Free Web NovelChapter 1105: Chapter 480: Estalia Duelist
For a few days, the ocean voyage was quite dull for them, but fortunately, Laine had beautiful company, so it wasn’t too lonely. There was music and song every night, and the time passed very joyously.
After eight days, they arrived at the Bilibali Duchy.
The Sea God Fleet naturally wouldn’t enter the port of Bilibali Duchy with fanfare; that would be akin to declaring war. In fact, as they approached the port, Laine and his crew transferred to a merchant ship, leading fifty Sea God Knights to land in the Bilibali Duchy, disguised as a diplomatic trade delegation on a friendly visit.
The appearance of the Sea God Fleet created enormous pressure for the fleet and nobles of the Bilibali Duchy. The people at the port watched the family crest with a blue background and yellow trident, as if recalling the fear once instilled by the Sea God Fleet.
The defeat of the once-dominant "Invincible Fleet" in the Old World seas hadn’t been long past. Many at the docks had heard the terrifying tales of how the Sons of the Sea God tore this country’s pride into shreds and fed it to the fish, stories well known in Estalia.
"Damn it! What are those hateful Boldro people doing here?!"
"This is free land! This is the territory given to us by War Goddess Mirmidia, and absolutely no Brittania people are allowed to covet it!"
"Bilibali belongs to the Bilibali people!"
"Oh heavens! Are they here to attack us?!"
No matter whether the residents were fearful or curious, the Boldro merchant ships had already approached the port docks.
The first to come down was Captain Pepe and the sailors. The sailors from Boldro looked fierce and formidable, all equipped with scimitars and fire cannons or crossbows. They carried many goods, assembling at the port docks, with such a strong presence that even the dock guards felt overwhelmed, and the tax officer prepared to collect taxes felt under significant pressure.
Then came the powerful Sea God Knights. They were fully armed, wearing luxurious yellow and blue cloaks, each donned a cross helmet or kite helmet topped with a golden mermaid statue holding a trident. They were all equipped with tridents, with scimitars hanging at their waists, forming a neat line as they descended the deck.
Just the sight of these Sea God Knights made the dock tax officer realize that the three hundred-plus guards at the dock were not a match for this group of Sea God Knights.
But that wasn’t all.
Soon after, a knight wearing Brittania Secret Silver Full Plate Armor, with a Golden Sea God Cross Helmet on his head and a knight with the Boldro family crest on his waist appeared, surrounded by the Sea God Knights.
His full plate armor looked like a genuine artwork, with every inch intricately decorated with ancient scriptures and silver. The Sea God’s Holy Emblem and patterns were piled together on the surface of the cloak, adorned with golden holy beads and the holy relic left by the Boldro ancestors. Golden fleur-de-lis patterns were engraved on the gold rim of the armor and cloak surface. A Holy Grail Knight Badge hung on his chest, and on his shield, there was likewise a gold cup pattern.
This is a Holy Grail Knight!
How handsome! This was the first thought of almost every woman on the dock.
And that wasn’t all. After this Holy Grail Knight, a few more people came forth.
The first was a man in full plate armor from the Justice Church, without a helmet, with a shield bearing the Templar Order emblem on his back. His golden hair and blue eyes exuded sunshine and enthusiasm, as he waved to the crowd.
The second and third were both women.
One had black-brown shoulder-length hair, wearing a fiery red Jialan Female Elder Robe, holding a purple magic staff, "Yundi’s Staff," as she smiled and stepped down the stairs from the deck. This witch had a beautiful oval face, her lovely almond eyes carrying a sweet smile and curiosity, and dressed in a pink tulip fragrant floral dress, her graceful silhouette resembling a ripe peach, with silver lace-up high heels as the finishing touch.
Next was a Dark Elf. This Dark Elf’s black hair reached her waist, with a black mask on her face making her appearance unclear, yet that was enough to trigger countless mortal fantasies about the beauty beneath the mask. Captivating was the only pair of extremely cold and merciless amber eyes she revealed, wearing a gold pointed crown atop her head. Her fiery figure was clad in a nocturnal Lisianthus gothic silk ribbon fishtail dress, reaching the middle of her calf, showing only her straight calves wrapped in black stockings and a pair of purple short boots.
Some sailors who had just traded ashore were already displaying expressions of lust.
Finally, an elegant Great Noble wearing a Brittania Count’s attire walked out of the deck, with parted black hair and a silver skull-marked hand half sword hanging on his waist. His chest bore a golden badge with white wings, with a Holy Grail Knight Commander’s Badge, radiating strong confidence and slight arrogance. He swept his blue gaze around, nodding: "So, we have arrived."
As one of the two strongest city-states in Estalia, Bilibali naturally appeared very prosperous. Most of the city’s buildings had white walls and red tiles, arranged in a tiered layout from far to near, showcasing strong layering. They were built with simple wood and stone structures and cool-toned residences, extending up to the cliff edge.
Compared to the gentle sunshine of Brittania, the sun in Estalia was much more fiery, even making one feel somewhat glaring. The time had reached mid-April, and most residents wore only one or two pieces of clothing. They didn’t appear very wealthy, but at least in this period of hunger between seasons, there were no signs of starvation.
