Emperor of Arcane

On the calm sea, several warships moved forward slowly.

On the huge "Big Fish", the large iron containers are very eye-catching.

Thousands of meters away on the sea, an invisible magic warship was parked quietly on the sea.

Turning off the magic image in front of him, Councilor Caledo withdrew his gaze, with a little thought in his eyes.

That's steel!

He confirmed that what he saw was correct. The Gulf Territory had really mastered the technology of making ships with steel.

A lot of information flashed through Congressman Caledo's mind.

Grand Arcanist Knonorman.

The alchemy technology of the dwarf kingdom.

Duergar rare metals and craftsmen.

There is even the magic warship technology of the El elves.

"Hmph, these self-destructive traitors actually traded precious magic warship technology to humans. They are simply elves in vain."

A furious Archaon denounced the Elf for their corruption.

He didn't feel at all that there was anything wrong with the Cole Elf Kingdom wanting to exterminate the El Elf race.

Councilor Caledo ignored Archaon and had a very conniving attitude towards these somewhat arrogant young people.

The reason is simple: I want to keep the Cole Elf Kingdom active and aggressive.

For the education of newborn elves, it is necessary to add some conspicuous subjective colors.

This is what happened this year with the tacit consent of Parliament, and has achieved remarkable results over hundreds of years of expansion.

As for whether doing so would make the new elves become arrogant and cause trouble, the Elf Council was not too worried.

There is the suppression of the Elf Council, and there is a long life of cognitive growth and adjustment.

The once arrogant newborn elf will become mature sooner or later.

By that time, they would naturally understand the elf council's painstaking efforts.

What worries Councilor Caledo the most is whether the steel warships manufactured by the Gulf Territory will have a combat advantage over the magic warships of the Cole Elf Kingdom.

If these steel warships are really a threat.

Then he must obtain the production materials and technology of these steel warships and study them as soon as possible.

Look for weaknesses or counterattack.

At this moment, a communication message reached Congressman Caledo.

"The Gulf Territory mobilized 5,000 naval soldiers to accompany them?"

Councilor Caledo looked over subconsciously, noticed the big belly of the Big Fish, and immediately reacted.

"The Gulf Territory is secretly mobilizing naval soldiers in the name of transporting supplies?"

"What is their purpose? To develop islands further south? Or to prepare a pirate fleet to ambush Japanese pirates?"

Thinking about the possibilities of various problems, Councilor Caledo carefully looked at the map on the wall.

Trying to find the purpose of Gulf Territory doing this.

He had a vague hunch that as long as he could find out the purpose of the Gulf Territory, he could make targeted arrangements.

If these five thousand naval soldiers could be eliminated and trapped.

It is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to retake the fishing islands and block the bay to lead the way to overseas development.

After seeing the Gulf Territory's behavior and the strong production capacity that emerged from the transformation of fishing islands.

Councilor Caledor believes that the development potential of the Gulf Territory is no less than that of great arcanist families such as the Carl family.

If Matthew goes one step further and grows into a transcendent arcanist, or even a great arcanist.

Then the threat from the Gulf Territory to the Cole Elf Kingdom will reach an unimaginable level.

After all, the assassination actions of the Shadow Council have caused irrevocable hatred between the two parties.

Thinking of this, Councilor Caledo replied with a communication technique to the mysterious person who sent the communication message:

"Find out the purpose of the Gulf Territory transport fleet!"

After sending the communication, Congressman Caledo, who continued to think, calmly watched the battle information gathered by the Japanese pirates.

"The transformation warriors took action several times without any casualties, not only because of their strong recovery ability..."

Councilor Caledo is changing his views on reforming warriors little by little.

Archaon stared at the Gulf Territory's transport fleet from a distance, noticed Caledor thinking about it, rolled his eyes, and asked tentatively:

"Should we mobilize our forces and launch an attack now?"

In Archaon's view, as long as the Gulf Territory's fleet was wiped out, there was no need for any conspiracy.

Councilor Caledo glanced at him, nodded with a smile and said:

"You can give it a try and treat it as a test for promotion as a member of parliament."

"You can contact the two Japanese pirate teams and command them under standard employment conditions."

When Archaon heard this, his eyes lit up and he was immediately moved. He quickly contacted and made arrangements.

Archaon thought very clearly that if he failed, he would just die as cannon fodder, and it would not have any impact on his current status.

If it succeeds, he will certainly get a share of the credit.

Of course, Archaon, who was full of self-confidence, felt that there was no way he would lose.

The reason why Archaon is so "arrogant" is not because he is a brainless "idiot".

But he has the qualification to be proud.

He is only 35 years old. He has just entered the early stages of elf youth and is already an extraordinary ranger.

Even among the Cole elves with astonishing talents, they can be regarded as the most outstanding ones.

In addition to his outstanding personal abilities, Archaon also showed amazing talents and abilities in commanding operations.

He has commanded a patrol team and fought against the El Elf scout team for many years, achieving impressive results.

At the age of 20, when I first became an adult.

He was promoted to an elf commander commanding 500 people, completed a raid on an El elf stronghold, and successfully captured the opponent.

Then he got out of control and won many battles against the El elves, without even suffering a defeat.

Just this year, Archaon had an outstanding record of capturing an Elven fortress.

Not only was he successfully promoted to the elf commander in charge of an army.

He also became one of the youngest commanders in the history of the Kor elves.

His outstanding personal performance and strong family background made him a candidate for the reserve seat.

After seeing the El elves' invincibility on the battlefield and understanding the average strength of the Gulf Territory soldiers, it was natural not to attach too much importance to the latter.

"They are just a group of soldiers with average strength and have not yet reached the level of mid-level professionals. There is no need to worry at all."

"Although the Japanese pirates have a single type of arms, the combat effectiveness of their warships is also very average."

"But they have a good will to fight, their individual combat abilities are pretty good, and they have a numerical advantage."

"As long as we are willing to risk casualties and pay a certain price, we will definitely be able to capture the Gulf Territory's transportation team."

"The Gulf Territory's previous excellent record was just because the opponents were too weak. I just want to use you as a stepping stone for my promotion!"

Just do it.

Archaon quickly walked to the communication room of the magic warship and contacted two large pirate fleets.

I just finished delivering gifts to Archaan two days ago.

The Japanese pirate general, who was thinking about how to continue his relationship with him, was immediately overjoyed.

The Japanese pirates have grown from a bereaved dog to the current dominant force in the Eastern Islands, all thanks to the support of the "godfather" Cole Elf Kingdom.

There are bones they left behind, and they do all kinds of dirty work for them, and naturally they are protected by the Cole elves intentionally or unintentionally.

After understanding the power of the Cole elves, the Japanese pirates were naturally happy to be their dogs.

Complying with their will and orders is just the most basic operation.

After hearing Archaon's order, the two pirate generals who had been prepared immediately began to assemble the fleet.

In just 3 hours, a total of 63 pirate warships arrived in front of Archaon.

Almost 1/10 of the warships of the Japanese pirates along the eastern coast gathered here, and there were nearly 20,000 Japanese pirates.

In Archaon's view, having mobilized so many warships basically meant victory.

The next thing to do is to push it all the way through!

Yaya in the sky endured the slight whisper in his ear and curiously looked at the mighty pirate ship below:

"Are they ready to attack now?"

Yaya, who had received Matthew's careful instruction, couldn't help scratching his head.

There is no unified command.

There were no pre-battle drills.

There is no decent battle formation.

Just go ahead and do it like that?

Yaya observed carefully for a moment and confirmed her judgment. She said to Matthew with a bit of laughter and tears:

"A big fish has been taken, a total of 63 pirate warships, 2 seven-masted warships, 48 ​​five-masted warships, and 16 small warships."

"Equipped with about 200 magic cannons, and the rest are old cannons."

"There are no reinforcements behind, and they seem to be ready to go all out..."

Matthew, who heard the voice, slowly opened his eyes, faced Beelzebub with a bellicose smile, patted his shoulder and said:

"Inform everyone, prepare to fight!"

"Woooooooo..."

The long and thick sound quickly spread across the sea.

The six moving magic warships immediately escorted the Big Fish and accelerated towards the coast.

After hearing the signal, the soldiers on the ship accelerated into combat positions.

"Quickly check weapons, move ammunition, check supplies..."

"The number of enemies is relatively large, so everyone should be prepared for a protracted war."

"Revisit the shooting Zhuyuan again. When you shoot next time, you must be steady and accurate."

"Teach the new recruits well and lead them well..."

"..."

Various orders spread in the magic warship.

The Gulf Territory soldiers, who had undergone several days of drills, completed combat deployment at an extremely fast speed.

The artillery firing window was opened, and heavy crossbows were placed on the side of the ship.

At both ends of the warship, soldiers from the engineering team began to quickly build temporary sentry towers.

Seven boats came to a beach on the shore.

The Big Fish was in the middle, and the six warships were divided into two teams to guard the two sides, forming a "Fang" shape.

Not long after they docked, the pirate flag raised high appeared on the distant sea.

63 warships came in a mighty manner, which shocked and intimidated people.

When Archaon saw the formation of the Gulf Leader transport ship, a cheerful smile appeared on his handsome face, and he said proudly:

"Are you prepared to fight tooth and nail? The stupidest choice!"

"I'm also prepared to enjoy some hunting fun."

The two pirate generals were surprised to hear this.

The noble elf commander in front of them was their favorite fighting faction.

The elves of the main fighting faction often assign various combat missions to the Japanese pirates.

Even if it costs them heavy losses, they are often very generous.

Never cared about any loot, it was all theirs.

As long as they complete the task, they can basically get some rewards.

For example, this time, they reported on the development and combat information of the Gulf Territory.

They obtained 200 enhanced magic artillery pieces.

For more than 10 days, they have been preparing for the battle, and now it is time to reap the rewards.

Bai Jin and Tian Wen looked at each other and saw joy in each other's eyes. The two old foxes quickly made up their minds.

Everything follows Archaon's command!

Seeing the Gulf Territory's transport fleet getting closer and closer, Archaon, who did not have much experience in maritime combat but had made a lot of pre-war preparations, ordered very simply:

"Except for the eight main warships, the other warships are scattered and moving forward at full speed!"

Bai Jin and Tian Wen immediately made arrangements, and the sharp roars quickly spread throughout the entire fleet.

After hearing the order, the 63 warships spread out sparsely, some in front, some in the back, some fast, some slow, which made Archaon frown.

He silently stared at the motionless bay warship, with indifference and calmness in his eyes.

Although Archaon is arrogant, he never underestimates any opponent.

Once he gets into fighting mode, he goes all out!

Looking at the warships rushing over, seeing that they had entered the 1,200-meter shooting range, and looking away from the pet owl, Ruike said in a loud voice with some expectation:

"Report to the captain that the opponent has entered the artillery range!"

Aini's eyes flashed brightly, recalling the memories of being bullied by the Cole elves over the years, and she gave the order to attack very simply:

"Group 1 is ready, fire!"

"Round shooting!"

Yondala lit the fuse and listened to the roaring roar of the artillery. He felt blood boiling in his chest, and his big eyes flashed with excitement.

Rui Ke, who was observing from the side, stared at the flying shells, his eyes widened and his mouth opened slightly.

I saw a spinning cannonball hitting the bow of a warship.

Huge gap, flying wood chips.

"Yeah! Hit!"

Ruike cheered excitedly and quickly began to report the distance of the warship:

"1100 meters!"

Yodara raised his eyebrows proudly. Hearing the rotation of shooting from his teammates, he quickly changed the ammunition with the cooperating soldiers.

Ruike clearly saw that the firing effect of the first round of artillery was not ideal.

Of the 40 shells fired in total, only 4 hit the target.

Only two of them caused damage to enemy warships.

The pirate warships that were coming in scattered directions, seeing that the cannons had little lethality, immediately raised their sails and rushed over at full speed.

At this moment, the second round of artillery salvo fired!

Boom!

The flying artillery shells fell one after another.

Ruike saw with his own eyes that 15 shells in this round hit the enemy warship and made big holes one after another.

The momentum of the opponent's attack was visible to the naked eye.

Ruike sniffed the smell of gunpowder smoke in the air, her eyes flashing with excitement.

However, she quickly suppressed the desire in her heart and shouted in a clear voice:

"1020 meters!"

The third round of artillery roared.

The volley of artillery fire drew burning trails in the air.

The two smaller warships suffered heavy hits from two cannons. Two large holes were opened under the bows, and sea water quickly poured into them.

Ruike knew that they had lost their fighting power.

The faster you rush now, the faster you will sink.

Just as Yodala was about to launch for the second time, a brand new command came to his ears:

"Each team forms a group and focuses fire on the same warship!"

Yondala soon heard the squad leader's order again: "Aim at the third pirate ship to the left from the center line and shoot!"

Yondala adjusted the firing angle of the artillery as quickly as possible, and aimed the muzzle at the area that had been calculated long ago.

She waited for the target to drive to the edge of the area and fired an advance shot.

Yondala resisted the urge to see the effect of his attack, opened the back of the barrel, and skillfully cleared the barrel.

"Yodala, well done!"

"That's a really good shot!"

"marvelous!"

"Yodala, handsome!"

"..."

Ruike spoke first, and the other companions also praised excitedly.

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly involuntarily, and Yondala resisted the urge to jump up in celebration.

After loading the shells as quickly as possible, he raised his head to see the shooting situation.

A huge gap appeared below the waterline of the target warship that had just been selected.

It was quite fast just now, but now it had no choice but to stop.

The tail slowly raised, and the warship gradually sank to the bottom of the sea.

"Is this really my credit?"

Such doubts appeared in his mind, but his eyes sparkled with joy.

Yondala felt full of energy and clenched his fists quite excitedly.

The captain even reported in a loud voice:

"Group 4 destroyed the target!"

"Select the second target and aim at the second warship to the right of the center line!"

"Fire!"

Several artillery pieces fired again!

The rotating cannonballs flew into the distance with a "swipe".

Target hit!

The roar of artillery fire one after another continued to resound on the sea.

The fire blockade network composed of 120 artillery pieces showed amazing lethality.

In just 6-7 rounds of bombardment, 4 pirate warships were lost.

The fastest pirate warship could only reach a position 700 meters away from the leading fleet in the bay.

They paid no attention to the casualties of their companions.

Because, the Gulf Territory is once again focusing on these leading birds.

Boom!

One warship after another was hit.

The Japanese pirates also began to fight back, firing at the Gulf Territory transport ships like targets.

The shells crisscrossed in the air, spinning towards their respective targets.

The leading fleet in the bay also began to be hit, causing the ferocious Japanese pirates to roar in triumph.

But gradually, the Japanese pirates discovered something was wrong.

The magic warships in the Gulf Territory that were under intensive attack did not have any gaps torn apart by the artillery, and they still seemed to be intact.

Moreover, the intensity of the artillery fire from the magic warships in the Gulf Territory is getting stronger and stronger.

The closer the distance, the more lethal the Bay Territory's magic artillery is.

Concentrated fire attacks from 5 or even 10 artillery pieces.

Even a five-masted warship can only last 3-4 rounds at most.

It will be bombarded with a terrifying gap and sink in the welcome of the sea water.

The damage caused by the Japanese pirates to the magic warships in the Gulf Territory can be said to be minimal.

Archaon, who was watching the battle from behind, immediately noticed this.

The pirate warship's magic cannon fires cannonballs at a distance of 500 meters.

It can only make a dent in the magic warship of the Gulf Territory, and cannot even create a gap.

Archaon saw two shells hit the same part of the magical warship.

But it only destroyed the steel plate in that part.

The steel plate fell down after being hit for the third time, revealing the hard magic hardwood inside.

There is also a second layer of defense inside!

Archaon put down the telescope in his hand and noticed the difficulty of the Gulf Territory.

In particular, he soon discovered that the five-masted warship in his impression was very sturdy and had strong defense.

At this moment, a total of 8 ships have been damaged, and only 29 ships are charging.

There are only 5 other small boats left.

They rush the fastest and die the fastest!

Archaon, who felt that the Gulf Territory was troublesome for the first time, looked at the Gulf Territory's magic warships that kept firing, and said without hesitation:

"Everyone charges, crashes into each other, and fights as a gang!"

After hearing this, Bei Jin and Tian Wen had no time to feel sorry for the warships that were damaged in the battle, and without hesitation issued the order to "attack with the whole army".

The more people fighting below die, the richer the "compensation" their "godfather" will give them!

The overall situation may suffer, but pirate generals like them will definitely make a profit.

Looking at the pirate warship getting closer and closer, Yondala felt more and more nervous.

Not only did the movements of her hands make no mistakes, but they became faster under the stimulation of pressure.

Even if Archaon made the right choice in time.

The pirate warships that the whole army was charging were still under the fierce bombardment of the Gulf Territory's magic warships, and nearly 1/3 of them were damaged.

The remaining pirate warships also began to feel scared and rushed towards the warships in the Gulf Territory.

Once the two sides collide.

No matter how powerful the magic artillery in the Bay Territory is, it is impossible to penetrate the entire hull and shoot!

This is the desperate tactic of the Japanese pirates, and it is also their only chance to win!

Boom!

The deafening impact sound, coupled with the vibration from the ship's hull, made Yodala feel a little uncomfortable.

Ruike next to her rubbed her sore ears and shouted at the top of her lungs:

"Target warship, 50 meters!"

Everyone can already see the seaweed and parasites on the other side's pirate warship through the shooting port.

Aini, who noticed the opponent's tactics, went through the subsequent preparations in her mind, and ordered without hesitation:

"Keep firing, prepare for impact, melee teams move into combat positions."

The crazy burst of gunfire hit the hull of the ship hard.

Even the magic warship with steel protection had holes that were penetrated.

Some were not even repaired in time, revealing the soldiers who were shot and killed inside.

The Gulf leading fleet also began to suffer casualties!

However, the Japanese pirates were even worse. Four more five-masted warships sank to the bottom of the sea.

From time to time, panicked cries for help from Japanese pirates could be heard on the sea.

The pirate warship rushed with all its strength, and with the momentum of dying together, it crashed into the magic warship with a "bang".

Click!

Wow!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The sound of artillery and the cry of killing filled my ears.

The sound of broken wood, the cracking of the ship's hull, and the sound of water flooding all came together.

It is also mixed with the sound of bowstrings, the roar of magic, and the footsteps of golems.

Everything you need and everything you need!

The ferocious-looking Japanese pirate climbed out of the smashed warship and wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth.

Like evil ghosts, they used their limbs together and crowded towards the magic warship.

Subsequent warships arrived one after another and crowded on this beach.

Looking at those cruel and bloodthirsty eyes, Aini rubbed her fingers gently, feeling the urge to perform more surgeries.

She felt the shock of the impact and calmed down, and said to the soldiers on the side of the Big Fish:

"Set up the crossbow and shoot!"

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Crossbow arrows, dense as rain, covered the Japanese pirates who jumped over.

Heavy crossbow arrows can easily pierce iron armor, not to mention the tattered armor worn by Japanese pirates.

As long as you don't have time to dodge, your life will be taken away by the deadly crossbow arrows.

If you get hurt, you're dead!

The Japanese pirates who rushed up managed to escape the crossbow fire. They had just climbed onto the side of the magic warship, but they ran into a barrage of spears.

Poof!

The weaker Japanese pirates had no time to dodge and were stuck in the air like meat skewers.

Some high-level Japanese pirates tried their best to parry the spears, and finally managed to get close to them, but then ran into a shield wall that made them feel desperate.

The Japanese pirates were extremely aggrieved.

They never expected that the Gulf Territory soldiers did not fight according to the rules of the sea at all.

In the rough sea, the ship's hull is rocking.

Combat masters with outstanding one-on-one abilities and flexible combat styles are the mainstream combat methods.

No one would be like the soldiers of the Gulf Territory. Fighting on a ship is as "sterile" as on land.

They lined up for confrontation, and there were many spears.

Which Japanese pirate can break the formation?

A series of spears were pierced together on the not spacious deck.

There is no way to hide, there is no way to avoid it!

Send him to your door to be slaughtered!

The Japanese pirates who attacked in the first wave suffered heavy casualties.

Fortunately, they did not die in vain in front of the shield formation of the Gulf Territory like the Cole elves did when they stormed the city.

They jumped back one after another and waited for opportunities to fight again.

However, the Gulf Territory will naturally not make them feel too good. The crossbow arrows falling from above are constantly causing new damage to them.

If you don’t advance, you will die!

If you enter, you will die!

For a time, the momentum of the Japanese pirates' attack was directly curbed.

Archaon, who came from behind, ordered the eight battleships to stop advancing.

Seeing that the Japanese pirates' attack was blocked, he calmly stroked the hilt of his sword and said in a cold voice:

"Target, enemy ship deck, shoot!"

Bai Jin and Tian Wen took a look at the battlefield and immediately realized that shooting like this would definitely lead to accidental injuries to their own personnel.

But they don't care, as long as Archaon is satisfied!

After receiving the order, several main warships aimed at the battlefield 500 meters away.

But just as they were about to fire, a roar of cannonballs flew over.

Boom!

Two five-masted warships were destroyed instantly, and several other warships were also hit hard, causing many damages to the hull.

Archaon was caught off guard and immediately realized the danger.

He looked up calmly and saw at a glance the densely packed soldiers and artillery on the Big Fish.

This is the backhand of Bay Collar!

After recording the trajectory left by the shot, Archaon couldn't help but smile coldly:

"It seems that the information is true. Most of the naval soldiers in the Gulf Territory are here..."

There was no regret in Archaon's tone, he just turned his head and glanced in the direction of Councilor Caledor's magic ship.

He returned his attention to the battlefield, looked at the gap created by the impact on the deck, and said to the nervous Bei Jin and Tian Wen:

"Open the hatch and release the winter wolf!"

In the warehouse inside the warship, more than 20 large iron cages were opened.

The huge winter wolf, four to five meters long, opened its mouth and bit off the head of the trembling doorkeeper.

They greedily tore these corpses into pieces, then swallowed them and ran quickly towards the top of the ship, paying no attention to the fearful Japanese pirates.

Soon, more than 50 winter wolves rushed to the deck, causing panic among the Japanese pirates.

But these ferocious and terrifying behemoths showed contempt for them. They had strong strength and wisdom that was no less than that of adults.

Archaon pointed to the strongest winter wolf and said:

"Attack, break the blockade, and then you'll be free."

The leader of the winter wolf, who was six to seven meters long and exuded a powerful aura, gave Archaon a cold look. He said in a bone-chilling tone:

"This is the end of our deal!"

"Ouch!!!"

With a loud roar, the winter wolves jumped off the boat under the leadership of the winter wolf leader.

The Japanese pirates looked at them with wide eyes and found these winter wolves trampling on the sea.

Huge pieces of ice have formed under their feet, allowing them to land and jump.

In the blink of an eye, the winter wolf jumped hundreds of meters away and rushed to the crowded battlefield!

Archaon, who had done all this, even gave an offensive gesture to several main warships next to him.

Bei Jin and Tian Wen, who were hiding from the artillery fire, immediately issued the order for a general attack.

Looking at the chaotic battlefield, Archaon sneered proudly:

"Dear Congressman, I wonder if your attack plan is going well?"

…

Not smooth at all!

There are two small islands 20 kilometers away from the fishing island.

Dozens of Japanese warships have surrounded them, firing guns and bombarding them non-stop.

A large number of Japanese pirate infantry have surrounded them and are launching a fierce siege.

The stronghold that seemed likely to be flooded at any time had already held on for more than half an hour.

The defensive soldiers still protected the city wall.

Like a deadly abyss, it swallows up the Japanese pirates who climb up.

The fierce artillery fire was still flashing brightly.

Bombard the surrounding warships!

Six or seven warships were already on the verge of sinking due to severe damage.

Such huge casualties made Congressman Caledo quite embarrassed.

But he resisted the urge to take action personally and decisively ordered other Japanese pirates to attack the fishing island.

Hundreds of warships surged toward the fishing island.

The ferocious-looking Japanese pirates on the ship couldn't wait to start a killing spree.

Councilor Caledo withdrew his gaze from the island stronghold. He had already mobilized most of the Japanese pirates' effective forces near the east coast.

As long as he takes the fishing island, he doesn't care no matter how many Japanese pirates die!
