Extraordinary Sailing

"The patriarch of the 'Eternal Flame' is quite capable!"

Except for the hasty response to the "bomb" in the middle, which was a bit flawed, there were no mistakes in other actions, and the methods were as accurate as textbooks.

He was clearly an experienced combatant in the New World, not a "civilian" priest who only held baptisms, weddings, and funerals for believers.

In fact, for the navies of the continental countries, unless the conditions are really not allowed, they will generally deploy the priests of the Dean level (second-level extraordinary) clergy on the main battleships above the third level, and the huge battleships are the churches they are stationed.

Even some ocean-going warships or merchant ships, even if they do not reach the battleship level, will send ordinary priests equivalent to apprentice level.

The benefits are many.

These clergy generally undertake the duties of sticking to their beliefs, expelling evil spirits, holding funerals, acting as guest doctors, and even providing necessary magical support at critical moments.

Because of the great role of the clergy, when countries established colonies in the early days of exploring the New World.

The top three buildings that need to be built are churches of their own gods, and even a small village must have a stone altar.

And the clergymen of the "Eternal Flame" church are obviously the group with the most outstanding fighting ability even in the church of the Seven Gods because of the power of the gods.

As a member of the Phalatis Navy, who is determined to compete for maritime supremacy, Ivan certainly did a lot of homework on his opponents and imaginary enemies.

The key question: Where is the "eternal fire" sacred?

Is He an eternal flame, a symbol of human continuation, a way forward in darkness, or God's promise of a better future for believers? The eternal fire is the hope of all mankind!

His disciples must answer in this way.

In the propaganda of the church, the image of this god is an eternal holy fire.

In each sacrificial ceremony, believers will carefully carve themselves, engrave the holy words and put their own devout wood chips into the burning brazier.

Believers' faith and offerings are His eternal fuel.

Although "Eternal Flame" is the state religion of Cyrus, there are actually many countries that believe in it, and they have a vast parish and wider influence in the entire south of the Old Continent.

And as we all know, although the true relationship between the two gods is unclear, the "Eternal Flame" church has always regarded the "Dawn of the Dawn" church of the Sark Empire, which partially overlaps in clergy, as its sworn enemy.

Its domineering style makes it hard to tolerate people with different ideas and beliefs, and its behavior is sometimes even more extreme than the "Breaking Dawn" church, which is faintly number one in the mainland in terms of comprehensive strength.

It is said that the various "heretics" burned to death on the stake by them, heretics, monsters, witches, cutting-edge scholars... are more than all the orthodox churches combined.

However, the domineering Sirius plus the more domineering church may not necessarily result in one plus one greater than two.

Even Ivan has heard about it. With the continuous growth of Sirius' maritime authority, the contemporary Philip II has the idea of ​​turning the "emperor's dream" of successive generations of kings into reality.

But there is an irreconcilable contradiction in it!

All the crowns of the Old Continent came from the Holy Losar Empire (the so-called Sark Empire is just because it happened to occupy the capital of the original empire, a self-proclaimed emperor, no country recognized his title of emperor), and the orthodox throne of the Holy Losar Empire Sex comes from the primordial god Tirentius.

This is the only great existence on the mainland who once claimed the title of "Creator", "World Creator", "King of Kings", and "God of Gods".

Although everyone knows that he is not a personal god, and has never had his own temple and priests, he only lives in the original belief of the Holy Lothar Empire.

But even a symbolic god of rules is still intolerable among the fanatical followers of the "Eternal Flame" Church.

They have no objection to the pursuit of secular power, and they have also gained many benefits with the expansion of Cyrus.

But if Philip II won the title of emperor and the Kingdom of Cyrus was also promoted to the Holy Cyrus Empire, where would this empire put the "Eternal Flame"?

Because that "holy" does not refer to "eternal fire"!

This may not be a big deal for some enlightened churches, but for the "Eternal Flame" church, which has acted recklessly and become more radical these years, there is absolutely no room for negotiation.

This is the crux of the dispute between kingship and theocracy!

Although Ivan doesn't know the situation inside Sirius as well as Ilya who is also in Tulip, but even if he just thinks about it, he knows that it may not be as harmonious as outsiders see.

However, no matter whether they have internal conflicts or not, it does not prevent Aiwen from making the judgment that the "Eternal Flame" priest is a difficult enemy.

His hero, my enemy!

Excellent priests are not the reason for Aiwen to be merciful.

Taking advantage of the panic in the fleet, two Tier 4 ships had already arrived behind them in line formation.

"They are immune to flames, and scorching bullets are not very effective. Just put solid bullets on me, speed up the rate of fire, and blow their asses!"

"Follow orders! All artillery groups are ready, load solid bullets! Fire!"

The extraordinary spiritual light on the command knife spread out simultaneously.

【Extreme Artillery Skills! 】

boom! boom! boom! boom!

Under the cover of fog, the third-class ship "Singdenburg" was focused on fire.

The poop that survived the explosion of the alchemy bomb was finally completely torn apart by several 24-pound heavy artillery shells fired in sequence at the moment when the broadside guns of two battleships passed by.

There were even two shells that went straight into the lower artillery deck, bouncing and destroying several heavy artillery mounts.

Rumble——

The iron artillery weighing several tons kept rolling on the artillery deck as the ship bumped, easily crushing the many artillerymen who were preparing for battle here into a pulp.

"Ah! Help me!"

"my leg"

"."

Howls and cries for help became one.

In addition to the two cruisers that have almost completely lost their combat effectiveness, the last intact fifth-tier ship was also damaged a lot because of its role as the frigate of the "Singdenburg".

"Gunner! Return fire!"

The captain, Colonel Stanley, turned blue when he heard the movement from the lower deck. Although he couldn't see the appearance of the enemy, he was still calm and decisively organized a tentative counterattack.

At the very least, let the attacking side cast a mouse, try to interrupt the rhythm of their attack.

The artillery on the battleship within the firing range, heard the order and began to fire in the direction pointed by Dean Edmund's finger.

boom! boom!

but.

The fire control officers in charge of the decks could not see the target, and it was of little use to know which direction the attack was coming from. Because the distance cannot be determined, the angle of fire cannot be determined.

The possibility of a shell hitting the sea is much greater than that of a warship.

As the elite battle priest of "Eternal Flame", although Edmund is powerful, he is not omnipotent.

Although the keen sense of hearing can roughly judge the position of the opponent, it cannot replace the fire controller to adjust the firing angle of the artillery.

But at this time, we are all in the same boat, and there is no such thing as being alone in a naval battle.

He gritted his teeth hard.

He took off a radiant fire ruby ​​hanging from his neck, and slammed it into the brazier under his feet.

Boom!

[Divine Art · Gem Sacrifice · Flame Beast! 】

The seemingly valuable transparent ruby ​​seemed to be gasified, and disappeared in the bright yellow flames in the blink of an eye.

next moment.

Aww——

A volcanic eruption-like flame suddenly flew out of the brazier, turning into a huge red monster. The long beak is full of sharp triangular teeth, and the wings formed by the dissimilation of the skin membrane spread more than 12 meters.

It seemed to be a huge pterodactyl that was burning all over its body!

call!

Wrapped in endless flames, the pterodactyl quickly made a circle over the "Singdenburg". Before the next round of shells arrived, the flames between its chest and abdomen became brighter, and it raised its head to the sky and let out an angry roar.

The huge red light circle centered on its body and spread far away.

Within this range, the thick fog summoned by the "fog silver lamp", which is no different from the natural water fog, is naturally swept away.

The sunlight poured down again, forming a perfect circle with a radius of one kilometer.

At the same time, it also revealed that the actual distance from the "Singdenburg" was only 300 meters, and at this time they were about to turn around and go back to the two battleships that violently beat the ass of the third-tier ship.

Because of the steering angle, at this time, most of the ship's hull happened to be exposed to the firing range of the "Singdenburg"'s artillery.

Anghou——

Apart from anything else, under Edmund's control, the Flame Pterodactyl has already rushed towards the two battleships.

"Damn rat, you caused me to lose a top-grade flawless ruby, and I want your lives to pay for it! Purify all filth in the flames!"

chatter

twitter--

Several "Black Feather Frigatebirds" and "Great Albatrosses" who wanted to stop the attack of the flame "monster bird" were easily defeated and turned into raging fireballs and fell into the sea.

Plop! Plop!

This is the first time that Aiwen's air force has been crushed in terms of air supremacy after it became an army, and the total number of large seabirds with only double digits suffered battle damage.

Distressed to let them dodge the stop loss quickly.

Seeing the flaming pterodactyl rushing towards the "Storm Horn" crazily, as if vowing to turn this battleship into a red lotus hell, Aiwen stood motionless.

The clerics of "Eternal Flame" have shields. Doesn't he, an official wizard, have no shields?

Pulling off the iron-black "oak fruit" tied to his chest, he uttered a high-pitched incantation like an echo in the mountains:

obic——

[Official Witchcraft · World Barriers! 】

The green light bloomed, and a spiritual wind as warm as a spring breeze was summoned.

Although the name of witchcraft is grand, but in analogy, it is actually the same series as the "Wizard Shield" of various schools.

It's just that the name "World Barrier" originated from the "tree of life stump" that separated the east and west in the middle of the continent, and it has obtained the invisible blessing of the mysterious source of the school!
