King

"ah……"

"Where did the scorpion come from?"

"The centipede has entered the cabin!"

…

"There seems to be something under the boat?"

"No, the ghost is chipping away at the ship!"

"Magic, take action quickly, don't let these heretics get close to the warship!"

Moses, who realized the problem, hurriedly ordered.

Unfortunately it was too late. Affected by the storm, the fleet did not discover the approaching ghost immediately and missed the best time to intercept it.

When the order was given, the resurrected poisonous insects were already plundering the cabin.

Many officers and soldiers were poisoned before they could react.

Not many people were poisoned to death, but the panic caused by the screams continued to spread among the fleet.

"Your Excellency Commander, the situation is not good!

Most of our masters accompanying the army entered the Sea of ​​Mist. At this time, they were attacked by ghosts. It was difficult to take care of all the warships at the same time.

There are also these poisonous insects that appear suddenly. It is obvious that someone is behind it. Otherwise, how could the ghosts have so many thoughts? "

The deputy's reminder made Moses look shocked. Then he said angrily:

"Damn Alpha people, how dare you collude with ghosts. I will definitely report this to the Governor of the Holy See and give them a good look!

Send the order and let the people of the Inquisition light the lantern. The sea is very rough, so put it in the cabin..."

Before he finished speaking, a warship sank in front of Moses. The intrusion of seawater caused waves, which also affected nearby ships.

There is no need to think about revenge on the Alpha Kingdom for the time being. How to survive the current disaster is the key to the problem.

The flagship was safe and sound. That was because Hudson knew that there were experts left to protect the commander, and deliberately let the ghosts avoid this strong bone first.

The remaining warships were in dire straits. The poisonous insects plundering the cabin, the elusive ghosts, and the storm on the side made it impossible to fight.

Countless soldiers received orders from their commanders, but they didn't even know where the enemy was. Under the influence of panic, some soldiers with fragile hearts collapsed directly.

Either they dropped their weapons and ran around on the ship, or they picked up their weapons and stayed on the ship to chop at random, without caring about executing orders.

However, evil things like "spiritual lamps", even if they are left unactivated, will affect longevity if they are exposed to them for a long time. Big shots are very taboo about this stuff, so naturally they will not bring it to their flagship.

Of course, if it were really placed in the flagship, Moses would not give such an order that would almost kill them all.

The first warship sank, as if a valve had been opened, and one warship after another continued to sink like dumplings, and was finally swallowed by the sea.

Realizing that the situation was not good, Moses ordered again in a panic: "Hurry up and let the magic crystal cannon fire. There are so many ghosts, they must have encountered a ghost ship!

All light magicians, use lighting skills immediately to find the location of the ghost ship..."

The judgment was correct, creatures like ghosts were rare, especially at sea.

Occasionally encountering a few may be an accident, or they may appear on a large scale, or they may encounter a ghost ship, or they may have strayed into some dangerous place.

The fleet had been parked in place without moving, and suddenly encountered a large number of ghost attacks. It must have encountered a ghost ship that came to "rob".

However, the way to deal with it is a bit awkward. Illumination spells were released one by one, which looked particularly dazzling in the storm.

Unfortunately, after searching the sea for miles around, no trace of the ghost ship was found. The magic crystal cannons were all loaded, but they were embarrassed to find that they could not find the target.

I don't know if the artillerymen were too nervous or the rolling waves caused an accident, but a magic crystal cannon was suddenly fired. Immediately afterwards, all the magic crystal cannons began to rumble.

He originally wanted to stop it, but after a slight hesitation, Moses gave up the idea.

Affected by the storm, even with lighting, the distance that can be seen is very limited. If the ghost ship hides out of sight, bombarding it with magic crystals may yield unexpected gains.

Moses no longer had any extravagant hopes of annihilating the opponent. As long as he could drive away the sneak attack ghost ship, he would be very satisfied.

At worst, it would have to be delayed until dawn. The darkness of night would greatly increase the combat effectiveness of the ghosts. If the battle took place during the day, they would never be so passive.

In the distance, Hudson, who witnessed the battle, had a faint smile on his lips.

Frankly speaking, the quality shown by the Holy See fleet after the attack was considered excellent in the entire Aslant continent.

If it hadn't been for the sudden storm that provided cover for the sneak attack, it would not have been easy to succeed.

The only flaw in this operation is that there is no way to see the light of day. If the Kingdom's fleet had been notified in advance, they might be able to capture a few warships and take them back as trophies.

Now, we can only wait for the sunken ship to be salvaged after the war. Whether anything can be gained is still unknown.

…

In the foggy sea area, the search team received the signal for help and hurried back. Unfortunately, the more anxious you are, the easier it is to lose your way.

In storms, the position of warships is constantly moving. Returning the way we came was just a luxury. After turning the boat around and running around in a daze, we soon lost our way.

Harmody, who was leading the team, was so angry that he cursed the captain. I had known for a long time that this trip would not go smoothly. I did not expect that the first accident would happen to the fleet staying outside.

If they had known that the ghost ship would attack the fleet, why would they have been busy and just wait and see?

"Commander, the sea is too windy and there are no markers nearby, so there is no way to lock the direction.

Otherwise, send someone to investigate first and determine the location of the fleet, and then we can rush over. "

As soon as the middle-aged captain finished speaking, he got slapped in the face. It was obvious that this was a bad idea.

It would not be a big problem to send experts out to search for the location of the fleet at other times, but this is a foggy sea area.

Everywhere you looked it was gray. If you really left the warship, you might not even be able to find your way back.

"Hamody, think of a way quickly. There are too few masters left in the fleet, and we will definitely suffer a big loss when encountering an eighth-level ghost ship.

If we return too late and the fleet suffers heavy losses, the Holy Mountain will not be able to explain it. "

The old ascetic monk said sternly.

They, dark cultivators, have always been unpopular in the Holy See. Even if he became an eighth-level powerhouse, his status was not that high.

There is no way, talent and birth environment are innate and cannot be changed by non-human forces.

In fact, these people are considered lucky. If it weren't for the fact that the Holy See was in decline and needed "evil cult" organizations to do the dirty work, they wouldn't even be qualified to practice.

Three hundred years ago, when the Holy See dominated the continent, anyone who detected dark talents would be humanely destroyed.

Even if the parents are powerful people and cannot bear to see their own flesh and blood being brutally murdered, the most they can do is hide their children with dark talents among the people.

For a group of dark powerhouses, this operation is their best chance to make a comeback.

The strong ones are respected in the Aslant continent. As long as a dark saint is born, their embarrassing situation in the Holy See will inevitably change.

Correspondingly, if the operation fails and the fleet suffers heavy losses, they are also the best people to take the blame.

Because of their faith, there are not many people in the Holy See who dislike them.

Giving the old man a hard kick, Harmody said angrily: "That's enough! Didn't you see that I was thinking of a solution? What a mess!"

In terms of strength, he is indeed not as good as the old man in front of him, but he is a seventh-level paladin and also serves as the commander of the fleet, so his status is actually above the old man.

A few minor conflicts are nothing, the key is how to find the location of the main fleet. He returned the same way he had just taken for granted, and after a wild ride, he didn't know where he was now.

"I have already sent a message to Moses, asking him to make the magic crystal cannon sound to guide us in the direction. As long as we close the distance, we can identify the direction based on the sound and find our way there.

There is only the sound of the storm here, which proves that the fleet is not in this sea area. Change the direction and continue searching! "

Deep in his heart, Hammody once wanted to order his troops to be divided into three groups and search in the other three directions to increase the probability of encountering him. It was just his subconscious telling him of the danger.

This feeling saved his life several times. The thrilling feeling appeared again, and Harmody really did not dare to take it lightly.

…

The bloody battle continued. The rain washed away the blood stains left on the ship's board, but it could not wash away the solemn atmosphere on the battlefield.

The roaring sound of artillery still continued, but it seemed a little weak. As the warships sank one after another, the sound of gunfire became weaker and weaker.

Watching helplessly, the fleet in his hands kept encountering vicious enemies, but he couldn't even find the direction of the enemy. Moses could no longer sit still.

There was a voice in his heart that kept reminding him:

"We can't continue to sit still and wait for death!"

"Can't sit still and wait for death!"

…

If the ghost ship's body cannot be found, killing more ghosts will be in vain. Take the ghost king in front of you as an example. He died twice on the flagship, but the result is still alive and kicking.

The strength is indeed weakened compared to the original, but this weakening is too insignificant. On the contrary, two eighth-level experts on the flagship were killed, which became a permanent loss.

People can die and resurrect, and they can choose to die together with a group of little ghosts at the risk of their lives, but the strong men on the warship are really dead when they die.

Judging from the current battle situation, if the ghost ship cannot be found and inflicts heavy damage on the opponent, the fleet will not be able to survive until dawn.

Knowing is one thing, but how to get out of trouble is another. The inner struggle directly affected his command.

In fact, the battle is going on now, whether there is a commander or not. Anyway, the entire battlefield was in chaos, and the formation had long since ceased to exist.

Affected by the waves, the magic crystal cannon accidentally damaged one's own warship, which happened more than once. However, they still dare not let the artillery fire stop. This is the last spiritual sustenance of the soldiers.

"Send the order, the whole army disperses and breaks out!"

After struggling hard, Moses ordered helplessly.

A warship can run away, but if it stays in place, it will only be slowly worn to death by the enemy. The ghost ship's location could not be found, and it was impossible to launch a counterattack.

It's not that he is incompetent, it's that the enemy is too cunning. Whose ghost ship comes out to rob, but only the ghost can be seen but not the ship?

The nearby officer tried to persuade, but finally kept his mouth shut. After issuing this order, Moses will definitely be in bad luck when he is held accountable in the future.

But if we don't carry out a dispersed breakout, we won't be able to pass this level tonight, so how can we talk about the future?

…

Among the clouds, a man, a dragon and a bear were watching the battle. They were holding magic shields and constantly commenting on the battle below.

Even if he didn't have dinner, he was forgotten by Hudson. Food can be eaten at any time, but such exciting battles are not encountered every day.

"No, the enemy is running away!"

Seeing warships constantly moving away from their original positions, Hudson immediately realized something was wrong.

It's just that the Holy See's fleet is too numerous. Even if the battle lasts for several hours, there are still many warships on the sea.

By staying where you are and fighting, you can slowly wear down your enemies and grind them to death in this sea area.

At this moment, the enemies were fleeing in all directions. Even if Hudson went down personally, it would be impossible to leave all the enemies behind.

After thinking for a while, Hudson immediately ordered: "You give the Ghost King an order not to worry about those small warships, but to keep all the enemy's capital ships first.

Bear Stearns, you are flexible enough to secretly find opportunities to help the ghosts, but remember not to reveal your identity. "

Maxim was not allowed to take action. On the one hand, he needed the dragon to protect him, and on the other hand, he was uneasy.

When it comes to sap skills, Bear Stearns is a professional, but Maxim has just started.

Once the tossing gets high, Hudson can't guarantee that his stupid dragon can control the dragon's flamboyant nature.

If you are not sure of silencing all your enemies, if your identity is exposed, you will be setting yourself up for trouble.

The kingdom can indeed withstand thunder, but the prerequisite is that it cannot draw hatred too deep.

What if he really made someone angry and the Holy See took action to seize his lair when he was leading troops?

In the previous series of conflicts, Hudson did offend the Holy See, but it was not a life-or-death feud.

The initial robbery and killing of the Holy See cavalry was an act of ignorance and the execution of orders from superiors. The kingdom directly took over the firepower, and people couldn't remember him as a little baron.

Later, the "Blood Moon Horn" was traded. Although it was suspected of being a rip-off, the evil weapon itself was worth the price.

What's more, he also used the vest of the Archmage of the Undead. I'm afraid the Holy See still doesn't know whether it was the Archmage of the Undead who made the deal, or whether he made the deal with him, the lord.

Any further conflicts will only be a battle of words. Hudson is a representative of the Alpha Kingdom, not a conflict between himself and the Holy See.

This time was different. The three main fleets of the Holy See were almost wiped out by him. Who can endure such unforgettable hatred?

All game rules are established without touching the opponent's bottom line. This time it’s not just the bottom line, it’s even the bottom line.

If the three main fleets were all destroyed here, the Holy See's maritime power would be reduced by at least 70%. Not to mention reaching out to the outside world like now, it is difficult to just maintain the safety of one's own waters.

It can be said unceremoniously that for at least the next five years, the Holy See's warships will no longer be seen in the waters of the Alpha Kingdom.

Even if they wanted to take revenge on the kingdom, they couldn't come from the sea. The remaining maritime power of the Holy See, on paper, is no longer comparable to the combined maritime power of all the kingdoms.

This is a great benefit for both Hudson and the nobles along the southeast coast.

The force that comes from the sea cannot come, and the power that comes from the land is okay to retaliate against a certain big noble family alone, but if it targets the entire kingdom, it will simply cost people their lives.

Countries along the way are not fuel-efficient lamps. If the Holy See sends too much power, it will not be able to hide it from the eyes of local snakes like them.

Even if it's not convenient for him to do it himself and give the information to the Alpha Kingdom as a favor, he can still do it.

In a sense, this battle established the kingdom's maritime strategic security for the next five to ten years.

In the blink of an eye, the Holy See fleet had dispersed. The small warship Hudson no longer cared about paying attention. He only had eyes for the enemy's capital ships.

Especially the flagship ship is the focus of attention. Bear Stearns, who got off the dragon's back, made his first stop on the flagship.

It's just that the earth bear affected by "Gou Dao" has shrunk to the size of a jiaocao at this moment, and it can't be noticed if you don't pay attention.

At this moment, the ship is full of poisonous insects, and they are not noticeable at all among them. However, this inconspicuous little guy directly knocked an eighth-level magician into the sea.

After a good start, in the ensuing battle, people continued to be killed, either their whole persons were knocked away, or their body parts were damaged.

The confusing battle left everyone on the ship confused. He only heard the wails from his companions and had no idea what was going on.

As the commander, Moses was the first to realize that something was wrong. As soon as he shouted, "There are enemies on the ship," his head suddenly flew out.

Before anyone could react, the warship began to sink rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, Bear Stearns had found the core of the magic circle and slapped it over. Not only did it destroy the magic circle, it also made a big hole in the cabin.

Then there were countless big holes. The ship without the protection of the magic circle was just a pile of solid wood. The aftermath of the battle alone could send the ship into the sea, let alone a sacred bear digging holes.

After finding out the successful experience, in order to reduce the probability of exposure, Bear Stearns stopped attacking people. Every time he sneaked into the warship, he found the core of the magic circle operation, and immediately flashed the bear after destroying it.

Even if there are strong guards, they can't stop a sacred bear who is focused on sneak attack. As soon as the blow hit, sea water poured in immediately, and it was too late to make emergency repairs.

Seeing warships sinking one after another, Hudson gradually understood what was going on. He turned to his dragon and asked: "Have you learned anything, Maxim?"

Maxim, who was focused on watching the excitement, never thought that Hudson would suddenly ask questions. He shook the faucet, and his mind was filled with a series of greetings.

"Did you learn it?"

"What do you want to learn?"

After hesitating for a while, he said with a look of disdain: "What's there to learn? Isn't it just sinking a few broken ships?

If it were me, I would do a better job than him!

Hudson, don't forget that Bear Stearns is a land creature. When I get to the sea, I can beat a bear like him twice, unlike us dragons who are kings everywhere!

If I hadn't given you face, I would have taught him how to be a bear. Dare to talk to Uncle Long every day..."

The off-topic topic forced Hudson to stop. After all, the thinking patterns of humans and dragons are different.

He wanted to keep it secret to avoid retaliation from the Holy See. But Maxim wanted the whole world to know about it so that he could show his prestige.

Fortunately, we were cautious just now. If Maxim were to take action, there is a high probability that it would be impossible to end it now.

If his identity is really exposed, he can only activate his back-up plan and lead the fleets of the major nobles along the coast to encircle and suppress the remaining Holy See fleet.

Of course, being the leader will attract the most hatred, but having a group of allies to share the hatred can also alleviate some of the pressure.

…

The weather is gradually getting brighter, the bloody water has long since dispersed, the fish and shrimp in the sea have finished carving up the last residue, and the sea surface has slowly returned to calm.

The sun shines down again, refracting on the rising waves, like flying pearls.

Only sawdust floating on the sea told the cruelty of last night's battle.

Looking along the waves, you can occasionally see survivors holding wooden boards and making their final struggle against the sea.

He did not extend a helping hand of love, nor did he add insult to injury. Without revealing his identity, Hudson chose to act as a bystander.

The ghost ship was still on its final hunt, but that was no longer his focus. After annihilating the main warships in the three major fleets of the Holy See, the remaining ones are no longer worth mentioning.

The Holy See team that penetrated deep into the foggy sea has not yet been annihilated, and this war is not yet complete.

However, this kind of thing cannot be rushed. Without a suitable fighter, Hudson would rather wait.
