Lord Harland

The Kingdom of Palame is located in the southeastern part of the Mid-Continent. This country is surrounded by the sea on both sides, and its northwest border borders the Kingdom of Sith, Kingdom of Stark, Kingdom of Rex, and the Grand Duchy of Caroline. Although the Kingdom of Pamela is not very strong in terms of national strength, it is located at the headquarters of the Church of the Dawn, and neighboring countries do not dare to intrude. It is also quite special among the countries in the eastern part of the Central Continent.

Now that he agreed to the Holy Glory Empire's request, Richard began to mobilize his troops. The first batch of troops included the First Infantry Brigade, the First Warcraft Cavalry Brigade, the First Magic Airship Brigade, the Bipedal Flying Dragon Cavalry Brigade, and the First Independent Artillery Brigade. The total strength is about five thousand people.

Entering June of the Dawn Calendar 3277, the army directly under Harland's leadership already numbered about 160,000 people, including 120,000 regular troops and 40,000 auxiliary troops.

Although the number of troops led by Harland has not increased much in the past two years, the armament has been greatly enriched. Three magic airship brigades, four independent artillery brigades, and the Navy's magic ships have also been expanded to six. Twelve steamships were built.

In just two years, more than 4,000 professional officers were added, and the combat effectiveness was significantly improved. Richard mobilized the first batch of 5,000 elites, which did not affect the defense mission of Harland's leader.

The coordinates of the plane passage are located in Auxerre Castle, which is about 200 kilometers away from Hawkins Castle, the capital of the Kingdom of Pamela. It is considered an inland area in the Kingdom of Pamela.

According to a rough estimate on the map of the Dawn Plane, the straight-line distance from Fort William is more than 3,000 kilometers. To travel overland, you need to pass through the three kingdoms of Grant, the East Coast, and the Sith. Hundreds of military stations and food storage points must be established along the way. It takes four to five months of marching to reach the destination.

The land march is not only long, but also requires coordination among the three countries along the way. What Richard is most impatient about is building relationships. Moreover, the East Coast and Sith are still hostile countries. Even if they do not dare to provoke a conflict due to the power of the Holy Glorious Empire, it is estimated that it will be difficult to purchase a large amount of food, grass and baggage from the two countries. . Therefore, taking the land route was first ruled out by Richard, and the only option was to take the sea route.

Although the Harland Territory did not develop the east coast province, it successfully established a port at the mouth of the Black River. Through the port of the Guild Castle, fresh water and food can be provided to the magic fleet.

Although the sea route takes a lot of detours, and the total distance may exceed 4,000 kilometers, 95% is waterway. According to the 360 ​​kilometers a day voyage of the Harland steamship, from Black River Fort to Hawking It takes a total of twelve days to build the castle.

After entering Hawkins Castle, we repaired for a day, and then passed the Pamela Kingdom inland military station for supplies. The total journey took about sixteen or seventeen days.

The staff department made a plan, and Haaland led this huge machine into action. After the time entered early May, the first batch of personnel began to set off.

Six magic ships protected twelve steam engines, loaded with a large amount of baggage, and slowly sailed away from Starlight Castle, following the coastline and sailing towards the south.

The first batch of advance teams totaled about 1,800 people. Powerful professionals such as Richard, Sophia, Sutton, and Sylve all moved with the ship and were distributed on different magic ships to provide protection.

Although the Harland Territory has established a navy for more than five years, it does not have much navigation experience. In the past five years, the navy has basically been operating in the Heihe and Samba river basins. It occasionally patrols the coastal areas of Harland Territory. It wanders within hundreds of kilometers of sea between the mouth of the Samba River.

Even the hydrology of the coastal areas of Harland Territory has not yet been fully understood.

This voyage to the Kingdom of Parame, although it was an offshore voyage, was also the first time for a young girl to board a sedan chair. In many places, she could only rely on captives with experience in voyages.

In this stumbling process, Harland's naval force sailed towards the southern seas and entered the waters of the United Kingdom on the east coast on the fourth day.

Seeing a strange fleet sailing into their territorial waters, the navy of the United Kingdom on the east coast planned to assemble and annihilate their opponents. Unexpectedly, they saw the flag of the Holy Radiant Empire from a distance, and they immediately retreated.

Richard's actions were endorsed by the Holy Glory Empire. Although the Holy Glory Empire was far away, it was difficult to invest too much power in this area, and the east coast did not dare to provoke the overlord of the Dawn Plane.

After the two sides communicated through flags and understood their purpose, the small magic ship of the United Kingdom on the east coast followed Harland's fleet from a distance. On the ninth day, the fleet entered the waters of the Sith Kingdom, and the surveillance ships on the east coast Only then did he choose to withdraw.

Compared to the United Kingdom on the East Coast, the Sith Kingdom has less enmity with the Harland Territory and has a closer relationship with the Holy Radiance Empire. Of course, it is impossible to attack ships flying the flag of the Holy Radiance Empire.

The Sith Kingdom's naval force did not even send out surveillance ships. By the eleventh day, Harland's fleet had sailed to the waters of the Kingdom of Palame, with only a day and a half left to sail from Hawkins Castle.

Seeing that they were about to reach their destination, everyone's tense nerves finally relaxed. Just as Richard was about to invite the officers for a drink, he suddenly heard the sentry on the watchtower blowing the horn and beating the golden drum violently.

After hearing the warning, Richard immediately ran to the deck and looked up, and saw a jet of water suddenly spurting out a few hundred meters away. The water column was twenty or thirty meters high, and Richard vaguely seemed to see a whale-like creature.

This creature is larger than the whales seen in the video data of Richard's previous life, and the power of magic can be vaguely felt on their bodies. Before Richard could speak, Blanca, the captain of the magic ship, spoke decisively.

"Be careful, there is a deep sea monster ahead, everyone is ready to fight."

Less than half a day after entering the waters of the Kingdom of Palame, Harland's navy encountered a terrifying deep-sea beast.

The behemoths of the deep sea are unique legendary creatures in the ocean. There are many different races. The abilities of these behemoths of the deep sea are different. The most powerful ones are even as powerful as demigod masters. The weaker ones are no less lethal than the legendary monsters.

As long as they are called deep sea monsters, they are basically terrifying creatures of legendary level.

Seeing this whale-like magical creature rushing over, Richard roared: "Get ready to fight!"

Richard had a high prestige among the troops led by Harland. Although everyone was a little weak on the magic ship and was not very suitable for sea battles, hearing Richard's familiar voice, the officers quickly organized and began to prepare for the battle.

The strength of Harland's navy is not weak. There are six magic ships in the fleet, and each magic ship has strong protection.

The flagship Victory is also a large legendary magic ship with extremely abundant magic power. Just this magic ship is capable of fighting against the giant beasts of the deep sea.

Although the twelve steam engine ships have weak underwater defenses, they are also equipped with six magic crystal cannons, which are very lethal.

Moreover, there are more than 1,800 soldiers in the fleet. This army is an all-professional army, including not only the bipedal flying dragon brigade, but also Richard, a great master who is similar to the legendary magician.

When the deep-sea behemoth rushed over, the soldiers fired spearguns and aimed at the deep-sea behemoth. Four steamships also released giant fishing nets, trying to catch the deep-sea beasts.

The magic crystal cannon installed on the side of the ship is mainly used against opponents on the water. Facing the deep-sea monsters underwater, the magic crystal cannon is difficult to hit and is almost useless.

Although the magic crystal cannon cannot play a very good role, the Harland leader has alchemy bombs. Technicians from the Weapons Research Institute have successfully created mines and depth bombs based on alchemy bombs, which can threaten underwater creatures to a certain extent.

Whoosh whoosh!

Continuous harpoon firing sounds sounded, and a large number of harpoon guns shot out of the water, hitting the deep sea monster. The head of the speargun is equipped with sharp barbs, which will leave terrible wounds immediately after hitting the deep sea monster.

When the deep-sea monsters saw the densely packed spearguns, they immediately dived into the depths of the ocean. In an instant, countless ropes were stretched straight, and many soldiers could no longer hold the spearguns in their hands.

This group of soldiers are almost all professionals, and their weakest strength is about several times that of ordinary people. Several captain officers have a strength of more than 20 points. Sutton and Sylph are two legends, and their full power is more than 50%. Around ten o'clock.

Everyone took action at the same time, and in an instant they caught the giant beast from the deep sea. At the same time, two steam engine ships also came quickly, using large trawl nets to entangle the deep-sea monsters.

Seeing that it was impossible to dive, the deep sea beast suddenly launched a series of infrasonic attacks. These were clearly infrasonic attacks from his bloodline spell. In an instant, the soldiers on the ship felt their ears were congested and had a splitting headache. The soldier raised his shield and released the force field protection spell on the shield.

Infrasonic attack is a large-scale control magic, which is extremely lethal to ordinary soldiers. Even the professional soldiers of the Holy Radiance Empire have no choice but to find a way to escape the spell's killing radius, or rely on high-level professionals to use the power of the spell to provide shelter. Only a magician can easily block this attack.

But Richard discovered the magic energy conversion formula and created magic energy conversion equipment, which allows warrior professionals to activate fighting spirit and use spells to a certain extent through special weapons and equipment.

The force field shield is a classic piece of equipment that almost everyone in Harland's professional soldiers has.

The force field protection spell can release a protective force field barrier, which can effectively resist the intrusion of energy spells. Infrasonic attack is also a kind of energy spell, and the force field shield can weaken this spell to a great extent.

The officers and soldiers on the ship reacted quickly and used force field shields to block the infrasonic attack. Before the deep-sea behemoth could release its second bloodline spell, powerful professions such as Richard, Sutton, Sylph, and Sophia Those who have taken action have already taken action.

Richard held the thunder staff and immediately released a chain of lightning spells. Six or seven lightning bolts released dazzling brilliance, penetrating underwater in the blink of an eye and hitting the huge body of the deep sea beast.

Richard's mental power has already exceeded sixty points. The lethality of the lightning spells doubled. Coupled with the blessing of the lightning staff, each six-ring magic released consumes only one-eighth of the normal magic, and the destructive power is higher than normal. The nine-ring magic is far beyond that, even though the deep sea beast has rough skin and thick flesh, and was attacked by four consecutive lightning bolts, and its vitality was reduced by about one-fifth.

With the strength of Richard's magic power, if he continues to fight, the deep-sea monster will not be able to withstand it at all.

Richard used magic to attack, while Sophia cooperated with Richard's battle. She released the seven-ring magic large-scale freezing technique, turning a large amount of seawater into ice cubes, hoping to control the scope of activity of the deep sea monster.

The magicians from the Harland Leader Mage Association also released the three-ring magic freezing technique at this time to help Sophia control the deep sea monster. Low-level magicians also began to release ice knives and ice cones to consume the deep sea beasts.

Sutton, Silver, mother and son jumped into the water and dived into the deep sea to fight this legendary creature up close.

Seeing that his situation had become dangerous, the giant beast of the deep sea screamed loudly and began to summon nearby magical creatures.

The behemoth of the deep sea is the natural lord of the son of the ocean. The bloodline spell can summon magical creatures within hundreds of kilometers nearby. In just ten minutes, a large number of manta rays appeared near the fleet.

Manta rays, like snow crystal fish, are magical creatures that live in groups. This kind of fish is not scary alone. An ordinary apprentice can find a way to kill it, but when thousands of manta rays rush up, large magic ships will be killed. Can't stand it.

Manta rays are bloodthirsty creatures and lack intelligence. They will become crazy when they see blood. With this obvious weakness, it is easier for intelligent creatures to deal with it than snow crystal fish as long as they are well prepared in advance.

Seeing swarms of manta rays appearing, a magic ship immediately lures the enemy deep into the water and lures away a large number of manta rays by pouring blood. At the same time, the magic ship started the magic crystal furnace, began to consume the magic crystals, and released protective barrier spells. In the blink of an eye, a large protective shield was released on the magic ship, covering the ship from top to bottom.

Seeing that the summoned manta fish was lured away by the enemy and hooked by hundreds of spearguns, every move caused severe pain. He released two bloodline spells in succession, but they could not break the deadlock. At this moment, a strong fear mark Entered the mind of the deep sea beast.

This terrifying legendary marine creature will be the natural overlord of the ocean as long as it successfully grows to adulthood. Different from ordinary magical creatures, the deep sea monsters have a very high IQ, no less than any other intelligent creature.

Realizing that the situation was unfavorable, the deep-sea monster suddenly felt regretful. It was just about to release the third bloodline spell and cut off the leather rope attached to the speargun to escape. Sylph and Sutton had already dived underwater and arrived at the deep-sea monster. back.

Sylph and Sutton are both legends. Although they cannot use underwater breathing techniques and cannot walk easily underwater, after being promoted to legends, their physical fitness is like superhuman beings, and their strength is almost fifty times that of ordinary people. About 20 times more agile than ordinary people. Relying on their strong physical fitness and inhuman lung capacity, the two of them could hold their breath underwater for two or three hours and engage in extremely intense battles.

Sutton and Silver drew their swords one after another, and soon left a big gap in the deep sea beast.

The deep sea beast wanted to turn around and attack Sutton and Sylph, but they easily dodged it. Even though it released the magic of controlling the water element, it released hundreds of ice knives and cut the leather rope on the spear gun. , got rid of the control, and still could not avoid the attacks of the two legendary professionals.

If the only enemies are Sutton and Sylph, the deep-sea behemoths have the advantage of the geographical location and have the strength to defeat their opponents. However, behind Sylve and Sutton, there are two powerful magicians, Richard and Sophia, controlling them. Fighting, and behind Richard and Sophia, there were hundreds of magicians, more than a thousand professional soldiers, and an entire fleet.

The powerful bipedal flying dragon knight has not yet played its role, and the deep sea beast is at the end of its rope.

From the beginning of the rash attack by the behemoth of the deep sea, the outcome has been determined.

This reckless and proud legendary creature soon died in the hands of Harland's army, once again fulfilling the fame of Harland's army and increasing Richard's legend.
