Start with Island Lord

Storm First Fleet.

Marshal Tewood Adrian, a senior warrior, a member of the Adrian family, the cousin of the current Duke, and the supreme commander of the counter-rebellion fleet.

He was once very leisurely before the strange battleship appeared.

There are 20 ships in the fleet, and the fleet carries a total force of 6,500 people!

He believed that with the military power he now had, he could easily cross the ocean blockade of Paddlefish Island, then forcefully land on Paddlefish Island and snatch back all the gold coins that the hateful little baron had plundered with pearls.

By the way, take the young baron back to Dawn City and judge him in public.

It could be life imprisonment, it could be public beheading.

Anyway, the young baron was finished in this life, and his wife, his niece, became a widow.

Her fate will definitely be very tragic after that.

However, the moment the strange battleship appeared, he felt something was wrong.

He may not have any outstanding talents, but he is a qualified combat commander and his knowledge is not bad.

He recognized it at a glance as the Blackstone battleship that the navies of various countries were frantically developing.

‘What the hell, why is there a Blackstone Battleship? ’

I was a little shocked, but after all, it was my first time encountering a Blackstone battleship, and I didn't know much about its combat power.

‘Fortunately, there are not many of them, so we should be able to deal with them. ’

With this in mind, Tewood quickly issued a battle order.

"The fleet disperses and enters a state of combat!"

"Prepare the explosive crossbow. Once the opponent comes into range, attack immediately!"

"A group of battle mages are in place to establish a joint psychic array and prepare to curse the opponent's fleet commander to death!"

"The second group of battle mages summons strong winds and rushes towards the opponent at full speed."

Under strong winds, it can temporarily increase the speed of the battleship to 13 knots, and partially overcome the disadvantages of sailing battleships relying on sea breeze.

"The three groups of battle mages raised a giant pure water barrier and raised the ship's defense to the maximum!"

A series of orders were issued in an orderly manner, meticulously following the naval combat drills of the Dawn Naval Academy, and they were almost impeccable.

However, the maximum attack distance of all powerful attacks in the fleet does not exceed 800 meters.

Even if the battle mage's psychic spell is to be powerful enough to penetrate the opponent's psychic defense, it must first search for the target's location, and the search distance does not exceed 1,000 meters.

In other words, in a maritime battle with a traditional sail warship, the furthest distance from the enemy is 1,000 meters.

But when the distance between the two sides reached 2,000 meters, the light blue warships lined up in the sea ahead began to attack.

I saw that the bow of the strange warship was flashing with fire, and bursts of white smoke were rising.

Just when Tewood was confused, he heard an unprecedented whistling sound in the air, and then he saw a scene that he would never forget for the rest of his life.

A ball of violent flames suddenly burst out from the side of a 500-ton wave battleship at the head of the battle.

The flames were like the fist of the legendary Flame Titan. Not only did it push the hull of the ship half a meter laterally, it also directly punched a three- to four-meter hole in the hull!

The dark blue pure water barrier and the solid iron-clad armor did not have any protective effect!

This is just the beginning of the nightmare!

"Boom~Boom~~Boom~~~"

A thunderous sound came from the distant sea, and deafening roars continued to appear on the sea where the Storm Fleet was located.

Water columns tens of meters high splashed on the sea, violent flames raged on the wooden warships, and the terrifying sound was deafening, making it almost impossible to cast spells!

Piercing screams, splattered flesh and blood corpses, and scattered burning debris filled the entire Storm Fleet in an instant.

This scene is like the end of the world!

Tewood was stunned.

A high-speed battleship he has never seen before~a terrifying attack he has never seen~left him helpless!

In the violently shaking vision, he saw those strange battleships approaching quickly in front of him and began to turn sideways collectively.

During this process, Twowood discovered that the opponent's ship was moving at an incredible speed, reaching an incredible level. It was like a giant sword gliding across the sea, cutting a wide gap into the sea.

As soon as he saw this speed, Twowood knew there was no way his ship could catch up.

At the same time, he also didn't understand the meaning of the other party's move.

"What are they doing? Is it because there is only one wave of attacks and then they leave?"

Although this wave of attacks was very violent, it was not enough to cause a devastating blow to the fleet.

Just when Thewood hoped so, the battleship in front had completely crossed the hull, and fire and white smoke began to emit from the side of the hull.

At this moment, Twowood finally understood the reason.

He was so frightened that he issued an order with completely unpredictable effects based on his past combat experience.

"Disperse~~disperse~~~ rush forward at full speed~~ rush forward~~ rush to Paddlefish Island!"

The opponent's ship is so fast, attacks from such a distance, and it doesn't rely on sails. It can go wherever it wants.

There is no way to fight it at sea.

The only way to survive is to rush to Paddlefish Island and fight a landing battle!

Immediately afterwards, Twowood issued a second order with unknown results.

"Battle Mage, take off~~ Everyone take off and rush to the opposite ship!"

This order is almost asking people to die, because the battleship on the opposite side will definitely not allow people to board easily.

But this is currently the only way to reach the opponent.

Otherwise, you can only passively take the beating!

There are 6,500 fighters in the fleet, including more than 1,500 battle mages, and the opponent has only five ships, which will definitely cause considerable interference to the opponent.

But because the situation was very chaotic and the order was not conveyed in place, they took off sparsely.

In the end, less than 500 mages flew up.

There were a few unlucky battle mages who were hit as soon as they took off, and the whole person disappeared directly in the air. The defensive magic weapons they carried were almost the same as nothing!

The number of unlucky people was not large, but it caused a terrible morale blow!

The opponent's attack was so fierce that it seemed like a divine punishment!

Such a tragic and desperate battle, let alone the fighters in it, even the spectators watching the battle from a distance were all cold.

Sir Maxim stood on the watchtower, listening to the thunderous roars, looking at the dense rising water columns, the iron-clad warships that were easily torn apart by the flames like paper boats, and the sails that were quickly devoured by the flames. He felt a chill on his forehead, his legs were weak, and his heart was pounding, as if he saw hell coming to the world with his own eyes.

‘Is this the combat effect of the Blackstone warship with the thunder magic weapon? ’

‘It’s so terrible~~ It’s so terrible~~’

At this moment, more than 300 battle mages crossed several kilometers of sea and flew near the Blackstone warship.

Maxim immediately worried about the Blackstone warship: ‘Don’t let these battle mages get on board! ’

If they get on board and fight on the deck, the Blackstone warship will definitely suffer heavy losses.

Tewold had also been paying attention to the situation of the battle mage. Seeing that the enemy was approaching the enemy ship by more than 400 meters, he was suddenly delighted.

"It's not bad~~ There's still a fight!"

But the next moment, something unexpected happened.

On the deck of the Blackstone warship, dense lightning flashed!

The lightning flashed back and forth in the air like the whip of the God of Lightning.

Because the battle mage was using the flying spell, his ability to cast spells was greatly limited. Facing such a dense attack, he could not make any effective response at all.

So, wherever the whip hit, the battle mage fell down like a swift with broken wings.

The whip was so dense that it almost formed a lightning net, leaving no room for dodging!

In less than half a minute, the battle mage could no longer be seen in the sky.

The order issued by Tewold in a hurry was equivalent to asking these battle mages to line up and commit suicide!

At this moment, Tewold felt like falling into an ice cave.

At this moment, Maxim, who was watching the battle, was shaking with fear.

At this moment, all the people who came to watch the battle were also stunned.

Before the battle, no one understood why a small white sturgeon island dared to stroke the Duke's beard, but now, every spectator understood it.

Although the white sturgeon island is small, it has the world's first-class warships!

Five warships are five sea beasts!

In comparison, the storm fleet that seemed very scary in the past is as weak as a sheep.

"Boom~~~Boom~~~Boom~~~"

Amid the dense roar, five high-speed warships actually circled around the storm warship on the sea.

Relying on their high-speed advantage, they bit the flesh and blood of the storm fleet one bite after another.

The behemoth could only be bitten and bled continuously, but because of its slow movements, it had no room for counterattack.

Soon, a 1,200-ton storm warship was sunk.

It was hit by more than a dozen fierce "Flame Fists" in succession, its keel was directly broken, its mast was broken, and it slowly sank into the sea in the blazing flames.

The remaining two storm warships were also hit hard, and it was only a matter of time before they were sunk.

When the storm fleet passed through the heavy artillery interception and rushed to the point where it was five kilometers away from the Sturgeon Island, the fleet of 20 ships was reduced to less than five ships.

Originally the fastest warship in this era, it was as slow as a turtle when facing the last few kilometers of the voyage.

At this time, the five terrible warships suddenly stopped fighting and turned around to withdraw.

Perhaps it was the favor of Mother Nature, the fleet's highest commander, Sir Tewwood, was still alive.

He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and almost had the urge to cry.

"Charge forward~~Keep charging forward~~~Charge to the island!"

There are still five warships and more than 1,000 soldiers alive. As long as they land on the island, they still have the strength to fight!

However, the fleet had just rushed out less than a hundred meters when they saw flames coming out of the high cliffs on the seashore of the White Sturgeon Island. Immediately afterwards, the "Fist of Flame" that was more dense and more accurate than the warships fell from the sky.

The storm warship that rushed to the front was hammered into pieces in the blink of an eye, and almost none of the hundreds of soldiers on the ship survived.

On the high cliffs of the coast, there were also terrifying thunder and flames!

And it was much more accurate than before, and the power was obviously much greater!

Sir Tewwood was completely desperate, looking at the remaining four broken warships and the distraught expressions of the soldiers around him.

His fighting spirit completely collapsed.

"Surrender~~ Surrender immediately~~"

"Quick, throw the sun ball into the sky~~ Tell the baron~ We admit defeat!"

"Hurry up~ Throw it~"

If you don't admit defeat, the whole army will be wiped out!

'Puff puff puff~~'

The remaining battle mages immediately shot dazzling sun balls into the sky, forming a vertical ellipse pattern in the sky.

In the naval battles of this world, the vertical ellipse means "surrender".

It means "I am a woman, you are a man. I am lying down, do whatever you want".

However, the shore attacked again.

Tewdt was terrified.

"You don't accept surrender?"

"Selena~ Are you going to kill your cousin?!"

"Boom boom boom~~~"

The thunder exploded about 100 meters away from the side of the fleet, and it exploded ten times in a row. The explosion point was very concentrated and less than 100 meters away from the flagship.

It was obviously deliberately missed.

Immediately afterwards, a sun ball also appeared on the high cliff by the sea, but it was a long strip of sun ball, which meant "accept surrender, unload weapons, and slowly approach the shore".

Tewold let out a long breath and issued an order weakly: "Throw away your weapons, take off your armor, and go ashore."

Faced with brand new weapons, brand new warships, and brand new tactics, all the decisions he made were to let his soldiers die.

If the opponent was another kingdom or principality, he would probably choose to die in battle, but the opponent was his niece, so he naturally didn't want to sacrifice his life in vain.

So, there was only surrender.

As the surrender mark was played, Sir Maxim, the captain of the Eagle-beaked cargo ship behind, slowly fell back to the deck from the observation tower.

As soon as he arrived on the deck, he saw faces full of fear and shock.

Obviously, everyone was deeply shocked by the massacre at sea.

And anyone with a little common sense in naval warfare knew that even if Levender's golden giant ship came, its performance would definitely not be much better than that of the Storm Fleet.

It was nothing more than a few more hits and a few more deaths.

If you want to fight back, forget it.

Maxim walked back to his cabin with heavy steps, and his loyal guard Ade followed him in silence.

The master and servant looked at each other in silence, and the dead silence lasted for a long time in the cabin.

"Master, this baron is so scary!"

The rumbling thunder still echoed in Ade's ears, and the flowing flames were still splashed in his eyes.

He was a battle master, but there was definitely no shortage of battle masters in the Storm Fleet, and these battle masters were slaughtered like dogs.

They didn't even have a chance to fight, they died inexplicably, and their bodies might not even be found.

The martial arts that he was proud of lost their meaning, and Ade's worldview was about to collapse.

Maxim nodded gently: "Thank goodness, thank goodness he is now just a little baron, not a duke or a king."

"Thank goodness that our Levender is far enough away and has enough time to react, and the one who should be really worried now should be King Danger."

"Master, do you think the Lion Fleet will go north?"

Maxim shook his head: "I don't know, Ade, I just see more than you, but I don't know everything."

"The only thing I know is that we have to be more humble and treat the baron. Oh no, maybe in the near future, he should be called a duke."

Ade was stunned: "Why not the princess as the duke?"

Maxim turned his head and looked at his loyal servant, and smiled disappointedly.

"Ade, remember, this world has gradually begun to belong to the real strong, not the noble blood."

"Obviously, the baron of the white sturgeon island is the real strong."

"But he is just an intermediate mage"

Ade's voice became lower and lower, obviously, he also felt that his words were not convincing.

In this world, it is difficult for the weak to pretend to be strong, but for the strong to pretend to be weak, it is just a matter of whether they want to or not.

If someone really believes that the baron who created so many miracles is a mid-level wizard, then his brain is probably no different from stone.

Maxim whispered: "I feel that he is at least a sage!"

In today's world, sages are the ticket to participate in the world competition.
