Start with Island Lord

Xar County.

Maple Leaf Square in Xialin City.

Under the protection of the guards and with the help of several senior mages, Earl Robert was giving a loud speech to the tens of thousands of Xialin City residents gathered in the square.

"Ladies and gentlemen of Xialin City, I know you have suffered huge property losses, and many people's life savings have gone down the drain."

"But I want to say that after the bankruptcy of Dawn Bank, no one can escape, and Xialin City's finances have also suffered a heavy blow!"

At this point, Earl Robert waved a thick stack of Dawn Bank deposits, making a 'clattering~' sound.

"Here, there are a full 200,000 Oggs!"

"I originally planned to build a high-level magic research institute to provide employment opportunities for more mages, but now they are all waste paper!"

The more the earl spoke, the more heartbroken he became. His emotions rose and his voice became louder and louder:

"All this is the fault of the Duke of Dawn!"

Just as he was about to give a passionate speech, his attendant Asan suddenly came to his side and reported in a low voice:

"Master, news just came from the White Sturgeon Island that they plan to set up a new bank, and the new bank will recognize all the Dawn deposit certificates."

Earl Robert was shocked, and then he was ecstatic, but soon he was confused again: "Does the White Sturgeon Island have so much money?"

"This is not a small amount."

"The White Sturgeon Island said that they plan to confiscate all the money of the Earl of the Southern County to pay for this loss."

The Earl's eyes widened when he heard it: "Confiscate? But the war hasn't started yet."

Although the war can definitely be won with the current situation in the South, the Earl of the South still has many private soldiers, and if he really fights, he will definitely suffer heavy losses. The best way is to surrender with appeasement.

If they forcefully confiscate it, won't the other party fight back?

Asang also had doubts on his face: "White Sturgeon Island said that you should look up at the sky."

"The sky?"

The Count was puzzled.

"It is said that the Baron has created a very, very powerful flying magic weapon."

The Count was even more puzzled, and Asang was also confused.

Flying magic weapons can be understood, but what they look like cannot be imagined.

"Is it a flapping wing or a flying blanket?" the Count asked.

Asang shrugged: "Master, you are asking a blind man for directions."

Just when the master and servant were shrouded in a cloud of doubt, a 'buzzing~~' sound suddenly came from the eastern horizon.

It was a little like thunder, but if you listen carefully, you will find that it is a sound that has never been heard before.

No one noticed it at first, but gradually, everyone in the square noticed it.

The people who came to listen to the speech were all people who suffered direct losses in this bankruptcy incident. They were people from the middle and upper classes of society and were quite knowledgeable.

People were puzzled and followed the sound to check.

"What's going on?"

"I saw it. There are two black spots in the sky over there. They look like birds."

"How can a flying bird make such a big noise?"

"How can there be such a bird?"

"It's flying towards us!"

The count also saw it.

In the eastern sky, at an altitude of about 200 meters, two things similar to triangles flew side by side, one on the left and one on the right.

When I looked from a distance, it was just a small dot, but when I flew to today, I found that it was actually quite huge.

The length is unclear, but the width is close to 20 meters. It clearly has a strange and dazzling silver-white metallic luster, and the lines are very smooth and precise, just like a piece of steel that is integrated!

How can such a huge piece of steel weigh 20 to 30 tons? How can it fly?

This seriously violates common sense!

Now, such a huge steel creation is flying at an altitude of more than 200 meters, and it makes a strange and huge roar. The pressure it exerts on the people on the ground is so great that it is like a god descending to the earth!

Many people can't help but wonder, this is not the body of God?

A group of people even started praying directly to the sky.

"God, please have mercy on the world and don't punish us!"

The Earl also stepped back subconsciously, and the battle master Asan couldn't help but touch the weapon on his waist, and his face turned pale.

Most of the audience in the square also stepped back and scattered.

From a high place, it was as if an invisible giant hand was brushing over the ants on the ground.

At this moment, the flying steel giant came with a magnificent voice from the sky.

"Residents of Xialin City, we are the sky vanguard of the White Sturgeon Island!"

"We will go to the south to show the magic power of the White Sturgeon Island Baron~~"

This voice answered the confusion of the people on the ground, but it made everyone feel more shocked.

"It's actually a magic creation?!"

"Oh~ Mother Nature, such a big thing can actually fly into the sky and fly so steadily?"

"It flies so fast! I've never seen anything so fast!"

"It's rising~ rising~~"

Two flying magic tools that looked like steel creations began to accelerate, rise into the air, and circle back and forth in the sky at an incredible speed.

As the speed increased, the sound of the airflow began to become very violent, like thunder rolling in the sky.

What's more terrifying is that the giant actually showed extremely high and delicate flying skills in the sky.

Rolling, rotating, diving at a large angle and pulling up, and every time this happened, the air would burst into a thunderous roar.

The Weilan people, who still use animal power as the main power source and Black Stone warships are rare goods, have never seen such advanced things?

Everyone was stunned. Except for the two black figures whose eyes subconsciously followed the sky, everyone raised their heads and opened their mouths wide, unable to even speak.

It wasn't until the black shadow turned into two black spots high in the sky and gradually faded away that the silence of the square was broken with a bang!

There is no shortage of mages in the square, and they all understand the basic principles of magic, but these two flying creations have completely subverted their common sense of magic.

"How did such a large piece of steel fly?!"

"Even if I can fly, I won't be able to fly very far. I don't have enough magic power at all!"

"No, why can it fly so high? So fast!"

"Is this the power of the Baron's magic?"

"I heard that there is a huge ring of truth on Paddlefish Island, which can lift dozens of tons of clear water into the sky with pure force. Is this a creation of pure force?"

"Oh~ the Baron's wisdom is as bottomless as the ocean!"

"This is the mage's creation. What does it have to do with the Baron?"

"Why doesn't it matter?! There are mages everywhere, but how come we haven't seen them being built by Weilan, Aaron, or Kaa, but only Paddlefish Island can build them?"

Podium.

Count Robert was also deeply shocked.

After the two flying magic weapons completely left, he finally recovered a little.

He patted the bank deposit slip in his hand, pretending to be relaxed and said: "Let us pray for the southern earls~"

He looks relaxed on the surface, but his heart is unusually heavy.

With such a miraculous magical creation on Paddlefish Island, the fate of the Earl of the South is naturally as tragic as a candle in the wind.

But the fate of the Earl of the North, who is also an Earl, depends entirely on the kindness of the Baron of Paddlefish Island.

Swallowing secretly, Earl Robert once again had a trace of luck in his heart: "Fortunately, my sister is the baron's mentor."

But this time, he felt that relying on this relationship was a bit unsafe.

After all, the Baron has graduated and he no longer needs his mentor's knowledge.

Then, a thought jumped into his mind: 'It's not easy for my sister to be alone for so many years. She is still so young, she can't be a widow for the rest of her life, right? ’

'I've always heard that the baron has a magic gun and his sister is his lover. She will definitely be happier than most women, not as good as...'

Just as Earl Robert was thinking about some ridiculous thoughts, two Growlers came to Red Plains County in the south of Shire County.

Earl Lawrence of Hongyuan County is a die-hard mainlander, and the south of Hongyuan County is Liming County where Dawn City is located.

Because it was close to Dawn County, Earl Lawrence directly sent out his troops, ransacked three Dawn Bank branches, and grabbed countless gold and silver coins.

He transported all the gold and silver back to his castle and began to recruit troops like crazy.

For no other reason than to protect themselves in the coming troubled times.

In the leisure time of the afternoon, when Earl Lawrence was patrolling the castle grounds, a strange "buzzing" sound suddenly came from the sky.

Just when the count felt strange, someone discovered that two strange triangular creatures appeared in the sky.

"There's something in the sky!"

The training warriors all looked up, and so did the count.

Everyone saw that the strange creation in the sky was constantly hovering in the sky. It was impossible to estimate how high it was, but it must be very high.

Just when everyone was confused, a majestic voice descended from the sky.

"We are the sky vanguard of Baron Paddlefish Island!"

"The Baron announced that the Lawrence family has rebelled for Weilan! The Lawrence family and any warriors who follow the Lawrence family will be completely wiped out!"

Earl Lawrence was originally surprised. When he heard this terrible sound, he felt his heart pounding and almost jumped out of his throat on the spot.

he shouted immediately.

"Shoot an arrow~~shoot an arrow at it~shoot it down~"

"Where's the new flame gun? Take it out and use it quickly!"

"Where's the mage?! Battle mage, hurry up and cast it down!"

For a time, the troops on the ground attacked the flying objects in the sky.

But the two flying objects were so high that all attacks from the ground could not reach them.

"Battle Mage, catch up and fight!"

shouted the count.

But at this moment, the voice from the sky sounded again: "Try the power of the Baron's magic~"

Before everyone on the ground could recover, a majestic spiritual power sank from the sky.

This force fell from the sky like a torrent hundreds of meters thick, violently washing away the troops on the ground.

It is the zero-ring psychic spell "Deterrence Halo".

The ring number is not high, but the scale of the spell is surprisingly large.

It was as if nearly a thousand magic masters poured all their mana into it and cast spells on the ground together.

It’s so powerful that it’s simply incomprehensible!

The warriors who were struggling to attack the sky just a moment ago suddenly screamed uncontrollably like girls. Some of the weak and timid warriors even started to run away with their heads in their hands.

The battle mage who had just taken off and wanted to catch up fell directly from the sky. His bones and tendons were broken at worst, and he was killed on the spot at worst!

This is because there are enough warriors in the school field, more than 5,000 people, to greatly share the effects of the spell.

If there were only a few hundred people, they would be stunned right now.

The count bore the brunt of the attack.

He was only an intermediate warrior, how could he withstand such a blow.

He held his head and squatted on the ground, screaming at the top of his voice, just wanting to find a gap to get in and hide.

Immediately afterwards, one of the planes made a dive towards the school field.

With this action, at least 500 soldiers in the direction pointed by the nose of the machine were shocked, and then fell to the ground limply, their lives or deaths unknown.

The soldiers' minds were already seriously affected by the deterrent aura, and now they saw such a horrible scene with their own eyes, and they thought that all 500 people were killed!

In fact, no matter how large the scale of zero-ring spells is, it can't kill people directly, nor will it leave serious sequelae, just like no amount of cold water can cook a duck.

In addition, the power of mental weapons also has an upper limit, and the upper limit is determined by the control limit of the stimulating mage.

If the control limit is exceeded, it is easy to cause indiscriminate killing of enemies and friends.

But the key is that this thing appeared on the battlefield for the first time, and no one knew the trick!

"Ah~~~~"

The whole parade ground was instantly filled with women's screams, and at least 30% of the soldiers had incontinence on the spot.

At this moment, on the parade ground with 5,000 or 6,000 people, only soldiers above the advanced level could barely stand, and this group of people accounted for less than one-tenth of the total.

Even if they were standing, they had no fighting spirit, and all looked at the flying creatures in the sky with an extremely awed look.

It was as if mortals looked at the gods in the sky.

The magnificent voice of the sky descended from the sky again.

"The Lawrence family must be eliminated, and the wealth plundered by the Lawrence family will be collected by the "Welan Citizen Bank"."

"The Baron's army is about to go south, and the end of the vampire count is just around the corner!"

In the voice of the sky, the two terrible flying creatures flew higher and higher, and finally disappeared in the sky.

Look at the parade ground again.

After all, the deterrent halo is only a zero-ring spell, and the direct effect of the spell quickly dissipated.

But the huge mental shock of the arrival of the terrifying flying creature was deeply engraved in the soul of every warrior.

When the warriors stood up again, their eyes involuntarily turned to Count Lawrence.

In the past, this look was awe and obedience.

Now, there is an inexplicable meaning in the look, a kind of indifference looking at a corpse.

Earl Lawrence felt his pores exploded and couldn't help but roar.

"What are you doing? What do you want to do?!"

"Guards~~Guards~~Protect me! Protect me!"

Earl Lawrence responded with deathly silence.

Baron of Sturgeon Island controlled the miraculous Sky Army, which was naturally unstoppable.

Since Baron of Sturgeon Island said that he wanted the Lawrence family and their followers to die, the warriors had no choice but to stop following the Lawrence family in order to survive.

In the silence, someone shouted.

"What Baron? It's obviously the Duke! It's the Duke of Weilan!"

"Yes, yes, it's the Duke of Weilan!"

"We are all citizens of Weilan, and citizens of Weilan should listen to the Duke of Weilan!"

"Since the Duke wants the Earl to die! Then the Earl must die!"

The fire buried in Hongyuan County was ignited.

The roarer continued to move forward, moving along the Weilan coastline.

From east to west, they passed through Dawn County, Orlan County, White Lake County, Volcano County, Green County, and then turned a corner and passed through the remaining nine county towns, and finally returned to the White Sturgeon Island.

Every time they arrived at a county town, they ignited the local fire.

Except for the Adrian family where the princess was, the other 14 southern earls were all publicly declared as traitors.

But that's not all!

The Island Intelligence Bureau also has a list, which records the names of all the great nobles in the south.

Anyone who has private soldiers, such as the Shahram family in Dawn City, is also set as an unforgivable traitor.

When they returned to the White Sturgeon Island, Neferoniya asked through the group voice of the heart:

"Rosen, are you going to kill all the big families in the south?"

Rosen nodded calmly: "Yes."

"Will it be too cruel?"

The one who asked the question was Laltris in the back seat. She now felt that the human lord in the front seat was very cold and ruthless.

She thought this was the essence of Rosen, and she felt a little scared.

Rosen could naturally understand her emotions, raised his hand and squeezed her palm, and also answered with the voice of the group mind.

His tone was calm, but with a hint of oppression.

"The average annual income of the great nobles in the south is more than 1 million Ogg."

"But in such a wealthy south, about 90,000 people starve to death every year, and millions of people are hungry."

"Now, do you still think I'm cruel?"

Laertris was shocked: "How could this happen?! What do they want so much money for?"

The status of the banshee sisters in the sea is quite equal. The banshees collect pearls and various gold for the queen, which are all hobbies used to show respect for the queen.

Although the banshees have seen the obvious class differentiation among the human race after arriving at the White Sturgeon Island, the situation on the White Sturgeon Island is still acceptable.

Unexpectedly, there would be such a terrible vampire on the giant island of Weilan.

Ninety thousand people starved to death a year, which is nearly three times the number of banshees in her and her mother's tribes combined.

This is terrible.

"It should be to show off, to squander, to please their masters in Aaron, right?"

The answer was from the goddess Melchilina.

Rosen nodded: "Lina is right."

"These lords would rather pile up food in the warehouse and let it rot than give it to the hungry people. They would rather spend 2,000 Oggs to buy a pearl necklace than spend a few krens to help a dying civilian."

"So, I think they are not living people, but demons."

"Oh~ they are indeed demons." Laertes looked angry.

"Then it's too late for them to die." Neferoniya said.
