Start with Island Lord

"Hmm~ My news is not very accurate, it's just some vague private reports~ Yeah!"

In the underground chamber of Crescent Castle, the noble Queen Nana was pressed against the smooth wall by a wild force.

In order to maintain her balance, she had to push herself backwards.

Rosen valued the information she provided.

"The abnormally huge water waves on the sea caused the passing ships to sway uncontrollably, as if there were giant beasts swimming at high speed on the sea. This is really interesting."

The queen nodded: "But the strange thing is that apart from the water waves, no abnormality was found, and no foreign objects were seen on the sea."

"Oh~ be gentle~"

Rosen immediately relaxed his strength and thought carefully about the queen's words.

"Is it a wave going from east to west?"

"Not sure, but judging from the chronological order of the abnormal waves, they should have come from the east."

She raised her head and took a deep breath, then said, "Do you think this is Levend's fleet?"

"It's possible. Have you sent someone to investigate?"

"I investigated, but my people did not find any abnormal water waves. The detection mages on the coast and the folk mages on the freighter also did not detect any abnormal mana."

"What about pure water divination?"

"Nothing unusual was found."

Rosen was lost in thought, which made the queen complain again: "Don't use such force, I can't bear it."

This brought him back to his senses: "I feel that it may be a fleet equipped with a powerful concealment circle coming from the direction of Levend."

"Levender's golden fleet?"

"I don't know, it's possible, but Levander shouldn't have such a powerful and long-lasting concealment circle, right?"

The queen nodded: "Probably not. Kaa's shadow agents stationed in Levend did not find any relevant findings. It seems more like the method of the Glorious Empire."

The three kingdoms of the Natural Alliance have always been enemies, and they are always wary of each other. They have sent a large number of spies to each other, and they have a rough grasp of each other's capabilities.

After a pause, the queen said: "The mages of the Radiant Empire are best at manipulating light and shadow. They can achieve near-perfect invisibility in complex environments, and they can also hide mana waves very well."

"The newly developed legion-level concealment formation, once the distance exceeds two kilometers, not even the sages can detect anything abnormal."

When Rosen heard this, he said: "Such a magic circle is suitable for hiding the fleet at sea."

Legion level means a huge scale of joint spellcasting, which can generally hide an army of a thousand people.

A spell of this scale is as eye-catching as a searchlight in the dark.

A legion's concealment formation with general performance can usually be detected by a sage from a distance of more than ten kilometers, but now it has been reduced to two kilometers. It is indeed very useful.

He continued to speculate: "The fact that the effect lasts for such a long time is probably because the Radiant Empire has found a way to convert low-level talents into valuable talents."

The queen was shocked when she heard this: "Doesn't it mean that you can remain invisible all the time? Then how can you fight on the battlefield?"

It would be terrifying to ambush a thousand-man army in advance on the battlefield and then rush out as a surprise attack at the critical moment.

Rosen smiled and said: "There is no perfect invisibility in the world. There must still be loopholes. As long as loopholes are found, the invisibility effect becomes a decoration."

"For example, this wave is a vulnerability, and it's certainly not the only vulnerability."

Regardless of whether it is a ground army or a naval warship, it is always a dissipator of power and will definitely emit some kind of power.

Moreover, Zhen Lun is invisible, and under the premise of small-scale casting, his breathless crystal wall is combined with the newly acquired radiant invisibility technique. The invisibility effect is no worse than the invisibility technique of the radiant empire, and can even be invisible face to face.

At this time, the queen suddenly groaned, and then stood motionless, just like the beast that had been hit by the musket.

It lasted for a while before returning to normal.

She looked worried: "If it is really a fleet, it may be coming for Weilan, and you will be in big trouble."

Although there is no concrete evidence, Rosen has roughly guessed what is going on.

"It should be for me."

"I estimate that the battleship is still Levend's battleship, but it uses the Glorious Empire's invisible magic weapon, and maybe there are also powerful weapons from the Glorious Empire."

"The purpose is also very simple, that is, Levend's little king does not want to pay back the money."

Seeing that the queen was so limp that she could hardly stand, he helped her into the bathroom and helped her wash her body intimately:

"I used to think that this little king was quite capable, but now I think this guy is a cunning businessman with no bottom line."

Through Maxim, he knew that the little king was not a puppet, and that he had always controlled the political situation.

He is the one who makes the final decisions on a series of matters in the kingdom, and the responsibility naturally lies with him.

Since this guy is so unreliable, when he secures his position as Duke, be the first to deal with him.

The queen was a little worried about Weilan's fate: "The 60 warships of Aaron's Lion Fleet are about to go north, and now Levande's ship has been added, so there are probably about a dozen of them, right?"

"Can you handle it? Do you need Kaa to send a fleet to fight?"

With such a fleet size, it would be difficult even for Kaa to handle it.

Not to mention Weilan, who has a lot of businesses waiting to flourish.

Rosen narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Don't worry, I'm fully prepared."

He was not prepared to play Kaa's card easily, because the queen's power also had some balance and had to be used carefully.

The fallen rose was washed clean and looked very delicate, so he lowered his head and kissed her, making the latter shy for a while.

"After the war, I will take His Majesty to the White Swan Castle in Weilan, so that we can meet often."

The White Swan Castle is the castle left by the Earl of Mont County.

Although the county town of Mont County, Mondania, is a mess, the exquisiteness of the White Swan Castle is only slightly inferior to the Dawn Castle, and even exceeds it by a large margin in terms of area.

It is said that the former Earl of Mont County invested more than 8 million Oger gold coins in this castle, and built the castle to the utmost luxury.

In particular, there is a Swan Lake nearby, which is a huge naturally formed lake with a length and width of more than 20 miles. It is one of the most famous scenic spots in Weilan.

Now, all this is naturally cheap for Rosen.

The queen doesn't really care where she lives. Anyway, her focus has always been on the royal family of Kao, but it is always a good thing to be closer to Rosen.

"Do you think I can still advance to the sixth ring?"

"Of course."

"Oh? But I feel that my magic power has not improved for many years. I also studied your practice records and found that they are basically useless to me."

Rosen smiled and said, "Don't worry, there is still a long time."

"I will invest heavily in building a super-large-scale magic school in Weilan, and set up a magic center in the school to study the method of breaking through the ring wall."

"I believe that by gathering the wisdom of countless talented mages, we will definitely find a way to cross the magic ladder."

The queen was slightly shocked when she heard it: "Duke, don't you worry that there will be high-ring mages everywhere, which will cause your power to be damaged?"

Rosen smiled lightly: "How can you be considered a high-ring mage if you only have magic power?"

His greatest reliance has never been magic power, but Lai Fu.

"Moreover, only when there are more high-ring mages can we truly promote the progress of magic and find a way for the human race to become a god race."

The queen felt ashamed: "What the Duke said is right, I actually forgot the Duke's real ideal."

After a while of intimacy, Rosen left the queen's residence.

First contact the Island Foreign Affairs Bureau, and based on the clues provided by the Queen, carefully search for the fleet that "disappeared" on the sea.

This search took two days and two nights.

Two days later, Rosen, who was still at the White Sturgeon Island Magic Center, received the news sent back by the Island Foreign Affairs Bureau.

The director of the Foreign Affairs Bureau was Master Stonard.

He was a person who liked to stir up trouble. He felt that there was no challenge in Weilan, so he took the initiative to collect overseas intelligence.

He reported: "Master, according to the combined inference of the underwater observation of the deep-sea fishman wizard and the pure water divination results of the banshee, 10 black stone ironclad warships have arrived."

"The average tonnage is estimated to be 4,000 tons, 70 meters long, 10 meters wide, the average speed is about 28 kilometers per hour, and the maximum speed is unknown."

"In order to avoid alarming the other party, the fishman wizard and the banshee scout did not dare to get too close, so there is no way to judge what kind of weapons the other party is carrying."

Rosen secretly felt lucky: "International politics is really dangerous. No matter how nice it sounds, it's all nonsense. In the end, it still has to be tested on the battlefield."

As for the secret support of the Glorious Empire, Rosen guessed that it might not be specifically aimed at himself, but to take the opportunity to test the battlefield performance of the new magic weapon.

When a big country develops new things, it must be thinking of testing the performance on the battlefield.

'What weapon should be tested? '

Rosen thought about it and found that there was only one possibility, that is, anti-aircraft weapons specifically used to attack aircraft.

Because the plane he built was slightly ahead of its time, it was something that could really threaten the Glorious Empire.

The other side would naturally think of countering.

‘How would the other side counter? ’

He lacked information about the Glorious Empire,

but Kao often dealt with the Glorious Empire and had a lot of relevant information.

After careful thinking with Kao’s information, Rosen finally got some ideas.

‘I’ll do some targeted defense. ’

As for whether it is effective, I don’t know until we test it on the battlefield.

This is also what is bound to happen when fighting with a country, just like groping in the dark. Unless you really fight, no one knows who is stronger.

Therefore, all countries are desperately hiding their own good things and desperately exploring the other side’s good things, in order to increase the certainty of the battlefield.

‘Fortunately, my biggest trump card this time is not an airplane, otherwise there might be trouble. ’

He asked again: “Where are these warships currently located?”

“They are currently anchored in a remote sea area south of the middle section of the Gilded Strait. It seems that they are waiting for the Lion Fleet and plan to act together.”

Rosen asked again: “What is the latest situation of the Lion Fleet?”

“15 Black Stone warships and 50 traditional sailing warships.”

“Among the traditional sailing warships, there are 20 2,000-ton giant ships, and the rest are more than 1,000 tons, equipped with an average of 40 guns, a total of 2,000 guns.”

“The tonnage of the Black Stone warship is 43 00 tons, 73 meters long, the hull is made of steel, and each ship is equipped with 60 so-called lion cannons, which can shoot 3 kilometers away. "

"It is said that its maximum speed can reach 40 kilometers per hour, which is much faster than the Black Stone warships coming from Levender. "

"In addition, Aaron also temporarily requisitioned a large number of cargo ships for transporting troops, each of which can transport 1,500 soldiers. Once the fleet wins the naval battle, there will be at least 40 troop transports heading north to send 60,000 Lion Legion to the main island of Weilan. "

Rosen listened carefully and compared his fleet.

10 high-speed Black Stone warships, 40 remnant storm fleets that have just been equipped with Black Stone cannons, have not completed combat training, and have very limited ammunition.

Even without the sneak attack of the Levender Fleet, it was still far behind the Aaron Fleet.

"They are trying to kill me before I get going!"

If they really engage in an artillery duel with the other side at sea, the Weilan Fleet will not have any chance of winning and will definitely be defeated. The entire fleet will sink to the bottom of the sea as a coffin.

But the ancestors of the earth told Rosen through the rich history of war that fighting should be flexible. When one dimension cannot be defeated, it is time to restart a new track.

It is also necessary to use one's own strengths to attack the enemy's weaknesses.

After hanging up Stonard's communication, Rosen took out the report form of the White Sturgeon Island arsenal.

As he looked at it, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up: "Hehehe~~ Since you sent the warships thousands of miles away, I will accept them all without hesitation."
