Start with Island Lord

Six o'clock in the morning.

The morning light is faint.

This is the first summer month, with a slightly hot southeasterly wind blowing.

At the Dweilan Military Port in the north of Aaron, amidst the majestic orders, warships lined up neatly on the sea.

The giant sailing ship raised its sails and took the lead in heading towards Oran Cape in Weiland in the north.

Because Oran Cape is the closest to Aaron, only 160 kilometers away. Even at the speed of a sail warship, using the wind weapon to assist the acceleration along the way, it only takes six hours to reach the end of the land.

The goal of the fleet is to destroy all the invading Weilan navy, ensure smooth navigation of waterways, and destroy all army defense facilities on Cape Oran to prepare for the subsequent landing of the Lions.

On the balcony of the naval port management building, accompanied by a group of followers, Marquis of Gunter watched the fleet go north with a telescope.

He didn't put down the telescope until the telescope could no longer be seen clearly, and said to the followers beside him with a smile: "Our fleet can destroy the Weilan fleet at least three times!"

He could not think of any possibility of failure, and his heart could not help but ignite a raging flame against the royal power:

"Dange, Dange~ When the fleet takes back Weilan, your position as king will belong to me!"

What to do with Dange next?

The Marquis raised his hand and twirled his curled beard, thought carefully, and then came up with a good idea.

"You don't like to take a bath, so I'll have someone give you a bath every day, breaking the commandments of your naturalist, haha~"

On the sea, the Lion Fleet formed a battle formation with the Blackstone Fleet as the main force and the Sail Fleet as the auxiliary.

Almost all the mid-level and senior officers of each battleship are nobles, and two-thirds of them are nobles from the main war faction.

The nobles almost completely control this fleet, and the strength of this fleet accounts for more than 30% of Aaron's naval power.

Once this battle is won, the main war faction will gain huge prestige and will immediately dominate Aaron's political arena.

The flagship of the fleet is called the "Sea King Power", and the captain is Sir Gaunt, the younger brother of the Marquis of Gaunt.

Of course, the whole family must fight for the Aaronic throne.

At this moment, Jazz was sitting in the solid steel command cabin of the Blackstone Battleship, surrounded by a circle of telepathic mages, a total of sixty people.

They continuously passed the Admiral's orders to each ship, and also reported the feedback information from each ship to Sir Gaunt.

When the fleet crossed the center line of the Gilded Strait, a messenger mage turned around and said: "Marshal, the sky hunters are in position and ready to fight at any time."

"very good!"

The last worries in Sir Gaunt's heart disappeared, and he suddenly felt very excited.

He issued an order: "Closely monitor the surrounding situation, and report immediately if any abnormalities are detected!"

He had a vague hunch that Weilan's navy should be not far ahead.

His hunch was right, because about half an hour after he issued the order, a "buzzing" thunder sounded from the distant sky.

At this time, many people already knew this voice, so although they were nervous, they were not panicked.

Sir Gunter immediately issued an order: "Weilan's plane is here~ The mind mage group will open the ring of the mind immediately!"

After saying that, he immediately shouted to his subordinates: "Confirm with the hunters that they are in position. It's time for them to appear soon!"

The summons mage asked immediately.

After a while, he replied: "Marshal, the hunters are already in position, just waiting for the plane to approach."

At this moment, black spots began to appear in the sky in the distance. The black spots became larger and larger, with as many as 25 in number.

Seeing the number of black dots, Sir Gunter was not surprised but overjoyed: "Aha~ Is this the number of all planes in Weilan? I knew this kind of thing would be very difficult to make!"

In his opinion, how could such a powerful magic weapon be easy to make?

He immediately issued a new order: "If a plane falls into the water later, nearby warships will immediately abandon the combat mission and rush to salvage it with all their strength."

Of course, for such a good thing, we must retrieve Aaron, study it carefully, and then find a way to copy it.

Just then, the sky conditions changed again.

The plane was divided into two batches.

One group was lingering in the distance, but four of them flew over separately.

It can be seen that the opponent is flying very high, at least 1,500 meters, completely beyond the limit of the striking distance on the ground.

In the past, Gunter would have felt uneasy, because it meant he could only be beaten without being able to fight back.

But now, things are different.

He came to the porthole window and stared at the black spots in the sky, waiting for the mysterious hunter hiding in the darkness to take action.

As expected, the hunter took action!

I saw a large amount of incandescent light suddenly shooting out from the empty sea area. Each one was thicker than an adult's arm. There were more than a hundred of them!

This light was like countless sharp swords, piercing the planes in the sky fiercely.

It is the famous spell of the Glorious Empire, "Light of Judgment".

No, judging from the current situation, it should be called the Judgment Intensive Array!

Sir Gaunt was extremely shocked when he saw this: ‘How much mana does this consume! ’

As a large amount of light pierced out, light and shadow rippled violently on the sea, and a fully armed black stone fleet gradually emerged.

It was vaguely visible that a white sun flag with a black background hung on the fleet, which was the platinum king flag representing the Levand royal family.

Look at the sky again.

As soon as the dense light came out, most of it missed, but a small half hit the target.

On average, a plane is hit by at least five or six Lights of Judgment.

This is normal. Although the distance is far and the two planes are fast, light is naturally faster!

But what happened was far beyond Sir Gaunt's expectations!

‘Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! ’

It was the plane in the sky that was hit, but it was the Levender battleship on the ground that exploded.

To be more precise, it was the weapon that Levender used to stimulate the beam of the Judgment Array.

These things actually exploded directly!

The Judgment Array, which was dazzling the moment before, became a pile of scrap metal the next moment.

Sir Gaunt was shocked: "What's going on? Is the magic weapon broken?"

What kind of broken thing is this? Why does it break down as soon as it is used? Is it worthy of being called a sky hunter?

The messenger mage immediately replied: "Levender said that there is a mirror on the plane."

Gunter was stunned, and then puzzled: "Isn't the Light of Judgment not afraid of mirrors?"

"Besides, the mirror has no brains, and the angles of entry are different. How can it all return to the original path?"

It's not like he hasn't played with mirrors before. Levender made up this broken reason to deceive fools?

But he didn't have time to blame the other party, because the first wave of attacks from the plane arrived!

The fierce mental attack fell from the sky, hitting the fleet on the sea like a torrent, erupting once every 20 seconds on average, each time for 5 seconds, and the range of action was up to 500 meters.

The warships on the sea have made special defenses against this move.

Not only is each warrior equipped with a special defense amulet, but the Mind Mage Corps has also stimulated a large-scale Mind Ring.

Both Levender's warships and the Lion warships did block this powerful mental attack.

But the performance of the two fleets was different.

The Aaron fleet just took the mental attack and continued to go north.

The Levender fleet activated the cloaking array again, and it was obvious that they were preparing to run away.

Under the mental storm, all telepathy failed, and Sir Gaunt could only watch the Levender fleet escape.

He cursed: "You cunning Levender merchants, I curse you to sleep on the bottom of the sea forever!"

At this moment, the violent mental storm suddenly disappeared, and the four planes in the sky turned around and flew away.

This seemed to be good news, but then, 21 planes that had been hovering in the distance flew over.

They flew very high, more than three thousand meters.

This distance was too high, and only a small black dot could be seen, and it was impossible to see what the opponent was doing.

The sea fleet waited for a long time, but it was not attacked.

Just as Gunther was wondering about the opponent's attack method, he suddenly heard a strange sound.

'Ding~~~~~~~'

It was a bit like a whistle, and a bit like the sound of wind.

Before he could come to his senses, there was a sudden and extremely dense explosion on the sea!

He clearly saw that a carpet-like flame appeared on the sea surface, extending all the way to the warship, and as soon as the warship was extended by this terrible fire carpet, the deck immediately fell into a sea of ​​fire.

The Blackstone warship was okay, barely able to withstand it. Although it suffered losses, it did not completely lose its combat effectiveness.

But the wooden sailing warship was directly caught in a raging sea of ​​fire.

This bombing caused five sailing warships to completely lose their combat effectiveness.

Levender's warship had just entered stealth, and was forced to exit stealth again after such a blow.

They seemed to be taken special care of. The decks of six of the ten warships fell into a sea of ​​fire.

If the Blackstone warship was not strong enough, it would even sink into the sea.

Sir Gaunt immediately understood: "Throwing explosive bombs from the sky!"

This trick is not terrible. A wind barrier above the warship can prevent the natural falling explosive bombs.

"Wind Barrier~~Raise the Wind Barrier~"

Before he finished speaking, the messenger mage immediately replied: "Marshal, in order to defend against psychic attacks, the mages' mana is almost exhausted, and I'm afraid the barrier can't last too long."

Gunter was slightly surprised, but soon he breathed a sigh of relief: "It's not a big problem. The planes have all left, and they must have thrown away all their explosive bombs."

"Remove the wind barrier first, and wait for the planes to come."

But what should he do next?

To be honest, he really didn't know.

The situation changed too quickly, and he had no experience in dealing with it.

He didn't even see the opponent's ship, but he lost five warships and more than a thousand soldiers were killed.

It can be seen that other captains are in a state of extreme confusion like him.

No one has ever seen such a way of fighting.

The messenger mage kept passing on the captains' questions.

"What should we do next?"

Should we fight?

If we fight, how should we fight?

Sir Gunter felt that he was under great pressure.

Not only the fate of the entire fleet of soldiers depended on his decision, but also the fate of his family.

Under the huge pressure, he had the idea of ​​retreating.

‘The situation of the opponent is unclear, so it is most important to withdraw Aaron and preserve strength. ’

He had studied the previous battle between the Storm Fleet and the White Sturgeon Gunboat and knew the fighting style of Duke Weilan.

If he continued to fight to the end at this time, he would most likely be annihilated.

The vague thoughts quickly turned into a clear will, and then he planned to order a retreat.

But before he could say anything, he was suddenly interrupted by a terrifying "boom".

Before he could react to what was going on, he heard several more "boom boom boom" sounds, and at the same time, a blazing and violent flame poured into the command cabin like a flood.

In an instant, the flagship command cabin was filled with flames and iron splashes.

All the communication mages, including the supreme commander Sir Gaunt, were killed!

The battle was not fought yet, and the supreme command was gone!

The remaining warships suddenly floated forward like headless flies.

The command cabin of each warship was in chaos, and all kinds of voices were flying in the sky.

"Who is attacking us?"

"How is the marshal?"

"What should we do next?"

In the chaos, inexplicable explosions occurred again.

'Boom boom boom boom~~~'

There were explosions on almost every warship, and the command cabin on every warship exploded, and it was the kind that exploded several times in a row, blowing the command cabin to pieces.

Whether it was the Lion warship or the Levender warship, they were all bombed indiscriminately.

The command cabin, which was in chaos just now, suddenly became a ruin raging with flames, and many charred human bodies were scattered in the ruins.

Even if there were lucky ones who did not die, they would have stepped half a foot into the realm of the god of death, and there was no possibility of rescue at all.

There were a total of seventy warships and seventy command cabins on the sea. On average, each command cabin had at least three violent explosions inexplicably.

Usually, the first explosion occurred on the outer layer, penetrating the defensive spells on the surface of the warship, and the second and third explosions directly hit the tightly defended command cabin!

Such a large fleet suddenly fell into a state of disarray.

The problem remained the same.

Where is the enemy?

How did they attack?

No one knew. The soldiers on the deck, the artillery under the deck, and the middle and low-level officers who survived by chance had only two expressions on their faces.

One was despair, and the other was confusion.

They had powerful artillery and powerful warships, but they could not play any role and completely became targets for attack.

‘Buzz~~Buzz~~’

The planes in the sky appeared again, flying in circles over the fleet.

There was a sound from the sky descending from the sky.

"Warriors, you have two choices now."

"First, run away. Then we will hunt you all the way until every one of you is killed."

"Second, surrender. Drive the warship to Cape Oran, anchor on both sides of the Oran River, disarm all weapons, and get off the ship to accept surrender."

"We are merciless to the enemy, but we never swing a knife at those who surrender."

"If you want to live, hit the surrender cursor. If you want to die in the sea, just run away!"

The survivors on the warship looked at each other.

This battle can't be fought at all. All the noble commanders are dead, leaving only some middle and lower-level civilian officers.

The enemy is still unknown, and there is no other way except surrender.

'Buzz~Buzz~~~'

One by one, the sun balls were shot into the sky, forming vertical elliptical patterns.

"Very good, you made a wise choice."

"Now, rescue the wounded and move on."

Half an hour later, the fleet moved forward again, but all the soldiers on the ship were shrouded in dejection and confusion.

It is normal to lose a war. There are losers in every war, but at least we should know how we lost, right?

Now, losing inexplicably is really frustrating.

But no one dared to resist.

Because the opponent's attack was too terrible, accurate and powerful.

Just as the defeated fleet continued to move north, about 20 kilometers away on the sea, 10 high-speed warships followed the defeated fleet northward.

On the warships, all the guns had been dismantled and replaced with long slides. Each slide was 50 meters long. Each warship was equipped with four slides, almost covering the entire deck.

At the end of the slide, there was a small delta-wing aircraft parked, with a wing width of less than 1 meter, less than one twentieth of a manned aircraft.

Its power did not come from the flame jet array, but from a tail motor propeller, and the energy came from a large-capacity lightning house inside the small aircraft.

The above are the power components, costing 300 Ogg, which can ensure that the small aircraft can fly at a speed of 150 kilometers per hour and skim the sea for half an hour.

The nose of the aircraft is equipped with about 50 kilograms of triggering thunder powder, which is mixed with many steel balls.

This is an explosive component, costing 100 Ogg.

The front end of the warhead is specially made into a concave cone to ensure that a violent forward shock wave will appear after the explosion, which is enough to penetrate ordinary steel plates.

Then, there is a flying component composed of a flying puppet and a psychic crystal lattice.

The cost is 400 Ogg, which greatly reduces the difficulty of remote control by the mage.

Then, it is the light and shadow spell core newly developed by Rosen, which constitutes a remote control component.

The cost is 150 Ogg, which allows the mage to stay on the warship and remotely control the aircraft in real time. The farthest remote control distance is 30 kilometers, far beyond the 3-kilometer range of the artillery.

Finally, and the most critical one, is a breathless crystal wall that has been reduced to the fourth ring and an optical invisible rune that together form an invisible component, which greatly guarantees the success of the raid.

The cost is 300 Ogg.

Simply put, this is an alien version of an unmanned self-destructing invisible aircraft.

The total cost is 1250 Ogg per aircraft, and the production efficiency is five aircraft per day. A total of 280 aircraft were produced, and all of them were brought out.

Now only 40 aircraft are used.

If the opponent's fleet does not surrender and must fight to the death, it will be a bit difficult to deal with.

Fortunately, the opponent was completely scared.

Such a crucial battle, Rosen is of course also there.

He is standing in the command cabin of the flagship, looking at the situation of the defeated fleet in the distance through the light and shadow array.

Seeing that the opponent obediently went north to surrender, he smiled and said to Holander beside him: "Old General, I am not wrong, the current navy relies on knowledge and skills."

Courage is useful, but not very useful.

I sighed in my heart: 'The power of radiance is still easy to use. I only developed a small application, and it's so powerful. If all this is developed, won't the world be turned upside down? ’

Fortunately, the Lord of Glory does not have a deep understanding of light, otherwise it would not be the Glory Empire, but the Glory Continent.

Holland looked at the fleet in the light and shadow.

This was once an invincible thing in his heart that could not be resisted.

Now, they are all losers, and they have never even seen a real opponent from beginning to end.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but couldn't, so his chin beard curled up.

After a long while, he said: "What does the Duke plan to do with these soldiers and ships?"

Rosen smiled and said: "The Blackstone battleship is for your own use, and the sailing battleship is bought back by them. As for the prisoners of war, let them spend money to redeem them. We Weilan have the final say on the price."

"If they are not redeemed, the prisoners of war will work in factories, and they will not lose anything."

Especially Levend's 10 black stone battleships must have been built by the Levend royal family to tighten their belts. One of them may cost four to five million Oggs.

In addition, the ship is also equipped with precious glorious weapons, which is really a big treasure.

In short, he made a lot of money this time.
