Start with Island Lord

Dragon Islands.

This archipelago is very wide, with an area of ​​more than 1,200 kilometers. It is located in the Storm Ocean, northwest of the Holy Elf Empire and southwest of the Witt Continent.

The mainland east of the archipelago is the territory of the Holy Elf Empire. Further north is a steep mountain range running northeast, called the "Tianzhu Mountains".

The Tianzhu Mountains are not only high, but also very wide, forming a natural barrier between the Glorious Empire and the Holy Elf Empire.

Because of the existence of this mountain range, although the two countries dislike each other, it is difficult for a large-scale ground conflict to break out.

For the same reason, the geographical location of the Dragon Islands has become very important.

It is the gateway for the Glorious Empire to enter the elf world on a large scale.

If the elves lose control of the Dragon Islands, the Glorious Empire can use it as a springboard to block all the outlets of the Elf Empire in the Storm Ocean and pose a huge threat to the elves' homeland.

So, this place has become a battleground for the power of the two countries.

There are 21 large islands with an area of ​​more than 30,000 square kilometers in the archipelago, as well as countless small islands.

At this moment, the Glorious Empire has occupied 9 large islands in the north.

The 12 large islands in the south, especially the largest Moonlight Island, are still firmly controlled by the elves.

The archipelago area is densely covered with reefs, and the safe channels for large warships to pass are very limited. During the war, the sea area where the channel is located became the biggest outbreak point of maritime conflicts.

On this day, a fierce naval battle broke out again in the Star Sea about 300 kilometers north of Moonlight Island.

This time, the main attacker was the Elf Corps.

The purpose was to block the Glorious Fleet's support for Dragon Scale Island and buy time for another Elf Corps to recapture Dragon Scale Island.

In the sky far away from the battlefield, the sun god Osella and the newly promoted star god Sissi sat on a giant dragon respectively, using spells to watch the fierce battle on the distant sea.

In this naval battle, the Glorious Fleet had a total of 4 warships, 1 of which was a large warship of 100 meters long, and 3 medium-sized warships of 70 meters long, distributed in a sea area of ​​5 kilometers in radius.

In addition, there were about 100 planes flying in the sky.

The Elf Corps had no steel warships or planes, but it dispatched a full 100 sea dragons, 100 flying dragons, 10,000 underwater combat mermaids, and 10,000 flying banshees.

The dragon warriors were the main attackers.

Among them, the sea dragons were 35 meters long and weighed up to 120 tons, using various pure water spells as their main means of attack.

The flying dragons had an average wingspan of 40 meters and weighed 10 tons, using dragon breath of various attributes as their means of combat.

Because the physical and spell defense of the human warships were extremely amazing, all the flying dragons were poisonous green dragons.

The poisonous dragon breath they spewed could violently corrode everything they touched, including spell shields.

As for the mermaid warriors and flying banshees, they served as assistants to the dragon warriors.

Some of them attracted firepower and created attack opportunities for the dragon warriors, while others blessed the dragon warriors with defensive spells, dispelled harmful spells, and treated injuries.

Others continued to pour their power into the bodies of dragon warriors, giving them more endurance in battle.

At this moment, the two armies were fighting fiercely on the sea.

‘Boom~~~~Boom~~~~’

Thunderous noises continued to come from the battlefield.

The noise was louder than thunder, with a very high frequency, almost continuous.

Those were the black stone cannons of the human warships, with about 5 guns on each ship.

On average, 10 rounds can be fired per minute, which can be fired very far and with great power, but the accuracy is slightly poor.

It looks amazing, but the threat to the elves' navy and air force is very limited.

Osela whispered, "Master, the human race's Black Stone Cannon is not a big threat to our army in naval battles, but it is a terrible threat to the army."

"Their cannon can fire up to 15 kilometers away, and it is very accurate and powerful in hitting fixed targets. After a round of bombardment, it can often cause devastating blows to our coastal land facilities."

Sissi, or more accurately, Druitan's mortal body, frowned slightly.

"The power of this cannon is indeed amazing."

He estimated that even if the Truth Dragon was hit head-on, it would be seriously injured and fall.

I'm afraid that only the Truth Terrain Shield Dragon, which is specially strengthened for defense, can defend against its attack head-on.

When Druitan thought of the Truth Dragon, his mood suddenly became very irritable.

This thing is indeed very powerful in frontal combat, but it's a pity that it is too easy to get sick.

After calming down his bad mood, he continued to observe the battlefield.

In addition to the amazingly powerful cannons, the human race warships also have many powerful weapons.

One is the light array.

There are two on the medium-sized warship and four on the large warship.

These light arrays burst at a very high frequency, stimulating dazzling golden lines that dance back and forth in the sky like sharp blades.

Compared with the Blackstone Cannon, the absolute power of these golden lines is much weaker, and the threat to the flying dragon is not great.

But it is an extremely deadly threat to the flying banshee.

As long as the bright line is swept, the magic shield on the banshee can't stop it at all, and the body will be cut in two.

It is also very accurate and extremely difficult to dodge.

Fortunately, there are not enough of them, and the effective range is not far. The power is greatly reduced beyond 2 kilometers, so although it causes terrible damage, it does not form a crushing advantage.

Another weapon is a small ultra-high-speed artillery array.

These things look a bit like Blackstone cannons, but they fire very quickly and are quite accurate.

Once fired, a large area of ​​metal barrage will splash on the sea surface.

Its power is much stronger than the light array, and it can cause considerable damage to dragon warriors. If they resist for more than five seconds, they will be finished.

It can not only hit the sky, but also shallow water.

It hit the sea dragons and mermaids in the water so hard that they dare not show their heads, and also drove the flying dragons in the sky to hide everywhere.

There is also a deep sea bomb.

This thing can move in the sea, rush to the vicinity of the target, and explode violently.

The good news is that the speed of movement is not fast, and the shooting is not accurate.

The bad news is that the power is really great.

Once it explodes, all mermaid warriors within a hundred meters of the explosion will die, and the sea dragons will also lose their combat effectiveness.

In addition to these powerful weapons, the defense of the human warships is also extremely amazing.

Not only does the warship body use a lot of steel, but the magic shield outside the ship is also extremely thick.

Especially the large battleship, the shield range is more than 20 meters.

And there are various types, including pure water, force, and lightning.

The strength is also extremely amazing. The corrosive dragon flame of the poisonous green dragon needs to spray for at least half a minute to break the shield.

Facing the powerful weapons of the human race, the flying dragon simply cannot have such a long attack time.

What's more terrifying is that the power of this shield seems to be endless.

As long as it is not broken in one breath, it will immediately recover as before, which makes people feel powerless.

Compared with these thick-skinned and high-attack surface warships, the performance of the human race's aircraft is average.

Its speed and flying agility are inferior to those of the flying dragon. After a fight in the air, the flying dragon can easily deal a 1-for-30 loss.

So, after a while, the human aircraft evacuated the battlefield far away.

After a fierce battle, the elf army suffered heavy damage, while the human fleet was basically intact except for consuming a large amount of weapons and ammunition.

The most impressive performance in the Elf Corps was not the Dragon Warriors, but the Explosion Fruits thrown by the Flying Banshees.

Each of these Explosion Fruits was about the size of an adult's head. A Flying Banshee could carry five or six of them. After flying high in the sky, she would use the throwing technique to throw them far away at the human warships.

Because the warships were large and not fast, they could often throw them accurately.

Druitan could see clearly that whenever the Explosion Fruits fell, the human warriors would definitely try their best to intercept them.

But there were always some who failed to intercept them.

Therefore, when five or six head-sized Explosion Fruits exploded on the warship shield at the same time, they would often cause a huge shock to the warship shield.

There were several times when they even briefly penetrated the shield.

After watching for a while, Druitan said: "Since the Explosive Flame Fruit is so useful, why not make more?"

Osela smiled bitterly: "Master, the Explosive Flame Fruit is indeed powerful, but it is very difficult to make. We lack a tree that can grow Explosive Flame Fruit efficiently."

Druitan immediately said: "This is not a difficult task, and it will be available soon."

He decided to make a large number of Explosive Flame Fruits and develop them into the main attack method of the Elf Corps.

At this time, the battle situation in front gradually became clear.

Although the human fleet is very powerful, the number is small after all.

Although the Elf Corps suffered heavy losses, it has a great advantage in number.

After a fierce battle, the human race consumed a lot of combat supplies, and the endurance began to be insufficient, and gradually fell behind.

The human fleet began to turn around and retreat.

Druitan was not satisfied with the result of such a battle.

"The battle losses were too great, and the attack efficiency was too low. We must improve it."

Five thousand years ago, when he left the plane, the Elf Corps like today had the power to crush the entire plane.

Even if a few flying dragons were dispatched, the small human nation would collapse.

But this time, the same combat legion, with a greatly increased number, was greatly suppressed by a small fleet of mortals.

From the beginning to the end, his own side suffered heavy losses, but the other side was able to retreat decently.

This kind of victory in exchange for human lives made him feel very depressed.

Originally, he thought that although it was a little embarrassing, the elves had won after all.

But at this moment, the situation on the battlefield suddenly changed!

Suddenly, there was a dense sound of wind and thunder in the sky in the distance.

Ten seconds later, hundreds of white lines flew over at a very fast speed, like a white sword, piercing the battlefield.

As soon as the white lines arrived at the battlefield, they began to turn at high speed in the air, specifically targeting dragon warriors.

‘Boom~~Boom~~Boom~~~’

In a burst of dense explosions, the number of flying dragons in the sky and sea dragons in the water instantly decreased by 90%.

Dritan could see clearly that these white swords exploded extremely violently after hitting the flying dragons.

It was easy to tear a huge bloody hole in the body of the dragon warrior, and in severe cases, it was directly smashed into pieces.

With such injuries, not to mention survival, even the soul may collapse.

The change was too sudden and too tragic.

It can be seen that the elf warriors were all stunned, and many warriors even retreated uncontrollably.

The human fleet quickly seized the opportunity and began to counterattack, which immediately caused astonishing casualties.

In a few minutes, more than a thousand elf warriors died.

The situation of the battle turned around in an instant!

The human fleet did not linger in the battle, and quickly changed its course and rushed to the Dragon Scale Island that needed support at full speed.

Dritan frowned: "What is this?"

Osela's face was also full of horror: "It should be a magical weapon developed by the human race, called a high-speed explosive aircraft."

"They have appeared before, but not in such large numbers and not so dexterous, so the threat is not great."

After a pause, the shock on Osella's face turned to bitterness.

"Master, since we increased our troops, the Radiant Empire has also greatly increased its strength, and their strength has increased much faster than ours, so we are still at a disadvantage."

"If this continues, Moonlight Island may not even be able to be saved."

De Ruitan listened expressionlessly: "Is there a way to deal with it?"

"Hardly, unless the truth warriors are deployed."

De Ruitan actually also thought about it. It's not that the truth warriors can resist such explosive aircraft head-on, but that the truth warriors are fast and attack from a long distance. They can counterattack the explosive aircraft before they are hit.

He could see that as long as he shot down this explosive aircraft from 500 meters away, he would be unscathed.

But the Warrior of Truth has serious flaws and is temporarily useless.

After thinking for a few seconds, Dritan made a decision.

"As for Storm Continent, we have occupied 60% of the land, which is enough in a short time."

"On the mainland, we have switched from offensive to defensive, and are making every effort to expand Linhai to provide the empire with war resources."

"At the same time, transfer the main force back to the Dragon Islands and completely drive the Glorious Empire out of the islands."

Osella was delighted when she heard this: "Yes, Master."

Then he asked: "Master, what about the battle in front of you?"

"Retreat and defend the next line of defense."

"yes."

Dritan asked again: "Aren't there two mortal empires? Why can we only see the army of the Glorious Empire and the Natural Empire?"

"The Natural Empire has not participated in the war for the time being, but they have provided a lot of assistance to the Glorious Empire. Most of the explosive aircraft just now came from the Natural Empire."

"Not participating in the war?"

Dritan frowned again. He thought of the extremely rich soul mist and couldn't help but ask: "How much do you know about the Natural Empire?"

Osela showed a hint of embarrassment: "Master, there are not many."

Worried about being punished, he immediately explained: "The Natural Empire is shrinking behind the Glorious Empire. It is too far away from us. Its domestic intelligence agencies have strong counter-espionage capabilities. Once our people infiltrate, they will be noticed immediately. So. , we really don’t know much about the natural empire.”

Dritan understood: "In other words, we don't know what the natural empire is doing at all?"

"almost."

Osella nodded, but immediately said: "But the power of the two mortal empires is not much different. Maybe the Radiant Empire is stronger."

"Why do you say that?"

"Because the Natural Empire has just been unified. At least ten years ago, the Radiant Empire was obviously powerful and has been suppressing the Natural Empire."

"Furthermore, although we are mainly facing the soldiers of the Glorious Empire now, the Natural Empire also provides a lot of assistance. Therefore, we are essentially at war with two major mortal empires."

This statement still makes sense, but it does not satisfy Dritan.

Osela knew that Dritan was in a bad mood recently, and he was worried about being punished, so he immediately added: "Master, we also learned some news recently."

"What news?"

"Emperor Rosen of the Natural Empire submitted a marriage certificate to Queen Zoya of the Glorious Empire. The Queen agreed and is planning to hold the wedding in three months."

"It is said that in order to take care of the self-esteem of the citizens of the Glorious Empire, the wedding will be held in the palace of Meda Silin."

After a pause, Osella added: "Rosen will appear in the Glory Palace by then."

"Hmm~~~Interesting~~~Interesting~~~"

Dritan was pleased with the news.

He never gave up the beheading tactic, but the opponent was so good at hiding that he could never find the opponent's hiding place.

Now that this happened, he immediately became interested.

‘This guy Rosen is quite capable. It would be too risky for me to assassinate him by myself. ’

‘I’ll be well prepared. ’
