The King

"ah…"

   "Where did the scorpion come from?"

   "The centipede has entered the cabin!"

  …

   "There seems to be something under the boat?"

   "No, the ghost is chiseling the boat!"

   "Mage, act quickly, don't let these heretics get close to the warship!"

  Moxis, who realized the problem, hastily ordered.

  It's a pity that everything is too late. Affected by the storm, the fleet did not notice the phantom attacking immediately, and missed the best interception time.

  When the order was issued, the revived poisonous insects had already ravaged the cabin.

   Many officers and soldiers were poisoned before they could react.

   Not many people were poisoned to death, but the panic caused by the screams continued to spread in the fleet.

   "Your Excellency, the situation is not good!

  Most of our masters accompanying the army entered the sea of ​​mist. At this time, they were attacked by ghosts, and it was difficult to take care of all the warships at the same time.

   There are also these poisonous insects that popped up suddenly, obviously someone is manipulating them behind the scenes, otherwise how could the ghosts have so many thoughts? "

  The deputy's reminder shocked Moses. Then he said angrily:

   "Damn Alpha people, dare to collude with ghosts. I will definitely report this matter to the Governor of the Holy See and give them a good look!

   Send an order to let the people of the Inquisition to light the lamp. The sea is stormy, put it in the cabin..."

  Before the words were finished, a warship sank in front of Moses. The backflow of sea water caused waves, which also affected nearby ships.

  Revenge on the Alpha Kingdom, don't think about it for now. How to get through this catastrophe is the crux of the problem.

  The flagship was safe and sound. It was because Hudson knew that there were still experts left to protect the commander, and deliberately let the ghosts avoid this tough bone first.

  The rest of the warships will be miserable. The poisonous insects that ravage the cabin, together with the elusive ghosts, and the storm to help out, the battle cannot be fought at all.

  Countless soldiers received orders from the commander, but they didn't even know where the enemy was. Under the influence of panic, some soldiers with fragile hearts collapsed directly.

   Either throwing down their weapons and running around on the boat, or picking up the weapons in their hands and leaving them on the boat to slash wildly, without caring about carrying out orders at all.

  However, even if such evil things as "Lamps of Spirits" are not activated, their lifespan will be affected if they are in contact with them for a long time. The big shots are very taboo about this thing, so naturally they will not bring it into the flagship.

  Of course, if it were really placed in the flagship, Moxis would not give such an order that almost died together.

  The first warship sank, as if the valve had been opened, followed by warships one after another, sinking like dumplings, and finally swallowed by the sea.

   Realizing that the situation was not good, Moses ordered again in a panic: "Let the magic crystal cannon fire, there are so many ghosts, they must have encountered a ghost ship!

  All light magicians, immediately cast lighting spells and find out the location of the ghost ship for me..."

  The judgment is not wrong, creatures like ghosts are rare, especially in the sea.

   Occasionally encounter a few or it may be an accident, large-scale appearance, or encounter a ghost ship, or stray into some dangerous place.

  The fleet has been standing still without moving, and suddenly encountered a large number of ghost attacks. It must have encountered a ghost ship that came to "rob".

   However, the way to deal with it is a bit embarrassing. The lighting techniques were released one by one, which was extraordinarily dazzling in the storm.

  Unfortunately, after searching the sea for several miles, no trace of the ghost ship was found. The magic crystal cannon was fully loaded, but it was embarrassing to find that it couldn't find the target.

   I don't know if the artillerymen were too nervous, or the tumbling waves caused the accident, a magic crystal cannon was suddenly fired. Immediately afterwards, all the magic crystal cannons kept ringing with "rumbling".

   Originally wanted to stop, but hesitated a little, Moses still gave up the idea.

  Affected by the storm, even with the lighting technique, the distance that can be seen is very limited. In case the ghost ship hides out of sight, letting the magic crystal bombard it might be able to get a windfall.

   To wipe out the opponent, Moses no longer had extravagant hopes. As long as he can drive away the sneak attacking ghost ship, he is already very satisfied.

   At worst, it would have to be delayed until dawn. The combat power of the ghosts at night was too great. If the battle took place during the day, they would never be so passive.

  In the distance, Hudson, who witnessed the battle, showed a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

  Frankly speaking, the quality shown by the Holy See fleet after the attack can be regarded as excellent in the entire Aslant continent.

  If it weren't for the sudden storm that provided cover for the sneak attack, it wouldn't be easy to succeed.

   The fly in the ointment is this operation, there is no way to see the light. If the kingdom's fleet had been notified in advance, it might be possible to capture a few warships and bring them back as spoils of war.

   Now, we can only wait for the sunken ship to be salvaged after the war. Whether it will be able to gain something is still unknown.

  …

  In the misty sea area, the search and arrest team received the signal for help and hurried back. However, the dark lights are blind, the more anxious you are, the easier it is to lose your way.

  During the storm, the position of the warship is constantly moving. Going back the same way was just an extravagant hope. After turning the bow of the ship and running around in a daze, I soon lost my way.

  Hammodi, who was so angry that he led the team, cursed at the captain. I knew that this trip would not go well, but I didn't expect that the first accident would be the fleet that stayed outside.

   If they had known that the ghost ship would attack the fleet, they would have been so busy, they would have just sat back and waited.

   "Commander, the wind and waves at sea are too strong, and there are no marks nearby, so there is no way to lock the direction.

   Otherwise, send someone to investigate first, determine the location of the fleet, and then we will rush there. "

   As soon as the middle-aged captain finished speaking, he got a big mouth. It was obviously a good idea.

   At other times, it is not a big problem to send experts out to search for the location of the fleet, but here is the sea of ​​fog.

   It is gray as far as the eye can see. If you really leave the warship, you may not even find your way back.

   "Hammodi, hurry up and find a way. There are too few masters left behind in the fleet, and you will definitely suffer a big loss if you encounter an eighth-order ghost ship.

  If we go back late and the fleet suffers heavy losses, the Holy Mountain will not be able to explain it. "

  The ascetic old man said sharply.

   These dark cultivators have never been welcomed in the Holy See. Even if he became a powerhouse of the eighth rank, his status was not that high.

   There is no way, talent and birth environment are innate, non-human can change.

   In fact, these people are lucky. If it weren't for the fact that the Holy See was in decline and needed "cult" organizations to do dirty work, they wouldn't even be qualified to practice.

  Three hundred years ago, when the Holy See dominated the mainland, anyone who detected the talent of darkness would be destroyed by humanity.

  Even if the parents are rich and powerful, and they can't bear to watch their own flesh and blood being murdered, at most they can only hide their darkly gifted children among the people.

   For a group of dark-type powerhouses, this operation is their best chance to stand up.

  The strong in the continent of Aslante are respected. As long as a dark sanctuary is born, their embarrassing situation in the Holy See will inevitably change.

   Correspondingly, if the operation fails and the fleet suffers heavy losses, they are also the best people to blame.

  Because of their faith, there are not many people in the Holy See who dislike them.

  Kicked the old man hard, and Harmodi said angrily: "Enough! Didn't you see that I was trying to figure out a way, what a mess!"

  In terms of strength, he is indeed inferior to the old man in front of him, but he is a seventh-rank paladin and also serves as the commander of the fleet, so his status is actually higher than the old man.

  A few skirmishes are nothing, the key is how to find the location of the main fleet. He just took it for granted and went back the same way. He didn't know where he was now after a whirlwind.

   "I have sent a message to Moses, asking him to make the magic crystal cannon sound and guide us in the direction. As long as we get closer, we can identify the direction based on the sound.

  There is only the sound of the storm here, which proves that the fleet is not in this sea area, and continue to search in another direction! "

  Deep in his heart, Harmodi once wanted to order his troops to divide into three groups and search in the other three directions to increase the probability of encounter. It's just subconsciously telling him it's dangerous.

  This feeling has saved his life several times. The thrilling feeling appeared again, and Harmodi really didn't dare to take it lightly.

  …

  The **** battle continued. The rain washed away the blood stains left on the ship, but it couldn't wash away the chilling atmosphere on the battlefield.

  The roaring cannon still continued, but it seemed a little weak. As warships sank one after another, the sound of artillery fire became weaker and weaker.

  Watching helplessly, the fleet in his hand was constantly being attacked, but he couldn't even find the enemy's direction. Moses couldn't sit still anymore.

  There is a voice in his heart constantly reminding him:

   "You can't continue to sit still!"

   "You can't sit still!"

  …

   If you can't find the body of the ghost ship, killing more ghosts will be in vain. Take the ghost king in front of me as an example. It fell twice on the flagship, but it was still alive and kicking.

  The strength is indeed weakened compared to the original, but this weakening is too insignificant. On the contrary, the two eighth-rank powerhouses on the flagship were killed, which became a permanent loss.

  People can die and come back to life, and they can bring a group of little ghosts to die together, but the strong man on the warship is really dead after death.

   Judging from the current battle situation, if the main body of the ghost ship cannot be found and the opponent is severely injured, the fleet will not last until dawn.

   Knowing is one thing, how to get out of it is another. The entanglement in his heart directly affected his command.

  In fact, it doesn’t matter whether there is a commander or not in the battle until now. Anyway, the entire battlefield is in chaos, and the formation has long since ceased to exist.

  Affected by the waves, the magic crystal cannon accidentally injured its own warship, and it happened more than once. But they still dare not let the artillery fire stop. This is the last spiritual sustenance of the soldiers.

   "Send the order, the whole army will disperse and break through!"

   After struggling hard, Moses ordered helplessly.

   A warship that can run is one, and staying in place will only be slowly worn to death by the enemy. The location of the ghost ship could not be found, and there was no way to launch a counterattack.

   It's not that he is incompetent, it's that the enemy is too cunning. Whose ghost ship came out to rob, but the ghost did not see the ship?

  The nearby officers wanted to persuade, but finally shut up again. After issuing this order, Moses will definitely be in bad luck when he is held accountable in the future.

   If you don’t disperse and break through, you won’t be able to pass this level tonight, so how can you talk about the future?

  …

  Among the clouds, one person, one dragon and one bear watching the battle, are wearing a magic shield at the moment, constantly commenting on the battle below.

  Even if he didn't have dinner, he was forgotten by Hudson. Meals can be eaten at any time, but this kind of exciting battle is not encountered every day.

   "Not good, the enemy wants to run!"

   Seeing warships keep getting out of position, Hudson immediately realized that something was wrong.

   It's just that the Holy See has too many fleets. Even after several hours of fighting, there are still many warships on the sea.

   Staying in place to fight can also slowly consume the enemy and grind them to death in this sea area.

  At this moment, the enemies are fleeing in all directions. Even if Hudson goes off in person, it is impossible to leave all the enemies behind.

  After thinking for a while, Hudson immediately ordered: "You give the Ghost King an order, don't worry about those small warships, and leave the enemy's capital ships first.

  Bear Stearns, you are flexible enough to secretly look for opportunities to help the ghosts, but remember not to reveal your identity. "

   Did not let Maxim take action. On the one hand, he needed the dragon to protect himself, and on the other hand, he was worried.

   When it comes to the technique of playing sap, Bear Stearns is a professional, but Maxim has just started.

  Once the toss is high, Hudson can't guarantee that his stupid dragon can control the dragon's ostentatious nature.

  I'm not sure to silence all the enemies. If my identity is exposed, it will be set on fire.

  The kingdom can indeed withstand thunder, but the premise is that the hatred cannot be drawn too deep.

   What if he really angered him and the Holy See took his lair when he led troops out?

   In the previous series of conflicts, Hudson did offend the Holy See, but it was not a life-and-death enmity.

   Initially robbed and killed the cavalry of the Holy See, that was ignorance, plus the execution of orders from superiors. The kingdom directly took over the firepower, and people couldn't think of him as a little baron.

  The "Blood Moon Horn" will be traded later. Although there is suspicion of extortion, the evil weapon itself is worth the price.

   Not to mention the vest of the great magister of the undead. I'm afraid the Holy See still doesn't know whether he made the deal with the great magister of the undead, or with him, the lord.

   In the future conflict, there will only be a dispute of words. Hudson is the representative of the Alpha Kingdom, not a conflict between himself and the Holy See.

  This time is different, the three main fleets of the Holy See are almost gone by him. Who can endure such an unforgettable hatred?

  All the rules of the game are established without touching the opponent's bottom line. This time, it's not just the bottom line, but even the bottom line.

  If the three main fleets are all buried here, the Holy See's sea power will drop by at least 70%. Don't say it is like reaching out to the outside world now, it is difficult to maintain the safety of one's own sea area.

   It can be said unceremoniously that at least in the next five years, there will be no warships of the Holy See in the waters of the Kingdom of Alpha.

   Even if they want to take revenge on the kingdom, they cannot come by sea. The remaining sea power of the Holy See is no longer comparable to the sum of the sea power of all the kingdom's sea power.

  Whether it is for Hudson or for the nobles on the southeast coast, this is a great benefit.

  The sea cannot come, but the power coming from the land can take revenge on a certain noble family alone. If it targets the entire kingdom, it is purely giving away the head.

  The countries along the way are not easy to use. If the Holy See dispatches too much force, it will not be able to hide them from the eyes of local snakes.

  Even if it is inconvenient to do black hands in person and spread the news to the Alpha Kingdom to sell favors, it is still possible.

  In a sense, this battle has shaped the kingdom's maritime strategic security for the next five to ten years.

   In the blink of an eye, the Holy See fleet had already fled in all directions. The small warship Hudson could no longer pay attention, and only the enemy's capital ship was left in his eyes.

  Especially the flagship ship, which is the focus of attention. Bear Stearns, who descended from the back of the dragon, landed on the flagship at the first stop.

   It's just that the Earth Bear affected by "Gou Dao" has shrunk to the size of a show, and it's impossible to notice it if you don't pay attention.

  At the moment, the ship is full of poisonous insects, and it is not at all eye-catching to mix in it. However, it was this inconspicuous little guy who directly knocked an eighth-level magician into the sea.

   Having made a good start, in the ensuing battles, people continued to be killed. Either the whole person was knocked into the air, or the parts of the body were damaged.

  The muddle-headed battle left everyone on board confused. He only heard the wails from his companions, and had no idea what was going on.

  As the commander, Moxis was the first to realize that something was wrong. As soon as he shouted "There are still enemies on board", his head suddenly flew out.

   Before everyone could react, the warship began to sink rapidly.

  In just the blink of an eye, Bear Stearns had found the core of the magic circle, and slapped it, not only destroying the magic circle, but also creating a big hole in the cabin.

   Immediately after that, there are countless large holes. The ship without the protection of the magic circle is just a pile of solid wood. The aftermath of the battle alone can send the warship into the sea, let alone a sanctuary bear that made a hole.

  After groping for a successful experience, in order to reduce the probability of exposure, Bear Stearns no longer shoots at people. Every time he sneaks into a warship, he finds the core of the magic circle, and immediately flashes the bear after destroying it.

  Even if there are strong guards, they can't stop a sanctuary bear that concentrates on sneaking. As soon as the blow hit, the sea water poured in immediately, and it was too late to repair it.

  Seeing the sinking of warships one after another, Hudson gradually understood what was going on, and turned to his own dragon and asked, "Have you learned, Maxim?"

  Maxim, who was absorbed in watching the excitement, never expected that Hudson would suddenly ask a question. He shook the faucet, and his mind was filled with a series of greetings.

   "Have you learned it?"

   "What to learn?"

  After hesitating for a while, he said with a look of disdain: "What is there to learn, isn't it just sinking a few broken ships?

  If I were to go down, the custody would be better than him!

   Hudson, don't forget that Bear Stearns is a land creature. When I get to the sea, I can beat a bear like him at both ends, unlike our dragon clan who are kings everywhere!

  If it wasn't for your face, I would have taught him to be a bear long ago. Tian Tian dares to be with Uncle Long..."

  The topic of deviation made Hudson have to stop. The thinking patterns of humans and dragons are different after all.

  He wants to keep it secret, so as not to attract revenge from the Holy See. But Maxim wished that the whole world would know about it, so that he could show his prestige.

  Fortunately, he was steady just now. If Maxim made a move, there is a high probability that it will not end now.

  If the identity is really exposed, then they can only start the back-up, leading the fleets of the major coastal nobles to encircle and suppress the remaining Holy See fleet.

  As the leader, it is true that you must attract the most hatred, but having a group of allies who share the hatred can also reduce some pressure.

  …

  The weather gradually brightened, the blood had already dissipated, the fish and shrimp in the sea carve up the last residue, and the sea surface slowly returned to calm.

  The sun shines down again, refracted on the rising waves, like pearls flying out.

  Only the sawdust floating on the sea is telling the cruelty of the battle last night.

  Looking along the waves, you can occasionally see survivors holding boards and doing their final struggle against the sea.

   Did not extend a loving hand, and did not add insult to injury. Without revealing his identity, Hudson chose to act as a bystander.

  The ghost ship is still doing its final hunt, but that is no longer his focus. Annihilated the main warships of the three major fleets of the Holy See, the remaining ones are no longer worth mentioning.

  The Holy See team that went deep into the misty sea has not been annihilated, and this war is not yet complete.

   But this kind of thing can't be rushed, and without a suitable fighter, Hudson would rather wait forever.
