Chapter 674: A dignified and upright conspiracy
"Absolutely going to kill you!"
The black hand hidden in the shadows, exuding a rich black resentment all over his body, looked at the ship where Alice was, on the flagship in the middle of the fleet.
"Continue to follow the plan, continue to execute. ”
The rain of green liquid turned into a curtain that covered the entire area, first suffering from the magical enchantments placed on the ships, and then the sails of the ships, which could not withstand the corrosion of the acid even if they had been specially treated.
Since the first target is the sails, the other party just wants to limit their own fleet and make it unable to move, and the rest is that the operation is very familiar.
When facing an enemy who can't move, the first priority is to take the most powerful attack, because the more powerful the attack, the longer it takes to prepare, and the easier it is for the opponent to dodge in advance.
"It should be more than legendary magic. ”
"In the sky?"
"No, no, no, I think it should be from the sea. ”
Several girls were left in the cabin, huddled in the window, looking out through the thin glass of crystal, the green acid not corroding the crystal, but it did affect their view.
What these girls have learned before is only something in books, and it has not been tested in any practice, so it is just an uncertain guess at this time.
"Bluffing. ”
Only Maeve, who was still sitting on the bed, holding a book and flipping through it, whispered underestimation.
Even these little girls who have no combat experience understand the truth, the enemy will not fail to understand, after all, it is the fleet that dares to attack Alice, and it must be fully prepared.
Attacking powerful magic, of course, this kind of thing can be there, and a caster who can cast a [Acid Rain Technique] of this scale must also be able to cast [Meteorite Technique].
However, since the opponent is Alice, then such a traditional and old-fashioned method becomes very undesirable, because Alice is a powerful spellcaster, and she knows how to deal with such an attack, with the highest efficiency, the best way, to crack it, and then counter.
The [Acid Rain Technique] has been going on and has not ended, and the expected and most likely to appear, the powerful magic, has not appeared for a long time.
The sailors could no longer stay on deck to prepare, because the presence of acid rain had caused their skin to fester.
As a result, the more fragile things on deck, such as ropes, are corroded, and the speed of the ship is slowed down even further.
"It's time to come, right?"
Alice judged so, and she also didn't think that the opponent only used a [Acid Rain Technique] and did not cause too much damage to the fleet, so she evacuated from this place.
"Wait, if that's the case......"
If the goal of the opponent is to slow down the fleet, not to cause damage to the fleet, then it makes sense.
"Isn't it the main force to attack, and will there be an enemy who will attack us after this?"
Alice guessed that their fleet had not yet left the Celtic Isles, and was still in the Channel of England, in other words, there were enemies that could threaten the fleet.
Yes, in addition to the sea dragon, there are also things that can cause big trouble for the fleet, those beings called gods, because because of their character, gods will attack the surrounding beings like crazy.
In other words, if someone attacks the Divine Evil and then frantically escapes to lead the Divine Evil towards the fleet, then the fleet, which has become extremely slow due to the [Acid Rain Technique], will have to fight.
And the gods, the sons of the gods, no matter which one of them, have the ability to make Alice serious and go into battle, and if the enemy is attacking at that time, she will not be able to keep the fleet in check.
"What a crazy idea. ”
Alice admired, I have to say, although such an idea is very crazy, but the feasibility is also very high, if it is really encountered, even if the fleet wins, it will inevitably suffer a very heavy blow.
However, now that she has an insight into the tactics that the other party may adopt, Alice can find a way to counteract, and the poisonous snake hidden in the dark is indeed very terrifying, but when you can guess the location of the poisonous snake, this terrible is greatly reduced.
Because, the person standing in the open place can directly burn the grass and the snake together with a fire, or drive the poisonous snake out of the grass and kill it directly with a weapon.
"Let the scouts expand their search and pay attention to the location of the gods, I must know where they are now, and what they are doing. ”
"If necessary, go and attack the gods, lure them away from the fleet, and don't let them get near the fleet......"
Alice calmly gave such an order, she knew that such an order would kill many good scouts, but as a commander, she had to think about the big picture.
She was just doing what a commander should do, how to achieve the most brilliant victory with the least loss, and sacrifice...... As long as there is war, there will be sacrifice when there is fighting, because miracles are miracles precisely because they are almost impossible to happen.
The scouts of the Baltic Empire were very effective, and they delivered the information Alice wanted to her desk in half a day.
Exactly as I had guessed, at the current speed of the fleet, it would be a head-on encounter with a god in three days, and in the other direction, a typhoon was forming, moving rapidly towards this direction.
In other words, whether you continue to move forward or stay where you are, the fleet will encounter the enemy, and there will be no way to change the final outcome, and the battle that should have happened will still take place, and it cannot be avoided.
"Be ready for battle, this time the enemy is in a little trouble. ”
"We're going to fight a god in the midst of a storm, and there will be other enemies hiding in the shadows to attack us. ”
Alice sighed, and then ordered the preparation for battle, allowing the fleet to rest in place and repair the damage to the ships due to the [Acid Rain Technique].
"Also, gather as much information as you can about that god. ”
The previous method of trying to get someone else to attack the god and lure it away has been proven to be infeasible, because there is a loophole in the previous consideration, that is, ordinary attacks cannot break through the god's defenses at all, cause damage to it, let alone provoke it, but because of this, no one dies at the hands of the god.
To gather information about the gods and iniquities, to gather useful and informative information in such a short period of time, it is impossible to do it with ordinary methods of distant observation, and to accomplish such a task, it is necessary to take a little risk.
After the death of three excellent fish-man scouts and the annihilation of the three squads of Harpys, Alice has obtained the most basic information about the impending appearance of the god.
It was the head of a snake, the god of the body of a turtle, and where it passed, there would be these vortices left, and it could spit out lava, and the harpy would die when it was hit by the lava rain.
Although there is not much information, Alice still extracted some useful information from it, there will be a vortex left in the sea area she passes, which represents the marine divinity possessed by this god's body with the attributes of a vortex, and the spitting of lava may be a talent brought by the divinity of the volcano.
Gods are not intelligent, they cannot learn magic, so they can only use their innate abilities, which are what their parents have bequeathed to them.
Volcano and ocean, these two attributes, it can be imagined that among the parents of this god, one is the god of the volcano and the other is the god of the sea, and their priesthood and divinity have a great conflict, and such a combination is extremely easy to give birth to the god.
"Typhoon...... What about typhoons?"
The typhoon that is heading towards the rear is very large, and it does not seem to have formed naturally at all, because there is no natural disaster such as a typhoon in the English Channel at this time.
However, if it is a typhoon created by man-made magic, it is very unlike, the scale has been completed beyond the scope of magic can be created, even legendary magic, even Alice's unfinished [Wind Disaster], theoretically cannot reach that level, which can affect the scale of the entire sea area.
However, Alice didn't think that the typhoon that was moving towards here could be a natural formation, and she didn't believe that there could be such a coincidence.
She chose this route, and then there was a typhoon on this route, and the enemy who happened to attack them again used such targeted tactics.
Well, if it's a coincidence, it seems to make sense, because in a sense, Alice has never been favored by Lady Luck, on the contrary, the Goddess of Doom will frequently set her eyes on her.
If there's something that's the worst, the most worried about not wanting it to happen, then that thing is the most likely thing to happen.
In a situation that is no longer inevitable and cannot be changed, there is only one thing Alice can do, and that is to be as prepared as possible for the worst.
But if you look at it from another angle, it is not a lucky thing to give Alice and her fleet time to prepare in advance, and in the midst of misfortune, the only luck that can be comforted.
Three days seems to be a very short time, but it is also a very long time, and in these three days, everyone is trying to prepare and compress all the time that can be compressed.
Even the little princesses' classes were stopped, and they were instead assigned tasks to use the magic they had just learned to maintain some magical equipment in the cabin, so as to ensure that there would be no accidents when they were used.
"Who is the enemy?"
"I haven't heard of it. ”
"Even those mighty sea dragons have been defeated, what other enemies here will attack?
The princesses could not concentrate on the task at hand, and they gathered together and whispered about the coming storm and war, which frightened them, because it would put their lives at risk.
But in the midst of fear and fear, there is also a little curiosity, and at their age, they must be curious about something as exciting as war, because this is adolescence.
How could it be those pirates, haven't you heard, the most elite ships of those pirates have been burned down, and the rest will not be able to form an effective combat force in a short period of time.
Maeve lowered her head, rolled her eyes, and silently complained in her heart.
"I see! it must be King Attila!"
One of Maeve's sisters suddenly shouted, then quickly lowered her head.
They weren't in her room right now, there were other people preparing not far from them, and they didn't want to be reprimanded by their teacher in such a big audience, because it was really humiliating for such a small matter.
"Impossible. ”
"Absolutely impossible. ”
"No one can be King Attila. ”
Her sister kept shaking her head in denial.
How can it be the king of Atila, it is impossible to think about it with your brain, not to mention that according to the analysis of Atila's actions in the past, this time it does not look like Atila's handwriting at all.
Besides, the current strength of the Atila Empire does not have such a thing as a navy at all, they only have an army, and they can't get out of Scandinavia, how can they appear in the English Channel.
"How could it not be King Atila, her empire was destroyed by the Baltic Sea, and they are enemies between them!"
The girl blushed and retorted loudly.
"King Atila doesn't know how to swim. ”
"Didn't you say it in the previous class, but now the Attila Empire is at a critical time, if you let King Siegel and King Gohm know, the Attila Empire without Attila will be destroyed in a very short time. ”
"Well, King Atila will not risk the complete destruction of his empire and come from far and wide to attack us. ”
Maeve nodded as well, Attila did have a reason to attack the Baltic Empire, but she did not have the ability and opportunity to do so.
"Then you say, besides King Atira, who else is behind this attack?"
The girl continued, even if she was wrong, she didn't want her sister to be right.
The girls looked at each other, and if it wasn't for King Attila, then the others didn't seem to be very likely.
"How do we know. ”
"Yes, how do we know, we know it can't be King Atila. ”
Then, just like that, there was a chatter, and several girls were completely free of the tension before the war.
