Chapter 659: The Channel of England

The strait in the Celtic Isles, named after the island of England among the Celtic Isles, was also a pirate's paradise, a place of revelry for all kinds of monsters and gods, and the daily murders in this sea area, even in the North Sea, which was ruled by pirates.

Because it is the only sea passage and route from the north to the Mediterranean Sea in the middle of the main plane, and to the Nile region further south, connecting the north, the center and the south.

The skilled pirates relied on the Celtic Isles to entrench themselves in the strait, and they watched vigilantly at every ship that passed through the strait, not missing any chance that might be profitable.

The pirates were terrible and terrifying, though they longed for every ship that passed by, and wanted to get a piece of the water from the ships laden with cargo.

However, it is not the seemingly powerful and crazy pirates who really rule the seas, but the fierce beasts that hide beneath the surface.

It is very different from the Baltic Sea, there are no races such as mermaids, krakens, and fish-people here, because there are too many fierce beasts staying here, and these sea tribes cannot develop and grow here at all.

Among all the fierce beasts, the top is the pure-blooded dragon led by the sea dragon, and the other fierce beasts, even if they are powerful, are still not comparable to the dragon.

In the waters of the English Channel, these pure-blooded dragons enjoy the service of their dependents every day, and then spend their energy on robbery, they are really much happier here than their people living in the Northlands.

There was no Attila, no Alice, no dragon slayers, no dragons who were obsessed with the dragon's riches, for the sea dragons liked to build their nests in the middle of the sea, and that stopped ninety percent of the greedy eyes.

And there is no easier thing to do than to get rich, as long as you rush out of the sea, and roar at those merchant ships, those people will be pale and obediently give away the finances.

Of course, this is not something that happens all the time, and when the sea dragons are in a bad mood, they will also dive under the merchant ships, overturn them with brute force, and then laugh at the panicked appearance of those people.

In addition to the pure-blooded dragons, there are also gods here, the product of the ferocious ferocity that the gods left behind when they did not leave the main plane.

These gods are completely different from sea dragons, the desire to kill has been imprinted in their bones, and their daily life is only three things, sleeping, eating, and fighting.

If you can still use treasure to exchange for a chance to survive when you encounter a sea dragon, then when you encounter a god, you can only try all means to escape.

As for the revolt...... It's not that no one wants to resist, but as gods, as sons of gods, they all have blood from gods flowing in their bodies, and they have the power inherited from gods, and this kind of power can only be fought against by those outstanding demigods.

Therefore, according to the previous plan of the Baltic Empire, to control the Celtic islands on an economic basis and complete the goals they set before, then the English Channel is the target they must conquer, and those sea dragons and gods have become obstacles that they must clean.

It's okay for the gods, even if they have great power, but their IQ makes them look like beasts, they just need to crush them with their strength and crush them to pieces.

Because they are all sons of the gods, abandoned in the plane of the Lord, and hated by the gods, they will not be disgusted and punished by the gods for killing these gods.

Therefore, what really needs to be noted here is that those sea dragons, and the forces that the sea dragons say rule, compared to their peers in the Northlands, the sea areas where the sea dragons are ruled by one head have the power that can already be called small kingdoms.

At first, the sea dragons only wanted someone to serve them, but then they found that these weak guys gathered around them could save them a lot of trouble, whether in battle or in life, they could help them more or less.

However, although the sea dragons have organized a force that can barely be called a tribe and a kingdom, but the extent is over, the lazy and greedy nature of the dragon makes it impossible for them to continue to develop, coupled with the mutual checks and balances between the dragon and the dragon, so that this sea area has been unable to appear a unified force for a long time, forming a strong sea country like the North Sea Pirate Kingdom.

The sea dragons who live here have recently received news of the Baltic Empire's much-publicized trade with the Celtic Isles, and they know that ships laden with merchandise are sailing from the Baltic Sea into the North Sea, ready to enter the English Channel that they occupy.

This is not very secret news, on the one hand, the Baltic Empire is not deliberately concealing, on the other hand, the Celtic side is also building momentum, and there are some people who are planning to change the situation in the Celtic Islands at this time through the Baltic Empire's trade.

The sea dragons are ready to move, and the products produced by the Baltic Empire are all good things that everyone is vying for, and if they are plundered, they can be sold at a very high price.

Driven by their greed, the sea dragons began to organize and join forces on their own, and these cunning and greedy dragons learned from the passing merchant ships of the power of the Baltic Empire and the fate of those of their kindred who had entrenched themselves in the lands of Finland and Karelia.

They didn't think they were any stronger than the red and black dragons, and the only consolation was that they had the advantage of their home field, and the sea could greatly weaken the advantage of enemies from land and sky.

The sea dragons gathered, and so did the armies, standing in the way of the Baltic Empire's merchant ships, where they were going to attack and plunder the wealth that had been sent to them.

However, there has never been an impermeable wall in the world, and in the past three years, the development of the intelligence network of the Baltic Empire has exceeded everyone's imagination, even in the English Channel separated by a North Sea, there are spies from the Baltic Empire.

Before the sea dragons began to gather together, information about them was already on Alice and Semiramis's desk, along with the analysis of this information.

On the fleet of the Baltic Empire sailing on the North Sea, there are not many clouds in the blue sky, and the violent North Sea rarely shows its gentle side.

In the rooms of the largest ships in the fleet, which were supposed to be the captain's quarters, but were now vacated as conference halls, a group of people were whispering around a table on which were neatly placed pieces of papyrus.

In the four corners of the room, several burning incense burners emitted an invigorating incense that made the enclosed room seem a little less dreary.

There was a cold and grim atmosphere in the room, and those who were whispering had cold expressions on their faces, and they looked seriously at the papyrus on the table, and sometimes small conflicts broke out.

In this chamber converted from the captain's room, the spyus on the table was being discussed around the papyrus of the huge fleet, and they were carefully reading the information from the spies about the enemy that had appeared at the bottom of the sea ahead.

"Your Highness. ”

A captain looked at Alice, who was silent and closed her eyes slightly, and whispered.

"According to the news from the front, there are ten sea dragons standing in front of us, seven of which are prime-age sea dragons who have already stepped in, two are old dragons, and finally there is an extremely old dragon, plus the possible gods, as well as those armies under the dragon, such a force is already worth our attention. ”

For pure-blooded dragons, they naturally possess legendary powers when they reach adulthood, and the elder dragons and extremely old dragons above them have far more powerful powers than ordinary legends.

Especially the Extremely Old Dragon, which is a strong man who can be the commander of the dragon army of Attila, and can go head-to-head with Beowulf and have the upper hand.

If it weren't for the two magical weapons held in Beowulf's hands, there would have been a few confrontations that would not have only narrowly escaped death, but also the legend of the [Dragon Slayer] that followed.

"And in addition to the dragons and their armies, we need to be careful of the pirates, the daring madmen, who are like sharks in the sea, and will rush up and attack at the slightest smell of blood. ”

"If it's really going head-to-head, I think we need more ships, more troops, more legends. ”

"We already have enough power. ”

A captain next to him interrupted rudely and rudely.

It was a captain dressed like a pirate, and even though his clothes were very clean, there were some clues from his nose, ears, and the tattoos on the outside of his clothes.

"The Empire attaches great importance to this trade, and thanks to our intelligence services, we already have information about our enemies, how many of them there are, where they are ambushing, and what tactics they are prepared to use, not to mention that we have Your Highness. ”

"Our ships are made of the strongest wood, with the most advanced workmanship, each loaded with a large number of advanced weapons, and the captains of these ships, all of whom are the best of the best. ”

"Just ask me, in the face of an elite like us, who gathers the most elite maritime part of the entire Baltic Empire, what other enemy can take the victory from us?"

The navy of the Baltic Empire has been a long time, and after three years of development, it has become a behemoth, even the North Sea Pirate Kingdom, which is famous for its combat effectiveness, is not comparable to the Baltic Empire Navy in terms of scale and quantity.

If these sea dragons don't appear here this time, Alice and Semiramis also plan to find a target to fight as the Imperial Navy, no matter how much advantage they occupy in size and numbers, until they have accumulated enough experience through brutal battles, their combat effectiveness on paper will always be on paper.

Moreover, in order to open up a route with the Celtic Isles, and to really intervene in the market of the Celtic Isles, these pirates and dragons entrenched in the English Channel must be eradicated.

No, not just the Celtic Isles, normal commercial trade had to pass through the Channel of England if it wanted to trade with the South and the Central, and it had to be careful to avoid all the risks of entrenching here, and it was necessary to give a large part of the money obtained from trade to the dragons to avoid the threat of death.

These dragons and pirates entrenched in the Channel of England are like mosquitoes attached to people, greatly increasing the cost of communication and trade between the North and the South, and the Middle, making the North effectively isolated from the mainstream circle of the main plane.

So essentially, the dragons and pirates here are the enemies that the Baltic Empire must eradicate, and as long as the Baltic Empire still has the purpose of going from the Northland to the world, then this barrier to communication must be broken.

"Well, that's right. ”

"We need to make the English Channel peaceful and stable. ”

Alice concluded, and as she spoke, the others involuntarily stopped arguing and turned their eyes to her.

Because only a peaceful and stable environment is the best environment for development, and only when all chaos is killed can an orderly system be built normally.

"Whether it's dragons or gods, whether it's pirates or whatever, when they decide to appear in front of the Empire, stand in the way of the Empire's wheels, their fate is already sealed. ”

"However, there are many kinds of victories, a tragic victory in which one thousand enemies are wounded and eight hundred are self-inflicted, and a great victory in destroying the enemy unscathed, I want the latter one more, and I also hope that you can bring me such a victory, and do not disappoint my investment in you, and do not disappoint my expectations of you. ”

"Your Highness, you will not be disappointed. ”

All the captains present bowed their heads, half-knelt down, and spoke in a low but extremely firm voice.

It is not without reason that the Baltic Empire can stand out from the trilogy and become the most powerful one, just look at these captains and you can know that they have a heart to move forward and use it for challenges.

Even though they knew that the enemy in front of them was much stronger than themselves, and that it could be the end of their lives, their self-confidence did not waver in the slightest.

Is there any difference between a dragon and a roasted meat that is placed on the table?
