Chapter 665: Conquer the Foundation

The fall of the ancient dragon was not surprising at all, and when he decided to fight Alice as a dragon, such an outcome was already foregone without miracles and accidents.

The power of the ancient dragon is indeed very powerful, and it can even be said that it is the most powerful of all the dragons that Alice has ever encountered, but it is like a child holding an artifact, the ancient dragon is just rude, inefficient and uses such power, without any skills.

Some people may say that as long as the strength reaches a certain level, it can be achieved with strength, but what they don't know is that the term "breaking with strength" is actually a special technique, using one point of strength to use ten points of strength.

And like Gu Long, there is almost no skill to fight, it is indeed very enjoyable, making outsiders seem to be also bloody, difficult to themselves, this is also the mainstream of the Northland, especially the Scandinavians, their favorite way of fighting.

However, this way of fighting, there is no skill to speak of, although this ancient dragon is a little better, and will use some crude tactics, but in the face of a mature organized army, it still seems vulnerable.

Just like this battle, the preparation time was only one week, and a unified command could not be found, from the sea dragon above to the most ordinary fishmen below, they were all fighting on their own, and after being defeated, there was no way to get from the new organization, so they could only flee in all directions.

Such a rabble could not even be called an army, but only gathered, each of them was a single individual warrior, not even the army of Atila, although it seemed to be the same, but they at least had a unified command and were able to fight together.

After the ancient dragon was defeated and captured, the suspense of this war has been lost, and the remaining sea dragons who have not yet been defeated have no idea of turning the tide, they abandoned their dependents and began to break through to the outside of the battlefield.

As for the slightly weaker old dragons, they were already out of the battlefield at the moment of the defeat of the ancient dragons, and they were able to live to such an age, of course, they knew what kind of choice was best for them when to make.

None of the ancient dragons are Alice's opponents, and they will not change if they rush forward, in such a situation, their primary purpose is to save themselves, break away from the battlefield, and return to their lair.

Then they have time to think about whether to find a way to pay a little price to seek the Baltic Empire's non-accountability, or pack up their things and stay away from this sea area that can no longer resist the invasion of the Baltic Empire.

The dragons don't have any hometown to say, or where their treasure is, where is their hometown, and as for their dependents or something, they can continue to recruit them in the future.

And those abandoned sea clan dependents, some chose to break through, some threw down their weapons and surrendered on the spot, they had no loyalty to the sea dragon in the first place, let alone fight to the death for them.

Everyone was shocked by the outcome of the war, and the pirates who had lost their elite but remained on the sidelines were frightened, and after confirming the results of the battlefield, they all turned their ships and left as fast as they could.

After the defeat of the Sea Dragon and the Baltic Empire, no one is mentioning the matter of entering the battlefield to benefit the fisherman, and the Sea Dragon United Army that invited them to fight like that was easily wiped out, and with their strength to participate, it will only be like a stone ox sinking into the water, without the slightest wave.

After this battle, the problem of the English Channel was completely solved, and neither the sea dragon nor the pirates were out of fashion, and they did not have the courage to stand in the way of the Baltic Empire.

As for the gods, it was just a small matter, they were crazy, but as long as they were far away from their area, those gods would not take the initiative to attack the Imperial fleet.

When the empire is free and needs to launch an external war to divert internal contradictions and digest the indigestible goods produced internally, it can conduct a small-scale war to solve the problem of divine iniquity, just like the previous dragon slaying war.

After the war, what needs to be dealt with is to clean up the battlefield, especially as the victor's side, it is very necessary to clean the battlefield and get the spoils of the victor.

As for the losses, of course, there are losses, and the unscathed wars are a minority after all, and in this war of less than a day, the fleet of the Baltic Empire lost thirty merchant ships, and at least three thousand people were either killed or missing.

And the war casualties at the bottom of the sea were not much better, fifteen dragons were buried in this sea area, and three sea dragons were seriously injured by the opponent's death-defying counterattack, and it would take at least three months to return to normal combat effectiveness.

However, compared to these losses, the results achieved can be described as brilliant, including the ancient dragon defeated by Alice, a total of four sea dragons were captured alive, and the corpses of three sea dragons were also dismembered, and a large amount of valuable materials could also be obtained after dismemberment.

Of the sea dragon's dependents, excluding the dead and a few who escaped, about 20,000 people chose to surrender, and the largest number of them were the fishmen, accounting for about two-thirds of the number.

Among the remaining ones, except for a small number of Krakens and Mermaids, the others are relatively common, whale people, shark people and other races, although they do not have much talent for spellcasters, but they are still useful in combat.

What's more, these sea tribes are all native to the English Channel, and they have a deep understanding of this sea, which can bring great convenience to the empire.

In the future, if the Baltic Empire intends to incorporate the English Channel into its territory, then it is extremely advantageous to have these surrendered Sea Tribes, and it can be easily converted into the basis of the Baltic Empire's rule.

Wounded warriors and sea beasts were gathered together and treated by specialized physicians and spellcasters, while those who were not injured and still retained their fighting power began to clean up the battlefield after a short rest.

There is no need to think too much about the loot or something, the most valuable trophies are those sea dragons, sea beasts and surrendered sea clans, and other rudimentary weapons or something, which are not worth the effort to collect.

What really needs to be paid attention to is the wrecked ships, those ships are loaded with goods, and if you don't salvage those goods quickly, and soak them in the sea for a long time, those goods will break.

"Take a day off in this area. ”

Back in the cabin, Alice, who had changed her clothes, came to the deck and gave such an order.

It is hard for anyone to believe that such a petite and weak girl can defeat a powerful ancient dragon in a head-to-head confrontation, which is almost a great deed that can be recorded in a heroic epic.

"Let our reconnaissance team carefully explore the surrounding seas, don't give those remnants of the defeated army a chance, and pay attention to the activities of those gods. ”

Gods, Alice feels like a bigger trouble than Gu Long, and if she can, she doesn't want to fight those gods, because no matter how disliked and disgusted they are by the gods, they are all rebels of the gods.

The rebels are also children, and they also have their parents' blood in their bodies, and if they are simply defeated or even killed by a mere mortal, it will also be a shame for the gods that will be remembered for a long time.

Soon, the Harpy Scouts departed from the ships, they were the best-preserved of all the troops, because in the previous battle, the environment was full of dark clouds and lightning, and it was pointless to let them go out to fight.

The harpy circled the sky, singing beautiful songs that only they could understand, and then divided into squads and flew in all directions.

At the same time, several scout troops of the Sea Clan under the surface of the sea also dispersed in all directions, the sea is not like the sea, the environment is much more complicated, and even the enemy will lurk under the beach at the bottom of the sea, waiting for the arrival of prey.

The battlefield is no longer noisy just now, the soldiers are silent in the process of cleaning the battlefield, and after the frenzy of battle, the soldiers often fall into grief.

They are mourning the death of their comrades, but they are also rejoicing that they have survived a tragic battlefield and succeeded in a brilliant victory.

Occasionally, there are enemies who have not died hiding among the corpses, trying to seize the last chance to give these warriors the final blow, and use their last lives to die with the enemy.

This is the most dangerous thing to do in cleaning up the battlefield, because you can't be sure if the people with their eyes closed, their chests unheaving, their bodies full of weapons, and their wounds are lifeless corpses.

Just as in the city of Yaat, the army led by Siegmund fought with the Attera army, using this hidden method, the city almost became the blood mill of the Attera army, and countless Attera warriors died in humiliation in the sneak attack of the Yaat, and even the dragon was not spared, and was shot down by the elves in this way.

Thankfully, the battle was almost one-sided, and the Sea Clans had no such thing as loyalty to their masters, and they had no intention of serving the Sea Dragons.

"Any useful information?"

In the evening, back in the cabin, enjoying the freshly cooked food made from the dragon's ingredients, Alice asked faintly.

"Yes, Your Highness. ”

The figure hidden in the shadows walked out, dressed in a decent maid's outfit, with neat steps, and a trace of elegance and nobility that could not be concealed in his unhurried movements.

This is a maid who has undergone rigorous training and is dedicated to serving Alice and others, and is absolutely loyal, mastering all the techniques that a maid needs to master, and possessing strong combat ability.

"From the captives, we have information about the nests and locations of the sea dragons. ”

The maid reported in a clear and beautiful voice without any fluctuations, they were tools, tools to dedicate everything to Alice and others, and believers with the interests and orders of Alice and others as the highest criterion.

"Send a few ships and some sea tribes to clean up the lair of the sea dragons who have been killed and captured by us, the spoils of the empire cannot be seized by others at will. ”

These sea dragons, especially the ancient dragon, have lived for so long in the Channel of England, a communication artery linking the northern and southern seas, and in that time, it is not known how much coveted wealth they have amassed, even for the wealthy Baltic Empire.

Except for a few people who do it for honor, for justice, and for revenge, the vast majority of people slay dragons for profit, because every successful dragon slaying can obtain the wealth accumulated by the dragon over the long years.

Of course, most of these people who embarked on this path have become white bones buried in the wild, don't look at the dragon looks so vulnerable in front of the Baltic Empire, that is also the Baltic Empire, in the eyes of ordinary mortals, the dragon is truly invincible and powerful.

Later, in order to wait for the troops who went to loot the second batch of booty, the fleet waited in this sea area for two more days, I don't know if it was because of the storm caused by the sea dragon on the day of the battle, the weather in this sea area became very mild, the wind was mild, and there were no dark clouds and no rain.

Under normal circumstances, these unprotected ships laden with all sorts of wealth were the pirates' favorite targets, but now they were so frightened that they turned away when they saw the ships of the Baltic Empire Navy from afar.

In addition, during these three days, the elite pirates who had burned their ships and were stranded on the island were also rescued, and as soon as they were rescued, they were informed of the outcome of the battle between the sea dragon and the Baltic Empire navy.

Then, the angry flames that burned in the bottom of my heart dissipated, and even the power of the sea dragon was destroyed and destroyed, even if they were added, the balance of victory would not change in any way.

Only then will they understand what the bitter cries of their counterparts from the North Sea and the Baltic Sea are all about, and that such an enemy with a disparity in strength will also use tactics, a force that they simply cannot resist.

In particular, there is not even a single person among them who can command the whole army, and they cannot unite into a force like those pirates in the North Sea, and most likely get the same ending as those pirates who once roamed the Baltic Sea, and now they have completely disappeared from the people's memory.
