Chapter 422: Hemingway Island
Hemingway Island is the largest island in the Bering Islands off the coast, rich in precious minerals, and a wide variety of plants, minerals can be used by alchemists to make witchcraft, plants can be used by alchemists to make potions, so a long time ago, this place existed as an important stronghold of the Dupont family, the island has been built with complete building facilities, and because it is in the open sea, there are also high-standard armament systems here, which are enough for the Dupont family to fight a protracted war on Hemingway Island.

Since the Sea Clan officially joined the war between the Duponts and the Portman family four years ago, the open sea area of the Bering Islands has become more and more severe. It has also become increasingly difficult for the DuPont family to maintain their previous strategic retreat, especially Hemingway Island, which is an important stronghold, and if it fails, it will be difficult for most of the islands in the open sea area to hold on.
Therefore, the Dupont family must hold on to Hemingway Island, otherwise once the Portman family takes it, they will be able to directly attack the family's hinterland.
Because of this, the two families fought several tragic battles on Hemingway Island, including the Dimanor landing battle, which had a mortality rate of more than eighty percent, and the Rambo Blitz launched by the Duman family in order to fight against the Portman family who had just landed, this battle almost made the Portman family collapse, but they soon recovered with the help of the Sea Clan, and also launched the Battle of Nofa, which made the Dupont family lose almost half of the land on Hemingway Island, in order to regain the land, The DuPont family relied on their familiarity with Hemingway Island to launch a sneak attack on the Battle of Steel Zhuzhen, and after seriously injuring the Portman family's important stronghold, the DuPont family took the opportunity to launch the Battle of Midway, but because of improper personal leadership and the Portman family's sworn counterattack, this battle did not reap the results it deserved. In the end, the DuPont family and the Portman family launched the famous Battle of Hemingway Island, which completely established the characteristics of the war on Hemingway Island, and the strategy of both sides shifted from active attack to passive defense, and they began a protracted war that lasted for several years and two years on a sea island mountain range on Hemingway Island.
In short, the Hemingway Island War made the two families completely realize their mistakes, and the Portman family saw that the Dupont family was by no means a soft bone that could be bullied casually, and even with the help of the Sea Clan, they only took a useless island; The DuPonts also discovered the difficulties of the Portman family and the Hai family, and the limited state of losing land but not resources as they had done before had been lost, and they had to mobilize the entire family to join the war.
Although this family war is not over yet, it is only the first half, even on the wizarding continent, it is also a war worthy of going down in history, the two families in a small pattern, let the entire wizarding world see the complexity and tragedy of the war, which is completely different from the previous experimental wars around a certain resource point, I am afraid that only from the battle of annihilation of the hundred races a long time ago can see more tragic than this.
Even after a four-year war, Hemingway Island is still beautiful and beautiful.
From the long golden sands of the southeast bay in the Greenland Mountains behind Hemingway Island, to the valley vegetation in the Greenland Mountains, to the highest peak of Hemingway Island's caravanserais, Mount Langma, Phil knows everything by heart.
He only set foot on Hemingway Island after the protracted war, before that, because of the severity of the war, he and Rodney were stationed on the rear island, responsible for the logistics of the Dupont family, of course, his job is to complete the refining of the merman wand as soon as possible, responsible for their refining work, and occasionally when the war on Hemingway Island enters a tragic state, he will also be responsible for the duties of a pharmacist, because at that time there will inevitably be countless wounded and sick patients sent to the rear island, Whether it is a healing potion, a mana recovery potion, or a mental power burning potion that stimulates a surge in strength, it is in a state of large shortages, and the team of pharmacists led by Rodney cannot supply such a large quantity, so they have to ask Phil for help.
After Hemingway Island entered the protracted war, the logistics could be moved to Hemingway Island, and here, at Phil's special request, Freeton has become the leader of a wizard apprentice team, and he miraculously survived the front lines of several tragic battles, which is absolutely very rare among wizard apprentices. But because of this, both Phil and Flitton were valued by the DuPont family. When the Dupont family supported the Hemingway Island War, Torre and others also came to Phil's side a year after the war began, among them, Larrell was in charge of the contact with the Dupont family, Torre was in charge of Freeton's logistics, and Eli and Pu were in charge of Phil's life and refining tools and medicines.
In the past four years, Phil has already completed the DuPont family and his initial share of the transaction, and now mainly deals with the DuPont family with a small share of the merman wand for his research during this period, the war is the most able source of inspiration for the refiner, in these four years, his refining level has gradually matured, and even the merman wand has completed several upgrades, but the one sold to the Dupont family is still the original kind, but it is such a generation of merman wands that also played a great role in this war.
And because of his relationship with Rodney, coupled with his experience in alchemy during the war, Phil's alchemy level did not fall too far, especially after he and Rodney used the cooperation to develop a potion that could be used in the war, Phil also had a lot of ideas for developing new potions.
Four years have passed, and it has been eleven years since Phil entered the wizarding world, and Phil is no longer what it used to be, but for the entire wizarding world, the change is not very big, and the Black Rope Tower Academy has fallen silent after experiencing the original revenge, and the entire dark wizard area has also fallen silent.
The White Wizard area is a little unpeaceful, and as the main force responsible for fighting against the Dark Wizard, they have also paid a lot in the past four years.
But those had nothing to do with Phil now, and he was now led by Flitton, leaving the southeast bay and heading towards the Greenland Mountains, through scenic valleys and up the stairs of Mount Langma, where the wind was bitterly cold, but not so much for those who were here.
Thomas, who had been a first-class wizard's apprentice for eight years, looked back at Phil.
"Long time no see."
