A black silk flag hung from the top of the battleship's mast, and the salty sea breeze blew through the broadside, and the wooden hull swayed with the wind with a creaking sound. (Please search, or enter directly to see the latest chapter)
"Fearless goblin warriors, this is a life-and-death war, a long war that will end with all those hairless monkeys. Goblin warriors, without compromise, without weakness, without mercy, under the great banner of the Second Goblin Empire, exterminate the opponents and all humanity who dare to resist. Let's take up arms and fight, eradicate the human exiles, and let the lame prophecy go up in smoke, and the world will eventually be ruled by the great Second Empire, and the Great 6 will be ours. Long live the Empire! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Senate! I, Modo Blackwater, order you to attack! β
On the rough blue sea, the wind of Mana shook the Black Earth Waning Moon Battle Banner hoisted by the Goblin Flagship, and under this banner, the low whistling sound of crimson gold wire-trimmed streamers swaying in the wind was like the low roar of a beast trapped in a cage.
On the deck of the battleship, the goblin soldiers lined up in a phalanx were dressed in uniform inlaid iron leather armor, and their exaggerated spired helmets were decorated with polished metal sheets that reflected the harsh sunlight. Dressed in gilded fish scale armor and with a murderous aura in his yellow eyes, the Great Goblin Commander Modo Blackwater reads aloud the edict signed by the Senate and the Emperor. The provocative preaching won the tsunami-like cheers of the mountains and the eyes of the goblin soldiers eager for merit and honor.
Encouraged by the passion of militarism, soldiers who regard battle as the highest glory can only show their value on the battlefield, and cutting off the enemy's head and soaking their boots with blood with body temperature are the highest honors belonging to this bloodthirsty army.
After a heroic declaration of war, Fleet Commander Modo Blackwater was not as scrappy as his men, and his status was enough to reap some not-so-optimistic gossip. Modo Blackwater has the confidence to annihilate his enemies, and those who can be killed with his sword are not something to be afraid of, but the unseen and untouched potential threat is another matter.
The Second Goblin Empire did not hesitate to mobilize its troops to send multiple pursuit fleets to hunt down the remnants of the Human Light Dynasty in the Seven Seas, and the main combat targets were those human exiled nobles who had escaped from the Lord 6. Not far away, the colony of Count Flu, Tahuna, was also on this list, and the hardest part of the battle was how to complete the blockade of the island before the fugitive human nobles knew it. Once this was done, the rest seemed to Commander Modo Blackwater to be simple, a simple massacre.
Already encircled by the goblin fleet, the climate is like summer all year round, the coconut groves are lush, and the beach reflects the blue sea and blue sky, the scenery of Tahuna Island is as beautiful as a picture, this remote island far from the main 6 is neither a strategic location, nor an important source of resources, tropical fruits and a small amount of sea driftwood used for commodity export, compared to the countless rich islands scattered on the sea of stars, this product is not so much a special product as a joke. If it weren't for the recent rapid collapse of the Bright Dynasty and the chain reaction that followed, this isolated enclave island would not have been affected by the war.
The total area of Tahuna Island is no more than the size of an ordinary city, and the island is surrounded by warm turquoise waters near the shore, and from a distance the island looks like a green leaf suspended in the void, so beautiful and so fragile, like a mirage that may be disillusioned at any moment.
The winds of Mana, which blow from the open sea, are also habitually called "trade winds" and "trade winds" by seafarers, and the winds of Mana that arrive on time will bring an endless stream of merchant fleets. Today, the good old days are all reminisced, the port city of Biton, which occupies nearly a fifth of the island, has been burned into a purgatory on earth, as the goblin fleet sends small boats to the coast, and the asphalt shells fired by large-caliber mortar cannons are spreading the fire of death with the help of the wind.
At this moment, the black pillars of smoke generated by the city fire were writhing wildly in the air, and the thick pillars of smoke like dragons and snakes dancing wildly were quite obscuring the sky.
The dying-out port city is like an ant's nest dug up, and ships ranging from brigs to fishing boats and sampans are scrambling to escape from the harbor as people try to get out of the war-torn land, but it will not be easy for the fugitives to do so, as they must first break through a blockade set up by a goblin fleet on the outskirts.
In this clean-up operation, the commander of the big goblin, Modo Blackwater, received an order to kill all the suspects, whether they are humans or the inhabitants of other races, without discrimination, and to use such brutal killing methods only to eliminate the future troubles forever.
Although the Second Goblin Empire, which has always been stubborn, never acknowledges the possibility of prophecies from distant times coming true, the words and phrases that are wrapped in an ominous aura seem to have infinite magic, like invisible ghosts hovering in the dark night, haunting the goblins all the time. When they dream back in the middle of the night, the prophecy full of dangerous elements can't help but make the bigwigs tremble and even sweat, even though they repeatedly declare themselves fearless warriors.
No ruler has ever been afraid of catastrophic prophecies, whether they are true or not, and the spread of such news is itself a threat to the unstable ruling order of the Second Goblin Empire, so decisive action must be taken, and the best way to do this is to eliminate the breeding ground for prophecy.
In the chaotic and noisy harbor where people are fleeing, a brig with white sails mingles with thousands of fleeing ships and sails towards the open sea. Although the appearance of the brig that escaped from the many refugee ships was not impressive, the materials and workmanship used inside were absolutely of a first-class standard, and the reason could not be simpler, this ship was built by the former Earl of Fulu to carry the family members to escape when he realized that the war was not good for the Bright Dynasty, but he did not have the opportunity to use it in the end.
The taciturn human sailors, whose faces were calm and steady, moved like parts on a machine, cooperated and controlled the sailing ship in tacit understanding, and soon the brig, which could only be classified as a medium-sized merchant ship, rushed to the blockade line set up by the goblin fleet.
"Open fire, sink the target, and leave no one behind."
A grim gaze swept over the scattered refugee ships, and Commander Modo Blackwater gave orders to his subordinates, and a solid black flag was hoisted from the top of the goblin flagship's mast. Originally derived from the piracy industry, this particular flag was later used by pirates, and almost everyone who begged for a living on the beach knew what it meant, which was to kill them all!
"Tom ......"
"Hmm! My head hurts! Where is this? β
In the rumbling cannon, the groggy Luo Zhengdao opened his eyes, only to feel that the blood vessels in the temple were constantly beating, as if he had been cared for by Professor Yang, who had never been interested in his own interests. With his mind in his mind comparable to 10,000 grass and mud horses jubilantly passing by, this uncomfortable Cheng dΓΉ was no less than a severe hangover, and he even suspected that he might die violently at any time.
"It's all right! It really scared the hell out of me just now. β
He suddenly felt a strange cool breath on his forehead, and the severe headache symptoms of Tossing Luo Zhengdao's desire to die were also slightly relieved, and later, he heard a delicate woman's voice in his ear, and he was really startled.
"It's okay, I have a terrible headache......"
The woman's voice was tactful and crisp, but this kind of language Luo Zhengdao had never heard before, and he couldn't tell which foreign language it was at all. Immediately, Luo Zhengdao thought that he actually understood, and subconsciously responded in the same language, this strange fact was chilling, what kind of natural event is this? Luo Zhengdao, whose thoughts had not yet been clarified, was so nervous that the muscles of his whole body tensed, and he couldn't even say a complete sentence.
Luo Zhengdao, who was stunned, asked him, and seeing that he never responded, Vena Dubov, a half-elf beauty who was kneeling on one knee, poured the holy sesame oil in the crystal bottle into her palm again, and carefully applied it repeatedly on the forehead of the young man whose body was still twitching.
What Luo Zhengdao didn't notice was the two men still standing next to him, one was the ship doctor Drake King, and the other was the boatswain Faure Chopin, the two of them were retainers who had followed the family of Count Fu Lu for generations, and they could be regarded as the trusted and important henchmen of the old earl, so the old earl was relieved to entrust his only son to them.
When Luo Zhengdao finally relaxed his sore and stiff muscles and opened his eyes again, he was frightened when he looked at the honor of the two brothers in front of him, and his face was too cruel.
The whole face is just like a crab that has been flattened by a kick, the body is short and fat to the extreme, and the ship doctor Drake, who is suspected of having dwarf blood, is looking at Luo Zhengdao with concern, standing behind him, Faure Chopin is not as good as the former, it is simply a version of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's two gods. If you want to say that a person has red skin, even if you have a thick beard, you can only see the nose and eyes through the cracks, is such an exaggerated atavism too much? In addition, one of Chopin's eyes wears an eye patch, which looks quite similar to the pirate leader in the old black and white movie.
"Who are you? Your ears ......"
Having just gotten rid of the cruel torture of periodic headaches, Luo Zhengdao opened his eyes and saw two strong men poking there like two generals, and then his eyes turned to the half-elf beauty who was smiling and looking at him, and he couldn't help but exclaim.
The half-elf Vena Dubov has a slender and silky dark green hair, at least a meter long, and a pair of white ear tips suddenly emerge from the soft silk, which is indeed eye-catching. It's not an arc like a normal human, but an angular pair of pointed ears that those familiar with the New World know that she has inherited elven blood from one of her parents.
"Huh! Will, are you hurting your head? β
Listening to Luo Zhengdao's obviously incoherent questioning, Vina Dubov muttered, and then she turned back to discuss someone's strange condition with Humpty Dumpty's ship doctor in a low voice with a worried face.
"Beware, enemy ship shelling!"
Suddenly, a terrible cry came from the deck above his head, and immediately after, Luo Zhengdao felt the hull under his feet also tremble violently.
"Boom-"
With the loud sound of the hull wood breaking, the bulkhead of the infirmary was instantly torn to pieces by the huge impact of the stone bullets, and countless pieces of wood and wood swept past Luo Zhengdao's eyes, followed by a strong blast of gas that pushed him backwards. Defenseless against the terrible scene in front of him, Luo Zhengdao hit his head on the solid wood table behind him. Fighting a martial arts mastery who had never practiced anything like Iron Head Gong in his life, he was suddenly hit hard by external forces, and Luo Zhengdao fainted at the first time. At this time, the last thought that came to his mind was "When did Lao Tzu participate in cosp1ay?" No, I'm not downloading mobile games at home? Can you cross this way? Nima, it's so unscientific! β
