Overseas archipelago.

One by one, the warships were ready to set sail, and I don't know when a mist appeared on the sea, and Sauron's figure stood quietly on the sea. There were many coolies on the docks who were responsible for carrying goods, and the city of Modo now had nearly 5,000 slaves, and the labor force was relatively abundant. Sauron's gaze was fixed on the distance, and from time to time he closed his eyes to sense something, occasionally falling into deep thought, and the whole person seemed to be integrated into some special force.

The Advanced Arcanist didn't give him much of a boost, but the Arcanist's potential was unquestionable.

These are two of the most useful specialties at the moment:

"Arcane Runes [Specialty]: Arcanists have mysterious runes in their possession, which can be used to craft and strengthen weapons and equipment. Arcane runes are quite stable, which makes the Arcanist more successful when crafting zuò extraordinary equipment. Arcane runes can have special effects in many ways, it can be used for spell refinement and magical devices, and many advanced arcane runes can be easily crafted into legendary equipment. ”

Arcane runes.

A construct rune similar to a spell circuit, its greatest use is to make items.

Sauron's alchemy ability is not enough, and although he currently has more than twenty arcane runes, it may be difficult to make a piece of extraordinary equipment. However, Goliath is a master at this, and after coming into contact with these arcane runes, she immediately found a way to perfect the 'Gies Blade', and according to her own estimates, if nothing else, she was able to elevate the 'Gies Blade' to the status of a legendary item.

A wizard who can craft zuò legendary items is quite valuable!

Sauron naturally gave his full support to this, and directly dispatched more than 100,000 Jindeler to Golia's disposal, ensuring that she could buy the corresponding materials from the Witches' Council at any time.

If he could, he would like to see the finished product of the legendary item as much as possible.

The second specialty is [Arcane Counter], which is different from [Spell Counter] in that it is a very powerful combat specialty.

"Arcane Counter [Native Ability]: Arcanists understand the construction of magic webs better than other spellcasters, and they are able to essentially counter spells cast by their enemies. Although this requires a high level of intelligence and understanding, if the countermeasures are successful. The Arcanist can directly reflect the enemy's spells back, the effect is equivalent to [Small Spell Deflection], and the feat's counterattack can reflect spells of level 1-3 to the caster. ”

[Note: Advanced Arcane Counter Pre-Ability.] 】

………………

Reflection spells.

That's right! This is the Arcanist's counter-ability, and when successful, it directly reflects a level 1-3 spell to the caster!

Sauron is not very high in intelligence, but with the improvement of the god realm, his basic attributes can be further increased, and the current middle and low-level wizards have a high chance of success in launching an arcane counter, and if they encounter a siege, his arcane countermeasure ability may be able to surprise the enemy!

Sauron has 2 Godhead points, and after getting it, he can get all attributes +1 again.

If that's the foundation. It is not impossible for Sauron to increase his intelligence to 30 points in the future.

"Let's go!"

The sea broke open beneath Sauron's feet, and the ghost ship Dead Whisperer burst out of the waves, a black mast rising from behind him, and the undead of the drowning on the deck looked hideous, and their bodies were surrounded by a black aura.

This is the power of death!

The Ghost Ship Dead Whisperer mutates further in the killing, and the abilities of the Undrowned Undead gradually increase as more Revenants join.

As an undead reaniment, the Dead Whisperer has touched the edge of the legend.

It's hard to imagine!

What kind of abilities will a ghost ship have if it is promoted to the realm of legends.

One warship after another set sail and left directly from the port of Mordor, Sauron's actions unintentionally attracted the attention of many people. But speculation is now all over what he intends to do.

………………

Angry Sand Island.

A few days passed, and the island had been docked with warships since Sauron's order, and now the harbor was full of warships. And when Sauron's Dead Whisperer appeared, one by one the warships followed the ghost ship towards the eastern route. Hundreds of warships stretched for more than ten miles, advancing along the eastern route in an oppressive attitude. Because of the pirates' big moves. The entire southern kingdom was on edge, and many principalities were stationed in port cities, on the lookout for the pirates to land on land.

Dragon's Head Battleship.

Sauron glanced at the others in front of him. casually spread out the map in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "Here, here, here." The Onyx River is the only river we have access to the interior, most of which stop near the mouth of the sea, and the others lead the elite into the interior with me. ”

Onyx River.

Like the Yangtze River, it is one of the largest rivers in the southern region and the only one that can be navigated by large warships.

It was impossible for Sauron to give up the superior landing operation on the water, so he could only follow the Onyx River to Fallen Leaf City.

"Your Excellency."

The half-elf first mate's expression was a little puzzled, and he said in a low voice: "Are we making such a big move just to enter the mainland?" ”

Sauron has yet to specify the specific mission.

If other pirate kings had done this, I'm afraid many people would have thrown off their burdens and quit, but Sauron was different, his reputation among pirates was too high.

Even though no one knew why he gave such an order, the pirate leaders still carried it out honestly.

"Of course not!"

Sauron glanced at the pirate leaders present, his eyes swept over the pirate leaders of the one-eyed dragon, Scarface, giants, etc., and seeing that they were all puzzled, the corners of Sauron's mouth couldn't help but hook up a smile, and said slowly: "We're here to pick up people!" ”

Pick up people?

Hearing Sauron's words, the expressions of the pirate leaders present became even more confused.

Who the hell is picking it up?

Who needs such a big battle to meet it? This time, they dispatched more than 500 warships, and the pirates mobilized more than 10,000 people, and all men and horses were on standby on the road, ready to respond at any time!

Such a big move!

Is it just to pick people up? What kingdom did they think Lord Sauron was going to attack!

Although they still couldn't figure it out, it didn't prevent the pirate leaders from continuing their mission, and soon the first mate of the half-elves led the dragonhead warship and the Third Fleet to stand by at the mouth of the Onyx River, while the other pirate leaders led elite troops to follow Sauron into the inland region. The pirates of the East had already greeted each other, and the nobles of the southern region were a little panicked, not knowing why such a large army of pirates had suddenly gathered here.

This incident even alarmed many powerful organizations, as well as the churches of gods and spirits in various places.

It's just that in the current special period, no one dares to act rashly, these pirates seem to be planning to go up the Onyx River, as long as they don't attack the nearby cities, it is estimated that no one dares to provoke Sauron.

So.

In this way, a large group of pirates swaggered along the Agate River, gradually approaching in the direction of Fallen Leaf City.

………………

Fallen Leaf City.

As the orc army retreated, the ruined city regained a glimmer of life.

However, although the orc army had retreated for nearly a week, the tense atmosphere in the city had not eased in the slightest. Because after the battle, the forces of Fallen Leaf City were divided into three factions.

The first faction is the druids, and the number of half-elf druids has always been quite large, and many of them are high-ranking and powerful.

As for how Deciduous City should deal with the Orc attack next, the Druids' idea is to ask for help from the Elves and the Druid Order, and use their strength to repel the Orc attack. However, at the beginning of the siege, the elves did not send troops at all, although the druid organization gave some help, but recently they were busy looking for traces of the devil, and did not give much support at all.

Therefore, this faction does not have a high voice.

The second faction is the traditional nobles of Fallen Leaf City, who are the backbone of Fallen Leaf City and the main force to defend the city. The power of the nobles was severely damaged by the dragon's ransacking of the vaults of Deciduous City after the battle, and most of them were reluctant to give up their personal possessions to help the city tide over the difficult situation, due to the lack of military pay and supplies, the morale of the army in Deciduous City was currently low. The aristocrats have been active lately, on the one hand they are busy pulling together the huddles, and on the other hand they are busy accusing the last faction of forces.

The last force is the church.

Or rather, after the end of the siege of the half-orcs, the priest of the 'Holy Spirit Priest' - the former 'god of half-elves and wanderers' by Milan's side was quickly gathered.

There aren't many of these pastors!

Many of the people who fought on the front line to protect civilians in siege warfare were killed in close to 30%.

But!

They had a high reputation among the common people, especially when the orcs were besieging the city, and Milan summoned the dragon to relieve the siege. Countless people saw the dragons hovering in the sky, and trembled under their dragon power, so the influence of the church was restored in a very short time.

A church that has lasted for hundreds or thousands of years cannot disappear so lightly.

Since the deity who came down calls himself the 'god of half-spirits,' he is the new successor, and the church is rightfully required to serve this deity.

The original system was not destroyed.

The biggest change was the 'Holy Spirit Pastor' - Milan became the current supreme leader of the Church, and the status of the Divine Elect was much higher than that of other pastors before the gods had clearly ordained a new patriarch.

This third force was also the source of the chaos in Fallen Leaf City back then!

Because the Holy Spirit Priest Milan conveyed the first will of the gods on the first day after his awakening.

"An even greater catastrophe is coming! Only by leaving Deciduous City and moving along the river can you avoid these disasters. The gods will arrange for someone to pick them up, and eventually they will go to live overseas in safety on a big ship! ……”
