Chapter 463: Ocean Age
The contradictions within the Bend Alliance are secondary, and the greater security threat to Baigull Harbor comes from the outside world, from the group of pirates entrenched on the Giant Demon Island. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 In fact, not only Baigull Harbor, but the entire Bend League city-states in the North Bay region had to pay tribute to Kraken Furmor, the pirate queen of the Giant Demon Island.
Giant Demon Island is a pirate gang stronghold led by the "North Sea Monster" Kraken, formerly known as "Bagel Island", located near the mouth of Baiou Harbor, controlling the strait arteries of the North Bay in and out of the Meteorite Ocean, and merchant ships must pass through this strait, and the Giant Demon Island Pirate Group is a sharp sword hanging over the heads of all merchant ships, which always poses a huge threat to the trade of the North Sea.
Roland had long heard of the Kraken's name, one of the few legendary powerhouses in the Far East, a descendant of Balor Furmore and a fanatical follower.
Balor Fermore is the Lord God of the Giants of the Depths, the god of storms and tsunamis, and the first Balor Flame Demon born in the multiverse. Before becoming a god, he was the first monarch of the Ocean Empire.
Long before the Dragon Age, most of the planet's land was below sea level, and Balor Fermor and his giants ruled almost the entire world, and below the surface of the sea were the empire's borders, and most of the creatures on the land and islands were subject to the feet of the Deep Sea Emperor, who had to pay tribute.
Balor Fermor's reign spanned centuries in what humanity has known as the "Age of the Seas." Balor Fermore was not content to be below the gods, but was only a mortal monarch, and later took advantage of the war between the old and new gods to carry out a bold and shameless speculation, betraying the old gods and switching to the new gods, and finally succeeded in becoming a god, becoming the spokesperson of the Abyssal Will in the Celestial Universe of Vares.
However, his speculation also had a negative effect, and although he had a place in the New Gods as a "Belt Party", his status was not high, because the gods were deeply disturbed by his position - if he could betray his former allies without mercy, who could guarantee that he would keep his promises to his new allies?
The "King of the Deep Sea Giants" was promoted to the "God of the Deep Sea Giants", but he did not become the main god of the ocean god system as he wished, except for the deep sea giants who represented his own race, he only got the two relatively unpopular priesthoods of "Tsunami" and "Storm", and stopped at medium divine power.
To Balor Vermore's embarrassment, his successor failed to lead the Giants of the Deep to expand their authority on earth, and instead went into decline.
First of all, Perro directly intervened in Vares's climate with his powerful divine powers, causing the sea to retreat, the continent to reappear under the sun, the rapid growth of life on land, and the reduction of the territory of the giants of the depths.
Then the two sons of the dragon gods, Tiamat and Bahamut, rose rapidly in Vares, and the dragons completely destroyed the rule of the Vermore Empire on land, driving the deep sea giants back to the depths of the ocean, and the Ocean Age came to an end, and a new page in Vares's history - the Dragon Age.
However, Balor Fermore and his followers were not reconciled, and from the Age of the Dragon to the Arcane Age to the Age of Light, the Giants of the Deep took the opportunity to expand their influence in the coastal region whenever there was a major upheaval on land.
The priests of Furmore worked tirelessly to preach and proclaim that one day the final judgment would come to the earth, that storms, tsunamis and floods would wash away all the sins of the land, and that the age of the sea would return to the earth, and that only those who believed in Balor Fermore would be able to avoid drowning in the great flood that would flood all land, and that day Balor Fermor's followers on land would usher in the most glorious redemption - to be reborn as true giants of the deep sea under the protection of divine grace, and to gain eternal freedom in the ocean.
Kraken is a high-ranking Fermore priest, and she is also a purebred deep sea giant with the blood of Furmore in her body, with two forms: giant form and semi-purgatory deep sea squid, the latter form is the legendary "North Sea Monster" and "The End of the Seas".
Roland knew before he killed Grande that he had such a big mother, and he also knew that Kraken was more terrible than her son, so wouldn't it be like looking for death if he dared to come to North Bay?
In fact, Roland had a contingency plan in place before he set off. There are also two "advanced teleportation techniques" in the "Blasphemous Star", and the "Scepter of Protection" given by Beowulf is in his storage bag, and he can take his companions to slip away at any time when the situation is not good; The "Legendary Death Talisman" given by his father is worn close to him, and even if the Kraken suddenly kills him, he can also use the "Accidental Resurrection Technique" stored in the talisman to gain a second life.
In addition, the woodcarved badge that Valentina gave him was a constant 9-ring "Escape Technique", and set an order in advance: as soon as Kraken approached and posed a threat to him, the Exit Technique would activate itself, teleporting him to the "Harvest Ring" headquarters, Valentina's private residence. The boudoir of the legendary Grand Druid and Golden Dragon is definitely one of the safest places in the world, and even a legendary banshee like Kraken would not dare to trespass.
Of course, if Kraken didn't take action himself, but sent his men to harass him, Valentina's badge would not be activated, and Roland would have to rely on his own strength to solve the trouble, so he was curious now, what elite soldiers did Kraken have?
"Uncle Mikhail, since the members of the White Gull Harbor Coast Guard are all extraordinary professionals, and there is a powerful fleet, and the 'Storm Lord' Lady Lyuboff Yangbo herself has a strength close to the legendary level, this can't eliminate the pirate gang entrenched in the Giant Demon Island, and have to pay tolls to the other party, could it be that in addition to the pirate queen of Kraken, there are other ruthless characters on the Giant Demon Island?"
Mikhail nodded with a heavy face, and said to Roland: "After Kraken occupied Bagel Island, he killed the pirate king Drake and his followers by brutal means, and took the remaining pirates under his command, and in the following years, he subdued several other pirates in the North Bay region and formed a huge pirate empire, with many vicious bandits under his command, among which the ten big leaders are called 'Kraken's Ten Demon Generals'." ”
Roland raised his eyebrows, and then asked him, "Who exactly are the ten demon generals?" ”
"The number one demon general used to be the Purgatory Titan Grande, but after he turned his back on Balor Furmor's faith and worshipped Hexstow instead, he left the Giant Demon Island and went to the plateau to form a war fortress, and the Ten Demon Generals became the Nine Demon Generals."
"The number one of the demon generals today is a human named Maximian, who is from a ruined aristocratic background, who calls himself the 'Duke of the North Sea', who is in charge of the administration of the Troll Island on behalf of Kraken, and is also the flagship of the pirates." The captain of the Sea Palace', the steam-powered ironclad battleship that roamed the North Bay, was larger and stronger than any warship of the Bend League, and was said to be armed with a total of 40 naval guns, and the last fleet with the highest firepower, Maximian himself was also a quasi-legendary-level power, and it is said that he also received the Fermore Divine Grace from Kraken, which could transform into a terrifying giant.
