On the way back to Celeste, Magnus reflected on what had happened in the military port and couldn't help but feel quite satisfied with the decision he had made.

The young man named Katrick did not suit Magnus's appetite, but this did not prevent Magnus from promoting the young man from an ordinary general to the chief officer of the Bracada Navy, because Magnus knew that it didn't matter whether he liked this person or not, the key was whether this person could win for himself on the battlefield.

And in addition to Chen Jian's matter, there are several other news that have also begun to make Magnus carefully consider the necessity of naval development, Magnus has lived for so long, he has long been no longer hastily decided on anything important because of personal likes and dislikes, this time the navy's affairs, in addition to targeting Chen Jian, want to avenge the previous revenge, of course, there are other deeper reasons, Chen Jian, is just a fuse.

Just two days ago, Magnus received information from the spies that in a city along the coast of the Tulaone Forest, the elves had built a large shipyard, and a large number of giant trees and other materials were transported to this shipyard, and the elves were busy building huge sea ships.

As we all know, on the continent of Erathia, there were no elves, and the elves migrated to the continent from somewhere overseas, but after these elves settled in the dense forest, they destroyed the exquisite sea ships they used to cross the sea, and began to develop inland, and canceled the establishment of the navy. They were also not worried about the incursion of the Rigna pirates on the coast.

But now, they have suddenly started building ships, and it is still at a time when Farouk's rebellion has not been quelled, what does this mean?

Magnus understands the way the elven king Parson behaves, this treacherous elf will not do something meaningless, and the elves must have some special purpose in building sea ships.

In Magnus's view, Parson's purpose was nothing more than two things: he believed that the sea was strategically important and that it was imperative to develop a navy, and second, there was something in the ocean that was attractive enough for him to move into the sea, such as the Evermont Islands.

At about the same time, news related to the sea also came from the Diya region, a navy of the undead was being actively formed, and the necromancers were busy with the war in the Tytalia region, but they quietly purchased many warships through some means, and it seems that they still have not given up the idea of getting involved in the Evermont Islands.

This news made Magnus very worried, in Titalia, he was already one step slower than the necromancers, so for the Evermont Islands, he was determined to win, but Jian Chen's side has not yet done it, and the necromancers have begun to make moves again, can he fall behind again?

And the elves, is their purpose really Evermont Islands?

And on the edge of the Bracada Mage Kingdom, just in the southern port of the Erathia Empire, the Imperial Navy has also begun a large-scale rearmament, on the surface, the Imperial Navy seems to be targeting Chen Jian, but who knows if there are other reasons for this? Magnus probably knew what Kendall was like, this man was not a good leader, but his military attainments should not be underestimated, and the actions of the Imperial Navy, perhaps like him, had a deeper strategic purpose.

And what about Jian Chen? Did Jian Chen find anything on the Evermont Islands? Does his ability to make such a mess in Negan have anything to do with the secret hidden in the Evermont Islands?

All of this prompted Magnus to start paying attention to the oceans and the navy.

For the beautiful blueprints that Katrik said, Magnus didn't care, what navy with ground forces, in his opinion, are very cloudy, the technology of the flying ship has been perfected, the huge production capacity of the kingdom makes this new type of weapon is slowly beginning to be equipped in the army, at that time, the Bracada army composed of powerful magicians, magical creatures and flying ships will get a qualitative leap in combat effectiveness, at that time if anyone wants to compete with the Bracada army on land, he is very happy to accompany him.

As for the navy, Magnus thought a little self-deprecatingly, what is the navy? What is the ocean? In the future, even the sky wider than the ocean will be under the control of the Kingdom of Bracada, and when the time comes, the sea will no longer be able to stop him, and the glory of Brakaton, the glory of the Age of Miracles, will reappear in his hands again.

But before that, he must not let people sabotage his plans again in the seas that he cannot control for the time being, and the Evermont Islands, the key place in his plan, must also be snatched up, so he also needs a navy now, and a powerful navy, which will destroy Chen Jian's fleet at sea for him, open the way to the Evermont Islands, and snipe the fleet of necromancers who have the same purpose as him, and after occupying the Evermont Islands, this navy will also take on the task of protecting the safety of the Evermont Islands.

Therefore, he desperately needed a good admiral to help him lead this navy at sea.

During this time, Magnus has actually been looking for suitable candidates, but what disappointed him is that those generals who are qualified to become the supreme commander of the navy although they have rich experience in naval warfare, but they are extremely conservative, and they all lack such a momentum, which may have something to do with the fact that the navy has not been concerned in the country for a long time, in short, the navy is a dead air, and he is really a little uneasy to hand over the navy to these people, he has invested so much, and it is related to his great plan, he does not want to fail again.

Magnus's eyes lit up with the sudden appearance of Katrick, a young man who had been at sea for a long time, but it was clear that he had not yet fallen victim to the bad ills of the Admirals of the Kingdom, and though he was a little too idealistic, he had a commendable courage, and more importantly, he had a lot of ideas, and they were fresh.

Magnus's navy is in need of such a commander with ideas and courage.

So Magnus happily put Cattrick in the position that all admirals coveted, and generously gave him two airships, but on the contrary, he asked Cattrick to give him a military plan at sea within three days.

As a commander, ideas and courage are important, but even more important is the ability, the ability to turn ideas into action, and courage into results.

Three days later, Cattrick sent a detailed plan to the Castle of Celeste, in which he carefully explained his new naval tactics dominated by flying ships, and proposed several improvements to the existing standard warships of the Bracada navy.

What made Magnus even happier was that under the premise of taking Chen Jian's naval fleet as an imaginary enemy, Cattrick also formulated a battle plan to capture the opponent's new warship, which was very much to Magnus's appetite, and he had always cared about Chen Jian's ability to create a strange warship without sails, and of course he wanted to get this kind of battleship.

In addition, Cattrick also explained in detail the tactics he told Magnus in the military port that day to use the navy and the kingdom's regular army to fight, and he planned to transport a special legion by sea to some remote coastal areas in the Krurod region that can penetrate deep into the hinterland, and then build a magic portal in the local area, and send the kingdom's powerful mage army directly from the country to fight behind enemy lines.

This idea made Magnus's mind clear, and he thought of the region of Tytalia, which he had always wanted to meddle in, but was suffering from being too far away.

If Catlik's idea can be realized, then it will not be so difficult for the Bracada Mage Kingdom to get involved in the Tetalia region, and what is even more gratifying is that looking at the necromancers who have made a mess in the Tetalia region, their goal has not yet been achieved, and at this time, the Bracada army enters the swamp, and there is still a considerable chance to find what Magnus and the necromancers are looking for.

Is it wise to just go to war on two fronts at the same time, the Krurod barbarians and the necromancers?

Putting down Cattrick's report, Magnus habitually walked over to the perennial fireplace in his study, and began to meditate.

The war with the barbarians is really meaningless at the moment, and the King of Mages thinks that although the two sides have been fighting each other for thousands of years, in this protracted confrontation, it will not be so easy for either side to completely destroy the other, unless one of them is determined to carry the war to the end regardless of everything.

Magnus was sure that if he was serious and poured all his strength into it, it was not impossible for Bracada to destroy those barbarians, but what benefits would destroying the barbarian kingdom bring to him, the immortal king, and his kingdom, in addition to fame? Losing both sides was not what he wanted.

So for so many years, in the war against the barbarians, the kingdom of Bracada has been in a relatively passive situation, most of the wars are initiated by the warlike barbarians, and the magicians rarely take the initiative to provoke wars, unless they deem it necessary.

The same is true of this war, if possible, Magnus really does not want to fight such an inexplicable large-scale war with the barbarians at such a critical moment.

Magnus thought with regret that it would be great if he could invest all the manpower and material resources invested in this war to Tytaria, as long as he defeated the necromancer and found what he wanted in Titalia, then the kingdom would be even stronger, and such a war would have the meaning of going on.

With the light of the fire beating in the fireplace flickering in the eyes of the Immortal King, the crackling of burning wood echoing in the quiet study, and the spices added to the fire filling the room with a faint and refreshing scent, Magnus finally made up his mind.

A magician was summoned into his study.
