High in the northern ice sea, in the depths of the raging storm, warships and warplanes take off and land non-stop between various floating lands.

In the command ship of the Ice Sea Task Force of the First Fleet of the Red Union Navy, Dake was slapping the table with the commander of the detachment, and his old boss Ralch.

"Other warships are doing orbital bombardment, so why are we still clinging to Phillips, the ooze monster?"

"That guy is lucky to find another empty reef so he can squat against us, there's no need to be stupid and nailed here by him!"

"The changes in the night were so drastic that the other battleships lost the Marines. Although our dogs are useless in this kind of battle, it's always okay to beat the side drums, right?"

Ralch took off his glasses, revealing his eyes that shimmered with a faint golden light, and looked directly at.

He had no problems with his eyes and wore glasses just to reduce the chance of phantom attacks.

Since the popularity of the Ethereal Assistant, the Red Alliance people have generally used enhanced vision. This mode makes the consciousness have to constantly switch between reality and illusory vision, and many low-level transcendentals, or people with a single thread and a tendon in the brain, are not very adaptable, and have many adverse symptoms physically and psychologically, which are uniformly called "hallucinatory disorder".

Moving up to a higher level, changing your mindset, or relying on ethereals on a deeper level are all solutions, but the easier way is to wear smart glasses that can carry enhanced vision.

The high-level transcendents don't get hallucinations, but they like to wear these glasses. By transferring enhanced vision to items outside of your body, you will be able to return to your purely mortal state.

Gradually, this kind of thing also added new content to the social communication of the Red Union.

The act of Ralch taking off his glasses is a communicative language, and the underlying line is: "I'm looking at you with a mortal eye, we're equal to each other, and what I'm about to say is sincere." ”

Ralch said, "Get out!"

saluted, turned obediently and walked out of the bridge.

This guy is just idle and flustered to touch porcelain......

The Phillips detachment failed to break through the reef and was about to retreat north of East Fein, but found another floating land in the exclusion zone not far from Winsley Reef, so it was logical to use it as a base and bring in more reinforcements.

At present, Phillips has nearly 100 warships, including nearly 20 ships above the earl level and 3 ships of the Marquis class, and the number of officers and men is estimated at 40,000 or 50,000, forming a force to be reckoned with.

The Red Union Navy has deployed a task force under the command of Ralch here, with more than a dozen killer whales and more than twenty bighorn whales, although it is difficult to capture the Phillips detachment that relies on the air reef defense, but it is more than enough to defend the Winsley Sky Reef.

Now the Phillips fleet is the only remaining living force of the Dawning Empire's floating fleet, although Prince Phillips is from the north, he is not a loyal dog of the Holy See of Order, and the persecution is too tight, they are likely to retreat to the north, so that the Holy See has an additional floating fleet with considerable threat. Another possibility is to fight the Red Alliance to the end, be loyal to the Empire, and then sacrifice tens of thousands of mortal souls for the Goddess of Order.

Neither of these results was seen by Chi Lenovo, and at the critical time when Operation Doomsday was about to start and it was difficult to concentrate on solving this detachment, it was undoubtedly the best choice for Task Force Ralch to contain the other side.

Dick also knows this truth, but he is not the commander of the task force, and it is already his daily routine to pretend to be a reckless subordinate who has no overall situation, and lick some blockages for Ralch.

Who let that guy fool him into joining the Navy and deliberately emphasized that "maybe you'll still be my boss then"?

Ralch naturally knew what was thinking, and every time he responded, he was so resolute that he was deflated every day.

It's not okay to cooperate a little, it's still a revolutionary comrade, it's really not interesting at all.

The automatic door closed behind him, and was sighing, and a red dot lit up in the upper left corner of his vision, which was a battle alarm.

Phillips' fleet is coming!

At that moment, not to mention, up to Ralch, down to the kobold marines, everyone cheered.

..................

In the narrow passage of Winsley Reef, watching the big horn whale of the Red Union sinking into the storm with billowing smoke, Phillips said unhappily: "When did the Red Devil become so cowardly, I thought I could sink one today." ”

The bald man standing next to him, that is, Badengaohm gritted his left tooth and gritted his right tooth, and finally couldn't help but speak: "The Red Devil is not a brainless reckless man, unless there is no way out, they will not make senseless sacrifices." ”

"This is just a patrol ship, which damaged two of our warships, confirming that we are not here to probe and will naturally retreat. ”

"I'm sure their fleet is assembling in the back, and soon we'll be fighting to the death in the passage. ”

"Your Highness, how do you want to come to the foreign aid you are talking about?"

Phillips said triumphantly: "I said that I will come when I should come, and I will come from wherever I need it." ”

Badengorm looked through the porthole of the bridge at the storm tumbling up and down on the left and right, and said in amazement, "In this kind of place, I really can't think of any reinforcements other than the power related to the god of storms." ”

Phillips looked at the Red Dragon Prince, who could no longer turn into a dragon, and his eyes flashed with appreciation: "You guessed wrong, but it's not far from the correct answer." It's not that you're stupid, it's that you're not in my place. ”

Badengaume sighed, "I vaguely guessed who it was, but it's a pawn for the gods, is it really good?"

Phillips' expression became indifferent, and he snorted coldly: "It's better to be a pawn for the gods than for mortals, and I still want to live, I want to survive the change of epochs and enter the new world." ”

"It is the best choice to let this fleet move unchecked, to become a living pawn swimming on the chessboard. ”

"That's what my new ally wants to see, and he needs the right vehicle to exert enough power on the main plane. ”

As he spoke, the flesh of his cheeks twitched slightly, making the young man look unusually haggard, as if he had been exposed to some terrifying and unknown existence.

Badengaohm's heart settled down a little, and he stopped talking.

Early in the morning, news of the outbreak of civil strife between the Dawning Empire and the Holy See had reached the fleet, and he was worried about Phillips' choice.

If he defected to the Holy See, there would be no place for a dragon alien race like him. If he wants to throw himself into the empire, he has a blood feud with the Red Alliance, how can he accept it.

Thankfully, Phillips didn't choose either side, which gave him a new understanding of this seemingly incompetent prince.

Militarily he is a fool and a cowardly man, but in this choice of what the Red Union calls "politics", Phillips is unusually sober.

Of course, whether this choice is correct or not depends on whether the new allies found by Phillips are reliable enough, and whether the next battle can break the record of zero wins.

The storm turbulence in the forbidden area of the sky squeezed against each other, forming a dynamic equilibrium, with a diameter of less than twenty kilometers, unusually meandering, and the various parts were still moving in the passage to the center at any time.

Phillips's fleet trudged through this passage for more than two hours, making contact with the Red Union fleet at noon.

In Badengaohm's eyes, it was a desperate battle.

The superior number of their own warships cannot be stretched out in this kind of channel, and can only rely on relay or refueling to carry out rotational operations.

Although the number of the Red Alliance's fleet is small, it can maximize its firepower, and under their Thor's hammer and the hammer of destruction, the Baron-class battleship can't hold out for even three minutes, and the Viscount-class can barely withstand a round.

What's even more terrifying is that although there are few warships on the other side, the twenty or thirty fighters released by the big bat-shaped mothership can fight in the forbidden area!

Along the edge of the passage, this kind of fighter called the "sawtooth shark" penetrated the air defense network of its own fleet and penetrated deep into the depth of the fleet, disrupting the rhythm of rotational operations with heavy firepower. Not only are they incredibly fast and agile, far surpassing their own side of the battle boats, they can even transform into puppets with hands and legs, and in extremely narrow spaces, they can take out the ships and warships that surround them.

After more than half an hour, the fleet battle in the passage changed from mutual firing to melee.

Those sawtooth sharks gradually dug the airspace where the flagship was located out of the fleet formation, and guided the hammer of destruction of the Red Union warships to bombard the flagship.

Three battleships in a row, desperate for their front guns, disintegrated into pieces, and at this time, Phillips and Badengor also saw a strange scene.

Those human bodies that flew out of the battleship overflowed with golden light and dust, condensed into humanoid phantoms, and rose up.

Each phantom expands into a thinner projection, a vague statue of a goddess.

The third battleship was set on fire by several hammers of destruction, hitting the landing module, where there should have been a lot of clergy of order, and when it exploded, it was swept away, and in an instant, a large area of golden light condensed, and the expanded projection was finally clearer.

It was clear that they were two goddesses in different shapes, one of whom was still very familiar, and Phillips and Badengaome were discolored at the same time.

Some of the clergy of order on the bridge shouted out, "Theresia!"

Phillips and Badengaohm looked at each other, conveying the tacit understanding that "the rumors are indeed true, and Theresia's will has reappeared".

"Your Highness, we can actually ......"

Badengaume's heart beat several times faster and he made a proposal to the prince.

But before he could finish speaking, Phillips said sadly, resentfully, and at the same time resolutely: "It's late......"

Then he seemed to defend his choice: "Who knew that Teresia's will was not an illusion created by the goddess of order? ”

The bridge shook suddenly, and the flagship was finally hit by the Red Union battleship, looking at the large snow-white crystals of the flagship's shield outside the porthole, Badengaum shouted: "Now we need strength!

Phillips' body shook, his eyes straightened, and he murmured dreamily, "He...... Here it ......."

The space darkened suddenly, and the passage twisted violently, slamming out of the storm with several large beings. Several sawtooth sharks that were maneuvering close to the edge of the passage, along with a number of flying boats that fought valiantly against each other, were instantly swallowed by these black smoke transpiring existences.

More clouds of black smoke burst out of the storm and slammed into the battleship, shields crystallizing until they cracked.

"The Void...... Dragon ......"

Badengaum muttered the answer he had just guessed, but he didn't dare to think about.

Black clouds that were several kilometers in diameter and could almost clog the passage poured out of the passage, enveloping Phillips' flagship.

In the dim bridge, Badengorm sensed a cold and distant thought: "Prince who betrayed the dragons, you still have a chance to atone for your sins." ”

The Red Dragon Prince replied in fear: "What can I do?

The thought said, "Become the carrier of my will, and take my soul for this world that is about to perish." ”

Under the great fear, the Red Dragon Prince almost gave in, but the desire for life and the persistence of the existing goal made him hold his guard.

He shouted in his heart: "I still want to live, live to take revenge, not to turn into nothingness!"

"Another fool who doesn't understand that nothingness is the ultimate life", Taksis was not angry at the thought, "But you are very experienced in how to fight on the main plane, and you have dealt with many servants of the Crimson Lady, so I am very gracious and allow you to lead the Void Air Regiment for me as a living creature." ”

A puff of black smoke avoids seeping through the bridge and condenses into a human figure around Badengorm, a tall, toned pony-tailed girl. When his facial features became clear, Badengolm exclaimed, "Erin Sarah——!"

It was Badengorm's sister who died on the edge of the Forgotten Forest under the missiles of the Red Union fighters.

"This is just a projection of your sister's void, and if you do your best, I will find you a fragment of your sister's soul and resurrect her completely," said Takhis. ”

Badengaom took a few quick breaths and said in a low voice, "What should I do, Your Majesty?"

"Retreat!

On the other side of the battlefield, Ralch angrily ordered in the channel: "The Void Dragon God has taken matters into his own hands! God knows how he threw so many Void Dragons, and even his own clones, from the storm into the main plane! In short, there is no need for us to fight Him here! Withdraw to the Sky Reef at full speed!"

This is the right order, although all the captains and other officers and men, including Decker, are very aggrieved, but those who are willing to fight the Void Dragon in such a place are definitely in the water.

Ordering the battleship to retreat, Dakker didn't forget to crow's mouth in the channel: "Since the Void Dragon can rush out of the storm, then the Sky Reef is not a solid stronghold to rely on at all, I think ......"

Before he could finish speaking, Ralch snorted, not knowing whether to cough or spurt blood.

He smiled bitterly and said, "Old Qingteng, shut up, the other side of the empty reef has also been invaded by the Void Dragon." We rushed to the rescue and then withdrew from the sea of ice. ”

..................

To the east of Redstone, on the avenue leading to the Forgotten Forest, a rolling stream of people travels east.

These people were in rags, but they looked good, and there was no confusion in order. Young and middle-aged people walked, all kinds of vehicles carrying old and weak women, children and supplies, and each section was commanded by people wearing yellow pointed hats, and they were not refugees.

This group of people, estimated at 50,000 or 60,000 people, is actually refugees. They left Fleet City and prepared to head to the Cage Fort on the edge of the Forgotten Forest.

Wearing a yellow pointed hat dyed black at the top, Rachar rode a moor goat, making his rounds one by one, his heart full of gratitude and admiration for Marshal Rimako.

After the Red Union withdrew from Fleet City, the Marshal's forces took control of Fleet City. Considering that the fleet city was destroyed, there were not many living supplies, and it would become a battlefield, the marshal agreed to the request of Lachar and others to lead the workers to evacuate, and also directed them to the cage fort to replenish supplies.

The marshal was also very concerned about these workers, and not only sent troops to escort them, but also specifically instructed the troops to cooperate with the slipway guild headed by Rachar, instead of escorting them as prisoners, which was equivalent to an official recognition of the authority of the slipway guild.

In this context, the plan to travel thousands of miles to the royal capital of Sachiton was naturally shelved. The slipway guild decided to hold a new meeting in the cage fort to discuss where the tens of thousands of workers should go.

Unity is strength, and Rachar has a deeper understanding of this truth, and although Trizter, who explained it to them, has been exposed and is no longer their mentor, the truth itself is correct.

Drawing Charles was wondering if he would lead the group to Norton's Flying Boat City, which would become a base for new floats or large airships after the destruction of Fleet City.

Suddenly there was an exclamation from the front, it was early summer, and a large number of people were walking in the dry redstone wasteland, and the smoke and dust were so thick that they couldn't see what was going on.

It wasn't until the exclamation swept back to Razhar's side like a wave of rage, followed by a number of monsters pouring out of the smoke and dust, that the halfling understood what had happened.

It was a tide of countless stone giants, the smallest and two people tall, made of a number of rocks!

As a redstone-born halfling, Lachar is unusually familiar with this elemental creature, the maddened earth elemental.

The Earth Elemental Plane has countless dimensional gaps in redstone, and it often happens that frenzied Earth Elementals rush out of the dimensional cracks and disturb the creatures of the main plane.

However, the scale of those chaos is very small, and now this kind of thing undoubtedly comes from a huge gap that is almost in the plane passage, which also means that the earth elemental plane has undergone violent turmoil.

"There's nothing to be afraid of this thing!"

"Men with strength are organized!"

Racharal plucked up his courage and shouted through a megaphone.

The earth element is not terrible, as long as it is not at the lord level or above, it can be destroyed even with primitive swords, guns and clubs.

There was no need for him to shout, some workers who had seen the earth element had already rushed forward.

Soon, these workers cried and shouted for their mothers to retreat, and the skin on their bodies festered, and even blood mist rose.

Some of the legs fell to the ground slowly, their flesh withering rapidly, and thick black smoke spilled out.

Dirt and rubble rolled up, enveloping the human bodies. Then they staggered to their feet, layers of earth and stones still piled up, and finally wrapped them into stone giants that resembled earth elementals.

Racharle watched his hairs stand on end, and only then did he remember something.

What about the troops that escorted them?

Could it be that those stone giants in the first place were not earth elementals, but were all changed by this unknown terrifying power just like the stone giants these people have turned into now?

..................

"Hollowed Out Enemy ......"

Valentine's Castle, in front of the gates of the Crown Fortress on the top floor, Catherine, dressed in bright red arms, meets Kane.

After listening to Kane's report and seeing several corpses emitting black smoke in the square, Catherine furrowed her willow eyebrows.

"General Kane, don't blame yourself, I just received news that there is a void in various places. ”

"The power of the void in those places is pouring into the main plane from the elemental plane, and here it has penetrated the barrier of the divine power of order, making the followers of order void, obviously the goddess of order ordered Taksis to do it. ”

Catherine's beautiful face, which resembles Theresia, has a more resolute fighting spirit than her sister, and at the same time, the disdain she exudes is also more distinct than her sister: "Taksis is really a loyal thug, but he is just a clown." ”

The hammer of Holmes, which was transformed into a hammer in his hand, and was larger than Kane's power hammer, smashed to the floor, making a thunderous sound like ten thousand tons of gold and iron, and Catherine said: "If we cannot be defeated by the sacred, replace it with nothingness, and this is the best mercy for our crimson faith." Let's see if it's their Heavenly Spirit Cover is hard, or our hammer is hard!"
