Chapter 1: The Return

"Let's go!" Xu Mo looked up at the huge vortex world portal and took the lead in stepping in.

After the Space Council, Xu Mo and the others had already spent a short fifteen-day recuperation period in the real world. During these fifteen days, everyone did not say anything about the next mission world, but just enjoyed the rare leisure time. Everyone understands very well that the difficulties they will encounter in the era of sea power, their boss has done the best, and the next thing can only be relied on by the joint efforts of the whole team.

In order to meet the Temple of the Gods, the old K group and the ink wind group took out almost all the resource points and replenished the team warehouse with recovery items that could be several times as usual. Since it is likely that they will have to fight at sea next, the recovery items will be mainly functional loss medicines and bandages. There are also some special treasures that can also be used by the plot characters in order to save some crucial plot characters in the war.

In the other part of the resource points, under Xu Mo's instructions, the old K regiment and the ink wind regiment acquired the space medal at any cost. Originally, Xu Mo had three bronze medals and one black iron medal, but this time they acquired enough medals and finally raised the team level of the old K regiment to the silver level.

After reaching the silver level, the old K-group finally got the extra additional features of the high-level team, which are all kinds of functions, almost any type. Among them, there is a team assembly order for long-distance coordinate transmission; In addition, there is also a passive ability to increase the health and offensive and defensive abilities of all team members; Even including an amnesty that was immediately removed from the world.

However, the Silver team can only have one additional perk. Xu Mo did not choose the assembly order of the remote support type, nor did he choose the amnesty order. Assembly orders and amnesty orders that can only transmit one person and pardon one person are of little use to them at the moment. Xu Mo chose an additional function that was the most suitable in the era of sea power, that is, the map sharing function that can remotely locate the coordinates of the team members.

Although upgrading to the Silver team, Xu Mo could include all the members of the Ink Wind Regiment into the old K Regiment, but he did not do so. The Ink Wind Regiment may be more effective when acting alone, as they can get the help of some plot characters among other national powers, and can be used as a surprise soldier to join the battlefield at the right time.

In this way, in the vast sea, if you want to find the battlefield of the old K regiment and the Temple of the Gods, this map sharing function is very important. It is worth mentioning that after Xu Mo became the interim speaker, some of the powers of the interim speaker also gave considerable convenience to the two teams.

The Temporary Speaker has some privileges on the battlefield where time and space meet. Although it has little effect, it can at least allow the ink wind regiment to enter the battlefield of time and space, and be within the distance range of honor value communication with the old K regiment. It will not be impossible for the two to be connected. In addition, it also saves a lot of resource costs for bringing sub-group members into the same mission world.

In the space-time tunnel, a row of more than ten brilliant Duoling crystals traveled like lightning. When they were about to reach the exit of the tunnel, some of the polygolinic crystals were slightly stunned by the orange-yellow light around them, and they stayed in the tunnel for a moment. The other part of the Duoling crystal rushed out of the space-time tunnel first, and then, the stagnant part of the Duoling crystal passed through the tunnel exit.

In Xu Mo's soul imprint light screen, a long row of list information slowly emerged.

"Teleportation is over!"

"Rebuilding the Law of Samsara Body ......"

"Hint: Samsara No. 228, there is a space replica in this world, stop rebuilding the law body......"

"The space recovers the replica, and the soul mark of Reincarnation No. 228 is incorporated into the replica, and the law body data ...... begins to be adjusted"

"Hint: This mission world is an intermediate space-time intersection battlefield, and the superstring space law is affected by other space laws, and the data is re-proportioned ......"

"The current state of the law body: 100%."

"The World in which we live: The Mirror World - The Age of Sea Power."

Introduction to the era of sea power:

Columbus's great geographical discovery ushered in the Age of Discovery, and to this day, the world's four oceans are still full of strife and blood.

The Golden Route of the East, the Black Triangle of Crime, the Thriving Mediterranean, the Slave Trade and the Great Colonial Era kicked off. The European powers bombarded the backward peoples with huge ships and cannons, bringing them under their rule.

Obey or die, this is the world that belongs to the strong, to the era of warships and artillery!

Spain was no longer the world hegemon, and the Armada had been destroyed for decades. Philip II was a wise monarch, and Spain ruled the world for a time under his rule, but it was also overwhelmed by huge military spending. After the death of Philip II, Spain's power began to decline, and the current king of Spain is Philip III, a somewhat mediocre and pious Catholic monarch.

Philip III favored his courtiers, and the power of the empire was given to the Duke of Lerma. The duke was a thorough sea powerist with the ambition to once again build an invincible armada for Spain. While plunging national finances into a bottomless abyss, it has also brought many dangers to the world's oceans.

Compared to Spain, its neighbor, the Kingdom of Portugal, burst into full force after independence. Although the sea is still relatively weak, it has a large trading fleet that competes with the Dutch, the coachman of the sea, and comes and goes in the seas of the world.

England, after defeating the Armada, once became the greatest hegemon in the world's seas. However, in the last decade, they have received three major blows at the same time. Their wise Queen Elizabeth died, and was succeeded by Queen Mary's son, James I, a wise, but mediocre king.

On the eve of Queen Elizabeth's death, England suffered a heavy blow in the North Sea, a sea of traditional power, and the Swedish Vasa Dynasty, known as the New Vikings, was defeated, losing its hegemony in the North Sea and the huge interest in whaling.

The most fatal blow came from home, when Ireland, one of the British Isles, set off a wave of independent uprisings after the death of Queen Elizabeth, leaving the newly enthroned James I anxious. Even so, England still has the most powerful navy in the world, and has the greatest maritime supremacy on the Eastern and New World routes.

In contrast to the troubled English, the traditional power, France, also seems to have lost its aura of luck. With the death of Queen Elizabeth, France also lost their English lord, Henry IV. The current king of France is Louis XIII, and the power of the country is in the hands of the Duke of Richelieu.

The Duke of Richelieu was an ambitious statesman, and the Kingdom of France held a huge legacy left to them by Henry IV. Now the Duke is using this wealth to build a powerful fleet for France, and to begin a struggle with all the powers for supremacy of the seas.

Among the other sea powers, the most noteworthy are Sweden and the Ottomans. While the great powers of the world have died, the Vikings have a lion king they have never seen before.

With its first roar, the northern lion defeated Russia and Poland on land and took possession of the Gulf of Finland. At the same time, defeated England, the most powerful sea power hegemon at the moment, in the North Sea. Let the young and brilliant Admiral of England Clifford rest forever under the icy waters of Greenland.

However, a small North Sea and the Baltic Sea obviously cannot satisfy the appetite of the Lion King, especially after the Vikings have both strong armies on land and sea, the Northern Lion King is brewing a greater storm of war, and the Nordic cold snap is about to sweep the land of Europe and the seas of the world.

In contrast to the Vikings in the north, there was also a great monarch in the East. Following the destruction of the Mamluk dynasty in Egypt, Suleiman I of the Ottomans conquered Belgrade, conquering the Kingdom of Hungary and adding Transylvania, Wallachia, and Moldova to the empire.

To the east, the Ottoman Empire seized Baghdad at the hands of the Persians, gaining control of Mesopotamia and the Persian Gulf, with a total population of 15 million. In this way, the Ottoman Empire embraced half of the Mediterranean on land.

This majestic gesture was not just an empty shell, the Ottoman Empire also had a strong navy and was able to control this part of the Mediterranean.

The Ottoman Empire had a much more powerful naval admiral compared to the army. This admiral was the most vicious pirate king in the eyes of the Christian nations and the most invincible in the eyes of the Muslims. Like Sir Drake of England, he was never defeated in a naval battle in his life, Barbarossa Hayreddin.

"Reincarnation No. 228, the era of sea power is a fusion mirror world, and the reincarnator who enters the world has been screened by two major spaces, and the reincarnator can get more task rewards than other task worlds by completing the main quest given by the space in this world."

"Hint: The law body of the reincarnation is affected by other spatial laws in the fusion mirror world. For the attack and defense of the characters, you will not be able to use equipment items and space skills, and can only use natural abilities and your own comprehension skills. The offensive and defensive stats of ordinary reincarnators will be reduced to one-half of their original amount; The offense and defense stats of first-order transferees will drop to one-third; The offensive and defensive stats of those who transfer from the second rank will drop to one-fifth to one-tenth; The battle between reincarnated beings is not affected. ”

"Hint: In the fusion mirror world, the reincarnator may encounter other space reincarnators, and there may be competitive tasks, completing competitive tasks will be double the task reward, and killing other space reincarnators will get double the blood value, and when exiting the mirror world, the space will give additional rewards according to the number and quality of competitive tasks completed by the reincarnation."

"Warning: The countdown time until you officially enter the Space-Time Intersection Battlefield is thirty seconds, and the countdown begins......"

PS: In the opening chapter of this volume, the gluttony nagged a lot, book friends should no longer compare the time points and characters and events of the sea power era with real history, there are differences.
