Chapter 69: The Storm on the Sea
A hard battle, looking at the huge beast corpse floating on the sea, everyone's eyes flashed with excitement.
The value of the materials on an ancient beast is even higher than that of a dragon!
The first to pounce on it was the dragon Ashubos, who began to devour the flesh of the beast from a bare wound, and the flesh of the beast had a fatal temptation for it.
Qi Luo was a little slower than Ah Xiu, and he directly began to volley the dark magic array, his goal was to extract the living soul of the fierce beast. The living soul of a fierce beast can even become the main soul of a Legendary-level sealing weapon, and if used as a sacrifice, it can summon a lord or even a demon king-level hell monster.
After simply treating their injuries and recovering their strength, the others also started to pack up the loot together, and the crystal nucleus, scale armor, tentacles, and bones of the fierce beast could be used as materials for the lowest level equipment.
It took seven people three days to clean up the most valuable materials on the beast's body, and the space equipment of several people was almost full, and there were still many materials of lower value that had to be discarded.
After that, it was another day long before setting off again. The reason is a little ridiculous, because Ah Xiu ate it for three days in a row, and his stomach was so round that he couldn't fly.
Arthur: The rest of the journey was arduous and long. The storm at sea never stops, the difference is only the size of the storm. In addition to the harsh natural environment, there is also danger from the sea, which is infested with all kinds of fierce magical beasts, and their journey has been spent in non-stop battles.
A month later, Arthur and the others encountered a second ancient beast, because they no longer had the luck they had before, and Shino and Aretha couldn't fight this beast together, so they could only cover everyone and flee in disarray.
The vast sea of storms has no bounds, and there are no clues to the whereabouts of the giants, so Arthur and the others can only try their luck in the sea like a headless fly. In the process of trying your luck, there are constant battles, and in this dangerous sea, the slightest slack can be drowned in the sea.
In the non-stop fighting and rushing, Arthur and they have ignored the passage of time, from Sino and Aretha to Arthur and Joan, everyone regards the process of fighting as a grinding process, the more difficult and dangerous the battle, the more they can sharpen the real strong!
In the tireless battle, half a year passed like a stream.
In addition to encountering ancient beast-level monsters, Arthur rushed to the forefront in every battle, and he didn't know how many injuries he suffered because of this? Because there were top powerhouses like Sino and Aretha demonstrating and guiding in the battle, this half year was also the time when Arthur improved the fastest in cultivation, and it was only two years before he was promoted to the seventh-level battle school, and he had faintly touched the threshold of the eighth-level.
As the crowd was immersed in the constant battle, as if they had forgotten the purpose of their trip, Lady Luck finally began to favor them, and they stumbled upon a huge wooden plank floating on the sea.
There are obvious marks of an axe chisel on the wooden slab, which is clearly a broken ship's plank. Everyone was excited by the discovery, and the discovery of a ship's plank here meant that there were traces of human existence.
Arthur and the others immediately searched backwards in the direction from which the ship's board was floating. Three days later, a storm-shrouded island finally appeared in front of everyone's eyes......
......
The situation on the continent in the six months that Arthur left was not calm.
In the late autumn of 802 in the Guangming calendar, nearly a year after the landing of the Sea Clan, the war was rekindled.
This time, it was the Terran side that took the initiative to attack, and during the calm period of nearly half a year, relying on the huge population base, the Bright Imperial Family, Isaac, and Kildan, all the troops lost before were replenished.
The war was also launched by three parties at the same time, and Isaac gathered 500,000 troops to attack the Sea Clan army garrisoned by the Locke Kingdom. The Bright Emperor and the Kingdom of Kildan each sent 400,000 troops to attack from the north and south ends of the Kingdom of Rouge.
On the Terran side, in addition to the 1.3 million troops of these three parties, there were also 180,000 church knights of the six integrated knights of the Church of Light. In fact, the Church of Light was able to initiate a counter-offensive on the initiative of the Terran parties, and Pope Cyrius V personally sent a letter to Streich and Filimondo, asking the two kings to put aside their prejudices for the time being and give priority to the expulsion of the aliens.
When all parties put aside their prejudices and reunited into a fist, the advantage of the Terran as the strongest race in terms of overall strength on the continent was reflected, and nearly one and a half million Terran warriors led by the Church Knight launched a frantic attack on the Sea Clan and the Norman army.
The Terran attack was launched too suddenly, and there was a numerical advantage on all fronts, and on the grand battlefield, the Terran warriors launched wave after wave of attacks against the Sea Clan and Norman defenses. Although the individual combat strength suffered, the Terran warriors, inspired by their blood and faith, were not afraid of death, and let go of the attrition and attack with the Sea Clan, even if three or four warriors fought to the death of a Sea Clan.
On the other hand, on the side of the Sea Clan, because there was no follow-up reinforcements, when the casualties reached a certain percentage, the Sea Clan general had to take the initiative to give the order to retreat.
Soon after the battle, the Terran parties took the initiative to break through the Sea Clan's defense line and continue to advance forward.
Although the Sea Clan's defense line was lost, it did not collapse for thousands of miles, but continued to resist danger in the gradual retreat, and even fought several counterattacks, making the Terran army pay a lot of price.
After all, the Terran army has the advantage of strength, and it continues to advance in the entanglement and tug-of-war, gradually retaking the occupied land at the cost of flesh and blood.
In the smoke of battles everywhere, Quyang Town, a corner of the northern mountains of the Anluo Kingdom, has not been affected by the war for the time being, and the Blue Enchantress Mercenary Group is stationed here to rest.
Because of the scattered mercenaries and rangers on the battlefield, there are more and more soldiers in the mercenary group, and the number of soldiers in the mercenary group has almost doubled in the six months since Arthur left.
Because the frontal battle between the two armies could not give full play to the advantages of the mercenaries, when the all-out war began, Huey did not lead the mercenaries into the battlefield as soon as possible.
After Arthur, Joan and the others left halfway, Huey led the mercenary group, which made Huey, who was cold-faced and silent, and had never participated in decision-making before, very difficult. But when Huey actually led the troops, the effect was better than Arthur's being the commander.
Huey was cautious and not as risky as Arthur, so the battles that Huey decided to start were basically safe, and the battlefield casualty rate was low. And in every battle, Huey must be the first to kill, he usually has a cold face, and the soldiers below are respectful and afraid of him, and the orders on the battlefield are forbidden, and the execution is stronger.
Arthur and the others have been away for half a year, and the mercenary group is still continuing the legend of the blue enchantress under the leadership of Huey.
Huey and the mercenaries, who were resting, could never have imagined that when the war between the two sides was raging, someone was already secretly thinking about them......
