Chapter 12: Sanctuary

According to the information provided by the informant, the pirate leader Jossen has contacted the other six pirates and is preparing to form a coalition to attack Anstann Island in half a month.

If this wave can't be stopped, no matter how prosperous Daxiu runs the Victor family, in the face of fire and long knives, it will eventually be wiped out.

Counting the seven thieves including Qiao Sen, this means that there are seven third-order powerhouses, ten ships, and the size of a pirate army of nearly 1,000 people, and the dumping of fine salt has generated too amazing commercial profits, and there may even be some nobles behind it, intending to seek the purification secret recipe of the increasingly prosperous Anstann Island and the Victor family.

Seven great pirates, seven third-order or even third-order existences, of course, the Sanctuary will never appear, the only Sanctuary powerhouse among the pirates, the "Pirate King" Nakato-Viren was originally from a declining aristocracy, and he inherited the family's vindictive spirit "Bahaitao" to have the foundation to be promoted to the Sanctuary after several life and death and adventures, this is almost a living legend.

After killing all his enemies and defeating his opponents, the Pirate King has retired in the pirate kingdom deep in the sea, and the little money of the Victor family is not in the eyes of this old man.

However, just the seven thieves joined forces, and it was still difficult for the Victor clan to resist at this time. Even if you count the hidden fifty elite troops, the disparity in the total strength is still too great.

Your own side can arrange informants, and of course the pirate side can also do it, although the Victor clan has treated slaves very well, and set up a promotion mechanism similar to the ten-level military merit system, as long as you are willing to work hard, you will not be enslaved for a lifetime.

But it is impossible to satisfy everyone at this level, or no matter what you do, you will not be able to satisfy everyone.

The two sides are very cautious about inserting informants into each other, and this kind of thing is relative, but only when the real game is played, some hole cards will really be opened.

"The boys on the ship, you can also go into battle, they are all good lads......"

"There's no need for these good guys to get caught up in a fight with the dregs of the sea. Guarding the territory and protecting the people is a soldier's job, am I right, Danny?"

“...... Baron, every man in the infantry regiment, is willing to fight to the death for you. Danny, who was very honest, thought about it, and in the end he could only say that.

The infantry regiment, which had just been formed for half a year, was fully equipped with 200 people, and the pirates who went ashore this time were 1,000 people, and Captain Planck also knew that a ship could fight more than a dozen, and this naval battle could not be fought at all, so he proposed to let the sailors go ashore to assist in the defense, so that the infantry regiment would have more than 300 sailors.

Of course, the whole army shrank back to the earthen fort, and the industry, the fields, the slaves and even the people, these could not be taken care of for the time being, and I am afraid that it would be a huge trauma to the prestige of the lord, but it was very timely, and it seemed that this time could only be decided.

However, Zhu Peng directly rejected Captain Planck's suggestion.

Next, Zhu Peng wrote a long list and handed it to the captain in front of him, asking him to continue dumping goods to buy slaves, which meant that when the pirate group attacked, Captain Planck and his ship and his crew were far away from the battle at all.

This in itself was in the interest of Captain Planck himself, so hesitating, he took the baron's warrant and left, and as he passed the second lady, Elia, the stout bearded man bowed his head lightly before striding away.

"Planck has been adrift in these seas all his life, and you believe that he doesn't know a few pirates?"

"You mean, you suspect Planck of infidelity?" Danny was suddenly shocked when he heard this, he just thought that if there was a help from the sailors, the pressure would be greatly relieved, but he didn't expect that if the sailors who joined the party suddenly turned back at an important moment, the already absolutely disadvantaged side would fall into a catastrophe.

"It's not that I suspect him, but that Mr. Planck has been working hard for the family, and I don't want to give him an inappropriate opportunity and have to kill him with my own hands. "To be close to someone is not to expose one's weaknesses to the other person as a temptation, but to give the other person no chance to betray at all.

In the case of a fierce war and an extremely bad situation, even if Planck did not collude with the pirates, under great psychological pressure, when he felt that Anstann Island could not be defended at all, he could only choose to fight against the water in order to survive.

"Let's not talk about this, how is the contact with the local natives, is that old stubborn still not allowed to open a mutual market?"

"Elder Hatu still did not let go, he was afraid of the punishment of his ancestors, but he also coveted our iron, cloth and all kinds of utensils, and this guy knew very well that his tribe could not compete with the Victor family, so Elder Hatu finally relented, saying that as long as you are willing to go to the ancestral spirit land of the tribe for three days and accept the test of the ancestors, he will accept all our conditions. ”

When a low-level civilization meets a high-level civilization, it is often the low-level civilization that is assimilated or destroyed, but the time for running this place by himself is too short, so that every bit of power must be used on the blade, so Zhu Peng chooses to assimilate the natives.

These tribesmen are simple-minded, brave and aggressive, and it is still useful to form an alien army after control.

The most important thing is that after half a year's rest and refining himself with the Seal Trick Mind Method every day, Zhu Peng has successfully made up for the foundation, and is on the verge of being promoted to break through at any time.

And this is where the confidence of the high demon world to attribute the power to its own strong is located, only the power attributed to itself is real, and everything else is false.

After talking to Danny, Danny left, and after half a year of getting along, this young man had begun to be superstitious about everything Zhu Peng did, and everything the baron did must be right, even if it didn't seem right at the time, it would prove right in the end.

It is precisely because of this almost superstitious worship that Danny dares to take the newly formed 200-man infantry regiment to plan to harden the 1,000-man pirate regiment, which is normally a battle with no chance of victory, but in Danny's opinion, he just needs to do his job well, and the Baron will inevitably bring victory.

"Brother, you've been busy all morning, you're already very tired, aren't you?" Seeing everyone leave, Illya, who had been waiting, lifted the food box next to her and walked into the office to serve Zhu Peng exquisite meals.

"You are welcome, my sister. Looking at the fifteen-year-old fresh and beautiful girl in front of him laying dishes suitable for her taste, Zhu Peng also felt a little emotion in his heart.

Of course, it is not difficult for him to see through at a glance what kind of thoughts Elija holds, but feelings are only about deeds, and compared to Elija, who has a sense of nervousness, Lisa, who was not relieved when Daxiu Victor was dying, was just wantonly squandering her brother's favor for her.

The brioche bread that was baked just now, the delicious fish soup, and a lamb chop fried until golden brown, while learning all aspects of the aristocratic girl's work in half a year, Illya also practiced a good cooking skill, and the most important thing is that she is really attentive, every thorn of the sea fish in the fish soup has been picked out, and at the level of ordinary people, it is really unsatisfactory.

While eating, Zhu Peng noticed Illya's expression in front of him. Her slender fingers were entwined and twisted, and she glanced up and looked down again, which was pitiful.

Although he chewed slowly, Zhu Pengwu was born and ate quickly, and after finishing lunch and sorting out the plates and food boxes for Eliya, he opened his mouth and asked, "Eliya, are you unhappy about anything, or do you have any gifts you want?"

"Brother, my father wanted me to marry Sam's son, and my mother agreed...... But I ...... But I don't want to get married so early. At this time, she had already walked to the door of the office, and finally heard the long-awaited words, and Elia turned back and said.

"Oh, I see. Illya is still young, there is no need to be in such a hurry about the marriage, I will take the time to tell my father, not to mention that the family is now in a period of rapid growth, and it is not easy to find a suitable family to marry my sister at this time. "Without the Sanctuary Mage, the Victor family is just a family that has suddenly risen and may have some small money, such a family is not everywhere in the entire continent, but there are also quite a few, it can be said that it is a typical merchant aristocratic family, and it is looked down upon by the real nobles.

However, after being promoted to the mage of the Holy Domain, the hundred-year-old foundation of a big family has been laid, and the family with power is the family worth befriending, and now most of the people who come to ask for Lisa are some viscounts and barons who come to ask for it, and a very ordinary earl is arrogant and hidden.

After the Victor family had the Sanctuary Mage to suppress it, the people who came to ask Lisa Victor were at least the earl, otherwise they would die or die, and the little nobles would be qualified to make friends with the Sanctuary powerhouses.

The power belongs to oneself, and in the world of high demons this is the supreme truth, the supreme power.

"Thank you, Brother Daxiu, you are the best. Receiving a satisfactory answer, Eliya seemed very happy to put down the food box and hugged her brother.

She was only fifteen years old, and she was a little short, and at this moment her arms were wrapped around her brother's neck, and her whole body was almost hanging on the man's body, and her feet fluttered off the ground.

Feeling the warm body of the girl in his arms and the protruding curve, Zhu Peng was slightly stunned, and then he smiled and waited for Eliya to be happy enough, her delicate little face was blushing and simple, the blush did not fade for a long time, and it was very beautiful.

In the light of the afternoon, Illya bathed in it, her eyes wandering with bewilderment.

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

Ask the necromancer to go to his ancestral grave...... Even Zhu Peng heard such a request for the first time.

Since the native elders of Anstein Island, Hatu, are so sincere, it seems that it is not appropriate not to accept such a big gift.

Stay for three days?

In three days, there will be a complete corpse left in your ancestral grave, and I will count you as a winner!"

In fact, as the elder of the largest indigenous tribe on the island of Anstein, Hatu is not really stupid, but he does not know the necromancer, let alone Daxiu Victor, in the face of the increasingly strong and powerful Victor clan, what can Hatu do in addition to relying on the ancestral spirits that have been worshiped for generations?

The place where the Hatu clan worships the spirits of their ancestors is a hill in the middle of a dense forest, and because of the movement of magma, the cracks in the surface of the hill from time to time emit a hot white mist, not only by the force of nature.

As soon as he came here, Zhu Peng really felt the breath of death accumulated day after day, year after year, this breath is so deep and long-lasting, with Zhu Peng's experience, he immediately discerned that this land of death has been operated for at least a thousand years.

It is even very likely that this place was not sacrificed by the Hatu clan at the beginning, but after the original sacrificial group was destroyed, the Hatu clan was attracted to continue the sacrifice, and the power of death and fire was mixed together, and Zhu Peng could feel a powerful force contained in it, quietly waiting for it to revive again.

Walking forward with a cane in his right hand, he found a crack in the ground and jumped in, the surging earth fire and poisonous gas were steaming, if it weren't for Zhu Peng, just the hot air here could stop the existence below the holy realm from moving forward.

Placing his left hand across his waist, the Necromancy Ring "Dripping Blood Stone" flashed with a strange brilliance in the darkness, the white bone armament had been activated, and the ring contained the dragon scale blood skeleton and five elite skeleton soldiers, which did not need to be summoned by Zhu Peng, so his magic power at this moment was quite abundant.

What are the undead?

Under normal circumstances, the special existence of a long life span and resurrection from the dead, there is no systematic belief civilization among the native tribes on the island of Anstann, and their culture hopes that death is just a long sleep, and one day the dead will wake up in the long sleep and return to the world again.

But this cultural view is actually no different from artificially created undead creatures.

In this underground corpse cave, as Zhu Peng stepped through his thousand-year-old peace, there was really a shriveled zombie with green hair crawling up, and their eyes flashed like a beast thirsty for blood the moment they saw Zhu Peng, and then pounced.

Six skeleton soldiers appeared around in an instant, and the green-haired zombie that had the fastest impact and pounced the most was instantly smashed to pieces by the double-hammer skeleton soldiers.

Objectively speaking, these resurrected zombie level levels placed in the depression of the stone wall are still good, the force sensitivity is quite high, and they will also spray poison, and some zombies temporarily summoned by strong second-order or even third-order necromancers are almost at this level, but in front of the skeleton knife array controlled by Zhu Peng, it is not enough to see.

There is no need to hide his ability here, needless to say, the fierceness and combat power of the dragon scale mutant blood skeleton, the five skeleton soldiers around him have also been manipulated by Zhu Peng to become high-level fighters.

The Blood Skeleton had never awakened the soul of a weapon master, and its superb and amazing martial arts combat ability came entirely from Zhu Peng's secret control, and at this moment, it was completely equivalent to six mutant skeletons that had awakened the soul of a weapon master.

Controlling six skeletons to surround and protect himself, even if the poisonous mist sprayed Zhu Peng did not retreat, he controlled a skeleton soldier to block it when the meat shield passed, collapsed one, and summoned another from the corpse between turning his hands, and the magic power consumed was not proportional to the combat power formed at all.

And this is an advantage that other necromancers don't have to learn at all, not only do they need to revive the skeleton and cultivate the skeleton domination to an extremely high level, but they also need to have at least the cultivation level of the Sacred Sword Saint level.

The existence of the Sword Saint Necromancer's dual part-time job has almost never been a case in the long years of this world, and even if it has occasionally appeared, it is definitely not a human race. Because it's not necessary, with that kind of talent, if you concentrate on cultivating a subject, you may be able to become stronger and go further, Zhu Peng, this is a completely special situation.

Under the maintenance of a group of pseudo-mutant skeleton soldiers, Zhu Peng, with his keen magic sensing ability, quickly passed the level and slashed, chopping melons and vegetables, and found the strongest gathering point of magic power in the entire area.

“...... Oh my God, I really have to thank Hatu and his tribe, or I'd be unkind. "When he came to the center of the magic and walked to a lava pool, when he saw the existence in the lava pool, even Zhu Peng couldn't help but mumble.

I saw that in the lava and flames, an intact humanoid demon body about five meters tall floated inside, and the death and flames accumulated over thousands of years had transformed it to the edge of becoming a necromantic demon.

Without Zhu Peng's appearance, as long as it takes a few decades or more than a hundred years, this long-dormant demon will be born with a second spirit, and then wantonly slaughter all living beings on the entire island of Anstann!

Because the demons almost died in vain, the creature of the necromantic demon rarely appeared, especially the one in front of him who was at least the legendary/holy realm rank before his death, for Zhu Peng, it was simply a free gift package that suddenly smashed his head.

In this world, high-level necromancers often summon and cultivate zombies, so that skeleton soldiers are soldiers, and thick-skinned zombies are generals, complementing each other until they are promoted to the Sanctuary level necromancer has a ghost bone dragon before replacing it.

However, Zhu Peng directly obtained a necromantic demon with infinite potential here, even if it was compared to the ghost bone dragon of the Sanctuary-level necromancer, it was not necessarily inferior.

Ordering the other six skeleton soldiers to surround him, Zhu Peng sat cross-legged in front of the demon corpses in the lava pool and began to pinch the seal and cast spells, normal necromancers must be wielding magic wands, but Zhu Peng is more accustomed to adjusting his mental and magical state with seals, this is just a matter of habit, and it does not involve too many other factors.

With Zhu Peng's spell casting, the earth power and death breath that had been silent for thousands of years in the entire lava corpse cave were awakened, not only the seal recipe and necromancy, but also the ancient cultivation secret technique Zhu Peng from the jade profile, and now he has gradually reached the point where he has learned through all the sects, and in the corresponding situation, he exerts the most suitable corresponding ability, regardless of the source of the law, all of which have been turned into what he has learned, thought, and obtained.

(Originally, I wanted to use half a month later, to defeat the pirate group's wanton killing, and use that death and fear to improve myself to become a legend of the Sanctuary.) Now, it seems, it doesn't have to be. )

As Zhu Peng cast the spell, the huge demon in the lava pool gradually stood up, and it opened its eyes a little dazedly, and saw the man sitting in front of him with both hands holding the seal. At the same time, it also saw darkness, horror, killing, and death.

"Revive, my child. You're killing, and I'm ...... The Lord of Destruction!"

The majestic and vast necromantic magic spread, faintly making the entire lava corpse cave that was boiling on fire shake and vibrate, and in it, in front of the great demon standing in the lava pool, Daxiu Victor's forehead extended demon horns, and his eyes were full of intense crimson, only the inner heart of his core was a pure golden fairy heart surging like a volcano.

Outer demons and inner ways, all laws are one.

"Follow my will to bring killing and death to this world!" The rune that belonged to Zhu Peng gradually formed on the demon's forehead, it oscillated and trembled slightly, but finally calmed down, the rune seemed to be a dancing flame, and it was like a soaring dragon, at first it was bright and flickering, and then it gradually calmed down.

The two sides exchanged qi and magic, and surrounded by a group of zombies and skeleton soldiers, they were both promoted to the legendary realm of the holy realm.

And half a month later, the confident Seven Thieves came together, but they didn't know that they had chosen the most inappropriate time and an opponent who should not be chosen.

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

"Brothers, you have food, gold, wine and women in front of you, what should you do now?"

"Kill it!"

"Kill it!"

"Very good, let that little bastard of the Victor family really understand the bravery of the heroes of the sea, damn, he won't give him 100,000 gold coins and a sister, I will make him regret this matter in hell. Standing on a high place, the great pirate Jossen was in high spirits.

A territory that had just been operated for more than half a year, and the total was only a security group of two hundred people, dared to disobey Uncle Qiao Sen's words, and he wanted to poke the sharp wooden stick into the anus of that little bastard of the Victor family, and then watch it slowly poke out of his mouth.

"Boss, the one-eyed man has rushed forward first!"

When Qiao Sen was still fantasizing, a subordinate came to report, Qiao Sen was stunned for a moment and came to the side of the boat, and sure enough, he saw that Oneeye, who was also one of the seven thieves, had already led his thieves to pounce first.

"Damn, brothers, get on it, or the gold and the woman will be robbed of all by that one-eyed mongrel. "Pirates fight land battles, don't think about it, there must be no artillery, in this world, even the longbow has not been developed and designed, and muskets, artillery and the like don't even think about it.

It's not that it can't be invented, but that magic is too high a substitute for technology, almost everything that technology can do can be done, and magic that technology can't do can also be done, but magic only serves the nobles and high-level lifeforms of the upper class, and it is difficult for it to radiate and popularize to the civilian class.

The way of magic is natural and environmentally friendly, it can be passed down for tens of thousands of years and hundreds of thousands of years in a world, and it will not burn the plane resources too much, and the scientific and technological civilization is the most resource-burning one of all the civilization systems, if you can't break through the fifth order before the resources of the entire planet plane are burned out, then the entire civilization is waiting to be trapped in that planet plane.

Like other civilizations, technological civilizations require a lot of luck to grow.

Contrary to the expectations of the Seven Thieves, the 200-man infantry regiment of the Victor family on the island of Anstein was not all concentrated in the earthen fort, but lined up to meet the enemy head-on, obviously intending to keep the enemy out of the territory.

Seeing this scene, the thieves were almost all happy, on the one hand, they were angry at the arrogance of the other party, and on the other hand, they were also happy that they didn't have to attack the fort and gnaw hard bones, although the earthen fort built in half a year actually didn't provide much of a high defense advantage.

The pirates' equipment is relatively sophisticated among the thieves, but it is still impossible to compare with the regular army, and some pirates scream wildly, baring their strong pectoral muscles and running out, and then being shot down by a large screen of ultra-long-range arrows...... England or Victor's longbow was invented by Zhu Peng in this world, since it was easy to use, how could he not equip his family troops?

And the pirate spies are difficult to understand the difference between the longbow and the ordinary bow, the large area of arrows that fall down with a parabolic trajectory, can not kill the pirates who like to run naked on the battlefield to show their ferocity, it is simply torture, the pirate one-eyed thought that with his thieves to kill an infantry regiment that had just been formed for less than half a year, it must be a quick victory in a short time, and as a result, under the cover of the high-frequency arrows of a hundred Victor longbowmen, more than two hundred pirate thieves were shot scattered before they ran to the close encounter.

Even that third-order pirate One-Eyed was killed in the rain of arrows from high-frequency and intensive strikes, and if he didn't enter the Holy Domain, he was just a mortal after all, and only one mistake on the battlefield was enough to kill him, not to mention that he had made far more than just a mistake.

(With this quality, it's really not worth it for me to be promoted to legend for them.) Standing on the side of the infantry regiment on horseback, this kind of battle made Zhu Peng almost a little sleepy, as a Dan division, he had an instinctive sense of danger, so he had this qualification, although in this world Zhu Peng did not hold Dan again.

Because after the metal, wood, water, fire, earth, light and darkness, the Yin and Yang Five Elements Dan Dao of the main body has been stabilized, and now even if it is an advent body, even if he does not hold the Dan, Zhu Peng can maintain the power control of the Dan Master, if he holds the Dan with this demon physique again, bringing back the main body may affect the already stable balance, and holding the Dan in another world is neither valuable nor necessary for the current Zhu Peng.

With the experience of One-Eye's past, the pirates who felt that they had lost nearly a fifth of their men for some reason stopped a lot, and then they began to reluctantly line up...... Then they will charge the whole army together.

(It's a little bit like that, and while tactically it's still ugly, it's at least a bit of a bandit.) )

The group of pirates scattered from all directions, at the forefront are the remaining six pirates, the low demon world is particular about the courage of soldiers, and the high demon world is even more so, if you as the strongest boss dare not take the lead in the charge, the younger brother below looks down on you and it is difficult to maintain morale.

All members of the 200-man infantry regiment on Zhu Peng's side are equipped with foot-mounted crossbows, and the 100-person mid- and long-range crossbow arrows in the front formation shoot at close range with sword and shield combat, and the 100-person Victor longbowmen in the rear formation are difficult to fight with hand-to-hand weapons after high-frequency shooting, but it has little impact on their continued use of foot-operated crossbows.

It can be said that the total number of 200 well-equipped archers can be imagined for the killing effect of the pirates who do not have a high armor rate.

But in this world, pirates have formed a culture, and those bandits who can't eat and go up to the mountains to be bandits in ancient China on the earth are not the same level of morale, and these guys are forced to rush and kill with huge casualties.

"Front, shield. ”

If he didn't give an order, it would be within the range of the pirate throwing weapons, just to practice and see blood, Zhu Peng didn't want to have too many wounded, and at the same time he cast a spell to notify Danny in the forest on the far side to charge, with this command, Danny, who was heavily armored and riding on the crotch iron horse, was like a metal beast, holding a round shield and a giant long sword.

He was also followed by a group of fifty cavalry, of which the first twenty-five were veritable heavy cavalry like him, with heavy armor on horseback, and even heavy armor and heavy armor, horses and horses were connected by barbed iron cables, it was the group of people who followed Zhu Peng at the beginning, and the twenty-five new cavalry behind them were light cavalry, but even the light cavalry was light armor and scimitar equipment.

Not only that, but behind the Victor cavalry brigade was also followed by a wooden spear and a stone spear machete, and the equipment was more chaotic, but the momentum of the two hundred native troops, since Zhu Peng meditated in the lava corpse cave for three days and ambushed the necromantic demon, the native elder Hatu seemed to feel something, and decisively took the whole clan to kneel and lick in front of Zhu Peng, this ruthless old guy even killed his unyielding eldest son with his own hands, and expressed his willingness to send his grandson to Victor as a servant.

Such a decisive and ruthless old man made Zhu Peng sigh when he saw it, if he was born in the mainland, this old guy in front of him would probably be a hero.

The terrifying heavy cavalry and light cavalry broke through the formation, supplemented by the cover of 200 native auxiliaries, and the pirate army, which had suffered heavy losses under the arrow curtain, gradually collapsed in morale, and no matter how hard the remaining six thieves fought hard, it would be useless.

With both hands extended, a circle of terrifying necromancy arrays appeared on the battlefield filled with death and blood, and then the next moment, a huge flame demon more than five meters tall walked out of the demon array, it was just a wave of the flame sword in his hand, and the extremely skilled pirate Qiao Sen was cut off the lower half of his body, and the high temperature charred his wounds, so that this rampant pirate leader could not die for a while, and could only cry out and struggle miserably.

"Surrender...... Or death?"

Under the effect of magic power, the necromancer of the Sanctuary level flew high, today's battle was a bit boring for Zhu Peng, in fact, his own power was not really used, and the invasion war had already ended with the appearance of the Hole Card Cavalry Regiment and the submission of the native tribes.
