Bonnie walks in the snow in the northern part of the empire while phasing on the west shore of the port

When Wei Buwu returned to Naymen Soleton, it was as if he had changed - although it didn't take long.

"I can't reach Sefir. The scouts reported that she did not appear on any line of defense and did not return to the cathedral. With the Overseer's relationship with the Archbishop, there should be a way to reach her. ”

The young marshal of the Seventh Fleet turned pale, as if reflecting the dead air raging in the bay.

There weren't many lights left in the harbor, and I don't know if they were shrouded in the dark magic of the enemy, or if they wouldn't come on again.

The brightest city in the world, with its many lighthouses, has fallen into darkness.

The East Port and the West Port seem to have become two dark cities, and the splendor of civilization is no longer visible. The undead landed and harassed the troops in the streets and alleys, killing people when they saw them, and only a few fortified areas on both sides of the strait were still brightly lit, as if a few lonely lamps were shining on the turbid world.

Connecting these lonely lights is the sea arc battle column that crosses the harbor. That arc was the Freedom Navy fleet moored in Phase Harbor, a mixture of warships from the Fifth and Seventh Fleets.

The Undead Raiders have changed their strategy and are no longer attacking ports that have been defended. More black warships burst into the harbor, leaving the undead behind, and then launching a decisive assault on the Freedom Navy fleet in the strait.

The Free Navy was no less numerically than its opponents, but their ships were originally mostly used for high-sea battles, and were not suitable for broadside deathfights in close battles in the harbor.

Some of the warships of the fleet of the undead even had pulp on them! These pulp sailing ships were more than a hundred years old, and they barely drove out with the help of their undead crews.

Naimon did not understand naval warfare and could not see the current situation of naval battles, but as a fleet commander who was familiar with naval warfare, Wei Buwu was well aware that the situation facing the fleet was gradually deteriorating.

In the previous phase of the landing operation, the Undead Fleet carried out a blockade strategy, focusing only on the Free Army ships that tried to obstruct the landing operation. More fleets of the undead attempted to capture ships through broadside battles, but were defused by Wei Taiping's skillful command.

Today, Blacksails' undead fleet had pressed the Free Navy's battle line into an arc, and one wing of this folded line was under attack from broadside to cross-shelling. In order to defend its own fleet's battle line, the Seventh Fleet had to try to keep a reserve outside the main line in case it was broken through by the undead legions and flanked in front and rear.

Wei Buwu's attitude made the young major understand that the situation facing the Navy was not rosy. The enemy is likely to aim to capture or kill Wei Taiping himself: being able to capture or kill this legendary admiral would make a huge difference in the strategic situation on all oceans.

"The fleet needs the highest level of divine support. Do you have a way to contact her?"

Hearing Wei Buwu's question, Naimon Soleton subconsciously clenched the pendant in his hand that contained Anne's memory, and then shook his head.

"After I parted ways with Bishop Seffir at the cathedral, we couldn't get in touch. ”

Wei Buwu's gaze lowered, and the aura that he had previously attacked when he attacked the other party to protect his life had disappeared.

"Your Highness, the Overseer. If you really can't contact Sephir......"

When he uttered the honorific title "Your Highness", the Kirman with his accent sounded very jerky.

As the son of Wei Taiping, and the highest-ranking person in all the living second generation of the Wei family, he rarely had the opportunity to ask others, and usually only others would ask him.

Ling Yangwei's family split the territory at the outlet of the most prosperous river in the Eastern Empire, and his family name shook the seven seas, and this reputation was originally built with blood as the furnace and pride as the sword fetus.

"If you really can't get in touch, you can use the holy relics she left behind, you've used them once before. I know it's expensive, but whatever it takes, I'm sure my father will be willing to pay it. ”

Wei Buwu glanced again in the direction of the harbor sea: the undead warships charging towards the various units of the Fifth and Seventh Fleets were still difficult to count. The fleet struggled to protect Wei Taiping's flagship "Western Ocean", but the ship was not too far from the tip of the line where the fighting was fierce.

"I can swear by Ling Yangwei's reputation and wealth. That would be a condition that would make the Innovation Society feel excited. ”

The Oriental bowed his head deeply to the Free Army Major, who was much younger than himself.

Wei Buwu had already reached this point, and Naimon could no longer pretend that he was unmotivated.

Even though it has suffered losses now, and the remaining size of the Seventh Fleet cannot be compared to when it first arrived in the Interre Sea, what Wei Buwu promised is the strength of the entire Ling Yang Wei clan after all.

After coming to Interre, Naimon learned more and more about this behemoth.

"The county looks at the riverside, and the mansion is Lingyang".

Binjiang Wei's family is a family of Binjiang Mansion in the south of the Yangtze River, and the three dynasties have been honored for generations, and they have not fallen through troubled times.

Wei Taiping, with the background of an overseas small sect, annexed the local large sect with the joint sect. This sea tycoon rebelled against Mureman, suppressed the Eastern Crusade Army of Taiping Road, and occupied Lingyangmen at the exit of the river as a fief, controlling the golden route to Yingzhou and the silver ship route across the New World.

Compared to Webster's industry, the United Trading Company that Bonnie Seiffel had worked so hard to build was just a hatchling. Even the benefits of the Great Triangle trade under the control of the elves were not enough to compare with the Wei clan, the head snake of Ling Yangmen.

The sheer fleet of the Western Expedition here was already surprising, but it was only part of the Weyss fleet. In the Far East, at least the same number of warships—perhaps three or five times as much—sailed under the Weisler flag, and their total is difficult to calculate if merchant ships are added.

The ownership of an ocean-going merchant ship was enough to support the family business of a minor nobleman of the empire, and there were thousands of such ships under the command of Ling Yangwei!

In the snowy forests of the northeastern region of the Eastern Empire, in the rainforests of the New World and the South Sea Islands, countless druids and shamans maintain all the giant trees of the Lingyang Wei clan, and those timbers are ready to become part of the Wei fleet.

"All the power of the Ling Yang Wei Clan! It should be possible to use it to build a family......

Naimon subconsciously grasped the blue gem in his hand, and the tingling pain coming from his palm confirmed the cruel fact that he was not capable enough to activate it again.

Annie's memory bank was completely unexpectedly undead magic. Not only powerful, but also dangerous.

Everyone else mistakenly thought that Naimon was using the top-notch magic left behind by Bonnie, and only he himself who had used it knew what it was.

It was definitely not a divine spell, but a top-level necromancy left behind by the most powerful magicians - perhaps even a forbidden spell developed during the collapse of the Elven Empire. In the dark ages when the Old Elven Empire fell apart, new magic reached a peak, swallowing up the rationality of the classical era.

But Naimon didn't want to, and didn't dare to refuse Wei Buwu again. If Wei's young marshal really tears his face, there is nothing good to do about Naimon......

"You know, with so much money to make and miss out, Bonnie will definitely come back......!

At this critical juncture, Naimon finally came up with an excuse to stall for time. Little did he know that on the far northern border of the Empire, Archbishop Bonnie Seffir was looking out at the snowy landscape.

"I don't know exactly how Archbishop Sephir left behind the magic, but it looks like the divine command contained in it has been exhausted. The remaining bishops and priests present may not be able to recharge the archbishop's divine power...... But I can muster my spare people and study it. ”

As he spoke, he watched Wei Buwu's eyebrows gradually twist. Wei Buwu frowned and said, "Sure enough, that power is achieved through charging? This is troublesome...... No wonder the power is comparable to that of an artifact. There's no need to waste time, that's not something that ordinary bishops can fill. ”

This excuse for delaying time is reasonable. It can stop thousands of undead legions together, if there is such a magic spell, it is definitely not an ordinary priest can copy it.

"If the fleet still has a priest of the same rank, maybe it can be solved. ”

Naimon said politely again, and the point stopped. If there really were a priest who could rival Bonnie Sefir, Wei Buwu would not have rushed to the hospital so much.

"If only it's charged...... Maybe there is a way. Wei Buwu slammed his high-five, startling Naimon, "Doesn't we happen to have a huge amplification charge device in front of us!"

"The Seventh Fleet even has this?!" Naimon was surprised, "Is the fleet going to use this?

"Not from our fleet. Wei Buwu raised his hand and pointed behind Naimon, "But I think there must be a set of amplification charges there that can reach the artifact level, and we should be able to use its power for other purposes." ”

Naimon turned his head and saw the phase bridge.

A magical miracle that separates the entire strait and allows the two sides to pass through each other, a man-made artifact.

Supporting this massive bridge should of course be a set of devices that keep magical items charged and functional—perhaps the largest in the entire civilized world.

But can this play really recharge Anne's memory bank?

No, more importantly, what happens when it's charged? He looked inside Annie's memory bank, and it did look like a top-notch magic item that could be charged.

He could only ask Anne about her own memory.

"Charge the soul pendant itself?"

Anne's memory bank repeated the question, silent.

It was as if this was the first time Naimon had asked her: in a sense, Annie's memory bank was not only logical, but almost omniscient, and Naimon couldn't believe that it was the memory of that swaggering top magician.

"Hmm...... In short, the battery life of this gem is very good, and you can't charge it. ”

Miss Memory replied very casually and vaguely, as if the original Anne had returned.

Since he knew that there was no negative effect, Naimon decisively agreed to this request, in case he was torn apart by the Wei family's private soldiers on the spot.

"Bring all the priests of the Reform Society, as well as the troops who were originally guarding the bridge. Dismiss the refugees gathered in this area and bring with you all the people you can. I have a hunch that we won't be able to get to the other side of the bridge so easily. ”

After listening to Wei Buwu's plan, Naimon couldn't agree.

Naimon looked around at the bridgehead and shook his head firmly: "No. It's already the largest refugee camp in the whole of the Primordial District, and now I'm afraid that there are 10,000 or 20,000 people crowded here, and you see, even the rooftops nearby are full of people. If I drain the power here, if this place is lost, the people here will probably ...... I can't afford this as an Overseer. ”

"That'...... We each drew an elite squad and quickly crossed the bridge. Even if the bridge deck is stuffed with black knights, we can break through. ”

"Let's do it. ”

After the two came to an agreement, Naimon and Wei Buwu quickly assembled a team of guards and magic users, and gathered all the engineers they could find, ready to set off.

Considering that he wanted to use the power system of this great building, Naimon recruited almost all of the mid-to-high-level magic users in the team, leaving only a minimum of mobile forces to maintain the defensive line.

Most of these people admired Bonnie Seffir as the first Protestant to join the Reformation Society, and most of them were not from Hong Kong, and they were also very curious about the giant magic bridge.

"The generating part is on the east side of the bridge, and the receiving part is on the west side of the bridge. Our mission this time is to restore the connection between the West Port and the East Port, and to regain control of the Phase Bridge. ”

Locals familiar with the bridge told outsiders about what they wanted to achieve, and guests from the republics and even the Far East discussed the situation in low voices.

"No wonder the artillery fort in the east is relatively large, I thought it was because the land in the east port was cheap. ”

"Because the land is cheap, it will be built in Donggang, right?"

The Clergy acted as vanguards, nervously turning on their horses, followed by a team of Marines and Overseers' Guards. And this wasn't even a cavalry team: the clergy who came to the Reformation weren't good at horseback, and most of the guards were originally just infantry.

From a distance, the brightly lit procession is slowly walking up the phase bridge that has been silent for a long time, as if the city is back to normal again.

Only the staggered artillery fire and shouts of killing in the bay reminded everyone that the battle at sea was at a critical moment and that their support was urgently needed.

"We need to rush across the bridge as fast as we can, before the enemy reacts. Cloth God Array!"

Wei Buwu glanced at these people coldly, kicked the horse's belly, and wordlessly accelerated the speed of crossing the bridge. The horse's hooves galloped under the auspices of magic, and it seemed to be an oriental acceleration technique, and Naimon knew that the effect of this technique was roughly equal to that of a six- or seven-stage arcane magic.

Naimon turned his head and shouted behind his back, "Before the enemy reacts, keep up with the team and assault it!"

This small elite force did not cover up: because there was no need.

At the war in Phase Harbor are two armies, two good and powerful armies. They don't think that the other side doesn't understand the basic tactical truths.

The defending Free Army was deployed in the fortresses on both sides, supported by a large fleet, and the invading undead were determined to concentrate their forces and cut and break one of the wings. Their main force was placed on the side of the West Port, trying to eliminate the entire command of the Seventh Fleet and Phase Port in one fell swoop.

Needless to say, they will also raise all attempts by the Free Army to reclaim the bridge.

Almost as soon as the assault troops hit the bridge, all kinds of communication magic and lighting began to radiate from the bridge, and the free army fortresses on both sides of the strait echoed at the same time, and the bays on both sides of the strait did not know how many troops began to deploy again!

"Enemy Attack! Ignite all the lighting magic!"

People no longer rely on the glow of the phase bridge itself, but let out their magic. Ordinary soldiers who did not have the corresponding magic lit torches, like a fire dragon galloping on the bridge deck, igniting the lighting system of the bridge itself.

When the light reflected on the bridge, everyone's faces changed.

"There are ambushes! It's a trap!" "They want to completely block the traffic between the two sides of the port!"

Countless undead began to emerge on the Phase Bridge.

First it was a ghost, then a skeleton, and then a necromancer who appeared with a short-range flash...... At least more than one regiment of undead was stationed on the bridge, and they had even begun to build fortifications!

Now everyone is ready to fight. The few heavily armored knights drew their weapons, and spell users began to busiggle themselves to protect themselves.

Only Wei Buwu, who took the lead and maintained the Divine Formation, had a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and he had no intention of slowing down.

"Mr. Overseer, it seems that they are still underestimating us. Even if this bridge is full of vigilant troops, how many companies can be put -- 500 -- 1,000 people?"

In terms of absolute combat power alone, these less than a thousand undead creatures were not worth mentioning in front of the elite teams of Naimon and Wei Buwu. There are seven or eight bishop personalities in this detachment alone, and Naimon's own arcane level of about three stages is even more grasped, and every personal guard around Wei Buwu can probably overwhelm the opponent.

But Wei Buwu did not intend to stop and settle slowly with the battle: stopping could give the opponent the opportunity to send reinforcements. A normal commander would have prepared a reserve, and the reserve of the undead army would have been prepared in a place that the average person would have never imagined.

"Don't slow down!" the marshal of the Seventh Fleet let go of the reins of his horse, "Maintain the formation, Ladies and gentlemen of the Army, watch me break the enemy!"

He raised his hand, and a sword as bright as a star pointed straight ahead.

The glittering silver rune sword pierced through the darkness and slashed all the way along the bridge deck, killing instantly, stirring up a continuous stream of faint green light!

What's even more terrifying is that this flying murder weapon is like a sapient weapon, automatically chasing down all the undead commanders along the way, those "Friends of Recovery", the Black Knights, and the vampires.

No one can do it. Neither can "people".

The Star Shooting Sword is a one-time spell sword, similar to the magic items used by Western magicians, but more extreme and powerful. At Wei Buwu's age, even if he practiced flying swords, flying swords were not enough to sweep the battlefield, but a runic sword made by the Great Magician of the East can.

This runic sword automatically attacks the most powerful enemies in its path until it exhausts all of its strength. On the battlefield, this rune sword is often used for sneak attacks and assassinations, but on the phase bridge, the Star Shooting Sword undoubtedly exerts its maximum power.

All the undead commanders were forced to deploy in a line, and the sword could easily pick off one commander and run to the next!

It's not that Naimon hasn't seen the spellcasters of the East. During Murrayman's stay, he had a lot of discussions with the spellcasters under Zhang Shiyi's command, and he also knew a little about the differences between the various schools of magic in the East, such as Taoism, Fa-rectification, Inner and Outer Dan, Fu Seal, Fu Jian, and Flying Sword. But it was the first time he had seen a person like the young marshal of the Wei family who relied on throwing money to open the way, and he instantly selected the most appropriate kind of person who threw money to open the way.

"How many different swords, waidan, and scrolls have to be smashed here...... Can he decide to use the 'Star Shooting Sword' in an instant? No, how many magic weapons does he have on him?"

Just as Naimon's mind was spinning with these emotions of "rich people are really annoying", the sharp light of the star-shooting rune sword suddenly turned, and the undead commander in front of him ignored it, and shot towards the bridge on the left hand side!

The silver light hit a huge black shadow, pierced through several green lights, and finally hit some hard hand, and bounced straight out and hit the sky, turning into a veritable "star-shooting" sword.

In the endless darkness on the left side of the bridge, dozens of green lights should also light up along with the light of the star-shooting rune sword, and it was actually a detachment that was sailing vertically towards the Freedom Fleet, trying to form a "D" horizontal fleet!

Due to the darkness over the entire phase port, these ships were previously nearly invisible. They have been quietly anchored in the shadows, just parallel to the Phase Bridge, to the north to attack the Seventh Fleet, and to the south to block the deck of the Phase Bridge.

Almost all of them from the navy exclaimed: "So their reserve detachment is here!"

Just as Wei Taiping had a reserve fleet to fill the holes in the battle line, and the Free Army had always had reserves in Phase Harbor, the undead fleet also prepared the fleets they did not have enough to deploy as reserve fleets.

Unfortunately, this detachment happened to be deployed along the phase bridge, and at this moment it was discovered by Wei Buwu's rune sword.

"Let your people gather in the middle!

"Our men gather in the middle, and those who can't keep up with their equestrians return the way they came!"

Wei Buwu and Naimon Soleton each gave orders to their subordinates.

This is not the East Port and West Port with well-established defensive positions, but on the Phase Bridge!

With this entire fleet, loaded with light and heavy artillery, aiming the bridge in front of them with the shelling ports on the sides, the breakthrough must not have been able to pass smoothly.

For most armies, attacks from the flanks were difficult to deal with. On an open field battlefield, a successful flank attack was enough to crush several of the best companies. Today, the entire flank of the ranks is exposed to the long web of fire of the undead fleet.

The guns on the side of the undead fleet in the distance of the bridge emitted a flash of fire, and from time to time smashed towards the bridge deck.

The shooting was not neat, not orderly, and certainly not accurate. Thankfully, the Magic-Bridge would not be destroyed by any entity's artillery, and most of the shells would only touch the virtual image of the bridge from the side, falling into the sea without any suspense.

However, in front of these battleships, which often have twenty or thirty guns, there will always be people who will be unlucky. Two of them hit the members of the squad, and the people who were hit were hit by a cannonball with a large head and shattered before they could even scream miserably. The bones and flesh of the riders and mounts flowed like splatters on the phase bridge, a terrifying purple on the pale blue translucent deck.

Under such shelling, the second half of the team stopped for a while, and there was a split with the forward team.

"We can't let the formation fail! Without the wheel formation, we can't rush through this fleet!"

As Wei Buwu gave the order, he released smoke from an unknown Dao technique to the flanks. Fortunately, the number of ships in this detachment was not large, only about a dozen ships, which was far from enough to block the entire phase bridge. The cavalry team was also too small for an opponent like a battleship, and most of the ship's guns just splashed in the sea.

"We can't stop! Our opponent is not a scattered undead without a command, but a well-trained and tactically purposeful enemy. Deal with them as if they were the elite of the Empire!"

Naimon shouted, slowing down and trying to regroup the group.

At this moment, the undead detachment that stayed on the side of the bridge also moved.

Commands sung in ancient elven language echoed across the ships, amplified by the necromancers who accompanied them and then passed on to the next one. The voice sounded like poetry, like an aria from an elven classical opera, like the cry of an ancient undead.

The bishop's face changed drastically as he understood the ancient elven language, and hurriedly conveyed the orders of the enemy on the other side to Naimon and Wei Buwu.

"Their rearguard fleet is going to ram the bridge!"

"Hit the bridge?!" "And this tactic?!"

The Phase Bridge is a magical marvel of our time, one of the greatest architectural achievements of this century. It is able to allow land and sea traffic to pass simultaneously without affecting navigation, and both will pass through at the same time in different phases......

In other words, it's the only bridge in the world where ships can be parked.

If the ship can cross the phase bridge, it will be able to intersect with it!

The Wind Summoning spell blew the wind in the darkness. The four battleships of the rearguard were originally far from their position at Naimon, but with this seal, they crashed into the phase bridge itself-

Then stop on the bridge and block all the ways of Wei Buwu and Naimen!

Although they were only third-class battleships, these large ships of several hundred tons were still behemoths relative to the army. Wei Buwu's front team was also forced to stop.

Taking advantage of this time, Naimon finally sorted out the back team and caught up with Wei Buwu's front team. The two of them paused for a moment in the middle of the bridge, silently watching as the undead fleet completely blocked the way to go.

They can do the same later...... There is no turning back. ”

"Seriously, I think it's ridiculous. ”

Naymen Soleton raised his fingers one by one, counted the undead ships in front of him, and muttered to himself. The ship moves and stops very slowly, like an ancient behemoth, something that is difficult for the army to fight.

One, two, three, four.

A full four third-class battleships full of undead sailors crossed his horse.

There is no miscount.

It was the battleship, the behemoth that crisscrossed the seas. These ships were not as new as the ships of the Free Navy, and there were not as many guns, but they also added up to more than two hundred large and small guns.

Across in front of him, and the cavalry behind him.

Attacking a ship with cavalry?

A huge ship laden with legions of the undead, holding back the cavalry.

"-If Archbishop Bonnie Seffir can get back in time, there will probably be a fight, right?"

He said with a wry smile to the commander of the friendly army beside him.

"If you don't try it, how do you know? ”

Wei Buwu, the young man of the Wei clan, the son of Wei Taiping, drew his sword.

"Trouble gather your men first, Your Highness the Overseer. Since they want to block the galloping horses with naval guns, then we will break through the side of the ship with cavalry!"

The young master of Lingyang Gate City shouted loudly.

In such a critical situation, Naimon actually had some expectations.

If it was only his own people, he would probably be already thinking about how to jump into the sea to escape, but with Wei Buwu, the heir of the world's first family, by his side, he was really curious to see what kind of tactics he would see, and even secret methods that no one had ever seen.

Before the Mage Arbitration Society established a true academic world, many magical techniques were actually secret knowledge hidden in the families and sects. The overlord of the Far East and the Far East Seas, Ling Yangwei's reputation is prominent, and since the return of Wei Taiping and his succession as the head of the family, their family tradition has rarely been seen - even rumors.

Most of the time, Wei used money to defeat the enemy, and he didn't need any family heirlooms. Money itself can be considered a powerful form of magic.

But no one has ever doubted that this nouveau riche family must have its abnormal abilities. Even if there was no one, the Wei family was so rich that it should have it by buying.

"Concentrate all on me and switch to the Iron Wall Formation!"

Wei Buwu picked a position that was not easy for the undead fleets in front and behind to hit, and gathered everyone together. There were two fewer divisions than they did when they set out, but that didn't seem to affect their efficiency. Several of the formation masters chanted an oriental incantation, and Naimon felt that the horse's relaxed state seemed to disappear, and the armor on his body was three points heavier.

Unprecedented, the battle to attack the battleship with cavalry was about to begin.
