The situation of the Kingdom of Francis in the South Asian subcontinent is not as the necromancer Baptiste said, there is still strategic room for maneuver, the colonies in Annam, Vientiane and Chenla are now facing the attack of the Liangguang-Qiongya commercial alliance, it can be said that they are on fire everywhere, and they have been in a passive situation.

After the gunboat fleet and the mecha regiment launched an attack, Lin Shenhe, the leader of the Southern Martial Arts Alliance, led Qingyunmen, as well as a large number of heroes from the two Guangzhou, land, and rivers and lakes, taking elixirs such as the Pill of Fighting Epidemics, equipped with golden silk soft armor, and crossed Langshan and waved the army south.

During the day, they divided into small groups to attack the colonial estates of the Kingdom of Francis scattered throughout Annam, and gathered together at night to give full play to the advantages of martial arts masters who were good at night raids to launch attacks on army garrisons.

They have the repeater crossbow designed and mass-produced by Lu Bin, named Zhuge Repeater, which is not only a sharp weapon for long-distance sniping, but also can shoot the crossbow arrow box in one go, creating a terrifying salvo of ten thousand arrows.

Not to mention, the palm thunder that the Qingyunmen people have in their hands throwing a large number of, as well as the heaven-shaking thunder that is preset to ambush, are also quite powerful. In addition, the transport ships that replenish weapons and ammunition have been floating in the coastal area of Annam, ready to dock at any time to provide these knights and rangers from the civilian sector with various supplies, including medicines.

In this era when hot weapons have just risen and there is no absolute gap with cold weapons, the crossbow that has developed to the extreme is no longer under the arquebus, and only long-range artillery can threaten these masters of martial arts.

Unfortunately, it is always people who operate these weapons, and in the face of masters who have been rigorously trained, whose physical functions far exceed those of ordinary people, and who possess extraordinary strength, the soldiers of the Kingdom of Francis will face the threat of death if they are a little lax or negligent.

In addition, the people from Liangguang also adapted and learned to handle these firearms during the battle, and after a short period of exploration, they were even better at using guns and guns than the Francis soldiers.

On the other hand, the undead ships of the Misty Sea began to show their bloodthirsty fangs, attacking not only the merchant ships and warships of the Kingdom of Francis, but also the port docks that had been in operation for a long time, were also attacked by the undead legions accompanying the ships.

Lu Bin copied and moved the complete process of making soul-bound corpses into the undead ship, so that these living undead creatures had the ability to produce and maintain the undead, so the soul-bound corpses operating in the sea of fog began to appear Francis, Annan, Vientiane and Zhenla people - the natives were all leading the way to the enemy and betrayed the country, and according to Lu Bin's concept, all of them were made into undead creatures.

War is the best catalyst! As a ship of the dead in the traditional sense, with the development of war, with the acquiescence and even leadership of Lu Bin, it began to absorb the spoils harvested on the battlefield and underwent a transformation.

Not only have they been upgraded from hard-sailed boats with bent ends to multi-deck, soft-sailed warships loaded with guns, but even their tonnage has begun to climb up, giving them the appearance of strong ships and sharp guns.

In the field of vision of the Kingdom of Francis, the map of the South Asian subcontinent, the sparks that burned everywhere on the periphery, began to connect, destroying their hard-earned family business in full swing.

What is even more infuriating is that the armies from the two frontier territories of the Middle-earth Empire are very shameless in accepting their wealth, and the natives do not resist at all, but actively lead the way to cooperate.

"This is the obedience of the people of the vassal state to the suzerain, after all, we are facing a unified empire whose civilization has shone on its neighbors for nearly two thousand years, and the land area is more than three times that of the Old World. It was a desperate gap, and I even felt powerlessness from the heart. ”

In the secret hall of the hidden location, the hermitage masters from the three kingdoms of Annam, Vientiane and Chenla poured out their bitterness with long sighs, and there were no constructive proposals or good solutions at all.

"Although it is a little difficult to say, I think that the most effective way to turn to Britain's East India Company as soon as possible is at present. Those damned children and grandsons of Elizabeth, inviting us into Indochina, were simply ill-intentioned and made us Francis pawns of temptation, and now that the enemy is exposed, they can't always stay in the safe rear and watch this show end. ”

The alchemist Trofim, whose face was hidden in the shadow of his cloak, resonated with the attendees, because this person was proficient in scarlet alchemy, extracted and synthesized the blood of warlocks from the bodies of local natives, performed surgeries with a high success rate, and created a group of battle warlocks, and his status in the hermitage rose sharply, so the weight of his words became much heavier.

"The greatest threat from the sea, the rumored whip of the South Seas, the young man whose name means caretaker of the Western Gateway, not only controls the vast South China Sea, but also summons a large area of fog so that the undead legions he controls can fight during the day. ”

"Damn it! Our valiant young man Franz has a prick shot from his arquebus, which does not do much damage to an enemy who is already dead. The Heavy Artillery's solid and flowering shells have some effect, but the number is still relatively small. ”

"I remember that we had never offended the Whip of the South Seas, so why would that core member of the Brotherhood of the Seven Seas be so aggressive to us Francis? ”

"The East India Company of the Britain Kingdom, the merchant ships owned by the Britain Kingdom also have to pay taxes to this terrible man when they pass through the South China Sea, it is said that he was also born in the Middle-earth Empire, according to divination, the whip of the South China Sea is the descendant of the leading nobles of the frontier, which can also explain that our colonization of the three kingdoms of Annam, Vientiane and Chenla really angered the terrifying monster of the Middle-earth Empire. ”

The masters of the hermitage opened their mouths to exchange opinions, but after discussing for a long time, they never came up with a good solution to the most pressing problem of the moment, and at most reached a consensus.

That is, the situation when the Kingdom of Francis faced a passive attack in Indochina was the fault of the descendants of the robbers of the Kingdom of Briten, so they gave up part of their interests and invited and allowed the people of the East India Company to enter the sphere of influence of the Kingdom of Francis, so as to attract the attention of the enemy for the poor young man, give them a respite, and then complete the reorganization of the army and restore the combat effectiveness.

The convener of this meeting, seeing that the masters had reached an agreement, picked up their own glasses, drank all the wine inside, and then slowly laid the wine glasses flat, and slowly retreated with their seats, merging with the shadows and disappearing completely in an instant.

The others, finding that the clubhouse began to shake, immediately chose to drink their drinks and calmly withdraw, and they all left not long after.

The Scarlet Alchemist Trofim was the last to leave, looking around at the clubhouse where the dome was beginning to crumble, smiling mysteriously, and then exiting as well.

Opening his eyes again, Master Trofim sat on a throne carved out of the rock, the natural cave in the belly of the mountain, which he had expanded into his own laboratory, and the "incubation room" at the bottom was full of experiments on transplanting the bloodline of the warlock.

"The Empire of Middle-earth has legions of the undead, and the taste is still fresh. As far as I know, the production time should not be long, and after the previous wars, the loss rate is not high, but the number has not decreased in the slightest, but has a tendency to increase. In other words, our enemy and greatest adversary, possesses the ability to mass-produce the undead. This is the essence of a unified empire, and the gap between us is really unbridgeable!"

At that moment, a swarm of bats surged from the top of the cave and rushed down like a mud waterfall not far from the scarlet alchemist's throne.

The blood and flesh splattering scene that would have happened did not happen, and as the bats continued to fall, a wizened man slowly stood up, and then the bats that flew down one after another, constantly rushing into his body, and then turning into a smoky light silk, as dark as a quiet moonless night.

"It's been a long time, honorable Prince Micares......! The source blood in your body is so scarce, have you been fatally injured?"

The Prince of the Blood Clan, who escaped from the secret realm of Shangri-La, after sucking the blood of hundreds of innocent people, slept beautifully in the cemetery for a month, and finally recovered a little vitality, and found that the Brahmans were no longer what they used to be, so he smelled the blood and found a familiar old friend.

"That's right! In the wake of the extinction of a great god who has awakened, I am the only one who escaped, and the others, including the legions of light angels from the Most High Heaven, were killed in the rays of a hundred suns. ”

The Scarlet Alchemist Trofim frowned and fell into a long thought: "We all know that in the early days of this world, there was a very prosperous era of divine judgment. With the prevalence of the union of gods and men, the blood of gods flowed into human society, giving rise to the profession of mage with extraordinary abilities. ”

"Oh! what a wonderful time it was, when a transcendent mage was able to rise up the Floating City and build the Hanging Gardens to reach the Tower of Babel in the sky. However, with the proliferation of mages and the wanton abuse of spells, the world could not bear it and began to fight back. Overnight, spellcasting became a very difficult thing to do, and we also lost our noble status and had to hide our identities to deal with untouchables. ”

"Fortunately, the gods that the pariahs believed in also lost their divine power in the tide of the changing times and began to sleep, interrupting the supreme god's hegemony of sweeping the gods of the Old World. As far as I know, the stronger the gods, the more difficult it is to awaken, Prince Micares, are you sure you saw the Legion of Light Angels die in the flames of divine power?"

The Blood Prince nodded lightly, "I'm sure!" However, based on my observation and personal experience, it should be an extremely powerful ancient artifact. ”

The Scarlet Alchemist Trofim immediately understood: "I see! do you have any plans? Or should I say, what conspiracy is your blood clan ready to carry out?"

Prince Micares couldn't help but shake his head, and then lightly bowed his head: "I can't hide it from you!

"Our people are hidden behind the curtain of history, multiplying for more than three thousand years, having accumulated enough strength to never want to stay in the dark depths again, as a spectator viewer, appreciating the game of the rise and fall of dynasties, we decided to parasitize and control a country and establish an empire belonging to the blood clan. ”

The Scarlet Alchemist frowned: "Do you overcome the Curse of Daylight?or solve the fear of silverware?Control a country, the tropics, temperate zones should be excluded, the Old World is full of vampire hunters, and the left hand of the god Van Helsing is doing a good job." ”

Seeing that the face of the Blood Prince was a little ugly, Trofim immediately changed the subject: "Let me guess which country you are targeting...... The Black Continent is too hot, the New World Quetzalcoatl is too strong, the north? Isn't it? Then the East is left, is it Tsarist Russia in the tundra!"

Micares's face did not change at all, but it was not common sense to not change in itself, so the Scarlet Alchemist immediately knew that he had guessed correctly, he was a little curious about the parasitic plan of the Blood Clan, Tsarist Russia was an afterglow of the Holy Empire, and he did not have any good feelings for the Blood Clan.
