Chapter 194: Return to the Island
Without Sola by his side, Aegie made his way to the southwest coast. At the same time, he will briefly note down the terrain, topography, and some special places along the way. For example, the swampy and dangerous places encountered before and the misty jungle that you passed through later. If it is necessary to establish a defensive line and stabilize the rear, these places undoubtedly need special attention, and of course they can be used more.
As the route approached the coast, the terrain reverted to the normal valley wilderness, and there was nothing else to pay attention to, so Edge quickened his pace and flew intermittently with the wings of the wind. After half a day, he finally came to the southwest coast.
The southwest coast has to be said to be a beautiful landscape.
Stretching from the southwest to the beach, there is a mountain peak, then a lush jungle, then a vast lawn, and then the beach. The beach is full of shells, seabirds, green turtles, and some sand crabs that attack people.
The scenery is particularly stunning as far as the eye can see. With the sea breeze blowing, it is even more refreshing. After spending a long time in the ruined interior, coming here feels like you've come to another world. The mood will become noticeably cheerful and relaxed, as if the long-suppressed heart has been released.
But the beauty and tranquility of the coast may not last.
Edge was deeply worried.
With the fall of the interior of the empire, various forces have taken possession of the land, so some people have set their sights on the sea. And now the sea is mostly occupied by pirates. The situation is even less optimistic. First, the people on land put their targets on the sea, and the developed pirates shifted their targets to the land. The battle between the two can be triggered at any time.
As a result, the coast will inevitably be engulfed in flames.
Aegie didn't want that to happen, or even allow it. Now that he has come to this coast, his purpose is to return to Blue Sky Island, lead the Great Sword Squad of Blue Sky Island to grow stronger, and then sweep away the arrogant pirates and unify the entire southwest sea. and then unite with the southwest interior and the western Bailey, and develop into a powerful new 'new royal power'.
After resting for half an hour, Edge's magic recovered quite a bit. In a hurry to rush to Blue Sky Island, he immediately condensed the wings of the wind and followed the route in his memory to Blue Sky Island in the southern seas.
At this time, a battle was going on in a small sea area to the west of Lantian Island.
De Lael stood on the transparent water whale he had condensed with his special control water elemental magic, staring coldly at a warship equipped with several cannons in front of him. A flag fluttered on the warship, and the pattern on the flag was a cross. The cross is not the golden color of the Holy See, which represents light, but black.
They were a nearby group of pirates, known as the Black Cross. The leader of the Black Cross Pirates, a sorcerer who knows dark magic, is confronting De Laere. She was dressed in a black robe with an equally black hood attached to it. The sorcerer wears a black hood and dresses himself up mysteriously.
The Sorcerer is a type of wizard, but is called a sorcerer of betrayal. A sorcerer who betrays is not a pure sorcerer. This is mainly due to the fact that the sorcerer understands witchcraft but forcibly withdraws from the realm of witchcraft halfway through. After getting rid of witchcraft, he relearns other magic, but due to the imprint of witchcraft, his magic will be weirder and more powerful than normal magic.
The number of sorcerers is very small, because those who have learned witchcraft are called fallen sorcerers. It is very difficult for this kind of magician to break free from the restrictions of witchcraft, and the odds are very small. If you can get rid of it, you will become a sorcerer. If you can't get rid of it, you will die directly.
The confrontation with the Sorcerer's Black Cross warship is very distinct, and behind Delare, there are two warships. Both warships fluttered a flag, and on the flag was the pattern of a big sword, domineering, mighty, showing a desirable glory.
The banner of the greatsword was designed by Delaer. At this moment, he wants to defend the glory of the great sword.
The incident originated from a month ago, when the Great Sword Squad, which was originally developing its power on Blue Sky Island, was suddenly attacked by a pirate group. This group of pirates is the Black Cross. At first, De Laere was very surprised that there were pirates who could cross the Cannibal Bay through the teleportation array arranged by Bailey and reach the vicinity of Blue Sky Island! After learning that the leader of the other party was a sorcerer, De Lael was no longer confused.
The strangeness of the sorcerer, it is not difficult to break the teleportation array that has been protected.
Since that day, the Greatsword Squad has been attacked by the Black Cross Pirates, because the Black Cross Pirates have also taken a fancy to Blue Sky Island and want to capture Blue Sky Island.
Naturally, De Lael would not agree to this, and he led the Greatsword squad that had been developed for a period of time to defend and counterattack.
Delare's strength is not boastful, under his leadership, the Black Cross Pirates besieged them with cannons for a month, and they still did not suffer much damage. And today the Black Cross Pirates attacked again, and De Lael thought that the Black Cross Pirates had been attacking for a month, and they must have consumed a lot, so they boldly counterattacked.
It was his first time at sea for a counterattack a month after adopting a defensive strategy.
Before, because he didn't know the strength of the Black Cross Pirate Regiment that suddenly appeared, De Laer adopted a conservative defense strategy to find out the strength of the Black Cross Pirate Regiment. However, because the leader of the opponent is a sorcerer, and he commands the warship in the sea, he cannot accurately detect the opponent's strength.
But even so, he believed that the Black Cross Pirate Regiment had been attacking the Greatsword Squad for a month, and there was no place to supply within a hundred miles of Blue Sky Island, so the consumption of the Black Cross Pirate Regiment must be extremely high. At this moment, with the resources and strength retained by the Great Sword Squad, it is enough to deal with them.
"Hmph, you're finally out, boss of the Greatsword Pirates, Delare!" confronted Delare, the leader of the Black Cross Pirates, the Sorcerer, whispering at him.
Delale was a little surprised to hear her words. This sorcerer's voice is a woman's, and the other party is actually a woman?!
But what if it's a woman? In this cruel era when battlefields are frequent, it doesn't mean that the other party should be merciful if he is a woman. What's more, the woman in front of her is very powerful, and she is a weird sorcerer. Delaere didn't dare to be careless. However, he was still curious about why the other party suddenly attacked the Great Sword Squad, and how did she know about Blue Sky Island?
"Why are you attacking our Greatsword Squad?" asked Delare, looking at the sorcerer who couldn't see his face.
The other party's sorcerer was silent for a while, then moved his head and said, "Nonsense! In today's situation, do you need a reason to grab a piece of territory?!"
"Hmph, Delare, now I'll give you two choices. One, take your companions and leave Blue Sky Island!, two, you and your companions are drowned under my artillery fire!" The sorcerer didn't talk nonsense to De Laer, and shouted directly.
When De Lael heard her words, he was stunned, then shook his head and smiled.
He was no longer hostile to the sorcerer in front of him.
When he heard the sorcerer say the word "companion", he was no longer hostile to the sorcerer. In this cruel era, there are many people who call the people who fight around them their comrades. This shows that this person has feelings, affection and righteousness.
De Lael remembered that Edge was such a person.
"I'm sorry, but it's impossible for me to leave Blue Sky Island. β
"If you want to say why...... Oh, then I'll have to correct one of your mistakes. β
"I'm not the boss of the Greatsword Squad, I'm just a coolie...... I think that guy was using me like a coolie......"
"And!"
"We're not pirates, we're ...... Clan. β
The sorcerer was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly shouted angrily: "You said you are not the boss?!"
"Hmph! It turns out that I've been underestimated, that's good! Now, let you see the true power of my Black Cross!"
The sorcerer shouted, waved his hand, and four warships floated from both sides of her ship in unison. The four warships were side by side, and the cannons were aimed at the two warships of the Greatsword Squad, completely suppressing the Greatsword Squad!
"What?!" Delaire was shocked when he saw it, this sorcerer could hide four warships silently?! And these four warships can dive? Is this also the arcane effect of the sorcerer in front of him?!
"Hmph, do you think that if I fight for a month, it will consume a lot?!"
"Then you are very wrong! My Black Cross is bound to take Blue Sky Island! How can you make a stupid strategy of attacking without supplies?!"
"If you think we're out of food and go out to sea to attack us, thenβ"
"If you want to live, lay down your banners and surrender!"
The sorcerer shouted excitedly at Delael. At this moment the sea breeze blew and her hood was lifted, revealing her face. De Laere couldn't help but open his mouth when he saw it, the woman in front of him could be said to be scary, or charming.
On the right side of her face is a conspicuous black pattern, like a bewitching flame. The black flame pattern runs from her eyes to the center of her face. Presumably it was because of the price she paid after getting rid of the wizard. This price can be said to ruin her appearance.
However, if you look closely, you will find that her facial features are exquisite. The left side of the face is still beautiful without imprints. If the large black mark on the right side of her face made the left and right sides asymmetrical, she should be considered a beautiful woman.
She wore a hood before, which must have meant a bit of concealment. After all, such a black mark is really disfiguring for a woman.
De Laere looked at her, a little surprised. But now is not the time to be surprised, in the face of the sudden appearance of the four warships that have already been lurking, De Laer's expression is very solemn. He didn't expect that his guess was wrong, he thought that the sorcerer had no combat power supply, but now, there were actually four warships lurking!
"Now, if I give the order, you and your companions will be buried in the sea. Even if you can escape, can you abandon your companions?!"
The sorcerer looked at Dryer coldly, and the meaning was obvious, she wanted Dryle to surrender.
Delaire looked at the sorcerer with a solemn expression, and the companions of the two warships behind him looked equally solemn, even with fear.
They only have two warships, and in the face of the four warships that the other party lurked out just now, plus the previous one, it is five warships, how can they fight?!
There was silence for a long time, and Delaere was unable to reply.
"Of course you can't abandon your companion, and if you do, I'll kill him. β
Just as Delaere fell silent, a laughing voice suddenly sounded in the sky.
Delare, along with the sorcerer, and the others all looked up in amazement.
"Boss ......"
"This guy ......"
"Who?!"
When he saw the people in the air, the greatsword team members directly called out the word of the boss, while De Lael was a little disdainful, but also a little happy. As for the sorcerer, she just wanted to know who this guy who suddenly appeared and could condense the wings of the wind was!
He is naturally Aiji, and he finally rushed back to Blue Sky Island. But as soon as he returned, he had to face a battle.
