Chapter 232: The Star Islands and Pirates
Ryan's pursuit was soon over. But looking at his somewhat annoyed face, it seems that this time he didn't leave Catherine or hit her hard, no one will say anything about this, Ryan certainly has the strength to kill Catherine, then Catherine has to stand in place and be beaten, the same legendary mage, Catherine wants to retreat with her whole body There are too many means, Ryan can't take care of it alone, it is difficult to leave the opponent.
Faras walked over alone and whispered to Ryan that Master Victor had used the Time and Space Gate to return to the Imperial Capital according to the original plan, and everything here had already ended, and if Ryan didn't come back for a while, Faras and several of their archmages would join forces to break through the walls of Seabreeze City, allowing the elite of Jonas's legion to rush into the city for street fighting.
Seeing that everything was being carried out according to his predetermined plan, Ryan's face became much better, just now he pursued Catherine, but when he caught up with the other party hundreds of kilometers away, he found that Catherine simply stayed in place and waited for him to come, and after seeing Ryan chasing, Catherine actually made a look of letting the king deal with it, which made Ryan not know what to do.
Of course, Ryan knew very well that with Catherine's character, he would never be caught, and if he took 10,000 steps back and said that if he really brought Catherine back, it also made Ryan very reluctant, although there was no personal relationship between him and Catherine, but after all, there were also some things that made him absolutely unspeakable, such as the night in Farath's bedroom, such as the accident in the City of Bones, Ryan didn't want Faraz to be unhappy because of these things.
Of course, Ryan also has a very important excuse, that is, his teacher Galib once got rid of him and let Catherine go, and now Ryan has the strength to protect himself in front of Catherine, and even has a little upper hand, so every time he faces Catherine, Ryan always grits his teeth to teach the other party a lesson, but he always relents at the last moment, this time is naturally no exception, Ryan told Catherine about the relationship between Galib and Catherine, hoping that she would be able to repent, but Catherine in turn made a request to himγ
If Catherine repeats her old trick and lets Ryan join the undead army or something, Ryan will definitely refuse, and maybe start fighting directly, anyway, Catherine's strength is enough to protect herself, and Ryan is not worried that she will kill the other party by mistake for a while, but Catherine's request makes Ryan unable to refuse, looking at Catherine's face full of guilt, Ryan feels that the woman in front of her is still human, not exactly the kind of undead creature who has abandoned everything.
This matter also has something to do with Ryan, who thought about it and finally agreed to Catherine with a wry smile. Catherine's expression is really ever-changing, people can never figure out what this beautiful woman is thinking in her heart, a second ago she still had a very guilty expression, making Ryan feel that she was really unhappy not to agree to her request, but when Ryan's promise was exported, she left with a smile on her face, looking at the smug look in Catherine's eyes when she left, Ryan was secretly annoyed in his heart, feeling as if he had fallen into the opponent's scheme, and this mood has affected his position in Seabreeze City repeatedly.
It took more than an hour for Ryan to pursue Catherine, and by the time he turned around, the battle outside Seabreeze City had already ended, although Seabreeze City still had 50,000 Naga warriors and tens of thousands of undead elites stationed there, but without the protection of the legendary powerhouse, the city had already existed in name only, as long as Ryan and the others were willing, plus a little enough time, it would be easy for them to turn this place into a ruin.
This truth is not only human, but also the Naga and the undead in the city are naturally very clear, so before Ryan could say a few words to Faras, a surprising information came from the scouts in front of him, and a large number of enemy troops in Seabreeze City began to flee towards the depths of the sea. Originally, Ryan didn't know how to explain the fact that he pursued Catherine and let her retreat, but now he was overjoyed when he learned the news, but his face was full of anger, and at the same time, he directly rushed into the sky with a teleportation magic and flew in the direction of the sea.
This time the alliance crusade does not care about just recapturing some territories, the more important strategic goal is to completely defeat the enemy forces in this area, so that they can not form a threat, only in this way can this former enemy-occupied area become their own solid rear. Now that it is done, this unexpected enchantment has appeared, and it is no wonder that Ryan and the others are anxious.
When all the leaders of the Alliance's Eastern Crusade Army were concentrated at General Orlando outside Seabreeze City, less than one-tenth of the enemy troops stationed in Seabreeze City were left, not only that, but according to the observation of scouts and the magic of Faras and other archmages, the flank troops that were originally arranged in the ocean on both sides of Seabreeze City also disappeared, and I don't know whether they retreated to Seabreeze City or turned around and dived directly into the sea.
Looking at the situation in front of him, Orlando couldn't help but sigh, if he was willing to wait for a few more months, dozens of warships from the Royal Fleet of the Imperial Capital would go south to join them here, and then besieging Seabreeze City would not let so many enemies escape, but the Half-Demon Army on the Western Front of the Alliance and the main force of the Undead Legion with no trace would never give Orlando such a long time, in fact, in the past few days before and after Orlando and they came to Seabreeze City, the military report of the fierce battle between Cassano and the Half-Demon Vanguard had been placed in his hands, although there was no problem under the strict defense of the Alliance army, but there is not much time left for Orlando to solve the problem on the Eastern Front.
"Brother-in-law, where do you think these guys are going?" asked Faras in a whisper.
"Star Islands!" Orlando replied with a sigh.
The name of the Star Luo Islands immediately reminded everyone present of a notorious profession, that is, the "pirates" who have been threatening the north-south shipping of the mainland, but those murderous guys have not appeared for a long time, probably swallowed by the army of the undead. It's just that this time, the remnants of the undead legion plus tens of thousands of elite Naga, if they are allowed to entrench somewhere in the Star Luo Islands and become pirates again, sooner or later they will pose a huge threat to the empire's northern and southern shipping and coastal cities, of course, no matter how soon this threat takes effect, it will be a long time later.
"Unfortunately, we don't have that much time. General Orlando glanced at his companions beside him, shook his head and said: "Forget it, although we didn't succeed this time, we have basically completed the goal of this Eastern Crusade, now we still have to recapture Seawind City as quickly as possible, and then leave a force to guard this area to prevent the counterattack of these remnant enemies, and the remaining troops should be transferred to the Western Front in the shortest possible time." β
Clifford nodded, he looked up at Ryan who was flying in the air in the distance, facing the sea raging, and said with a wry smile: "These guys are also smart, they scattered and fled, even if Ryan wants to use the forbidden spell, he can't catch them all, he can only do a little bit of personnel, and destroy some more." β
"It's a pity, even if we reach the level of the Great Magus, we still can't fly and fight in the sky for a long time, even Alendor has a hard time doing this, no wonder the sky and the sea have always been forbidden areas for us humans!" Faras said with emotion: "At this point, we can't help Ryan kill the enemy, but we are not useless at all." β
Seeing Faras smile at him, Clifford also smiled back, and he spoke after Faras: "Come on, a few of our great mages will join forces to break through the defenses of Seawind City, and then hand it over to the warriors of the imperial capital!"
"Okay, pass my order, prepare to attack the city!" Orlando waved his arm and gave the last attack order of this crusade.
Seeing Seabreeze City being bombarded by the magic of the enemy archmage, looking at the legendary mage in the sky above his head, the shark shark Shark Eye did not hesitate to dive his body into the deep sea, although Lane's magic can cause a large area of damage, but the range is only limited to the surface of the sea, and when the shark Shark Shark Dyer dives to the bottom of the sea at a depth of hundreds of meters, he no longer has to worry about being hit from the air.
This time, the shark fishman shark Dyer followed the master Shadurielna to the Sea Breeze City through the teleportation magic array, thinking that it could be a big killing, and it was best to kill some strong people and then devour their flesh and blood, in order to achieve the purpose of making himself advanced again, who knew that the nightmare of the shark fishman unfolded, and the legendary mage of mankind completely defeated the shark fishman with only three spells, so that it had to use its own life-saving secret technique to get away with a life.
The current shark fishman shark Diye has lost the power of the legend, and now he is at most an ordinary high-level warrior, even if he can completely heal his injuries in the future, I am afraid that it is impossible to return to the legendary realm, as soon as he thinks of this, the shark fishman hates Ryan very much, he does not know how many powerful people and forces he has offended under Shadurielna, and now he has no strength to protect himself, and the shark fishman does not plan to return to the bottom of the sea, if possible, find a place to hide in the deep sea area near hereγ
The idea of the shark-man has appeared in almost all the Naga and undead creatures who have successfully escaped, and the Naga people have come from afar, and they don't know the specific terrain here, but the undead creatures are very familiar, after all, many of them were created in a secret base somewhere in the Star Islands, and now after losing their commander, these undead creatures are instinctively "born" to themselves fled the area, and the clever ones of the Naga crept behind the undead creatures until they saw a vast sprawl of star-studded archipelagos.
