Chapter 386: The First Battle (Part II)
At dusk, the sun sets
Wadden's face turned pale. Patrolling around.
At this time, the dead had been eaten by all kinds of fierce fish attracted by blood, and the few survivors were rescued by the old captain Jingke.
The whole ocean is turbulent, but there is no trace in sight, once you lose the opportunity, it is impossible to know a ship and a fleet in the vast sea in the sea.
Wadden held back his breath and asked a man in a black robe with his face hidden in the dark.
"Master Pwmitz, can you know the whereabouts of this Romon?" Wadden asked, "I heard that there are prophetic spells in the magic system. ”
"If the prophecy technique can be used like this, there will be no fugitives in this world, and there will be no more you pirates!" Purmiz sneered and said, "If you want to predict the general direction, I can barely do it, and the fourth-level spell biolocation technique can reach it." ”
"If you want to directly get the specific location of a ship in the vast sea, in magic, only ** masters above level fifteen can, but you only know the location at that time, and you can't keep tracking, if you not only want to know the specific location of a ship, you can always track it, only pray directly to God for answers. It's a pity that the gods generally don't bother to answer such idiotic questions, but if you feel that your divine grace and favor are enough, you can give it a try. ”
"Master Pumitz, as long as you can look in the specific direction, it is enough. Listening to the sarcasm, Waddenwen said with some embarrassment.
Pumiz snorted coldly and said, "I need the breath on one of the other party's items to cast this spell." ”
"Master Pumitz, we don't have any items with the breath of the other party right now, but don't forget, they are fighting here, and although they have been cleaned by fish and the sea, it is not difficult for us to find an item with breath. Wadden said good-naturedly, and as he spoke, he commanded the people to go and get something: "After all, we don't need to find the items of the nobleman named Romon , just any item related to the opposing fleet." ”
A seventh-level mage can progress in the future, he will be a noble person at any time, and he will also borrow a lot of strength from him in the future, and he can tolerate the temper of the other party.
Seeing him like this, Pumitz felt that Waddenwen should not be underestimated, although the sneer was not accepted, but the words were not so harsh.
In a few moments, an item from Lomon's fleet was fished up. The mage took it, and his face became solemn.
He began to chant mystical incantations.
The mysterious power, slowly condensed, condensed a finger in the air, and at the end of the spell, it will receive directions from the other party, and everything is going well.
But just as the spell was about to end, an incredible expression suddenly appeared on the face of the originally serious mage, which was truly a horror that came from the heart.
Almost at the same time, a thunderclap was heard, followed by a huge bolt of lightning piercing the sky.
The mage fell to the ground, blood splattering from his mouth, and his fingers in the air suddenly dispersed.
"Master Pwmitz, what's wrong with you?" the people around him were hurriedly shocked.
With a gasp, Pumiz stopped, he pushed away the pirate he was holding onto, and raised his head, a few drops of cold water fell on the mage's face, he raised his head and stared into the distance: "It's raining?"
That's when it happened. Another lightning bolt struck, and with the lightning, crackling, downpour fell from the sky.
"Master, it doesn't matter to you, right?"
"No, it's okay, it just so happened that a thunderstorm interrupted my spell casting. The mage's eyes narrowed, thoughtful, but he said, "I can't cast this spell on you again in three days." ”
"Well, this nobleman is really lucky. Fifty ships were at sea, and Waldvan glanced at it, and then saw a group of mages behind, although there were only five or six in it, and he still showed a satisfied look.
“...... The people of the Iron Throne are all going to move to the island this time, and my lord, there are many people who can't stay at sea for a long time. I don't know what to do, Pumiz said slowly.
“...... Master Primiz, I'll pay attention, but this nobleman is said to be a druid, maybe we need your strength. ”
"Got it, send the apprentices and the relevant personnel to the island, and we'll leave three mages here - including me!" said Primiz, looking into the distance.
"That's it. Wadden showed a satisfied look, and then showed killing intent in a blink of an eye: "Hehe, this nobleman is really interesting, he actually learned our tactics, and he will definitely not give him another chance next time." ”
Almost at the same time. The wind blew, and Lomon's fleet in the distance was also affected.
In the wind and rain, the vast ocean is dark, countless waves hit each other, stirring and roaring, the power of water stirs each other, and even in the heaven and earth, the water vapor is steaming with each other, accompanied by a certain rhythm, it must shrink and expand.
His body shook, and Romon awoke from his meditation, and the discovery that sank into his body receded like a tidal wave.
When you open your eyes, you can feel the storm outside.
"How's it going?" asked Romon when he came out, unsurprisingly seeing a first mate, waiting.
"My lord, although the storm is big, the Oger Strait is close to the mainland, and the waves are not very large. The first mate said that he was middle-aged, and he was also the group of people in Shakat back then.
Now after fifteen years of still following this group of people, after the development of Shakat. They all became captains or first mates, and Romon didn't mind much about that.
In a feudal country, although the royal power and the power of the sovereign are not taken away by life and death, but at the same time, the stability of status and order is also ensured, and it is basically impossible to rebel.
"When will you be back at the port?"
"Without interception, if we sail overnight, we can reach the port before dawn. ”
"Well, I'll leave that to you, yes. Call me Shakat. Romon said.
"Yes, sir!"
Seeing the first mate go out, Romon sat lazily on the sofa.
Holding a piece of parchment in his hand, flipping through it and looking closely, this is a map of the coastal zone.
This map is very crudely made and inaccurate in the view of the earth, but in this world, this is an accurate map, and it is not a nobleman who cannot get this kind of thing.
Of course, there must be a high-level mage guild and an adventurer's guild.
To some extent, the map was fairly detailed, with the coastal towns and even villages marked, as well as feasible rivers, forests, and coastal waterways.
The entire coast takes on a shape, the coastal plain is developed, and not far away, there is the thorn forest, above which is a large untouched mountain range and forest, forming an almost narrow strip.
After a glance at the Thorn Forest, Romon found his territory and looked around the islands.
There are more than a dozen islands around, but what makes Romon excited is an island called "Treasure Island", which covers an area of ninety-seven square kilometers, and the coast is only 23 miles, and it takes two hours to go back and forth.
At this moment, the door opened, and Shakat in a crisp navy uniform entered: "Sir." What is your summons?"
"Sit, is the sailor in stable condition now?"
"My lord, it has been completely stabilized, except for the war dead, it is estimated that only about 20 people have become crippled and cannot fully recover, and the rest have been stabilized under your healing potions. ”
"Well, this time we took advantage of many opportunities to delay and exhaust the pirates, and won the battle, but there were many problems exposed!" said Romon.
"Yes, I haven't seen each other for more than ten years, and I can't imagine that the level of pirates is so high now. Shakat was a straightforward man, and he said: "In comparison, the combat effectiveness of our sailors, even if it is run-in, is a little worse. ”
"After this battle, what now?"
"It's still a little worse. Shakat understood what Romon meant, and said.
"This time we fought a sneak attack, but judging from the reaction of the pirates, we may not have this opportunity next time, so in the final analysis, it is still strength, this time when you go back, you have to enrich the navy and enrich the four more ships. When Romon said this, he squinted his eyes sharply: "As for the original naval officers, they all retreated. ”
"Yes, my lord!" Shakat couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart when he heard this.
Seeing that he agreed, Romon smiled, this victory, towing back four ships and sinking one, has already done a great job, and the nobles urged it, and there is a reason.
Maybe only by raising oneself can one continue to reap the benefits?
Romon even flashed the thought.
Then he put this thought aside and asked, "You used to be at sea, do you know the situation on Treasure Island?"
"My lord, I know a little bit, because it was said that a gold and silver mine was found on the island, so it was called Treasure Island, but now the gold and silver have long been gone. ”
"What are the conditions, can it be developed?" asked Romon the question.
"My lord, in the eastern part of the island, there is a small * plain, and the other landforms are hills, but the water depth is wide, and it is an excellent harbor place, and near this island, there is the best fishing ground on the coast, rich in all kinds of fish, shrimp and crabs. Shakat thought for a moment and replied.
After a pause, he understood what Luo Meng meant, and said with some excitement: "My lord, I think that island, even if the hills are not to mention, the plains alone can develop five knight realms without any problem! Moreover, there are rich fishing grounds nearby, and if you can get this island as a territory, it can be at least 50 square kilometers of territory. ”
"It's good to have plains, and you can develop some farmland. Luo Meng smiled slightly, just said simply, and shrugged his shoulders: "This piece of meat is not big, it is not small, who is not a nobleman? It is difficult to say whether it can be brought or not." ”
"My lord, didn't you say that the loot belongs to you, and this island, if you take it, should be your territory, right?" said Shakat with a crisp sound as he slapped his thigh.
"Hmm...... Loot refers to general loot, and it is difficult to say whether this island counts or not. Luo Meng touched his chin, thought for a moment, and then said slowly: "I'm afraid it's not so simple, it's really a little tricky!"
"However, it is man-made, as long as you train the fleet well, we still have a chance - I will not be stingy with the meritorious men. Romon said with a sneer.
"Yes, my lord!" Shakat had already heard the meaning, and he saluted, "Yes!"
Watching Shakat leave after a while, remembering that fifteen years ago, this person struggled for his ideals and regarded wealth as dirt, Romon suddenly remembered something on the earth, and couldn't help but smile: "Sure enough, time and setbacks are the biggest weapons, once a person reaches middle and old age, no matter how great the ideal is, he will become a reality, hehe." ”
