Chapter 481: Sinking (I)

【2nd Update】

Among the four major empires, the Qin Yin Empire was the most shaken, because Lianyun City had fallen. The Iron and Blood Grand Duke dispatched hundreds of Predators, as well as nearly a thousand metal flying machines, to cooperate with the ancient warships to attack Lianyun City.

Lianyun City's defenses were much stronger than before, and countless magic stone cannons, trebuchets, and heavy alchemy crossbows built on some hundreds of meters high boulders were arranged on the coast. However, in front of the Predator, all these defenses seemed so fragile, and the shore defenses of Lianyun City were quickly destroyed, and the Predator Grand Duke dispatched a metal flying machine to throw magic stone projectiles at the facilities in Lianyun City.

The power of these magic stone bullets was so powerful that they destroyed the hard-built fortifications in Lianyun City one by one, killing and injuring more than 200,000 civilians. This damage is not comparable to the damage caused by Saleen in Iron Wall City, but the two of them have the same idea of attacking, they both strike in the same sky, attack with the cheapest equipment, and deal with it by destroying no matter what the target is.

Sephiroth didn't think it was a coincidence, he scolded Salin in the mansion with some gaffes, if Salin had told him in advance that there was such a thing as a metal flying machine, even Cloud City would not have suffered such a big loss.

The nobles of the House of Commons did not dare to anger him, after all, Sephiroth was not only a King of Qin, he was also a Golden Sword Saint, and in a fit of rage, killing people was a very simple matter.

Sephiroth already had a premonition at this time, this Qin Yin Empire, I am afraid that it will be destroyed in his own hands, his nephew is innocent, he has been the emperor for a few years, he has made no achievements, and the power is in his own hands, and in the end, he will inevitably be the king of a dead country. The most hateful thing is that the six-winged flying snake is imprinted in the hands of Salin, and he is not the emperor, so it is impossible to ask for the power of the Grix family.

If the emperor is allowed to invite, he will no longer be able to control the power, and everything will be decided by O'Jarvis.

Can a child who has been sick and weak since childhood be able to control the Qin Yin Empire? The current empire is in turmoil! Sephiroth almost turned gray with his hair. His own two sons, who were not satisfied with it, could not grasp the power of the empire at all, and neither of them had that ambition.

Ambition is something that is more difficult to cultivate than ability. Ability can force training, but ambition is innate.

Saleen's fleet, departing from Port Royal, headed for Ceylon City. The Elemental Magic Tower has been put away, this thing consumes a lot of magic cores when it flies, and the speed of the fleet can reach 100 miles per hour, so there is no need for Saleen to waste energy.

Demonic beasts in the Skaudian sea area are frequent, and Saleen's road is not very peaceful, and it is completely dependent on the ancient warriors that he can ride the wind and waves and move westward without slowing down. Even though it's summer, you can still see ice floes in the deep sea, and it is said that it floated from a continent west of the frozen sea.

The continent is covered with thousands of meters of ice, and every summer, huge icebergs melt, separate from the continent, and drift south, and these icebergs become a disaster for ordinary ships.

Annoyed, Salin slowed down the fleet and hunted at sea. His route was three thousand miles from the coast, and the fishing boats of the Scochenians did not dare to leave the coast more than five hundred miles. There is no trace of human action here, and the demonic beasts in the sea are very curious about the battleship, and many low-level demonic beasts follow the battleship and try to attack. These monsters that tried to attack the fleet became the prey of Saleen, and the battleship had magical equipment specially aimed at underwater targets, and the speed of hunting monsters was quite fast.

The mages were all left with Rex, and the archmages were now carried by Saleen. The magicians used the alchemy room on the dragon wreck battleship to refine magical equipment for the soldiers, which can be regarded as a kind of practice.

The minor nobles near the city of Ceylon were persuaded that no one had any intention of rebelling against Saleen, although everyone was unimpressed by Saleen's cruelty. It's just that Salin's power is too great, and no one intends to touch this mold. Besides, Saleen also has his reasons, His Majesty Downey chased Rex and chased him all the way into the territory of Metatrin, besieging Lone Star City, and everyone can understand Saleen's anger.

Even Guge couldn't deny that if someone did this to his wife, he would go crazy.

Tracey understands this best, when his wife died, he also lost his mind, otherwise with his cleverness, it would be impossible to be subdued by the demon god, and he would still be free in the wilderness. Those ordinary demons, even the great demons, couldn't do anything to him.

Nellis has no interest in this kind of hunting, although there are many magical beasts in the North Sea, but there is nothing unusual, basically every magical beast that appears is already on the magician's magical beast illustrated book.

The fleet went west for a day, and advanced a sea route of fifteen hundred miles,

Seeing that Salen was still in a bad mood, Nellis had a whim, and said, "Master, do you remember the diagram that Rex calculated?"

"What picture?" Salin replied casually.

Neris glared at the people in the cabin, and everyone except Nicholas obediently left. Tracey stood outside the cabin, and no one was allowed to approach.

"When we went to the central temple, Rex used the fuzzy coordinates calculated by thousands of mages, and after having the coordinates of the temple, Rex calculated the coordinates of other temples, and there is one place that you think is impossible, it is near here. ”

Salin then remembered that he wanted to search for as many temples left by the goddess as possible, and Rex also calculated the approximate location of twenty-four temples, one of which was in the northwest sea of Skocina. At that time, I thought it was impossible because this coordinate was deep into the sea, and the chart did not indicate any islands here.

The shrine of the goddess exists to spread faith, and there is no point in building a shrine on the ocean. And even if there is an unknown small island here, and a temple is built on a small island, do the oracles still survive by hunting? Out of the main temple is where the goddess lives, there is an independent open space, in the other temple, there is no disparity in the space, the life of believers and oracles needs to be self-sufficient, the goddess of nature does not like to kill, there is no land on this island to support believers.

"Go and see, master, maybe you can ......"

Salin nodded, he signed a contract with the goddess, and now he is very unwilling, after all, he has paid too much, and the goddess wants to be resurrected, and even needs him to unify the continent. There must be a secret to the twenty-four temples built by the goddess of nature before the fall, because of the recent troubles, Saleen did not go to explore them one by one, and now passing by a coordinate point, it is still okay to take a look by the way.

Because he was worried that there was a trap in the goddess's equipment, he had already asked for the Ring of Blessing back, and it was not a problem to open the temple. The Ring of Blessing was inside the Dimensional Stone, and Salin would never wear it on his hand again.

The left hand of the god disappeared, and Salin could no longer use the divine power in his body, and this gift ring became the key to unlocking the temple.

Thinking of this, Salin gave the captain of the flagship a coordinate and ordered the fleet to go north.

The captain didn't know what Saleen was up to, but Saleen was the king, and he had no room for objection. Salin then issued another order, letting the high-speed battleship loaded with a main battalion go to Ceylon City first, and he only took the undead on the bone battleship to the coordinates of the goddess temple.

Guge and other minor nobles were taken with Salin, and Salin didn't want to let them go back first, lest he be unable to deal with the change.

Nellis was very happy to see that Saleen had agreed to go on an expedition, but Nicholas was calm, worried about some danger. Magicians, like magicians, struggle to exert their maximum power in the sea. Fortunately, Saleen still has the Elemental Magic Tower, so if it doesn't work, use that to fly back.

In Nicholas's opinion, as long as Saleen now steadily cultivates magic, improves his spiritual power, controls some more ancient warriors, and resurrects the leader of the water elemental creatures, his strength is enough to compete for hegemony on the continent, and he still searches for any temple, purely to find trouble for himself.

The problem was that Saleen was in need of something to soothe him, which was very important to the magician.

The direction of the fleet was reversed, and the high-speed frigate headed southwest with a high-speed troop carrier, separating from the dragon-wreck battleship of Saleen. Behind the dragon wreck battleship, there were only twelve white bone warships. These Bone Ships are the last undead ships in the Metatrin Navy, and the Winged Skull has decided not to build them again until they have advanced to the tenth level.

The White Bone Battleship is indeed not the opponent of the Yunliu Navy, and no matter how much it is manufactured, it can only be used as an armed merchant ship.

Rex's mage did not calculate the detailed coordinates of all the temples, because whether it is land or sea, all geographical coordinates are not static, mountains and rivers will change their positions, tens of thousands of years of changes, and many places have lost their ancient landforms.

Even some peninsulas split off the coast and became near-Earth islands, and the change in coordinates was very noticeable.

Saleen gave the captain three coordinates and asked the fleet to search around the three coordinates for the island. This kind of thing would seem troublesome to others, but Salen has an elemental eye and can see the distance of a hundred miles, so this kind of search becomes easier.

In about another day, the fleet was already more than five thousand miles from land. The speed of the dragon wreck battleship slowed down, and it began to search for it around a radius of about five hundred miles.

Salin simply flew up in the air, searching with the Eye of the Elements. After searching for hours, Saleen felt like he had searched all the possible locations of the temple, and found no islands.

"Drop anchor. Saleen didn't want to continue tossing, so it was better to let Neris go to the sea to search around. Fully magical ships can anchor in the deep sea, and the giant magic anchors can hold the ship in the sea, preventing the ship from drifting away with the current.

On the white bone battleship behind, the white bone chains were lowered into the sea from the front of the battleship, and the sound of rattling seemed to be a demonic beast beating on the side of the ship. Suddenly, the front end of a bone battleship plunged into the sea, and I don't know what was under the sea, pulling the bone anchor and dragging the bone battleship into the sea.
