Chapter 129: The War on Slegg Island (Part II)

Magic Alert is the simplest level 0 magic. But there are many uses. Now this large-scale alarm outside the magic tower can emit complex sounds and convey a wealth of information. Rex didn't have the magic whispers of Shrig Island, and of course she didn't know what was going on, all she knew was that the seemingly impregnable Isle of Shrig had been attacked.

"You're all in the tower, don't bother. Jason's voice rang out, and Rex suppressed the idea of going out to have a look, and she also knew that with her own strength, she couldn't help much for the time being.

On the outskirts of Shreg Island, there is a large reef area to the northwest. This reef occupies a huge area, with a radius of tens of miles. In the center of the reef area, a tall tower rises. This tower is taller than a normal nine-story magic tower, and it is a lighthouse on Srieg Island with magic lights all year round.

To the north of the reef area, dozens of bronze-colored battleships slowly approached, and dozens of small boats were lowered on the battleships and rowed towards the lighthouse. The battleship had too deep a draft to enter the reef, which had a magic eye on the lighthouse that could monitor everything within a hundred miles of the vicinity. Don't destroy this lighthouse. All warships were exposed to the watchful eye of the opposing side.

Saleen's pirate ship was anchored due north, a dozen miles away from the reef. The pirates on board first heard the magic alarm on the island, and only then did they see the approaching battleship in the alchemy telescope.

Battleships usually fire magic stone cannons at sea, and then use heavy crossbows to suppress the opposing sailors, and then approach the battleship and go to the deck to fight hand-to-hand. The magic stone cannon fires a huge stone projectile with a diameter of about one meter, and the stone projectile itself has undergone magical petrification, and is almost as strong as metal, and it is a huge hole when smashed into the ship.

It's just that the size of the stone bullet is a bit large, and the average battleship can't carry too much, even if there is a great magician on the ship carrying space magic equipment, it is impossible to load such a thing. The pirates on the pirate ship are very experienced, as soon as the magic alarm sounds, they immediately lift anchor, and without even raising the sails, hundreds of pirates got into the oars, desperately rocked the river boat, and launched the pirate ship to the south of Shrieg Island.

The pirates knew that if they fled now, the warships that suddenly appeared would fire magic stone projectiles, and the wooden pirate ships could be sunk after three or five shots. A dozen of Saleen's appointed chieftains shouted loudly and sailed away from the northern waters of Shreig Island.

The pirates fled to the shallow south of Shrieg Island, and a dozen leaders consulted and untied the chains towed behind the ship. They didn't know what was tied to the chain, but it was dragged behind them. It was very inconvenient for them to operate the ship, and it was too easy to be hit by the opponent's magic stone cannon.

The chains were unchained, and a small magic array on the Rock Turtle Alchemy Ship was activated, and the alchemy ship sank to the bottom of the sea. This sea area is only about 100 meters deep, and Saleen left with an eye on it, and specially told the pirates to untie the chains if they were in trouble, and then drive the pirate ship as far away as possible.

If you look at the island from above, you will see that it is a regular triangle with a huge gate on each side. The coast is covered with towering stone walls. The pirate ship stayed south for a moment, then headed west again.

Shake off the Iwaki alchemy ship behind it, and the flexible characteristics of this pirate ship are revealed. The pirates didn't dare to get too close to Shreig Island, and instead nimbled into another reef area.

Anyway, it was impossible for those attacking warships to enter this reef, and it was impossible for them to waste the magic stone cannon on such a wooden ship. Dozens of bronze warships stopped in the distance and began to shoot magic stone projectiles at Shrieg Island, and sure enough, no one paid attention to such a wooden ship.

The boat that entered the reef area approached the lighthouse, and a flying puppet more than five meters long suddenly flew up on the lighthouse, and there was a person lying on the flying puppet, and this person was also clinging to the puppet tightly without looking back. Fly towards Shreig Island. The flying golem's flight altitude is about 100 meters, from the step on the glide, the bronze battleships in the distance have fired crossbow arrows, but in addition to the large alchemy crossbow can threaten the flying golem, ordinary heavy crossbows can only shoot a few hundred meters away, crossbow arrows have fallen into the water, this flying golem with two pairs of wings carrying the mage above rushed into the gate of Shrig Island.

Directly north of Shreig Island is a sharp corner, and above the stone wall of more than 300 meters is a seven-story magic tower. The magic stone projectile on the bronze battleship roared over, and the magic tower lit up with a dark yellow light, and the magic stone projectile hit the dark yellow light, suddenly changing the flight path and falling downward.

Two magic stone bullets hit the stone wall, leaving only shallow traces on the stone wall.

On the seven-story magic tower, a black-robed mage looked at the bronze battleships in the magic image, and said to a few students around him, "Okay, stop the alarm, this is just a temptation." ”

"Teacher, there are thirty-eight ships, just a temptation?" A white-robed mage looked at the bronze warships in the magic image, a little worried.

"These boats are less than 100 meters, you see, here. The black-robed mage pointed to the bow of a ship in the imitation image and said, "There is a battle flag here, it is a command ship, and it is only eighty meters long. The rest of the ships are also more than sixty meters. It's the high sea, and they're not the main force. If we attack, they will rely on the advantage of speed to escape, and we will catch up. Ignore them, a small boat like this can't fire many magic stone projectiles. If you get close, destroy them with magic. ”

"Teacher, don't you fight back?"

A gray-robed mage asked suspiciously. Behind the tall stone walls of Shrig Island was an even more powerful magic stone cannon, with a range of more than ten miles, and the bronze warships that cruised several miles away were within attack.

"It's not worth it, the other party wants to consume our magic stone cannon, determine the location, and prepare for future attacks. You're not too young, and you don't have any common sense. ”

The gray-robed mage looked ashamed and retreated.

The black-robed mage said to his students: "Look here, I'll go see Lancelot, these ships must be coming from Yunliu's side, the real attack is still to come, you just be careful not to let these ships get close." Once within two miles, launch a magic attack. ”

"Yes, teacher. ”

Seeing that his teacher was calm, the rest of the mages in the magic tower were quiet, but there were only more than thirty warships, and there were only about two hundred soldiers on each battleship, adding up to less than ten thousand. You can't get to Srig Island with these boats.

The black-robed mage was right, those bronze battleships watched the mages on the lighthouse flee back to Tryg Island, and not only did Tryg Island not fight back, but even the three gates were not closed. Don't even bother to send a boat to fight them. Thirty-eight battleships retreated, not continuing to approach. They made a sufficient gesture to attack the island of Srieg, and when they reached a distance of five miles from the island, they did not advance for half a minute.

Those magic stone bullets also don't have any accuracy, five miles is already the limit of projectile, if you want to hit the target accurately, you must be at least within two miles. But two miles is the control range of the magic tower, and within a distance of two miles, the mages in the magic tower can mobilize any kind of magic attack.

The magic stone bullet relies on the weight of thousands of catties and high temperature to kill, and the attack ability is single, but the magic is different. If these warships really dare to approach, there are dozens of magic towers on three sides of Srieg Island, even if it is a six-story magic tower, it can easily sink a battleship. Unless there is a magician on the battleship, it is possible to approach the island.

Since the strategy of luring the enemy failed, these warships were of course unwilling to lose their strength for no reason, and retreated under the command of the temporary flagship, and the pirates hiding in the western reef breathed a sigh of relief.

"Boss, let's run away, we're always worried here. "A pirate instigated the temporary first mate. In Jupiter's absence, the temporary first mate was responsible for the pirates on the entire ship.

"You want to die? Our new captain is a magician, and he'll know as soon as we leave. Besides, we only have a week's worth of fresh water and food on board, so where can we run for six days?"

The pirates who had the idea of escaping were silent, and Salin was left with only six days' food and fresh water, and he could not feed the more than 100 people on board by fishing. And all pirates know that the new mage captain can fly. The mage can fly much faster than the pirate ship, at least a hundred miles or so. The full speed of this pirate ship is only fifty miles, and if it escapes, it will definitely be overtaken.

In the center of Shrieg Island, in an eight-story magic tower, dozens of black-robed magicians gathered in the tower to discuss the sudden appearance of the battleship attack.

The two Rank 8 Magus sat in the middle, and the rest of the Rank 7 Magus sat on the ground around the two Rank 8 Magus. The black-robed wizard with a quaint face and long golden hair spoke, "Does anyone know where the attacking battleship came from?"

"Lancelot, that's Yunliu's ship, but not their royal fleet. "It was Gaia who spoke, and before he became a magician, he went to the clouds to practice and realize the mysteries of life. He was relatively familiar with the things that flowed through the clouds.

The other black-robed mage also nodded yes. The eighth-level mage named Lancelot was obviously the leader of the entire Srig Island, and he whispered to another eighth-level mage beside him, and after a while, he said to everyone, "We still have seven months to catch the fire elemental spirits, and we don't have the energy to deal with these harassing ships during this time." Since the Yunliu people dare to do it. I suggest sending a message to the other two islands that they will also send warships to encircle and suppress these invaders. ”

"Lancelot, the Devil's Horn and the Isle of Skye are worried about our fire elemental spirits and won't help. They won't do anything until seven months have passed, when Shreg Island is fully open. Jason spoke out against it.

"Jason, do you want to seal the island?"

"Exactly, since they don't want to help, they only want to focus on the fire elemental spirits, why should we care about face. Once the island is sealed and the inside and outside are cut off, even they will not be able to enter Shreig Island within three years, we will have a greater certainty. Jason's tone was firm, not at all worried about the consequences of the island closure.

"What do you think?" Lancelot had just taken over the reins of Srieg Island, and he couldn't give orders yet, so he could only ask the opinions of the others. Because once the island is sealed, Srieg will be cut off from the outside world, and even if a large number of magicians come to attack, they will not be able to open the defensive magic array of Sreig Island. Once this magic array is in operation, it will not stop until at least three years later.

And seven months later, Shrieg Island will face the other three forces in Alchemy City, and the island will be sealed, although the time for capturing the fire elemental elves will be extended, so that everyone will have more opportunities, but it will also offend the other three parties.
