Outer plane.

The Temple of Knowledge.

Here is the kingdom of Ogma, the god of knowledge, the name of all things in Feren.

Everywhere you can see magnificent libraries and palaces at the border of plains and mountains, which contain vast amounts of knowledge, books, and scrolls collected from other planes.

If anyone is looking for clues to something old and hidden, or something that is lost, it would be the wisest place to be.

Moreover, the god of knowledge is neutral, and does not care at all whether the visitor is good or evil, order or chaos.

Today, however, among the thousands of visitors to the Temple of Knowledge, there is a very special guest.

She is the embodiment of the Feron Net, the third generation of the goddess of magic with the title of Mother of Magic, Mystra (Midnight).

Due to the similarity of doctrines, philosophies, and philosophies, the goddess of magic and Ogmar, the goddess of knowledge, have had a good relationship with each other.

In this generation, they have developed into close allies against evil and chaotic gods such as Taros, the god of storms, and Siri, the king of lies, who may pose a great threat to the web of knowledge and demons.

"Welcome, Venerable Lady of Mystery."

Ogma smiled and walked out of the hall where she lived.

He seemed as calm and wise as ever, giving the impression of being calm and calm no matter what happened.

"I'm sorry to bother you again, great king of knowledge. I've had a little trouble and hope to get some guidance from your endless wisdom. ”

Midnight, the goddess of magic, bowed slightly, and took the initiative to place herself in a lower position.

Because although she inherited the name of Mistra, she was still essentially a mortal only recently transformed into a god, and she still retained a lot of mortal nature, so much so that she made a lot of jokes when she first began to perform the priesthood.

Thanks to the help of the god of knowledge, he was able to avoid becoming the target of public criticism.

Therefore, he is full of gratitude and respect for the god in front of him, who may be second only to the goddess of the moon, Shar, the goddess of the night, and the goddess of the earth, Sar.

After all, when Ogmar came to this world, the entire planet Toriel was still in a primitive and chaotic state.

It was he who defined and named each concept that settled the unpredictable and incomparably violent energy and matter, and formed the natural world that was later materialized.

This is also the origin of its title of "naming person".

It can be said that as long as the knowledge is born in this world, without exception, it will be known and recorded by the god of knowledge.

"Oh? What confuses you, as the Mother of Magic? Ogma's eyes flashed with curiosity.

Without saying a word, Midnight directly took out the traveling mage card that Zuo Si had given to Ilminster: "I would like to ask you to identify the origin of this magic item, as well as the knowledge and technology behind it. ”

"A magic card? You can't have gotten it from that young man named Soth, do you? Ogma asked with interest.

As one of the few gods in Faeron who had interacted with a traveling mage, he immediately recognized it as a card made with the power of sparks after just one glance. …

"You know?" Midnight's eyes lit up slightly.

In order to figure out this card sent by Ilminster himself, she, like her own voters, studied it for a long time but didn't have a clue.

This is simply a naked provocation and humiliation for a goddess of magic who claims to know all of Faeron's spells and everything related to magic.

Ogma nodded slightly, "Yes, of course I do.

Because this power comes from a very, very rare and special group.

They call themselves Planeslock, also known as the Brigade Mage.

Before I came to this world to become the god of knowledge, I had traveled in the realms for a long time, and I met two relatively friendly traveling mages.

By exchanging magical knowledge and items, I earned their trust, and after a more in-depth conversation, I learned some secrets.

However, as far as I know, it seems that the world of Torrell has not been visited by a traveling mage before.

Of course, it is not excluded that it was visited in secret, but it was not noticed by the gods.

In short, Soth is currently the only traveling mage who can confirm his identity. ”

"Planeslock? Brigade Mage? What kind of existence did they have, and how did they create such magic cards? Midnight asked impatiently.

She couldn't believe that she had just come to try her luck, but she didn't expect the god of knowledge to actually recognize this magic card, and also know the origin of the creator and user behind the card.

"I can tell you the answer, but you must promise not to reveal it to any other gods or mortals, including your chosen people." Ogma's cousin made a serious offer.

After a little thought about it at midnight, he immediately responded, "No problem. I swear by my priesthood that the content of today's conversation will never be revealed to a third party other than you and me. ”

After getting the assurance he wanted, Ogma immediately showed a satisfied expression, raised the card in his hand and said in a slightly emotional tone: "Traveling Mage, as the name suggests, is a spellcaster who can easily travel and travel freely between different planes, crystal walls, and universes.

They contain a power called the Spark.

It is said that for every 10 million intelligent beings, only one being with a spark is born.

But most of them are unaware of the power in their own bodies and spend their lives doing nothing like all ordinary people.

Only less than 1 in a few hundred thousand, if not 1 in a million, will ignite a spark in the face of great crisis or serious damage to obtain a transcendent truth that no other spellcaster or even a god can understand.

In general, most casters who want to travel across planes and walls do so through the Astral and Aether planes.

But the Brigade Mage is different.

The power they possess transcends the constraints of planes, crystal walls, and even the multiverse, and can enter the dark void that cannot be described in words between space and space.

The Dark Void is said to be filled with chaotic and logically distorted primordial matter, entropy, and flowing mana, more dangerous than any currently known place. …

Compared to the Dark Void, even the Sea of Chaos would seem so orderly.

Soth should have accidentally entered the Dark Void when he had just ignited the spark, so his body would have a series of strange situations such as age regression, abnormal changes in viruses and bacteria, etc.

It's just that the power of his own spark is not strong enough, so he lacks knowledge of the Dark Void for the time being, and he doesn't know what the changes that have occurred in him really mean.

And the cards you see are permanent magic items made from this transcendent truth.

Generally speaking, the cards made by traveling mages can be roughly divided into five categories.

They are land, magic, creatures, treasures, and enchantments.

This card is the quintessential treasure card.

Although it is only a stone blessed with [Silence], it can be used in any world, even if it uses completely different rules of magic than Torreel.

You can simply think of it as the traveling mage itself is equivalent to a node connecting the multiverse.

Connect yourself to one world after another through magic cards called [Ground].

They can draw energy from these worlds and then use it wherever they can reach without restrictions.

The traveling mages are free and unaffected by any external factors, and no one can intervene and control their fate, not even gods.

Some of the most powerful Brigade Mages can modify the physical and magical rules of the surrounding area as needed, and even create and destroy space out of thin air. ”

"Unbelievable! That...... Aren't they any different from gods or ancient evils? Midnight's eyes widened in shock.

If it weren't for the words that came from the mouth of the God of Knowledge, she wouldn't have believed a word.

Ogma nodded bluntly, "In a way, the Brigade Mage is such an existence.

The source of their power, the spark, actually has a certain resemblance to the divine spark of the gods.

But the only difference is that the power of the Traveling Mage comes from itself and the endless multiverse, rather than from a wide range of beliefs and influences.

If you want to crack a card made by a traveling mage and incorporate it into your magical priesthood, I advise you to give it up sooner rather than later.

For no one but another Traveling Mage could comprehend the transcendent truths that had been obtained directly from the myriad worlds and spatial sources.

It's a pity that Talona, the goddess of poison and disease, started too quickly.

Otherwise, Soth would be best suited to be my chosen one. ”

In the end, the god of knowledge showed a very rare expression of chagrin and regret.

After these days of sorting and reading, he was deeply attracted by those unheard of knowledge and opinions, and even had more than one time to descend the incarnation again to talk to Zuo Si face-to-face.

But considering the serious consequences that may be brought about by doing so, I finally had to choose to give up.

That's why, Ogmar regrets it.

Otherwise, if Zuo Si had become his chosen one step ahead, then the two would now have a barrier-free communication and communication through the connection between God and the elect. …

As for Talona......

The divine power she bestowed on Zuosi has been restrained by the god of suffering, Irmat, with the remnants of Baal's divine power.

Unless Zuo Si took the initiative to contact this goddess, the latter would not be able to enter the former's consciousness at all.

"You seem to value this young man named Soth?"

Midnight was obviously the first time to see the other party show this expression, and couldn't help but show a playful smile.

Ogma smiled and replied, "Of course. As a traveling mage, he was able to bring back to me from different worlds all kinds of knowledge, ideas, and inventions that I had never seen before.

Some of them contain wisdom that I can't help but applaud and applaud the mortals who discovered and created them.

In addition, there is also a part of the knowledge related to magic that you already know as the goddess of magic after entering the world of Torrell, right? ”

"Yes." Midnight nodded slightly. "But I haven't figured out whether to allow this knowledge and rules to take effect within the scope of the magic net under my jurisdiction."

"Is it because of Netheril's experience?" Ogma asked meaningfully.

"Yes and no. As a new god, I'm too young to have any experience in dealing with this aspect of things, so I want to observe it for a while. After all, without my consent, this young man named Thus could also use this knowledge and power with the power of the traveling mage. ”

Midnight made no secret of what was going on in his heart.

Due to the large-scale "disconnection" of the previous Syric Church, he was almost besieged by the gods.

So she was extremely cautious in her approach to magic.

It is not like the first generation of Goddess of Magic, which is completely unrestricted and unrestricted.

It's not like the second generation of the goddess of magic who frantically took all kinds of magical geniuses under her command, or gave her the identity of her chosen person, or came to the incarnation to have an intimate relationship with her.

Including the mage god Azus, Ilminster, Kelburn, the Seven Sisters of the Northland, etc., were all born during the second generation of the goddess of magic.

"Prudence is a valuable quality, and you have made a wise choice." Ogma's eyes sparkled with wisdom.

"Thank you for the compliment. But do you have any good advice on how to deal with the traveling mage? You must know that the card magic he uses is not monitored and limited by me. "Continue to humbly ask for advice at midnight.

Ogma smiled and replied, "I don't have any good advice in this regard.

However, based on my personal experience and feelings, it may be a good choice to let go of the pride of being a god and approach him as a relatively equal person, and communicate and discuss with him.

For I could sense that Soth had an unusual interest and thirst for magical knowledge.

Trust me, there's nothing quite like helping and investing in a growing CMS to reap amazing returns.

Especially for gods like you and me. ”

"Understood. Thank you again for your wise guidance. ”

Midnight stroked his chest with one hand, and then vanished from the temple of knowledge without a trace.

Since she is the embodiment of magic webs and spells, the goddess of magic does not need to chant spells and perform complex spell casting actions like mortals. …

Quite the opposite!

Casting spells was as easy for her as breathing.

"You're welcome......"

Seeing this third-generation goddess of magic who still had a lot of mortal nature left, Ogmar's mind instantly appeared in his mind that he was a god at about the same time, and his behavior was not very reliable, and a very strange expression quickly appeared on his face.

For some reason, he always had a hunch that these two gods, who were mortal enemies in mortal times, would do something earth-shattering in the future.

After all, the conflict between the two powerful divine powers in the priesthood is already quite fierce, and if you add the personal grudges accumulated over a long period of time, no one knows what will happen in the end.

Of course, this little episode did not affect the good mood of the god of knowledge lately.

After a while, he returned to his palace and continued to reminisce about the interesting knowledge and ideas from the other world, and even encouraged the believers who lived there to study and debate.

……

At the same time, it is close to the trade route of Sword Bay on the west coast of the Faren Continent.

A gigantic green dragon had just skimmed across the white sky, squinting at the anomalies below from the Supreme Wasteland to the Troll's Roaring Forest.

In particular, the wolves controlled by the magic charm, the untold number of local specialties - trolls, and hordes of goblins and bear goblins form a huge army of monsters.

And it is none other than the vampires who control these monsters, sponsored by the friendship of Irenikas and Badi.

With their innate [Domination] ability, these powerful undead creatures can easily control these monsters with weak wills and hearts.

In addition, there is also a black dragon that is suspected of being hired and mixed in.

Anyone who is not a fool can see that this group of guys definitely has bad intentions.

In the opinion of Baris Reyat, an experienced old yinbi, the other party made such a big battle, either to ambush some powerful enemy, or to prepare to capture a surrounding town.

However, considering the situation that the junction of the Supreme Wasteland and the Troll Roaring Forest is not in front of the village and behind the village.

It is estimated that the only worthy target is the Dragonspear Castle that connects to the Dark Regions.

He didn't think that the other party had put so much effort into getting an entrance to the dark region.

What's more, Dragonspear Castle is currently controlled by a group of priests of the god of war, Tampas, coupled with a large number of experienced adventurers, anyone who wants to capture it will have to pay a pretty heavy price.

"Sure enough, it's an ambush against the master." The dragon lich curled the corners of his mouth into a sarcastic grin.

After all, the conspiracy is terrible because it is silent and unknown.

But if it is exposed in advance, it is equivalent to exposing one's most vulnerable points to the enemy.

At this moment, Barris Ryatt's mind instantly appeared at least a dozen ways to "play" the other party to the point that life is worse than death.

Without any hesitation!

He flew directly to the ground from a great place with a direct dive.

Due to the fact that the speed was too fast, it instantly aroused the vigilance of another black dragon. …

The latter even assumed a defensive stance, his eyes flashing with a hint of fear that was not easily detected.

Because the size of this green dragon disguised by the dragon lich is so large that even the naked eye can tell that the other party is an ancient dragon.

Fortunately, about two or three hundred meters above the ground, Barris Ryat began to slow down and finally landed steadily on the grass next to him.

He first looked around for a while, and then raised his head and asked in a slightly playful tone, "Can you tell me what you want to do with so many monsters gathered here?" ”

"Are you ......?"

A high-ranking member of the Emerald Society cautiously probed.

He didn't feel too surprised by the green dragon falling from the sky in front of him.

Because in the dragon forest on the south bank of the Shewei River, there are at least two dozen green dragons.

If it weren't for the fact that they didn't know the location of these green dragons' lairs, the Emerald Society would have sent people to negotiate one by one, and hired each other to join the ambush by paying them.

In fact, as long as they are paid enough, most of the dragons of the evil camp don't mind taking a "day job" once in a while.

Of course, if someone hires a dragon and wants to pay for it after the fact.

Be sure to refer to how the Shane Dynasty, which is famous in the history of Carlinfir, came to an end under the frenzied revenge of the "Sharp Teeth" of the "Wage Seeker" Ivy Korazaglan.

After all, dragons are creatures that slow down the "grudge" attribute from the moment they were born.

It is said that many primeval dragons can even remember the appearance of their enemies who have offended them.

Then patiently spend years, decades, or even centuries slowly plotting a revenge against himself and future generations.

"My name is Barris Ryatt, you can call me Emerald Nightmare."

The dragon lich looked up haughtily and reported the name he had used when he was alive.

"Emerald Nightmare?!"

Hearing this name, the eyes of the high-level leaders of the Jade Association instantly lit up, and they immediately touched their chests with one hand and bowed deeply.

"I can't believe that you are here, please allow me to express my excitement and respect."

"Hehehehehe, you're very good at talking, human."

Barris Ryatt put on a very useful look to confuse the other party.

He knew very well that this stupid mage wanted to hire himself, like the black dragon next to him.

As it turned out, the Dragon Lich had captured the hearts of the Emerald Society's higher-ups very accurately.

That is the desire to be able to attract as many powerful creatures as possible to join this ambush against Zuosi.

I saw that after a few simple compliments and polite words, the high-ranking mage suddenly changed his words and said in a very sincere tone: "Your Excellency the Great Barrisriet.

As you can see, we are gathering our forces to attack and capture a man, and right now we are lacking the help of a dragon as powerful as yours.

Of course, we will pay enough money, such as gems with a total value of not less than 50,000 gold coins.

Don't know if you'd like to accept it? ”

"Fifty thousand gold coins worth of gems is too few, if it's one hundred thousand gold coins, I might consider accepting your invitation." …

Barris Ryatt's unceremonious lion opened his mouth.

He understood that only by fully demonstrating the greed of an evil green dragon could the other party's vigilance be minimized.

"Deal! However, the remuneration will not be paid until it has been completed. The high-ranking mage hurriedly added one.

Although he was thrilled to hire a powerful ancient dragon, he did not forget that green dragons are sinister and cunning creatures.

If you pay a salary or a deposit in advance, it is entirely possible that the other party will not work after receiving the money.

Baris Ryatt pretended to be displeased, bowed his head and pondered for a moment, then replied reluctantly, "Yes." But I'm going to get back to the lair now, and you give me a specific time, and I'll be there when I do. ”

"No problem! According to the plan, we will do it in three days. Please be sure to return within two days. The High Mage immediately gave the time of the convergence.

Poor him, he didn't realize that he had been tricked, and even the hole cards were taken advantage of by the dragon lich to see them clearly.

"Excellent! I'll fly over to you in two days. ”

With that, Baris Ryath took off into the air and flew straight south.

However, his destination is not the "Dragon Forest", where a group of green dragons are entrenched, but the place of death where Zuo Si is currently located.

If you count Rein, there are already two inner ghosts in this ambush planned by the Jade Society.

If this is not completely annihilated, it will be unreasonable.

……

After hours of flying, the dragon lich finally found the carriage that had just crossed the meandering river, and a group of troll tribes rushing out of the "Troll's Claw Hills" to get a full meal.

Zuo Si himself didn't even have the interest to do it, and let the Dragonborn knights Davidian and Isadora cooperate and easily kill this small group of trolls with only a dozen of them.

In particular, the +2 Flaming Sword used by the former is simply a troll's nightmare and nemesis.

Any unlucky person who is slashed by this magic weapon will instantly lose the regeneration ability that he is proud of.

The scorching flame would even ignite the fat layer under the skin, causing the "fat" trolls to instantly burn into a giant fire man.

I have to say that the distribution and number of trolls in Faeron are really too much.

Everywhere you go, you can see these guys.

The mountains, hills, and forests named after trolls are too numerous to count.

It can become one of the three scourges from the wild world along with goblins and orcs, and it can't be killed no matter how you kill them.

By the time Barris Ryath landed, the last troll had collapsed in the black, filthy waters.

Because it was here that the murder god Baal was killed by Ciric, who was armed with a god-killing sword.

Thus his filthy blood mixed with divine power flowed into the meandering river, ultimately causing this terrible and catastrophic consequence.

Even after more than two years, the river water still contains deadly toxins.

Only when the river is a little closer downstream, when the water gradually changes from pitch black to a lighter brown, will it become completely "harmless".

Except for the curse, which lasts for a day on the person who drinks it, it basically does not cause any negative effects on the body. …

Zuo Si was obviously quite interested in these water sources that had been polluted by the blood of the gods, so he filled an empty jar and stuffed it into his satchel, and then asked without looking back, "How?" How many means has the Emerald Society prepared to ambush me? ”

"A black dragon, about a thousand trolls, an army of four hundred mixed goblins and bear goblins.

There are about the same number of wolves, including a wolf and a large ferocious wolf.

There are also a few fierce beasts such as tigers and brown bears.

All of these monsters are controlled by a large number of vampires.

Next to them are a lot of constructs like Skeleton Warriors and a few golems that are used as cannon fodder.

And, of course, there are five highly threatening high-level mages at the end, as well as a dozen low-level mages who look like apprentices.

And I noticed that they are setting magic traps on both sides of the road, and even summoning magic circles, presumably to summon demons, devils and other other-dimensional creatures. ”

In a slightly sarcastic tone, Barris Riatte said everything he saw.

Although the enemy's movements seemed to be powerful, he did not feel that the other party had any advantage.

"Well, it's not too far from the information Reyn provided. It seems that the Emerald Society has almost paid for me to capture me, and I don't know what conditions Irenikas has set for them. Zuo Si touched his chin and smiled playfully.

"And what are you going to do?" Baris Ryatt cautiously probed.

Zuo Si replied casually: "It's very simple, according to the previous practice, poison first, and then defeat all enemies in battle. If I'm not mistaken, you're already inside them, right? ”

Hearing this, a sinister expression suddenly appeared on the dragon lich's face disguised by illusion magic: "You are really like a god. Yes, I have successfully deceived the other party and accepted their offer of employment. So if you want to poison it, just leave it to me. ”

"Very good. I'm about to test the power of poison and plague......"

As he spoke, Zuo Si raised his right hand and separated a large mixture of black energy from his body that had been targeted and sifted, and then put it into a large glass bottle with a full two liters.

After all this was done, he handed the glass container to the dragon lich: "Here, take it and secretly pour it into the other party's food or water." Don't put too much at once, a little is enough. Otherwise, it will be very troublesome if you start early. ”

"Is this your voter capacity?"

Baris Ryatt asked curiously, staring at the terrifying energy in the bottle.

Zuo Si nodded without hesitation: "That's right, this is one of my electorate abilities." In addition, I will leave the Shadow Legion in your hands for the time being. Put them to good use, I don't want a single person or monster to run away after the battle. Come out, Elinia. ”

Moment!

The Shadow Assassin leapt out of the dark shadows.

Behind her, there was a dense army of endless shadows.

As an undead creature, the dragon lich immediately realized how staggering the number of these phantoms really was after just one glance, and immediately grinned and said in an extremely cold and cruel tone, "Please rest assured, master. I promise none of these guys will try to escape. Finally, I recommend that you arrive at the area where the enemy is ambushed at night, so that you can maximize the advantages of the Shadow Legion. ”…

"I know that without you reminding me. Okay, now you can go back and remember to watch out for those who habitually use toxin detection before eating. ”

After saying this, Zuo Si waved his hand lightly.

The dragon lich didn't talk nonsense, and once again took to the air and flew towards the dragon forest to the east, intending to make a large circle to prevent the other party from using prophecy spells to locate him.

Zuo Si boarded the carriage and continued north along the trade route.

Handington, the accompanying archer, silently took out a [Demon Breaking Arrow] and gently stroked the shaft and arrow shaft engraved with powerful magic runes with his fingers.

He knew very well how important the task given to him by his master was, so he had to hit it with one hit.

……

Just as Zuo Si's side was about to start a war with the people of the Emerald Society, far away near the southernmost sea area of the Nraincel Islands, a battle to determine the hegemony of the Sword Sea officially began.

One of the attackers doesn't need to ask to know that it is Eric, who has recently become famous.

The defenders, on the other hand, were forced into a corner and had to abandon their former suspicions and group together for the last resistance.

Combined, the number of ships on both sides reached a staggering 400, and the number of participants in the battle was close to 10,000.

Even the pirates entrenched in the southern islands of the Racing Strait were forced to join the fight.

No way!

If they sit back and watch Eric unify the Nälancer Islands, it won't be long before they are attacked and annexed, so they might as well fight for it.

"Captain, the pirates of the entire West Coast and the South are basically here. Win this battle and we'll be the undisputed rulers of the sea, and you can give yourself the title of Pirate King. A man with a visible scar on his face exclaimed, excited.

"The Pirate King? Forget it. I didn't intend to be a pirate for the rest of my life. Don't forget, once we've won this battle, we're going to have to build our own city and country on the Nélanthel Islands. When the time comes, being a nobleman and lord is not much more comfortable than a pirate. ”

Eric spoke with a strong sense of confidence and a deep belief that he had won.

After all, his fleet ships were numerous and large, nearly twice as many as the other party, and he was also equipped with a dozen mages who could unleash fireball spells, or carry fireball scrolls and wands.

In addition, those undead creatures who have no consciousness and do not know what fear is, will deal a devastating blow to the enemy at the moment of contact.

With such a huge advantage, Eric simply didn't know how he could lose.

So after a little observation, he resolutely ordered an attack.

Moment!

With the help of [Flying Technique], the mages floating in mid-air took the lead in attacking, shooting hot fireballs one after another towards the enemy ships one or two hundred meters away below.

And at this height, you can basically ignore those long-range weapons such as bows and crossbows below.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

Accompanied by the skyrocketing flames and the deafening sound of explosions, the pirate coalition's capital ships rushing to the front turned into a sea of fire on the spot.

Many of the sailors standing on the deck were burned to the ground almost in an instant before they could scream. …

Although the remaining ones who are still alive desperately want to extinguish the flames on the ship.

However, its wooden structure doomed these moves to futility.

After a while, the leaky ship slowly sank into the sea.

As for the pirates who jumped into the sea to escape, they were either run over by passing ships or bitten to death by swarming sharks.

In short, there was not a single person who could swim ashore alive.

"Bastard! Can anyone tell me! Where did Eric, this bastard, get so many mages? ”

A prestigious, one-eyed pirate captain roared like madness.

You must know that the power of spells is far greater in naval warfare than in land warfare.

Advanced magic aside, even a one-ring greasy spell or a flaming hand can inflict horrific damage in crowded places like ships.

In a situation like the current one, flying in the sky and condescendingly bombing with spells is completely bullying people.

It wasn't a battle at all, it was a terrible massacre.

Whether it's a fireball or a lightning bolt, it can deal a devastating blow to the sailors on deck who are ready to fight.

In addition, there is also a mage with a relatively high casting level, who throws a [Dead Cloud Technique] directly in the direction of the flagship of the Pirate Alliance.

When the terrifying poison cloud dispersed in the densest place of the crowd, more than a hundred pirate elites were killed on the spot.

Even the leader of the coalition who stood up and called for a fight to the end collapsed on the deck and swallowed his last breath after squirting a few mouthfuls of blood.

Witnessing the tragic destruction of the flagship, the one-eyed pirate captain stood in place as if he was stupid, unable to believe what he saw with his eyes.

In fact, it was not only him, but the captains of the other pirate coalition were basically either frightened or crazy and let out a cry of despair, and then watched as their allies around them were engulfed in flames one by one.

Even worse were the ships that engaged in brutal broadside battles with creatures full of undead.

Under the command of the intelligent "Undead Captain", even the lowest-level undead creatures can exert amazing combat power.

Out of instinctive hatred for the creatures, the ships they attacked were almost never taken prisoner, and every one of them was killed cleanly.

Corpses are discarded on the deck and transformed into undead by mages after the battle is over.

As the unification of the Nerainsel Islands accelerated, Vanessa had firmly controlled the pirates through his apprentices.

And these undead, which are increasing in number and proportion, are the means he uses to restrain Eric and the other pirate captains.

If anyone wants to start a rebellion to get out of control, then these undead will become a talisman for those who start the rebellion.

Fortunately!

Eric knew very well how terrifying the forces behind the necromancer Vanessa were, so he never had even the slightest delusion.

Quite the opposite.

He also dealt with a lot of idiots who had similar ideas in private, preventing these idiots from dragging himself down.

After all, as a murderous pirate who licks blood from the knife, it is already quite lucky to be able to get out of the way.

What's more, if you do a good job, you can turn into a noble, lord or even a king. …

So Eric is more desperate than anyone else to show his ability and loyalty.

When he saw that the pirate coalition was losing under the double blow of fireball magic and undead, and some of the timid even wanted to turn around and escape, he immediately pulled out the scimitar at his waist and shouted, "It's now!" Chase on all fronts! Kill all these unyielding guys for me! Not a single one to stay! ”

"Captain's order! Full pursuit! ”

"Come on! Kill them all! The entire Sea of Swords is our territory! ”

"Hahahaha! Win! We won! ”

"Long live Captain Eric!"

……

With deafening cheers, the huge fleet quickly divided and surrounded the enemy.

Not to be outdone, the mages who flew in the sky either burned the sails of the fleeing enemy ships with spells, or directly bombarded the masts with magic missiles, causing them to lose power and become live targets floating on the sea.

After a while, this naval battle, which was huge before the start of the war and quickly divided the victory and defeat after the start of the war, came to a complete end.

With the advantage of magic, Eric's side won a crushing victory with little effort.

After this battle, there was no country or organization left in the southern part of the west coast of Ferren that could stop the rise of this new power in the Nerainsel Islands.

Jeffrey, who had been watching the play in the dark for a long time, sighed slightly: "It's finally over." ”

Vanessa smiled and nodded, "yes, it's all over." Now the entire Nelanthel Islands and even the Sea of Swords are the Order's sphere of influence. The next thing we have to do is put the forces together. While we begin to develop these islands, which are still in the wilderness, we organize a fleet to go north to occupy the Korin Islands, and keep the maritime trade of Baldur's Gate under our control. ”

"There aren't any decent forces in the Korin Islands, so it shouldn't be too difficult to occupy. The real difficulty is to monitor all the ships in the entire sea area and get those cunning merchants to obediently pay the protection fee. If we do this, then we can begin to implement Lord Soth's plan of revenge and make the foolish and arrogant dukes of Baldur's Gate pay. ”

In saying this, Jeffrey revealed a strong malice towards the Dukes of Baldur's Gate.

Ever since he learned from an old friend about the humiliation of the leader of the organization, he simply left his research and ran to help.

If it weren't for Zuo Si's refusal to allow the use of some overly crude and extreme methods, it is estimated that there is not a single intact ship left at the docks of Baldur's Gate.

"That's where the power of magic comes in. I've only recently learned the Nine Rings Magic Wishing Technique, and I plan to use it as a basis to make a chart from Kalinshan to Sword Bay in the south, ensuring that every ship sailing will be tracked and displayed on the map. ”

Vanessa was ambitious and spoke out about his plans.

Because only in this way can we completely dispel the luck psychology of those merchants, so as to achieve 100% control of this sea area.

"Sounds great. However, this requires a lot of high-level prophecy magic, and you should ask Clotilda for help. It's what she does best. Jeffrey was quick to give advice.

Vanessa nodded approvingly: "I'll go as soon as I'm done dealing with the affairs of the Nälancer Islands." In the meantime, though, I'm sorry for you to keep an eye on a little Eric. I've always had the feeling that this pirate leader seems to be hiding something from me lately. ”

"No problem. I promise that if he makes any small moves, he will be dealt with as soon as possible. Don't forget, I'm pretty good at control and seduction......"
