Chapter 381: Vegetable Abuse Artifact (10,000 Words Big Chapter Asking for Subscription)
Babies are undoubtedly the most vulnerable, troublesome, and careworthy period for human beings.
Even if the baby has the mind and consciousness of an adult, many things are not controlled at all.
Even though Asta had been well prepared in advance, he was forced to change his diaper once during the two or three hour long presentation.
After Zuo Si finished talking about everything, he asked with a gloomy face: "So...... Are you the one who destroyed the world? Killed almost everyone, including the Mage Council and civilians, through a magical plague? โ
"No, dear Mentor, it's not me, it's us.
Don't forget, you were the one who pulled me into this world in the first place.
And I can't be blamed for that.
Because when I first arrived, the chaotic matter and mana from the Dark Void hadn't affected my body, especially the viruses and bacteria in my body.
What's more, you found the mana and matter left on your clothes and secretly did a lot of experiments, and you didn't tell me about it.
After all, as the chief archmage of the necromancy, you are not as ignorant as other archmages about plagues, but have a deep understanding of it.
Especially for a creature like me from an unknown otherworld, there was no quarantine in place from beginning to end.
Even in order to quickly satisfy my desire to obtain eternal life, I tried all kinds of methods to force me to learn all kinds of esoteric and complex magical knowledge as quickly as possible, and finally opened the portal to the continent of Faeron.
So it was we who destroyed this world and destroyed the magical civilization that the mages created based on the Floating City. โ
Zuo Si corrected meaningfully.
Although he himself is the source of the entire magical plague, the real culprit should be Asta in front of him.
If it weren't for the necromancer's withholding of the most important information, with his knowledge of microbes, there was a high probability that he would have detected the changes in his body and thus avoided the outbreak of this disaster.
"Hehe, you're right, it's us who destroyed this world."
In a very rare way, Asta didn't defend himself, but let out a creepy laugh.
In the same way, he realized that the "exemplary" apprentice in front of him, who had once obeyed orders, was now standing in a higher position and looking down on him.
The identities and positions of the two sides can now be said to be completely reversed.
As a calm, sensible and realistic person, Asta knew full well that there was no point in arguing verbally at such times.
After all, he is now just a baby who can hardly cast even the most advanced spells, but the other party has already controlled the floating city of Plantia, and also has a huge amount of knowledge and magical power from other worlds.
If nothing else, the snail ship hidden deep beneath the Floating City, the main brain in the pond behind it, and the terrifying psychic abilities it possessed, could easily kill oneself and even distort one's own memory, cognition, and personality.
Arguing with someone who is stronger than you and who holds your own life and death in your hands is the most stupid act, and there is no one.
This truth was still taught by Asta back then, and Zuo Si who had not completed the transformation of his mind, so he would not commit it.
In other words, he knew very well what he had done to the young man in front of him, and he did not doubt that the other party would take this opportunity to take revenge or even kill him.
You must know that the world of the Floating City under the rule of the Mage Council is not a shameful act that cannot be seen in the light.
Quite the opposite!
Far from being despised, it represents forbearance, wisdom, and strength, and is encouraged and appreciated.
Because in the eyes of the mages, the act of killing the teacher itself means that the apprentice has surpassed his own mentor, symbolizing the "good" wish of each generation to become stronger than the next.
As for the so-called morality, law and order of the world, they never pay attention to it, let alone obey it.
Some mad mages will even combine with their own daughters to give birth to another daughter, just to prove that their genes and bloodlines are better.
Seeing that the former mentor had clearly realized his situation, Zuo Si immediately showed a satisfied smile: "Very good!"
I've always believed that reaching consensus is a good start, as if I had chosen to obey in the face of your threats instead of continuing to struggle and resist pointlessly.
There is never any equality in human relations.
Even if there are only two people left in the world, there must be one person who needs to obey the leadership of the other.
This is determined by the sociality of human beings in their own existence.
It was you who were stronger, wiser, and more intelligent and powerful than me, so I obeyed you.
But now, I think things have changed a bit.
Shouldn't you also take the initiative to express your attitude? โ
As these words blurted out, Asta's pupils suddenly dilated, contracted, and dilated.
Although he had expected this for a long time, he never expected Zuo Si to be so straightforward.
After a long silence, the necromancer slowly lifted the baby's disproportionate head and asked in an uncertain tone, "You want me to work for you?" โ
"That's right! The Mage Council has created a total of eight Floating Cities.
So far, I have only captured and taken control of two of them.
It is also the floating city of Plantia and the floating city of Mutahar at the foot.
Six others remain unaccounted for.
And as those archmages in the Floating City are resurrected by negative energy one after another, turning into high-level undead casters with wisdom, they will inevitably want to break the protective barrier of the Central Tower and truly control the full power of the Floating City.
I need someone who knows all about the characteristics of the floating city.
Whether it's to find it out, or to get a head start on future encounters. โ
Zuo Si didn't try to hide anything, and Dafang said his intentions.
Although he could use a simpler and more brutal way to have the mastermind Isadora forcibly read Asta's memories and turn him into a puppet who obeyed his orders.
But that would completely kill the talent and creativity of the Spirit Mage, and it would be a bit more than worth the loss.
"And what do I get out of it?" Asta cautiously probed.
Zuo Si replied with a smirk: "Endless magical knowledge, technology, and the complete Lich Transformation Ritual you've been longing for.
The trade-off, of course, is that after the transformation is complete, the lifebox must be handed over to me for safekeeping.
Well, that's a good condition, isn't it? โ
"Deal!"
Asta didn't even hesitate before agreeing.
After all, these conditions are much better than expected, and there is even a sense of relief.
He didn't understand at all why Zuo Si's character didn't choose to torture and take revenge on himself.
In fact, the replica of this necromantic archmage's memory is not clear, and Zuo Si secretly concealed a truth in the large amount of narration just now.
That is, he killed the real Asta with his own hands, not the other party's accidental death due to his failure during the Lich Transformation Ritual.
Of course, this little secret will never be known to the clone of Asta in front of you.
His future will be like the other lichs in the organization, immersed in a sea of knowledge and technology, and slowly become a tool for Zuosi to realize various plans and ambitions.
After reaching an agreement, Zuo Si directly used time magic to help Asta get out of his weak and helpless infant state, so that he could grow into a teenager in just a few seconds.
Over the next few months to a year, all he had to do was regain his strength and transform into a lich with the help of Vanessa and Tyrantiel.
Until he hands over the Fatebox, he will be in a state of complete isolation, unable to leave the Mastermind's surveillance or access to the knowledge and technology of the Great Library.
There is no doubt that the mysterious magic of time has caused Asta to be intrigued and unquenched, and without saying a word, he immediately devotes all his energy to quickly regaining his strength.
After he was taken to another room next door by the Mind Flayer, the main brain, Isadora, asked through the telepathic connection, "Are you sure this guy is trustworthy?"
I can feel through my thinking that the reason why he chooses to obey you now is because of the situation.
Once he has the opportunity, then he will not hesitate to choose to betray, or even stab you in the back. โ
"There has never been absolute loyalty in this world, let alone eternal enemies, everything is just constantly changing driven by ambitions, desires, ideals and interests.
When you can give a person what they want, then they will willingly work for you.
But on the other hand, when you can't give a person what they want, and your enemy can, then there is a very high probability that he will betray.
I don't expect anyone to remain loyal to me, let alone someone like Asta who lives only for himself.
But as long as I can keep providing Asta with the magical knowledge and techniques he dreams of, while holding his life to death, do you think he has any reason to betray?
The answer is clearly no.
You just said that Asta would betray once he had a chance, so wouldn't it be better not to give him such a chance? โ
When he said this, Zuo Si's tone was full of strong confidence.
Because Vanessa, Geoffrey, Tyrantil, and Habathar, the high-level mages who have transformed into lichs, have now proved their high recognition and loyalty to the organization, especially to him as a leader, with their actions and attitudes.
Zuo Si had never even used the life box to threaten anyone that he had to remain absolutely obedient to himself.
It's easy to win it all just by subtle influence and opening up a vast pool of magical knowledge.
Every Lich is honored to be a member of the Order, to serve and serve the Order.
That is to say, personal ambitions, desires, ideals, and interests have never become an obstacle to the development and growth of power.
And if used well, it will become a catalyst for acceleration.
What Zuo Si has to do is to understand and always grasp what these people want, and then give them a stage where they can play their strengths.
"What about me? What am I like in your eyes? The mastermind, Isadora, asked in a slightly curious tone.
"You are the most important partner, ally and family, and one of the very few people I can fully trust. I'll even capture a spark when the time is right and make you a traveling mage like me. โ
Zuo Si gave the answer without hesitation.
"Become a Brigade Mage? I! โ
The main brain, Isadora, was visibly taken aback.
Zuo Si nodded slightly: "Yes." If you want to take out Nicol Bolas in the War of the Spark, I can't do it alone.
Even with the addition of the lithomancer Nahiri, Sorin Markov, and the spirit dragon Ugin, as well as Jace, Liliana, Chandra, Nissa, Gideon Yura, and other outstanding representatives of the new generation of travel mages, it is only barely able to improve the odds a little.
What's more, I've never been of the same mind as them.
In the future, I don't know when I will turn against each other because of some actions.
If I can make even an ally like Shane VII a traveling mage, why can't you and the other three Isadorahs?
The only problem at the moment is that the other three are all significantly less mentally stable.
Only you, who have inherited a rational personality, can perfectly harness the power of the spark and become my most powerful and trusted helper. โ
As these words blurted out, the main brain, Isadora, instantly fell into a violent mood swing.
It took a full minute for her to create an illusion of herself as a human through her psychic ability, her eyes flashing with emotion and deep attachment, and she gently stroked Zuo Si's cheek with her non-existent illusory hands, followed by standing on tiptoe and kissing it.
Since psionic energy acts directly on the brain and even the soul, it can simulate the senses of sight, hearing, smell, touch, and taste that are indistinguishable from the real world.
Zuo Si could even clearly feel the softness of the other party's lips and the faint fragrance emanating from his body.
It took a while for the two to slowly separate.
"Thank you, thank you for taking me so seriously. I swear that I will never fail to live up to this trust, let alone your expectations. โ
The mastermind, Isadora, assured in affectionate words.
At this moment, she felt that the sacrifices she had chosen to make before were worth it.
"I'm looking forward to that day."
With that, Zuo Si turned around and left the Shell Ship, and went straight to a floating island located outside the main body of the Floating City.
It is the headquarters of the weapons design and development department, as well as a platform for assembling some large installations.
At this moment, in an open space, four large airships with a length of more than three hundred and fifty meters, and a dozen small airships of about fifty meters, are being built under the intensive cooperation of the structure and the corpse-embedded creatures.
Of course, some players who have experience working in factories or assembly shops are also excited to join in, taking care of some of the places where specialized skills are required.
Visually, a third of the way is almost complete, just before enchanting and restarting it.
After the person in charge, Pol, saw Zuo Si, immediately stopped what he was doing, and immediately rushed over to report: "Your Excellency, according to your requirements, we have begun to build an airship force integrating transportation and bombing.
In a few more days, these big guys will be all up and running.
Although the dangerous hydrogen is still being used, there is news from the physics and chemistry departments that there are new discoveries and technological breakthroughs.
It is estimated that a cheap way to obtain helium will be invented in a few weeks at most.
When the time comes, just replace hydrogen with helium, which can make up for the last defect of the airship as a means of transportation.
In addition to airships, I also found time to design several propeller planes that were powered by electricity.
After all, the kind of cylindrical crystals you create can store a lot of electricity, directly solving the biggest problem of energy supply.
Coupled with the use of various magic, electric aircraft are not only possible, but also have much greater potential for future development than airships.
In particular, the [Feather Fall Technique] of the first ring can easily fly with only a small amount of thrust, and easily complete high-speed maneuvering and steering that would have required a complex structure to do.
For this purpose, I changed the shape of the airplane to make it larger and more rounded, so that it could fit more people or cargo, and the speed was more than twice that of an airship, which could easily reach 1,100 kilometers per hour.
And we can also try to design an electric jet engine that can reach speeds above Mach 3 with the power of magic.
As for weapons, I'm already trying to miniaturize the railgun, and I'll have the chemistry department work on a smaller, more powerful magic bomb.
After the combination of the two, whether it is used as an air combat weapon or as an air gunboat to support the ground, the efficiency is definitely far better than that of an airship.
The most important thing is that it is not as large as an airship, and it is also more maneuverable in the air, so it will not become a live target once attacked like an airship. โ
Glancing at the drawings and reports given by Pol, the chief weapons designer of Floating City, Zuo Si immediately asked without raising his head: "Compared with airships, how much more expensive is the cost of airplanes?" โ
"Wellโabout the cost of building a large airship, about three large transport bombers. Although the carrying capacity of the latter is completely incomparable to the former. โ
Pol quickly gave a relatively accurate answer.
"In that case, let's try to build two of each of each."
After a little thought, Zuo Si quickly approved the plan.
As a modern person, it is naturally impossible for him not to be unaware of the disadvantages and advantages of the aircraft and the airship.
The latter can stay in the air for a long time without wasting too much energy, and is obviously more suitable as a means of transportation or an aerial platform;
The former is smaller, faster, and more flexible, making it more suitable for urgent missions or dangerous battlefields.
In addition to its own huge defects, there is also a very important reason why airplanes will replace airships on earth, which is the "Hindenburg" air crash that has attracted worldwide attention.
This air crash caused many people and wealthy people to fear and distrust the airship as a means of transportation, so that many airships under construction immediately stopped, and many related fields of research and development also lost financial support and had to be disbanded.
Later, after people realized some advantages of airships, the aircraft has been developed for more than 80 years, and the accumulation of technology is simply beyond the reach of airships.
Coupled with the pursuit of efficiency and speed in modern society, it eventually led to the unshakable hegemony of aircraft.
But as a traveling mage, Zuo Si obviously didn't need to take into account the feelings of the people.
With almost unlimited resources, he doesn't have to worry about how to allocate the most reasonable resources in the case of limited resources like many people.
As the saying goes, children make choices, and adults certainly want them all.
Whether it is an airship or an airplane, Zuosi will not hesitate to continue to invest resources in technology research and development, iteration and upgrading.
After cracking the creation of the Solan civilization, maybe there will be a very unscientific but very magical strange species of "ornithopter".
"Hey, hey! I knew you would always support our department. โ
Bol, who was very happy that the plan was approved, had undisguised excitement and anticipation on his face.
He used to work for the government department, and he never dared to imagine that a aircraft research and development project that could cost billions or even tens of billions of dollars could be approved in just a few seconds after submission.
In the eyes of this young weapons expert, the floating city of Plantia, led by Zuo Si, is a truly scientific, efficient, incorruptible, and near-perfect regime.
Only here do professionals like themselves gain enough respect and are managed by a group of senior people with the same expertise, and there is not even the slightest bit of corruption from top to bottom.
There is no need to pay attention to the unscrupulous politicians who will do anything for the sake of votes, and there is a group of ignorant people who may not be able to solve even the simplest binary equations, and even think that the earth is a flat surface, where they lash out at the latest scientific research in certain fields.
Let professional people do professional things!
This is the ideal state of society for many industry elites, including Ball.
And this state of society is absolutely impossible to achieve through the bullshit "democracy" and "freedom" that the mainstream values of the planet proclaim.
Contrary!
It requires a highly authoritarian government without political internal friction, which many see as strongman politics and dictatorship.
"Do a good job, I hope one day I can see you build a supership that can travel through the vast universe and even different planes." Zuo Si encouraged with a smile on his face.
Hearing this, Ball's eyes immediately lit up, and he asked in a tone that was not very certain: "Is there really such a creation in the world?" โ
Zuo Si nodded without thinking: "Of course!" As far as I know, there was an Ancient Traveling Mage named Urza who once built a ship called the Weatherlight. Not only can it travel freely in different time and space, but it also has almost infinite energy, which can withstand the baptism of time, and is the ultimate creation of a true combination of technology and magic. โ
"Damn! If only I could take a look! โ
Pol couldn't help but curse under his breath.
Knowing that the rudimentary technology gained by reverse-engineering things like dragon engines, constructs, and magical heavy cannons in another secret base had given him an eye-opening feeling, and he was full of respect for super civilizations like Solan and Phyrexian, which combined magic and technology.
Now, as soon as I heard that there was such an incredible creation as the Weatherlight spaceship, I immediately burst into a strong desire to learn in my subconscious.
Unfortunately, it is highly likely that the Weatherlight was destroyed by the time of the final battle between Urza and Yagmov.
Also destroyed are ancient legacies containing unknown powers, as well as the famous "Powerful Stones" and "Weak Stones".
Over the next few hours, Zuo Si visited the various departments in the Floating City, had in-depth exchanges with the people in charge, and approved some plans and research projects before returning to the Mage Tower in Askatra.
But he didn't stay here for long, just went underground to take a look at the newly established Goblin Dire Legion, which numbered only about five hundred people, and then teleported to the palace in the southern port of Carlin without stopping.
Compared with the deserted time when I came up, the number of guards and the number of servants here have increased significantly.
The aristocracy, the thieves' guilds, and the wealthy merchant class, which had been completely destroyed in the Great Purge, had been replaced by a civil bureaucracy of scholars and spell casters.
As expected, since Port Carlin had one of the largest educated populations in the entire continent of Ferron, it was simply not possible to maintain basic rule without nobles and merchants, as elsewhere.
Sean VII directly transformed the perimeter of the palace into the offices of ministers and bureaucrats, so it was not uncommon to see people coming in and out, even using teleportation magic to suddenly appear and disappear out of thin air.
And with the high-speed operation of the civilian system, there are also high-morale armies that are attacking from all sides.
Among them, Manshaka, an important stronghold along the Shining Sea to the east, and Arven, the most important shipbuilding center in Kalinshan and a magical research center with a large number of mages and warlocks, have now returned to the rule of the Empire.
Especially the latter, in order to complete the thorough suppression and clean-up of it, as the emperor, Shane VII did not hesitate to personally intervene.
In a brutal battle, he killed more than thirty powerful mages and warlocks in a near-crushing manner, uprooted the thieves' guild that was as rampant as the port of Carlin, and killed all the nobles, wealthy merchants, and slave owners who were unwilling to abolish slavery and tried to rebel.
After all this is done, all that remains is to follow the solution given by Zuo Si.
A portion of the wealth and women obtained by raiding the house were given to reward the army, and the rest was given to the churches of the god of suffering, justice, and loyalty to the god of courage.
They were responsible for distributing land to slaves and arranging jobs so that they could quickly become freedmen who owned property and could pay taxes to the state.
Although in the eyes of outsiders, it is somewhat surprising that these three gods, who represent order, justice, and goodness, work with an evil half-lich who has restored an ancient empire.
But the emancipation of millions of slaves had a very positive effect.
Moreover, this emancipation of the slaves was not a reckless act of impulsiveness on the part of the Lord of the Dawn, Loshanda, but a real act of kindness with a complete plan and a proper placement for him.
Even many paladins and forces from the good camp have traveled thousands of miles from very far away to provide some help within their means.
With the presence of these people, Sean VII didn't even need to spend too many troops to maintain law and order in the occupied area.
Before those monsters or evil forces that want to take advantage of the fire have time to jump out and do something, they will be quickly discovered and debunked by experienced adventurers, and then they will be dealt with swift and powerful blows.
Now, if you cross the Aramir Mountains by land, or attack from the sea and capture Surdover, the second largest city in the Kalinshan that holds the choke point to the Steam Lake, the rest of the towns in the southeast will give up their resistance and surrender.
But this is obviously not an easy thing to do.
Unlike the other cities of Carlinshan, Surdover was completely free from the rule of Port Carlin long ago, and remained semi-independent for hundreds of years.
Although it is still nominally part of the country, it has its own set of laws, regulations, and administrative systems.
Aside from the need to pay a tax each year, he ignored any orders issued by Port Carlin.
The ruling circles of Surdover are even trying to co-opt the cities of Tumun and Jespike, and collude with several towns in the border kingdom across the Channel, as if they want to establish a new state on their own.
If this plan succeeds, they will be able to control the only sea communication artery from the Shining Sea to the Steam Lake, and collect exorbitant tolls from all merchant ships that pass through it.
When Zuosi entered the main hall of the palace, he happened to see Sean VII and his appointed prime minister, Shaw Tarowian, and several other generals gathered in front of a sand table, seemingly discussing plans to attack Surdovour.
Sean VII noticed his arrival, immediately waved his hand to signal the others to stand back, and then casually asked, "Why did you have time to come to me today?" โ
Zuo Si smiled and responded, "I'll tell you the good news, I've got the spark, and it's being used to maintain an inter-space-time portal. โ
Moment!
The powerful half-lich's eyes burst with a terrifying light, and he immediately asked in an impatient tone, "When will I get it?" โ
"Of course, according to the agreement, when you have completed the obsession in your heart and are ready to leave this world forever. On top of that, don't forget to hand over the lifebox. Zuo Si reminded meaningfully.
"If you want a life box, I can give it to you right now. But it will obviously take time to unify Carlin and Tassel. I may be able to easily defeat the bastards who dare to steal the land of the Shane Empire, but I can't establish effective rule all at once. โ
Sean VII frowned, looking impatient for the first time.
Because at this moment, his desire to become a traveling mage has far outweighed his obsession with restoring the Shane Empire.
I even begin to feel that this time-consuming and laborious task is a burden rather than a pleasure for myself.
"There's no need to rush so much, you have plenty of time. And I'm going to hunt down more Brigade Mages and capture the spark from them. When the time comes, you may be able to choose one that suits you better. Zuo Si comforted quietly.
"I understand what you're saying. But the thing is, that doesn't dampen my desire for a spark. Anyway, it's just a little bit of time, and I've already begun to accelerate the military campaign to unify the whole of Kalinshan. โ
Sean VII had apparently calmed down and returned to his throne.
"Accelerate?"
Zuo Si keenly grasped a key word.
Sean VII nodded slightly: "Yes." While it's not easy for me to use and summon undead creatures to form armies right now, it doesn't mean you can't use necromantic magic or corresponding magic items.
Since the city-states weren't very good at soldiers who weren't willing to lay down their arms and surrender, I decided to create something that could exert the influence of fear on a large scale.
When the time comes, as long as this item is used on the battlefield against the soldiers of the enemy army, they will naturally scatter and flee and lose the will to fight.
And my army only needs to rush over and kill or capture it, and the city can be easily captured.
In this way, the plan to revive the Shane Empire may be completed ahead of schedule in a few months or so. โ
"I see!"
Zuo Si instantly understood the half-lich's thoughts.
You must know that although [Panic Technique] is a trivial part of magic, it can have an effect on people with a class level of LV5 and below, causing them to lose their will to fight and flee in embarrassment for six to twenty-four seconds.
While it may sound like a short moment, it can be deadly for an army that needs to be arrayed to meet it.
If it is carried out on a large scale, in just a few seconds, the entire army's command system will be completely chaotic and lose its ability to restrain itself.
When you see an enemy coming, your first instinct is to turn around and run.
Even if an officer who has regained consciousness tries to organize the personnel, they will be dispersed by the soldiers who are still under the influence of [Panic].
What's more, the defensive armies formed by most of the cities in the Faeron Continent did not even have a professional level at all, but simply received a little corresponding training.
As for combat effectiveness and will to fight......
It can't be said to be bad, at least it's still very good at dealing with nasty little monsters like goblins and kobolds.
But if it is replaced by the same number of orcs, gnolls, goblins, bear goblins, ogres and trolls, there is a high probability that they will be defeated or even annihilated in the field.
So a magic item that can unleash the effects of Panic on a large scale can definitely cause quite amazing effects on the battlefield.
However, although the Panic Technique is a one-ring spell, if you want to affect hundreds or even thousands of people at once, its enchantment level must not be low, and it must be a legendary magic item.
It is estimated that the value of the materials alone will cost hundreds of thousands of gold coins, and a lot of high-level spells will be used.
On top of that, this thing only works on targets below LV5 and LV5, and is fully immune as long as it reaches LV6.
This also means that except for "abusing vegetables", it is useless at all in the battle between real opponents of the same level, and it is a complete waste.
If it were Zuo Si, he would rather go directly to the field and use a legendary spell to directly bombard an army to death, and would never consider making such a thing.
However, as the emperor, Sean VII obviously did not think so, and instead began to explain his idea for this magic object on his own, and at the same time did not forget to invite Zuo Si to come in with him.
With the cooperation of the two, it only took three days for this "national treasure" to be officially released.
It is made in the shape of a horn, and if someone blows it hard, it can instantly apply the Fear [Panic Technique] effect to all creatures that hear it within a few kilometers of it, and it can blow once every six seconds on average, which is a military artifact.
If the opponent can't pull out an elite army with all career levels up to LV6, then you can directly raise the white flag and surrender.
Eventually, the horn was given to a general with a LV10 warrior rank and a LV5 weapon master rank.
Just one day later, he set out with a fleet from the port of Carlin and headed straight for Surdover.
Since the latter itself had an extremely developed shipbuilding industry, it immediately sent an even larger fleet to meet the attack.
The two sides eventually met in the shallow waters north of Sasot Island and a decisive battle began.
But the process is completely different from what many people imagine to be evenly matched, and it presents a one-sided posture.
Surdover's proud fleet began to rout before it could hold out for even ten minutes.
No!
It shouldn't be said to be a rout!
It's a complete collapse!
With the sound of the deadly horn echoing over the sea, the sailors and soldiers on the deck of the fleet of Surdover began to go mad, running out of the cabin as if they had seen something fearful, and one by one they jumped into the rough sea.
No matter how much the captains and officers with higher professional ranks tried to block it.
Some of the ship's mages and priests realized that this was magic, and immediately tried to dispel them with magic and magic techniques such as disarming magic and calming the mind.
Unfortunately, their daily spell casts are a drop in the bucket compared to the number of trumpets that can affect thousands of people at once.
After a while, the effort was exhausted, and I could only watch in despair as my own people jumped into the sea wave after wave like dumplings, and there was no reason at all.
By the time the fleet of the Shane Empire rushed up, there were no more people left on their ship.
After a short period of resistance, they were quickly captured and captured.
Some of the more clever ones even hoisted the white flag early to announce their surrender.
In this way, a sea battle that attracted the attention of the forces of the Shining Sea and the Steam Lake came to an almost child's play.
Sean VII's fleet managed to take down Surdover's proud fleet with little effort, and suffered almost nothing of its own.
Not only is there no loss!
His general also more than doubled the size of his ranks by capturing a large number of enemy ships.
As for the ordinary soldiers who jumped into the sea out of fear, they were soon rescued by order of the imperial generals, and were temporarily kept as prisoners at the bottom of the cabin.
After the capture of Surdover, most of them will be broken up, reorganized, and eventually absorbed into the forces of the Shane Empire.
Zuo Si witnessed this "tragic" battle situation throughout the whole process, and couldn't help but hold his forehead and sigh slightly: "It's really worthy of being a vegetable abuse artifact."
Twenty large warships, forty medium-sized ships, and more than a hundred small ships, plus thousands of skilled sailors and soldiers, were almost the entire water power of Surdover and more than eighty percent of the army.
In addition, it is impossible for the other side to know the information about the destruction of the fleet in a short period of time......
The general Taylor only needs to use his brains a little, stuff his soldiers into the ship that originally belonged to Surdover, disguise himself as victorious and launch a surprise attack, and the capture of Surdover is definitely a sure thing.
It seems that the unification of the Kalinshan region has entered the final countdown.
Once the south was pacified, and then he marched north to take Manon, Chaan VII could begin to deal with Tesser, who was mired in civil strife.
However, the royal power claims that this thing is really useful, and such a large-scale military conquest has not attracted any interference from outside forces. โ
