"The fire element is moving, it's not good that the enemy is releasing the forbidden spell, disperse quickly!"

As soon as the white-haired old man finished speaking, the people of the Holy See who had gathered together to defend scattered like frightened birds.

The expected forbidden spell did not fall, but because the team was scattered, it gave Bear Stearns an opportunity to take advantage of it, and the victims kept +1+1+1......

Realizing that they were deceived, everyone was powerless.

It's a conspiracy. Maxim is free to control the forbidden spell, and if they don't dodge it, the one that falls is the true forbidden spell.

With their small bodies to resist the forbidden spell, the end of nine out of nine will be ashes, and there is a 1% probability that they will leave a little wreckage.

If you choose to dodge, the original defensive formation is gone. In the face of Bear Stearns' sneak attack, in the case of precautions, the eighth-order paladin was able to pass two moves, and the rest of them were tragic.

The difference in strength is too great, no matter how well prepared you are, you can't stop the Sacred Domain powerhouse from engaging in a sneak attack!

Especially the magician is the worst, even if it is an eighth-order archmage, once Bear Stearns is close, there is no room for struggle.

The dragon catches everyone's attention in front, and the Earth Bear plays behind and sneaks up. Such a golden combination directly made the Holy See lose their temper.

Seeing the team continue to shrink, I want to organize a counterattack, but I don't know where to start.

Originally, it was thought that the dragon knight Hudson would be a weakness, but unfortunately the dragons did not play melee combat with them, but only released magical harassment from afar in the sky.

Less than five kilometers after advancing, it was attacked seven times, and the original team of more than 200 people has now lost more than half of its personnel.

Realizing the seriousness of the problem, Jelačić said with a gloomy face: "Those hypocritical nobles have the most important reputation, and Hudson can pull down his face to sneak attack, showing that he is not ready to let us leave alive."

The artillery has stopped, and outside it is the enemy's navy. The evacuation plan we had in place is no longer working.

For now, the only way to do so is to take refuge on the island, and when the fog covers the sea again, is our chance to break out and leave.

When everyone gathers together, the target is too big, and it is easy to be targeted by the enemy. Then we will disperse our actions, and whether we live or die is a matter of luck.

As long as someone is alive, bring the news back and let ......"

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a meteorite rain falling from the sky.

"The enemy's sneak attack is here again!"

As soon as this thought came to his mind, Jelačić could no longer hesitate at all, and immediately ordered: "Go separately!" ”

This order is very cruel, which means that most of the people in the team will die in the pursuit of the enemy.

But there was no way, and they gathered together and were worn to death by round after round of sneak attacks by the enemy; It's better to scatter and hide, seeking that glimmer of life.

Anyway, the ship was destroyed by the enemy, and even if everyone gathered, there was no way to evacuate Poison Dragon Island.

Now we can only gamble on our lives, betting that after the fog covers this sea again, there will be merchant ships that strayed into this place, creating a chance for them to leave.

Otherwise, you will be trapped and starved to death, on this isolated island.

The team scattered and fled, and it did earn a chance for survival, but it also created an opportunity for Bear Stearns.

Originally, it could only be attacked by sneak attack, but now it has directly become a chase. When disaster strikes, you fly separately, you don't need to outrun the enemy, you just need to outrun your companions.

The white-haired old man who was running at the front of the line suddenly realized that something was wrong, and he always felt that something was staring at him from his back, and when he looked back, he saw that it was a dragon chasing after him.

"Earl Hudson, there's something to discuss! Everybody's ......."

Before the old man could finish speaking, the rain of fire in the sky had already shrouded him, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly dodged.

It's a pity that everything was in vain, dodging the magic attack, but not being able to dodge Maxim's dragon tail.

The crispy nature of the magician was exposed at this moment. Even if he held up the magic shield, he still couldn't avoid the fate of being slapped into flesh.

At the last moment before he died, the old man realized the problem.

Everyone has no grievances and no hatred, so many little brothers along the way do not kill, and they specifically arrest him to chase and kill him alone, obviously for the "Scepter of Glory" in his hand.

It's a pity that everything realized that it was too late, if he had reacted earlier when he was fleeing for his life and threw the artifact in his hand, he would definitely not have died so quickly.

Putting away the Scepter of Glory, Hudson sighed. It's not that he's ruthless, it's just that things are too tricky, and he has to be silenced!

When he took away the Excalibur just now, he hadn't reacted yet, and when the old man released the forbidden spell with the help of the staff, he recognized that this was the legendary "Glory Scepter".

"Divine Crown", "Scepter of Glory", "Holy Sword of Light", the Holy See's artifacts come standard with a three-piece set, and two of them actually fell into his hands.

If this news spreads, the mountain territory will never have peace. Not only did the Holy See trouble him, but other forces on the mainland would also peep.

Looking at this Holy See team, you can know how deep the real top forces are, and it is not something that he can parry as a dragon knight.

For the sake of safety, then you can only kill people. Hudson had already made up his mind that if he could not strangle all the Holy See and his party, he would block the Misty Sea and prohibit ships from taking this route.

This matter is obviously not something he can do alone, and he must pull several nearby coastal nobles to make a move, so that it can be done.

With Hudson's current status, it is not difficult for everyone to sell personal favors, but the difficulty is not to arouse suspicion from the outside world.

Human nature, often the more blocked, the easier it is to arouse everyone's curiosity. The blockade of the route can only block the passing merchant ships, but it can't stop these big nobles from sending people to explore.

Hudson had two paths in front of him:

First, divide the two artifacts with the Dalton family, and everyone faces the crisis together.

It was only with Hudson's knowledge of Earl Pierce that he was not such a bold man. What's more, the artifact has no substantive meaning to the Dalton family.

The political significance of the artifact itself is mainly to divide the legal system of the Holy See, which is not something that a big nobleman can control alone.

The two artifacts are both light-based, and at least two eighth-order powerhouses who cultivate the power of the light system can be basically driven.

Even if they gave the artifact to the Dalton family, they couldn't find anyone to use it. For the Dalton family, keeping the artifact in their hands is purely a hot potato.

Second, throw one piece to the king, transfer the firepower, and return it in exchange for some benefits.

Anyway, the only people who knew that he had obtained two artifacts were people from the Holy See. As long as these people are not allowed to leave alive, the outside world will not know that both artifacts are in his hands.

After all, it's a miracle that an artifact can come across one. If you meet two people at once, no one will believe you when you say it.

"That's it, there is a give-and-take!"

After a moment's hesitation, Hudson made a choice between the two artifacts. The "Scepter of Glory" can't be used at all, and the "Holy Sword of Light" can still be used to cut people.

On the surface, the sealed Bright Holy Sword and his Knight Sword also looked similar. Because of Maxim, no one dared to look at his knight's sword up close, and if it was replaced, it would not be discovered.

When Hudson wanted to grab a job to ask, Bear Stearns finished the job first.

Except for a few lucky ones who were hidden, the rest either became dead souls under the bear's claws or died under the mouths of poisonous insects. If you want to get an answer from them, I'm afraid you can only summon the undead.

Hudson does know a little bit of necromancy, but how can someone who has been dealing with heretics for a long time not be prepared?

The holy water they carry with them greatly reduces the probability of turning them into undead. Even if the summoning is successful, most undead creatures will not be able to retain their memories of their previous lives.

Why the "Battle of Glory" and the "Bright Sword" appeared here has become an unsolved mystery to Hudson.

The Holy See hierarchy must have known, but it was impossible for him to ask. Satisfying curiosity is important, but saving your life is even more important.

After putting an end to the bottom of the matter, he picked up the artifact and returned to the fleet, only to see a group of pirates gathered on the shore to surrender to the fleet.

It is clear that these guys who surrendered are smart people. Knowing that the people of the Holy See would not let them go, he decisively changed his followers.

It's just that at this moment they are in trouble, and the fleet in front of them represents not only the Dalton family, but also the Coslow family.

The two families work together to do a good job, and how to deal with these pirates also needs to be decided after discussion between the two families.

Perhaps out of respect for the strong, the fleet simply let the pirates stay on the shore and did not accept their surrender at the first time.

Glancing at the pirate leader who was resting on the shore, Hudson said indifferently: "Give you a chance to live, and explain everything you know."

Don't try to hide it, you won't survive more than a month on the island without our protection! ”

Deep down, Hudson had already begun to think about whether to wipe out these people together.

Pirates are pirates after all, and even if they surrendered, Hudson could still find an excuse to kill them all, not to mention that he had not yet accepted their surrender.

"Don't worry, my lord, I'll explain it all!

Originally, I was a down-and-out aristocrat in a small central country, and because of the decline of my family, I went out to find a livelihood, and I was later favored by the Holy See.

Since then, he has become a pirate according to their orders, and has been active in the central and southern seas all year round.

This time, I was selected to go north to Poison Dragon Island, mainly because when I was wandering on the mainland, I once strayed into this place and successfully survived and left.

The purpose of the Holy See's trip seems to be to find some artifact on the island. I have a very low status in the Holy See, and that's all I know. ”

Listening to Brutebeard's answer, the killing intent in Hudson's heart diminished a little. It doesn't matter if you don't know, I'm afraid I'm afraid I know too much.

No matter who asks, he, Lord Hudson, has only harvested one artifact on Poison Dragon Island.

"I've got the artifact, but there are still a lot of remnants of the Holy See active on the island. The strength of these people is not weak, and they are hiding in the shadows, and they have no time to encircle and suppress them for a while.

Byron, while the fog is still not obscuring your view, you send men to search around the island and destroy all the ships.

Even an antique ship from hundreds of years ago will be smashed to me with a magic crystal cannon. Don't let go of the big planks, either.

Time is running out for us, and we must destroy all the means of navigation before the fog rises.

Let these pirates go here first, I'll watch them myself, and take them with me when I get back! ”

The command tone should not have been in the partners. However, Hudson has a special status, and he also serves as the commander-in-chief of the kingdom's combat readiness mobilization.

A position where even he himself can't figure out the boundaries of power, the outside world is even more confused.

Whether he has the power to mobilize the armed forces of the whole country, Wang Du did not give an accurate statement, but this does not affect Hudson's orders.

"Yes, Lord Count!"

Byron replied respectfully.

Originally, he wanted to discuss the ownership of the artifact, but when the words came to his lips, he forcibly took them back. No matter who the artifact belongs to, it will not be his turn to be a descendant of the family.

The earl's nephews and nephews did not open their mouths to talk about it, and he did not bother to be a bird.

Negotiating this kind of thing requires reciprocity of status. Let them negotiate with Hudson, obviously suffer a big loss.

The fleet began its mission, and only Viscount Cailliaud remained with a group of guards and Hudson, nominally to help guard the pirates, but in fact to keep an artifact in mind.

It's just that Hudson grabbed the thing, and Cayo really didn't know what excuse to intervene to get a piece of the pie.

"Scepter of Glory, interested?"

As he spoke, Hudson did not shy away from throwing the scepter in his hand to Viscount Cailliaud, as if he had lost a big problem.

"The Scepter of Glory of the Holy See!"

"How is this possible?"

Cayo said in a trembling voice.

As a symbol of the Holy See, almost every ceremony, the Scepter of Glory will come out and make an appearance. There is no news of loss at all, but the artifact staff in his hand can't deceive people.

After a moment's hesitation, Cailliaud hurriedly returned the Scepter of Glory to Hudson. This thing is really not something that the Dalton family can worry about, and taking it back will only bring disaster to their own family.

"Lord Earl, you obtained this thing, and if you dispose of it yourself, we will not participate!"

Seeing this scene, Hudson smiled wryly.

"The Scepter of Glory is different from ordinary artifacts, and it's really too hot for the two of us.

Since your Dalton family is not interested, then I will send it to the royal capital. If His Majesty wants to establish a separate Holy See, this is the best legal basis. ”

Caesar IV is not Caesar III, and no one can be sure whether he dares to take this hot potato.

However, it is better to throw things out than to stay in the southeastern province and cause trouble for your own family. With the size of the Alpha Kingdom, as long as the king is ambitious, he can still withstand the pressure.

"Lord Earl, this topic is too sensitive. There's a bunch of pirates here, and it's really not time to talk about it right now! ”

Viscount Cayo said with a flustered expression.

It can be seen that he is really afraid. Hudson can take things out in a fair and bright way, that is, his own strength is strong enough, and he is not pressed by the debt.

Viscount Cayo can't, although he is a direct member of the Dalton family, but he is only a "member", not the heir of the family.

The political weight is much lower than Hudson's, and if he does not know whether to participate in it alive or dead, he may die at any time.

It is very difficult for the Holy See to kill a dragon knight, but it is not difficult to kill a child of a great nobleman.

In the political struggle, Hudson never did things to the end, but he was afraid that he would push people into a hurry, and the other party would directly break through all the political bottom lines and attack the ordinary members of the Coslow family.

"Well, the Scepter of Glory is not for staying. When the affairs on the island are settled, I will send them to the royal capital.

These pirate captives can only be used as coolies, with little value, and there is no need to subdivide them.

Simply you and I have half of each family, and you can send half of the people to the mountains to receive them afterwards. ”

Hudson said with a steady.

Naked conspiracy, the opportunity is given. If the Dalton family wants a piece of the pie, they just need to send someone to follow.

The artifact cannot be given in vain, and the king will certainly compensate in other ways. The benefits are visible to the naked eye, but the risks are also imminent.

It is uncertain how long the news can be blocked, and once it spreads, the political consequences of snatching the artifact and killing important members of the Holy See will have to be borne by both families.

Compared to these, a few pirate captives are really not worth mentioning. For the Dalton family, these people could really only be used as coolies.

At the moment when he just took the scepter of glory, Viscount Cayo's first reaction was to kill these people.

With only a few hundred captives, the Dalton family, who has a big family, still has no shortage of this little labor.

"Your Excellency, you can decide for yourself, and we will not be involved.

The success of this operation is mainly due to you. You have the right to dispose of all the loot.

Pirate captive, we will send you a lot of them to the territory afterwards. ”

Viscount Cayo hurriedly refused.

He believed that even if his uncle was here, he would make a similar decision. If they had known that there was a Scepter of Glory on Poison Dragon Island, they wouldn't have joined in the fun.

The current situation is that not to mention the loss of their own troops, they may also be involved in the whirlpool of the game between royal power and divine power, and the family will be smashed to pieces if they are not careful.

This kind of hate-pulling thing is still up to Hudson to do well. The dragon knights have rough skin and thick flesh, and they can withstand the wind and rain, but they ordinary people can't.

In an instant, Cayilliaud's thirst for strength reached the extreme. The lack of peak combat power has become the biggest shortcoming restricting the development of the Dalton family.

Not to mention the pervert of the dragon knight, even if he cultivates a few eighth-order powerhouses, he can increase his own right to speak.

Of course, this is what Cailliaud did not know about on the island. If he knew that there were eight eighth-order powerhouses and more than twenty seventh-order powerhouses in the team sent by the Holy See this time, his perception of the peak powerhouses would have changed.

Hudson had no intention of showing off his achievements, and his means of winning were not in line with the spirit of the aristocracy.

Burying the truth forever is the best option. In the future, when the Holy See retaliates, it is also possible to let the Dalton family follow as companions.

Judging purely from the data, there is not a single weak person in the Holy See team of more than 200 people, and it is obviously not Hudson who can kill them all.

According to normal people's understanding, it must be that the people of the Dalton family also participated in the battle, and the two sides joined forces to make the blood eucalyptus.

People will only believe what they see, and the losses of the Dalton family fleet are heavy, and there is a high probability that they will also be counted in battle losses by the Holy See.

"Ghost Ship", "Storm at Sea", the more legendary these legends, the less people believe them.

The fog gradually thickened, as if it was about to envelop the entire sea, and the noisy Poison Dragon Island fell silent again.

The fleet began to slowly embark on its way home. A dragon roared through the air, and Hudson had already left first.
