On the sea, bathed in the summer sun, the sacred flag flutters in the wind.

The last time the three fleets acted together was three hundred years ago. In the end, although it ended in failure, the epic retreat of the Holy See was completed.

"The Arphyns didn't even make a symbolic interception, and it seems that Caesar III's death took away their courage as well."

Fourth Fleet Commander Hamodi said mockingly.

If you can't hold your own sphere of influence, you naturally can't gain everyone's respect. Especially now this practice of ignoring them and letting them in is even more a sign of weakness.

The international struggle is very delicate, and the weaker it is, the easier it is to expose its own hypocrisy and reality, and the more the other side will have to gain an inch.

"Hamodi, don't take it lightly.

If the Arfa had succumbed so easily, there would have been no need for us to go north.

Don't you see people coming? ”

As soon as Moses finished speaking, a ship flying the flag of the Alpha Kingdom appeared in the distance, slowly heading towards them.

……

"Hello Your Excellency, three commanders, on behalf of the Alpha Kingdom, I would like to welcome you all.

This is a chart of the misty ocean. I hope that the three of them can lead the army to quell the scourge of the ghost ship as soon as possible and restore peace to the sea.

The soldiers on the battlefield are very fast, so I will disturb the three of them. ”

After speaking, the envoy turned around and left directly, as if he was sending off the plague god.

was so angry that Hamodi was furious, but he was pulled by the two people beside him.

The two countries are not at war, and now they have not entered a state of war, how can they do anything to the envoys.

It's not 300 years ago, and the Holy See can't just label someone a heretic and send someone to the barbecue.

In the face of the nobility of various countries, the Holy See also had to abide by the new rules of the game.

"What are you pulling me for, this person is so arrogant, don't give him a little bit of power......"

Before he could finish speaking, the commander of the First Fleet, Moses, interrupted: "Enough Hamody, why are you still so impulsive."

With the relationship between us and the Alpha Kingdom, is it possible that you still expect the other party to be able to greet you sincerely?

If you make a move just now, the other party will dare to die to show you. If the Terran Alliance investigates it, the people above may not be able to protect you to the death! ”

The commander of the fleet is not in a high position of authority in the Holy See, and none of the high-ranking members of the Holy See on the Holy Mountain are from the Navy.

This is dictated by tradition. Before the development of the navy, the position above was carved up, and as a latecomer, it naturally could not rush in.

This labor expedition was, in Moses's view, an opportunity to prove the value of the navy.

For the sake of a small matter, the navy's plan is ruined, which is absolutely not allowed.

"Moss, it's not that I'm looking for trouble, it's mainly that the other party is bullying people too much.

What are we going to do, how can we listen to outsiders' commands?

Send a pair of charts over, do you think that we can't even figure out the information of the misty sea, and we still need them to help? ”

Hamodi couldn't help but complain.

Just because he is impulsive doesn't mean he's really stupid.

Although the Holy See is a society, it also needs to test its ability. If you really are a waste idiot, you will not be able to get into the position of commander of the fleet.

The performance just now seems reckless, but isn't it a human need?

It is not only for the Alfa to see, but also for the boss of his own family, to maintain the dignity of the Holy See and proper political correctness.

If you really want to make a move, you can't be pulled by your companions at such a close distance.

"What's so strange about it, it's nothing more than wanting to borrow our hands to get rid of the ghost ship lurking in the sea of mist.

According to the information from the Holy Mountain, the Eastern Warhammer Kingdom's battle line is on the verge of collapse, and most of the Arfa have been drawn to it.

In the short term, I am afraid that I will not be able to take care of the coastal areas.

On the bright side, we can't help us, so naturally we have to play yin. The Sea of Mist is known as one of the top ten murderous places on the mainland, and the ships that enter it cannot be said to be dead or alive, at least seven or eight out of ten will be damaged.

Now that there are ghost ships lurking in them, the danger is even greater.

The Arfa clearly wanted to borrow a knife to kill someone, and now it depends on whether the knife they borrowed is sharp enough. ”

Moses sneered.

The sinister continent of the Sea of Mists is well known, but they have a reason to enter.

This operation was originally under the banner of encircling and suppressing the ghost ship, and if there was no actual action at all, the face of the Holy See would not be good.

The most critical thing is the news of the artifact.

The treasure hunt team disappeared in the misty seas, suspected to be the black hand of the Alpha Person, but the issue of the artifact has not yet been conclusive.

Whether the Alpha was the black hand of the treasure hunt team before entering the poison dragon island, or the black hand when they returned, or whether the treasure hunt team had an accident in the process of searching for the artifact.

The Holy See must clarify these uncertain issues.

Otherwise, one day, a inheritance artifact suddenly appeared from the outside world, and it would be a tragedy to announce the establishment of another Holy See as a legal system.

Glancing at the chart, it was the most widely circulated version on the mainland, and Moses shook his head secretly.

The performance of the Alpha person is too stingy, and if you want to play with a knife to kill people, you also have to give a detailed version of the chart!

However, considering the particularity of the misty sea area, it seems that it is enough to give an approximate location, anyway, no matter where you enter, it will be a cloud of fog.

The sun can't shine in, day and night can't be distinguished, and there is a poisonous dragon island inside, and it doesn't seem to make any difference whether there is a sea chart inside or not.

Under the guidance of the guide, the fleet moved slowly, leaving enough energy to deal with the incoming enemy.

Obviously, this is a distrust of the Alpha Kingdom, always on the lookout.

The disdain on the lips is just for the soldiers, and the high-level commanders are not stupid and really don't take the Alpha Kingdom seriously.

……

In the royal capital, Field Marshal Hudson, who was firmly engaged in military affairs, once again had to take leave of absence from King Caesar IV.

Similar leave requests happen several times a month.

It's not that Hudson wants to fish, it's that the current working system of the Alpha Kingdom is too anti-human.

The system of ten days off makes it really difficult for a family like Hudson to live far away.

As a good man who cares about his family, after the training of the army was regularized, Hudson strictly implemented the system of five days off and five days off.

It's inevitable to delay a little more once in a while.

After all, the affairs of the kingdom have to be dealt with, and the affairs of the territory also need to be worried about him.

This is the advantage of the dragon knight, if other nobles also go back and forth so frequently, they can exhaust the demonic beast.

"Marshal, I just received news that the Holy See fleet has entered the waters of the kingdom."

Listening to the guards, Hudson knew it was time for him to set off again.

The kingdom wants to attack the Holy See fleet, how can he be missing as a commander?

It wasn't Hudson's boasting, and without him taking the lead, even if the Holy See fleet suffered heavy losses, the great nobles of the coastal provinces might not really dare to fall into the ground.

This is determined by the age of those in power. It seems that the governors of the provinces are all in the prime of life, but in fact, many people are holding their grandchildren.

The Earl of Pierce, who is over fifty years old, is considered to be in the prime of life among the rulers of the major families.

Life expectancy is short, what does that have to do with those in power?

As long as the children of the great nobles are gifted and have no accidents on the way, it is easy to live to be 180 years old.

The normal change of power is often after the heir's temperament is sharpened into an old fritter in the political arena, usually after the age of forty or fifty.

Shou Jiangshan is the best age, and all his ability and prestige have been exercised. Neither will fall into twilight due to lack of energy, nor will it act impulsively when young.

"Send this document to the palace."

Hudson said in a surging voice.

The training is regular, and there is not much to do with him, the marshal. Except for the occasional spot check on the training, the rest of the time is spent fishing.

For the officers below, the current training is not only training, but also their fame and fortune and small lives.

At the beginning, Hudson was still carefully supervised, and later found out whether he was there, and everyone trained very hard, so they simply didn't bother to care.

There is little military affairs, and asking the king for leave is naturally a formality, proving that he respects the king.

As for whether Caesar IV approved it or not, Hudson would leave the royal capital before the fake arrived at the palace anyway, and it was too late to chase people back.

……

"This is the Sea of Mist, as the legend suggests.

If there is no master with you, once an ordinary ship goes deep into it, it will be really difficult to find the direction!

The area of the Misty Sea is not small, whether it is searching for the ghost ship or searching for the Poison Dragon Island, it is not something that can be completed in a day or two.

The fog was shrouded inside, and many of the weapons and equipment on the ship were useless, and ordinary soldiers were afraid that they would not be able to help much.

This battle is not easy to fight! ”

Hamodi said with a frown.

The magic crystal cannon can't play a role, and ordinary soldiers and ghosts are fighting each other, just giving away people's heads.

In case the fleet suffered heavy losses due to the encirclement and suppression of the ghost ships, a few of them would not be able to explain when they returned.

"If the battle is easy, it won't be our turn.

There are many people who are worried about the core of the ghost ship, and the Alfa has assembled a fleet along the coast, and finally chose to give up when the matter came, and the danger can be imagined.

The armament on the ship could not be used.

In a sense, after entering the sea of mist, there is not much difference between a warship and an ordinary merchant ship.

It seems that we can only leave the fleet out and send our experts to search for the traces of the ghost ship in depth, and only after dealing with these guys can we go to Poison Dragon Island with confidence. ”

Moses said slowly.

Leaving the fleet outside, no less fraught with risk. In the unlikely event that the Arfa attack them, the time to divide the troops is the best time for the other party to make a move.

Although the three fleets combined are stronger than the entire naval force of the Alpha Kingdom, it is not only the fleets that affect the outcome of the war.

Gathering more eighth-order masters, or mobilizing air power, can help in a big battle.

"Send a few boats over, light the spirit lantern and try to lure the ghost ship first.

If you lure these guys out, the rest of the battle will be worry-free. ”

The commander of the Second Fleet on the side proposed.

"Good!"

……

A few worthless supply ships were honored to take on this cannon fodder mission and slowly roam along the edge of the fog.

This scene happened to be caught by Hudson flying from the sky.

With such clumsy acting skills, he also wants to lure out his own ghost ship, and he is not afraid of wasting time and losing his troops.

As soon as the mocking expression was revealed, reality began to slap in the face, and Hudson clearly sensed that the ghost ship was approaching this way.

"Spiritual Lantern!"

Recognizing the origin of the mysterious black smoke, Hudson's face changed drastically.

It's not a good thing.

According to ancient records, the spiritual lamp is a sacred object of an ancient cult, and once lit, it is very attractive to the soul body.

The greater the number of souls devoured, the more powerful the Spiritual Lamp becomes.

Because the production process is too cumbersome and the use is too vicious, it has long disappeared in the long river of history.

How it was made, Hudson didn't know, anyway, the fuel was corpse oil.

The Holy See has taken out all this thing, no wonder it dares to announce to the public that it will definitely be able to destroy the ghost ship.

Without the slightest hesitation, one person, one dragon and one bear landed directly on the deck of the ghost ship, and the three ghost kings hurriedly came out to greet them.

"I've seen the Lord! I don't know ......."

Before the Ghost King could finish speaking, Hudson interrupted, "Immediately stop advancing and turn into the Poison Dragon Island to collect poison!" ”

Poisonous Dragon Island is full of poisonous insects, a place where proper living people should not enter, but ghosts are obviously not included in it.

Unless it was a toxin acting on the soul, it had no effect on them spirits.

"Yes!"

It can be seen that the three ghost kings are very conscious of being slaves, and although they don't know why, they still honestly accept the task.

……

The fog surrounded the sea, and the smoke from the burning of the spirit lamp, made everyone on the ship flutter, but they still didn't see the shadow of the ghost ship, and the faces of the three fleet commanders were also ugly.

"Maybe the ghost ship is too far away to sense the situation here, so send someone over to extinguish the spirit light!

That thing is too evil, if it continues to burn, I am afraid that there will be no living people on the few boats sent out. ”

Hamodi said with a solemn expression.

Evil weapons are evil weapons after all, and even evil weapons such as spiritual lamps for spirits have a great impact on ordinary people.

In just a few moments, the soldiers on board lost their minds.

This is lucky, if the ghost ship does come, I'm afraid none of them will survive.

"If the temptation doesn't work, then just divide the troops!

Our strength has not been damaged, and the Alfa should not dare to act rashly.

With the spirit lamp there, even if the ghost ship comes out from behind, it can't threaten the fleet. ”

Moses said without changing his face.

There is no proposal to let the master of the ghost ship carry the spirit light, not because the thing is not easy to use, but purely because the side effects are too great.

Losing one's mind is one thing, but the key is that after absorbing the smoke emitted by the spirit lamp, it will seriously affect Shouyuan.

If you dare to give such an order, it is estimated that the masters who accompany the ship will turn against him.

……

Above the clouds, Maxim eagerly proposed, "Hudson, do you want me to put a forbidden spell on them and destroy the evil weapon below?" ”

Hearing this proposal, Hudson rolled his eyes. In this way, where is the sneak attack and plot, it is clearly a direct declaration of war to the Holy See.

The entire Aslant continent is active outside with a red dragon in Maxim, and if you want to find the dragon's back, you can't find it, and the dragon knight is responsible for causing trouble.

Head-on with the Holy See, Hudson said he wasn't crazy.

"What's the hurry, wait for the ghosts to collect enough poison and settle accounts.

Isn't it just a spiritual lamp, then they have to have time to light it.

Besides, this is the sea, and the wind and waves have extinguished the lights, which is also reasonable! ”

Patience, Hudson is the most lacking.

If the Holy See and his party did not divide their troops, he would only let the ghost ship survive in the sea of mist.

But now it's different, a large number of masters have left the fleet, and the rest are ordinary naval officers and sailors.

Having personally tested the strength of the ghost ship, Hudson knew very well that these people could not destroy the ghost ship.

As long as the hull is not destroyed, the ghost can be killed at will, and it can be resurrected anyway.

The officers and soldiers of the Holy See are different, if they die, they are really dead.

People died at the hands of ghosts, and no matter how heavy the losses were, the Holy See could only admit it for itself.

Without this fleet, the papal masters who entered the fog would have become meat on the eucalyptus.

It doesn't matter if you can't beat those masters, as long as you destroy their ship, you can fly back to the mainland by yourself if you have the ability.

"Stupid dragon, it will be night to do the black hand!

If the lights are dark, you go to the sea and take a bath, and the wind and waves can overturn the boat. ”

Bear Stearns, who was on the side, decisively made up for it.

There is a slight change in the dark light of the seabed, and it is impossible to see clearly. Any accident can happen in the vast sea, and the emergence of a sea monster is nothing new.

No matter how rich the associations are, it is difficult for the Holy See to directly lock the suspicion on Maxim.

What's more, there is also evidence of alibi, and all the nobles of the Alpha Kingdom can prove that Lord Hudson took his mount to a meeting in the palace.

……

The weather at sea is subject to change, and as night approaches, a storm swept in first.

The rolling waves constantly crashed against the ship, as if they wanted to swallow the fleet that was stuck on the sea. The commander of the fleet, Moses, who remained behind, showed the qualities he deserved.

"Pass the order, activate the defensive magic array immediately!

Keep a distance between adjacent warships and beware of collisions......"

……

In the distance, three ghost ships that were fully loaded and returned, after avoiding the Holy See's search team, slowly sailed out of the misty sea.

"It's good that the ship stops here, don't go up and engage the enemy, you can fly!"

Let the ghosts throw the poisonous insects they have collected on these warships. Remember to keep things quiet and try not to be noticed. ”

Hudson warned sternly.

"Yes, Lord!"

It could be seen from the depressed expressions of the ghosts how resistant they were to this order, but there were three ghost kings who pressed them and had to carry out the order.

Frankly speaking, he really couldn't understand why the ghost ship chose to engage in broadside battles every time it came out to rob.

Far away from the enemy's fire strike range, how perfect it is to directly let the "Ah Piao" sneak attack in the past!

No wonder the number of ghost ships is small, it is purely because these guys have the attribute of death in their bones, and they have been dead for many years, so they have to think that they are still alive.

Hudson can't control other ghost ships, anyway, the ghosts on his own ship can't be so stupid.
