Arriving at Port Watson, after a brief breakfast, Hudson immediately called a meeting of the representatives.

There are some suspicions of overstepping authority, but the authority of the commander-in-chief is not clearly limited to the army, and it is estimated that everyone can accept the occasional command of the navy.

"Just now I went to the sea and found that the lone Holy See warship fled in confusion, and something should have happened.

As members of the Terran Alliance, we can't watch our allies get into trouble.

Send people out to investigate in all directions, find out the situation as soon as possible, and then organize people to rescue. ”

Politics is like that, there are things that can be done, but not spoken.

In order to make it easier for everyone to understand, Hudson also deliberately accentuated the tone of "allies" and "rescue".

"Marshal, the three major fleets of the Holy See are powerful, and there are few in the entire continent that are their opponents.

What's more, there are a large number of masters in the fleet, and it is almost impossible for accidents to happen under normal circumstances.

Could it be that the storm broke up the fleet? ”

Byron asked, confused.

Human beings are small in the face of the power of nature. Humans can't crush a fleet, but nature can.

Once you encounter a big storm at sea, even if you have a magic array to protect you, you will inevitably suffer heavy losses.

The last time the Dalton family's fleet sank several warships in the middle of a storm.

"Now it's up to the people of the Holy See to ask, the sea is changing, who knows what is going on?

I heard that in recent times, piracy has been so rampant that even lone warships dare to attack.

When you go to search and rescue, you should also be careful. ”

Hudson said nonchalantly.

This kind of thing is not suitable for the navy to do, at least it cannot be done by hanging its own flag.

Hudson didn't believe that there weren't a few pirates in the hands of the major families to do the dirty work.

Now is the time for pirates.

The enemy's capital ships are gone, and the rest are small warships, and the personnel may not be able to be fully manned.

It's best to leave it to the pirates. Even if it leaked out, it was the pirate's doing.

With one more fig leaf, things end well. If it is really directly opposed, it will be another political storm.

……

"Captain, there's a pirate ahead?"

Looking in the direction of his deputy, Odebil saw a fleet flying pirate flags, speeding towards them.

The muzzle of the cannon had already aimed at them, and at the moment when Odd hesitated, the magic crystal cannon on the opposite side had already sounded.

"No!"

"Damn pirates, how dare you provoke ......"

"Organize a counterattack immediately and make them regret coming into this world!"

"Boom, boom, boom......"

After a short encounter, Odebiao's warship was unfortunately shot and did not lose its combat effectiveness, but the flexibility of the warship was greatly reduced.

"No, these people aren't pirates!

The despicable Arfa actually let the navy pretend to be a pirate......

Retreat! ”

Realizing this, it was already too late.

This is the territory of the Alpha Kingdom after all, and since the sight of the pirate ship, the best chance of escape has been lost.

Similar scenes are happening on the sea.

The swarming "pirates" are constantly hunting down the lone Holy See warships. Even the lucky ones who floated on the surface of the sea with a splint were not able to continue to be lucky.

……

"Quick, it's safe to leave here and enter the waters of the Hessian Kingdom!"

Powell kept urging.

As an old captain, with his rich experience, he has escaped round after round of "pirate" interceptions.

In order to increase survivability, two more Holy See warships that also fled in a hurry were pulled on the way, and the combined strength of the three ships finally rushed to the junction area of the two countries' waters.

Generally speaking, this kind of two-way zone is a favorite of pirates.

However, this is the safest area for the Holy See fleet that survived the catastrophe.

True pirates are just for money, and the high-risk work of robbing warships has never been in the business of pirates.

It's a pity that Powell missed a point, and it wasn't just the Alpha Kingdom that wanted the Holy See fleet to be destroyed.

The conflict between the Alpha Kingdom and the Holy See is serious, and the Kingdom of Hesse, which is closer to the Holy See, cannot have no conflict with the Holy See.

The difference is that Alexander V was more forbearing, and even if there was a conflict with the Holy See, most of them chose to settle the matter.

The longer the forbearance, the more fierce the outburst becomes.

After determining that there had been an accident with the Holy See fleet, the Alpha Kingdom immediately informed the neighboring countries of the news, and the one who fell into the well +1+1......

As the first to rush out, Powell was very unfortunate to be the first victim.

As soon as he was about to approach the port for resupply, he was followed by a "pirate".

"Captain, these pirates really don't have long eyes, and they dare to follow all the way here."

The pirates all ran to the vicinity of the port, clearly ignoring the port's fleet. It's a miracle that the unsightly pirates here haven't been exterminated.

Suddenly, Powell realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly ordered: "Quickly stay away from the port, there is ...... here"

Before the order was given, several more pirate ships came from the direction of the port, blocking their way.

If you look closely, you can also see these pirate flags on top of them, as well as the newly put away flag of the Hessian Kingdom's navy.

The roaring magic crystal cannon sounded again, and the three Holy See warships that were tragically attacked in front and rear still did not escape after all.

After the war ended, the pirate ship disappeared, and the warships in the harbor slowly sailed out to "hunt for the remnants of pirates" on the sea.

Powell, who had just been fished out of the sea, heard before he could speak:

"The captain caught a pirate remnant, this person actually wants to use the Holy See's military uniform to fool through, such a vicious pirate hangs him directly!"

Powell, who came to his senses, hurriedly shouted:

"Nope!

I'm not a pirate!

I'm not a pirate!

……”

However, the exhaustion of the body really couldn't break free from the shackles on the body, and the result of roaring filial piety was in exchange for a few big mouths.

The aristocratic officer at the head of the group slapped Powell while saying disdainfully: "After all pirates are caught, they will say that they are not pirates."

Such a little trick, I also want to make people in the lake.

Tell you this old boy, I said you are a pirate, you are a pirate, no! ”

With a "whoosh" of the rope, Powell was hung on the mast, and after two bounces, he went to see the Lord of the Dawn.

……

Good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles.

The news of the annihilation of the three major fleets of the Holy See soon spread throughout the continent, and everyone was shocked by the news.

The most direct impact is that the Five Grassland Kingdoms, which were originally busy bargaining, reached an agreement with the Alpha Kingdom at lightning speed.

On the Holy Mountain, Pius VII gritted his teeth and said:

"Impossible!"

"It can't be!"

……

"How can the three fleets be wiped out?"

"Even if you gather all the naval fleets of the Alpha Kingdom, they are not the opponents of the three major fleets!"

……

Roaring Xiao could not solve anything, and more and more evidence showed that the three major fleets had indeed been completely wiped out.

After Pius VII had calmed down, Ulise slowly spoke, "Your Majesty, the three fleets have all lost contact, and we are trying to find survivors.

According to the information from the Northern Continent Division, the Alpha Kingdom fleet had been dispatched in a big way five days ago in the name of exterminating pirates, and it has not returned to the port so far.

In addition, the fleet of the Kingdom of Hesse has recently shown signs of a major sortie. However, their fleet was only a short sortie, and only a few pirates were eliminated.

Our people have observed from a distance that the fleet of the Kingdom of Hesse has not suffered much loss, and it does not look like it has participated in a major war.

What's more, it's too late in time, and it's basically certain that it's not them who have joined forces with the Alpha to attack the three major fleets.

The intelligence services have already taken action, and we will be the first to hear as soon as the Arfa fleet returns. ”

This explanation obviously did not satisfy Pius VII, and before the three fleets headed north, everyone assured him in unison that the Alpha Navy was no match for their own fleet.

If he didn't have an absolute advantage, he wouldn't have sent his main fleet to someone else's doorstep to provoke and find excitement.

Well, now that political deterrence has failed, the Holy See has become a continent-wide joke.

If nothing else, this year's "tithe" income is likely to be cut in half.

Without the deterrence of naval fleets, those countries that do not border with the Holy See will not obediently buy it.

Anyway, there are not no tax-resistant countries on the mainland, and the Alpha Kingdom and the Frankish Kingdom are both clear banners, and there is not a single copper coin.

Several other large families also paid 1.8 million gold coins symbolically.

As soon as this incident comes out, several major countries will certainly further reduce the amount of "tithe" payment, and it is not impossible to directly refuse to pay it.

Small and medium-sized countries do not have the courage to directly resist taxes, but bargaining is still possible.

The Holy See is hostile from all sides, and in addition to the strife between theocracy and monarchy, there are also real interests.

Even the most devout believers will still be unhappy if they ask their families to pay taxes every day.

What's more, the nobles are not easy to fool, and they all know very well the difference between the Holy See and the Lord of the Dawn.

To fall into the grave for the Holy See is to save money for yourself.

Once these two are equated, the situation of the Holy See on the mainland will naturally not be too good.

"Hurry up and find out what is going on as soon as possible, I don't believe that the Alfa has the strength to eat the three fleets!

Now is the time of the continental war, and even if they can do it, they will suffer heavy losses.

Having lost too much power, what do they do to defend against an alien invasion? ”

Pius VII said angrily.

I didn't know that his people had divided their troops first, and the power that could destroy the three major fleets in the eyes of Pius VII was enough to affect the maritime pattern, and if he didn't understand the reason, he couldn't sleep well.

In contrast, the chain reaction caused by this, he can no longer care about so much.

Things have already happened, just wait to clean up the mess.

……

Beyond the Misty Seas, Hudson is leading the kingdom's fleet to "encircle and suppress the ghost ships".

There is fog to obstruct, and you can't see the specific target, anyway, if a ship is close to it, just bombard it with magic crystals.

"Your Excellency Marshal, this is the world of ghost ships, do the Holy See's fish that have slipped through the net really dare to enter it?"

The last few days have been like a dream for everyone. The awesome Holy See fleet was scrapped as soon as it entered the misty sea.

If it weren't for the repeated confirmation of the news, they would all suspect that they were in a state of panic.

"What do you think?

If the papal see's idiots hadn't run into the misty sea, they would have ended up where they are now.

Do you think that three ghost ships can wipe out the Holy See fleet in the outside world? ”

Virtual, real, real, virtual.

Even if Hudson personally led the battle, he must be able to bring everyone's thoughts into the ditch.

It doesn't matter if you're wrong, it's all speculation anyway. It just proves that the attack on the Holy See fleet has nothing to do with him Lord Hudson.

Although the fleet was his own, Hudson did not dare to guarantee that so many officers and men would be loyal to the kingdom and would not be bought by the Holy See.

As long as the army returns, it will be known to the Holy See about what happened along the way.

It doesn't matter if you expose the news that has fallen into the well. Whether there is evidence or not, the Holy See can guess.

With the relationship between the two sides, if the kingdom does not play a black hand, then there will be problems.

But Hudson could not afford to command the ghost ship and destroy the main force of the Holy See fleet.

If you want to deceive the enemy, first deceive your own people.

To make up for it, the Holy See fleet went deep into the sea of mist, suffered a sneak attack by the ghost ship and was almost completely annihilated, and the sense of the picture suddenly appeared, and the logic was also closed.

In an instant, the representatives of all parties broke out in a cold sweat.

Previously, everyone formed a team to encircle and suppress the ghost ship, and they were also preparing to go deep into the sea of mist.

It's just that the loss is too great, and everyone is steady, otherwise it will not only be the Holy See that is the tragedy now.

Almost instantly, everyone made a decision in their hearts, and the Misty Sea would be the forbidden area for the family in the future.

As for the problem of the ghost ship, when the other party came out, they formed a team to encircle and suppress it, and if they stayed inside, they should not have seen it.

The outside is in full swing, and the inside is also in full swing.

The papal personnel who went deep into the sea of mist, except for the ordinary sailors who drove the ships, the rest were masters.

The style of play against ordinary warships naturally does not play a role here.

The three ghost kings commanded the ghosts and kept throwing poisonous insects at the warship, but unfortunately they all failed except for the initial success.

Even went deep into the bottom of the sea to scuttle the ship, and before the ghost approached the warship, it was scrapped by the opponent's master.

It seems that a ghost is sneaking up, but in fact it is similar to giving away someone's head. There is no real meaning other than wasting the other party's physical strength.

If it weren't for the cover of the fog and the location of the ghost ship, I'm afraid they would have been beaten by the other party and fled in all directions.

Receiving the ghosts' request for help, Hudson was also very helpless.

Naturally, there are reinforcements, but he can't reveal his identity!

If the people of the Holy See want to come out of the misty seas, then there is nothing to say, just let the fleet concentrate its firepower on them.

Now that people are tossing inside the sea, they can only wait. Anyway, the other party has no supplies, and if it continues to be consumed like this, it will collapse sooner or later.

"Boss, these people are not easy to deal with, and the Lord only asks us to drag them down.

Anyway, they're lost now, so it's better for us to digest the previous harvest first, and then look for their bad luck. ”

The Ghost King in White suggested.

Constantly sending people to death, even the ghosts are physically and mentally exhausted. The outside world only knows that ghosts are immortal and indestructible, and in fact, ghosts also need energy to resurrect.

It can be endless, because they are causing killing to each other, and the energy generated by these killings is absorbed by the ghost ship.

In the past few days, the three ghost ships have been struggling and are in dire need of digesting the results.

Originally, I wanted to take down these high-quality blood food in one go. As it turned out, their strength was still not enough.

Even if the three of them went up in person, they couldn't stand up to each other's masters and besieged them.

"Then let them go for the time being, and when Lao Tzu finishes digesting the harvest, he will come to fight them again!"

After saying that, the three ghost kings directly turned the bow of the ship and left.

The ghost in battle does not need to be withdrawn, and when he dies in battle, he will return to the ship and be reborn.

Unless they encounter the realm of the powerhouses of the Holy Realm, these ghosts will not be able to escape the ghost ship for a long time. Even if you are captured by the other party, you will come back quickly.

The battle was over, but Hamodi was not happy at all. The fleet outside has been completely lost, and now it is completely unknown whether it is dead or alive.

Their team of encircling and suppressing the ghost ship found their target, but unfortunately the enemy was too slippery for them to grasp.

After a big battle, no effective results were achieved except for the elimination of groups of ghosts.

"Commander, something is wrong. Our sailors suffered too many casualties, and at the same time drove three warships to ......"

Hearing this, Hamodi was so angry that he vomited blood.

He never imagined that one day he would worry about the lack of lowly sailors.

There are a lot of masters on the ship, but to command everyone to do coolies, thinking about Hamodi feels a headache.

"The difficulties are only temporary, you should overcome them first.

Adjust the original two shifts, let some people go to the long shift, and wait until they get out of the foggy sea. ”

……

Two days later, the way back was not found, and the legendary Poison Dragon Island appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

Finally seeing land is undoubtedly a cause for celebration for these people who have been floating at sea for two months.

It's a pity that this is Poison Dragon Island, and there is nothing on the island except for poisonous insects and beasts.

There is no need to hope for supplies, even if you find a water source, everyone will not dare to drink it!

Of course, for some dark powerhouses who are cultivating in the wrong way, this place can also be regarded as a treasure.

Whether to go ashore to explore has become another difficult problem for Hamodi.

"Your Excellency, our supplies are running out, and we should find our way back as soon as possible.

What's more, the fleet is still waiting for us to go out to the rescue, too much time has been wasted here, and we can't explain the heavy losses of the fleet. ”

As soon as the white-haired pastor finished speaking, the black-robed old man on the side objected:

"I finally found Poison Dragon Island, how can I give up so easily.

According to the information we have gathered, it is possible that the artifact was brought to Poison Dragon Island by those traitors, and we can't explain it until we go back to find out! ”

Both sides had good reasons, and Hamody's head was foggy, and after hesitating for a moment, he ordered:

"Entering the island to explore for two days, whether there is a harvest or not, we must rush back to meet."

……

Waiting for the Holy See fleet to come out, Hudson also secretly complained to himself. It's been delayed for so long, and there are still a bunch of things waiting for him in the army.

But if he gave up this opportunity to weaken the Holy See, Hudson was not reconciled.

The group wiped out these masters, and the high-end power on the Holy See's surface was reduced by at least one percent.

"You guys wait outside, I'll go in first to see what's going on."

As soon as Hudson finished speaking, everyone hurriedly stopped: "Marshal, the sea of mist is too dangerous, it is better to ......"

It can be seen that everyone really cares about him.

The current situation in the Alpha Kingdom is indispensable to no one without him, the commander in chief.

Until the end of the Continental War, Hudson was the kingdom's most valuable asset.

In the event of an accident, it will be difficult to find a replacement in a short period of time, and it will be a disaster for the major forces of the kingdom.

"Don't worry, it's not too big. Even if you lose your way, you can fly out in any direction. ”

Hudson said steadyly.

Just fell into the ears of everyone, this is the thick Versailles.

The Sea of Mist, which covers an area of hundreds of thousands of square kilometers, is indeed not a big place for a dragon. But for the Terrans, it could be fatal at any time.

A dragon roar broke through the air, and Hudson once again descended into the misty seas.

The fog obscured his vision, but it could not obscure the dragon's vision, and Maxim navigated through the sea with ease, and soon found the location of the dragon island.

"There are three warships below, they should belong to the Holy See, do you want to destroy them?"

Hearing Bear Stearns' voice, Hudson almost doubted his ears.

Docked the ship on Poison Dragon Island again, is this the same as the Holy See's attributes?

Originally, he was still worried about how to kill these people, but now he doesn't need to think about it so much.

As long as these ships are killed, the probability that these guys on the island will leave alive is about zero.

"Bear Stearns, first check if the master on the ship has left, and then do it if there is no danger.

Notify the ghost ship to come, and they still need to come out and take the blame for this matter. ”

Hudson said cautiously.

In the face of the top forces of the Terran race, which has the oldest inheritance, no one knows how many hidden means the Holy See has.

For example: the Pope's exclusive Grand Prophecy.

This time it was enough for them to use special means.

Theoretically speaking, the fate line of the powerhouses of the Holy Realm cannot be seen by the Pope, but it is difficult to guarantee that people do not have the magic of time to go back.

Hidden a little deeper, even if the battlefield is restored, he can't be found on his Hudson master.

As for more precise predictions, it's not Hudson bragging, and the artifact in his hand isn't vegetarian.

You don't need to use it, just by carrying it on your body, you can mess up the fate line.

If not, the Holy See would not have been unable to find its own artifact for a long time.

……

In the Emerald Palace, Caesar IV, who received the good news, finally showed a smile that he had not seen for a long time.

Before the kingdom could be attacked, the people of the Holy See themselves had played themselves to death, and it felt like a mythical story.

The reports of several big nobles along the coast were all the same. The tragic destruction of the Holy See fleet was unanimously boiled down to the fact that the commander of the Holy See was too stupid.

The question of falling into the well was tacitly not mentioned by everyone.

It's all done by pirates, and it has nothing to do with the kingdom's army. The greatest responsibility of the kingdom is nothing more than the failure to rescue in time.

But this kind of thing can't be said, and no one knows that the Holy See fleet is so awesome that it will be wiped out!

"Knowing that in the misty sea, the magic crystal cannon can't play a role, he actually dared to take the fleet in.

It seems that the Holy See is really in decline, and any cat or dog can be in a high position! ”

Caesar IV couldn't help but sigh.

If the top brass of the Holy See are of this standard, then there is no need to worry. Without the kingdom's action, sooner or later they will play themselves to death.

Deep down, the idea of Caesar IV establishing another papacy was a little deeper.

"Your Majesty, the Holy See fleet has been completely wiped out, and I'm afraid the matter will not end so easily.

I can't help those guys in the Holy Mountain, they're crazy now. If they can't find the killers, who doesn't know what they did.

Since we didn't do it, there's no need to come out and pull hatred.

It's best to spread the information we have in our hands and let them settle accounts with the ghost ship! ”

Count Francis gloated.

The ending is so perfect now. What the kingdom wanted to do but couldn't do was done.

If it weren't for the ghost ship, it would also belong to a hostile force, and he would like to award a medal to the other party.

"Hmmm!

Find an opportunity to release the news so that everyone in the continent knows that the top brass of the Holy See is a bunch of cronyistic fools.

However, the threat of the Holy See is gone, but the pressure on our coast is increasing. The existence of the ghost ship is also a threat to the kingdom.

It's fine if the other party keeps cowering in the misty sea, but if they run away to the outside world and are active, it will be a big trouble.

That's a terrifying being that can destroy the Holy See's fleet! ”

Caesar IV said with mixed feelings.

It was not that he was worried about the losses of the coastal nobles, but the main thing was that in the next war, the kingdom would rely heavily on dried fish provided by the coastal provinces.
