Chapter 9: The Ghost Dead

"Let's go!"

With Hudson's order, the fleet slowly sailed out of port. As far as the eye can see, thousands of sails are fluttering without chaos.

The Coslow family attaches great importance to sea power, but the mainstream of this era is still the continental strategy, and most of the family's resources still flow to the army.

The huge fleet in front of him concentrated eighty percent of the ocean-going ships of the Alpha Empire, and even the fleets that were exiled after the fall of the Kingdom of Hesse were "invited" to join the team.

Embarking on the sea journey, the soldiers behaved very calmly.

In order to successfully complete this expedition, the expeditionary legion conducted a sea training between the Duchy of Snow Moon and the Mountain Domain.

For the first time, the continental race launched an attack on the Kingdom of God, and Hudson, the Terran marshal who led the team, gathered attention from all sides at the beginning of the expedition.

As the eyes of the outside world converged on the fleet, a ghost fleet quietly sailed away from the misty seas, serving as the vanguard of the expeditionary corps in the front.

The unknown is the most terrible enemy.

Pathfinding is the kind of thing that is best suited for immortal ghosts. Let these undead creatures fight against the demons, just to see who is more evil.

……

Destiny of God.

"The strategic supplies are almost stockpiled, and the next step is to launch a full-scale offensive.

Dear Grand Venerable Seyou, you have been in the continent of Aslant for the longest time and know the Terrans the most.

What are your thoughts on the next battle? ”

On the throne, a spherical monster that resembled it asked.

"Your Majesty, the continent of Aslant is now honored by the Terrans, and the enemy we have encountered is a powerful Terran empire.

Everyone has felt the battle ahead.

The individual combat effectiveness of the human race is not as good as that of our holy race, but they are extremely good at cooperating with each other, and their combat effectiveness immediately increases greatly after forming an army.

Now the people who are fighting with us are just ordinary human generals.

There is also a special existence in the Alpha Empire, this person is not only like a god, but also the strongest person in the continent.

After opening the seal, I fought with this person once, and suffered a lot of losses.

Once it drags on for a long time, replacing this as the coach, the Holy Clan will have to pay a lot of price if they want to win.

It's not peaceful in the Holy Realm, and we can't afford to lose too much military power here! ”

Sejou replied with a slight embarrassment.

The last time they met, it was completely his black history.

The subordinates who brought over to do things were all left on the battlefield, and they lost half of their bodies.

Fortunately, the situation of the Holy Clan is special, and it has no body in itself, and when it becomes an adult, it will choose to live in another living body, and the body can be replaced with another body when it is disabled.

These embarrassing things must not be described in detail, otherwise he will become a laughing stock.

As a strong man among the Holy Clan, in front of the younger generations, Seyou also wants to save face.

"Dazun, this is just a material plane, how can there be ......?"

Halfway through the words, the seven-clawed monster has begun to make up for it on its own: the perennial seal has caused Seyou's strength to be greatly reduced, and he was bumped into by Hudson and picked up the cheap.

"This world has given birth to gods, not the ordinary material plane you imagined. Now that the gods have fallen, the level of the world has not decreased.

The limit of the power that can be accommodated is not lower than that of the Holy Realm, and it may even be higher.

Our previous knowledge of the material plane does not apply here. The continent of Aslant alone has survived many terrifying existences.

Among them, the strongest is enough to compete with the top powerhouses of the Holy Clan.

It is said that there is also a dragon island overseas, where tens of thousands of dragons live. No one knows how many old antiques are in it.

Judging from the information gathered, the gods of this world have not really fallen, and their reincarnated bodies have begun to be active. ”

Seyou shook his head and said.

The "prison" was not made in vain, and the long years of being sealed wore out the arrogance of Seyou.

It turned out that the grumpy Holy Clan Venerable had now become cautious.

"Dazun is right, the level of this world is indeed very high, but they have just experienced a reincarnation and are in the weakest stage.

Order: Go down ......"

Before the order could be given, it was interrupted by the sound of fighting outside.

"Your Majesty, the enemy...... Enemy...... Night Raid Camp! ”

The news brought by the guards made the Holy King very angry. Immediately, he waved his sleeves and took all the high-ranking members of the Holy Clan out to check.

"Where's the ghost?"

The doubts in my heart didn't have time to be solved, and I heard a continuous sound of self-explosion.

The Holy Clan soldiers who participated in the siege were caught off guard and suffered heavy losses for a while.

"Catch it alive!"

With a mist full of minds, the Holy Clan King hurriedly ordered.

Generally speaking, this kind of collective suicide attack only happens when one party is cornered.

The Holy Army has come from afar, and the only enemies it has provoked are Terrans and Orcs.

It's the first time they've encountered a dark race like ghosts.

came to them for no reason, and no matter how you look at it, it is full of conspiracy.

The ghosts in front of me who blew themselves up were obviously dead.

What puzzled him was: The precious chess pieces of the dead have always been used at critical moments, who is willing to use them as cannon fodder!

Even if it can cause trouble to the Holy Army, it will not be worth the loss.

The cost of training dead soldiers is much higher than that of ordinary armies.

After all, it was still a step too late, and by the time the powerhouse of the Holy Clan made a move, the suicide attack had already ended.

Looking at the corpses all over the ground and listening to the wails of the soldiers, the face of the Holy Clan's king turned pale.

For the Holy Clan, they could bear the loss just now, but this kind of loss that even the enemy didn't know who the enemy was, it was unbearable.

"Who is on duty today, and why did you let the enemy infiltrate?"

The Holy Clan's angry question frightened the Holy Clan generals into trembling.

They know very well about the methods of their own king. When something like this happens, someone is bound to be unlucky.

"Your Majesty, tonight is Barrell in charge of the night.

In the battle just now, he was unfortunately killed!

In addition to Barre, a number of rotating generals were also killed. ”

A Holy Clan general replied apprehensively.

This kind of responsibility can only be borne by the dead Holy Family.

Even if Barrel hadn't been killed in battle just now, he had to be "killed in battle" now.

Among the Holy Clan, blood washes away the shame of defeat!

"Humph!"

"What are you doing in a daze, hurry up and collect the corpses and treat the wounded!"

As soon as the Holy Clan King's order was given, an explosion rang out again in the back camp.

Obviously, the enemy's suicide attacks are not over.

I just attacked the Chinese army camp, and I turned around and ran to the back camp to do something.

The sudden change made the originally angry Holy Clan King calm down all of a sudden.

The enemy has invested so much blood, and it will definitely not be purely for a sneak attack.

"Pass the order, the whole army is on strict alert, beware of another sneak attack by the enemy!"

At the same time as the order was given, the Holy Clan King had already secretly calculated it.

There are only two enemies of the Holy Clan on the mainland.

The remnants of the orcs, in the past few decades, have been plagued by the Alpha Empire.

The rest of the trash fish can only survive in the cracks. If they want to plan this kind of big operation, they don't have enough strength.

It is very difficult for the Terrans to manipulate the ghosts to kill themselves, but now the only one who has the motivation to attack them is the Alpha Empire.

After reaching his conclusion, a mocking smile appeared on the corner of the Holy King's mouth.

What is the first general in the mainland, it is clearly a straw bale!

Using the ghost dead as cannon fodder, even if it can bring them heavy losses, it is not worth the loss.

Even if it has to be used, it will have to wait until the critical moment of the war to send it out to do things!

Soon the smile on his face disappeared.

After the attack on the rear camp, the camp on the left flank was again attacked by ghosts.

As if endlessly, elusive ghosts were constantly wreaking havoc in the camp.

"Your Majesty, the enemy's target is most likely the teleportation array and dimensional passage!"

Seyou reminded.

Although I don't know where these ghost dead men came from, there must be a reason for such a big deal.

The enemy is willing to pay such a price, and only the teleportation array and plane passage can have the strategic value to match it.

"Let's go, let's go and guard it ourselves!"

The Holy Clan King immediately ordered.

The teleportation array is related to the safety of hundreds of thousands of troops on the front line, and the dimensional passage is even more related to the fate of the entire holy clan.

For this invasion, the Holy Clan also made a bloody investment.

Just by building the teleportation magic array, he emptied the relevant material inventory in the clan, and also purchased a batch from his neighbors at a great cost.

The consumption of other strategic materials is innumerable.

The current Destiny Divine Kingdom is now a big warehouse, gathering more than eighty percent of the family resources of the Holy Clan's royal court.

In addition to strategic materials, they have deployed half of the clan's troops.

Half of them are fighting fiercely on the mainland and in the eastern theater, and half of their troops are stationed in the kingdom of God, waiting for reinforcements to come over.

According to the plan, as long as the two armies converge, they could launch a full-scale attack on the Terrans.

After gaining a foothold on the prairie and being able to accommodate a large number of troops. They can then invite other Holy Nation nations to join in and jointly launch this invasion war.

The group hurried forward, not noticing their whereabouts in the slightest, and was watched by the eyes of heaven.

"Nothing happened, did it?"

The Holy Clan King Chong Shou asked.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, there are heavy guards here, and there are many Venerable Beings in the clan, and not a single fly can fly in!"

Hearing the exact answer, the Holy King's hanging heart suddenly relaxed.

If nothing happens, it means that the enemy has not discovered it.

Deep down, he secretly rejoiced: fortunately, the teleportation array was placed near the dimensional passage, and he only needed to deploy a heavy army to guard it.

……

"Let's go, today's mission is done!"

Hudson said calmly.

If it weren't for the Law of Fate going one step further and being able to cover up all traces, he wouldn't have ventured into the reconnoitre.

Facts have proved that the power of the law of fate is indeed powerful, and even the powerhouses of the third order of the Holy Domain cannot detect his whereabouts.

Deep down, Hudson's perception of the world has gone further.

Entering this world, the fate of these invaders is included in the rules of fate, and they are affected by fate everywhere.

These changes in front of us seem to be the plan of the gods, but who can guarantee that these are not part of the evolution of fate!

As long as these invaders are killed, they will become the nourishment of the world's growth.

If the world consciousness had wisdom, it would certainly not let go of such an opportunity.

"Hudson, among the enemy camps, I found thirty-seven powerhouses in the Sanctuary.

In the entire military camp, there may be as many as fifty or sixty hidden Sacred Domain powerhouses, and there are many of them who are the strongest.

In your expeditionary legion, there are only thirty-four Sacred Realm powerhouses.

The next duel between the strong can only be filled by the little guy of the eighth order.

In case the enemy ignores it and directly attacks the ships of the expeditionary corps, the picture ......"

Bear Stearns said with an unscrupulous face.

It was as if it was a very pleasant thing to watch Hudson eat deflated!

The whole continent is fighting, and most of the strong men of the human race are pinned down on the battlefield. Being able to mobilize so many Sacred Domain powerhouses to come over and participate in the war was already the result of the coordination of the Terran Alliance.

The Alpha Empire alone, in the case of war on all sides, has no way to draw so many strong people.

From this point of view, we also have to thank the three countries of China and the mainland for the quick collapse.

The alliance of the five nations will expire next year, and until then everyone will be allies. After the situation in the three countries of the Central Continent completely deteriorated, the three royal families directly chose to go into exile in the Alpha Empire.

The choice must be right, and in the face of such a bad thing, it is not wrong to ask allies to help restore the country.

As long as the Alpha Empire wants face, it can't end the alliance with them at a difficult moment. They must be kept until the restoration is completed.

Of course, in return, the remnants of the armed forces of the Three Kingdoms joined the battle camp of the Alpha Empire, including the surviving Sanctuary powerhouses.

"Don't worry, these ships have a good defensive magic array, not the crispy merchant ships you remember.

Even the Magic Crystal Cannon has been modified to hit targets with precision. Just look at the caliber, it's not those small guns of the army.

If they really dare to come over, believe it or not, a single salvo will be able to take away a few unlucky people.

When dawn comes, you'll know the power of these crystal cannons. I'm afraid that your bear skin can't withstand a few hits! ”

Hudson teased with a smile.

In the past few decades, he has not lived in vain.

There has been no rash political reform, but there has been no interruption in military and technological innovation.

The aristocracy of the Alpha Empire was conservative and never included military technology.

In recent decades, both the Empire and the Duchy of Snow Moon have invested heavily in military research and development.

The power of heavy artillery is beyond everyone's imagination. During the test launch, an abandoned military fortress in the empire was razed to the ground.

A salvo of eight magic crystal cannons on a large warship is more powerful than many forbidden spells.

The only drawback is that it is too bulky, and even after many modifications, the weight still starts at 30 tons.

On this basis, the second-generation heavy artillery built weighed 50 tons.

These big guys are destined to have no chance with the army, so they can only let the navy play.

The attack power has gone up, and the defense ability can only be passively upgraded.

Fortunately, there are a large number of magicians in the Principality of Snow Moon, and there is a large amount of labor available, so they directly copied the defensive formation of the magic tower.

On Hudson's flagship, not only twelve giant magic crystal cannons were deployed, but also a magic tower was built.

As a result, the ship's displacement jumped to 15,000 tons, making it the most powerful warship of our time.

The shipbuilding budget is naturally rising, and building a giant of this kind is enough to build six 5,000-ton warships.

Traditional wooden warships can no longer meet the needs.

Following Hudson's advice, a thick layer of iron steel was added to the outside of the warship.

In order to ensure the smooth carving of the magic circle, a variety of precious minerals, including Mithril, were added to the steel plate.

It cost a total of six million gold coins to build this big guy, which is equivalent to one-sixth of the Alpha Empire's financial revenue.

Even if Hudson wanted to continue, he would have to think twice in the face of high costs.

According to the Navy, the construction cost of the next Big Mac can be reduced by at least 1.5 million gold coins.

If a few more ships are built, the cost can continue to be pushed down, and it still can't convince the high-level of the Principality of Snow Moon.

Without building warships, six million gold coins were enough for the daily expenses of the principality's navy for four years.

Extravagant toys are enough to accompany the boss once to be willful. Tossing every day, no one can stand it.

If the leader was not Hudson, it is estimated that there would have been a lot of scolding in the court.
