The young king Justinian led an army to the front, and while victory was within reach, he suffered one setback after another. This tense situation brought him a huge pressure that ordinary people could not understand. Faced with an unknown and mysterious enemy, Justinian vented his anger before finally calming down.

Thinking about it for a while, the young king gritted his teeth and was about to give an order, when the golden-robed magician Narciss, who was beside him, suddenly spoke: "Bixia, I don't think this matter is simple, sending an ordinary warship to search for the enemy, I'm afraid it won't help." ”

Justinian nodded, he also understood that this mysterious sneak attacker was definitely not an ordinary enemy, otherwise he would not be able to hide silently under the strict search of the large fleet, and even continue to attack!

So after listening to the words of the golden-robed mage, he frowned and asked, "Does the master know who this enemy is?"

Narcisse replied with a deep groan, "Do you remember an incident that happened a few years ago?"

Justinian and Belisarius looked at each other and hesitated, "How many years ago......?"

"Just two years before the start of this war. The golden-robed mage nodded: "At that time, we learned from an ancient document that an abyssal sea dragon named Leviathan once haunted the area outside the Black Strait. It is recorded in the literature that this is an extremely rare and powerful magical beast, although it is only ordinary on land, but it has even surpassed the lethality of dragons in the sea, and once caused great damage in the southwest of the Black Sea. ”

"That's right!" the young king quickly recalled, "and then we learned by chance the exact location of the sea dragon's dormancy. So the three of us personally led the army to surround his lair, on the one hand, to prevent this sea dragon from waking up and continue to do evil, and on the other hand, hoping to subdue this powerful demonic beast to strengthen our navy. As a result, with the blessing of the God of Light, our Jihua succeeded. This dormant beast thought that he could sleep peacefully with the barrier he had set up, but he didn't expect that the barrier would be broken by the powerful magic scroll bestowed by the crown of the universal patriarch! ”

At this point, Justinian came to his senses and hurriedly asked, "So, do you suspect that our enemy this time is the sea dragon?"

Narcisse sighed: "Bixia, don't you know, at the beginning, this sea dragon thought that we would really lift the seal for him after the battle, and he did serve us with all his heart, sinking and injuring many Pera warships and transport ships, helping us gain sea supremacy. But then he disappeared suddenly, and it's been a few months now!"

"What! The sea dragon is missing?"

After listening to the golden-robed mage's words, Justinian and Belisarius couldn't help but be taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "What the hell is going on, have you found out the reason?"

Narcissus shook his head: "This sea dragon Leviathan has always been a loner, and although he is willing to assist us in attacking the enemy, he will not participate in collective action. I'm not happy with this attitude, but because he has a good record, I don't want to discipline him too much for the time being. So all along, he has been in a semi-independent state, and it is up to him to decide when to attack and when to retreat according to the situation. One day a few months ago, he informed us that he would go to the route from Thessaly to Pera to intercept enemy ships, but there was no reply. These monsters behave strangely and have strange habits, so I didn't pay much attention to it at first. Now it seems that I made a mistake in the first place, and he may have turned to Pera instead!"

"In this way, the way the enemy attacked us this time is indeed very similar to that of the Abyss Sea Dragon. The young king frowned when he heard this: "But if the Leviathan has turned to Pella, why hasn't their fleet made a big counterattack so far, but has always been at a disadvantage?"

The golden-robed mage thought for a moment and replied, "It's not very clear, maybe they are plotting something in Jihua, so as not to startle the snake, so they deliberately show weakness!"

Then Belisarius interjected worriedly, "Leviathan suddenly turned to Pella, maybe Pella restored his magic powers! When we trapped this abyssal sea dragon in the lair, the three of us worked together to subdue him, and now that he is back in the middle of the sea, he is elusive and powerful, and our fleet is probably no match for him!"

"There's no need to worry too much about that. "Since his disappearance," Narsis comforted, "Although our superiority at sea is not as good as before, the strength of Pera's fleet has not increased much. I suspect that the sea dragon has not regained its magic, and there may have been another reason for its decision to join Pera. Otherwise, the Pera fleet has an abyssal sea dragon of such strength that there is no need to sneak up on us like now. ”

The young king finally felt a little relieved after listening to the golden-robed mage's words. Then he asked, "Since the other party is likely to be the Abyssal Sea Dragon, how should we deal with it?"

Belisarius advised: "This Leviathan is haunted by the sea, and it is very difficult to deal with. If you concentrate your forces, it will be difficult to find the opponent on such a wide sea, but once you disperse and search in all directions, it is easy to be broken by the opponent. I think that instead of wasting a lot of effort to encircle and suppress him, it is better to shrink his forces and defend tightly, so that he will not be able to know where to start and retreat. ”

Justinian pinched his chin and thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Although it is safe to do this, it will demoralize our army." If this news spreads, my Nicaean fleet will be afraid of a sea dragon that has lost its magical power, and will not even dare to take revenge for the destruction of two warships, and will be willing to be a turtle with a shrunken head. Just imagine, who will take us seriously in the future?"

The king's words also made sense, and the field marshal had to keep his mouth shut
