Chapter 414 Rainy Night Attack
On the sea, bathed in the summer sun, the sacred banner fluttered in the wind.

The last time the three major fleets acted together was the anti-Holy See movement in the mainland 300 years ago.In the end, although it ended in failure, the epic retreat of the Holy See was completed.

"The Alpha people didn't even have a symbolic interception. It seems that the death of Caesar III also took away their courage."

Fourth Fleet Commander Harmodi said mockingly.

If you can't keep your own sphere of influence, you will naturally not be able to gain everyone's respect.Especially the current practice of ignoring and letting them in is a sign of weakness.

International struggles are very delicate. The weaker you are, the easier it is to expose your own reality, and the more the opponent will push forward.

"Hammodi, don't take it lightly.

If the Alphas give in so easily, we don't need us to go north.

Didn't you see people coming? "

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

……

"Hello, three commanders, on behalf of the Alpha Kingdom, I welcome you all.

This is a map of the Misty Sea.I hope that the three can lead the army to quell the disaster of the ghost ship as soon as possible, and restore peace to the sea area.

Bing on the battlefield is very expensive, so I won't bother the three of you. "

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

Harmodi was so angry that he was only held back by the two people beside him.

The two countries did not kill their envoys when they were at war. Now that they have not yet entered a state of war, how can they attack their envoys.

It is not 300 years ago now, and the Holy See cannot casually label someone a heretic and then send them to the grill.

Facing nobles from all over the world, the Holy See also had to abide by new rules of the game.

"What are you pulling me for? This person is so arrogant, don't give him some strength..."

Before he finished speaking, Moses, the commander of the First Fleet, interrupted: "That's enough, Harmodi, 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 greet you sincerely?

If you moved your hand just now, the other party would dare to die for you.After the Human Race Alliance pursues it, the people above may not protect you to death! "

The commander of the fleet is not a high position in the Holy See, and none of the high-ranking Holy See on the holy mountain is from the navy.

This is determined by tradition.Before the development of the navy, the upper position was carved up, and as a latecomer, it is natural not to rush in.

The action of this labor expedition, in Moses' view, is an opportunity to prove the value of the navy.

It is absolutely unacceptable to ruin the navy's plan for some trivial matter.

"Moses, it's not that I'm looking for trouble, the main reason is that the other party is bullying too much.

What do we want to do, how can we listen to outsiders' orders?
Sending a set of sea charts, is it possible that we don't even know the information of the misty sea area, so we need them to help? "

Harmodi couldn't help complaining.

The impulsiveness of the performance does not mean that he is really stupid.

Although the Holy See is a relational society, it also needs to test its ability.If he was a good-for-nothing idiot, he wouldn't be able to get the position of fleet commander.

The performance just now seemed reckless, so why is it not necessary for human design?

It is not only for the Alpha people, but also for the boss of the family, and it is politically correct to maintain the dignity of the Holy See.

If you really want to make a move, how can you be held back by your companions at such a short distance.

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

According to the information from the Holy Mountain, the Eastern Warhammer Kingdom's front is on the verge of collapse, and the attention of the Alpha people has probably been attracted to it.

In a short period of time, I am afraid that the coastal areas will not be taken care of.

There is nothing we can do about it on the bright side, so naturally we have to play in the dark.The sea of ​​mist is known as the ten most dangerous places in the mainland, and the ships entering it can't be said to be close to death, at least seven or eight out of ten will be damaged.

Now that there are still ghost ships hiding in it, the danger is even greater.

The Alpha people clearly want to borrow a knife to kill people, and now it depends on whether the knife they borrowed is sharp enough. "

Moses sneered.

Everyone in the continent is well aware of the dangers of the sea of ​​mist, but they have reasons to enter.

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

The most important thing is the news of the artifact.

The treasure hunting team disappeared in the misty sea area, suspected to be the black hand of the Alpha people, but the issue of the artifact has not yet been settled.

Was the Alpha man responsible for the treasure hunting team before they entered Dulong Island, or the current black hand after returning, or was it an accident that happened to the treasure hunting team in the process of searching for the artifact.

The Holy See must clarify these uncertain issues.

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

Glancing at the chart, he found that it was the most widely circulated version in the mainland, and Moses shook his head secretly.

The behavior of the Alpha people is too stingy, if you want to play with borrowing a knife to kill someone, you have to give me a detailed version of the sea chart!
However, considering the particularity of the misty sea area, it seems that an approximate location is enough. Anyway, no matter where you enter from, it will be a cloud of fog.

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

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

Obviously, this is a distrust of the Alpha Kingdom, and they are always vigilant.

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

……

In the royal capital, Marshal Hudson, who is paying close attention to military affairs, is about to ask King Caesar IV for leave again.

Similar leave of absence occurs 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 one day off every ten days makes it really difficult for a family like Master Hudson to live far away.

As a good man who takes care of his family, Hudson strictly implemented the system of five days off and five days off after the army training became regular.

Occasional delays are inevitable.

After all, he had to deal with the affairs of the kingdom, and he also had to worry about the affairs of the territory.

This is the advantage of the dragon knight. If other nobles travel back and forth between the two places so frequently, they will exhaust the monsters to death.

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

After hearing what the guard said, Hudson knew it was time to start again.

If the Kingdom wants to attack the Holy See fleet, how can it miss him as its commander?
It's not that Hudson boasted. Without him, even if the Holy See fleet suffered heavy losses, the great nobles in the coastal provinces might not really dare to make trouble.

This is determined by the age of those in power.It seems that the governors of all provinces are in the prime of life, but in fact many of them are pregnant with great-grandchildren.

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

Life expectancy is short, so what does that have to do with those in power?
As long as the children of the great aristocrats are talented enough, and there are no accidents along the way, they can easily live to 80 or [-] years old.

Normal power changes are often after the heir's temper has been ground into a veteran in the political arena, usually after the age of four or fifty.

Shou Jiangshan's age is the best, and all his abilities and prestige have been tempered.Neither will he fall into twilight due to lack of energy, nor will he act impulsively when he is young.

"Send this document to the palace."

Hudson said lightly.

Once the training is on the right track, there won't be much to do with him as a marshal.Except for the occasional spot check on the training situation, the rest of the time is spent fishing.

For the officers below, the current training is not only training, but also their fame, wealth and life.

At the beginning, Hudson was still supervising carefully. Later, when it was discovered that he was there, everyone trained very hard, so they simply didn't bother to care.

There are few military affairs, so asking the king for leave is naturally going through the motions, proving that he respects the king.

As for whether Caesar IV approved it, anyway, Hudson would leave the royal capital before the letter arrived at the palace, and it would be too late to chase him back.

……

"This is the Sea of ​​Misty, and it is just as it is in the legend.

If there is no expert to accompany it, once an ordinary ship goes deep into it, it may be really difficult to find its way!
The area of ​​the misty sea is not small. Whether it is searching for a ghost ship or searching for the poisonous dragon island, it cannot be completed in a day or two.

The inside was shrouded in fog, and many of the weapons and equipment on the ship were useless. Ordinary soldiers might not be able to help if they followed them in.

This battle is not easy to fight! "

Harmodi frowned.

The magic crystal cannon is useless, and ordinary soldiers fighting ghosts are purely killing people.

In case the fleet suffers heavy losses due to the encirclement and suppression of the ghost ship, they will not be able to explain it when they go back.

"If the battle is easy to fight, it will not be our turn.

There are quite a few people who are concerned about the core of the ghost ship. The Alpha people have assembled a fleet along the coast, but in the end they chose to give up. The danger can be imagined.

The armament on board is unusable.

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 outside and send experts to search for traces of the ghost ship. After solving these guys, we can rest assured to look for Poison Dragon Island. "

Moses said slowly.

Leaving the fleet outside is also fraught with risks.In case the Alphas attack them, when the troops are divided, it is the best time for the opponent to make a move.

Although the three major fleets combined are stronger than the entire naval power of the Alpha Kingdom, it is not just the fleet that affects the outcome of the war.

Gathering more eighth-level masters, or mobilizing air power, can help in the battle.

"Send a few ships over there, light the ghost lamp to test it out, and try to lure the ghost ship first.

If these guys are brought out, the next battle will be less worrying. "

The commander of the Second Fleet on the side suggested.

"it is good!"

……

A few worthless supply ships were honored to take over this cannon fodder task, slowly wandering around the edge of the fog.

This scene happened to be captured by Hudson who flew from the sky.

With such poor acting skills, I also want to lure out my own ghost ship, so I am not afraid of wasting time and losing troops.

As soon as the mocking expression was revealed, reality began to hit his face, and Hudson clearly sensed that the ghost ship was approaching here.

"Spiritual Lamp!"

After recognizing the source of the mysterious black smoke, Hudson's face changed drastically.

This thing is not a good product.

According to ancient records, the spirit lamp is a sacred object of a cult in ancient times, and once lit, it is very attractive to the soul.

The more souls devoured, the more powerful the lamp will be.

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

How it is made, Hudson does not know, anyway, the fuel is corpse oil.

The Holy See took all these things out, no wonder it dared to announce to the outside world that it would 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 rushed out to greet them.

"I have met the Lord! I don't know..."

Before the leader of the ghost king could finish speaking, Hudson interrupted: "Stop advancing immediately, and turn to enter Dulong Island to collect poison!"

The poisonous dragon island is full of poisonous insects, a proper place where strangers should not enter, but ghosts are obviously not included in it.

Unless it is a toxin that acts on the soul, it has no effect on these spirit bodies.

"Yes!"

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

……

On the periphery of the sea of ​​mist, the smoke from the burning lamp made everyone on the ship feel ecstatic, but there was still no shadow of the ghost ship, and the faces of the three fleet commanders also turned ugly.

"Perhaps the ghost ship is too far away to sense the situation here, so send someone to turn off the ghost lamp!

That thing is too evil, if it continues to burn, there may be no living people on the few boats sent out. "

Harmodi said with a solemn expression.

An evil weapon is an evil weapon after all, even an evil weapon that targets spirit bodies like the Spirit Lamp can have a great influence on ordinary people.

In such a short time, the soldiers on board lost their minds.

This is lucky, if the ghost ship really comes, I am afraid none of them will survive.

"Temptation is not enough, then divide the troops directly!
Our strength has not been compromised, and the Alpha people should not dare to act rashly.

With the spirit lamp, even if the ghost ship came out from behind, it would not be able to threaten the fleet. "

Moses said without changing his expression.

There is no proposal to let the masters who hunt ghost ships carry ghost lamps. It's not that the things are not easy to use, it's purely because the side effects are too great.

Losing one's mind is one aspect, the key is that after absorbing the smoke from the spirit lamp, it will seriously affect the longevity.

If he dared to issue such an order, it is estimated that the masters accompanying the ship would turn against him one after another.

……

Above the clouds, Maxim eagerly suggested: "Hudson, do you want me to cast a forbidden spell on them to destroy the evil weapon below?"

Hearing this proposal, Hudson rolled his eyes directly.Playing like this is not a sneak attack, it is clearly a direct declaration of war on the Holy See.

In the entire continent of Aslant, only Maxim, a red dragon, was active outside, and he couldn't find the blame for the dragon, and the dragon knight was responsible for the trouble caused by the dragon.

When fighting the Holy See head-on, Hudson said that he is not crazy yet.

"What's the rush, wait until the ghosts have collected enough poison, and then we can settle the score.

Isn't it just a spirit lamp, so they have to have time to light it.

What's more, here is the sea, and the wind and waves have extinguished the lights, which is also reasonable! "

Patience, Hudson is the most indispensable.

If the Holy See and his party do not divide their troops, he can only let the ghost ship hang around in the sea of ​​mist.

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

Having personally verified the strength of the ghost ship, Hudson knows very well that these people cannot destroy the ghost ship.

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

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

People die at the hands of ghosts, no matter how heavy the loss is, the Holy See has no choice but to admit it.

Without this fleet, the group of Holy See masters after entering the mist would become meat on the chopping board.

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 has to be night to do evil!

If you are blind, go to the sea and take a bath, the wind and waves you stir up can capsize the boat. "

Bear Stearns on the side made up for it decisively.

There was a slight change in the dark seabed, and it was impossible to see clearly.All kinds of accidents can happen in the vast sea, and it is nothing new for a sea monster to emerge.

No matter how rich the Holy See's associations are, it is difficult to directly pin the suspicion on Maxim.

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

……

The weather on the sea changed as it said, and when the night was about to fall, the storm swept in first.

The tumbling waves kept beating the ship, as if trying to swallow the fleet staying on the sea.The left-behind fleet commander, Moxis, showed his due qualities.

"Send the order to activate the defensive magic circle immediately!
Keep distance between adjacent warships to prevent collisions..."

……

In the distance, the three ghost ships that returned with a full load slowly sailed out of the misty sea after avoiding the search team of the Holy See.

"Just stop here, don't go up to meet the enemy, you can fly!

Let the ghosts throw the poisonous insects they collected onto these warships respectively.Remember to be quiet and try not to be discovered by others. "

Hudson sternly warned.

"Yes, my lord!"

From the depressed expressions of all the ghosts, it can be seen how much they resisted this order, but there were three ghost kings suppressing them, and they had to carry out the order.

Frankly speaking, he really doesn't understand why the ghost ship chooses to fight on board every time it comes out to rob.

How perfect it is to stay away from the enemy's firepower and directly let the "Apiaos" go to sneak attack!
No wonder the number of ghost ships is small. It is purely that these guys have the attribute of death in their bones. They have been dead for many years and insist on thinking that they are still alive.

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