The black pile of dead leaves began to tremble, and Hermione, who was standing on the branch, breathed a sigh of relief and jumped down.
"Get up quickly, there will be no threat."
"Ms. Austin, we met again and made you laugh."
Silvester stood up from inside, his face was in a mess, his clothes were in tatters, and his spirit was a little tired.
"There are still two companions who don't know what's going on. We need to go look for them."
"No need to look for it. One is dead, but the one with bronze skin is still alive."
Hermione directly tied up a person and brought him a lifeless corpse, both of which were Sequence 7 strengths.
"What a shame, there are still three of them here, and I really can't do anything!"
Cordis carefully examined the dead man and took out a bone with fine lines on it, with a look of hatred and helplessness on his face.
The deceased was a typical Ma Xi man with brown and black hair, and should have been his companion.
"Already gone, use the magic scroll that has been prepared for transmission."
Hermione sensed the fluctuations in the distance, and she could intercept them, but that would break the agreement between the saints. She was not afraid, as the people on the island were very fragile.
"We can't let this guy get caught. He can't go back anyway, so just die!"
Cordis became angry and punched and kicked the man in a mask and robe who was tied up by Hermione, and shot him in the head with a gun.
When he discovered that the tattered mask turned out to be a ball of green flames, he couldn't help shouting to the sky, waking up his bronze aboriginal companion.
"This is a spiritual creature created by them using magic rituals related to the Death Sequence. It has died and cannot die again."
No wonder this guy dared to roar at me, he probably didn't have much instinct.
Hermione directly held the green flame and extinguished it, erasing the mark of the spirit world at the same time.
"Hiamsi, my good friend, may you rest in peace."
The bronze-skinned aboriginal hugged the corpse and Cordis, and then introduced himself to Hermione. His name was Wayne Fern, and he was the son of the patriarch of the Fern family of the Bafken tribe.
The purpose of coming here this time was to help Cordis persuade the volcano people of the Puer tribe to join the resistance. Unexpectedly, the three people who returned happily were ambushed and almost died here.
Although the rescue signal was sent, there was no response. The other party was obviously prepared.
"Thank you for your life-saving grace. Welcome to the Bafken tribe as a guest."
Wayne Fern used their peculiar etiquette to solemnly thank Hermione, and those who didn't know would beat their chests and prepare to fight.
"Well, let's go back first. We will need you later. I have brought all the supplies for this period."
"I will help Bastian secure this place, don't worry."
Cordis prayed to the God of Knowledge and Wisdom over the corpse of his companion, and then led the way away carrying the corpse.
Hermione helped him seal the extracted characteristics, which were a Keeper's characteristics.
"How do you plan to deal with the current situation? Roen's armored ship is in the offshore waters of the northwest. You can come here directly at any time. I want to know what you have given me?"
On the way, Hermione asked him directly about his current situation. Since he decided to help them, he should do it!
There should be flowers blooming in the scorching sun on the top of the extinct volcano. It is the best place to face the sun. After finishing my work, I could just tell the Puer tribe about my things.
The land above has probably become their holy land. If I were in the past, I would definitely take it away. They wouldn't know who did it when they look at it later.
Cordis was stunned for a moment, obviously not yet recovered from the sadness, and thought for a moment.
"Roen's ironclad ship is actually targeting South Olit State, which was the former richest colony of Fusac in East Balam.
There are high-quality iron ores and other rare metals. The agricultural food above can feed the population of the colony and can also be dumped outside.
Intis knew that he could not fight against Loen, so he directly roped in Fenebaud, so that they had the capital to fight against Loen.
The major churches directly chose neutrality to eliminate the followers of the evil god and convert the people above them, which made these struggles full of variables.
The regular naval fleets of Intis and Fenebaud are actually in the southwestern waters, alert to Roen's support, instead of us facing these second-rate fleets.
The war situation on land is what affects the armored ships' southward movement. If the situation does not change, our victory will come when the ironclad ships cross the south center line."
The South Center Line is the protruding middle line on the east side of the Southern Continent, dividing the Southern Continent into north and south areas, and Connot Island is almost a little above it to the east.
Cordis continued to express his opinion, "We just want a transit port so that we can grasp a route. For Roen, the ports on the western coast are enough.
There is no possibility of us being hostile, and of course they don't want to be too many, so just hold on."
Hermione nodded, as long as she could analyze it calmly. After all, they didn't want to be slapped with a fortune every time they passed by.
"Actually, your navy can't defeat them at all. That's why you don't show off!"
"Does our navy count? Even if we include Sehgal and the navy of the Lemberg Mutual Defense Agreement, they are not enough to fight the navy of Feneport.
Otherwise, we don't have to fight so hard now, as the flagships of the mixed fleets outside are all here.
If they attack desperately, the defensive positions in our port will all be destroyed by the artillery above, but they will not sacrifice too much power in the key point of the Loen duel. Most of them will use those insignificant cannon fodder.
Now I just hope that the tribes can defend the coastline to prevent too many enemies from sneaking up, or prepare in advance.
Counting the tribal defenders, there are only over 15,000 defenders, most of whom can make up the numbers. It is already very good to be able to defend the port and food supply lines."
It was indeed not easy, and Hermione thought that Cordis had done a very good job.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "How do you unite everyone, or recognize and teach them?"
"It's simple, let them be people like us. Respect their region and folklore.
And on the opposite side, Intis and Fenebaud, Roen didn't treat them as human beings. The losing side was forced to become captives by the natives they supported to dig mines and plantations.
You know how bad the environment there is, and people can't live long at all. Thanks to their high pressure, we can gather the entire islanders.
Of course, this was not enough to make them fight hard, so we allocated all the land except the port area and defensive fortress points to the tribes in various places.
Recognizing their legitimate rule and obtaining equal citizenship among the countries of common defense is the recognition of our church.
As long as they don't engage in evil sacrifices and we respect their folk customs, conversion can take place slowly.
Isn't it ironic that they are now defending their land, which was originally theirs."
Cordis laughed at himself, and Wayne Fern next to him was also a little angry. These outsiders relied on their own force to kill their compatriots, and they had to choose a way to protect themselves.
"Then we signed a sacred oath of equality under the witness of our respective gods, and everyone believed in us.
Seeing that there is no hope of returning to Fusac's remaining armed forces, if captured, they may be sold to slave owners in the mining area and wander directly on the island.
We gave them the status of island citizens. After the war, they can leave or stay, and they will also receive a share of land."
Several people have already seen the port burning in the distance, and there are obvious traces of the smoke rising up. Thanks to the strengthening of the body by the extraordinary people, a lot of time has been saved.
"You are really good. It must have taken a lot of effort to unite all the forces on the island."
"I hope all this is not in vain, I hope I can fulfill my promise."
"You have to do it. Your idea is already very good. If there is no chance, create your own chance."
There are iron wires and wooden frames near the outside of the port city. There are deep trenches inside, and behind there are some obviously scattered highlands scattered in regular intervals.
It should be a supporting artillery position, but there are no guns inside. Is it hidden? Or is it a camouflage and decoy?
Those new artillery pieces should be stored in the bare mountain position next to the port, where they can directly suppress the large sea area in front.
It will also be the place where sailing artillery attacks, and range and rate of fire are very important here.
There should be two or three matching old-fashioned artillery positions. It is impossible to rely on these few alone. Everyone has a tacit understanding not to destroy those docks.
I hope Cordis can make a decision. The critical moment is coming, and the armored ship heading south is the best signal.
