"Let's talk about the Nidhogg." Ringer changed the subject: "Every time we learn more about a mecha, our chances of winning against the Witch Society will be greater. Your understanding of it should not be limited to
A name, Gloria?"
"you guessed right."
The pirate lady leaned on the back of her chair. After wiping the fire blunderbuss, she began to wipe her thin sword with a gold cage-like guard. She said slowly: "After all, the person who faced it head-on at that time was mainly Glenn."
The Dogs of Solomon led by us, small players like us, can only provide cover on the outside."
"Solomon's Dog?" Ringer was very sensitive to this name: "What does it have to do with the Thirteen Hermits?"
The Thirteen Hermits is a secret alliance dedicated to resisting the rule of the Witch Association. Its members include but are not limited to magic associations such as the Truth Society, Fertile Earth Sect, and Silver Moon. The initiator is Solomon, who is both the leader of the Truth Society and the
He was once a philosopher of the Witches' Guild, but later he was dissatisfied with the Witches' Guild's attempt to replace the magic system with a magical system, so he chose to betray him and made the information about the Witches' Guild known to the public. Only then did the mysterious world learn of the existence of this ancient organization.
It can be said that Solomon was also a figure who stood at a critical juncture in history.
But this time, it had nothing to do with him.
"Glenn Solomon is the orphan of the Solomon family in the Kingdom of Si'e. After escaping from death on the night of the destruction of his family, he fled to the distant stormy sea and established the Solomon's Dog pirate group. At first, he was unknown and almost no one knew about him.
Who is he? However, when the Colonial War started, the fleet transporting supplies to the Western Allied Forces was robbed wildly by Solomon's Dogs. For a time, the logistics line of the Allied Forces was broken and the front line fell into a stalemate. Later, the Allied Forces dispatched several fleets.
He surrounded and suppressed the Dogs of Solomon, but he escaped and even sunk several warships, which greatly weakened the maritime power of the coalition. If the Alliance of Orders had not increased their investment in overseas battlefields in time, the Silent War would have almost ended.
was rewritten.”
"After this battle, Solomon's Dog became famous, and Glenn Solomon became a great pirate who traveled all over the world. His reputation was more famous than Captain Drake and Whitebeard in the Age of Sail. Later, the Eastern Continent
When the regime secretly funded major pirate groups to attack the Western Continent's maritime power on all four seas, Glenn Solomon was the most active, and therefore the most feared by the Western Continent Alliance."
Gloria raised the polished sword blade to her eyes, and an elegant cold light flashed on the snow-white blade: "Basically, it's as fast as you want to get rid of it."
"The Kingdom of Si'er?" Linge wondered: "Isn't that an ancient kingdom located between the Sunia Peninsula and the Eshold Islands? In this case, Glenn Solomon is still a native of the Western Continent, so why should he assist the Eastern Continent?
Where is the government?"
"You are mistaken. Glenn Solomon has never had any intention of assisting the Eastern Continent. He has only unilaterally confronted several maritime powers in the Western Continent, including but not limited to the Great Kingdom of Britta and the Great Mindelias.
The Empire, the White City-State Republic, the Knights of Raisenwell, the Kingdom of Metosh...and the Kingdom of Si'er."
The names that came out of Gloria's mouth covered almost all the powerful countries in the Western Continent, which made Ringer even more confused. Where did Glenn Solomon have the confidence to confront these countries? And why he did this: "He and these countries
The country has a grudge?”
Even his own country.
"Of course, apart from hatred, there is no other factor that can make a Sequence 2 True God strongman carry out revenge at all costs." The corner of Gloria's mouth curled up slightly: "If we want to discuss this issue, we have to go back to
The colonial era has developed. As we all know, the Kingdom of Great Brita won the Silent War and established the overseas colony O'Shea. The benefits gained made the countries in the Western Continent jealous, and a wave of colonization was set off. However, at this time, various countries
We have to face a problem, that is, there is a vast and dangerous sea of storms between the east and west continents, endless seas and chaotic seas, whirlpools, reefs, sea beasts and other threats emerge in endlessly. Although the navigation technology of the West Continent is advanced, sea navigation still requires
Taking huge risks. During the Silent War, the Kingdom of Great Brita successively sent about 50,000 troops and 500 battleships to the Eastern Continent as support, but more than 10,000 soldiers and 50 battleships were damaged at sea.
The damage in the storm of sailing was even more severe than the damage on the battlefield."
"Overly long routes often bring unnecessary losses. For this reason, it is necessary to establish a stable maritime base as a transfer station. At the same time, some landlocked countries that want to join the colonial wave lack high-quality seaside ports.
We must find ways to make up for it from the outside. There are indeed natural sea bases in the coastal areas of the Western Continent, with superior geographical location and rich port conditions, which are very suitable for the preparation and docking of large fleets. Columbus and Magellan's ocean-going, "Mayflower" ship
Teams going to sea have all transited here, and there is——"
Miss Pirate paused here deliberately, and Ringer had already guessed the answer: "Sonia Peninsula and Eshold Islands?"
"That's right." Gloria chuckled: "I don't need to say more about the story that follows. You who study history should know better."
Ringer was silent. He did know something about this period of history, so he naturally knew what happened next.
These two islands were formed due to the movement of tectonic plates that split the continent. Their combined area is about half the size of the Kingdom of Great Brita. They have many natural deep-water ports and multiple islands scattered along the safe route to the eastern mainland.
The waterway is a must-have for ships coming and going. The Sonia Islands are relatively remote, so the development of civilization is relatively backward, and they are still in the primitive city-state system. The Eishold Island Group was moved here from the mainland as early as before AD.
The criminals, poor people, bankrupt businessmen and down-and-out nobles brought civilized knowledge, and together with the local indigenous people, they established the feudal autocratic monarchy of Si'e Kingdom, which closed the country and did not communicate with the outside world. Although it has an ancient history, it is limited by population.
National strength is not strong due to various factors such as resources and land.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Such a weak person sitting on the greatest wealth and holding the key to the colonial era will naturally attract the covetousness of many people.
On April 30, 1570, the Mindelias Empire sent troops to the Kingdom of Si'e in the name of exterminating pirates. Then the famous "Battle of Wugui Cliff" broke out. The Kingdom of Si'e was defeated and forced to
Signing a treaty with Mindrias, ceding land, and allowing the empire to successfully obtain the coveted natural port and sea base.
Starting from this, the next fifty years will be the fifty years when the Sonia Islands and the Eishold Island Group were invaded by the three great powers of the Mindlias Empire, the Great Brita Kingdom, and the White City Republic.
It divided more than 90% of the territory of the Kingdom of Si'E with the other five medium-sized countries, and signed the so-called "Peaceful Development and Non-Aggression Treaty" with the Kingdom of Si'E. History called it the "Nine-Nation Alliance".
The kingdom was forced to survive on the remaining territory.
As for the Sunia Peninsula, which did not form a unified political power, it is even more miserable. It was carved up by small inland countries that were interested in participating in colonial struggles. The names of the invaders were engraved on every coastal port and dock. They burned forests to reclaim wasteland and built buildings.
However, the local residents had no choice but to retreat into the depths of the jungle, and with the secret support of some foreign forces, they established the "Suniya Guerrilla Force", hoping to expel the invaders and restore their own land.
This is not a glorious history. Therefore, when scholars who study this period of history discuss this period, they will always mention a sentence from the lecture given by the famous historian Ranke at the Royal Academy of History in Minsulia.
Speech on: "Colonial war is first and foremost an internal war."
It is not only a war for profit distribution, but also a war for qualifications. Countries that do not even have high-quality ports are not worthy of participating in this colonial game of overseas expansion. For example, the Sonia Peninsula and the Eshold Islands are not part of the game.
Participants are just chips on the card table.
"I heard," Linge recalled a little anecdote that was not recorded in the history books, but was heard from his mentor: "Before Mindelias launched an invasion of the Kingdom of Si'e, the Kingdom of Si'e had no intention of resisting.
, trying to quell the war by ceding territory, General Solus from the Solomon family insisted on going to war, and personally led an army of 30,000, and entered a stalemate with the imperial army near Wugui Cliff. But at the end of the battle, General Solus was
He died suddenly of illness, leading to the complete defeat of the Royal Army. Could it be that..."
"Sudden death is not a new excuse." Miss Pirate said with sarcasm: "It's just that the empire saw that it couldn't take advantage of the frontal battlefield, so it changed a way to put pressure on the royal family of the Si'e Kingdom in a roundabout way. And that person
The old and dim monarch did become suspicious and allowed the imperial spies to carry out the so-called assassination plan, which further fueled the situation and eradicated the Solomon family, the only political power that could compete with the royal family."
"His stupid move not only completely cut off his own escape route, but also spawned vengeful monsters like Grann Solomon. I heard that Solomon's dog even ventured across the Sea of Storms during the rainy season and bypassed the Cliff of No Return.
After bombarding the royal city directly from the sea, the old king could only hide in his palace and tremble. The Imperial Navy stationed nearby arrived in time to support, but two new warships were sunk by Glenn Solomon and all were lost.
face."
"How do you know so clearly?" Alice, who secretly poked her head out from under the table, asked, "Aren't you a minor character... eh."
Facing the muzzle of Hessen's gun, she retracted her head heartily, while the pirate lady slowly took back the blunderbuss and kindly reminded: "Compared to Glenn Solomon, I am indeed a small player, but this does not mean that
You can provoke me, dear Miss Alice. As for why I know so clearly, it is of course because Grann’s crazy actions angered the empire, so the Imperial Navy and the Crusaders joined forces at the junction of the Endless Sea and the Sea of Storms.
We intercepted Solomon's Dogs in an attempt to completely eradicate this threat."
"But this plan was known to Glenn in advance through secret channels, so he issued a pirate call-up order, summoned eighty-six pirate groups of various sizes in his own name, and led them in turn to surround the Imperial Army's sea base.
Comaine Island. He took the lead and promised that all plunder would be privately owned and the responsibility would be borne by himself. As a result, the pirates' morale was high and they risked their lives. They almost beat the island's garrison and threw themselves into the sea to survive. If it weren't for the alliance of the religious orders,
The turbine carrier Nidhogg arrived in time, maybe the empire has lost this sea base."
"Were you on the periphery to protect the Solomon's Dog? I mean, in your memory." Ringer quickly asked: "Did the Glenn Solomon fight against the Nidhogg? What was the combat effectiveness of the latter?
?”
He did not ask about the outcome. After all, Grann Solomon only had Sequence 2. Facing the constructed mecha united by the religious orders, it would be difficult to win. However, his name is still widely circulated all over the world, which means that even though that battle
They were defeated, and they were not defeated miserably. Unlike the Celestial Eaters, the Great Lord Yuandi and Gundaruf, they were directly bombarded into scum by the Condemnation Cannon of the Crimson Night Gate.
Is it because Grann Solomon's combat effectiveness is stronger than the latter three, or is it because the turbine mothership Nidhogg's combat effectiveness is not as powerful as the Earth Witch Crimson Nightgate?
Ringer thinks it is the latter, and hopes it is the latter.
However, Gloria's answer still surprised him.
"There was no fighting." She glanced at the young man and replied casually: "As soon as the Nidhogg appeared, Glenn Solomon gave up the original plan and directly commanded Solomon's Dog to leave the battlefield. The remaining pirates
The group dispersed in a hurry, and except for a few slow-moving ones who were overtaken by the Nidhogg and became unlucky, everyone else escaped safely, and the battle ended hastily, with neither side achieving their goals."

"He just ran away?" Alice's head poked out from under the table ghostly, and commented: "Isn't this guy too cowardly? Is he worthy of being the Pirate King?"
Although Glenn Solomon is only a great pirate, not the Pirate King as Alice mentioned, her opinion is also everyone's opinion. After all, Gloria described him as someone who endured humiliation and endured heavy burdens, and who was willing to take revenge.
, but in the end, he didn’t even have the courage to confront the Nidhogg head-on? The Celestial Eater was blocked in his lair and didn’t even think about surrendering (because there would be no good consequences for surrendering), and Rochelle even summoned the God of Conception in a vain attempt
Defeating the Crimson Night Gate head-on proves that the constructed mecha is not invincible. In comparison, Grann Solomon is a bit inferior.
Are the true gods of Sequence 2 so timid?
"It's slightly different from what you think." Gloria said: "Glenn Solomon is a fanatic driven by revenge. He does not lack the courage to fight against powerful enemies. If there is a one in ten thousand possibility,
Even if he won, he would not run away silently and damage his prestige in vain. But at that time, there was a strong man on the Nidhogg who was far more powerful than him. Glenn was convinced that he could continue to
There was no possibility of winning at all, so I chose to retreat."
"Who?" Alice couldn't help but ask.
However, everyone has some guesses in their minds. After all, the only enemy that can make the true gods of Sequence 2 realize that they cannot defeat is...
"The commander-in-chief of the 300,000-strong holy army united by the religious order, and also the commander-in-chief of the Western Continent Allied Forces." Gloria said word by word: "The witch of strife, Favrona."
