At the critical moment, new changes appeared on the other side of the deep sea.
A figure flew over quickly, from a small black dot in the sky to flying over the port in almost the blink of an eye. The strange screams caused by the flight and the exaggerated clothes made it impossible to ignore him.
appeared. In this extremely tense moment, when friends and foes could not be distinguished, the port commander subconsciously grabbed the crossbow machine next to him and took aim, but in fact, the incoming man was far outside the effective range.
Fortunately, the exaggerated gentleman who flew over was not Sibia's enemy. He raised his hand in the air, and two fireballs that were not too big flew away from his hand, leaving two bright trails in the air.
Then it gently hit the ice floe behind the Joy!
A moment later, an extremely bright red light was transmitted from the inside of the ice. In the loud "bang" sound, the two huge ice floes were first exploded into more than a dozen pieces, but before the main body of the broken ice could fly away, it was blown away.
Shrouded in a spherical range, it was directly incinerated into steam by the orange-red heat, and the rest was broken into tiny ice cubes.
Mr. Exaggeration waved his hand again, and the strong airflow hit the stern of the Joy, sending it a long distance away.
"Is this still a human being?" The port commander's eyes widened. He was well-informed, but he never thought that humans could master such powerful magic - fireball is of course the most common magic.
Many people can release it, but he has never heard of a fireball that can penetrate the ice in an instant and produce various changes.
After the fireball is sent out, the best magician can do is control the flight trajectory. Stronger magicians can control the timing of the explosion, but the fireball flies, enters, explodes, and becomes a spherical high-heat range.
And with his control ability again and again, it can only be said that his magical attainments are far beyond ordinary people.
Although the guy flying in the sky is dressed like an ornamental plant, he is clearly still a human being, and such a powerful magic can only be cast by the legendary pseudo-gods and demons!
At the same time, five people flew down from the cliff behind and landed accurately on the back deck of the Joy.
As soon as their toes stepped on the deck, they started tearing apart the scroll without saying a word. First, there was a round of physical protection and magic blessing to protect the rear half of the Joy, and then there were wind blades, fireballs, hurricanes, and various magics that seemed free of charge.
He smashed outwards from the gap, breaking up the flying ice fragments - although these ice cubes the size of tables and wash basins could not directly penetrate the hull of the ship, they were still very lethal to ordinary sailors.
"The reaction is not slow..." Mr. Exaggeration in the sky laughed, raised his hand again, and used the whirlwind to completely send the Joy into the breakwater, then turned around and shouted, "See clearly, I will give you a magic spell
Demo!”
Mommy, who grabbed the scroll with both hands and threw it violently, was very unconvinced, but at this moment, he didn't dare to raise his head and say anything distracted.
Without a spell or any other preparation, Mr. Exaggeration erupted like a volcano hanging in the air. Countless fireballs shot out from his fingers, half of which circled the port breakwater and exploded into huge water columns in the sea!
The impact direction of this group of consecutive explosions is outward, and there is almost no heat. It just creates a huge thrust wave crest on the sea surface!
The other half of the fireballs rushed directly into the roots of the first round of huge waves, weakening the impact of the huge waves with violent explosions, and huge heat was emitted with the explosion, rapidly evaporating the surrounding backfill - the sea near the port was soared into the sky. The water vapor occupied the place, and in the continuous explosions, the orange-red fire dyed the water vapor as magnificent as clouds. It rolled and stirred, making it extremely spectacular.
On the sea surface covered by water vapor, the man-made counterwave violently collided with the incoming waves. With a loud noise, a splash rose up, and a water curtain with a width and height of hundreds of arms stood up! Before the water curtain could fall, , the second and third violent collisions followed - on the sea, extremely huge giant wave flowers bloomed, the petals were like flying water curtains, and the stamens were like exploding icebergs!
The flying water vapor turned into a white cloud column the size of a city, rolling straight into the sky. There were countless violent cyclones roaring in it, sucking countless seawater out of the sea, and then using tails like dancing tornadoes to spread far away. It sprayed out. Within a few dozen miles around the port, heavy rain began to fall at the same time.
The area near the coastline was misty, and people whose sight was blocked could only guess the progress of the matter from the frightening crashing sounds and high water curtains...
Only the imperial elites who do not rely entirely on sight observation, such as the handlers with super-sense, can "see" the details on the sea - the continuous impact of the reverse waves has greatly mitigated the momentum of the incoming huge waves. , the speed of those large and small icebergs was also forced to slow down, and some even began to decompose under the influence of external forces.
But an iceberg is still an iceberg, and its huge size is no joke.
Mr. Exaggeration stretched out his hands, and hundreds of huge light green wind blades were thrown directly into the sea, forming several rows under the sea surface outside the port breakwater - the wind blades rotated rapidly, like countless giant circular saws working at the same time. Targeting the icebergs that were rushing towards them. When the two came into contact, there was an immediate harsh friction sound, which made people near the port feel sick and vomited.
After passing through the rows of wind blades, the big icebergs turned into small icebergs, and the small icebergs turned into slag icebergs - ice chips rose into the sky and spread faster than water vapor. The nearby sky was so white that it almost turned into icebergs. A world of ice and snow! Then, the heavy rain within a radius of dozens of miles was mixed with hail, causing the people and animals in the wilderness to scream and run away!
However, although these scattered small hailstones are overwhelming and can give people bruises and bruises, they are no longer fatal.
On the sea, countless fragmented white ice blocks continued to move forward with the waves, but they no longer had much impact. They were stopped by the breakwater, accumulated and frozen with each other, and were broken by the undulating waves. At this time, because of the reverse waves, After impact, the incoming huge wave has turned into a wave in the general sense.
The people in the port looked at the huge changes in front of them with various expressions of surprise. Most people's bodies were frozen in a series of not-so-glorious gestures such as running away and climbing. A few people were still pinching themselves. His own thigh... The commander standing high up observed that in the unprotected distance to the left and right, the coast was directly covered by huge waves, and even an entire iceberg washed ashore!
The magical performance of extremely powerful exploding fireballs, huge wind blades, and tornadoes lasted for half a quarter of an hour. During this period, except for some fragmented ice floes floating into the harbor, no iceberg caused any damage to the port. Direct damage was caused. Although waves poured in from the coasts on the left and right sides of the port, the damage caused was not significant because of the loss of strong potential energy.
This exaggerated man above the port is truly turning the tide!
A quarter of an hour later, the waves on the sea slowly recovered, but the people standing high up in the port were still in a state of stunned silence, forgetting even the basic applause and cheers - the magician can explode, but it is only an instant.
It's just madness, and it can never continue. It seems that the five people who supported the Joy, even if they used scrolls, are as tired as dead dogs now.
Not to mention magic, even if you spit, no one can spit for so long!
When the first ray of sunlight shone on the sea again, in everyone's almost dull eyes, Mr. Exaggeration, who acted like a monster, finally put away his outstretched hands. He laughed twice, and then "swish" landed at the port.
On the lighthouse, he stood in front of the port commander - until this moment, the latter had not yet put down the crossbow in his hand.
But Mr. Exaggeration obviously didn't care about this. He took out a small book and handed it to the commander in a cool manner: "Come on, dear Major, stamp your seal."
The commander looked at the ornamental plant uneasily, obviously undecided. Just when both parties were embarrassed, a voice came to the rescue for the commander: "Major, do as the earl said, he is here to protect the coastline.
Come."
The commander turned around and found that the speaker was one of the elite elites of the empire who had come down from the high cliff. He was wearing the noble badge of the Sbia Alliance on his chest. He was obviously a trustworthy person. So the major did as he said,
Then, this water-stained imperial elite took the small book and stamped his emblem on the line of small words "Protecting the Temporary Military Port".
"Lieutenant Hilt, it's a pleasure to meet you." The count took the small notebook, flicked it with satisfaction, and nodded to the hilt.
"I would like to continue to be the second lieutenant, but I am no longer in the army." Dao Hilt smiled bitterly, and then lowered his voice, "Dear Earl, if it is not a leak, can you tell me the progress there?"
"Your Excellency is already a new rich man, of course you can know about this." The Earl shook his head seriously, "It's troublesome, it's very troublesome! Do you know what's going on with this iceberg? In fact, it was done by the guy in front. The war over there has already started.
, the first thing that came over was a tsunami with a height of hundreds of arms. The guys were so tired that they vomited blood before weakening and freezing it. Otherwise, the coastline within thirty miles would be completely destroyed."
"A tsunami hundreds of arms high!" Upon hearing this, the port commander couldn't help but shudder.
The count glanced at him and scolded him slightly unhappily: "Stand still! With us in front, no tsunami can drown you!"
The young officer who had been staying at the seaport for many years had never experienced this kind of coercion, and his face suddenly turned pale. In fact, the earl had already restrained himself when he was reprimanding him, but the aura he exuded was still much stronger than that of ordinary superiors.
"Although your Excellency's rescue has protected the port and supplies... the transportation will still be delayed." The hilt was not affected by the count's power, and his worried eyes were scanning the nearby sea - except for the Joy that plunged into the warehouse.
, the other ships in the port were fine. However, the rising seawater had flooded the warehouse, and there were many icebergs stranded on the distant coastline, and there were huge amounts of floating ice drifting in the sea. It was obviously impossible to sail the ship.
"Then there's no other way. We can only do this." The count nodded towards the handle of the knife, "I'm going to continue to be on guard. Goodbye."
"Take care and good luck." The handle returned the greeting and watched the count leave. Then he turned to the port commander and said, "Clean it up and resume transportation as soon as possible. Your responsibility is very important."
"Yes, sir." The major commander had already seen the golden badge on the handle of the knife, but did not dare to treat him as a second lieutenant. "As long as possible, I will arrange the captain's ship as soon as possible."
"We don't need a ship, we will set off immediately." At this time, Vic, who had recovered his breath, appeared on the lighthouse and said to the handle, "This tsunami will increase the chaos on the front line, and we have to get there as soon as possible.
, can’t waste any more time.”
"When we came down, we had already asked them to prepare the horses." Dao Huo nodded, turned around and glanced into the distance, "We are far away from the battlefield over there, right? But there is still such a powerful force rushing over, so I don't know the actual battle situation.
How about..."
"You've never been hung on a tree before, so you should worry about yourself, you're a lucky guy!" Vic had nothing to say about the luck of the knife hilt, and secretly made up his mind to never get into trouble with this guy again.
Physical bastards walk by water...
The impact of the tsunami was not limited to those near the coastline. Senior officials in Sibia who were waiting in the city were also shocked.
Soon, the people who stayed behind in the city saw this man-made disaster through the magic light curtain.
Statistics reported later showed that more than a thousand miles of coastline in Taiyuan was hit by huge waves and icebergs. Although there were strong reserve personnel rushing to rescue, eight military ports were seriously damaged, and about 20 transport ships were unable to avoid them.
It was destroyed, but the sailors on board were finally rescued.
The remaining icebergs are all over the coastal waterways, like countless floating reefs. This large section of the waterway will be unusable for at least a month, which means that the transportation of many materials will inevitably be delayed.
In fact, this is not bad. If the crusade army had not deployed defenses on the deep sea line, then this tsunami would have hit directly and turned the coastline into a hell on earth. Through the magic light curtain, the people waiting in the city could clearly see those things.
The height and thickness of the waves before they were frozen were absolutely shocking. Such interceptions at coastal ports had been carried out several times before, and the constant freezing and magic bombardment were able to cut down the huge waves all the way.
In fact, those icebergs that were brought to the shore were only a small part. The really huge icebergs were still spinning in the deep sea. The sea part of one of the icebergs was carved by a noble scum into a statue of a lady sleeping on her side. The distance from head to toe was
It's twenty-seven miles.
"I seem to know this lady." When the image from a high altitude was transmitted to the magic light screen, the carefree little Princess Qinlun clapped her hands and said, "She is so big and beautiful! It will probably take several years to fade away.
Bar?"
"Dear Qinlun, of course the shiny iceberg is very beautiful, but if it lies across the sea, it will cause trouble to the uncles who are sailing out to sea, so no matter how beautiful it is, it is not allowed." Feilin looked at the little princess kindly, patiently
She buried the adult way of thinking and worldly sufferings in her heart. During this period of time, Feilin had become accustomed to handling things with this little tail.
Then, Feilin turned around and asked: "How big is the impact of the iceberg? Will it cause irreparable damage to the war situation?"
"Of course there will be an impact, but it doesn't seem to be enough to delay the war." The general staff officer's attitude toward Feline was better than that of Cohen. "Your Highness, as long as these waves are not allowed to directly hit the shore, we can persevere."
"Does it really matter if we can't transport to the front line for at least a month?" Feilin insisted on her question, "The battlefield is very vast."
"Yes, Your Highness, the battlefield is very vast and the number of people is large, but most of the materials shipped from here are not directly related to the battle." The general staff officer patiently explained, "All kinds of necessary materials are stored in advance at a certain proportion on the front line, and
The troops have made many seizures, including three to five months' worth of food. Under the current circumstances, the fighting is not too fierce. Most of them are pursuits, blockades, sieges, and diplomatic negotiations, so the consumption is not that big. What we are worried about is
It was after the war, speaking of which, it was still..."
What Carlos was talking about was the problem that troubled Sbia's senior leaders during this period, that is, the issue of post-war governance.
Although the first batch of expatriates has set off and the second batch of expatriates has also been put on the agenda, judging from the overall situation, things are still far from Sibia's goal of "no trouble". So far, the public and ordinary people have
The officials were still unaware of the situation. The expatriates took up their posts with great enthusiasm. Senior officials of the alliance only felt that manpower was a little tight. They could not see the huge hidden dangers hidden behind the smooth operation.
Only core figures like Carlos and Feline understand the seriousness of the problem and understand the crux of the problem - the key is that the Sbia Alliance's own accumulation is not enough.
Under normal circumstances, ideally, for one empire to swallow up another empire, it requires at least ten years of planning and preparation. On this basis, if it wants to swallow up several other empires, it will require at least several generations of hard work.
The Sibiya Alliance... yes, it has this capability militarily, but in other aspects, especially in domestic affairs, it cannot be overestimated as "whim", "greedy for big things" and "rushing ducks to the shelves".
The reason is that Cohen did not include this prediction in his initial war plan. Instead, he suddenly realized that "it can be done like this!" So, while cherishing the fruits of his labor, Cohen naturally
Did it... In fact, even if it weren't for Fichet, this all-out war would still have been launched, with a delay at most.
But smooth sailing in the military does not mean that there are no problems in other aspects. The hatred and anger caused by the war are full of people's bodies, and they are two-way and continuous. After leaving the life-and-death battlefield, these complex emotions will be hidden
rise and become a serious obstacle to the victor's subsequent governance.
In fact, post-war governance is not without shortcuts, but Cohen has repeatedly emphasized that he does not want civilians to be sacrificed. He even expressed the intention that other people should also be able to survive. This other people include nobles, officials, scholars, and samurai from all over the world.
Businessmen and even religious figures... Of course, enemies and die-hards are not included.
This means that Cohen vetoed the reign of terror and military rule, but the direct consequence of prohibiting bloody methods was that the entire Bisi Alliance was in a hurry. If you want to weave a network on the Bisi continent, even if it is temporary, it will take a long time.
How many officers are needed?
"I know they are thinking of a way." The "they" Feilin refers to are naturally the civil servants who have received energy infusion. "If there is still a gap in the end, they can also respond themselves."
"Understood, we will make a plan to wipe away their traces afterwards." Carlos understood Feilin's intention, "But instead of being in a hurry when the time comes, why not let them do it now?"
"Not now, because they have more important missions." Feline explained to Carlos, "According to Cohen, the future Bis continent must be an orderly world. It can have many empires, many kingdoms,
There are many classes, but people must abide by a common order. This kind of law must be accepted by the vast majority of people and must be formulated as soon as possible.”
"Isn't it enough to have the current laws of the Sbia Alliance?" Carlos didn't pay much attention to internal affairs before, so he didn't know many inside stories. "And what does it mean to enact it as soon as possible?"
"The laws of Bisi serve war, but to govern the entire Bisi continent, we need softer and more merciful rules. Strike while the iron is hot. It is best to complete it while defeating the false gods, otherwise, it will be delayed until others want to
If you join, we will be in big trouble." Feline was almost repeating Cohen's original words, "If you think about it, even the magic system has to be re-established. How big should this system be? How can we randomly recruit people from outside.
"
"It seems that we are pursuing something more perfect?" Carlos was a little surprised, "Isn't the current magic system very good?"
"The current system is just a reluctance. Like many systems formulated by false gods, it will inevitably be chaotic if it develops forward." Feilin explained, "This time the rules are formulated, future development must be taken into account, and all factors must be taken into consideration.
, and there must be a lot of leeway... As far as magic is concerned, such as reaching a contract with the four elemental gods and borrowing their power, it is absolutely not allowed."
"I probably understand." The expression on Carlos's face was a little unnatural, "But shouldn't this kind of thing be done by... God?"
"Who makes our source of life unwilling to be entangled with worldly things? And the glorious returnees can't even come up with a system like the false gods." Feilin seemed very calm, "Besides, there are nobles behind us.
Laws, scholar’s law, merchant’s law, warrior’s law… even down to the level and advancement of each sub-series, there are some things that I doubt how Cohen came up with them.”
"I just think that after His Highness Fishette woke up, the things in His Highness Cohen's head suddenly became more and more difficult to figure out." Carlos showed a bitter smile on his face, "The last warrant I received from the commander was
You want me to order the army to hand over high-lethal weapons at the end of the war."
"Yes, these high-damage weapons are not allowed to be spread out, which is also part of the new rules." Felin nodded, "Cohen probably wants to minimize Sbia's impact on the mainland... for the future
He has too many things to consider regarding the direction of the continent, including the source of life, the thirty-six tribes, humans and even false gods."
"It seems strange to me." Carlos asked doubtfully, "Although there are so many things we have to do, why are you not worried about the current crusade at all, Your Highness?"
"Because Cohen told me that the crusade probably won't start." Feline said with a smile, "He said that he went there just to collect debts. Whether the false god can be eliminated or not is not mentioned, the point is that no matter what the process is, it will be the same in the end.
We win, the only difference lies in the price the false gods have to pay."
"You mean, sir, you're going to get some benefits this time? You won't suffer at all? You don't have to work hard?"
"It should be so." Felin nodded, "After all, Cohen has never thought of destroying the false gods. Moreover, you should also know how the false gods exist. If the source of life does not take action, who can really destroy them?"
"I feel relieved now..." Carlos laughed, "I hope everything goes well!"
As soon as Carlos' laughter rang out, the ground beneath his feet shook violently, almost knocking him down!
With a sound of "Shua...", the guards outside the door rushed in and instantly set up a full-attribute protective barrier.
"Leave!" Feilin calmly picked up the little princess and left. When she walked out of the door, she looked and said, "Come up!"
"Protect His Highness and go first - I'm going to check the situation!" Carlos turned around and ran elsewhere, but was held back by Feline.
"No need, look." Feilin raised her head towards the distance.
Carlos turned his head to look and found that in the violent ground tremors, the source of life itself was also shaking endlessly - originally he thought this was just a natural phenomenon such as an earthquake, or at most a slight false god's counterattack, but now it seems
, things are much more serious.
The source of life itself is shaking, the eternal element array is shaking, and those returnees who are left behind are flying around like headless flies!
"What...is going on?" Carlos racked his brains and couldn't find the correct answer.
"We are ascending." Feilin said calmly, and then she put the little princess in the hands of her personal maid, "Escort the little princess to the Holy City. Don't look back unless summoned. Leave immediately!"
Carlos was not surprised by Feline's order because he had already seen the reason.
Under the body of the source of life, the Mother Goddess incarnates and stands in the air. Her usually smiling and kind face is cold, and her eyes are as empty and terrifying as if they have lost their spirituality!
"Rumble..." Amidst the continuous loud noises, the wind and clouds changed color, and the sky and the earth darkened. In the entire Dicheng area, this circular land mass with a radius of several hundred kilometers broke away from the ground and flew into the sky with a thunderous sound. In Dicheng
The original location was filled with smoke and dust, leaving only a huge cavity on the surface, with dark red magma surging in the center. Countless stone and soil fragments fell from the sky, as dense as raindrops.
The source of life flew off the ground, and the entire Bis continent was in panic all day long! (To be continued)
