He took a deep look at the monster, as if he wanted to remember it in his mind. He forced Brann back with a knife, turned over and jumped into the river, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.
It’s not that Sean didn’t want to take the opportunity to kill this champion knight who was full of malice towards the leader of the Eternal Night Army, so as to avoid future troubles.
It's just that the Thunder Golden Eagle's other abilities are not enough to deal with the Champion Knight. The only super-destructive Thunderbolt requires a long time to accumulate momentum and fully mobilize the power of the spell to be used. Once the opponent is prepared, it will be difficult to hurt.
After all, we are on the river now.
If a champion knight wants to run away, it will be difficult to stop him.
Sean gathered most of the thunder power and dispersed it again. He glanced at the Messenger, which was completely out of trouble, and raised his body again.
Looking down from a high altitude, on the river behind the Messenger, there are dozens of Crocodile warships rushing in this direction. It is impossible to judge whether they are enemies or friends.
Fortunately, it's not too far away from the Danube River here. It's enough for the Messenger to enter the Danube River before they catch up.
Once there, there were more merchant ships belonging to the Yongye Army.
These days, even merchant ships will be equipped with quite impressive armed forces, otherwise the good people who deal with them in good faith may turn into thugs.
"Go at full speed." Although the captain of the Messenger did not see the ship behind him, it did not prevent him from making the most correct judgment. Before he could kill all the crocodile soldiers who fell into the water, he opened the ship at full speed again and escorted Bran intact.
Returning to the Yongye Army Leader is his first priority.
The Champion Knight Assassin had just escaped, and Brann fell down on the deck, his face turned pale.
The captain of the Messenger, who had just finished his work, walked over quickly, gave him a hand and said, "Chief of Staff, are you okay?"
"It's nothing serious. It's just that my energy is a little over-exhausted. I'll be fine after a sleep." Brann explained while taking out a charging gem and absorbing the power of the spell. Although there was no way to replenish his energy, he was still a little bit tired.
Dejected, but at least he no longer looks like he might faint at any moment.
The pressure to compete against the champion knight is too great. He has a lot of charging gems in his pocket, but has no chance to replenish his strength.
However, the benefits of struggling in this desperate situation of life and death are also huge. The door to the peak that has been closed to him has quietly loosened, revealing a small gap.
No wonder the Yongye Army leader has been spreading the legend that training in life and death is a shortcut to the top. It seems that it is not groundless.
It’s not like Brann has never asked a champion knight to help him with his tricks before. He even did it himself when his father, Ben Hib, reached his double peak, but the effect was not ideal and he has never been able to figure it out.
Now I finally found the reason. What is fake will always be fake. No matter how real the simulation is, if you don’t tense up your nerves, you will always miss something.
What's more, unless a person is forced into a desperate situation, he will never know how powerful the power he can unleash.
Looking back on the whole process now, he almost suspected that he was in a dream. If he were asked to do it all over again, he didn't know if he could do it, because at that moment, under the pressure of death, his energy and spirit were forced to be highly concentrated, and some operations had already been done.
It exceeded his normal limit, and his body had a vague illusion of falling apart, but he also felt indescribably intoxicated.
"It's okay! It's okay!" The captain of the Messenger breathed a long sigh of relief and felt that his feet were a little weak.
Although he did not participate in the battle from beginning to end, controlling the ship and directing the battle was also a very draining matter, especially in the few dozen seconds when the ship collided with the crocodile warship, the dangers involved were highly concentrated.
His energy and vigor were not much worse than when Brann faced off against the injured champion knight alone.
In this encounter, which lasted for less than a quarter of an hour, it was not only Brann who gained something. This young captain also gained unique insights in both personal training and manipulating warships. He might have a chance.
Take it to the next level.
"What are you doing?" Bran asked curiously as he looked at the young captain who took out a pen and paper and started writing quickly.
"Remember what I just learned." The young captain replied without raising his head.
Blaine was stunned and couldn't help but raised his thumb and said: "Good habit."
The young captain finished memorizing it quickly, carefully put away the pen and paper, smiled and shook his head and said: "This habit was not developed by myself, but was forced out by Commander Woody. On the day the Raging Wave Navy was established, Commander
Without saying anything, each captain was given a diary and a pen and asked us to record every day on the warship, including what the soldiers ate, drank, and had diarrhea. After all, we were crossing the river by feeling the stones and had no experience at all.
It takes a little bit of accumulation, especially the experience of a head-on confrontation with the enemy, which cannot be omitted. To put it into detail, this is our first head-on battle on the water, and it is precious first-hand information."
"It is said that Commander Woodie is very good at training. I was skeptical at first, but now I believe it." Brann sighed sincerely.
Being able to rise from a hundred guardsmen all the way up to become the leader of a newly formed legion is not a fluke, but one that has its own uniqueness.
The young captain hesitated for a moment and lowered his voice: "Chief of Staff, was that the lord just now?"
"It's best not to make random guesses about this kind of thing. When it's time for us to know, we'll know it naturally. If we shouldn't know about it, it will be taboo if we know too much." Brann warned, "You only need to know that the other party is
As long as we are friends and not enemies, let’s issue a gag order.”
"Understood." The young captain nodded, "Chief of Staff, if there is nothing else, I will go to other places."
"You go ahead and do your work first, I'm fine." After watching the other party leave, Bran just sat on the floor, closed his eyes and rested, recalling what he had just gained and regaining his energy.
The surviving Yongye soldiers on the Messenger were also shocked and whispered among themselves.
"What was it that just rescued us? It looks a bit like the legendary Sanset Eagle, but it doesn't look like a physical body."
"I have seen a similar figure passing by in the territory more than once. I originally thought it was a Sansett giant eagle, but I didn't expect it to be anything other than innocent."
"I feel a strong magical power in it. Don't you think this kind of fluctuation is familiar?"
"Shut up, everyone. What you saw just now is to implement the special confidentiality regulations and let me rot in my stomach." The boatswain of the Messenger limped over and warned them with a solemn expression, "No survivors, no corpses."
Throw it all into the river and feed it to the fish.”
As for rescuing the wounded and gathering the bodies of our companions, there was no need to give any orders at all. The medical soldiers on board the ship would naturally take care of it.
"Understood." Those Yongye soldiers were shocked. They looked at each other and instantly understood the deeper meaning. This was obviously another secret weapon of the Yongye army leader.
Having said that, the leader of the Yongye Army has never stopped investing in the Biological Anomaly Research Institute over the years. Even those huge war beasts have been deployed in many brother departments.
Not to mention enchanted equipment, it is clearly listed on the merit list of the Munitions Department. As long as you have enough merit and your strength reaches the minimum standard, you can have unique abilities exclusive to the warlock.
The knight who sacrificed his life to protect Brann earlier showed them the power of the enchanted equipment, which could withstand a blow from the champion knight.
With this kind of equipment, it is like having an extra life on the battlefield, which is very eye-catching.
Although they had just experienced the tragic loss of their comrades, the morale of these Evernight soldiers was even higher. They looked up at the dark clouds hovering above their heads, their hearts burning. With its protection, they had no worries about the rest of the way.
.
Just a few minutes after the Messenger left, the Alligator warship that Sean saw from the air arrived.
Standing at the bow of the ship was none other than Weber Sarof, one of the members of the Great Council of Elders.
Seeing the miserable scene after the fierce battle in the river, the elder of the Crocodile Clan, who did not show his emotions easily, stamped his feet angrily: "After all, it was a step too late. Klein, this old bastard, actually did it for his own selfish interests."
, he did such a crazy thing, he is not saving the crocodile tribe, he is driving us to a dead end."
Obviously, they received the news and came to stop the interception, but they received the news a little late and failed to catch up in time.
"Clan leader, we have searched everything. There is no wreckage of the Messenger. There are only our Crocodile tribe's own ships. There are seven ships in total, all of which belong to the Klein elder tribe." Those Crocodile tribe soldiers who went into the water to search soon came back to report.
.
"There is no wreckage of the Messenger?" Weber gasped, both happy and surprised.
Fortunately, Klein's interception seemed to have failed, and the relationship between the Crocodile Tribe and the Yongye Army Leader was not at a dead end, and there was still room for relaxation.
Surprisingly, among the seven Crocodile clan warships, a champion knight personally took action, but he did not even capture one of the opponent's assault warships. How powerful are the opponent's warships? Could it be that there is still a champion hidden on the warship?
Not a knight?
If this is the case, the strength of Yongye Army Leader is probably more terrifying than they imagined.
"Clan leader, we caught a man alive." Soon another crocodile tribe soldier reported back.
"Quickly, bring him here." Weber said hurriedly.
Soon, a crocodile soldier with a somewhat dull expression was brought over.
"Tell me, what exactly happened just now?" Weber asked hurriedly. He was now not only concerned about the situation of the Messenger, but also what happened.
"Monster! What a big monster! Lightning!" The crocodile soldier said something incoherent, as if he was answering Weber's question or mumbling to himself.
"What happened to this guy? He was so frightened that he lost his mind." The few words that popped out of the other party's mouth not only failed to solve Weber's confusion, but made him even more confused. But he was not a witch doctor.
, there is really nothing we can do about this.
On the contrary, the Crocodile Clan soldier who escorted him up couldn't stand it, so he gave him four or five big slaps with his backhand, and said in a rough voice: "Speak well."
Because it happened so fast, Weber had no time to stop it, but what was a bit strange was that this rough method actually took effect. The crocodile soldier looked like he had just woken up from a dream, and his eyes were somewhat awake, and he was intermittently talking.
Describing the whole process gave Weber a clearer understanding of the whole thing.
However, what this crocodile soldier repeatedly mentioned was the monster that descended from the sky with storms and thunder and lightning. It seriously injured their clan leader Klein and capsized most of their warships with the storm.
It was obvious that the monster left a serious psychological shadow on him.
But the story he told was a bit like a legend, with a sense of distortion from the inside out.
The most important thing is that when he was just fished out of the water, he looked like he was mentally disturbed. Weber did not dare to put too much trust in what he said.
However, he was not the only Alligator soldier who fell into the water. Soon, other Alligator soldiers who had not escaped were fished out one after another.
The process they described was almost the same as what the first person said.
Weber had to believe that what happened before was that the legend became reality. The interception that was about to succeed was completely destroyed. Klein, the strongest man in the Crocodile tribe, was seriously injured and escaped.
At this moment, Weber was a little unable to describe his mood. The thing that was circulating in his mind the most was the monster they mentioned the most.
Not much smaller than a warship, it looks like an eagle, has thunder and lightning on its body, can control storms, and has a translucent body...
Putting all these conditions together, it's still a bit hard to imagine its overall appearance.
The more you know about the leader of the Yongye Army, the less clearly you can see him. When you lift one veil, you find that there is another veil hidden behind him. No one knows how many veils he has hidden and which one is the one.
His true face.
Judging from the current situation, they no longer need to pursue it.
Out of caution, Weber still led his fleet and chased it all the way to the Donau River, only to see the Messenger from a distance. A dozen merchant ships from the Yongye Army had gathered around it.
These merchant ships are equipped with varying numbers of armed personnel on board. Based on the strong size of the merchant ships, their combat effectiveness is quite good. Even one or two Crocodile clan warships may not be able to bite them.
If Klein wants to move them again, he will have to use the army, and there will be no way to keep secrets.
What's more, the other party also has a monster that is hard to distinguish between real and fake.
Weber himself observed the sky above the Messenger, and sure enough he found a suspected small black spot, circling back and forth around it, and the coldness in his heart became more obvious.
Weber returned to the territory with a lot of worries. He first vented his anger to several other great elders and discussed how to make amends in the future.
Although the situation has not slipped to an irreversible level, Klein's unauthorized actions still made them very passive. Who knows whether the Eternal Night Army will understand or take advantage of the situation.
And Klein didn't know if he was worried about the accusations from the Council of Elders. After the incident, he never returned to the Council of Elders. Instead, he returned to his tribe without saying a word. Even the soldiers of his tribe didn't know what he had received.
Order, all of them separated from the parliamentary coalition and returned to their hometowns.
Although the Council of Elders had received the news in advance, there was nothing they could do to stop it. Once the situation broke out, there would be no room for relaxation.
Fortunately, Klein has always had a bad temper and basically has no allies in the Council of Elders. Few people follow his example and agree with such extreme things.
Because once you do this, it means severing your relationship with the Council of Elders and isolating yourself. Most people don't have the courage.
Merely deploying this combat force of less than 20,000 will not cause irreparable damage to their overall situation.
However, this made the Crocodile tribe's aid to the Yongye military leader even more urgent.
