Chapter 21 The Year of Chaos

The flagship of the Youngberry Kingdom, the Poseidon Eagle.

The battleship was almost at a standstill, and as the waves moved, the sounds of various battle explosions continued to be heard from within.

On the deck, mages flying across the sea were fighting with the nobles of the Canghong Empire.

The sea water was rolled up by the strong wind, cooled rapidly in the air, and then formed a rotating storm like a high-speed machine gun, shooting endless ice cones. If you were hit by these ice cones and were temporarily frozen on the deck, then there would be more than ten faint blue streaks.

Thunder arrows shot over and crucified him into a hedgehog.

War is not a game for children. Even if you are of noble birth or an outstanding genius, you will die as casually as rags under such a concentrated fire attack. No one will care about your name, appearance, or story.

After most of the officers and nobles of the Cang Red Empire entered the bottom of the cabin, the people on the deck were killed by the mages who arrived immediately. After that, some people entered the bottom of the cabin, and the other group jointly cast spells to control the water flow and diverted the navy.

The flagship leads in a safe direction.

In the cabin below.

The empire's naval commander led a group of elites to continuously break through all kinds of blocking iron doors and steel valves, crushing the crew members of the battleships they met on the road. As they went deeper, they got closer and closer to the rear power room of the battleship.

This is also the place where the battleship's protective structure is most complete.

"Sir, except for this last cabin, all other places have been searched."

"Very good, let's go!"

Wiping away the mixed sweat and blood drops on his cheeks, the sturdy and powerful naval commander waved his hand, and a compressed and twisted magic sphere shrank sharply and then exploded.

In the blazing light and heat, the solid extraordinary structure as a partition was melted and exploded, revealing the tall and sophisticated magical steam turbine behind it. The shiny and complicated mechanical structure is still running continuously today, with various gears and valves.

Sequentially rotate the opening and closing to maximize the use of fuel.

Now in this last room, several old men wearing white and blue navy uniforms are standing under this extremely tall magical steam turbine. There are more than ten guards in front of them. These guards are all wearing blue scale armor and holding hands.

Trident, the sharp tip of the halberd flashes with a dangerous light after enchantment.

"Oh, are you really here?" Looking at these people, the commander of the Imperial Navy's eyes narrowed, and the corners of his mouth opened wantonly.

"Let's begin." Then, he took the lead and broke through, and other nobles and officers followed with swords.

Seeing these enemies rushing over, the captain of the guard shouted, and then a burst of blue light bloomed from the armor, and then he swung his halberd with all his strength.

In the cabin, the bright red long swords collided with the blue halberds. Several of the red swords were directly knocked off and cut off, and the enemies behind were also torn apart by the halberds. But at the same time, several other red swords were light.

He quickly avoided the halberd and pierced the bodies of the guards at a tricky angle.

The sword edge twisted and stirred in the body, and then was quickly drawn out, bringing up a line of hot blood, and then slashed again, and several heads flew up.

After paying the price of 5 casualties, the attacking imperial team killed the last 12 guards. Then the naval commander raised his sword and beheaded several commanders of the fleet, leaving only the last one with the highest rank.

old man.

His thick wrists grasped the opponent's neck and lifted him up.

"This is the consequences of going against the empire, hahaha. Come out with me, old guy, I want others to know how the Admiral of the Youngberry Kingdom was captured alive by me like a lost dog." Faced with this show off,

An arrogant enemy, the old man had difficulty breathing and his body was shaking and struggling after being held.

After that, he dragged the old man, who was over fifty years old, and walked out of the cabin with the last eight noble officers.

Passing through the cabin full of wreckage and corpses, they quickly arrived at the middle level, and at this time, a slightly embarrassed mage lady stood in front of the group of people.

Part of her brown and black hair was singed, her coat was quite torn, her sleeves seemed to have been cut off by a sword, and there were traces of blood on her wrists.

"It's still a step too late." Alena's eyes swept over the group of people and she spoke slowly.

"Hmph, pretending, let's go." Facing the female mage who was blocking the road, she obviously didn't want to say much. The red and green sword shadows flashed in the dim cabin, and then she rushed over.

Alena slashed the blade of the blade urgently to block the oncoming blade. She kicked her steps and stepped back sharply. At the same time, she raised her free left hand. A blue magic circle appeared out of thin air, and sharp ice shards quickly appeared.

Shoot and hold off those enemies for now.

It seems like I have to risk my life today.

After turning over and falling, Alena raised her head and looked at the enemy rushing towards her again in the narrow passage. A small transparent medicine bottle was taken out from behind her, with extremely dark red liquid rippling in it.

[Chimera's Lament] (Rare Coral Level): Chimera blood has been modulated and mixed with various magic materials. It is rich in violent magic power, which can replenish the user's loss in a short time, quickly heal wounds, and temporarily relieve pain.

, to enhance strength. But it will also cause a lot of side effects to the body, and residual toxins will accumulate in the body.

This was a high-end potion that she exchanged with the association after she became a member of the Hinatsuki Council. It was intended to be used to save lives in emergencies during the war. She didn't want it to come in handy so soon.

The golden blade was raised again, swaying away the sudden emerald green light, and then the small medicine bottle in his hand fell directly into his mouth. The glass mixed with the medicine was bitten into pieces, and spread in the mouth like chewing ice slag.

Then bursts of heat began to come out of her body, red bloodshot eyes began to appear on her fair skin, and a pair of bright burning eyes looked like a ghost in the dim cabin.

It is indeed a high-end product, and it seems that it will not be a loss this time.

Feeling the boiling magic power in her body, Alena felt her whole body burning, and the pain was once again covered up, allowing her to concentrate on fighting.

The final good show was staged.

"I will be here to fulfill your lamentations."

The long knife is held in the palm of the hand with both hands, the blade is forward, the scattered hair moves automatically without wind, the high-level skills that could not be driven in the past are now in full operation, the blazing blue inscription slowly covers the blade, and long and narrow lines appear around the body.

Blue prism.

In an instant, like a flash of a dream, the two Sequence 6 imperial nobles were cut open with a sword. At the moment when the flesh and blood were separated, the blue light edges on the sides also penetrated and shot out, crossing the fleeting gap in the blood.

, penetrated the four people behind and nailed them to death in the messy cabin.

"Go to hell!"

When the commander of the Imperial Navy saw this scene, he threw the old man at hand directly, then grabbed the heavy long knife and rushed forward.

Looking at the oncoming blue light, the old man calmly closed his eyes to face death, and opened his mouth slightly, unable to speak.

'Good boy.'

Wielding the gorgeous long sword given by the emperor, the naval commander was like an angry lion, and the magic power around him rushed down like a huge wave, bound to chop the blue figure into pieces together with the old man.

At the moment when her sight was blocked, Alena's pupils condensed, and her figure suddenly turned into a blur of light. The long knife cut through a U-shaped arc, from bottom to top, passing between the old man's arm and body, wiping

Pass the opponent's sword edge and go straight to the opponent's face.

After a moment of miss, the cabin was split open directly by the thick sword light, the old navy man was also cut off, and the long sword that penetrated the darkness also pierced the forehead of the navy commander on the opposite side, causing him to kneel to the ground like a dead man.

, the body fell down weakly.

The old man, who was coughing blood in his mouth and only had half his body, looked at the remorseful and uncomfortable girl in front of him, blinked his eyes, and said with his last strength: "You did a good job, yes, that's it...

..”

Then his pupils quickly lost their vitality and his arms were unable to open.

Seeing the death of this familiar old man, Alena's eyes dimmed, then she struggled to stand up again, picked up the long knife and pointed it at the two remaining enemies.

Seeing this devil-like enemy standing up again, the remaining two imperial nobles were frightened. At this time, their commander was also dead and they had no intention of fighting anymore. The two of them panicked and looked for others.

Directions to escape from this place.

Seeing this, Alena slowly sat down against the wall.

This time, I couldn't save everyone.

After a while, mages from other battleships finally arrived. After checking the situation at the scene, several people rescued Aliena and transported her to other safe ships.

The flagship of the Young Berry Kingdom on the sea raised its flag again, but hanging under the flagpole was also the golden and red cloak of the commander of the Imperial Navy.

Then the transmitting instrument on the ship conveyed the message to all ships that the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Navy had been killed. At the same time, it was announced that the remaining Imperial Navy should surrender and stop the ships and stop the artillery.

Seeing this, the morale of the Empire's troops was in chaos, and many ships began to flee in all directions, and were later chased and intercepted by the warships of the Youngberry Kingdom.

After the battle, most of the Imperial Navy was destroyed. Some were destroyed and sank in the sea, some were burned and abandoned, and some were captured by the warships of the Young Berry Kingdom. However, the number of warships that truly escaped safely was less than one-third of the number at the time of departure.

one.

After this battle, the strength of the Imperial Navy was severely weakened, and the sea transportation supply lines began to be cut off by the fleet of the Young Berry Kingdom. The Imperial Army trapped in Cranthia also faced an increasingly difficult situation.

Two years later, the capital of Crancia, Solander.

Now that the New Year has just passed, there are still traces of unfinished snow falling on the streets.

The war continued for a long time. Although everyone was still working hard, in the face of the gradually improving situation, some hope and vitality began to appear on everyone's faces.

The simple and deserted detention room of the police station next to Central Street now houses a beautiful woman in luxurious clothes.

She was wearing a mink fur coat, with fluffy and exaggerated fluff on the collar, and a slender waist surrounding her body. The pink and purple nails on her fingers contrasted sharply with her fair skin. The earrings were also made of gorgeous

It is composed of rubies and gold, setting off the golden hair on the neck.

Although she is locked up here for the time being, she doesn't seem to be worried. She is holding an agate tobacco bottle in her hand, slowly blowing out the clouds, making the smoky makeup on her face even more hazy.

In the duty room outside the police station, two police officers were sitting by the fireplace chatting.

"Why has this noble lady come in again? Isn't she a well-known fashion master in the capital? Many people admire her. Even my daughter likes her little inventions."

"Oh, you're talking about her. She does have an unusual status. The higher-ups also said that she should be looked after carefully and when the time is up, let her leave normally. Anyway, it's not a big deal, it's just a fight with others on the street.

For a while."

"This is strange. Isn't she very rich and has a low status? How can she do such a thing?"

"Hey, it's hard to talk about things in that circle." Then the police officer whispered in his companion's ear.

"I heard others say that she was dumped or cheated on her relationship or something. Anyway, her temperament has changed drastically in the past year, and even the design of her clothes has suddenly changed."

"In the past, it was a normal style that everyone could appreciate, but now the clothes are so weird. Not only are they bright red and purple, but they are also extraordinarily flamboyant and strange."

"Many old customers don't like this change, but strangely a group of young women are addicted to it, saying that this is the wave of the new era and a symbol of female independence."

"However, although they are not adaptable, people in the larger fashion circle do recognize this development and vigorously praise it."

"Forget it, never mind, this kind of lady has nothing to do with me anyway."

The two chatted and talked about various situations on the front line today.

After successive setbacks in Crancia, the empire's offensive became conservative and began to build various fortifications, preparing to maintain the occupied areas for a long time and gradually annex them as part of the empire.

Moreover, in order to enhance the stability of the occupied areas, more soldiers were recruited from within the empire to suppress and monitor the situation in the occupied areas.

Faced with this situation, Crancia also began to launch a counterattack. After recovering some land in the early stage, it also began to encounter various fortresses that were defended. Relying on the newly built cannons, the empire guarded these strongholds and gave the nobles who guarded them great autonomy.

As long as you hold on for a certain period of time, the land will be permanently given to the family as a fief.

With this level of motivation, many great nobles mobilized various resources and managed to hold on to these cities under Clanscia's attack.

After suffering a lot of casualties during the siege, the Crancia military began several large-scale discussions. In the end, the offensive surprisingly slowed down and they no longer carried out the siege regardless of sacrifice.

"Perhaps the military is preparing special things or means. I heard from some old classmates that a lot of supplies covered with black cloth have been mobilized on the main line recently."

"We just need to fulfill our responsibilities well, believe in the leadership of the country, and believe in the teachings of the sage."

As they talked, the voices of the two gradually became quieter. One of them seemed to have gone to sleep, while the other was working the night shift and turned up the lights a little more.

Sitting in the cold detention room, the blond lady raised her head slightly and looked at the faint light coming from the window above her head, which was the afterglow of the starry sky at night.

Her face is slightly clear in the cold light. If you look carefully, you will recognize that this is the fashion designer and alchemy master who has become popular in the capital in recent years, Letis.

After gaining wealth and fame, this woman with both beauty and intelligence quickly attracted a lot of attention, and countless young talents violently pursued her, including artists, talented people, military officers, rich people, etc.

In the dazzling pursuit, she was still able to refuse at first, but later she was finally moved by one of the tenacious suitors and agreed to become her lover.

But this relationship did not usher in a happy ending. After becoming lovers, the man began to reveal many of his hidden qualities and eagerly wanted to have a relationship with Letis.

But as the eldest daughter of a wealthy family in the past, Letis soon woke up from the drowsiness of love, found something strange in this, and repeatedly rejected the other party. In the end, the man became angry and prepared to use violence, but Letis directly used a spell to kill him.

He left, and the relationship ended.

Because she injured the other party during the conflict, Letis was detained by the security station and was released after a week of detention. After that, her temperament also changed, and she seemed to no longer believe in some good things. She also designed more and more clothes.

Using dark elements, her beautiful face was also painted with smoky makeup.

Yesterday, when several of her other sisters were shopping on the street, they encountered a conservative old man who judged her arbitrarily, saying that she was immoral and had specially designed some devilish clothes, which was offensive.

Faced with such words, the fashion designer responded with sarcastic words, which triggered a quarrel. In the end, she bought herself and each sister a single ring in a jewelry store as a sign of never ending.

Marry someone to show off your unique style.

Although in the eyes of outsiders, this woman was so independent and strong in heart. But at this moment, Letis looked at the ring on her finger, and countless sighs rose in her heart.

She once lived a luxurious and noble life, experienced many difficulties and tribulations, and achieved the scenes of her past dreams. However, there always seemed to be a part of her heart that could not settle down, and she still sat in a cold corner, without any chance of warmth.

What kind of people and things are you asking for?

With doubts and sadness, she leaned against the wall and fell asleep again. In her dream, she seemed to return to her carefree childhood, and recalled the happy and simple life in the college.

Everyone sang songs together to celebrate her birthday.

They called their names, 'Letis, Letis...'

She didn't know how much time had passed in her sleep, but a voice woke her up.

"Letis, someone is looking for you." The police officer's voice came from outside the railing of the detention room.

Then, the sound of boots wearing boots entered the narrow corridor.
