At this time, the sun has not yet risen, and the red moon and stars that have not yet disappeared can still be seen. The sea in the distance is shrouded in darkness, and only the huge lighthouse emits light, illuminating the military port.
On the newly built training ground, rows of soldiers wearing blue uniforms are ready to go. After being inspected, they set off to their respective ships. In two hours, this naval base will have six warships totaling 1,000
One hundred and forty-two soldiers headed to the Rossed Sea.
In the conference room of the base building, Brigadier General Joseph sat in the main seat, and from time to time he sat with the school-level officers on both sides for final confirmation. Although the order they received this time was only to clean up the fleeing pirates, not the main force of the battle, but this was
The mission from superiors must be ensured that the dispatched fleet can be completed, but the safety of one's own naval base must also be ensured.
The person in charge of the naval base is about forty years old, with a fair face, a beard, and slightly curly black hair. Although his expression is serious, his tone is indeed quite gentle.
After all the officers in the conference room left, the serious look on his face disappeared. He looked at the two people sitting on the sofa beside him and said with a helpless smile:
"Mr. Governor, Mr. Bishop, you should have received corresponding orders. From now on, Olavi's safety will require our mutual cooperation..."
"As the governor of Oravi, I will ensure the safety of this island even without orders."
Auston Leavitt, who was sitting on the sofa on the left, puffed out his chest and spoke with a steady and powerful voice!
"Hmph, the soldiers and policemen in the Governor's Palace can only suppress the people on the island, right? Or do you expect those people to deal with the pirates attacking from the sea?"
Bishop De Lorraine on the sofa on the right is wearing a blue clerical robe. He is quite ferocious-looking and has a thick beard. He looks more like a pirate than the bishop of the Church of Storms.
"I almost forgot, Bishop Lorraine, you know pirates best. Your ability to search ships is even better than pirates. I don't know where you learned this skill."
Due to the extremely poor relationship between Allston and the bishop, the latter would try to make things difficult for the Leavitt family within the scope of his authority, such as asking clergy to search the Leavitt family's ships at sea.
Brigadier General Joseph secretly thought something was wrong, and immediately stepped forward quickly, blocking Bishop Lorraine who had already stood up and was about to throw a fist, stretched out his arms and said:
"Mr. Bishop, Mr. Bishop! Pay attention to the impact..."
Mr. Commodore, who had finally managed to persuade them, did not dare to let the two of them talk anymore. He showed his dignity as the person in charge of the naval base and said in a deep voice:
"Although the naval base only retains half of its strength, the coastal defense guns will not be afraid of incoming pirates. What I am worried about is that there are hidden pirates inside the island who will take advantage of this to cause trouble. This requires the cooperation of the Governor's Palace and the church.
All I can guarantee here is that pirates will not be allowed to approach the port. Once the warship leaves the port, Olavi will enter a state of alert..."
The supreme ruler of Roen's overseas colonies is naturally the local governor, but once colonial islands like the Rhoside Islands and Oravi enter a state of war, the military and the Church of Storms will temporarily gain the highest command authority.
Then Joseph took the map from the conference table and asked Bishop Auston and Bishop Lorraine to choose the area they were responsible for. The former would send police and soldiers from the Governor's Mansion to station in advance, while the latter would ask the "Punisher" to carry the corresponding sealed object.
Be prepared.
…
"when!"
"when!"
The ethereal and melodious bells spread from the majestic bell tower of San Draco's Church to all surroundings, awakening the surrounding residents and the island.
"Bell Ringer" Kano put down the black hammer in his hand and looked at the warships sailing away from the naval base in the distance. A little doubt flashed in his eyes, one big and one small. He shook his head and prepared to go down for breakfast, but turned around.
Then he saw a strange man standing behind him.
"What do you want from me?"
Although he was a little surprised, the ugly-looking "bell ringer" did not shout a warning and ask for help from the clergy in the church.
"Are you Kano the Bell Ringer?"
Bird Mustang, the "Viscount of Fear" with an ordinary face, looked at this guy who was obviously not a normal human with great interest. He was ready to "distort" the opponent's will at any time.
Kano pointed to the black clock hammer beside him, smiled and said:
"Isn't it obvious? What do you want from me?"
"I want to see Senator Richard."
"I understand, come with me."
…
"Mr. Congressman, someone wants to see you." Carnot, who brought Bird Mustang to a stone bridge, faced the bridge tunnel on the far left.
"Haha, I'm afraid it can't be done now. We can only talk like this..." A hoarse voice came from the depths of the dark bridge cave.
"that's enough."
Bird Mustang bowed slightly toward the bridge hole, which was a sign of respect for the demigod.
"Your Excellency, something is going to happen in Olavi next. The Count asked me to visit you in advance. I hope you don't mind."
Inside the bridge tunnel, Councilor Reachord was silent for a while, then said hoarsely:
"I know, this is also a good thing for me."
…
hostel.
After reading Bernadette's letter, Rolls, who fell asleep again, suddenly opened his eyes, sat up from the bed, took a few steps to the window, opened a gap and looked outside.
The vendors shouting back and forth, the bakery filled with the aroma of wheat, the beggars on the street corners, everything seems normal.
But as a "chaos mentor" who has been able to sense the order and rules in a certain area, he knows that this is only tranquility on the surface, and a chaotic vortex has been formed secretly, just waiting to explode.
What's going on here?
At the street corner, a group of Loen soldiers wearing red jackets and white trousers, holding rifles, ran to the intersection amidst the confused and frightened eyes of pedestrians on the street. After standing still, they looked at the pedestrians who appeared on the street, making these people...
He quickened his pace and quickly left the street.
But later they discovered that this was not the only place where this happened.
Not only soldiers, but also police, who either patrol or stand at the street entrance, scrutinizing every pedestrian passing by.
Soldier?
Rawls closed the window and looked to the side, Alicia, who also noticed the change in order and appeared behind him, but the expression on her face was more solemn.
"It's very dangerous here, no, this island has become dangerous... We have to leave here as soon as possible!"
…
Over Oravi.
Nast, who had a black beard that barely reached his neck and wore a spire crown on his head, stepped on the void. His gorgeous black robe with silver edges fluttered in the wind. His face had hard and profound lines, full of majesty.
There was dark red light flowing in his deep black eyes, looking at the flowing clouds around him, not knowing what he was thinking.
Suddenly, a burst of bubbles shimmering with dreamy brilliance appeared not far in front of him, and a figure appeared.
She wears an Intis-style shirt with large lace flowers at the neckline, an indigo patterned captain's suit, off-white trousers, boots close to the knees, and a tricorn hat with a feather on her head.
"Queen of Mystery", Bernadette.
"Your plan is too risky. If something goes wrong, Gad II will come here."
"Since you appear here, it proves that I have a high chance of winning, doesn't it?" Nast looked at the island at his feet, "I only need two days, and I will send someone to solve the problem you are worried about.
fixed."
…
Underground of St. Draco's Church.
After returning from the naval base, Bishop de Lorraine immediately summoned the "Punishers" to make arrangements for the areas they would be responsible for after the martial law in Olawi.
As Loen's maritime colonial island, Olavi Island is not small in area, but its population is not large, so the Church of Storms has not deliberately strengthened its power here.
Two teams of "Punishers", three "Level 2" sealed artifacts, and three Sequence 6 "Wind Scrollers", they can handle even if multiple pirate generals attack.
But fortunately, Olavi is not like Tuscat Island on the east side. There are not many pirates hiding here. After receiving orders from Bayam, some of them were cleared. After martial law, the port will also be blocked.
, no foreign pirates will enter.
Therefore, as far as St. Draco's Church is concerned, they only need to focus on several areas near the port where pirates may be hiding to prevent pirates from cooperating inside and outside.
"Engel is in charge of the area around the Sweet Lemon Bar. Although Bill Brando has formed some kind of adventurers' mutual aid alliance and is very close to the Governor's Mansion, the people in his alliance have bad records and they cannot be excluded.
There is collusion with pirates!”
When Bishop de Lorraine talked about the Governor's Palace, his beard seemed to stand up like an angry lion, which made Enge, the captain of the "Punisher" team who received the order, couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"This time is different from the past. Nast is crazy and wants to confront the navy. He can do anything at this time. Olavi is only less than two days' voyage from the Rossed Sea, and there are those scum who call themselves generals.
So when the critical moment comes, activate the sealed object immediately.
Although Joseph said that he would not let pirates enter the port, you should know the combat effectiveness of the Oravi Navy, especially when the elite forces have been transferred, we cannot completely trust him.
As for those soldiers and police..."
"boom"
The door to the room was pushed open, and a priest ran in and said:
"Mr. Bishop, the Governor's Palace sent someone to say that Bird Mustang, the 'Viscount of Fear', appeared near the Sweet Lemon Bar."
De Lorraine slammed the table and said:
"I knew there was something wrong with that guy Bilt. Engel, you and Badal immediately take out '2-73' and '2-197'. Bird Mustang is the 'Chaos Mentor' of Sequence 5 and has no seal.
We can't deal with him!"
…
High in the sky.
"let's start!"
Nast withdrew his gaze, the dark red in his eyes becoming more intense.
His figure suddenly became illusory, and then expanded, turning into a behemoth comparable to ancient giants.
He stretched out his right hand, and at some point a black metal object appeared in his palm, like a mole on his palm. Dots of gold and red on its surface wandered around irregularly, and after covering almost all of it, it returned to a silent black.
"boom"
He violently held his right hand, and his figure swelled up again, and his human appearance gradually disappeared, turning into a dark figure, purely like a shadow.
The air molecules around him seemed to have no idea how to move for a moment, and there was a brief chaos.
At this moment, Nast is no longer the "Crazy Mage" of Sequence 3, but the "Duke of Entropy" of Sequence 2.
He was not officially promoted to an angel. He just passed the "Entropy Bell" and took advantage of a certain loophole in the rules, allowing him to cross the level he had always dreamed of crossing in a short period of time.
It's just that he can't maintain this state for too long, otherwise he will completely lose control, just like being unable to control the incomplete form of a mythical creature, and will never recover.
When Nast spoke, Bernadette, who looked away according to her spiritual warning, took out the "0" level sealed item "Sage's Forelock" that she had prepared, and "embedded" it in the center of her forehead.
The diamond-like vertical eyes shone with pure light, giving Bernadette an unusually sacred and wise feeling, but also seemed rather cold and without warmth.
The dark red light in Nast's eyes, which had turned into a shadow-like creature, seemed to be real. Bernadette, who was wearing the "Sage's forehead ornament", was reflected in it, causing her body to become illusory at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The knowledge wanders in its illusory body.
Nast Jean Bernadette, who briefly reached the level of an angel, also took advantage of loopholes in the rules and became a "sage" for a short time, without having to worry about being penetrated, washed away, assimilated, or losing consciousness by various external information.
Knowing that she could not maintain this state for long, Bernadette stretched out her illusory right hand, and a stream of knowledge flowed out of her body and flew towards Olavi below.
…
When Engel and Badal, carrying two "Level 2" sealed artifacts, arrived near the "Sweet Lemon" bar, they found that everything was normal here. Even the soldiers and police in charge of the area looked at their sudden appearance in surprise.
Just when Engel realized something was wrong, he heard screams one after another. People around him raised their heads and looked at the sky, with frightened looks in their eyes.
A spinning wheel appeared in the sky, a huge spinning wheel, a huge but still growing spinning wheel.
It almost blotted out the sky and became as huge as Oravi.
The huge spinning wheel was dilapidated and dilapidated, as if it had been abandoned for countless years. Only the spinning wheel needle still emitted a cold metallic light, which reflected into the eyes of everyone in Oravi.
Engel's mouth was wide open and his eyelids were drooped. The red metal box containing "2-73" in his hand fell to the ground with a bang. The tender green liquid flowed out. A thick and powerful bear claw rolled out, under the stone slab.
Roots of green grass and vines sprouted out immediately, but they stopped growing after only three to five centimeters.
Fairy tale magic, "Sleeping Beauty".
This could originally make the enemy extremely tired and want to fall asleep, but after being "amplified" by Nast in the "Duke of Entropy" state, it can make everyone on the island fall into a deep sleep.
