The man's hard-lined face was as gloomy as the sky before a rainstorm. His eyes changed from light blue to iron black. After looking around, he locked in a direction and turned into a huge flame spear again, cutting through the sky and disappearing into the sea and sky.
The connection point.
Just leave like that?
Above the gray fog, Klein couldn't believe the scene that had just happened. He fetched a gold coin from the pile of debris, tossed it up and fell into his hand, face up. The other party had indeed left.
Although he didn't understand the anticlimactic behavior of the "Hunter" path demigod, and even thought it was a bit funny, Klein's expression became more solemn, and he looked worriedly at the "Immortal King" fleet that reappeared after the white smoke dissipated.
The two parties are obviously not together. The "Hunter" demigod came for this fleet, but now that the other party has retreated without a fight, it is probably because there is a demigod hiding in the fleet and scared the other party away.
But just now it was clear that lightning struck and rolled up a hurricane. This should be a power belonging to the "storm" field. How could it be related to the "Immortal King"?
Looking at the "Poseidon Scepter" in his hand, Klein compared the scene when he used it with what happened just now, and quickly discovered that something was wrong. Even if there was a "Sea King" hidden in the pirate fleet, he would never take action.
That's right, the sky was clear just now, without even a single dark cloud.
He lowered the screen again and saw the pirate ship, which was no less than a battleship. The pirates raised the sails again, and the white smoke from the chimney became thicker, as if the scene just now had not happened. At this time, they
The quality displayed was much better than that of the Loen navy soldiers when Klein commanded the naval battle as Aemilius.
Either it is the influence of extraordinary abilities, or it is a group of veterans... Klein's heart became more and more solemn. No matter which one it is, it means that the support Agaritu has received is not small, which is quite impressive for Ms. "Hermit".
Not a good news.
But I don't know if it was related to the anticlimactic attack by the demigod just now, or if this pirate fleet had no intention of plundering in the first place, and ignored the passenger ship where Klein was sitting, and continued to move forward.
Are you going to West Balam?
Due to the violent sea, there are very few routes to the Southern Continent. Klein has seen the route chart. His ultimate target for selling arms is Mesanyes in West Balam, and he holds the "Poseidon Scepter".
He also has strong judgment in this area.
The area of the Southern Continent is no less than that of the Northern Continent, but the richer areas are all under colonization, especially the central and northern parts of the Southern Continent. Only the dense rainforest areas are too difficult to develop and have not been occupied. In addition, it is relatively
The fringe areas lack manpower and are occupied by the Spiritual Religion Group or the Rose School of Thought.
As for the southernmost tip of the Southern Continent, both in terms of resource abundance and difficulty of development, Loen, Intis, and Feysac chose to give up.
However, in comparison, Loen and Intis were the main colonizers of the Southern Continent. Feneport has not been very interested in this aspect, and its military strength cannot compete with the other three countries. Feysac, on the other hand, is located in the northern part of the country.
The northernmost part of the continent, coupled with its vast territory, has always had little investment in the southern continent, and the colonial area is not large.
Loen's main colony and center of gravity has always been in East Balam, but its power in West Balam is also equivalent to Intis. The latter occupies most of the northern area, and the former is in the central area. They are in constant conflict with each other, so there are
People like Mesanyes exist.
Of course, this is just what is shown on the map. In fact, for the colonial areas, whether it is Loen or Intis, all they can occupy are ports, mines, core cities, etc., and the rest of the areas are only under symbolic rule.
The fleet of the "Immortal King" consists of thirty ships. It is huge and the sea is not land. Whether it is food, water, bullets or artillery shells, it must be replenished, but almost all ports that can accommodate such a large fleet are occupied.
Loen and Intis occupy.
Not to mention replenishing resources, even if they are close to those ports, the naval fleets of Loen and Intis will attack immediately.
What exactly does Agaritu want to do? Although the official plan is to make a profit, if you think that this can be ignored, then it is definitely impossible.
And the "Hunter" demigod just now should be an Intis person, but it doesn't look like an official Intis person. Is he a senior member of the "Conqueror Legion"? Or a person from the "Iron-Blooded Cross"
?
Klein rubbed the "Poseidon Scepter" in his hand, and felt that his head was filled with water. There were too many things involved, including pirates, navy, Loen, Intis, Rose School, "Hunter", and West Balan.
...Suddenly, his body froze and he suddenly straightened his back.
"hunter"?
"Red Angel" evil spirit?
Ince Zangwill!
The densely packed spider web of thoughts in his mind instantly disappeared, leaving only the face of Ince Zangwill.
If it is really him, then the lightning and hurricane just now can be explained clearly, and the sudden appearance and sudden departure of the "Hunter" demigod can also be reasonably explained.
The "Red Angel" evil spirit is very thirsty for the extraordinary characteristics of the "Hunter" path. For her personality, only the characteristics of the demigod level can satisfy it. However, the demigods of this path often stay with the army.
It is extremely difficult to hunt them down.
The "Hunter" demigod just now obviously does not look like an official demigod, otherwise he would never appear here alone, and such a person is the best prey for the "Red Angel" evil spirit. But the reason for being possessed by her is
The characteristics of S. Zangwill and "0-08" may not satisfy the "Red Angel" evil spirit, which is why Mr. Azik and the captain can lock him.
The "Hunter" demigod might be worried about his own safety, or he might want to completely catch the person who provoked him. Without an army, he aimed at Agaritu's fleet. As long as there is an army,
Help, it was unrealistic for the "Red Angel" evil spirit to obtain the characteristics when there was interference from Ince and "0-08", so it decisively created lightning and hurricanes.
Under this threat, the "Hunter" demigod would naturally choose to give up if he did not want to be attacked from both sides.
Klein took a deep breath. All of this was his guess. It was extremely difficult to verify. Without a medium, and the interference caused by the "Red Angel" evil spirit and "0-08", even divination would not be ideal.
the result of.
But... he lowered his head, and a parchment portrait appeared in his hand. On it was a man wearing a white shirt, with a high nose bridge, deep-set eye sockets, light blue eyes, and slightly curly brown hair.
The lines are hard and the chin is slightly raised, giving a feeling of looking down on everyone.
Mr. "Emperor" should know this demigod from the "Hunter" path.
…
"Dear Mr. Fool, please tell Mr. World that that person is Tony Twain of the Iron-Blooded Cross. He is the 'War Bishop' of Sequence 3 of the 'Hunter' Path. He has been active in Intis. Half a year ago,
Appearing in the Southern Continent, it seems that he has become the person in charge of the Iron-Blooded Cross Society in the Southern Continent."
"I see."
The gray fog in front of his eyes dissipated. Rawls pinched his brows and walked slowly behind the desk. He looked through the pile of information piled on it. At the top was a portrait of "War Bishop" Tony Twain. On it was
Densely marked handwriting.
He put Tony Twain's information aside, and the next one was a portrait of a Fusac man with a thick beard, with the same note next to it:
"Schmidt Einhorn, Sequence 4 'Iron-Blooded Knight', Commander of the Feysac Empire's Balam Fleet, Admiral..."
There were about seven or eight pieces of information in Rawls' hands, some of which were from the "Hunters" demigods located in the Southern Continent. After the "Ghost Empire" might appear there, he immediately asked Selt to help him adjust the information.
Read additional relevant information.
Although the "weather warlock" who calls himself Trunsoest told herself that what she needs is a direct descendant of the Einhorn family, but what is the difference between the words of a "hunter" and the words of a "thief".
Therefore, in addition to the "Hunter" demigod, the information in Rawls's hand also includes information about the "Arbiter" demigod, the "Lawyer" demigod and the "Witch" demigod active in the Southern Continent. MI9 has no relevant records.
.
What he is now worried about is no longer whether the level of the ritual is enough, but that the difficulty of his promotion ritual is too high and he cannot complete the set goals.
Klein, oh Klein, no matter where you go, you won't be safe anywhere!
But since this guy has met Tony Twain, he must have also discovered Ince Zangwill... Rawls flipped through the information in his hand, and he could understand why the archbishop who defected from the Church of the Night chose Tony Twain.
Tang En.
The information in his hand shows that among the "Hunter" demigods active in the Southern Continent, Tony Twain has the least difficulty in dealing with it. Without an army that can be commanded by the opponent, his own abilities cannot be fully utilized.
.
But without Rawls as a factor, Ince Zangwill just used Tony Twain as a cover, and the actual target was Yin Liya, the "Eye of the Goddess" of the Church of the Night, but the current situation is uncertain.
The "Red Angel" evil spirit, the "Weather Warlock" who calls himself Trunsoest, "0-08", Adam... He was not surprised by what happened in the end.
Shaking his head, Rawls turned to the next portrait and was a little surprised when he saw more labels on the side than Tony Twain, a member of the Iron Cross who never concealed his identity.
He has silver beard and hair, slender eyebrows, soft facial contours, and few wrinkles. He looks only in his fifties. However, the information nearby shows that Count Lafitte is 267 years old this year, and he is also a "war veteran".
bishop".
This earl became famous earlier than Emperor Russell. According to time calculation, he was already a member of the "Legion of Conquerors" when Russell crossed over. In the process of Intis frequently launching wars with the outside world, although
Although he lost more and won less, Lafitte rose all the way up. By the time the Sauron royal family's rule was on the verge of collapse, he had been promoted to demigod.
At that time, Count Lafitte and "Son of Steam" Russell were the two most prestigious people in the country. Judging from the information of MI9, the former should be supported by the Church of the Eternal Sun.
However, no one expected that the Sauron family would collapse so quickly. Count Lafitte, who was commanding troops at the time, had no time to react. Russell calmed down the chaos as a colonel. After a series of compromises and balances, Inti
The Republic of Sri Lanka was established.
Russell became the consul of the Republic, and Lafitte could only remain his general. However, because of the support of the Eternal Sun Church, he was not liquidated.
Under Russell's rule, Intis developed rapidly, reformed laws, encouraged inventions, and started the industrial revolution. This not only reversed the increasingly difficult plight of civilian life caused by the Sauron family's frequent wars with foreign countries, but also through a small but efficient war.
, bring Lundborg, Maxi, and Sehgal under protection, and let the three countries of the Northern Continent bow their heads.
In this situation, unless he surrendered to Russell, he would be squeezed out. Lafitte naturally chose the latter. He even had contacts with the ruined Sauron family and was successfully promoted to the "War Bishop" in Sequence 3.
". Even though the Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun was unwilling to allow the Church of Steam to continue to increase its influence, he was actually safe and sound.
His waiting was not wasted. After Russell became emperor, he created a lot of trouble for the emperor. However, by this time, Russell had fallen into "faintness". Even his cronies could raise a butcher knife, let alone
What about Lafitte?
If it weren't for the opening of new sea routes and the need for the Church of the Eternal Sun and the Church of Steam to preach in the Southern Continent, Lafitte and the "Legion of Conquerors" might not even be eligible for exile.
More than a hundred years later, no matter what Intis became, Lafitte continued to be his local emperor in the Southern Continent. He only suffered a lot at the hands of the former king of Loen Kingdom, "The Strong" William VI.
Unable to maintain too many colonies in Intis, they chose to take the initiative to avoid them.
Perhaps it was for this reason that Count Lafitte, known as "Cawwinla" in the Southern Continent, changed his past attitude towards the local indigenous people, chose a soft policy, and began to allow mixed-race children to enter the "Legion of Conquerors".
Twenty years ago, the Bumiputeras were even approved to be selected.
Although this move aroused the opposition of many people within the "Legion of Conquerors", Lafitte once again raised the butcher's knife and became the "Kawunla" of the Intis people.
Now that the "Legion of Conquerors" with local indigenous people as a supplementary source of troops has got rid of some of the restrictions from Intis, coupled with the full development of the resources of the southern continent, now Count Lafitte only needs the support of the Intis navy.
enough.
Losers are losers!
Rawls looked at this information and sighed. In the history of Intis that he studied in school, the last two hundred years were the focus, but the number of mentions of Count Lafitte was pitiful. If it weren't for the other party
He is still commanding the "Legion of Conquerors" in the Southern Continent, so there is no doubt that he is a character who has been brushed aside.
