The Praro region is located in the south of Feneport. It is a peninsula protruding into the violent sea. It is a traditional tourist area, but compared to Sevia in the Disi Bay in the northwest, it is too far south.
, the climate is hot, and only in winter will the number of tourists surge.
However, with the opening of new shipping routes, the Southern Continent was rediscovered, and the number of merchant ships increased. The port of Praro, a peninsula, was gradually developed. Of course, the number of pirates robbing merchant ships also increased, so Fenebo was stationed here.
There is a special maritime fleet, which is also the only two maritime forces in the kingdom.
Although Fusac invaded Loen and Feneport attacked Lunburg, the atmosphere of war did not feel on this peninsula. However, as the admiral, "Judge" Bellakos had already smelled the smoke of gunpowder.
smell.
After the war began, he was appointed as the military commander in the southern part of Feneport, and he was qualified to mobilize all armies along the southern coast.
It was just that the war was mainly concentrated in the northern direction of Lemberg. Only a week ago, this "law mage" and Martina of the Mother Earth Church attacked Luca Brewster of the Church of Knowledge and failed. Except for
Other than that, there is no extra action.
"General, an urgent telegram from Penion." The middle-aged adjutant in military uniform knocked on the door of Bellakos' office. "Three pirate ships attacked there, but the pirates left after discovering that Penion was prepared.
Yes. The major in charge followed your instructions and did not pursue it."
He glanced at the three piles of telegrams on the table. The tall and powerful "Arbiter" with bulging muscles did not speak. He reached out to take the telegrams, glanced at them casually, and put them together with the highest pile of telegrams.
His blue eyes showed no emotion, just like his name spread in the extraordinary world, he would ruthlessly judge everything.
"Penion did a good job. Pay them back and pay attention to the pirates' secondary attacks and night attacks."
"Yes, General." The middle-aged adjutant stood at attention and saluted, then turned and left the office.
Bellakos lowered his head, picked up the gold-plated pen, and continued to write something. After a while, two pieces of paper were filled with writing. When he reached for the third piece of paper, he frowned slightly and looked up at the door.
The middle-aged adjutant holding the telegram appeared again, looking slightly more panicked than last time.
"General, urgent telegram from Alifalla, the Dusk has appeared and will leave after two rounds of exploratory shelling."
"Twilight... Andreevich?"
Bellakos, who was of Fusac descent, murmured in a low voice while picking up the pen cap, snapping it shut and putting it back into the wooden pen holder.
"Notify school-level officers and above that there will be a meeting in the conference room in half an hour."
"Yes, General."
Before the middle-aged adjutant could turn around and leave, the figure of the "Judge" had disappeared behind the desk.
…
"Good afternoon, Your Lady Martina."
Wearing an olive green admiral's uniform, Belacos approached the farm behind the Church of Santa Mia and gave a slight nod to Archbishop Martina, who was breaking corn.
"Good afternoon, General Belacos." Matilda, who was dressed as a country peasant woman, was carrying a basket with more than half of the corn in it. "Please wait for me for a moment."
Bellakos nodded and stood there watching Matilda busy in the cornfield without any intention of stepping forward to help. This was a way for the clergy of the Mother Earth Church to experience the teachings of the Mother Goddess.
After Martina filled the basket with the broken corn and poured all the corn on the cement floor on the other side, she took off her coat, revealing the brown clergy robe underneath, and said to Belacos apologetically:
"Sorry to keep you waiting for so long, what can I do?"
"There have been pirate attacks on the Praro Peninsula in the past few days. The Archbishop should have received messages from churches around the world, right?" Bellakos followed Martina into the church.
"I know about this, is there any problem?" Martina took off her headscarf, revealing her long, smooth and thick black hair. "Isn't this a time when pirates are active?"
In addition to robbery, pirates are mainly engaged in smuggling business. Now that the Praro Peninsula has entered the tourist season, there will naturally be more smuggling, and they will also make a fortune along the way.
"But now there is a war, and the 'Twilight' has also appeared in Alifalla."
"'Demon Hunter Admiral'?" Martina held the turban, turned around and looked at Belacos, thought for two seconds and then nodded, "I understand what you mean, what do you want to do?"
"Let the 'Harvester' cooperate with my army to resist the pirates."
Like other orthodox churches, the Church of the Mother Goddess also has its own team of extraordinary people called "Harvesters". However, compared to the "Nighthawks" and "Punishers", the power is not that great. This is largely because
It's because of the teachings of Mother Earth.
However, as a high-level general, Belacos knew that this was also because there were some problems within the Church of the Mother Earth, which made them rarely take the initiative to involve themselves in political, military and other issues. This was certainly a problem for the royal family of Castile.
Although this is a good thing, to a certain extent, this also makes Fenebaud's style tend to be conservative and not aggressive in external affairs.
The biggest manifestation is that Feneport's navy is the weakest among the four countries, and its colonies are almost non-existent. In addition, after the war began, the Church of the Earth Mother's desire to participate in the war was not strong.
"No problem, I will issue the corresponding order."
"Then I'll take my leave first."
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, "Judge" Bellakos did not hesitate and said goodbye directly and left.
When he returned to his office, he found that his adjutant was already pacing back and forth anxiously holding a telegram.
"Where was the attack again?"
When the middle-aged adjutant saw the sudden appearance of Bellakos, his face was filled with anxiety and surprise, and he hurriedly said:
"General, Admiral Pedro called, the Black Emperor appeared in Monasik, and Bird Mustang, the Dread Viscount, led some pirates to attack there."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Nast!"
Bellakos, with his high nose and deep eyes, suddenly enlarged his blue eyes. He reached out to grab the telegram and glanced at it. A solemn expression appeared on his face without much expression:
"Now there's trouble!"
Admiral Pedro is the military commander in charge of the western part of Feneport. Like Bellakos, he controls another naval fleet of the kingdom. However, Feneport's naval strength is not strong, so before the "Judge"
Only then did he give an order to prohibit pursuit in case he was ambushed.
If it was limited to the previous pirate attacks, then there would be no problem at all with the existing strength. Even a strong man at the level of a pirate general could protect the surrounding security. But with the emergence of the "King of the Five Seas", then
This means that Feneport's existing coastal forces cannot achieve the purpose of protection.
In addition to high-sequence power, Nast also has a terrifying appeal that can attract a large number of pirates to follow him. This is the trouble that Belacos said.
Although the progress of Feneport in Lundborg is not as smooth as expected, it is still within the acceptable range. The actions of Ma Xi and Segal are completely unexpected. In the past few days, Belakos and other high-level military officials are discussing the mobilization
The troops moved northward and attacked the central and southern countries at the same time.
Now, I'm afraid this idea will be shelved.
…
"Lun has hired a group of pirates to harass the coast of Feneport." Rawls held his "Black King" in his hands, a little hesitant, and he didn't have many chess pieces left.
Archbishop Bernhard, who was sitting opposite the chessboard, scratched his heavy bags under his eyes with his index finger, feeling a little puzzled:
"But if the Feneport navy can't attack, can't it defend?"
"It is said that Roen spent a lot of money."
"Then our pressure will be less." Bernhard looked at the chess game that he was about to win, but there was no joy at all on his face. "The situation in Lundborg is very bad, and Feneport's preparations are sufficient.
, the geographical location we originally relied on did not play a very good role, otherwise Ganoda would not have fallen so quickly if we were prepared."
"Not to mention that Lundborg's strength itself is much weaker than Fenebaud. Even if the two sides are equal in strength, it is possible to cause the current situation." Rawls hesitated, put down the "Black King", and still had no choice.
Dui Zi.
Bernhard, who was wearing a clerical soft hat and a plain white robe, raised his head, looked at Rawls who was concentrating on the chess game, and frowned slightly:
"There's nothing we can do about it. We haven't participated in a war for more than a hundred years. We are at a huge disadvantage in this regard."
He understood the meaning of what Rawls just said. In a chess game where both sides are almost equal, the player who is not strong enough will be defeated miserably, not to mention the fact that he has to hand over pieces.
"Then let's change the commander."
Rawls took the "black bishop" two steps diagonally to avoid the opponent's "knight". He almost forgot that there is no restriction on the lame knight's leg in Intis chess.
"Who to choose? If there was anyone, they would have been chosen long ago." Bernhard's slender eyes widened slightly, "There were restrictions in the terms of the previous alliance, and it was impossible to choose a Marxist to command Lundborg's army.
"
"As long as they are not from Ma Xi or Sehgal, that's fine, right?"
Rawls smiled and looked up at Archbishop Berthard, who was frowning and thinking across from him. The terms stipulated that the armies of various countries could only be commanded by the commander-in-chief of each country, but if Sauron Einhorn Medici was possessed, he would also
It is equivalent to skipping this restriction.
After thinking for a while, he still couldn't figure out what Rawls was thinking. Bernhard had no choice but to sigh helplessly, played chess quickly, and drove Rawls to a dead end in just a few moves, and left the palace with a smile.
.
Looking at the "black king" on the chessboard with no way to retreat, Rawls shook his head helplessly and began to arrange the chess pieces.
Sure enough, playing according to the rules, I am not a qualified chess player at all. Outside the rules is my home court.
Before finishing arranging the chess pieces, he frowned and looked to the side, Alicia's tall figure appeared, with a somewhat complicated expression on her face.
"What happened?"
Rawls put down the chess pieces and quickly stood up. His eyes became dark. The "Chaos Hunter"'s "Hunting Ground" ability was activated, and he could remotely sense Delina Alicia in the distant room. Although she was no longer what she used to be.
, like a wax figure, but such an expression is rarely seen.
After confirming that there was nothing wrong with Delina, he looked away.
"Elder Christo has passed away." Alicia's dark gray eyes were slightly sparkling.
"died?"
Rawls was stunned for a moment. Although he had not met Elder Christo a few times and had few conversations, he knew to some extent that the other person was not in a very good condition. He had previously asked Elder Hristo what to pay attention to in the "Chaos Hunter" promotion ceremony.
Only then did we realize that there was something wrong with Christo's promotion, which affected his body and spirit.
"I understand, just wait for me."
No longer packing up the chess pieces, Rawls strode out of the garden. As King Ma Xi now, he could not leave at will, as that would cause turmoil.
…
Deep in the Honakis Mountains, in the room of Elder Christo.
The dead "Chaos Hunter" was lying quietly on the bed, still wearing some black robes similar to those of a wizard. His long hair and beard were like dead grass in winter, without any life. The loose skin on his face was a little pale, and his eyes were pale.
His eyes were closed tightly, and his two skinny hands were placed on his lower abdomen.
Elder Laigat, wearing a brown sweater and an old coat, was sitting on a chair nearby. Under his long and drooped eyebrows, his eyelids were drooped, and the criss-crossing wrinkles on his face seemed to be deeper.
Rawls, who came with Alicia, stopped when he saw this and stood outside the bedroom door.
Elder Laigat raised his head and looked at the two people who arrived first. An ugly smile appeared on his lips, and he stood up slowly, but did not speak.
Alicia looked at Elder Christo lying on the bed, pursed her lips, walked into the bedroom, and came to the bed. Rawls also sighed and followed behind, exchanging glances with Elder Laigat.
, and left the room together.
"Elder Christo is the one who is more concerned about Alicia in the clan..." On the path outside the house, Laigat's voice was a little low, "After all, scrollers are both envied and ostracized in the clan."
Alicia has not told Rawls this, but he can see to some extent that the lack of humanity may be said to be the influence of divinity, but it doesn't make sense if he doesn't even have an expression.
"Elder Christo is..."
"He can no longer hold on. The problems with the promotion ceremony have affected his body and spirit. Although he can continue to hold on, he may not be able to control himself in the end."
There is a high probability that they will lose control... Rawls said silently, as the Extraordinary's body ages, even if he digests the magic potion, it will cause a certain burden and impact on the spirit, and it is easy to lose control. This phenomenon is most common among low-sequence wild Extraordinary people.
Yes, if you have knowledge in this area, you will take the initiative to end your life at a certain stage in the end to avoid turning into a monster.
He didn't say much, just a few words of comfort.
Two or three minutes later, Alicia walked out of the room, her expression returning to that of a wax figure.
"Okay, you go ahead! There will be demigods from the clan coming later." Laigat waved his hand. Only the demigods of the Tamara family knew about Rawls's identity. As for the identity of King Ma Xi,
Only the two elders and Alicia knew.
Rawls and Alicia did not persist and left the Tamara Family Valley.
Looking at the two people disappearing, Laigat raised the corners of his mouth and moved his gaze towards the family secret room where the sealed artifacts were stored.
