On the surface of the Great Ocean, Fulgrim stood alone and proudly on the deck of his flagship "Holy Sophia". His loyal bodyguards, the Phoenix Guards, stood far away, observing every move on the ocean.
The construction of the Saint Sophia took two and a half years from the beginning to its completion. Under the auspices of the Great Engineer of Haimen Pass, Jerrick Grimm, with the drawings designed by the Emperor himself, a large amount of manpower and material resources, and the full help of the Lizardmen,
This deep-sea behemoth took only two and a half years to be completed.
This ironclad ship is more than 150 meters long and 25 meters wide. It is powered by eight Dwarf steam boilers. It has a landing pad for a Dwarf rotor helicopter on the deck, which can carry two Dwarf rotor helicopters. On board the Saint Sophia
It is loaded with dozens of dwarf cannons, but the most powerful main gun is undoubtedly the Haimenguan Engineer.
The twin-mounted naval gun designed by Jerem - Grimnir's Iron Fist. The barrel of this heavy gun is made of obsidian. One shot is enough to blast through the hull of the Vampire Coast Fleet. Of course, because the artillery is relatively heavy,
The steering ability is not good, and the rate of fire is relatively slow. For Jerrick and Forgan, the artillery is only secondary.
Of course, pure men will have corner fights, side fights and gang fights!
The legion commander, who was as handsome as a god, stood on the bow of the ship and looked at the sea. The soldiers of the Ash Legion also went about their own business. There were only two dozen Phoenix Guards busy on the deck, counting the spoils and losses.
After reorganization, Fulgrim reorganized and split the Ash Legion into several troops. Some of them are also named after the legion, while others are only one battalion, as detailed below.
Captain of the Phoenix Guard, deputy leader of the Ash Legion, and Sanctuary strongman Fernando Pirazzo is responsible for commanding the First Army. The First Army is all composed of the most elite veterans, great swordsmen, and walking knights. The Phoenix Guard also
It was placed under the jurisdiction of the First Army, with 4,000 men under its jurisdiction.
The Sultan of the Sea, Master of the Golden Arcana, Beloved of the Djinn, and Immortal Caliph, the Golden Mage Karim is responsible for commanding the Arabi Army and the desert army he just recruited from Arabi. This army is composed of Arabi people.
, mainly composed of Araby spearmen, Araby scimitars, Araby archers, Araby musketeers, Araby camel cavalry and Araby knights, and even included an entire Araby
Arcane Wizards. After joining the Ashes Legion, Master Jin is now one of the most powerful sultans in Arabi. This time he returned to Arabi and not only attracted a group of Arabi arcane wizards to join the Ashes Legion, but also recruited
They arrived at a legendary elite group - the Janissary Legion, also known as the Sudanese Janissaries. These elites, dressed in red and wielding machetes and muskets, once left painful memories for the old world.
The Chasseur Corps is commanded by Ryan's uncle Julius. After several years of training and expeditions with Fulgen, Julius has become a qualified commander in blood and fire. Julius
Si is responsible for commanding most of the cavalry, ranging from heavy cavalry to light cavalry, but mainly light cavalry.
The Brotherhood of Grimm includes more than a hundred dwarves who followed the great engineer of Haimen Pass, Jerrick Grimm, to explore the new world. It also includes more than 500 human musketeers and hundreds of artillery pieces.
The third army was led by the wood elf princess Karona, with a total of five thousand people, including two thousand crossbowmen and archers.
The Fourth Army was led by former Kislev Marshal Yegorov, with a total number of 5,000 men, mainly including infantry and part of Kislev's hussars.
The Fifth Army and the Sixth Army were respectively led by the genetically modified Emperor's Children warrior Pedro from Estalia and the Imperial General Weidenfeller, who had surrendered to Fulgrim and offered his loyalty.
Stay in Lustria.
In addition, there is the Halfling New World Expedition, which is composed of a team of halflings led by Mutt Halfling Habib, and the "Cheka" special force formed by the Hussars General Felix.
Lev Davidovich, the former Chief Minister of the Interior of the Kislev Palace who also defected to Fulgen, nicknamed the Prophet, served as the general political commissar of the Ashes Legion. With the help of Fulgen, he established the "Honorable Successor Academy" to train
The political commissar, as well as the team of doctors trained by Hertwig van Hel and several novice demon hunters.
Nowadays, this Purple Phoenix has a strong army. His legion is full of talents, strong in combat effectiveness, and united. These people from all over the old world, with different races, different skin colors, and different beliefs are firmly united in Fulgen's big city.
Under the flag, I am willing to die for him,
The sea breeze was blowing and the ocean was overwhelming. The Saint Sophia was not sailing very fast. Fulgrim stood alone on the bow. The Primarch of the Emperor's Son was still recalling the previous war and a series of things.
Ryan sent him a prophet from the old world. This Mrs. Keesler once worked with the pirate king Captain Ross and knew how to enter the burial ship cemetery. That is Captain Ross's moondial. This moondial is hidden in
Captain Ross is located in a hidden treasure spot in the Great Ocean. This treasure spot is an island that has been hollowed out from the inside.
After receiving the news, Fulgrim did not rush to set off, but waited for the ship to be launched. It was not until three months ago that he finally led the army to set off towards the treasure spot.
Just near the treasure spot, the Ash Legion encountered an undead fleet, also trying to find Captain Ross's moondial. The Ash Legion and the undead pirates had a battle in the sea near the treasure spot, luring each other to the treasure spot.
The siege was completely destroyed, and then the moondial was successfully obtained.
, and from the mouths of these undead pirates, Fulgan guessed that perhaps the legendary undead pirate king, Count Noctilus, did not seem to be in the burial ship cemetery. He seemed to be leading the main army to plunder Arabi's coastal ports and
The Duchy of Bilibali in Estalia went.
A rare opportunity, Fulgrim immediately turned to the surprise attack on the Burial Ship Cemetery after getting the moon dial. The surprise attack was a great success. Fulgrim rushed back and forth, and according to Carona's description, he found the moon in the treasure chest of a broken undead pirate ship.
Sunfire Amulet of the goddess Lilith.
Now, all that is left is the mantra scroll that Asuryan, the Lord of the Phoenix, the high elf god, gave to his anointed one, Captain Kadron of the Phoenix Guard. Regarding this, Fulgrim knew that he had to go to the old world to join up with Ryan, because there was only Ryan
Established relatively stable communication channels and diplomatic relations with Gaojing.
Furthermore, Fulgen knew deeply that if you want to steal things under the eyes of the high-spirited gods, especially the Lord of the Phoenix Asuryan, you must have a mole. Only the fairy in the lake and the high-spirited moon goddess Lilith can be the one.
This mole.
Fulgrim was still thinking about everything. This was destined to be an extremely difficult task, even more difficult than a massacre.
The sea breeze blew, blowing Fulgrim's long silver hair, and he looked at the endless sea without saying a word, while behind him, the commanders of the Ash Legion gathered together.
Ryan's brother-in-law Julius is fully armed. In the past few years following Fulgrim, he has really grown up. Although he is still very gloomy and reticent, Julius has become a commander who can stand alone: "Guess
Guess, Pirazzo, what is our legion commander thinking about now?"
Fernando Pirazzo is now a strong man in the Sanctuary, and due to the genetic modification he received in the incubation tank, he is now over two meters tall. This old mercenary captain and current deputy commander and commander of the First Army
Fulgrim's deputy shrugged: "How do I know? I'm not a bug in his belly."
"Oh, my guess is that our legion commander wants to go somewhere and do something big!" The dwarf engineer Jerrick Grimm was extremely excited. He had never been so happy in his life.
, the entire Ash Legion signed a hundred-year employment contract and alliance with him, and the great engineer was able to show off all his ambitions: "Grimnir, who are we going to kill next?
"
"None of us will solve it. We have to go home, for you, for Commander Julius, for Commander Pirazzo, and for me too." The wood elf princess Carona also left.
When she came up, she was dressed in a leather outfit, leather jacket and leather trousers, with the wood elf's unique green leaf decoration and satin cloak. She had a wild beauty. Karona said coldly: "It is very dangerous to speculate on the thoughts of our legion commander.
.”
"Leaders come and go, but only the people remain forever." Prophet Tuo also appeared, and he said very seriously: "We should not focus on guessing what the legion commander will think, we have our own tasks."
"Mission? For example, fight back to Kislev and bombard the Ice Palace?" Pirazzo said sarcastically: "Fighting a civil war under the eyes of Chaos and in front of the barbarians? I want to say, Lev, yours
The idea is dangerous and unrealistic."
"If the time permits, why not?" Prophet Tuo didn't seem to be joking at all. He was always so rigid and serious: "The St. Sophia went along the upper reaches of the Linsk River, and its twin naval guns bombarded the Ice Palace.
This is something I have only dreamed of, provided conditions permit, and it is still far from the realization of my ideal, but at least we have a direction to work towards."
But after he finished speaking, the expression on Prophet Tuo's face became a little more friendly: "Of course, it would be better if the legion commander is willing to try my new fried chicken."
Speaking of fried chicken, everyone couldn't help drooling. Even Julius, who had the coldest personality, couldn't help but be a little greedy. He asked the prophet to hide in Sartusa for many years and spent a lot of time studying fried chicken.
His unique fried chicken recipe is loved by all the soldiers of the Ash Legion.
"Oh, suck on the original chicken!" Dwarf Engineer Jerick's eyes lit up and he licked his lips: "I have to admit, I really can't wait."
"Yes, Habi feels that the legion commander must be thinking about what to eat at night!" Habi, a halfling wearing a three-cornered hat and carrying a short bow and a slingshot made by Karona behind his back, excitedly ran on the deck.
He ran away: "I'm going to the kitchen to check out the ingredients. Which one of you wants to go with Habi?"
While everyone was still discussing, Golden Mage Karim walked up quickly from behind and walked to Fulgen's side: "The news about the legion commander has been confirmed."
"What's the situation?" Fulgrim's attention turned back from how to explain to Sanguinius that he had settled down anyway and how to please his nephew: "Did your illusion succeed?"
"Yes, it was successful." Master Jin nodded meaningfully: "I have confirmed that the undead in the burial ship cemetery suffered huge losses, and the few remaining conscious undead saw us.
I want them to see it.”
"For example, a group of enemies with phoenix emblems and phoenix guard patterns rushed in and took away the high-elves' holy objects?" Fulgrim smiled: "Well done, Karim."
"It is my honor to serve you, Legion Commander. In my hundreds of years of life, Karim, I have never seen such a leader. It is you who unite people from all over the world, people of different races and beliefs.
Together." Master Jin nodded: "If you allow it, in the future, even if the damn undead pirate is cut into two pieces by me, I still want to continue to work for you."
"You will, Karim, you are excellent, I am very confident in you." Fulgen nodded. The legion commander could see that Master Jin had something to say: "If you want to ask anything, just ask!"
"Legion Commander, I don't think you need to be like this to an elf... I mean, don't just stay with that elf." Master Jin carefully tried: "If allowed, I will come from Ala this time.
Bi has brought many beauties, most of them are only fourteen or fifteen years old, as long as you like..."
"Oh, forget it, Karim, we shouldn't focus on those things." Fulgen curled his lips helplessly: "Also, one Karona is enough for me, right?
, Karim, didn’t you say last time that you were going to perform the famous Arabiya music to celebrate this glorious victory? I can’t wait.”
"Yes, we are ready." Master Jin was very excited. He saluted and went down to make arrangements.
Fulgrim noticed that the Sudanese soldiers, the Arabi Janissary Yenicheri Legion, had gathered on the deck, holding musical instruments in their hands, and the elemental mages and arcane masters from Arabi Academy also all held
Staff, start preparing to play music.
"I seem to have heard Beauty Arabi?" As soon as Master Jin left, the wood elf princess Karona appeared. Her tone was strange: "So you like that kind?"
"...Karim is just asking casually." Fulgan had a headache when he saw the wood elf princess.
That time in Itaza, Karona finally agreed to Fulgrim's request and joined the Ash Legion, became Fulgrim's attendant and helped him train the longbowmen. Originally, all this was over, but she ended up getting along with Fulgrim.
A year later, Karona made a fuss and wanted to leave. The reason was that Fulgrim did not regard her as one of his own and the two parties did not conclude a "real contract".
The existence of Karona is very important to the Ash Legion. In the tropical rainforest environment, the soldiers desperately need such an excellent wanderer to provide sufficient concealment, survival, protection and archery guidance. Fulgrim took the initiative to retain her.
, as a result, Carona put forward a condition to him, a request that was easy to fulfill and only required Fulgrim to make a small sacrifice.
Fulgrim saw that Carona was adamant and would return to Athel Loren if she didn't agree, but he finally compromised.
Who knows that if there is a first time, there will be a second time, and if there is a second time, there will be a third time.
Fortunately, Master Jin and the others had already started playing at this time. On the St. Sophia, the Sudanese soldiers started their own performance. They blew the suona and the drum, and the wizards used their staffs to knock on the deck.
The ornament on the staff jingled.
"Deng~Deng~Deng~"
"Deng~Deng~Deng~"
Master Jin stood in front of everyone and was the first to start singing, with a rare hint of joy and pride in his tone: ", deden, naslin, baban!"
The Arabs sang military songs together.
",deden,naslin,baban!"
"Your ancestors, your grandfather, your lineage, your father."
"Always brave, desert people!"
"Thy armies have been famous throughout the ages."
"Your army has been famous throughout the ages~"
The melodious military music and elegant music from Arabi spread across the sea to distant places.
The ocean seemed to be boiling.
Fulgan closed his eyes and listened carefully. He liked listening to music the most.
