"It means you didn't complete any of the orders I gave you? And you lost more than 2,000 soldiers?"
"Your Majesty the High Priest, you can't blame me. We were close to capturing a large battleship, but humans found a monster from nowhere. Not only were the soldiers unable to cause harm to it, but they also suffered heavy casualties. I have to give the order.
retreat."
"What about the information? How many ships and armies do humans have? Are there any dragon knights? You don't know any of them?"
The bloodline warriors who had just launched a tentative attack with the leading force of the Sea Tribe had now withdrawn with their men to join the main army. After discovering that the human army was out to sea, the High Priest and the Sea King ordered at the same time to stop all those who were having fun on the Human Tribe's territory.
The Hai Clan army returns to support.
Because this bloodline warrior, who was as powerful as the peak human knight, was the closest, after receiving the order from the high priest, he led his more than 20,000 warriors to launch a tentative attack first. Originally, his mission was not only to harass and hinder.
The actions of the human fleet, as well as the task of detecting the enemy's situation.
However, this bloodline warrior was obviously not a good commander. He started attacking as soon as the flank came into contact. He wanted to deal with a few ships first, but he didn't even understand the basic situation after the Ultimate Hydra dared to run away.
A lot of manpower was lost.
"this…"
Facing the furious high priest, the bloodline warrior did not dare to continue to explain. He lowered his head silently and did not speak, as if he was resigned to what he was dealt.
Looking at the bloodline warriors who bowed their heads in silence in front of them, the high priest suddenly showed a cruel smile. These self-proclaimed noble bloodline warriors did not take the priests seriously in the past...
"How does that sea monster you mentioned compare to my baby?"
During the questioning, a giant ocean beast nearly forty meters long floated up from the dark deep sea. The giant beast's eyes were more numerous than lanterns. When it entered the sea tribe's team, even if it knew
This giant beast has been subdued by the high priest, but the surrounding sea people still look frightened, and the timid ones have even retreated some distance.
This giant beast is called a deep-sea giant whale. It is a natural enemy to the sea tribe. Every year, many sea tribes are devoured by the deep-sea giant whale as food. The sea tribe has no way to deal with the deep-sea giant whale.
Try your best to avoid and dodge. Fortunately, the number of deep-sea giant whales is very small. Otherwise, with their number, the sea tribe might be eaten and exterminated.
I just don’t know why, but the giant deep-sea whale that originally regarded the sea people as food and avoided them suddenly had a war beast that became the high priest. It obeyed the high priest’s orders, which greatly increased the high priest’s prestige.
Overshadowing the original top master of the sea clan, His Majesty the Sea King.
"Of course, the high priest is stronger than the beast. That sea monster is nothing compared to the giant whale in the deep sea."
The bloodline warrior who originally had his head lowered looked up and saw two eyes of the giant deep-sea whale staring at him that were bigger than lanterns. He was trembling a little as he spoke. However, his words were not meant to be complimentary. At least judging from the size of the high priest's head,
The Deep Sea Giant Whale is much larger than the Ultimate Hydra, and has a huge advantage in size.
With the strength of the deep-sea giant whales, if they attack the human fleet from the bottom of the sea, some smaller warships may be directly overturned. This thing is the absolute overlord of the ocean, but they usually are not interested in human ships.
, will not even easily float to the shallow sea to have too many interactions with humans, and its presence among humans is not strong, but now it is not certain after being subdued by the high priest.
"Then how dare you come back and face me if you don't dare to face that sea monster?"
"Master High Priest, I..."
The high priest suddenly sounded horrified. Just as the bloodline warrior was about to explain something, he saw that the terrifying deep-sea whale in front of him had opened its mouth, revealing its jagged fangs.
"Lord High Priest, spare your life!"
However, the high priest just stared at him indifferently. The blood warrior felt that the sea water around him began to surge. He could no longer stabilize his body and began to unconsciously move closer to the ferocious mouth in front of him. That was the giant deep-sea whale.
The action of eating, because the distance was close enough, the strong current had completely restricted his movements. Compared with the strength of the blood warriors and the deep sea whales, he had no possibility of resistance.
Seeing the indifference on the face of the high priest across from him, the bloodline warrior knew that it was useless to ask for help from him, so he turned to the other half of Neptune, who was not far away.
"Your Majesty the Sea King, save me!"
At this time, the Sea King was surrounded by a group of royal guards and patrol guards, looking at the situation here, with a surprised expression on his face. He probably did not expect that the high priest would directly order the deep-sea whale to swallow this
They are called bloodline warriors, and the output ratio of bloodline warriors is much lower than that of human knights.
To become a bloodline warrior, the Sea Tribe must first have a noble bloodline, that is, possess the so-called Poseidon bloodline. Only then can they have the opportunity to complete the awakening of power seeds, and then further train to have combat power comparable to that of human knights, and the best among them can reach the rank of Grand Knight.
With combat power, there may be only one bloodline warrior among hundreds of thousands of Sea Clan. This ratio is quite low. It can be said that every bloodline warrior is the backbone of Sea Clan. Even if he makes a big mistake, he will not be executed easily, not to mention this
A bloodline warrior who is about to be swallowed by a giant whale in the deep sea is still a bloodline warrior with great potential, and is very likely to become a high-level bloodline warrior with the same strength as the human knight.
"Your Majesty the High Priest, he has not made any big mistakes. His sins will not lead to death. Let him pay for his sins and make meritorious deeds."
The Sea King on the side still couldn't help but tried to persuade him, but the giant deep-sea whale not only did not stop moving, but seemed a little annoyed with the other party's resistance. He swam forward and devoured the bloodline warrior in one mouthful. The bloodline warrior who had been struggling just now seemed to be resisting.
He was swallowed into the belly of the giant deep-sea whale without even uttering a scream. The surrounding sea warriors showed a horrified expression, and looked at the high priest with even more awe.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, my baby is a little too hasty."
After saying that, the high priest looked over the giant deep-sea whale with a smile on his face and stroked the giant beast affectionately. Then he looked at the awed eyes of the sea people around him and nodded with satisfaction.
The expression on Neptune's face at this time was extremely ugly. He sentenced a bloodline warrior to death. According to the rules, he had to nod his head before the execution could be carried out. Now, in front of him, the high priest dealt with a man who, in his opinion, had not made a big mistake.
Bloodline warrior, this is a slap in the face in front of everyone and a blow to his prestige. Or maybe this is the original purpose of the high priest. Ever since the high priest subdued this deep-sea giant whale through some unknown method, he has become increasingly reluctant to let him go.
It's in my eyes.
Looking at Neptune's ugly face, the high priest showed no signs of nervousness at all, but continued:
"I think it's okay to kill such a person. He has lost so many soldiers and dared to come back before completing the tasks I assigned him. He must be executed. Otherwise, everyone will follow his example in the future. How can you and I carry out our orders? Do you think so?"
? His Majesty the King of the Sea."
Are you doing this to carry out your order? Neptune looked at the ferocious deep-sea whale not far away. Neptune could only complain silently in his heart. Even with his earth-level strength, he was not good enough in front of the deep-sea whale. He really wanted to tear him apart.
If he loses his face, the outcome of facing the deep-sea giant whale will not be much better than the bloodline warrior just now. In the end, the Sea King could only nod with difficulty and chose to compromise again.
"Next, continue to gather forces. Humans are trying to get closer to the clam field. This time we don't want to let another human go..."
"Yes, Your Excellency the High Priest!"
The surrounding ordinary priests and high-ranking priests who were originally subordinate to the high priest first responded to the high priest's order. After these priests displayed their strength and accumulated prestige during this period, they also gathered many middle- and upper-level sea clan military merits. With their leadership,
Soon a large number of Sea Tribe officers came to carry out the orders of their high priests. Finally, a large number of wavering Sea Tribes also followed suit out of a herd mentality. Only the hardcore members of the Sea King family were still around the Sea King and did not take action.
It's just that their number is a bit embarrassing.
"What are you still waiting for? Humans are trying to attack our clam farm. Do as the high priest said."
"Uh, it's His Majesty the King of the Sea."
…
Nanyang, human expedition fleet.
Since the brief battle that night, there has been no movement from the Hai Clan for two full days, and the fleet has been sailing peacefully for three days.
There were not many people on the decks of each ship. Except for the necessary ship operators, most of the soldiers were resting. Because the sea tribe would always choose to launch attacks in the dark when they had a better view, Pare ordered all the soldiers to try their best to attack in the dark.
Rest during the day to conserve energy, and try to stay alert at night.
"Brother-in-law, the Hai Clan hasn't shown up for four days. I feel a little uneasy."
Pare's worry is not unreasonable. Since the Sea Clan has discovered them and has taken no further action, it can only mean that the Sea Clan is still gathering troops. Judging from this preparation time, the longer the wait, the more likely the Sea Clan will be to prepare.
The more sufficient it is, the more powerful the troops gathered will naturally be.
"Um…"
Richard dealt with Parley in a perfunctory manner, and his mind was still thinking about an officer from the Kingdom whom he had met by chance in the past two days.
A young vice-captain of the Navy. This naval captain may be considered a figure among ordinary people, but he is definitely not someone that Richard would take so seriously. However, the situation would be different if he had something to do with the system.
This naval admiral named Paul is actually a system-certified indigenous hero, and has successfully opened up the port city power for Richard. Unfortunately, now he has to find a way to recruit Paul from the Kingdom Navy, and secondly, he has to find a place where he can be placed.
As for Port City, Port City is a special mod in Ying3li. It is relatively powerful overall. As long as it finds a place to place it and develop it, it will definitely drive a nail in the south for Richard.
"Your Highness Parley, after the war is over, can you part with your love and let General Paul serve under me?"
"Hey, brother-in-law, are you listening to me?"
"Well, listen, Paul's matter..."
Forget it, you are justified in forcing yourself. None of Parley's men dared to speak in such a perfunctory manner in front of Parley.
"Okay, isn't he just a deputy captain? After the battle, as long as he is willing to follow you, I will never stop him."
"That's good. What did you just say? Are the Sea Clan about to call?"
"It's only noon now. It's impossible for the Sea Clan to fight us during the day. The soldiers are still resting. What I'm worried about is at night. It's been four days and the Sea Clan should have almost assembled."
"Woo, woo, woo!"
Before Parley finished speaking, Richard heard a low and weak horn sound. This was a signal that the enemy had been discovered. However, the sea was windy and the waves were large and the ships were far apart. Not everyone had the strength of the earth.
Being able to have such good hearing, there is also a semaphore as an insurance measure.
For example, now, Pare didn't hear the horn sound. It was Richard who gave him a hint. He turned around and saw the flag bearer on the flagship of the 11th formation on the right wing. They were shouting flags - they were attacked by the Sea Tribe.
Attacked…
Parley's first action was to look at the sun high in the sky, doubting his own eyes. Then he called the messengers on the side and asked the flag bearers to send flags to each formation to prepare for battle...
