Wolf stood on the bow of the ship holding a battle ax, and the air was filled with salty water mist stirred up by the collision of waves. Looking far into the distance, a towering iron-gray fortress stood on the coast, with hundreds of constructed ballistae.
Stone-throwing golems and spell turrets stand high and low, splashing all kinds of attacks to the sky and sea.
This fortress, known as the "Garader Sea Guard", is located at the tip of a peninsula on the west coast of the mainland. Due to its special geographical location, a fortress and port were built here as early as seven or eight hundred years ago, specifically to guard the north and south.
Any country that wants to control a vast territory cannot ignore the fortress of "Garader".
In fact, since the "Garader Sea Guard" was built, this fortress has never been captured by force. The only times it changed hands were when the fortress defenders were defeated by hunger and disease and had to open the door and surrender.
But now, the "Galad Sea Guard", which claims to never fall, has to face an unprecedented test.
Wolf raised his eyes and saw that dark clouds stretching for more than ten miles covered the sky and blocked the sun. The rolling clouds were like a dark, sticky sea, and there were rumbles of thunder from time to time, which seemed to be accumulating unimaginable power.
"Tsk, what are you pretending to be? Hurry up and do it." Wolf complained in a low voice.
"Teacher, is that the Storm Palace of the Green Ring?"
Next to Wolf, there is the shorter Lello. In the past few years, he has been traveling abroad. He has shed his immaturity and grown into the appearance of a young man. He is wearing an ordinary mercenary leather armor with a long sword hanging from his waist. His appearance is not attractive.
Attention-grabbing, like Wolf's followers.
"What Storm Palace? That was the original 'Endless Storm of Revenge'. If not..." Wolf was about to say something, but seeing other people on the deck of the ship, he quickly changed the subject and said to Lai Luo: "Although the Green Ring
That group of people will use magic to suppress us, but when we land to attack the fortress later, there will definitely be many dangers. You stay with me and don’t get separated."
Lai Luo nodded in agreement. At this moment, he saw a thunder and lightning as thick as a giant tree in the dark clouds in the sky. Countless arcs branched out like tree crown branches and shot towards the coastal fortress, directly illuminating the dark and gloomy sea. The thunder was deafening.
The sound came, frightening the hearts of the crew members of hundreds of ships.
This huge fleet came from the Mutual Protection Alliance. After Xuan Weizi temporarily contained the offensive momentum of the Eastern Empire, the Mutual Protection Alliance was determined to participate in the siege of the Western Empire.
At the same time, the "Duke of the Heart" Olanso, who was in Evergreen City, officially called on all countries to jointly crusade against the evil and decadent Western Empire. The Kingdom of Vanua and the Kingdom of Jarnod in the Galad Continent responded at the same time.
Attack troops from the south and the north, advancing simultaneously by sea and land.
The United City-States located on the southern coast and the Dragon Kingdom further south also provided material assistance to the critical situation in the Central Empire. Even the Kingdom of Ansel in the New World sent scribes to the front line of the war to prevent
The advance of the undead army.
At sea, the Evergreen Chamber of Commerce dispatched almost all navigable ships, whether military or civilian, to participate in the mobilization and transportation of various materials and personnel. Even the Triton fish people in the sea sent countless large marine creatures to assist in transportation.
Raw materials and supplies urgently needed for various wars.
The "Duke of the Heart" gave an order, and a huge machine came into operation. Almost all the workshops in the Mutual Protection Alliance worked overtime to produce war materials. The troops of the Mutual Protection Alliance were also quickly assembled, and even reserve soldiers were recruited.
stand up.
When the Western Empire's blitzkrieg offensive slowed down and the two sides reached a stalemate, more than a hundred warships and 30,000 soldiers from the Mutual Protection Alliance came across the sea in mighty force.
Along with them, in addition to the priests of the Order of the Stars, the mages of the Tower of Pentagram, the spiritual warriors of the Golden Flower Society, and the Storm Palace of the Green Ring.
Now the Emerald Ring Sage can freely control the Storm Palace. This Druid's floating city can be deployed at any time to recreate the power of the original "Endless Vengeance Storm" and let the world witness the roar of nature.
Wolf and Lello led a team of berserkers as mercenaries to join the Mutual Protection Alliance army. He was originally wondering whether the generals of the Mutual Protection Alliance would treat their mercenaries as assault cannon fodder and use them as assault cannon fodder.
To consume the spell resources in the fortress?
As a result, the arrival of the Storm Palace almost crushed the "Galad Sea Guards" on the spot. Half of the buildings in the fortress were riddled with holes and were left in dilapidated condition by continuous lightning strikes, hailstones, and acid rain.
Before the soldiers on the fleet landed, the mages of the Tower of Pentagram took to the air to fight, using a large number of energy-shaping spells to bombard the coastal fortress. From a distance, the entire "Galad Sea Guard"
"Like a bonfire at the seaside, the water on the shore is reflected red and hot.
So when warrior soldiers like Wolf landed, there was not much serious resistance in the entire fortress, which made Wolf feel uncomfortable.
"Hey, Brother Wolf, are you sulking here because you didn't get the loot?" At this time, a group of soldiers came from a distance. They were all mercenaries Wolf had met during his past travels, but they have basically become regular soldiers now.
Wolf sat next to a collapsed house and wiped his axe. The soldiers said: "I didn't expect that after so many years, I would return to the Garad continent in this way. Many of us were sent to the New World as slaves back then. I
Remember Brother Wolf, you are about the same, right?"
"Yeah." Wolf responded casually, raised his eyes and asked, "What? Are you planning to come back for revenge?"
"Hey! Brother Wolf, you are really right!" All the soldiers in the group smiled: "We have already inquired about it. There is a landlord's manor about ten miles southeast from here. We plan to go there to borrow money.
Order some food."
"Borrow?" Wolf didn't understand what they meant, so he said: "I remember that the 'Duke of Mind' promulgated a new military discipline order two years ago, one of which strictly prohibited plundering and harassing civilians. I am a hired employee
Army, no one cares about whatever you do, you are serious soldiers, are you not afraid of being severely punished by military discipline? Your life is better now than before, there is no need to take risks, right?"
"Of course you can't mess around in the Mutual Protection Alliance." A soldier said with a ferocious face: "But I just can't help it. Back then, most of the dozen or so members of my family were forced to death by these wealthy landlords! I finally managed to get back today. It must be...
We must take revenge on them severely! Brother Wolf, do you want to come with us?"
"I'll forget it." Wolf put the ax back on his back, clapped his hands and stood up: "I also advise you to be cautious and don't risk your own life."
"Brother Wolf, you are still a berserker. Why have you become less courageous these years?" The soldiers waved their hands: "Don't worry, we also have a mage from the Pentagram Tower to assist us."
Wolf narrowed his eyes and refused: "You can just go, I have something to do here."
The soldiers shrugged. Although they didn't show it on their faces, most of them showed disdain after turning around and walking away.
"You are looking for death." Wolf looked at the backs of these people, as if he were seeing a group of dead people.
At this time, Lai Luo held two large bowls of meat porridge, handed them to Wolf and said: "Teacher, I found that not only them, but also some people in the army were ready to rob nearby. They didn't even eat lunch.
He left on horseback, saying that he was going to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, and there were even psychic warriors from the Golden Flower Society among them."
Wolf lowered his head and took two mouthfuls of hot wheat porridge, and said with a sneer: "The higher the position and the more powerful you are, the more hopeless you are. When you see these people in the future, don't try to persuade them, just avoid them."
Lai Luo asked: "Why? I heard a rumor circulating in the army that the Mutual Protection Alliance's attack on the Western Empire is not only to attack the Senate, but also to wipe out all the wealthy landlords here."
Wolf looked around to make sure there was no one else, and then lowered his voice and said: "The person who spread these words obviously does not understand your father's true intentions. If we talk about rich landlords, there are also some in the Mutual Protection Alliance. Your mother was
The purpose of leading people to inspect the land is to make these wealthy landowners pay taxes and be brought under the rule of the Mutual Protection Alliance, instead of allowing them to become independent small kingdoms in the local area."
Although Lello has not been in Viridian City these years, he has traveled around with Wolf. In fact, he has been paying close attention to the changes in the Mutual Protection Alliance, and even passed by his mother's team a few times.
Although he didn't say it, Lai Luo could actually tell that his parents were not going to be the rulers that were common in books in the past.
"But when the army comes to plunder the Garad continent, it won't affect the Mutual Protection Alliance?" Lai Luo asked.
"Who said it won't affect it?" Wolf threw the wooden spoon: "Your father asked the Mutual Protection Alliance to participate in the war, just to take the opportunity to train this army, not only to exercise combat capabilities, but also to rectify military discipline. Those soldiers went out to rob landlords.
Regal, the problem is not the robbery itself, but the violation of discipline.
If the rules that have been established cannot be effectively implemented, it means that there is a serious problem in the army, or even the country itself. And I dare say that the higher the status of those who violate military discipline, the more severe the punishment. Ordinary soldiers may just be beheaded and hanged.
As for those high-ranking mages and spiritual warriors who think they are close to the core, your father will never show mercy."
Lai Luo nodded silently. When Wolf saw that he was holding the bowl without taking a bite, he said, "What? Do you think you are inferior to your father?"
"Isn't this normal?" Lai Luo sighed and said, "Actually, I have also imagined that I would become as powerful as my father. But after following my teacher for these years, I found that I may not be able to catch up with my father in this life."
Wolf took two mouthfuls of wheat porridge and said: "Actually, your martial arts skills are already better than mine. Your self-created Thunder Sword Technique, few warriors below the legendary level can catch it."
Lai Luo lowered his head and said nothing. Wolf looked at his rapid progress in the past few years, and while feeling pleased, he was actually a little jealous. Lai Luo's talent can no longer be evaluated as a genius. Not only does his learning speed far exceed that of ordinary people,
, and can constantly think and improve during the learning process. Any weapon in his hands, as long as he sees others using it, he can learn it in a blink of an eye, and use it better than others. Lai Luo's control over every inch of his body has reached
degree of perfection.
In fact, Wolf doesn't have much to teach Lai Luo now. If he hadn't determined that Lai Luo was extremely powerful, Wolf would not have brought him to the Garad continent to explore.
"I know that you want to learn more than just martial arts or magic." Wolf said: "You want to reach the heights of your father and change the world like him. But I think you don't have to do this and deliberately follow.
Your father. Your father gave you to me so that you can truly experience the world, instead of just hiding in a small castle and reading a book. As for your future path, your father has no plans.
If he is training you as a little prince, then it is actually a waste of time for you to follow me. With your talent and qualifications, you can learn everything faster and better than ordinary people. If you learn arcana like your sister, your father will also
I know more than one legendary mage. If you are learning psychic powers...do you need someone else to teach you?"
Lai Luo was a little frustrated: "Don't my father have any expectations for me?"
Wolf directly raised his hand and gave Lai Luo a hard blow on the forehead: "Do you know that these words are very luxurious and arrogant? Do you think that living with the expectations of others is a comfortable and beautiful life? Wrong! Such a person
, I have never lived for myself. The more I pay attention to the expectations of others, the farther away I am from my true self.
Your father gave you a freedom that no one else can achieve. If it were any other king or emperor, if he had a child with such an outstanding talent like you, he would wish to use one day as two days and put all his ideals and expectations on the child. If
If that's the case, you are no longer you, just a container to fulfill other people's wishes. That kind of life is so hopeless!"
This is a truth that took Wolf many years to truly understand. He was transformed into a berserker by the Green Ring. Isn't he shouldering the expectations of others? Such expectations almost destroyed Wolf, and also made his heart suffer for a long time.
, filled with hatred and rage, unable to calm down.
But getting along with Lello gradually allowed Wolf to face his own heart calmly, live in harmony with his rage, and no longer distinguish between each other. After thinking about this, Wolf felt that his body and mind suddenly became brighter, even if he was not familiar with the green land.
Tamaki is still unfavorable, but is no longer trapped by the past.
The physical and mental transcendence means that when Wolf launches violent transformation, he will no longer feel any pain, nor will he feel tired afterwards. It is as if the violent power has been fully integrated into his life and soul, waiting for the incredible transformation in the future. Perhaps.
At that time, Wolf will be able to reach the legendary level.
After listening to the teacher's lesson, Lai Luo touched the red mark on his forehead and said with a smile: "I understand, thank you teacher for clarifying my doubts."
At this time, a little field mouse crawled out of Lai Luo's arms. He looked at Lai Luo and Wolf in a daze as if he had just woken up. Upon seeing this, Lai Luo took out some nuts from his waist pocket and fed them to them.
The little field mouse said to it: "Ever since you went to sea, you have been dozing off every day."
Wolf said to Lai Luo: "Eat quickly. After eating, take those little brats to stand up, so that they don't think they can be lazy when they come to Garad Continent."
