Dawn came after the storm.
Prince Hans stood at the port with a pale face, which made him look a little gloomy. No matter who it was, they would be in a terrible mood if they didn't receive any news of their patrol fleet after they left. It could even be said that they had disappeared without a trace, dead or alive. A whole day has passed, and the patrol fleet has completely disappeared since yesterday morning. No one knew if it was sunk by Arendelle's navy, or if it sank in the storm last night.
Logically speaking, a storm of this level could not threaten a large warship. Last night's storm at most overturned some fishing boats.
"Your Highness."
A heavily armed young man quickly walked over, knelt on one knee, and said, "There's no news! The warships sent out to search have no clues. "
Time passed little by little.
Soon, the warships sent out to search today returned to the port one by one. Prince Hans, who was waiting at the port, glanced at them, and his face immediately turned ugly. He frowned and said, "Where's the Orion?"
"Didn't the Orion go out to sea together today?"
Hearing his question, the others also looked around in surprise. Sure enough, the Orion warship was not found. However, the warships sent out to search had just returned, so someone comforted the prince, "Your Highness, don't worry, the Orion may still be behind. I've told them not to leave the nearby sea area today, so as not to be attacked by Arendelle's warships. If there's any movement, they will immediately send a signal flare, and we can see it directly from here. "
Prince Hans nodded, but his expression was still ugly because his intuition told him that things were not good.
…
On the calm sea.
A broken hull was sinking little by little. Søren stood on the deck of the deadman's voice with a blank expression, watching the sinking warship in front of him. He was playing with something similar to a firework in his hand, and his expression seemed to be thinking about something. After about a moment, he directly opened the signal flare, accompanied by a bright light, and then a very eye-catching firework exploded in mid-air. Even during the day, it could be seen from afar.
"Deep-sea diving!"
Søren looked at the island in the distance, then ordered in a deep voice, "Summon the fog!"
"Undead Drowned, prepare for battle!"
The ghost ship gradually dived into the bottom of the sea, and a fog appeared on the nearby sea. However, because it was daytime, the fog only made everything look a little hazy, and the scope seemed to be reduced a lot. It only covered the nearby sea.
At the other side.
Near the port of Arendelle, above a towering lighthouse, Princess Anna also looked into the distance with a sad face and whispered: "Did you not see their warships today?"
In order to seal off Arendelle's port, warships from the southern island countries would appear in the nearby waters once a day.
They didn't dare to attack the port yet, so they could only temporarily seal it off.
After all, Arendelle was still a kingdom. No matter how badly damaged their navy was, they still had the basic ability to defend themselves.
"Your Highness."
Standing next to her was a bearded general. He put down the monocular in his hand and said in a deep voice, "I didn't see any enemy patrol warships today, not even the Vrykul warships."
Princess Anna frowned slightly and whispered, "Could it be that they withdrew their troops?"
"It's unlikely." The bearded general shook his head and said, "I'm more worried that they want to attack the port. Last time they shelled the lighthouse, but our fleet immediately attacked and forced them to retreat."
"The number of enemy warships is twice as many as ours. I'm afraid they won't give up so easily!"
Princess Anna was silent.
She seemed to have not slept well for a long time. Her beautiful face seemed a little haggard. She murmured, "If only my sister were here. I'm so useless! "
The bearded general looked bitter and said in a deep voice, "It's all because of my incompetence! If I hadn't discovered their trap, the kingdom's navy would have been able to fight at sea. "
"Your Highness' talent is unquestionable!"
"During this time, His Majesty has managed the kingdom's affairs in an orderly manner. It's all my fault … "
Princess Anna waved to stop him and whispered, "General Bassa, don't blame yourself. We didn't expect them to be with the Vrykul pirates."
A kingdom's regular navy actually joined forces with a group of notorious Vrykul pirates.
This kind of thing would damage the kingdom's reputation. They also didn't expect Prince Hans of the southern island country to do this.
Many kingdoms had jointly issued a 'Pirate Decree' in the past.
Arendelle's prosperous economy was due to the decline of pirates. After all, there were not many pirates in the world like Søren. Most of the pirates were chaotic and relied entirely on robbing merchant ships to survive.
"Your Highness!"
The bearded general named Bassa suddenly raised his head and pointed to the distant sky, "Look over there! There's a situation! … "
A flame shot straight into the sky.
The signal flare was so bright that even Arendelle could see it clearly. This was a specially prepared alchemy item that could be seen far away.
…
Dragonbone Island.
As time went by, Prince Hans's face became more and more ugly. When the other warships returned, he still didn't see the Orion. He said in a deep voice, "Lookout? Haven't you seen the Orion yet? "
"Your Highness!" A naval officer standing next to him suddenly raised his head and pointed to the sky and said in a deep voice, "Look! Signal flare! "
"There's a situation over there! It should be the signal flare sent by the Orion! "
Prince Hans was shocked when he heard the words and immediately ordered, "Gather the fleet! Let the Vrykul pirates go together! "
A patrol fleet went missing last night, and another warship didn't come back today.
Intuition told him that something bad had happened, so he immediately ordered the fleet to gather and set off.
The fleet of the southern island country gathered quickly, and the navies that had been on standby boarded the ships and went out to sea. The Vrykul pirates also appeared in the port. Their number was only half of that of the southern island country, but most of them looked fierce. A burly man with a horned helmet said a few words to Prince Hans and boarded a dragon-headed warship. Perhaps because the missing warships were from the southern island country, the Vrykul pirates looked indifferent. Less than one-third of the pirate ships went out to sea.
However, in the end, hundreds of warships, large and small, moved toward the location where the signal flare was fired.
…
In the blue sea.
Søren's hair fluttered with the current. He quietly watched the sea, waiting for the enemy to appear.
Harvesting heads was undoubtedly the fastest way to gain Slaughter EXP, especially since many of the navies of the southern island country were advanced professions. Just last night's battle, he gained nearly 50,000 Slaughter EXP, and this was because many enemies died in the hands of the undead and the mutant killer whales. At this rate, he was afraid that he didn't need to complete the chain quest of the 'Four Elemental Stones'. As long as he defeated Prince Hans's navy, he might enter the legendary realm.
Søren's Slaughter EXP had now reached a total of 230,000, and he could upgrade the Shadow Dancer profession level at any time.
This time, he didn't save the Slaughter EXP, but directly upgraded the Shadow Dancer to level 6.
"The Shadow Dancer profession has been upgraded to level 6."
"Received 32 (DEX 26 + (INT 22-10) * 0.5) skill points, HP increased by 14 (Profession HP 8 + (CON 22-10) * 0.5)."
…
At this stage, Søren's speed of improvement was slow because he had entered a bottleneck period, which was the realm of the half-legendary.
Only when his strength broke through the legendary realm would he receive a greater improvement. At that time, he would be able to master [Danger Sense], [Reflex Evasion], and [Flexible Mind] as rewards. The legendary realm was a huge watershed. After entering the legendary realm, Søren could further master the legendary combat skill [Shadow Step], as well as the legendary ability [Shadow Realm].
Warriors and Barbarians who had just entered the legendary realm would receive the most obvious improvement because at this time, they would receive the ability [Epic Strengthening].
After this ability appeared, they would become quite inhuman!
Under normal circumstances, the incarnation of the gods had more than 500 HP. Among all professions, only Warriors and Barbarians could reach this level.
[Epic Strengthening], if raised to the limit, could increase the HP by more than 300.
They were able to bathe in the magma because of their abnormal vitality. As for the other professions, they would probably need a long time to learn and train after entering the Legendary Realm, especially spellcasters, who needed a lot of time to learn and master legendary spells. After entering the legendary realm, the Rogue's ability to fight head-on would be pulled apart by the traditional melee professions, so mastering [Shadow Realm] was the key to deal with them.
Søren had received a message prompt.
Two more times and he would be able to master [Shadow Realm]. At that time, no matter how strong the enemy was, he could try to escape across the plane.
As he got closer and closer to the legendary realm.
Søren's Slaughter EXP needed to level up his professions also doubled. His current professions were 'Level 10 Commoner, Level 7 Rogue (0186500), Level 6 Shadow Dancer (0215000), Level 10 Wizard (0148500) [Grade 4].'
Two more professions and he would enter the ranks of the legendary professions!
However, the last two professions were also the most difficult because he might need close to 450,000 Slaughter EXP. After deducting the current Slaughter EXP, there was still a gap of nearly 400,000. According to the gains from last night's battle, he would need to do at least nine more times.
In other words, he would need to sink at least 50 warships from the southern island nation!
