On the eastern shore of the Black Sea, on the waterway connecting the Old Continent and the Southern Continent.
Woo woo woo …
The mournful cold wind carried with it a faint frost, filling the blue and white leather sails with swells. The huge sail with excellent wind performance was engraved with mysterious silver runes, and there was a faint magical glow on it.
Relying on the powerful power granted by cutting-edge alchemy, this quasi-legendary warship belonging to the Kingdom of Faletis, the Northern Cold Wind, flew forward on the vast sea as if it was weightless.
Less than a kilometer in front of it, a warship of the same size was also speeding on the sea.
Its appearance was similar to a brilliant burning red maple leaf, and its distinguishing features made it easy to recognize that it was the quasi-legendary warship belonging to Shilius, the Red Maple.
Obviously, this was a confrontation between two opposing forces of the highest level of supernatural power.
"Griffith, since you dare to personally attack the Tulip's sea route, why don't you have the guts to fight us with real swords and spears?
A Vice Admiral of the Shilius Navy wouldn't be a coward who bullies the weak and fears the strong, right? Hahaha … "
The commander of the Faletis Navy in the Southern Continent, Vice Admiral Temple Elvis, held a commanding sword inlaid with a sapphire. His voice, as loud as a bronze bell, echoed on the sea, allowing both sides to hear him clearly.
At present, the war treaty between countries only prohibited high-level Transcendents from slaughtering ordinary soldiers, but it did not restrict them from taking action. Unless the enemy and the other side had supernatural power of the same level to offset each other, it was possible to kill all the soldiers who dared to resist.
To paraphrase a saying, "Is power such an inconvenient thing?"
Some time ago, Griffith and his Red Maple disregarded the tacit agreement and personally cut off the Tulip's sea route. As long as a sailboat appeared in front of him, regardless of whether it was a merchant ship or a warship, there was no way to escape.
In just a few days, the Alliance had suffered huge losses, but because Shilius's colonies in the Southern Continent were sparse and concentrated, it was difficult to counterattack.
Up ahead, on the Red Maple.
"Sir General …"
A white-gloved hand raised to stop the adjutant's words.
Griffith, who was also standing on the stern of the ship, did not want to get involved in these personal disputes. He knew very well that his goal was only to lead the expeditionary fleet to victory. The methods used were not important at all.
Although the enemy's "Northern Cold Wind" was fast, it was still slightly slower than the "Red Maple". After running for a while, the distance between them would naturally widen.
Moreover, it was not as simple as treating each other to a meal when two well-matched quasi-Legendary-tier warships were clashing head-on. If they were not careful, both sides would suffer great losses, greatly delaying their own strategic advancement.
But seeing the ugly looks on the faces of the soldiers on the ship, Shilius, who was known as the strongest army in the world, had never suffered such humiliation before.
Morale was also something he had to consider as a captain.
In addition, the Southern Continent, where the temperature was extremely high all year round and there was almost no ice period, was the home of his "Red Maple". So Griffith finally decided to teach the Faletis, who did not know the immensity of heaven and earth, a lesson.
"If you want to fight, then let's fight!"
The two quasi-legendary warships with extraordinary powers did not need to steal the limelight like ordinary warships. Their maneuverability and flexibility were on a completely different level.
After the captain gave the order, the warships immediately entered combat mode.
But when the "Red Maple" slowed down to meet the enemy, the attack of the "Northern Cold Wind" from behind had arrived first.
Lieutenant General Elvis raised the commanding sword in his hand high. The transparent sapphire on the sword shone brightly. The dozen or so blue and white sails on the front, main, and rear masts of the warship emitted visible witchcraft light at the same time.
Woo … Woo … Woo …
Amidst the whimpering of the cold wind that seemed to come from the Eternal White Continent, an illusory whale that was even larger than a battleship emerged from the sails of the ship. It took a deep breath and quickly inflated like a balloon.
Then, it suddenly opened its dark blue giant mouth and spat out a breath of the coldest wind in nature on this planet. It was a terrifying cold wave that reached -93.2 degrees Celsius. Even the air seemed to be frozen!
It was going to drag the entire sea into winter.
[Ability: Winter Wind]
The sails of the "Northern Cold Wind" came from a giant sea monster called the "pilot whale" that lived in the waters near the Eternal White Continent. The carefully treated skin of the sea monster was the best material for sails.
There were also wizards from the "alchemy equipment and enchantment branch" who drew runes for it. It had extremely strong wind resistance and extraordinary abilities. Also, the soul of the giant sea monster was sealed on the sails, so it had a portable sea monster pet in disguise.
It had multiple abilities such as [Never Get Lost], [Whale Spirit Protection], and [Winter Wind].
Also, unlike the "Red Maple" that relied on the blessings of the angels, as an alchemy creation, as long as there was enough energy, this warship could achieve all-weather combat.
"Naive!"
On the "Red Maple", Griffith sneered. The abilities of the legendary and quasi-legendary warships of all countries were the first priority of intelligence.
If there was a kingdom in the material world with the richest war experience, it would definitely be the Shilius, who were based on the army.
Since their rise two hundred years ago, they had spent almost every day in war. Of course, they knew the importance of intelligence the best.
His right hand raised a torch with a bronze handle high.
Whoosh …
As if a blazing sun had suddenly descended, a blazing yellowish-white line of fire split the cold wind and flew towards the sails of the "Northern Cold Wind".
[Secret Treasure of the Sea: Dragonbreath Torch]
Effect: Outside of winter, can be used three times a day. Can release a scorching flame with a range of two hundred meters. Within this range, can even burn through seawater.
.....
Luanda, the headquarters of Shilius in the Southern Continent.
The adjutant rushed into the deputy commander's office, and before he could stand still, he excitedly reported to the deputy commander of the expeditionary fleet, the Steel Knight, Kungang Taita.
"Reporting to the commander! The opportunity is here.
Lieutenant General Griffith has already engaged the "Northern Cold Wind". Two quasi-legendary warships that are evenly matched and restrained each other are fighting. They should not have the energy to care about us for the time being. "
Kungang Taita, who was wearing heavy armor even in his own office, turned around and picked up the two-handed heavy sword on the weapon rack.
"The timing is just right. That impatient Lieutenant General Elvis of Faletis has helped us a lot.
Let's go, take advantage of this opportunity to bring the prepared cargo ship and set off immediately! "
He spread out the scarlet cloak behind him and walked out first.
This was the second mission of Kungang Taita after coming to the Southern Continent, second only to ensuring the victory of the war. There was no room for failure.
Most importantly, he had to hide from the eyes and ears of the Church's Griffith. As a loyal member of the Royal Faction, he had to complete the important mission given by His Majesty the King himself!
.....
After the "May Wind" joined the battle, it easily slaughtered all the Dahomey warriors on the two ships.
Elvin and his classmate, Kelson Augustine, who seemed to be in a very complicated mood, had a routine talk about their friendship. He learned that Kelson was now on a garrison mission in the Nigerian colony of the kingdom.
Stationing troops overseas was a shortcut to promotion, and unlike the newly developed and more dangerous New Continent, the Southern Continent, which had been in operation for two hundred years, was much less dangerous.
This was also the good intentions of his deputy commander grandfather, but things did not go according to his wishes. It happened to coincide with the war with Shilius, and they almost died.
However, they were still classmates after all, and the two agreed to keep in touch when they were in the New Continent.
After that, the "May Wind" took away the most valuable spoils of war on the native ship, and the "Ivy" took the two battleships back to Nigeria. They also reported to the upper echelons that Dahomey had joined the war.
The battleship continued forward and came to the ocean surface west of the Luanda Cape. It circled to the edge of a relatively hidden island and hid there, waiting quietly.
With the Seagull Network, they would not miss the target even if they were slightly further away.
In the captain's room, only Elvin and Olivia were there.
The girl removed her disguise. Her curvaceous figure was supported by her military uniform. Her long black hair was draped over her shoulders like a waterfall, and a strand of shiny black hair hung down from her jade-white cheeks. She was seriously maintaining the alchemy gun.
The gun barrel was slightly dull in silver, and the delicate burgundy stock was made of wood. A vine decorated with golden rose patterns ran through the entire gun body. After wiping it clean and applying oil, the entire gun shone brightly.
It was like a work of art!
Yes, both of them. Elvin, who was sitting behind his desk, nodded silently in his heart.
Realizing that Elvin had been staring at her, Olivia thought that he was looking at the gun. She hugged the Thorny Golden Rose in her arms and did not let go, as if she was protecting a chick.
"Elvin, lend it to me. You won't be able to use it easily anyway. Besides, you didn't even maintain this gun after you got it, did you? Listen, the Thorny Golden Rose is crying! "
He stared at the girl from the corner of his eyes and clearly revealed the meaning of "Do you think I'm an idiot?". He pretended to be dissatisfied and said,
"Under the protection of alchemy, alchemy guns are famous for their resistance to wear and tear. You're just trying to steal my treasure!"
As soon as he finished speaking.
Whoosh —
Elven suddenly raised his hand and caught a shiny object that Olivia had tossed to him.
He opened his palm to take a look. The silver ring was inlaid with a blue-black tourmaline. The design was simple and elegant. It was actually a gemstone ring!
"What's this? For me?"
Due to the special meaning of the ring, Elvin could not help but have a slightly perverted thought.
"It's something that suits you very well."
Olivia did not have any other intentions and explained the use of the gemstone in detail.
Tourmaline (tourmaline) was classified by color into black tourmaline and colored tourmaline.
To a Magus of the "Gemstone School", colored tourmaline could be used for camouflage spells, while black tourmaline, which contained iron, could be used to control electricity.
Elvin silently sensed the active spirituality in the ring that had been stimulated by the gem witchcraft. Regardless of the improvement in his electric current control, the ring would be an extremely powerful external power source in terms of its extraordinary nature.
To a Branded Swordsman who relied on his "vitality magnetic field", it was extremely practical.
"However, why does the gemstone on it look so familiar? This is actually the gemstone button that you took along with the Fairy Spring, right? "
Olivia lifted her jade-like chin slightly. Since she had picked it up, it naturally belonged to her. The seller's market did not accept bargaining. She lightly snorted.
"Just one sentence, do you want to trade?"
"Of course! However, it's not this ring that I want to trade.
As a consumable item, you'll have to be responsible for helping me replace it. Don't worry, I'll pay for the materials and crafting costs! "
The young lady pondered for a moment and did not discover the deeper meaning behind Elvin's "after-sales service" request. She felt that stimulating the gemstone's spirituality was not too troublesome and nodded her head in agreement.
"Deal!"
At this moment.
From the direction of Luanda Cape, a third-level warship without any flags and three humongous transport ships appeared in the Seagulls' mental network.
The prey they had been waiting for had finally appeared!
