"Fire!"
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! "
This was a fourth-level battleship that had just crossed the entire Black Sea and returned from the New World. In fact, other than battleships equipped with powerful Transcendents and weapons, almost no other ship dared to cross the dangerous Black Sea alone.
But this battleship that had just returned safely to the Old World had now turned into a bloody slaughterhouse.
Regrettably.
In the face of a terrifying enemy that had broken into the battleship, firearms were obviously useless.
The pale commander waved his commanding knife and roared, "Charge!
"Charge! Kill!"
"Whoosh!"
However, a sharp white gust of wind swept across the deck like the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves. There was no retreat, no block, and only continued to advance, and advance.
No matter how many soldiers there were in front of it, it was meaningless.
Wherever the gust of wind passed, the greenish-white heads fell off like ripe fruits.
Because too many heads were cut off at the same time, blue blood spurted out from their necks and dripped down like raindrops. But it was blocked by a layer of hazy air. Even if it killed from the bow to the stern, the dark blue military uniform was still … spotless.
"Clang!"
Standing on the empty stern, Elvin's cloak fluttered gently behind him, and the Gilded Finger sword was already in its scabbard.
It could only be said that the beginning of the battle was unexpected, and the end caught everyone off guard.
This battleship that had originally turned southeast from here could not hold back its curiosity after hearing the huge commotion caused by Elvin collecting the "Mountain Giant". It turned north to see what was going on.
Unfortunately, curiosity killed the cat.
The origin of the tragedy: on this battleship that had both the Tulip and Iliad flags, from the officers to the crew, were all ghouls! And for some reason, there were at least one-fifth more ghouls than the normal 350 people, and the entire ship was stuffed to the brim.
Other than ghouls, the most abundant resource on the ship was human corpses, and their purpose was self-evident.
For humans, there was no standard for three views, and in the world of crows, even swans were guilty.
Moreover, as a group of man-eating monsters, they were still in cahoots with Wright. Their greatest sin was to be on different sides!
Although Elvin was not a moralist, he could still kill four hundred people with a clear conscience.
Even taking on a battleship would be a piece of cake.
If it had been any other mage, they might have thought that using fire would be the best way to deal with a wooden ship. However, Elvin was a rear admiral and captain of a quasi-Legendary-class warship. He knew the true weakness of a sail ship.
[Storm Dragon — Spell-Like Tranquility]
Within the circular area with a diameter of ten kilometers, not even the slightest airflow could be generated anymore.
This type of vehicle, which was powered entirely by wind, couldn't even leave the port without wind, let alone fight. In the history of naval battles, there were many examples of a sudden change in the wind direction leading to a great defeat.
A simple spell without the slightest lethality was enough to paralyze the pride of a human. Of course, this was only for a rank 3 Magus.
In a war.
A Grade 3 physical-type Extraordinaire might still be able to die from physical damage, but the difference between a Grade 3 Great Wizard and a mortal was like the difference between heaven and earth.
This was a gap that could not be closed no matter how many soldiers were piled up, or how advanced the weapons were used (with the current level of technology).
It was just like when the enemy attacked the 'Box of Dead Souls' in New Haven, a single rank 3 [Military Witchcraft — Drowning Spring] was used, and the entire fleet could only close their eyes and wait for death.
Most of the time, the ones who could control the battlefield were not Titled Knights, but these great Magi with their ever-changing methods.
After the warship was paralyzed, it was time for peerless mowing.
To the current Elvin, it made no difference whether he used a godly weapon or a wooden stick to deal with low-level enemies. After activating his sword aura, he could still pierce through a steel pillar.
After killing four hundred people, he looked at the blood-soaked deck, and the last two ghouls who were still breathing. They were the ship's strongest captain and first mate.
Snap —!
Elvin gently snapped his fingers, and the weapons beside them jumped up automatically. They melted into liquid in mid-air and molded into the shape of shackles. With a flash of light, even tiny runes were added.
[Enhanced Enchanted Weapon]
Then, as if they had a life of their own, they hopped around and locked the hands and feet of the two ghouls together from behind, tightening them tightly.
Elvin squatted in front of them.
"Come, raise your heads and look into my eyes!"
"Uh …"
The two ghouls raised their heads uncontrollably and widened their eyes. What they saw was Elvin's eyes that had turned into the vertical pupils of a giant dragon.
Magic flashed, and their eyes lost their spirit. The painful expression on their faces also disappeared.
[Spell-like — Dominate Humanoid Creatures]
"Tell me, why did you transfer so many people back to the mainland when the Spirit Tide was raging in the New World? What happened in the mainland of Ilya? "
"We …"
When he heard from them that they were called back to the mainland this time to prepare in advance for the upcoming "armed coup" of the new business aristocrats, Elvin almost laughed out loud.
Because the long-awaited opportunity had finally arrived!
Although the Ilya royal family was about to be unlucky, the rebels led by Wright in the great change of the Ilya Kingdom were finally going to end their petty theft and officially step onto the stage.
They would also completely expose the rotten sore that the Ilya Kingdom had been covering for a long time. The bloody consequences of this new class developing to the limit would be completely exposed to the other countries in the alliance.
The Tulip Alliance would definitely have follow-up actions, and then it would be the opportunity for Elvin to take advantage of the situation!
Based on the ghouls' feedback, it would not be long before that happened. It should not be more than half a year at most.
Not only did he want to kill Wright, but he also wanted to wipe out the family and all the assets they had painstakingly plundered in all aspects, wiping out all the seeds that could possibly rise from the ashes.
Hualalala …
Boundless seawater surged up and washed the warship clean. If not for the fact that he did not want to destroy this precious spoil of war, he would not have had to resort to hand-to-hand combat.
Just as he put the fourth-level warship and the two ghouls on it into the [Sorcerer's Garden], he pulled Olivia who was watching the battle from the side and was about to return home.
Flap flap —
A messenger delivered a message from the crown prince from the spirit realm. After reading it, Elvin instantly raised an eyebrow.
"Hersey, we need to go to the capital."
Levina knew about his ability to transform into a "thunderbird" and could easily travel back and forth between the new and old continents. She asked him to go to the capital as soon as possible as a think tank consultant and participate in the joint conference scheduled for a week later.
And at this time, there shouldn't be any other major events that could be so coincidental, right?
.....
An hour later.
Bechler, the capital of Faletis, the queen's bedroom and office — St. James' Palace.
Tap … tap … tap …
Elvin was already following behind Crown Prince Levina, who would occasionally turn back to look at him, into the palace where Queen Isabella worked.
He guessed that the kingdom's intelligence network far surpassed his own should have already received the relevant news. He was eager to know the kingdom's attitude toward this matter, so he had already arrived at the capital after receiving the message.
After sending Olivia to the royal villa in the capital for a temporary rest, he went straight to Levina's mansion and dragged her to meet the queen.
Last year, Elvin had gained the title of a think tank consultant of the queen. He had the right to meet the queen and give his opinions at any time.
The queen's think tank was equivalent to a small cabinet. While its position was high and its influence was great, it did not have to constantly waste energy on government affairs. It was considered a top position in the kingdom.
When they were allowed to enter the queen's study and bowed to Queen Isabella, they were not surprised to see a group of rather old advisors.
As expected, before the joint conference began, the queen had to inform her confidants to ensure that the conference would develop according to her expectations.
Among them were Kirk Kadi, who held the idea of free economic competition and stimulating market vitality, and Francis, who held the idea of a technological powerhouse and the country's overall development. These two were the first and second in the think tank.
"Your Royal Highness!"
"Mr. Garriott, you're here so soon!"
"Something is going to happen to Ilya. Your prophecy has come true."
When they came in, the two leaders stood up and saluted Elvin. They looked at Elvin as if they were looking at a living prophet.
The words he said a year ago were still ringing in his ears, but now it was about to become an established fact.
"The establishment of a 'capitalized economy' is the prerequisite for further promoting the 'steam industrial revolution.' The future victory of the 'steam industrial revolution' will consolidate the capitalized economy, and inevitably consolidate the economic and political rights of this class!
What kind of power does a class that controls a large amount of production and monetary wealth represent?
Even if we control the country's supreme military force, it is easy for them to destabilize the kingdom. It is even possible to shake the foundation of the survival of ordinary citizens and cause the country to collapse.
Since human nature is self-interested, it is not surprising that they would destroy a country and make countless people homeless for the sake of profit. "
And he also gave a suggestion to the kingdom regarding this point: the state should intervene in the economy and refuse to fully privatize it.
At this time, everyone present had already received the intelligence from the Kingdom of Ilya, and they admired Elvin's forward-looking vision even more. It was a hundred times more accurate than those mumbling prophecies!
For this group of scholars and advisors, official positions were useless. Only knowledge and ability could conquer them. In this regard, Elvin's performance this time was miraculous.
The Queen, who was sitting at the head of the table, looked at Levina questioningly, only to see her shake her head gently. She knew that the specific content of the topic had not been told to Elvin.
So she said with some surprise,
"Garriott, you don't seem to be curious about what happened to Ilya?"
Elvin stood up and saluted, then explained,
"Your Majesty, actually, I'm here for this."
Snap!
With a snap of his fingers, the shadow of a huge city flashed in front of everyone.
Thud! Thud!
Two ghouls that were still firmly bound fell out and fell heavily on the floor of the study.
However, at this time, no one looked at the two figures that appeared on the floor. Instead, they stared at Elvin's hand that snapped his fingers.
Especially Queen Isabella and Crown Prince Levina, who were Grade 3 Grand Knights, both felt their hearts skip a beat at the same time.
They exclaimed at the same time.
"This is … Sorcerer's Garden, Grand Wizard?!"
