Haiyuan Calendar Year 191, April 28th, night.
South of the New Continent, La Plata Vice King District's capital, Montevideo.
Kaboom! Kaboom!
It was still peaceful in the evening, but not long after nightfall, violent explosions were heard all over the city. It was as if a basin of cold water had been poured over the city's head, waking it up from its slumber.
"For the glory of the Angel of Justice, open fire!"
"The grace of the Lord of Gold shall spread throughout the world!"
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Accompanied by the strange chirping of insects and fanatical roars, a large number of armed forces led by "Blasphemy Cultists" surged out from all over the city like a tidal wave. They attacked the city hall, the Vice King's residence, the City Guard's station, and other important departments from the inside.
Unexpectedly, but within reason, the flames of war were ignited in the south of the New Continent.
The Eye of Wealth's strategy was the same as the Tulip's. In order to support the local battlefield, it was necessary to cut off the umbilical cord that supplied nutrients to Shilius from the outside world. The three Vice King Districts of the New Continent that were thousands of miles away from the Old Continent were naturally the most important.
This operation was not only to cut flesh and blood for the Empire, it was also to restrain the Duchy of Calot in the north, so that they would not be easily distracted when facing the rebellion at their doorstep.
If the Ancient Gods' minions found a loophole, it would be natural for them to extend the flames of rebellion to the north.
Currently, Shilius's La Plata Vice King District and Secret Dragon Vice King District were the focus of the attack, but the chaos within Cabral in the Chaotic Lands was not any weaker.
In the four years that the "Fog of Order" had controlled two cities on the surface, it had already completed the layout of Cabral, infiltrating all the factions in the Chaotic Lands like a sieve.
Now.
With a command from the upper echelons, this place instantly became a powder keg that was detonated, turning the world upside down in an instant.
Some of the upper echelons of the factions were collectively corrupted and became the lackeys of the Ancient Gods, some were backstabbed by the internal opposition, and some were attacked by the surrounding smaller factions …
For a moment, other than the Ancient Gods' own factions, no one could tell who was friend and who was foe, and there was chaos everywhere.
If he did not want to die, he could only join them. Kill! Kill! Kill!
.....
Two days later, April 30th.
Whoosh!
White sails and banners fluttered in the wind.
After receiving the news of the attack on the New World.
Excluding the time difference, Shilius, which had been preparing for war for a long time, only took a day and a half to mobilize most of the mobile naval warships stationed on the Old Continent.
Apart from the necessary defense, there were a total of 85 battleships above grade 3 and 764 auxiliary ships including grade 4 battleships.
They were gathered at Galicia, Valencia, and Algeciras in the Gulf of Alfonso in the north.
As long as they finished resupplying at the military port, they would form an unprecedented fleet and head for Frisia. If everything went smoothly, it would take them about ten days to reach Frisia. After ten days, it would be the death of the rebels!
Although the upper echelons of Shilius were furious at the sudden sneak attack of the Eye of Wealth, their strategic goal was very simple. No matter how the Eye of Wealth jumped up and down in the new continent, they would not panic.
This battle was not focused on occupying land, but on completely wiping out the effective forces in Frisia.
After a year of fierce fighting, they had long seen through the strength and weakness of the other party. As long as they could sink all the naval fleets of the other party and seal the Frisian region connected to the Empire into an isolated island, that rich tax source would eventually fall into their hands!
Everyone knew that the saline-alkali soil of the Low Countries could not support one percent of the country's population.
Since the beginning of the age of great navigation, Frisian merchant ships had been scattered all over the coastal waters, especially the "flute-shaped ships" that were designed for the purpose of saving taxes rather than for ease of navigation. This made Frisian merchants famous.
However, normal merchant ships of other countries could set up cannons to protect their lives when encountering pirates.
The merchant ships of Frisia, on the other hand, were all made of the most inferior wood. The cost might be half of that of the tulips, which were also good at shipbuilding. They could not withstand the recoil of cannons at all, let alone install any cannons. Of course, the transportation cost was also very low.
The number of merchant ships in the world that belonged to Frisia once reached 12000, and the shipping business was done all over the world.
However, the disadvantage was that when such a naval force fought against the world's strongest sea power, Shilius, it was tantamount to throwing an egg at a rock.
Previously, even with the [Legendary Warship, Valhalla] and the help of the pirates of the Black Sea, a year had already exhausted the Frisian navy, which was not rich to begin with.
In the face of such an invincible fleet that was waiting at ease, the only outcome was to be destroyed and sent to the bottom of the sea.
At this time, the only way to help them make up for the huge gap in strength was … "wisdom".
At night, the port of Valencia was brightly lit.
"Water, food, ammunition, clothes, ropes, spare sails … Quick! Quick! Quick! We must finish the supplies before dawn tomorrow. "
* Thump … Thump … Thump …
The situation in the three military ports where the invincible fleet gathered was similar. Quartermasters, naval soldiers, stevedores, and merchant employees were running up and down the ships carrying supplies. No one could bear the consequences of the fleet's departure time being delayed.
However.
No one on the port, including the high-level Transcendents in charge of the defense work, could notice.
A paddling boat full of dozens of "Corrupted Cultists" who had extremely "corrupted", sharp mouthparts on their heads, caterpillar-like bodies, and had completely lost their human forms, sailed into the port.
A circle of light enveloped them, but it devoured all the light and shadows. Whether it was vision, witchcraft, mental power, or sea currents … no one could find them.
As long as the [Secret Treasure of the Sea — Tinder Box] was within the range of the tinder box's light, no one could find the hidden figure in any way. The range was 50 meters, and it could only last for two hours at a time.
The small boat specifically picked the large battleships in the port and sent the "bugmen" to the bottom of the water. Like worms that ate wood, the "bugmen" opened their mouths and quickly gnawed through the bottom of the ship and crawled into the interior of the battleship.
When the last "bugman" was in place …
Squeak!
A sharp insect cry pierced through the night sky.
Then, the battleships that were mainly Level 3 and above immediately had thick smoke billowing out.
"There's a fire!"
"Idiot, it's an enemy attack. Hurry up and sound the alarm!"
When the ear-piercing alarm rang, dozens of priests of the Tinder Order had already rushed out of the battleships stationed in the port and chanted in unison:
"The glory of God has turned into a robe to protect us from suffering!"
[Divine Spell — Fire Immunity]
However, in the divine light that covered the entire port, the billowing thick smoke was still burning rapidly without any abnormalities.
"The divine spell … has failed?!"
The absolutely loyal "Corrupted Cultists" completely sacrificed their bodies and souls to borrow the power of Chaos Worm Sudemeyr and ignited an invisible flame.
Others couldn't see any fire at all, and it seemed that there was no burning process in the middle at all. There was only the result of burning.
[Ability — Ashes of Ashes]
Boom!!!
At this moment, there was an earth-shattering explosion. A battleship that was fully loaded with gunpowder exploded.
Screams and cries resounded through the night sky.
Ten nautical miles away, in a fleet that seemed to be covered in the night sky, there was no trace of it at all.
Battleships of different sizes were of different shapes. Although they had the flag of the Lowland Republic, they seemed to be a motley crew of various countries.
The saint of the Angel of Prosperity, William Orange, stood on the flagship's forecastle and looked at the beautiful scenery as he laughed out loud.
"The so-called 'divine spells' are all supplementary. The strongest Beyonder power of our Eye of Wealth is money!"
Shilius understood that the difference between the two sides was military strength. Of course, the Eye of Wealth knew it very well as well.
They purchased concealment treasures of the sea and bribed insiders to obtain information. With the absolute nature of the treasures of the sea, they invaded the three naval bases of Shilius where the Invincible Fleet was stationed and carried out fixed-point explosions.
Then, they calculated the time and similarly mobilized their naval forces, hiring and purchasing the active warships of other countries, preparing to launch a counter-attack. They were staking everything to keep the enemy out of their country's gates that had no strategic depth.
Can you do whatever you want just because you have money?
Sorry, but you can really do whatever you want with money!
.....
On the third battlefield.
Under the leadership of the [Legendary Battleship — Sea Sovereign], the First Fleet had already charged to the Peacock Islands and met up with the [Legendary Battleship — Gorse] that was originally stationed here.
Among the many overseas colonies that could support the huge tax revenue of the Empire.
More than half of the New Continent had been cut off, and only Lobito was left in the Southern Continent. The largest tax source of the mainland, Frisia, was out of control. At this time, the Peacock Islands, which could be considered the last pillar of the Empire, could not be lost.
Even the defense of the mainland was not so tight. After all the Titled Knight were transferred back to Shilius.
Among the naval forces, there was a "Flame Dragon Curse", a "Hurricane Nest", a "Quirky Life Wizard of the Yellow Sand Association", and the "Curse School" Andon, who could not refuse and had no choice but to come. There were a total of four great wizards.
This was the tough bone that the various countries of the Tulip Family wanted to gnaw on.
Machinations such as the Lowland Republic were never part of Rivenna's alternative plans.
In this battle, they wanted to intimidate the other wolves, tigers, and leopards that were eyeing them covetously. They wanted to step on the corpse of the old king to be crowned as the new king. They wanted to sing praises to the Goddess with the wails of the enemy!
Therefore, they only had one choice.
In the Peacock Islands, they had to start a war with Shilius for the fate of the country!
"Elvin, the Alliance's fleet is ready."
Levina's figure disappeared from the image of the remote communication.
Elvin slowly retracted his consciousness from the [Mental Network] that had already adjusted the coverage range. He looked at the fully armed Anita, Sera, Nympho, Olivia, Angel, and Jeros.
"Hersey and Angel are in charge of guarding the house. The rest of you, set off now."
.....
Whoosh —!
Outside the Andaman Strait, the gateway of the Peacock Islands to the Eritrean Sea, along with the surging light of the river, warships flying the Tulip Family flag landed on the sea one after another.
Like a black cloud that could destroy a city, it pressed toward the Peacock Islands.
[Dream Cruise — Global Flash Strike]
This time, Elvin didn't have the leisure to spend several months traveling thousands of miles. Like a miracle, he directly teleported the entire Alliance fleet to the Peacock Islands.
At this moment.
The flames of war first ignited in the New Continent, igniting the Old Continent, the Southern Continent, the Peacock Islands, and then burned all the way to the whole world.
The countries of the continent had tacitly reached an alliance without a covenant. Kill the boss and then fight for the hegemony!
