Thousands of soldiers marched forward in silence in the rain. They moved in unison, without a single noise. Everywhere they looked, everything was gray. Their armor, helmet tassels, and cloaks complemented each other.
"Who are they?" The veterans on the tower looked down at the fortress in awe. They looked at each other in dismay. This army was obviously a strong one, and the most difficult opponent to deal with on the battlefield. But Aouine still had such a strong army. Did they come from Fort Corcoz? Or did they come from the snowy battlefield on the northern plateau?
Until a flag pierced through the darkness. On the flag, the emblem of a single-horned white lion had been there for hundreds of years. It carried the most glorious history of this ancient kingdom, shining brightly.
"I'm afraid they are not ordinary people," the captain beside him muttered to himself. He turned around and said, "It's the White Lion Legion! The White Lion Legion has arrived. Open the gate! "
"Open the gate!"
"Open the gate!"
The sentinel's command was transmitted from the towering city wall, intermittently passing through the curtain of rain. The huge wooden door pushed open the muddy water and slowly opened with the low and heavy creaking of the capstan.
The marching troops stopped.
Owen looked up and stared at the gray walls of the ancient fortress. This was the center of the southern part of the kingdom that they had been guarding. This city was built by the late King Erik. "Its glory was written on its walls. From now on, Erouine was no longer under the control of the Cruz people." This wall had been weathered and baptized by the flames of war, but it had never fallen into the hands of the enemy.
This time, it was going to cleanse itself.
"White Lion Legion, enter the city!"
…
Before daybreak, Madeleine dragged the newcomer to the quay. It was dark outside the port, but the waves were so huge that the sea seemed to be overturned. The storm swept across the entire outer sea. Beyond the chain, the sea was boiling, and a line of white broken waves was clearly visible under the headland lighthouse. He had never seen such violent weather in the past ten years.
"Damn it, the waves are so big." Madeleine praised in the wind and rain. He had been a port guard for twelve years and could be considered experienced and knowledgeable, but he had never seen such a spectacular scene.
"I have never seen such a storm since I was young. The old witch in Sea Breeze Cape said that the Dark Dragon has been resurrected. What we see now is an omen …" the new recruit said with a pale face as he watched a small sailboat being dragged into the open sea from the anchorage. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the huge whirlpool. He couldn't help but tremble as he spoke.
"Cut the crap! I can't drown you!" Madeleine kicked him. "Let's get to work. Stop procrastinating." He looked up and could not help but shake his head. "But this year is indeed unusual..."
"Ah!"
"What now?"
"Captain, there seems to be something in the sea!"
"Are you seeing things? They're probably sailors who fell overboard. May Martha bless them and pray for their own good fortune. " Madeleine shook his head. Falling into the water at this time of the year, it would be a miracle to survive. Madeleine did not know where this unlucky person came from. Perhaps it was someone from the previous boat.
"No, no, it's a shark! There are a lot of sharks in the sea! "the new recruit suddenly screamed as if he had seen a ghost.
"Sharks?" Madeleine was stunned and could not help but turn his head. On the surface of the sea, there was a white wave with an erect fin that looked like a flag. Then, a second wave, a third wave, dozens of white waves passed through the huge waves, forming a huge assault arrowhead that pointed straight at the dock.
Then, a second and a third arrowhead appeared. Almost in the blink of an eye, the entire port of Ampere Seale was facing the attack at the same time. On the surface of the sea, hundreds of thousands of waves were accelerating, like a huge pack of wolves rushing over.
Madeleine's face suddenly changed.
"That's not a shark!"
"It's an enemy attack!"
He only felt his legs go weak. He staggered and turned around, wanting to rush to the alarm bell on the dock. But just as he turned around, he hit a solid wall with a bang. The old port guard only felt his vision go black. He could not help but look up in fear...
What he saw was a humanoid, snake-shaped monster with a cold, angular face that resembled a lizard's.
Naga!?
Madeleine's eyes were filled with disbelief as he slowly fell to the ground.
Sani retracted his hand and looked coldly at the two guards who had fainted on the ground. He had seen the weakness of humans before. But such a weak race also had impressive strong people. He turned around and looked at the sea. It was like a magnificent picture with a violent storm as the background, and under this picture, countless Nagas were landing...
In the blink of an eye, the dock and the trestle bridge had been declared the change of hands...
Ampere Seale's seven docks, one backup dock, and two military docks, were attacked at the same time. The port guards were unable to resist and were defeated in an instant...
"Dock No.3 has fallen."
"Dock No.4 has fallen..."
"Sir, they are setting fire to the ships!"
"How is this possible!?" Qinoan was almost screaming at his subordinates. In fact, he did not need to report to know the situation at the port. Outside the window, there was a storm, but in the direction of the dock, there was a blazing fire. "Are you all useless? Come on, tell me, who is attacking us! "
"Sir, it's the Nagas! Grey Fin Nagas! "
"Nagas?" The deputy director of the port almost threw the ink bottle on the desk. "You can't even defeat a group of bandits?"
"No, sir! But there are too many of them! "The adjutant quickly explained.
"Too many? A hundred? A thousand? " Qinoan was furious. Although the Grey Fin Nagas often attacked merchant ships on the sea route, they almost never attacked the port. His first reaction was that his subordinates were trying to shirk the responsibility.
This was the most common thing they did.
"No, sir, a thousand! Tens of thousands! "The adjutant could not believe it, but he forced himself to answer. But this time, Qinoan didn't get angry because everyone heard a cry of surprise.
"Oh my god!"
Everyone turned their heads. Amidst the raging sea waves, a huge shadow suddenly appeared. The monster was so huge that it was like a floating mountain that suddenly appeared in everyone's field of vision.
Sea … Demon Whale!
Qinoan slumped in his seat. His mind was in a mess, but there was only one thought in his mind. He could not be the director of the port anymore! I don't want it anymore!
What the hell is going on?
… …
"The port is under attack. Requesting backup?" The commander of the patrolling cavalry regiment, Sir Zinopa Lee, took the order and looked at the messenger suspiciously. He pondered for a moment and raised his head. The sky in the direction of the port was half red. Even an idiot would know what was going on.
"Sir?"
He shook his head. His gaze became deep, as if his mind was trying to penetrate the heavy rain. The surrounding cavalry turned around and waited for their commander's orders.
"We have a more important mission," Sir Zinopa replied.
"But what about the port?"
"Let Qinoan take care of it himself! Are the people of Ampere Seale feeding them a bunch of good-for-nothings? If he can't handle it, let him complain to the parliament himself! " Zinopa snorted and added, "The Grey Fin Nagas are taking advantage of the situation. They will get what they deserve in the future —"
However, before he could finish his sentence, another messenger stumbled into everyone's field of vision from afar. Before he arrived, his voice was heard. "Sir, it's not good! The Nagas have begun to attack the city … "
"What?!" Zinopa's face changed. "That's impossible. Are those bandits crazy? This is no longer a robbery. Martha above! They are declaring war! "
The Grey Fin Nagas were declaring war. They were participating in this civil war —
"Onward, onward. The storm is protecting the people of Manas. Let them be fearless!"
On the dock of the first army of Ampere Seale, Sani watched all of this coldly. He raised a blue trident and pointed it forward. Behind him, thunder and lightning flashed. In front of him, a torrent of water surged.
"Her Majesty the Queen has ordered the Grey Fin Nagas to attack the inner city of Ampere Seale! Meet up with our allies on land. May the sacred covenant be unbreakable. Let us fight together again! "
"Attack!"
The emblem of the Heavenly Snake Manas could be clearly seen on the tip of the trident. If Brando was here, he would definitely recognize it as the most precious treasure of the Grey Fin Nagas, the Scepter of the Sea God.
Sir Zinopa Lee's face was as cold as iron. He turned around and raised his sword.
"Patrol Cavalry, listen to my orders. Your enemies today are those who are plotting to divide the kingdom. Follow me and attack the Grey Fin Nagas!!"
"Erouine!"
"Long live!"
"Long live!"
The storm raged. The sword was pointed forward. In the sound of the wind and rain, people and horses neighed. On the square, large groups of cavalry were quickly turning around. In the blink of an eye, the patrol cavalry had split up.
"The patrol cavalry is moving. He really did have plans."
Count Audine put down his brass binoculars. He stood together with a stranger in a straw raincoat. The fat noble was still following behind him. They had all gone through the test of life and death in the Black Forest. At this moment, the relationship between them was much stronger than before.
Behind them, there were hundreds of silent noble private soldiers. In the pouring rain, everyone was solemn.
The count turned around. "Master Ludeo."
The mysterious man in the straw raincoat nodded. "I have received news from the Loop of Sky. I don't know what happened to the Loop of Trade Winds, but I hope they are doing the right thing."
"Whether it is right or wrong, we have to try it for ourselves." Audine's gaze pierced through the rain. Between the sea and the sky, the silver raindrops formed a straight line. "Besides, I have confidence in that person."
"It has nothing to do with confidence. To me, this is an order." The man in the straw raincoat shook his head.
He raised his hand.
There was a ring on his hand. The ring was as green as a dream, and the emerald on it had formed a tree shape.
'Crash!' A series of soft sounds could be heard. Everyone could not help but turn around. A few miles away from Ampere Seale was the Frada Forest. The forest canopy stretched for thousands of miles. They could only see a black mass of birds of prey soaring into the sky. In a moment, they covered the sky.
In the blink of an eye, they were like a black cloud pressing down on the port of Ampere Seale.
The guards at the south gate of the port of Ampere Seale felt that today was the end of the world. Everyone could not help but turn pale and stare blankly at the scene. Countless, uncountable birds were flying straight towards the city. Martha above, what the hell is going on!
And from a bird's eye view, the ancient port seemed to be caught in a terrible torrent.
The torrent was raging.
Above the clouds, a huge black shadow disappeared in a flash. A pair of golden eyes blinked and could not help but exclaim in admiration.
"How interesting, little guy."
