An Empire patrol ship was sailing on the sea.
In the command room, the captain looked at the sea map in front of him and said, "Alright, let's put in more effort. In six hours, the cruise will be completed."
"That's six hours. It won't pass in the blink of an eye." The first mate shrugged. "I haven't been back on land for so long. This time, I want to go back and relax."
"Haha." The captain said, "Aren't you afraid that Wendy will beat you to death?"
Just as the Empire's navy was teasing each other, a scout at the side shouted, "Sir, is there a problem?"
"What's wrong?"
"Something is approaching us quickly." The crew member pointed at a small dot in the light and shadow magic and said, "It's so fast!"
The captain walked over and looked at the fast moving dot. He frowned and said, "What's going on? This should be a military control zone. There shouldn't be any ships here. What the hell is this?
How long will it take for it to reach us? "
The crew member shrugged. "No matter what the hell it is, it's very fast and … it's very small. In five minutes at most, he will bump into us. "
"Attention, this is an emergency. Everyone, be alert." The captain said through the walkie-talkie, "Turn around immediately. Let's avoid this damn thing first."
However, one minute later, there were screams again.
"No, it's turning around. It's speeding up and coming in our direction."
"Hmph, bastard. Let's let it have a taste of our power."
In the next moment, the four fish fell into the sea with a thud and flew in the direction of the light spot.
However, the expected explosion did not happen. After the torpedoes came into contact with the dot, it was as if they were swallowed by a black hole. There was no explosion.
There were no loud noises, no tremors. The calm sea did not even feel anything.
"What's going on?"
Amidst everyone's exclamations, the light spot's true form finally appeared in front of them. It was a white wave whose true form could not be seen clearly. It was as if there was a monster swimming rapidly under the surface of the sea, splashing up endless waves.
"Fire! Fire! "
"Don't let it come over!"
The high-speed artillery instantly covered the entire wave, and torpedoes fell directly into the sea one after another, shooting in the direction of Zuo Qingcang.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Explosions rang out continuously, and a large area of flames blew away the waves. Even so, everyone could only see a blurry shadow on the water surface.
Looking at the battleship before him, Zuo Qingcang waved his hand. As the Netherworld's Mouth opened up, the few torpedoes that had been shot out earlier shot out, creating streams of white splashes in the seawater as they collided toward the battleship.
Before the torpedo struck the battleship, Zuo Qingcang's body had already crashed into the battleship at an even faster speed.
He didn't change his movements, nor did he change his direction. He didn't make any preparations to hold his head. It was as easy as running into water.
The terrifying kinetic energy and power directly acted on the steel plate of the ship, and the huge impact instantly tore the hull of the ship apart.
Like a terrifying human-shaped armor-piercing bullet, Zuo Qingcang's body had torn a big hole in the hull of the ship within a few seconds. The entire ship was even knocked back more than a hundred meters under the impact of this impact.
When Zuo Qingcang smashed through the last layer of steel plate, he continued to move toward Europe without stopping. The torpedoes that were fired just now also hit the hull at the same time.
Flames soared into the sky, and the high temperature and explosion almost covered every space of the ship. The hull of the ship, which was forcefully smashed into two by Zuo Qingcang, began to sink even before the explosion.
…
"Calling headquarters, calling headquarters, we've already received an unknown attack."
"I repeat, we've already received an unknown attack, we need …"
With a click, the recording was cut off.
At the back of the conference room, the head of the Imperial Royal Mage Corps, who was known as the strongest person besides the emperor, was sitting there silently with his hands supporting his chin.
This was the fifth patrol ship to be sunk in a day.
A mage manipulated the light and shadow to show the Imperial Naval Defense Line. A huge red arrow was moving little by little, and its target was the continent of Europe.
"No matter what he is, this thing is attacking us, and it's full of hostility."
"Where is he now?" Rafael asked calmly.
Everyone lowered their heads, looking terrified.
The adjutant next to Rafael said, "Since he landed in Beja, we have lost track of him."
Rafael was still sitting in the chair, motionless, with his hands supporting his chin, but it was this silence that made the people around him even more uneasy.
"He might be somewhere now."
Everyone subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. The adjutant manipulated the light and shadow, and three red crosses appeared on the coastline map of the Empire.
"Rommel, Thanos, and Fuqiu. These are the closest cities from the north, west, and south after landing in Beja. If he wants to enter the city, he will inevitably enter these three cities. "
Rafael said calmly, "What if he is not interested in these cities? What if he bypasses the cities and checkpoints and comes in our direction? "
"Uh …" The adjutant was speechless, because if this was really the case, the other party was hiding like this, and they could only passively defend and conduct a carpet search.
Rafael did not continue. He just ordered, "The third, sixth, and seventh divisions, go here, here, and here …" He drew several circles on the map in one breath.
"Let them guard these checkpoints. From now on, the entire Beja area will enter a state of military control, and all traffic will be stopped."
"But there will be huge economic losses if we do this. The Parliament of Nobles will not agree to this kind of thing. "
Rafael said calmly, "Since when does the Ministry of Magic have to consider the attitude of the Parliament of Nobles when doing things? Now is a special time, and we can't let go of any small threat.
Finish these things by today, and before tomorrow's dinner, whether that thing is a human, an ancient beast, or something else, I want to see it lying obediently on the dissection table in my laboratory. "
Hearing Rafael's words, everyone already knew that he had made up his mind, and they all bowed in respect.
"Yes, sir."
…
At the same time, in the Empire's Beja area, outside the city of Thanos.
A man stood on the cliff, looking at the huge city below.
His long black hair fluttered in the wind, and his red eyes revealed a trace of ferocity. He wore a forehead protector on his head and a red armor on his body.
"I can finally fight with all my strength. Sure enough, only when I use this body personally can I feel the feeling of blood boiling. This is called war."
