Feng Zhan walked out of his lord's hall, breathed in the still cold spring air, stretched, looked at the still not very warm sun in the sky, and shouted loudly, winter was finally over.
Although the temperature at this time is still somewhat chilly, the warming is unstoppable. The forest has already begun its new season of growth in this early spring, signaling a new beginning.
"Brothers, let's go!"
Feng Zhan roared loudly, and with the blessing of a small amount of magic skills, the sound spread throughout the city. In a few years, Feng Zhan's small main city has been fully constructed by the dwarf craftsmen. It’s dozens of square kilometers.
There were no words, but the sound of uniform footsteps gave the best response. Countless armies set off and turned to leave. Feng Zhan did not stop, walked down the steps of his lord's hall, and walked onto a car that had already been The carriage was waiting there.
With a creak, the car door opened, got in, and set off.
The muddy roads cannot stop Feng Zhan's actions, because the roads in his territory are quite well constructed, and he does not need to lead his army step by step across the entire empire to reach the seaside. After all, that is simply It was a joke, that was the time needed, it was simply enough time for him to doubt his life.
After leaving the city and traveling twenty kilometers, a small city appeared. Troops continued to enter from it, but the city, which was only a few kilometers in size, showed no sign of being filled.
Feng Zhan's carriage entered it. There were already many people inside, but they were very quiet. When Feng Zhan's carriage was in the center, the place lit up with light, bright but familiar, not much different from usual. Straight to the sky, the teleportation is activated.
Inside the carriage, looking at the light transmitted from outside, the people inside were very calm and continued to do whatever they were supposed to do.
Only the little flying dragon kept jumping around in the carriage and was very excited. However, after being glared at by Lilith, he became very quiet. After all, even though he was a scary naughty kid, he was still quiet. bad boy.
"Dear, Andre, now you can tell me why you went to sea, and spent so much money to buy so many warships..." The female knight looked at Feng Zhan sitting opposite and said seriously. Asked, the cousin next to him didn't say anything, but the eyes looking at Feng Zhan showed that he was very interested.
Looking at the eager eyes of the two girls, Feng Zhan chuckled and said, "Please beg me, beg me, beg me, and I will tell you..."
However, he may have been so complacent for a moment that he forgot about the swelling and pain on his face. Before he could finish speaking, screams could already be heard in the carriage. The people around him who were teleporting together only glanced at him a few times. They no longer pay attention, they are used to it. The two ladies often have such close contact with the lord.
"You are not allowed to bully my husband!"
There was a scolding sound in the carriage, which instantly silenced the carriage, and then there was Feng Zhan's cry, "Celia is still nice to me!"
"Huh!?" Two voices said in unison, but Feng Zhan still stopped abruptly.
After a while of commotion, Feng Zhan was protected by the elf princess Celia and began to tell the reason for going to sea.
Just three years ago, one day shortly after the war at Devil's Gate ended, the sea trade ship of the Monroto Alliance Chamber of Commerce set out from the Lohia Holy Empire, intending to go to the Sea Empire, the Deep Sea Abyss Empire, to conduct trade. On the way, something unexpected happened.
Originally, that season was supposed to be a calm time, and it was indeed the case. The sea was sunny and windy. Everyone thought that this would be a very smooth trip, and they were not worried about encountering pirates. After all, they were With a fleet of nearly 500 large ships, not just any pirate can make plans at will.
But sometimes, there are some things that I can't help but talk about. After the fleet left the waters of the Lohia Holy Empire for hundreds of kilometers, trouble appeared.
On the sea level, a black line faintly appeared. At first, they thought it was some kind of fish school, but when the elf sailors went to observe it, they immediately exclaimed. It was a fleet, starting with them. The fleet was quite large. The ships were very large and all were pitch-black standard warships. The skull and crossbones flags were hung on the masts. The identity of the pirates could not be clearer.
But when the leader of the caravan saw this pirate team, he still wanted to fight, but he finally gave up because a worse situation appeared.
Not only in front of them, but also on their sides and backs, pirate ships also appeared quietly. Except for the fact that there was no trace of pirates on one side, they had already blocked the road.
Before being caught up, the team leader made the wisest choice and fled in the direction where the pirate ship had not yet appeared. He no longer cared whether this was a trap set by the pirates. If he was caught up by the pirates, he would face three With a pirate ship twice their size, they would probably die without a place to die. What's more, most of them are just merchant ships. Although they have certain combat capabilities, they are nothing compared to pirates of this size.
Like a pack of wolves that surround their prey but have full patience and endurance, the pirates always fall behind the merchant ship. No matter how they escape, they can't get away. A whole day and night has passed, and all the sailors can It was said that they were exhausted, but the pirates behind them seemed to be tireless, always following them, and the distance never widened too much, nor did it shrink too much.
Such days lasted for three full days, and almost everyone was on the verge of collapse. They could not escape in a straight line, because once they deviated from a certain direction, pirates would suddenly accelerate to intercept them, and their speed was affected. It has a huge impact, but it has never been caught up.
Until the dawn of the fourth day was about to come, the originally calm sea turned into a violent storm in an instant. However, rather than being toyed with by the pirates behind them like herds of sheep, they would rather die in the collapse. .
Terrifying rainstorms, terrifying hurricanes, and crazy waves left the merchant ships helpless, but miraculously they were safe here. Not a single ship was silent. After sailing in the stormy ocean for half a day, those The pirates disappeared without even realizing it.
Although they were ecstatic, they could not relax even a little bit, because in this violent storm, they might face the fate of the ship being destroyed and people killed in the next moment.
But just a few minutes after they discovered that the pirates had disappeared, the violent storm disappeared. However, this was just the beginning. When they sailed out of the storm, they saw a new continent not far away.
It was a place that had never been discovered before. It was not an island, but a real continent. No one knew how big it was, because in their field of vision, it was almost completely occupied by land.
As for why they think this is not an island, that's because according to the sea chart, there can't be an island nearby, and there is also a magician on the island. According to the magician's detection, even if he exhausts his magic, the land here cannot How much can you really see clearly.
No one can suppress the joy of discovering a new continent, because it often represents wealth, unlimited wealth. Many times, you can always find some novel and very valuable things on newly discovered islands, let alone here. It's a new continent.
After sailing only a few kilometers, they docked. They were so excited that they couldn't wait for the big ship to dock. Of course, they couldn't dock. In the small boat, almost half of the fleet rushed aboard.
The moment they landed on the coast, everyone burst into excited roars. After only a few kilometers deep, leaving the sandy coast, there turned out to be a different scene inside, with mithril everywhere in their eyes, which was simply shocking people. nerves, and more unimaginable precious metals, forming hills one after another, just sitting on the earth.
They are crazy. This is simply their land of wealth. The terrifying amount of mithril will make them extremely rich. This is just near the coast. If you go deeper, there may be even more amazing discoveries.
However, it didn't stop there. Just when they were losing their minds due to the wealth in front of them, they were suddenly awakened by howls. Countless figures appeared around them, and each figure... He suddenly appeared behind half of the people here, with a flash of sword, blood spurting out, and his head missing.
The exciting smell of blood spread quickly. After a moment of sluggishness, I looked at those figures, but they didn't move, because just behind them, a new batch of figures appeared, and the shadow of death directly hit them. They enveloped each other for just one second. Some people might be lucky enough to survive two seconds, but the result didn't change much.
At the same time, those who still stayed at sea and did not enter this continent also encountered their problems, because those pirate ships appeared just as quietly as they disappeared, and the terrifying artillery fire was at this moment , directly submerged the fleet that was almost gathered in an area.
It was just a round of artillery fire, and they had been completely destroyed. There was no possibility that the wreckage of the fleet existed. Under the countless ashes, the sea water that was directly shaken up washed away who knows where.
If there were no other circumstances, perhaps nothing that happened here would be known. This fleet could only be regarded as a shipwreck, just like the sunken ships that disappear into the sea every year for unknown reasons.
But this time, there is a different situation. In this very ordinary and inconspicuous ship of the Monroto Alliance Chamber of Commerce, there is actually a magician, and what a coincidence, this magician The division is still dedicated to building teleportation arrays, because he is going to the Sea Empire Abyss Empire to participate in a very important teleportation array construction work. For some reasons, he boarded the cargo ship of this caravan.
It was just an ordinary trip, but he encountered such a situation. The moment pirates of that size appeared, he felt that something was a little unusual, so he exhausted all the materials he could carry you on that ordinary ship. , in a few days, he designed a teleportation array. It was not very big, but it could teleport very far.
Although he learned about the existence of mithril and other valuable materials from those who landed, the magician did not leave his cabin rashly because of greed. After all, although his level of constructing teleportation arrays is second to none, The real combat effectiveness is a bit terrible.
The moment he lost contact with the people who landed in front, he knew something was definitely going on, and immediately activated the teleportation array to leave. Just when the teleportation array was lit, the pirate ship reappeared, which already made him understand whether he could Survival depends on your teleportation array.
