In the days that followed, Burbanga Island...well, the island heavily defended by the undead, had always been extremely peaceful.
The warships of the Human Expeditionary Force never appeared in the waters around the island again, and not even a sail could be seen.
Just every morning and noon, a series of war fortresses fly over the high altitude of Burbhanga Island very punctually.
It looks like they are scouting Burbanga Island and nearby waters.
The undead on the island have nothing to do every day. After the human war fortress flies over, there are not even a few birds in the sky.
With the vast sky above our heads and the endless sea all around us, these monotonous days can drive people crazy.
The lichs looked at the sea in the distance, all eagerly looking forward to the arrival of the human army.
It's like a sad woman standing on the top of a cliff, looking through the autumn water, looking forward to the return of her husband who has been away from home for many years - the mother is so stupid, why doesn't this turtle grandson come to pinch her?
Some dark mages even dream that when they wake up and the outside is occupied by human fleets, they can have a good fight with humans and let them see the true abilities of the immortals.
However, many days have passed since the human fleet composed of more than a dozen warships fired a few cannons, and the main fleet of the human coalition is still without a trace.
Judging from the time, these guys should have arrived just by swiping with their hands.
Cameron is full of confidence in this. He thinks that mankind will be frightened by the steel defenses he has built.
I must have frightened the human fleet. At this time, they must be hiding behind and shivering in fear, and they are helpless...
Or maybe they are planning some ulterior conspiracy.
Therefore, Cameron always reminds his subordinates: The hateful human imperialists are determined to destroy themselves. Therefore, we must always remain vigilant.
If the enemy doesn't come, you'll have to wait for yourself. Once he comes, it will be a shocking and extremely bloody battle with your own side~!
But we don't have to be afraid. In front of our defenses, which are like iron walls, despicable and shameless human beings will definitely be beaten to death.
All the lichs agreed with his reminder.
At the same time, Cameron was also praised for his awareness of enemy defense and command ability.
I praise Lord Cameron as the number one person in His Majesty's throne, the high priest's personal disciple, the hope of future immortals, far-sighted, wise and wise. He is indeed different from ordinary people.
Under the leadership of Mr. Cameron, the Eternals will surely overcome the current temporary difficulties and rebuild their glory.
Under Cameron's influence, the lichs who had suffered successive tragic losses since the war began were refreshed and their morale was high. Many of them even wrote suicide notes in advance and divided their property, waiting for the human army.
Come, everyone rushes forward and fights them to the death.
For the future of the eternal being’s light, I will risk my life~!
Cameron was very satisfied with the high morale of the undead, and sighed in his heart that the military spirit was available. At the same time, he secretly regretted that if there was such a high morale in the human continent, there would be no need to worry about defeating a group of weak elemental mages.
Herod and Edwood were a bunch of incompetent cowards. They had the most powerful aerial power at the time, but they couldn't even defeat a Maple Leaf Danlin.
Cameron thought to himself that if he had risked his life like he did now, even if it was a collision, he would have destroyed Maple Leaf Danlin's magic tower.
Without the magic tower, it would be easy to destroy the Maple Leaf Danlin. Without the Maple Leaf Danlin, humans would have no war fortress. Without the war fortress, humanity would not be able to win this battle.
What kind of artillery battleship can only be passively beaten in front of a war fortress?
Why is it that like now, humans have many more war fortresses than the undead, and the situation is completely reversed.
After all, it wasn't because his teacher favored a bunch of sycophants who only knew how to flatter him, and he wasted a great opportunity.
Cameron gritted his teeth with hatred every time he thought of these things. Naturally, he would not have a good look on the staff around the high priest.
As time passed, the lichs became more and more impatient, but the powerful enemy that Cameron mentioned never appeared~!
Even though Cameron is full of confidence and reminds his men almost every day to stay vigilant, he can't help but start to have a little doubt about what is going on and why the enemy hasn't come yet?
Should all human beings withdraw and stop fighting?
This is not actually Cameron's fault.
In fact, as a lich with powerful magic power and unlimited life, his strategic vision is also quite good, and he is outstanding among lichs.
In the vast ocean between humans and Semites, there were not many islands.
There are only seven or eight islands scattered along the route like a necklace of pearls, tying the entire route together.
In this era, the speed of ships is low and the loading capacity is small. Many transoceanic smuggling ships are hundreds of tons. It can be said that smugglers are gambling with the ocean with their lives.
Therefore, if you want to cross the ocean, you have to choose an island, anchor on the shore, avoid the storm, replenish food and water, and even replenish the crew members who died on the way.
Relatively speaking, the importance of Burbanga Island on the route is more prominent and important than the Island of Sorrow.
Because for medium and large ships of more than 300 tons, even if supplies are carried out on the Island of Sorrow, if they want to bypass Burbanga and get to the next island, the people on the ship will be thirsty to death.
And once they get lost in the sea, which is what happened often in the past, those people can only die of thirst and starvation.
Countless ships disappear on the ocean every year, never to be found again.
Therefore, holding on to this island is equivalent to firmly blocking the route of mankind's attack on the Semites.
But...but~!
Like all people who have lived too long, Cameron who participated in the First Expedition has an extremely stubborn mind. Under such circumstances, his vision naturally has great limitations.
He is still judging mankind from the same perspective he had when he invaded the Caribbean hundreds of years ago, which is far behind Edwood, who has always been involved in human activities.
For more than a thousand years, human beings have been developing rapidly under the pressure of the undead high priest and the undead clan who may counterattack at any time.
Not to mention. Now, with the help of the Flying Eagle Group and the Alchemy Research Institute, their technology has made breakthrough developments and has begun to enter the steam age~!
The steam engine and the great industrial revolution gave people more powerful power, cheaper goods, larger ships, and more ferocious firepower...
Driven by the steam engine, the entire world will enter a magnificent era.
Among human sailing ships, even the most backward Galenic sailing ship was designed entirely for ocean voyages.
The hull is wide, the tonnage is large, the speed is fast, the maneuverability is strong, and the number of sailors is large. It is not comparable to the ships made by the Undead and the Semitic people. In order to maintain their totalitarian rule, the Undead people have always been interested in the Semitic maritime undertakings.
They adopted a repressive policy towards the development of the Semitic people. In fact, they adopted a high-pressure attitude towards all Semitic affairs.
As long as the direction is clear, the route is clear, the wind direction is right, and the courage is enough, human sailing ships can even cross the entire ocean in one and a half months without supplies at all~!
Not to mention human battleships.
This crystallization of the industrial age has extremely powerful power and ferocious artillery fire. It can destroy almost any enemy it encounters.
What's more, Lord Lorraine also owns an aircraft carrier that is far ahead of its time, and an aircraft specially designed to seize air supremacy.
While Lich Cameron was still waiting on the island, the human fleet had already bypassed Burbanga Island and continued to move towards the west.
The idea of the coalition forces is very simple. If they can't defeat it, then they won't fight. The island won't move anyway, so let the undead stay on it.
At this time, Lorraine had already captured the last island of the trip, the Frozen Island.
The lichs put all their defense forces on Bulbanga Island, but there was no strength at all on the Frozen Island.
However, in order to prevent the news of his attack on the Frozen Island from being revealed, the Lord still sent several war fortresses at an extremely far distance to circle around the island.
After discovering the missing ships and the Lich's war fortress, they blocked the entire sea area from the air, and finally dispatched warships.
As usual, Lord Luo sent several battleships to bombard the harbor. Then he sent marines to land and sweep the battlefield.
The dark mages and undead creatures left behind on the island caused some minor trouble to the coalition forces.
After a sweeping sweep, three days later, the Marine Corps raised the Eagle Flag on the highest mountaintop on the frozen island, announcing that the entire island had completely fallen into human hands.
At the same time, this also means that the human fleet has completely cut off the transportation and supply lines on Burbanga Island.
Burbhanga is just an island in the sea.

‘Pah, pah, pah…’ A series of firecrackers sounded continuously.
Looking from a distance, I could see the flames of exploding firecrackers beating and shining on the wooden steps of the church. At the same time, a thick layer of red debris fell on the ground.
A makeshift band played off-key hymns.
When the sound of firecrackers finally ended, a plume of gunpowder smoke slowly rose into the air and finally dissipated at the tall spire of the church.
Lorraine stood in front of the church, looking at this simple building with satisfaction.
In just ten days, a church was built on the frozen island.
Although this church is entirely made of wood, the building materials are from the island.
Moreover, many places are not painted, leaving the white wood inside exposed, exuding the damp smell of logs, but the efficiency is really not low.
Right in front of the church, Cardinal Claude had a smile on his face, and his eyes narrowed into red slits in joy. No matter who came, he would affectionately grab the other person's hand and shake it vigorously.
It was obvious that Bishop Claude was very excited.
But beside him, Cardinal Rhett and Cardinal Gray had helpless and wry smiles on their faces, even looking a little depressed.
This is understandable.
The priest of this church will be personally appointed by Cardinal Claude in the future, who is his younger brother.
This means that this place is actually under his jurisdiction.
But Rhett and Greco are still unable to intervene for the time being.
Originally, this church should be jointly managed by the three of them. However, this church only has the power to appoint one priest.
As senior priests in the Holy See, they usually have to fight for a long time when they see a bone, let alone the right to appoint priests on this island, such a fat job~!
This island is isolated offshore, stuck in the golden waterway. There are many ships coming and going. No one can ask for a peace charm, a immunity charm or something like that.
As long as you move your fingers a little, you can hold a bowl full of it.
And you are far away overseas, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, so why don’t you just play whatever you want?
Therefore, the above three people are also arguing about this. They all want to have the right to appoint.
Priests have a lifelong tenure. As long as they do not make blasphemous remarks, they must pay a fixed amount of money every year. The rest of the Holy See will not care about it. Even if they engage in promiscuous relations between men and women, engage in corruption and bribery, or even the worst and most despicable things, invite children.
Eating lollipops and so on. Everyone just turned a blind eye.
Therefore, the three people all fought fiercely for this appointment right.
Claude wants to hand over the job to his nephew. Rhett wants to take care of his brother-in-law, and Uncle Greco's illegitimate son also needs a job.
Later, when it seemed that it would affect their work, Sir Luo gave them an extremely fair idea - let's all roll together~!
Whoever gets more money will get it. However, if you make money in the future, it will be divided equally among the three people.
Although this idea seemed a bit absurd, it won the unanimous approval of the three people. This idea was really great, fair and reasonable, and it did not harm the harmony between everyone.
Although gambling seems to be against the teachings, there is a famous saying that says: Doesn’t the God of Light also play dice?
Therefore, when everyone throws dice, it is not inconsistent with the teachings. It completely inherits and carries forward the teachings of fairness and justice of the great God of Light.
In the end, Claude was extremely lucky to throw a big point and won the appointment.
At this time, someone came over with a long red cloth strip and blocked it at the door of the church - there was no way, it was supposed to be silk, but it was too expensive. Everyone had to use a cloth strip instead
.
Immediately afterwards, Archduke Julius, the Count of Lorraine, and several cardinals stepped forward, then used scissors to cut off the red cloth strip.
Everyone immediately applauded to express their congratulations. This was the first church built in the Semitic area. Naturally, it needed to be celebrated grandly.
Originally, the church on the Island of Sorrows was supposed to be the first one, and it needed a more grand celebration. However, before the church was completed, the Grand Duke, the Lord, and other important officials had already led their troops to march westward, so naturally there was no time to participate.
And this has become an unsolved case in history.
Hundreds of years later, in order to compete for tourism resources and apply for world cultural and material heritage projects, the two churches on the Ice Island and the Isle of Mourn both claimed that they were the first churches built in Semitic areas.
The two groups had a huge quarrel when the father-in-law said the public was right, and the mother-in-law said the mother-in-law was right. However, at this time, the truth had already been lost in the long river of history...
Afterwards, everyone flocked into the church to visit.
Some devout believers knelt down in front of the cross, prayed quietly, and then stuffed money into the donation box in the middle.
Listening to the sound of the gold coins falling in, Lord Luo almost had the urge to rob, and then he couldn't help but sigh: It's so easy for these gangsters to swindle money~!
However, despite sighing in his heart, he still kept walking and followed Claude towards the back hall of the church.
This is just a wall away from the front hall.
He saw a huge marble stone table placed in the center of the back hall. Lorraine took a closer look and found that it was not actually a stone table, but a magic circle. There were various kinds of symbols engraved on it.
Pattern symbols. And they look vaguely familiar.
At this time, Claude smiled slightly and said: "Sir, you see, this is our Holy Light Array,"
He paused for a moment, and then continued triumphantly: "In terms of formations, we are much better than those magicians. They don't know how to collect the power of faith at all, they only know how to enhance their own strength.
.
No matter how strong a person's muscles are and how fast he can run, can he outrun a horse? The reason why humans are strong is because we know how to use other things."
As he spoke, he reached out and flicked the magic array, and then said: "This holy light array is quite big, but in fact, only an intermediate priest can control it.
You only need to conduct the collected power of faith to this magic circle, and then through it, you can detect all evil creatures within 300 kilometers nearby."
As his words fell, bursts of soft and white light were emitted from the magic array. Then, small dots began to flash out one by one in the magic array.
Claude pointed to those little dots and said: "Look, these white dots are us humans, and this red dot is the lich... eh... holy shit~!"
Looking at the flashing red dots on it, he couldn't help but cursed: What a coincidence. As soon as the Holy Light Array was built, he encountered a lich.
Everyone in Lorraine also looked attentively, and sure enough, they saw a small red dot slowly moving forward in an open area.
That should be a ship.
Unfortunately, the speed of this old-fashioned sailing boat can be described as a turtle.
At this moment, Claude suddenly jumped up to more than three feet high. He really jumped up to three feet high.
Lorraine was shocked. She thought this guy was crazy because of convulsions.
In the next second, Claude was already running towards the door. As he ran, he shouted loudly: "It's great. We just opened today and this business is coming to us. Come on, hurry up. Hurry up,
The business is done. We guys are going to have a good time today~!
Ha ha ha ha……"
In the blink of an eye, he had disappeared without a trace.
The remaining two cardinals also bowed to the Archduke and Lorraine, and then hurried out.
Before the war, the lordship had announced the guild points in detail, and everyone was going crazy trying to get points. Why these cardinals have the right to appoint priests is not because they did several things on the Isle of Mourn a few days ago.
A lich, earned it by himself?
Now there is another opportunity to earn points, so naturally you cannot miss it.
A minute later, I heard a whistling sound coming from above my head. It was the sound of the war fortress galloping.
Lorraine could tell that the war fortress was almost flying out against the roof - those bastards, in order to grab the war credit, had already flown out before the war fortress could be lifted up.
He couldn't help but cursed secretly: Looking back, I have to teach those brats a lesson and make them more aware of safety~! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation at Qidian.
