For the sake of caution, after the two lichs were eliminated, the three war fortresses hovered on the sea for a while, and even lowered their height to the sea, carefully searching for lichs among the warship fragments and debris scattered on the sea.
Or the trace of the dark mage.
It wasn't until it was finally confirmed that there were no more lichs that they turned around and left triumphantly as victors.
As for the wreckage of ships floating on the sea and the sailors struggling with pieces of wood, they pretended not to see it. The plan of the carrier-based aircraft never included taking in prisoners of war.
Loading a group of enemy prisoners into a war fortress is obviously not a good thing.
The mages on the war fortress are not in the mood to care about dozens of enemies.
Even if some people are kind-hearted, they just silently pray to the God of Light in their hearts, hoping that the poor sailors can hold on to those wooden boards until the naval patrol arrives.
At least the weather was good, it didn't look like there was a storm, and they could probably survive the night in the sea, of course, if there were no sharks in the sea.
This is not to say that human soldiers are kind-hearted and compassionate. Soldiers on the battlefield ignore this. For them, safety comes first.
Rather, it was said that the military needed to capture a few prisoners in order to learn about the current situation of the Semitic people from their mouths.
What's more, now is the Age of Discovery, and slave laborers who know navigation skills, especially the ability to sail long distances, are also very valuable and belong to high-tech jobs.
If you take it to the auction house, it can be sold for seven to eight hundred gold coins.
With the official establishment of the church on the frozen island by the coalition forces, the reconnaissance scope covered the surrounding sea areas, completely blocking the transportation and connections between the Semitic mainland and Burbanga Island, turning Burbanga into an isolated island in the sea.

The lich Melalens stood on the cliff of the island, facing the blazing sunshine that he hated. He looked far away at the vast sea, motionless, and allowed the sea breeze to blow his black robes around.
At this time, the direction he was looking at was no longer the east of the imaginary human attack. Melalens had been looking to the west, which was the direction of the Semitic continent and the direction of the supply ships.
But a few hours passed, until the sun gradually set in the west and slowly fell under the sea. The sky was covered with orange-red clouds, and there was still no movement on the sea. It was so calm that it made people crazy.
Melalance couldn't help but lamented for a long time, and said helplessly in his heart: It seems that the supply ship will not come today~!
Only then did he truly understand why those cunning, despicable, shameless, and dirty humans blew up all the ships in the port.
Since humans completely destroyed the ships on the island, not even a sampan was left, and no ships have come in during this period. These days, Burbanga Island has been cut off from the outside world.
Melalens didn't know what was happening outside. People on the Semitic continent didn't know what was happening on Burbanga Island at the moment.
Although mages can use their magic to send some messages far away, they are still limited by distance and may be lost.
Furthermore, as mages, it would be difficult for others to use them.
Otherwise, Lorraine would not have to spend a lot of money to build a telegraph network connected to China Unicom and China Railway.
Even the powerful lichs cannot deliver messages across more than a thousand miles. There is no teleportation array on Burbanga Island that is expensive and takes a long time to construct.
Now Burbanga Island has completely lost contact with the outside world.
In order to find out what was going on in the outside world and where the damn human coalition forces were, Cameron also sent several batches of lichs to ask them to go back and deliver the message.
But the vast ocean is not something that a lich can easily cross. Even if the lich does not need food and water, and is not afraid of drowning in the sea, it will still take several days to fly across thousands of sea routes.
As a result, until now, no one has come back.
Now everyone on the island seems to be trapped in a big prison. They can only do nothing every day and sit here in a daze.
Even a long-lived lich can't stand such boring days.
What's even more frightening is that the supplies on the island are becoming increasingly scarce and will soon be exhausted.
Although the lichs don't need much food, there are still many dark creatures on the island, such as gargoyles, ghouls, and undead witches...
Although they are mutated creatures created by dark magic, these living dark creatures all need to eat, and they are all carnivores, very picky eaters, they only eat fresh raw meat, and their appetites are very large.
What made Melalance even more troublesome was that in order to win the war, Cameron was afraid that his strength would be weak, so he mobilized heavy troops and recruited almost all the remaining dark creatures in the hands of the lich. The gargoyle bat ghosts alone were enough.
There are tens of thousands of them.
Although those guys are not weak in fighting ability, at the same time, each of them is as good as a cannibal.
As he thought, he turned his head dejectedly and walked towards the bottom of the cliff. Now it was time to feed the bat ghosts again.
He came listlessly to the entrance of the cave under the cliff and found that his companions were already waiting there.
At this time, they were no longer leading a few cows and chickens as before, but were pushing several small carts, all of which were chopped into small pieces of meat.
As supplies on the island gradually dwindled, Cameron had to implement quotas for these undead creatures.
From one pound a day at the beginning to half a pound a day, I couldn't hold on for long.
Seeing this, Melalance couldn't help but smile bitterly. Two days ago, Cameron specifically consulted him, asking if he could keep the gargoyle bat ghosts alive by giving him only two taels of meat a day.
Two taels is enough to fit between your teeth. Where can these ferocious bat ghosts eat it?
If they were only given two taels of meat a day, these bat ghosts would be too hungry to fly before humans came over.
He greeted the lichs, then pushed the cart into the cave.
Cameron also came here several times in the beginning. These bat ghosts are his main force after all. They are his darlings. If he wants to defeat the human fleet, he depends on them.
But later, I don't know whether it was because he felt guilty because he had cut down on the meat, or because he was really busy with work. Anyway, he never came here again.
But Melalance had to come, because all these bat ghosts were under his control.
When Melalance walked into the cave, the bat ghosts were already hungry. When they heard the familiar footsteps of the lichs, they immediately screamed and flew up, like a black tornado, hitting the sky.
It flew towards them like a ball.
Everyone in Melalance did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly picked up the pieces of meat on the cart and threw them into the air in large quantities.
Those bat ghosts grabbed the bloody pieces of meat in the air, then flew to the side and started to bite them with big mouthfuls.
After some strong bat ghosts grabbed the meat, they thought they had too little meat in their hands, so they immediately flew towards their companions next to them. Then they kept screaming, waving their hands and beating them. They beat the opponent until they were covered with bruises, and then they also grabbed the piece of meat.
Take it in your own hands and swallow it in one gulp.
The injured bat ghost quickly stood up and flew to a corner to hide.
The bat ghost looks high-end, but in fact it is a beast with a simple IQ.
In their world, there is only one law, and that is the law of the jungle.
If you are robbed by others, you can only consider yourself unlucky, and no one will stand up to uphold justice for them.
And after being injured, you have to hide as soon as possible. If you don't hide well, other hungry bat ghosts will smell the smell of blood, and their bloodthirsty instinct will make them rush over, tear the injured hapless guy into pieces, and then
Eat it bit by bit.
In the dark corner of the cave, there were already many white bones of bat ghosts, most of which were fresh.
Those were all corpses that had been eaten by other bat ghosts. They were all chewed up cleanly, with no shreds of meat left.
Apparently the bat ghosts that ate these bones also knew how valuable food was.
The lichs in Melalance were also helpless, but they did not have enough food to feed these bat ghosts.
Therefore, we can only turn a blind eye to the cannibalism of the bat ghosts and pretend not to see it, as long as there is no large-scale cannibalism.
In the eyes of the lich, these bat ghosts are just low-level war consumables.
However, for some time now, due to lack of food, the bat ghosts have been killing each other, and their number has been reduced by almost one-fifth.
The number of other carnivores is also about the same, because more people die from preying on each other than from fighting.
Thinking of this, Melalance couldn't help but sigh again: If this situation continues, in a few days, before humans come to kill them, these bat ghosts will kill them all themselves...
Just when he thought of this, he suddenly saw the largest and strongest bat ghost staring at him with blood-red eyes.
There was a strange and ferocious look in his eyes, as if Melalance was a delicious prey in his eyes.
Melalance couldn't help but shuddered: What does this despicable bat ghost plan to do? Does it also plan to eat me?
However, he immediately became furious. He was actually frightened by a low-level bat ghost~!
Melalance stretched out the staff in his hand, pointed at the bat ghost, and shouted angrily: "Magic light bullet~!"
Immediately, a gray ball of light flew out from the end of the staff and hit the bat ghost's back like lightning.
When the bat ghost saw it, it immediately let out a scream and spread its wings to escape. But at this time, the magic light bomb had hit its back heavily, causing a "boom" explosion.
The bat ghost immediately staggered, then screamed, fell from the air, and fell heavily to the ground. His hands and feet kept twitching, and traces of blood came out from his ears, nose, and mouth.
The rest of the bat ghosts who were competing for food couldn't help but shrink back, not daring to look at Melalens and the other lichs.
Melalance snorted coldly, slowly withdrew his staff, and scanned the bat ghosts one by one.
The bat ghosts lowered their heads timidly, shrinking their bodies as much as possible.
Melalance nodded with satisfaction, then turned around and walked out with the lichs.
When he walked to the entrance of the cave, he heard a burst of screaming and fighting behind him. It was obvious that the group of bat ghosts were fighting for the bat ghost who had evil intentions and was not dead yet.
Melalance stood at the entrance of the cave, looking at the blue sky. Then he couldn't help but sigh again. Those bat ghosts with low intelligence became more and more crazy because of hunger. If this continues, they will not only start to mass
They will kill each other, and may even lose their minds and target the lich~!
For some reason, he suddenly remembered the scene when he watched the ghost leave on the boat, and he couldn't help but secretly feel a trace of regret: maybe he had made the right choice by being impulsive and jumping on the boat.
While he was thinking, he unknowingly came to the top of the cliff again, and then looked towards the west again. He hoped that a miracle would happen and that the supply ship would suddenly appear on the sea at some point. Just like Wangfu Cliff.
The resentful woman on the Internet is looking forward to the same thing as her husband who has been away from home for many years: Grandma is a bastard, so why doesn’t her grandson come and pinch her?

It was sunny on November 26, 836 in the Julian calendar.
As soon as it gets light, the Caribbean ports are already a busy scene.
Due to the defeat in the war, a large number of Semites were killed in the human continent. This also caused the Semites to lose a large number of young and middle-aged labor force, and the entire Semites were in depression.
In the Caribbean, the people here are full of freedom and spirit. In order to avoid military service, they have tried various methods, either escaping to the sea or hiding in the mountains.
This also made the labor force reduction in the Caribbean not too severe. Only one fourth division with ten thousand people was captured.
Because of this, despite the general backdrop of depression, Caribbean ports remain as bustling and lively as ever.
Precisely because the Caribbean suffered minimal damage from the war, its business was better.
In the Lord's Mansion in Caribbean City, the Lord Iskander and his wife had already gotten up from bed early, washed themselves up under the service of the servants, and then sat in front of the dining table.
Compared with two years ago, the Lord of Iskander City has lost a lot of hair, and his originally chubby and rosy face is also a little thinner than before.
But the overall appearance of the person still looks pretty good.
Three years ago, their daughter ran away with Lorraine, the public enemy of the Semitic tribe, the peerless evil thief, the most shameless, despicable, and despicable human being... Well, to be precise, it should have been by that peerless thief.
The thieves kidnapped me.
But no matter what, the Caribbean city owner's family can be considered to have overseas relations, and there is a risk of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country.
Therefore, logically speaking, the two of them have to be isolated for examination, or find a place to be locked up for anywhere from thirty to fifty years.
But the identity of the Lingshan royal family protected them.
At the same time, in the Semitic tribe, the relationship between them and various families is also intricate, making the undead dare not move lightly.
Moreover, they are a royal family with a real title. No one dares to arrest them without catching them for the crime of rebellion.
Otherwise, it will cause a strong backlash from other royal families. In the face of this huge network of relationships, the high priest himself has no choice.
More importantly, since the high priest led hundreds of lichs to chase and intercept Lorraine, they failed to capture the evil thief. This shows that Fiona's being snatched away was also a once-in-a-century event.
, unexpected events involving force majeure.
Under this situation, no one dared to use any reason to embarrass the old couple.
Besides, the Caribbean is a remote corner of the country, and the people there are cunning and cunning, so many people don't like it.
At this time, someone brought tea and a pile of... a pile of letters.
The city lord and his wife looked at each other, and then showed a knowing smile. Then they both put on their reading glasses and stretched out their hands... towards the pile of letters.
Those are all letters Fiona wrote to them before.
The two of them would find one every day when they were eating, and then read it carefully. Young people rarely understand this kind of old man's concern for his children, and only those who become parents will truly understand.
Since there was one less person, the restaurant was much deserted.
However, when they were reading the letter and looking at the various interesting things Fiona told in the middle, between the lines, it seemed as if fǎngfo's elf-like naughty, lively, and lovely daughter was still around.
At this time, the sun shines through the window, illuminating a corner of the ground, and you can vaguely see fine dust flying through the light beam.
The two old men were sitting at the dining table, with faint smiles on their faces, carefully reading their daughter's letter word by word.
The loyal old housekeeper stood outside the corner. Seeing this warm scene, he suddenly felt moist at the corners of his eyes.
Lord Iskander looked up from the letter and went to get a piece of cake next to him, but when he saw his appearance, he couldn't help but smile: "Wagel, what's wrong with you?"
The old housekeeper hurriedly wiped the corners of his eyes and said: "Nothing, nothing. It's just that there is dust in his eyes..."
At the same time, I sighed secretly in my heart: It would be great if the lady was here. But I couldn't say these words, otherwise it would arouse the longing and sadness of the city lord and his wife.
It's all that damn Lorraine. If that bitch hadn't stolen the young lady's heart and soul, the city lord and his family would still be living happily together.
He sighed and turned to look at the garden outside the window.
The garden at this time is also very different from three years ago. A huge glass greenhouse was built in the middle of the garden.
Although it is already the season of December and December, the flowers in the greenhouse are still in full bloom. There are also several tomato branches in the middle that are also covered with bright red fruits.
Looking at the round fruit, I couldn't help but think of that chubby little fat man, and the equally round, chubby little elephant. Neither of those two little guys was a good person. They stole and did evil all day long, but they
It brings joy to everyone and also brings a lot of income.
If possible, he would rather not have that amount of money, but let them live here happily. But that is an impossible thing~!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh: Who would have thought that that little fat man was actually the prince of a powerful empire of mankind.
At this moment, he seemed to see something out of the corner of his eye. He was startled for a moment, then turned his head and looked at the sea carefully.
Through the glass window, you can see a few faint lines of black smoke on the sea in the distance.
The old housekeeper couldn't help but feel a little strange: What's going on? Is there a ship on fire at sea?
Immediately, I saw the black smoke getting bigger and thicker. Then I saw several black spots jumping out of the sea, and then rapidly expanding in my sight.
The old housekeeper couldn't help but hold his breath. They were several huge battleships. The battleships were hoisted with flying eagle flags that he had never seen before~! (To be continued...)
