Infancy is undoubtedly the most vulnerable, troublesome and most in need of care period for human beings.
Even if this baby has the thinking and consciousness of an adult, many things are simply out of control.
Even though Asta was fully prepared in advance, he was still forced to change his diaper once during the two- to three-hour presentation.
When Zuo Si finished telling everything, he asked with a gloomy face: "So... it was you who destroyed the world? Killed almost everyone, including the Master Council and civilians, through the magic plague?"
"No, dear mentor, it's not me, it's us.
Don’t forget, it was you who pulled me into this world in the first place.
And you can’t blame me.
Because when I first arrived, the chaotic substances and mana originating from the dark void had not yet affected my body, especially the viruses and bacteria in my body that had not mutated.
What's more, you discovered the mana and substances remaining on the clothes and conducted a lot of experiments secretly, but you also didn't tell me.
After all, as the chief mage of the necromancy system, you are not as ignorant about things like plague as other archmages, but have in-depth research and understanding.
Especially for creatures like me who come from an unknown world, no isolation measures were taken from beginning to end.
Even in order to quickly satisfy my desire to obtain eternal life, I tried every means to force me to learn all kinds of profound and complex magical knowledge as quickly as possible, and finally opened the portal to the continent of Faerun.
So it was we who destroyed this world and the magical civilization created by the mages based on the floating city."
Zuo Si corrected meaningfully.
Although he himself is the source of the entire magical plague, the real culprit should actually be Asta.
If the Necromancer had not concealed the most important information, with his knowledge of microorganisms, there is a high probability that he would have noticed the changes in his body, thus avoiding the outbreak of this disaster.
"Haha, you are right, we destroyed the world."
Asta rarely defended himself, but let out a creepy laugh.
Similarly, he also realized that the "model" apprentice in front of him who once obeyed orders was now standing in a higher position and looking down on him.
The identities and status of both parties can now be said to be completely reversed.
As a calm, rational and realistic person, Asta knows very well that there is no point in making verbal arguments at this time.
After all, he is just a baby now who can't even cast the lowest level spells, but the other party has already controlled the floating city of Plantia, and also has a large amount of knowledge and magical power from other worlds.
Not to mention anything else, just this shell ship hidden deep underground in the floating city, as well as the mastermind in the pond behind it and the terrifying psychic powers it possesses, can easily kill you and even distort your own memory.
Cognition and personality.
Arguing with someone who is more powerful than yourself and who controls your life and death is the most stupid behavior.
This principle was used by Asta to teach Zuo Si who had not completed the ideological transformation, so he would not commit it.
In other words, he knew very well what he had done to the young man in front of him, and he had no doubt that the other party would take this opportunity to retaliate or even kill him.
You must know that killing masters in the floating city world under the rule of the Master Council is not a shameful and shameful act.
Quite the opposite!
The forbearance, wisdom and strength it represents will not only not be despised, but will also be encouraged and appreciated.
Because in the eyes of the mages, the act of killing a master means that the apprentice has surpassed his mentor, symbolizing the "good" wishes that each generation becomes stronger than the other.
As for the so-called secular morality, law and order, they never take it seriously, and there is no need to abide by it.
Some crazy mages will even combine with their own daughters to give birth to another daughter, just to prove that their genes and bloodline are better.
Seeing that his former mentor had clearly realized his situation, Zuo Si immediately showed a satisfied smile: "Very good!
I have always believed that reaching a consensus is a good start, just as I chose to obey when faced with your threat instead of continuing to make meaningless struggles and resistance.
There is never any equality in the relationship between people.
Even if there are only two people left in the world, one person must obey the leadership of the other.
This is determined by the social nature of human existence.
In the past, you were stronger, smarter, and had wisdom and power far beyond mine, so I obeyed you.
But now, I think the situation has changed.
Should you also take the initiative to express your attitude?"
As these words blurted out, Asta's pupils suddenly dilated, contracted, and then dilated again.
Although he had expected this, he never expected Zuo Si to be so straightforward.
After a long silence, the Necromancer slowly raised the baby's disproportionately large head and asked in an uncertain tone: "Do you want me to work for you?"
"That's right! The Master Council created a total of eight floating cities.
So far I have captured and controlled only two of them.
It is also the floating city of Plantia and the floating city of Mutahar.
There are another six whose whereabouts are still unknown.
And as the archmages in the floating city are resurrected one by one by negative energy and become intelligent high-level undead spellcasters, they will inevitably want to break the protective barrier of the central tower and truly control the floating city.
All power.
I need someone who knows all the characteristics of the floating city.
Whether it’s to find it out or to seize the opportunity in future battles.”
Zuo Si did not try to hide anything and stated his intentions openly.
Although he can use a simpler and cruder method, directly let the mastermind Isadora forcibly read Asta's memory, and then turn him into a puppet who obeys orders.
But doing so will completely kill the talent and creativity of the Necromancer, which is really not worth the gain.
"Then what can I get from it?" Asta probed cautiously.
Zuo Si replied with a half-smile: "Endless magical knowledge, technology, and the complete lich transformation ritual you have always longed for.
Of course, the price is that after the transformation is completed, the phylactery must be handed over to me for safekeeping.
How about it? Is this a good condition?"
"Deal!"
Asta agreed without even hesitating.
After all, these conditions are much better than previously expected, and I even feel relieved.
He didn't understand at all why, with Zuo Si's character, he didn't choose to torture and retaliate against himself.
In fact, the copy of the Necromancer's memory is not clear. Zuo Si secretly concealed a truth in his extensive narration.
That is, he killed the real Asta with his own hands, rather than the other person's accidental death due to failure during the Lich transformation ritual.
Of course, the Asta clone in front of us will never know this little secret.
In the future, like other lichs in the organization, he will be immersed in the ocean of countless knowledge and technologies, unable to extricate himself, and slowly become Zuo Si's tool to realize various plans and ambitions.
After reaching an agreement, Zuo Si directly used time magic to help Asta get rid of the weak and helpless baby state, making him grow into a teenager in just a few seconds.
In the next few months to a year, all he has to do is regain his strength, and then transform into a lich with the help of Vanessa and Tyrantir.
Before handing over the phylactery, he will be in a state of complete isolation from the outside world. He will neither be able to leave the supervision of the master mind nor enter the great library to access the knowledge and technology.
There is no doubt that the mysterious time magic aroused Asta's uncontrollable strong interest, and he immediately devoted all his energy to quickly regaining his strength without saying a word.
After he was taken to another room next door by the mind flayer, the mastermind Isadora asked through the mind connection: "Are you sure this guy is trustworthy?
Through my thinking, I can sense that the reason why he chooses to obey you now is because the situation forces him.
Once given the opportunity, he will choose to betray you without hesitation, or even stab you in the back."
"There has never been absolute loyalty in this world, let alone eternal enemies. Everything is just constantly changing driven by ambition, desire, ideals and interests.
When you can give a person what he wants, he will work for you willingly.
But conversely, when you cannot give a person what he wants, but your enemy can, then there is a very high probability that he will betray.
I never expect anyone to remain loyal to me, let alone a guy like Asta who only lives for himself.
But as long as I can continue to provide Asta with the magical knowledge and skills he dreams of, and at the same time hold on to his life, do you think he still has a reason to betray?
The answer is obviously no.
You just said that Asta would betray him once he got a chance, so wouldn't it be better not to give him such a chance?"
When he said these words, Zuo Si's tone was full of strong confidence.
Because Vanessa, Jeffrey, Tyrantir, and Habather, these high-level mages who have transformed into lichs, have now proven their high recognition and loyalty to the organization, especially his leader, with their actual actions and attitudes.
.
Zuo Si has never even used a phylactery to threaten anyone into maintaining absolute obedience to him.
Just through subtle influence and opening up a huge magic knowledge base, it was easy to win all this.
Every lich is honored to join the organization, serve and be effective for the organization.
In other words, personal ambitions, desires, ideals and interests will never become obstacles to the development and growth of a force.
And if used well, it will become a catalyst for acceleration.
What Zuo Si has to do is to understand and grasp what these people want at all times, and then give them a stage where they can use their strengths.
"What about me? What do I look like in your eyes?" Mastermind Isadora asked with a slightly curious tone.
"You are the most important partner, ally and family, and you are also one of the very few people I can completely trust. I will even capture a spark when the time is right, so that you can become a planeswalker like me."
Zuo Si gave the answer without hesitation.
"Become a planeswalker? Me!"
The mastermind Isadora was obviously surprised.
Zuo Si nodded slightly: "Yes. If you want to kill Nicol Bolas in the War of Sparks, it's not enough to rely on my own strength.
Even if you add the ancient planeswalkers such as Lithomancer Nahiri, Sorin Markov, and the spirit dragon Ugin, as well as the new generation of planeswalkers such as Jace, Liliana, Chandra, Nissa, and Gideon Yura,
An outstanding representative, he can barely improve his chances of winning.
What's more, they and I have never been of the same mind.
You might end up turning against each other because of some actions in the future.
Since I can make even an ally like Shane VII a planeswalker, why can’t you and the other three Isadoras?
The only problem at the moment is that the other three of you are obviously in unstable mental states.
Only you who have inherited a rational personality can perfectly control the power of sparks and become my most powerful and trustworthy helper."
As these words blurted out, the mastermind Isadora instantly fell into violent mood swings.
It took a full minute for her to create an illusion of herself as a human through her psychic powers. Her eyes were filled with emotion and deep attachment. She gently touched Zuo Si's cheek with her non-existent illusory hands, and pressed her hand tightly.
Then he stood up on his tiptoes and kissed her.
Since psychic energy directly affects the brain and even the soul, it can simulate vision, hearing, smell, touch and taste that are no different from the real world.
Zuo Si could even clearly feel the softness of the other person's lips and the faint fragrance emanating from his body.
After a while, the two slowly separated.
"Thank you, thank you for considering me so important. I swear that I will never let down this trust, let alone your expectations."
The mastermind Isadora promised with affectionate words.
At this moment, she felt that the sacrifices she had chosen to make were worth it.
"I look forward to that day coming."
After saying that, Zuo Si turned around and left the shell ship, and went straight to a floating island outside the main body of the floating city.
This is the headquarters of the weapons design and R&D department, and it is also a platform for assembling some large-scale devices.
At this moment, in an open space, four large airships with a length of more than 350 meters and a dozen small airships of about 50 meters are being built with the intensive cooperation of constructs and corpse-embedded creatures.
.
Of course, some players with corresponding work experience in factories or assembly workshops also joined with interest and were responsible for some areas that required professional skills.
Judging from the appearance, one-third of it is almost completed, and only needs to be enchanted and restarted before it can be put into use.
When the person in charge, Bohr, saw Zuo Si, he immediately stopped what he was doing and rushed over to report: "Your Excellency, according to your request, we have begun to build an airship force integrating transportation and bombing.<
/p>
In a few days, all these big guys will be put into use.
Although relatively dangerous hydrogen is still used, news has come from the physics and chemistry departments that there have been new discoveries and technological breakthroughs.
It is estimated that a cheap way to obtain helium will be invented in a few weeks at most.
At that time, as long as the hydrogen is replaced with helium, the last flaw of the airship as a means of transportation can be made up.
In addition to airships, I also took the time to design several propeller aircraft powered by electricity.
After all, the cylindrical crystal you created can store a large amount of electrical energy, directly and fundamentally solving the biggest problem of energy supply.
Coupled with the use of various magics, electric aircraft not only become a possibility, but also have much greater future development potential than airships.
In particular, the first-level [Feather Fall Technique] allows the aircraft to fly easily with only a small amount of thrust, and can easily complete high-speed maneuvers and turns that would otherwise require complex structures.
For this reason, I specially changed the shape of the aircraft to make it larger and more rounded so that it can carry more people or cargo. The speed is more than twice that of the airship, and it can easily reach 1,100 kilometers per hour. And in the future we can try to combine magical power to design an electric jet engine to reach speeds above Mach 3.
As for weapons, I have been trying to miniaturize the electromagnetic gun, and at the same time, I have the chemistry department research a magic bomb that is smaller in size and has greater explosive power.
After the two are combined, whether it is used as an air combat weapon or as an aerial gunship to support the ground, the efficiency will definitely be far better than that of an airship.
The most important thing is that it is not as huge as an airship and has higher maneuverability in the air. It will not become a living target once it is attacked like an airship."
Glancing at the drawings and reports given by Boll, the chief weapons designer of Floating City, Zuo Si immediately asked without raising his head: "Compared with airships, how much more expensive is an airplane?"
"Well - for the money of building one large airship, you can almost build three large transport bombers. Although the carrying capacity of the latter cannot be compared with the former."
Bohr quickly gave a more accurate answer.
"In that case, let's try building two of each type first."
Zuo Si thought about it for a while and quickly approved the plan.
As a modern person, it is naturally impossible for him to not know the shortcomings and advantages of airplanes and airships.
The latter can stay in the air for a long time without wasting too much energy, and is obviously more suitable as a transportation vehicle or aerial platform;
The former is small, fast, flexible and more suitable for carrying out emergency missions or entering dangerous battlefields.
The reason why airplanes will replace airships on earth is that, in addition to their own huge flaws, there is also a very important reason that is the "Hindenburg" air disaster that attracted worldwide attention.
This air crash made many people and wealthy people fear and distrust airships as a means of transportation, so that many airships under construction were immediately stopped, and research and development in many related fields also lost financial support and had to announce their disbandment. p>
After people later realized some of the advantages of airships, aircraft had developed for more than eighty years, and the accumulation of technology was simply beyond the reach of airships.
Coupled with people's pursuit of efficiency and speed in modern society, this ultimately led to the unshakable dominance of aircraft.
But as a planeswalker, Zuo Si obviously does not need to take into account the feelings of the people.
With nearly unlimited resources, he does not have to worry about how to make the most reasonable allocation of limited resources like many people.
As the saying goes, only children make choices, of course adults have to make all choices.
Whether it is an airship or an airplane, Zuo Si will not hesitate to continue investing resources in technology research and development, iteration and upgrades.
After deciphering the creations of the Solan civilization, we might even add a weird type of "ornithopter" that is very unscientific but very magical.
"Hey! I knew you would support our department as always."
Boll looked very happy when the plan was approved, with undisguised excitement and expectation on his face.
Having worked for a government department, he never dared to imagine that an aircraft research and development project that could cost billions or even tens of billions could be approved in just a few seconds after submission.
In the eyes of this young weapons expert, the Floating City of Plantia led by Zuo Si is a truly scientific, efficient, clean and almost perfect regime.
Only here will professionals like myself gain enough respect and be managed by a group of senior talents with the same expertise. There will be no corruption at all from top to bottom.
There is no need to pay attention to those shameless politicians who do anything to get votes. There are also a group of ignorant people who may not be able to solve the simplest linear equation of two variables and even think that the earth is a flat surface. They are there to criticize the latest scientific research results in certain fields. Let professional people do professional things!
This is the ideal social state of many industry elites, including Bol.
And this kind of social state is absolutely impossible to achieve through the bullshit "democracy" and "freedom" promoted by the mainstream values on the earth.
Quite the opposite!
It requires a highly centralized government without political internal friction, which is what many people regard as strongman politics and dictatorship to achieve.
"Work hard, I hope one day I can see you build a super spacecraft that can travel in the vast universe and even different time and space." Zuo Si encouraged with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Bohr's eyes immediately shone and he asked in an uncertain tone: "Does such a creation really exist in the world?"
Zuo Si nodded without thinking: "Of course! As far as I know, an ancient planeswalker named Urza once built a spaceship called Weatherlight. Not only can it travel through different time and space at will,
At the same time, it also has nearly unlimited energy and can withstand the baptism of time. It is the ultimate creation that combines true technology and magic."
"Damn it! If only I could take a look!"
Bol couldn't help but curse in a low voice.
You must know that in another secret base, the preliminary technology obtained by reverse engineering dragon engines, structures, magic heavy cannons, etc. has given him an eye-opening feeling, and it has also opened his eyes to the likes of Solan and Phyrek.
West Asia, a super civilization that combines magic and technology, is full of respect.
Now when I heard that there was such an incredible creation as the Weatherlight spacecraft, a strong desire for knowledge immediately burst out in my subconscious.
Unfortunately, the Weatherlight was most likely destroyed during the final battle between Urza and Yawgmoth.
Also destroyed were ancient legacies containing unknown power, as well as the famous "Strong Energy Stone" and "Weak Energy Stone".
In the next few hours, Zuo Si visited various departments in the floating city that were busy and had in-depth exchanges with the people in charge, approved some plans and research projects, and then returned to the Mage Tower in Askatra
.
But he did not stay here for too long. He only went underground to take a look at the newly established Goblin Wolf Legion, which only numbered about 500 people. He then teleported non-stop to the palace in Calim Port in the south.
.
Compared with the deserted situation when we came up, both the number of guards and the number of servants here have increased significantly.
Among them, the nobility, thieves guild and wealthy merchant class that were completely destroyed in the Great Purge have been replaced by the civil service system composed of scholars and spellcasters.
As expected, since Calimport has one of the largest educated populations in the entire Faerûn continent, it is unlike other places where even basic rule cannot be maintained without nobles and merchants.
Shah En VII directly transformed the periphery of the palace into the offices of ministers and bureaucrats, so you can often see people coming in and out, and even using teleportation magic to suddenly appear and disappear out of thin air.
Along with the high-speed operation of the civil service system, there are also troops with high morale that are attacking in all directions.
Among them, Manshakar, an important stronghold eastward along the Sea of Glory, as well as Calimshan's most important shipbuilding center and the magic research center where a large number of wizards and warlocks gather - Arevin, have now returned to the rule of the empire.
.
Especially the latter, in order to complete the complete suppression and cleanup, as the emperor, Xia En VII did not hesitate to take action personally.
In a fierce battle, he killed more than 30 powerful mages and warlocks in an almost crushing manner. At the same time, he uprooted the thieves guild that was as rampant as Calimport, and killed many more.
Nobles, wealthy businessmen and slave owners who were willing to abolish slavery and tried to resist.
After all this is done, the only thing left is to follow the solution given by Zuo Si.
First use part of the wealth and women obtained from ransacking the houses to reward the army, and give the rest to the God of Suffering, the God of Justice, and the church loyal to the God of Courage.
Because they were responsible for distributing land to slaves, arranging work, and quickly converting them into property owners, they could pay taxes to the country as free people.
Although in the eyes of outsiders, it is really surprising that these three gods who represent lawfulness, justice and kindness cooperate with an evil demilich who restores the ancient empire.
But the liberation of millions of slaves still had a very positive impact.
What's more, this slave liberation is not an impulsive and reckless act like the Lord of the Morning, Lathander, but a real act of kindness with a complete plan and proper placement for them.
Many paladins and forces from the good camp even traveled thousands of miles to come from very far away places just to provide some help within their capabilities.
With the existence of these people, Shane VII did not even need to spend too many troops to maintain law and order in the occupied area.
Before those monsters or evil forces who want to take advantage of the situation have time to jump out and cause trouble, they will be quickly discovered and exposed by experienced adventurers, and then they will be struck quickly and powerfully.
Now, as long as we cross the Alamir Mountains by land or launch an attack from the sea to capture Calimshan's second largest city, Suldover, which guards the choke point leading to Steam Lake, then other towns in the entire southeast will be
Will give up resistance and surrender.
But this is obviously not an easy thing.
Because unlike other cities in Calimshan, Surdover completely broke away from the rule of Calimport a long time ago and remained semi-independent for hundreds of years.
Although it is still nominally part of this country, both its laws, regulations and administrative system are its own.
Apart from paying a tax every year, they simply ignore any orders issued by Calim Port.
The ruling group in Surdover is even trying its best to win over the two cities of Tumon and Jespike, as well as several towns in the border kingdom across the strait, as if they want to establish a new country independently.<
/p>
Once this plan succeeds, they will be able to control the only maritime traffic artery from the Sea of Glory into the Steam Lake and impose high tolls on all merchant ships passing through this place.
When Zuo Si walked into the main hall of the palace, he happened to see Shah En VII and his appointed prime minister Shaud Tarovin, as well as several generals gathered in front of a sand table, seeming to be discussing a plan to attack Surdover.
.
Xia En VII noticed his arrival, immediately waved for others to leave, and then asked casually: "Why are you free to come to my place today?"
Zuo Si responded with a smile: "Let me tell you good news. I have taken care of the spark, and it is currently being used to maintain a cross-time and space portal."
Instantly!
The eyes of this powerful demi-lich burst out with terrifying light, and he immediately asked in an impatient tone: "When can I get it?"
"Of course, according to the agreement, when you have completed your obsession and are ready to leave this world forever. In addition, don't forget to hand over the life box." Zuo Si reminded meaningfully.
"If you want the phylactery, I can give it to you now. But it will obviously take time to unify Calimshan and Tethyr. I may be able to easily defeat those bastards who dare to steal the land of the Shaan Empire, but I can't.
Effective rule was established in one fell swoop."
Xia En VII frowned and showed an impatient look for the first time.
Because at this moment, his desire to become a planeswalker has far exceeded his obsession to restore the Xian Empire.
I even started to feel that this time-consuming and labor-intensive thing was a burden, rather than something that made me feel happy.
"There is no need to be so anxious, you have enough time. And I will continue to hunt more planeswalkers and capture the sparks from them. At that time, you may be able to choose one that is more suitable for you." Zuo Si said calmly.
Comforted.
"I understand what you said. But the problem is, this does not reduce my desire to get the spark. Forget it, it only takes a little time anyway, and I have begun to accelerate the military operation to unify the entire Calimshan.
."
Xia En VII has obviously calmed down now and returned to his own throne.
"Speed up?"
Zuo Si keenly grasped a key word.
Xia En VII nodded slightly: "Yes. Although it is not convenient for me to use a large number of undead creatures and summon undead creatures to form an army, it does not mean that I cannot use necromancy magic or corresponding magic items.<
/p>
Since the quality of city-state soldiers who are unwilling to put down their weapons and surrender is not very high, I decided to create something that can exert a large-scale fear influence.
When the time comes, as long as this item is used on the soldiers in the enemy's army on the battlefield, they will naturally run away and lose their will to fight.
And my army only needs to rush over and kill or capture them, and then they can easily capture the city.
In this way, the plan to revive the Shane Empire may be completed in a few months ahead of schedule."
"That's it!"
Zuo Si instantly understood the demilich's thoughts.
You must know that although [Horror Technique] is an insignificant level of magic, it can affect people with professional levels of LV5 and below, causing them to lose their will to fight and flee in panic for six to twenty-four seconds.
Although the moment sounds short, it is very fatal to the army that needs to form a formation to fight.
If it is used on a large scale, the entire army's command system will be completely disrupted and lose its ability to restrain itself in just a few seconds.
When you see an enemy coming, your first reaction is to turn around and run away.
Even if there are recovered officers who try to organize the people, they will be dispersed by the soldiers who are still under the influence of [Fear Technique].
What's more, the defensive armies formed by most cities in Faerûn do not even have professional ranks at all, but simply received a little corresponding training.
As for fighting power and fighting will...
It can’t be said to be bad, at least it’s very effective when dealing with nasty little monsters like goblins and kobolds.
But if it were replaced by an equal number of orcs, gnolls, hobgoblins, bugbears, ogres and trolls, there is a high probability that they would be defeated or even annihilated in a field battle.
Therefore, a magic item that can release the effect of panic in a large area can definitely cause quite astonishing effects on the battlefield.
However, although Terror is a first-level spell, if you want to affect hundreds or even thousands of people at once, its enchantment level must not be low, and it must be a legendary magic item.
The materials alone are estimated to be worth hundreds of thousands of gold coins, and a lot of high-level spells are required.
The most important thing is that this thing is only effective against targets at LV5 and below. As long as the level reaches LV6, you will be completely immune.
This also means that, apart from being a "cruel", it is completely useless in a battle between real opponents of the same level, and is a complete waste.
If it were Zuo Si, he would rather go out and use legendary spells to directly kill an army than make such a thing.
But as the emperor of the empire, Xia En VII obviously didn't think so. Instead, he began to explain his idea of this magical item, and at the same time he did not forget to invite Zuo Si to come in.
With the joint efforts of the two, it took only three days to finally produce this "national treasure".
It is made in the shape of a horn. As long as someone blows it hard, it will immediately exert a fear [fright spell] effect on all hearing creatures within a few kilometers in front. On average, it can be blown once every six seconds, which is simply embarrassing.
Called an anti-army artifact.
If the opponent cannot pull out an elite army with all professional levels up to LV6, then they can just raise the white flag and surrender.
Finally, the horn was handed over to a general with LV10 warrior level and LV5 weapon master level.
Just one day later, he led a fleet from Port Carlin to Suldorfer.
Since the latter itself has an extremely developed shipbuilding industry, it immediately dispatched a larger fleet to attack after receiving the information.
The two sides finally met in the shallow sea area north of Sasotte Island and launched a decisive battle.
But the process was completely different from the evenly matched situation that many people imagined. Instead, it presented a one-sided situation.
Suldover's proud fleet didn't even last ten minutes before it began to completely collapse.
No!
It shouldn’t be called a defeat!
But it completely collapsed!
As the fatal horn sound echoed over the sea, the sailors and soldiers on the deck of the Suldover fleet began to go crazy. They ran out of the cabin crazily as if they had seen something scary, and jumped into the rough waves one after another.
in the sea.
No matter how much captains and officers with higher professional levels try to block it, it's useless.
Some ship's mages and priests realized that this was the effect of magic, and immediately tried to dispel it with magic and divine spells such as dispelling magic and calming the mind.
But unfortunately, the number of spells they cast every day is nothing compared to the horn that can affect thousands of people at once.
After a while, all the effort was exhausted, and I could only watch in despair as my people jumped into the sea one after another like dumplings, completely irrational.
By the time the Xian Empire's fleet rushed up, there were not many people left on the ship.
As a result, it was quickly occupied and captured after a brief resistance.
Some of the smarter ones even hung up the white flag early and announced their surrender.
In this way, a large sea battle that attracted the attention of all forces in the Sea of Glory and the Steam Lake came to an end in an almost child's play manner.
Shane VII's fleet effortlessly defeated the fleet that Suldover was proud of, and suffered almost no losses.
Not only is there no loss!
His generals also more than doubled the size of their own ranks by capturing large numbers of enemy ships.
As for the ordinary soldiers who jumped into the sea out of fear, they were quickly rescued by the empire's generals and were temporarily held as prisoners at the bottom of the cabin.
After Surdover is captured, most of them will be dispersed, reorganized, and eventually absorbed into the army of the Shane Empire.
Zuo Si witnessed this "tragic" battle throughout the whole process, and couldn't help but hold his forehead and sighed slightly: "It is truly a magical weapon for torturing vegetables.
A total of twenty large warships, forty medium-sized ships and more than a hundred small ships, plus thousands of skilled sailors and soldiers, this is almost all of Surdover's water power and more than 80% of its army.
Quantity.
In addition, it is impossible for the other party to obtain information about the destruction of the fleet in a short period of time...
As long as General Taylor used his brain a little bit, put his soldiers on the ship that originally belonged to Surdover, pretended to be victorious and launched a surprise attack, the capture of Surdover would definitely be a certainty.
It seems that the unification of the Calishan region has entered the final countdown.
After the south is pacified and then the troops are sent north to capture Manon, Shahn VII can begin to deal with Tethyr, which has fallen into civil strife.
However, the royal declaration is really useful. Such a large-scale conquest by force did not attract any interference from external forces."
