Chapter 834, Attack, Shadow Island Naval Battle!
On the vast sea.
A huge fleet is moving rapidly across the sea with all its might.
This fleet just got the order.
The Doom Fleet sailed south from Cape City.
The leading flagship was the Doom Battleship on which Sarah was riding.
now.
On the mechanical lift of the Doom flagship.
A sailor quickly climbed down from above.
"Report."
"Ms. Sarah."
"According to the route we are on."
"The Shadow Islands should be ahead."
On the deck of the battleship.
Sarah, who was checking the nautical chart, looked up after hearing this.
"Shadow Islands!"
"I didn't expect it would take several epochs."
"I will come back here again."
The first mate of the Doom flagship beside him asked.
"Your Mightiness."
"Have you ever been here in the Old World era?"
Sarah's mouth curled up slightly.
“More than once.”
"The graduation practice of the Nosa Empire Navy is to create a pirate fleet of its own in the Shadow Islands."
"I remember I was only twenty that year."
"I followed the academy instructor and a dozen classmates and rashly broke into the Shadow Islands."
"The ship was sunk on the first day and I was captured by pirates."
"My mentor and classmates' identities were exposed, and they all died at the hands of pirates."
"I'm the only one who's lucky."
"Escape from the pirate's dungeon."
"Then I joined a newly formed pirate group on a small island in the south."
"I remember the leader was still a thirteen-year-old boy who liked to wear a straw hat."
"But I have a legendary swordsman who uses two swords."
"The little boy at that time said that he wanted to find the treasure hidden by Red Beard in the sea and become a pirate king like Red Beard."
"I told him that Red Beard was tied to a tree by the Elf Fleet and cut to death with 30,000 knives."
"The souls after death were tortured by the temple for hundreds of years."
"All his secrets are known to the elves."
"It is impossible for the so-called treasure to exist."
"It's a pity he didn't listen."
"I had no other choice but to join this pirate group of only three people and a small sampan."
"But who would have known that our pirate group would actually own a thousand warships ten years later and become a shadow fleet that crisscrosses the seven seas."
"It's just a pity~"
The first mate asked immediately after hearing this.
"What's a pity?"
Sarah's mouth dropped.
"It's a pity that no matter how powerful the Pirate King is, he is still just a pirate."
"On the sea we plunder trading ships."
"The kingdom can only send a fleet to destroy us at best."
"But the leader who liked to wear a straw hat later fought against the gods for some untouchables!"
"In the end, this fleet that crisscrossed the seven seas disappeared without a trace in a sea storm."
"I am the only one left in the Straw Hat Pirates."
"And the reason I'm still alive is because I'm heading to the Empire, quitting the military and becoming a pirate."
"Later, I learned the news."
“I never set foot on the Shadow Islands again.”
"But the Straw Hat Pirates were destroyed."
"But the pirates of the Shadow Islands do not."
"And since they've been here, the pirates of the Shadow Islands are no longer the same as they used to be."
“They no longer prey on civilians.”
"Instead, they often used the looted materials to support the poor."
"They don't fight against gods, but they refuse to believe in any gods either."
"Later, when I was talking to Lady Lilith."
"I learned this unexpectedly during the Cataclysm Era."
"The pirates of the Shadow Isles fight for the civilization of the Old World."
"Lead tens of thousands of warships out of the archipelago and declare war on the gods for the sake of civilization."
"In the end, all of them died in the deep sea."
When the first mate heard the rest, he was filled with awe.
"Your Mightiness."
"The pirates of the Shadow Islands have inherited the spirit of the Straw Hat Captain!"
Sarah's mouth curled up slightly.
"Yes."
"he died."
“But not completely dead.”
"Sometimes I wonder about the coming of the Lord Era."
"Will a Blue Star Lord be able to recruit him?"
"I'm still looking forward to meeting him again in this new era."
"I just hope they are not enemies~"
Sarah's voice was so low that it was almost a whisper.
And suddenly.
A piercing siren sounded.
"Report."
"Your Mightiness."
"The vanguard spotted an unfamiliar fleet."
"The other side attacked us first."
"The vanguard fleet asks if we should return fire?"
Sarah's face immediately turned serious.
"At sea, as long as there is no instruction from the Lord."
"All targets are free to attack."
"These are either legions controlled by the fog, or Blue Star Lords from other factions."
"No matter which one it is, you can attack freely."
"Pass the order."
"Destroy them!"
“Not one will be spared.”
"As ordered!"
After the order is issued.
Sarah quickly checked the nautical chart in her hand.
Because of his adventures in the Old World when he was young.
Sarah knows the Shadow Isles like the back of her hand.
He quickly circled the area where the fighting was taking place.
Then he spoke quickly.
"This place is less than 200 nautical miles away from the outer islands of the Shadow Islands."
"In this sea area, there can be no other islands except the Shadow Islands."
"So these strange fleets must be from the Shadow Islands."
"First mate."
"Send a message to the right wing."
"Dispatch three hundred pirate ships to bypass the battlefield ahead and conduct reconnaissance on the outskirts of the Shadow Islands."
"I need accurate information about the Shadow Islands."
"As ordered!"
When Sarah gave the order.
now.
The naval battle of the vanguard fleet was almost over.
The fleet of Cape City is equipped with gunboats from the Glory Era.
It is powered by magic crystal energy.
And those fleets that actively attacked them used sailing warships.
One is mechanical energy and the other is wind energy.
One of the main weapons is the magic crystal cannon.
One shot could cause destruction over dozens of miles.
A primary weapon is the ballista.
One shot can hit three hundred meters.
There is a huge gap in time and technology between the two.
So this kind of battle was almost a one-sided massacre.
The gunboats, which were the main fighting force, pursued and killed the main force of the central army.
The vanguard sent out the frigates to outflank the enemy on both wings.
There were also some pirate speedboats blocking the way.
Only a dozen minutes.
The pirate fleets were surrounded in the middle.
When repeated attacks failed to break free the frigate.
Eventually they were targeted by the gunboat and blown to pieces one by one.
One of the flagships was boarded and attacked by a pirate speedboat.
The pirates wielding long swords rushed onto the ship, and after a fierce close combat.
All the sailors on the ship were killed in the battle.
There was only one orange unit hero left to resist.
But he was quickly killed by the concentrated fire of the crossbows dispatched from the frigate.
The entire battle lasted no more than twenty minutes.
Wait until Sarah's main flagship arrives here.
If it weren't for the scattered planks and captured warships on the sea.
There is no sign that a naval battle ever took place here.
On the captured warship.
Sarah walked out of the captain's room.
Then he dusted off his hands.
Then the first mate came up.
"Your Mightiness."
"What an old battleship."
“Sail drive.”
"No wonder they couldn't even break through the interception of the pirate boats."
Sarah nodded.
"Pre-Fourth Race War Style."
“Mechanical power was not yet common at that time.”
"When the fifth racial war broke out, the mechanical warships built by the elves swept across the nations."
"The fleets of other races were completely annihilated."
"This marked the beginning of the era in which the elves ruled the seven seas."
"It's almost impossible to see sailing warships above the sea."
"Even trading ships use mechanical power."
"When the Glory Calendar comes, the wizard will bring magical technology."
"Wealthier pirates will transform themselves into magic crystal-driven power sources."
"Those without money were killed by the mercenary fleet hired by the Chamber of Commerce."
"That is, it is the current Lord Era."
“You can only see this old-fashioned battleship.”
"It sank."
"It's useless. It will only slow us down."
Sarah then returned to the flagship.
he said quickly.
"It can be inferred from this battle."
"The lords entrenched in the Shadow Islands are not very strong."
"This time, the Lord has ordered us to look for traces of the alien god here."
"The Shadow Isles are stuck in our way."
"If we don't capture it."
"The subsequent searching fleet may be attacked."
"Pass the order."
"The left and right wing fleets are deployed to attack the camp."
"Stand alert one hundred nautical miles ahead."
"The central fleet will not move for the time being."
"The vanguard fleet continues to move forward."
"Approaching the outer islands of the Shadow Isles."
"We will capture these islands first as a springboard for our next attack."
"As ordered!"
After Sarah gave the order.
The vanguard fleet accelerated and began to rush towards the outskirts of the Shadow Islands.
And at the same time.
An outer island of the Shadow Isles.
In the territory of the alien god.
A level six lord of the alien god camp received the battle report.
"Ding, your patrol fleet was attacked and completely wiped out."
"Ding, the other lord is much stronger than you, and you cannot get any information about him."
When I saw the previous message.
The Lord of the Alien God was only slightly stunned.
But I saw the following message.
But it made his face change drastically.
"Much higher than myself?"
"Eighth level?"
"Level nine!"
"No, level ten."
"It must be a level 10 lord."
"Oh my god, the tenth-level lord has discovered us."
"I'm on the outermost island, and I'm the only one with a territory here."
"Once the army of level 10 lords arrives, I will surely die."
"The enemy is too strong."
"Ask for help!"
"I want to ask the church for help!"
Then a message for help was sent to the temple of the Pagan Church in the Shadow Islands.
The alien god pope who just returned from the Abyss.
I am still thinking about how the church should develop next.
I immediately received this shocking bad news.
"what!"
"Level 10 Lord!!!"
The Pope of the Foreign God Church turned pale.
But soon his expression returned to normal.
Because he found that the high-ranking leaders of the foreign church around him all had expressions of fear on their faces.
If you are scared too.
Then the whole church.
No, the entire Shadow Islands collapsed without a fight.
Therefore, as the Pope, he immediately regained his previous solemn expression.
Then he spoke quickly.
"So what if it's a level 10 lord."
"Don't forget where we are!"
"Overseas, Shadow Islands."
"The terrain here is complex and large ships cannot be used."
"If you want to come in, you can only use a small boat."
"A level 10 lord's fleet is just a little bit bigger and has better troops."
"But we have the advantage of terrain, and our territory is located on the archipelago."
"It's the right time, the right place, and the right people."
"We have all three."
"The most important thing is that we have Father God behind us!"
"The Father's army of petitioners can be sent over for support at any time."
"With this kind of power, do you still need to be afraid of a fleet coming from afar?"
"Even if the opponent is a level ten lord."
"It is absolutely impossible to defeat us in the Shadow Islands."
"Pass the order."
"The fleet should not leave the Shadow Islands."
"Each lord will defend their own islands, and the fleet will be concentrated in the fjord of the Shadow Islands."
"Use our terrain advantage to block the enemy layer by layer!"
"In this battle, we will defend."
"Wait until the opponent's strength is almost exhausted."
"Don't forget our Shadow Fleet."
"We can still fight back then!"
"Father God will win!"
As Pope, he is still very qualified.
These words successfully restored the confidence of the leader of the Foreign God Church.
shouted one after another.
"Father God will win!"
Then, one by one, the cardinals began to go to various islands to set up defenses.
Compared to them.
The Pope of the Foreign God Church actually does not have much confidence in his ability to defeat the other side.
After all, he is a level ten lord.
Not to mention other things, the difference in the quality of the troops alone is enough to kill level 5 and 6 lords in seconds.
And in the foreign god church.
The vast majority of lords are level five and six.
The seventh and eighth levels are bishops and cardinals.
There are no more than a hundred level seven lords.
There are only twenty level eight lords.
He is the only ninth-level lord.
Moreover, he had just reached level nine not long ago.
That’s the strength!
How could he be so confident?
"Pure defense will lead to failure!"
"We still have to take the initiative to attack."
"And to attack, we need a high-level army."
"The best ones are the Golden Legion and the Golden Arms."
"In the entire Alien God Church, apart from the Shadow Fleet, no one else has a golden fleet or military unit."
The Foreign God Pope lowered his head in deep thought, then paced for a long time.
"The Shadow Fleet only has three hundred capital ships."
"The fleet of a Level 10 Lord must number thousands, or even tens of thousands."
"It seems that I can only seek help from Father God."
The Pope of the alien god was teleported to the abyss again.
And after hearing his report.
"This battle is a good opportunity to demonstrate my strength."
"Make these Blue Star Lords more loyal."
"And this fleet should not be Fang Yuan's army."
"Otherwise, if we were attacked, the believer lords below would definitely know about it."
"Since it's not Fang Yuan's fleet, there's no need to be afraid."
"You can definitely send petitioners to join the battle!"
Then the majestic voice of the alien god spoke.
"Send the order!"
"150,000 petitioners are going to the battle!"
"Destroy the heretics!"
Upon hearing the news, the Foreign God Pope was overjoyed.
At the same time, my self-confidence suddenly swelled.
"Father."
"We have the assistance of these 150,000 petitioners."
"I will kill all the enemies that come to attack me!"
"Sacrifice their souls to the Father!"
The alien god showed a look of approval.
"Go."
"I await news of your victory."
The 150,000 petitioners brought back from the Abyss by the Foreign God Pope appeared.
The entire foreign god church was immediately in an uproar.
"Father God's Heavenly Might!"
"150,000 petitioners, that's 150,000 golden legions."
"Don't even mention the tenth-level lord."
"Even the high-level alliances don't have so many golden legions."
"Of course. This is 150,000 yuan."
Looking at the lords under his command who were full of fighting spirit.
The Alien God Pope began to speak.
"With 150,000 petitioners joining us, we now have the strength to fight the enemy with all our might."
"Pass the order."
"All the main battleships of the seventh and eighth level lords are gathered together."
"Mixed with the Shadow Fleet to form the main fleet."
"To the north, hidden in Senluo Bay."
"The fleets of the remaining level 5 and 6 lords will continue according to the original plan."
"Use the terrain to stop the enemy."
"Our plan this time is to use the terrain to block the attack."
"Wait until the enemy's main fleet appears."
"Strike their flagship from the flank."
"One battle will determine the outcome!"
The voice of the Alien God Pope was loud and powerful.
The believers from other worlds below responded one after another.
"Yes!"
"One battle will determine the outcome!"
And just after they made plans to block and counterattack.
at this time.
An outer island of the Shadow Isles.
The vanguard of the Doom Fleet has discovered the first island.
The lords of the island already knew about the 150,000 petitioners sent by the alien gods.
We also received a blocking plan that utilized the terrain.
He took all his fleet into the fjord.
In addition, many siege weapons were deployed on both sides of the fjord.
Just waiting for the enemy to fall into the trap he has set.
but!
After the arrival of the vanguard fleet.
However, they did not send a fleet into the fjord as they had planned.
now.
On the forward flagship.
"Lady Sarah's order!"
“Don’t cross the fjord.”
"There will be an ambush in the fjord."
"Concentrate your fire on both sides of the island fjord."
"Use the frigate's firepower to cover and open up a path to the island."
"Send a corps to capture the island directly!"
"Yes!"
Upon receiving the order, the vanguard flagship immediately began to change its formation.
"The frigate has left."
"Go forward and find a landing point."
"All gunboats ready!"
"Adjust the angle!"
"Target!"
“Islands and land on both sides of the fjord!”
"Gunship Group No. 001 has been adjusted."
"Gunship Group No. 002 has been adjusted."
"The adjustment of the No. 003 gunboat group has been completed."
"Fire!"
