With an order, the entire Western Lands and Southern Lands were mobilized in a very short period of time.
At the same time, the massacre and destruction that the organization and the country behind it had carried out on this island spread quickly.
As a saying goes, the easiest way to start a war is to arouse the hatred of the lower classes and put them in a state of irrational anger.
Obviously, with the numerous crimes committed by the organization, there is no need to deliberately fan it. Just showing the facts is enough to get more than 90% of the people to support this War of Vengeance.
In just one or two days, three expeditions Burning Legion have been organized.
One of them is directly led by Ine Lily and a group of Claymore Warrior, and the other two are commanded by Knight Order who controls Life Energy.
Coupled with the amazingly powerful Galleon and large transport ships, it can transport more than 30,000 people at one time.
Even the merger celebration of Western Lands and Southern Lands became a little less noticeable because of the war.
After half a month of material preparation, Allen finally personally led the fleet out of the bay and headed for another continent less than a month after the new country was announced.
Admiring the way the countless white sails around him swelled in the sea breeze, Teresa finally couldn't help but sigh slightly and said, "With such a huge army on a cross-sea expedition, you really do what you say. I really don't know that the two countries on the mainland are still at war with each other. How will everyone react when they hear the news that their rear has been invaded? Especially the country behind the organization, I am afraid that they would never have dreamed that a mere island that they regard as a testing ground could set off such a terrifying War of Vengeance in a short period of time after losing contact."
"No matter how they react, it's already too late. Without sufficient shipbuilding capabilities, we have an overwhelming advantage with naval superiority and mobility. We don't even need to occupy it at all in the early stage. We only need constant harassment, killing, and destruction to make them lose sight of the other. When the opponent's economy, rule, and army begin to collapse, we will Launching a decisive battle to destroy their effective forces will immediately lead to a chain reaction. What's more, the two countries have been exhausted for more than a hundred years and can only rely on desperately squeezing the small countries who join their own camp, as well as the poor and slaves in their own countries, and these people will become our natural allies after the war breaks out."
Allen described his strategic intentions nonchalantly.
Since the two giant countries on the continent relied on war to quickly annex land and population in a short period of time, and eventually slowly grew into hegemons, their internal conflicts were simply extraordinary.
The reason why it has been able to survive until now without breaking out is because there is a powerful enemy outside who can divert the attention of the people.
In other words, the two countries have been fighting back and forth for more than a hundred years without any intention of peace talks. In fact, this is also due to their respective political needs.
But now, if there is a force that can break this balance, then these originally hidden contradictions will rear their ugly head again, or even suddenly break out under the instigation of someone with a deliberate intention.
"You are indeed the master of Sky City, the creator of an entire universe dimension and Demon God. But I don't quite understand. It should be easy to destroy them with your power, right? Why do you have to make it so troublesome?" Teresa asked curiously.
Allen replied with a sneer, "You can think of this as a little game to kill boring time. I set a series of rules for myself, and then achieve a relatively difficult goal within the rules. And this time, the rule I set is to permanently change the historical process of the entire world with the power of a group of Claymore Warrior and the indigenous people on the island without any action on my part. How about it? Doesn't it sound interesting and challenging?"
Teresa nodded thoughtfully. "Destroying and occupying an entire continent with the power of an island? It is indeed quite challenging. But what really makes me wonder is, why did you bring the child named Laki on the ship?"
As he spoke, Teresa turned his attention to the familiar figure on the stern deck.
After several months of training, this little follower who could only stay behind Clare has now undergone very obvious changes.
Regardless of his height, weight, or the strong muscles all over his body, he looks like a truly battle-hardened Warrior.
Of course, this is indeed the case.
Although Laki did not participate in the war between Northern Organization and Abyssals, he traveled for a period of time in other places where there were rumors of Yoma and Awakened Beings, and personally killed more than a dozen Yoma, as well as two Awakened Beings who were not very powerful.
With the help of Sword of Desire's special ability, he is no longer a complete rookie, and has even slept with many enthusiastic "big sisters".
At this moment, Laki's eyes no longer showed the innocence and purity they had before, but were filled with ambition and worldly desires.
He longs to become stronger, to make achievements and gain power, to be able to control the destiny of others instead of being controlled by others.
Therefore, when he learned that Western Lands was planning to form an expeditionary force to conquer a continent, the young man chose to sign up without saying a word.
Looking at this "hero" who was completely different from the original plot, Allen touched his chin and asked with interest, "Don't you think he is very suitable to be my successor?"
"Successor?!" Teresa was stunned for a moment, then quickly came to his senses. "You mean... let him take over the power from you when you decide to leave?"
"That's right!" Allen chuckled and nodded. "Look, under the influence of Sword of Desire, he is ambitious enough, and also under the influence of Clare. There is kindness in his character, and he will not become cruel and tyrannical just because he has gained power. The most important thing is that he will have a very powerful force, enough to deter those who hide in the dark and try to start a rebellion for a long time in the future."
"What about the others? As far as I know, the bureaucrats and knights under you will only be loyal to the descendants of your bloodline, in short, your children."
Teresa is obviously very concerned about the future of his Hometown, and does not want to see Allen leaving a huge mess after his sudden departure.
Allen shrugged his shoulders indifferently. "Through this war, Laki will accumulate enough military merit and prestige. With my support, it shouldn't be too big for him to control the army. As for the blood issue, I just need to announce that Clare is my daughter, and then let Laki marry Clare. Will the problem be solved soon?"
"What? You mean to let Clare stay!" Teresa's face suddenly changed.
"Otherwise? I heard that Clare declined the invitation to leave this world with you. As I said, she has too many concerns in this world. And when you adopted her, didn't you just want to see her grow up like an ordinary girl, and then get married and have children and live an ordinary life?"
While saying these words, Allen raised his head and stared into Teresa's eyes.
After a brief struggle, the latter finally showed a wry smile, "You are right. In the past ten years, except for Clare, I have almost lost all concern with the world. But she is just the opposite. She has made many friends besides me. You seem to have clearly arranged everyone's fate from the beginning..."
"Haha, as I said before, my criteria for selecting companions are very strict. Not everyone has such qualifications."
Allen neither admitted nor denied, but left a meaningful smile.
"It doesn't matter! But you have to promise me that this endless adventure must be interesting. I don't want my future life to become boring." Teresa made the request for the first time.
Allen immediately promised, "I promise!"
"Great! Then I have nothing to worry about. Come on, let's have a blast before we leave."
As he spoke, Teresa subconsciously tightened his grip on the magic giant sword carried behind him.
At this moment, a huge sea creature suddenly jumped out of the water and slammed into the sail Galleon with its hammer-like head.
Normally, if attacked by such a super-large marine creature, even if it is not sunk immediately, the hull will be severely damaged, and the ship can only turn around immediately and go to the nearest land for repairs.
Some soldiers who were going to sea for the first time were so frightened that they fell to their knees on the ground with their eyes wide open and didn't know what to do.
But the next second...
Boom!
Teresa, who was standing on the bow of the ship, finally struck out with an astonishingly powerful slash, directly slashing the giant sea monster in mid-air.
A large amount of blood and pieces of flesh were scattered everywhere, and there was even blood rain in the sky, dyeing a large number of white sails into dark red.
I don't know if this is a foreshadowing of the horrific massacre that will take place next.
Time flew by, and after the boring and long voyage continued for a while, the huge fleet finally slowly approached the coastline of the mainland.
As the fixed ocean current passed under the hull, the most experienced captain immediately confirmed the current position of the expeditionary force.
After a brief pre-war meeting, the second and third Burning Legion separated from the main force and detoured along the coastline from the east and west directions, preparing to attack two other very important port cities.
The first Burning Legion led by Ine Lily went straight to the border port city that Teresa had passed by.
When the huge fleet appeared on the sea level, the city instantly became restless.
The top military commander even personally climbed up the tower, holding a simple Telescope and looking towards the sea, trying to distinguish whether these ships belonged to the enemy or our own.
But after seven or eight minutes, he still couldn't find any identifiable marks. He fell into confusion and asked without looking back, "It seems that we haven't built a large sea-going ship for a long time, right?"
"Yes, Your Excellency General. Since the most important shipyards were destroyed, we have lost the ability to manufacture large sea ships. In addition, the enemy is pressing forward step by step, and the national treasury does not have that much money to invest in the construction of the navy. What's more, such a ship is not any type of ship we have recorded." The adjutant standing next to him hurriedly gave his opinion.
The fifty-year-old general nodded with a serious expression. "I see! Then it seems that this fleet should be the enemy. Sound the alarm immediately and have all the troops gather at the port. This time, we are going to give those bastards some color and let them know that it is impossible to take advantage of Dragon's Descendants alone."
"Understood! I will send those modified Warrior to the front line right now."
After saying that, the adjutant immediately turned around and disappeared at the end of the dark spiral staircase of the tower.
In about ten minutes, countless male Claymore who had undergone simple transformations were driven to the front of the dock like slaves.
Since they are cannon fodder, their mission is to awaken directly when the enemy lands, so they are not even equipped with weapons and armor.
Not to mention weapons and armor, these young people between the ages of fourteen and twenty were severely lacking in clothing to cover their bodies, with only a tattered piece of cloth covering their bodies.
Behind them is the woman Claymore who is responsible for supervising the battle.
Each City Wall, catapults and ballistae near the tower are also in place, and will launch an attack as soon as the fleet enters the range.
But just when the general vowed to make the invading enemy pay the price, the huge fleet led by Allen suddenly began to lower its sails and slow down. The first few ships even came directly sideways and aimed one side of the ship at the heavily defended port.
Before the opponent could react to what was happening, the originally closed gun doors were pushed open one after another, and the thick, black, and long gun barrels were pushed out by the sailors.
The next second...
boom! boom! boom! boom! boom! boom!
The deafening loud noise resounded directly through the sea!
The sailing battleships that dominated the earth in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries began to pour deadly shells directly outside the attack range of all enemy long-range weapons.
After a round of shelling, both the trebuchets and ballistas used for defense on City Wall and the modified Warrior assembled on the dock were all destroyed.
Especially at the pier, wherever you look you can see bloody corpses and broken limbs flying in the sky.
No doubt about it!
This is a Dimensional Strike!
Firearm Era vs. Dimensional Strike of Cold Weapon Era once!
Although some male Warrior possess quite powerful Regeneration Ability after awakening, they are still no different from targets when facing the roaring shells.
After all, not all Awakened Beings have a hard shell like Dauf, which can offset the penetrating power of Cannon to a certain extent.
Moreover, these Awakened Beings have not learned Life Energy and still have to rely on pure physical strength to fight, and the results can be imagined.
Before the landing battle began, Allen used practical actions to teach the opponent a truth, that is, "Sir, times have changed."
