"Feysac Empire's fleet is going to attack here."

Before Angel could retract his gaze towards the late night sea through "Magic Mirror Divination", Alicia Tamara spoke.

Did she feel it too? Is it the challenge to "order" through the following "chaos", or is it the awareness of Demigod Beyonder appearing not far away? It seems that my reason for guessing that she is not Demigod is not very valid. Tamara Family did send a Demigod to negotiate with me...

Angel looked at Yalixiya in strange clothes in surprise, and couldn't help but ask:

"There is indeed an entire fleet. What do you, or rather, you plan to do?"

"Of course, leave here immediately." Yalixiya looked back curiously, as if he heard a question that could be answered without thinking at all, "Cons will soon become the front line of the battlefield. The fleet of Feysac was able to pass through the Intervening Sea and arrive here, not only for a sneak attack, but also to prepare to use this place as a landing point and as a key node to attack the hinterland of Loen."

The other party's reason was consistent with Angel's previous analysis, but it was still a bit unexpected for her to say that he was running away so confidently.

But think about it from another angle. Tamara Family, who is inherited in secret and is similar to those secret sects, may have extremely limited loyalty and sense of belonging to the country. In addition, this war happened between Einhorn and Augustus, who had hunted down and persecuted Among the royal families of the Tamara Family, Orthodox Church who supports them is also the driving force behind Fourth Epoch's destruction of the Tudor Empire. Tamara people are probably happy to see the two countries knocking out their heads. It is best for both sides to suffer losses and have no time to take care of other things.

But if so, this city might...

Angel frowned slightly and suddenly said:

"What if I say I want to hire you? Let you defend against this attack and protect the citizens of the city?"

"Hire..."

Yalixiya repeated this word, and his expression, which originally lacked change, became sluggish, as if he had thought of something.

"That's right, just like you want me to help solve the problem of 'Mirror World'."

Angel chuckled and stood up from the sofa.

The moonlight was obscured by clouds and fog, making the Intervening Sea appear deep and dark. Along the coast, a bombardment fleet composed of multiple Sail Battleships was already in place. They only waited for an order to launch an attack on the Constant City not far away.

After Loen's new ironclad ships were launched one after another, these sailing warships, which are mainly made of wood and only use some metal materials to defend key parts, have seemed a little behind the times. A few days ago, in Pritz Harbor Fosac Sonia Sea Fleet, which bombarded the Loen Navy dock, encountered a fleet of ironclad ships returning to defend themselves. After a brief exchange of fire, each other suffered losses. Both sides claimed to have won the battle, and the other side's losses were several times their own.

But Candidate Einhorn, the commander of this raiding fleet, knew that the armored ships were only slightly damaged in that battle, but Feysac lost five battleships!

Such a gap cannot be made up by the Beyonder that went out with the fleet, not to mention that the Loen ironclad ship is also equipped with the Demigod of "Arbiter", which can extremely Earth Mother The impact of weak supernatural power on the fleet makes the battle depend on the performance of the ships and the training of Sailor, and all these Feysac cannot compare to Loen who has Church of Storms and pays more attention to naval construction.

Fortunately, the three armored ships were defending the southeast coast of Loen. Although Inlet Sea Fleet was equally huge, there was no gap between it and our Sail Battleship... He looked at the Wall Clock on the wall of the captain's room and found that the minute hand finally moved to the 12 position, completely coinciding with the hour hand.

Time is up!

A detailed map of the sea area around Cons suddenly appeared in Candidat's mind. Two rows of inconspicuous brown dots represented the fleet beside him. At this time, the formation had been swung sideways, allowing the large-caliber artillery on one side to obtain the best shooting angle. Parallel dotted lines extended from the fleet and landed on a red cross representing Constant City.

The "accuracy" of "Iron-Blooded Knight" can not only be used in battle, but also play an important role on the battlefield, such as accurately judging the battlefield situation, such as commanding subordinates who are "connected" to itself.

As soon as the corresponding thought came to his mind, the adjutant guarding the radio reception room of the flagship "Palada" immediately received instructions. Radio waves rippled over Intervening Sea. All ships opened fire at the same time, and flames of varying sizes instantly ignited on the dark sea.

Boom, boom.

One after another, the shells were like silent Death, flying over a distance of several thousand meters and arriving in the sky over Cons ton.

"If it's Sequence 3, there's no need for these trouble-prone radios. I can contact the entire fleet by myself... Unfortunately, I didn't have time to be promoted to 'War Bishop' before the war started. Otherwise, I might have a chance to fully digest Potion after the war. If a certain existence happened to, no, it should be said that he died accidentally, I might be able to..."

Candidate Einhorn's thoughts continued to diverge as the shells flew into the sky, as if he had already heard the reinforced concrete houses in the Constant City area falling with the roar, and the stupid Loen people were struggling under the gunfire.

His first round of bombardment was not aimed at the industrial area, but at the densely populated residential area, because Loen had not yet launched a full-scale war, and the factories in the middle of the night did not start working. Blowing them up would only cause losses to the Feysac army that would occupy the place next.

"The second round of shelling came one minute later, and then rushed to the next scheduled location."

Before the cannonball hit the ground, he issued the next command in his mind.

But this time, as soon as his order was sent, the adjutant disappeared from the "connection" as if he had never existed.

Someone is interfering with Distortion's ability... Is it Demigod of another Hunter Pathway, or "Lawyer" of Loen Military?

Candidat was startled and immediately awakened all Sailor, soldiers and his connections on "Palada" to prevent himself from being fatally injured due to sudden injuries that appeared too late to be shared.

Then, he carefully opened the door of the captain's cabin and came to the deck.

In the night sky, a blue light fell from the sky and landed on the bow of the ship almost as soon as Candidat stepped onto the deck of "Palada". Green flames surged up and quickly covered the front half of the deck. People were busy loading shells and preparing to start the second round of bombardment. Sailor wailed and fell in the flames, and quickly turned into lumps of shapeless charcoal.

Just like Candidat imagined the residents of Constant City who fell under shelling.

Boom, boom——

Boxes of cannonballs and gunpowder placed in the open air were detonated, and the orange-yellow flames, which were far less hot than the blue-blue flames, were swallowed up as soon as they rose up. They merged into one body and continued to erode the deck of the ship. It was not until the livid-faced Candidat controlled his own flames to fight that he blocked the opponent's attack.

But in just a few seconds, the front end of the entire flagship had turned into a blazing hell, and none of the dozens of Sailors on the gun emplacement survived.

"The other party is also 'Iron-Blooded Knight'..."

Candidat had a clear understanding in his heart, and he let the flames cover himself without hesitation, and his body expanded rapidly, using "Flame Transformation" to enhance his power.

The power of the remaining Sailor and soldiers in "Connection" was gradually transferred to him, adding a touch of confidence to him.

But the next second, his expression froze, and his eyes were firmly fixed on the figure walking out of the flames.

She was a woman who was not tall, and could even be said to be somewhat slender.

Boom... boom...

Other ships in the fleet launched a second round of artillery fire, but compared to the uniform first round of attacks, the artillery fire was obviously sparse and chaotic.

Among the Sailor and soldiers who controlled the artillery and loaded the shells, many had fever, coughing, vomiting, and fell down from the disease that was spread from nowhere.

Late at night, the residents of Cons ton were awakened by roars that seemed to be very close at hand.

They left the warm bed, came to the window, walked out of the room, and looked at the sky with confusion and fear.

Lines of orange flames continued to bloom in the dark sky, followed by dull but powerful explosions that shook the glass windows and concrete walls.

As an industrial city, Cons is no stranger to the sound of explosions, but they will only appear when blasting to mine ore veins, not over residential areas late at night!

"It's Feysac's fleet!"

The sharp-eyed residents spotted the fire on the sea not far away and shouted in panic.

The battle in which the Feysac fleet attacked Pritz Harbor five days ago was described in newspapers as if Devil was personally present, which made the Loen people in pain. While he hated his northern neighbor, he was also extremely afraid of being invaded and becoming the front line of the war. At this time, a fleet was approaching Cons ton, and the muzzle fire could even be seen clearly with the naked eye, causing the urban area to fall into chaos in an instant.

But the strange thing is that even with such a close shelling, none of the shells landed accurately in the city. They exploded in the air one by one, making huge explosions and a trace of golden fire, constantly illuminating the streets below.

After a while, the bombardment stopped, and the Feysac fleet on the sea began to emit flames and explosions originating from itself. Some of the Sail Battleship that had not been damaged hurriedly turned away from the coast in the light of the fire, but most of them were already blazing with flames, their sails were burning, and their hulls capsized and sank.

On the street where Cons, the largest Church of Night, was located, a corpse wearing Feysac military uniform, with many parts of his body burned black by flames, fell from the air and happened to fall on the square in front of the bell tower.

He is Candidate Einhorn, the commander of the Feysac raid fleet. He has no vital signs at this time, but his eyes are wide open and his mouth is wide open, as if he has seen something extremely terrifying.

Above the church, a slender figure floated. She looked to be in her twenties, with long black hair flying, her round face shrouded in shadow, and her eyes looking downward.
