Chapter 625 86. The King and the General·It's so cool to work for yourself
Let's not mention the surprise and fright of Derek, who was in a desperate situation where they had to raise the bloody flag and fight to the end, when they suddenly saw their father running to help with a "tattered fleet" obtained from who knows where. Let's just talk about the pirate duke Farwynd.
Kul Tiran Navy, who had already secured the victory, saw the iconic "Sea Sovereign" appear, and his own side, which was trying its best to encircle and annihilate the imperial fleet, immediately became commotion.
The sailors are also human beings, and the captains are also human beings. The reason why they came here to fight the imperial fleet is because Imperial Army has indeed invaded their country.
They call this protecting the homeland and the country!
And because Waking Dream exists and affects their thinking, the minds of these pure soldiers are filled with disgust for the Strom'kar Empire. In addition, the outrageous memories implanted tell them that Prince Derek is the real traitor to the empire, so the sailors are so active in sinking this eyesore fleet.
But now, King Daelin appears on the sea battlefield with his flagship that is unknown to everyone in Kul Tiras and even the entire South Seas.
Although the appearance of the ship looked quite strange. There were strange eyes on the mast, the hull was covered with black and gray horn, and even the ropes were rolled up with slender tentacles. It looked like a living sea monster. But when Daelin's Battle Standard was raised, some veterans who were loyal to the admiral and attracted by Daelin's charisma immediately broke away from the damn thinking interference.
Mainly because N'Zoth is dead.
The remaining mental influence had become very weak. In the fierce war, there was definitely no time for the sailors to correct their thoughts. However, due to the appearance of Daelin and that strange shabby fleet, the war was forcibly terminated. In addition, the sudden burst of sunlight shining on the sea surface caused the light and heat to dissipate. Will the Steadfast immediately discovered that something was wrong.
The sunlight that was falling was also outrageous, and it obviously carried some kind of damn metaphysical power. This must be the invisible hand of a certain Vigilant exerting force again.
When it fell on the battlefield filled with gunpowder smoke, those Faceless Ones and K'xir disguised as Tidesages and sailors Warrior screamed and all illusions were removed. The application of light and heat caused white smoke to burst out from their bodies as if they were ignited, and their flesh and blood shaped by the void were as painful as being exposed to sulfuric acid.
Now, any commander Kul Tiras who is not blind will know that he has "fell into the trap".
They do worship the belief in ocean tides, because the power of ocean tides can bless their every voyage smoothly, but belief in ocean tides does not mean that they can accept these octopus-faced monsters lurking around them.
Not to mention sailors, some pirates were shocked when they saw the person next to them turned into Void Creature after they woke up.
Pirates are indeed depraved, but no matter how depraved they are, they are still individuals.
Unless you are forced to do so, who would be willing to be a monster?
Therefore, as Derek watched in shock, the enemy, which had already seized the advantageous bombardment position and prepared to take away its own fleet in a wave, started to be in chaos internally.
Under the purifying sunlight, the sailors who woke up drew their swords and muskets and launched a surprise attack on the screaming Void Monster.
There was chaos on the deck, and some smarter commanders immediately hung up the white flag and maneuvered the ship to evacuate to the edge of the battlefield.
As soon as this was done, the encirclement that Farwynd worked so hard to create immediately had a loophole, allowing the excited Derek and his equally excited commanders to rush out of the encirclement without delay.
Admiral Daelin laughed wildly. His Sea Sovereign was extremely damaged in the previous battle to rescue another of his children, and the entire ship tilted when it was moving.
If this wasn't a metaphysical battleship, it would probably have rolled over long ago.
There is a terrifying crack under the ship, and Dark Power in the cabin has transformed into tentacles that are constantly scooping water out and sealing the hull.
But overall, it's not a big problem!
Amidst the roar of the trident held by the admiral Daelin, the monster-like Sea Sovereign brutally crashed into the pirate ship blocking the way.
The ignorant guy actually turned the cannon on the deck to try to fire a shot at the monster ship, but as soon as he took aim, a Black Lightning fell from the sky, hitting the pirate captain and chopping the guy into ashes on the spot.
The strange ocean currents rolled up the overestimating pirate ship and kept turning, and then smashed it into pieces when the phantom tentacles behind Sea Sovereign slammed into it.
At this moment, King Daelin, who was at the helm, withdrew his fingers expressionlessly, and there were still arc sparks remaining on his Stormcaller Crown.
Although Sea Sovereign was taken away by Admiral Daelin first, this ship was specially "promoted" to him by N'Zoth after all. He and Admiral Daelin share the same identity, so he can naturally control this battleship.
There are only four people on this boat now.
King Daelin is the driver, Admiral Daelin is the battle captain, Little Witch Jaina is the spell caster, and Tandred is the gunnery commander. A family of four can operate this monster ship that requires hundreds of people to achieve combat effectiveness, and the combat effectiveness is very good.
The "Toy Fleet" left by N'Zoth to Tandred also followed Sea Sovereign and sprinted forward.
They are all subordinate Void Creature, very similar to the "Ghost Ship", but they are all subordinate to the fleet of N'yalotha City, and naturally they are commanded and mobilized by the King of N'yalotha.
The One Unfortunately, because the exchange between dreams and reality has ended, the king clearly feels that he is being "pulled" back to his own territory. He cannot stay in this Material World that does not belong to him for a long time.
"Hurry up!"
The king said so.
The void battleships following Sea Sovereign immediately accelerated, like unmanned "self-destruction ships".
They cleared the way for the void flagship that was accelerating on the sea in a sacrificial collision manner. Those naval guns wrapped in Void Power fired randomly, and it was not accurate at all. After all, there was no gunner to control it.
But the visual effect of the continuous collision of so many tattered void ships is very exaggerated, and the posture is like a group of desperate mad Warrior attacking the enemy formation, in order to clear the way for their king to advance gracefully.
This scene was also noticed by Derek who was rushing out of the encirclement.
The prince had already formed his own set of empirical logic during the long war. When he realized that his father's target was the Pirate Duke's flagship "Devil Shark" located in the middle of the enemy's formation, Derek immediately made a decision.
"Turn the ship around!"
He chopped to death a Naga that crawled out of the sea on the deck, and roared to the first mate who was at the helm:
"Support the flagship of Kul Tiras, we are also moving towards Devil Shark! Let other warships enter the bombardment position and support us with firepower."
"Captain, we don't have enough shells."
The first mate shouted:
"If we rush over like this, I'm afraid we'll end up in a gang fight."
"Firepower?"
Derek grinned, his bloodshot eyes full of determination, pointing at Sea Sovereign who was still accelerating, and said:
"With that big ship at the front, what firepower do we need? If we don't kill Farwynd here today, how can we wash away the shame of Kul Tiras being breached by pirates?
That guy's body will be hung on the dock at Boralus until it dries!"
While Derek's flagship also began to launch "Charge" towards Devil Shark, screams also rang out from the ship, which was on the edge of the battlefield and was turning under the protection of several warships.
Kul Tiras's regent Lord Ashvane and his fat wife looked horrified now. They hid in the captain's cabin and looked at the sea from the porthole.
The victory just now made the two guys very happy. Although they are destined to be unable to return to Kul Tiras and continue to live a life of masters, Ashvane Family has made enough money during this period, and the property has been transferred to all parts of the world. They only need to accept the makeover of Void Magic, and they can continue to live a good life of luxury and wealth in the future.
However, after that madman Daelin came out of "hell" with his monster ship, the situation of this naval battle took a turn for the worse.
Although Devil Shark is full of powerful void Warrior, and Farwynd is also an extremely good naval commander, but now his own fleet is in chaos, and the other party has launched a raid on this ship, which makes Lord Ashvane feel very insecure.
"What are we waiting for? Run!"
The Lord grabbed a handful of Command Dagger that could not be used to protect himself, kicked open the door of the captain's cabin, rushed out and ran to Duke Falrevere who was standing in front of the steering wheel. He shouted loudly:
"What are you still expecting? We have already lost, our army has been defeated! That ghost sunshine is targeting us, Daelin and his monster ship are coming for you and me, the two Daelin are going to strangle us to death!
Run!"
"Shut up."
The pirate duke didn't even look at the greedy regent.
He stared hard at Sea Sovereign, who was rushing towards him. The enhanced vision given by the void allowed him to clearly see the admiral Daelin holding a trident on the bow of the ship, and the king Daelin who was at the helm.
These two people actually collaborated?
It's really unimaginable.
"Oh, I have long said that N'Zoth cannot conquer souls like Daelin with its ridiculous tricks. Unfortunately, Old God also has its own sad arrogance."
The pirate duke curled his lips, turned back and grabbed the still squirming Lord Ashvane, lifted the fat man into the air with one hand, and stuffed a "bug" that shone with void psionic energy into his mouth as he let out a suffocating wail.
He loosened his fingers and let Lord Ashvane hit the deck. The latter frantically picked at his throat and tried to spit out the disgusting bug, but the thing had already crawled into his body along his esophagus and started biting.
"You! What on earth did you feed me?"
The regents were going crazy.
He said with a pale face:
"Not everyone is as willing to become a monster as you are!"
"Really? I was very happy when I saw you working with monsters before. Under the protection of Old God, you were enjoying the power of one person and more than ten thousand people."
Farwynd waved his hand, letting the Void Warriors on his battleship prepare to face the enemy.
In the background of Sea Sovereign roaring and rushing over, he moved his neck and pulled out his serrated sword, and said to Lord Ashvane, who was already mutating in flesh and blood:
The latest ⊥ little ⊥ talk ⊥ is first posted on ⊥⊥⊥!
"You should have thought of this day when you made the deal with the abyss, greedy bastard, I was forced to become a monster, but you, you were already a monster before you ate the bug.
Don't be afraid.
I'm just helping you show your true self."
After saying that, the pirate duke no longer paid attention to the screaming Ashvane. He turned around and looked at the Sea Sovereign that was heading towards his warship under gunfire.
His eyes collided with those of Admiral Daelin on the bow of the other ship. The two veterans who had fought side by side for many years stood up and leaped over almost at the same time, fighting each other a second before the two ships collided.
The pirate duke had no intention of running away.
In fact, compared with the carelessness when he commanded the fleet to encircle Derek, now he is as militant and excited as Lion is waking up, and he seems to have been looking forward to this battle.
After almost thirty minutes, the raid against Devil Shark finally ended.
When Derek stepped onto the deck of the ship covered with void wreckage, covered in gunpowder smoke, he saw his king's father half-kneeling next to a ferocious monster that was strangled by Thunder, taking off the seal of "Kingdom Regent" from its tentacles.
And behind the steering wheel higher up, his admiral father was holding a trident, coughing blood, and blasting Duke Falrevere's head into Void Monster's head with a firecracker and igniting it.
My little sister is summoning Blizzard to freeze the surrounding sea surface, preventing the ships and the Void Creature on the ships from escaping with the pirates. My little brother is staying on the deck of Sea Sovereign, waving Command Dagger and constantly ordering the cannon of the void battleship to fire, to send all these filthy ships into the sea.
Of course, because of the subtle connection between Sea Sovereign and Waking Dream, all the ships sunk by it will be sent into N'yalotha's Blackwater Sea in the form of "Broken Fleet", along with those void creatures, and become delicious nourishment for the insect swarm that has just taken root there.
Derek sighed, and he threw Command Dagger, who was curled up with his sword, aside, and stepped forward with some hesitation to look at the two fathers who were almost identical except for their clothes and temperament.
He fell into the same embarrassment as his younger sister and younger brother.
Who should be called first?
But the two Daelin were very open-minded. The admiral wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, laughed and stepped forward to hold the king's shoulders, and said to his children like two good brothers:
"From now on, we can talk about our own affairs. Just call him "uncle"."
"Why didn't I call you "uncle"?"
The king pushed the admiral away and looked at himself with disgust. Why didn't he realize that he was so annoying?
Amidst the laughter of the three children, King Daelin also laughed. He touched the seal of Kingdom Regent in his hand, shook his head, threw it to Derek, and said:
"Take it back and give it to Lothar. I'm leaving. I'm going back to my territory. N'yalotha is calling me."
"Father!"
Jaina took a step forward and said:
"You should stay here, Vigilant Saint will definitely have a way to rescue you."
"But I don't need saving, kid."
The king smiled and touched his daughter's hair. He took a few steps back. As the shadows swirled in the cold wind, one after another sickly pale Shadowkin appeared behind the king, just like surrounding the leader.
He opened his arms and said:
"These poor people are destined to be unable to return to the world under the sun. Their lives in N'yalotha always need the protection and guidance of a king. What's more, the annoying sailor robbed my ship, which means that he must also take responsibility."
The king looked at the admiral and said:
"Every year I send ten ships and three hundred heinous scum of the sea. As your "rent" for taking away Sea Sovereign, I need to open up a Shadowkin city in N'yalotha. I need those sinners to serve their sentences in the new ocean hell Confession."
"Okay, the price is very fair."
The admiral held the trident, took off his pirate hat and threw it into the water aside. He then took the captain's hat from his eldest son and put it on his head. He said:
"I will go to Tol Dagor in a moment and send you all the scum there."
"Uh, Dad, all the prisoners of Tol Dagor were released by the Ashvane Family, and now they are spread all over the world's oceans."
Derek whispered:
"To recapture them, you have to at least travel throughout South Seas, and even go to the North Sea. I heard that several pirate ports have emerged there."
"Okay, isn't this more perfect?"
The admiral grinned, standing with his sons and daughters, watching his other self quietly Dispersion like a soap bubble surrounded by Shadowkin.
A second before the other party went back to N'yalotha, Daelin suddenly said:
"Aren't you going to say a few words to our wives?"
"That's your wife"
The king waved his hand and said without looking back:
"I'm used to being alone and enjoying solitude."
In this very pretentious farewell, King Daelin disappeared under the sunshine of the real world. When he was brought back to the ruins of N'yalotha in Waking Dream, a timid figure tremblingly rushed toward him.
The coquettish and plump Naga matriarch was really frightened. She was almost caught and burned to death by those vicious State Priests.
King Daelin shrugged and reached out to pat his lover Naga in his arms.
Being N'Zoth's puppet was the worst experience in his life, but how can I put it, the experience of having a Naga lover was pretty good.
