Dawn came after the storm.
Prince Hans stood on the port with a livid face, which made the originally handsome man look a bit gloomy. I'm afraid no matter who it is, there is no news after a patrol fleet under his command goes out, and it can even be said that no one is alive or dead, and he will definitely be in a bad mood at the moment. A whole day has passed, and the patrol fleet has completely lost track since it went out yesterday morning, and it is not known whether it was sunk by Arendelle's navy or sunk in the storm last night.
Logically speaking, a storm of this magnitude cannot threaten large warships, and the storm last night was at most overturning some fishing boats.
"His Royal Highness Prince."
A heavily armed young man walked over quickly, knelt down on one knee and said, "No news! The battleship sent out to search has no clues."
Time passed bit by bit.
Soon, the warships sent out to search today returned to the port one by one, but Prince Hans, who was standing on the port waiting, glanced at it, his face immediately turned ugly, and he frowned and said, "Where is the Orion?"
"Didn't Orion go to sea together today?"
Hearing his inquiry, the others also looked at it in surprise, and they did not find the Orion warship, but the search warship sent out now has just returned, so someone next to him comforted: "Your Highness, don't worry, maybe the Orion is still there. In the back. I have ordered them not to leave the nearby waters today, so as not to be attacked by Arendelle's battleship. If there is any movement, they will immediately send out signal flares, which can be seen directly from here."
Prince Hans nodded when he heard the words, but his expression was still ugly, because he intuitively told himself that something was wrong.
…
calm sea.
A dilapidated ship was sinking little by little, and Sauron stood expressionlessly on the deck of the Deathwhisperer, watching the battleship sinking little by little in front of him. He was playing with something similar to a firework tube in his hand, and his expression seemed to be thinking about something. After a while, he directly opened the signal flare, accompanied by a beam of light soaring into the sky, and then exploded a very eye-catching beam in midair. The fireworks can be seen from a distance even in daytime.
"Deep-sea diving!"
Sauron stared at the island in the distance, and then ordered in a deep voice: "Summon the mist!"
"Undead undead are ready to fight!"
The ghost ship Dead Whisperer gradually dived into the bottom of the sea, and a fog appeared on the nearby sea surface, but because it was daytime, the fog just made everything look a bit hazy, and the range seemed to shrink a lot, just covering the nearby sea surface .
the other side.
Near the port of Arendelle, above a towering lighthouse, Princess Anna also stared into the distance with a sad face, and said softly, "Didn't you see their battleship today?"
In order to block the port of Arendelle, basically the warships of the southern island countries will appear in the nearby waters once a day.
They didn't dare to storm the port yet, so they could only temporarily block it like this.
After all, Arendelle is also a kingdom. No matter how severely the navy is hit, it still has the most basic defensive capabilities.
"Your Majesty the Princess."
Standing next to her was a bearded general. He put down the binoculars in his hand and said in a deep voice, "I didn't see any enemy patrol ships today, not even Vrykul pirate warships."
Princess Anna frowned slightly when she heard the words, and said in a low voice, "Could it be that they withdrew their troops?"
"It's unlikely." The bearded general shook his head and said, "I'm more worried that they want to attack the port. Last time they bombarded the lighthouse, but our fleet immediately pushed them back."
"The number of enemy warships is twice as many as ours. I'm afraid they won't give up so easily!"
Princess Anna fell silent.
She seemed to have not had a good night's sleep for a long time, her beautiful face seemed a little haggard, and she murmured: "I wish my sister was here. I'm really useless!..."
The bearded general had a bitter expression when he heard the words, and said in a deep voice, "It's all because of the incompetence of the subordinates! If I hadn't discovered their trap, the kingdom's navy wouldn't even have the ability to go to sea to fight."
"Her Majesty's talent cannot be doubted!"
"During this period of time, His Majesty has managed the kingdom's political affairs in an orderly manner. It's all my fault..."
Princess Anna waved her hand to stop his words, and said softly: "General Barca, don't blame yourself, we didn't expect them to mix with Vrykul pirates."
A kingdom's regular navy teamed up with a group of notorious vrykul pirates.
It would damage the kingdom's reputation to spread such things, and they did not expect that Prince Hans of the southern island country would actually do such a thing.
We must know that many kingdoms jointly promulgated the 'Pirate Act' back then.
Arendelle's prosperous economy is due to the weakening of pirate power. After all, there are not many pirates like Sauron in this world. Most of the pirates are from the chaotic camp and rely entirely on robbing merchant ships to survive.
"Your Majesty the Princess!"
The bearded general named Barca suddenly raised his head, pointed at the distant sky and said in a deep voice, "Look over there! There is a situation!..."
A flame shot straight into the sky.
Even Arendelle could see the bright light of the flare. This is a specially prepared alchemy item, and it can be seen far away.
…
Keel Island.
As time passed, Prince Hans' face became more and more ugly. When the other warships came back, he still did not see the Orion and said in a deep voice: "Lookout? Haven't seen the Orion yet?" ?"
"His Royal Highness!" A naval officer standing beside him suddenly raised his head and pointed to the sky, and said in a deep voice, "Look! Signal flare!"
"There is a situation over there! It should be the signal flare sent by the Orion!"
Prince Hans was shocked when he heard the words, and immediately ordered: "Call the fleet to sea! Let the Vrykul pirates set off together!"
A patrol fleet went missing last night, and another warship did not come back today.
His intuition told him that something bad had happened, so he immediately ordered the fleet to assemble and set off.
The fleets of the southern island countries gathered very quickly, and the navies who had been on standby boarded the ships one after another. The figures of Vrykul pirates also appeared in the port. Their number was only half of that of the southern island countries, but most of them looked sturdy. The burly man in the horn helmet said a few words to Prince Hans, and then boarded a dragon-headed warship. Probably because the warships from the southern island nation were missing, the Vrykul pirates looked indifferent, and less than one-third of the pirate ships went to sea.
However, in the end, there were still hundreds of warships, large and small, heading towards the location where the signal flare was fired.
…
In the blue sea water.
Sauron's hair fluttered with the current, and he quietly watched the sea, waiting for the appearance of the enemy.
Harvesting heads is undoubtedly the fastest way to gain killing experience, especially many of the navies of the southern island countries are advanced professionals. In the battle last night alone, he gained nearly 50,000 killing experience. This is because many enemies died in the hands of the undead undead and mutant killer whales. According to this progress, I am afraid that he does not need to complete the chain mission of the 'Four Elemental Crystals', as long as he defeats Prince Hans' navy, he may enter the legendary realm.
Sauron's current killing experience reserve has reached a full 230,000, and he can increase the professional level of a Shadow Warrior at any time.
This time, he didn't save the killing experience, but directly raised the shadow warrior level to level 6.
"The shadow warrior profession has been upgraded to level 6."
"Gain 32 (agility value 26 + (intelligence 22-10) * 0.5) skill points, HP increased by 14 points (professional life 8 points + (physical constitution 22-10) * 0.5)."
…
At this stage, the speed of Sauron's strength improvement is slow, because it has entered a bottleneck period, which is the field of quasi-legendary.
Only when his strength breaks through the legendary realm, will he get a big improvement. At that time, he will be able to master the special rewards of [Proficient Intuitive Dodge], [Proficient Reflex Dodge] and [Mental Agility]. The legend is a huge watershed. After entering the legendary realm, Sauron can further master the legendary combat skill [Shadow Step] and the legendary ability [Shadow Field].
Just entering the legendary field, the most obvious improvement should be fighters and barbarians, because at this time they can obtain the specialty of [Epic Strong].
They will become quite inhuman with this feat!
Under normal circumstances, saints who are incarnations of gods have more than 500 health points, and among all professionals, only fighters and barbarians can reach this level.
[Epic Strong] If it is raised to the limit, it can increase the life value of more than 300 points.
They can bathe in the magma because of their perverted vitality. As for other professionals, it may take a long time to learn and exercise after entering the legendary field, especially spellcasters need a lot of time to learn and master legendary spells. After the Legendary Domain, the rogue's ability to fight head-on will be distanced by traditional melee professionals, so mastering the [Shadow Domain] is the key to dealing with them.
Sauron has already received an information reminder.
There are only two more times before you can master [Shadow Domain], and then no matter what powerful enemies you encounter, you can try to escape across planes.
As it gets closer and closer to the legendary level.
The killing experience needed for Sauron to upgrade his occupation has also doubled. His current occupation level is 'level 10 civilian/level 7 thief (0/186500)/level 6 shadow warrior (0/215000)/level 10 wizard (0/148500) [Fourth stage]. '
Only two professional levels are left, and he has entered the ranks of legendary professionals!
However, the last two professional levels are also the most difficult, because he may need close to 450,000 killing experience, deducting the current reserve of killing experience, there is still a gap of nearly 400,000. According to the results of last night's battle, he would have to come back at least nine times.
In other words, he needs to sink at least 50 warships from the southern island country!
