Things about the female knight in black stockings

In battles above the Yao level, unless the strength gap between the two sides is large or both sides fight to the death, the outcome will always be easy to determine, but life and death will not be determined.The lion-man wild beast ran away as fast as it could, but Lasha, who didn't want to take the risk of going ashore and going deep into the wild ridge, really couldn't do anything about it.

Now that the wounded have been treated and the enemy has been repulsed, Valencia can no longer bear the doubts in her heart:

"Was your ship destroyed by the Wild Beast pirates? Mr. Morgan?"

Morgan is the last name of the middle-aged man who almost died. The young brother and sister are also named Morgan, and they are all his children... These were all questions Valencia asked casually during the treatment just now.

"No, it's not."

Mr. Morgan shook his head with the support of his children:

"Our ship was probably destroyed by the Fog Demon, and then we encountered the Wild Beast Pirates... But you have to ask Mr. Rick for the specific situation. I fainted in the explosion when the ship was destroyed. At that time, I thought I Dead."

"Fog Demon?"

Valencia frowned even more, and this answer was even more unexpected than she expected.

The Fog Demon is indeed one of the culprits in causing various shipwrecks, and can even be said to be the biggest one, but the Fog Demon rarely destroys ships like this.

They often appear suddenly on the ship after heavy fog, and fight with the escorting sailors on the deck, cabin and other places. They only kill people, do not steal things and do not destroy the ship...or in other words, all the escorting sailors are killed or used. After the teleportation scroll escapes, the Fog Demon will summon the fog to swallow the entire ship.

It's very unethical for the Mist Demon to destroy the ship but not kill all the people asking for help like this.

Valencia wanted to ask for more details, but at this time the lifeboat from the direction of the warship also arrived. She could only help send all the helpers to the warship first, so that these people who encountered the fog demon first and then the wild beast could The poor man needs some rest.

The three Morgans, who were just ordinary people, fell asleep quickly after entering the guest room. The guards and sailors also looked exhausted, so Valensa, who wanted to continue asking some questions, was too embarrassed to disturb these people.

Fortunately, Rick, a star-level warrior, knew the current affairs. He just borrowed the bathroom to take a quick shower and change into new clothes, and then took the initiative to find Valencia and Lasha for questioning.

"Thank you again for your help."

Rick thanked him very kindly and then made a statement:

"I know you all have a lot of questions, but our Drago Security team is a security guard hired by Mr. Morgan through a formal contract. Before obtaining Mr. Morgan's authorization, it involves issues that are clearly marked as confidential information in the contract. Please forgive me for the time being. answer.

But if you just want to know our experience of the attack, that’s fine. "

"Well, let's talk about your encounter with the Fog Demon."

Even Valenza, who was sailing on a ship for the first time, could detect the doubts. Lasha, the deputy captain of the Spray Knights who had served in the navy for decades, could naturally also see it.

When asked at this time, Laxia looked a little serious:

"As far as I know, when fog demons attack merchant ships, they usually board the ship directly to attack the sailors and guards. This seems to be completely different from what you encountered?"

"Of course I know what you're talking about. After all, our Drago security team is also a mercenary who specializes in shipping escorts in America."

Rick sighed and smiled bitterly, and his expression became serious:

"But I can swear to the Sun Goddess that what I say is true...our ship was indeed destroyed by a fog demon, a new type of fog demon that I have never seen before."

Chapter 34 Undetectable Underwater Strike

After swearing an oath to the Sun Goddess, Rick told Valencia, Lasha, and the fleet command center who were paying attention to this side through magic projections about his experience of going to sea.

Drago Security is a well-known mercenary group in America. It does work similar to Valencia's security company in her previous life, specializing in providing security services to various top figures.

Since Rick is good at water warfare, he is mainly responsible for sea missions in the mercenary group. He and his men have escorted merchant ships hundreds of times and have very rich combat experience against fog monsters, ocean monsters and wild beast pirates. .

The task Rick received this time was to escort the large merchant ship of the Morgan family, first from America to the Four Islands Alliance, and then back from the Four Islands Alliance.

The Morgan family is one of the truly top families in America, with various properties under its name and a city with administrative and law enforcement powers.

Rick guessed that the reason why they would encounter a new type of fog demon attack was most likely related to what the Morgan family was doing in the Four Islands Alliance... But the specific matter involved a confidentiality agreement, and Rick could not do it without Morgan's authorization. explain.

They encountered the Fog Demon about 10 hours ago, not far from where the wreckage of their ship drifted.

"The first thing that appeared was the fog demon that looked like a big bird."

Rick recalled:

“Although this combat method of directly attacking without using the cover of fog to board the ship was a bit strange to the fog demon, we didn’t pay too much attention to it at first.

Because we have fought a lot of this kind of fog demon before, and in addition to our Drago security guards, Mr. Morgan’s ship also has a team of spellcasters consisting of five magic towers and more than thirty lighthouse-level magicians. , in theory, there is no need to be afraid of these fog demons.

This is also true. Although there are a lot of fog demons that look like big birds, they have been throwing explosive and highly corrosive compressed fog balls in the air to bombard us. However, the shield built by the caster team using magic towers is indestructible, and those large fog demons have been bombarded by them. All bird attacks were blocked.

My boys and I continued to fight back with magic nail guns, shooting the big birds one by one in the air and dissipating into mist.

We all thought that this fog demon attack would most likely end like this, but we didn't expect that we fell into the fog demon's trick. "

"trick?"

Valencia raised her eyebrows:

"Is the Fog Demon deliberately showing weakness and waiting for you to be careless before suddenly sending out more powerful new Fog Demon individuals to launch a strong attack?"

"Not really."

Rick smiled bitterly and shook his head:

"The fog demon that looks like a big bird is actually the most troublesome type of monster that can appear in large numbers... We can deal with it calmly because we are relatively strong. Generally, merchant ships have a high probability of encountering an air raid of that size. They had no choice but to abandon ship and escape.

The trick of the fog demons is not to show the enemy weakness and then launch a surprise attack, but to attack in the east and west. "

"Sound from east to west?"

Valencia frowned slightly, thought for a while and said:

"You mean... you were attacked underwater when you were defending against aerial bombardment?"

"Yes."

Rick let out a long sigh:

"The bombardment from those fog demon birds in the sky is still quite fierce. The caster team must use most of the magic power on the defense when building the shield to ensure that the entire ship will not be harmed, but this will put us in front of us. The defense is weak against underwater attacks.

Of course, although the defense against the water has temporarily weakened a lot, the detection and perception of the water have never relaxed.All underwater conditions within at least 3000 meters around the entire ship can be completely controlled by the magic tower.

But this time, the attack launched by the fog demon from underwater perfectly escaped the detection of the magic tower. It was not discovered with my naked eyes by me on the deck until it was less than 200 meters away from our ship. "

"An underwater attack that cannot be detected by the magic tower?"

Valencia, Lasha, and the fleet headquarters who were paying attention through magic projection all took a breath of surprise at Rick's statement.

For the magic warships in this world, the monitoring function of the magic tower is equivalent to the radar and sonar of the technologically civilized navy.

How terrifying would an underwater attack that couldn't be detected by radar and sonar be?At least in Valencia's previous life, she could destroy any surface fleet!

"What kind of attack was that? Can you see the attacker?"

A naval officer at the fleet command finally couldn't bear it any longer and asked through a magic projection.

"The attacker can't be seen. This should be a long-range attack. It was probably launched simultaneously when the Fog Demon Bird attacked us in the air."

Rick thought about it again and then said:

"After discovering the attack, I rushed to Mr. Morgan's place as soon as possible out of professional ethics. I did not look at the attack in detail. I only had a general impression."

As he spoke, he pointed at Valencia:

"It was a... um, metal cylinder that was moving at high speed through the water. It was about three times as long as the paladin lady, and about as thick as her waist."

...a metal cylinder moving at high speed through the water?Isn't that a torpedo?

Valencia frowned slightly and murmured something in her mind, then asked again:

"Is that the thing that destroyed your ship with one blow?"

"Yes, that thing is extremely powerful. It is definitely as powerful as a high-level spell from a Glory-level spellcaster."

Rick nodded solemnly:

"That's why, even though I rushed to Mr. Morgan as soon as possible after discovering the attack, I was still a step too late, causing him and his children to be injured in the explosion.

At that time, anyone with a discerning eye could see that our ship was hopeless, so many people chose to use teleportation scrolls to escape.

The same goes for the caster team, but they still have some conscience... Before they controlled the magic tower to teleport away, they used up all the magic power originally used to build a shield defense, and released a large spell to kill the fog demon bird in the air. It was almost completely wiped out, which relieved us a lot of pressure later on.

I originally wanted to take Mr. Morgan and the others away using the teleportation scroll, but as you saw, Mr. Morgan was seriously injured by the explosion and could no longer withstand the bumps of space teleportation... I could only take my own men and some brave sailors. Stay to protect Mr. Morgan and wait for rescue.

Fortunately, although Mr. Morgan cannot withstand the bumps of space teleportation, the other life-saving magic scroll he carries with him can still be used... It is a scroll of group invisibility with brilliant strength, which allows us to hide in the wreckage of the ship without being caught. Discover.

It was by relying on the power of this group invisibility scroll that we avoided the battle with the underwater fog demon. It did not find us and simply searched among the wreckage of the ship before leaving.

Unfortunately, the group invisibility scroll's lasting effect did not last long. Shortly after the scroll expired, we encountered the group of wild beast pirates again... You should also know what happened next. "

Chapter 35 Mr. Morgan is also very aggrieved

First use fierce air strikes to attract attention, forcing the caster team to focus their defense on the ship.Then he launches a torpedo that is extremely powerful and can avoid the perception of magic power and penetrates the soul. This is the combat method of the new fog demon in Rick's mouth.

As for the appearance of this new type of fog demon, following Rick's memories and descriptions, the naval magicians on the warship also used magic projection to roughly construct it.

From the overall appearance, this new fog demon looks a bit like a manta ray. It is about the size of a basketball court. It is completely black and looks very metallic, but Rick doesn't know exactly what it feels like.

On the back between the eyes of this manta ray-like fog demon (manta ray is a devil fish), there is an existence that looks like a human girl. Rick can see her upper part more clearly. In addition to her pale skin, her facial features are It's quite beautiful, and the lower part is integrated with the entire manta ray-like fog demon. In other words, she is an organ like an external brain of the manta ray-like fog demon.

After destroying Rick's ship with a weapon that looked like a torpedo, this manta ray-like fog demon once surfaced next to the wreckage of the ship. The fog demon girl, who was only half a human body, searched the wreckage with her eyes. After some time, he dived again and left.

So much for the information Rick provided.

With his oath to the Sun Goddess, Rick should not lie. At most, he would conceal some information that the Morgan family requested to keep confidential in the employment contract.

However, Valencia, Lasha, and most of the officers in the fleet's naval command all believed that the information that Rick concealed was an important reason why Rick and his ship would be attacked by the new type of fog demon.

But the sailors and servants would definitely not know this important information. They would have to ask the middle-aged man Mr. Morgan who almost died.

However, for an ordinary person, encountering the Fog Demon first and then the Wild Beast, and being seriously injured and losing a lot of blood is really exhausting. Mr. Morgan fell into a deep sleep after entering the guest room. He probably needs a good rest to regain his energy. .

The Morgan brothers and sisters, who were not seriously injured and relatively young, quickly regained their vitality. Unfortunately, they were purely traveling with their father to the Four Islands Alliance this time. They talked about eating, drinking and having fun, but when it came to serious matters, they were confused and didn't know anything. Know.

Considering that Mr. Morgan is also a big shot in America, the fleet command decided not to disturb his rest after a brief meeting and wait until he wakes up to ask questions.

The attack of the new type of fog demon must be guarded against. The fleet headquarters ordered all magic towers to enter a state of combat readiness to increase alert and maintain the detection range at the maximum.

At the same time, the Spray Knights will be divided into three groups, taking turns to patrol about 2000 meters outside the fleet, using physical reconnaissance to guard against torpedo-like attacks that cannot be sensed by the magic tower's detection magic.

Although this method is effective, it is also quite difficult and dangerous for the wave riders. They may be attacked by ocean monsters at any time when they are far away from the fleet.

In just over two hours, more than ten spray knights were injured during patrols and were sent to the medical class for treatment. There was even an unlucky girl who had her leg bitten off by a sea monster and had to be sent back to the capital to receive her promotion. The regeneration of severed limbs through divine magic, or the miracle of the goddess that awaits every New Year’s Eve.

Mr. Morgan slept for nearly 7 hours before finally waking up. After a simple wash and a nutritious meal, he was invited to the command center of the Serravina, accompanied by his children.

This time Valencia and Tia, as well as Yahiro as the business representative, also came to the headquarters to observe.

Mr. Morgan is naturally grateful for the assistance of the French Navy.

But when the officers asked about the purpose of the Morgan family's trip to the Four Islands Alliance, Mr. Morgan was hesitant and tried to change the subject many times, as if he didn't want to talk.

In the end, Elsess lost her princess temper and said a bunch of uncomfortable words without any curse words in a sarcastic tone, and finally pried Mr. Morgan's mouth open.

"...Actually, in this business, our Morgan family is just a middleman. Even before we arrived at the Four Islands Alliance to meet the customer, even I didn't know that it would be like this."

Faced with the pressure from Elsess as a royal princess, Mr. Morgan smiled bitterly and seemed a little aggrieved:

"If it were just our Morgan family's business, I would definitely not hide anything, but this time the real deal with the Four Islands Alliance is the Council of Sages."

"Council of Sages?"

The other people in the fleet command room looked at each other, their expressions a little solemn.

The Church of the Sun, the Forest of Witches, and the Council of Sages are human civilization...or the three largest cultivator organizations on Eve except the Eastern Continent. They are similar to the cultivating sects in Xianxia novels. Although they do not interfere with secular political power, But the influence will not be lower than that of the country, or even higher.

Needless to say, the Church of the Sun, as a church that believes in the only true creation-level God of the universe, the Church of the Sun can be said to be a truly lawful good organization.Since ancient times, it has helped people fight against disasters many times. It has nothing to ask for from people except faith, does not interfere in the internal affairs of the country, does not ask for any property, and will even provide all daily necessities for free and unconditionally when people need it.

At the same time, the Church of the Sun is also the undisputed strongest among the three major organizations... In name, the three major cultivator organizations are equal, but if the Church of the Sun becomes serious, the Council of Sages and the Forest of Witches will only be able to face the Church of the Sun even if they join forces. Can be crushed.

As for the Council of Sages, although they often try to make themselves similar to the Church of the Sun in terms of performance, they are actually far behind.

The Church of the Sun is backed by a creation-level true god, with nearly unlimited resources, and it really doesn’t care about many worldly interests.

The same cannot be said for the Council of Sages. As a group of materialist spellcasters who pursue experience, technology and efficient spellcasting, if they want to improve themselves, they can neither act coquettishly to the goddess like the priests, nor can they be at home like the witches. As I lay there thinking about it, I must use a lot of experiments to conduct research.

And research, no matter in any era or in any world, is the most money-consuming activity... Therefore, the Council of Sages does not care about worldly interests as it pretends on the surface, but cares very much.

The relationship between Fran and the Church of the Sun is too close, and the Four Islands Alliance is the dictatorial territory of the super powerful Ghost Queen Himiko, so it is difficult for the Council of Sages to interfere too much.

Therefore, there are many large chambers of commerce in America, which are inextricably linked to the Council of Sages...especially the sages in the Tower of Sages.

The Morgan family is one of them.
