Thank you for the invitation. I am in Terra, just under the stars.

"..."

Carmen was suddenly startled.

He turned to look at the sea, where the waves were crashing against the rocks on the shore.

I don’t know when, but there was a trace of blood in the gloomy ocean.

It was like a switch was triggered. When he noticed this, the sea quickly turned red, and a thick and disgusting smell of blood floated along the sea breeze.

"...The sea turned red?"

"Could this be a sign?"

"It could also be those sea monsters just now..."

The uneasy chatter sounded from Ellen's warship and spread to Carmen's ears along the sea breeze.

He didn't pay too much attention to it. There was no need to worry about the soldiers of the Punishment Army. Each one of them had a spirit and will that surpassed ordinary people. Like the Inquisitor, they were the ones who stood out from the crowd at the time of Iberia's survival.

Looking along the sea dyed red to the distant sea level, Carmen was calm on the surface but a little impatient in his heart. He was eager to know what happened in the area besieged by Haiji, and was worried that there would only be ruins left after he passed.

But no matter how anxious you are, you can only wait here. If you want to go to the sea, you must have the help of the Punishment Army. They are the experts in naval warfare.

Raising her hands to straighten her already neat collar, Carmen stared at the sea and murmured in a low voice:

"I hope it's not too late..."

The Punishment Army moves very quickly. As an army that was once the overlord of the generation, they have good order and structure, and there will be no such thing as an order taking a long time.

Just a few minutes passed, and warships broke through the blood-red sea and parked nearby on the coast of Glenfalot, forming a fleet of more than twenty ships one after another.

Although they are all wooden boats, and there are ten small ones...

But it still looks like that. Iberian flags are raised on the masts, and rows of dark gun muzzles are displayed on the side of the ship.

"Your Excellency Carmen, we are ready and can set off at any time!" Major Ellen ran back and said.

Due to time constraints, she did not lead other officers to see this living legend. Everyone else was on the boat that had not docked, so she was the one to inform.

"Let's go straight away, I'll just take your boat."

"Yes!"

The two boarded the warship. After they boarded, the warship also joined the formation of the punishment fleet.

On the flagship of the fleet, the flag-bearer began to take command, and 21 warships of various sizes sailed to the ocean in an orderly manner, making waves of water on the blood-stained sea.

Listening to the continuous sound of water, Carmen's mood became calmer. There was nothing he could affect now, so he just had to wait patiently.

However, not long after they started, the Punishment Army's fleet suddenly made a discovery that forced them to stop temporarily.

What appeared in front of the fleet was a giant ship that was far larger than any of their ships.With thick steel armor and a terrifying caliber main gun, its body is inevitably stained with the dust of history, but the mere dust cannot stop the brilliance at all.

Like a big ship made of gold, it shines like a standing lighthouse under this gloomy sky and on this bloody sea.

Brilliant golden light is overflowing, showing to future generations the unfading glory of the Iberian Golden Age.

Everyone held their breath, and no Iberian could remain unmoved in the face of this past glory.

Stutophila, 'The Fool'.

Even though the original intention of its construction by the princes and nobles was not aboveboard, its existence itself symbolizes the backbone of every Iberian soldier.

"Your Excellency Carmen..."

A tangled voice came from beside her. She didn't need to look at Carmen to know that Major Ellen, who had always remained calm, was looking at her with what kind of eyes she had.

Carmen was silent for a moment and said:

"Stop it and deal with it as soon as possible."

Major Allen immediately went to ask his flag bearer to give the signal, while Carmen looked down at the railing she was holding tightly.

21 warships and thousands of soldiers of the Punishment Army were a powerful force. They quickly brought news after landing on the Stuttifera.

There are traces of sea heir activity on it. It was predicted that there were fresh heirs living on it not long ago, but now there are only some withered corpses left.

It's so quiet on the ship. The main force must have been transferred to the front line, right? (Forcing truth)

What is even more unexpected is that there are still living people on this ship... No, to be precise, it should be a living person and an heir, at least judging from their appearance.

Assia, the first mate of the Stutophila, and its captain...

"……Alfonso?"

The hand holding the railing trembled slightly, and as she murmured the name, a long trance appeared on Carmen's resolute face.

42. The sun rises from the sea level

Alfonso under the pomegranate tree, Alfonso the Fallen.

He is the hero in the hearts of every Iberian soldier, but compared to Carmen, later generations' descriptions and views of him inevitably have some unreal mythical qualities.

After all, Alfonso had already disappeared into the ocean together with the Stutifela, and Iberia, which had ushered in the Great Silence, had no ability to go to sea at all.Just look at the current fleet of the Punishment Army. They are all wooden sailing ships that can only guarantee offshore navigation. Once they leave the offshore, there is a great risk of disappearing into the ocean.

It’s true that some people, fearing life and death, tried to inherit the legacy of their ancestors and open up the sea, but they either had no news or fled back to the shore with serious injuries.

Therefore, Alfonso is already a great man in the history books for today's Iberians.

For Carmen, the name has other meanings.

Alfonso was his best friend.

Recalling the last time she met Alfonso nearly 60 years ago, when they said goodbye in front of the largest port in Iberia, Carmen followed Major Ellen to the hospital ship cabin in a daze.

In the cabin, which was filled with the smell of disinfectant, there were two 'people' surrounded by a group of medical staff in white coats, undergoing detailed examinations.

One of them is completely a sea heir, with a long and narrow head, a skinny torso, sharp teeth and claws on its limbs, and tentacles floating on its spine.

It grinned, and its mouth emitted a blue light that looked like radiation.

But unlike those heirlooms he had seen before, this heirloom did not have any intention to attack, nor did it make any additional moves. It sat quietly with another person and allowed the medical staff to stick the examination equipment on it. On oneself.

And another...

Under a captain's hat, the vicissitudes of old age are surrounded by beards like the roots of old trees.The facial features had become more profound due to aging, but Carmen could recognize from the vague outline that it was Alfonso.

He was wearing shabby clothes, with traces of the former Iberian Navy uniforms barely visible.Starting from the shoulder of the left arm, an entire sleeve disappeared, revealing a strong arm with dark blue skin like a sea heir, shaped like plant fiber, and even had seaweed-like tentacles swaying on it.

Looking along the arms, one can see that part of the skin on his torso is also covered in Haiji's scales, but the skin on his shoulders becomes human skin again.

As some of the test results came out, the silent medical staff couldn't help but let out gasps of air-conditioning exclamation.

Several of the leaders of the medical staff whispered a few words to each other before moving on to the next examination.

Alfonso didn't care about this. He was well aware of his physical condition and believed even more in his will. He had no choice but to believe in it.

When Carmen, who was in a daze, approached the cabin, his eyes were attracted by the old man who was so tall that it felt like he could rush out and tear the enemy to pieces at any time.

The eyes of the two best friends met again after almost 60 years.

Carmen sees Alfonso, Alfonso the Hero.

He was so confident and high-spirited that even now he stubbornly raised his chin and looked over as if inspecting.

Carmen said nothing, silently waiting for the medical staff to complete the examination.

Some people noticed him, but he pressed his hand down, and they returned to work silently.

After the last inspection was completed, they paid tribute to the saint one after another and then left the cabin, leaving Carmen here who obviously wanted to say something alone with Alfonso.

The last person to leave was Major Ellen. She closed the door thoughtfully, and the space filled with disinfectant immediately became quiet. Only the Originium lamp above her head, which did not look like a wooden boat, gave off a warm light. .

"Alfonso……"

"Carmen."

The two called each other's names. Carmen was a little hesitant, but Alfonso was much more decisive.

The proud captain puffed out his chest, waved his sea-transformed arm and said:

"As you can see, part of me turned into one of those damn things.

"There are many stories, but from the looks of it you don't have the time to listen to me tell them for three days and three nights.

"Dark clouds and huge waves have trapped us for 60 years, and seaweeds and dinos have invaded my ship. Food is limited, and we have to feed on the carcasses of dinos.

"Then it became what it is now."

Alfonso's tone was flat.

In her memory, Carmen rarely saw him so plain. The captain was always full of passion. He had the strongest desire for adventure and the ability to realize that desire. He led the Iberian navy to gallop across the sea wantonly. superior.

But from this dullness, Carmen realized more that the unyielding flame was burning in his chest.

Hai Hei is a kind of pollution, a kind of mental pollution that can break people down.

Carmen couldn't imagine how this old friend had persisted stubbornly under the corrosion of sea heirloom for nearly 60 years. According to the records of human experiments on criminals used by the Inquisition, the longest record of enduring sea heirloom contamination was one year.

Carmen had too much to say at the moment, but she didn't know what to say because she had so much to say, so she fell silent for a moment.

Alfonso did not stop. The captain raised his arms and hugged Hai Hei beside him. His weathered face showed a rare trace of warmth, and he said in a softer voice:

"This is Garcia, she's been with me, from the beginning."

Garcia raised his hand and said hello to Carmen without saying a word.

At this moment, the cabin suddenly began to shake and the door was opened. Major Allen stood at the door and shouted:

"Your Excellency Carmen, there is a situation at sea!"

Without hesitation, Carmen immediately turned around and ran out, while Alfonso silently hugged Garcia, and the half-sea heir and the sea heir cuddled together on the ship of the Punishment Army.

Ta-ta-ta, after quickly walking onto the deck, Carmen immediately realized something was wrong.

The weather near Glenfalot is extremely gloomy, and the dark clouds seem to never clear up, hanging on the town's head all year round.

But now it's daylight.

The sea breeze that gradually became wild was blowing, blowing on my face with a salty taste.The blood-red water was restlessly turbulent, and a tidal wave slapped against the side of the ship, causing the wooden sailboat to inevitably shake violently.

And the sky...

The dark clouds remain.

Where does light come from?

Light comes from the sea.

Light, incomparable light, extremely brilliant light, blooms at the end of the sea level.

Between the blood-red sea and the pitch-black sky, a third dimension seemed to have been opened up by a nascent light, forcibly dividing the boundary between the sky and the ocean.

Carmen, who had already raised his hand to hold down his hat in the strong wind, had to squint his eyes, but he only had time to squint.

The blooming light expanded in an instant, covering the entire ocean in an instant.

Endless brilliance reflects on the blood-red sea water, and the waves are filled with dreamy phosphorescence, shining brightly.

Most of the crew members subconsciously closed their eyes, but Carmen did not.

His body, strengthened by various Iberian secrets, had already surpassed human beings, and his retinas could barely withstand such light.

He tried to open his eyes wide, ignoring the pain from his eyeballs, and tried his best to look at the place where the light first came from.

then,

he saw,

A bright sun rose above the sea level.

43. Gladia doesn’t want to wear clothes

In the bathroom filled with hot mist and water vapor, a faint fishy smell began to fill the air at some point.
