Extraordinary Sailing

Chapter 623 Retreat and advance

The Viceroyalty of New Cyrus is located in Juarez, the capital of the inland west coast of the Golden Sea.

"General Angelo, for a whole week, this is the answer you gave me?! This is what the invincible Cyrus Empire Army explained to His Majesty the Emperor?!"

Vice-Prince Flavio, who ruled the world's largest colony, New Cyrus, read the statistics from the colonial army's intelligence department from beginning to end. Unable to hold back the fury in his heart any longer, he smashed the exquisite mahogany desk in front of him with a slap.

Boom——!

The burly lieutenant general on the other side of the table did not hide, and let the high-speed flying stubble hit him and his face without moving.

The soldier's sense of honor made him have no face to dodge at all. After all, the battle fought in the past week, even with the help of "School of Damnation" and "School of Fire", was too ugly to fight.

The distance between the east and west coasts in the north of the New World is about 4,400 kilometers. With the largest river in the continent, the Itasca River, as the median line, the entire vast western region is actually occupied by Cyrus.

However, a week ago, the large spiritual tide erupted on the Itasca River, causing heavy losses to the pioneers and soldiers of Cyrus.

The Cyrus people who were the first to open up the New World were not stupid. With limited manpower, they chose the best and richest land on the continent.

But in their eyes, "good" also has a standard.

Under the premise that the New World itself lacks consumption power and markets, these first-step colonists are of course all aiming at plundering wealth. Compared with earning money hard, it is obviously faster to rob directly.

For example, the first targets: the Azik Empire and the Kashna Empire. These two countries are at least in the early stages of the slave society, and the Kashna Empire is also known as the Golden Empire, and gold sacrificial vessels are popular.

At the same time, most of the northern parts of the New World were still primitive tribes hunting.

Therefore, the colonies controlled by Cyrus are either gold and silver producing areas, or subtropical and tropical areas where cash crops can be grown on a large scale, and they are also the most essential part of the entire New World.

Just like the western part occupied by the vice-kingdom of New Cyrus, it is the main enrichment area of ​​mineral resources in the northern part of the New World, which contains a large amount of precious metal minerals such as copper, gold, silver, vanadium, lead, and zinc.

But now, in just one week, two-thirds of the resource points close to the central region have been lost, which is more than the total loss since the "spiritual tide" broke out last year.

The deputy king, who possessed the strength of a great knight and exercised power on behalf of Emperor Philip II, was still angry, and stared at the highest military officer under his command with blue eyes:

"The mother country of Her Majesty Teresa, the mere Frisian region has contributed more wealth to the empire than the entire New World. If this continues, as the security environment in the New World continues to deteriorate, it may not be impossible for the Empire to make a decision to shrink its colonies on a large scale .

At that time, do you and I still want to be in power in this land full of gold? General Angelo, you already have double-digit lovers, right? What to feed them? "

The lieutenant general, whose status in the colony is not low, but who is only humiliated because of his own reasons, obviously does not agree with Vice King Flavio's words:

"Your Excellency, the gold and silver mines are dead, and they will not resist the empire's demands.

But the Kingdom of Frisia started hundreds of years ago, but it was a country where all the people were engaged in business. Although most of them were not engaged in production, they mainly focused on commerce and finance.

But I think their nature is no different from those merchants in Ilya who rebelled against [Royal Power], they are all the same.

In the end, His Majesty the Emperor can rely entirely on our army and navy! And the vast territory we have laid for the empire! "

The world is no longer an isolated country. After the bourgeois rebellion occurred in the Kingdom of Ilia, many eyes were fixed on it, and only Cyrus, which was separated by the sea, could not be an exception.

Even if only the "Fire Sect" and the "Original God" Tirentius of the Holy Lothar Empire are allowed to be believed in, the vigorous religious reforms are killing a lot of people.

However, the high-level empire is still "clearly aware" of the causes and consequences of the Ilya uprising.

The root lies in the new class of "bourgeois".

Before the marriage, Cyrus, who practiced totalitarian rule, didn't even have a handicraft industry, let alone a "bourgeois".

But now the Frisians in the empire are the first to organically unify banks, credit, insurance, and limited liability companies into one financial and commercial system!

They had the first publicly traded joint stock company, the first organized stock exchange, the first technology for manipulating the stock market, the first bank for international settlements, and more.

Including the world's No. 1 Dutch bank group, the place of fortune is Frisia, a lowland country that has not been suitable for farming since ancient times.

Hundreds of years ago, the Frisians also invented the "pipe-shaped ship", because countries levied entry tax according to the area of ​​the top deck of the ship, which can be used to avoid taxes.

There are many, many examples like this. The big factory owners who rose up because of the steam industry are just mere juniors in front of them.

The deputy king didn't want to hear his views on the bourgeois uprising, so he waved his hand:

"Shut up! Our intelligence department has made it very clear after research that the kingdom of Ilia is old because of the guardianship of the kingdom, and the Cyrus Empire will never repeat the same mistakes!"

However, reprimands are reprimands. Under the pressure of survival in today's precarious resource points, it is still necessary for a strong man to sever his wrists.

Flavio then had to reluctantly order:

"Abandoning some precious metal mining areas, we retreated 1,000 kilometers to the west coast."

Then he snorted again with a cold face:

"The New World is our defense zone. Your Excellency General, I think you'd better think of a way to maintain the current defense line."

The general's face was cloudy and uncertain, and he couldn't help but look to the east coast of the mainland in the east, which is also the best place to perform in the spiritual tide.

Upper Hutson Valley.

Thousands of soldiers in Georgia have already set up camp, and the final general offensive will be launched after dawn tomorrow.

The "quasi-legendary battleship Venus" on the wide river is their mobile headquarters.

"Miss Angie, the three wizards, I didn't expect that the support troops sent from the rear would be you, not Billy, cough cough, I mean it's really great.

Ahead is our final battle going upstream along the river. Saratoga Hot Springs, located upstream, is also a place where the third-order totem god is suspected to exist. "

William is introducing the progress of the current battle situation to the unexpectedly strong reinforcements.

Sure enough, as originally expected, in the second half of the journey, the "ghouls" had already fled upon hearing the news, and most of the ones to deal with were "ghosts" and natural spirits that had gradually taken root in this land.

The army marched up the river, advancing all the way to the city of Saratoga.

Here is rich in geothermal resources, with large and small hot springs all over the place, and even winter seems to come later than other places, so it is a treasure land anyway.

She tied her moonlight-like silver hair into a neat high ponytail with a blue headband, and An Qi, who was wearing a white dress, seemed to be glowing all over her body. Hearing this, she smiled lightly:

"This guy, Bess, informed us that a suspected third-order totem haunting was found in Buffalo, and a large number of ghosts have gathered upstream, worrying about your lack of strength.

Just a while ago, the teacher asked us to investigate the terrain along the twelve colonies. We have come here. Three peak wizards of the "Mechanical Immortality School" have taken action, which should be enough to deal with a totem god. "

Another commander, Robert, was not so relaxed:

"We are actually worried about the 'Lady Crow' across the river, and even this guy who is suspected of being a third-tier totem god in the information, is not sure whether he has any relationship with that powerful high-ranking totem god.

If this is a nail deliberately released by the opponent, even if we can expel or even kill him, even greater troubles are still to come, this is something we need to consider in advance."

However, they are planning follow-up strategic plans at the same time.

Long-term confrontation with spirit monsters with almost no wisdom at all made them subconsciously ignore the existence of the perfect third-order totem god who had obtained a human body, but his wisdom far surpassed that of human beings.

It would be really weird if they could just stay at home and wait for them to call their friends to push the tower.

"Is that them?"

In the dense forest by the river bank, the "Bison God" Bei Luo, who was bare-chested and had soaring horns, asked in a low voice while looking at the campfire in the river valley.

"My lord, that's right, they are the ones. These people once destroyed the great plan of the "Lady Crow", a large-scale epidemic that should have swept across the entire continent to provide power for ladies, and it was because of the guys behind them that it ended without a problem.

In the past, the goddess didn't have the energy to pay attention to these bug-like guys, but they dared to run near the Manchak Swamp to show off their power, obviously they didn't take the goddess seriously. "

Behind him, "Fungal Man" and "Insect Man" stood bowed, and "Fungal Man" even attached evidence to the Buffalo God through telepathy.

The two of them also have self-knowledge. They were not the opponents of Ai Wen and his party at the beginning, and they are even less opponents now. Of course, it is safest to kill talents with a knife.

Under the guise of helping the goddess vent her anger, she provoked the powerful "Bison God" to stand up for herself.

However, "Bison God" Bei Luo certainly has his own considerations.

The core power of "Lady Crow" is [Plague], but it has a total of three domains of [Uncleanness], [Plague] and [Death].

When Wu Hao, the original main god of the family, "Death God" fell into silence, and the power of [Death] could not be manifested, the large-scale killing and death close at hand would definitely be conducive to the expansion of the power of "Lady Crow".

Just like a hundred years ago.

The Cyrus, who were the first to land in the New World, brought a variety of infectious diseases that killed a large number of Atrians. Even in the early days of colonization, many indigenous tribes died before seeing the colonists.

It was also that large-scale epidemic that greatly enhanced the power of the 'Lady Crow', she successfully got rid of the shackles of belief, and was promoted to a high-ranking totem god.

Originally, I was only here to gather the "ghosts" who fled here to expand my power, but if I can eliminate these colonists who once offended the ladies, it will definitely be a great thing that kills multiple birds with one stone.

but.

The "Bison God" who had just joined the "Crow Lady" Yeher was eager to present a certificate to stabilize his position. But as a totem god who has lived hundreds of thousands of times, how could he be so easily used as a gunman, recklessly facing an unknown enemy?

He raised the obsidian saw sword in his hand high.

Hum——

The golden fluctuations spread out like water waves, and behind him countless spiritual bodies formed a faint green torrent, which was already pouring down towards the soldiers' camp in the river valley.

Boom!

It is by using the natural personality advantages of the third-order totem god to drive the "ghosts" and "natural spirits" to sweep mines for him.

bell! bell! bell!

In the camp, the alarm bell rang instantly.

"Enemy attack—!"
