Infancy is undoubtedly the most vulnerable, troublesome and care-intensive period of human life.
Even if this baby has the thinking and consciousness of an adult, many things are completely out of control.
Even though Asta had made sufficient preparations in advance, he was still forced to change his diaper during the two or three hour long statement.
After Zuo Si finished telling everything, he asked grimly, "So... it was you who destroyed this world? You killed almost everyone in the Mage Council and civilians through the magic plague?"
“No, dear mentor, it’s not me, it’s us.
Don't forget, it was you who brought me into this world.
And it’s not my fault.
Because when I first arrived, the chaotic matter and mana from the dark void had not yet affected my body, especially not causing the viruses and bacteria in my body to mutate.
What's more, you discovered the mana and substances remaining on the clothes and conducted a lot of experiments in secret without telling me.
After all, as the chief wizard of the necromancy, you are not as ignorant as other wizards about the plague, but you have a deep research and understanding of it.
Especially for a creature like me who came from an unknown world, no isolation measures were taken from beginning to end.
In order to quickly fulfill his desire to gain eternal life, he even used every possible means to force me to learn all kinds of profound and complex magical knowledge as quickly as possible, and finally opened the portal to the continent of Faerun.
So it was us who destroyed this world and the magical civilization that the mages created based on the floating city."
Zuo Si corrected meaningfully.
Although he himself is the source of the entire magic plague, the real culprit should be Asta in front of him.
If the Great Necromancer had not concealed the most important information, with his knowledge of microorganisms, he would have most likely noticed the changes taking place in his body and avoided the outbreak of this disaster.
"Haha, you're right, we destroyed this world."
Asta, very rarely, did not defend himself, but instead let out a creepy laugh.
Similarly, he also realized that this "model" apprentice who had once obeyed his orders was now standing in a higher position and looking down on him.
The identities and status of the two parties can now be said to be completely reversed.
As a calm, rational and realistic person, Asta knew very well that it was meaningless to argue verbally at this time.
After all, he is just a baby who has difficulty in casting even the lowest level spells, but the other party has already controlled the floating city of Plantia and also possesses a vast amount of knowledge and magical power from other worlds.
Apart from anything else, just this conch shell ship hidden deep underground in the floating city, as well as the main brain in the pond behind him and the terrifying psychic powers it possesses, can easily kill him, and even distort his memory, cognition and personality.
Arguing with someone who is stronger than you and who holds power over your life and death is the most foolish thing to do, no doubt about it.
This principle was what Asta taught Zuo Si, who had not yet completed his ideological transformation, so he would not make the same mistake.
In other words, he was very clear about what he had done to the young man in front of him, and he had no doubt that the other party would take this opportunity to retaliate or even kill him.
You should know that killing a master is not a shameful act that can be exposed in the floating city world ruled by the Mage Council.
Just the opposite!
The tolerance, wisdom and strength it represents will not be despised, but encouraged and appreciated.
Because in the eyes of the mages, the act of killing the master itself means that the apprentice has surpassed his mentor, and symbolizes the "beautiful" wish that each generation is stronger than the previous one.
As for the so-called worldly morals, laws and order, they never take them seriously, let alone the need to abide by them.
Some crazy wizards would even combine their own daughters to give birth to another daughter, just to prove that their genes and bloodline are better.
Seeing that his former mentor had clearly realized his situation, Zuo Si immediately smiled with satisfaction: "Very good!
I have always believed that reaching a consensus is a good start, just like when I chose to obey your threats instead of continuing to struggle and resist in vain.
There is never any equality in relationships between people.
Even if there are only two people left in the world, one of them must obey the leadership of the other.
This is determined by the social nature of human existence.
In the past, you were stronger and smarter, with wisdom and power far beyond mine, so I obeyed you.
But now, I think things have changed a little bit.
Shouldn't you also take the initiative to express your attitude? "
As these words came out of his mouth, Asta's pupils suddenly dilated, contracted, and then dilated again.
Although he had anticipated this, he never expected Zuo Si to be so straightforward.
After a long silence, the great necromancer slowly raised the baby's disproportionately large head and asked in an uncertain tone: "You want me to work for you?"
"That's right! The Mage Council created a total of eight floating cities.
I have only captured and held two of them so far.
Also the floating cities of Plantia and Mutahar under our feet.
The whereabouts of another six are still unknown.
Moreover, as the great wizards in the floating city are resurrected one after another by negative energy and transformed into high-level undead spellcasters with intelligence, they will inevitably want to break the protective barrier of the central tower and truly control all the power of the floating city.
I need someone who knows all the peculiarities of the floating city.
Whether it's to find it out or to gain an advantage in future encounters."
Zuo Si did not try to hide anything and stated his intentions openly.
Although he could use a simpler and more brutal method, he could directly let the main brain Isadora forcibly read Asta's memory and then turn him into an obedient puppet.
But doing so would completely stifle the talent and creativity of the Great Undead Mage, which would be a loss.
"So what can I get from this?" Asta probed cautiously.
Zuo Si replied with a half-smile: “Endless magical knowledge and techniques, as well as the complete lich transformation ritual you have always desired.
Of course, the price is that after the transformation is completed, the life box must be handed over to me for safekeeping.
How about this, isn’t this a good condition?”
"make a deal!"
Asta agreed without any hesitation.
After all, these conditions are much better than previously expected, and I even feel a sense of relief.
He totally didn't understand why Zuo Si didn't choose to torture and retaliate against himself given his personality.
In fact, the replica of the Necromancer's memory was not clear. Zuo Si secretly concealed a truth in his long narration just now.
That is, he killed the real Asta with his own hands, rather than the other party's accidental death due to failure in the lich transformation ritual.
Of course, the copy of Asta in front of him will never know this little secret.
His future will be the same as other liches in the organization. He will be immersed in the ocean of countless knowledge and technology and unable to extricate himself, and slowly become a tool for Zuo Si to realize various plans and ambitions.
After reaching an agreement, Zuo Si used time magic to help Asta get rid of his weak and helpless baby state, allowing him to grow into a teenager in just a few seconds.
In the next few months to a year, all he had to do was to recover his strength and then transform into a lich with the help of Vanessa and Tyrantil.
Before handing over the life box, he will be in a state of complete isolation from the world, unable to leave the surveillance of the main brain, nor can he enter the great library to access the knowledge and technology.
There is no doubt that the mysterious time magic aroused Asta's irrepressible interest, and he immediately put all his energy into quickly recovering his strength without saying a word.
After he was taken to another room next door by the Mind Flayer, the main brain Isadora asked through the mental connection: "Are you sure this guy is trustworthy? I can sense through his thoughts that the reason he chooses to obey you now is because of the situation.
Once he gets the chance, he will betray you without hesitation, or even stab you in the back."
“There has never been absolute loyalty in this world, let alone eternal enemies. Everything is constantly changing driven by ambition, desire, ideals and interests.
When you can give someone what he wants, he will be willing to work for you.
But on the other hand, when you can't give someone what he wants, but your enemy can, then there is a very high probability that he will betray you.
I never expect anyone to be loyal to me forever, let alone a guy like Asta who only lives for himself.
But as long as I can continue to provide Asta with the magical knowledge and techniques he has always dreamed of, while at the same time keeping his life firmly in my hands, do you think he still has any reason to betray me?
The answer is obviously no.
You just said that Asta would betray you if he had the chance, so wouldn't it be better not to give him that chance?"
When saying this, Zuo Si's tone was full of strong confidence.
Because high-level wizards who have transformed into liches, such as Vanessa, Jeffrey, Taelantir, and Habaser, have now proved with their actual actions and attitudes that they highly recognize and are loyal to the organization, especially to him as the leader.
Zuo Si never even used the life box to threaten anyone to obey him absolutely.
All of this was easily earned simply through subtle influence and opening up a vast library of magical knowledge.
Every lich feels honored to join, serve and be effective for the organization.
In other words, personal ambitions, desires, ideals and interests will never become an obstacle to the growth and development of a force.
And if used properly, it can become a catalyst for acceleration.
What Zuo Si needs to do is to understand and keep track of what these people want, and then give them a stage to display their strengths.
"What about me? What do I look like in your eyes?" Mastermind Isadora asked with a slightly curious tone.
"You are my most important companion, ally, and family member, and one of the few people I can trust completely. I will even take a spark when the time is right so that you can become a planeswalker like me."
Zuo Si gave the answer without hesitation.
"Become a planeswalker? Me!"
Mastermind Isadora was visibly taken aback.
Zuo Si nodded slightly, "Yes. If I want to kill Nicol Bolas in the War of the Spark, my strength alone is far from enough.
Even if we add ancient planeswalkers such as the Lithomancer Nahiri, Sorin Markov, and the Spirit Dragon Ugin, as well as outstanding representatives of the new generation of planeswalkers such as Jace, Liliana, Chandra, Nissa, and Gideon Jura, we can only barely improve our chances of winning.
What's more, I have never been on the same page with them.
You never know when you might become enemies because of some actions.
Since I can make an ally like Shane VII a planeswalker, why can't you and the other three Isadoras?
The only problem at the moment is that the mental states of the other three of you are clearly not very stable.
Only you, who have inherited a rational personality, can perfectly harness the power of the spark and become my most capable and trusted helper."
As these words came out of her mouth, the main brain Isadora instantly fell into a violent emotional fluctuation.
A full minute passed before she used her psychic powers to create an illusion of herself as a human. Her eyes were flickering with emotion and deep attachment. She gently stroked Zuo Si's cheek with her non-existent illusory hands, then stood on tiptoe and kissed him.
Since psychic power directly affects the brain and even the soul, it can simulate vision, hearing, smell, touch and taste that are no different from the real world.
Zuo Si could even clearly feel the softness of the other person's lips and the faint fragrance emanating from his body.
After a long while, the two slowly separated.
"Thank you, thank you for thinking of me so seriously. I swear, I will never let you down, nor will I disappoint you."
Mastermind Isadora assured with words full of affection.
At this moment, she felt that all the sacrifices she had made before were worth it.
“I look forward to that day.”
After saying that, Zuo Si turned around and left the Snail Shell Ship, going straight to a floating island outside the main body of the floating city.
This is the headquarters of the weapons design and development department, and also a platform for assembling some large devices.
At this moment, in an open space, four large airships with a length of more than 350 meters and a dozen small airships of about 50 meters are being built with the intensive cooperation of constructs and corpse creatures.
Of course, some players who have relevant work experience in factories or assembly workshops have also joined in with great interest, taking charge of some areas that require professional skills.
Judging from the appearance, one third of it is almost completed, and it only needs enchantment and restart before it can be put into use.
When the person in charge, Boll, saw Zuo Si, he immediately stopped what he was doing and rushed over to report, "Sir, according to your request, we have begun to build an airship force that combines transportation and bombing.
In a few days, all these big guys will be put into use.
Although the relatively dangerous hydrogen is still in use, news has come from the physics and chemistry departments that there have been new discoveries and technological breakthroughs.
It is estimated that a cheap way to obtain helium will be invented in a few weeks at most.
At that time, just by replacing hydrogen with helium, the last defect of airship as a means of transportation can be made up.
In addition to airships, I also found time to design several propeller aircraft that were powered by electricity.
After all, the cylindrical crystals you created can store a large amount of electrical energy, directly and fundamentally solving the biggest problem of energy supply.
Coupled with the use of various magic, electric aircraft not only become a possibility, but also have much greater potential for future development than airships.
Especially the first ring of [Feather Fall Technique], which allows the machine to fly easily with only a small thrust, and easily complete high-speed maneuvers and turns that originally required complex structures.
For this purpose, I specially changed the appearance of the aircraft, making it larger and rounder, so that it can carry more people or cargo. The speed is also more than twice that of the airship, and can easily reach 1,100 kilometers per hour.
And in the future we can also try to combine magical powers to design an electric jet engine that can reach speeds of more than Mach 3.
As for weapons, I have been trying to miniaturize the electromagnetic gun, and at the same time let the chemical department research a magic bomb that is smaller in size and more powerful in explosive power.
After the two are combined, whether as an air combat weapon or as an aerial gunboat to support the ground, the efficiency is definitely far better than that of an airship.
The most important thing is that it is not as big as an airship, and it is more maneuverable in the air. It will not become a sitting duck once attacked like an airship."
After glancing at the drawings and reports provided by the chief weapons designer of the floating city, Paul, Zuo Si immediately asked without even looking up, "Compared to airships, how much more expensive is an airplane?"
"Well - the money for building a large airship can be used to build about three large transport bombers. Although the carrying capacity of the latter cannot be compared with the former."
Boll quickly gave a relatively accurate answer.
After a little thought, Zuo Si quickly approved the plan.
As a modern man, he naturally could not be unaware of the respective disadvantages and advantages of airplanes and airships.
The latter can stay in the air for a long time without wasting too much energy, and is obviously more suitable as a means of transportation or an aerial platform; the former is small in size, fast in speed, and flexible, and is more suitable for performing emergency tasks or being deployed in dangerous battlefields.
The reason why airplanes replaced airships on Earth, in addition to their own huge defects, is the world-renowned "Hindenburg" air crash.
This air crash caused many ordinary people and wealthy people to fear and distrust airships as a means of transportation, so much so that many airships under construction were immediately stopped, and many research and development in related fields lost financial support and had to be disbanded.
By the time people realized some of the advantages of airships, airplanes had already been developed for more than 80 years, and the technological accumulation was simply beyond the reach of airships.
Coupled with people's pursuit of efficiency and speed in modern society, it ultimately led to the unshakable dominant position of airplanes.
But as a planeswalker, Zuo Si obviously does not need to consider the feelings of the people.
As he has almost unlimited resources, he does not have to worry about how to allocate limited resources most reasonably like many people do.
As the saying goes, only children make choices, but adults of course want them all.
Whether it is an airship or an airplane, Zuo Si will continue to invest resources in technological research and development, iteration and upgrading without hesitation.
After cracking the creations of the Solan civilization, perhaps we will also add something unscientific but very magical, such as the "ornithopter".
"Hey, hey! I knew you would continue to support our department."
Boll seemed very happy that the plan was approved, and his face showed undisguised excitement and anticipation.
Having once worked for a government department, he could never have imagined that an aircraft research and development project that could cost tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of dollars could be approved in just a few seconds after being submitted.
In the eyes of this young weapons expert, the floating city of Plantia led by Zuo Si is a truly scientific, efficient, clean and nearly perfect regime.
Only here will professionals like himself be respected enough and managed by a group of equally professional senior talents, without any corruption from top to bottom.
There is no need to pay attention to those shameless politicians who will do anything to win votes, and a group of ignorant people who may not be able to solve the simplest linear equation, and even think that the earth is flat, who are criticizing the latest scientific research results in certain fields.
让专业的人来做专业的事！ 这才是包括波尔在内许多行业精英理想中的社会状态。
而这种社会状态，绝对不可能通过地球上主流价值观宣扬的那套狗屁“民主”和“自由”来实现。
恰恰相反！
它需要一个没有政治内耗的高度集权政府，也就是很多人眼中的强人政治和独裁政权才能实现。
“好好干，希望有一天我能看到你们制造出可以在广袤宇宙乃至不同时空穿梭的超级飞船。”左思面带微笑的鼓励道。
听到这句话，波尔立马两眼放光，用不是很确定的语气问：“世界上真的存在这样的造物吗？”
左思不加思索的点了点头：“当然！据我所知，有位叫做克撒的上古旅法师，就曾经亲手打造了一艘叫做晴空号的飞船。它不仅可以在不同的时空任意穿梭，同时还具有近乎无限的能量，可以经受得住时间的洗礼，是真正科技与魔法相结合的终极造物。”
“该死！要是能让我看上一眼该有多好！”
波尔忍不住低声咒骂了一句。
要知道在另外一个秘密基地内，对龙形引擎、组构体和魔力重炮等东西进行逆向工程获得的初步技术，已经让他有一种大开眼界的感觉，并且对像索兰、非瑞克西亚这种结合了魔法与科技的超级文明充满敬意。
现在一听说还有晴空号飞船这样不可思议的造物，潜意识中立刻爆发出强烈的求知欲望。
不过很可惜，晴空号极有可能在克撒与约格莫夫最终之战的时候已经毁掉了。
同被毁掉的还有蕴含着未知力量的远古遗产，以及鼎鼎大名的“强能石”和“弱能石”。
在接下来的几个小时内，左思分别走访了浮空城内正在紧张忙碌的各个部门，并与负责人进行深入交流、批复了一些计划和研究项目，然后才返回位于阿斯卡特拉的法师塔。
但他并没有在此地停留太久，仅仅是去地下瞅了一眼才刚刚建立起来，数量只有大概五百人左右的地精怖狼军团，紧跟着便又马不停蹄的传送到南方卡林港的皇宫。
与上来的时候有些冷清相比，这里不管是卫兵的数量还是仆人的数量都明显增加了不少。
其中在大清洗中被彻底摧毁的贵族、盗贼公会和富商阶级，已经被由学者和施法者构成的文官体系所取代。
正如预料中的一样，由于卡林港拥有整个费伦大陆都数一数二的庞大受教育人群，因此根本不像其他地方那样，离开贵族和商人连基本的统治都无法维持。
夏恩七世直接把皇宫的外围改造成了大臣与官僚们的办公地点，因此经常能看到有人进进出出，甚至是使用传送魔法突然凭空出现、消失。
而随着文官系统高速运作的，还有士气高昂正在四面出击的军队。
其中沿着光耀之海一路向东重要据点曼沙卡，还有卡林杉最重要的造船业中心和聚集着大量法师术士的魔法研究中心——阿瑞文，现在都已经回归了帝国的统治。
尤其是后者，为了完成对其彻底的镇压和清理，身为皇帝的夏恩七世不惜亲自出马。
在一场惨烈的战斗中，他以近乎碾压的姿态杀掉了三十多名实力不俗的法师和术士，同时把跟卡林港一样猖獗的盗贼公会连根拔起，顺手又杀光了不愿意废除奴隶制度试图反抗的贵族、富商和奴隶主。
搞定这一切之后，剩下的便是按照左思给出的那套解决方案。
先拿出一部分抄家获得的财富和女人来奖励军队，其余则交给苦难之神、正义之神和忠诚于勇气之神的教会。
由于他们来负责给奴隶分发土地、安排工作，使其快速转化为拥有财产、可以为国家上缴赋税自由民。
尽管在外人眼中，这三位代表守序、正义和善良的神明与一个复辟古老帝国的邪恶半巫妖合作，实在是有些让人大跌眼镜。
但那数以百万计的奴隶获得解放，还是产生了非常积极的影响。
更何况这次奴隶解放可不是晨曦之主洛山达那种冲动之下不计后果的冒失行为，而是有完整计划、会为其提供妥善安置的真正善举。
甚至不少圣武士和善良阵营的势力不远千里从非常遥远的地方赶过来，只为提供一些自己力所能及的帮助。
有了这些人的存在，夏恩七世甚至都不需要花费太多兵力去维持占领区域内的治安。
还没等那些想要趁火打劫的怪物或是邪恶势力来得及跳出来搞事情，就会迅速被经验丰富的冒险者发现、拆穿，然后遭到迅猛有力的打击。
现在，只要从陆地上翻越阿拉米尔山脉，或是从海上发起进攻占领扼守通往蒸汽湖咽喉要道的卡林杉第二大城市——苏尔多佛尔，那么整个东南方向的其他城镇就会放弃抵抗望风而降。
不过这显然并不是一件容易得事情。
因为与卡林杉其他城市不同，苏尔多佛尔在很早以前就彻底脱离了卡林港的统治，并且在长达数百年的时间里都处于半独立状态。
虽然它名义上仍旧属于这个国家的一部分，可无论是法律法规还是行政系统都自成一派。
除了每年需要支付一笔税金之外，压根不理会卡林港发出的任何命令。
苏尔多佛尔的统治集团甚至还在极力拉拢图蒙、耶斯派克两座城市，跟海峡对面边境王国的几座城镇勾勾搭搭，俨然一副想要独立建立一个新国家的架势。
一旦这个计划成功，那么他们就能控制从光耀之海进入蒸汽湖的唯一海上交通要道，向所有经过此地的商船征收高昂过路费。
当左思走进皇宫的大殿，刚好看到夏恩七世和他任命的宰相肖德·塔罗文，还有几名将军正围在一块沙盘前，似乎正在讨论进攻苏尔多佛尔的计划。
夏恩七世注意到了他的到来，立刻挥手示意其他人退下，然后随口问了一句：“你今天怎么有空跑到我这里来了？”
左思笑着回应道：“我来告诉你一个好消息，火花我已经搞定了，眼下正被用于维持一道跨时空传送门。”
瞬间！
这位强大半巫妖的眼睛迸射出了骇人的光芒，马上用急不可耐的语气追问道：“我什么时候可以得到它？”
“当然是依照约定，等您完成心中的执念做好准备永远离开这个世界的时候。除此之外，别忘了还有交出命匣。”左思意味深长的提醒道。
“如果你想要命匣，我现在就可以给你。但统一卡林杉和泰瑟尔显然需要时间。我或许可以轻易的击败那些不知死活，胆敢窃取夏恩帝国土地的混蛋，但却没办法一下子就建立起有效的统治。”
夏恩七世皱起眉头第一次露出了不耐烦的神情。
因为此时此刻，对于成为旅法师的渴望已经远远超过了他想要复辟夏恩帝国的执念。
甚至开始觉得这件费时费力的事情是一个负担，而不是令自己感到愉悦的享受。
“没必要那么着急，您有充足的时间。而且我也会源源不断猎杀更多旅法师，夺取他们身上的火花。到时候您或许可以从中挑选一个更加适合自己的。”左思不动声色的安慰道。
“你说的这些我都明白。但问题是，这并不能削减我对于得到火花的渴望。算了，反正也就是稍微花点时间而已，我已经开始着手加速推进统一整个卡林杉的军事行动。”
夏恩七世这会儿明显已经冷静下来，重新回到属于自己的宝座上。
“加速？”
左思敏锐的抓住了一个关键词。
夏恩七世轻轻点了下头：“是的。虽然我现在不太方便大量使用和召唤亡灵生物组建军队，但是却并不意味着不可以使用死灵系魔法或是相应的魔法物品。
介于那些不愿意乖乖放下武器臣服的城邦士兵素质都不算太高，我决定打造一件可以大范围施加恐惧影响的东西。
到时候只要在战场上通过这件物品对敌人军队中的士兵使用，他们自然而然就会四散奔逃失去战斗意志。
而我的军队只需要冲过去将其杀死或俘虏，就能轻而易举攻占城市。
如此一来，也许几个月左右就能提前完成复兴夏恩帝国的计划。”
“原来如此！”
左思瞬间明白了半巫妖的想法。
要知道【惊恐术】虽然是个微不足道的一环魔法，可却能够对职业等级在LV5和LV5以下的人产生影响，使其丧失战斗意志狼狈逃窜六秒到二十四秒。
虽然听起来瞬间很短暂，可对于需要列阵迎战的军队而言却是十分致命的。
如果是大范围施展，短短几秒钟整个军队的指挥系统就会彻底乱套并失去约束能力。
当看到敌人打过来的时候，第一反应绝对是掉头就跑。
Even if an officer regained consciousness and tried to organize the personnel, he would be dispersed by the soldiers who were still under the influence of [Panic].
What's more, the defensive armies formed by most cities in the continent of Faerun do not even have professional levels, they have simply received some corresponding training.
As for fighting power and fighting will...
It can’t be said to be very bad, at least it is still very powerful when dealing with annoying little monsters like goblins and kobolds.
But if they were replaced by an equal number of orcs, gnolls, hobgoblins, bugbears, ogres, and trolls, there is a high probability that they would be defeated or even annihilated in a field battle.
Therefore, a magical item that can release the effect of terror on a large scale can definitely cause quite amazing effects on the battlefield.
However, although Terror is a first-level spell, if you want it to affect hundreds or even thousands of people at once, its enchantment level must not be low, and it must be a legendary magic item at the very least.
It is estimated that the value of the materials alone would be hundreds of thousands of gold coins, and a large number of high-level spells would be required.
The most important thing is that this thing is only effective against targets at LV5 and below. As long as the level reaches LV6, they will be completely immune.
This means that apart from "bullying weaklings", he is completely useless in a battle between opponents of the same level and is a complete waste.
If it were Zuo Si, he would rather go out and use legendary spells to directly kill an army, and would never consider making such a thing.
But Sean VII, the emperor of the empire, obviously did not think so. Instead, he began to explain his ideas about this magic item, and at the same time did not forget to invite Zuo Si to come in.
With the joint efforts of the two, this "national treasure" was officially produced in just three days.
It is made into the shape of a horn. As long as someone blows it hard, it will immediately inflict fear [terror] on all creatures within a few kilometers ahead that hear it. And it can be blown once every six seconds on average, making it a magical anti-military weapon.
If the other party is unable to mobilize an elite army with all professional levels reaching LV6, then you can simply raise the white flag and surrender.
Finally, the horn was handed over to a general with LV10 fighter level and LV5 weapon master level.
Just one day later, he led a fleet from Calimport and headed straight for Suldofor.
Since the latter itself had an extremely developed shipbuilding industry, it immediately sent out a larger fleet to meet the enemy after receiving the intelligence.
The two sides finally met in the shallow sea area north of Sasot Island and launched a decisive battle.
But the process was completely different from what many people imagined, where the two sides were evenly matched, but rather one-sided.
Suldofor's proud fleet didn't even last ten minutes before it began to collapse completely.
No! It shouldn't be called a rout! It's a complete collapse!
As the fatal horn sounded over the sea, the sailors and soldiers on the deck of the Suldorfer fleet began to go crazy. They ran out of the cabins frantically as if they had seen something horrifying, and jumped into the rough sea one after another.
No matter how the captains and officers of higher professional ranks tried to stop them, it was useless.
Some wizards and priests on board realized that this was the effect of magic, and immediately tried to dispel it with magic and divine arts such as dispel magic and calm the mind.
But unfortunately, the number of spells they cast every day is a drop in the bucket compared to the horn that can affect thousands of people at once.
After a while, all his energy was used up, and he could only watch in despair as wave after wave of his own people jumped into the sea like dumplings, completely irrational.
By the time the Shane Empire's fleet rushed over, there were only a few people left on their own ship.
As a result, after a brief resistance, they were quickly occupied and captured.
Some of the smarter ones even raised the white flag and announced their surrender early.
Just like that, a great naval battle that attracted the attention of all forces in the Sea of Glory and the Steam Lake ended in a nearly child's play manner.
Shane VII's fleet easily defeated Suldofor's proud fleet with almost no losses of its own.
Not only is there no loss!
His generals also more than doubled the size of their own army by capturing a large number of enemy ships.
As for the ordinary soldiers who jumped into the sea out of fear, they were quickly rescued by the imperial generals and temporarily held as prisoners at the bottom of the cabin.
After the capture of Suldofor, most of them will be disbanded, reorganized, and eventually absorbed into the army of the Shane Empire.
Zuo Si witnessed the entire "tragic" battle, and could not help but sigh while holding his forehead: "It really is a weapon for bullying weaklings.
A total of twenty large warships, forty medium-sized ships and more than a hundred small ships, plus thousands of skilled sailors and soldiers, this is almost all of Suldorfer's water force and more than 80% of the army.
In addition, it is impossible for the other party to learn about the destruction of the fleet in such a short period of time...
If General Taylor had just used his brain a little, stuffed his soldiers onto the ship that originally belonged to Suldorfer, disguised it as a victory and launched a surprise attack, the capture of Suldorfer would be a sure thing.
It seems that the unification of the Calishite region has entered the final countdown.
After the south is pacified, King Shane VII can march north to capture Mannon, and then he can start to deal with Tethyr, which is in civil strife.
However, Wang Quan claimed that this thing was really useful. Such a large-scale military conquest did not attract any interference from external forces. "
(End of this chapter)
