Chapter 994: Age of Plunder
Ever since his consciousness sprouted under the magnetic sea, King Cobalt Magnetism knew that he must have a mission. Although there was no reason for it, he just took it for granted.
It drifts alone on the choppy dark grey sea.
This situation continued for many years.
This repetitive process changed until King Cobalt discovered a glowing floating island.
The light from the island shot straight into the sky, and the magnetic field it formed was like a giant sac. The magnetic force twisted and looped around the island, with only a small part exposed above the sea, and most of it was deep under the sea.
The Cobalt Magnet King swam all the way to that strange place and observed carefully.
The bottom of the island extends all the way to the deep bottom of the Magnetic Sea.
Even the Cobalt Magnet King cannot go too deep, because the deeper the magnetic sea, the more violent the magnetic force, which will not only disrupt and destroy the magnetic field, but also tear the magnet into pieces.
King Cobalt Magnet couldn't understand how the floating island remained stable under the extremely dangerous sea.
This island of light must have some mysterious power.
It landed on the island.
King Cobalt Magnetism discovered a newborn magnet life on the island. But the other party was very different from himself, because it looked weak and stupid, shaped like a gray-black sphere formed by a lot of gravel, and the only thing it could do was roll on the island.
But after the Cobalt Magnet King came to the island, magnetic life began to follow it closely and move closer to its magnetic field.
This is its first soldier.
King Cobalt stayed on the island.
As time passed, new soldiers were born on Magnetism Island. King Cobalt Magnetism gathered these soldiers and asked them to patrol the area, marking it as his territory.
After it had 18 soldiers, the first civilian appeared.
King Cobalt Magnetism discovered it from under the Magnetic Light Island.
It looks like an ordinary piece of magnet, but it makes some mysterious shakes or sways meaninglessly from side to side, which is different from other magnetic fragments that move with the magnetic field.
So the Cobalt Magnetic King studied it and separated the magnetic man trapped inside.
It looked so small, shaped like a Y-shaped branch, that even ordinary soldiers looked like giants in front of it.
Unlike the soldiers, the Magnets are more fragile, but also exceptionally active.
It would pick up some slightly larger magnet blocks available on the beach, combine these blocks and squeeze them into a ball. The magnet man would fill the gaps with gravel, and then continue to impact, so that these small fragments would condense into a stable and solid large block, and then insert it into the island.
It feels like playing, but also like some kind of instinct.
Civilians never tire of playing this game of catch and combine.
King Cobalt Magnetism realized that if there were enough operations like this, the Magnetic Island would expand little by little, and then it would have more soil for the birth of soldiers and more civilians.
As long as the island is big enough, storms and tsunamis will have a hard time shaking it! Cobalt Magnet King began to look for traces of civilians everywhere.
Most of them are hidden deep within the island, like locked boxes, and their nature and abilities must be liberated only by opening the external restraints.
So King Cobalt Magnetism spent a lot of time and patience to rescue the civilians from the magnetic cages and let them participate in the construction and expansion of the island territory.
During this period, it also encountered many dangers and challenges.
The formation of magnetic sea storms is irregular, and they are usually very close to the territory when they are discovered. The Cobalt Magnet King will let the soldiers take the civilians to hide on the spot, relying on the soldiers' magnetic force to pull the fragile civilians and try to fix them to the ground of the island.
However, some civilians may still be blown away by the storm or be killed or injured.
King Cobalt Magnetism tried many methods, such as building a large number of windbreaks and caves, but they had little effect.
Because magnetic sea storms are composed of two parts.
The first part is the pulling force of the magnetic field, and the second part is the strong magnetic storm. When the two are combined, the magnetic storm will make the magnet immobile and extremely weak, and the pull of the magnetic field may sweep it away.
The only real countermeasure is to improve the magnets of soldiers and civilians so that they can withstand the storm, but this is more difficult than building fortifications.
It takes a long time for magnets to grow.
The Cobalt Magnet King can only turn on his own magnetic field to maintain the safety of civilians.
This is a constant drain on it.
Then came the tsunami.
The source of the tsunami in the magnetic sea is the force transmitted from the chaos on the seabed to the sea surface. This force will set off huge magnetic turbulence. When the turbulence gathers on the sea surface, it will form a shock wave that rushes to the surroundings.
The propagation of the shock wave will roll out a high wall of waves, and the impact will also generate high temperatures, which is a disaster for most magnets.
Their magnetic force will be eliminated and weakened under high temperatures. In mild cases, they will lose the ability to move for a period of time and their magnetic field will be disordered. In severe cases, they will fall into a long-term coma or even die from severe damage to their magnetic field.
Besides these natural disasters, there are other challenges for Magneto.
They were eyeing the Magnetic Island covetously. Several Magneto Kings had led their soldiers to launch attacks, but were all repelled by the Cobalt Magneto King.
Cobalt Magnet King also realized that he was born stronger than most Magnet Kings. Those Magnet Kings were born later than him, so the natural growth of magnets was inherently weaker.
I am the strongest king! With this mentality, King Cobalt Magnetism began to strictly require every aspect of the territory, and he must maintain the island in the way of the strongest.
This indeed brought it a powerful atmosphere. Civilians treated it with respect, soldiers were on high alert, and outsiders dared not approach or offend it.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, as the rise of pirates dealt a huge blow to King Cobalt.
Magnetic sailboats wander on the sea. Some civilians working in the sea will be sucked away by their magnetic field, and some magnetic raw materials will also be taken away by pirate ships.
They were very fast, and as soon as King Cobalt and his soldiers started chasing them, they ran away.
The territory was constantly harassed by passing sailboats.
Not only Cobalt Magnet King, but all Magnet King's territories have fallen into a similar dilemma. If they chased them, the empty rear would be more vulnerable to attack, but just defending in place would be very passive.
These were difficult times.
I don't remember which day it started, but the Cobalt Magnet King suddenly discovered that the nearby Magnet Kings had become extremely powerful. Although they had few soldiers, each one was mighty and strong, with extremely high magnetic strength.
It was challenged and attacked by the Magneto Kings. This time, Cobalt Magneto King was defeated in succession and had to withdraw its manpower and abandon the newly built islands on the periphery. Later, even the Magneto Light Island was captured by the invaders, and it had to flee with a few civilians and soldiers.
Everything happened so fast.
At this time, Cobalt Magnet King realized that the Magnet Kings had found a new way to become stronger. They ate civilians wantonly, turning them into their own magnetic power, and also trained soldiers to do so.
They first devoured all the civilians under their command, then launched an attack, plundering the territories and civilians of other magnetic kings around them, continuing to fight to support the war, and constantly devouring, the army became stronger and stronger. The latecomers could no longer keep up with the magnetic strength of the forerunners, so they had to retreat again and again, hiding in those desolate seas to start over.
However, when these wandering Magnetos have established their territories again, the powerful Magnetos who have been secretly eyeing them will start plundering them again and turn them into their own sustainable granaries.
There is almost no room for the weak to rise.
The peaceful classical era came to an end, and the ruthless era of plunder began.
Although the Cobalt Magnet King tried his best to resist and encouraged civilians to join the war, he was still unable to stop the defeat and had to flee and wander all the way.
When it encountered a Yao satellite, its fate of exile took an unexpected turn.
King Cobalt Magnet respects the strong.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
It usually faces it with a competitive challenge mentality.
But the subordinates of God Yao were too strong...so King Cobalt Magnetic didn't have any psychological burden. Just like facing a storm and a tsunami, he accepted his slave status.
The common people are to Magneto as I am to the god Yao.
…
Using the disaster area as a springboard to return to the magnetic sea, King Cobalt Magnetic couldn't help but feel that things had changed.
The Magnetic Sea, which is a disaster and curse to the common people of Magnetism, is considered a precious treasure by the mysterious God Yao.
He needs a lot of magnets.
After receiving his order, King Cobalt Magnetism took the last four soldiers and transformed themselves into a magnetic field sailboat, collecting higher-quality magnets in the magnetic sea.
This operation does not require much technical skills, just filter and absorb, the magnetic sea is full of them. On the contrary, returning to the disaster area and accumulating enough gears to leave through the method taught by the Yao tribe takes the most time.
While collecting magnets, King Cobalt Magnetism noticed refugees struggling in the magnetic sea.
These are the civilians who have fled from Magneto's rule. It's easy to understand why they fled, they didn't want to be eaten.
Once the war begins, they will become food to strengthen the soldiers.
After the plundering era began, the number of refugees increased dramatically. As long as there was a chance, they would desperately flee. If they could find a ship, they would go with the ship even if only part of their bodies were left.
Two refugees along the way swam all the way towards the Cobalt Magnetic King's mining fleet.
“Help! Help!”
King Cobalt Magnetism asked the satellite in the sky: "Lord Eugene, can we take these refugees to Lord Yaoshen? Lord Yaoshen also needs magnets. They are also magnetic life forms. I think they should also meet the requirements of the mission."
"Of course, please."
After obtaining permission, it led the other four ships to immediately rescue the refugees.
According to the previous plan, King Cobalt and the soldiers remained silent throughout the process.
The refugees who boarded the ship were very curious about the ship and touched and looked at it here and there.
"Is this the magnetic sailboat? I'm so lucky. If I hadn't encountered it, I might have died in the next storm."
"But don't sailboats usually act alone? There are five of them here, they look very powerful!"
"I finally escaped from the butcher knife of Magneto. It was a close call."
The people who survived the disaster were very excited and talked about their experiences.
One of the magnets said, "No, this magnetic field is not right. I was on a magnetic sailboat before, but was swept into the magnetic sea by a tsunami. Our ship is not like this. The magnetic field of this ship is too strong, even as strong as that of Magneto... We didn't see the captain at all. If there is no captain, why are these ships sailing so orderly and still attracting magnets? It's very strange and not right."
"Now that you mention it, it is true. There is a strange ball above the ship. I don't know what it is, but it has been following us. Could it be that this ship..."
King Cobalt Magnetism was shocked.
It's over, it's about to be exposed! It racked its brains, thinking of a way to transform itself and show that it was not imitating the magnetic sailboat, but had an important mission.
As a king, face and dignity in front of the common people are the most important!
The magnet who had been to the sailboat said, "I know! This is another form of the magnetic sailboat evolved from! How could Magneto turn into a sailboat? They are man-eating monsters. The sailboat is the one who helps us. Magneto can never help us."
"really."
"That black ball in the sky should be the key to controlling these ships. Its magnetic field is so curved that it's hard to tell its strength."
King Cobalt Magnetic heaved a sigh of relief, but at the same time he felt a little inexplicably melancholy.
Once upon a time, the civilians who supported Magneto now regard him as a monster.
Those pirate ships that truly looked like monsters became their saviors and hope in their eyes.
At this moment, it suddenly sensed a strong magnetic field reaction nearby.
On the sea surface in the reaction area, a group of Magnetrons connected to each other and formed a square formation of iron chains, quickly surrounding this side. The leader was an old-fashioned Magneto who was much stronger than himself - Sm. Magneto.
Samarium Magnet was originally a powerful and ancient Magnet. It quickly caught up with the plundering era and plundered a lot after its transformation. It can be said that it has entered a different fork with Cobalt Magnet.
The refugees on the boat had begun to tremble and become afraid.
King Cobalt Magnet was about to launch a charge to break out.
Eugene's voice echoed in the magnetic field.
"Mr. Cobalt Magnet King, I will take care of them. Please continue with your work and don't worry."
