"Woo~~~~"

Amid the low sound of the motor running, the Sturgeon arrived at the East Golden Cape where Levender was.

According to the rough nautical chart, the East Golden Cape is a large triangle that is tilted upward, which makes the western coastline of the cape generally trend about 20 degrees north-east.

Because of this, walking along the northern coastline of the Witt Continent is equivalent to making a big circle around the Golden Ocean.

When you reach the tip of the cape, it is only about 1,800 kilometers away from the White Sturgeon Island, much smaller than Kao's more than 3,000 kilometers.

The Flying Fish Islands are located just north of the tip of the cape, about 150 kilometers from the mainland.

Laertris's mother and the banshee tribe she leads live in the sea where the archipelago is located.

“Although it is called an archipelago, it is actually a large area of ​​densely distributed islands and reefs. The largest island is less than 500 meters in diameter.”

"But this sea is very rich, richer than the Triangle Sea, and it is also very wide, probably more than 500 kilometers in radius. By the time I left, the number of sisters living here exceeded 20,000."

Standing at the bow, Laertris looked at the islands and reefs in the distance and quietly introduced the situation of the Flying Fish Islands.

Rosen listened carefully and asked curiously, "What's your mother's name?"

"Neferoniya, when I left, she had the magical power of the middle stage of the seventh ring, but that was more than four hundred years ago."

"It is said that there has been some progress since then, but I am not sure how much progress has been made. After all, we live far away from each other and rarely interact with each other."

After a pause, Laertris showed a look of reverence on her face.

"My mother is the most powerful woman I have ever seen. She is the true queen of the banshee clan, with strong magical powers and extraordinary spells. She is much stronger than me."

As soon as the voice fell, someone on the boat suddenly pointed to the sea not far away and shouted: "Lord, look, there seems to be something in the water."

Everyone turned around and saw a white object in the water.

Immediately a wizard cast the Eagle Eye spell.

Now everyone could see clearly that it was actually a mutilated corpse.

A banshee warrior flew over to take a closer look and screamed in fright.

She immediately flew back: "It's my sister's body!"

Everyone was shocked.

Rosen immediately ordered: "Pull the man out and take a look!"

A few minutes later, with a "plop", the body was pulled onto the deck.

Rosen moved closer for a closer inspection.

The body was swollen but not yet decomposed, and the time of death was no more than two days.

The dark blue hair indicates her identity as a deep-sea banshee.

The limbs were basically intact, but there was a severe bloody hole in the chest and abdomen, which even pierced the body.

"Swords and knives can't inflict such injuries, and spells are unlikely to do so either. It's more like being hit head-on by a powerful fire weapon."

In other words, it was fired from a musket.

But why would someone go to a place like the Flying Fish Islands and use a new weapon like a musket to attack the banshees? They couldn't figure it out, but the terrifying power of the weapon made everyone look gloomy.

Laertris cast a pure water divination spell on the banshee's corpse.

Ten seconds later, a light blue aura emerged from the corpse and extended along the sea surface into the distance.

"Divination told me that this sister's body floated over from the front."

After saying this, Laertris poured pure water power into the banshee's body and pushed it back into the sea.

The corpse gradually dissipated and decomposed, and finally disappeared into the sea.

After doing all this, Rosen gave orders to the warrior at the helm without her saying a word.

"Follow the scent and chase after it."

Laertris also began to point out the safe route to travel in the Flying Fish Islands.

The Sturgeon sped along between the islands and reefs.

After moving forward for about half an hour, more and more things appeared on the sea.

There is a dead body.

There were humans, banshees, and murlocs, all of them were fresh corpses that had died only a few days ago.

Most of the corpses of the banshees were wounded by fire guns, while the murlocs were killed by various group spells. The corpses of the humans either drowned or fell to their death.

The human corpse was wearing standard leather armor. But strangely, although the leather armor was very fine, there was no identification mark, as if the identity was deliberately concealed.

In addition, there are many broken wooden boards, sealed wine barrels, and various floating daily necessities.

Finally, everyone saw a stranded ironclad warship over 70 meters long next to a hard island reef.

Judging from its size, this thing's displacement is at least over a thousand tons.

From afar, one could see that there was a big hole in the bottom of the warship, and the entire ship was lying at an angle on the island reef.

You can also see a large number of corpses above and around the shipwreck, with the most being murlocs, followed by humans, and then banshees.

"There was an extremely fierce battle here!"

Laertris stood at the bow and began to cast the Pure Water Divination once again.

As the spell took shape, a large blue light appeared in the air in front of her, with faint images appearing in the light and occasional shrill screams.

Rosen was also observing carefully.

Based on the war readiness information of various countries recorded in the database, he said: "This is a mid-level golden battleship, fully loaded with about 450 soldiers."

"From the damage, it doesn't look like it was destroyed by the fishmen, but it just happened to hit a reef by misfortune."

"The body is only slightly decomposed and the damage is very recent. Various details indicate that the battle should have broken out at noon yesterday."

Soon after, he discovered the biggest reason why the battleship ran aground.

"The battleship's mast was broken. It was forcibly broken by a huge force."

"From the fracture marks, it seems that a strong wind suddenly blew up from the sea, which not only broke the mast, but also caused the warship to deviate violently and finally hit the reef."

Following Rosen's conclusion, a similar picture appeared in Laertris's divination.

In a pure blue light, a blurry figure suddenly spread his wings and flapped them violently. The blurry light and shadow of the warship shook violently, as if it was suddenly pushed by a deep-sea Titan and moved sideways dozens of meters away.

Laertris shouted, "That's my mother! She fought in person!"

On the other hand, Rosen also obtained more detailed information from the magical aura left at the scene, and this information surprised him secretly.

"The remaining mana of the eighth ring strength and the powerful wind spell. This Banshee Queen named Neferoniya is incredibly powerful!"

This is an ironclad warship weighing more than a thousand tons, and its fully loaded weight is estimated to be around fifteen or sixteen hundred tons. It can actually be blown off course by the wind, and even the thick mast can be forcibly broken!

The absolute power of this eight-ring gale spell is so strong.

If it appeared in ancient times, it would be the absolute ruler of the ocean, suppressing the human race on land so that they dared not go out to sea.

The terrifying power of this spell made all the spells mastered by Rosen, the ten-ring wizard, seem dull.

"The source of power should not be the magic power itself, but the strong winds that already exist on the sea. And what the Banshee Queen did was to use her magic power to gather the power of the strong winds together."

'But even so, the difficulty of casting the spell is astonishing. It requires an extraordinary grasp of the power of the gale to be able to pull out such a strong wind.'

"Lily said that her mother was the true Banshee King. Now it seems that this is an understatement. Should she be called the Banshee God?"

Anyone who can do what ordinary people cannot do is naturally a god.

Laertris also noticed it, and she immediately walked to the side of the boat and cast a silent scream spell towards the sea.

"Hiss, hiss, hiss~~~"

"Crash~~"

Suddenly, more than a dozen blue-haired banshees rushed out of the sea, began to circle in the sky, and kept screaming towards the Sturgeon.

There was anger and confusion in his voice.

Laertris stood at the bow, opened her arms and transformed them into azure wings. She flapped them violently and rushed into the sky to meet up with the banshee.

After the two sides communicated in the sky for a while, the other banshee approached hesitantly, and then landed on the deck of the Sturgeon hesitantly.

Rosen looked over and found that this group of banshees was somewhat different from those in the Triangle Sea.

They did not expose their bodies completely, but wore simple clothes made of broad-leaved seaweed to cover their private parts as much as possible.

One of the banshees with pearly blue feathers followed behind Laltris and walked towards Rosen cautiously.

Rosen sensed the other party's hidden hostility, so he slowed down his expression and tried to appear as gentle as possible.

"Lily, what happened?"

Laertris's face was filled with anxiety: "My sisters told me that a group of evil warriors kidnapped my mother!"

Rosen was also surprised: "When did it happen? Where did he go?"

The pearly blue-feathered banshee immediately said, "Just yesterday, your majesty led us to fight against the human race's ironclad ships."

"There were three ships in total. They were very powerful. The sisters were no match for them at all."

"Her Majesty tried her best to summon a strong wind to blow the ironclad ships off course, sinking one of them. However, she herself was also hit by many spells cast by the human wizards and was knocked unconscious."

"After those evil humans took your majesty away, they immediately turned around and left, even disregarding the lives of their companions."

Laertris's face was filled with anxiety, and she immediately said, "I'll sense mother's location!"

As she spoke, she began to release the Pure Water Divination Technique.

About three minutes later, she raised her hand and pointed in a direction: "Over there, right over there, my mother is still alive, but her breath is very weak, and her condition is very bad!"

In this case, Rosen immediately waved his hand and said, "Turn around and chase after him at full speed!"

Seeing this, the Banshee Lord of the Flying Fish Islands immediately said, "There is a very scary place on the coast over there, in the direction the princess pointed out."

"Many sisters were locked up there after being captured. They tortured the sisters crazily. We could hear the sisters' screams even from more than ten kilometers away."

"Those humans are extremely powerful, extremely evil, and extremely cruel. They are simply demons on earth!"

Rosen understood that it was most likely a magic laboratory that Levender had built specifically to study banshees!

But why study the banshees? Rosen is not sure yet, maybe he is curious about the power of the banshees.

Because he had done something similar before, studying the banshee's body and trying to find the azure blessing that would give her a strong body.

Of course, because he possessed a sensitivity to magic that was unmatched by ordinary mages, he did it very gently. At most, he would let the banshee bleed a little, or borrow Lai Fu's precise control and use his magic power to explore the banshee's internal body.

But if there is no such sensitivity in magic, no assistance from Lai Fu, and the banshee's right to life is completely ignored, all kinds of inhumane living experiments will be carried out.

This is not uncommon at all.

Not to mention other worlds, even on Earth, such things have been happening all the time, and are still common in modern times.

On the deck, Laltris was so anxious that she was about to cry.

"My mother is a very gentle person. She would never resist so fiercely unless she was forced into a desperate situation!"

"Why do these Levenders treat the sisters so cruelly?!"

Selling her as a slave would have been fine, but torturing her with all kinds of torture was really too cruel. When Laertris thought about her mother suffering such a fate, she almost went crazy.

Rosen had nothing to say but to hold her in his arms and comfort her softly.

The Sturgeon reached its maximum speed, cutting through the waves all the way.

After running for about three hours, we saw a line of coastline in the distance.

The little banshee lord who had followed along quickly introduced the situation.

"There is a hidden bay ahead. There are several large ships and thousands of human warriors parked in the bay."

"They themselves are not very powerful, but they carry very terrifying fire instruments that emit violent roars and are extremely powerful. If you are hit by them, you will die."

"By the way, there are also very scary fire weapons on the coast, which are more powerful than the weapons in the hands of the warriors. If you are even touched by them, you will die. If you are hit, you will be turned into meat paste!"

The banshee lord's tone was filled with deep fear.

Obviously, that's the artillery!

Aaron got out the cannon, and Levender and Kao quickly followed.

Not only were the soldiers equipped with individual muskets, they were also deployed on the coast as coastal defense weapons.

There are no cannons on the Sturgeon. If it is hit, the hull will be fine, but if the power components are hit, it will be troublesome.

He immediately ordered: "Slow down~~~Don't rush to get close!"

Then he came to the bow, took out a glass telescope and observed the black line in the sky from afar.

This distance is actually very far, and it cannot be seen clearly even with a telescope.

But Rosen has Lai Fu to assist in analyzing vision, which can provide a lot of additional information.

However, due to the curvature of the planet, only the top of the cliffs high on the coast can be seen here, and the bay below and the ships in the bay cannot be seen at all.

It can also be imagined that unless the other party sets up an observation post on the top of the cliff, they will not be able to see us.

Will the other party set up an observation post on the top of the cliff?

Of course, any commander knows the importance of intelligence.

The good news was that they were far enough away, the Sturgeon wasn't very big, and its color was dark blue.

Even if the other party set up an observation post on the top of the cliff, there is a high probability that they will not be able to see me clearly.

But I certainly can't move forward.

How do we get there? Rosen thought for a moment and said, "Since there is a powerful army stationed in the bay, a direct confrontation is definitely not an option. We have to sneak through the seabed."

"Lily, let's just go by two people, so as to avoid the opponent's pure water mage discovering what's happening in the sea."

Laertris nodded immediately.

"You guys retreat further, stay hidden, and meet us in the sea. Once we rescue the people, get on the boat immediately and leave at full speed!"

"Yes, lord."

Everyone obeyed the order in unison.

As he spoke, Rosen jumped directly into the sea. After reaching the deep sea, he used his magic power and revealed the form of an iron mermaid.

Laertris followed immediately and stayed beside Rosen.

Then, Rosen had an idea and activated the six-ring pure water barrier "Breathless Crystal Wall", wrapping both of their bodies inside.

"Go ahead, sneak over slowly."
