Hobert first arrived at a deserted island and established an angel-level "Wall of Spirituality."
Then he entered the "Nation of Disorder" and reinforced the "Wall of Spirituality" again.
In this way, even if Amon's avatar came to sabotage this exploration, or if something extremely terrifying was released from the Bronze Door, the "Wall of Spirituality" could block it for a while.
Immediately afterwards, Hobert took the "0-73" Death Domain out of the "Nation of Disorder", and entered that death domain again. Immediately, the spiritual world creatures' grasping of the spirit body and the resentful spirits' "Language of the Dead" rushed towards him.
Because Hobert held "0-73", the resentful spirits and spiritual world creatures immediately screamed and fled.
Hobert came to the Bronze Door again, which had complex occult symbols on it, a circle larger than the normal "Underworld Gate", and kept emitting a terrifying aura.
He observed it in front of the door for a while, then grabbed a resentful spirit and ordered it to recite the honorific name of the "Creator" using the "Death Domain".
Hobert then exited the death domain and retreated outside the "Wall of Spirituality", protecting himself with a barrier formed by the "Order Crystal".
After this series of operations, Hobert came to the "Nation of Disorder" and, according to the prayer of the resentful spirit, allowed the "Creator" to appear in front of the two huge Bronze Doors.
Hobert first "utilized" the surrounding power of the underworld to try to open the Bronze Door in front of him.
But the Bronze Door only shook slightly, without any sign of opening.
Hobert was about to try the mark that Mr. Azik gave him, which was a mark on the spirit body, and could use the power of that mark even in the form of the "Creator".
But in the next moment, his spirituality sent a strong warning, which meant that if he used that mark, something very dangerous would happen.
Hobert pondered for a while, and since he couldn't use the convenience of the Death pathway, he could only "open the door by force."
He lifted the seal of the uniqueness and put the gorgeous crown on his head.
Hobert's spirit body immediately expanded twice, and the huge pressure it emitted caused the underworld creatures to kneel on one knee to show their submission.
He stretched out his hand towards the Bronze Door and distorted the "closed" state into "open"!
Rumble~
After a loud noise, the power that made the Bronze Door merge suddenly turned into the power that promoted the opening of the door.
The Bronze Door opened a crack, but the power of the surrounding underworld poured into the Bronze Door together. It seemed that a hand from the inside was holding the Bronze Door, and the crack became smaller and smaller.
Hobert immediately "enlarged" the crack, allowing the Bronze Door to instantly open a crack the size of a palm, and more underworld power poured into the Bronze Door like waves.
Sitting on the "Iron Throne", Hobert disconnected the Bronze Door from the "Underworld", preventing the Bronze Door from obtaining the support of the underworld power.
Clang~
Using the moment of disconnecting the "connection", Hobert slammed open the Bronze Door.
Hobert saw that inside the Bronze Door, surrounded by a layer of grayish-white mist, sat a middle-aged man wearing a black robe in the style of the Southern Continent, with typical features of the Southern Continent.
His eyes were closed, his hands were on his legs, and he was wearing a crown full of rust and blood stains on his head, sitting upright on a golden chair with patterns such as phoenixes and feathered snakes carved on the back.
Behind the golden chair was a depressing darkness, which looked like a bottomless pit, and even the "True Vision" could not see what was in the darkness.
Hobert only glanced at the middle-aged man and immediately determined that this was Underworld Emperor Salinger! Because the middle-aged man looked a bit similar to Mr. Azik.
And He is the source of that terrifying power behind the Bronze Door! He symbolizes death, symbolizes the underworld, and all creatures will fear death, which is a fear engraved in genes.
Or rather, this is a corpse with a part of Salinger's symbolisms, which is different from the corpse of the ancient death god, and is more like a "high imitation" product.
Just like Erebus, He has some characteristics of the "Uncertain Mist", but is far from the main body!
After becoming a Death, the qualitative change in the spirit body can, under certain conditions, allow Salinger's spirit body and consciousness to be resurrected in this corpse.
Yes, the moment he saw this corpse, Hobert understood: This is another arrangement for Underworld Emperor's resurrection!
The original owner of this death domain, that "Death Consul", should have been transformed by Underworld Emperor before his death. Salinger placed a seed of resurrection here and waited for the right time to resurrect.
As for what is the right time, Hobert recalled the warning of his spirituality just now. It should be that people with special marks on their spirit bodies open the Bronze Door when the time is ripe, and then some reactions should occur in the underworld, opening the process of Salinger's resurrection.
But Underworld Emperor may not have thought that after his fall, the power of the "Chained God" rose, and the "Rose School" with an King of Angels quickly established the Highland Kingdom.
In a certain battle, this "Death Consul" arranged by Underworld Emperor was killed, forming a Sealed Artifact, which has been held by Kleist, an angel of the "Rose School".
Having figured this out, Hobert looked at the crown on Salinger's head again.
The crown exudes a very sharp temperament, which is incompatible with the feeling given by Salinger and the entire underworld. Hobert's spirituality realizes that it should be the key to Underworld Emperor's resurrection!
So Hobert came to Salinger in the image of the "Creator" and reached out to grab it, but found that the crown seemed to grow on Salinger's head, and it could not be taken off no matter how much "distortion" or "disorder" was used.
However, a close observation immediately made Hobert realize that this is actually a Beyonder characteristic of "Conqueror"!
It turns out that the third Sequence 1 characteristic of the "Red Priest" pathway is here!
Hobert had always thought it was in the hands of the Loen royal family, because He remembered that there was a transaction between the Loen royal family and the Demoness Sect. The Demoness Sect helped George III become a god, and the Loen Kingdom gave them a Beyonder characteristic of "Conqueror".
However, Hobert realized that it is still unknown whether the Demoness Sect eventually obtained the "Conqueror" characteristic!
After the process of George III becoming a god failed, the Demoness Sect, which was defeated by Hobert, seemed to be abandoned by the Loen royal family, and no one knew whether they had obtained the "Conqueror" characteristic.
And a long time ago, the members of the Demoness Sect who negotiated cooperation with the Loen royal family were likely to be fooled by the Loen Kingdom.
Hobert guessed that their negotiation process must have involved the display of the "Conqueror" characteristic. The Demoness Sect members who inspected that characteristic were at most an angel. It is impossible for the Primordial Demoness to come to talk to the Loen royal family in person.
Since it was not the Primordial Demoness "inspecting the goods" in person, with Adam supporting the Loen Kingdom, the people of the Demoness Sect were easily fooled. After all, in Adam's eyes, only a little psychological suggestion was needed to get away with it.
Even if the Primordial Demoness was asked to "inspect the goods" by means of prayer, considering Her state, Hobert also thought of the process of Her descending power before, and it was also very likely to be pitted.
So the Loen royal family did not have the Beyonder characteristic of "Conqueror". It is likely that they used a characteristic of "Weather Warlock" to fool the Demoness Sect.
At present, the whereabouts of the three "Conqueror" characteristics are relatively clear. After the Night Emperor and Underworld Emperor joined forces to defeat the Blood Emperor, they divided the spoils of victory. The Night Emperor obtained two Beyonder characteristics of "Conqueror" and awarded them to the Einhorn family and the Sauron family respectively.
Now it seems that Underworld Emperor has obtained the uniqueness and another Beyonder characteristic of "Conqueror".
After Underworld Emperor fell, the uniqueness was suspected to have been obtained by the God of Knowledge and Wisdom and became a Grade 0 Sealed Artifact of the church.
And a Beyonder characteristic of "Conqueror" has been left behind this Bronze Door and has become an arrangement for Underworld Emperor's resurrection.
Thinking of this, Hobert frowned, a little strange about Underworld Emperor's resurrection method: Could it be that after accommodating the uniqueness of the "Red Priest" pathway, he can swallow the characteristic of "Conqueror"?
Hobert shook his head, temporarily not considering this question, and took this characteristic of "Conqueror" first.
Looking at Salinger, who still had his eyes closed, he couldn't possibly bring this guy's corpse to the "Nation of Disorder"!
Hobert immediately thought of two ways, one was to re-shatter the Beyonder characteristic of "Conqueror", and the other was to shatter Salinger's corpse.
Hobert first tried the first method, using the power of the "Nation of Disorder" to squeeze the Beyonder characteristic, but suddenly found that his squeezing was blocked by some force.
He has always been using the power of the "Nation of Disorder" to shatter Beyonder characteristics, and this is the first time he has felt that he cannot shatter it.
Thinking of Underworld Emperor creating a tributary in the "River of Eternal Darkness" in the past, Hobert suspected that Underworld Emperor should be able to mobilize the power of the "River of Eternal Darkness" to a small extent back then.
He is using the power of the Sefirah to protect this Beyonder characteristic!
That's why it is difficult to be shattered.
If Hobert accommodates the "Nation of Disorder", he can shatter the Beyonder characteristic in front of him, but he has not completed this process yet.
So Hobert began to try to shatter Salinger's corpse, and the method of shattering was very simple. Hobert used the uniqueness to attack the corpse with "entropy increase", causing it to disintegrate from the most basic unit.
But this is not a process that can be completed in a short time. After starting "entropy increase", Hobert realized that he had been wearing the uniqueness for about twenty seconds. Just as he was about to take it off and wait, he found that the head of the corpse was bleeding.
Upon closer inspection, it was not bleeding at all! But the characteristic of "Conqueror" was turning the corpse red, as if blood was left from the top of the head and flowed all the way from the top of the head to the shoulders.
Hobert immediately "tampered" with the direction in which the corpse turned red. Although he had no time to think about why this happened, he knew that he must destroy this process.
Although the process of red spreading stopped, the corpse was changing rapidly. Suddenly, he raised his hand and pushed towards Hobert. A rust-covered blood-red long sword appeared in the corpse's hand and stabbed at Hobert.
Hobert immediately took a step back to avoid it, summoned the "Sun Scepter", and suddenly dazzling sunlight filled this "death domain", and the outer spiritual world creatures and wraiths wailed and avoided it.
But Salinger's corpse was not greatly affected, the long sword became longer, and stabbed at Hobert again.
Hobert "distorted" the direction of the long sword. He noticed that the corpse's eyes had never shown any signs of opening from beginning to end.
In the next moment, He understood why the corpse had such a reaction. This corpse, because it was a "high imitation", did not have the position of the "Death", so in the process of wearing the "Conqueror" characteristic for a long time, this corpse was assimilated.
In other words, what is in front of Hobert is actually a Sealed Artifact with Salinger's appearance, but with a level equivalent to "Conqueror".
Then Salinger's resurrection arrangement can be understood. He plans to use the Uniqueness of his spirit body to control this Sealed Artifact and gradually gain a certain initiative to become a true "Conqueror".
Resurrect in this way, and restore a certain amount of power, and then find an opportunity to re-accommodate the uniqueness of the "Hunter" pathway.
This is obviously an alternative plan, after all, this plan is not as easy as resurrecting from the "Death" pathway.
But at that time, He still had a Beyonder characteristic of "Conqueror" in his hand. If he forcibly swallowed it, he might completely lose his mind. It is better to leave a way out for himself.
With this idea, Hobert was about to "magnify" the power of "Death" on the corpse to suppress the power of the "Conqueror" characteristic, but suddenly found that the chair under the corpse's butt had begun to provide the power of "Death" for the corpse.
Just now, the resurrection process of Underworld Emperor has begun!
Hobert's heart "thumped", is he going to resurrect an emperor of the Fourth Epoch again?
At this moment, His spirituality trembled, and He had been wearing the uniqueness for 30 seconds!
When Hobert prepared to continue to insist on wearing the uniqueness to prevent the resurrection of Underworld Emperor, He was inspired and returned to the "Nation of Disorder".
After taking off the uniqueness and sealing it casually, Hobert came to the "Bell of Order", pushed the clock hammer, and invested this surging power into that "Death Domain".
Boom~
As the dull bell rang, the corpse suddenly sat motionless on the chair.
The reddened part quickly returned to the original color of the corpse.
Boom~
The second bell rang, and the corpse and the seat immediately turned into dust.
Clang~
The crown-shaped "Conqueror" Beyonder characteristic fell on the black ground, making a soft sound.
The corpse had such a reaction because the previous "entropy increase attack" had been going on, and the corpse was constantly disintegrating.
However, due to the influence of the "Conqueror" characteristic and the beginning of Underworld Emperor's resurrection process, the corpse has been kept in a relatively complete state.
When the bell rang, the power of the "Conqueror" characteristic and the resurrection process of Underworld Emperor were temporarily suppressed and interrupted, so the effect of the "entropy increase attack" was displayed.
The corpse immediately turned into dust in units of atoms.
It's just that what Hobert didn't expect was that the chair behind the corpse also turned into dust. However, after thinking about it for a while, He understood that the chair should be an important item for Underworld Emperor's resurrection. It is very likely that it was the key for Underworld Emperor's spirit body to enter the "Sealed Artifact".
So after the chair was shattered, it meant that Underworld Emperor's resurrection was completely interrupted.
Hobert, standing beside the "Bell of Order," breathed a sigh of relief. If he had resurrected the Underworld Emperor again, the four emperors of the Fourth Epoch would probably have given him an award!
Single-handedly resurrecting two emperors, he could be called a "Friend of the Four Emperors"!
After joking with himself, Hobert reached out and first took the "Conqueror" characteristic to the "Nation of Disorder" for a certain degree of sealing.
Then he immediately cleaned up the scene, dispelled the "Wall of Spirituality," retrieved "0-73," and quickly left the deserted island through the spirit world.
Back in Backlund, Hobert re-entered the "Nation of Disorder," carefully sealed the Uniqueness, and then examined the Beyonder characteristic of the "Conqueror."
Hobert first thought about his subordinates in the "Hunter" pathway that he had cultivated. Currently, the highest sequence they had reached was only Sequence 6, so they wouldn't need this Beyonder characteristic for a while.
So in Hobert's hands, for a long time, this would be a Sealed Artifact with the level of Sequence 1, and after being tossed around by the Underworld Emperor, the negative effects were not small. Even Hobert, at the angel level, would be easily assimilated to a certain extent if he used it in the real world for more than a minute, becoming a new carrier for this Beyonder characteristic.
But using it in the "Nation of Disorder" wouldn't have much impact.
He named this characteristic "0-76 Death God's Sword" and then returned to the real world.
He drank a cup of tea to calm his mood, and the corners of Hobert's mouth turned up, revealing a smile.
Picking up a Sequence 1 characteristic for free, who wouldn't be happy!
Then he had time to consider: Did Amon come for this Sequence 1 characteristic? What did he want the Beyonder characteristic of the "Conqueror" for?
After thinking for a moment, Hobert "recalled": Amon was likely going to use this Sequence 1 characteristic to trade with the "Red Angel" Medici.
He "recalled" that after the end of the war, Amon cooperated with Medici to release Mr. Door, and Amon used this to become a god and obtained the Uniqueness of the "Door" pathway and a Sequence 1 characteristic.
And Medici thus obtained a Sequence 1 characteristic and became a "Conqueror" again.
Hobert smiled, unexpectedly Amon's plan was intercepted by him!
But he didn't know if Amon would turn his attention to other "Conquerors"? Or would he continue to find a way to retrieve this Sequence 1 characteristic?
Now Hobert was not afraid of Amon anymore. Even if the other party's main body came, he was confident that he could escape.
Once he advanced to Sequence 1, he wouldn't even need to run.
Thinking of this, Hobert breathed a sigh of relief, he still needed to advance as soon as possible!
...
On New Year's Day, Backlund, which had been shrouded in sadness, also showed a hint of joy.
In a very simple apartment in the Cherwood Borough, a young man with red hair and southern continent blood was lying in an easy chair, watching the people outside the window chatting happily and said: "I don't like Backlund's current atmosphere very much."
At this time, a bloody cut suddenly opened on his cheek, and the wound opened and closed: "This atmosphere won't last long, hehe, if Alexei's head isn't full of sour cheese, Feysac will definitely launch a surprise attack on New Year's Day!"
This young man was Sauron Einhorn Medici, who had regained his humanity and was getting along with each other a little more harmoniously than before.
The first Sauron to speak smiled: "Hehehe, there is no more exciting atmosphere than the shadow of war."
The bloody cut said again: "Why is Medici mute today?"
This evil spirit is currently dominated by Medici's consciousness. Generally, the mouth of this body is used by Medici, but today Medici rarely expresses his opinions.
"Two!" Medici suddenly said: "If our feelings were correct last night, and the third 'Conqueror' characteristic really appeared in some corner of this world, are you still interested in Backlund's atmosphere?"
Einhorn wanted to shrug, but found it difficult to control this body at this time, so he had to give up this plan: "Even so, what can we do? Go to the door and let others completely kill us?"
The person who can get the Sequence 1 characteristic is at least at the angel level.
Sauron said: "It may also be displayed to everyone as a mascot. After all, there is also a 'Red Angel' in our midst, haha, very collectible."
Medici shook his head: "Your two provocations are getting less and less interesting. I can feel the anxiety in your tone.
"What you were looking at just now was not the street scene of Backlund at all, but your own future in the mist."
Sauron laughed twice: "Is 'Red Angel' going to be a poet?"
He did not deny Medici's words just now.
"We come from war, we are war itself, and we only have opportunities in war." Medici ignored the other party's sarcasm and continued: "Next, we should strengthen our observation of the battlefield. I have a hunch that that Beyonder characteristic will soon appear in front of people."
The other two did not speak. Generally, no speaking means that they defaulted and also means that they have a unified view on this matter.
...
At noon, Hobert was dining at Christian's mansion and told his adoptive parents that he would go to Longtail Island to accompany Fors in the evening.
Not only because Fors was still unwilling to come to Backlund, but also because April was also a guest on Longtail Island.
Donna also came back today. Originally, she and Hobert could easily quarrel at the dinner table, which could well liven up the atmosphere of the dinner table.
But Donna, who had been tempered for a year, was much more stable at this time. She talked more with her father about the scenery of the Southern Balam Duchy, and more with Hobert about work matters.
After dinner, Tyron suddenly expressed that he wanted to talk to Hobert alone, so the two went to the garden together.
Hobert smiled and said: "You will also go to school in the Southern Balam Duchy next year. How is it? Are you happy just thinking about it."
Tyron is a student at Backlund University and will move to the southern continent with the school next year.
"It's okay." Tyron said bluntly: "I really want to go to Longtail Island to take a look. Recently, teachers and students have been discussing Longtail Island. Many students have been hoping that I can take them to Longtail Island to take a look."
Hobert was stunned: "Why didn't you tell me before?"
"Afraid… afraid it's inconvenient for you to receive them."
Hobert smiled. Tyron was still so shy and always afraid of disturbing others.
He waved his hand: "Your travel expenses, meals, etc. to Longtail Island are all on me. You can take whoever you want!
"In this way, you take the students who want to go to Longtail Island to the Duke's Mansion to find Butler Corris and let him arrange it for you."
Tyron smiled shyly: "Okay."
Then he seemed to muster up the courage to say: "Brother, there is one more thing, that, that do you still remember Mr. Benson?"
Hobert nodded: "Remember."
He said meaningfully: "Melissa's eldest brother!"
Tyron blushed a little. He cleared his throat: "Melissa will continue her studies in the Southern Balam Duchy next year, but Mr. Benson has to stay in Backlund due to work reasons, this… this will be very inconvenient…"
Hobert immediately understood what Tyron meant. He asked with a smile: "Did Melissa ask you to talk to me about this? Or is it your own idea?"
Tyron bit his lip, feeling like his brother already knew something.
He cleared his throat again before saying: "I have this idea myself."
Tyron suddenly found that he didn't seem nervous anymore: "I believe that under your and sister's and sister-in-law's governance, Longtail Island must be as prosperous and peaceful as the rumors say.
"Although Backlund looks very prosperous, I also feel the coldness of this big city.
"So I hope to live on Longtail Island in the future. That, that, it would be best if Mr. Benson could also live on Longtail Island."
Hobert slowly nodded. Although Tyron was not good at expressing himself, he was an introverted young man with a more keen eye for problems than Donna.
He considered it and then said: "Speaking of which, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is still short of a negotiation expert."
Hobert had been in contact with Benson, and this gentleman with a slightly high hairline had a high talent for negotiation.
He said: "Leave this matter to me! Mr. Benson is likely to report to the Southern Balam Duchy before Melissa."
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Hobert came to Longtail Island and chatted with his mother April and Fors.
The New Year's atmosphere here was stronger. Longtail Island was not affected by the war, and the people here seemed to have been reborn this year, suddenly living a life of food and clothing without worry, adults had stable jobs, and children could study for free.
Many people spontaneously worshiped Hobert this afternoon, because they heard the local natives say that Duke Hobert was the god of this island.
At about five o'clock, Hobert and the three of them had dinner together in a pleasant atmosphere.
Just as they finished their main course and were drinking tea and chatting, Hobert suddenly heard a prayer from the "Nation of Disorder."
It was a strange voice: "The Creator in the Shadow of Order… the great 'Creator', I am ordered to report to you that the Feysac Empire's fleet suddenly went south and miraculously crossed Sonia Island in a short period of time, appearing on the southern coast of the Northern Continent. It is expected to arrive at Pris Harbor at about eight o'clock."
This was the emergency contact method that Hobert had discussed with Georgina and the others. He took out his pocket watch and looked at it. It was already about seven ten.
"I have an urgent task." Hobert said apologetically: "I have to go out."
April sighed: "There is no way to rest well during the New Year."
"It's my duty." What Hobert said was the duty that the "Creator" had assigned to him, not the duty that he was going to fight for Loen.
Fors followed and asked: "Is it dangerous?"
"Not dangerous," Hobert smiled: "Just go to support."
Fors nodded: "Come back early."
Hobert said "Um" and disappeared into the restaurant.
Dozens of seconds later, Hobert appeared in the near-sea fleet command of Pritz Harbor and was immediately taken to the conference room by the staff.
The conference room was already full of people, and the commander-in-chief was pointing at the sea chart and deploying the combat plan.
When Hobert entered the door, everyone looked at him together, greeted him with their eyes and nods, and the commanders continued to listen to the commander's combat plan.
After listening for a while, Hobert discovered that Loen also had a considerable near-sea defense fleet.
Among the countries of the Northern Continent, the naval power of the Loen Kingdom was the strongest, so strong that it could fight two other countries at the same time.
Now the main force of the fleet was in the Rorsted Archipelago, preventing the Intis fleet from cutting off Loen's sea supply line.
Loen also had a main fleet that had been fighting the main force of the Feysac Empire fleet in the eastern sea area.
However, because the Feysac Empire royal family used the war to add another angel, the strength of the two sides was unbalanced, and as a result, Loen's second main fleet was severely damaged in the previous Enmat Harbor naval battle.
The Loen royal family then sent a visiting delegation to the Southern Balam Duchy for help.
Currently, the remaining forces of the second main fleet have been gathered in Pris Harbor recently.
Before the third angel appeared in the Loen royal family, the Feysac Empire fleet would definitely attack Pris Harbor. This was almost the consensus of the Loen high-level officials!
In this naval battle, the commander's combat plan was to block the enemy ships with the "horizontal line" tactic.
The "horizontal line" tactic is generally a common tactic used by the defending side of the sea surface forces, because the firepower on the flanks is stronger than the firepower on the bow. If the defending side's warships take the initiative to attack, they will meet the enemy ships and suddenly sail across the enemy's face when they reach the tactical position, using the superior firepower on the flanks to sink some of the warships in front of the enemy fleet.
And staggered shooting is when two fleets sailing in different directions use the entire ship's artillery to fire at each other in unison or scatter.
After briefly explaining the tactics, the commander said again: "Next, please speak, Duke Hobert."
Everyone was about to applaud, but Hobert had already raised his hand, signaling everyone to seize the time.
He first asked the commander: "How many demigods do we have?"
The commander, wearing a navy uniform of divine color, said: "4."
Hobert asked again: "The enemy has 8, right?"
"At least that many."
Hobert nodded and asked again: "The number of our warships is half that of the opponent, right?"
The commander was slightly stunned before saying: "Yes."
"Um." Hobert said immediately: "Everyone, I don't understand naval battles very well, but from the current point of view, I have to take action at the beginning to have a chance to defend this port.
"Your warships will be faster, your cannons will be able to shoot farther, the power will be greater, and they will all hit.
"So, do your best to fire more shells."
The officers were all stunned, then looked at each other and said in unison: "Yes!"
The officers who came here to attend the meeting were all captains of the fleet flagship. They knew that the royal family had invited an angel from the Southern Balam Duchy.
It was just that they did not expect that this angel was Duke Hobert.
The brief meeting ended. Because the warships had already left the port at this time, two of the officers used sealed items with "travel" abilities to send these captains back to their warships in batches.
Hobert also "distorted" his position and disappeared into the conference room.
He first appeared in the sky above Pris Harbor. The sea breeze blowing in his face made his single coat rustle. The port at his feet was brightly lit. In the alarm sound, the workers on the dock shouted loudly, unloading the goods on the ship as soon as possible. The cargo ships that had not had time to unload were busy leaving the port to avoid being blocked inside by enemy ships.
Some larger cargo ships were ordered to block the front of the harbor. If the naval battle was lost, these large cargo ships would be detonated and sunk at the entrance to prevent enemy warships from entering the port.
In the nearby sea, there was a patch of light, which was the main force of the Loen's Second Fleet.
Farther away, there was a cluster of faint lights, which was the Feysac fleet attacking the port.
Although warships were equipped with steam engines, their speed was generally around fourteen or fifteen knots. After the enemy appeared in sight, there was enough time to hold a meeting to discuss tactics before calmly engaging them.
Hobert stepped forward as if taking a leisurely stroll, arriving above the Loen fleet.
With a wave of his hand, He "magnified" the speed of all the warships.
At this time, Cartel, the commander of the Loen side, was in the captain's cabin of the flagship "Royal Oak", using a telescope to observe the cluster of lights in the distance.
Suddenly, Cartel, holding the telescope, felt a slight inertia. He was slightly stunned, put down the telescope, and found that everyone had stopped their work, looking at each other with some surprise.
"Commander! Captain!" the helmsman reported: "The warship suddenly accelerated, and our speed has reached 18 knots."
Cartel realized that this should be the acceleration promised by Duke Hobert: "Normal."
"It has accelerated to 20 knots!" the helmsman added.
Cartel still calmly said: "A god is helping us, allowing us to reach unprecedented speeds!
"Order all ships to prepare for engagement in advance!"
"Yes!" After receiving the order, the crew immediately used signal lamps to transmit the order.
"22 knots!" the helmsman continued to report.
Cartel gestured, indicating that the helmsman didn't need to report anymore. He expected the fleet to be much faster than normal. With such strong maneuverability, he could consider changing the tactics and encircling the enemy fleet.
After the naval commander issued a series of orders, he realized that they were very close to the enemy ships.
Because there were no reference points at night, he quickly asked the helmsman: "What is the current speed?"
The helmsman swallowed: "46 knots!"
This speed had long exceeded the maximum speed of the speedometer. 46 knots was a speed calculated by the helmsman based on the visual distance between the enemy and ourselves, and the distance to the port.
"What..." Cartel felt a little scalp tingling: "Why didn't you say so earlier?"
He had also used sealed artifacts to accelerate in naval battles, but adding to twenty-four or five knots was already the limit. After all, warships were behemoths, and even with Beyonder abilities, acceleration was not so easy.
Then Cartel took a deep breath and said in his heart: This is the angel of the 'Lawyer' pathway! Speed and weight are like toys in His hands.
The helmsman smiled bitterly: "It's, it's because you just..."
Cartel didn't have time to waste words with the helmsman, and immediately ordered: "Left rudder! Rapid-fire at the enemy ships in sequence!"
At this time, the Feysac fleet also realized that there was a problem with their speed. All the warships seemed to have some malfunction, with only half their usual speed.
In contrast, the warships of the Loen Kingdom were more like speedboats, moving at an astonishing speed, and every shell could accurately hit the warships of the Feysac Empire. The three leading warships were immediately sunk.
The Feysac fleet's counterattack seemed even more ridiculous, with shells only flying a dozen meters before falling into the sea.
Several demigods took action, but to no avail. At this time, the Loen fleet began to cross paths with the Feysac fleet, and the Loen ships began to fire salvos in sequence, and as before, every shell could accurately hit the Feysac warships.
Egor, the commander-in-chief of the Feysac fleet, realized that the Loen fleet had the help of an angel, so he immediately prayed to Awatoma, requesting the help of this commander of the Sonia Sea battlefield.
At this time, Hobert in mid-air saw that the attack efficiency of the Loen warships was too low. The Feysac fleet had high defense with the help of the demigods, and it took a long time to sink only eight or nine warships.
For the Loen fleet, this was already a considerable victory, but for Hobert, it was too slow. So He reached out and pressed down on the Feysac fleet.
More than two hundred Feysac warships slowed down again, and their draft suddenly deepened by dozens of centimeters!
At this time, Hobert's spirituality felt something. He looked in the direction of the port. A cold, bone-chilling hurricane was blowing towards the port, and everything it passed was covered with a layer of ice. Obviously, the angel of the Feysac Empire had also taken action.
Hobert thought for a moment and did not go to rescue, but continued to attack the Feysac fleet.
He was "tampering" with the buoyancy of the fleet's sea area. As the buoyancy decreased, the draft of the warships deepened, and seawater began to pour in from the portholes on one side.
In Hobert's view, even if the port was frozen, it could be thawed in a few days, and the port would be able to resume operation.
But if the main force of the Feysac fleet was sunk, they would not be able to sneak attack the port again in a short time.
So Hobert estimated that the enemy's angel would eventually choose to rescue their fleet, so that He could gain a preemptive advantage in the subsequent angel war.
At this time, the Feysac fleet screamed again and again, and the boilers of several warships were extinguished by the seawater poured in, and they completely lost power.
At the same time, the hurricane flying towards the port suddenly disappeared, and a layer of mist suddenly appeared on the sea, instantly engulfing the Loen fleet.
In the mist, huge and hard hailstones fell from the sky, smashing towards the warships like shells, and even the steel decks could be smashed through.
Hobert waved his hand and "distorted" the direction of the hailstones, so that they all fell into the sea, and only a small part hit the warships.
He smiled slightly: "Got you!"
Saying this, Hobert made a downward chopping gesture and "distorted" the sea water. The sea surface suddenly split open like a cut cake, separating to the left and right, exposing Awatoma, who was hiding on the seabed with a small mustache.
Even Hobert did not expect that the "Weather Warlock", who was good at manipulating flames, was hiding in the sea.
He was about to take the corresponding sealed artifact from the "Nation of Disorder" to attack the opponent, when he suddenly saw Awatoma pursing her lips and smiling. Immediately, Hobert's spirituality suddenly sent a dangerous warning!
In this instant, Hobert realized that he was too late to dodge, so he immediately used the power of the "Nation of Disorder" to form a piece of armor behind him.
The armor at the back of his heart had just formed, when it was pierced by a sword with rust and blood. The power of the "Nation of Disorder" immediately dissipated.
Hobert immediately entered the spirit world. The only one who could make the angel Awatoma a bait was the first emperor of the Feysac Empire, Alexei!
