In the northern continent, the war in the Snason region of the Kingdom of Fennepot reached its most intense stage.
Naval battles have also begun near Cruz Island in the eastern part of the Raging Sea!
The Fenneport Navy dispatched its main fleet to attack the island teeming with pirates and natives, while the armed forces on Cruz Island consisted of the town's guard formed by the mayor.
Those on the other side of Lighthouse Hill were mostly "extraordinary puppets".
The security team is still maintaining order on the island, since there are so many pirates on the island now, and they might take advantage of the chaos to loot.
The Fenneport Navy deployed over a hundred warships this time, with its main battleships being sailing battleships over a hundred meters long, as well as second-class battleships, cruisers, and supply ships, creating a vast and imposing fleet of sails.
However, the Fenneport Navy did not want to fight this war because even though they had so many warships, they only had three Lingbo cannons, which were still imitations.
After noticing the approaching enemy warships, the Lingbo Cannon on the mountaintop of Cruz Island removed its camouflage, forming two large artillery positions.
If you want to land in Port Town or Plain Town, you will have to endure several waves of artillery fire.
Otherwise, if they were to land from the other two directions, they would have to enter the deep mountains and jungles first, and the Marines would be unlikely to be a match for Remburg's "extraordinary soldiers".
Fortunately, the two demigods in the navy were not conscripted to the battlefield on the northern continent. The naval admiral hoped to withstand the bombardment of the "Spirit Wave Cannon" and then land at Port Town and Plain Town.
Once a large number of extraordinary individuals from the navy land, the "extraordinary soldiers" on the front lines will be relatively easier to deal with.
The "Lingbo Cannon" on Cruz Island began firing, but instead of targeting the enemy warships, it fired into the waters surrounding the fleet.
Boom! Boom!
The explosion at sea first caught the attention of the pirates on the island, who saw a massive explosion on the surface of the sea, followed by a huge column of water! Then came the astonishing sound of the explosion.
The massive wave created by the explosion instantly capsized two enemy ships.
This gave the pirates a concrete understanding of the power of the "Lingbo Cannon," deterring those who wanted to take advantage of the chaos to steal something.
I immediately retracted the idea.
The current military commander on Cruz Island is Boatswain Salina, who has now been promoted to "Wind-Clad" and has come up with a plan to use the waves to attack enemy ships.
Because there were demigods in the fleet, the "Lingbo Cannon" shells had no chance of hitting the enemy fleet.
This tactic was very effective. Huge waves crashed against the Feneport Navy's fleet, which stretched for several nautical miles. The two demigods of the Feneport Navy were somewhat overwhelmed, and two ships capsized after the first wave arrived.
Seeing that this method worked, Salina immediately launched a second round of shelling.
A "Law Mage" from the enemy fleet decided to launch a preemptive attack, arriving from the spirit world at the artillery position on Cruz Island.
Once the "Lingbo Cannon" is destroyed, the rest will be easy.
But just as he destroyed a "spirit wave cannon," a thick bolt of lightning struck him. The "law mage" quickly dodged and soon found the attacker.
That's the "Iceberg General" Edwina, with her delicate oval face and scholarly demeanor!
The "Law Master" was initially surprised. When did Edwina become a demigod?
He then immediately signaled to another demigod in the fleet, asking him to come to their aid.
Edwina's presence here is not surprising, given her close collaboration with the former "Mysterious Admiral".
The "Law Master" planned to hold off Edwina himself, while another demigod in the fleet destroyed all the "Spirit Wave Cannons" here!
Just as another demigod, "The Fallen Earl," used his ability to "distort" distance to reach the artillery position, a pure yet thick beam of "purifying light" descended, blocking "The Fallen Earl."
"The Ascetic" Snowman appeared at the artillery position, having already been promoted to Sequence Four "The One Without Darkness".
The trait used for the ascension was obtained by Odis during his second entry into the "Ruins of the War of the Gods," and Snowman himself knew about the ritual, so he was the third "man in the book" to be universally ascended to demigod status.
Odis left him on the island because he "prophesied" that the enemy would send two demigods, which Edwina alone could not handle.
Crus Island is currently Odis's largest base at sea, where he has accumulated a great deal of wealth and established effective rule.
The key is that this is crucial for future expansion of power at sea. It is an extremely important island that cannot be compromised. Therefore, even though the demigods in the Snason region are also under strain, Snowman was still left behind.
At this moment, the third round of bombardment began. Unfortunately, Salina was unaware that the two enemy demigods had already landed. Otherwise, she would have ordered the cannons to be fired at the enemy fleet. The "middle-sequence" extraordinary beings in the fleet had no way to withstand the attack of dozens of "spirit wave cannons".
However, without the protection of the demigod, the shockwave and huge waves generated by the exaggerated explosion of dozens of "spirit wave cannon" shells capsized nine warships, including one sailing battleship!
On Cruz Island, all that could be seen were violent explosions around the fleet, but the fleet itself seemed to be experiencing a massive hurricane followed by a tsunami with walls of water over twenty meters high.
The key point is that this "hurricane" and "tsunami" both occurred on a small scale, and there was no way to avoid them.
The two naval demigods at the artillery position also realized this, so after their plan failed, they immediately began to take turns covering the retreat.
They need to leave quickly, otherwise the navy will suffer even greater losses.
Back in the fleet, the "Law Master," who is now the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, sighed as he looked at Cruz Island not far away.
The advent of the "Lingbo Cannon" completely changed the way warfare was conducted. Without the "Lingbo Cannon" with its abnormally long range, the entire fleet's firepower would have had an overwhelming advantage over Crus Island, allowing them to bombard the island relentlessly before calmly landing on it.
But now, those cannons have become mere decorations.
The naval battle that took place on Cruz Island began and ended just as abruptly.
East of Fenneport, in the Snason region.
The "Red Angel" evil spirit continued to observe the battle between the demigods outside the city. After burning Zatwin to death with little effort, the "Rose School" demigods immediately withdrew.
For them, today was just a sneak attack. Since they failed, and there was a powerful figure like the "Red Angel" evil spirit in the Remburg camp, they should leave quickly to avoid causing greater losses.
Medici then ordered Shatas and Mobert to immediately go to the demigod battlefield to provide support. At this point, the battlefield had become 16 against 16, with 32 demigods engaging in a chaotic battle in mid-air outside the city.
Currently, there has never been a battle involving demigods of this magnitude on the battlefields of the Kingdom of Rune.
The "Red Angel" evil spirit is very familiar with extraordinary battles. In battles between beings below the level of demigod, a sealed artifact with special abilities or an extraordinary performance by a Sequence 5 can potentially turn the tide of the battle.
But in battles at the demigod level, there are few shortcuts.
In the end, it basically comes down to who has more demigods and whose demigods are in better condition.
This is also why the Northern Continent has maintained a relatively stable situation over the past thousand years; without enough demigods, if you can't win, you can't win.
Individual willpower simply cannot bridge the gap created by demigods.
Therefore, in battles at the demigod level, there are not many tactics available, and strength is the only true measure of victory.
However, against a seasoned opponent like the "Red Angel" demon, there is still some room for maneuver.
Just like at the beginning of the war, he used the "Extraordinary Rocket" to hold off six demigods of Feneport.
They concluded that Nilec City would definitely send several demigods to try to intercept the second wave of rockets.
It doesn't matter if they don't leave the city; we can just freeze Nilek completely, which will force out their angels.
There was always room for maneuver, and it was precisely because the "Red Angel" evil spirit seized this opportunity that it managed to kill four of the opponent's demigods in the initial battle.
This is crucial. If those four demigods hadn't died, even if the "Red Angel" evil spirit and Cattleya charged forward together, they probably wouldn't have had the advantage.
There is a high possibility that casualties will occur due to the numerical advantage of the enemy demigods. Once casualties occur, the battle at the demigod level will undoubtedly be lost, and the war will be lost.
Because Remenberg launched this war with the aim of striking the enemy's elite forces, but this objective was not achieved, and he himself suffered casualties.
From a war perspective, this can be considered a defeat.
Now that the enemy has lost four demigods, the "Red Angel" evil spirit can quietly observe the battle over there. As soon as it finds the right opportunity, it will immediately bring Cattleya into the battle and can completely eliminate a few more enemy demigods.
Ultimately, it was Marshal Dmitri, the commander on Fenneport's side, who had never commanded such a large-scale and extraordinary battle before.
He didn't even realize that he was in a very dangerous situation.
Whenever he had commanded a large-scale extraordinary battle, he would never lead a group to support the demigods of the "Morse Penitentiary," but would instead cover the rapid evacuation of those few hundred extraordinary individuals.
Marshal Dmitry may have realized this by now, but it's too late; they've already been tied down.
Immediately, the evil spirit "Red Angel" ordered the planes already circling high in the sky to bomb the hundreds of extraordinary beings who were evacuating.
He ordered the tank regiment to give chase immediately, while the extraordinary troop carriers carried the extraordinary individuals to intercept them ahead.
These hundreds of extraordinary individuals absolutely cannot be let go; without them, Fenneport would have no future.
Everything is under the control of the evil spirit "Red Angel".
Only then did Medici look up at the battlefield between the angels high in the sky.
High in the sky, the battle between the four angels continues.
However, the two angels of Feneport, who had lived for over a thousand years, realized that continuing the war was pointless.
When Remenberg's "extraordinary rocket" forced Sophia out, and when the third demigod died, they had already lost.
The battle is still ongoing for two reasons: firstly, due to Dimitri's command error, and secondly, because the two angels also believe they should provide cover for the hundreds of extraordinary individuals who left the city, and try to get as many extraordinary individuals back as possible.
Then Fenneport's "Hand of Order," James I, intervened, separating the extraordinary beings who had left the city into separate spaces. James intended to send them over a hundred kilometers away.
But at that moment, the space in front of James I became somewhat strange, and he immediately stopped what he was doing.
Bernadette, bearing the mark of "pale death," appeared before him and opened a vast passage to the underworld before the first king of Feneport.
By sending those people away, James I was essentially sending them to the underworld.
James dared not be careless. The silver-white "Sword of Order" appeared in his hand, and he slashed downwards with this one-handed straight sword.
Bernadette was "divided" into a separate space.
But then a pale flame appeared on the spiritual barrier that was separating Bernadette, burning a hole in it. The appearance of that flame filled the surroundings with an aura of death, as if the power used by James I was gradually "dying".
Just as these two Sequence 1s and "quasi-Sequence 1s" began to clash, a stream of information suddenly appeared and rushed toward Bernadette.
That was Torriopo, the head of the "Morse Ascetic Order," who planned to ambush Bernadette.
But when Torriopo approached Bernadette, he suddenly broke free from his mythical creature form and became a pale-faced man in his forties.
James I, who was fighting Bernadette, thought that the powerful ability of the "Master of the Morse" required him to leave his mythical creature state to use.
But he quickly realized something was wrong. Torriopo suddenly gave a very gentle smile, looked up at the sky, and flew into the air with a very graceful posture.
A man dressed in an ancient robe exuded an indescribable beauty.
The next second, a young man dressed in Remberg-style riding clothes appeared in the sky above Torriopo. He was handsome and had an extraordinary temperament. He was none other than Odis, the current president of Remberg!
Suddenly, a pale blue two-handed greatsword appeared in his hand, which required both hands to grip tightly, and he thrust it toward the rising Torriopo.
Just now, Torriopo suddenly broke out of his mythical creature state and made feminine movements. This was all due to an ability that Odis had developed: Mystic Reappearance: E'er Flying to the Moon.
It looked like a "goddess of beauty" running towards the moon. However, Odis found it a bit strange, since the essence and characteristics of the "fallen mother goddess" were only torn into the real world when the "original creator" last awoke.
How could the characteristics of a "goddess of beauty" exist on Earth in the ancient times of the Common Era?
However, he then thought that the "Fallen Mother Goddess" only needed one of the characteristics of the "Goddess of Beauty," and perhaps she had given other characteristics to some intelligent beings to achieve certain purposes.
In short, "Chang'e Flying to the Moon" is a story with strong mystical elements, and it seems to be quite different from the legend.
This ability will send the target soaring into the beautiful sky and completely immersing them in it for one to three seconds.
In the context of a battle between angels, this amount of time is more than enough to accomplish many things.
Upon seeing that Torriopo had been hit, Odis immediately put on the "Blood Necklace," summoned a two-handed greatsword imbued with the aura of "corruption" and "desire," and thrust it at Torriopo.
Torriopo's spiritual senses were under great threat. In a fierce struggle, it regained some consciousness and returned to the state of a mythical creature. In that instant, its consciousness returned, and it immediately made a dodging motion.
However, it was still grazed by the two-handed greatsword in Odis's hand, and a gap immediately appeared in that stream of information.
Several streams of information suddenly "fell" into new consciousness, hoping to leave Torriopo and venture out on their own.
Torriopo is trying his best to suppress it, and it won't affect him for the time being.
However, Odis had already gained the upper hand in their battle, and then Odis "recreated" the "Feast of Betrayal".
However, unlike the previous "Banquet of Betrayal", this "reappearance" highlights "betrayal", with wind angels, pure white angels and cherubim tearing at a huge light and shadow.
They seemed to sense Toriopo's gaze, looked at the leader of the "Morse Ascetic Order," and revealed an evil smile, but this time they did not attack Toriopo.
Within Torriopo's body, the several streams of information that had gained new consciousness seemed to be receiving some kind of help and encouragement, causing more information to "fall" and betray their original nature.
Odis calmly drew his "Gus Staff," intending to "recreate" Xing Tian and continue attacking Torriopo, whose condition was now clearly poor. At that moment, a beam of light suddenly flew toward Odis.
The beam of light, accompanied by a violent impact, made the air rustle and hiss.
This is Melanie Whittaker, an angel from the Steam Church, whose purpose is to attack the angels of Remburg and stop Remburg's expansion.
Not only did the Republic of Intis feel threatened by Lenburg, but the Steam Church did as well. So this time, they not only sent four demigods, but also an angel to help Feneport.
Just as Odis was about to dodge, the light suddenly turned around, flew away for a while, and then transformed into a woman who was about thirty years old, with a robust and slightly plump build.
Melanie looked somewhat bewildered, as if she had lost sight of her target.
At that moment, an old man with a long beard appeared not far from Melanie. He had an ordinary appearance and a kind smile on his face. He was none other than Hermes the "Insightful One".
This is an outside aid that Odis brought in; for now, it's still called an outside aid.
Odis was well aware of the conspiracy between Feneport and the Steam Church. This was not due to the efforts of his intelligence network, but rather because there was a demigod in the upper echelons of the Steam Church who was in charge of personnel changes and wielded a "Gus Staff".
Odis often used the perspective of that staff to learn about the recent activities of the Steam Church.
He estimated that the "God of Steam and Machinery" was unaware of the connection between the "Wilderness of Knowledge" and the "Staff of Guth," or that he had a reckless subordinate who was actually wearing the "Staff of Guth."
The second possibility is more likely, because devout believers would not bring weapons when praying to the gods, so the "God of Steam" would not normally know that one of his important subordinates possessed a "Staff of Gus".
The demigod worked as a high-level clerk and rarely encountered danger, which meant he would almost never pray to the "God of Steam" for power while wielding the "Staff of Gus" in battle.
After all, the "God of Steam" does not have the authority to be "omniscient," and it is not impossible that he has not yet discovered this "great spy."
Hermes just attacked Melanie's mental body with a "mental storm," leaving him in a state of confusion for a short time, so he "abandoned" the attack midway.
With Hermes blocking his way, Odis was able to focus on dealing with Torriopo, and he "recreated" the "Xingtian Dance with Axe and Shield".
With a single axe stroke, the data stream belonging to Torriopo was split in two.
Then Odis stepped forward and raised the "Staff of Gus." It was still morning, but the light of dusk suddenly filled the surrounding air.
As dusk fell, a Cyclops appeared, clad in tattered armor and wielding a giant sword.
Mystery reappears: The Giant King's charge!
The "Giant King" who "reappeared" suddenly picked up his longsword and charged towards Torriopo.
The charge seemed to shatter the surrounding light, causing it to become distorted. Torriopo tried to dodge, but found that no matter how he tried, he couldn't escape the opponent's greatsword!
In the blink of an eye, the impact of the "King of Giants" shattered the seemingly empty information flow into seven or eight fragments.
Odis is currently able to "recreate" some scenes at the level of true gods, but it is best not to "recreate" a righteous god who is currently in good condition, otherwise it will easily attract the attention of the god being recreated.
However, this was of course no challenge for Odis; he could simply "recreate" the ancient gods.
Fabuti and Lilith can also "reproduce" in the same way. Fabuti is not in a good state and rarely pays attention to this kind of "reproduce" ability. Besides, they have a deal with each other now, so it doesn't matter if they are being watched. Lilith, on the other hand, will pretend not to notice even if she does.
Therefore, Odis is already quite powerful on her own, even without the help of the "Wilderness of Knowledge."
It is one of the top Sequence 2s.
However, Odis was able to maintain the upper hand in his battle against Torriopo mainly because he seized the initiative and gained a significant advantage from the beginning.
If this advantage is not broken, it will continue indefinitely.
After the "Giant King" that Odis "reappeared" disappeared, he once again used the "Blood Necklace" to summon the two-handed greatsword with the abilities of "corruption" and "desire," and threw the greatsword directly into the middle of Torriopo's several small streams of information.
Just as those information streams were about to converge, a tremendous repulsive force seemed to appear, and they separated again.
One of the data streams suddenly formed the shape of a mouth, emitting a painful roar.
How could the head of the "Morse Ascetic" not have any depraved emotions or desires after serving an evil god for so long?
Moreover, it was the "fallen mother goddess" who gave the "hidden sage" a "new life," and Torriopo had already been indirectly affected.
The two-handed greatsword formed from the "blood necklace" amplified these depravities and desires, and now showed signs of spiraling out of control.
Just as Odis was preparing for her final blow, a massive torrent of information suddenly appeared beside her like a gushing spring.
And immediately, like a raging storm, it surrounded Odis.
Odis's heart tightened. He felt a higher level of suppression once again. This torrent of information was the "Hidden Sage"! Before him, even a Sequence 2 level angel could not enter the state of a mythical creature.
Just as the flood of information was about to engulf Odis, Odis suddenly smiled and said, "Did you really think I was completely unprepared?"
Behind Odis, a bright, clear light appeared, and within the light appeared an old man wearing a hood, holding a lantern in one hand and a cane in the other, as if representing the wisest being in the world.
The oppressive feeling of being in a high position that Odis had been experiencing vanished instantly. He transformed into a stream of information and escaped the encirclement of the "Hidden Sage".
Upon seeing the figure before him, the "Hidden Sage" uttered a surprised voice amidst the torrent of information: "Lord of Mysteries?"
The other angels nearby were puzzled. What was so strange about this?
They all knew that Odis was originally a follower of the "Lord of Mysteries".
Elbera, Constantine, and Hermes were not surprised; in their view, it was not unusual for a "wise man" to have both a divine and a human side.
As expected, the three "old subordinates" guessed correctly: the "Lord of Mysteries" at that moment was actually the Celestial Master in disguise.
Odis had previously discussed with the Celestial Master the matter of dealing with the "Hidden Sages." The Celestial Master clearly stated that they could not confront the "Hidden Sages" directly because they were originally part of the "Sages," and it would be easy for them to resonate with each other, affecting the Celestial Master's current advantage in terms of consciousness.
So Odis came up with the idea of having the celestial master appear under the guise of the "Lord of Mysteries." The "Lord of Mysteries" is neither the celestial master nor the "sage." This is a character "created" by Odis, and he will not resonate with the "hidden sage."
Of course, this will seriously affect the level of the Celestial Master. Those who only possess the dual-path Sequence 1 level may not be able to easily intercept and block the "Hidden Sage" like Adam, but they can still stand their ground and block it.
Of all the angels present, only the "Hidden Sage" knew that the "Lord of Mysteries" was Odis.
With the Celestial Master confronting the "Hidden Sage," Odis finally withdrew and returned to his own battlefield. The pale blue greatsword in the "center" of Torriopo's body was still there, and the president of the "Ascetic Order of Morse" still had not been able to complete the fusion of his body.
It started to get out of control. The few small streams of information were gradually covered by brown fur, and each of them emitted a beast-like roar.
Odis sheathed her two-handed greatsword and quickly put the "Blood Necklace," whose safety time was about to expire, back into the "Wilderness of Knowledge."
Those streams of information finally converged, but even if they did, they would only form a monster.
Odis gripped the "Staff of Gus" tightly with both hands, and suddenly clusters of starlight emerged from the staff's head. These starlight quickly coalesced into a long, straight sword that shimmered with starlight.
With a flick of his longsword, a massive beam of starlight fell from the sky, striking the monster that had just coalesced and was now composed of brown fur and streams of information.
With Torriopo's roar, his physical body was instantly crushed by starlight, and his spirit was also covered by starlight and quickly dispersed.
The starlight disappeared, leaving only an extraordinary quality at the "Sage" level.
Odis withdrew her special abilities and looked at the battle between the other angels.
The moment the "Lord of Mysteries" appeared, James I issued the order to retreat.
Angels can easily extricate themselves, but demigods do not.
The "Red Angel" evil spirit seized the opportunity and charged forward with Cattleya. At this time, the demigods on Feneport's side were only interested in retreating and had no intention of fighting.
As a result, under the command of the evil spirit "Red Angel", they successively killed the enemy's demigods.
Under the protection of angels such as James I, the demigods were able to escape.
But in that short period of time, three demigods from Fenneport's side were killed.
By the time Odis killed Torriopo, the higher-level enemies had already fled.
However, those extraordinary beings below the level of demigods were not so lucky. From the moment they left the city, they were bombed by planes in the clouds.
To their dismay, the planes were flying at altitudes of several hundred meters, which was far beyond their reach.
However, the planes were faster than the running Sequence 5, and kept circling to bomb.
At that time, people had no experience in avoiding bombing, and they were foolishly bombed twice before they realized they needed to scatter.
However, their life force had been drained by Ellebella, and even those at Sequence 5 were panting after running for a while. Many extraordinary individuals fell behind and died in the machine gun fire of the pursuing tanks.
They split into small teams and ran as fast as they could, hoping to escape in this way.
However, very quickly, high-speed troop carriers carrying a large number of Lenburg Extraordinaries flanked from the flank, and the two sides engaged in fierce combat.
At this point, the extraordinary aircraft in the sky stopped bombing, the large aircraft began to return to base, and the small aircraft circled around to scout the movements of the extraordinarys in Fenneport and guide the extraordinarys on the ground to their targets.
The Extraordinary in Remnantburg can summon troop transports at any time and can hover and fly even in places without roads, while the Extraordinary in Feneborg can only run on two legs.
The battle lasted about half an hour, and most of the enemies were eliminated.
Those who managed to escape were pursued by a small team of tanks and several times the number of extraordinary individuals. It was estimated that this chase would continue for another day or two, but out of several hundred extraordinary individuals, no more than ten would survive.
Sequence 5 opponents are the primary targets of the Remnant Beyonders; their survival rate is actually low, while Sequence 6 or 7 opponents are more likely to survive.
The probability of escaping is actually higher.
The battle is now essentially over, and the Battle of Nerok is destined to be recorded in history. From this day forward, extraordinary weapons can hold off several demigods, which will further tilt the balance of war toward the side with stronger extraordinary weapons.
The form of warfare has undergone a fundamental change, and traditional tactics and strategies have been rendered obsolete by the times.
