Chapter 221: Heavy Rain

The weather in Susal is subject to change.

As soon as Charles greeted the three of Todak, dark clouds gathered in the distant sky, and darkness and dampness soon enveloped the entire imperial capital.

First, there was a drizzling rain.

Sitting in the hall of the castle, everyone listened to the raindrops hitting the roof, looked at the rain curtain that gradually became blank, and looked at each other speechlessly.

"Damn, look at this rain, at least I can't do anything for half a day." Zhang Ze held his head and scolded unpleasantly.

Rainy days are also common for players, but bad weather will not only affect the mission, if you choose to go out of the city on a rainy day to farm monsters and level up, then you have to make a lot of preparations, otherwise you will accidentally get sick from the wind cold, or you will not adapt to the wet environment, and the player will be stunned to find that the monster that he could easily deal with before has suddenly become stronger.

Charles did not speak, silently walked up to the top floor of the castle, standing on the highest tower of the castle, overlooking the aristocratic quarter.

Dark clouds weigh down on the city.

A solemn and dull aura filled my heart.

"This rain is too sudden......"

Behind him, the elven druid winged wind spoke, "If such a heavy rain is predicted, the prophets of the Royal Court Planetary Hall will make an announcement in advance. ”

"yes, it was so sudden." Charles nodded, looking up at the sky that could not be dissolved, like a black curtain of dark clouds, and there was a haze hidden in his eyes, "At this point in time...... It should be that the plot is going to be connected to ......"

He just came back from doing a bunch of things last night, so he naturally knows the progress of the main plot better than Yifeng and the others.

Confusion and fear have spread throughout the city.

And Isaac, the dark priestess, has been hiding in the underground temple for many days, preparing for a certain ritual, and perhaps the current heavy rain is a sign that the ritual is starting to begin.

"Tell your men to prepare waterproof clothing."

"The wind and rain are just right for those Dreven pirates to attack the Susar docks."

Charles's speculation was not wrong.

When the dark clouds had just converged over the imperial capital.

Noble Quarter.

Earl of Silverhorn's Mansion, underground.

In the dark and twisted temple of Banne, the dark high priest, dressed in purple-trimmed black robes and covered with a mask of fear, slowly stood up from an altar.

The altar is shining brightly.

The heroic paladin, bound to the cross, was too weak to speak. And belong to the ancient Nether Sword of the heroic sword saint Olthos. In the center of the altar, a steady stream of power spreads out from the sword.

"The Ceremony Begins......"

"The earth trembled, and a blurred vision of the distant world emerged within the circle, as the dimensional portals were torn open by magical energy. That is, the day when Susar's fear boiled......"

Isaac spoke in a low tone, and a pair of eyes peeking out from under the mask shimmered with madness and evil.

"Let Captain Bach lead the fleet and officially attack the docks!" Isaac flicked his black robe and stared at the corner of the temple. Alyssa the Blighter emerges from the darkness and bows her head to receive orders.

"Silver Horn!"

Isaac looked into the other corner, a distorted, aristocratic middle-aged man in a gorgeous tuxedo, with a grim smile on his lips, saluting under the altar.

"You have been active in the aristocratic class of the imperial capital for so long, you must have a list of people to reach in your heart. Go ahead and make those nobles who are willing to serve the Church submit, and those who are unwilling must be cleaned. Exacerbate the chaos and panic with their corpses! Isaac said coldly.

The middle-aged nobleman didn't speak, just nodded, and turned and walked away.

"Isaac!"

On the altar, the frail paladin saw this and shouted unwillingly, "You will not succeed! The Legend of Caradnay has long seen everything! And Cormier's patron saint, Van Geda Heist, who has been watching the Purple Dragons from beginning to end, and has never left even half a step......"

"Legends? Van Geda Heist? Hehehehehehe......"

Elisa glanced coldly at the paladin, a shrill laugh erupting from her mouth, "You know the door of the plane summoned by this altar. Where does it lead? ”

"Do you know what will come out of the door and descend on this land? Unfortunately, you don't know. Lancelot. ”

"I can guarantee that this feast is definitely much more interesting than the 'Demon Dragon Rebellion'. That catastrophe had Azeen IV, and this catastrophe, even if King Cormier was resurrected, could only sigh. ”

"A catastrophe more terrible than the 'Demon Dragon Rebellion'?" Paladin Lancelot's eyes straightened. muttered in his mouth.

……

Offshore.

Nearly two hundred ships floated in the waves, most of them small ships that could only carry thirty or forty pirates, and these small ships were armed in varying degrees, some with a few barrels of powder kegs and little long-range combat capability, while others were packed with artillery.

At this moment, in the rain, the first mate and the captain were drinking and ordering the sailors, wrapping the gun body and ammunition with oilcloth to release water. In the midst of their busyness, the pirate sailors, first mates and captains, from time to time set their eyes on the large warships in the inner circle of the fleet.

About sixty or so large warships, surrounded by three-masted flagships, slowly sailed towards the Susar dock in the wind and waves.

Flagship Captain's Quarters.

The leader of the Dreven pirates, Captain Bach the Terror, received Alyssa the Blighter.

The silver swift eagle shook its body, shook off the traces of water on its body, and then lifted the 'Immortal Natural Transformation' and returned to its human form.

With a black robe wrapped around her delicate body and her long gray-white hair falling down, Alyssa looked at the one-eyed captain with cold and indifferent eyes, and said, "Bach, it's time for you to act, Lord Isaac has ordered you to lead the fleet to attack." ”

Captain Bach's eyes were extremely aggressive, sweeping over Alyssa's chest, legs and buttocks, his tongue licked his chapped lips, and he smiled: "Alyssa, you are still so beautiful and charming." ”

The Blighter sank his face: "Bach, if you delay the fighter, you know what will happen to you!" ”

"Hmph."

Bach retracted the greed in his eyes, put on his captain's hat, took his scimitar and firecracker, and strode onto the deck in the rain.

"Raise the signal flag!"

"Sail with full rudder!"

The terrifying captain's roar pierced through the rain curtain and echoed over the flagship.

Soon.

The central mast is hung with brightly colored flags. When the other navigators of the fleet saw the flag, they jumped down the cable from the watchtower and explained the flagship's orders to the first mate or captain at the helm.

This large fleet of ships took advantage of dark clouds, lightning and heavy rain to quickly approach Susal in the wind and waves.

Meanwhile.

Susar Marina.

Blue Dragon Admiral, Duke of the Kingdom, a gray-haired old man with only two henchmen Admirals. Braving the rain, he inspected the military port of Susar.

"Lord Duke, there are still twenty capital warships in the harbor that can go out to sea to fight...... The Steel Regent, which was damaged during Storm Longhu a month ago, is being repaired at the dockyard......"

The military port officers received the marshal. He said cautiously after the old man.

"Blockade the military port!" The old duke turned his head to stare at the harbor supervisor, "No one is allowed to transfer warships to sea, even small ones!" The Draven pirates are menacing, so they can only avoid the edge first. ”

"Yes!" The port superintendent said in a solemn voice.

"Angus, Carrie."

The old duke immediately looked at the two young admirals, a man and a woman, who were following him on the left and right. He said in a deep voice: "You two immediately go and take over the defense of the harbor!" ”

"Coastal forts should be equipped with more manpower and ammunition, and defensive lines should be set up on the docks, ready to fight in the streets with pirates!" The old duke's eyes were cold, "This heavy rain is too suitable for the pirates to sneak attack, I'm sure the pirate fleet is in the storm, heading for Susar!" ”

The dock was quickly put under martial law.

Sailors, travelers, and exotic merchants were taken to other areas for settlement.

"Ah, the great war is finally coming......" The sailors spent some time at the docks, all of them very boring, and all day long they were gambling except for alcoholism. Now the great war will begin, regardless of which side wins. Only after the reopening of the dock will they be able to resume their seafaring life.

The merchants thought more about it, and even when they were pushed and driven away by the sailors, most of them were reluctant to look at their ships moored on the docks.

I heard that the Blue Dragon Navy's armament is far inferior to that of the pirates, and if the situation is critical, maybe their armed merchant ships will be "recruited" by Susar's official "recruitment". People are under the eaves. For the power of the state, this group of foreign businessmen is of course powerless to resist.

"The Great War?"

"Pirates of the Driven?"

Among the people who were driven away, a slightly rickety merchant in a linen robe took off his hood. Look back at the pier in the rain.

"I just got back from Marsamba...... Unexpectedly, in just over a month, Susal was in this mess. ”

This middle-aged man is not like other businessmen who are on the road all year round, exposed to the sun and rain, he is very pale-skinned. Ten fingers are slender and white, and in his right hand, he also holds a short wooden stick that is only half a meter long, ordinary and inconspicuous.

"Mess up, mess up. The more chaotic it is, the more likely it is that the faith of our Lord Orcasus will take root in this land. The middle-aged man whispered in his heart. He pulled back his hood to cover his face and left the dock area with the flow of people.

……

Under the rain screen.

Suburbs.

A slender figure walking in the rain with water droplets cut off suddenly stopped on a muddy country road.

She looked up into the distance.

If you look at the vision of ordinary people, there must be a vast expanse in front of you, and you can't see anything clearly. But this mysterious woman's eyesight was terrifying, as if with the magic eye, she suddenly saw the imperial capital several miles away.

"Yeyao said that the Holy Presence was in the city."

"He's about to come into contact with many dark churches."

"He wants to protect Cormier."

"He needs the help of the Eternal Lover's oracle now, so I'm here ......"

"I hope this mortal can understand the painstaking efforts of my Lord Yeyao."

The cloak woman paused in the wilderness for a moment and continued on her way.

With her rank and strength, she could have teleported to the imperial capital in an instant. But she carried the oracle of the night on her shoulders, and she couldn't expose herself until she saw the priest. You know, she's a lich, a lich.

"Huh?"

A few steps ahead of him saw a carriage approaching from behind and speeding by. The lich tensed and stared at the carriage with a look of vigilance in her eyes.

At this time, the curtain of the carriage window lifted slightly, revealing a stereotyped, sacred old man's face.

Dressed in white robes adorned with gold ornaments, he appeared to be a powerful priest.

"Half-Legendary Priest?"

The lich looked at the old priest in the carriage, and was cut off by the rain, and neither of them made any other move. (To be continued.) )
