Chief Mage Ditra stood on the docks of the harbor, looking at the burning wreckage of the ship on the sea, clenching the staff in his hand, and green tendons protruding from the back of his hand.

"Is that a demonic curse?"

General Flame Fist only felt chills all over his body, and he was also deeply shocked when he saw the scene of the Baldur's Gate Offshore Fleet exploding one after another in an instant.

This famous warrior who once led the army to break the Iron Throne Legion actually felt a trace of fear.

General Flame Fist originally thought that with his martial arts, even if he was surrounded by the most ferocious orc army on the road, he would fight bravely.

With a sword in hand, a paladin should be fearless.

However, whether it is a sniper rifle bullet fired from nowhere, or an explosive trap, or a dragon's breath technique that makes a sudden landing in the air, or the "ship bombing technique" that causes a battleship to explode suddenly, it is far beyond the general's understanding of war.

If the battle becomes like this, what is the point of practicing martial arts and believing in piety?

Many brave and devout holy warriors died in this battle to suppress the mob, and many of them died without knowing how they died.

War should not be like this, it should not be so inexplicable, it should not be so dishonorable, the soldiers should not be so fragile and insignificant, and individual martial arts should not be so worthless!

The chief mage sighed, shook his head, and said, "Without magic fluctuations, it wasn't magic that destroyed the Baldur's Gate fleet, it was probably an evil weapon invented by Bredrow." ”

"Master, what should we do?" The general was fidgety and asked in a low voice.

"You continue with the 'purification' mission," the chief mage said coldly, "and I'm going to take a nap and wake me up in eight hours." ”

The so-called "purification" is to completely remove from this world the unbelievers and apostatists who are ideologically defiled.

Smoke rose from all over the city of Askatra, and the smell of barbecued human flesh wafted through the air, the aroma mixed with the stench of the well-roasted acquaintance's flesh, which was burned again and began to burn.

General Flame Fist was stunned for a moment, and said, "If you go to rest, what about the mob that escaped by boat?" As you said, Bredrow is probably on the ship. ”

Ditra glanced at the general coldly, shook her head, didn't explain anything, and turned to leave.

……

At night, the sky was dark and the stars were obscured by lead clouds, and the sea was pitch black.

Chief Mage Ditra came to the beach, regained all his spell slots after eight hours of sleep, and looked back at the city, where there was still fire, and listened attentively as if he could hear a faint cry.

The wind blew from the sea, taking away the unpleasant smell of ash, and Ditra couldn't help but lift his spirits, his eyes were blazing, and he whispered a spell, and the moment the spell was completed, a dragon-winged phantom appeared on his back.

He casts the fifth-level transformation spell "Dragon Wing", which is an advanced version of "Flight" and grants the recipient a flight speed of 100 yards per round.

The Chief Mage flew up and flew into the dark sea.

The warships of the countries surrounding the Bay of Swords are not much different from the offshore fleets of Baldur's Gate, and they are all wooden three-masted galleons that use giant crossbows as weapons for naval warfare.

While it was unclear how Bredrow had destroyed the Baldur's Gate fleet in an instant, the Chief Mage was certain that Tesser's fleet, or even Waterdeep's, would not be able to withstand such a strange attack.

The number of mages in the Knights of the Mysterious Fire is too small, even if all the mid-level and high-level mages use their flying skills to pursue, they are afraid that they will be hit by rifles as targets, and they will not be able to complete the interception mission at all.

The chief mage simply went to rest directly, and after recovering the spell position, he used the dragon wing technique overnight to rush to Yongju Island, which was 1,800 miles away.

Only the elven navy of Yongju Island can complete the task of intercepting Bredero's fleet.

The Sun Elves and Moon Elves possess extremely outstanding magical talents, and the warships of the Elven Navy of Eternal Gathering Island are far more advanced and powerful than those of the countries bordering the Sword Bay of the Faren Continent.

The elves of Yongju Island used the magic technology inherited from their ancestors to create a magic warship, and with the blessing of the wind element, the sails of the elven magic ship are always bulging, and the sailing speed far exceeds that of human sailboats.

Both the Sun Elves and the Moon Elves possess outstanding magical talents, and the ratio of mages in the Elven Navy crew is the highest in the continent.

The elven archers are highly skilled in archery, and the range and accuracy of the Elven Mithril Bow is not much lower than that of a rifle.

In the navy of Yongju Island, there are also sea elf soldiers, these elves are as agile as swimming fish in the ocean, whether it is defending their own warships or diving and sinking enemy ships.

Although the elves of Eternal Gathering Island have good diplomatic relations with Neverwinter and are also members of the Silvermoon Alliance, the chief mage does not dare to guarantee whether the elves are willing to intervene in human disputes.

At the heart of Bredrow's heresy is to induce the people to abandon their belief in the gods and worship the evil gods called "Crimson", advocating that they no longer rely on the gods, but only on the people themselves.

The human nations of the continent of Faeron have reached a consensus to treat it as a heresy, but when it comes to alien races, the situation is even more complicated.

The elves were sparsely populated and socially oriented, and were rarely influenced by human missionaries, turning their backs on the elven gods in favor of evil gods, and Bredero's heresy did not spread to the island of Eternal Gathering at all, and had little effect on the elves.

Due to cultural differences, Bredrow's stage plays are not popular in the elven country, Tang Xiaotian's songs are very popular, but most of the songs of female singers depict love, unlike stage plays, which hide evil thoughts in the plot and imperceptibly demagogue.

It is not related to the vital interests, and Yongju Island has not participated in the affairs of the Faeron Continent for a long time, so it has become quite difficult to convince the Elven Queen Alpha to send a navy to hunt down Bredrow.

Flying under the clouds, the chief mage fell into deep thought, he thought carefully, if he was the elven queen, he would probably only be happy that humans were in trouble, and would never be moved by words such as "justice", "maintaining harmony" and "guarding order".

If you can't convince Queen Allari, even if you rush to Yongju Island overnight, it will be in vain.

Time was pressing, and the chief mage couldn't think of any other way than to ask Yongju Island to send troops.

He had already tried to turn to the Church of Taros, the Lord of the Storm, in the hope that the Church of Talos would pray that the Lord of the Storm would blow a hurricane and overturn the Bredero fleet.

However, Talos was not a god who liked to respond to the prayers of his devotees, and many believers who gave large sums of gold coins thought they would be protected by Taros, but they were shipwrecked.

Moody and capricious, this is the unique personality of the two gods who control the seas, Talos and Ambori.

The relationship between the Church of Talus and the Church of the Good Gods was also very poor, and they were indifferent to the Amm Rebellion, and even when the Rebellion occurred, the Church of Talos did not withdraw from the city of Askatra.

The rioters were at peace with the Church of Talos, smashing all the churches in the temple area, but not attacking the Temple of Taros.

As a seafaring nation, the people of Amm love and hate Taros, but there is still a trace of awe in their hearts.

As a result, the chief priest of the Church of Taros, the Stormbringer, disdainfully rejected the archmage's request, and Ditra had no choice but to fly to the island of Eternal Gathering to ask for help from the Elven Queen.
