The moment Hobert opened the spirit world, he saw a deep red wall of fire inside, forcing him back out.
However, Alexei, dressed in the traditional Feysac Empire attire, did not launch another attack.
Their intention was clear: until a decisive victory was achieved in the Northern Continent war, the Feysac Empire would maintain some restraint towards the angel-level power of the Southern Balam Duchy.
At the same time, hundreds of large fireballs were falling towards the port. In a ball of flame in the sky, a middle-aged man appeared, wearing a Feysac Empire military uniform, his chest covered with medals, and a stern expression on his face.
This was Snarner Einhorn, the third angel of the Feysac Empire.
For this surprise attack, the Feysac Empire mobilized all its angels, using all its strength to turn Pritz Harbor into ruins.
They were well aware that as long as Loen lost this port again, it would cut off more than 70% of the material support from the colonies to the Northern Continent.
The remaining 30% or so was basically the link between Loen and the various colonies through the teleportation array.
And it would take at least a dozen seconds to half a minute for the Loen royal family's angels to receive the news and arrive at Pritz Harbor, enough time for Snarner to raze Pritz Harbor to the ground.
Alexei and Awatoma only needed to keep an eye on Hobert.
Hobert did not take it lightly because the other party was showing restraint. He immediately used the "Order Crystal" to prop up a black shield composed of "Power of Order", crossed the blood-red wall of fire, and disappeared into the spirit world.
Alexei frowned as he looked at the black shield. This shield was actually not afraid of his flames! It should be known that the flames summoned by him at this level could burn away essence! That is to say, it could "burn away" Beyonder abilities!
His spirituality felt that the level of the shield was very high. His summoned "Sword of War" could only pierce it, like the armor Hobert had just summoned, but could not hurt Hobert.
Suddenly, Alexei seemed to sense something and looked towards the port.
He saw that the fireballs that Snarner had summoned earlier were about to land and explode, but they suddenly went out, leaving only a heat wave hitting the ground, scalding several workers who had not had time to escape.
At the same time, a mighty figure appeared in the sky. He sat in a thicket of sharp swords, wearing a strange crown with rust and bloodstains, and holding a golden scepter.
"The Creator!" Alexei looked at the crown on the head of the mighty figure, his pupils suddenly contracted: The out-of-control Vermonda was found and killed by "The Creator"?
"The Creator" waved his hand at the somewhat surprised Snarner, and this angel was immediately "distorted" to the battlefield on the sea.
"The Creator" rose from the throne and appeared between the battlefield and the port.
Alexei immediately said: "Try to break through once."
Although the strength of "The Creator" was unfathomable, he was not a true god after all. If the three of them were angels, they should be able to try to break through the defense of "The Creator" and launch a round of fireballs at Pritz Harbor.
At this time, Pritz Harbor had at most one or two demigods. As long as there was a round of angel-level fireballs, this port could be turned into ruins.
Awatoma used mist to block "The Creator's" sight, Alexei quickly advanced, and Snarner prepared to bypass the battlefield and continue to attack the port.
Such tactics did not require communication at all. With just a glance from Alexei, or even a subtle movement that was difficult for the enemy to detect, the two "Weather Warlocks" could clearly understand the emperor's intention.
"The Creator" raised the golden scepter, and a small sun seemed to suddenly appear in the night sky, illuminating the surrounding sea and dispelling the mist in front of him.
Alexei, who was advancing, was immediately exposed, but he did not retreat because of this. A blood-red flame suddenly ignited on the long sword stained with blood and rust, and stabbed towards "The Creator".
The crown worn on "The Creator's" head suddenly emitted a bright light, and a dark red long sword with rust also appeared in his hand, blocking Alexei's stab.
Whoosh~
Some white sparks collided between the two long swords of the same shape. "The Creator" waved his hand, and these white sparks suddenly became larger in the air, connecting into a piece, and finally turning into a white-hot wall of fire, reflecting the sea into white.
Snarner was surrounded in the wall of fire and could not bypass the battlefield for a while.
Alexei retreated and raised his hand to control the flames summoned by "The Creator", so as to entangle "The Creator" and create conditions for the other two.
At this moment, the white flames seemed to have encountered a combustion aid and suddenly became all over the sky!
The ability of the "Hunter" has a one plus one greater than two effect after being "magnified"!
A ball of these white flames fell on the sea, and immediately burned out a "sizzle" sound. Theoretically speaking, this white flame can burn everything! Even seawater can be "burned".
Whoosh~
A hurricane appeared in the air, first making the flames even more intense, and then the hurricane rolled up all the flames, forming a white flame tornado connecting the sky and the sea.
Alexei tried his best to control the tornado to drift towards the far sea. Awatoma and Snarner, whose clothes were burned with holes, tacitly made the mist reappear on the sea.
It's just that this time the mist devoured the Feysac Empire's fleet, and when the mist dissipated, the fleet disappeared with the mist.
In Alexei's view, retreating before the angels of the Loen Kingdom arrived was the best choice.
And "The Creator" just watched them retreat in an orderly manner and did not pursue them. After all, there was no need to fight to the death with the Feysac Empire at present.
The officers and soldiers of the Loen fleet on the sea looked at the ball of light in the sky like a small sun, and the white fire tornado that was getting smaller and smaller.
Then they looked at the mighty figure in the distance and the disappearing enemy.
At this time, they belatedly realized that they had won!
In the cheers, some people praised "The Creator" loudly, and some shouted "Long live The Creator!"
After the start of the war in the Northern Continent, the soldiers used the teleportation array and heard some internal news about the attack on Saint Millon. More and more officers and soldiers already knew about the deeds of "The Creator".
So they recognized that the one fighting in the sky today was this legendary god.
"The Creator" raised his hand slightly in the air, which was regarded as a response to the soldiers' praise, and then he glanced at William I, who was late, and disappeared into the real world.
This was the first time William I had seen the true image of "The Creator", which made him slightly stunned, because the feeling that the Creator gave people was a bit like a god of the "Black Emperor" pathway!
...
In a corner of the Pritz Harbor pier, a young man with a Southern Continent appearance, hiding in the shadows, suddenly said: "The Beyonder characteristics of the 'Conqueror' are actually in his hands!"
"His power is more solid and powerful than before!" Sauron tore a gap on the young man's cheek and said: "When he appeared in Backlund last year, he looked a little illusory."
Last year, Hobert used Pound Family's Rafter to enter the ruins of Backlund and took the "Red Priest" card from them.
Another bloody cut was torn on the other side of the young man's cheek. Einhorn sighed: "As far as Beyonder abilities are concerned, 'Hunter' and 'Lawyer' are the best partners."
Medici, who spoke first, sneered: "Are we qualified to be his partners?"
Sauron suggested: "Maybe we should go to Longtail Island or the Southern Balam Duchy to take a look."
Medici nodded: "We should indeed go and take a look."
Einhorn asked solemnly: "Have you thought about it?"
"This may be our only chance." Medici said meaningfully.
...
Hobert returned to Pritz Harbor from the spirit world. He immediately jumped into the air using the "tampering" power and said to William I, who was also in the air: "Your Majesty, the enemy actually sent three angels!"
It was agreed that there would be one, but three came. How should the extra two be counted?
William I, who was usually very indifferent, smiled while watching the fleet return: "The enemy is indeed too cunning."
Regarding the other party's pretense of ignorance, Hobert said: "'The Creator' said that the sea water in Pritz Harbor is too deep, so it is difficult to defend. He is preparing to lower the water level of the port by 20 meters, so that it will be easier to set up fortifications."
Of course, it is easy to defend. If there is no water, how can the enemy sneak attack?
William I continued to smile and said: "'The Creator's' defense plan does point out the key to this defense battle, but it may affect the normal operation of the port. Please ask 'The Creator' to change the plan?"
The meaning is probably: You say, how should the other two be counted?
"Just now I saw the campus of Pritz University and Borton Machinery Company." Hobert said: "It is too dangerous for such famous universities and such important enterprises to be here. Let's move them to the Southern Balam Duchy together."
William I readily agreed: "Okay."
Anyway, five universities have already been sent out, so there is no shortage of this one.
As for Borton Machinery Company, although it is a well-known domestic machinery manufacturing company, mastering a large number of patents, owning some of the most advanced production lines, and having many relatively cutting-edge R&D talents. But compared with the help of an angel and a god, this little benefit is nothing.
As for whether this company is willing to move, William I did not consider it at all.
From today onwards, three of the world's top ten universities are in the Southern Balam Duchy, and six of Loen's top ten universities are in the Southern Balam Duchy.
As for Borton Machinery Company, what Hobert values more is the company's patents and R&D talents, many of which are patents for the development of steam cars.
Hobert was looking for companies like this to research and develop and produce electric vehicles after the war.
After receiving a satisfactory answer, Hobert nodded: "Pray to the 'Creator' if anything happens in Pritz Harbor."
With that, Hobert bowed slightly and left the spirit world.
William I's face instantly fell, and he said to Duke Dlink of Southville, who had just arrived: "Georgina is right, the Duchy of South Balam will definitely be a huge threat in the future."
… …
Hobert found this New Year extremely annoying.
Now he is already a relatively famous political figure in the world, and during the New Year, too many people want to curry favor with him, and too many people want to get to know him.
Hobert only went to see Christian and Earl Hall on the 1st to offer New Year's blessings, and then went to Longtail Island to escape the hustle and bustle.
All visits and invitations were rejected on the grounds that "the Duke is on a business trip."
On the morning of the 3rd, Hobert went to Seros Island as scheduled to meet with "Hanged Man" Alger.
At the previous Tarot Gathering, they agreed to explore the third relic of the Elven race together.
Two years ago, not long after Hobert joined the Tarot Gathering, he used his knowledge to help Alger find clues to three Elven relics.
Before that, Alger had already explored two, one of which was occupied by "Sea God" Kalvetua, and now "The Fool" has replaced "Sea God."
Hobert and Alger explored the second relic together, where they discovered the invasion of the Outer Gods, but it had been sealed by the Elven race at the cost of all their lives.
At that time, Hobert and Alger both realized that these three relics were very dangerous for the two of them, who were only Sequence 6 at the time, and they should not explore them until they were sure.
Recently, Alger encountered a bottleneck in his advancement, and in order to find the Beyonder characteristics used for advancement, he planned to ask "The Emperor" to help him explore the third relic.
The two met on the edge of a forest on Seros Island where few people ventured. Hobert, who came out of the spirit world, smiled at Alger, who was disguised: "Happy New Year!"
Alger was slightly stunned before saying: "Happy New Year."
He had heard too many greetings in the past few days, but most of them were perfunctory, but "The Emperor's" greeting sounded very sincere, so he was slightly stunned.
Hobert looked around to make sure no one was around before saying: "Let's talk about the relic we are going to explore."
This time, Hobert did not wear a mask, showing Alger his true face.
He believed that after Alger's support operation for Crowlier City, this guy should have guessed that "The Emperor" was Hobert.
So there was no need to wear a mask. When he met Alger with his own face, but Alger did not show any surprise, Hobert knew that Alger had indeed guessed his identity in the real world.
"According to the clues obtained before, that relic is located in the northwest of this island." Alger began to describe the information he had obtained during his preparations:
"I've inquired that there is an unnamed island there. It is said that a cannibal tribe lives on the island. Decades ago, the Intis Republic sent exploration personnel, but they didn't find any mineral deposits, so the island has not been developed to this day."
Seros Island is located in the western part of the Berserk Sea and belongs to the colony of the Intis Republic.
Hobert asked again: "Have you inquired about the legend about that island?"
"I've inquired. Many people say that it is a paradise for sirens, because the crew members of passenger ships and freighters have discovered traces of sirens in the surrounding waters more than once." Alger's preparations were very thorough:
"I learned from a retired colonial officer that the Intis Republic once sent the navy to investigate and did find a few sirens, but it was not a gathering place for sirens."
He paused and then said: "In addition, some people have discovered extremely huge sirens near the deserted island. Some people say they are as big as small mountains, and some people say they are like a small island."
"I think that should be a siren attracted by the Beyonder characteristics of the 'Sailor' pathway. As for the specific size, there is no credibility. Almost every island has similar legends."
Hobert nodded slowly and then asked: "Do you have any items belonging to the Elven race?"
Alger paused for a second or two before saying: "Yes."
As he spoke, he took out the crystal scepter he had obtained from the initial relic. After Sequence 5, this scepter was useless, but he had not sold it in order to keep it a secret.
Hobert took it, glanced at the Elven characters on the scepter, and then said: "Let's go, northwest, right?"
"Yes."
Hobert waved his hand slightly, and Alger only felt a blur in front of his eyes, and he had already entered the spirit world.
Alger's spirituality realized that this was not a "travel"-like ability, but rather like "moving" that space just now to the spirit world together.
He opened his mouth, as if by conditioned reflex, wanting to ask what kind of ability this was?
But in the end, Alger didn't say anything: This is the power of an angel, entering the spirit world is as convenient as entering his own backyard.
After traveling through the spirit world for a few seconds, they had already reached their destination.
Hobert stood on the beach and used the scepter provided by Alger to "connect" to the remaining aura of the Elven race around him.
"Huh?" Hobert couldn't help expressing his surprise. He didn't connect to anything!
Alger, who was guarding the surroundings, asked: "What's wrong?"
Hobert smiled and returned the scepter to him: "It seems that I thought it was too simple."
After the initial surprise, he thought that the surrounding area was not too remote. If it was really so easy to find the location of the relic, it would probably have been developed into an "Elven Relic Scenic Spot".
There must be some reason why that relic has not been discovered.
When Alger took the scepter, he heard Hobert ask: "Can you create huge waves or whirlpools?"
Alger quickly said: "If there is enough time, I can create waves of about five or six meters. I can also create whirlpools, but they have to be in the deep sea."
Hobert nodded, and with another wave of his hand, Alger came back to his senses and was already dozens of kilometers away from the unnamed island in mid-air.
Alger glanced at his feet and confirmed that he was in mid-air, but he didn't feel any sense of falling.
The next second, Alger saw "The Emperor" gesturing to him, and he realized that he immediately went to manipulate the waves.
But soon he smiled bitterly: "The distance is too far."
The range of Sequence 5's ability is basically dozens of meters, and their current position is too high. Alger felt that his spirituality could not touch the sea surface.
Hobert smiled: "It doesn't matter, just use your abilities."
At the same time as he spoke, he had already "tampered with" Alger's ability range to hundreds of meters.
Alger took a deep breath and used his ability to create waves. A layer of waves appeared on the sea surface. At first, it was one or two meters high, and under Alger's constant "pushing", it gradually became a huge wave several meters high.
But the range of this huge wave was not large, and it could not form the power of a tsunami at all. It was more like using a wall of water to hit the enemy.
Soon Alger discovered that the waves he created were still getting higher, wider, and longer, and soon they rose to ten meters, dozens of meters.
In the end, the waves even reached their feet, forming a spectacular tsunami!
On one side, the sea water was raised high, and on the other side, the sea water miraculously did not immediately replenish it, so the two people in mid-air could directly see the scene on the seabed.
There were sunken ships, siren nests, and gray-black seabed.
I don't know how many years, this seabed has not seen the sun, and today it can finally bask in the sun.
At this time, Hobert said: "Aren't there too many siren nests here?"
The seabed exposed by Hobert's use of Alger's power was not large, but there were four or five siren nests.
There was even a siren poking its head out of the nest and looking coldly at the two people in mid-air.
Alger then realized: "It seems a bit too much."
Hobert "um"ed and then said: "There is no relic on this seabed, let's go and see over there."
Alger then understood that "The Emperor", realizing that there was no way to directly locate the Elven relic with Beyonder abilities, planned to lift the sea water bit by bit to find it.
This is inevitably… Then Alger realized that with the power of "The Emperor" being so terrifying, this method of searching seemed to be the simplest and most effective method.
Finally, he sighed slightly: No wonder I sometimes feel that my ideas are completely different from those of the demigods. It should be that the power gap between us is too large, so the way we handle things is so different.
After figuring this out, Alger cooperated very well with Hobert, searching bit by bit, like "plowing the sea".
After searching for more than an hour, Hobert, who had just lifted the "sea water cliff", immediately said: "I feel a pulling force!"
He pointed in a direction: "It should be there, you create a whirlpool there."
Even if that is not the location of the relic, there should be some extraordinary power worth exploring.
Hobert once again "distorted" the space, and the two instantly appeared at the location he had just pointed out. The "sea cliff" that had lost control crashed onto the sea surface with amazing momentum, breaking many corals and washing many mud, sand and bones onto the sea surface.
This does not affect Alger's creation of a whirlpool, but it is easier to form a whirlpool because of the turbulent water flow.
Hobert raised his hand, and the whirlpool quickly became larger, from a whirlpool that could only affect the course of ships to a whirlpool that could swallow a ship.
The vortex continued to expand rapidly, forming a deep and vast pit on the surface of the sea. Even Alger, suspended in mid-air, could feel the suction of the vortex.
Suddenly, a luminous object appeared at the bottom of the vortex. As the vortex deepened, Hobert and Alger vaguely saw that it was a trident-shaped weapon emitting a blue light.
It stood firmly on the seabed, completely unaffected by the enormous vortex!
Upon seeing this trident, Alger's eyes immediately turned fervent, and he reached out to grab it.
However, Hobert pulled him back. His spirituality sensed that something was amiss. How could this trident simply stand there on the seabed?
Why hadn't He been able to 'connect' to it before? Were the navy of the Intis Republic all idiots? Why hadn't they discovered it? Why hadn't the surrounding sea monsters tried to devour it?
Just then, the light of the trident grew even brighter, and Alger struggled to jump down and seize it. Even Hobert began to feel that he was being overly suspicious.
Fortunately, the last shred of reason remaining in Hobert allowed Him to 'distort' his position with Alger's. In the next instant, they reappeared on the deserted island.
Whoosh!
Before the two could regain their senses, they suddenly triggered a simple extraordinary trap. They fell into a pit and were bound by flying ropes.
