Overseas archipelago.

The warships were about to set sail. I don’t know when a fog appeared on the sea surface. Soren’s figure stood quietly on the sea surface. There were many coolies responsible for transporting goods on the dock. Modo City now has nearly 5,000 slaves, and the labor force is quite abundant. Soren’s eyes were staring at the distance, closing his eyes from time to time to sense something, occasionally falling into deep thought, and his whole body seemed to have been integrated into some special force.

Advanced Arcanist did not make his strength much better, but the archanger's potential is unquestionable.

These are the two most useful specialties at present:

"Arcane Runes [Original Specialty]: The arcane masters master mysterious runes, which can be used to make and strengthen weapons and equipment. The arcane runes are quite stable, which makes the arcane more successful when making extraordinary equipment. The arcane runes can have special effects in many aspects. They can be used on spell exquisite and magical devices. Many advanced arcane runes can easily create legendary equipment."

Arcane Runes.

A constructed rune similar to a spell circuit, its greatest use is to make items.

Sauron's alchemy ability is not enough. Although he has mastered more than 20 arcane runes at present, it may be difficult to make an extraordinary piece of equipment. However, Golia is a master in this field. After being exposed to these arcane runes, she immediately found a way to improve the Gise Silver Blade. According to her own estimate, if nothing unexpected happens, she can upgrade the Gise Silver Blade to a legendary item.

A wizard who can make legendary items is quite valuable!

Soren naturally fully supported this and directly dispatched more than 100,000 Jindler to Goria to control her, ensuring that she could purchase corresponding materials from the Witch Council at any time.

If he can, he hopes to see the finished product of the legendary item as soon as possible.

The second feat is [Arcane Counter]. The difference from [Spell Counter] is that this is a very powerful combat feat.

"Arcane Counter[Trial Ability]: Arcane masters understand the structure of magic net more than other spellcasters. They can essentially counter the spells cast by the enemy. Although this requires extremely high intelligence and understanding ability, if the counter is successful, the archanger can directly rebound the enemy's spell, which is equivalent to [Small Spell Deflection]. After the feat is successfully countered, you can bounce spells of level 1-3 to the spell caster."

[Note: Advanced Arcane Counter Pre-Ability.]

……………………

Rebound spell.

That’s right! This is the arcane’s counter-ability ability. After success, it directly rebounds the spell of level 1-3 to the caster!

Sauron is not very intelligent, but with the improvement of the divine realm, his basic attributes can be further increased. Currently, the middle and low-level wizards have a high chance of successfully launching arcane counters. If they encounter siege, his arcane counters ability may surprise the enemy!

Sauron has 2 divine values, and after getting it, he can get all attributes +1 again.

If this is the foundation, it is not impossible for Sauron to improve his intelligence to 30 points in the future.

"Set off!"

The sea surface at Soren's feet broke through. The ghost ship Dead Speaker broke through the waves, and the black mast rose from behind him. The undead who did not drown on the deck looked ferocious, and his body was surrounded by vague black aura.

This is the power of death!

The ghost ship Deadly Speecher further mutates during the killing, and the ability of the undead without drowning is gradually increasing as more souls join.

As the Undead System revitalizes life, the Dead Speecher has touched the edge of the legend.

It's hard to imagine!

What kind of abilities will a ghost ship have if it is promoted to the legendary realm?

Battleships set sail and left directly from Port Modo. Soren's actions unintentionally attracted the attention of many people, but all parties are now guessing what he was going to do.

……………………

Nusha Island.

A few days passed like this, starting from the order of Sauron's resignation. The island had been docked, and the ports here were now full of warships. When Sauron's Death Speech appeared, warships followed the ghost ships toward the eastern route. Hundreds of warships stretched for more than ten miles, advancing along the eastern route in a pressured manner. Because of the pirates' big moves, the entire southern kingdom became nervous. Many principalities dispatched heavy troops to station in port cities, and were always wary of these pirates landing on land.

Dragon-headed battleship.

Sauron glanced at the others in front of him and spread the map in front of him. He said in a deep voice: "Here, here and here. The Onyx River is the only river we can enter the inland. Most of them dock near the estuary. Others led elite troops to enter the mainland with me."

Onyx.

This river is like the Yangtze River and the Yellow River. It is one of the largest rivers in the southern region and the only river channel that allows large warships to sail.

Soren could not give up his advantage on the water and landed in battle, so he could only go along the Onyx River to the Luoye City.

"Your Mightiness."

The half-elves' first mate's expression was a little confused, and he whispered: "Are we doing such a big move just to enter the mainland?"

Solon has not explained the specific task so far.

If other pirate kings did this, I'm afraid many people would have to leave the burden, but Sauron was different. His reputation among pirates was too high.

Even though no one knew why he issued such an order, the pirate leaders still carried out the order honestly.

"Of course not!"

Sauron glanced at the pirate leader present, and glanced at the pirate leader of the one-eyed dragon, scarface, giant, etc. Seeing that they were all confused, Sauron couldn't help but smiled and said slowly: "We are here to pick people up!"

Receive someone?

Hearing Sauron's words, the pirate leader present expressed even more confusing.

Who is the one to pick up?

Who needed such a big battle to greet him? This time they dispatched more than 500 warships, and the pirates mobilized more than tens of thousands of people. All the people were on standby on the way and were ready to respond at any time!

Such a big move!

Is it just to pick up people? They thought that Lord Sauron was planning to attack which kingdom!

Although I still couldn't figure it out, it did not prevent the pirate leaders from continuing to carry out their mission. Soon the half-elves led the Dragon Head Battleship and the Third Fleet to stand by at the mouth of the Onyx River, while the other pirate leaders led elite troops to follow Sauron into the inland area. The Eastern pirates had already said hello, and the nobles in the southern region were a little panicked, for some reason why such a huge army of pirates gathered here suddenly.

This incident even alarmed many powerful organizations and god churches everywhere.

However, in the current special period, no one dared to act rashly. These pirates seemed to plan to go up the Onyx River. As long as they did not attack nearby cities, no one would dare to provoke Soren.

so.

A large group of pirates sailed along the Onyx River in a swagger, gradually approaching the direction of Luoye City.

……………………

Falling Leaf City.

As the orc army retreated, the ruined city also regained a trace of vitality.

However, although the orc army had retreated for nearly a week, the tense atmosphere in the city still did not ease at all. Because after the battle, the forces of Luoye City were divided into three factions.

The first faction is the druids, and the number of half-elves druids has always been quite large, and many of them are of high position and power.

Regarding how Luoye City should deal with the orc attack in the next step, the Druids's sect advocated that they ask for help from the elves and the Druids' organizations, and use their power to repel the orc attack. However, in the initial siege, the elves watched coldly and did not send troops. Although the Druids' organization gave some help, they were busy looking for traces of the devil recently and did not provide much support.

Therefore, this faction has little say.

The second faction is the traditional aristocrats of Luoye City. They are the backbone of Luoye City and the main force in defending the city. Since the dragon looted the vault of Luoye City after the battle, the power controlled by the nobles was severely damaged. Most of them were unwilling to use their private property to help the city overcome difficulties. Because of the lack of military pay and supplies, the morale of Luoye City's army is currently low. The nobles are very active recently. On the one hand, they are busy trying to win over the group, and on the other hand, they are busy accusing the power of the last faction.

The last sect is the church.

Or in other words, after the orc siege, they quickly gathered together with the Holy Spirit priest-the original half-elves and the priest of the wanderer god beside Milan.

There are not many priests!

Many people fought on the front line in order to protect civilians during the siege, and the proportion of deaths was close to 30%.

but!

They had a high reputation among the civilians, especially when the orcs siege the city, Milan invited the incarnation of the gods to come, and finally summoned the dragon to relieve the siege. At that time, countless people saw the dragons hovering in the sky, and even shivered under their dragon power. Therefore, the influence of the church recovered in a very short time.

A church that has lasted for hundreds or thousands of years naturally cannot disappear so easily.

Since the coming god calls himself a half-elf God, He is the new successor, and the church should naturally need to serve this god.

The original system was not destroyed.

The biggest change is that the Holy Spirit Pastor Milan became the current supreme leader of the church. Before the gods clearly confirmed their new pastors, the status of the gods' elected people was much higher than that of other pastors.

This third force was also the root cause of the chaos in Luoye City back then!

Because on the first day after the Holy Spirit Pastor Milan conveyed the first will of the gods.

"A greater disaster is coming soon! Only by leaving Luoye City and moving along the river can these disasters be avoided. The gods will arrange people to pick them up, and eventually they will take a big ship to a safe overseas life!..."
