Chapter 832, Forgan's Ambition
A few days later.
On the surface of the Great Ocean, Fulgrim stood proudly on the deck of his flagship "Holy Sophia" alone. His loyal guards, the Phoenix Guards, stood far away, observing every move on the ocean.
The Hagia Sophia took two and a half years from the start to the completion. Under the auspices of the chief engineer of Haimen Pass, Jerek Grimm, with the blueprints designed by the emperor himself, a lot of manpower and material resources, and the full help of the lizardmen, The deep-sea behemoth took just two and a half years to complete.
This ironclad ship is more than 150 meters long and 25 meters wide. It is powered by eight dwarf steam boilers. There is a dwarf rotor helicopter pad on the deck, which can carry two dwarf rotor helicopters. It is loaded with dozens of dwarven cannons, but the most powerful main cannon is undoubtedly the dual-mounted naval cannon designed by the great engineer of Haimen Pass, Jerem - Grimnir's Iron Fist, the barrel of this heavy cannon Made of obsidian, one shot is enough to pierce the hull of the Vampire Coast Fleet. Of course, due to the heavy artillery, the steering ability is not good, and the rate of fire is relatively slow. For Jerek and Fulgrim, the artillery is only secondary of.
Pure men will of course have to fight corner fights, board fights and gang fights!
The legion leader, who was as handsome as a god, stood at the bow of the ship and looked at the sea. The soldiers of the Ash Legion were also doing their own thing. Only a dozen or so Phoenix guards were busy on the deck, counting the spoils and losses.
After reorganization, Fulgrim reorganized and split the Legion of Ashes into several troops. Some of them were also named after the legion, while others only had one battalion. The details are as follows.
The captain of the Phoenix Guard, the deputy head of the Legion of Ashes, the sanctuary powerhouse Fernando Pirazzo is in charge of commanding the First Army. The First Army is composed of the most elite veterans, great swordsmen, and foot knights. It was placed under the jurisdiction of the First Army, with four thousand people under its jurisdiction.
Sultan of the Sea, Venerable Golden Arcane Master, Favored of the Djinn, and Immortal Caliph, Karim the Golden Mage is in command of the Legion of Araby and the Desert Army he has just recruited from Araby. , mainly composed of Arabi spearmen, Arabi scimitar soldiers, Arabi archers, Arabi musketeers, Arabi camel cavalry and Arabi knights, and even a whole Arabi arcane wizard group. After the Legion of Ashes, he is now one of the most powerful sultans in the entire Araby. When he returned to Araby this time, he not only brought a group of Arab arcane wizards to join the Legion of Ashes, but also recruited a legendary elite—— The Yenicheri Legion, also known as the Sudanese soldiers, these elites wearing red clothes and using scimitars and muskets have left painful memories for the old world.
The Chasseur Legion is commanded by Ryan's elder brother Julius. After several years of experience and expeditions with Fulgen, Julius has become a qualified commander through blood and fire. Julius Si is responsible for commanding most of the cavalry, ranging from heavy cavalry to light cavalry, but mainly light cavalry.
The Brotherhood of Grimm includes more than a hundred dwarves who came out to explore the new world with the great engineer of Haimen Pass, Jerek Grimm,
At the same time, it also includes more than 500 human musketeers and hundreds of artillery pieces.
The third army was led by the wood elf princess Karona, with a total of 5,000 people, including 2,000 crossbowmen and archers.
The Fourth Army was led by the former Kislev Marshal Yegorov, with a total of 5,000 people, mainly including infantry and part of Kislev's hussars.
The Fifth Army and the Sixth Army were respectively led by Pedro, a genetically modified Emperor's Son warrior from Estalia, and the Imperial General Weidenfeller, who had surrendered to Fulgen and offered his loyalty. Stay with Lustria.
In addition, there is a halfling New World expedition led by a group of halflings led by Mutt halfling Harbi, and the "Cheka" special force formed by General Felix of Hussars.
The former chief interior minister of Kislev who also defected to Fulgan, nicknamed Lev Davidovich the Prophet, served as the general political commissar of the Legion of Ashes. The political commissar, as well as the team of doctors trained by Hertwig Van Heil and several novice witchers.
Today, this Purple Phoenix is already a strong soldier, and his legion is full of talents, strong fighting power, and united as one. These people from all over the old world, with different races, skin colors, and beliefs are firmly united in Fulgrim's Great Wall. Under the banner, willing to die for him,
The sea breeze was blowing, the ocean was pouring, and the sailing speed of the Hagia Sophia was not fast. Fulgrim stood alone at the bow, and the Primarch, the Emperor's Son, was still recalling the previous war, and a series of things.
Ryan sent him the prophet from the old world. This Mrs. Keesler had worked with Captain Ross, the pirate king, and knew how to enter the burial ship cemetery. That was Captain Ross’s moon dial, which was hidden in the Captain Ross is located within a hidden cache in the Great Ocean, a hollowed-out island.
After Fulgen got the news, he didn't set off in a hurry, but waited for the ship to be launched. It was not until three months ago that he finally led the army and set off towards the treasure spot.
Just near the treasure point, the Ash Legion encountered a fleet of undead, and they also tried to find Captain Ross’s moon dial. The Ash Legion and the undead pirates had a battle in the sea near the treasure point, luring each other to the treasure point The upper encirclement was completely destroyed, and then the moon dial was successfully obtained, and from the mouths of these undead pirates, Fulgan guessed that perhaps the legendary undead pirate king, Count Noctilus, seemed not in the burial ship cemetery, and he seemed to be leading The main army went to plunder the coastal port of Araby and the Principality of Billibari in Estalia.
The opportunity was rare. After Fulgan got the moon dial, he immediately turned to surprise the funeral ship cemetery. The surprise attack was a great success. Fulgan rushed back and forth, and according to Karona's description, he found the moon in the treasure chest of a dilapidated undead pirate ship. The Sunfire Amulet of the Goddess Lilith.
Now, it is up to the high-spirited god Asuryan, the lord of the phoenix, to hand over the mantra scroll to his anointed, the captain of the Phoenix guard, Kazhuo Yin. Regarding this, Fulgan knew that he had to go to the old world to join Ryan, because only Ryan Established a relatively stable communication channel and diplomatic relationship with Gao Jing.
Furthermore, Fulgen is deeply aware that if he wants to steal from the high-spirited gods, especially Asuryan, the lord of the Phoenix, there must be an inner ghost. Only Lilith, the fairy of the lake and the goddess of the high-spirited moon, can act This ghost.
Fulgan is still thinking about everything, this is destined to be an extremely difficult task, even more difficult than killing people.
The sea breeze blew, blowing Fulgrim's long silver hair, looking at the endless sea, without saying a word, while behind him, the commanders of the Ash Legion gathered together.
Ryan's brother-in-law Julius is fully armed. He has really grown up after following Forgan in the past few years. Although he is still very gloomy and quiet, Julius has become a commander who can be alone: "Guess Guess, Pirazzo, what is our Legionnaire thinking now?"
Fernando Pirazzo is now a strong man in the sanctuary, and due to the genetic modification he received in the hatchery, he is now over two meters tall. The old mercenary captain and the current deputy commander, the first army Shrugging with Forgan's deputy: "How do I know, I'm not the worm in his stomach."
"Oh, I'm guessing that our legion commander is going to make a big deal somewhere!" The dwarf engineer Jerek Grimm was extremely excited. He had never had such a happy moment in his life. , the entire Ash Legion signed a hundred-year employment contract and covenant with him, and this great engineer was able to show all his ambitions: "Grimnir, who are we going to kill next? "
"None of us can solve it. We have to go home. It is for you, it is for Commander Julius, it is for Commander Pirazzo, and it is for me." The wood elf princess Karona also left Come up, she is wearing a leather suit, leather pants, with the unique green leaf decoration and satin cloak unique to the wood elves. She has a wild beauty. Karona said coldly: "It is very dangerous to guess the thoughts of our legion leader. .”
"Leaders come and go, but the people last forever." Prophet Tor also appeared, and he said very seriously: "We shouldn't focus on guessing what the legion commander will think. We have our own mission."
"Mission? For example, kill Kislev and bombard the Ice Palace?" Pirazzo said sarcastically, "Fight a civil war in front of the barbarians under the eyes of Chaos? I want to say, Lev, your The idea is dangerous and unrealistic."
"If the time permits, why not?" Prophet Tor didn't seem to be joking at all, he was always so rigid and serious: "The Saint Sophia went along the upper reaches of the Linsk River, and the twin naval guns bombarded the Ice Palace, This is something I dream of, provided that conditions permit, and it is still far from the realization of my ideal, but at least we have a direction to work hard.”
But after finishing speaking, the expression on Prophet Tuo's face became more kind: "Of course, it would be even better if the legion commander is willing to try my new fried chicken."
Speaking of fried chicken, everyone can't help drooling, even Julius, who has the coldest personality, can't help being a little greedy. The Prophet has spent a lot of time researching fried chicken in Sartosa for many years. His unique fried chicken recipe is loved by all the soldiers of the Legion of Ashes.
"Oh, finger-licking plain chicken!" The dwarf engineer Jerrick's eyes lit up, and he licked his lips: "I have to admit, I really can't wait."
"That's right, Habi thinks that the legion commander must be thinking about what to eat tonight!" The halfling Habi, wearing a three-cornered hat and carrying a short bow made by Karona and a slingshot on his back, rushed across the deck excitedly. Going forward: "I'll go to the kitchen to look at the ingredients later, who of you wants to be with Hubby?"
Everyone was still discussing, and the golden mage Karim walked up quickly from behind, and he walked to Fulgrim's side: "The news of the legion commander has been confirmed."
"The situation?" Fulgan's attention turned from how to explain to Sanguinius that he had already done it anyway and how to please his nephew: "Your illusion succeeded?"
"That's right, it succeeded." Master Jin nodded meaningfully: "I have confirmed that the undead in the funeral boat cemetery have suffered huge losses, and what the remaining conscious undead saw was ours. want them to see."
"For example, a group of enemies with the phoenix coat of arms and the phoenix guard pattern rushed in and took away the holy relic of the high spirit?" Forgan smiled: "Well done, Karim."
"It is my honor to serve you, Legion Commander. I have never seen such a leader in Karim's life for a hundred years. It is you who unite people from all over the world, people of different races, and people of different beliefs. Let's go together." Master Jin nodded: "If it is allowed, in the future, even if I cut that damn undead pirate into two pieces, I would like to continue to serve you."
"You will, Karim, you are: "If you want to ask anything, just ask!" "
"Legion Commander, I don't think you need to do this to an elf...I mean, don't just stay with that elf." Master Jin tentatively said: "If allowed, I will start from Allah this time." Bi brought a lot of beauties, most of them are only fourteen or fifteen years old, as long as you like..."
"Oh, forget it, Karim, we shouldn't focus on those things." Forgan twitched his lips helplessly: "Also, one Karona is enough for me, right , Karim, didn't you say last time that you want to perform the famous Arabian music to celebrate this glorious victory? I can't wait."
"Yes, we are ready." Master Jin was full of enthusiasm, he saluted and went down to make arrangements.
Fulgan noticed that the Sultan's personal soldiers, the Janissaries of the Arabian Guards, had assembled on the deck, holding musical instruments in their hands, and the elemental mages and arcane masters from the Arabi Academy were all holding Staff, ready to play music.
"I seem to have heard the Arab beauty?" Just as the golden mage left, the wood elf princess Karona appeared, her tone was strange: "So you like that kind?"
"...Karim just asked casually." Fulgan felt a headache when he saw the wood elf princess.
That time in Itaza, Karona finally agreed to Fulgrim's request and joined the Legion of Ashes, became Fulgrim's attendant and helped him train the longbowmen. A year later, Karona made a fuss about leaving, on the grounds that Forgan did not treat her as one of his own, and the two parties did not conclude a "real contract".
The existence of Karona is very important to the Legion of Ashes. In the tropical rainforest environment, the soldiers desperately need such an excellent stalker to provide enough concealment, survival, protection and archery guidance. Fulgen took the initiative to keep her , As a result, Karona proposed a condition to him, a request that was easy to complete and only required Fulgan to make a little sacrifice.
Seeing Karona's resolute attitude, Fulgan would go back to Athel Loren if she didn't agree, but finally compromised.
Who knows that with the first time, there will be a second time, and with the second time, there will be a third time.
Fortunately, Master Jin and the others had already started playing at this time. On the Hagia Sophia, the Sudanese guards started their performance. They blew the suona and drums, and the wizards tapped the deck with their staffs. The charm on the staff jingled.
"Deng~Deng~Deng~"
"Deng~Deng~Deng~"
Standing in front of the crowd, Master Jin was the first to sing, with a rare joy and pride in his tone: "cedd, deden, nasl, baban!"
The Arabs sang the military song together.
"cedd, deden, nasl, baban!"
"Your ancestors, grandfather, your lineage, father."
"Forever brave, desert peoples!"
"Your army has been famous throughout the ages."
"Your army has been famous all over the world in many eras~"
The melodious military music and the gala music from Arabia spread far above the sea.
The oceans seem to be boiling.
Fulgan closed his eyes and listened carefully. Music was his favorite thing.
What a good song!
