For Thousands of Years, My Weakest Brother Has Become a Demon King Chapter 158

   Chapter 158 The Shadow of Truth

  The form of war is based on existing technology, and in the world with the existence of the magic caster bug, almost all battles are based on how to maximize the power of the mage, and build a tactical offensive and defensive system.

   Leaving aside the form of the duel of the mages, which is similar to the duel of the knights, beheading the enemy mages and protecting the mages of their own are the key points of any encounter that can never be avoided.

"Generally speaking, there are usually five to six mages on a 'Lord-class' imperial warship. Except for the storm mages who are responsible for speeding up the ship, the rest are war mages. And they are usually majored in flames. , Lightning, Frost and other direct destruction effect War Mage."

   Captain Hobbs, who watched the distant imperial battleships approaching, said so.

   Including this merchant from Blackwater Province, who has indicated his identity as a magic caster, there are only three mages on the Whalebone now—this is far inferior to the other party in terms of numbers and training in naval combat.

   "We are definitely at an absolute disadvantage in the spell battle. If we want to fight for a chance in this situation, we can only pin our hopes on the jumping gang battle and let it go."

   No matter how strong a magic caster is, he is still a mortal. Before reaching the legendary realm, it is extremely fatal for a mage to be approached by a few ordinary people with weapons.

   "Then the question is how do we get to that Imperial ship."

   Leihuo said so.

The War Mage nicknamed "Thunder Fire" is a greasy-haired young man. When he introduced himself earlier, he claimed to be an apprentice-level mage of the Sage, but later added that he had reached a quasi-expert level in lightning spells. .

   In other words, the degree of [Teleportation] will be used.

   "The other side won't be so stupid. They will get the boat stuck in the distance where we can hit us, but we can't hit them. First, we will be consumed seventy-eighty-eight, and then we will judge what to do next."

  The Warriors expert-level wizard nicknamed "The Big Steel Cannon" said so.

   If this is the case, they can only passively defend and intercept the opponent's spells until their magic power is exhausted, and then they fall into a situation where they can be slaughtered.

  William did not join their combat discussions. Instead, he stood aside and watched the approaching warship, thinking about what type of spell he should use in order to disguise it as an accident.

   He used [Shadow of Reality] to visualize a giant dragon passing by and burnt the ship? Or release multiple [tornadoes] to create a small storm to engulf that warship? Or is it directly teleported to the opponent's ship, and then summons some advanced summons for jump gang combat?

   "Mr. Ishma?"

   Someone patted William on the shoulder, making him come back to his senses.

"What's up?"

  William turned and saw Captain Hobbes calling him.

   "When the time comes, you will help us jump onto the other party's boat. Is there any problem?"

   the other party asked.

   "I'll help?"

  William asked curiously, pointing at himself.

   After listening to the captain's explanation, William understood the other party's plan.

  Hobbes believed that since this imperial warship was likely to be plundered, the other party would definitely not have sunk the Whalebone directly from a long distance. And what they have to do is to show weakness first, wait until the other party feels that there is no resistance here, and then directly use [Teleport] to fight the gang.

   "But teleportation magic is to set coordinates, you should know that?"

  William asked after listening to his plan.

   Lei Huo on the side took out several demon seal runes from his pocket and said:

   "I've always been prepared for this."

   "Then how are you going to get these things on the other side's boat? Throw them over there?"

  William frowned slightly, looking at the runes and continuing to ask.

   "This is where your help is needed."

   The other party replied, and then he continued:

   "Fire and Storm, you are the magic caster of Voyager, right? You were also helping the inexplicable gale that the ship encountered during its expedition?"

   After learning the identity of this businessman magic caster, they could easily guess that the gust of wind that appeared without warning earlier was from this person. Combined with the flame spells that the other party had previously revealed, they were almost certain that the other party was a traveler's magic caster, and his level was not low, at least an expert level.

The   traveler seat corresponds to the three spells of storm, fire and earth.

   To this, William, with a slightly embarrassed expression on his face, replied:

   "That is to say, you want me to use the storm spell to send these coordinates to the other party's ship?"

  Storm-type attack spells, although players are often complained about "scraping" damage, but they are among the thirteen series of spells, the single-person attack distance is the farthest, and the AOE coverage is the widest. According to the setting, this is because the essence of the storm spell is to control the soul, so its release range is approximately equal to the releaser's perception range.

   The other side nodded.

  William sighed slightly and didn't say much, just took those few extremely crudely crafted Demon Sealing Runes from the other party.

   But for their plan, William had absolutely no intention of carrying out.

   Not to mention the question of whether the ship can still sail after the opponent has poured the spell first. Using these inferior demon seal runes as coordinates, it may explode directly when teleporting, and people will be directly broken into several pieces by the broken space.

   After all, the whole Whalebone encountered this incident only after accepting his commission, so it would be better for him to be more responsible.

  Thinking of this, while their attention was far away, William gestured to Liz beside him. She nodded and flew to a position as high as William, and behind her, scale powder like gold powder continued to rise, and then she crossed several golden tracks like a dance.

   A hazy and ambiguous mist filled William's side.

   At the same time, near the Viper Scar thousands of kilometers away, William, who was sitting on a huge throne, was also surrounded by a dreamy mist.

   Countless indistinct connections were connected between the body and the iron card on the chest of the mirror, and then the majestic magic power emerged in this illusory body.

   Using the iron plate on his chest as a medium for casting spells, an extremely complicated spell began to weave in it.

   Several dangerous cracks appeared in the iron plate that exceeded the upper limit of the material's magic power capacity. Invisible magic power spurted out from it, refracting the light in the sky, and slowly constructed a huge and illusory outline.

At this moment, everyone was holding the weapons in their hands and waiting on the deck. They were staring at the warship with the dragon sword emblem on the sail that they could almost see with the naked eye. They did not notice a huge shadow slowly cast on the on their ships.

   "Attention, the ship on the opposite side has stopped! Prepare for defense!"

  Hobbes put down the monocular in his hand and said.

   "Why? There should be no way for the opponent to attack us at this distance."

   asked the "Big Steel Cannon" with some doubts.

  Hobbs heard the words and raised the monocular again to look at the imperial warship.

  This time, through the polished crystal lens, he saw the sailors on the warship not far away hurriedly adjusting the sails and turning the direction of the ship awkwardly. The bow of the boat was crowded with people, and many people were pointing to their side as if they were shouting something.

   "They look like… wanting to escape? Why?"

   asked Hobbes, equally puzzled.

   A blood-clotting roar perfectly answered his question.

"Roar!"

   Half of the people on the deck were so frightened by the roar that they sat down on the ground.

   After the "dark cloud" covering the whalebone left and chased the imperial warship not far away, someone stammered at it and shouted:

   "Dragon...is a dragon!"

really?

   How could there be a TM Dragon in the Broken Sea?

The   bearded captain had only one question in his mind after seeing the black wings spread like dark clouds and the razor-sharp scales shone like obsidian in the sunlight.

   How many years have there been no records of sightings of dragons in history since Utu, a loyal companion of Tyra I, returned to the Dragon Bone Islands? Although the dragon sword emblem is well-known as the symbol of the Riel Empire, for today's imperial people, the dragon is basically equivalent to the legendary creature.

   As a result, an article suddenly appeared out of thin air?

   "Captain, what should we do?"

   The first officer on the side shook the captain's shoulders vigorously, which made him wake up from the shock.

   "Turn on the defensive spells on the Starlight Tower to the maximum!"

   He pointed tremblingly at the two conical wooden towers beside the mast.

   "I've already notified this, what else?"

besides? An adult black dragon appeared here, what else could they do? Is it difficult to negotiate with it?

  The destructive power of an adult black dragon is basically the same as that of a legendary wizard. Because of its natural ability to fly and perfect maneuverability, coupled with its indestructible body, on the battlefield, an adult dragon can often play a role in directly rewriting the battle situation.

   Taking a few deep breaths of salty air, the captain forcibly suppressed his fear and shouted to the surroundings:

   "Keep... keep calm! TMD put away all the bows and spells for me, don't provoke that dragon!"

   Hearing the words, the sailors who had already set up bows and arrows or crossbow arrows, and the war mages with the outlines of the spells flashing on them, all hesitated to put down the weapons in their hands.

   Seeing this, the captain lowered his volume and added:

   "Don't attack it, and don't test it. This dragon is probably just passing by. Since it just appeared on the smuggling ship and didn't attack the ship when it was empty, then it also has no reason to attack us."

   "But Captain, it's coming our way..."

   A sailor standing beside him said tremblingly.

   "Don't panic, maybe it's just going in this direction..."

   The captain stared at the black dragon and said nervously.

   This sentence is not so much an answer to the sailor's question, but rather that he is comforting himself.

   Or deceive yourself.

   It was not until the black dragon hovered above the warship, and a little sparks began to emerge from his mouth, brewing his breath, and he finally woke up.

   "Da Da Da! Hurry up and beat this beast!"

   At the same time as his voice fell, a fiery breath spit out from the mouth of the huge black dragon.

   "Dragon! That's really a dragon! Just as described in the legend!"

   "My grandma would never believe this..."

   "If I can go back alive, I will have a story to tell my grandson in the future."

   "Holy Spirit, Holy Spirit, Holy Spirit..."

   "I still don't understand, where did it come from?"

   Amazed, panicked, prayed, excited, restless…

  Compared to the imperial warship that the black dragon chose to attack, the sailors on the Whalebone showed more colorful emotions besides fear. They were either excited or terrified as they watched the huge black dragon hovering over the battleship, and they made heartfelt exclamations from time to time.

   The person who caused all this, William, made Liz stop releasing the Witch's Mist when their attention was completely distracted by the black dragon.

  Releasing the Witch's Mist is also a lot of consumption for her. It is not an emergency, so it is better to use it as little as possible.

   In addition, it should be almost enough to use [Shadow of Reality] to visualize an ordinary adult black dragon.

   Watching the black dragon in the distance spit out a breath full of black curses on the warship, William thought.

   After all, top dragon species like golden dragons or immortal stone dragons were extremely rare even in that era a thousand years ago.

   is just to deal with a wooden warship, a black dragon breath equivalent to a legendary flame spell is enough... eh?

  William's eyes jumped.

   At the moment when the dark breath fell, a silver-white barrier suddenly emerged from the two wooden towers on the warship that shone with faint starlight, blocking the breath and the hull.

   But they were like brittle ice floating on the lake, and they collapsed at a touch. Almost instantly, the two towers exploded one after another, and the sails on the mast were also ignited in an instant.

   But the power of the breath only stopped there. Originally, the scene that William imagined that the entire warship was burnt down to the keel structure did not happen.

   It wasn't that there was any other force blocking this powerful breath, but the black dragon stopped.

  William tried to continue the command to attack, but the black dragon did not respond at all.

   I can't do this...

  The will of the black dragon was passed on to William.

   The vision enhanced by the [Eagle Eye Technique] quickly helped William find the reason for the black dragon to stop.

   That was a woman.

   A short stature, chestnut-haired woman in a lace dress that doesn't quite fit the sea.

   At this moment, she was panting and leaning against the door of the cabin leading to the deck, covering her stomach with one hand and holding a bronze metal plaque high in the other.

  The metal plate was engraved with the patterns of dragons and swords, as well as a rough, acute-angled symbol.

   I cannot attack my master.

   The will of the black dragon was transmitted to William's mind again.
