Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

"Sir, the preliminary connection has been completed."

Adjutant Myron's tone contained concern: "Six reconnaissance teams, including the arsenal chief, lost contact. We tried three times, but none of them responded."

Ser Taizer's face was sinking like water, and he marked the missing areas one by one on the temporary map on the shelf.

The earliest bad news was discovered by a reconnaissance team.

They found the problem in the regular contact with the surrounding groups, and found the black smoke rising from a bird's eye view from a high place. They found the body of the friendly army, which had been scorched black by the flames, and they could not see the cause of death, nor did they know how many enemies there are.

They reported the news that Sir Taizer was experienced and knew that it was not good, and immediately ordered the adjutant to send out a signal to conduct a large-scale call and inventory of the reconnaissance team across the island.

Six groups of elves are missing.

Two groups of them found dead bodies, but both were so burned that it was impossible to get information on the conflict from the dead bodies, how many enemies there were, or what methods they used.

For the other four groups, even the bodies could not be found.

Looking at the regional map, Sir Tazer's face was extremely gloomy.

He had previously found pieces of the sacred artifact one after another, and he thought the golden apple had hit him on the head. However, opportunities and risks coexisted, and the trouble this time was more difficult than he imagined.

"calm down."

He muttered to himself.

His good background and high military literacy made him calm down quickly, and he was not controlled by anxiety and anger. He said: "Mr. Myron, send someone back to the Wing of Wayne, report this news to His Excellency the captain, and request He speeds up repairing the ships."

Taize stood in front of the map, his eyes flashing coldness: "At least we are not without gains... The other party used flames to destroy the corpses, and the missing four groups are likely to be captured by them, the Goethes must have something on the island. If you find that, it will be fine.”

He took out a ruler and a quill, marked a point on the east, west, and south of the island, and said to the adjutant: "The one hundred sailors brought by the master, you leave ten and divide the others into three The team marched to these three points, ordered them to occupy the commanding heights, build observation decks, closely monitor the surrounding waters, and immediately issue a warning if any ships try to leave or come."

"Order all reconnaissance teams to withdraw immediately and return to the command post to accept the next step."

The adjutant heard the words and said in surprise: "Retreat?"

"Yes, retreat." Ser Taizer said decisively, "The enemy is dark and we are clear, they have the ability to quickly destroy a reconnaissance team without leaving any traces, which is very tricky, and, have you noticed?"

He pointed to the map: "Six teams were destroyed, two teams were found, and their bodies were burned. The other four missing teams, look at the location on the map, did you find any patterns?"

Adjutant Myron watched for a long time, and then said: "My talents are limited..."

Sir Taizer said indifferently: "Mr. Myron, it's time for you to take some time for mathematics. I think that with the development of the times and the progress of the art of war, the art of mathematics will be more widely used."

"If I expected it right, the enemy chose the target and used extremely clever mathematical calculations. Each reconnaissance team will regularly contact the surrounding friendly forces to ensure safety. The enemy has picked the weakest security mechanism. the link to minimize the probability of the target being found missing..."

Adjutant Myron took a few glances, and suddenly said: "So...why don't the remaining two groups follow this rule? And destroy the corpses..."

"I don't know, at least I haven't figured it out yet, maybe it's misleading us, maybe it's trying to drain our energy... So I asked our people to withdraw first."

Sir Taizer said: "My mentor told me that there must be a reason for things that I don't understand, and I should think carefully and slowly, especially when I have an advantage, and don't be rash. So I think, since the Goethe people play this game It's a trick, then I must not let them get their way."

He looked at the Wing of Wayne in the distance: "Our advantage is the battleship, and the Goethe's disadvantage is the battleship. The performance of our battleship is much higher than theirs. I don't know their plot, I only know that even if they have another Ingenious strategy and trump card, if there is no ship, they will never want to leave this place."

"So, I don't mind waiting a little longer. Once the Wing of Wayne can start sailing again, then our warships need to patrol this archipelago to find the ship hidden by the Goethes."

"And once we find their hidden ship, then the Wings of Wayne can easily smash their little toys, and once their ship sinks, even if they have all kinds of plots and all kinds of discoveries, it's useless. , so that they have no way to retreat, we can slowly deal with them on the island of Saint Yin, slowly find them, and kill them one by one."

The elf said this with a cruel sneer.

"Be patient with elves... These humans are so naive."

Adjutant Myron said sincerely: "Your wisdom amazes me."

Ser Taizer smiled reservedly.

But the commander was not as calm as he seemed on the surface.

Because he is only the captain of the Marine Corps, not someone who can make a final decision on the ship. Although his strategy is sound, he still needs the approval of the captain and the master.

"The captain is easy to say, I hope the master's patience is enough..."

He secretly said in his heart: "And, Wayne's Wing, it must be repaired quickly..."

on board.

The master returned to the battleship by boat. His subordinates and students waited on the deck. After a simple greeting, the magus quickly returned to his cabin.

It was a luxurious room almost as big as the captain's room, shining with magical aura, full of books and spar decorations, and various instruments were fixed on the magic table. Even at sea, the master carried out safety measures every day. Arcane experiment.

He couldn't wait to take out the "sacred artifact fragments".

For spellcasters, these spiritual items imprinted with the path of the strong are even more attractive than the unparalleled beauty in the world. The feeling of snooping and plundering other people's life practice and path... It's so cool.

It really surpasses all other pleasures.

Just as a famous legendary mage in history said a classic saying at the Arcane Council - the so-called great mages must be virgins.

This sentence is widely circulated as a joke to ridicule the mage, but it is well recognized by the casters. After all, a person's energy is limited. If you want to make achievements on the arcane road, you must abandon other boring temptations in the world. Fetters, for Master Lacles, loyalty to the Queen and the country has involved a lot of his energy, let alone a partner, power or something.

If he could, he hoped he could live a peaceful life.

To be able to study what he wants to study freely, without being disturbed and hindered.

But the idea is bound to be a luxury.

He had only studied for a while when he heard bad news.

"What? Ser Taizer is going to stand still and wait for the Wings of Wayne to sink the Goethe ship first?"

After Master Lacles heard the news, he immediately showed a very displeased look: "I don't agree! The Goethes tried every means to ambush our soldiers, they must be trying to obstruct our search, and there are huge hidden dangers on the island of Saint India. A secret, they must have discovered something!"

He looked at the captain and said solemnly: "Please immediately order him to carry out a sweep and search, and find the whereabouts of the Goethes as soon as possible! We found so many precious holy artifact fragments in just a few hours on the island, and the Goethes found They must have more than us! Maybe they have found something more precious!"

"What if they found the weapons left by the rebellion? Even more powerful things...not impossible! Every minute of delay now is irresponsible to the country!"

The master's words are sharp and aggressive.

The captain was a little hesitant. He was also an experienced officer and recognized Ser Taizer's cautious attitude and thinking - they are proud Royal Navy, ship-oriented, as long as they sink the opponent's warship, they will get all the initiative. The tactical thinking of the Marine Corps captain is very suitable for his appetite.

So he said softly: "I think it's not a few hours away. When the ship is repaired, we will start the cruise immediately. As Sir Taizer said, as long as we find their ship, we will win."

The master quarreled with him and walked away.

After all, the captain is the most powerful and prestige person on the ship.

Moreover, this is the island of Saint Inner Islands, and the amazing mana of Master Lacles cannot be used. The combat power is no different from that of a rookie. The waist is not hard, and he cannot speak loudly.

He was so angry that he walked faster.

Suddenly, the shoulders loosened, and the beautiful parrot suddenly flapped its wings and flew.

The master was startled and turned his head to look.

This parrot is very psychic and very well-behaved. After getting on the boat, he never left his shoulder. When he was arguing with the captain just now, the parrot just stayed quietly. What happened now?

That's it, that's it.

He was distracted by the sight of the parrot already flying high, and he didn't bother to pay attention to the beast - besides, it was sent by Ser Taizer, and now the Master's impression of Captain Marine has plummeted.

With a sullen face, he returned to the cabin on his own, ignoring the parrot again.

So he didn't know that this beautiful parrot did not leave the warship, but spread its wings and flew into the warship from the hatch, flying through the complex internal structure.

It's like going back to your own home.

Fly to the magic core cabin of the Wing of Wayne.

PS1: The first one...the second one will come later.

PS2: In addition, Linghe's era name is a bit strange... It doesn't go well with me, and it looks like a no-brainer. It's better to find this word from the collection of many leaves. Well, it might be better from a Japanese perspective.
