Chapter 203 Doyle's Journey Is Not over yet (1/2)
Roger showed a thoughtful look, trying to catch Nicole's true intention.
In other words, after the Black Shark Fortress was breached, Nicole's intention was already very obvious. After this most incredible step was completed, everything she was going to do was already on the table.
And the strong men of the Sea Country who had been rushing here with Roger looked very ugly.
Although the previous intelligence had confirmed that the Black Shark Fortress had become a ruin.
But seeing the tragic situation here with one's own eyes, even the seabed structure had collapsed, and countless terrible explosions had occurred here. The fortress that the Sea Country had spent countless manpower and material resources to build was directly wiped out from the empire, which was quite shocking.
More importantly, the Naga Expeditionary Force did not occupy this place. After blowing up the Black Shark Fortress, it directly rushed forward and began to destroy it deep into the empire.
Compared with the militarism of the Naga Empire, which almost made all the people soldiers, the mermaids had been promoted over a long period of time. Whether it was the main ethnic group or the vassal, they had experienced too long a peaceful life and had slowly degenerated.
The gap in combat effectiveness between ordinary people and professional soldiers is quite huge.
After the war began, the Sea Kingdom temporarily recruited soldiers and trained them, and tried its best to expand its army to stop the Naga's advance, but it was still difficult to resist the opponent's advance.
The Sea Emperor has already drawn all the people of the right age under his control into the army. If this continues, the production of the Sea Kingdom will stagnate.
The Black Shark Fortress is their last guarantee. After crossing this line of defense, they have to go all the way to the Royal Capital to find the troops and fortifications of the Naga Expeditionary Force that can resist head-on.
In other words, the sea area between the Black Shark Fortress and the Royal Capital is undefended for the Naga.
All the towns and cities, the citizens inside, are almost unarmed facing a large group of armed thugs who are allowed to kill at will.
This can be said to be the most severe situation they have faced since the Naga invaded the Sea Kingdom.
The biggest white before was also an orderly retreat, which could also prevent the Naga from entering the Sea Kingdom territory unscrupulously.
Now it is a fortress that is defending. Even the most elite troops of the Sea Kingdom have disappeared. At this moment, the Naga cavalry is galloping freely, madly hunting ordinary people of the Sea Kingdom...
"Damn Naga, what kind of magic did these damn Naga use to cause such destruction?" Stilwell's face was pale. Even though he hated the Fourth Prince because of his loyalty to Shaq, he didn't want him to end up like this.
Thinking of the Naga's order to massacre the city, everyone knew that the villages and towns of the Sea Kingdom were in danger and would definitely be used as a target for venting anger.
"This is the conclusion we are investigating here as soon as possible." Roger looked at these sea clan masters, "Search for information, restore the situation of the Black Shark Fortress as much as possible, and find survivors."
His calm and confident tone found the work that these unbalanced masters of the Sea Kingdom could do at the moment, as if they had grabbed a life-saving straw and responded: "Yes!"
Compared with grief and emotion, they had to do something as much as possible.
Otherwise, if such a trick falls on the capital, they still can't resist it, and then the Sea Kingdom will be really finished.
In fact, Roger didn't have any worries about this. He knew very well that the goal of the Naga campaign this time was to seize the landing point, and they didn't have more troops to fight to the capital of the Sea Kingdom.
But there was no need to tell these masters of the Sea Kingdom such intelligence. Driven by fear, they would rely more on the Empire and devote themselves to work to forget their sorrow, which was beneficial to themselves.
But Roger now also needed to teach Naga a lesson, balance the strength of both sides, and take back the landing point, so that the script of the two countries' hegemony in the sea could develop as the Empire needed.
The radiation on the ruins was purified to form a road. I think Nicole didn't want to waste a second at that time, and led the team directly through the original site of the Black Shark Fortress and rushed to the landing point.
There was radiation in the surrounding area, but it didn't do much harm to the defense ability of the strong in this world.
Warriors can rely on their physique to resist, and spellcasters have all kinds of incredible means. In addition to healing spells and equipment protection, the real strong can directly break into the radiation zone.
Soon, Roger was left with only two Night Guards to protect his safety. He opened the Soul-like Bracelet and measured more and more battlefield information on the spot. He also sought support from the Secret Society to try to restore what happened on the scene.
Those legendary masters were not simple figures either. They grew up in countless battles and adventures, and they were extremely experienced. They could draw many conclusions from the information left on the battlefield.
As the information they had discovered was restored to Roger, everyone had a preliminary understanding of what happened on the battlefield when the Black Shark Fortress fell:
"When the fortress fell, the battle was still going on on the city wall, and the Naga troops showed no signs of retreating, and they also suffered heavy casualties."
"All the explosions occurred almost in an instant, and someone sneaked in to arrange them in advance."
"The initial placement of the explosion was in the key structure of the fortress, the foundation support structure, etc. The kinetic energy of the explosion was increased to the limit, which triggered a chain reaction."
"The other party discovered the collapsed divinity, and they should have transformed some magical creatures that are good at covert operations, secretly entered the Black Shark Fortress, and dominated the current ending..."
Everyone talked about the scene, and for Roger, this was also a completely unfamiliar field. The experience of the previous life game could no longer provide any help for the current battle.
His existence promoted the progress of the Qingteng Empire and also pushed the gods to interfere more and more deeply in this world. He suspected that he had advanced to the situation after several plots.
This was really a path he had never imagined when he first crossed over.
However, through the investigation of the explosion site, Roger was basically able to confirm that Naga's winning hand came from Nicole's layout. In order to complete the entire layout, she pushed the Naga Expeditionary Force to make a desperate output against the empire, intending only to continuously consume the energy of the fortress defenders.
Moreover, the magical creature that Naga sneaked into the Black Shark Fortress had a very high intelligence and strength. At least he was a master of architecture, with extremely high observation and analysis capabilities, so he could observe the structure of the fortress on the spot and then complete the blasting in a targeted manner.
And there was also divinity. Obviously, it was a powerful existence that was given power by the sea god, so he could complete the task of carrying about fifty hydrangeas into the Black Shark Fortress.
In summary, the Secret Law Society determined that the magical creature could not be replicated in the short term. The Naga Empire wanted to repeat this operation, but I am afraid that it would not be able to find a target that could carry divinity again.
Even if there is, the target may not have such knowledge and be willing to complete such a fatal mission.
So the method used by Naga this time is an unrepeatable operation.
Moreover, they don't have so many hydrangeas. After being beaten by the Queen of Eternal Night, Frankenstein will never dare to do such a trick again.
The analysis of the Secret Society made the strong men of the Sea Country feel relieved, which means that their capital is at least not at risk.
At this time, the strong men who first discovered the traces of divinity suddenly sent a message: "Report to Lord Charles, we found the whereabouts of Prince Doyle..."
"Is it inconvenient for him to move?" Roger asked.
He almost instantly realized that the other party did not move Doyle directly, but asked for his reason.
The other side gave a positive answer, and Roger did not have any airs. He asked the coordinates of the other side, filled up the protective spell, and then went to the strong radiation area they marked.
The people in the Eternal Night World are quite tough and dare to go directly into the radiation zone. The Secret Law Society also proved that the radiation in this world has a very low probability of causing cancer and tumors in professionals.
But Roger is still cautious. His three views are established on Earth. He has a natural fear of radiation, so he is still more cautious.
If you don't consider yourself, you have to consider your future children. Be a responsible father, right? (Fog)?
Soon Roger saw the dug out Prince Doyle.
This is a real dig. The area where he is located was directly raided by Collins.
And this former son, in order to avenge his brother, hates the royal family of the mermaids.
Although it was Shaq who did it, not Doyle, they are brothers. It is reasonable for the younger brother to seek revenge on his younger brother, right?
As for the fact that Shaq might be happier if Doyle was killed, Collins at that time had no more considerations and directly left a hydrangea equivalent to 300,000 dense equivalents for Doyle.
This is also the only hydrangea that exploded in mid-air instead of underground.
Because of its uniqueness, coupled with the weak divinity left at the scene, those legendary strongmen realized that this place was different. Later, many people gathered here to search carefully, and then followed the weak magic fluctuations to find Prince Doyle, whose life breath was almost gone, and then dug him out of the ruins of the fortress.
A healer at the scene used magic to maintain Doyle's life, but his expression was very depressed: "My lord, the prince's time is running out, he insists on seeing you."
Roger nodded, and appeared in front of Doyle with a very serious expression. He could see that the prince who felt heroic and extraordinary when he met last time was almost unrecognizable in his original appearance.
At the same time, the residual radiation and divinity damage caused many changes in his body, and he was almost not in human form, but the monsters cultivated in Lydia's laboratory.
But he was very lucky not to die directly in the explosion of the Black Shark Fortress. It was because countless guards used their lives to resist the damage, and he also had a lot of priceless life-saving props on his body, so he was not directly torn apart.
However, the damage from traditional protection still put him in a critical state.
Prince Doyle carried a life-extending prop. When activated at a critical moment, a life vine would grow, penetrate deep into the earth veins and the breath of life, and feed back to the host to maintain his life.
But his life was maintained. The life vine attracted not the breath of life, but also very strong radiation, which directly increased the degree of deformity and mutation of Prince Doyle. This is also the reason why a group of legendary strongmen felt regretful and could not save his life.
Doyle opened his swollen eyes, recognized Roger with difficulty, showed a difficult smile, and asked the inexplicable question of many people at the scene: "Lord Roger, who did you choose in the end?"
Roger did not expect that he was still struggling with this in the end, but he did not say much in front of so many people and pointed at Doyle himself.
Doyle couldn't help laughing, but it pulled at his wound, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
He was very happy, he still won. Facing the Naga expeditionary army raising the flag of massacre, he led the weak army and civilians to defend the fortress for three days.
The final fall was really not something he could control, but Nicole was too cruel, so cruel that even the Naga people who knew the inside story would feel fear when they saw her.
Doyle took a breath, raised his eyelids slightly, and his voice became weaker: "Let Shak... protect the Sea Country... definitely..."
Before he finished speaking, he fainted because of limited energy.
"The Fourth Prince can't be saved." The strong men of the Sea Country also sighed helplessly.
Doyle's heart did not stop beating immediately, but it was getting slower and slower. It was difficult to save that kind of person with the magic of this world.
The divine aura in his body resisted most healing spells. After all, it was a higher energy.
Roger did not respond to them directly, but said to the soul-simulating bracelet: "Ms. Lydia, do you have any good suggestions?"
The soul-simulating bracelet projected the figure of a black-haired loli, rubbing her temples: "I read his report. If you can teleport him to me, you may still be able to save his life. But without the support of the life ritual, even if I teleport over, I can't save him."
"Thank you." Roger couldn't help but sigh.
He was actually very optimistic about Doyle. As a bastard prince, he could have achieved what he has now. With his bravery and calmness, he should have achieved greater success.
Unfortunately, fate played tricks on him. Nicole was more powerful than him and killed him in the Black Shark Fortress.
Lydia hesitated and whispered, "There is actually another way. I don't know if it will succeed..."
"But you can tell me."
"Feed him to the base coral. I have designed a special fusion mode that can be based on new materials. His current damage will be distributed to the growing body of the base coral, which will be easy to handle." Lydia paused here, "However, after the fusion, I can't guarantee that he still has a complete soul. After all, that is the way to absorb materials. I can remotely modulate and suppress it..."
Roger looked at the black-haired loli who lowered her head and snorted, "I know you don't want to miss the precious materials that exist simultaneously with radiation and divinity, but I have to tell you with regret that we are alone in the enemy's rear, and there is no base coral around us..."
Just then, a turbulent water flow came from a distance.
An underwater fleet of giant whales was rushing towards the Black Shark Fortress.
On a pure black seahorse in front of him sat the prince Shak, wearing bright armor and holding a spear, holding the head of a Naga.
Nicole Blue Coral, the vanguard general of the blockade.
Shak fulfilled his promise and led the army to kill the vanguard officer of the Naga, then broke through the blockade and rushed to the Black Shark Fortress.
Roger's eyelids lit up slightly, looking at Shak who stopped in front of him and the army transporting supplies behind him, thinking.
Shak stood in front of Roger, with an upright posture and sharp eyes: "My lord, where did the Nagas run to?"
Roger looked at him and couldn't help but smile with relief, and asked softly: "Shak, do you dare to save your fourth brother?"
"Why not? I have to fight for this throne with my own ability, not for him to give it to me in such a stupid way."
Shak said confidently.
The eyes of the powerful sea tribesmen also showed relief and surprise.
For the first time, their prince showed the domineering aura of a king.
