Ash opened the strategic map. A battle had already taken place in the landing area, and the number of allied forces was decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Most of the sea creatures in the army led by Ernia are high-level sea creatures, such as sirens and sea witches. Without powerful long-range damage to deal with them, they can create one violent storm after another on the sea.

The Alliance’s firepower is obviously seriously insufficient. Although they still have more than 120,000 people, the quality of their archers is too poor, and the magic cannons of their warships are too inferior. It has to be said that the Alliance countries really save as much as possible in shipbuilding… Of course, it is also possible that the funds allocated for shipbuilding are sufficient, but when it really reaches the hands of the executors, there may be less than half of it left.

Irelia personally supervised the shipbuilding, and the quality of the warships was at least twice as high as the price.

“The combat capability of these coalition forces is too poor.”

Irelia switched her perspective from the domestic situation and frowned when she saw the Allied forces were continuously retreating.

She was dissatisfied with the perfunctory attitude of various countries in fighting against the sea people.

How much damage have the sea tribe invasions caused to the border over the years? Now that there is such a good opportunity to wipe them out, they are still shirking their responsibilities. Even if they don’t consider the people living in the coastal areas, just for the development of the entire country, wouldn’t it be much better to eliminate the threat of the sea tribe?

Unfortunately, most nobles think of immediate interests first. When building a ship, they only think about how many gold coins they can deduct from it, instead of thinking about how many soldiers can survive after the quality of the ship is improved, or how much benefit it will bring to the country after eliminating the sea people.

“But it’s good to be able to kill so many mermaids.”

Irelia looked at the Holy Legion. Ash had already begun to divide his troops, leaving the cavalry on Berkner Island, and the rest of the Holy Legion began to rush to the sea.

[Famous general Ash uses the skill ‘Strong Attack’. 】

The next moment, as the Holy Legion joined the battle, the Allied Forces, which were originally on the verge of collapse, immediately stabilized.

Irelia was then surprised to find that everyone, including the Alliance Army, had been given an attack buff represented by a red dagger. She could not see the specific effect, but the Alliance Army soldiers seemed to have taken medicine, and their attack strength instantly increased a lot.

[Sea Tribe Terminator lv9: When fighting against sea tribes, damage is increased by 45%. This skill is also effective for subordinates when leading a team. Next level increase is 467322/500000]

lv9 Terminator skill buff!

Taking into account the sea creatures killed previously, plus the beheadings in this wave of attack on Berkner Island, the sea creature terminator skill has directly reached the gorgeous level 9, and it is only one step away from the maximum level.

Seeing that even the third-rate soldiers of the Alliance Army had begun to form a counterattack, Ash nodded with satisfaction. He killed these mermaids just to stack the effects of the Terminator’s skills. Otherwise, if there was no benefit, why would he waste manpower and material resources to kill the mermaids? He, Ash, was not a terrorist. Killing, killing, killing also had a purpose. Ash called this behavior – efficient.

You should know that the effect of the Terminator’s skill is a character attribute, just like the character’s famous general skills. That is to say, it can be used in reality after the simulation is over, just like the previous Orc Terminator and Elf Terminator. The Elf Terminator is already full, but the Orc Terminator’s skill is relatively low, only lv5. It was too inefficient to play in a double row with Weinet before.

Once these skills are fully stacked, you will have the advantage of fighting against alien races and start the game off right away.

“My God, this increase is too terrible.”

Irelia couldn’t see the specific effects, but she found it incredible that even the Allied Forces were able to launch a counterattack.

Is this the gold content of the gold card? No, this is already dazzling gold, colorful gold.

On the interface, battle information popped up one after another. Both sides were killing each other fiercely. Thousands of units suffered casualties. After five rounds of action, Ernia saw that it was impossible to break through the defense and could only evacuate with nearly half of its troops lost.

[Sea Clan Terminator skill upgrade, current level lv10. ]

Ash glanced at the military situation. There were still 80,000 people left in the Holy Legion, but there were only a hundred thousand or so in the Alliance Army. A total of 50,000 people had been lost since the start of the expedition.

However, after this wave of attack, most of the mermaid vanguards of the sea clan were destroyed. Without cannon fodder, if they continue to attack inside, it will be a real war to destroy the sea clan.

[Your team killed 1000 mermaids. ]

[Your team killed 1200 mermaids. ]

【…】

【…】

“I’m almost there.”

Ash saw on the strategic map that there were only tens of thousands of mermaids left on the entire Berkner Island, and most of the others had fled into the sea and scattered on the surrounding archipelagos.

After a little thought, he gave up the plan to continue sending troops to strangle them, because it would be too troublesome to kill these mermaids after they were scattered, and it would be a waste of manpower and resources.

[In October 1787, Ash burned the mermaid territory of Berkna Island, killed more than 10 mermaids, and defeated the mermaid army led by the sea tribe commander Ernia.]

[In the same month, Ash continued to lead his troops and defeated the sea tribe again in the Coria Islands, killing 32,000 sea tribe warriors, and the commander Ernia died in the battle.]

[In November, the Sea Tribe King Ergast issued an order to kill all of Ash.]

[Morale of all sea tribe soldiers +5, attack, defense, and speed increased by 10%. ]

[In the same month, the Dragon Scale Tribe sent 30,000 troops to attack the Alliance Army.]

[The Sirens sent 20,000 troops to attack the Alliance Army.]

[The Sea Witch tribe dispatched 5,000 troops to attack the Allied Forces.]

[The sea elves sent 10,000 troops to attack the alliance army. ]

After the order to kill the entire clan was issued, the sea clan army came from all directions.

Ash opened the Eye of the God of War and divided the entire army into several columns, facing the sea tribe one by one.

[Your team was attacked by sea elves, with 8,000 casualties.]

Sea elves are an elemental marine species, very similar to the elemental elves of the elves. They are more animal-like in appearance, and their attack method is pure water elemental damage, with a long range.

Although there are only 10,000 of them, their threat is even greater than that of 50,000 mermaids.

[‘Warriors of the Elven race, defeat them! ‘——Elvian]

The character portrait of the Elf Princess appeared, and the next moment, the Elf archers launched an attack on the sea elves.

Sea elves are very aggressive, but their defense is not high. After stacking various buffs, the elven archers have additional elemental magic attacks, and arrows can easily penetrate their bodies.

But the sea elves have strong vitality. They can quickly recover by coming into contact with water. In short, the entire sea is equivalent to a fountain buff, which has been providing them with a blood recovery effect.

[Felice: These sea elves are too difficult to deal with, aren’t they?! ]

[Weinei: This is equivalent to adding permanent recovery magic. ]

[Anonymous: This is the most difficult part about sea elves. If you want to defeat them, the best way is to use explosive attacks to kill them all at once.]

Just as he finished speaking, Ash clicked ‘Flash’ the next second, and then ordered all assault shooters to attack the sea elves first.

The assault shooter, who was blessed with the damage of the lightning element enchantment, cooperated with the elf shooter in the first wave of outbreak and killed more than two thousand sea elves.

Outstanding effect!

“Fortunately, there is not much blood.”

When Ash saw this, he knew what was going on.

Sea elves can recover health, but their health limit is not high, so there is no problem if they are killed in one wave.

But if you can’t kill it, then facing this thing in the sea would be a nightmare.

However, the threat of sea elves is only one aspect. The real mid-to-high-end combat power of the sea clan is the group of dragon-scale people. Thirty thousand dragon-scale people directly boarded the warships and used their physical advantages to fight with the soldiers on Ash’s side. The Holy Legion was lucky because he left a large number of shield soldiers on each ship to protect the elven mages and archers. The Alliance Army suffered.

The claws of the dragon-scaled men were comparable to high-quality weapons. This group of soldiers, who were ‘carefully selected’ by various countries, were not up to standard in terms of warships or armor. They were torn apart by the claws of the dragon-scaled men, and their bodies were torn apart by their claws like tofu. Bright red blood splattered on the deck, and their internal organs fell out. The fishy smell made a large number of soldiers feel uncomfortable, their faces turned pale, and their stomach acid kept coming out.

This is the gap between ordinary soldiers and the Holy Legion. Putting aside their combat effectiveness, their psychological quality is far behind. Among the armies raised by various countries, many soldiers have not even experienced a few battles. They only have quantity but no quality, and they will break at the slightest touch.

Logically speaking, border areas are generally areas with tough folk customs and strong combat capabilities, and are breeding grounds for rebellion in history. However, on the continent of Rhea, because of the consistent style of the aristocratic factions, Ash’s view of the border areas has been reversed.

Fortunately, he led the allied forces to attack in the beginning. The general strategic goal was to use them as cannon fodder. Killing one more sea creature would be a profit.

The only problem is that the dragon-scale people themselves are not equipped with armor, and they rely on their physical fitness to fight, so the “crushing” effect of the will of the god of war Ash cannot be exerted, and the overall combat capability of the army is greatly reduced.

At this time, on the battlefield.

The dragon-scaled people and mermaids charge, the sea elves shoot, and the sea witches use various magic attacks and buff stacking.

On the other hand, the 20,000-strong army of sea monsters also caused a lot of trouble for Ash.

In the previous fight against Ernia, the opponent did not lead many sirens, the troops were not large-scale, and the combat effectiveness was difficult to demonstrate.

At this time, 20,000 navy soldiers were scattered on the battlefield, and mental attacks covered almost all areas. Even the soldiers of the Holy Legion were affected to a considerable extent.

Mental attacks are difficult to defend against and can only be resisted by the soldiers’ willpower. However, in such a dangerous battlefield, if the mind is even slightly distracted, the close combat enemy will chop off the head.

“It’s still hard to fight.”

Irelia frowned. The large-scale sirens were too difficult to deal with. The area-attack mental magic was not enough to kill the soldiers directly, but it could make the soldiers lose their combat capability for a short time, which was equivalent to knocking them out with a hammer and waiting to be killed by the opponent.

[Weinei: If I were here, my mental attacks would be more powerful than theirs! ]

[Phyllis: They have 20,000 troops, how many Venetian do you have? ]

[Anonymous: The difference between the soldiers was immediately apparent. The wills of the Holy Legion soldiers were too strong. Most of them were just affected, but they could still fight. The Alliance soldiers were just a bunch of losers.]

[Phyllis: I was originally a cannon fodder, at least I attracted firepower, but I’m afraid there will be a lot of casualties after this wave of fighting. ]

[Famous general Ash uses the action skill ‘Sky Canopy’ to form an elemental shield that resists magic damage within five action rounds.]

[Weinei: It’s rare to see Ash use a purely defensive action skill. ]

Yaxiu’s main focus is offense, using offense instead of defense. The action skills refreshed every round are basically kill, kill, kill. The skills combined with the Holy Legion’s brutal charge have a very good effect.

But now, he had to use his defensive skills to reduce the losses of his troops.

However, the elemental shield has a durability, and the sea people are not stupid. They will not just watch the siren’s attack being offset, so the 5,000 sea witches who originally focused on gaining benefits gave up the gain buff and instead collectively released group attack magic to wear down the magic shield.

The shield that originally supported five action rounds was broken in less than two action rounds.

Fortunately, this time was enough for Ash to eliminate most of the sea elves, and then draw out the main firepower to deal with this group of sirens.

At this moment, Ash was very glad that he had carried out the massacre on the mermaid territory before. If he had not taken the opportunity to upgrade the skills of the Sea Terminator to the maximum level, there would probably not be much of his army left after this battle.

[You defeated the sea elf army.]

【You defeated the Siren army.】

【…】

【…】

On the strategic map, the number of sea tribe armies decreased rapidly. The sea elves, sirens, sea witches, and dragon-scale people had no intention of retreating and fought until the last man fell.

[You defeated the sea tribe army and killed 80,000 sea tribe warriors.]

Among the 80,000 people, 65,000 are the elite of the sea clan, and the remaining 15,000 are mermaids.

Ash looked at his side. The Allied Army had been reduced to 60,000 men, and the Holy Legion had only 60,000 men left. It was a heavy loss.

[Weinei: With so many people dead, I think we should retreat.]

[Anonymous: Not necessarily. The Sea Tribe has been defeated in battle after battle, and the mermaids have been slaughtered. The number of real core elites of the Sea Tribe is actually not that large. The main force on Ash’s side is still there, and the 60,000 Holy Army has been preserved. There may be hope that they will fight to the end. ]

[Phyllis: Fortunately, I brought the Allied Forces here before, otherwise I don’t know how many members of the Holy Legion would have died.]

[Vine: Woohoo~ Ash is so pitiful, leading the army to fight alone, following a useless king, who is of no help at all.]

“…”

Irelia was furious, thinking to herself, we still don’t know who is more useless between the two of us. Have you ever performed any great feats in the simulation before?

After all, she is the queen and has provided a lot of help to Ash along the way. On the other hand, what else did Vene do except lying down and shouting 666?

Oh yes, if we talk about individual gain contribution, Irelia admits defeat, but she thinks it is embarrassing for a queen to have a skill like “Boss, please help me”.

You are a queen, and if you do nothing, what is the point of your being here?

She would rather not have this ability… No, she can have magical abilities that buff her teammates, but she can’t do nothing.

The scene changes.

Ash led the army to the nearest island and began to rest.

After being at sea for so long, all the soldiers were somewhat mentally exhausted, even those from the Holy Legion. The good news was that perhaps they had gotten used to life at sea, and the various symptoms they had when they first went to sea had disappeared, and they hadn’t contracted any diseases. This was undoubtedly good news for Ash.

[‘Are you still not going to withdraw your troops?’]

In the territory, the Elf Queen Elvian found Ash.

Since the start of the sea battle, the elves have suffered the least losses, because Ash has sent a large number of shield soldiers to defend in front of the elven mages and archers in every battle. However, Elvian did not thank Ash for this, because she knew that the reason this demon protected the elves was because they could provide greater value to Ash.

But up to now, the Allied forces have suffered too much loss. Judging from the current situation, if they encounter a few more attacks like the one just now, they will probably be completely wiped out.

Elvian knew that if a crisis really came, Ash would definitely abandon the elves without hesitation.

[‘In fact, the Sea Clan has been severely damaged. I’m afraid they will not pose any threat to the Purple Spirit Kingdom in the next five years. You can take advantage of this time to lead your troops to conquer other parts of the southern continent and then let the Purple Spirit Kingdom become the emperor.’]

Elvian tried to convince Ash to withdraw his troops.

But the result was not unexpected. She was thinking about how to save the elves, while Ash was thinking about how to win. As long as he could win, nothing else mattered.

[You rejected the proposal of the Elf Queen Elvian.]

[Elvian’s hatred value increases. 】

“This guy is really stubborn. He has not given in for so long.”

Looking at the message prompt, Ash didn’t care. This was a common operation of the Elf Queen. It was almost an inevitable process after each teaching. Every time, Ash liked to see her reluctant and angry face but unable to resist.
