Defying the Fate of Beheading

Chapter 689 363: Mermaid Princess and the Calamity of Lust

"I didn't really keep up with the news on my way here; tell me about it later."The Jiao Dragon Type I is the legendary armor that appeared earlier, primarily intended for surface battles.

However, the Jiao Dragon Type I has only just been equipped on some of the Soldier Tomb Contractors.

In the medium to late stages, Ense will inevitably expand the number of Soldier Tombs.

But at least at this stage, all top equipment and top resources must be concentrated on the core combat forces.

Louis smiled and said, "How is it? How's the performance of the Jiao Dragon Type I on the battlefield?"

Noom Guard Captain looked serious, but his voice was still filled with joy:

"It's really very useful. In this United Navy operation, we achieved the most impressive results with the fewest people. It's not just other countries' navies; even the Mermaid Empire still hasn't figured out why their front lines fell so quickly."

"Ha, it seems that even the Mermaid Empire, known for the 'Sea of No Fall,' can't play to their natural maritime advantages when faced with absolute equipment suppression."

Noom Guard Captain couldn't help but chuckle, "You're a bit too hard on the Mermaid Empire. Even for them, the weather of lightning and thunder is still a natural disaster that terrifies ordinary merfolk, and you..."

Noom looked at the soldiers standing on the surrounding escort ships.

Such combined combat elites were almost overflowing on Ense's side.

Louis rolled his eyes and told them, "Slow down a bit; there's no need to advance so fast. A slow squeeze will cause more pain for the Mermaid Empire. I'm also curious, what idea did they have to choose to cooperate with the Abyssal Church?"

The reason behind the cooperation between the Mermaid Empire and the Abyssal Church is a mystery.

From the perspective of various countries, they have no reason to partner with such an infamous group.

But reality is stranger than fiction.

"Let's go, there's another battle today. You came here to see the battlefield performance of the Jiao Dragon Type I, right?"

...

The group soon headed to the United Navy frontline.

The offensive of the United Navy today is primarily led by the Ense Empire and the Dragon Empire.

As for other smaller countries, they can be ignored.

When the royal ship of the Ense Empire charged into battle, protected by a fleet of magic ships, cheers echoed around.

Louis looked at the Little Swan and said, "It seems you've really made a significant impact recently."

The Little Swan puffed out her chest and said, "Of course, you should know who I am; no one understands magical combat better than I do."

Louis' fingers itched, almost attempting to mimic someone's gesture.

Fortunately, he restrained himself with strong willpower.

But what Little Swan said was true.

The Storm Roarers, Thunder Roarers, and Deep Water Roarers, the three specialized models of the Jiao Dragon Type I, harness the magical power of the armor to control the elements.

In the realm of magical combat, there are very few within the entire empire who can match the Little Swan.

It's somewhat embarrassing to admit.

Louis realized after becoming a Jade Phoenix Mage that in the pure use of magic, he would likely never match the Little Swan in this lifetime.

Nor are other Jade Phoenix Mages much better.

Indeed, the Jade Phoenix Mages are also spellcasters.

But there are differences even among spellcasters.

The Jade Phoenix Mages clearly follow the path of "achieving spell effects through martial skills."

Their combat prowess is strong, even capable of expelling non-Star Continent creatures.

But they are ultimately not purely theoretical mages.

The Jade Phoenix Mages elevate the lower limit of spell intensity, but the upper limit must still be determined by traditional mages.

Although Olivia is still the pitiable girl subdued by the violent prince, hiding under the covers, weeping silently at night, with tears soaking a large area of the sheets.

In the White Tower, however, the mages must respectfully address her as "Lady."

The benefit of the lazy time-incarnation in spell research is significant, not to mention that the Little Swan, by willingly becoming a puff, gained a wealth of magic theory and spell models from Louis...

Knowledge doesn't deceive, and for a mage, it can be converted into pure, powerful strength.

In today's war, the Little Swan demonstrated what it means to exert control from start to finish.

The Mermaid Empire had no shortage of Ocean Mages; they could wield power in the Fallen Star Sea far surpassing other countries.

But all of this quickly fell behind in the face of contracted soldiers of Ense's magic ship formations.

The Storm, Thunder, and Deep Water Roarers activated simultaneously, with the blood energy converted to supply the magic power of the armor—and the empire has over a thousand sets of such systematic legendary armor.

Unleashed upon the ocean, the spectacle is like an apocalypse.

Gale winds howled, torrential rain poured, transforming the entire ocean into a majestic purple.

Countless marine creatures summoned by the Mermaid Empire were cleared away.

All these years, the Mermaid Empire has strengthened its control over the ocean through various means, only to have a breach torn open under the brute force.

Mermaid Princess Alicia looked at the chaotic scene underwater, her eyes flickering with fear.

She turned to look at Fishman General Tim and said, "General, we need to dispatch the Ocean Dragon and Snake Corps. At this rate, we're turning our already scarce citizens into mere expendables."
