Chapter 1393: Changes and confusion

"What happened?"

At the main entrance of the towering castle, Lei Xiao noticed the abnormality on Bruno Niu's face and stopped moving forward.

"Back to Your Majesty, the Admiral has just received news that the entire fleet we were waiting for has disappeared inexplicably."

Bruno stroked his chest and saluted. Niu's face was full of confusion and solemnity, and he responded: "He, they were supposed to return here this evening, but they have been missing."

"Through the emergency contact of the magic beacon on the sea, there is no trace of them even at several island supply stations in the surrounding waters. That is the only way for them to pass."

"The most important thing is that we can't contact them either here or at the supply depot. It's like they just evaporated out of thin air."

After listening to Bruno's stuttering words, the other accompanying Tauren royal family and ministers also recovered from the shock of Lei Xiao's previous comprehensive upgrade, and began to look at each other in confusion.

Yesterday, the fleet sent a magic communication. Everything was normal. How could it disappear inexplicably at the doorstep?

You must know that although sea monsters are rampant in the sea area around Wuji City, and there are even some sixth-order behemoths hidden in the deep sea, after hundreds of years of fierce battles, these giants will not approach the fleet at all, and they do not seem to be able to shake the fleet. With its existence, what power can swallow up an entire fleet?

Furthermore, even if the fleet was suddenly attacked, a message should be sent back in time to ask for help. How could it be silent?

No matter how you think about it, this is unreasonable and simply unbelievable.

While confused, uncontrollable worry appeared on the brown bull faces of the tauren.

After the miraculous means of His Majesty the Human Race, even though the Tauren's background has greatly increased, it is not difficult, or even very simple, to build a fleet again.

But the most important thing is that most of the people assigned to the fleet by the previous Tauren King are their clansmen and family members. How can this not make them extremely anxious?

"Did you disappear inexplicably on the sea?"

After listening to Bruno's report, Lei Xiao's face also showed a sense of solemnity, and he frowned slightly.

According to Bruno's previous description, Lei Xiao has learned that the entire Minotaur fleet consists of 10 giant sail warships, each of which can accommodate a thousand people. This is the size of a third-level elite legion.

The absolute defensive barrier and the energy-supplying mages on each ship are enough to resist a sixth-level violent attack within a certain period of time. Even if several ordinary sixth-level experts join forces, they may not be able to instantly defeat it. its destruction.

From this point of view, it is indeed puzzling and even terrifying that this impressive force of ten thousand people disappeared silently on the sea.

After all, the vastness of the deep sea itself makes people feel inexplicably uneasy, not to mention that the sea surrounding this land is boundless and unfathomable.

"If it were before time travel, I would have felt frightened and confused. But after experiencing a series of bizarre battles and adventures, the situation is completely different."

"Now it seems to me that this situation is not impossible. There are at least three possibilities."

A flash of deep thought flashed across Lei Xiao's eyes, and he quickly analyzed it in his mind.

The first possibility is the barrier area.

Through previous exchanges with Gracilaria, I learned that in addition to the common barrier areas on the ground, a vast barrier area can also be opened up on the sea, and seawater can even be introduced into it.

Although it is extremely difficult to do all this on the sea, and it is almost impossible for even the sixth-order peak space great mage to complete it, but if it is left over from the Silver Moon Era, it can be explained.

After all, in that period when all races were at their peak, it was not uncommon for demigod-level experts to be able to accomplish all of this.

"Perhaps the fleet mistakenly entered the entrance of the ancient maritime barrier area due to some opportunity, and then passively came to another space. It is not surprising that it disappeared inexplicably."

Lei Xiao nodded slightly and continued to think in his heart.

The second possibility is a mutated dimensional storm.

He had encountered this situation before when he went to the secret realm of Peak Forest for the first time.

At that time, the entire Wood Fairies in the Peak Forest Realm were teleported to another plate, and witnessed with their own eyes the imminent destruction of another group of Wood Fairies, and even almost being destroyed in the same way.

As for the source of the destruction, it was naturally the overlord-level alien lord from another sector who was extremely talented.

"Although I finally succeeded in erasing it, destroying the core of the mutated dimensional storm, and returning everything to normal, I still remember this weird situation that suddenly connected the two plates. It was obviously specially designed for The dueling arenas set up in advance by the lords of different sectors.”

"As for the mastermind behind all this, I think it is very likely that it is the "prompt sound". The purpose it wants to achieve is probably to make all the alien lords deeply aware of the plate war and be alert. Instead of thinking that you are invincible after conquering everything, forgetting about everything and pursuing pleasure. "

"But then again, why does the "prompt sound" do this? "

With his heart full of confusion, Lei Xiao slowly took a deep breath and brought his thoughts back to the present moment.

The most urgent task is to figure out the reason why the fleet disappeared.

"By the way, if it is really a mutant dimensional storm, according to the previous experience of the Fenglin Secret Realm, the entire area displayed on the magic sand table should be blurred."

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao immediately opened the telepathy and ordered Shuang, who was on standby in Bingshi City, to check.

The display range of Bingshi City's magic sand table also covers a part of the sea area. Since the fleet is not very far away from here, it is enough to show the area where it is.

After receiving Lei Xiao's order, Shuang's respectful response soon sounded: "My Lord, there is nothing abnormal on the magic sand table!"

"I understand. If there is any change, notify me immediately."

Lei Xiao heard the voice and nodded after pondering.

As for the third and last possibility, that is the crack of the catastrophe, which is also what he is most worried about.

After all, he had considered this not long ago. Once a crack is really formed, it will undoubtedly be the beginning of destruction.

"My current strength is still extremely limited. If a catastrophe really comes, I'm afraid everything will be destroyed."

Beads of sweat began to seep out of Lei Xiao's forehead, but they were quickly wiped away.

"No, this point should also be ruled out. If it is some kind of crack, it will definitely emit extremely powerful energy fluctuations. The magic sand table of Bingshi City will definitely not have no reaction."

"Furthermore, according to the information provided by Wang Xi, the cracks of the catastrophe will appear in the human territory, and this place is already very far away from the human territory."

"In this case, the first possibility is more likely, but other possibilities cannot be ruled out."

After analyzing everything in his mind, Lei Xiao felt the tense atmosphere around him, and then said: "Everyone, the fleet will never disappear for no reason. The most urgent task is to find the source of the problem. Don't worry, I will stand with you."

Lei Xiao clearly understood that although he denied the latter two possibilities, it was just speculation. After all, each possibility is of great importance and cannot be neglected.

Furthermore, this is also a good opportunity for him to further consolidate the loyalty of the Tauren people.

Therefore, no matter from which point of view, it is imperative to go there in person to check and find the problem.

"Thank you, His Majesty, your kindness will never be forgotten!"

Hearing that Lei Xiao was willing to come in person, the worried minotaurs immediately became excited, and they knelt down again in joy.

"Get up, remember, every word I said must be kept."

Lei Xiao nodded slightly and nodded to the bulls.

After calming the nervousness of the bulls, Lei Xiao immediately ordered Bruno who had just stood up: "Okay, let's go to the port to see the situation first."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Bruno nodded respectfully, took a huge step, and immediately began to lead the way.

After quickly passing through the other half of the city, Lei Xiao and his party rushed at lightning speed and soon arrived at a very large port.

During the advance, Lei Xiao not only ordered the Minotaur army to move closer to the port and prepare for defense, but also ordered Fanny and others to gather their own forces.

After everything was deployed, Lei Xiao looked around. The size of this port was at least twice that of the Azure City, and the various facilities were extremely complete, including large and small defensive fortresses.

I saw that beside the dock, fishing boats and ships were neatly docked, and they were slightly undulating on the sea. There were also many Minotaur soldiers standing guard and patrolling at various places on the dock.

The lighting of the magic light ball reflected a tense and solemn bull face. It can be clearly felt that the entire port was shrouded in a tense haze. The disappearance of the fleet has obviously caused a lot of waves in the city.

Under Bruno's guidance, he came to the highest point of the port. Lei Xiao felt the salty and cool sea breeze while looking at the end of the horizon.

At this time, the evening had already fallen, and the sky was full of stars. The calm sea was reflected with starlight, and it looked peaceful.

However, Lei Xiao clearly understood that in this seemingly calm environment, there was actually an unknown undercurrent hidden, which was the root cause of the fleet's disappearance.

"Bruno, prepare the boat, I want to go and see it myself."

Lei Xiao quickly retracted his gaze and nodded to the Minotaur General, who immediately took action upon hearing the voice.

Looking at the other party's burly back, Lei Xiao fixed his gaze on the end of the sea horizon again.

With his current strength, although it is enough to walk on flat ground within a considerable range, there are many fierce sea monsters here, many of which are often extremely large in size, and Xiaojie's absolute defense barrier will also be greatly restricted. Therefore, for the sake of insurance, it is more appropriate to have a mobile platform with complete facilities.

After all, everything ahead is not clear, and I don't know what is hidden behind this seemingly calm sea.

In addition, according to Bruno's previous introduction, I learned.

The Minotaur has already fully applied the power array to some relatively small ships. The structure is quite similar to that of an airship, but as long as the energy supply is sufficient, the movement speed is extremely good.

This means that the magic power supplied by the group of sixth-level strongmen under his command is enough to make the ship fly at a high speed.

At present, in addition to Bing Lao and Xiao Jie, there are fifteen strong men from various forces led by Jess, Fanny, Shuerte, Broy's alchemy puppet, and Chris.

According to his orders, other strong men above level 5 and even some elite strong men of level 4 are also gathering quickly, and then rushing over at high speed under the transmission of Ice Stone City.

At this stage, the number of ships staying at the dock is relatively limited, and the number of people accommodated is also extremely limited. Sending elite strong men is undoubtedly the best choice.

As for the large number of ordinary legions, they are ready to fight at any time, and some have entered Ice Stone City to prepare for emergencies.

In short, under his dispatch, our war machine is running at high speed, ready to deal with possible crises at any time.

Lei Xiao just thought of this, accompanied by Bruno's hurried footsteps, a medium-sized minotaur ship followed at high speed on the sea, stirring up waves of white ripples.

This is also a three-masted warship, which can be powered by wind at ordinary times, but at this time, all the sails are retracted, obviously ready for magic drive.

At first glance, although this is a medium-sized ship, it still feels quite large. The solid wooden hull is completely coated with a thick brown magic coating, which exudes a frosted texture under the moonlight.

In the sea not far away, another Minotaur fleet has also formed a formation and is cruising slowly, waiting for Lei Xiao's dispatch at any time.

"Your Majesty, other speedboats are also being prepared and supplied, and they will be put into use soon!"

Bruno saluted with his chest and said to Lei Xiao.

"Well done, let's get on board now."

Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and flew out with a group of strong men, and soon boarded the speedboat.

The ship can accommodate 500 people in total. In addition to the 50 Bruno and Minotaur soldiers who are responsible for various parts of the hull, Lei Xiao brought all the strong men under his command, including the 4 ancient dark elf magician squadrons selected by Jace.

According to the perception of the dark elves such as Jace, the nearby area is also within their range of activities.

It didn't take long for other elite strong men to arrive one after another, and then filled the remaining five speedboats.

"Okay, it's time to set off. Let's take a good look at what the reason for the disappearance of this entire fleet is."

With Lei Xiao's order, the six speedboats immediately opened at full power, riding the wind and waves all the way, and rushed straight to the depths of the sea.
