Extraordinary Voyage-Chapter 721 - 621: The Star God Aiyarindir’s Ship

Northern New Continent Coastal Buffalo, Long Island Port.

Swish, swish, swish...

Several hundred soldiers wearing garrison uniforms, each carrying a fine firearm on their shoulders, with a vanguard of ten Heavy Armor Guards, marched in unison like a stream advancing towards the heart of the port city.

Another group of twenty sharpshooters wearing deerskin clothes, each carrying at least three high-quality Kentucky rifled guns on their back. However, these are no longer ordinary sharpshooters, but a special profession among the Extraordinary—[Gunman].

The leader was none other than Militia Captain Johnson, who fled from Buffalo just a year ago.

His son Dick had entered the Lord's Wizard Tower and was about to become a promising Wizard, so he naturally had no worries and simply joined the garrison forces in the territory.

The promotion ceremony of the [Gunman] quickly spread among the Kentucky Sharpshooters in Georgia and the Far Sails Territory.

This promotion ceremony was not complicated and easily formed a combat-effective Extraordinary Profession, quickly giving rise to a group of truly Extraordinary Sharpshooters, becoming a special combat force under Aiven's command with great potential for development.

And as the level of firearms development improved, these people would inevitably become a trump card within the territory!

Beside the long queue.

"General, we have arrived at Long Island Port in Buffalo and are about to use it as a stronghold to steadily advance into the territory as planned."

The highest officer of the Georgia Guard, Peak Official Knight Colonel Robert, and Iron Bone William, dressed in similar military attire, stood respectfully with bowed bodies. In front of them, a semi-transparent virtual image projected from a white crystal transformed into the likeness of Aiven.

This was an instant remote communication [Projection] that only a Tier 3 Grand Wizard could use, similar to the hexagonal bronze device Principal Princeton used back when supporting the "King of Sea Monsters" Kraken.

However, at this time, Aiven's face in the projection looked somewhat unsightly.

During the formal processing of the fief document, while seeing Buffalo as a sure acquisition, Aiven had already dispatched military forces to Buffalo at the earliest moment.

But while these forces were on their way to receive the territory, another large-scale "Spirit Tide Impact" occurred in the New Continent, worsening Buffalo's already stormy situation.

Under the ongoing surveillance of the "Mind Network" controlled by Bess, Buffalo, influenced by the Spirit Tide remnants from the continent's center, saw its population plummet below 200,000 within just a few days.

The number of casualties continues to escalate rapidly, even far greater than what the newly established Georgia Territory faced.

Bess even discovered the presence of a Tier 3 Totem God here. If they had come a few months later, not only would it rival the Bone Hell, but it might have even turned into an empty Ghost Realm. The situation was extremely dire.

Aiven was so distressed he almost spat blood, his face understandably grim, as he nodded to the two commanders and said:

"Alright, I understand. You advance into Buffalo to stabilize the situation, at least ensure the stability of major cities.

I have an important matter here, and it might take a few more days before I can return. If there is any urgent military news, contact me immediately."

"Yes, sir. Besides 'Ghosts' and rebellious Natural Spirits, how should we handle the remaining Ghouls?"

"Kill without mercy!"

"As you command!"

The two saluted with solemn faces.

Behind them, led by the Quasi-Legendary Battleship: Venus, a large flotilla of two-masted sloops and small escort tugboats carrying over three thousand soldiers, hundreds of Flesh Puppets, and a mass-produced army of Skin-Wearing People advanced with overwhelming momentum up the Hartson River estuary.

This river flows north to south through the entire eastern region of Buffalo before entering the Black Sea, providing an excellent rapid troop deployment route, allowing Aiven's forces to quickly exert pressure over the entire Buffalo Region.

The main force came from the "Dragon Cavalry Privateer Fleet," who become officials the moment they wear military uniforms and revert to privateers once off duty, a basic operation for the Dragon Cavalry.

As the military forces under his command continued to expand.

Aiven, being essentially a Wizard Lord, found his situation somewhat similar to other territories and needed a multilayered military system to rise through the ranks. But in practical terms, he wasn't lacking in ordinary Tier 2 Combat Power.

Whether using [Flesh Puppet] technology to manufacture "Heavy Armor Guards," [Activated Skin] technology for "Skin-Wearing People," or [Activated Dead] technology for "Activated Guards," Aiven excelled at them all.

Angie, who had been acting as a primary teacher for the apprentices, had long acquired the ability to independently create [Flesh Puppets]. Now, simply based on [Flesh Puppet] production, they had already reached a total of four hundred Heavy Armor Guards.

With such Extraordinary Power at his disposal, the growth of combat power below Tier 3 no longer piqued his interest.

However.

This recent "Spirit Tide Impact" severely pierced Aiven's soon-to-expand ego.

The New Continent held not only resources but also formidable foes. To soar using this precious land, he needed to cautiously deal with the powerful Iroquois and High-Rank Totem God "Lady Crow" Ye He'er, also residing within the Six Great Lakes region.

Their respective residences along the north shore of Lake Huron and the Manchac Swamp were not far from Buffalo at all.

Everything is easier said than done; the ideals are full and shapely, while reality is lean and bony. Obtaining Buffalo fully and developing it was not going to be easy, and a strong sense of crisis had already arisen in Aiven's mind.
