Chapter 944
"The assassin sent by the Regalia failed, and the enemy has been prepared."
On the flagship of the Elf Fleet, a young Elf holding a monocular telescope to Looking at the port, the corner of his mouth was curved.
The purple gold-rimmed sleeveless windbreaker and burqa set off the tall figure, and the long white as snow hair is tied into a ponytail, which looks very capable and tall; the warriors crowded behind them are holding the ink blue battle flag , The eagle coat of arms outlined with gold threads on the flag, together with the pure white sails, flutters in the sea breeze.
It was quiet on the deck. The fully armed elven warriors stood in two rows beside the young elves, holding their hands on the hilts of their swords and waiting for orders.
"Very well, it looks like the guy on the opposite side named Loren Torino is a man who is very good at deceiving people-he used the assassin we sent to arouse the morale of his warrior, Eboden is already waiting It’s a strong fortress."
With a chuckle, the young spirit Spirit General looked behind him: "It's not worth your praise that even the chief of the Royal Court can miss a human being, Lori."
The chief warrior of the Royal Court, the petite and doll-like Lori Zade stood respectfully behind him, slightly nodded.
"Extremely sorry, it is a capital crime to fail to fulfill Your Majesty Xiong Yingwang's mission." Lijii is willing to bear it."
"Don't be so serious, I'm not accusing you; what's more... just by looking at the color of our hair, I know that I also have the blood of the Zade family flowing through my body."
The young elf smiled indifferently, and moved his eyes back to the distant port: "Besides, if the opponent is too bad, the game will become very boring, right?"
Lori, who was still hanging her head down, neither refuted nor agreed.
Because the other party is the son of Xiong Yingwang... although only the last son.
Rodaria Azores, as the "little Prince", is not as dull as he looks.
On the contrary, in the rumors in the kingdom, he is the most promising one to inherit the throne.
At a young age, he has become a warrior, and has traveled to every corner of the kingdom; he has battled various warriors time and time again to sharpen his blade; poetry, musical instruments, chess art and painting are all exquisite, almost The best example and template of the Azores warrior.
Even the speed of sharpening the mind and practicing the warrior way is one of the very best; if it is not for the royal family to be elected to the "four courts", this little Prince can at least serve as the chief deputy of the supervisory court Post.
It is precisely because of its reputation and outstanding ability that it can take on the important mission of attacking the port of Eboden and opening the door of the empire for the Azores army.
In the eyes of the wizard warriors who support Rodría’s little Prince, this battle is the battle of fame for His Royal Highness Rodría. It is also his official heir to the throne. He will succeed to the throne in the near future. the road!
But Lori Zade served the little Prince not for this reason, but because Rodria had the same white as snow hair color.
The bloodline of the Zade family runs through the opponent's body, and it is a decision within the family to assist him.
She also knew that the other party actually didn't want to get her own help-although she was blind, Lori could still hear their "faces" in a person's voice.
His Royal Highness Rodria sees this war as his own game; he doesn't want any warrior's "assistance", he only needs to execute his orders and loyal chess pieces.
The appearance of Loren Torino gave him a "surprise". He was eager to confront a strong enough opponent; he wanted to win, but he didn't want to win too easily, too monotonously, and too boring.
That’s why he sent a weak spot full of assassin-Loren is dead, then take advantage of Eboden; Loren is alive, and that is what he wants.
As for the warrior's life and death, it simply doesn't matter to him.
Even this war is equally irrelevant to him, because His Royal Highness Rodría will surely win...The difference lies in how much sacrifice and bargaining chips are required, nothing more.
For him, only the "righteousness" that determines the life and death of the entire Azores is important.
Maybe so, maybe...
"Since the opposite party is ready, let's not let them down too." Rodria smiled slightly, looking up. The sun about to sink into the horizon:
"There is still a while before dark...well, let's show them a large enough fireworks display before dark."
"Are you going to attack, your lord?!" The elf warrior holding the dark blue battle flag in his hand stepped forward: "If you make a surprise attack at night, the enemy who is not fully prepared is definitely not our opponent."
"With your permission, I am willing to be the first to put the eagle battle flag on the top of Eboden's tower..."
"No, send all battleships to approach the Eboden Seaport, and get ready for us The launcher with the farthest range is aimed at the enemy’s city wall and the tallest tower." The little elf Prince interrupted the warrior:
"No matter how sudden, the opposite is the empire’s largest port city— -Approaching such a noble woman rashly can only be boring."
"Fearless warriors, put down your right hand holding the hilt, we will not attack tonight;
p>
Tonight, let’s take a good look at how the enemy lose one's head out of fear!"
Putting down the telescope, a sly smile appeared on Little Prince's face.
……………………………………
"The enemy is about to attack." Standing on the observation deck of the high tower, the black hair wizard looked far away The "white line" slowly approaching in the distance, with both hands resting on the wall stacks:
"Lu Sien, let the wing of the sky hunt Fiend to order the ring fortress and the defenders of the castle, waiting for me The flag command here-as long as all the flags on the tower are raised at the same time, immediately pull the chain to seal the sea and keep the enemy out of the port!"
"Yes!"
Lu Sien did not hesitate and immediately executed the order.
"Almost all enemy fleets are large-scale battleships. If the weather is so late and the wind is not enough to prop up the sails, they shouldn't be in a hurry."
Count Eckert observed the movement of the elven fleet in the distance, frowning slightly: "I will seal the port now, will it expose our defenses in advance?"
black hair wizard hesitated For a moment, he shook his head: "No, I'm not afraid that they will attack immediately; on the contrary, if the enemy can take advantage of the night sneak attack, we only need to hit hard once, and the opponent will be honest."
"What we really should worry about is whether the enemy will use long-range projectile weapons to attack the city walls and fortresses in front of us from a position near the sea."
"Once it gets close, the temporary outside the ring fortress The fortifications and the line of defense near the port will not be protected-Eboden’s city wall is very fragile and can’t stand a few rounds of blows at all!" The city wall on both sides of the ring-shaped fortress, which is close to the coast, immediately understood.
"If the Azores’ battleship is really similar to the Empire’s ocean-going ships, whether it’s the ballista or the catapult, you can hit three hundred steps at the farthest distance—pull up The chain can at least ensure that the enemy cannot threaten us without landing in combat."
"So what about our projectile weapons?" Eckert nodded, raised his head and turned his sight to the side of the ring fortress. : "The Corona consul told me that there is a giant catapult capable of hitting 500 steps in the ring fortress."
"I know, but don’t move—Eboden’s time to prepare for the battle is still It’s too short, there are only six such big guys; I’m going to threaten the flagship of the Elf fleet at a critical time, and I can’t move it."
The black hair wizard shook his head and turned his eyes to the sides: "Let The ballistas and catapults on both sides of the tower are ready to draw the enemy’s attention here."
"The tower we are stepping on is the commanding height of the entire battlefield. If the enemy is not stupid, he will Hit here first with a projectile weapon-pull up the chain while he is close to aiming, and surprise him!"
"If the enemy didn't attack the tower, what about the old castle or ring fortress first? Do?" Eckert Count is still worried, and his right hand is holding the hilt: "Besides, you are using yourself as bait. It's too dangerous."
"That's why you want the tower The trebuchets on both sides are ready to give the enemy a little more power."
Loren squinted his eyes and opened his eyes of "beyond perception", focusing on the flagship of the Elf Fleet: "This is a gamble. The bet is who can smile tonight and watch the rising sun tomorrow."
"To fight, it is to see who is'caught', and show more cards first."
Act did not continue to ask questions.
The top of the tall tower blown by the sea breeze is extremely quiet at the moment.
Twenty Byrne Knights formed a "hollow square formation" around the wall stacks, each with a downside down Golden Lion flag on the black background, standing motionless on the spot, waiting for orders.
The black hair wizard stood on the edge of the wall, with his hands behind his back unnaturally, rubbing his fingers and waiting without saying a word.
In the distance on the sea, the elven fleet has begun to move-the flagship is still motionless in place, but the battleship on the two wings has begun to approach, as if planning to concentrate on the two wings to attack the ring fortress and lonely suspension. Old castle on the opposite bank of the river.
Did you guess wrong?
Or is my luck in this battle really so good? The enemy is so stupid to believe that after losing his fleet, Eboden still has no protection against the coast and intends to attack the two fortresses directly?
If so, then you should immediately order to pull the chain; taking advantage of the inertia of the enemy's driving in, hit them completely unprepared first-if you are lucky enough, you may be able to destroy a few battleships.
If not, you will be the first to reveal the cards in this battle.
"The Duke!"
Ackert Count suddenly shouted: "The two wings of the enemy fleet, a total of 20 battleships are parked, and there is no sign of getting closer."
p>"Very good." Suddenly lifts the head, the black hair wizard relaxed: "Be prepared, we will take advantage of the moment the enemy is approaching..."
Huh?
Wait...not slowing down, but parked?
At a distance of five hundred steps from the coast...parked.
Is the opponent just planning to scare myself, not planning to attack immediately, or is it...
"Duke, the frontline scouts are here to report that the enemy’s battleship has something like a ballista The device is being set up!" Act Count’s nervous voice sounded again:
"The parked battleship is turning towards the tower!"
"They... are taking five hundred steps Aim at a position beyond!"
black hair wizard stared wide-eyed.
At this moment, golden red's bright light appeared in front of his vision.
On the sea level dyed red by the setting sun, twenty "pillars of light" soared into the sky, and an elegant and irregular "arc" was drawn over the sea.
next moment, these elegant and irregular arcs come with unknown rays of light and strike them.
"Boom——————!!!!"
Splashing sparks exploded on the city wall and the walls of the tower, the black hair wizard and Eckert were astonished. Count, I only had time to feel the tremors in my feet!
Then they heard the heartbreaking screams and wailings of the soldiers on the city wall below. With the billowing smoke, the flames were already burning on the city wall. rise.
Just a round of strikes, the Defensive Array line that was tight just now has become a mess!
After all, the mercenaries guarding the city wall are not Legion soldiers, who are known for their discipline and patience-this kind of unilateral beating, even without knowing what weapon the enemy is using, is almost a magical and unreasonable attack Way, let them become completely at a loss.
"The order goes on, let the mercenaries immediately plug the gap, send the wounded to the Potion Master there; order the catapult and ballista under the tower to be ready to fight back!"
Surprised and angry Eckert count shouted and threw himself in front of the black hair wizard: "This place is too dangerous, Duke, please evacuate from here temporarily!"
"Let The following injuries are withdrawn first, and I can’t leave—the mercenaries who see me passed away will immediately be defeated.” The frowning black hair wizard lay behind the wall and stared at the opposite motionless flagship:
"The guy on the other side is also waiting for my life."
"But..."
"No, but! Put up a banner and let the following The mercenary watched." The black hair wizard said solemnly without turning his head back: "Tell all the projection troops that they are not allowed to launch without an order."
"The enemy’s projectile weapon can hit five hundred paces away. , We can only expose the target when we fight back now."
Eckert count was silent, and his frown clearly didn't agree with Loren's thoughts.
But he still chose to obey the orders of his duke.
"Don’t be so nervous, Eckert-we even survived the Great Green Sea and Silverhelm Mountain. This is nothing." Pointing to the elven fleet in the distance, Loren barely squeezed out A smile:
"And since the enemy’s projectile weapon can hit so far, the filling speed and preparation time of the thing should be very slow, this time is enough for us to prepare for counterattack by the way... Huh?!"
At this moment, a chill like a void reaction suddenly came, causing the black hair wizard to instinctively turn his head to look.
Just less than a quarter of an hour later, the "projection weapon" on the elven battleship on the opposite side has been erected again.
The next second, twenty golden red "beams of light" lined up and appeared on the sea level.
This time not only Acter, but even the black hair wizard was stunned.
This thing...
What is it? !
