Wizard From Afar - Chapter 1146
“Enemy ship approaching –!”
The cry of amazement sounded on the surface of the gem River – when the first sharp eyed elf sailor sounded the alarm, the whole Azores elf fleet woke up and found that the opposite imperial fleet had already set out and was attacking them at full speed.
Strangely, the imperial fleet opposite did not form a dense formation in columns or rows. There was a lot of space between the front, rear, left and right of each warship, and the whole fleet was extremely loose.
However, in the eyes of the fleet commander of the Azores elves, this is only the last resort of the Empire’s weak fleet – with less than half of its total number of warships, it is necessary to arrange an even wider formation, so as to have the power of a war.
But it’s a pity… With such a loose formation, I can easily annihilate them one by one like a group of sharks, and be annihilated by ELF warriors with more than two or three times their strength in despair.
The only thing to be vigilant about is the flying imperial castle.
“Release the oars, spread the sails and move forward!”
Keeping a trapezoidal formation, the Azores elves fleet spread out to the two wings and approached the oncoming imperial fleet with great vigilance, just like a “water wall” composed of canvas and wood.
Three hundred steps – the imperial fleet, propelled rapidly by wind and oars, did not respond except at full speed; The deck was quiet, like a coffin.
The slightly frowning elf fleet commander raised his sabre.
“Catapult – Fire!”
The splashing waves are accompanied by the shrill roar of iron crossbows and arrows tearing the air, and the fragmentation of decks, keels and sails… On the surface of the placid gem River, one imperial warship after another is destroyed and turned into fragments floating on the water.
Panicked sailors and heavily armed soldiers fell into the cold river one by one; Before they had time to flee, the arrows of locusts rained like pouring rain.
There was no resistance at all… The Azores were like playing shooting games, hunting sailors who screamed, wailed and struggled in the river; The dark red blood set off one spray after another on the cold river, and then disappeared under the blue and clear river.
The imperial fleet has lost one third of its combat power before it meets the enemy!
The commander of the elf fleet laughed coldly. The attack of the opposite imperial fleet regardless of casualties was just the last dying struggle in his view.
The elf fleet with its oars folded slowed down, deliberately put the rapidly advancing imperial fleet into the array, and then continued to use the quantitative advantage to divide and disintegrate, surrounded one imperial warship after another.
Three warships, one in front, two or so, sandwiched the imperial warship bag in the center, kept compressing, swept their deck with arrow rain, threw iron hooks with ropes in the cries and screams of sailors, and the elf warriors waving swords rushed onto the warship directly along the ropes.
The outcome is divided!
The fleet commander’s face showed a confident smile.
Although as the fleet commander, he was only responsible for the simplest task of “monitoring the gem River and providing support for the army”, he won the victory so easily and was the first army to defeat the enemy. I’m afraid even his highness rodria would be amazed at it?
With such achievements, maybe I can go further and become the leader of the Azores kingdom in the future
“Boom, boom, boom, boom!”
A loud noise came from the surface of the gem River – at that moment, both elves and imperial people turned their heads and looked at the black cloud rising in the sea of fire on the water like some fungus.
The dazzling light enveloped the sky again, followed by the terrible waves – the elves’ warships were cut in two by the air waves like toys, rolled up and thrown into the air by the waves; At the same time of falling, it disintegrated in bursts of mourning and fell into the burning water.
Not only the fleet on the gem River, but also the bain Legion position on the bank was affected; The roaring sea water rushed up the embankment like a huge wave, and instantly broke down the thousand troops of the two long gun arrays closest to the river embankment; No soldier or knight could stand up in the current, and the indestructible formation turned into a plate of loose sand.
The Earl of Fort fury, who reacted at the first time, immediately ordered the whole army to move to the left front and give up the flooded area – anyway, it has become a muddy land. If the Azores were interested in rushing from here to be the target of archers, he would definitely applaud.
The disabled soldiers who lost their organizational system were quickly gathered up and moved to the rear of the front. Three hundred archers and a team of heavy bodyguards were placed behind the flooded area.
After completing a series of defensive measures, Ike, Earl of fury castle, immediately sounded Bain’s marching horn and began to move forward with a neat array of long guns and Bain knights.
“Send orders to lanmallos and regrell to lead the Byrne Knight – there’s no need to wait any longer. We can’t let the enemy take the lead!”
Eckert, who turned over and mounted the horse, gave orders to the flag officer behind him and looked at Sarika Jonah who rushed towards him: “Archduke Boye, please join your silver cavalry and Hussars…”
“Sweep their front, and then lure them to the spear array to crush these scum, right?!” the Archduke of machete rushed to the Boyi cavalry regiment that had already assembled and waited for orders before the count of anger Castle said:
“Those who want to kill rabbits, follow me!”
Waving the “iron horse” long knife, Sarika dropped a word and rode away smartly.
A moment later, the sound of rolling iron shoes swept the whole battlefield!
The boi cavalry who shouted and fought rushed out of the long and strong square, passed the bain knights who were still gathering and waiting, followed by the beautiful back holding machetes and flags, and rode and whipped.
Some depressed count of fury Castle turned his eyes to the count of mountain rock Castle coming behind him: “angert, take the infantry knights to hold down the front and ensure…”
“Make sure the front doesn’t collapse, right?!”
With a proud hum, angel, the count of the mountain rock Castle who swung the big sword with one hand, put the big sword on his shoulder:
“Don’t worry, we’ll replace them when they’re dead!”
With a heroic face, Angus strided across Eckert, leaving him only a figure behind.
With a helpless sigh, Eckert turned his eyes to the flag officer who was still waiting for the order, and couldn’t help feeling a little tired:
“Don’t wait. Blow in the bugle. Let’s move forward.”
“Yes!”
…………………………
When the last imperial warship surrounded was angry with Mars, the Azores elves fleet had completely collapsed – the fleet and flagship were lifted up together in the big bang, and the remaining sailors and warriors did not know what to do in the face of the burning river.
They do not know where their enemies are, because they have exploded; They also don’t know what they should do, because if they continue to stay here, they will either be burned alive or smoked alive!
In the burning gem River, the remaining elves fleet, like a group of headless flies, collided everywhere, fought their own battles, and even killed each other for the opposite purpose.
When one warship wants to retreat tactically and the other wants to die bravely, the only solution the noble Azores can think of is to kill the traitor fool in front of them.
At the same time, the explosion on the water continued – trapped by the instability of igniters and alchemy bombs, the igniters on an imperial warship often could not be burned at one time and needed to be shaken and vibrated again.
The wooden barrel filled with kindling agent floated on the river with the fragments of the warship, and it was very uncertain whether it hit a tangled spirit warship to retreat or to be brave, and then
The flames of the explosion flashed from the thick smoke on the river, accompanied by a violent roar and shrill scream, ejected large pieces of the remains of warships and sailors, scattered and fell to the bottom of the water and disappeared without a trace.
The floating city of horn castle, which approached slowly from the water, became the last straw to overwhelm them and bring despair.
When the iron walled floating fortress rolled over the fleet nearly 30 meters above, even the most courageous Azores elf warriors knew that it would be a massacre!
Without command and discipline, the most important thing is that they have no means to approach or threaten. In the face of the floating city falling from the sky, they can only be a group of lambs to be slaughtered.
The launchers, which were supposed to provide cover for the fleet, were completely suppressed by small wizards on the front battlefield – in the face of the dense bright lightsaber beams, the Azores launchers had to be fully put into passive defense.
Because kyauk lightsaber has a range of 1000 steps… Whenever any elf launcher dares to try to fight back, its position will become the key “care” object of Ayn Rand the next second.
The burning stone cannon, the burning oil tank, the cold iron crossbow and arrow… The floating city moving forward slowly, regardless of cost, poured a waterfall of death rain towards the gem river that has become a sea of fire.
The thick black smoke had covered the whole river, and the frightened elf fleet finally stopped any hesitation and began to retreat all the way decisively.
But the price of exposing your back to the enemy is to become a target.
The Azores, who had just ravaged the imperial fleet wantonly, tasted the same bitter fruit in a moment… Embarrassed, blackened and fleeing with unburned Mars, one by one, like roll call, and sunk by the floating city.
In the hasty retreat of the elf fleet, no one noticed that one of the half disabled warships had been “occupied” by the imperialists, mixed among other warships and “retreated” towards the port of eboden
…………………………
Before reaching the river bank, Loren and his party quickly abandoned the sinking spirit warship and swam to the Bank of the gem river.
This is one of the most important ports of eboden originally. All inland cargo ships of Baoshi River have to park here. Only ocean going ships that can sail at sea can be transferred to the coastal port of eboden at the other end.
After the Azores captured eboden, it became their fleet port… But now there are not many elf warriors patrolling the coast because of the war. No one noticed that such a small team quietly swam ashore.
Most of the elves and dancers in disguise guarded around, while the demon hunters helped the wizard who couldn’t swim. It took a lot of effort to finally land.
Looking at the half dead wizards, the black haired wizard still couldn’t help sighing.
It is unrealistic to expect a group of people who have no combat experience to become night watchmen who are good at sneaking combat overnight.
But even so, in order to improve their survival probability as much as possible, the black haired wizard thinks it is necessary to teach them some basic skills, even if the effect is only minimal:
“Please remember, the basic key of sneaking is not to reach the target smoothly, but to avoid all avoidable battles as much as possible before reaching the target, but it is definitely not to avoid battles.”
“We only kill the enemies that must be killed, ensure that they will not be discovered at the first time when they enter, and then delay each other’s vigilance as much as possible to buy more time for action.”
“The best way to sneak is to sneak silently without causing any unrest or being noticed by anyone. Even after reaching the goal, we should strive not to arouse the enemy’s vigilance in a short time. In addition, although our task is very important, life is equally important, and silent sneaking is the safest of all methods…”
“Poof!”
The sound of a spear piercing his neck stopped Loren’s words.
All the witches and demon hunters turned around. The elves and dancers who had just been in charge of the guard did not know when there were many bodies at their feet. There were also several elves sailors floating on the water who had no time to swim ashore and were speared through their chest and skull.
Looking around at the bloody river covered with plasma, and those elves and dancers with innocent faces and don’t know what they have done
“Why, what are you looking at me for?”
The female elf who found that she had become the focus of attention instinctively stepped back and had no good way: “didn’t you say to kill the enemies who must be killed – they will find us soon. Do you want to run back when we are found?”
As if to prove that she was right, Leah, covered in blood, waved her bloody spear and stabbed the elves on the ground.
The surrounding elves and dancers also nodded in response to their “Lord lottel”.
Loren sighed again and looked at each other. Some wizards and demon hunters who didn’t know what to say:
“Well… What… It doesn’t matter. If one method doesn’t work, we have another; yes, in fact, in addition to what I just said, there is another method of silent sneaking…”
