Chapter 485: The Sacrificial Ritual of the "Pig Teammates".
Rear Admiral Lille Walker, who was only thirty-five years old this year, and an "elite magician" who was sitting on the battleship Indomitable, looked at the fragments of the bone dragon that were falling apart in the distance, and suddenly fell into a frenzied state of complacency. Speaking of which, with his current strength, he would definitely be abused by the bone dragon if he went head-to-head, but with the battleship's magic crystal cannon, it was possible. Of course, he himself completely ignored this point, and easily completed the "Unyielding Horn - my Unyielding Number - My Unyielding Number killed the Bone Dragon - I killed the Bone Dragon" This kind of slot is full of slots, but as long as you shake off the discipline and shame, there seems to be a little bit of truth in being cheeky.
The Indomitable Second Class Battleship is the property of the Lille Walker family, but the captain is a retainer hired by the family with a high salary, and Vice Admiral Lille Walker knows that he can't operate the ship no matter how arrogant and arrogant he is, so the individual command of the battleship is very "generous" and completely handed over to his subordinates, and as a commander, he only needs to give an "important instruction" on the "strategy".
According to the organization of the command sequence of the expeditionary force, including the Indomitable under its own ass, plus three battleships and four Tiangong-class cruisers of the Endeavor and Dreadnought, the first avant-garde detachment will be formed, which will serve as the vanguard of the whole fleet, with Rear Admiral Lille Walker as the commander of the detachment. Of course, this is not because the young rear admiral is really good, but because these warships are all the private soldiers of the gate lord nobles, and Lille Walker is the oldest, oldest, highest rank, and highest family status among this group of noble officers.
He sat on the foredeck bridge with a very good view, and looked at the large number of warships that followed behind him. He glanced farther into the air with disdain—the main warships belonging to the center were grinding and forming a formation, waiting for the time to really follow. It is estimated that the daylily is also cold. He shrugged his shoulders in a pretended manner, and said to the people beside him in what he thought was humorous: "Your Excellency Marshal is still old after all. People are old. It's easy to be suspicious, and we should help him make wiser and more courageous decisions. This is also the obligation of being a subordinate. ”
"Yes, young master." The strong warrior who was his servant and also the captain of the Unyielding Sailor said with a skillful flattering expression and tone at this time: "The head of this battle must be yours." When the old people are all retired, you will naturally become a marshal."
“…… Oops, that's too early to tell. Of course, as a soldier, I will also work in this direction. In the face of such a non-innovative sycophant, Major General Lille Walker also seems to be very useful. The corners of his eyes narrowed, but he still waved his hand fakely, making a look that I was very low-key and humble, but I was still very positive.
"Keep the whole fleet on guard. The enemy obviously has some ambush and follow-up moves, but don't be stupid enough to fall into some trap. When he was drunk, he gave another serious command.
Although Lille Walker is arrogant and greedy for merit, he is not a fool after all, and the actions of the undead and the Black Flag Winged Man can be seen at a glance as a trick to lure the enemy into retreating, so naturally it is impossible not to see it.
However, he had to pursue.
On the one hand, it is because the undead's actions just now are indeed a deep insult to the honor and pride of the Lille Walker family for generations. Look at the filthy and smelly flesh on the coat of arms on the bow of the ship. The sailors scrambled to eat the milk, but they had not been able to wipe it off yet. As a nobleman, if the most cruel punishment and discredit are not inflicted on the enemies who offend their dignity, the dignity and authority of the superior will naturally not be maintained. This is probably the price that must be paid as a "nobleman". If you want to be the ruling class, you have to be so tired.
On the other hand, he also has unquestionable absolute confidence in the highest achievement of the Federal Arcane Science and Technology - the floating battleship. He believes. Just stay on this battleship and stay in the sky. Even if there is an ambush, you must not be able to help yourself.
This is more than 500 years since the appearance of floating boats. The sheer confidence that comes from the illustrious history of the zào it has created.
In fact, it is not for nothing that the Federation's floating warships have been destroyed. For example, the evil dragon named Sana for more than thirty years, in Orucello? Before Belencaster personally threw it to death, the floating battleship that was folded in its hands consisted of two frigates, three cruisers, and one second-class battleship.
Another example is the Battle of Yang Halberd Bay fifty years ago. At the invitation of the Vanya Elves, the Federation fleet led by a first-class battleship participated in the tripartite joint "Banditry" operation of the High Elves, the Sea Clan and the Federation. In this naval battle of astonishing scale, the enemy of the coalition, a fallen Naga lord, somehow found the allegiance of two sea emperor-level sea beasts as huge as mountains. Their presence affected the weather at that time, and in the midst of the storm, the floating ship could not take off for a while.
In this battle, the battleship of the first rank was finally sunk, but under the brave captain's brave battle, he also dragged the two Sea Emperors to their deaths.
All in all, the occasional loss of the floating ship is not worth mentioning at all. Moreover, if you carefully judge the previous battle examples, you will know that most of the floating warships are destroyed under the condition that they cannot take off, and the occasional few times in the air are all encounters with dragons, a mythical large flying creature that can slaughter cities and destroy countries alone.
Now, Rear Admiral Lille Walker and the fleet under his feet were in the air, and he didn't think that the other side would find one or two real dragons out - even if he did, he didn't really worry too much, and under the strong watchful eyes of dozens of warships, no matter how strong one or two dragons were, would not play a decisive role.
Based on this judgment, he knew that the other party was in ambush, and he did not hesitate to give the order to pursue, and even did not hesitate to disobey the military order. He knew that in any army, disobeying military orders was a big taboo, but after all, the Federation was not the two imperial countries on the ground where the law of prohibition was strict. In the "free" federation, there are always members of parliament who express "sympathy" for the occasional rise up for "freedom", and although it violates the law. As long as victory can be won, no one will take such a "small problem" as battlefield disobedience seriously.
Alas, it's nice to be in a country of democracy and freedom. Rear Admiral Lille Walker thought so.
The small number of black dead crows behind the palace really began to resist. Like a dense mass of locusts, they charged at the advancing fleet. In the face of such an attack that bordered on death. The gunners on the battleship were very happy, and they were able to get a lot of results with a single shot. Just look at the purple and red magic crystal cannon began to flicker constantly. It's like the light of a large searchlight. With each irradiation, hundreds of zombie birds turned to ashes, leaving behind a scorching and pungent smell.
This kind of pursuit lasted for more than ten minutes, and in this short period of time, the undead may have paid more than 100,000 zombie birds, and all they did was to reduce the fleet's pursuit speed by less than 20 percent.
"Your Excellency Marshal's fleet has also come over." The adjutant reminded Lille Walker.
The young patriarch of the Lille Walker family glanced back and saw that the main force of the Praetorian Fleet, which had formed a sharp formation, was advancing at the same high speed, and it was also quickly entering the mountainous range of Mount Namoa. Iron Rock Canyon, the most important communication artery between the north and the south, meanders beneath the belly of the fleet. It looks like a giant earthworm climbing in the mountains.
"Hey, chase after it. By the time the old man arrives, I may have taken off the head of the other party's commander-in-chief. Major General Lille Walker smiled slightly. He still doesn't know who the other party's commander-in-chief is, but this doesn't delay him.
At this moment when he was complacent, the terrible screams of a large group of zombie birds suddenly rose again from the surrounding mountains. They rose from behind the shadows of the cliffs in the mountain paths, the crevices of the rock walls, and densely packed like the endless roar of a forest fire, turning the entire sky into an ominous black smoke of gray color.
This time. They came out of the fleet right underneath.
"So, is this what is called an ambush?" Major General Lille Walker was slightly stunned, and then smiled dumbly: "What are they going to do?" Bang that rancid zombie head into the belly of the ship? ”
In the case of ships that only sail on the surface of the sea, the bottom of the ship may be the weakest point of the whole ship. But this is by no means the case for floating warships. Considering the enemy under the belly, all floating warships are deliberately designed with armor on the belly, even the city-breaking crossbow is difficult to penetrate. There were even hidden auxiliary gun emplacements and arrow holes on the belly. For suppression and direct strikes on the enemy on the ground.
"What a bunch of whimsical idiots! Order the whole fleet, fire freely! Rear Admiral Lille Walker looked at the "smoke" that was gathering thicker and thicker at the bottom of the ship. A simple order was given in a dismissive tone. He thinks that's enough.
So, in addition to facing the main gun in front of them, they were still aiming and shooting at the fleeing undead army. The gun emplacements at the bottom of the ship also began to glow crimson continuously. The repeating arrows with the magic of fire fell straight into the black smoke, and the explosion sound continued to grow.
In addition, the battlemages on the battleship also joined the sequence of swiping heads, and began to unleash various magical attacks on enemies in front of them or under their feet. For them, it may be a very enjoyable game of design targeting.
The fleet, which was moving at full speed, was surrounded by a large stream of colorful magical storms like ceremonial flowers, as if it was really a festival.
"Even if there are a few strong people with Black Flag Wings, or some bone dragons carrying necromancers and necromantic knights, and they succeed in jumping under the cover of these undead birds, it is not enough for the sailors on the ship to clean up, and such an exchange ratio is completely acceptable. I want to see how many troops the undead of Henas have amassed to withstand this kind of loss after hiding behind the dark canopy for more than a thousand years! Lille Walker thought about it so much that he thought there would be no more problems, and even had the spare time to ask the orderly to pour himself a glass of red wine.
Sitting in the brilliant magic flash, with the defeat of the enemy and his own victory as a drink, the major general sincerely felt that the aroma of such wine would be more mellow and sweet, and his own style would also be on the same list as those famous generals in history.
He raised his glass and made a distant toast gesture to the Endeavour at his side. Through the crystal cups and liquor that were as transparent as the red glow of the sunset, he saw that dozens of black death crows had finally passed through the dense barrage at the bottom of the ship and rushed under the belly of the ship.
"Headbutting?" As soon as he opened his mouth, the sneering expression immediately stiffened on his face.
Those zombie crows that broke through the barrage of the fire net seemed to have a magic source wrapped in their stomachs, and their small bodies were torn apart, but they turned into huge explosions. The power of light and heat, mixed with the dead breath of the undead, brought the bottom of the Endeavour into a whole cloud of smoke and poisonous mist, and it was suddenly impossible to see it again.
Rear Admiral Lille Walker had no time to ask "what happened", and at this moment, he also felt the earthquake shaking and shaking of the bottom of the ship under his feet, and his body involuntarily fell. The glass shattered on the deck, and all the liquor spilled out, red as if it were blood. (To be continued......)
