Chapter 883: The fight started
Lu Yao returned to Alexandria, and was carefully arranged by Cleopatra VII to quietly enter the palace.
This was the last link in his plan, and he had to take charge of Alexandria himself.
His purpose is simple.
Cleopatra VII used his super affinity to reverse the NPC's perception of the player group, but he didn't expect to go too far, causing the NPCs to worship the player group more and more, and even the army has no shortage of fans who worship the player. This is obviously a huge hidden danger, and if the player wants to take the throne in the future, Cleopatra VII's army will be the first to appear in the lead party.
The best way to solve this problem is to destroy the player's image of invincibility in the minds of NPCs. So the Roman Empire was the best place to work with.
He transferred some of the building ships and fighting ships from the Xanadu Water Division, and he did not hesitate to squeeze out a lot of dragon cannons and matching shells, although this will reduce the strength of the Xanadu Water Division, but this time there is no need to roll up his sleeves in person, just shout 666 in the back when the melon-eating crowd is behind.
The next thing to wait for is for Caesar to send a new expeditionary force to fight those oil tyrants. Both sides had dragon artillery, and the Roman Empire had the advantage on ships and had a big chance of winning. Then once the oil tyrants are defeated, it will be his turn to appear, take over the NPC's worship of the player group, and become the backer of Cleopatra VII.
Lu Yao still far underestimated Caesar's domineering.
Julius Caesar was furious at the successive victories in Egypt, and after receiving the ships and cannons he provided, he formed a new expeditionary force in just two days and headed straight for Alexandria, making it clear that he wanted to wash away his shame.
Unlike NPCs, players have the means to communicate beyond at least several eras. As soon as the Roman Expeditionary Force left the Apennine Peninsula, the oil tyrants had already received detailed information, and immediately happily mobilized their fleets and waited early on the route of the Roman Expeditionary Force.
However, Abdullah struggled with it, always feeling that this battle might go wrong. After all, that soul fade had gone to the Apennine Peninsula before that, and God knows what the hell it would do.
When he was deeply disturbed and hurried to inform the other oil tyrants, he was ridiculed by everyone.
"Abdullah, put away your senseless delusions. Even though he sold dragon cannons to the Roman Empire, don't forget that we bought more dragon cannons and plenty of ammunition from him. We won this battle. "A certain prince, who was once the third country in the world's oil reserves, was so high-spirited that he did not pay any attention to the Roman Expeditionary Force.
Abdullah was helpless. He was deeply disturbed, based on Lu Yao's ability to make trouble, but this was a very subjective issue and could not be used as evidence.
But then again, he also had to admit that this compatriot's judgment was reasonable.
The dragon cannon and ammunition he bought from Zhuya were sufficient, and even if he repelled the Roman fleet one after another, it was still abundant. And he had seen the Xanadu Water Master, and he didn't think that Lu Yao would sell most of the dragon cannons to the Roman Empire.
It is the so-called guilt.
The Xanadu Water Master has made a name for itself, and technical posts on how to defeat the Xanadu Water Master have appeared on various district forums more than once. It can be said that whoever can defeat the Xanadu Water Master will immediately win fame. If Lu Yao sells most of the dragon artillery, this Chinese fleet in Alexandria will definitely become a sweet bait, attracting many ambitious forces to come and pick up a tiger whisker.
If you lose, you will lose some money, and if you win, you will make a lot of money.
If nothing else, just attracting freelancers who like to follow the best can drive people crazy. After all, this is a world where the law of the jungle prevails, and following the strong can more effectively protect their interests from being violated.
The Roman expeditionary force did not give Abdullah more time to tangle. In just a few days, he crossed the Mediterranean Sea and met the combined fleet of oil tycoons in the sea.
Seeing the target appear, the oil tyrants roared and commanded their fleets to press forward. Everyone comes from modern society and is quite familiar with the tactics of strong ships and cannons.
You don't need to calculate too much, you don't need to lay out carefully, you just need to go up and bang the fuck.
That's the NPC fleet, and there's no player messing around.
The first few times the Roman fleet was defeated, the oil tycoons had already made their hands right, and under the intensive artillery fire, not a single Roman ship was able to break through the line of fire. So they took it for granted that this was just a copy of the previous ones, and that it would not be long before they could return to the city and enjoy the pleasure of the people cheering.
However, the Roman expeditionary force gave them a blow in the face.
In just over two hours, the sea was covered with burning wrecks, and the oil tycoons laughed and showed off their achievements to each other, and at this time, a huge fleet under the banner of the Roman Empire quietly appeared in the rear of the combined fleet.
The sheer size of the fleet was quickly noticed by the oil tycoons, but it was too late.
The main fleet of the Roman Expeditionary Force poked out huge oars from the sides of each ship, and the wind struck the rear of the combined fleet like arrows from the string.
Until this time, the oil tyrants were confused. In order to maximize the results before, the fleet was very loose, but at this time, people suddenly asked for ** from behind, and they could turn around and assemble for a while.
So it's almost like a copy just now. The Roman fleet keenly seized this opportunity, took advantage of the situation, and while firing dragon cannons, it divided the huge combined fleet, and then used the local superior forces to annihilate them one by one.
Abdullah was dumbfounded.
He couldn't believe that the Roman fleet could become familiar with the era-changing black technology of dragon artillery in a short period of time. Yes, this is Lu Yao's handiwork, together with Anthony, who has been in the paradise sailor for a long time, plus the future Augustus the Great Octavian, co-directed this big victory.
After almost four hours of fierce fighting, the combined fleet was the first to collapse. The oil tycoons fled the battlefield with their fleets, and Allah could not help the unfortunate ones besieged by the Roman fleet, but they were destroyed.
Abdullah was one of those unlucky creatures, but he was lucky enough to return to Alexandria early. When he was resurrected, he was shocked to find that the people in the city were panicking, and rumors were circulating everywhere that the Roman Expeditionary Force had defeated the combined fleet and was running murderously.
"Damn, why did it get to the city so quickly?" Abdullah was in a hurry, so he hurriedly gathered manpower and sent private messages to other oil tyrants to warn him, while mobilizing manpower to dispel the rumors.
And at this time, some sturdy NPCs in the streets and alleys of the city quietly left the panicked streets and converged into the palace from all directions.
Cleopatra VII was sure that all the spies sent out had successfully completed their mission, and looked at Lu Yao on the side in surprise and joy.
Lu Yao nodded, and then looked at Zhou Yu, who was waiting beside him: "Send troops." ”
