Chapter 192: Destroying the Withering and Decaying (Part II)
The Emissary Brak is the deputy commander of the Third Fleet of the Shenyang Empire Expeditionary Force, with five large combat warships under his command, they are one of the nine most elite expeditionary forces in the empire, and they are the core force of the empire.

The provocation of that mysterious force completely aroused the anger of this sea overlord, and in the first two months, except for the first royal court fleet, the remaining eight fleets almost poured out! Along the course began the search for the so-called Poseidon force.
But the result was really not optimistic, first of all, they could not find each other's base, and every time they arrived at the place speculated by the intelligence, a heavy fog would rise there, making it impossible for the fleet to cross, and almost none of the ships that ventured into the fog could come back safely!
The situation is creepy, there are more and more legends of monsters, their third fleet was attacked in a place on the Oriental route, when the fog hit, Brack's five fleets were in front of the road, and the main force of the third fleet behind was shrouded in fog, making all kinds of noisy sounds, when Brak's fleet was outside the fog, turned around to look at the position of their main force, the fog continued to hear the sound of artillery and some strange roars, and their five fleets actually did not have the courage to turn back and participate in the battle, Rather, they fled in disgrace!
Later, his group of people came here with the route, and they didn't dare to stay all the way, and when they arrived at this island country, the original fear finally settled down a little, at this time Braque and his men have been in a state of anxiety, abandoning their teammates to become deserters and afraid of the pursuit of the imperial high-level in their hearts, as well as the fear of the inexplicable forces on the sea, so that their nerves are extremely sensitive, until they meet the king of this island country, they become more and more arrogant.
Now they desperately need to vent, and at this time, when they heard that there was a fleet of Ross attacking them, they were originally depressed, as if they had found some breakthrough, and they became extremely excited!
In the fleet, Brak looked into the distance with a telescope, a little anxious in his heart, according to the soldier's intelligence just now, the warship parked on the north shore had been sunk, which made him extremely surprised, in his impression, there was no ship of any force in the world that could only sink the ship of their Shenyang Empire, could it be a sudden attack? Causing their own crew to not react?
Damn, it seems that the comfortable days have been too long, the basic fighting qualities are gone, the elite of the dignified empire, what a shame! At this time, he completely forgot the shame of abandoning his teammates and running away.
Bulak was a cautious man, and to be on the safe side, he gathered all the warships docked in the four ports, and then sailed in the direction of the ships of the Rus Empire according to the intelligence!
He secretly calculated, how many people are there on the other side? How many ships are there? Since you can sink your own warships, there may be dozens of forces, and if you see that the opponent's fleet is too large at that time, you can also consider a strategic retreat.
But when the four of their military ships approached, they found that there seemed to be only one boat in the distance, and this strange situation made all the soldiers stunned, and even the captain did not react, just how did one ship sink his own military ship? This is not scientific!
And..... After he saw the other party's ship with his binoculars, the whole person was stunned, was that a ship? His pupils dilated, a little incredulous, not that the ship was too big and too powerful, but that it was ..... It's so beautiful!
Braque swore that he had never seen such a beautiful ship, even the crafts made by the masters of the empire were far inferior to the ship in front of him, the exquisite wooden hull, and the carved shapes and elegant lines of the ship, like works of art coming out of the painting boat, so beautiful that people were amazing!
If you can bring this back, it will definitely sell for a sky-high price!
"Captain, what now?" The first mate next to Brak asked in a deep voice.
"Tell the second boat to come over, the soldiers and muskets are loaded with bullets, ready for hand-to-hand combat, don't open fire, don't break this boat, this is a treasure!"
"Yes!" The first mate also laughed wildly, and then went to the deck to order someone to say the ship's language, and the second ship accelerated and approached.
The captain of the second ship, a big white man with a long beard, gathered his crew on the deck and shouted: "Pay attention to me, the muskets are well loaded, and the bayonets are ready, let those Rus' dogs see what naval warfare is!" ā
"Hey!" The soldiers all showed confident smiles, even if they didn't rely on the benefits of artillery, they didn't have the slightest weakness, the battle on the ship was completely different from the land, the soldiers of their Shenyang Empire would not only dominate the sea by relying on the advanced ships!
But when they were about 500 meters closer to the other party, they saw that the other party's personnel were all wearing cloaks, standing on the edge of the boat, holding bows and arrows in their hands, looking at their group coldly!
"What are those people doing?" Some soldiers began to scoff: "They actually use bows and arrows!" Oh, my God. ā
Everyone laughed, even if it was the island country they oppressed just now, other people's ships used the artillery that they eliminated ten years ago, although the ship technology of many forces could not keep up with Shenyang, but the basic artillery and muskets were still available, what the hell is a bow and arrow? What year is the obsolescence?
Where did this group of strange people come out, how did they have the courage to provoke their own warships? A group of crew members laughed heartily, and for a moment they seemed to have forgotten that not long ago, one of their warships had been sunk!
"Captain.... They are really ....." The soldier couldn't straighten up with laughter, gasping for breath and about to say something, but suddenly, in front of everyone, he was nailed to the mast behind him with an arrow!
The scene suddenly became deathly silent, and everyone didn't react, how far is this? Is the effective range of a bow and arrow so long? And what is the situation of flying people out with a nail?
The bearded captain also looked at the soldier nailed to the mast of the ship with a surprised face, he noticed that the arrow was not the same as the ordinary arrow, much longer than the ordinary arrow, the general bow and arrow are about 80 centimeters, this arrow is at least 1.5 meters, he is very curious about how the other party pulled such a long arrow? Moreover, the body of the arrow is about twice as thick as that of ordinary arrows.
The most important thing is this range, the first lesson when they learn to use a musket is to learn the history of muskets instead of bows and arrows, since the use of boring and loading, muskets have completely replaced bows and arrows in the Shenyang Empire, they have always mastered the basic knowledge of bows and arrows, the range of the general bow and arrow is between 160 meters and 220 meters, but the farther away the more lethality is insufficient, separated by 100 meters, the general bow and arrow are difficult to shoot through even two layers of cowhide, almost ordinary cotton armor and leather armor can be defended.
And the heavier the arrow, the shorter the range, this is common sense, but such a long and thick arrow is shot by the other party from a distance of 500 meters? And it's terrifying, isn't it?
Before they could react, the terrifying bow and arrow on the opposite side rained down, only a wave of strafing, and the soldiers on the deck who showed their heads, except for the captain who reacted immediately and hid in the cabin, almost none of the others survived!
The opponent's bow and arrow are not only amazingly powerful, but even the hit rate is surprisingly high, and from such a distance, the captain sees that there are almost no misses!
He was about to send a signal to ask for help from the people behind him, when suddenly a huge arrow shot through the heavy ship's plank, directly nailing him hiding in the cabin there, before he died, his pupils were full of doubts, and he couldn't figure it out at all, this arrow was incredibly powerful!
Brak in the distance also had a tingling scalp after seeing the battle situation with a telescope, this picture was indeed weird, he saw for the first time that the empire's sophisticated warship was actually shot by the other party with a bow and arrow, and it was in a posture of being sunk! This TM is a bow and arrow? Cannonballs aren't so exaggerated, are they?
The strangeness of the scene finally made him realize the seriousness of the matter, he finally understood how the first warship was sunk, and he no longer had the idea of capturing this ship alive in his heart!
Immediately called the first mate to say to the ship: the remaining three warships, open fire!
At this time, the scene was weird, but Braque did not panic, he still had great confidence in the warships of the Empire, their ships not only far surpassed all forces in speed and quality, but also in their firearms, ahead of an era, their cannons were specially modified, the range was close to eight hundred meters, well-made, even at the longest distance, their solid cannonballs had great lethality!
Bang bang bang! A neat burst of cannon sound made all the soldiers regain their confidence again, no one could stop their artillery of the Shenyang Empire at sea, this is the common knowledge of everyone since the establishment of the empire!
But the next moment, something happened that ruined their three views, and the exquisite patterns on the wooden planks of the ship on the opposite side suddenly flowed like a lively flow, and then it was visible to the naked eye that countless huge flowers really bloomed, and when their solid cannonballs accurately hit the hull of the opponent's ship, they were actually swallowed by these huge flowers at once.
Let the countless shells not make a single sound!
This extremely strange scene made everyone including Brak stunned, and a thought kept coming to their hearts: "This...... What the hell is this.... What the hell is it? ā
