As the time entered April 1st, Sun Lin also ushered in this "April Fool's Day" that only existed in the original world and now no one else knows the Tao except himself. At this time, we don't care about the envoys of the Lenster Empire who are rushing to the road of York, the city of London on the New Delhi Peninsula that is about to be built into a large city, and Nottingham, which has begun to expand into a fortress again, and the human-beast forces that are fighting in the wasteland of the Ancient Continent. When the people of the King Continent ushered in the sunrise of a new day, the four small island principalities located in the northwest sea of the King Continent also ushered in the breath of greed and death, and this breath of course belonged to the mysterious First Fleet of the Sunset Empire that had appeared in the eyes of all the powerful forces in the northwest continent of the King Continent.

At 4:50 a.m. on April 1, the second year of the Imperial New Calendar, when the morning sun illuminated the tranquil sea, the port of the island of the "capital" of the four small principalities on the four islands was hit by a covering blow from boulders and ballistas almost at the same time, and the boulders and fire javelins ejected from the deck of the battleship of Galleria destroyed all the brittle defenses in the port area in less than half an hour, and even because one of the four principalities had the residence of the king of the principality right in the center of the port, And this king's residence is the strongest guardian tower in the port area (for this small principality), so the sad principality king's residence was smashed by the flying boulder in the first time, and the duchy king was nailed to the only wall on the guardian tower after the war by the javelin that flew later, when Sun Lin's soldiers found out about the situation of the duchy king, they immediately carved his situation with the stone carving in the London Christian church at this time- Jesus on the cross is linked together, the difference is that this "Jesus" has been burned into coals, of course, out of faith in Christianity, Sun Lin's soldiers are still very kind to tie him to the cross together and carry out a brief funeral ceremony, and this sad Duchy King is also 4 of the 4 attacked by Sun Lin's navy, and it can be regarded as the best one after death, because the remaining 3 are either smashed into meat sauce by stones and cannot find the body for burial, or they are chopped into slag by an axe in the chaos, and the body can not be found.

The method of this attack is the same as the last attack on York, which is to first use the Galie warship to strike from a distance, then let the members of the Naga Foreign Legion rush to the beach under the cover of boulders and fire javelins, and finally transport all the soldiers on the Galie warship into the city harbor to start receiving, suppressing, and pacifying the inhabitants and merchants in the city. The only difference is that there is no so-called out-of-town troop support this time, and because of the simultaneous attack on 4 island cities, each island is facing only about 500 Naga warriors and a small fleet of only 4 or 5 Gale warships, but this military strength is enough for an island city with nearly twice the strength and defense of the original York City, and although there are fewer Imperial troops on the Gale warship, The combined number of each small fleet is less than 500 people, but this time, each Canadian battleship small fleet has a special cannon fodder unit of about 200 people, a forest axe force composed of mobs and rebels who were captured by the former Yorks.

Like the forest axes in the 2nd Total War of the Middle Ages, these forest axes were mobs and rebels captured by the caravan horse militia in York, and after being tortured by torturers and prison wardens in York, they were sent to the castle barracks in Sardinia, and after the initial integration of the system, they became the current first-line elite assault troops in the hands of Sun Lin. And after the integration, the system also told Sun Lin a new news that made him ecstatic.

"Due to the geographical environment of York City, the user can currently recruit Forest Axes in York City after half a year of York's rule, and when York City is upgraded to a mega city, users can recruit Heavy Axes in York City, but since the main force chosen by the user is Britain and the Papal States, not Russia, the price of user recruitment, Forest Axe Soldiers and Heavy Axe Men will be increased, and the same is true for other units unique to the power of the Dragon."

What really made Sun Lin ecstatic was not that forest axes and heavy axes could be recruited at this time and in the future, but that "due to geographical environment factors............ assuming Sun Lin's idea was true, then this condition also means that when other special terrain appears in Sun Lin's territory, Sun Lin is likely to get more troops from other countries in the Middle Ages 2 Total War, it is better to have a certain territory with American dense forests, then Sun Lin is very likely to recruit the mainstream troops in the late Middle Ages- Adventurer pikemen and adventurer crossbowmen, and even powerful conquistadors. If Sun Lin's territory has a large desert, then it is very likely that he will be able to recruit Moorish fire camel troops, and if he has a strait territory like Constantinople, the elite Greek fire troops will also appear.

Okay, it seems like we're going a little far, so let's get back to the 4 principalities. Although the Forest Axe Men are a unit with a high attack and defense equal to 0, even the worst militia archers in the duke can slaughter them with long-range strikes, but in any case, regardless of the extremely high casualty rate of these Forest Axe Men after the battle, their appearance did buy valuable time for the 500 professional soldiers to log in, and also greatly reduced the number of casualties of the Naga Foreign Legion members, at least these Forest Axes can use their own flesh and blood to plug the gap in time after the Naga warriors retreat due to injuries in front.

Therefore, when all the 4 duke's islands were captured, Sun Lin used the system to browse the information after the joint operation of the army and navy, Sun Lin was surprised to find that in the post-war statistics, the casualty rate of Sun Lin's professional troop members (longbow soldiers + hoplite sergeants + hook and sickle soldiers) did not even reach 300, and the casualty rate of members of the Naga Foreign Legion did not even break 100. However, the four newly recruited forest axe men suffered heavy casualties, and three of them had less than 50 surviving soldiers in the post-war unit, and one unit was completely killed.

Of course, it is precisely because of the sacrifices and efforts of these forest axes that all the archipelago territories owned by the four small principalities were officially incorporated into the imperial plate of the Sunset Empire on the evening of April 1.
