Chapter 552 Can't Be Counted On
"Launch!" Amid the roar of the sailors on which the sun never sets, 14 No. 3 trebuchets threw the stones of the 40th round towards the port of Beaune. The 2 Defending Giant Crossbow Operators on the side had already reasonably destroyed the 5th Goblin Return Cannon of their target, and then began to turn their target to the 11th Goblin Return Cannon that they were about to destroy.
"Your Excellency Orso, this is the information that the battlefield spies have counted before, and it seems that we have bombed all the defenses of Bonne Harbor." A gruff figure rang out, and Pierce, the captain of the Royal Victory, limped out of the cabin and handed Orso a piece of information that had just been sealed in red wax to Orso.
“…… These orcs are really smart, but they are mistaken by cleverness! Originally, if they used the inland fire extinguishing method of the southern continent to bury the Greek fire with sand, then the Greek fire would not be a threat, but these orcs went to use sea water to extinguish the Greek fire, and the fire was not only not extinguished, but also spread. After tearing up the documents in the envelope and throwing them into the water, Orso couldn't help but laugh.
"However, it has to be said that the defense capability of this port of Beaune is worthy of the ports of the Crescent Empire's Bunoir and Gemaya ports, and it is not at all comparable to those poor jingling ports of Jeddah and Amba. Now I am even more determined to bulldoze this port. ”
"But wouldn't it be nice for Lord Orso to do this?" Pierce frowned and said: "The Crescent Empire wants us to give them this most important port for the Orc Empire, but after we bulldoze this port, we leave a ruin to the Crescent Empire, won't it ............?"
In this regard, Orso said with a nonchalant face: "Watch out for what? Anyway, the agreement didn't say that our fleet can't be bulldozed by the sunset, anyway, I'll tell the crescent side at that time, because the previous battle was too fierce and the resistance of the orcs was extremely tenacious, in the end, these cunning orcs were hiding in the house to fight against our army's Naga Foreign Legion, and they had to beat Bona Harbor into ruins in order to reduce the casualties of our soldiers, and they didn't contribute just to watch the battle in the rear, I don't think they would talk too much, right? Besides, in fact, we're also for the Crescent Empire, okay? ”
"Not good for them yet?" Pierce looked at his boss with disdain, although he had only been in contact with the old captain for half a year, but in fact, Pierce, who was younger than him, had already known that the person in front of him was simply a thick-skinned existence comparable to a city wall in the past half a year or so.
As for Pierce's gaze, Orso said disapprerovingly: "That's right, think about it, although those human warriors of the Crescent Empire have many years of experience in fighting with sand pirates, but sand thieves belong to sand pirates, although most of them are composed of orcs, but can these orcs really be compared with those strong orc warriors equipped with sophisticated plate armor and heavy weapons?" I estimate that half of the fully equipped strong orc army is enough to kill the entire human regular heavy infantry regiment of the Crescent Empire, as for those bean sprouts of the elite clan, the long-range aspect is fine, but as long as it is close, it will be a tragedy, and now the crescent elves can only bully the two-legged dragon knights of the orcs in the air cavalry. ”
"So to sum up, even if we now lay down Bona Harbor for the Crescent Empire, this important port that has no natural dangers to resist inland enemies and whose defense system has been destroyed after the war will definitely not be able to withstand the future, when the Beast Emperor of the Orc Empire learns that Bona Harbor has been captured, in order to preserve the connection between the east and west territories of the southern continent of the Orc Empire, and sends the orc army to recapture Bona Harbor, then the Crescent Empire will definitely cut off the connection between the east and west continents of the Orc Empire for a long time, And destroy the port of Beaune, so I'm just destroying this port in advance for the Crescent Empire's side. I really think that after the end of the First World War in Bonne, the Crescent side should feel us and reward me! It's a pity that because of the time set for me by Sun Linmian, it seems that I don't have time to go to the port of Bunoir to get extra reward, alas.........."
"It shouldn't be your turn to worry about other people's affairs, right? It's still so ...... when you're old Alas! Of course, Pierce only felt that this sentence was just a matter of talking, and after discovering that Orso had probably recovered from his narcissism, Pierce continued to report the situation to Orso: "By the way, Your Excellency Captain, we have 5 warships in this battle, including 1 heavy armor-class Hawkegar battleship that was evacuated from the battlefield because of slightly greater damage to the hull structure, and is now being repaired on the other side of the port of Beaune, in addition to our 5 galleries and 3 heavy-class Hawkegar battleships, the hull of which has also been slightly damaged. ”
"It seems that the equipment made by the goblin clan that is comparable to the dwarf clan is indeed not bad!" After the topic was put on business, Orso's tone began to become serious.
"And according to the information we have gathered, although these goblin weapons are not strong enough to be destroyed, the most important feature of the goblin clan is that they are easy to repair, and it is said that the damaged defense equipment can be dragged back into the battlefield after replacing a few new parts in the hands of the goblin craftsmen. I also sent some young men with good eyesight to observe with monoculars, and found that there are indeed many scars on the goblin equipment operated by those orc warriors today that are similar to those caused by our naval battle scorpion crossbows, and it seems that there should be a group of goblin craftsmen in Bona Harbor. ”
"Actually, it doesn't matter." Orso said lightly: "Anyway, we just need to destroy Bona Harbor to the point that it is no longer usable, and the rest of the matter is not something we have to worry about, how to seize the inner city of Bona Harbor and let those crescent warriors who are about to land worry about it, anyway, we just need to let these orcs have hope for the orc fleet that came to support them, but then again, if the remaining 6 fleets of the Orc Empire in the city, including the leaping fish and the dinosaur, are ambushed, Will its morale crumble in an instant? ”
"I guess so, right?" Pierce smiled and said: "The two-legged wyvern has been restrained by the Pegasus Knight, and the inland troops will rush here, and it will take time to assemble, and their only lifeline is those fleets." ”
"It's a pity they won't be able to count on it."
