Chapter 637: The Arrival of the Expeditionary Fleet
"Abominable, abominable, abominable! Do they really think that the great empire can unify the Western Regions of the Central Continent? Tearing up the battle report in his hand, the middle-aged man wearing the uniform of the Bona Alliance legislators roared angrily at the Bona Alliance councilors in front of him: "Now, tell me, where did those armies that never set the sun hit?" ”
"Your Excellency, the city of Taino and the city of Bono, which have been captured by the army of the sun that never sets, and the cavalry troops of the side of the sun that never sets are still marching along the coastal line towards Nova at a very fast speed. According to the intelligence, the army brought by the sun does not set this time, and the Kuman hussar troops in the army that move faster and exist in the army of the sun do not set, and it is estimated that in less than 4 or 5 days, we can see this cavalry figure in Nova City. ”
"4, 5 days? Are you lying to me? The middle-aged councilor grabbed the male councillor who was doing the return work and said: "I have trained you the strength of 10 legions, and before the army of the sun never sets invades our territory, 8 of these 10 armies are stationed in the cities close to the commercial alliance, even if the strength of the 8 legions has become about 6 legions due to the fall of Taino City and Bono City, but 60,000 troops are enough to block the progress of those sunset cavalry?" In such a situation, why can they reach in such a short time? ”
"That's because .........." Before Congressman Bona, who was making a report on the situation of the battle, finished speaking, a soldier of Bona ran in in a panic and said: "No, no, Your Excellency! The sun never sets on the air cavalry units of the Great Empire, they are now burning down our granaries! ”
"What?" The middle-aged councillor's face changed drastically after hearing the news, and at this moment, everyone present heard the screams and cries for help of various characters outside the parliament building. And as the middle-aged councillor rushed out of the balcony on the floor where he and the other ordinary councillors were, everyone was horrified to find out. The northern part of Nova had now turned into a sea of fire, and in the sky, the Sunset Griffin Knight, whose body was wrapped in fine plate armor that reflected a silvery white glow in the light of the moonlight, was falling vertically from the sky in turn, and after dropping the ignited asphalt ceramic pipe in his hand, it flew up 2 or 300 meters in the air again.
Although the councillors saw that the Bona Alliance soldiers guarding the city had already rushed out of the barracks wearing a layer of leather armor and armed with compound bows or crossbows, and tilted arrows at the griffin knights who flew around in the air, due to the excellent flying skills of the griffin knights, and the fact that these arrows hit the griffin knights or the griffons under their crotch, it was almost impossible to penetrate the armor wrapped around the griffin knights' bodies. Therefore, although the soldiers of the Bona Alliance fought very hard and very hard, they could not cause any damage to the griffin knight troops on the side of the sun, which can be seen from the fact that the griffon knights of the sun never set have not even killed a single griffin knight since the surprise attack, and even some arrows shot by the soldiers of the North Bona Alliance that fell from the sky not only could not hit the griffon knights on the side of the sun, but also hurt their own people in the process of falling.
"Air cavalry troops? How is this possible? Doesn't it mean that the only people in this world who have air cavalry troops are the Great Empire of Divine Light and the Great Griffin Empire? For what the sun never sets, the great empire will also have ............ Not good! Walls! Just when the middle-aged councilor was gradually losing his soul, a situation woke up the middle-aged councilor in an instant: the middle-aged councilor found out. Due to the fact that the griffon knights who never set on the sun attacked the granary in Nova City, most of the soldiers of the Bona Alliance who were now defending the city shifted their attention to the direction of the granary in the northern part of the city. And that included the Bona Union soldiers who guarded the walls. At the same time, because the scene was so chaotic before, many soldiers were awakened in the middle of the night, so there was almost no one at present, and no one would have thought that the main targets of the griffon knights who never set would be the watchtowers on the city walls, which were slender and high, and could give the defenders good reconnaissance, the war equipment placed on the walls, and the winches in the gate towers.
"Quick! At most, this fire is to burn the grain and grass in Beicheng District, for our army in the city due to a total of 4 granaries, this loss is quite a lot, but it is nothing, now compared to rescuing those granaries, it is the most important thing to keep the defensive weapons on the city wall! The middle-aged congressman said anxiously. After looking at the griffins who had replaced the asphalt clay pots in their hands with No. 1 grenades and began to gallop towards the four walls of Nova City, he turned around and grabbed the Bona soldier who had run in before and said anxiously: "Go! Grain is lost, and we in Nova City can be transported from other coastal cities because it is a coastal city, but those weapons to defend the city are lost. The only money we have to stop the soldiers from setting is gone, especially the winch that controls the gate in the gate tower! Tell the soldiers that while the air cavalry may seem very powerful, the air cavalry is not really good at ground combat, especially when faced with many infantry........."
Before the middle-aged councilor's words were finished, a loud bang sounded in everyone's ears, and then one after another, and everyone present also reacted after a few loud noises, and turned their eyes to the city wall again, and then, everyone's frightened and confused eyes all changed to desperate eyes: under the gaze of all the councilors, including the middle-aged councillor and the Bona soldiers who were caught by him, orange fires began to light up on the city wall and the surrounding area in turn, and at the same time, In the midst of the fire and the continuous loud noise, all the objects affected by the fire, except for the city wall and the ground, were almost all reduced to pieces in an instant2.
"Can't you go!" Although the middle-aged councilor Zhi Lu Dao is now estimated to be able to think about the worst outcome, he himself is still unwilling to give up the last glimmer of hope, and while letting the Bona soldier who was caught by him go to give orders, he stares at the city wall with his eyes fixed.
At this moment, a middle-aged councillor next to him, who may have some thick nerves, suddenly said a puzzle that made everyone feel confused and more uneasy: "Strange, is there something wrong with this group of cavalry who never sets the sun?" Why did they attack fortifications near the sea, and not those near the interior? Didn't the soldiers send fast-moving cavalry units from the coastal line to carry out offensive tasks? ”
"Could it be ............" After pondering for a moment, everyone seemed to think of something, and their faces became even more ugly, and at this moment, the middle-aged councilor who was the leader of these councillors shook his head and said: "Impossible, because our Bona Alliance has had friction with the commercial alliance in trade and military before, so we have long before the sun never sets on the army to annex the commercial alliance, I have already placed all the warships in our naval base on a small island near the periphery of the port of Taino, if the sun does not set on the side of the sea and land to advance, then we should have received the news about the sun does not set on the side of the naval forces, and according to the information collected before, the warships that the sun does not set on now in the king's inland sea are generally not armed transport ships, or armed warships transformed from merchant ships, Even if these warships plus the warships they acquired after annexing the Commercial Alliance, they may not be able to defeat the Burke warships on our side of the Bona Alliance, which are all equipped with heavy ballistas, and I believe that with the usual cautious style of the sunset, they will definitely not send those useless warships to participate in the battle. ”
“………… Are you sure, Your Excellency, that these are the useless warships you are talking about? At this moment, after swallowing his saliva, the previous dissenting councillor pointed to the huge figures outside the balcony that were gradually sailing out of the night fog, one of which not only refracted silver light in the night light, but also emitted a faint golden light on its surface and said.
And when everyone was deeply attracted by the figures of those giant warships, until these huge figures had literally turned into the figures of giant ships that everyone present did not want to see, the middle-aged councilor who had been in a sluggish state before finally reacted, and gasped and muttered: "My God, aren't the Royal Victory and its fleet of the Great Empire on which the sun never sets on the sea?" What are they after entering the King's Inland Sea (because the Oakland River Basin in the southern region of the Central Continent is lined with Gobi and deserts on both sides, and the King's Inland Sea is also very powerful to ensure that many fleets are in a state of disappearance after entering, so the only news of the Inland Sea Expeditionary Fleet of the King of the Middle Continent is the power of the Southern Continent, and the Crescent Moon Empire is impossible to reveal, and the Goblin's Mithril Alliance will not be revealed because it is close to the Crescent Moon Empire, as for the Orc Empire, Would the more xenophobic powers of the Middle Continent believe in the Orc Empire? Not to mention that the Orc Empire has now shifted its attention to the battlefield with the Crescent Moon Empire)"
However, no one could hear what the middle-aged councilor said, because just as the middle-aged councilor was about to start speaking, the Royal Victory and the whale-class Hawkgar battleship beside it had already turned the bow of the ship and aimed the countless black cannon barrels on the left side of the hull at Nova City.
But when the middle-aged congressman spoke, all that was in everyone's ears was the roar of countless artillery fire. (To be continued......)
