Chapter 682: Lion VS Golden Phoenix (11)
"Good! That's the angle! Wait for my command to send out the color, and you should also pay attention to the ballista, and do not aim it at the bow of these ships of the Holy Light Empire, which are all steel shells! These ships can only be penetrated by attacking the flanks, decks, and backs, so it's a priority to destroy the sails on the decks of these ships to make them lose momentum! ”
Under the guidance of the officer who never sets, the two minotaur warriors wearing silver half-body plate armor and carrying the giant axe behind them used their brute force to directly lose half of the base and the head of the giant crossbow that had tilted their bodies to face the Great River Valley, and at the same time; Another minotaur pulled out the broken giant javelin stuck in the crossbow trough of the city's giant crossbow, and an extremely agile Evil Eye warrior had climbed onto the warped tail of the city's giant crossbow and used its numerous tentacles to grasp the launcher of the city's giant crossbow, waiting for the order of the officer who was measuring the angle.
"Niu Da, Niu Er, adjust the head of the giant crossbow guarding the city up a little, Niu San, hurry down after installing the giant javelin, your weight will affect the shooting trajectory of the giant crossbow defending the city." After inserting the huge javelin directly into the head of the crossbow trough, the officer who never sets the sun said anxiously: "And the evil eye, you have to remember that this giant crossbow defending the city is estimated to only shoot one more time, and it will collapse due to missing parts and other reasons, and now my left eye is blind, and I can only rely on you, so don't let us down!" ”
Although the Evil Eye understood what the Sunset Officer said, because he could only speak the language of the Underground World like the three minotaur warriors around the giant crossbow guarding the city, the Evil Eye continued to stare at the front of the Conqueror Alliance army on his side after drawing each of the strokes of the Sunset Officer with his slender tentacles. Located at the intersection of the Great River Basin, the first ship of the Maginot Line to be moved in the port area of the city of the war that had been refitted, and next to the ship of the Holy Light, there were dozens of Barrian frigates like the ship of the Holy Light. Loaded with soldiers of the Second Line Pilgrimage Legion of Red Swordsmen from the Holy Light Empire, they marched forward through the wreckage of warships, including the Beagle Warship of the Holy Light Empire and the Arrow Fortress Ship on which the sun never sets.
Previously, the city where the sun never sets and several underworld warriors had already withstood the siege of the 6th Fleet of the Holy Light Empire, the 30,000 winged army of about 30,000 people, and the Divine Light Empire Army, which was constantly moving closer to the Aenubia Islands, for nearly 2 weeks, and on January 4, that is, last night, it finally destroyed the outer defense belt of this armed city codenamed 1, and laid a foothold near the port area, and in the past nearly 20 hours or so, The huge number of troops of the Great Empire of Divine Light were lured by the Cult of Light to fight the side of the Conqueror Alliance, and the nearly 10,000 Minotaur warriors currently stationed in the city plus thousands of Evil Eye warriors cheered up the war of attrition: the reason why before the Battle of the Lower Maginot Line began, the fleet of the Great Empire of Divine Light, located in the northwest waters of the Central Continent, began to attack the Maginot Line extremely fiercely. In addition to part of the logistical problems of the Holy Light Empire, the most important reason is that after the defeat of the Holy Light Empire's fleet in the Lower Maginot Line, it was unable to take revenge on the side of the sun after the defeat due to the arrival of bad winter weather such as the storm at sea in the King's Inland Sea.
As the Great Empire of Divine Light, which declared war on the side on which the sun never set, it was certainly unacceptable to lose the battle once at the beginning of the war, but due to the cold winter, all the sea areas covered by the King's Inland Sea, the entrance to the river basin, etc. It made it impossible for the Divine Light Empire to choose the location of revenge in the Lower Maginot Line and even the entire Western Regions of the Central Continent in the King's Inland Sea area. After all, when it is a cold climate, it is generally the main battlefield of the party on which the sun never sets, and the party on which the sun does not set has cheating tools such as compasses and telescopes. At the same time, the sun never sets, and the great empire is definitely more familiar with this area than when he first arrives. Before, even the Vadano Islands between the Rasman Islands and the Enoch Islands did not know the way, and they had not even heard of it, the side of the Divine Light Empire was much stronger, as long as the commander was not a fool, Bruno would definitely not let this Divine Light Empire warship located in the Western Regions of the Central Continent and the two fleets of the sun never set head-to-head, although his side had 1,5 times more warships and more sailors than the sun never set side, but after all, the long-range firepower of the fleet of the sun never set was extremely terrifying, And the most important thing is that the sun never sets, and the party will not fight with themselves. Its powerful ranged weapons are destined to allow it to use cannibalization to make five fleets disappear into the fog and blizzard one by one.
Therefore, in order to be able to make an excellent score to cover up the previous defeat between the end of the winter in the King Continent, the Holy Light Empire had to choose to launch an invasion campaign against the Great Empire from another angle, and this is the reason why the battle of the Upper Maginot Line started more than 2 months earlier than the Battle of the Lower Maginot Line. And this is also the reason why the Great Empire of Divine Light, after gaining the experience of the previous defeat, sent the Winged Legion to the northwest region of the Central Continent to assist the Sixth Fleet and the Red Swordsman Legion who landed in this area, regardless of the feelings of the Angel Clan.
"It's now! Happen! "In the roar of the officer who never sets, the Evil Eye warrior sitting on the top of the giant crossbow guarding the city just said that his preview was completed, he pulled the firing wrench of the giant crossbow he controlled with all his strength, and instantly shot the huge giant javelin directly at the ship of holy light that remembered the oncoming one, and the huge ship of holy light was also interrupted in an instant, as if it was hammered by the invisible giant with his fist, and in the end, the ship of holy light that was targeted by it before collapsed at the same time as the mainsail collapsed. Let this holy light ship begin to break from the broken part of the body, and this huge crack expanded in front of the sailors of the Holy Light Empire at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally extended to the body of the entire Holy Light ship, and it was at this time that people discovered that the city defense giant crossbow with penetrating power was definitely stronger than the penetration of the No. 2 experimental artillery, and it was actually so good that it not only hit the holy light ship in front of him at the most critical moment, but also broke the keel of this holy light ship by the way.
"Good evil eye! Attaboy! "Looking at the leading Holy Light Ship not only lost more than half of its power under the blow of the Giant Crossbow Defending the City, but also the fighters carried on its hull also let out desperate cries for help because the main structure of the battleship was severely damaged, several people present as long as they were not fools could see how powerful the previous giant javelin was for the Holy Light Ship, and in this case, not only the officer who never set the sun began to cheer loudly, Even the 3 Minotaur warriors and 1 Evil Eye warrior beside him shouted loudly in their own language, although the Minotaur and the Evil Eye chanted, the former was like a few cows barking, and the latter could speak, but because of the body organs of the Evil Eye, it was not able to speak loudly at all, and there was a Minotaur voice covering, so no one could hear the chant of the Evil Eye on the Sunset Giant Crossbow that had begun to scatter parts.
However, at such a moment, the so-called happy and sad things happen from time to time, and these unfortunate people have all encountered them.
"The enemy has started a new round of throwing! Rip off the cliff berm. "Almost as this hoarse roar resounded throughout the city, countless stones flew out from the counterweight trebuchet that had been erected on the deck of the Holy Light Ship and the Pilgrim Battleship in the distance. Maybe it's because the Divine Light Empire has noticed that these people on the cliff berm are the soldiers of the Conqueror Alliance who directly destroyed a Holy Light ship with the half-crippled Defending City Giant Crossbow just now, so this time the Shi Yuqun is all bombarded by several Conqueror Alliance soldiers, and the first one to be shot is the Evil Eye Warrior located on the Defending City Giant Crossbow: This guy and the Defending City Giant Crossbow he controlled were all turned into slag under the bombardment of a boulder weighing nearly 500 catties. The Evil Eye Warrior turned into a mixture of flesh and blood.
"Retreat!" Seeing this situation, the surviving 3 minotaurs and 1 blind officer who never set the sun finally chose to retreat, after all, the deceased is gone, and in this situation, too much nostalgia has no other result except for being able to put his own life into it, so under the sky intertwined with boulders and flints, this team of 5 people to a team of 4 people narrowly escaped the area specially covered by the counterweight trebuchet, and after meeting many scattered conqueror soldiers fighting in the city on the way, Finally escaped to the central square in the heart of the city.
"Isn't Team 11 all dead? Are you still alive? At the entrance, an officer who counted the evacuees asked with excitement and confusion after discovering the blind sunset officer and the three minotaur soldiers beside him, especially the officer who never set sun.
"Ha Luha, I'm lucky, I was buried by a stone before and was taken out by these Minotaur brothers, and I survived." The blind man saluted and said happily, "Hello, I'm Eric, the vice captain of the 11th squad. ”
"Okay Eric, congratulations on surviving." The officer who counted the number of evacuees said, "Then are you choosing to fight or evacuate now?" ”
"Do you still need to ask? Combat, of course! Eric said.
"Very well, then you can report to the left behind me, good luck." (To be continued......)
