Chapter 544: Jeddah Port

"Captain of the fleet, in front of you is the port of Jeddah, the most important harbor in the hands of the sand pirates in the southern continent." As some golden building shadows appeared on the river bank in front of him, the elven sailor quickly ran to Orso's side and said, and at this time, Orso also saw this sand pirate port in the middle of the two powerful territorial plates of the Crescent Moon Empire and the Orc Great Empire from the telescope.

It has to be said that the port of Jeddah in front of you is much smaller than Orso imagined, but it is also an easy port to defend and difficult to attack.

The port of Jeddah is a natural harbor built like an arc and surrounded by cliffs, due to the small entrance, the port of Jeddah can only allow a maximum of 2 to 3 standard class warships to pass through at a time, and because there is a huge rock in the center of the port of Jeddah, it is impossible for ships entering the port of Jeddah to turn around after entering the port of Jeddah, but need to go through the roughly modified ship mooring area, circle around a narrow circle-like waterway, and then come to the entrance againand from here.

As for the back of Jeddah Port, it is a cliff more than 50 meters high, of course, this is also the largest residential area of Jeddah Port after being transformed by sand thieves many times, and now the sand pirates in Jeddah Port, that is to say, this cliff is now full of artificially dug caves for human habitation, houses with southern mainland characteristics.

As for how the sand pirates in the port of Jeddah transformed the cliffs into residential areas, the main reason is that the sand pirates are composed of all races in the Western Continent, including the elves of the Crescent Empire, and this includes the goblin clan from the Orc Empire, and even the goblin craftsmen in the Mithril Alliance, which was established by the goblins themselves on the west bank of the Auckland River in the Southern Continent and is said to have secretly colluded with the Amba River pirates.

With these big-headed, short, ugly but no less intelligent than mechanically intelligent gnomes, it is not impossible for the port of Jeddah to become sand thieves and preside over the construction of the port of Jeddah. It is said that within this cliff, there are secret passages that lead to the vast desert behind the cliffs, but except for the core members of the sand pirates, no one knows where the secret passages leading to the port area of Jeddah are located.

Backed by this secret passage that only sand pirates know how to enter and exit, and the harbor area can only supply a giant whale-class Hawkgar warship to sail through, and it is also very easy to be stuck at the entrance, plus the harbor area is full of ballistas and trebuchets under the construction of goblins, even if they are besieged as allies of the Amba River pirates will come to the rescue, Jeddah Port has not been captured by any force for so many years, but it is different when the fleet comes.

"Oh my God! What a battleship is this! Quick, hurry up and get the ballista out! And trebuchets! Looking at the huge hull gradually sailing into the port of Jeddah, whether it was the southern mainlanders living in the port area, or those sand thieves in white clothes, they were all frightened by the size of the giant whale-class Hawker-class battleship.

But this is also a matter of course, although the Orc Empire has goblin craftsmen, and goblin craftsmen always like to make things bigger, so that the high-level intelligent creatures in the Southern Continent are used to the appearance of huge warships after seeing too many heavy warships of the Orc Empire, but this size is also limited.

And in the original King Continent, the largest battleship was the giant whale battleship of the Atlanta Empire, and now the volume of the giant whale-class Hawkgar battleship built by the Great Empire is larger than the original giant whale battleship of the Atlanta Empire.

"Captain Pendra! If you sail in like this, will the battleship get stuck? Looking at the rock wall beside him, one of the crew members of the Silver Pegasus asked cautiously.

"Instead of being careful, prepare to attack." Looking at the sand thieves who were still in turmoil most of the right front, and only a few of them had already reacted and started to prepare defensive equipment, Captain Pandra of the giant whale-class Hawkgar battleship said slowly: "However, thanks to the small size of the Crescent Empire, the warships scattered on the exterior of the port have now been blocked by the Hawker assault ships, and the way of the Amba pirate fleet roaming the Oakland River to the port of Jeddah has also been blocked by our main fleet. Now our whale-class Hawkgar battleship alone is enough to handle the defenses of Jeddah Harbor......... By the way, it's time for the bunch of the Transports Fleet to start transporting the Crescent Empire's soldiers to the port of Jeddah. ”

And just as the captain of the Silver Pegasus' transport fleet was in the stage of breaking his mouth, the whale-class Hawkgar battleship that was gradually revealing its hull also began to tilt ammunition towards the port of Jeddah.

The first to attack was the No. 3 trebuchet, which was placed on the bow deck and was usually folded to reduce the footprint, followed by the naval battle scorpion crossbows on both sides of the hull, and the four siege ballestion crossbows placed on the two wings of the middle deck.

Although most of these war equipment are suitable for naval warfare, this does not mean that they cannot be used in beach warfare, the lethality of naval war scorpion crossbows is not high, and it is too wasteful to use these war weapons to deal with those people on the ground, it is better to wait for the ship to get close to the coast and then use the throwing canister to throw asphalt fire canisters to the coast, but with the accurate strike ability of the naval battle scorpion crossbow, it is enough to deal with the defensive equipment in the port of Jeddah, and the hand-held giant crossbow can directly destroy those defensive equipment placed behind the cover, As for the No. 3 counterweight trebuchet, all the defensive offensives that appeared in front of it could not last long under its bombardment.

"I'll plug in! What's going on? "Thanks to the efforts of the sand pirate defenders in the port of Jeddah, a torsion trebuchet made of goblins was finally pushed onto a defensive position with cover, and under the control of the sand pirates, a 200-kilogram stone was thrown at the Silver Pegasus, but the stone that should have smashed directly through the wooden-hulled battleship was blocked after being embedded in the skin of the Silver Pegasus, and slowly fell under the watchful eyes of the sand pirates, revealing the dark steel plate inside the Silver Pegasus.

However, the sand pirate who was controlling the torsion trebuchet didn't stand for long, because on the deck of the Silver Pegasus, a city-defending giant crossbow that had just sunk a sand pirate warship was slowly turning to his side under the control of the sailor on which the sun never set.
