Chapter 192, sniping "Golden Crocodile"
The forces of all parties are ready to move, and the Lane Continent, which has been calm for a hundred years, is once again in chaos.
And all this started in a country called Holger in the south of the continent. It seems that from the moment the unpopular prince of waste arrived in the territory, the invisible wheel of fate began to turn.
He was like a butterfly flapping its first wings, setting off a chain reaction.
The gray dove invaded the south, the Bankaz dilemma, the silver lion's northern expedition, the fourth summit talks, the octopus rejuvenation, and even the cathedral far away in the Holy White Continent is surging....
An era of rising together will also be an era of chaos. After all, good people are not willing to be subservient. And their strength is also worthy of their ambitions!
Like the gray dove that has no last resort, or the great Holy See, or the king of the seven seas...
Each of them has their own goals and plans. And all kinds of schemes, in the collision and a wonderful chemical reaction. For example, the Duke of the Grey Dove and Provence, the King of the Seven Seas, met purely by chance. But it was this chance that made the gray pigeon determined to do something to Holger! Because the octopus has entered the Red Sea from the Benlei River, this inland sea has been completely controlled by the king of the seven seas.
The reason for the cooperation of the Provencal family is also simple. The Grey Dove needs him to defend himself against the Golden Crocodile that may swim against the current, but in exchange, the Grey Dove will also help the Octopus take over the entire Tahiti.
It seems that the king of the seven seas is no longer willing to be king only on the sea, and he also wants to go ashore to have fun... Tahiti, which is ancient and mysterious but relatively backward, is his first choice.
At the mouth of the Red Sea, a three-story galleon with a big black sail is splitting the sea water and sailing towards the entrance of the Benlei River.
The ship, which bows like a galleon like a hideous octopus, belongs to the House of Provence, King of the Seven Seas. Its name is "Black Beauty".
At this moment, the head of the Provençal family, Sada, is standing on the bow of the ship. He wore a dark upper body and seemed to be completely unafraid of the cold. Bushy and unkempt black hair is blown back and forth by the sea breeze. And not long ago, the head of the Provençal family was rumored to be nearing his life, and he would die soon.
But now, he has the appearance of a man in the prime of life to reign in the seven seas again!
After that, he not only quickly suppressed those subordinates who were ready to make a move and wanted to start a stove on their own. The Duke of Grey Dove was also contacted as a temporary ally for his landing in Tahiti.
He knew that the side effects of using an old god's vision in exchange for a return ** were extremely great! So in order to lay a world for his family on land, he can only forcibly extend his lifespan.
And today, the head of the Octopus family personally led the Black Beauty to the upper reaches of the Benlei River to snipe at his ally's enemy, the Golden Crocodile at the end of the four dukes!
Although Philip's plan this time is particularly daring, it is also very secretive. But as the king of the seven seas, as long as he is at sea, no one can escape his eyes!
Legend has it that he was able to control the mysterious creatures of the sea, deliver messages for himself and even fight for him. And the news of the golden crocodile going north was told to him by some small fish going upstream.
The "Black Beauty" cape cuts through the waves, and the speed sails fast! Although the Provençal family only dispatched this sailing ship, they will not fail in this sniper mission! The reason is that the head of the family personally took action.
As long as they are at sea, they are confident that no one can defeat this king of the seven seas!
Philip curled up in the cabin wrapped in his fur. He cursed the cold monsoon wind on the Benlei River as he plunged his foot into the maid's chest.
When he came out to fight and brought a maid to warm his feet, I'm afraid he is the only one in the entire Ryan Continent, right?
This time, due to the desperate situation, Philip chose to lead the team himself.
And he used all the clippers he owned! Among them, the flagship "Hideous Crocodile" he is riding in is also equipped with a magic engine!
This is what Philip bought from the Halfling Continent at a great price. This magic engine will keep your boat moving fast without wind or headwinds! Not only that, but the flagship ship was large, heavy, and tall, and was capable of accommodating nearly five thousand soldiers in total!
Of course, Philip didn't bring that many soldiers, and he couldn't have put all the soldiers on one ship.
His flagship carried only a thousand soldiers of the Personal Guard, and another thousand sailors on board to ensure the normal movement of the ship.
In addition, his think tank also came with three old guys. As for Wells, who was eighty-two years old, he was left in the territory. After all, if the old man is also allowed to follow him to the sea, I am afraid that before he reaches the territory of the gray pigeon, the old man will die, right?
"Damn.... Isn't this winter a little early? It's still nice to stay in the dormitory and flirt with my maids, why am I on this damn Benlei River!? It's all to blame on that damn pigeon! If I don't make a lot of money in your territory this time, I won't be called Philip! ”
Philip grinned and cursed, tightening his fur tightly around his body.
However, just as he was about to fall asleep, there was a chaotic running sound outside the cabin, which shook the wooden hull.
Philip frowned and shouted, "Which one the hell is disturbing my sleep?" I'm going to strip you naked and hang on the mast! ”
With a "bang", the cabin door was opened, and it was one of Philip's personal soldiers.
saw him panting, and said with a nervous face: "Your Highness! Oh no.... Lord Duke! There's a boat coming down the river, and it looks like it's coming for us! ”
Philip raised his eyebrows: "What is there to be afraid of a ship?" I ran it over for me. ”
"No.... I'm afraid not... Lord Duke, the ship flies the flag of the octopus. ”
"What? Octopus?? How could he run to the Thunder River? Shouldn't that guy be in the Seven Seas? Alas... Wait a minute... Red Sea also seems to be one of the seven seas? Damn it! How could that guy be here... Is it confirmed that it is his flagship? Is the old immortal on the ship? ”
The soldier's answer made Philip's face cloudy.
"No, my lord, although it is not a flagship, our lookout can see that there is a man standing on the bow of the other ship, and that body shape is very similar to the rumored rejuvenated King of the Seven Seas."
"Damn... Damn it! Damn it! Duke Ben's plan has been so secretive, but how could he meet that old monster here? I don't know if the other party is friend or foe yet.... Maybe he was just passing by? ”
Thinking of this, Philip immediately ordered: "What is the purpose of asking the other party in the flag?" And said that we can give a certain amount of gold as a way to pay for the journey! ”
"Yes, sir."
After the soldiers retreated, Philip had no intention of continuing to sleep. He put on his fur fur and shouted: "Command all the capital ships to prepare for battle!" Come with me to the deck. ”
The soldiers outside the door gave a military salute and walked briskly behind their Duke to the deck.
It's hard to imagine a scene like this. In front of a huge fleet, just because the other side came with a ship, they all went into action. And it's a performance like a great enemy!
Philip used as many as twenty-three ships this time. Although they vary in size, several of them are converted fishing boats. But it is undeniable that this fleet can already be considered sideways on the Benlei River. The only one who can match it is his eldest brother's Sunflower fleet.
Philip made his way to the control room on the ship's deck, where one of his pirate-turned-soldiers was in charge of piloting the flagship. This man's name is Diem, and his seafaring ability is not bad. But now, after seeing the octopus flag, he couldn't help but tremble in both arms.
"Male... Lord Duke! ”
He saw Philip hurriedly bent down and stood aside.
Philip ignored him, snatching the special lookout goggles from his hand and looking ahead.
Really! A swarthy, three-story galleon appeared in his eyes.
The man at the bow of the ship who was standing was not wearing a shirt, and Philip just shivered when he saw this scene, why didn't he freeze this guy to death!?
Immediately after, with his order, the herald had accurately conveyed the flag to the other party, but he could not get a reply from the other party. And the black galleon was still approaching them at full speed!
Philip bared his teeth and ordered, "Let the fleet spread out to the right and right, and surround this octopus!" I'd rather see if he has only one ship, and is he still going to rob one of our fleets? ”
Although Philip said this sentence sharply, he was really a little unsure of this damn octopus in his heart.... Because the other party seems to be able to really use a ship to rob someone else's fleet! Thought it was on the water ....
Although the Benlei River is not a sea, the lanes and depths alone are almost the same as the sea.
"Brush Brush Brush"
The flags in the fleet were busy exchanging words with each other, and some of the smaller ships were already scattered on the left and right flanks.
Because the river is wide enough, it can accommodate more than a dozen warships at the same time. The faster boat was now approaching the flank of the Black Beauty.
Suddenly! The black galleon's wings flickered, followed by a whistle with a long tail.
Philip's pupils contracted suddenly! The other party actually opened fire!? And what kind of firearm was that black galleon equipped with? Oversized dwarven muskets?
Philip had never seen a dwarven musket fired so far, for the whistling came to an abrupt halt, followed by an earth-shattering explosion and fire!
The "Black Beauty" was full of fire on both wings, and under only one round of artillery salvo, Philip was desperate to find himself trying to surround someone else's flanking warship, and in an instant, two of them caught fire and ran aground there! It didn't work at all!
"! Lean in! Order all ships to attack! ”
Philip screamed the order.
On the bow of the Black Beauty, Saraprovence has a blank expression. He had no joy in annihilating a motley fleet of not elite men on an inland river.
He felt that he didn't even need to use his powers, and that he could destroy this motley army with the dwarf artillery installed on the "Black Beauty" alone.
"Hmph~ What golden crocodile? What are the four dukes? It's just a name. ”
He snorted.
