Chapter 90 Destroyed
Richard slowed down the fleet.
Several giant eagle druids flew from the Elven Empire's fleet, hovering over Richard's fleet, and the sound amplified by the magical power of the Guò was clear to everyone on the ship.
"Richard, and the envoys of the Millennium Empire, you have now entered the territory of the Elven Empire, and you must obey the orders of the royal court, and now, the Great Elven King has sent an order, firstly, you must immediately hand over the twigs of the Golden World Tree, and explain its origin, and secondly, during your stay in the Elven Empire, the control of these warships must be handed over to us, and after we have checked and confirmed that they are harmless, they will be returned to you when you leave. ”
The words of the elven druid made even the members of the envoys of the Millennium Empire look uncertain.
Mina snorted heavily and said, "Give the battleship to them, I'm afraid they won't come back after handing it over." ”
Richard said lightly: "There is no room for negotiation. ”
The giant eagle shouted, "This is the order of the Great Elf King, there is no room for negotiation. ”
Richard nodded and said, "Very good, since you don't want to talk peacefully, then I'll sink you and change a wave of people who are willing to talk, besides, I don't like people flying above my head and forbidding the sky." ”
Several giant eagle druids suddenly screamed, flapping their wings in vain, but to no avail, and fell into the sea like stones, one by one, and one of them bounced on the deck before rolling out into the sea.
This time, the goshawk finally saw a clue: "You changed the rules around them. ”
Richard glanced at the goshawk appreciatively, and said, "It's only changed a little, and it's temporary, just to make their wings ineffective." ”
The elven fleet in the distance immediately sounded a long battle horn, and the main fleet rushed towards the front of Richard's fleet to seize a favorable position, while the patrol detachment outflanked the rear of Richard's fleet like a wolf, waiting for an opportunity to deal them a fatal blow.
The elven fleet was indeed well-trained, and its main battleship was formed in a separate formation during the march, and the speed immediately increased by a large margin, reaching sixty kilometers, and on the side of the battleship, a series of giant ballistae that shone with magical light were ready for battle.
This kind of ballista with a range of up to 10,000 meters is a sharp weapon for the Elven Empire to cross the ocean, when the High Elves were defeated to the Cangqing Continent, its royal fleet defeated the combined fleet of various races at sea, and for more than a thousand years after that, all races no longer mentioned the plan to enter the Cangqing Continent, even now, this kind of ballista is still much more advanced than the ballista of the dragon-blood dwarf or the gray dwarf.
In the eyes of the High Elves, such a fleet lineup is enough to deal with three or five fleets like Richard, and Norland's magic warships have always liked to be huge, but they are not strong, and the High Elves warships at sea are live targets.
Above the elven fleet, there are also strong people rising into the air one after another, they are not only defending the airspace of their own fleet, but also convenient for transmitting information orders to each other, so that the entire fleet can act in unison, but the other killer giant eagle druid formation of the elven fleet, after seeing Richard's strange and unpredictable means of forbidden air, did not dare to send it out.
Richard's fleet was also slowly accelerating, and the shells of several giant metal turrets on the deck slowly opened, revealing square metal rails tens of meters long inside.
Several powerful gunners carried a special crossbow bolt up to three meters long at the end of the rail, stuck it, and then the mages corrected the final number of shots.
The guide slowly rotated, aiming at a capital ship led by the elven fleet.
Nearly thirty kilometers away, the battleship under Richard's seat shook violently, moved sideways for a short distance, and as many as six crossbow arrows shot out, rushing towards the elven warship in the distance.
Goshawk, Mina, and all the emissaries of the Millennial Empire were shocked in their hearts, what kind of range is this.
The crossbow arrows were as fast as lightning, and the elven battleship was still desperately accelerating, trying to seize the battle position, and when it found out that the six crossbow arrows were coming at him, it was completely too late to dodge.
Violent explosions continued, and terrifying fires continued to rise in the elven battleship, and every time an explosion occurred, the two-hundred-meter-long capital battleship would jump violently, and when the six crossbow arrows were all hit, it would simply explode into three pieces and quickly sink into the sea.
In the blink of an eye, except for a whirlpool on the sea, some floating wood and flags, the whereabouts of this capital warship can no longer be found, most of the high elves on the ship have no time to escape, they can only sink into the sea with the battleship, and even if the elves know the water surname, at least most of them are caught into the whirlpool of shipwinches like a winch, and whether they can escape depends on luck.
As soon as the Blue Moon was launched, the warriors immediately loaded with new bolts, and the ship began to increase its speed, quickly exceeding a hundred kilometers as if it were flying close to the sea.
After the Blue Moon, the rest of the Azure and Amber Moon battleships also fired their guns one after another.
A ** crossbow arrow flew towards the elven fleet with the light of death, their bombardment was not as accurate as the blue moon, only about one-third of the hit rate, but the power of the crossbow arrow was too great, and the first arrow would blow up a huge hole several meters in diameter on the elf warship.
By the time all seven battleships had been bombarded in a wave, four of the elves' twelve main battleships had been sunk and three were seriously injured, more than half of which were damaged.
Richard's fleet followed the Blue Moon to speed up at a speed of one hundred and twenty kilometers per hour, which made the High Elves jaw-dropping, draw a large arc across the sea like flying, stop in front of the side of the elven capital battleship, and then slow down, aim, and bombard.
After the second round of bombardment, only four of the elves' capital ships were still floating, and only one was left intact.
Immediately, Akmund's fleet picked up speed again, and began to name the cruisers of the lower class of the High Elves.
The shortcomings of the weak defense of the cruiser are undoubtedly evident at this moment, as long as the ballista is fired in the middle, it is possible to be directly bombed in two, even if the ballista falls high, it can blow up the entire bridge.
Richard simply led the fleet to within 10,000 meters, and the accuracy of the ballista at this distance was greatly improved, and the hit rate could reach two-thirds.
Seven magic warships named after the moon are like demon gods walking in the world, constantly sending opponents to the bottom of the sea, the sea is full of wreckage of warships and floating high elves, the strong men of the high elves in despair, began to sacrifice their lives to launch an assault on Richard's flagship, but under Richard's forbidden space, the strong men below the legend can only rely on swimming to get closer.
They struggled to get close to the Blue Moon, but were shot and killed by the Night Elf archers on the battleship.
One of the two legendary powerhouses had just rushed above the blue moon, and before he could unleash a massive magic, he was slashed by a splash of jump.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the other legendary powerhouse immediately turned around and fled in the direction of the Azure Continent, Richard was not ready to chase and kill, after all, he still needed someone to report to the Elven Royal Court, so that those high elves who lived in the trees knew what was going on.
At this moment, the naval battle was nearing its end, and the remnants of a dozen or so small warships scattered and fled, and Richard did not pursue, but ordered to start rescuing the High Elves floating on the sea, but if they resisted, they would be killed immediately.
The people in charge of the rescue are all night elves, and the high elves stare at these night elves who are very similar to their appearance as if they have seen ghosts, but in the records of the Azure Continent, the last Silver Moon Elves of Norland have perished, and the remaining Silver Moon Elves have already fled to the Azure Continent, so where did these elves come from.
The uniform and powerful power of the Night Elves clearly shows their noble lineage and identity, and such an army is difficult for even several major royal families to match.
There were still more than a dozen seriously injured elven warships on the sea, and Richard had no interest in these antique warships from the elven empire period, so he directly ordered them to be sunk, and then the fleet sailed towards the nearest port city.
In the middle of the quiet forest in the eastern part of the Azure Continent, there stood a huge world tree nearly a thousand meters high, although this world tree was limited by its own race and would stop here forever, but it was also quite close to the Golden World Tree in terms of coverage and divine power.
The Great Elven King Theo Lie lives at the top of the World Tree and rules over all the elves in an area of one million square kilometers.
Under the clear blue sky of the afternoon, a slender bird sliced through the sky like electricity, flew into the silent forest, headed straight for the World Tree, and finally penetrated the ornate palace at the top of the canopy, stopping at the windowsill of the tallest tower.
The Elven King was sitting at the window, flipping through a beautifully printed book of poems, the latest collection of poems by the most famous poet of the royal court, Farlar Yongge, which had not yet been published, and only a few Elven Kings could receive his personal gifts to gather opinions, or praises.
Theo Lie is completely immersed in the realm of poetry, which describes the scene of the great army of the elven empire in its heyday, the poem is written in the language of the gods, and contains the power of the rules of extremely powerful spiritual magic, which can make the reader involuntarily imagine the scene depicted in the poem.
Such a collection of poems has become equivalent to a top-notch magic book, and it takes a huge amount of time and effort for Faral to copy each one, so there will be no more than ten handwritten manuscripts from Yongge's hand.
When the content of the poetry collection is made public, ordinary elves only see the content of the poems themselves, and cannot appreciate the real world in Falar's heart, such a world, only the high elf royal family at the level of the Great Elf King has privileged access, and the elves below the Sanctuary, even if they get the manuscript of Yongge, cannot afford to read it.
The bird landed on the windowsill and handed a delicate glass tube to the Elven King.
Theo Lie's reading was interrupted, his face was extremely unhappy, and he said angrily: "Don't you see that I am reading the poetry collection of His Highness Falarr, if there is something important, you can't wait to talk about it." ”
But the Great Elf King's gaze immediately swept to a bright red line smeared on the glass tube, and his face changed slightly, which represented the most urgent military situation, he opened the glass tube, took out the paper roll from it, and swept it at a glance.
"The Third Fleet of the Royal Court has been completely destroyed. Theo Lieyue stood up suddenly, accidentally knocked over the coffee table, and the priceless book of Yongsheng poems on it fell to the ground with a thud.
