Chapter 434: Bloody Battle of Lone Rock City (5)

"Mr. Dunlop!

An anxious assistant rushed into the lab and shouted at Wayne Dunlop, who was comparing test samples, "Miss Aisha is going to take the keel!"

Wayne put down the sample in his hand and said bitterly, "Shouldn't that wanton female pirate stop for even a day?"

After packing up everything in the lab, Wayne followed his assistant to the dock, where he saw Aisha in a fishskin bodysuit, arguing loudly with the staff.

Aisha's tight-fitting leather armor, sewn from shark skin, was snug and waterproof, with a row of holes in the back for the parasite's nerve stings. The leather coat clung to her skin, with nothing else in between.

And for her graceful figure at a glance, the men around her did not dare to make the slightest mistake.

This is because, those who are familiar with Aisha know that this female pirate hides an unruly and tyrannical soul under her beautiful appearance. She could drink the strongest liquor, tell the dirtiest jokes, and smile and chop off any arm that dared to do anything wrong to her.

Wayne approached the crowd and heard Aisha pointing to the warship behind her and yelling, "Are you planning to let this ship lie here like this and never go to the sea for the rest of your life?!"

Someone persuaded him: "Miss Aisha, this ship is still in the experimental stage and cannot be sailed out!"

Aisha retorted: "It seems to me that the quality of a ship can only be tested by sailing on the sea, and sleeping in a dark cave like this will always be accompanied by dust and insects!"

Someone shouted, "Mr. Dunlop is here!"

Wayne pushed away the crowd, walked up to Aisha, and looked into the other's eyes, "Where do you want to drive this ship?"

Looking at the thin and tall scholar, Aisha's voice lowered by three points: "Just take a turn on the nearby sea." ”

Wayne thought for a while and asked, "You want to go to sea, is it related to the war in the South?"

Aisha deliberately avoided the question and asked instead, "Mr. Dunlop, don't you want to try the power of this battleship?"

Looking at the looks on the faces of the people around her, Aisha pointed to the keel battleship and said to everyone, "We have lived here for many months, and our daily work revolves around this battleship...... You've been busy for so long, don't you want to test the results of your hard work?"

Everyone looked at each other and was silent for a moment.

Someone said: "If this warship wants to be in actual combat, it must first obtain the approval of the Cabinet." ”

Aisha said with a smile: "Remember, this is not a real battle, this is at most a voyage experiment. ”

Someone said: "What if in the middle of the war, the battleship is damaged?"

Aisha said angrily: "I'm not the kind of idiot who drives a battleship and drills into the enemy group! I used to be a pirate, and running away when the situation is not good is what I am best at!"

After saying this, Aisha turned her gaze to Wayne's body again: "Mr. Dunlop, if you had worked so hard to raise a hunting dog, would you lock it in a cage, or would you let it out to track its prey?"

Wayne first looked at the provocation and questioning in Aisha's eyes, then turned his head to the side and asked the assistant beside him, "Are the weapons of the battleship ready?"

"Twenty-four spore torpedoes fueled by black powder, which have been tested and confirmed to be usable. ”

"What about the control of the ship?"

"Miss Aisha has completed hundreds of keel connections, and there is no problem in terms of maneuverability and flexibility. ”

"What about the sails and oars?"

"We ditched the previous straight sail and used a spinnaker, and the small paddle at the bottom of the boat was confirmed to work. ”

Wayne turned his head, stared at Aisha's eyes, and said slowly: "It's okay to go to sea, I have a condition." ”

Suppressing the joy and excitement in her heart, Aisha couldn't help nodding: "Please speak." ”

"I will send an assistant to go to sea with you. ”

Aisha smiled and said, "No problem. ”

————————————

Amid the roar of artillery, a solid shell landed on the watchtower on the outer wall of Lone Rock City, destroying half of the building.

The limbs and blood of human beings fell like raindrops mixed with hail on the corridors of the city walls.

Randall shook his head, shook off a piece of intestines that had fallen off his helmet, and shouted to Horn beside him, "Knight, the enemy's artillery fire is too fierce...... Look at the soldiers on the walls!"

Horn turned his head sideways to look at the defenders beside him, and the soldiers of Lone Rock City were so frightened by the earth-shattering sound of artillery that they hid behind the city wall, not daring to move for half a minute, like quails that had been beaten by frost, and could not raise any thoughts of resistance at all.

Then he poked his head out of the wall and looked out.

Finally, Horn arched himself, patted Randall's helmet, and shouted, "Get up, the enemy is rushing again!"

Randall got up from the ground and rushed to the edge of the city wall with an arrow step, and the long sword in his hand slashed diagonally, separating the head of an Imperial soldier who had just climbed the city wall.

Horn led several of his knights to form a small battle formation, rushed into the enemy's group, slashed and slashed, and drove the enemy army down from the city.

In the base of the Ayyubid Empire, Saladin rode on horseback, holding a telescope in his hand, watching the battle on the city walls, his brow furrowing more and more.

"Caliph, General Elem has sent a messenger again, asking for more troops to attack the city!"

Hearing the herald's shout, Saladin shouted without hesitation, "No!"

Putting down the binoculars in his hand, Saladin said with emotion: "More than ten black-armored knights can actually lead a group of recruits to support until now...... What do you think of the laryngeal bones?"

The black-robed man standing behind Saladin's war horse said respectfully: "Your Majesty the Emperor, as I told you, these knights belong to the Knights of the Twilight West, and with their abilities and dragon bones, they once defeated the coalition forces of the Heavenly Father's Church in one fell swoop, and their combat power should not be underestimated. ”

Saladin asked, "Abilities, keels...... How many knights are there?"

Laryngeal shook his head: "I don't know, but it shouldn't be much." ”

Saladin raised his binoculars again and gasped as he watched a black-armored knight tear an Imperial soldier who had no time to escape to shreds with the parasite limbs sticking out of his armor.

The sun is setting in the west, and the remnant sun is like blood.

Standing in the pile of rubble, Horn looked at the corpse under the white cloth and sighed deeply.

A knight walked up to him and whispered, "Garnet was hit in the head by a stray bullet and did not survive. ”

Horn drew a cross on his chest and said sadly: "The day before yesterday it was Newman, and yesterday it was Melvin and Sarai...... Alas, my old brothers, may God grant you peace and serenity, Amen. ”

Randall took off his armor and, with Barbara's help, dug out a buckshot embedded in his arm.

Throwing the bullet in his hand, which was still bloody, into the distance, Randall watched his wound slowly heal, and said to himself, "It's the fifth day......"

After completing the mourning for the dead with his knights, Horn walked to Randall's side and said in a deep voice: "The situation is not optimistic, if it were not for the enemy's deliberate delay, I am afraid that this place would have become a dead place now." ”

"yes. Randall looked up at the gray sky obscured by gunsmoke: "It's a miracle that those Lone Rock City soldiers who haven't experienced war have been able to hold up until now. ”

He turned his head back to the city behind him: "As for the people in the city, they have long been frightened by the artillery fire and the fighting, and the morale in the city is getting lower and lower. ”

Horn sat down next to Randall and touched his wine trough, "There's bad news. ”

"What?"

"Calculating the time, it should be in the past two days, those imperial troops who landed in the north, after they defeated the reinforcements, the next target was only this city. So, tomorrow I must take my men and my men to the north gate of Lone Rock City, meet the troops there, and defend our rear road. ”

Randall looked at Horn and smiled bitterly, "You're going to take someone to guard the North Gate, so what should I do here?"

Horn also had a headache on his face: "I have two suggestions, first, abandon the outer city gates and retreat directly into the inner city, where the terrain is more dangerous and the fortifications are more complete, and second, find a way to restore the confidence of the people in the city......"

Randall simply closed his eyes: "How can that kind of thing be so simple? Even the regent Jennings has given up hope, and has been hiding in the barracks for the past two days and refusing to come out." ”

Horn stood up with a sad face, looking helpless.

Barbara, who had been listening to the two of them talking, suddenly said, "I have a way to cheer up the people in the city!"
