Chapter 662: Battle of England (2)
Just organized, there is no way to form a unified army, it is simply scattered, even if there are exceptionally powerful ancient dragons among them, they will not be able to change their situation due to disadvantage.
War is never a one-man decision, in the case of the Baltic Empire has the advantage, it will not use its own weaknesses to compare with the strengths of the enemy, maybe the combat effectiveness of the army on one ship can not cause too much trouble to a sea dragon, but ten ships can definitely damage or even kill a sea dragon.
In that dragon slaying battle, the weapons of the Baltic Empire have been proven to be able to inflict damage on dragons with the right tactics.
The accumulation of the Baltic Empire for more than ten or twenty years is not something that these forces that are still in the primitive society can contend with, technology and magic have completely subverted this world, so that mortals also have the power above the legend.
Not to mention, in this war, the Baltic Empire has an absolute intelligence advantage, and every move of the enemy seems to be placed under a magnifying glass.
And the other party's everything about the empire is only based on rumors, and they don't know how much power the empire has, how many ships, and how many sea beasts escort it.
The black flag belonging to the Baltic Empire fluttered in the wind on the mast, the storm crackled on the deck, and the thunder and lightning in the sky fell from time to time, and then were blocked by the magic placed on the ship, and disappeared in a flash, leaving a trace of thunder in the air.
"The war has begun. ”
The first battle of the Baltic Empire's navy was greeted by such a formidable enemy, although every one of their warriors and every sailor was victorious, and they all thought that they would be finally established, but the atmosphere brought by the war still made them breathe as much as possible.
"It's coming!"
With Alice's low voice, the strongest ships stopped, and the sea below the ship began to capsize, and a huge sea dragon stood up from the sea with the ship's body on its head.
"You ......"
Without giving the sea dragon a chance to speak, the surrounding ships attacked in an instant, and the stout crossbow bolts successfully hit the sea dragon, and the crossbow arrows were connected to the ship.
The pain caused the dragon to struggle involuntarily, but the bolts and ropes stuck in his muscles restricted his movements, making it impossible for him to dive into the sea.
Bed crossbows and bolts, he hadn't seen them for the first time, those pirates liked to carry these things on their ships, but they often didn't work very well for dragons, because sea dragons not only had scales and skins, but they also had a special liquid on the outside that could reduce the damage of attacks to them.
Weapons and weapons are different, even if they look similar on the outside, but the effect they can play is still very different, in three years, the Baltic Empire's manufacturing process has been comparable to those experienced dwarf blacksmiths, plus the manufacture of these weapons has also made some changes to the dragon, so that these weapons dedicated to the dragon can easily inflict damage on the dragon.
Because of the sea dragon's struggle, the ship on the sea dragon's body began to slide slowly, falling directly from a height of more than ten meters, directly hitting the surface of the sea, and the ship would also be seriously damaged.
"Hold on, hold on, fix the ship to it. ”
The captain of the ship quickly commanded, and one by one the crossbow arrows with ropes pierced directly into the body of the sea dragon, barely fixing the ship to its body.
"What about our water troops?"
Seeing such a scene, Alice turned around and scolded.
Being approached by the enemy and not being discovered, in the final analysis, it is still a dereliction of duty on the part of one's own troops, and one's own underwater forces are not weaker than the other party's coming.
"The other party must have used magic such as invisibility, or melted their bodies into the sea. ”
Bud said beside him.
"Be careful, other sea dragons may do the same, but they may also allow this sea dragon to catch our eye and attack from other places. ”
"Elsewhere ... Wait, maybe. ”
Alice, who suddenly remembered something, raised her head and looked at the cloudy sky, and there was nothing in the dark clouds except for the occasional flash of thunder and lightning.
"Your Highness, do you mean the sky? But as far as I know, sea dragons cannot fly in the sky. ”
Just as the Crystal Dragon can only run on land and cannot swim or fly, the Sea Dragon can only move in the sea, unable to go to the sky and land.
"Yes, sea dragons can't fly in the sky, no matter what common sense everyone knows, I don't know if there is no reason. ”
However, it is precisely because of this that something that is outside of common sense can be called an accident. ”
"It's not necessarily the sea dragon that flies into the sky, there may be other things, ha, it really caught our thinking mistake, in such an environment, we can't send a flying force to explore the clouds. ”
There are dragons and sea dragons and other sea clan troops in the sea, so there is no need to worry too much, and the cloudy sky has become the only weakness of the Baltic Empire's fleet, and the self-confidence generated by its own strength seems to have turned into arrogant arrogance at this time.
In fact, this is the case, but now even if Alice sees through the tactics adopted by the sea dragon, the time is too rushed, and it is too late to deal with it.
Above the fleets of the Baltic Empire, high above the clouds, a dozen wyverns were flapping their wings and flying vigorously, and their pain could be seen on their faces, because the thin air and pressure in the air were torture for them.
These are a subspecies of wyverns, island-dwelling sea wyverns, usually living on the cliffs of islands, feeding on large fish and small sea beasts, and now these sea wyverns hold a large bag full of golden chess pieces in their claws.
Because of the influence of blood, wurms like Wyverns are unable to resist orders from pure-blooded dragons, who have been here to stand by when the Baltic Empire's troops entered this sea.
Now that they are on standby, they can win this war, depending on whether their tactics can be effective and whether they are taken by surprise.
The surprise is now there, and all that remains is to see how the navy of the Baltic Empire copes.
Below the sea, invaders from all the way from the Baltic Sea fought against their local masters, sea dragons against sea dragons, dragons against dragons, and the rest of the sea tribes.
However, it can be seen that the side of the Baltic Empire suddenly gained an advantage, and in just one round, the troops in the English Channel were defeated and retreated.
The ships of the Baltic Empire were shooting at the sea in a frenzy, and even the special ropes designed to target large creatures such as dragons could not completely hold those sea dragons in place.
But the sea dragon was not uncomfortable, each crossbow arrow could tear a piece of flesh off their body, leaving a deep wound that kept bleeding, and in less than ten minutes after the battle began, the whole sea was stained red with blood, and a broken corpse floated up from the deep sea, floating on the surface of the sea with the undulation of the waves.
Spellcasters also joined the fray, not participating in the attack on the sea dragons, but constantly casting magic to make the ship withstand more attacks, more impacts, and not be overturned by violent waves.
It can be said that at this time, the ships of the Baltic Empire could not spare their hands to deal with the attack from the sky, and with the speed of the Harpy, they were already shot down by lightning before they broke through the clouds.
"Do you want to spread the fleet?"
Bud looked up at the sky, no matter what kind of battle the other side takes, the navy of the Baltic Empire has the confidence to respond to all changes with great strength.
However, if the fleet is dispersed now, then those sea dragons who are tied up and have fallen into a disadvantage will have a chance to breathe a sigh of relief, which is very likely to prolong the combat time of this war.
"No, it's harder to do everything when you spread out, Bud, don't worry, I'm here. ”
Alice shook her head, then said comfortingly.
She is still here, and she has not yet made a move, so what it means is that the Baltic Empire still has the confidence and possibility to turn defeat into victory no matter what defeat it suffers.
However, at this moment, dense black shadows began to appear in the sky, although the view was blocked because of the dark clouds, but the people who raised their heads to look at the sky couldn't help but gasp.
A turtle like a hill is falling rapidly, like a huge meteorite burning red flames all over its body, falling rapidly, and at a cursory glance, the number is no less than two hundred.
"It's actually an island turtle. ”
The island turtle is an unusually large sea turtle, the adult island turtle is the size of a small island, and they can also get larger as they age, and it is said that in this crystal wall system, there are island turtles that have grown to the size of a medium plane.
Of course, the island turtles falling from the sky are not that large, but the smallest of them is larger than the ships of the Baltic Empire, and the waves and whirlpools caused by falling from such a high altitude can still completely destroy the fleet even if there is no direct hit.
The sea dragon, on the other hand, can leave the deep sea safely, and then wait until everything calms down, and then come here to clean up the battlefield, kill the surviving enemies, and collect the loot.
"It's really an attack that everyone expected, I didn't expect that I took into account the [Storm], the [Vortex] [Tsunami] [Ocean Current], but I didn't expect that the opposite side was actually [Meteorite], which is really ironic. ”
Storms are adapted by training, and whirlpools, tsunamis, and currents are stopped by troops below the surface, but meteorites ...... In such large-scale wars, Alice's favorite thing is to use spells like [Meteor Shower] and [Meteorite] to attack.
She didn't expect that there would be such a moment when the enemy used her best tactics to deal with her.
"A surprise is a surprise, but a surprise like this is just a surprise. ”
The island turtle that falls from the sky is actually more troublesome than the [Meteor Fire Shower] and [Meteorite Technique], because the island turtle is harder and more defensive than the meteorites and meteors summoned by magic.
"Look at this. ”
Alice waved her hand lightly, only to see those falling fireballs, and the surrounding air was distorted, as if an invisible hand was controlling those falling fireballs.
More than ten seconds later, the meteor shower landed about thirty kilometers away from the battlefield, setting off waves more than ten meters high, making everyone feel a roller coaster-like feeling.
The masts of several of the ships were split in two by the waves, while more of the bed crossbows and catapults placed on the deck were washed out into the sea.
This is indeed a big problem for the fleet, the three sea dragons who have regained their freedom have dived back into the sea, and after that they will not be exposed to the sea, they will only attack in the middle of the sea.
However, this was too far from what was expected, and the attack that could have destroyed the Baltic Empire's naval fleet with a single blow only caused this little damage, and all the sea dragons were very dissatisfied.
In addition to this dissatisfaction, they also realized how terrible Alice was, it was a much more troublesome attack than [Meteor Shower] [Meteorite], and it was easily broken.
However, this dissatisfaction lasted only for a short time, and a cheer rang out from the ships, and the warriors, no matter what they were doing, raised their hands in celebration.
They were not celebrating that they had escaped, but that they had achieved real results since the beginning of the war, only to see that the sea dragon that had rushed out of the sea at the beginning and then was trapped had fallen limply on the surface.
Streams of blood poured out and quickly melted into the crimson sea, where an old warrior wiped his bloodied face with a towel.
The sea dragon has lost his life, but because of his tenacious vitality, his corpse still retains a certain amount of vitality and can still float on the sea without sinking.
Bud, Bud, Bud
Even if he changed from land to sea, even if three years made him more old, even if his opponent changed from a dragon soaring in the sky to a dragon swimming in the sea, he was still the same Bud who followed Beowulf for many years and then shined in the battle of the dragon.
It is true that he is too old to fight for a long time, but his rich experience and sharp weapons still allow him to seize the opportunity to deliver the final blow to a weakened dragon, successfully hitting its vital point and taking the life of the sea dragon.
However, in such a frenzied atmosphere, no one noticed that Alice, who was standing on the boat, looked at Bude's calm figure and lowered her eyes slightly.
