Chapter 30: Losing Both Sides (Part 2)

Whoosh!

One arrow after another shot towards the people of the Haitian Sect, 'poof, puff', and blood flowers bloomed.

The minimum damage is two hundred pounds, the maximum damage is one thousand pounds, with the power of the arrows shot by Xiao Li, almost no one can resist it, once it hits, it will die!

In just a few minutes, more than a dozen people from the Haitian faction died under Xiao Li's arrow, which instantly attracted Bruce's attention, and he looked at the young man on the boat, his brows furrowed.

From the big bow of ice and fire, he sensed a hint of danger, immediately roared, drew a big knife, immediately jumped onto a wooden boat, and began to evacuate.

Winning or losing is not the most important thing to him, and he doesn't want to give up his life here, even if it's just a possibility.

After the people of the Haitian faction retreated, Xiao Li drove to the battlefield, looking at the red sea, his brows furrowed.

"Owner......!" Rhys cried weakly, clutching the wound on his chest, not sure if he was ashamed or really injured.

"Needless to say, let's go back first. Xiao Li looked at the sea, sighed deeply, and shook his head.

The blood-red sea was littered with broken planks and floating corpses, and the sailors began to pick up the pieces and save the wounded.

After some counting, the result was a lose-lose situation.

Half of the more than 300 soldiers brought by Chongtian Island were killed and wounded, and more than 100 people from the Haitian Sect died here, and they didn't even have time to take all the ships away.

......

In the port of Chongtian Island, Harriman originally arranged a celebration to welcome the triumphant return of the Chongtian Island fleet.

However, after he saw through the telescope the miserable situation on the ships approaching in the distance, his smiling face instantly turned to ashes, and he hurriedly asked people to withdraw from the activities they had prepared.

As the Chongtian Island fleet approached the port, a group of ordinary people also saw the miserable situation on the ship, and they were suddenly silent.

More than 300 people went on the expedition, and only half returned.

On the dock, I don't know who took the lead, and soon there was a cry, and the oppressive sound of 'woo woo' sounded.

Xiao Li jumped onto the dock with an expressionless face, and walked down the road that everyone had avoided, his heart full of shame.

Then Rhys and Jayden, they stood on the dock and abandoned all dignity, completely ignoring the face of the superior, and cried on the dock with their heads in their hands.

The remaining half of the sailors stood on the boat and supported each other, singing a war song that had just been composed.

The roaring and tearful war song resounded on the dock, and in the crowd, I don't know who gently followed and sang, and then more and more people were infected, and the sound resounded throughout Chongtian Island.

In the days that followed, as the entire island mourned the fallen warriors, Harriman carved a monument and erected it not far from the docks.

......

Next to the Chongtian Island Church, a two-story wooden building rises from the ground, and the carpenters carry a wooden plaque and nail it above the gate.

Chongtian Island Military Academy!

Five Yunnan red characters are deeply engraved on it.

When people passing by saw the plaque, they all rose up with respect.

Xiao Li's thoughts came into his mind, and he made a wish and exchanged for dozens of books on leading the battle.

They will be handed over to the young generals of Chongtian Island to learn in order to give full play to their skills in actual combat, rather than just talking on paper.

If the Haitian faction is a veteran in actual combat, then Chongtian Island is the elite from the military academy, if it has to be who is the strongest, Xiao Li can't say clearly.

In a backward world, the powerful faction may be more practical, and this is where they can make a difference.

However, in a world where science and technology are advanced and advanced, the talents who come out of military academies are undoubtedly the elite among the people, and they will be entrusted with important tasks after graduation.

After the opening of the Chongtian Island Military Academy, a group of young generals began to study, and there were no teachers in the classroom, so they studied on their own. When Nigel heard about it, he came to church and contributed all his experience.

Chongtian Island ushered in a long period of peace, and if the Haitian Sect wanted to invade again, it would be a month later.

During this time, many people joined the institute, paper spread on the island, glass and steel production reached new highs every day, and mirrors were successfully developed.

During this period of time, everyone was immersed in the joy of rapid development, and the fiasco in the naval battle some time ago has gradually faded into oblivion.

On this day, the Navy began to expand its personnel, and the number of applicants broke through the barrier.

At the wharf of Chongtian Island, more than a dozen Caravel sailing ships were moored, and Jayden stepped on the ship with a book on leading the battle in both hands.

"Report to the captain, the personnel have arrived. A squad leader on the ship covered his chest with his right hand, and drove a salute that belonged to Chongtian Island alone, and reported.

Jayden closed the book, his eyes swept over everyone, nodded and said, "I know, let's go!"

One by one, the three-masted schooners set sail and sailed into the deep sea.

It's a catch, it's a drill.

In just half a month, many people on Chongtian Island have successfully promoted to the first rank of spirit disciples, especially in the navy, the promotion rate is more than half.

A large number of soldiers are promoted, which means that more bows and arrows are needed, and a 150-pound compound bow costs 120 reputation, and 100 is 12,000 reputation.

Xiao Li also had a headache about this, so he could only let them go out to sea to fish by themselves.

However, as the development of Chongtian Island is getting better and better, the increase in prestige value is also soaring, looking at the more than 20,000 prestige points on the bill of the Wish Heavenly Book, Xiao Li Huo Huo jumped to try.

The thought came to his mind.

Howitzer: 100,000 reputation. (Because this weapon is so disconnected from the current world, it is several times more difficult to achieve this wish.) )

Cannon: 10,000 reputation. (Because this weapon is so disconnected from the current world, it is several times more difficult to achieve this wish.) )

Earth Cannon: 1,000 reputation.

After browsing these, Xiao Li began to make a wish to check the price of these cannonballs, but it made him gasp, and finally his eyes fell on the earthen cannons.

"Make a wish: twenty earthen cannons. ”

The words fell, and a number of earthen cannons were erected in the backyard, neatly lined up.

The reason why Xiao Li bought the earthen cannon was mainly because it was cheap, and the other was that its shells could be manufactured with the current technology of Chongtian Island, and there was no need to spend extra money to buy them.

Moreover, with the current situation of Chongtian Island, the first enemy is only Kaiyun Island, and the earth artillery is enough to deal with it.

......

When they heard that a new weapon was going to be developed, all the people in the research institute came to the courtyard behind Xiao Li's residence, and they gasped when they saw the earthen cannons with steel barrels.

Is this the new weapon?

After a few brief introductions, Xiao Li handed them some books, and as for the materials needed to make the shells, he directly made a wish to redeem them.
