Chapter 364, Clash of Beliefs

In the blink of an eye, another six months have passed.

Telosi is in full swing.

The construction of the completed factory officially started, the increase in production capacity and the solution of the hidden danger of civil governance, once again reduced the possibility of rebellion, so that the workers who work are paid, have time to rest, can spend freely, form a more virtuous economic cycle, and make the city-state more orderly.

The Iron Isles fleet and the merchants of Dorne took over the maritime trade, and taxes skyrocketed as commerce moved.

In terms of education, all the students between the ages of 18 and 25 in the first class of the evening school have graduated, and the students who have received the initiation and basic education are all active and progressive, and everything is developing for the better.

The most important thing is that Arthur recruited the student soldiers at the school, and finally completed his military training during this time!

However, the number of musket regiments was somewhat small.

There were less than six hundred people......

However, with plenty of muskets and ammunition, more than 500 musketeers, four 3rd class sail battleships, and more than 200 guns, Arthur felt that there was no difficulty in defeating Mill.

"Your Highness, are you sure you really don't need us to go with you this time to attack Mill?"

On the docks of Port Tellosi, looking at the knights and student soldiers in full gear, Asha Greyjoy, who looked like a joke, couldn't help but smile and asked Arthur.

Ignoring the playful smile on the Iron Islands Queen's face, Arthur said firmly, "No!"

"I have guns and cannons, but Mill is nothing more than a chicken!"

"Do you want Uncle Elen to take you outside of Mill Harbor?" asked Asha.

"Uh," Arthur said, "yes." ”

"Well, since His Highness has to lead these baby soldiers who have never seen blood into battle, we will not stop it. Asha shook her head, "But if something goes wrong, Your Highness should remember, we will be on standby in the open sea." ”

The escort sent to the prince by the princes of Dorne has been completed as the prince's personal bodyguard.

As the captain, Namelia, who was commanding the escort to board the ship, also said when she heard this: "We, Dorne, are also the strongest backing of His Highness!"

More than 500 musketeers were too few.

A three-sail battleship can be carried out.

Therefore, Arthur, who decided to go on this expedition without the pirates of the Iron Islands, accepted Selena's proposal to recruit the trustworthy mercenaries in the city of Telosi.

It's winter.

The sea breeze blowing from the sea is bitter.

Dr. Ryan, who was seeing off the prince at the docks, had a somewhat solemn face.

He did not have the slightest worry about the powerful prince who mastered the power of light and magic to end the Battle of Winter, and even if the whole army was destroyed, he believed that Arthur would come back safe and sound.

The old doctor is worried, only Telosi!

Without a prince like the Needle of the Sea in charge of the city-state, those who resist will definitely be stupid*|stupid*|desire*|move, and letting the pirates of the Iron Islands take over Telosi may be the biggest failure!

Dr. Ryan never forgets that during the Battle of Winter, the Emperor, the Dragon Queen, Prince Arthur, and all the transcendents attacked the Night King, and the coalition forces were immediately annihilated by the attacks of the Wraiths and Ghouls.

They had to die nine times before they escaped.

More than 20 doctors, hundreds of bachelors, and only more than 40 survived in the end!

"Maester Alford, how many muskets has Your Highness left us?"

The Alford Bachelor, with the black iron necklace, thought for a moment and said, "A thousand long muskets, a thousand short muskets." ”

"Let all the bachelors carry two handfuls with them. Ryan said in a deep voice, "Your Highness will lead the army out of here, and the Talosi people will definitely not settle down." ”

"I see......"

Maester Alford was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly asked, "So, doctor, are we going to give the muskets to the Iron Islanders?"

Ryan said, "No, just give it to the nobles sent by the nobles of Dorne to protect us." ”

"Okay, I'll do it right away. ”

The distance from Telosi to Mill is actually about the same as the Iron Islands to Old Town.

Not the cold north.

There are also Arthur, Penelope, and Lorianne and other transcendent beings.

A coal stove was also specially prepared, and the soldiers on the battleship did not feel how cold it was this winter.

There was no difficulty in crossing the sea to make an expedition to Mill.

With the Drowning Priest casting a divine spell.

As the sun sets, the rising moon and the stars occupy the dark night, and the city-state, which is rarely illuminated, appears in Arthur's sight on the west coast of Essos.

"Everyone is ready to fight. ”

"Artillerymen, reload ammunition!"

Hypo soon sent four sail warships outside Mill Harbor.

The Mir, carrying the musket regiment, continued to approach the dock, and the other three battleships opened fire under the command of Ranmarok.

The flames reflect the dark waters of the night, illuminating most of the harbor.

The four battleships were not lit, all came quietly, and were delivered by the waves in half a day, and Mill's navy did not have time to react, and did not even get information about Telosi's attack.

And at Mill's coastal line, the patrolling soldiers discovered the sudden arrival of enemy ships too late.

The projectiles flew through the air like a meteor shower.

Then, the coastal defense line of the city-state was unrecognizable in a blast!

Inside the harbor, Mill's warship finally reacted, because without the magic of the Drowning Priest, there was no need to face the powerless and terrifying waves, and the sailors tried to launch a counterattack under the captain's orders.

Looking at the ships that the docks wanted to attack, Arthur immediately prepared the musketeers and gunners for engagement.

Refer to the Battle of Trafalgar in the previous life.

The Mir rushed into the harbor and approached the Mill battleship on the docks, and the left and right guns immediately followed the Prince's orders while firing at the enemy.

Storming artillery fire swept through the Mill Docks.

Under a thunderous bombardment, the Mir was left uninhabited, and the Musket Regiment landed on Mill Pier without hindrance.

The pale golden light shines brightly, giving the soldiers strength and blessing protection.

Crisp gunshots.

On the docks, the Mill Guards came in a hurry, then roared, shouted, and swung their swords under the muzzle of their guns, and with the crisp sound of gunfire, they all fell in the way of the charge without incident, unable to organize effective resistance.

"Keep in formation, keep the rhythm, and slowly step forward!"

"Forward!"

The musket regiment is unstoppable!

"Damn, what the hell are the weapons these soldiers are using......"

Look at the docks that have become chaotic.

The blue-lipped wizard decisively halted his counterattack and quickly led the men back to the second line of defense built in the city for the loss of the docks.

"For a better future, to eradicate ignorance and barbarism, and to free all slaves?"

After glancing at the neatly formed and dense enemy army protected by the Holy Light, the mysterious female mage wearing a cloak and a graceful figure took out the leaflet that appeared in Mill three months ago, muttered a few times, and turned her head to look at the big man beside her.

"Conan, if I'm not mistaken, you used to be a gladiator, right?"

The strong man with a height of two meters and three meters and a tiger's back nodded: "That's right, the slave who was sold to the gladiatorial arena." ”

"So......" the female mage's tone suddenly became playful, "do you think the prince's just battle to free the slaves will be lost?"

Conan, who heard this, suddenly fell silent.

The leaflet appeared in Mill for three months, in addition to persuading everyone to surrender, it also let everyone know the righteousness of the prince's battle, and also preached that his army would not disturb the people, would not kill innocents, would not take women prisoners, and so on.

Having seen the guns of the strong ships, the defenders of Mill were on the verge of collapse under the enemy's attack.

Stupid people can see that their situation is not good!

"Emancipating slaves was truly great. ”

"However, I managed to survive the gladiatorial arena and use my strength to get rid of my slave status and become a human ......"

"In addition to freeing the slaves, this prince wants to destroy our glory and wealth!"

"Are you willing to give up everything you have now?"

"I'm reluctant!"

"He won't be allowed to do that either!"

With that, Conan's blood boiled all over his body, his skin was red and bruised, and he grabbed the giant sword next to him and jumped out of the defense line and charged furiously towards the enemy.

A strong man more than two meters tall, wielding a two-meter-high giant sword.

Arthur, Annie, Selena, Gawain, Lancelot and Gianna, Ambrosius don't want to find out.

"Leave it to me. ”

Seeing this, Lancelos immediately jumped out of his horse.

However, the indestructible lake light met the giant sword, and the distance of the strong man directly slashed the knight and flew off the horse's back!

Lancelot, who got up quickly, had a little sore arms.

Tristan was directing the gunners to fire on the battleship, otherwise the sharp-eyed marksman would immediately see that Lancelot's condition was not good, and draw his bow and arrows in support.

Seeing Lancelot get up, the strong man quickly swung his giant sword and slashed again.

Arthur hurriedly blessed the knight with the shield guard, and the protection was cut off like a cannonball, and Lancelot, who was free of the sword, was not injured.

"So strong?"

Gao Wen, who commanded the musket regiment to stop and let the thirty gunners arrange the three-pounder guns, frowned when he saw this, drew his sword and wanted to rush over to save people.

"Don't be impulsive!" Anne hurriedly stopped Gawain: "You are the commander of the musket regiment!"

"It's your job to command soldiers in battle!"

After that, Anne and Selena will face off against a strong man approaching with a giant sword.

"Leave this guy to us. ”

Looking at the female knights and mercenaries who wanted to fight, Arthur shook his head, and raised his hand to hit the strong man with a blast of holy light, making him stop the menacing charge.

"He's got a lot of power, don't rush over and hit it. ”

"Musketeers shoot!"

"Bang Bang Bang~"

Your side has the greatest advantage, the musket regiment is in full array, fighting is not a game, the enemy has already run to the muzzle, why not order the soldiers to shoot?

As the smoke of gunfire rises.

The breath of death flickered, and if Conan, who sensed the deadly danger, reacted in time and put the greatsword in front of him as a shield defense to block the rush of lead bullets, he would have been beaten into a hornet's nest.

Half a step backwards to withstand the concentrated fire of the musket.

Wild Conan roars and shakes the sky.

The giant sword suddenly attached a layer of lightning like a silver snake dancing wildly!

The musket was ineffective, and Arthur, who saw this, also understood that strong men and non-transcendent people could not deal with them, frowning and drawing their swords, but Anne and Selena had already rushed out of the battle array to meet the battle.

A one-meter-eight sword, a slender female thin sword, with the cooperation of the two women who are both rigid and soft, the strange ghosts can also be dealt with.

But against Conan, who slashed Lancelot, Selena's strength was not enough!

The gold and iron resonated, the one-meter-eight long big sword was suddenly knocked out of a collapse, the female mercenary holding the sword staggered back a few steps, and Anne, who was used to fighting the enemy with skill, took the opportunity to stab, but he didn't expect Conan to be tall and strong, and he looked like a barbarian, but his movements were not slow at all.

A shield of light appeared in front of the female knight.

The terrifying slash of the giant sword's power still couldn't weaken the impact.

The light shield dimmed and the people retreated.

Seeing that her friend was deflated, Gianna suddenly couldn't stand still, and waved her hand to two ice magic.

Seeing this, Conan did not retreat or evade, and swung his giant sword to face it bravely.

The lightning that wrapped around the blade met the ice, but the magic did not show its power as usual, and the collision of energy erupted with a loud sound, causing Conan the strong man to take a few steps backwards, and his body was unscathed.

A figure flashed in an instant.

The golden staff was held high, and the magic in the form of a seal shot at Gianna.

"Your opponent is me. ”

"Spellcaster?"

Sensing the magic, Arthur immediately cast the Holy Light Shield one after another, after all, magic is strange, and there is nothing wrong with being cautious.

The shield of light blocked the mysterious mark, the blue magic glowed brightly, and Gianna struck again.

The cloaked female mage holding the golden staff, not as cool as Gianna's spells, is full of mystery and danger The magic condenses into chains and flies, and the spell clash begins!

And Conan, who was tall and strong, once again swung his sword and charged.

Gawain hurriedly drew his sword and ordered loudly: "Fire!"

Magic is revived, the transcendent is rising, and times are different.

The transcendent has strong individual strength, mastering supernatural energy, and can protect himself in the face of muskets, looking at the furious strong man who fights bullets with a sword, Arthur, who does not want to lose the soldiers under his command, decisively jumps out.

"Let me be your opponent. ”

The sword light flickered horizontally.

The long sword enchanted by the holy light met the two-meter mountain splitting giant sword.

"Ding~"

The Valyrian Sword of Night is the ancestral heirloom of the Harlow family of the Iron Islands.

Because of his cooperation with them, Arthur did not continue to occupy the Harlow family who paid a ransom to redeem the sword, but accepted the ransom and returned the Harlow Sword of Inheritance.

Therefore, in the hands of the prince at this time, it was just a steel long sword.

Selena's greatsword is made of the same material as his longsword.

Even the big sword was shattered, and Arthur's long sword couldn't withstand the slash of the giant sword at all, and it broke instantly!

"Your Highness!"

Seeing this, Gawain, Annie, Selena, and Lancelot immediately shouted worriedly.

The sword is broken.

It does not mean that Arthur is no longer combative.

Strength is his most powerful and sharpest weapon.

The holy light bloomed, the flames ignited, and Conan, the strong man who had defeated Lancelot, Annie, and Selena one after another, suddenly flew upside down.

But the flames didn't consume Conan.

He only slapped the flame hard a few times to extinguish the flame on his body.

"It's so resistant to magic. ”

"But..."Arthur burst out of power, instantly turning into a man of light, releasing a breathtaking momentum: "Magic is not all I have, come and be baptized by the Holy Light!"

"As a child of light, you are really strong. ”

Clenching his greatsword, Conan felt the power of the Child of Light, and instead of rushing to slash, his eyes scanned, trying to find his weakness.

"If I hadn't had the Valyrian Steel Sword, I'm afraid I would have been in a different place in ten moves. ”

It turned out to be a Valyrian steel sword, no wonder the great sword forged from steel for Selena would be broken out, and his own longsword would break and be scrapped.

"Come and take my punch. ”

Light transforms electricity, divine induces thunder, Fist of Heaven!
