Chapter 107: A Cannonball
The wind gradually became lighter, and the speed of the Icefield slowed down, and the few clippers behind were all frightened away by the dense firepower of the Icefield, and now that the wind was lighter, they still didn't dare to catch up, but the new big ship seemed to have made up its mind to catch up with the Icefield, and they equipped the ship with many long oars, and began to shout and row, and it was moving faster than the two clippers.
Kyle flipped through the ammo box of the departing fashion ship and found that there were only a few dozen bullets inside, and now it was not far from the ice field, but it was still separated by a small hill, and it was impossible to see the ice field city, let alone call for help.
Cole decides to give up all of his bullets to Kyle, as she is better at marksmanship than for others to shoot meaninglessly.
He knew that Kosol City must have cut off the waterway to Icefield City, because after sailing for so long, except for the occasional few fishing boats in some towns, there were no slightly larger ships at all, and these recent days were the busiest times in Icefield City, how could he not even see a single merchant ship?
Just as Cole jumped to his feet, the shadow behind him became thick and slightly raised, as if something was about to emerge from the darkness, but Cole saw a flying arrow and yelled "Be careful", which scared the shadow back.
The great ship had reached the distance where it could shoot arrows, and the archers on it drew their iron bows, and the arrows like locusts rushed towards them, and the people hurriedly dodged, and the deck behind was suddenly full of arrows, and many of them were stuck in the sails crookedly.
"Damn. Kyle cursed, and his gun came out from behind the wooden box and fired at the archers on the ship.
However, the enemy already knew her way, and as soon as she heard the gunshot, she immediately hid, and when she stopped, they came out to shoot arrows again, which forced Kyle to shoot the strong men who were rowing the oars, and it could be seen from their outfits that those paddlers were just ordinary civilians, but she had no choice, if she let the big ship catch up, the Ice Field, which only had more than thirty people, was no match for the big ship with more than a hundred knights.
Her sporadic shots didn't work for the huge wooden ship, and the knights on it forced the people to paddle quickly, and the big ship finally forced itself into the vicinity of the Icefield.
It was impossible to see it from a long distance, but when the big ship approached, everyone felt how huge the big ship was, and when it pressed up from behind, it was like a small mountain, as if it was about to smash the smaller ice field to pieces.
However, they did not intend to hit the ship directly, but prepared to get close enough to make the knights jump over, similar to the pirates who gathered on the islands outside the East China Sea.
"Bang!"
The bow of the large ship lightly touched the stern of the Icefield, and all the people on the Icefield stumbled and almost fell, followed by several successive gunshots, and then several corpses rolled down the aft deck.
"Knights, draw your sword!" Knowing that the other party had already made up his mind not to die, Cole no longer thought about what to do.
"Roar!"
The knights gathered at the stern of the ship with their swords in hand, roaring and preparing to fight to the death, and Kyle finished the last few bullets, sighed, and then drew his knight's sword, which he had not used for a long time.
"Xiao Nai, I hope you don't get too sad. Holding the knight's sword tightly, she remembered the way Shi Nai threw herself into her arms, the little girl who regarded herself as her own sister, she must be sad to know that she was dead.
Cole, who also held the knight's sword, had a completely different mind than Kyle, and he silently swore in his heart that he would live, because he had promised Katya that he would do it, how could he give up halfway.
The first enemies on the big ship finally jumped down and landed on the deck with a dull thud.
"Defend!" Cole shouted, causing the knights to form a defensive formation.
The people who participated in the Icefield's voyage this time were all elites carefully selected by the commander of Kono, and none of them were mediocre, so even in the face of battles where they could almost see the outcome of defeat, they did not flinch at all.
"Roar!"
Both sides shouted, their swords clashed, and because there were too many enemies jumping onto the deck, Cole and the others were squeezed and quickly retreated, and the defensive formation was about to collapse.
Seeing that it couldn't last long, the knights were all red-eyed and swung their knights' swords vigorously, wanting to exert the residual heat of their lives and defend the last dignity of the knights.
At this moment, a piercing whistling sound suddenly sounded in the sky.
"Boom!"
There was a loud and soul-shattering sound from the big ship.
Immediately after that, a powerful shockwave came from the big ship, shaking everyone who was fighting, and the black shadow behind Cole, which was already a little unstoppable, finally retreated.
Then came the "click" of the collapse of the wooden mast and the fire that burned on the big ship.
"It's a howitzer!" Cole suddenly felt that the world was so bright and full of hope, "Your Highness is supporting us!"
The cannonball landed on the bow of the big ship, where there were many knights who were ready to jump onto the Icefield, but now that there was no movement, Cole couldn't imagine how they could have survived if the cannonball exploded at such a close distance.
Despite some tinnitus, he gestured to his companion, then swung his great sword and pounced on the enemy.
Due to a cannonball, the tide of the battle quickly reversed, and the few knights on the Icefield suddenly became the majority, and some of the guys who had not recovered from the cannonball just now turned into dead ghosts in such a daze, and it didn't take long for the enemies who had lost their momentum to be annihilated, and many knights on the Icefield were injured, but none of them died.
At this time, the two big ships that were close together also swept over the hill, and the long-lost Ice Plain City finally came into view, and the clippers who followed the big ship saw such a divine power, and they all deflected their sails and fled down the river.
The ship was burning to the ground, and the sound of firefighting and diving was incessant, and at this point, Cole once again realized that the power possessed by Icefield City had thrown off the original civilization too much, even if its current power was not great enough, but in the foreseeable future, its achievements will be unprecedented and incomparable!
"God bless His Highness Rafa. Looking at the big ship that gradually stopped in the middle of the river and then burned brightly, Cole couldn't help but touch his chest with his right hand, and silently recited the blessing that only the emperor could bear.
"God bless His Highness Rafa. ”
Perhaps feeling the same shock, the rest of the knights followed his example and said silently.
After rescuing some of the captives, the Icewon sailed into Lake Chenai, where someone was already waiting, and took the rope from the ship and tethered the ship to the dock.
"Katya!"
As soon as he got off the boat, Cole saw Katya at a glance, ignoring Rafa, who was on the side, and rushed over to hug her tightly.
And Kyle also hugged the well-behaved Shi Nai into his arms, glad that he could still see this lovely smiling face.
"Good work. Rafa took Philishel by the hand, gave each knight an encouraging look, and called Shirley over to treat the wounded knight, now is not the time for the entangled witch to show up, he wants to give the best courtesy to these knights who have worked for him.
"Your Highness, ...... Kosol City" and Katya hugged for a while, and Cole remembered to report to Rafa about Kosol City.
"I know it all," Rafa said, looking at the boat still burning in the middle of the river, with a hint of regret in his eyes, and then he became fierce again, "I'll make them pay." ”
Then he sent to the river and caught many prisoners, and then asked Heddah to burn the boat to the ground, so as not to block the river.
At night, just as Cole and Katya were under the moon in front of the flowers, the shadow behind him finally left him and disappeared into Icefield City.
