Chapter 20: The Bloody Night of the Imperial Capital (Part II)
Ten minutes later, a block four hundred meters from the Riberia escort fleet in the port area, Admiral Catherine and her men were on the move. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although the crazy war cry and wild fighting methods caught the pirates off guard, the difference in numbers was there after all, and when the small pirate bosses began to show up to direct the battle, Catherine had to leave the battlefield with the soldiers she could still find.
"Damn it, why haven't the guns fired yet?"
"I don't think anyone will dare to fire at their own people in an allied port, General."
Catherine had nothing to say about this, all she could do was to move on, "Well, don't worry about those unlucky bastards, it's bad luck to not keep up, the first step is to break through the resistance of these bastards and return to the battleship." ”
"But that's too much."
Catherine laughed and pulled out a dozen metal balls from the space bag, "Boy, have you heard of stink bombs?" Everyone showed a look of amazement, Lorraine definitely didn't expect that the magic communication device she developed with the large Lori had just gone abroad, and the non-lethal jamming bombs she had improvised on Fontainebleau had already been placed in the laboratories of various countries, and it seemed that the large-scale manufacturing process had been completed.
"But even if you have a stink bomb, it's hard to get out of the way, right? It wasn't necessarily that useful, if only the Lorraine mage were here. ”
"We don't need to worry about these problems, we just need to ...... them like this"
Activating the stinky cloud metal ball in his hand, I don't know what the researchers of Riberia put in it, all kinds of weird colored clouds and mist slowly shrouded in front of them, and the unlucky pirates ripped their throats and yelled wildly there, thinking that they had encountered a death cloud attack, but in a short period of time, the organization level instantly reached a low point.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Catherine immediately took the lead in the front of the team, and her perennial combat career made her ready to be activated at any time with all kinds of muskets waiting to be activated, and she casually took out a large-caliber shotgun from the space bag, aimed a little, and fired directly - the shotguns of this year are generally large-kill weapons, and the lead particle storm that was instantly excited swept directly across the past, and the effect can almost be used as a small-caliber artillery to fire grapeshot, and the lethality is amazing.
The pirates on the other side were still in a state of defenselessness, and they were bleeding all over the ground from the shotgun, and few of them fell to the ground and died, but more than ten people were rolling there, and if there was no timely treatment from the priest, it was very likely that they would bleed to death or the wound was infected and hung up.
"Oooo The eldest sister is so powerful! ”
"Shut up, bastards! Charge with me! Hurry back to the ship! ”
It was only after about thirty minutes that the panting Catherine rushed through the 400-meter barrier, at the cost of all the stink bombs and the lives of half of the soldiers, and the admiral who finally returned to the Skyfire did not have the time to care so much, and directly ordered the entire fleet to move out and leave the port first.
Just as the allies were about to leave the port, the battle inside the palace also started, and I don't know why all kinds of defensive arrays did not react at all, so that the aristocratic army that suddenly broke out took advantage of it, and directly surrounded the mirror palace, and invested more than 2,000 people to frantically besiege there.
All of a sudden, the former emperor's residence became a fortress stronghold, and the duel between spells and magic never stopped, and the royal family had an advantage in the level of power and the nobles had far more supernatural abilities than the defenders, which was a temporary tie.
However, in terms of conventional forces, the musketeers' shooting, the elite infantry assault and a large number of small-caliber artillery directly caused heavy losses to the well-trained but never fought Royal Guards, and the anxious Battuso had to pull out a few old guns from the warehouse and shoot at the enemy from an unknown number of years ago, so he also blew up two guns, killing many Royal Guards.
Fortunately, although the nobles were united, the main forces had not yet been invested, and the small-caliber artillery might be effective in killing but completely inappropriate in attacking fortifications, so angry that their commanders had to throw in the ancient rushing carts and siege cones to attack, which was really laughable.
Princess Josephine naturally didn't know about the above situation, but from her residence, she could find that half of the entire imperial capital was already in flames, and the enemy was also not prepared to let this princess go.
In fact, as the only woman who has shown talent in military affairs in recent years, except for the crown prince, and the personal guard she has personally formed, the nobles have seen some kind of bad prospects, if all the power of the royal family has been understood by them, then the remaining princess's armament has not been infiltrated by the aristocratic faction.
"Where is Lieutenant Colonel Kalinin?"
"Your Highness, the lieutenant colonel is already in command of the battle in the vestibule."
Josephine exhaled, in the face of a night battle that was completely out of her control, the only thing she could rely on was this Dawnblade battle leader, the other party claimed to be an expert in tackling tough problems and had fought a lot of night battles, but could she really fight against the enemy with a guard force of more than a thousand people?
She just thought about it a little and knew that it was impossible, the troops invested by the other party could roughly judge that there were three thousand troops from the magic detection and the number of torches outside, thinking of this, she was very helpless, obviously she was not an important person, but the number of troops brought by the aristocratic faction was actually more than the besieging troops of the Mirror Palace, which was really nerve-wracking.
"Wait, there seems to be some sound......"
"No, there is a guardian of the magic enchantment here, and it stands to reason that no one will come over now."
"Guys, I think there's trouble, take up arms and prepare for battle!"
As the princess and the guards talked, some figures with red markers appeared in the courtyard, and these magically marked people must have malicious intentions, because no one would have to climb over the wall to get in and out.
Josephine took a shotgun and spoke first, and a fool who was poking his brain by the door was immediately blasted out of his head, and his body fell to the ground as soon as his bones became weak, and the red and white thing sprayed the face of the old man next to him, which directly scared him stupid.
"Welcome, uninvited guest!"
The shotgun in his hand did not stop, and with malicious buckshot, he enthusiastically pounced on the guy in a daze, knocking the red unlucky guy to the ground.
Sensing the attack of the muskets, the discovered thugs left and roared and rushed forward to mingle with the guards, and Josephine commanded the musketeers to line up and prepare their guns, and when they loaded their ammunition on the other side, a black shadow attacked with a powerful weapon!
"Get out of the way!"
With this warning and sensing the abnormal movement, Josephine directly rolled away from the killer blow, and in the next second, a swift enchanted short spear slashed through the air and directly nailed the black shadow to the floor, and he died after a miserable howl for a while, revealing a skeleton-like face and hands that had been overly corroded by negative energy.
"Damn the undead, why did Lieutenant Colonel Kalinin come here?"
Instead of answering the princess's words right away, the other party quietly took the organized musketeers around the attacker's flank.
"Raise your gun!"
"Aim!"
"Fire!"
In an instant, a salvo of more than twenty muskets accompanied by sporadic random guns discharged these unlucky eggs, although some guards unfortunately died under the platoon guns, but this round directly knocked the enemy unconscious, and there was no way to prevent Kalinin from organizing the next round of shooting.
In the end, he wiped out all the enemy in the last round of a large platoon of fifty people, and he had time to answer Princess Josephine's question, in fact, there was nothing to say, because the vestibule had been broken and had to disperse his forces to fight street battles, but when the experienced lieutenant colonel arranged the army, he also buried a lot of traps so that the enemy could not attack for the time being.
"So I have to leave, don't I?"
"Yes, Your Highness, the war in the imperial capital is obviously premeditated, you must leave the secret passage immediately."
"But if I run away alone......"
"It's okay, I'm in charge, in fact, you still have an influence on my command here, it's your job to leave the imperial capital and go to the royal family to pull up a team, and it's also your task to liaise with the allies and the crown prince."
The insistence of her subordinates left the princess speechless, but when she really left from the secret passage, she encountered a headache portal, and she didn't know where the destination of this thing was, so she gritted her teeth and closed her eyes and jumped straight in, as for the place where it appeared, she could only say hehe.
Under the bloody night, Elkalone became more and more chaotic, and when the royal forces on the periphery were fragmented due to lack of command, and only the royal family of the Mirror Palace was still holding on, the sky was finally about to brighten, but the battle was not over, and even on the sea outside the port, the test of blood and fire was also staged.
