The arrival of the Salo royal family this time was very moving, and the main fleet of the Royal Navy came five or six out of ten, and most of the extraordinary masters in the army were also drawn. In addition to the power necessary to defend the royal capital, it can be said that it is pouring out.

The extermination of the "Golden Tooth Pirates" a few days ago was just a practice, and the suppression of Philip's collar today is the ultimate goal of this trip.

At the same time, on the Tianlan Royal Navy capital ship "Golden Lion".

The current king of Tianlan, "Salo I", is in a very good mood.

He originally thought that there would be a fierce battle to take down the difficult bone of Philip's lead, but now it seems that this wave of beasts alone has destroyed eighty percent of the enemy's combat effectiveness. The beast tide of two days and one night destroyed almost all the war ships in Philip's command, and the artillery ammunition was also exhausted.

In other words, they are now unable to organize a decent resistance force at all, and can only be beaten passively.

Now Philip is like a tiger with teeth pulled out and claws drawn, even if the ferocity is still there, it can't make any waves.

I wanted to use this battle to promote the prosperous national power that I had been operating for more than ten years since I ascended the throne. It's a pity that this punch hasn't come out yet, but the other party has already fallen.

Salo I came in high spirits, but with some intention that he would return.

"The minister thinks that the fleet should stay in this sea area first. If you get too close, I'm afraid it will be safe for Your Majesty..."

"I think His Excellency Varosa is being so cautious and overly cautious... As far as the minister knows, the ultimate range of Philip's magic cannon is only ten nautical miles, and we are now thirty nautical miles away... There is nothing to be afraid of! ”

"But... I'm afraid that Philip VIII has other followers. ”

"Hehe, Varossa, you 'Minister of Defense' seem to be getting a little more timid... Thinking about how majestic His Majesty was back then, he single-handedly slashed several fifth-order court masters of the previous dynasty and killed Campbell X in front of the two armies, which laid the glorious situation of today's Tianlan and shocked the world. In such a small scene today, you are still so cringe, and you don't let people see the joke? What's more, you don't think that the current remnant of the defeated army, Philip, still has the ability to stop my Tianlan Royal Navy? ”

"Erwin, fighting is not a fight! Such a rash remark just now is really ill-intentioned... If His Majesty's safety is the slightest mistake, you, the vice president of the Royal Academy, will definitely be to blame! ”

“...”

Salo I sat on the golden throne with a sword, listening to the arguments of his ministers, and faintly aroused the war spirit in his heart.

Finally, he was still a little moved, and decisively said, "It's okay... Drop anchor thirty nautical miles apart, and inform the predator fleets in the various territories to prepare for the attack. ”

If it weren't for the ministers' efforts to dissuade him, he really wanted to fight Philip in person and try out the combat power of the legendary "No. 1 Master of the Black Sea".

"Your Majesty, do you think now we should directly annihilate the entire Philip Territory?"

"Let's raise the banner to persuade us to surrender first, after all, if we do too much, we may all pay other remaining territories in the future, which will have a bad impact."

"Congratulations, Your Majesty... Philip led this thorn to be wiped out, and those old stubbornness left over from the previous dynasty will not be a problem, and Tianlan will be unified just around the corner. ”

"Congratulations, Your Majesty..."

At this moment, the ministers congratulated.

Salo I always had a relaxed smile on his face and enjoyed it.

He shouted: "Pass the order, accept the persuasion!" The civilian urban areas infected with the plague should not be touched without permission, and should be isolated on the spot, and let them fend for themselves. And also... We accept the surrender of all the other nobles of Philip's leadership, but not a single Philip VIII and his people are left! An hour after the flag, there are still stubborn enemies, don't worry about killing! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The generals commanded.

Everyone didn't notice that when they heard the news, the eyes of Erwin, the vice president of the Tianlan Royal Naval Academy, flashed an imperceptible red light, faintly like a crow's eyes.

.......

"My lord, the slums after the fifteenth district have all hung the 'war-free flag'... The Commander over there said... Say..."

"Say what?"

"I said, 'Please leave a way for the people to live.'"

“...”

"Pass my order, repeal the 'Territory Defection and Sink Order', do not attack the surrendered civilian neighborhoods, and let them leave."

"But, my lord... Now the morale of the army is unstable, and if this is done, I am afraid that other districts will follow suit. ”

"It doesn't matter."

In fact, needless to say, everyone can guess the result that "the civilian area will surrender without a fight".

Previously, because of the plague, all civilian urban areas after the fifteenth district were isolated, making them feel abandoned. What's more, the artillery equipment of the ship island in the civilian neighborhood is backward, and this time the beast tide, the most casualties are also in the civilian neighborhood...

After several tosses, the people's morale has fallen to a low point. Even if the Tianlan Royal Navy is now approaching the city, if you want the civilians to fight for the territory again, unless you are forced to die, it will be difficult.

It didn't take long for

The subordinates came to report again.

"My lord, the Tianlan Royal Fleet has assembled and anchored thirty nautical miles away, and we are surrounded. The enemy sent ships and raised the flag of surrender... The commanders of the seventh, eighth, tenth, and eleventh aristocratic neighborhoods also hoisted the 'white flag' one after another, and they broke away from the territorial defense circle without authorization, apparently preparing to surrender to the Tianlan Royal Navy. ”

All the civilian areas surrendered, and most of the ship islands in the aristocratic neighborhood were gone.

Before the war began, Archduke Philip was about to fall into the embarrassing situation of "having no soldiers available".

In the eyes of onlookers, in fact, from the moment Philip Ling chose to divide the isolated territory due to the outbreak of the plague, he had already declared the glorious era of the former "First Leader of Tianlan" to come to an end.

......

And at the same time,

The expected shelling did not take place.

Archduke Philip seems to have given up on his dying throes altogether, and did not choose to sink these defected ship islands.

The "Rodney Family" decisively chose to pull anchor and set sail as soon as the sea beast retreated, and it only took a few moments to travel more than ten nautical miles and successfully break away from Philip's attack circle.

The current head of the Rodney family, Nanabas Rodney, is a middle-aged man with a slightly chubby body and a red beard.

At this time, he stood on the deck of the ship island blowing the sea breeze, looking back at the Philip Academy, and his eyes could not hide the excitement.

"Whew... I was worried in vain, and I pulled so many ships and islands to block artillery. Now I haven't fired a single shot... It seems that Philip VIII has given up struggling. ”

Next to Nanabas was a graceful and luxurious woman, with red phoenix eyes and willow eyebrows, looking a little bit beautiful. A few days ago she was called Mrs. Clive, and now... She reverted to her real name, Isa Rodney.

"Hehe, we are long out of the maximum range of artillery now, and Philip VIII will not be able to shoot even if he wants to!"

The corners of Isa's eyebrows furrowed, and there was no trace of respect in her tone, "Philip VIII is really a stupid and stubborn guy!" If you had sworn allegiance to the new king earlier, wouldn't you have come to the situation where you are betrayed and left today..."

"If you weren't forced to be helpless, who would want to have that rebellious heart..."

Nanabas also sighed: "The conditions given by the new king were so generous, but he still ignored them. As a result, the old families in our territory have also lost a lot of wealth over the years due to the Kingdom's 'trade sanctions'. The territory belongs to everyone, not to him Philip VIII alone! This kind of lord, who does not think about the nobility of the territory, is doomed to perdition. ”

After a pause, Nanabas seemed to think of something, and asked again: "Isha, what did you say that Clive's eunuch was hesitating, why didn't he open Ship Island now?" ”

He thought that old Clive was watching out of caution, and planned to let his group test Philip's reaction, so he didn't leave immediately. But now that most of the families of their faction have evacuated, the Clive family has not moved at all.

This raises some suspicions about his motives.

"How do I know? Hehe, he probably found out at the last moment with his conscience and planned to be 'loyal' to Philip, right? ”

The tone was full of cynicism.

When it comes to her husband, Isa's face is not good-looking.

She said coldly, "After Faeron died, I completely lost my heart to that old thing. When the position of Minister of Defense was at his fingertips, he chose to give up, and I think he has lost even the last bit of ambition. This kind of person can't be counted on in the future..."

Hearing this, Nanabas faintly felt that something was wrong.

But now that the Tianlan Royal Navy fleet has arrived, it is impossible for anyone to reverse the situation.

He muttered, "That old fellow Clive is steady, and it stands to reason that he shouldn't be hesitant now..."

Isa: "Who knows... Ever since his ailing son, Meyer, had returned, the old thing seemed to have changed. I chattered all day long, and I didn't care much about the internal affairs of the family, so I didn't miss out on stupid tricks..."

Nanabas thought again, "Could it be that he found out that Faren was not his own?" ”

"Discovery? Over the years, he's definitely discovered... But so what? ”

The woman's intuition was really terrifying, and Isha said coldly: "Brother, I always think that Faeron's death is the ghost of Clive's old thing, and maybe his bastard son Meyer..."

"He didn't dare... That kind of person's character, in order to protect the reputation of the Clive family, even if he finds something, he will choose to withhold it. What's more, he had no motive to kill Faren at all. ”

Nanabas was a little puzzled and muttered, "But now it seems that Faerun's death is really a bit strange..."

He originally wanted to say that it was a good thing to die a Faerun, at least it brought him great convenience and opportunity.

It's like someone secretly helping him with the Rodney family, and the journey is smooth. The factional conflict after Faeron's death not only stabilized the position of the faction leader, but also successfully won the authority of the "Minister of Defense" and became the "leader" of this defection operation.

"Hey... Have pity on our precious son..."

Isha wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.

Nanabas listened to this, and his face was slightly unnatural.

Isha restrained her sadness and said, "Brother, don't think about the Clive family. I think it's better for us to hurry up and get to the predetermined sea. This time, His Majesty Salo personally conscripted, if our Rodney family can leave a good impression, it will definitely be used in the future..."

Nanabas also nodded with a little expectation and joy, "Isha, do you think I, the 'Minister of Defense', took it for nothing?" I have taken with me eighty percent of the remaining defense forces of Philip Territory, and this time His Majesty will surely win a great victory in the conquest of Philip Territory. In the aftermath of the merit reward, our Rodney family will be the first to take the credit! Your Majesty has sent a message that they will canonize me as the Duke of the Kingdom..."

The family has the title of "hereditary duke", and its status is already equal to that of Philip VIII. At this moment, they can already imagine the glorious days of the Rodney family in the future...

"Then congratulations to my brother first..."

Isha had a smile in her eyes, and she wanted to say something,

But at this moment,

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The beams of five demonic cannons passed overhead, directly hitting the "Golden Lion", the main battleship of the Tianlan Royal Navy in the distance.

The next moment,

A roaring explosion sounded, and the waves rolled into the sky.

The two looked at each other, their faces as if they were dead.

The joy in my heart was washed away by this series of shelling.

......

"How is that possible... Was that a magic cannon just now? ”

"That's at least thirty nautical miles, how can it be so far?!"

"It's over..."

Nanabas swallowed, looking incredulous to look back at what had happened to Philip. But at this moment, he found that his neck seemed to be stiff, and every twist clicked and it was extremely difficult.

Finally, when he looked back at the five strange magic cannons that suddenly appeared on the hull of the "Philip Academy" ship island, it dawned on him.

It was as if a poisonous snake had climbed up his back, and a chilling chill that pierced his bones instantly hit his heart.

Originally

This is the last killer of Archduke Philip!

"Impossible! No way! How could Philip Collar still have a magic cannon of this range... How could it be that I didn't get any news! ”

Nanabas's eyes were filled with desperate shock, and he had always thought that things were in his own calculations.

But I don't want all the sweet dreams of yellow sorghum to be ruined because of this sudden shelling!

He also thought of any possible changes, but he never thought that Grand Guild Philip would come to such a "decapitation operation"!

This shot directly hit the ship where "Salo I" was located. Five bullets came together, and the huge ship was directly blown into two!

This kind of power, even the sea kings can't withstand a single shot, so Your Majesty Nasaro...

He didn't want to think about it anymore.

suddenly

"No... The higher the rank of the magic cannon, the more demanding the conditions of use... This kind of powerful crystal cannon requires at least a seventh- or eighth-order demon beast crystal nucleus to drive... Philip VIII was also absolutely impossible to use at will. Perhaps, he won't waste himself thinking of sinking us..."

A glimmer of hope rose in Nanabas's heart, and it was instantly annihilated.

Whether Salo I died or not, their nobles would be angered.

The defensive strength of Philip's territory was revealed to the Tianlan Royal Navy by himself, but there was no information in the "report" that mentioned the five magic cannons. Now that such a big basket is out, the people over there in Tianlan will definitely blame them on this group of subordinates... And the Rodneys naturally bore the brunt of it, and the tragic end was already predictable.

"How could Philip develop such a cutting-edge magic cannon?!"

Nanabas raised his head to the sky and roared,

No! Not only Philip Collar, but even the entire Black Sea could not have such a powerful and ranged magic cannon!

Otherwise, with this super artillery power, a few more, who is still an opponent in the entire Black Sea?

After venting his frenzy, he muttered to himself like a fool, "It's over... It's all over..."

Naturally, the veteran aristocrats who had defected with the Rodneys also saw the horrific shelling.

Just now they were complacent because they had escaped the range of the magic cannon, but now it seems... The Tianlan Royal Navy fleet, which was further away, had been shelled, how could they have escaped?

Just now, Philip saw the betrayal of his relatives and kept holding back, I am afraid that this is the moment he is waiting for.

Isha couldn't help but tremble in her teeth, and she was so frightened that she was incoherent: "I... We won't... Sunk, right? ”

At this time, she suddenly woke up.

It turns out that Clive's old guy has been standing still, it's not that he's confused... I'm afraid that the scheming guy had already expected this scene in front of him.

It's scary to think about.

"Sunk? Hehe... Sink it, sink it. ”

Nanabas staggered and staggered to her feet as if she were drunk.

He looked at the five cannons that were recharged from afar, and the corners of his mouth actually raised a miserable smile.

Probably, dying now is the happiest ending.

At this moment, all the thoughts that I had never thought of before in my mind suddenly became clear... Hehe, I thought that others made a wedding dress for the Rodney family, but I didn't expect that they themselves became the target of the knife for others.

Originally

We've all been calculated by that old guy Clive, no wonder that guy would give up the fat piece of "Secretary of Defense" so easily...

Boom! Boom! Boom...

Another string of cannons.

The waves are turning the sky, and everything is gone!

Before the defecting aristocratic ship island group could disperse, it was densely covered by this second round of artillery.

From beginning to end,

Archduke Philip had no intention of sparing this group of traitors seeking glory.
