Chapter 41: The Fluttering Black Fire Skull Banner
The skeleton whipper and the magic mage entered the army sequence of the Black Fire Lord, and the greatly increased military strength made Da Liang's confidence in attacking Flying Dust Island extremely inflated: the most advanced soldier on that big island was a level 12 unicorn beast, and five level 12 magic mages and one archangel could be defeated with one assault. When the time comes, I can sit on the ground and start the price if I possess the things in the cave, and at that time, it will not be a few soldiers and a few boats to send my brother away, hahahaha......
The soldiers are very fast, Julian slaughtered on Flying Dust Island, and the defenders on the island can be described as suffering heavy losses, and it will definitely take a little time to replenish the lost troops. The current Black Fire Leader can be described as a strong soldier, and it is the time to take the opportunity to attack Flying Dust Island. So Da Liang waved his hand, and the black fire led the whole army to set out, targeting the Flying Dust Island controlled by the elves of Chongming City.
But......
The other soldiers are easy to say, the Iron Glove and the Black Fire can be loaded, but where to put the 1,000 skeleton soldiers makes it difficult for Da Liang. The maximum number of sailors for a two-masted battleship is 70, and the maximum number of sailors for a three-masted merchant ship is 100, which is absolutely impossible to fit so many soldiers.
And just when Da Liang was worried, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind: Aren't low-level undead not affected by morale? In other words, mistreating them will never affect combat effectiveness. The ship's sailor's cabin can't hold them, but we have a cargo hold, and after the timber is unloaded, the cargo hold is all empty, as long as the skeleton soldiers are hurried away, and then stacked neatly layer by layer, it is absolutely no problem to load 1,000 skeleton soldiers.
Really...... My brother is so witty that I'm even scared of myself!
So the Iron Glove and the Black Fire set off with a warehouse full of skeletons.
……
The sky is clear, and 13 griffons soar in the sky, forming a semicircle for the fleet to monitor the sea ahead.
The two ships of the Blackfire Fleet had anchored and landed on the sea, and out of sight in front of them was Dust Island, and if they went there, they would likely encounter the opposing patrol ships.
In the captain's room of the Blackfire, Da Liang, Julian, Simon, Vincent, and Sidney gather around the map, perfecting the battle plan one last time.
Da Liang, who had already taken Julian to do some high-altitude reconnaissance on Flying Dust Island again, said: "The patrol ships outside Flying Dust Island have not changed, and they are still three brigs. At this point, I wonder why the defenders were not more wary of the last battle and still had three brigs. ”
Sidney, who is familiar with the Shangjiang fleet, said: "It's not that they don't want to increase their sea power, but they don't dare. They knew that Feichen Island had attracted the attention of the Pudong Fleet, and the increase or decrease of ships on the sea was easy to see, and the gathering of too many warships would give the Pudong Fleet an excuse to intervene openly. Moreover, since the defenders of Flying Dust Island know that we have archangels, it is not much use for ordinary surface warships, the ship's guns are limited by the angle of fire, and they can't hit air units due to the limitation of the angle of fire, and the limited deck area can't stand too many elven archers to form an anti-air arrow array. Therefore, if you want to restrain Julian at sea, you can only use large magical energy air and space warships, or send archangels of the same rank. The air and space battleships come here more dazzling than several large surface warships, and the Archangel ...... There are a total of 17 archangels and 34 angels in the entire Shangjiang area. Among them, there are 10 archangels and 20 angels in Shangjiang City, and there are one archangel and two angels in other vice cities. As for whether Chongming City will send their only archangel here, it depends on how important this island is to them. ”
Sidney's meaning is very obvious, the three brigs on the sea are still closely shouldering patrol duties, and the defense of the Flying Dust Island is still on the island.
Just for the possible archangels...... Da Liang looked at Julian for advice.
Julian said very confidently: "If there is only one archangel on the other side, then he is definitely not my opponent." ”
With Julian's assurance, Da Liang had confidence in this battle, and he ordered: "The fleet will rest here for the night, and the whole army will attack Feichen Island early tomorrow morning." After entering the battlefield, the Blackfire fleet rushed in full force to assist the skeleton troops to seize the beachhead, and blocked the three brigs on the periphery from attacking the skeleton troops from behind, and Sidney was in charge of the fleet operations. Once the skeletons have captured the beachhead, Vincent and the Illusionist follow up to provide magical and ranged support to the skeleton troops. Simon and your men, swordsmen, and all the archers are responsible for protecting the mages, and remember that even if you are all dead, you can't let your enemies hurt them. Julian, you did the same as you did last time on Flying Dust Island, and advance to the cave in a straight line, leading the front line of the whole army. I will lead all the griffons to protect your skies. ”
After everyone understood their duties, Da Liang finally reminded: "Feichen Island is so big, we will open the front and advance together, we are not afraid of any ambush by the defenders, this battle must be resolved quickly, and we will fully control Feichen Island before the Pudong fleet arrives." Do you understand? ”
"Yes! Your Lord! ”
Night fell after a calm day, and after it was completely dark, the Blackfire fleet began to approach Dust Island at a low speed, and when the day lit up again, two ships suddenly appeared in the field of view of Dust Island.
Sirens sounded, and the shrill sound of trombones woke up this otherwise peaceful morning. The defenders of Dust Island moved, and the Centaur Captain and the Centaurs stood by in the woods behind the entrance to the island, with a flat sand beach in front of them, making it easy for these fast troopers to gallop. The dwarves entered the artillery positions in the woods, where there were ten iron smoothbore cannons that could effectively block the approach of the ships to the beachhead.
The other classes were not too nervous, after all, there were only two ships attacking, and how many people and how much firepower could be loaded into a full battle? Now there are artillery and centaurs on the beachhead, and there are three brigs on the sea to support, if the enemy is weak, it will be destroyed if it can't even touch the beach, and if it is strong, it will be consumed by the attack and defense of the beachhead, and that is when the main force of the defenders will be dispatched to end the battle.
The invading ships were still approaching, and from Flying Dust Island it was already visible that the fleet consisted of a two-masted battleship and a three-masted merchant ship, and at the top of the mast, a skull flag with a black flame background fluttering.
Is it a pirate......
An unlucky pirate to be exact, these sea-launderers have no idea what awaits them on their path.
It seemed to be a false alarm, and the defenders on Flying Dust Island let go of their nervousness, and in their opinion, the pirate who had accidentally broken in was expected to be eliminated soon.
