It's close, it's close, it's close.

The oncoming night breeze seemed to carry moist water vapor, and the sound of the river could be heard in front of them, and after passing through a sparse forest, a qiē appeared in the eyes of the exhausted refugees. Huge warships, which many of them had never seen in their lives, and here in the Onyx River, at most they could only see medium-sized ships, and such large warships could only be deployed on the vast and boundless sea.

The muzzle of the black hole was aimed at the position of the land, and the army on the battleship was ready to go.

There were torches lit on all sides, and it was impossible to see how many warships there were, but I was afraid that it was close to hundreds, because the whole river was full of large ships in their view. Surrounded by a faint mist, there seemed to be a fog shrouded in a certain position, no one could see what was inside in the dark night, but it seemed to be a dangerous monster, quietly watching a qiē in front of it, waiting for the call of its master!

Fortunately, the Agate River was as wide as the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, otherwise Sauron's fleet would not have been able to sail in at all.

"Quiet."

A soft female voice sounded, like a spring breeze in the ears of the others.

Then everyone fell silent.

They themselves don't know why, they have just experienced a brutal killing and escape, and they are still in panic, but when they hear this soft female voice, they can't help but quiet down, and their hearts seem to be soothed by some kind of force.

Holy Spirit Pastor Milan looked up and looked ahead.

She saw a tall woman with a veil, and there was an aura on her that was very familiar to her, a divine power bestowed by our Lord.

But the other party is stronger than her!

Milan walked to the front of the counter, gently twisted the corners of the skirt, and the petite and delicate body leaned over and bowed his head, expressing respect to the woman in front of him: "Your Excellency, High Priest! ”

The masked woman smiled and nodded.

The pastors of the other churches glanced at each other and quickly bowed their heads in respect, although they didn't know who the masked woman in front of them was, but seeing that she had just said a word to reassure everyone. Obviously not an ordinary storage zài.

"Let the women and children get on board first."

The masked woman glanced at the people in front of her and slowly ordered, "The men stay where they are and prepare, there is enough food on the shore for them to share with the others." ”

"The Sixth Fleet is combat-ready."

"There is a possibility that the enemy will catch up at any moment, send civilians to the cabins, and equip the militia with weapons after eating."

The soft voice seems to have a magical power.

The crowd in front of her automatically dispersed according to her orders, and then the women and children were sent to the deck one by one and placed in the cabin of the battleship. Most of the civilians who fled the country had no elderly people, and it was difficult for them to survive the war, and most of them were women and children. And then there are the militias who believe in the gods of the half-elves. During the siege, all adult men were drafted, and even teenage boys were forced to learn some combat skills.

"Let the pirates not harass these civilians."

The masked woman turned around and glanced at the pirate leader behind her, and said coldly: "These are my lord's followers!" You should know what Lord Sauron will do to those who violate the order! ”

The pirate leader, who was missing the left ear, showed a sinister smile on his face, and nodded: "Your Excellency, don't worry! ”

"Whoever dares to mess around, I'll skin him myself!"

Brutal means of domination.

Sauron's rule on the South Coast is maintained by killing and order, and only those with good brains know what it will be like to disobey Lord Sauron's orders.

This lord kills without blinking!

Steaming food was distributed, partly prepared in advance, and partly jerky and salted fish. The food prepared is full of meat, and most of it is fish from the ocean, so it is very satisfying to be able to fill your stomach at this time. Now I can eat meat. It also makes many people feel a sense of happiness in their hearts. Even in peacetime, as civilians, they were able to add a little meat to the festival, and from what they saw in front of them, the food prepared by the reinforcements was abundant. Meat actually occupies a large proportion.

It seems that my lord's power is really well-established.

At least it's rich!

The old bishop glanced at the priests next to him, and at this time, he didn't care about any manners, and he took a bowl of hot soup and gobbled up the dried meat and salted fish. Deciduous City has been besieged for a long time, and there is not much food in the city. A portion of it was also given to a large number of refugees, even high-ranking priests, who could barely feed themselves during this time.

Eating meat?

If you let go of the moral taboo in your heart. Maybe Fallen Leaf City does have a lot of 'meat'.

There were gobbling sounds everywhere.

Obviously, there should be a little chaos because of hunger and panic at this time, but I don't know why every time the masked woman's voice sounded, everyone's hearts were quiet, they received food in a quiet and orderly manner, and then prepared for battle after filling their stomachs. When you have a full meal, you will naturally have strength, and the arrival of reinforcements will obviously boost the morale of the temple guards.

The foundation of a church is definitely not simple.

Most of the surviving priests are close to the high rank, and the temple guards have gone through the first round of siege battles, and most of the surviving ones are now professionals of the third order or above.

Among them, there are also many special advanced guardian knights.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to hold off an orc army ten times their size, and they would be able to hold out for that long.

"Praise be to my lord!"

"Praise be to my lord!"

"Praise be to my lord!"

When the flame of hope was rekindled, many people couldn't help but kneel on the ground and pray for praise.

The masked woman smiled and stared at the qiē in front of her!

She seemed to be the center of a qiē, and when anyone's eyes fell on her, the heart couldn't help but blow a gentle breeze.

Soon.

Everyone boarded the battleship, and the retreating pirate elite appeared in front of them.

The priests and temple guards ascended to the deck, and the civilians were housed in the cabins, all in a fairly orderly manner, without the slightest panic from start to finish.

Sauron's figure appears in the darkness of the night.

He looked at the masked woman in front of him with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and then said sternly: "Prepare to fight!" Reload your ammo! ”

"The orcs are catching up."

………………

Eugene arrived quickly.

Orc warriors have a distinct physical advantage over humans, and when all the civilians are housed in the cabin, the mighty army of orcs also appears in the lookout's field of vision.

"Dig a slot!"

The old fur dog stood on the lookout with a telescope and muttered, "What enemies! If they dare to rush up, how many will we kill in one shot? ”

They are pirates.

Although the coastal areas are also restricted by the Church, the control of alchemical weapons is not so strict.

Almost every battleship had cannons on it, and although solid shells were used, the lethality was still great for ordinary soldiers. The catastrophe brought by the Arcane Empire has caused many ecclesiastical powers to strictly control the alchemy process, but there are not so many restrictions in the field where pirates are active, and the artillery power of Sauron's control should be one of the few in the entire material plane. If it is put on naval battles, maybe the lethality is not very good, but if it is replaced by a dense formation battle on land, it is really a bloody way to clear up with one shell.

"Come on, come on!"

Scarface walked out with a sinister smile, he had a wound on his left arm, he was injured by a half-orc sword saint, fortunately the other party had just advanced, and he also carefully prepared a quenched hand crossbow (the venom used by the natives), otherwise he would be slaughtered by the enemy. There was actually a half-orc sword master hidden in the battle formation, and Scarface, who was almost killed in the shadow, took out two iron balls connected by chains with a cruel smile, and then personally put them into the cannon chamber, and said with a strange smile: "Put this in!" It's cool enough to fight with this cannonball! ”

The enemy is getting closer.

Because they were busy putting civilians on board the ship at the beginning, the pirates certainly didn't have time to retreat at this time.

So as soon as Sauron's order was given, the giant led the elite pirates to form a formation on the riverside, and then waited with antiquation on his face for the enemy to rush in.

Don't dare to come up.

If they dare to come up, these hundreds of cannons will definitely teach them to be new people in minutes!

………………

Eugene stopped.

It stared at the battleships in front of it, and its face became quite difficult to look at.

Pirate!

It had traveled all over the continent, and it was impossible not to be impressed by the pirate warships. Although the ship does not have a pirate flag on it, it can recognize that all of these enemies are pirates at a glance.

A cannon of one by one.

Although Eugene himself scoffed at this inferior alchemy weapon and would not pay attention to it at all, it was also well aware of the damage that this weapon would do to ordinary warriors. Its clumsy cannon body and slow firing rate are a scrap of metal in many battles, but in a situation like the one in front of them, their lethality is quite amazing!

Fallen Leaf City also has cannons.

But the half-elf is proud of being excellent archers, and the dozens of cannons on the city gate are simply decorations, and they are not at the same level as the muzzles of the black hole in front of them.

Cannons are standard for pirates!

Whether it is the skill of the gunners, or the number of cannons, or the power of artillery fire, the coastal areas are not comparable to the inland areas.

If you force your attack.

I'm afraid they'll have to resist a round of artillery fire!

[Notes: The Druid Church has a deep hatred for alchemy, believing that it destroys the harmony of nature, and that the wounds left by nature that cannot be healed for thousands of years are all disasters caused by the alchemy process studied by the Arcane Empire.] Therefore, wherever the Druidic Church is active, the process of alchemical control is very strict.
