The tributaries of the Groboll River rose up in a white mist, and the warm autumn sun shone on the surface of the river shrouded in the mist, and the huge black shadows were like ancient glaciers crashing into the vast ocean, rolling up large white waves, and the shadows of the large warships in the fog were like terrible beasts, revealing their hideous fangs in this tranquility.

On the wide surface of the river, the water splashes are broken into crystal clear white droplets under the huge ship, and under the white mist, the black shadows are moving, and under the seemingly calm water surface, the turbulent dark tide forms an invisible whirlpool.

An exaggerated-looking double-decker battleship sailed out of the fog, with a hull structure close to three stories, a huge keel like a blade cutting through a river, and an iron fist-like spike in the bow that radiated a ghostly glow.

On this wide river, the monster-like behemoth that makes the river seem so narrow is reminiscent of the huge ship that should crisscross the vast sea.

On such a domineering battleship, a flag symbolizing Xiliu City was raised high.

And behind this capital battleship, there are more than a dozen frigates that seem to be small in size, but in fact they are of medium physique, and these terrible sea hegemons form a fleet battle group, which is moving all the way along the river.

If Rhodes had seen these warships cut through the fog, he would have judged that this was the main warship of almost all of Xiliu City's belongings.

——— additional notes———

It is a semi-finished ship that has been carefully built by a master shipbuilder.

It is recorded that it was sunk at one of the Battle of Harbor, and after being captured, the ship was given a new lease of life, and although it was not particularly perfect in some places, its powerful size and terrifying ramming angles were enough to make it known as a "nightmare at sea".

(PS: If Master Francis knew that his hard work had become a nondescript garbage ramming battleship, he would probably crawl out of his grave in anger.) ）

————————

Perhaps others didn't recognize the flagship, but Rhodes remembered it vividly.

The "Black Blade", known as the "Nightmare of the Seas", and the "Good Guy Richard", which will be called the "Warrior of the Seas" in the future, are two legendary magical warships, which are incomparable to even the terrifying ships of the ancients.

The former has always been the flagship of Xiliu City.

And the good guy Richard is the car of a pirate who is very unlucky, and accompanies the pirate to glory.

unimaginable.

At this time, this three-story giant battleship, whose quality could not be evaluated, was actually a half-finished product built by a peerless ship master.

Rhodes had been in the Salt Coast for a long time, and he was the one who cooperated with some countries on the West Coast to carry out the encirclement and suppression of the giant deep-sea monster Lotus.

Due to the conflict of maritime supremacy on the Salt Coast, countless armies were defeated in the aforementioned [Battle of Winter Harbor], and there were also some famous naval battles, among which the dock of the [Black Blade] was destroyed.

Thales of Weststream City secretly got this battleship very early, and secretly transformed it into a terrifying firepower ship, and with the spread of Thales's name as the "King of the Salt Coast", this ship has been transformed and upgraded by more and more shipbuilders, and finally became the "Two Legends".

Of course.

At this time, Xiliu City did not have the terrifying sea power of exaggerated scale in the future, and it was remarkable that they had been able to assemble such a good fleet so far.

In the command room of the battleship.

The neat and clean command room was illuminated by flickering lights, an old map was spread out on the table in the room, and some instruments and things necessary for navigation hung from the walls of the room.

Thales, the young lord of Weststream, was dressed in a modest aristocratic attire, and a pair of leather boots set him off very neatly, without too much ornamentation, and he looked at the map in contemplation, looking like a senior naval officer.

The light hit his face, covering his aristocratic facial features with a faint layer of femininity, just standing there, but giving people a mysterious and cunning feeling.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Fingers tapped lightly on the wooden tabletop, and Thales' gaze was fixed on a point on the map, his face so nonchalant.

"Judging by the time, Viscount Winton must have arrived in Blackwood Town."

In the command room, the young city lord held his chin in one hand and whispered to himself, his eyes swept around the map, slowly raised his head, and said to the air: "The second legion in the Emerald City must have arrived at the [Spear Pass] three days ago. ”

"Yes, sir."

A cold female voice sounded in the small and dim room, the voice echoed faintly in the air, but there was no trace of a human figure in sight, but under the illumination of the light, the shadow reflected on the wall in the command room was extremely distorted.

"Not long ago, [Spider] did as you instructed."

"The second legion of the Emerald City has recently been temporarily assigned by the nobles in the city to guard the spear pass because of the 'increased pressure on the monsters in the spear pass'."

The cold female voice narrated without emotion.

"Huh."

Thales smiled lightly, sat on the chair behind him, looked at the map with his slender fingers crossed, a gleam flashed in his eyes, and said lightly: "It's worthy of [spider]." ”

Spider!

The Shadow Society's most powerful killer, and at the same time, the best intelligence and spy operatives, this mysterious shadow has been of great help to Thales in his rise.

If the title of "King of the Salt Coast" was taken by Thales with army and force, then behind the sword and iron blood of blood and fire is the cunning and terrifying dark methods of [Spider].

At this moment.

Looks like the [spider] is the one who made a move.

"The dense web woven by the spider, as long as it is the prey that it fancy, there is no escape, and when the spider begins to collect the web, the prey will be destroyed little by little under the condition of tight inching."

Thales thought happily.

Any forum boss who studies the King of the Salt Coast knows very well that although many people say that the luck of the king's rise is very large, it is undeniable that he is an extremely good strategist and conspirator himself.

Just like this time.

That Viscount Winton probably didn't expect that one of the three troops of the "First Legion", "Second Legion" and a city garrison that was originally stationed in Emerald City had already been transferred.

And it was just temporarily transferred to the [Spear Pass]!

On the map, it is clearly displayed that the three points of Spear Pass - Civil Forts - Emerald City have reached a straight line.

As far as the garrison of Fort Civilis itself is concerned, as long as this pioneer with a short history is willing to resist with all its might, Viscount Winton, who is taking advantage of the benefits everywhere, may not be able to defeat it in the short term.

At this time, once a sharp blade stretches out from the spear pass behind his back, no matter how elite the Clover Legion is, in the face of the situation of flanking back and forth, it will only have to be hated.

"Winton, Winton, don't blame me for not giving you a chance!"

Thales didn't know where to get a glass of red wine, shook the scarlet liquid, and gently pursed his lips gracefully, the corners of his mouth most evoked a smile that was inevitable.

"Starting from Blackwood Town, approach all the way to the west side, take the civil fort as fast as possible, and you still have a chance to live." The corners of his mouth hooked.

Truly.

If Viscount Winton follows the established plan, like a razor, all the way to the Civil Fort, and moves closer to the east side of the Emerald City as quickly as possible, thus forming a counter-attack with Thales's fleet, he can completely end this battle before the [Spear Pass] legion can react.

"But ......"

"Winton is the same as the group of idiots in the city, let them cut in quickly, I'm afraid there are no people who are really willing to cut in quickly to cooperate with my main army, and now they are probably spreading around the network around Blackwood Town."

Thales shook his glass, a sneer.

"Huh!"

"A bunch of short-sighted guys! In their eyes, they only looted the spoils of war, and as for the revival of Xiliu City and the Great Loop strategy, they have long forgotten everything. They all just want to make a fortune on those pioneer leaders, and then sit back and wait for the main army to attack the Emerald City, and then the big guys, and finally return unscathed, such nobles, what use do I want them! ”

I have to say that Thales has a good grasp of the situation and people's hearts.

He knew Winton's character, to be precise, the character of all nobles, and he was more adept at creating situations, making people feel palpitated about intrigue and design.

In this Great Loop strategy.

The overall situation is that the mercenaries in the west and the regular army in the east form a big loop, but in the regular army, it is divided into a small loop from the east and west.

What Winton didn't expect was even more.

Around Winton, Thales used the Shadow Society to design a small chain, the Spear Pass and the Civil Fort, but this link was aimed at his own Viscount Winton.

One after another, Winton and the others were moving forward step by step according to his design, and they were very accurate about the timing, and this grasp of the fighter and timing had reached the level of a [famous general].

The King of the Salt Coast is not a guy who relies on luck.

Suddenly, there was a noise outside the command room, and a soldier in half-armor hurriedly ran down from the deck, he respectfully pushed open the door, and said to Thales, "My lord, we are about to arrive at the [Emerald City] ahead. ”

Hearing this, Thales put down his glass.

"Tell me to go! Burn the wind! ”

His voice sank, his face became very serious, and he ordered: "Send a message to the other ships, let the ships lower their davits in time, and we are ready to land on the beach!" Other warships are always ready to suppress and cover with fire! ”

"Yes!" The soldier paused for a moment, immediately replied loudly, then turned and ran outside.

Grab the beach!

Thales: This is going to directly prepare the rhythm of storming the Emerald City.

But it was also expected, after all, he had transferred the Second Legion out of Emerald City three days ago, and there was only one First Legion in Emerald City at present, and a miscellaneous permanent garrison.

At this time, the Emerald City can be described as the lowest point of defense in history.

There are dark sons such as [spiders] that Thales has buried in the city a long time ago, and due to the pressure of the Ponse Mountains, most of the Emerald Territory's forces are on the side of the pass, and even some pioneer leaders have caused varying degrees of losses.

It can be said that with the loss of peripheral support and the defenders in the city, this is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a strong attack.

From this point of view.

Thales' use of stratagem to transfer the Second Legion of the Emerald City has expanded indefinitely.

Politically, the Emerald City's Second Legion, in conjunction with the Tumubao army, greatly weakened the political rival, Viscount Winton.

Secondly, militarily, whether it was the Second Legion or the Clover Legion of Viscount Winton, the two of them were equivalent to a barrier, resisting the pressure of the Ponse Pass.

After all, once something happens to the mercenary, and Ponser Pass sends troops to increase the number of troops, Thales's hand is equivalent to erecting a shield.

And even if the enemy's reinforcements did break through and they arrived, Thales would have already entered the city by then.

To know.

The Emerald City is the essence of the Emerald Collar.

There is a famous theory in the world, called the "Three Seven Theory", and the consciousness is that "seventy percent of the world's wealth is in the hands of three layers of people." ”

This Emerald City holds most of the wealth of the Emerald Collar, and Thales can say that as long as he grabs a wave here, all other losses will be made up.

Just as Thales gave the order.

In the Civil Fort, about fifty miles away from the Emerald City, a huge battle was also launched.

The banner of the four-leaf clover of the Legion was flying, and the black-pressed soldiers pressed against it like a tide, while their enemies, dominating the walls of granite and hard ore, fought back.

After a long network of raids, Viscount Winton finally began to attack the Civil Fort.

But unlike some of the towns, the fortified walls of the castle were a great obstacle to Winton, but the enemy walls were also lost by the neat Clover Legion.

Even under the merciless bombardment of some ballistas in the rear, part of the city wall has cracked, and it is believed that a few more times can tear a hole.

However, as Thales had expected, the enemies of the fort were stubborn in their resistance, and the battle for the walls had been a stalemate, which made Viscount Winton very anxious and irritable.

Maybe it was Heaven that favored him.

At this time, near the Spear Pass behind him, and for some special reasons, the progress of the Second Legion, which should have returned quickly, was delayed for a while, and it was precisely this moment that gave Winton a little respite.
