On the coast, on the watchtower built high, the soldiers in charge of monitoring the situation in the surrounding sea did not chat as usual, on the contrary, their faces were unprecedentedly grim, and their eyes looked at the sea in the distance.

On the rough sea in the distance, the black dots that were almost insignificant gradually magnified, and through the refraction effect of the telescope, these soldiers could clearly see the flags engraved with sparks on the battleship, and the elven warriors full of fighting spirit.

"Woo-woo-woo-"

With the sound of the horn on the watchtower, the continuous screeching sound stretched from the seaside to the city of Paris.

"What's going on?"

Chopin put down the document in his hand and frowned.

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, there is news from the port that an elven warship is rapidly approaching, but ...... However, the banner on it is the mark of the "Heavenly Heart" kingdom. ”

A herald in charge of delivering the message hurriedly ran in, and then said a little breathlessly.

"Oh, Forderson?"

Chopin nodded and said thoughtfully.

"How many people are there? How many battleships are there? ”

"There are a total of twelve warships, and the exact number is not yet clear, but I think there are about 1,000 people, but ......"

"But what?"

Hearing the other party's words, Chopin's brows suddenly furrowed.

"But there are still five towering trees on the sea, each of which is at least more than 20 meters high, which is really ......."

It seemed that some could not believe such a thing, and the herald soldier did not know how to describe it when he said this.

"War Ancient Tree?"

Hearing the other party's description, as if thinking of something, Chopin whispered a sentence in his mouth, and then stood up with his body open.

Although the humans of the West Sea at this time occupy an absolute dominant position, the rest of the races will hardly appear, and the same is true for the elves, but for the elves

The most pompous thing about the elves is naturally their beautiful appearance, whether they are men or women, the vast majority of the elves are exceptionally handsome, and for this reason, the lords and nobles of the major drifting islands are also particularly interested in the elves.

However, the elves are not only handsome, but their combat power is actually quite amazing.

The most talked about of the elves is undoubtedly the elven archers. Almost all elves are natural marksmen, they are born with great arm strength, and each elven archer has a bow forged from the branches of the tree of life, which is not only stronger than the average bow, but also lighter.

In addition, they also have a bow and crossbow structure far beyond the level of the West Sea, which makes the feather arrow throwing distance of all elven archers almost twice the distance of the archers in the West Sea, in fact, in the past hundreds of years, some of the great nobles of the West Sea have not organized a joint army, wanting to conquer the elves, but the final result is a fiasco, often before the two sides officially collide, under the terrifying and dense rain of arrows, they will suffer heavy losses.

In fact, the elven archers not only have an absolute advantage in range, but what is even more incomprehensible is that the feathered arrows they shoot are also amazingly powerful, and the special arrows made from the branches of the tree of life are even more terrifying, compared to the roar of lead bullets, it is not the same.

However, unlike the flintlock guns, the arrows fired by these elven archers can accurately hit the enemy, even from a distance of hundreds of meters.

However, the number of elven clansmen has always been extremely rare, which seems to be a natural limitation, and the probability of elves giving birth to offspring is extremely low.

As for the magicians of the elf clan, compared to the elven archers, there is undoubtedly a lot less, but compared to the probability of a magician appearing in the human realm, it is not much higher, and the elven clan, who are naturally close to nature, are far more powerful than ordinary human magicians when they release magic.

Unlike humans, elves attach great importance to bloodlines, and the inheritance of their power is also largely carried out by bloodlines.

In the elven race, the probability of a low-level elf becoming a magician is actually much lower than that of a high-level elf.

In addition to being good at magic, the elves, who claim to be the daughters of the "goddess of the forest", are also very good at cultivating various plants, and the most shocking and feared of them is the Ancient War Tree.

No one knows exactly how they cultivated such a terrifying war weapon, but according to past records, the War Ancient Tree seems to have always had a great restriction and can only move within a certain range, but now it seems that either the record is wrong, or the elves have transformed the War Ancient Tree to free them from this restriction.

"Did these elves take refuge in Fordson?"

Chopin muttered to himself, and walked back and forth in the room twice before he spoke again: "Order, let Jiman and Kit prepare to meet the enemy, and the command of this war will be given to the two of them."

Outside, the sun is just right, and the autumn breeze is coming.

************

With Chopin's order, a large number of soldiers inside and outside Paris began to gather rapidly, and the city of Paris at this time was like a high-speed war machine.

At the same time, Giman had boarded the galleon Galen, which was the flagship.

Looking at the dozen or so warships that rushed straight in front of him, Jiman's face was full of disdain and sarcasm.

Although the two sides were not yet at war, Giman seemed to have seen the battleships crushed under the roar of endless artillery fire, and then one pirate after another struggled like chickens in the rough seas, and finally sank to the bottom of the sea in despair.

However, the dozen or so elven warships on the opposite side did not change their plans in the slightest because of the warships that rushed out from Jiman's side, and they still rushed straight over.

"Very well, let them see what it means to be truly invincible at sea."

Seeing that the other party did not have the slightest awareness, Jiman also smiled and shook his head.

After Chopin's expansion, the naval strength of the French Empire at this time was twice as strong as in the past.

One galen, three brigs, three brigs, five corvettes, twenty heavy galos!

This kind of combat power, even in the Sail Era of later generations, is definitely a force that should not be underestimated, and at this time in the other world, this has almost become an invincible term.

However, all the sail warships still revolve around the galleon as the core, although the number of warships under Chopin at this time is quite a lot, but the number of large warships such as second-class ships and third-class ships is still too small, of course, it is enough to deal with these naval warships in the other world.

"These arrogant guys, let them experience the roar from Earth Technology!"

Looking at the elven warships in front of him, what filled Jiman's eyes at this time was a burning ambition.

With a roar from Jiman, on both sides of the cabins of the warships, there were hidden windows that had been opened up.

With that shouting vigorously, the heavy guns were slowly pushed out, and with the adjustment of the gunners, the guns were already aimed at the battleships in front of them, and the sailors on it were still talking and laughing, completely unaware that one of their feet had reached the abyss of hell.

The bronze pipes the size of bowls are like bloodthirsty beasts, which may show their terrifying and hideous at any time.

And when those elven warships were nearly a thousand meters away from Jiman's side, Jiman's face became more and more solemn.

Although according to the comparison of the combat power of the two sides at this time, Jiman and them are definitely enough to crush each other, but the lion fights the rabbit and still uses all their strength, and in the naval battles in modern history, I don't know how many battles that could have been won, but because of the commander's carelessness and pride, they were finally reversed.

Directly pulled out the long sword pinned to his waist through stamping technology, and the cold glow brought out by the long sword was enough to make all the naval soldiers around him throb.

"Pass my orders, all ready!"

"Understood, the order goes down, and everyone prepares!"

The adjutant on the side took a deep breath, and then hurriedly shouted to several heralds on the side.

"All ready—"

"All ready—"

And just when the two sides were about to break out, with the three giant war ancient trees that climbed directly ashore, more than 500 elves poured out of the "brush".

After landing on the shore, the elves formed several orderly phalanxes at the first time, and then quickly advanced inward along the coast, and soon after, the elves were sniped like a throat.

************

In order to guard against any accidents along the coastline, Chopin built several improvised defensive forts along the coastline of Drift Island.

At this time, the direction in which these elves advanced happened to pass through a fortress.

"Damn, all the line infantry are ready, as soon as these guys are closing in, shoot immediately."

At the first moment when the surging horn sounded, the commander thought he was ready for battle, but at this time, looking at the enemy in front of him, he couldn't help but curse angrily.

The attack of the elves was too sudden, and their warships sailed much faster than ordinary warships, and at this time, the large forces in the rear had not yet supported the way, and at this time, there was only a long spearman and a line of infantry stationed in the fortress, and it was absolutely impossible to deal with the five hundred archers and three terrifying ancient war trees in front of them.

It's just that what happened next made the face of the commander who had just commanded turn extremely blue.

And when there were still more than two hundred meters away from the fortress, all the elves suddenly stopped, and then bent their bows, set up arrows, and threw them in one go.

The next moment, the blue sky suddenly darkened for a moment, and then the locust-like feathered arrows came in a torrent.

"Damn it, dodge the arrows and find cover."

The commander obviously did not expect the range of these archers to reach such an exaggerated distance, and he was shocked and angry, but he had no choice but to roar angrily, and then beckoned his soldiers to hide.

However, under the surging feather arrows, many Imperial soldiers still died.

"Damn it, fire the artillery! Shoot the artillery! ”

At this time, there were four 12-pounder cannons on the fortress, and once they encountered any unstoppable enemies, these four 12-pounder cannons would undoubtedly become the key point to turn the tide of the war.

"Boom-"

The gunpowder quickly completed the three steps of ignition and expansion explosion in that small space, and then under the impetus of the terrifying power of this instant catharsis, four solid iron balls jumped through the sky with unimaginable high speed, like white horses passing through the gap.

And as the high-speed rotating iron ball fell, the scythe of the god of death also hung silently above the heads of all the fierce beasts.

And along with the high-speed spinning iron ball, it was the blazing light.

The next moment, the roar of artillery and the rapid roar of the rain of arrows were intertwined.

Only immediately afterward, the blood and terrible wails that all the Imperial soldiers had expected did not appear.

Just as the solid iron ball was about to fall into the surging elven army, the three ancient war trees that had been in the rear without any movement suddenly stretched out.

"Bang Bang Bang Bang ......"

With the rapid movement of leaves, thick branches danced wildly from the ancient war trees, and then, the four solid iron balls that flew out were all stopped.

However, the branches that stretched out, under the crazy roar of the four black pressed iron balls like thousands of beasts, did not last long, and they were pierced alive, but at this time, the impact force of the solid iron balls did not fly out for long, and they fell straight to the ground.

"This ......"

Seeing this scene, the commander really didn't know what to say at this time, and the scene in front of him really made him a little unbelievable.

"Damn, keep shooting! Keep shooting! ”

As soon as the commander reacted, he let out another fierce roar, but at this moment, with a huge shock on the ground, the three ancient war trees waved their thick branches again, and then smashed straight down towards the fortress.

"Boom-"

The fortress that originally seemed to be impregnable was smashed out of several deep cracks in the blink of an eye, although it was only a temporary fortress, not to mention how strong it was, but just a few simple slaps to create such a destructive force, the combat power of these ancient trees of war, it was inevitably too terrifying.

"Evacuate, evacuate!"

Knowing that something could not be done, the imperial commander took a deep breath, and then made a decision helplessly, but these elven archers obviously did not mean to let them go.

And at this critical moment, the long-overdue imperial army finally rushed over.
