"The most important thing in this battle is the naval army led by Ke'er. The naval forces were not only our greatest guarantee for a raid on Edo Castle, but also our only way out. In the captain's room of the Royal Knight, Roger stood at his desk, pointing to a map of Edo Castle and explaining to the people around him.

"Whether the battle is successful or not, there is no possibility that we will capture Edo Castle. After all, this is the capital of the Tokugawa family, and the surrounding Tokugawa retainers will continue to send a large number of reinforcements to Edo Castle, so we must fight quickly and attack Edo Castle before everyone reacts! ”

"However, the news that we attacked Toba and Toba Castle should have reached Edo Castle by now. Edo Castle must have been on alert now, will such a raid really have an effect? Alice was still somewhat skeptical.

"That's why I went to sea overnight." Roger looked at her and nodded, "After the attack on Toba and Toba Castle, the people of the Nine Ghost Family will definitely send someone to Edo Castle for help and report on the situation of this battle. Since we were playing the banner of pirates before, it should be able to confuse a little bit. Even if these tricks were useless, it would take a lot of time to get in and out of Edo Castle after receiving the news and issuing an assembly order to the retainers. Before we could raid Edo Castle, the most we could do was send reinforcements to Edo Castle from a few nearby castles. ”

"But no matter what, these generals released by the Tokugawa family will definitely gather in Edo Castle as soon as possible." Roger tapped on a few cities on another map.

"Yes, the Four Heavenly Kings of the Tokugawa family will definitely rush to Edo Castle as soon as possible." Sakurahime nodded and said very seriously. "Edo Castle always had 20,000 troops, while the Honka, I, and Kamihara families all had about 15,000 troops. With the strength of several other cities, we have to deal with it. It should be a huge army with a total of more than 60,000 troops. ”

"If there really are only so many enemies, it's pretty simple." Roger shook his head, "In this big battle, I have brought more than 40,000 huge troops to the Elemental Legion alone, and all of them are high-level troops above the sixth order. In addition, the Night Elves of the Emerald City, I also brought about 5,000 elite troops. And Alice's command also gathered 10,000 troops, and the 2,000 troops of the Sea Clan, the total strength also reached nearly 60,000. And the quality is much higher than that of the enemy army in Edo Castle......"

"Wait! Just kidding! You're just an elemental city, and you're able to mobilize such a huge force? Alice's eyes widened suddenly, and she subconsciously covered her mouth with her hand.

"Actually, I have two elemental cities, and most of these elemental legions are recruits with little combat experience." Roger pouted, "I naturally summon as many elemental creatures as I can that don't need logistical support, which is why there are such a huge number. But elemental soldiers who have never been on the battlefield, even if they have the direct command of several heroes, their combat ability will be discounted. ”

"Standing and talking doesn't hurt your back!" Alice pouted, dissatisfied, using a word she had learned from Roger. "Even if the entire Free Federation of Warriors combined, it is only about 100,000 troops, but you have such a powerful force just by relying on a few alchemy cities. That's enough to shock the world, okay! ”

"Can we discuss these words later?" Giving Alice a blank look, Roger continued, "Where did you just say that? Well. By the way, the enemy army is except for the 60,000 Yingzhou soldiers on the surface. There should be a demon legion, and there should be a fish-man legion. So we ......"

"Urgent military intelligence! Report to the Castle Lord! Spot the enemy in the left front! The banner is the Edo Water Army! A phantom shooter scurried into the captain's quarters, interrupting Roger again.

"Don't get excited, take a breath first, and then tell me, the number of enemy troops." Although the veins on his forehead had burst out, Roger still smiled and asked about the phantom shooter.

"There are only two patrol boats, but Lord Meria has confirmed that the other party has sent a signal for help, and it is likely that the main force of the other party is nearby!" The female phantom shooter took a deep breath and said with a straight face.

"There's no way, Ke'er, you go and command the troops. It should be noted that in addition to the miscellaneous fish that can be ignored by the Edo Navy, it is likely that the other party also has a large number of fish-man troops. Roger sighed helplessly, and then instructed Kerr.

Kerr nodded, and then calmly left the captain's room.

"That's all I have to say, there are two more troops of unknown numbers on the other side. The worst-case scenario is that we must divide more than 10,000 sailors to deal with the fishmen, and then divide another force of more than 10,000 to deal with the demon troops, and then use about 30,000 troops to attack the 60,000 Yingzhou Legion with the advantage of city defense. Roger spread his hands helplessly, "And in order to cover the assault force that infiltrated Edo Castle, we can't use delaying tactics yet, we must attack with all our strength to contain the enemy army, and I'm afraid the casualties will be very large." ”

"The demon army that can only exist, leave it to me." Alice held her head high and said, "With the Angel Force and the Juggernaut Force, it shouldn't be a problem for me to contain that Demon Army." ”

"There is the powerful Naga Sword Saint in the naval army under Lord Kerr, and the angel troops and the Sword Saint troops under the command of Lord Alice, the siege troops have the hard-hitting rock elemental troops, and the most dangerous is probably the assault force of His Highness Roger, right?" Granny looked directly at Roger and said, "The other three forces are actually just to cover the assault troops, and the casualties can be controlled, but it is impossible for the Tokugawa generals to be protected without strong troops around them, do you really have the confidence to break through that last line of defense?" ”

"Kerr will command the naval army, and Tuna will command the siege troops, so when the time comes, there will only be three legendary powerhouses in the assault force: Rabbit, Wendy, and me. Judging from the current situation, there should be at least two legendary swordsmen on the other side. Roger shook his head in distress, "If you want to kill the Tokugawa family's general, I'm not sure." But with our assault, Aisha and the others should be able to steal the leaves of the World Tree while they are in chaos. So this time the operation can still be tried. ”

Sakurahime frowned suddenly, but she eventually resisted. He didn't say what had already come to his lips.

"That's all for this meeting. Originally, I wanted to rely on the support of Kerr's naval army to escort us to land on the beach, but now it seems that it is not very realistic. Roger shook his head helplessly, since the fleet had been discovered by the enemy, the rest of the troops naturally didn't want to land directly in peace.

Now that Roger has announced the end of the meeting, Alice and the others have left one after another, after all, the enemy they have to face this time is quite strong, and everyone is actually sweating in their hearts.

"Wait, Sakurahime, wait a minute. I have something to say to you. Roger said suddenly, and Sakurahime, who was about to go out, suddenly stopped, and Hattori Sayuri and Yashi Koaki naturally stayed.

After everyone else left, Roger waved his hand and laid down a magic barrier, then looked at Sakurahime and said, "You also heard, we probably won't be able to kill the Tokugawa family's generals this time." Even so, do you want to try to assassinate him? ”

"Of course!" Sakurahime's eyes suddenly revealed unforgettable hatred: "He killed my father and younger brother, and ate my mother alive, how could I let him go!" ”

"And what about after revenge? What are you going to do? Roger asked, staring at Sakurahime very seriously.

"Huh? This. This ......" Sakurahime suddenly avoided his gaze.

"Actually, in Underwater City, I started to doubt when you promised me." Roger grimaced, "At that time." What appears in your eyes is not shyness, but death! You're probably planning to take revenge. Just cut off your own life! ”

Sakurahime's face changed suddenly, and she bit her lip. He looked at Roger with a complicated expression.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm really not interested in you." Roger shook his head helplessly. "But what happens to your retainers if you die?"

Sakurahime's body stiffened suddenly, and she didn't have to look back to understand that Hattori Sayuri and Yakuro Koaki were staring at her tightly.

"Not to mention the others, just Sayuri and Xiao Ming, I'm sure they will definitely go with you." Roger shook his head helplessly, "What you have on your shoulders is not a responsibility of one person." ”

Sakurahime was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head and hugged the round mirror in her arms tightly. And Hattori Sayuri and Servant Koaki looked at Roger with complicated expressions.

"I know, you must want to entrust your retainers to me, but!" Roger straightened his face again, "What I want to say is that I hate Yingzhou people!" Don't ask me why, just know that I hate Yingzhou people very much! ”

This time, the three of them all looked at the ugly Roger with a strange face: the three of them are also genuine Yingzhou people.

"Therefore, if you do die, then I will not hesitate to throw your retainers into a corner somewhere, and don't expect me to take care of them! I really, really hate the people of Yingzhou! Roger said very calmly.

Sakurahime and the three of them looked at each other speechlessly, and looked at Roger speechlessly: The atmosphere has completely changed, has it!

"So! Live, you have to live a good life for me! Roger looked at Sakura very solemnly and said, "The meaning of survival, the goal of life, you can spend a lot of time looking for it!" As long as you live honestly, I won't do anything to those Yingzhou people who were sent to Emerald City by you! Do you understand? ”

Despite Roger's threatening face, Hattori Sayuri and Yakura Akira behind Sakurahime looked at him gratefully. Listening to Roger's murderous words, Sakurahime lowered her head again, her face flickering.

Her hand holding the round mirror was already a little white.

"If you agree, then I promise you that I will kill the old turtle of the Tokugawa family, do you understand?" Roger said very solemnly.

Sakurahime suddenly raised her head, her eyes wide.

Sakurahime, who has been in the Emerald City for a long time, knows very well that there is not a single thing that Roger has promised that has not been done.

Tears quickly appeared in her eyes, and Sakurahime couldn't help nodding her head again and again, and then began to choke. Behind her, Hattori Sayuri and Servant Xiaoming bent down deeply.

"Uh, what are you crying about? Uh-huh, forget it, just say yes. "Women's tears or something, but they have always been a big killer, at least the current Roger can't deal with it, so he just fled.

"That's it!"

With a few words, Roger went straight out of the door, and then he closed the door, letting Sakurahime cry inside.

"Well, it should be a good thing for her to cry like this, right?" Roger scratched his head in annoyance and headed towards the deck.

On the deck, Kerr was the only one calmly commanding the Water Elemental Legion. Her opponent was the Edo Navy with hundreds of boats.

Melia's judgment was not wrong, the main force of the Edo naval army had indeed been waiting for a long time.

This time, on each ship of the Edo Navy, the Onmyoji was invited to set up some anti-freezing magic arrays. Although it was a temporary arrangement, after the Onmyoji of the Tokugawa family did not hesitate to consume a large amount of precious magic materials, these Ataka ships were no longer afraid of the freezing effect.

However, Ke'er didn't play any ice boat tactics this time, but directly let the sea elementals and ice elementals with 5,000 each rush up, easily drowning the fleet of the Edo naval army.

Ke'er, who had long seen that the Edo Navy had been prepared, directly asked the ice elementals to throw ice bombs at the sailors on the boat, and the five thousand ice bombs directly froze most of the Edo Navy Army. Although the Edo Navy can spend a lot of money to have the Onmyoji treat the ship with anti-icing, there is certainly no way to make all the sailors on the ship have anti-freezing armor.

After all, high-quality armor or something, here on Yingzhou Island, can only be owned by samurai level, and many samurai regard armor as an heirloom. Not to mention magical equipment, a treasure that only castle lords or even daimyos can have.

And without the magic equipment to resist freezing, the sailors of the Edo Navy could only be helplessly frozen into ice sculptures by ice bombs, and the Edo Navy Army, where most of the troops were frozen, was naturally easily taken down in the face of the Water Elemental Legion, which far surpassed them in quantity and quality.

However, to Roger's surprise, even when the final defeat was like a mountain, none of these sailors of the Edo Navy surrendered, but fought with the Water Elemental Legion as if they were dead, causing a lot of trouble to the Water Elemental Legion.

Of course, it's just a little bothersome.

"Ke'er, do you know what's going on?" Seeing that the sailors of the Edo Navy were stubbornly resisting to death, Roger, who knew the urine nature of the Yingzhou people, suddenly frowned.

"The cause has been found, it is the influence of demonic blood." Ke'er said very indifferently, but Roger, who heard the news, was a little calm.

"Demon blood? Demonization? Damn, the Yingzhou soldiers, who were originally the best to deal with at this moment, may become the most difficult force to deal with. Roger was immediately worried. (To be continued.) )
