On the whitewater river, which is shrouded in night, two large ships that have been completely remodeled and look extremely strange are sailing through the rolling waves with speed and agility completely out of their size.

These are two large ships that still have a vague outline of river sail warships, but about one-third of the original wooden hull is covered with a layer of metal plates for reinforcement and magic guidance, the sails that were originally used as the power of the ship have also been removed, and the base for fixing the mast is installed with huge and sturdy metal brackets, and a straight structure like feathers extends to the sides and upwards on both sides of the hull, and the magic runes on the "wings" structure shimmer in the night, and reflect the magic crystal lights throughout the hull. Aside from the conspicuous "wing" structure, known as the "Magic Array", the most conspicuous thing on both ships was the two huge magic devices installed on the deck.

Their base outline appears to be that of an extraordinarily large Magic Crystal Railgun, but instead of a straight parallel metal rail, the "barrel" is three alloy "beams" with an elegant arc arranged in the shape of a "pin" on the front, the inner side of the alloy beam is covered with magic patterns, and a transparent and slender artificial crystal is held in the center of the three alloy beams by some kind of mechanical locking device, and in the second half of the alloy beam, a slightly rudimentary but sturdy steel mechanism can be seen connecting the entire "barrel" to the base.

The size of this device is almost twice that of the first generation of the Magic Crystal Railgun, although according to the development law of general technical creation, after the technology matures, it must have room for improvement that can optimize the structure and reduce the volume, but judging from the size of its birth, this is definitely a powerful thing.

The power ridges that extend from below the deck and are covered with magic patterns, as well as the magic net runes that can be seen everywhere on the deck, and the set of amplifiers exposed in the back half of the weapon base, all emphasize the "power" of this thing.

Carrying such a heavy set of "transformation results", the two ships that were originally just inland wooden warships will naturally become bulky, but their speed in the water is fast, and it is still a night when the clouds block the stars, the ships of this era have almost no habit of "night sailing", and there are no other ships on the Baishui River, and on the wide and clean river, the two warships are speeding out of the speed that any captain of this era will be stunned.

It's all because the waves of the Whitewater River are "pushing" the two boats forward.

The two warships sailed one after the other, and the originally calm and waveless river of Baishui rolled up waves near the two ships, and these waves did not make the ships shake at all, but pushed them smoothly all the way, and on the water between the waves, there was an elegant and almost dreamlike figure that quickly shuttled between the foam and the water.

It was a girl with a beautiful fishtail, she shuttled in the water, her body jumped out of the water from time to time, dancing with the waves around her, her fishtail slapped foam, and the waves next to her were in tune, she was like a fairy in the water, a fairy in the legendary river, and the whole white water river frolicking.

Byron stepped out of the cabin and breathed in the fresh, cool air of the river in Whitewater, and when he saw Tyr weaving through the waves, he couldn't help but whisper: "You look more energetic when you swim in the water." ”

There was a sound of footsteps, and Gawain's voice sounded behind Byron: "That's because she had slept for two days and two nights before this, and if she didn't wake up, I would really suspect that the fish had died in the pool." ”

Byron turned around and saw that the lord, dressed in his usual robe, was also looking at the figure of Helityr.

He saluted Gawain, "Lord." ”

Gawain waved his hand and asked casually, "How is the situation on Philip's side?" ”

Byron shook his head: "The Rock Fortress sent a team of transcendents to attack the temporary camp, but the 'sneak attack plan' that those nobles can toss up is really naïve and ridiculous, and I am afraid that it will not cause any damage except for the loss of manpower before the war." ”

Gawain was not without surprise at this: "It's already an improvement that they can make a sneak attack, if it weren't for the southern nobles who were beaten by us to run to the Rock Fortress, I guess the orthodox knights in the fortress wouldn't even be able to think of such tactics as harassing and destroying the camp." ”

"Yes, those nobles have finally learned to fight," Byron smacked his lips, and sighed, "but I'm afraid that Philip will have to dwell on the 'war of the nobility' for a while, and the ...... of the 'war of the nobility' will never return, and the spirit of chivalry will be vulnerable."

Gawain turned his head and glanced at Byron, and his tone was a bit quipping: "You know Philip quite well." ”

"Hey, we've been working together for six years - that kid is really talented, he became a full-fledged knight six years ago, and I'm afraid he will be able to reach the middle level in these two years, and he may have the opportunity to challenge the high-level ...... in this life" Speaking of this, Byron couldn't help but shake his head, "It's a pity that the head is a little wooden, and I take all the nonsense things like knight stories and heroic biographies as true, and it's the first time I've seen anyone believe that knights can influence evil dragons with faith after the age of seventeen." ”

Gao Wen, who is a legendary hero himself and has a lot of hero biographies on his body, is a little embarrassed: "Ahem, hero biographies are not necessarily all made up......"

"Ahh

Gao Wen reacted when he saw him like this, and said with a wooden face: "The books of more than eighty princesses are really made up." ”

"Ahem, yes, that must be the same as you said......" Byron coughed on the spot, and then changed the subject stiffly before the boss drew a knife and slashed (mercenary thoughts), "But then again, why don't you see Miss Amber?" ”

"She's seasick and won't be able to get up for a while," Gawain said casually, "and when she came out, she was more excited than anyone else...... I really don't know if she will have the strength to go to the Rock Fortress to carry out the mission after she reaches her destination. ”

"Does Miss Amber get seasick?" Byron was a little surprised, "I thought she had no weaknesses in anything related to running away......

Gao Wen was disdainful when he heard this: There is no weakness yet, is there still a weakness that is shameful of all things, and everyone knows the "weak mouse trap of the director of the military intelligence......

At this time, Byron put away his joke and asked a question he was very concerned about: "Lord, in fact, I thought you were going to set off with Philip at first, but I didn't expect you to be the 'second echelon' with me. ”

In the eyes of most people - and also from the fact that the first and second combat corps led by Philip is the frontal battlefield and the main force of the attack on the Rock Fortress, although the gate of the fortress may need to be pried open with the "calibrator" rainbow cannon, but it is the army led by Philip who really attacks the fortress and destroys the enemy's vital force.

"You should know that although I am going to the battlefield, I prefer that my presence is only symbolic - the Cecil Combat Corps should have the ability to take the fortress on its own, and if the attack on a rock fortress is to the point where I have to take it personally, then the commander of the army will apologize to the people of Cecil," Gawain explained, "and I am more interested in new weapons and new technologies than in the battle on Philip's side." ”

Byron couldn't help but look back at the "Calibler" rainbow cannon installed on the deck of the warship, this powerful new weapon crouched on the deck like a steel beast in the deep night, only a few runes showing the state of energy shimmered on its base, like the eyes of a beast.

"New weapons...... This stuff is really exciting. ”

"It's not just as simple as being energetic," Gawain shook his head slightly, his eyes focused on the rainbow cannon, but the focus of his gaze seemed to be placed farther away, "The magic crystal railgun and the rainbow cannon...... They can smash the castles of nobles or tear apart the barriers of mages, both of which are far from being worth through one or two wars. ”

……

The team sent to attack the Cecil camp and destroy the magic device failed.

The bad news was sent to the Rock Fortress, but the Cecil army continued to advance, and Sir Maryland's hair began to wear down at a rate visible to the naked eye.

He vaguely felt that his previous self-confidence ...... Maybe it's too much.

From the mouths of the southern nobles, he did realize the great threat posed by the Cecil, and based on the available information, he devised a plan that would weaken Cecil's army - a plan that was even contrary to chivalry.

Knowing that the Cecil's "Heavenly Fire Explosion" was delivered with some kind of magical device, and that the Cecil needed to establish a position in order for the magic device to be used to its fullest potential, he sent someone to try to destroy the magic device before it could be operated.

But those men were confronted with an extraordinarily strong force that seemed to be dedicated to fighting the Transcendental, and they were almost completely wiped out.

A small force attack was ineffective, and Sir Maryland could only begin to send troops to disrupt the enemy—the second plan against chivalry.

As we all know, the army is the most fragile and chaotic in the process, the large number of troops is difficult to effectively command in the operation, the low-level soldiers tend to be confused in the face of chaos, and the officers are unable to organize an effective counterattack in the panic of the soldiers, therefore, sneak attacks in the process of the enemy army can often achieve miraculous results - and it is precisely because the army in chaos is very likely to lead to accidental casualties among the nobles, so in the traditional aristocratic war, "attack the army on the march" It has always been a forbidden matter.

But now that he had made the move of attacking the camp at night, Sir Maryland no longer cared about breaking another line of chivalry.

However, on the 56th day of the month of fire in Ansu 736, the Cecilians set foot on the narrow plain south of the Rock Fortress as scheduled, and less than half of the troops sent out by Lord Maryland to harass them escaped.

Facing the stunned fortress general, the wounded knight who led the team told his nightmarish experience-

As he rushed at the Cecil with his soldiers, they were ready as if they had seen them, and without panic, the Cecil soldiers fought back with machine-like precision and subconscious—first some kind of "skyfire explosion" carried by individual soldiers, then thrown explosives and magic beams fired from their gauntlets, and finally enchanted swords that could easily split through the armor of ordinary soldiers, each of which was extremely powerful.

The so-called surprise attack was as if it was an active death.

It turned out that leaving the fortress and attacking aggressively, in whatever form it was, was not a good idea.

Sir Maryland could only sink his heart to the lowest and waited quietly for the arrival of the Cecil.

On the 57th day of the fire month of Ansu 736, the banner of the Cecil appeared at the end of the plain opposite the Rock Fortress.
