The situation is extremely difficult for both sides.

Wu Xin on the beach of Tripoli was extremely nervous because he saw the Ottoman fleet appear, and hesitated to give up on rounding up the mythical shark.

Captain Sokuru on the sea was not much better, in fact, although he was stronger, his mentality was far more tense than Wu Xin's, and the situation he faced was actually worse.

However, in front of his subordinates, he still behaved calmly and calmly.

The captain was of ordinary stature, with a long beard, and his beard and hair were meticulously groomed even after a long life at sea, and he was dressed in clean traditional Turkish clothing.

Although he was only in his early thirties, he was already a senior captain in the Ottoman Navy.

The Ottoman navy had a disconnect because they did not understand the strength of the Spaniards, and the older generation of naval commanders were wiped out by the Spanish fleet that had seen the Atlantic Ocean like a stubble.

The Ottoman Empire, which was busy conquering Egypt at the time, was unable to reorganize its navy at all, and the Ottoman fleet dared to operate only near the coastline for a time.

Although the number of ships and officers lost at that time was nothing compared to the number of naval forces today.

After Suleiman the Magnificent ascended the throne, he recruited the Barbary pirates, on the one hand, they were used to contain the Spanish sea, and on the other hand, they recruited the sailors who committed minor crimes as the backbone, and rebuilt a powerful navy.

Of course, the core officers of the navy could not have a background in piracy, and all officers at all levels came from the traditional Ottoman organizations, such as Captain Sokuru, who was born in Serbia and believed in Mystra, the goddess of magic.

After the transformation of the Janisselli system, he is now a devout Star and Moon cultist.

He was the most senior Ottoman captain in the Sinan Pasha fleet, and as the lieutenant of Sinan Pasha, he planned to seize the port of Tripoli and take the warlock from the royal branch of the Warlock to Istanbul by the way.

He had never liked Sinam Pasha's adventurous plans, and it seemed to him that this fleet could commit six hundred ground troops to attack the port of Tripoli, and according to their intelligence, the enemy was no more than two hundred Knights Hospitallers.

The 600 men on the Ottoman side were all elite Yeniseri. If you count the Barbary pirates who can be mobilized, the number will be close to a thousand.

Of the six ships, three belonged directly to the Ottoman Empire and three belonged to Hayreddin.

There are no hostile fleets nearby anyway. It is possible to keep only a minimum number of manpower on board.

The residents that Wu Xin had recently acquired were also known to them, but these people were just a burden for the time being, and Wu Xin didn't even dare to let them into the city.

When these heretics saw that the Knights Hospitaller was not in good shape, they would definitely look for an opportunity to sell their doors.

So the only option was to send the population back to the west and south of the oasis, where these people would not support the Ottomans in the rest of the battle. Wu Xin should be overjoyed.

The port of Tripoli also did not have any garrison weapons against the medium trebuchets on their ships, and even if the assault failed, they would have the ability to encircle the port of Tripoli.

Even with an impregnable fortress at its core, attacking an oasis on the southern shore of the Mediterranean is a completely different matter from attacking a major town in Europa, and things are much easier for attackers, especially those who have mastered sea supremacy.

They did not need to completely encircle the enemy fortress, as there were no affiliated towns around the oasis that were absolutely loyal to the Hospitallers, and the Hospitallers had to send troops to collect supplies.

Although the local tribes did not like the Ottoman Empire, they were even more reluctant to honestly hand over supplies to the infidels.

And the Ottomans just had to wait patiently for an opportunity to fight in the field. Even if you can't win a big victory, you can achieve the purpose of besieging the city by cutting off the limited supplies of the enemy in the fortress.

In order to collect supplies from the surrounding oases, the Knights Hospitaller had to send out the main force, and this was the opportunity for a field battle.

With three times the superiority of troops, any general of the Ottoman Empire had the confidence of victory.

In short, they are more than capable of taking this fortress.

But the woman told them that it was extremely dangerous to besiege a city guarded by demigods and lichs, and that the mage had the power to torture all the besiegers to death.

Sokuru didn't believe this, he had seen what mages were like. Everybody is a miser and a coward, and it's just a matter of following the real workhorse, the samurai, and a few painless spells in the back. What's the big deal?

Of course, on the surface, Sokuru would not provoke those mages, after all, they controlled most of the production of nutrients, and it would be unwise to offend.

Most of the Pasha in the Ottoman Empire were warriors, and even in the courts of France, Spain, and Austria, mages participated in the top games as politicians. But because of military merits, the knighthood is basically a samurai and a ranger.

The percentage of mages who are ordained is even lower than that of wanderers and druids, and only slightly higher than the priests who are naturally at odds with the royal power.

Of course, in the West, there is also an aristocratic system under various churches, and the Roman Dark Sun Church also has complete titles at all levels.

But the idea of a frontal assault on Sokuru was still denied.

Sinan Pasha, who had seen the power of Sazastan under the city of Buda, finally did not dare to take the risk, and Sazastan, who was not a lich at the time, was really powerful when he had enough materials to cast spells.

"Death Finger", just a finger of the hand, a core-level samurai fell so silently, and decades of hard training were all in vain.

That man and Sinam Pasha were longtime rivals, and yet in front of him, he fell to his knees without any honor.

There is also the "Banshee's Howl", although Sazastan has never been used, but at the military conference of the Ottoman side, this magic was repeatedly mentioned by him, and he asked all commanders to pay great attention to it, and not to easily launch an elite raid together, so as not to be completely destroyed.

This psychological pressure did not subside with the defeat of the Vulcan Church and the Austrian army at Buda, when there were hundreds of thousands of troops, all the Ottoman court mages and priests were dispatched, and there was also a very heavy Neiying in the city to take Buda in one fell swoop.

In this way, Sazastan is not dead, not only is he not dead, but he has become a demigod lich.

Sinam Pasha, a high-ranking believer of Jecob, the Lord of the End of All Things, and a secret member of the "Mountain Hermitage Society", is one of the people in this plane who knows the power of demigods and lichs best.

As a mage, Sazastan was already extremely powerful and became a demigod after the Lich. The ability to directly extract souls is even more terrifying.

Bursa's intelligence also confirmed that Sazastan was able to "capture souls".

Even if this ability must be very limited, as a leader, he will inevitably have to endure a severe test from Sazastan.

How many lives does he have to dare to test whether he can withstand the other party's ability to extract souls?

Coupled with Bultha's repeated lobbying, he finally devised a strategic plan to let Meladydi consume most of Sazastan's power first.

Bursa's plan is definitely not an absurd one.

Although it is believed that there are risks involved. But Captain Sokuru also admitted that the plan had its plausibility, boldness and seduction.

Lure Meredi to Sazastan's side and tell her that all she needs to do is contain them, and then let the Half-Ogre attack the troops outside the enemy's castle, whether they win or lose. The Ottoman Yenisiri forces would take over everything.

Then Sinam Pasha went to the beach with his powerful demonic companions, and it was indeed possible to force the electorate of that dark day not to dare to enter the water, but to go up and fight with the demigod Lich Sazastan.

However, this plan clearly went awry, and they never waited for Sinam Pasha to send the signal to attack.

By noon, unsettling pieces of flesh had appeared beside the ship, and various sea creatures had begun to gather, their sense of smell allowing them to understand what was happening faster than humans.

By the afternoon, more and more pieces of foul flesh appeared on the surface of the ocean, and the most optimistic Ottomans had to admit that something might have happened to the son that the king of the deep had given them. Its companion Sinam Pasha is also unlucky.

The fleet was mixed, with three ships belonging to Barbarossa and three ships directly belonging to the Ottoman Empire.

After seeing the flesh and blood of the son of Dagon, a pirate ship did not wait for Captain Sokuru's orders, and immediately went west to report the bad news to Hyreddin.

Of course, Hayreddin must have been extremely concerned about Sinam Pasha's death, but Captain Sokuru, who was well aware of the complicated relationship between the Ottomans and the Barbary pirates, would not have thought that he would simply take this as bad news.

Because Sinan Pasha, who is at the peak of the "core", is not enough as a ranger, but his animal companion at the level of "Zhenguo" is not only used to deal with the Spaniards, but also Suleiman the Magnificent's trump card to suppress Hayreddin.

This trump card was a guarantee that Suleiman the Magnificent would dare to pour a lot of resources into Hayreddin, and once this faction was lost, it would be up to the bureaucrats and overseers who paid for it. It is impossible to control Hayreddin.

So even though he knew that it was not good, Captain Sokuru managed to convince his two junior colleagues, and to coerce and control the pirate captains with his personal money.

They had to come in and see what was going on. In any case, it is necessary to bring back credible information, so that Suleiman the Magnificent, who is fighting against the Persian Empire on the Tigris River, can have a clear basis for judgment, maybe Sinan Pasha has paid the price for his defeat, but if Captain Sokuru can't find a good reason for the Emperor, he can only hope to save his life, and not think about his career.

In order to save his honor and career. He approached the port of Tripoli with a huge oars and a boat, and it was already a little dark, so he could not realize that the beach where many enemies had gathered was actually the enemy's weak point.

Before approaching a suitable landing site, he demonstratively bombarded several times with trebuchets.

To Captain Sokuru's surprise, he was immediately attacked by a giant crossbow from the enemy fortress, much to his surprise.

Although their own firepower is more intense, it is extremely unwise to shoot at the shore fire platform.

He immediately bypassed, and finally safely laid down a group of soldiers on another beach away from the enemy.

What Wu Xin is most afraid of is that the enemy continues to throw stones in the distance, and in the closed bay, there is a big fish that refuses to die honestly and is crashing into the soup.

The landing site he chose also made Wu Xin breathe a sigh of relief.

His second concern was that the Ottoman army would attack directly on the sandbank, although it would be dangerous to land in front of the enemy, but in the current situation, Wu Xin would rather run a few steps to meet them.

Although there is no reason for the other party to adopt the right strategy when the information is unknown, Wu Xin is always worried that the other party has the kind of character who can smell the fighter plane with his nose, but fortunately, although Captain Sokuru is extraordinary, he does not have this conceit.

"Odd Kessler, I leave you with the Lady D'Vellich and fifty soldiers, and you and these Kotao Fishmen will deal with the mythical sharks." Wu Xin looked at the female knight of Devlichy and said this, and the female knight swallowed a mouthful of demon meat in her stomach. He nodded to Wu Xin.

She still didn't look normal, but after digesting some of the demonic flesh, at least she wasn't manic.

The water in the harbor has become noticeably shallower, and many pieces of meat are no longer under the control of the mythical sharks. When she saw that she should be able to eat most of the meat, she calmed down.

"You have to assure me that you will not use the power of the armor lightly, and that you will obey the leadership of His Excellency Ode Kessler." Before Wu Xin left, he still asked the female knight to make a guarantee.

"I promise." looked at Wu Xin's eyes. The female knight made a promise.

Although he was still a little worried, Wu Xin couldn't stay any longer, and according to the plan, he was going to meet the enemy's landing force.

"I'm going to deal with those damned pirates with His Highness Sazastan and the Knight of Cassano." Wu Xin didn't know at this time that the enemy was not a Barbary pirate, but an elite Ottoman Yenisseri soldier, and he said to another person. "Your Excellency Priestess, please take a good look, and in front of us, the Barbary Pirates are nothing more than a terrach!"

The priestess of the Kou Tao Fishman nodded again and again, and gave her subordinates a look. Always ready to escape.

They have long been frightened by the Barbary pirates, otherwise why don't they stay in Venice Port, and come to your poor country just to not fight the Barbary pirates?

If Wu Xin dared to let them meet the enemy together, she would run immediately, since Wu Xin didn't ask for that, she would wait first.

After all, the priest's circle was indeed impressive, and he boiled the water so hot without any sacrifices.

Captain Sokuru personally landed with one hundred and fifty men, at this time. He didn't trust the pirates, he couldn't command them, they were all Ottoman troops.

Wu Xin brought one hundred and fifty people to meet him.

"It's not a pirate." Approaching the landing site. Sazastan was the first to see that something was wrong.

Wu Xin and Cassano also saw the situation through the queue of enemies on the beach, it is impossible to have such an elite pirate, even if the Hayreddin personal guard is very strong and disciplined, but the temperament will not be like this, and no matter how disciplined the pirate is, it will not be like this.

On the opposite beach. It's another version of the Knights Hospitaller's regular army.

Cassano was reminded of Buda's memories, and he gritted his teeth and said, "It's those traitor soldiers." ”

Most of the Janissri soldiers came from families that believed in the goddess of magic, and the Ottomans took boys from families who believed in the goddess of magic in the conquered Balkans out of their families, changed their beliefs and positions, and gave them good treatment and promotions.

It is an excellent system that not only organizes an army that does not pay attention to the background but only the ability, and gives the vanquished a channel to rise.

Of course, no matter how good the system is, it will eventually collapse.

At this time, though, this force is an adversary that makes all Europa believers feel hatred and respect.

Wu Xin didn't have so many emotions, he just said coldly: "Your Highness Sazastan, I use the fireball technique to open the way, and you directly throw the finger of death to the enemy's commander." ”

"What? Why is it so wasteful, can you ............"

"Can't!"

Although the expected enemy is the Barbary pirates, not these elites, but Wu Xin's attack plan has been prepared a long time ago, Wu Xin has never been prepared to engage in cage warfare, his troops are limited, the reserves are insufficient, if he does not take the initiative to attack, he will only be surrounded and eliminated by the enemy.

Not to mention the immigrants who worked so hard to collect, as well as the Godafi tribe that was torn apart by himself, will change against him because of the cage battle.

This is also a strategy that Sazastan and Cassano fully support, and their last experience of defending the city was a real nightmare, and the taste of being beaten was extremely depressing.

They are desperate for revenge.

Wu Xin was just worried that the spellcasting materials he provided were still not enough, only five hundred fate points of spellcasting materials were not small, but they were not worthy of the power of the demigod lich, even if Sazastan himself hid spellcasting materials worth hundreds of talers, it was only enough to cast a seventh-level magic "Death Finger".

If it is a level five or six magic, it can be cast more than three through reasonable arrangement, but this is not as powerful as the signature magic, and only by killing the enemy's leader with one blow can it ensure that the Barbary pirates will not dare to come again in a short time.

During this time, he will be able to collect spellcasting materials and restore his reserves.

And Cassano was already in a state of no foreign matter, he only felt that his body was filled with the vitality of the Nile monster, and he was determined to repay the core-level nutrients given by Wu Xin, and rushed towards the enemy who was still standing on his feet. (To be continued.) )
