Chapter 508: A Triumphant Victory

Lorist was annoyed, this naval battle was still in his planning at the beginning, and the next change was completely unexpected for him. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info once again he deeply realized that he could not underestimate any enemy, this was not a game, but a real war, and the enemy was also a flesh-and-blood and thoughtful person like himself.

No one is a fool who thinks he can dominate this naval battle with bronze artillery that surpasses this era, but the enemy has used a few simple moves to neutralize the strategic advantage of artillery, and he has to learn this lesson.

A head wrapped in a black turban showed half of its head on the side of the ship, this was the first sailor to climb on top of the ramming battleship, no way, the whaling ship was much taller than the average large armed warship, and the climb was also very laborious.

A soldier of the artillery firing group saw the sailor who had climbed up, screamed in alarm, and hurriedly picked up his spear on the ground and prepared to stop him from climbing over the side of the ship. But faster than him was a feathered arrow, and the head wrapped in a black turban had a tuft of white feathers on it, and it disappeared in front of everyone's eyes with a terrible scream.

Lorist looked back, but saw that Josk had climbed up to the lookout on the main mast at some point, and a green longbow was in his hand, not only did not a single enemy sailor on the whaling ship he was on be able to overturn, but even the two whaling ships on the left and right could be taken care of. The sailors who were climbing the ramming battleship were nailed to the walls of the ship with arrows.

Well, this guy who was out of the limelight had already attracted the attention of the enemy, and a dozen or so enemy longbowmen who had survived the disaster again picked up their crossbows and aimed at him. But Josk was undaunted to shoot lightning-sharp arrows at the enemy from the lookout, and even had time to grab the long arrow that was shooting at him and return the salute to the enemy shooter who shot it......

"Schward, it's about to be melee on deck, you get these four guns on the slipway above, and focus on dealing with the Sepnim Sea Castle battleship behind, blocking the passage for the enemy sea stormtroopers to come to the melee......" Lorist said as he looked at the approaching fireships, which were already less than ten meters away from the whaling ships.

"Yes, Your Highness. Schward immediately commanded the soldiers to drag the four bronze cannons to the slipway, and Lorist was right, once the melee combat was carried out, the four guns would be useless.

There was a fierce shout of slaughter on the left, and several large armed warships of the enemy were already attached to the three whaling ships, and except for the outermost one, the whaling ship with its bow raised high, the other two whaling ships were already engaged in hand-to-hand combat on their decks. The artillery had stopped roaring, and Lorist saw Jim, the deputy commander of the artillery battalion, splitting one of his opponents in half with his large axe.

The most ferocious on the deck of the whaling ship over there was Reddy, who had no enemies under his greatsword, and Lorist saw several golden-rank swordsmen with weapons flashing golden swords in their hands surrounding, and then turned into a torn corpse and flew out in Reddy's slashing and slaughter, well, with Reddy there, Lorist can put a hundred hearts.

This time Lorist brought with him two thousand guards, and on each whaling ship he had a hundred guards and two sea stormtroopers of the North Sea Fleet, three hundred men of his armed forces in case of close combat, and it was they who were now fighting on the deck. I just don't know what happened to the whaling ship with its bow up, and no one has yet rushed out of the cabin to the deck. And the battleship of the sea castle of Sepnim was rushing down a steady stream of armed soldiers to the whaling ship......

The whaling ship in which Lorist was located did not have a sea stormtrooper of the North Sea Fleet, but arranged five hundred guards. Now the guards were rushing out of the cabin and lined up on the deck in a horizontal formation of five hundreds, swords and shields, ready for the upcoming melee and gang fighting.

"Genorio, order the large armed warships with artillery behind them to retreat, open up the distance, and bombard the enemy ships that are mixed in between the two whaling ships with artillery, focusing on the superstructure of the enemy ships, preventing the enemy from boarding the whaling ships and killing and wounding the enemy's living forces, and relieving the pressure of our close combat. Lorist gave another order.

"Yes, Your Highness. Genorio replied.

"Be careful, you're going to crash!"

The whaling ship slammed into a slam and most of the guards in a horizontal formation fell to the deck.

The fireship that was caught in the middle of the whaling ship and the large armed warship of the Invincible Armada made an unpleasant cracking sound of "squeaking", and the fireship that had been burned and smoked by the fire for a long time collapsed, and the long planks broke off and fell into the sea, followed by the thick keel and the burning mast, which were deformed and burst under the squeeze of the whaling ship and the large armed warship, and turned into a pile of ruins on the sea.

A few pieces of burning wood fell on top of the whaling ship and the large armed warship, and no one paid any attention to them. Now all I was concerned about was the distance between the two ships, five meters, four meters, three meters, two meters, one meter, the two ships were getting closer and closer, and then a loud shout sounded: "Kill!"

Numerous armed sailors of the Armada appeared on the large armed warships, and they pounced on the whaling ships with weapons and shields. However, a very embarrassing thing happened, because the whaling ship was about two meters higher than the side of the large armed warship, and when these armed sailors jumped onto the side of the armed warship and pounced on the whaling ship, they found that they were about to crash into the wall of the whaling ship and fall into the sea, so they had to abandon their weapons and shields and grab the side of the whaling ship with both hands. All of a sudden, the left side of the whaling ship was filled with these armed sailors of the Invincible Armada......

Instead, the armed sailors who had been rocking to the deck of the whaling ship with various cables had already fought with Lorist's guards. However, these dozens of enemies were quickly cleaned up by the guards, and Lorist did not even touch a single enemy. Then the guards grabbed the axes and throwing guns on the deck and condescendingly struck the enemy on the large armed warship, and the screams were continuous.

Several guards began to chop their fingers along the side of the ship, and a few enemies hanging on the side of the ship screamed and fell into the sea with their bloody palms, and the latter learned to jump down to avoid being chopped off. In less than half an hour, all the armed sailors hanging from the side of the ship had disappeared.

After a few more violent impacts, Lorist was also unsteady on his feet, and grabbed the cable next to him so that it did not turn into a rolling hoist. When he stabilized his figure, he found that four large armed warships were on the front and rear and left sides of the whaling ship, and the armed sailors of the fully equipped Armada jumped onto the deck of the whaling ship with cables, and many of the guards who fell to the ground were attacked before they could get up, and there were casualties for the first time.

Lorist leaped up, his sword burst out like lightning, harvesting the lives of these armed soldiers everywhere, and the roar of artillery resounded on the slipway, and the armed soldiers on the giant ship of the sea castle of Sepnim in the distance were preparing to rush to the whaling ship through the deck of two large armed warships attached to each other, but they suddenly suffered another shotgun bombardment, killing and wounding everywhere, a mess, and screams endlessly.

But only two of the four bronze guns on the slipway were attacking the giant ship of the sea castle of Sepnim, and the other two were turning around against the large armed warship leaning against the whaling ship. Just now, the large armed warship of the Invincible Armada crashed into the stern of the whaling ship, although the slipway was higher than the deck and there was no need to worry about the enemy climbing onto the ship, but there were also a few agile enemies who swung onto the slipway with a cable, and were killed by Schward, three of them were killed by Schward, and the remaining two were still gold-level swordsmen, and they cooperated with each other to kill Schward.

Joske on the mast lookout turned around and shot two arrows at one of the golden swordsmen, and the other, in a panic, was quickly killed by Schward's sword. By this time, the battle on the whaling ship had been controlled by Lorlist, and the deck was littered with the corpses of armed sailors, and none of the enemies who climbed the deck could hold out for several rounds under Lorlist's sword and the combined attack of the guards, waiting for reinforcements from his companions.

The command of the Armada also knew very well that this huge battleship in the center was likely to be the command ship or flagship of the Norton family fleet, and the delay in melee combat on the ship was even more evident from the fact that as many armed soldiers died as they went. The long sound of conch resounded again, and the large armed warships huddled together turned their long-range attack weapons to launch a fierce attack on the whaling ship where Lorist was.

All of a sudden, a fireball of catapult bolts rained down on the whaling ship, and Schward, who was on the slipway, turned his four bronze guns around to suppress these long-range attack weapons on the enemy ship......

Josk rolled over and fell off the mast lookout, hooked his feet as he approached the deck, and swung two times in mid-air along the rope ladder before landing on the deck and scolding. Because the large armed warships in the vicinity are much shorter than the whaling ships, many long-range weapons can only be fired upwards or projectiles, and the hulls of the whaling ships are double-layered, which is to avoid damage to the ship when the whales are hit, so the long-range weapons on the enemy ships have not posed much threat to Lorist and the guards hiding behind the side of the ship.

But for Joske on the mast lookout, he became the best target, and many large crossbows were fired at him, and he could not bear it anymore and hurriedly fled.

Schward, who was on the slipway, reported to Lorist: "Your Highness, the enemy has nearly 100 high-end combat forces, and more than 1,000 armed sailors ......"

"Let them come up, you can destroy those pesky ranged attack weapons and block their back path. Lorist said, waving his hand. At this moment, he also wanted to kill a big fight, this naval battle was too aggrieved.

Schward was right, the Armada had already dispatched its high-end combat power, nearly a hundred gold-rank swordsmen with weapons flashing golden swords in their hands pounced on Lorist's whaling ship from all directions, and behind them were nearly a thousand armed sailors who rushed down from the battleship of the sea castle in Sepnim, and a small half of the long swords in their hands flashed with white swords. This should be the most elite assault force of the Armada. Especially the five or six who rushed to the front, although the weapons in their hands did not flash any color of sword, but the strange and flexible and fast body style, it was obvious that they were all great swordsmen.

Destroying the enemy's long-range attack weapons, it's very simple, the four bronze cannons loaded with shotguns fired only two rounds, and the eight long-range attack fire points suddenly flew flesh and blood, both people and weapons were fragmented. When Schward and the others reloaded their ammunition, they found that there was nothing left to attack, and the rest of the long-range attack weapons were no longer around, and the enemy was hiding.

The two figures jumped onto the deck and rushed straight towards Lorlist, Lorist sneered, and easily turned to the long sword in his hand with a cold light, and the two heads flew into the air. Two headless corpses "plopped" down on the deck, blood gushing from their necks staining a large area of the deck.

The dozen or so golden swordsmen who jumped onto the whaling ship followed by the two figures were still shouting "Kill!" and were about to rush over, but they didn't expect Lorist to cut off the heads of the two who rushed to the front so easily, as if they were choked, and the killing sound was only half revealed before it was sucked into the stomach.

Hmm? Lorist wondered what was going on, shouldn't he rush over and kill himself?

"We stand back. Lorist said to his guards that he would let the enemy come up more so that it would be enjoyable to kill.

Three more figures leapt onto the deck and appeared in front of the golden swordsmen.

"What's going on?" said the old man at the front, who was Viscount Penelope, the Second Great Swordsman. He deliberately kept an eye on it, and let his subordinates board the boat first and then go up by himself. I thought that I would see a fierce fighting scene after I went up, but I didn't expect to find that I was huddled together after going up!

"Your Excellency, look ......," said a golden swordsman, pointing to the two corpses on the deck.

Viscount Penelope looked back, the two corpses were very familiar, and then remembered, the Great Swordsman of Abigai, the Great Swordsman of Fezni, and the other was the first-class Great Swordsman of his own First Squadron. One is the second-level great swordsman enshrined by the Firebird Legion of the Qigeda Kingdom, and the Fezni great swordsman has competed with himself for nearly a thousand moves......

The golden swordsman next to him was still nagging: "One look, the two great swordsmen were killed by him......"

He pointed to Lorist with his hand.

Viscount Penelope suddenly felt his heart beat faster, and a sense of foreboding began to appear in his heart, as if he had forgotten something very important this time, and as if he should not have been brave enough to come to this battle for the ship.

Licking his dry lips, Penelope looked at Lorist and said, "I am the commander of the Invincible Armada, Viscount Penelope, who is Your Excellency?"

"This is my fleet. Lorist said, "I am Norton Lorlist, Grand Duke of the Northlands, head of the Norton family. ”

"I'll give you a chance, you guys go together, I've been waiting for a long time. "Lorist was a little impatient, shouldn't he rush over as soon as he got on the boat and fight to the death, how did he gather together and ask for his name first. This is a naval battle, not a war of the nobility.

"Blood, Blood Sword Saint......" Viscount Penelope was immediately dumbfounded.

A gorgeously dressed middle-aged nobleman next to "Bang Dang" threw the long sword in his hand on the ground, and he seemed to be a great swordsman: "I surrender, please give me noble treatment." ”

"I, I ......" Viscount Penelope struggled with me for a long time and threw his sword on the deck, before he uttered a complete sentence: "I, I also surrender, and I also ask for noble treatment." ”

......
