Section 596 Embarrassing situation
Then my grandmother told me the cause and effect of the incident, and it turned out that the problem was the naval battle between West Asia and the Seven Princesses after I left. Sia is worthy of being the son of the Tiger King, and he really has two brushes. The first time he faced the Seventh Princess, he even took a small advantage, if he hadn't made a mistake during the war, coupled with Elena's super long play, he might have really killed the Seventh Princess!
Here's how it happened, when Poor Dao first entered the underworld, Xia Xia wrote to the Seventh Princess, saying that he would lead the fleet to patrol, and when he wanted to take which sea route, where to go, everything was clearly told to the Seventh Princess, and at the same time, he also publicized this matter to the whole continent, so that everyone knew about it.
In this way, even idiots can understand that Xia Xia is openly issuing a war letter to the Seventh Princess. Although tactically speaking, it was a very stupid thing to do in this way, in fact, he had to do it because he was too difficult to ride.
One is that at the beginning of his tenure, he didn't do something big, his unstable position was small, and the Pope's face was damaged. You must know that Sia is a candidate personally selected by the Pope, and if he does nothing, the Pope will be very faceless as a recommender.
Another reason is that the current situation is too unfavorable for the Holy See, and the morale of the navy is almost equal to zero, which indirectly affects other forces on the mainland, and people generally have pessimism about the war. The shadow of the Seven Princesses weighs on everyone's heart like a mountain. I don't open this mountain like this. The battle was clearly not fought.
That's why Sia decided to take such an adventure, he wanted to win back everything, the morale of the army, and his own prestige, as well as repay the Pope for his cultivation and reuse.
At that time, more than fifty capital ships were assembled in Western Asia. More than 1,500 warships, mainly other medium-sized warships, carried more than 100,000 navies, forming a fleet with elite naval forces as the core. Swagger at the appointed time and head to the intended destination.
In the face of the blatant challenge from West Asia, how could the arrogant Seventh Princess tolerate it? After receiving the news, she officially announced to the whole continent that she would give the newly appointed commander of the Holy See a little color. However, although the seventh princess is arrogant, she is an invincible general who has experienced a hundred battles after all, so she naturally knows the truth that the comer is not good. So she is also fully prepared for this battle.
Because the stakes are so high in this battle, it directly affects the morale of the troops on both sides. In particular, it involves a series of things about the Pope and whether the Valkyrie can continue to write the myth of invincibility again, so it is particularly eye-catching. All the big and small forces on the continent, up to the pope and the emperor. Down to the people of Limin, all of them are paying close attention to this sea battle of the mysterious man VS Valkyrie.
In the anticipation of everyone, on a sunny morning, the battle finally began. At that time, the West Asian fleet was all huddled together as much as possible. Slowly. In the sky, there are no less than 50 lions patrolling the surrounding sea around the clock.
However, whether it is West Asia or not. Whether it was his soldiers, everyone knew that these lions were just pretending. In the face of the elusive Seven Princesses, they have no way to detect it. Even now, the Holy See still hasn't figured out what method the Seven Princesses used to make a huge ironclad battleship completely invisible!
After all, the phantom monkey, as my secret weapon, has always been kept as a top secret, except for Ouyang Ruolan's Sky City and the Seventh Princess's ironclad battleship, my other troops have not even heard of the existence of this thing.
Since there is no early warning. Then you have to be ready to be attacked at any time of the day. After waiting for more than ten days in the Holy See fleet, the Seven Princesses finally arrived. Still silently appeared on the flank of the Holy See fleet, just a thousand meters away from the nearest warship, as before.
The most important thing is that the ten ironclad battleships led by the Seventh Princess have obviously been accelerated for a period of time, and when they appeared, their speed had all increased to the maximum. It was like ten sharp arrows that slammed into the side of the Holy See fleet, and at the same time, the mages on the ironclad battleship also began a frantic attack, and countless black-green fire bombs, mixed with explosive fireballs, smashed into the Holy See's fleet together.
The outer battleship that bore the brunt of the attack, because the huge hull of the entire side was completely exposed to the attack of spells, so it was easy to hit dozens or even hundreds of magic bullets, and several battleships were directly blown into pieces under the concentrated bombardment of the mages, and the superstructure and sturdy hull of the entire battleship were completely destroyed, and only the remaining little bottom of the ship quickly sank into the sea.
Strangely, though, there seemed to be very few people on these ships, and there were a lot of debris, and there were a lot of metal fragments in the flying things. However, these anomalies did not attract the attention of the Seven Princesses' fleet, and they thought that the attack was on the warships in charge of transportation in West Asia, which were full of fleet supplies and other materials.
The distance of a kilometer is only a blink of an eye for the ironclad battleship that tells the movement, and at this time, the mages have only had time to launch three rounds of attacks. Then it's time for the ironclad battleships, which are arranged in four neat rows, one in the first row, two in the second, three in the third row, and four in the fourth, like pyramids.
The interval between them is relatively large, and the routes of the front and rear battleships do not coincide with each other, although this makes the formation appear untidy, but it can prevent the battleships in front from suddenly stopping, and the rear ships do not have time to stop and collide.
Such an arrangement was entirely made by the Seventh Princess out of prudent considerations. Generally speaking, it is unlikely that a wooden ship will slow down an ironclad battleship, which is not only heavy and fast, but also slightly smaller than the capital ship and larger than a medium-sized battleship.
Judging from the past results, even the capital ship can be easily cut off by the ironclad battleship. However, the ground speed of the ironclad battleship was hardly affected. As long as the elven mage in charge of power makes a effort, he can quickly return to his original speed. Therefore, the seventh princess can run rampant on the sea, and every time she can advance and retreat freely, a large part of the reason is that she has never been slowed down.
Therefore, the Seventh Princess's stable formation arrangement, except for making the formation ugly, has never had any substantive effect, but she still insists on using it. Finally. Just today, it was the cautious and careful arrangement of the Seventh Princess that saved the entire fleet.
When the first ironclad battleship successfully collided with a medium-sized transport warship and cut it off, something strange happened, the speed of the ironclad battleship was drastically reduced by more than half, and the draft was much deeper. Moreover, the impact caused a very severe concussion, which knocked almost everyone on board to the ground, turning them into rolling hoists. Many mages are caught off guard. They were all wounded, and there was even an unlucky mage who crashed headfirst against the iron wall and died on the spot.
Then, nine ironclad battleships drove past him one after another, smashing eight or nine battleships. A similar situation has also occurred. The ten warships were moving slowly like snails at this time, and no matter how much the elven mage tried to pull the magic, they just couldn't get up fast.
The seventh princess was taken aback and hurriedly went out to see what was going on. only to find that a large hole was broken in the bow of the ship. A large hole more than a meter long was cracked in the steel plate several inches thick, and seawater poured into it with a bang. Several earth-based mages hurriedly went over and used ice-based spells to freeze the rift. The fate of the shipwreck was finally averted for the time being.
In fact, this opening is a trivial matter, what really worries the seventh princess is the large iron plates on both sides of the ironclad battleship, these iron plates are a few inches thick, meters square, the size and shape are different, almost hundreds of catties, densely glued to the hull, the number is so large. I couldn't count them for a while, but anyway, a bulging bag was piled up under the bow of the ship.
Obviously, they are the most deadly, there are so many iron plates on the ironclad battleship, the weight alone has increased by tens or even hundreds of tons, and many of them are stained under the surface of the sea, and the irregular shape greatly increases the resistance of the hull to advance, so it is strange that the speed can be faster.
As soon as the Seventh Princess approached the bow of the ship, her sword fell to the ground with a thud, and her guards were also like this, only a few masters grabbed the sword again before landing, but after they got it, they all felt that the sword was much heavier. The seventh princess looked at the tow altar beside her differently, hoping that the elder could give her an answer.
After closing his eyes and probing with magic power for a while, he finally came to a conclusion, and said nervously to the Seventh Princess: "It's the magnetization magic that makes these iron plates have an extremely strong magnetic force. I estimate that if three of these ships run into us, carrying subway boards on them, it will be enough for our battleship to sink directly!"
"Damn!" the Seventh Princess was taken aback and broke out in a cold sweat, because she understood in an instant what Xia Xia was planning.
He obviously wanted to use a ship filled with magnetic iron plates to attract the impact of the Seven Princesses, so as to achieve the purpose of reducing the speed of the ironclad battleship. No wonder these ships sail so slowly, and no wonder there are so few people. It turned out to be a battleship full of iron plates, and of course such a battleship could not be driven quickly, and there could not be many people. In this way, all doubts are clarified.
Subsequently, the Seven Princesses suddenly found that the battleships on the periphery of the Holy See fleet were desperately coming towards the ironclad battleship, obviously, they fought with the idea of ending up together, as long as they could drive to the side of the ironclad battleship, let the iron plate be tightly attached to the ironclad battleship, hehe, everyone will sink together!
"Don't let them get close, bombard with all your might!" the Seventh Princess ordered in an orderly manner, and then she turned around and asked Tuo Ke Tan, "Master Tuo Ke Tan, can this magnetization magic be lifted?"
"Of course, this is my specialty in the electrical department!" said Tuo Ketan proudly, "However, there are too many of them, and I need a little time." With that, he began to cast a spell, and as dazzling lightning flew from his wand and smashed into the iron plates, the iron plates that had been demagnetized fell like water.
"I'll buy you time!" The Seventh Princess saw that the speed of the Tuo Ketan was quite good, and she was immediately full of confidence again.
But at this moment, a very helpless voice came, "Old friend! I can't tell you to do it again, can you find a place with me to talk to no one?" I saw that Master Niko suddenly appeared in front of the seven princesses with a helpless face. Apparently, he was attracted by the lightning spell of the Tuoke Altar.
Tuo Ketan said funny: "I'm sorry senior, I don't have time, you better go chat with Elena!" he said as his subordinates kept casting spells.
"Master Niko. I'm up to your challenge!" Elena bravely stood in front of Niko, and at the same time, the black dragon also circled Niko's head, forming a posture of encirclement towards Niko. And the seventh princess entered a relatively safe cabin under the protection of the guards, and she had no strength to entangle herself in a duel of masters of this level.
Although he was surrounded by Elena and the black dragon, Niko's face was still calm, he talked and said to Elena: "I know that the Holy See has a place where you can't live with it, and I also know how good Long Qingtian is to you. But. After all, you grew up in the Holy See, so you should consider your father's position even if you don't care about your old feelings, right?"
Niko paused at this point, and found that Elena ignored him at all, still staring intently at his head, as if he was facing a great enemy. He knew that his hard work was in vain, so he simply swallowed back all the words of persuasion in the future. Time waits for no one, but Toktan is working hard there, and Niko doesn't dare to delay any longer.
So he grabbed a white scroll from the void, and the texture of the scroll was the skin of a light dragon. So it looks like a white light, and it's very beautiful. Niko crushed the scroll with his hand, then reached out and pointed to the tartar. "In the name of God, enter my space!" After saying that, Tuoktan and Nick strangely disappeared in front of Elena out of thin air.
"Holy shit!" Elena stomped her foot angrily and scolded, "Damn it, what's going on?"
"Hehe, it's not a big deal, it's just that the person disappeared!" The person who spoke was Albert, who flew in from a distance, and he was still wearing a golden armor of the god of war, and he looked extremely powerful.
"What the hell are you leading?" asked Elena angrily.
"Didn't see clearly?" Albert laughed, "Then I'll let you see it again!" he said, pulling out a scroll that looked exactly like Nick's. After a spell, the so-called magic immunity black dragon disappeared directly, and of course Albert himself disappeared.
Elena was stupid now, so she hurried back to report to the Seventh Princess. After hearing this, the Seventh Princess's face changed greatly, and she said, "It is almost impossible to directly rely on the scroll to eliminate masters like Tuo Ke Tan and the Black Dragon. I think this is just a temporary trap for them, this is probably a variant of the Birdman spatial spell, otherwise Niko and Albert wouldn't have disappeared with them. I remember that Gaiji was trapped by Nick with a similar trick. ”
"I see, when are they going to come out?" asked Elena hurriedly.
"I don't know, but I don't think it will be a few hours, in short, we don't have time!" the seventh princess then ordered loudly, "Turn around, evacuate here first!"
At this time, the outside is actually already in a mess. The fleet of the Seven Princesses was like a huge magnet, attracting the entire fleet of the Holy See, and every ship was desperately trying to get closer to them. When the Tuo Ketan cast a spell to eliminate the magnetism of the iron plate, the Seventh Princess calculated in an instant that he could completely clean the iron plate on one ship in a few minutes, and ten boats could be cleaned in less than an hour.
So the Seventh Princess originally planned to stay here for an hour, relying on the mage's sharp magic, and then leave after inflicting heavy losses on the army of West Asia, anyway, she still had her back hand and didn't move, so there was no problem in escaping. But now it seems that this wish has been frustrated, and the sudden unexpected situation completely disrupts her plans, forcing her to turn around and leave early.
However, with great effort, Sia finally gained the absolute advantage of starting a war, so where was she willing to let the Seventh Princess leave so easily? When the Seventh Princess was holding on, Sia was naturally happy to step up her encirclement, but the Seventh Princess was just about to turn around and leave. Sia immediately used his carefully prepared killer weapon.
In the sound of loud magic spells, six four-winged angels slowly rose in the six directions of the Holy See fleet, and their positions just formed a hexagonal magic array, and this huge magic array actually occupied several miles in a circle. Underneath each of them were five hundred mages helping them gather their mana.
Soon, three thousand mages were gathered, and the super spell of the six four-winged angels finally took shape. I saw a snow-white light enveloping the magic array, and then the light pierced into the seawater. Then the water began to freeze, but only a few breaths had passed. With the magic array as the center, within a radius of a hundred miles, it completely froze into a huge ice cap.
The ice sheet was more than ten meters thick, and all the warships, whether they were friends or enemies, were frozen on it, and they didn't even think about moving. Then, without Sia's orders, the various warships near the center of the Holy See began to unload their men one after another, and groups of well-trained soldiers began to assemble on the ice. They had less iron and more wood in their hands, and they were all warm leather armor, apparently taking into account the effect of the magnetism of the iron plate on the battle.
After the assembly, the Seventh Princess suddenly found that her opponent had prepared a well-trained and well-equipped army of more than 100,000 for herself, but in her own hands, there were only 1,500 mages who could participate in the battle, and the most important thing was that her battleships were frozen on the ice and could not run at all! This must be the most embarrassing situation she faced in her life!
