Chapter 199: The Timing of the Counterattack (I)

Saleen's bad luck may be running out of luck. In the process of rushing back, except for a Warcraft attack, the alchemy ship never had any trouble.

Elaine was much more honest, perhaps under Zola's advice, or perhaps after hearing about Sika's divination, she learned swordsmanship with Zola every day and began to work hard.

In addition to manipulating the alchemy ship every day, the Winged Skull is also constantly familiar with attacking in rapid travel, which requires a high level of mental power, if he is not promoted, I am afraid that he will not be able to control the bone spirit to carry out precise attacks at such a speed. There are many ways to attack the bone spirit, but the most powerful is to carry the Weeping Bloodstone to the enemy.

Weeping Bloodstone exploded in this plane, equivalent to a powerful magic. As long as it is detonated close to the body, even an ironclad battleship cannot afford it.

Because Saleen had cut the hunt short, the group finally returned home at the end of March.

The alchemy ship did not infiltrate the boathouse of the city base, and Salin planned to go and see the swordsmen on the two warships first. These Stryg swordsmen are loyal, living under the protection of mages for generations, so they never have to face trouble outside of battle. The descendants of these swordsmen, if they are outstandingly talented. It can be absorbed into the circle of magicians. If it weren't for the environment of Shreig Island, they would never have had a chance to change their fate.

There are not many people who can bump into great luck like Saleen, and the number of people on the continent is hundreds of millions, because of a chance encounter, he was accepted as a disciple by a magician like Jason, and in terms of probability, the possibility is almost zero.

It was about 400 miles away from the city base, and when Saleen's alchemy ship approached the island, he found that something was wrong. Because the Winged Skull did not find two warships, nor did it find any breath of life on the island.

This is a typical desert island, with only a few plants and the occasional sea animal climbing up, and there are no wild animals on the island. The island is so small that Salin can easily explore it with his senses.

Realizing that something was wrong, Salin asked the five low-level mages to stay on the ship, and then the alchemy ship surfaced, and Salin and the others stood on the back of the alchemy ship and observed with the alchemy telescope.

When Salin saw it, he was immediately furious. He saw a pile of corpses on the beach, being thrown there haphazardly. Even if you don't have to look closely, you know that it was the swordsman you brought from Shrig Island.

"The battleship was attacked, and we went back to the city. Salin put away the alchemy telescope and didn't continue to observe, there was nothing left here, and there were still some wooden houses on the island, which were also burned.

Although Aini was worried about the men who remained in the city, he reminded Salin to go to the island and have a look.

Salin said, "Don't look at it. I roughly counted it, and almost all the people on the boat were here, and at most twenty people had run away. I can't see anything from the body, I'm going back. Salin gritted his teeth, he didn't expect that when he went out, the nest was almost destroyed.

However, he had confidence in the people left in the city, after all, there were two undead kings, and four great magicians, one necromancer, plus the newly joined Caucasians, the enemy could withstand even one of three or five thousand people. In this hellish weather, the combat effectiveness of the Caucasians has skyrocketed.

On the White Rock Mountain, there is also a magic cannon, and if the enemy attacks from the port, it will be within the range of the magic cannon. No matter how powerful the siege equipment he is, it is impossible for him to be transported to the shore. It would have been too difficult to take the harbor by personal force alone, where there were forts dedicated to the erection of alchemy crossbows, and there was no shelter on the frozen sea, and there were almost no dead spots for shooting.

If you can't keep the territory like this, the people you leave behind are too wasteful.

Elaine's face was also very bad. The swordsmen and magicians she brought with her to the city of Saleen were her mother's henchmen, and it could be said that they listened to her rather than were loyal to the Williams family. According to the contract she signed with Salin, in the event of a crisis here, these swordsmen would also be responsible for helping to defend it. It doesn't matter if the city of Saleen is built, now the three walls of the city have only a few meters high foundations, and they have not yet been officially built, and once a large army attacks, it is impossible to defend against the city walls.

Elaine didn't understand why Salin had built from the center of the city instead of the walls first. Now is not the time to ask about this, what she is most worried about is how much her people have lost.

Salin led everyone back to the alchemy ship, the alchemy ship sank silently, the winged skeleton began to use the spirit pool to drive the ship forward, and the bone spirit in charge of reconnaissance was released, swimming against the water, even if it was seen, it would think it was a fish emerging from the water.

The alchemy ship moved quickly, and as it approached the shore, it completely reduced its speed and approached slowly. In the eye of the undead, Saleen and the others had seen the fleet of ships that had anchored outside the ice. There were fourteen ships in total, two of which were none other than Saline's battleships.

"Bing, I'm going to see what happens to those two warships. ”

The Winged Skull listened to Saleen's orders and immediately sent the Bone Spirit to cruise near the two Shreig Island warships. There was no trace of battle on the two huge battleships, but the other side didn't seem to activate the magic equipment on the battleships, just dragged the two ships with iron chains.

"Master, there are a lot of people on these ships, at least twenty or thirty thousand. Wingskull and Saleen whispered.

"So much?"

"These ships seem to belong to the Eastern Island Country!" "Wing Skull had seen the warships of the Eastern Island Country. The ship of Fillett is not bad in combat. And these ships in front of them are much larger, apparently regular warships.

"It doesn't matter who he is, if you kill me, don't even think about leaving. Bing, are you sure you can sink these ships?"

"Master, there will be powerful mages on these ships, I don't know if there will be a counterattack. It may be difficult to sink them all, and even if the enemy ship is damaged, it will not sink for a while, and most of the people on board will be able to escape to the ice. The Winged Skull carefully explained the situation to Salin, who had never experienced regular naval battles, but also knew that such a large ship, even if it leaked a big hole, would take an hour or two to sink.

If the enemy finds that the battleship is badly damaged and cannot be repaired, he will give the order to abandon the ship. That way, as long as there is a magician on board, the ship can sink slower enough to allow the people on board to escape to the ice.

Salin sneered, stared at the image of the sea, and said, "Bing." Send me back first, Neris, you stay, and if the soldier's attack is not enough to sink these ships, you activate the attack magic array in front of you. Use up all the bones and cores, and make sure that there are not a single one of these ships left. ”

"And what about our ship?"

Salin looked at the two battleships that had been captured by the enemy and said, "They probably won't use this kind of ship, break the chains, and stay." Bing, you wait until the evening to do it, and I'll go back and arrange it. Waiting for them on the ice. ”

Salin was angry in his heart. The idea is still very clear, just sinking these ships is not over, the enemy will walk along the ice to the shore. You have to go back and arrange it first, otherwise as the winged skeleton said, there are tens of thousands of soldiers on board, and a sudden attack will also cause losses to your city.

"What about the exact hands-on time?" Wingskull asked Salin cautiously.

"At twenty-two o'clock, you will do it, and if the enemy's fleet is going to leave before then, you don't have to wait for my arrangement, and before they put away the anchor, you will immediately release the bone spirit attack. Salin was glad that the enemy had been so careless that all the ships were at anchor in one place, and there were no reconnaissance boats nearby.

The sneak attack of the Rock Turtle Alchemy Ship in this situation will definitely succeed, but the attack method of the Alchemy Ship will not cause too much damage to the opponent's soldiers even if it sinks the enemy.

Salin only hated that he was not a ninth-level magician, otherwise he would be able to completely wipe out these ships by releasing a forbidden spell of a meteor shower, and there would be only a few people left on board.

Seeing that Aini and Elaine were a little nervous, Salin's face softened a little, smiled, and said, "You two don't have to worry too much, Crarian is steady and won't let your people take risks first, these people obviously haven't launched an offensive yet, and there should only be some skirmishes in the port."

"I know, it's just that those people don't make it easy. Ani smiled, and Saleen could see what was on their mind, but there was nothing to dodge. The swordsmen and magicians he brought out were also confidants, and if they were lost like this, he would be very unwilling.

The alchemy ship quietly dived to a depth of two hundred meters, almost close to the bottom of the sea, and headed for the harbor. On the sea, all the high-ranking generals gathered in that flagship, and the atmosphere was a little solemn. The general at the head politely said to the black-robed mage beside him, "Master Youxi Maso." You said that there are high-level undead in the enemy, what should we do, let the soldiers fight the undead hand-to-hand, even if our warriors are very strong, it is not worth it. ”

"Your Excellency, it's not that I don't help, I've tried my best to make the equipment I need. We were a little unlucky, the ship carrying the Sun Chariot sank in the storm, otherwise we could have killed it now. ”

"We now have twelve magic chariots, can't we deal with a high-level undead?" a general couldn't help but interject beside him, and Yuxi Marceau didn't pay attention to him.

"Your Excellency, my mage regiment is working day and night, and at most tomorrow morning, we will be able to modify a chariot against the undead. ”

The general in colorful armor now obviously attaches great importance to the mage, the enemy's defense is very strong, several tentative attacks, were attacked by the enemy's strong crossbow **** back, only one close battle occurred, and that time the loss was the largest. Instead of defending the shore, the enemy sent a detachment to fight against the soldiers who rushed to the ice, and that time, the three brigades came back with less than a hundred men, and among the enemy was a fierce undead creature.

"So, what is the judgment of the mage regiment on the situation?" the general asked modestly. The mage regiments of all countries are knowledgeable people, and many magicians use tactics no worse than professional soldiers.
