Chapter 195: The Invaders from the East (Part I)
Chapter 195: The Invaders from the East (Part I)
A thousand people were scattered on a front of about three miles. Defense is very low. Fortunately, at the beginning of the construction of Sarah, it was considered a militarized city, with white stone towers on both sides of the port. Inside the tower, there is a magic array of constant temperature, each of which houses an alchemy crossbow with a range of more than 800 meters.
This white tower has only two floors, and can garrison troops underneath, but there are no tunnels dug and can only be defended. In fact, such a structure is not used to deter the enemy, such a tower can defend against the bombardment of the magic stone cannons, and the soldiers can hide in it without worrying about the attack of the warships at sea.
Now that the sea is frozen for more than a hundred miles, the battleship cannot get close at all, and the role of this tower is only to use alchemy crossbows to block the ice.
Dozens of towers, each tower has an alchemy crossbow, the constant temperature magic array can keep the crossbow weapons in good condition all the time, this place is almost closed, there is no corrosion of the damp gas at sea, the alchemy crossbow has been kept in a state that can fight at any time.
Daniel was now hiding in a tower, and by his side was a medium-sized alchemy crossbow, the heaviest weapon Salin could obtain, the large alchemy crossbow had a range of several miles, and Salin couldn't buy it for the time being.
Observation through an alchemical telescope. Daniel saw a blinding glow on the ice at sea, with a dense patch of small black dots approaching. Even without using the computing power of magic, he could roughly estimate that this group of people was at least six hundred.
If there were no Juggernauts and no great mages with them among the six hundred, Daniel would be sure to eat them all. It's just that the other party has twelve ships, and with a fleet of this size, there will definitely be great magicians, and there will be no shortage of sword masters.
There are too many monsters on the sea, and if they don't have a certain strength, no matter how strong the sea ship is, it will sink.
Daniel is now starting to miss Saleen, if Saleen is here, he doesn't have to take any pressure, he just needs to take orders. Daniel wasn't a power-hungry man in the first place, he just wanted to practice magic and become a free, powerful mage.
Now Daniel can only analyze cautiously and let himself not make mistakes. The enemy dispatched only one ship and did not attack in a big way, which gave Daniel a choice. Will it all be eaten, or will the yin* enemy continue to increase its troops. If they were all eaten, the enemy might retreat, or even flee outright, taking two ships with them, in which case Saleen would lose a lot.
The two ships on Shreig Island must be worth more than a million gold coins, and it will take at least a few years to rebuild them. Because there are no skilled workers in Saleen now. There was no dockyard either, and there was no sufficient number of magicians. The manufacture of large warships is not comparable to small ships more than 20 meters long, and if there is a problem in any link, the battleship may decompose directly in the water.
Although Salin now has a turtle alchemy ship, the alchemy ship is targeted by the magician, so it no longer has the effect of surprise attacks. If you want to gain a foothold in the north, you still need a large warship, Rex took one battleship and has not returned yet, and the remaining two battleships are the foundation of Saleen's beginnings.
If the enemy robbed two ships and fled, Daniel wondered if Saleen would have dismantled his bones and used them to build the ships. But he had only a few people at hand, and there were no ships available, so if he wanted to recover the two warships, he could only rely on strategy.
"Diabinas, you disguise yourself as a sixth-level undead and catch two of them alive. Be careful not to kill all the enemies. After Daniel finished speaking, he sent the swordsman beside him to the temple in the center of the city to report to Credian. Write down your own plans.
The swordsman went with the letter, and Daniel re-raised the alchemy telescope to observe the situation at sea.
The team of more than 600 people was very close, and he didn't plan to hide it, and when the distance was about three miles, Daniel saw the details of this team clearly.
This is obviously a well-trained army, there are three magicians in six hundred people, according to Qin Yin's establishment, there is one magician in each brigade, obviously not an ordinary mercenary, let alone a robber. The three magicians were all wearing gray magic robes and were already at least level four.
Daniel is depressed, a fourth-level magician, who will play a big role in battle. The opponent's team is only 600 people, as for sending three great magicians?
He doesn't understand the battle of the army, but in large-scale mercenary battles, magicians can also affect the situation of the battle. If the three great magicians blessed the swordsman with a magical state, it would turn the team of six hundred people into a difficult stone.
On the crescent-shaped peninsula, Daniel ambushed more than 3,000 skeleton soldiers, and there were less than 2,000 skeleton soldiers left, who were ambushed behind him, but with these three great magicians, the role of these skeleton soldiers could not be smaller.
The five thousand skeletons were summoned by the Three Kings and will not be replenished if there is a loss. Because Banchagana was taken away by Sarin, it was impossible to summon so many skeletons at once. If each king is summoned individually, a maximum of more than 600 skeletons can be summoned, and the cooperation of the three kings can have that much power.
If you throw a skeleton into battle. Even if the enemy is repulsed and the victory is won, the construction of the city will be delayed. That's why Daniel was depressed, he looked at the three great magicians with resentment, and thought to himself, where did these people come from?
Obviously, these great magicians are not from Alchemy City, because the magic robes on their bodies are a little shabby in Daniel's opinion, and these magicians are closely followed by more than a dozen sword masters, and they are arrogant. If it is a swordsman in Alchemy City, he will definitely be very low-key next to the magician, and he will never have such an expression.
When the team of six hundred people approached a distance of 1,200 meters, they no longer advanced, but lined up in formation, and the three great magicians began to apply the Great Force Technique to the warriors in front, as well as the second-level Wind Speed Technique. These two spells were very costly for the Grand Mage, and after the three of them had cast their spells on the forty warriors, they retreated, still under the protection of the proud swordsmen.
At a distance of 1,200 meters, if it weren't for a large alchemy crossbow, it would be difficult to attack a target so far away. The enemy is clearly proficient in armaments. The magician did not rush forward, lest he be attacked and consume the magic strings meaninglessly.
Two hundred miles away in the sea, twelve warships dragged two captured booty. Anchor outside the ice. The huge flagship has four floors, and at the highest level, there is an alchemy telescope of more than three meters, this kind of large alchemy telescope can see the target thirty miles away, and if it is farther away, the target will disappear into the horizon, which is not something that the telescope can observe.
In the captain's room, a man in huge armor sat in the center, surrounded by more than forty people. These people are wearing colorful armor, and the shape of the armor is extremely exaggerated. But according to Qin Yin's armor-making standards, these armors are mighty. It's so flashy that even a lot of parts affect the armor's own defense.
"Your Excellency, why don't you send a large army to kill you ashore?" a man dressed as a magician could not bear the loneliness, and asked the leader who was sitting upright in the middle.
"Master Yuxi Marso, our fleet has lost four ships due to a storm, and the remaining ships will have to be repaired to restore speed, and if the enemy still has warships and we attack the land with all our might, the fleet will be in danger. ”
The person called the general expressed a certain respect for this mage in a black magic robe, a black-robed mage is to be regarded as a guest in any country, but although this general also has a respectful attitude, he is different from the nobles on the mainland, and he still has a condescending taste.
"We have more than 20,000 soldiers, enough to build a fortress like Lianyun City, Your Excellency, General, why don't you let my magic chariot go, at most, we can take this place in three days." ”
"Be cautious, this time our eighteen countries jointly marched into the Myers continent and encountered a storm, which is a bad omen. Apparently this is a warning from the god of wind. The general in colorful armor had a majestic face, but he spoke very nervous words. If the people of the Holy See were here, they would have classified him as a heretic. What kind of wind god? In the plane of the Myers continent, there are no other gods except the Lord of Radiance.
"General, the spy said that Qin is in a mess in the Principality of Phoenix due to civil strife, and since we have been blown to the north by the storm, we can consider occupying Phoenix from the north first. ”
"This is natural, we have more than 20,000 elite warriors, as well as a large number of magic chariots, magic stone cannons, it is not a problem to fight such a small town, I am worried that there are still forces in Alchemy City here. Look at those two ships. It's clearly in the style of Alchemy City. Really go head-to-head, those two ships will also cause us a lot of damage. Don't be proud, the Eighteen Nations Alliance has now dispersed, we must not arouse the vigilance of the Qin Yin Empire, this time we go ashore, we can't let go of an enemy. ”
"Yes, General!" replied all the generals with bows and alouds. In their opinion, the strength of the fleet is enough to destroy the town near the coast, of course, the enemy can not escape any of them, the attack of 600 people, first make the enemy panic, the puppet flying in the sky will quickly find the enemy's hiding place. If the enemy already has no other fleet, then it is time to storm.
Large alchemy telescopes, flying golems in the sky, and magic compasses in flagships are all searching the nearby sea to prevent any warships from approaching. Armed merchant ships have dropped dozens of metal pontoons and begun to build temporary docks on the ice.
The edge of the ice was not stable, and it was necessary to reinforce it if you wanted to transport siege equipment. The eight armed merchant ships were not loaded with any cargo at all, and each merchant ship was filled with 2,000 heavily armed warriors, as well as a variety of military equipment, such as field catapults, battering rams, flying golems, magic artillery, and battle golems.
These things have been accumulated by the eighteen sea kingdoms with great pains, and hundreds of sea kingdoms have been planning for thousands of years for this day. The Eighteen-Nation Alliance is just the beginning, once the situation opens up on the Myers mainland, hundreds of island nations in the eastern seas will swarm to carve up the mainland.
