Chapter 194: The Trouble of the Lair (Part II)

Wing Skull gets the message. It was something that Aini couldn't hide, and even if he didn't know how to seal the enchantment, he couldn't dodge the soul scan of the winged skeleton. The current Iwaki Alchemy Ship seems to be a continuation of the body of the Winged Skull, and in this boat, even the number of times your heart beats is under the watchful eye of the Winged Skull.

When Judy Koko was refining this ship, he didn't expect that Saleen would have undead summon creatures, and the loopholes left on the ship were originally prepared for himself, who knew that after the Wing Skull took over, he easily fused his own power with the alchemy ship, which made Judy Koko's plan ruined.

While Saleen was toiling around the Frozen Outer Perimeter, the city base was in trouble.

The fifth-level magician Credian stayed behind to take charge of the continued construction of the city, and Judy Koko and Diabinas commanded the undead on a daily basis to expand the city. However, the outer city wall of the city has only been half built, and the materials of the city wall have long been prepared, but if you want to build the upper part of the city wall according to the drawings, you need a lot of magicians to cooperate.

The city was built outwards with the temple as the center, rather than the walls and streets first, and then the houses built separately, as most cities in Qin Yin did.

Daniel and his soldiers patrol every day, which would have been easy. The base of the city is far to the north. There were no cities nearby, and the remaining barbarians had been subdued, so it stands to reason that no one would harass them.

But a month after Sara was gone, a fleet suddenly appeared at sea. Of course, the fleet could not get close to the harbor, which was still frozen now, but the fleet spotted the warships parked on the distant islands.

The battleship was left behind by Salin, and there were only more than a hundred people on the two battleships, doing some maintenance work every day. When the invading fleet found two almost empty warships, it did not hesitate to snatch them. Only a dozen swordsmen on board escaped protecting a low-level mage.

The low-level mage drove an escape boat and hurried back to the city base, reporting the incident to Credian first. Credion immediately summoned Daniel to discuss what to do.

"Sumer, tell me about the situation. Seeing that the main people had arrived, Credion began to question the low-level mage who had escaped.

"The other side has twelve ships, probably two fleets combined, there are two one hundred and sixty meter long warships, four one hundred meter long warships, and the rest are dual-purpose ships, about one hundred meters long, loaded with a large amount of cargo. ”

"What are their weapons?"

"The battleship is equipped with a magic stone cannon, which is very poor and not very numerous, but it is equipped with an alchemical crossbow on the side of the ship. There are also weapons on dual-purpose ships, but they are small stone cannons with no magic devices. Their soldiers wore purple leather armor and were armed with long knives with very small arcs. ”

Although this magician named Sumer was only second-level, he was not small. Not frightened by the enemy, in a hurry, what was written down was valuable.

"Can you tell where it's from?"

"They look like Yunliu people, but I don't understand the language they speak. ”

"Well, the fleet of the Yunliu people is much larger than this, and it will not be mixed with dual-purpose ships. Credian nodded. Dual-purpose ships, in fact, are armed merchant ships, because the hull structure is insufficient, and it cannot be equipped with powerful weapons, so it can only use small stone cannons for long-range attacks. However, the speed of armed merchant ships is much faster than that of ordinary merchant ships, and even the best warships will not affect the formation if they are mixed in with them.

"What about the rest of the ship?"

"All killed. ”

"What!" Credian was furious, then calmed down. The more than 100 people on the ship were all swordsmen brought from the island of Shrieg, and they were extremely loyal. Now, except for the dozen or so people who returned with Sumer, the rest were actually killed by the enemy.

Sumerer couldn't be blamed for this, more than a hundred people couldn't control the large weapons on the ship, and he was the only magician on the two boats, and he could only use one escape boat. Sumer, a second-level mage, is already a very difficult thing to manipulate the escape boat. The escape boat was originally intended for six people, and he had brought back more than twice as many people, and he had done his best.

"I came back with a recording stone. "Sumer was also extremely resentful in his heart, the enemy's methods were cruel, and they came up to kill on a large scale, even more than pirates. The other party is definitely not a pirate, an armed merchant ship protected by a warship, I don't know what kind of force it is.

He knew that he couldn't resist it, so he directly snatched a recording stone from the magic array and came back, hoping that someone could decipher the enemy's language and find some clues.

Credion glanced at the broken recording stone and said, "Take it down and fix it." ”

A low-level mage took the recording stone, left the room, and went to the alchemy room to repair it. This thing only works in the magic array, and can pick up sounds, but it doesn't last long, and it's part of the sound transmission magic array. The Recording Stone was broken, but it didn't matter, even if it was only a few seconds of sound clues, it would tell where the enemy was coming from.

"Lord Credian, they chased our escape boat until near the ice, and we expect to find it soon. ”

Credian nodded and said, "Daniel, please take Diabinas to the harbor and start laying out the defensive line." The enemy wants to attack land, and that is the best option. There is no road in the south, and there are hundreds of miles in the north. ”

"Why don't you let me take Diabinas and kill him. "Although Daniel is strong in combat, he is one level lower than Credian. Before leaving, Saleen told him to obey Credian, so he only made a request and did not make a claim on his own.

"They'll find it themselves, Daniel, and though you've traveled the sea, you don't know this way. The northern route was difficult to walk, and there was simply no place for supplies. The other party didn't come over specifically, I'm afraid it was a storm. The Sumerians fled, and the enemy would not give up, as long as they had an alchemical telescope, they would be able to discover it in about two hours. There were no supplies on those two ships, and they would definitely be looking for trouble. ”

Daniel understood that he had not yet commanded a major battle, and that this Credian must have experience, so it was no wonder that Saleen had made himself listen to him.

"The ships sometimes have large weapons that threaten Diabinas, and now that the sea is frozen, their ships can't get close to the harbor, so they have to send their soldiers onto the ice. Don't take the initiative and ask them to send as many people as they can. ”

"When?" Daniel didn't know much about the fleet formation, and was afraid that he would counterattack in advance. Let the enemy run away too much.

"You hide first, just use the bow and crossbow to hold the harbor, don't use magic yet. Twelve ships, each of which was not less than six hundred men by size, and the armed merchant ships could be cargo or soldiers. In the case of soldiers, the size of the enemy is more than ten thousand. ”

"Ten thousand!" Daniel was also apprehensive. On the battlefield, it is not a problem for him to kill three or five hundred people, but there are more than 10,000 soldiers, and there are magicians hidden among them. He wasn't sure he would be hurt either.

"If the enemy doesn't attack, let the skeleton hide in the snow and don't show its head yet. I went to ask the Caucasians for help. Credian admonished Daniel, who nodded his head and went. The enemy will not arrive immediately, and he still has time to take out large bows and crossbows from the warehouses and deploy them on the coast.

The port wharf at the city base has been almost built, and after development, the entire wharf is about three miles long, and Daniel only has about four hundred soldiers in his hands, which is not enough to hold all the locations. Fortunately, the swordsmen brought by Aini and Elaine were replenished, and with the barbarians who could be drawn, Daniel was able to make up a thousand men.

There are still some soldiers in the hands of Credian, but they need to be deployed in the north of the city, although the enemy may not be willing to take a detour, but they have to defend, the other side has too many people. Credian personally visited the elders of the Caucasians and asked their soldiers to assist in the defense.

The Caucasians sent only four hundred men, but all of them rode demon wolves, which could storm the enemy's ranks in the field. Credion was a little relieved, and then he sent someone to Baishi Mountain to find Truman.

Truman was stationed at Baishi Mountain, and there was a large group of soldiers waiting, and he was guarding the miniature magic cannon alone, and he also got the news at this time. Credian sent a set of magic lights, but they were used on the battleship to make signals. Credion himself would not be on the front lines, he was stationed at the temple in Saleen, and at the top of the temple there was a set of magic lamps that could give orders to any corner of the city.

There is no way, because the city's infrastructure has not yet been completed, and it is not possible to command the battle with the sound magic array.

Four hundred of the remaining Caucasians came out to help garrison the temple, and all of Salin's supplies were kept in a secret space beneath the temple, even though it was difficult for the enemy to find out, but just in case.

Instead of following Daniel, Judy Koko followed Credian's side. Creed's ambitions are stronger than Daniel's, and Judy Koko wants to bewitch him. It can't be done either. And Judy Koko has no fear of Daniel, but he is a little afraid of messing with the magicians of Srieg Island.

This was Saleen's plan before leaving, and he had warned Judy Koko that Shreg Island had a large number of magicians, and if he did something he shouldn't do, he couldn't save him. Judy Koko didn't think that Saleen was scaring him, those magicians on Tryg Island, as you could tell from their equipment, were definitely from a huge force.

By the time it was dark, the harbor had been fortified, and makeshift forts had turned the docks into militarized fortifications. On the waning moon-shaped peninsula, in the snow, there are a large number of skeleton soldiers in ambush. These skeletons are meant to be coolies, and they are not a decisive force in battle. Even an ordinary soldier can chop a skeleton soldier to pieces, and three or five peasant soldiers are more daring and can deal with a strong skeleton.

The enemy is clearly elite, and Daniel doesn't count on these skeletons to decide the outcome of the battle, relying on Diabinas and his summoning undead Pisius.
