Chapter 117: The Battle Clouds Fall

"The storm is coming...... "Nia stood on the cliff by the sea, watching the tide clouds roll in the sky. [Ran^Text^Library] []

Anyone who is familiar with the weather at sea knows that when such clouds gather on the horizon, a storm is not far away.

"Nia!!!!" came an anxious cry not far away.

Nia turned around, only to see Simon running towards him.

"What's wrong?" Nia raised her eyebrows, heroic.

Simon's face was ugly, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was panicked, but he didn't know what made this man who usually pays the most attention to his bearing so frightened, and Nia was secretly awe-inspiring in her heart.

Sure enough, Simon's opening was bomb-like bad news.

"William is back! he's wounded!!" Simon exclaimed.

"Huh?!" Nia instantly sensed the message behind these two sentences, "Did he run into an enemy ship? Could it be the Sithian Navy?"

Simon nodded vigorously, his face as white as paper.

"How many ships are there?" said Nia, taking a deep breath and calming the tension in her heart.

"I didn't count the specifics...... Simon looked miserable.

This sentence is terrible!

If Simon tells Nia Sisis the specific number of the Navy, then she has a number in mind, but what does the sentence "not counted" mean?

This means that there are so many enemy warships that William didn't even count?

Nia's face became extremely gloomy, and she blushed: "Where is William? I sent him out to be in charge of the security and reconnaissance around Alcatraz Island, and he did just that? Why can't he even count the ships?"

Simon laughed miserably: "William's battleship was hit by the bow guns of the enemy ship when the two sides were facing each other, and the bridge and command stand were destroyed, but fortunately, William's injuries were not very serious, and he was shaved open by a wooden board blown off by a cannonball,"

"What!!!" Nya was horrified.

Hearing the news of the Sisis Navy approaching was enough to make her breathless, but before this battle was fought, they lost a fierce general first!

This is a morale blow to the pirates of Alcatraz Island!

"How's he doing?" asked Nya, in a deep voice.

"William is now being treated by the Dada tribe witch doctor, and according to the witch doctor, it should not be life-threatening!" Simon wiped the dense beads of sweat from his forehead.

Nia stared at the calm sea, and there was no sign of the Sisian Navy on the west side of Alcatraz, thanks to the superior speed of the William Battleship and the caution of the Sisian Navy.

But it won't be long before Nya sees a cloud of sails and cannons as dense as a forest of steel.

Alcatraz will usher in the most brutal blow in the first place!

Whether they can survive depends on whether they can withstand this first wave of the most ferocious attack!

Nia's heart was beating violently, and she could even feel a suffocating pressure that pressed down from head to toe, making her almost black.

But this strong woman gritted her teeth hard, she knew that she could never have the slightest weakness, as long as she showed the slightest fear and let others catch her, the whole Alcatraz would collapse without a fight!

She doesn't have the ability to turn the tide even in a desperate situation like Tang Jie, she can only do her best at the beginning, and don't give people the slightest loophole to exploit!

"Simon!" Nia's voice was faintly golden, and her face was as pale as iron, "You go and get Bill, and then bring two hundred men from the Dada tribe, and let them unload the cannons on William's battleship as quickly as possible, half of them will be taken to the opposite cliff, and half of them will be sent down here!"

Simon was stunned, he didn't know what Nia was going to do before this big battle.

Nia gave him a cold look: "What are you going to do?"

Simon had never experienced war, and no wonder he was nervous, he quickly came back to his senses and replied loudly, "Yes!"

Simon left with Nia's orders.

Nia's gaze was deep in thought.

Alcatraz finally completed the transfer of all supplies before the Sisis Navy advanced, and preliminarily completed the construction of the hidden harbor on the south side, and now there are more than five three-masted griffon-class warships docked there, but the construction of Alcatraz's battery has just begun.

On the rocky beach on the west side of Alcatraz Island, where there are many reefs, the fort with the Black Dragon King at its back has even just erected a stone platform, and the five large-caliber breech warp guns have not even had time to be placed, let alone calibrated and adjusted.

Not to mention the two wings of the peninsula that jut out from the left and right like pincers on both sides of the beach on the west side, although this is the best place to place the battery, but there is not even a stone platform for the battery!

"If you rush to repair it now, is it too late?" Nia unconsciously squeezed her hand hard, only to find that her palms were all sweaty.

The news of the Sicisian naval attack spread as fast as possible on Alcatraz Island, and everyone had a sense of relief in their hearts, and they didn't know what was waiting for them.

Nia was now the supreme governor of Alcatraz, and her orders were quickly and meticulously carried out by Simon, and the cannons on the William battleship were unloaded by the sailors as quickly as possible, and then the lever pulleys made by the dwarven craftsmen were hoisted from the battleship and carried by the black slaves of the Dada tribe to where Nia was.

Bill followed the first cannon to Nia's side: "Nia, Nia!"

Nia turned her head and saw her most familiar partner before the big battle, which gave her a smile on her face.

"Why are you here?" said Nia in a deep voice.

Bill was not in a hurry to speak, he stood next to Nia and looked at the terrain at the foot of the mountain.

At the foot of their hill is a wide view of the sea and a concave rocky beach, and if the Sisian navy wants to attack Alcatraz, it will inevitably choose to attack from the west side of Alcatraz, because this is the only visible landing site, and if the Sisian navy wants to land from here, it will inevitably only be able to fly two warships at a time.

These two battleships will expose their most vulnerable waists and abdomen to the Peninsula batteries on both sides, and with just one salvo, these two battleships will be completely scrapped!

Of course, this is premised on the fact that there are batteries on both sides of the peninsula.

"This is a good place!" Bill looked at the terrain and nodded vigorously, "You're going to set up a battery here?"

If it is purely about artillery warfare, Bill is far above Nia in terms of theory, technology and artillery awareness, and he has already understood what Nia wants to do just when he hears that Nia is going to unload William's cannon on both sides of the peninsula.

Nia nodded: "This is the best place, condescending, as long as the two battleships inside come in and are hit by our salvo, don't think about going out again!"

"Yes!" Bill nodded, crouched down, leveled the ground around him, picked a pile of stones, and began to set up a formation of deductions.

"I went to ask William just now, and I estimate that the Sithic Navy has dispatched at least twenty or thirty warships!" Under the pressure of the powerful enemy situation, Bill, who liked to joke the most, had a solemn face and quickly laid out the stones.

"Twenty or thirty warships?" Nia sneered, "Isn't that the Sithian Navy going out?"

Bill set up the deduction formation, and then looked up and said to Nia, "Nia, it seems that our only hope at the moment is to hold on!

Nia smiled: "Nonsense, can't you still take the initiative to find death?"

Bill also smiled: "I have a battle plan, do you want to hear it?"

Nia laughed and scolded: "If there is a fart, let it go!"

Bill smiled, he pointed to a dense pile of stones, and said, "Let's say this is the naval ...... of Sisis" and then he pointed to a particularly large stone: "This is Alcatraz!"

"If I were the commander of the Siss, I would have set up a long formation on the west coast of the Siss, open all the gun bays, let the sailors push out all the cannons, and then bombard Alcatraz Island like an iron plough with the densest cannonballs!" Bill shook his fist at the big rock, "Destroy our fighting spirit and coastal defense with the most ferocious artillery bombardment of the first round!"

Nia smiled, "Do we have defense?"

Bill smiled, put two stones into the concave west side of the beach, and said, "After their first round of shelling, they will surely approach the harbor with two ships loaded with soldiers!

Nia nodded, this was the worst plan, she had to have this plan, otherwise it would be a nightmare if Alamshei's soldiers drove into Alcatraz and they were caught off guard!

"What's your plan?" said Nia.

"My plan is to ......," Bill made a closing gesture in front of the concave stone formation, "sink these two ships with makeshift batteries on the peninsula on both sides, and immobilize them, so as to block the entire west coast and prevent the men of Alamsheh from rushing to land on the beach!"

Nia high-fived hard: "I think so too!"

Bill was overjoyed, but soon the excited look on his face darkened again: "But, I wonder if the forts on the peninsula on both sides can be built in time?"

Nia said categorically: "I'm in charge of the fort on this peninsula, and you're in charge of the other side!

Bill nodded heavily: "That's all!"

Nia and Bill looked at each other and smiled, both knowing that the battle in front of them could be the most crucial battle of their lives.

They didn't know where Tang Jie was now, and they didn't know what Tang Jie was doing now.

But they were steadfast in their belief that their captain would return in time, and what they had to do was to keep the Sithians out of their homeland!

Just as Nia and Bill high-fived each other and were about to split up, they heard a rough voice.

Nia and Bill followed the voice, but were surprised to see William striding forward.

The belly of this beer keg was wrapped with layers of gauze, and blood was faintly oozing from it, and William walked quickly, shouting angrily from afar: "Nia, Nia!!"

Nia opened her mouth wide, "William, why are you here?

William said angrily: "Leave my injuries alone! I ask you, why do you want to unload my cannon!"

Nia and Bill looked at each other and smiled, it turned out that this was the reason for this.

Nia patted William on the shoulder: "Because your cannon can hit our enemies better!"

William was a straight gut, and as soon as he heard Nia's explanation, he immediately grinned and said, "Of course! What are you two muttering here? Is there anything I can do?"

Nia looked at William's abdomen, this guy is really going to fight now!

She shook her head: "You can recuperate in peace, you are a wounded soldier now!"

William Ha smiled: "When the officials of Sisis go ashore to kill pirates, they don't care if I am a wounded soldier or not!"

Nia smiled, she pondered for a while, and then said to William with blazing eyes: "Okay, I have something for you to do!"

William patted his chest: "What's the matter?"

Nia said slowly: "You take a few people to keep an eye on the elders of the Dada tribe and tell them that there is no movement without my order!"

The look on William's face froze: "Are you afraid that they will rebel?"

Nia nodded, "I don't want them to stab us in the back when the war starts!"

Bill was surprised and said, "No, right? they have no reason to betray us!"

Nia's face was covered with frost, and she forced her eyes to Bill, "Can you guarantee that my father betrayed me, and you think I can give my back to these powerful Dadas?"

William and Bill were stunned and stopped talking.

Barr's betrayal of Nia is a lifelong pain in Nia's heart.

Nia sneered and said, "If Tang Jie is here now, then of course I don't worry about them! But the key thing is that Tang Jie is not on Alcatraz Island now! So, once the fierce battle starts, can you guarantee that these Dadas will not do anything else?"

William stopped talking, he looked at Nia fixedly, then beat his chest heavily, and said in a deep voice: "As long as I don't die, I'll crucify them for you!"

Nia watched William turn around and shouted again, "William!"

William turned his head.

Nia lowered her voice and said, "Don't do anything drastic!"

William nodded: "I know!"

"First mate Nia!" asked William before leaving, "when will Captain Tang Jie return?"

Nia smiled, "Soon, my William! soon!!"

William was silent for a while, he drew the long knife at his waist and shouted loudly, "For the captain!"

Nia smiled slightly, and pulled out the long knife at her waist: "For the captain!"

Bill on the side was full of smiles, and he also drew his long knife: "For the captain!"

On the seaside cliffs of Alcatraz Island, the three of them saluted each other with long knives, then looked at each other and smiled, and dispersed.

Soon, far away at the junction of the horizon and the cape, a blade of sails slowly appeared on the horizon, and then more and more sails followed, appearing on the horizon.

The ships came slowly, and with them rolled and moved forward with the thick dark clouds in the sky.

The sea breeze is gusting, and the fighting spirit is rolling......

The big war is about to break out.
