Chapter 269: The Stage Play of Fighting (5)
A heavy roar resounded through the dome, and the columns of water that rushed into the sky rose again and again, and the flames burned on the surface of King's Harbor, and meteor-like fireballs rose into the air again and again, smashing the seemingly solid walls to pieces, and sending the huge ships to the bottom of the sea with a wail.
King's Harbor began to fight back, but the royal fleet still had no intention of stopping, and the sailors who were screaming hard pulled into the cables in their hands and slid the long oars to allow the battleship to move forward at full speed. Creaking trebuchets threw heavy stones and barrels full of ignition charges, and steel bolts smashed the ship's keel and hold and fell on the road to the harbor.
Lu Sien, who was tightly holding the rudder, roared with tears in his eyes, and watched the First Fleet rushing to the front be destroyed - the defense force of King's Harbor was so strong that almost in an instant, the entire port had become a sea of fire, and hundreds of soldiers had sunk into the sea with the burning ships before they even saw the enemy.
They did not die on the battlefield of the conquest of Dominica, they did not die in the storms of the sea, but they were all destroyed and killed by the defenses they had built, all of them - they were killed by the last sea barrier of the kingdom, the barrier that belonged to them!
Ships rushing to the harbor were instantly shattered by the flames and stones that fell from the sky, and the screaming sailors fell into the sea with planks and were burned alive, and the entire port of Kings has become a whirlpool of death, constantly devouring everyone's lives.
But the royal fleet is still approaching, and they are still approaching!
The First Fleet had been completely annihilated, and more warships were rushing up after the flagship. Take on the role of shield bearer for their "flag bearers". Full speed ahead without hesitation. However, the keel was shattered by the crossbow arrow, and the wailing deck was blasted open by the flames falling from the sky almost at the same time, and the crumbling hull was broken from the center, and finally sank into the bottomless depth.
"Go on, blow the trumpet of the charge, raise the unicorn flag——!" Lu Sien, who pinched the rudder, had a line of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, his eyes widened, and he drove the flagship through the columns of water that rushed to the sky. Watching the battleships sink to the bottom of the sea: "Rush over, rush over ——!"
The sailors on the flagship were also shouting feverishly, and the fallen brethren were constantly irritating them, and the flagship at the forefront of the charge was protected again and again, and if they would think about it now, it would be only shame.
Let the flames burn, let the flags fly, and rush over to give the cowards and cowards hiding inside the fortress a taste of revenge!
And now that the harbor is close at hand, stare at the wreckage of the harbor that is still burning. All the sailors were howling excitedly, and even watched as their commander, Lu Sien, pushed the rudder to death. Drawing his sword, he roared with them, watching the flagship rush into the flames.
"Honor belongs to the royal fleet——! victory belongs to Anson Marcherus——!"
The violent tremors almost destroyed the entire flagship, but at last it brought the ship to a halt and half-docked at the edge of the harbor, and the sailors roared with excitement and screamed to survive.
"God bless Turin ——!!!!"
The entire defenders of King's Harbor were in a state of panic and uneasiness - when they saw the ship break through the flames and stop in the harbor, it was as if it were giants crawling out of the endless abyss, roaring at them with fear and the power to tear everything apart!
However, the soldiers on the battleship had already jumped off the ship, stepping on waist-deep icy water and rushing ashore like a rising tide, and the soldiers waving the swallowtail flag shouted one after another, and could not wait to launch a charge in the direction of the fortress.
Huge rains of arrows and stone cannons fell from the sky, and the soldiers with shields were struggling to move, but they were still pushing forward. Keep pushing in the direction of the wall.
"Damn it——!" The roaring chief centurion threw his shield directly, holding the hilt of his sword with both hands, and threw the enemy in front of him to the ground, turning into a beast Yes, Lebinus's eyes widened: "The first flag regiment erects a shield wall! Donner, rush up and take down the tower!!!"
"Long live Lord Witwood——!!!!" Donner, like a mad dog, pulled out his long-handled battle axe, echoing him to the more than a thousand living Lund pirates, charging from the center of the shield wall of the First Banner Regiment - for these Lund warriors, this is what they are best at, and what they are best at!
The Turin hoplites with shields followed the battle banner of Lerbinus, slowly advancing from the front of the fortress walls, attracting the attention of the enemy for the Lund guards, and the defenders, who had been completely tormented by fear, kept shooting arrows, and the soldiers carrying shields became fewer and fewer, but the rest of them still followed their centurion, and the damp water under their feet was extremely solid.
When the warriors of Lund, carrying battle axes, finally rushed to the tower and cut a gap in the wall, Lebinus did not hesitate to give the order, and the hordes of soldiers climbed the granite wall with the shields of the brothers in front of them, and planted the first Blood Cross battle flag on the head of the city.
On the ruined walls, soldiers wearing the same robes and wielding the same weapons fought each other with all their might, pushing the man in front of them into the abyss, piercing the shield with a spear, tearing open the breastplate with a broadsword, and then roaring to kill the other and curse him to hell.
With five thousand men and an entire fortress, the advance of the Banner Legion became more and more difficult and miserable, and the fallen soldiers in front only paved the way for the brothers behind them, until the sailors of the royal fleet behind them rushed to the city walls and brought more reinforcements to turn the tide of battle.
Blood soaked every wall, bloody corpses covered the floor beneath his feet, and the star-wielding black-haired knight burst into the hallway, followed by no strong warriors, no whole hundred-man hoplites, just a silver-haired wizard and the little maid he carried behind him.
Slowly wiping the blood from his sword, Edward, gasping for breath, glanced at the garrison commander who had fallen to the ground—the idiot probably really thought this was the "safest place".
"For Mark Tasker and the Blood Banner Brotherhood, there's nothing 'no one knows'. Despite the smell of blood in the room, the silver-haired wizard was still lazily resting on the bloodstained sofa with a pleasant smile on his face: "He must not know how he died until he died." ”
Seeing his triumphant appearance, the little maid Angela cocked her nose and snorted softly, and sat on the other side very well-behaved, waiting for Edward to speak with wide eyes.
"Perhaps, but at least most people won't know about it. Edward chuckled and stared at him, "It should be safe enough for you." ”
"What are you talking about?"
"I'm well aware of the relationship between the two of us, Mark Tasker – so unlike others, I respect your opinion, and your choices. Edward looked at him and said in a calm voice, "This battle for the throne has nothing to gain you, and if you don't plan to get involved, you can stay here." ”
The silver-haired wizard, who had just been laughing, suddenly fell silent, though still smiling on his face. Shrugged his shoulders as if he was tired, "You're right - and it doesn't seem like I'm going to be able to help much, an alchemist and intelligence chief, maybe not a squire yet." ”
"And what are you going to do?" the silver-haired wizard continued, "Taking King's Harbor is only eligible to participate in this game, you only have five thousand men, and if this is a four-player game, you have the least hole cards." ”
"I'm going to kill him. Edward was still expressionless, his face stiff like a coffin, "And I'm going to kill him." ”
"Then you won't succeed easily - not to mention that there must be defenders on the hill of Marchelus, as far as I know, there are at least five thousand defenders north of the West City, and they must have rushed towards this side by now, and you have to watch out for the enemy's counterattack. Mark smiled rhetorically, "Please tell me, how are you going to defend King's Port?"
"Let Angela come. ”
Before Edward could speak, the little maid beside him suddenly stood up from the sofa, her eyes widened, her little hand tugged at Edward's wrist, and even her tone was pleading: "Let Angela help Edward, okay? Angela won't let those bad people go to King's Port, Angela will defeat them all!"
Edward lowered his head slightly, looking at his little maid - it had been too long, and the little girl who had been pinched by his own neck in that room seemed to have grown up unconsciously.
The gentle cheeks, the slender figure, the hair scattered behind her - the only thing that hasn't changed is those eyes, which still can't see her emotions, eyes that have no emotion to speak of.
"Edward...... Would you like to believe Angela?" the girl asked again, her voice trembling, "Angela, Angela must be okay, must be ......"
"Of course, there is no one like my dear little Angela. Edward was slightly stunned, and bent down slightly—the little maid who had to kneel down to be at her level was now almost as tall as Alan: "Angela, it's the most powerful and unbeatable tool in the world!"
The girl's cheeks flashed red. (To be continued.) )
