With the sea crocodile captured alive by the soldiers, the battle for Wanghai Cliff is also over.

General Glenn stood on the top of the cliff and looked at the sea in the distance, and the joy in his heart was indescribable.

He hadn't fought in a battle for years, and such a blood-boiling battle seemed to remind him of the glory of the past. He glanced back at Hallie and Rowling behind him, his eyes showing relief and pride.

"Harry, you've become a formidable warrior." He approving.

But there was no trace of joy on Hallie's face, just a tired saying, "I don't want to be a warrior." ”

He led Rowling to the top of the cliff to look at the sea, standing on the steep cliff and looking at the sea, in front of him was an infinite blue. The waves crashed against the cliff and the reef opposite, stirring up thousands of layers of snow-white waves.

He stroked Rowling's long hair flying in the wind, and couldn't help but sigh: "What a beautiful scenery, if there is no bad war, how good it would be to blow the sea breeze here every day and see the sea." ”

Glenn looked lonely, and he knew how traumatized his son was by his wife's death.

Harley looked at the ruins and the wounded around her, and suddenly sighed sadly, "How many people have been displaced by the war, and their wives have been separated. But the irony is that the way to end war is still war. ”

"It's stupid to oppose war." Rowling spoke suddenly.

A complicated expression appeared on Hallie's face.

Rowling looked at him and smiled, "My good sister told me an interesting truth. She said: "Anti-war" is like opposing, and it is a joke to solve the smell of by not. ”

Hallie was blinded by the disgusting metaphor, "Do you think war is justified?" ”

Rowling grinned, "I asked her so, and she said: war is just a means, which can be used by the hegemon to invade or the oppressed to resist. Both are wars, but they cannot be generalized. ”

It was probably the first time they had heard such a statement, and both Glenn and Hallie listened attentively.

Rowling continued: "War has both righteous resistance and evil aggression. Wars of resistance are caused by wars of aggression, which in turn arise from the desires of careerists. So the root of all evil is not war, but those careerists who are full of desire. ”

Glenn was surprised by Rowling's insight: "Miss Rowling, if you follow your theory, what is a just war?" ”

Rowling laughed again, "Why is your question so similar to what I thought, I asked her this question too." She said: You can first see who is in favor of the war. Generally speaking, wars that are good for the people who live here are more just than wars that are good for some rulers. ”

Glenn and Hallie couldn't accept such a wonderful thought for a moment, and they were stunned in place. After a while, soldiers came up and reported: "General Nick has brought someone." ”

.

General Nick walked up to the Wanghai Cliff with a smile on his face, "Big brother is really powerful, such a tight triple defense line can be broken in an instant." The god of war of the Wild Sand Empire really lives up to his name. ”

Glenn snorted, "Thanks to Mr. Axey's cunning, and Miss Rowling's genius invention." If it weren't for such light trebuchets attacking on both sides, this line would have taken a week. ”

Nick nodded, "My subordinates have already interrogated a few pirates just now, and it is almost certain that they want to take advantage of the high tide of the heat wave to let the big ship sail into Chishui Bay." ”

Glenn took a deep breath, and the expression on his face became serious: "The rainstorm has come, and the heat wave tide will be two to three days at most, and we must be fully prepared for defense. ”

Nick patted his chest and said, "Big brother, just make arrangements, and we'll definitely give those pirates a beautiful welcome ceremony." ”

Glenn nodded heavily, glancing at the sea crocodile tied to the side, "It's a good thing that this guy hasn't had time to send a message to Matiel, and now she shouldn't know that this place is already in our hands." We can fight a wave of ambush warfare. ”

Rowling interjected, "How is Uncle trying to ambush?" The pirates came from the water. ”

Glenn pondered for a moment, "I'm so impressed with Miss Rowling's trebuchets that I wonder if they can turn to attack the shipping lanes?" ”

Rowling glanced at the terrain: "This is easy, as long as you calculate the orbital coordinates of the throw in advance." It's just that...... Boats move, huh? ”

Her fears were rightly founded. Trebuchets are slow to reload and have a long flight trajectory, and are generally used in siege warfare to bombard immobile fortifications. If it is a moving target like a warship, it will be difficult to hit if you have to calculate the advance amount or something.

Nick smiled as he asked the soldier next to him to fetch a long pole, "Then we'll just try to keep them moving." ”

"What is this?" Rowling looked curiously at the wooden pole, which was made of several short wooden sticks tied together, about ten meters, and a string of linen wrapped from one end of the pole.

A smile appeared on Glenn's serious face, "I didn't expect this thing to be used by you?" ”

Nick explains, "It's a weapon that Big Brother Glenn invented when he was fighting pirates, and we call it the 'Ship Stick'. Tie it to the mast when fighting at sea, and the enemy will generally not notice. When we got close to the enemy, we brought it down, and the string of explosives on it landed right on the enemy's warship. ”

As soon as Rowling heard the explosives, she came to her senses, "It turned out to be explosives, I like this invention!" ”

She looked at the long pole and suddenly had a flash of inspiration in her mind, "Since we are talking about explosives, I also have a weapon that is very suitable for dealing with ships." ”

"Oh?"

Glenn, Nick, and Hallie had all seen Rowling's whimsy, and they all put on expressions of eagerness.

"There must be someone among the pirates who can strike iron, right?" Rowling asked.

When Glenn and Harley heard this, they immediately turned their heads to look at the sea crocodile viciously. The guy shuddered and replied, "Yes, we have at least five blacksmiths on each boat......"

Rowling laughed, "Call them over and build some iron balls." Besides, get some explosives and poppers, and we're going to get some big guys out. ”

.

Under Glenn's rectification, the three lines of defense of Wanghai Cliff were re-strengthened, and several trebuchet gun fire points were also sheltered and defended. Nick led the people to arrange a number of "boat beating sticks" on the cliffs, and also pulled up a few iron cables in the channel.

"What's the use of this iron cable?" Harley asked quietly, "Are you trying to stop Martil's fleet and prevent them from passing?" ”

Nick shrugged, "Your Miss Rowling asked for it." ”

"Oh." After a moment, Hallie suddenly reacted, "What do you mean by 'my Miss Rowling'?" ”

Nick laughed, "Young man, this is youth." ”
