Section 222 The First Ambergris War (5)
The news of the presence of a large number of undead near Fiji City and the capture of the city shook most of the Emerald Continent.
The last remnant of the city lord Edgar led the remnants of the army to drag the ghoul army to death after the undead stormed the city, and died in the city.
However, due to his sacrifice, his two sons and daughters, Melinda and Lombana, were able to break through separately.
A group of elven warriors led by Melinda broke through the skeletons outside the city, grabbed a boat at the docks, and escaped by water, while Lombana was able to break through the siege and escape into the jungle outside the city during the final civil strife.
After that, Melinda and Lombana both fled to the nearest elven city to report the attack on the city by the undead.
The Elven Court, the two temples, and the druids were furious when they learned of this.
The druids came forward from the wrath of the earth, the elven court sent two twin elven kings, Amrath and Amnod, to the Shield, and the Temple of the Sun sent a legendary priest, Ivan.
When the four legendary powerhouses arrived in Fiji City as fast as they could, there were no living people inside, only ghouls and skeleton soldiers.
The fury of the earth sealed the city of Peiji on the spot with a ninth-level earth magic, and then the two elven kings of Amrath and Amnord cleaned up the ghouls and skeletons together with the priest Ivan of the Sun Temple.
After killing all the undead, Ivan used fire magic to burn the ruined city of Fiji, and the wrath of the earth activated another seismic spell that turned the city into ruins, in order to avoid the plague caused by the filth left behind by the undead creatures like ghouls.
The catastrophe was shocking and attracted everyone's attention, and the Elven Court angrily demanded that the four legendary powerhouses remain on the West Coast to find out what caused the undead to attack the city.
At the same time, the Elven Court and other allied clans continued to send large numbers of men to the vicinity of the West Coast. Although the legendary powerhouse is powerful, it always takes a lot of manpower to find clues.
Under normal circumstances, it is unlikely that so many undead will appear at once, and according to Melinda and Lombana's report. Edgar, the lord of Fiji, once judged that this was a ghoul legion created by someone using the corpses of the Sea Clan and the Fiji City Elves after the battle.
If this is the case, then there must be a black hand and conspiracy behind this.
However, Stephen, who caused this disaster, also expected to be tracked down, so he left immediately after completing the Rite of Death, and when the High Elves began to search the West Coast, it was naturally difficult to find clues.
In the end, the four legendary powerhouses got together and decided that Ivan would return to the Elven Court. Draw troops from other elven cities to temporarily blockade the west coast, and invite Celine, the high priest of the Moon Temple, to come over and use time rewind, because the scene of the original birth of the undead, the place after the fierce battle between the elves and the sea tribe in Fiji City has been a mess when the ghouls appeared, and there is no way to find any useful clues.
The only way to do this is to cast a time-type spell to look at the past, and this is something that only the legendary priests of the Moon Temple can do-
The sun shone into the room, and Feuernau's face and most of her slender body were bathed in sunlight.
He felt a little comfortable, and for a moment forgot the bad emotions he had felt a few days ago when he heard about the undead attack on the West Coast.
The city of Fiji on the west coast was attacked by the undead, and the Elven Court sent a strong man to investigate. Manpower was also dispatched from other cities to search, and some people were also dispatched to Mochizuki City in Fianor.
He sighed, sat up straight, and looked out the window, where the sea was.
Mochizuki City is a pearl on the east coast of the Emerald Continent, rich in products, and everything was in order under the governance of Feerno in the past.
This makes Fierno also famous among the elves, and there are even legends. If he can break through to the legendary realm, the royal court will allow him to become the eleventh eleventh eleventh elven king. It's like the elves of Amrath and Amnord twenty years ago.
A few years ago, Feerno was quite confident in this rumor, but since the anti-ambergris incident, he has been worried about whether he can become the king of the elves.
Because in the previous ambergris cream trade, as the pearl of the East Coast, Mochizuki Castle was of course also prosperous in it.
But suddenly the wind changed dramatically. Ambergris was declared harmful and forbidden by the royal court, and the high-ranking elves who had previously strongly supported the ambergris trade were also rebuked in front of the royal court and the general public of the High Elves.
Even Feanor's brother, the Elven King Fernafin, was embarrassed for a while, and had to send his right-hand men to collect it vigorously in his own territory to show his opposition to ambergris.
Fierno's Mochizuki Castle was of course also blamed during the storm. This has tarnished his reputation for innocence and competence.
Even if he can break through to the legendary realm, he may be attacked by others because of this, preventing him from obtaining the title of Great Elf King.
As soon as he thought of this, he felt a pang of irritation in his heart.
He subconsciously touched the drawer, there was still some ambergris cream in it, he opened the drawer, and took a small stove out.
Are you really used to it?
He stopped, and looked at the ambergris cream with a gloomy look.
In fact, his previous attitude towards ambergris paste was to put interests first, usually just because incense or smelling incense gradually became a common program for communication, and he would also participate in it, which was probably similar to Edgar, the lord of Fiji City.
So when did it start to change?
It was from the official ban on the trade of ambergris in the elven royal court that the high-ranking elves in the kingdom who supported the ambergris cream at the beginning, which caused the elven kings who had criticized the anti-ambergris action to change their positions.
From then on, Feeno felt irritated and even insomnia.
He regained his peace in the ambergris, and then unknowingly spent months smelling the incense, or sucking it in the same way that the Centaurs smoked the balm, mixing it with tobacco.
Just now he suddenly realized that he really seemed to have a sense of dependence on the ambergris, and looking back on the process of smoking the ambergris cream in the past few months, it seemed that the dose of each snort was getting larger and larger, which made him sweat in shock.
He couldn't continue his thoughts, though, for his lieutenant's hurried knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.
He hid the ambergris paste and the stove, and then allowed the adjutant to come in with a pale face.
"What's going on, Yakin. ”
Adjutant Yajin said with a slight panic: "Lord Feoror." There is a fleet of ships approaching us on the sea, and there are very many of them. ”
"A large fleet?" Feuerno was taken aback, there hadn't been a large fleet of ships coming to and from Mochizuki since the ambergris trade had been banned.
"Order the docks to remain on guard, and send the guards over, and don't let them get too close to the ...... without my permission."
The three words Mochizuki Castle had not yet come out of Feuernor's mouth. Suddenly, there was an earth-shattering explosion outside, as if dozens of flame blasting spells were exploding around him.
The ground shook violently, followed by screams and roars.
"What's going on?" Feuerno rushed to the window and looked down.
He saw some collapsed houses, and large hollow pits, and some bloody elves on the ground struggling in pools of blood.
"Attack?!" the words flashed through Feerno's mind.
Then there was another loud bang, no, it was a loud sound from a series of voices close in time that explained to him the reason for all this.
From the direction of the sea, from far and near, there are dark spots in the sky, as they get closer and closer. You can see that these black dots are huge iron bullets.
These iron bullets smashed on the house with great force, and the house would collapse instantly, even a house reinforced with natural magic could not bear it, and an elf on the road tried to stop it with his own strength when the iron bullet came, but the result was that the iron bullet hit a house, and as a result, the wall broke and people fell, and they were never able to stand up again.
After the initial impact, these iron bullets will basically produce a second impact in the bounce.
With the strength of Fierno. It was quickly judged that the destructive power of these iron bullets was close to that of a high-level warrior's blow, and the power of the second bounce was somewhat reduced. However, if you are hit head-on, it is still enough to inflict casualties on fifth-order creatures.
And among the iron bullets that flew over, there were some special ones.
Some of them are red-hot iron bullets that emit high temperatures, and this kind of iron bullet has more destructive power than ordinary iron bullets because they hit wood and the like. There is a risk of burning.
The most destructive is a kind of iron bullet that does not seem to be very different from ordinary iron bullets, but it will explode soon after hitting, and the power of the explosion can cause fatal damage to all elven warriors of level 16, and the power covers a certain range.
"Hurry up and command the guards, and. Immediately mobilize all the shooters in the city to the docks, it is those fleets at sea that are firing these iron bullets at us!" "At this time, Feerno abandoned the depression caused by the anti-ambergris incident, and regained his true colors as the lord of Mochizuki City.
About two kilometers away from the dock of Mochizuki Castle and about three kilometers away from the castle lord's mansion, hundreds of ships were lined up in battle lines, all facing the direction of Mochizuki Castle on the side side.
Dozens of swarthy cannon barrels protruded from the portholes on the side of each ship, and with a loud sound, shells flew towards the elves' harbor.
Starting from the distant Azure Continent and sailing all the way here, a huge fleet composed of Titania and Asturias finally arrived, and launched an artillery bombardment on Mochizuki City, which is known as the pearl of the East Coast.
In each of the ships that participated in the shelling, the sailors could be seen in the portholes filling the cannons with shells, then re-pushing the portholes with blocks and cables, and then shelling.
In some special portholes, the sailors carefully brought in the kind of red-hot shells that Fierno had seen, called scorching shells, which were temporarily covered with a layer of wet mud after being burned red, and then had to be fired quickly after entering the chamber, otherwise they could kill themselves if the mud failed.
The barrels protruding from the portholes in the very center of each ship's multi-level gun deck fired the most powerful flowering shells, that is, the ones with explosive power.
Shelling from this distance of the fleet to the High Elves' harbor is basically inaccurate, and even if the magicians do not cast a spell on the gunner, the error will still be large, and it will depend on the gunner's experience and measurement skills during the shelling.
However, when the number reached 1,000 and the intensive shelling was carried out, it still caused a lot of damage to Mochizuki Castle, and more importantly, caused panic. (To be continued.) )
