Chapter 40: The Misty Trench
Simon led the griffin knights in a surprise attack from the air, preparing to capture Joshua and the others alive. Joshua and the others struggled to steer the ship into the Misty Trench. Because the sea area where the Misty Trench is located is foggy all year round, it is easy for ships to lose their course after entering this area, so the locals call this trench located deep under the sea as the Misty Trench. However, there are several small islands near the waters of the Misty Trench. There are a number of fishermen stationed on the island, often rescuing lost boats.
Joshua and the others quickly rowed their boats on the sea, but Simon's flying force soon caught up with them.
"Don't do useless struggles, my Uncle Simon is out of the horse, only surrender is the wisest choice. Simon shouted at the people on the boat on his Pegasus. Behind Simon were a large number of Pegasus Knights and Griffin Knights coming to reinforce him.
"It's too open at sea level, and the fog is only going to stop us for a while, so let's get to the island as soon as possible!" said a jungle ranger to Joshua.
"Don't run, give me zhanzhu!" Simon chased after him.
"Thankfully, we brought all the equipment we captured from the Green Archers, and we were able to withstand it for a while. "Using the bows and arrows they had captured from the Green Archers of the White Dragon Knights, the Jungle Ranger began to fight back against the pursuing troops. However, also because of the fog, the bow and arrow could not shoot accurately. In addition, the air units of the White Dragon Knights are well-trained, and there is basically no damage caused between dodging and moving.
"There's an island here, let's go ashore!" Joshua saw a very hidden island. The island is full of rocks that are perfect for shelter from, and there is a lighthouse where they can ask for help. They quickly washed the boat up to the island. But Simon and his men soon flew to the island as well.
"It's funny that these Wings of Liberty spies think we're going to be able to do anything about them when we get to the island!" Simon parked his Pegasus on the shore and beckoned the crowd to rally around him.
"Hurry up and go to the lighthouse, let's light the lighthouse and ask Uncle Geraint and them on the island for help!" shouted Joshua as he hid among the rocks.
"Well, there's a lighthouse on this island. Simon saw the lighthouse from afar, "They wanted to use the lighthouse to send a distress signal, and flew over to stop them." ”
At Simon's order, the Pegasus Knights and Griffin Knights remounted their mounts and flew in the direction of the lighthouse. "It doesn't matter what pile of rocks they're hiding underneath, just go to the lighthouse and intercept them. Simon also remounted his pegasus and flew towards the lighthouse.
"Oops, I'm so tired!" Joshua and the others were trying to get away from the pursuit of the White Dragon Knights' air troops, "The lighthouse is almost here, we have been saved!"
"Wait a minute!" Suddenly, a forest ranger grabbed Joshua's corner and pointed to the sky. It turned out that Simon and his men had already reached the vicinity of the lighthouse first, and circled the lighthouse in the air.
"These enemies weishenme are so clever that even our jihua guessed it. Joshua was anxious.
"The opponent is the White Dragon Knights, one of the Empire's ace troops!" the Forest Ranger looked at Joshua helplessly.
On Geraint's side, the ship carrying the Freedom Wings warriors who had gone to the sea to rescue them was sailing out of port. "Joshua, don't let anything happen to you, you must wait for me to save you!" Gerant's brow tightened as he looked at the night sea.
And on the warship on which the Imperial Knights were boarding, after the efforts of everyone, the fire was finally controlled.
"Report to Lord Elena, the fire is about to be extinguished. But this time I lost a lot. All the weapons and gunpowder stored in the cabin have been destroyed, and the hull has been severely damaged and almost incapacitated!" the sailors described to Elena the current condition of the warship.
"Damn, when Simon gets those Wings of Liberty spies back, I'm going to teach them a good lesson. "Yelena's face is ugly.
"The way you look when you're angry is charming. Wren smiled at Yelena, "But our immediate priority now is to join up with the main army as soon as possible." Now that the blasting jihua has completely failed, the value of those few spies of the Wings of Freedom is not very great. We don't need to wander around the waters of the Misty Trench anymore. As for Simon, we just need to light a few more torches on the deck and see us when he finishes his mission. ”
"You're right, Wren! I was in a really bad mood just a while. However, as a high-ranking general of the Order, I should always remain calm. Elena responded.
"Yes, be as calm as I am. Wren teased.
"Alright, don't be self-absorbed here, we'd better hurry. Yelena glared at Wren.
Soon, everything on board the warship returned to normal. It was only because of the explosion of gunpowder that the entire cabin of the warship was reduced to rubble, and everyone had to survive the night on deck.
"Damn, why don't these spies come out?" Simon circled around the lighthouse on a flying horse and looked at the rocks on the ground to see if he could find any clues. Joshua, on the other hand, played hide-and-seek with the Jungle Players and the flying units of the White Dragon Knights. However, at this moment, the lawbreakers of the White Dragon Knights also took a small boat and went straight to the Misty Trench.
"There's no way to keep going like this, let's all run to the lighthouse as soon as possible. Joshua said anxiously.
"Some of us rushed out first and were responsible for luring them away. The rest of the people took the opportunity to rush into the lighthouse together and send out a distress signal. A jungle ranger suggested.
"You're so clever, just do it!" Joshua asked with a smile, "But I haven't learned anything about how the signals are sent on the lighthouse, so should any of you do?"
"Hmm!" the forest rangers patted their chests, indicating that there was no problem.
"Then leave some of the people who can use the lighthouse to send signals, and the rest of me will come with me to lure the enemy away. Joshua began to distribute the jihua number.
"Lord Simon, look, these men are fleeing in the northwest direction of the island. "A griffon knight spotted Joshua's whereabouts.
"Hehe, I've finally caught you. I, Uncle Simon, are here, and I won't let you surrender obediently?" Simon shouted and flew towards Joshua's team.
"Oh, they're coming so fast, let's find a rock pile to hide. Joshua said to the Forest Ranger.
"Don't run, you stinky boy. I didn't expect you to be a leader. Simon drove Pegasus directly in front of Joshua and the others, "Uncle Simon, I will definitely arrest you back to the ship today." ”
"It's too late, we only have to meet the enemy directly. "The Jungle Ranger made a quick decision.
"Haha, just because you rabble want to challenge me Uncle Simon, just want to die!" Simon Daxiao shouted, raised his saber and rushed towards Joshua and them.
"If it can solve you, try it and find out. At this time, several Jungle Ranger quickly took out the golden short knives on their bodies and rushed towards the troops of the White Dragon Knights. In the darkness of the night, the Jungle Ranger finally showed their murderous aura. Their dark blue eyes glittered in the night, and there was a belief in their gaze that they would fight to the death.
"Haha, I didn't expect this guy Haig to secretly train such a combat-ready force. Simon sensed that these Jungle Ranger were able to use their basic fighting spirit in battle. However, since Simon himself has reached the junior bronze level of fighting spirit, he can still calmly deal with the opponent's attack. At this time, the lawbreaker also landed on the island according to the signal from the griffin knight, and the situation was very unfavorable for Joshua and them. Both the number of opponents and their combat effectiveness are much higher than their own.
But just then, the remaining Jungle Ranger managed to infiltrate the lighthouse.
"Well, no, they lit the lighthouse. As Simon and the others surrounded Joshua and his companions, the lighthouse's dazzling light swept across the island and pierced through the misty trench.
"Commander-in-chief, look, a distress signal is coming from the direction of the Misty Trench. "The ship on which Geraint's rescue team was traveling some distance had already traveled, and they spotted the distress signal as soon as possible.
