Until now, the pirates who called themselves the "Gatekeepers of Gibra" had not figured out where the enemy was coming from, and the violators trembled in body and soul with the sharp way of attacking, and the dense explosions finally stopped, and the small sampans full of infantry rushed onto the beach like a thunderbolt.

"Quick, get them down!" the pirates gathered some of them in a panic, only to be met with a head-on fire from the landing site, "First team! suppress them"

The crossbowmen of the Imperial Navy actually don't need the commander to remind them at all, they have already rushed to the commanding heights with the most vision, they are all really outstanding, keen and accurate professional soldiers, the fat man in June last year when formulating the Imperial Inland Sea Strategy, he transferred a lot of active army elites to the navy, and now in the Imperial Army, the elite crossbowmen have become saturated,

And each squadron has a group of elite soldiers, and it's too difficult for rising stars to shine! Take the battle with the Gauls as an example, unless it is an extremely tragic encounter, the imperial crossbowmen who are in formation, there will not be a special squadron that is particularly outstanding, and the empire has special preferential treatment for the foreign navy, the families of the naval soldiers can accompany the army to the continent of Obarro, and the Admiralty has built a special naval city to accommodate them, which is quite attractive to some veterans in the army, so for some experienced veterans who do not want to continue to fight fiercely in the army campaign, it is a good choice to choose a relatively relaxed navy,

On the battlefield of the Army, these Falcon Empire's elite crossbowmen shoot accurately and effectively, paired with armor-piercing Mitsubishi arrows, which represent the highest achievement of the Empire's military industry. So much so that in the war against the northern Gauls, the Gauls were frustrated that "when the bowstrings of the imperial crossbowmen are drawn, any hoplite troops in front of them lose the sharpness of their shouting"

And now. Their cold and murderous gaze is falling on a group of pirates who don't know whether they are alive or dead, and their mouths are screaming like wild beasts, the veterans are dragging their crossbow hands, and they are as steady as a rock that has experienced countless winds and frosts, they can pierce the gap in the thick armor of the enemy's heavy infantry with an arrow, and reach the power of an arrow through the throat of the enemy's heavy infantry, now. The group in front of him did not even have the most basic armor. Many of them were pirates in shiny leather armor, and the veterans of the Gallic hoplites who used to shoot at them were like a precise and orderly killing machine.

After one row was shot, the other row immediately went up, and the three centurians were divided into four echelons, and they methodically shot "whoosh! whoosh!" in rotation. A pirate at the front. It was as if he saw countless white scythes sweeping down the high horizon occupied by the enemy, and countless arrow tails spread violently from the front.

"This is!" the pirate's body paused, his pupils dilated in an instant, and the metal arrows became larger and larger in his eyes, and the sharp Mitsubishi armor-piercing arrows "fluttered" and cut off the pirate's fragile vertebrae without hindrance. The tail of the arrow swinged violently, piercing the pirate's body

Just like him. The man who rushed in front of him was thrust into a hedgehog by the attacking arrow cluster, and his body fell to the ground, and he was hit by the arrow cluster with a crackling sound.

The powerful crossbow arrows were like sharp shovels that pierced through their bodies without sturdy armor, and then swept out a string of blood that splashed onto the sand, and in just a short moment, the pirates paid more than a hundred casualties, and the others hurriedly retreated in fright

The opponent's strict armor style, and the sharp attack methods that make people not even have the strength to fight back, all show how big the gap between themselves and the other party is, the arrow cluster shot from the opposite side is like a storm, there is almost no sign of pause, and his subordinates who are completely suppressed cannot get up, a pirate barely holds a shield and turns around and wants to run, but has not yet taken the third step, "flutter" A white line shot at the pirate's reserve, and after being covered by a dense rain of arrows, in the eyes of everyone, the living person suddenly turned into a blood rose full of arrows in an instant, "This is the crossbow of the Falcon Empire!"

The pirate leader Steelhand Amu lay behind a reef without grace, and when he saw the scene in front of him, his body shuddered, and his face was like ashes.

He has been entrenched in Rumba Island for 14 years, and he can live his own small life in peace, and he can also extract a share of the income from the smugglers, naturally not only because he has dozens of warships under his command, but also because behind him are the Aliens who crisscross the inland sea, as the eyes of the Aliens at the entrance to the Gibro Seaway, he has been paying attention to the movements of the other side of the Seaway for the past few months.

Although they are pirates, Amu also knows that in the Inland Sea, the Alien Sea Country has the greatest power, but the Aliens are not exactly the masters of the Inland Sea, in addition to the Aliens, the Inland Sea also has the Clear Sky Naval Fleet from the Eastern Coast of the Istanbul Empire, the Feiser Naval Fleet that controls the southern coast and has formed a military alliance, and in the Outer Sea, the road on the sea is only controlled by a powerful empire called the Falcon Empire, and the Gangfei Imperial Fleet, which was once known as the first fleet in the open sea, was directly wiped out by the navy of the Falcon Empire, and it is said that the naval fleet of the Falcon Empire has the ability to destroy a country,

If it was before, the pirate Steelhand Amu would have scoffed at such rumors, the naval fleet might be strong, but the weapon configuration of the naval fleet is destined to be used only as a naval battle, and the threat to land is minimal, the main weapon of the naval fleet is a catapult, even if it is a large ship with the heaviest tonnage of the five-layer mast in the Strandant Sea Country, with the longest-range Poseidon Arm catapult, the catapult that can be thrown will not exceed 400 meters,

Or it can easily smash the guard tower of the defense port, but for the vast urban area, the destructive power that the catapult can produce is only the leaf on a giant tree is shattered, but more leaves are still densely packed and cannot be counted, and the loss of a leaf can almost be counted, so in the history of the inland sea, except for a small number of naval commanders who ordered the fleet to bombard the city with catapults because of their personal anger, the record is very small, but this scene in front of him has clearly told him that the enemy he encountered is completely different from before, as long as the other party is willing, it can be like those previous explosions。 Destroy the entire island and kill everyone!

"Don't mess around, everyone!"

The pirate leader Steelhand Amu shouted,

The voice has not yet fallen. A loud rumbling sound was heard, and all the qiē transformations came too quickly, and Iron Hand Amu still had a shocked expression on his face. I saw more than a dozen subordinates hiding behind the rocks not far away, and before they even had time to scream, in a sudden burst of firelight, there was a hairy sound like fried peas, and more than a dozen subordinates were thrown several meters away by a huge wave of air. The pores on the body spurted blood outwards together. Lying on the sand like a rotten stake, covered in blood, the sand and gravel were scattered into dust as they danced, and a huge oval trench five feet wide and several feet deep was born in the explosion!

"Oh my god!"

The pirates were completely stupefied. The pirate leader Steelhand Amu gasped as he looked at the huge trench, his face turned pale, he had just seen a few seconds before the explosion, a black sphere of sparks was projected from the direction of the beach. After landing in a half-arc. Directly from the position of a few meters of Steel, he rolled forward to the current explosion position, and if he hadn't rolled forward a few times at that time, it would have been Steeler Aki who had become minced meat now

"Fifty-six meters in goal, nineteen in height"

On the landing beach, more than a dozen small trebuchets had been erected, and a team of Imperial soldiers carefully pushed the black orbs into the catapults. They were Imperial Navy grenadiers, in the transfer last June. The fat man assigned the establishment of the Imperial Grenadier to the naval combat unit,

Because it is taking into account the peculiarities of naval operations. In order to make up for the shortcomings of the lack of melee strength on the naval warships, the target of these bursting bombs is the crowd of the enemy crowded on the side of the ship, and it is the deck of the enemy's battleship, and if necessary, directly destroy the enemy's mast and command platform, so the small bursting bombs used by the naval grenadiers are more than twice as large in size and power than the small bursting bombs that the army pursues convenience, and the small trebuchets that can throw these small trebuchets weighing twenty or thirty pounds are installed on the assault sampan that has just landed on the beach. "Shoot!"

As Commander Elvis put down his raised hand violently, the small trebuchets lined up shook violently, and more than a dozen small black dots with sparks were thrown into the air, boom, and the explosion sound was continuous again, and the front was like a hot and rolling whirlwind, scorching and bloody breath, like a crushed bag, blowing smoke and dust everywhere,

The naval burst bombs that can shatter the deck of the battleship, the power produced on the flat ground can be imagined, their terrible explosive impact wrapped in countless pieces of iron flew out of it, for the nearby pirates, this is a catastrophic consequence, they hide behind the object, thinking they are safe, the result is that the parabola falling naval burst bomb is like a goddess scattered flowers down, it is simply defenseless, with the sound of explosions, the pirates have turned over, a crying father and mother, the bone marrow of the human body, The tendons and blood vessels were shattered by flying pieces of iron,

Because the pirates were overcrowded together in order to avoid crossbow arrows, a dozen or so falling bursting bombs almost reimbursed one-third of his people, and the others were either covered in dust or covered with blood, regardless of the injured or uninjured, all of them lay on the ground regardless of their heads and tails, they were really scared of the explosion, and some people were scared of losing their weapons, not to mention the counterattack, and now those who can stand up straight are all heroes!

Looking at the qiē that happened in his eyes, the calves and stomachs of Steel Hand Amu were spinning. The subordinates have completely lost their fighting spirit, and if they do it again, everyone will go crazy, even the steel hand Amu himself, his legs are weak and he can't use his strength, the black armor, the powerful and terrifying fleet, plus the accurate and terrifying crossbow and the strange weapon that is now blowing up is the end of the world, and he doesn't know who the enemy is facing is yet, then he is really a fool, the Northern Falcon Empire, the overlord of the open sea!

The leader of the steel hand Amu wanted to cry without tears, he was just a pirate, how could he compete with an imperial fleet, decisively pulled off his white underwear and hung it on a wooden branch, trembling and holding it high, shaking back and forth,

"Don't fight anymore, we surrender!" "Stop!"

Commander Elvis saw the other side raise the white flag, raised his hand, the crossbow bolts and trebuchets stopped, and one of the soldiers cautiously raised his weapon in front of the pirate who surrendered, and the pirates did not attack. They all laid down their arms, and it seemed that they had really surrendered, and Elvis ordered the large army to move forward. Soon the entire port area was controlled,

After receiving the news that the army had occupied the port, Dustrunkai looked at the sand bucket that was not far away and thought about the leak below, and there was still a little gap between the last grain of fine sand falling from the height, which showed that the battle lasted less than an hour, and the island of Rumba had a vital position. and fell into the hands of the Imperial Navy,

This was the first foothold of the Imperial Navy in the Inland Sea Zone, and Dustrenkai valued it very much. He ordered the pirate leader Iron Hand Amu to be interrogated, and the other party's voluntary surrender showed that he was not a stubborn and strong person, and sure enough, he was asking the pirate leader if he was willing to serve the empire. Iron Hand Amu happily expressed his willingness to surrender to the Falcon Empire Navy. And took the initiative to report the situation of the islands and the waters near the islands, as well as the recent rumors of the inland sea, one of which made Dustrenkai feel valuable, that is, the fleet of the Sea Alien Sea State has left the home port of the Sea State, and its whereabouts are unknown.

Dustrunkai frowned slightly, staring at the undulating turquoise sea below the ship's side. Turning to the adjutant behind him, he ordered, "Report this news to Your Majesty immediately!" Although our naval fleet has already occupied Rumba Island first, the Strait navy has also set off ahead of schedule. Judging from the time of its departure, it is very likely that we will reach the southern seas of Congo and Africa before us!"

The Falcon Empire's Navy's occupation of Rumba Island, although it was only a small-scale battle with a disparity in strength, was the first battle of the Falcon Empire Navy in the inland sea area, in a military sense, the Falcon Empire's Navy seized Rumba Island and built a naval base, which was equivalent to completely opening the connection point between the open sea and the inland sea, the gate of the Gibro Seaway, the empire had prepared the inland sea strategy for half a year, and it was officially launched, and countless imperial merchant ships would begin to really flock into the inland sea from here. Kicking off the 100-year reign of the Empire's maritime trade in the inland sea, this battle is also known as the Battle of the "Yellow Sparrow", and the Yellow Sparrow has the meaning of the Pioneer in Obarro.

The news from the navy, and the news from the Gangfei side, arrived almost at the same time,

One is good, the other is bad, the good thing is that the Gangfei Empire really did not want to fight the Falcon Empire on land, and chose not to admit the fact that someone was a spy, which made the first lady of the Sea of Strand, who had not yet left Gangfei, extremely angry, and it was said that the next day she denounced the Gangfei people as cowards.

The bad news is that the Imperial Navy seized Rumba Island as scheduled, but the Strait Navy, as the biggest opponent, actually played the disappearance,

Although the inland sea is not big, it is by no means small, as the watershed between the Central European Baro and the Southern European Baro, the entire inland sea is more than 300 miles wide, including thousands of islands, thousands of miles of sea area, once the main force of the Alien Navy who is familiar with the terrain chooses to set up an ambush on that island, it is like a drop of water falling in the lake, there is no exact location, it is impossible to find it at all, which is a huge threat to the Imperial fleet that breaks into the inland sea area and is ready to fight in the south of Gangfei. "This can be passed on to the Burrows!" the fat man handed one of the reports on Gang Fei to Lidastov, "tell them that in any case, they must get to the location of the main force of the Strait Fleet!"

Lidastov took the report, hesitated for a moment, bent over with a respectful expression and asked, "Your Majesty, just if you are unwilling to take over that hot potato, the value of the other party can be regarded as reached, such a person cannot be left ......"

"No hurry, as a surplus value, he is still useful to us!"

The fat man waved his hand, his eyes narrowed slightly, and said, "The Burrows family has been put under the command of the empire, but the Putao radicals do not mean that they will disappear completely, after all, in addition to a part of the wealthy families like the Burrows family who want to take advantage of the chaos, there are still some really hot-blooded Putao people, handing over the leader of the radical faction to Gangfei, just to divert the attention of this part of the Putao radicals," "What does Majesty mean?" Lidastov was slightly stunned. Tell the Papley family that the Empire is ready to put this man to death for treason in ten days!"

The fat man touched his nose with his hand, and said in a condensed voice, "Then go to Varissien and ask him to tell the Sù Paplli family from another line, this prisoner has been taken back from the border, and will pass through the Luakara area at noon tomorrow, and someone is willing to help the Papli family save people, but it needs 300,000"

"Your Majesty is deliberately going to let this person go?" Lidastov was stunned when he heard this,

"You can also say that!" the corner of the fat man's mouth grinned slightly, "As long as the other party really goes to intercept the prisoner halfway tomorrow, I will send guards to block along the way, so that the other party will follow our route, and in the end, the other party will still run to the territory of Gangfei!"

When the time comes, we will ask for someone from the Gangfei Empire, and as long as Gangfei sends the person back again, we can say that it is not that we don't want him to live, but that Gangfei wants him to die!

Since Gangfei chose to avoid the war from the beginning, he will definitely avoid the war a second time! As long as Gangfei really does this, no matter how much the Aliens want to win over Gangfei, they have to choose to turn their faces! Otherwise, they are nakedly slapping themselves in the face!"
