Alien Arms Empire

Chapter 642 Chapter 642
It is not easy to find the enemy's fleet in the vast sea. Even if the enemy's activity area is known, the two sides are like two blind men fighting, and they have no idea where the other party is.

If the speed of the two parties is about the same, then hide-and-seek will be even more tiring: even if they see each other, one runs and the other chases, and they will chase forever.

That's why aircraft carriers will appear in later generations: in the era of World War II, aircraft provided the fleet with a great detection field of vision, which is equivalent to lighting up the map, which is extremely convenient.

Later, with the development of technology, the carrier-based aircraft that lit up the map was not as good as launching an attack directly. The attack distance was longer and the attack effect was significant. It immediately replaced the battleship and became the new favorite of the navy.

Even with radar later, the detection range and attack distance of carrier-based aircraft are not comparable to radar, so the position of aircraft carrier in the navy has always been solid.

It was not until satellites and ultra-long-range anti-ship missiles became popular that aircraft carriers really had a security crisis. However, as the most effective means of maritime information nodes and tactical attacks, they are still the most important part of naval combat ships.

It's a pity that the current Tang State Navy does not have such a magic weapon as an aircraft carrier, so Bernard can only be like a blind man, groping in the sea, looking for the main fleet of the Mirage Navy.

In fact, at the same moment, the main fleet of the Phantom Navy was also looking for the main fleet of the Tang Navy.

Because of his ability to collect intelligence, Cyric received a message from the intelligence personnel of Linshui Port.

They saw the Tang Army's main fleet leaving after replenishing fuel and supplies in Linshui, and their whereabouts were very clear, needless to say.

Judging from the opponent's trajectory, the Tang army's main fleet first replenished in Dongwan, then went north to Linshui, and then left after Linshui replenished. route.

So Mirage Kazuo led the fleet to dispatch again, preparing to intercept the Tang Army fleet and fight to the death with this laborious expedition.

It's a pity that Kazuo Mirage doesn't have an aircraft carrier, so he can only light up the map of dozens of kilometers around him.Such a small area is also useless if placed on the sea.

Ever since, both sides were determined to fight to the death, but they couldn't find the enemy's fleet.So Tang's fleet had to do the work of intercepting the phantom transport ship again, forcing the other party to come.

It's just that this method takes time, and Bernard needs to continue to wait patiently if he wants to confront the enemy's fleet head-on.

……

In Beiyuan City, outside the gate of a courtyard, seven or eight mirage soldiers smashed the Cyric 1 rifles with bayonets at the gate of this house with the butt of their guns.

The old man who lives here has three sons. He used to be a grain seller in the city, and he can be regarded as a small rich family.However, as the scale of the battle of Beiyuan City continued to expand, his food business could no longer continue, and his life is really getting worse day by day.

"It's coming, it's coming." The old grain merchant nervously opened the door, and those short mirage soldiers rushed into the yard.

The leading mirage officer held a pistol, and with a cruel smile on his face, he grabbed the old man's neckline involuntarily: "Old man! It's time to pay the food!"

"Ah?" Hearing what the other party said, the old grain merchant exclaimed in disbelief, and then quickly explained: "My lord, my lord! Little old man, I just paid the grain by head yesterday! Now at home, now at home There is really no food left!"

"Bah! You paid the food yesterday, so you don't have to pay today? Do you need to eat today after eating yesterday?" The mirage officer kicked the old man in the stomach, raising his legs high.

The old man fell to the ground in pain, and the three sons behind him rushed away from their mother's block and rushed to his father's side.

"Don't! Don't!" The old man quickly stretched out his hand, and while stopping his children, he shouted loudly: "I have money! I have money to redeem my life! My lord, I will give you money. Don't be impulsive! Don't be impulsive! "

"Huh?" The cruel smile on the mirage officer's face became even stronger, and he pointed a gun at a few people and said, "Then take out the money! Five gold coins per head! Not even a single copper coin!"

"What?" The old grain merchant turned pale with fright when he heard the price.How many gold coins can he save after working hard all his life?The other party didn't ask for a small sum of money.

The extortion by the previous officials was more or less tolerable.Now that the army is stationed in Beiyuan City, there is no way to do food business, and they have to spend high prices to buy food to satisfy their hunger. Life is already very difficult, so how can there be a large amount of savings?

"Five people in total, 25 gold coins! Take it out, and we'll leave." The mirage officer smirked greedily, and waved five fingers in front of the old man's face.

"My lord, my lord! I don't have that much money, I don't have that much." The old grain merchant still wanted to bargain.

In the end, his words fell to the ground, and the mirage officer impatiently signaled his subordinates to do something.A few mirage soldiers smashed down with their rifle butts, making the old grain merchant's mouth full of blood.

"My lord, my lord! Don't hit! Don't hit! There are 17 gold coins in the jar under my bed, there are only so many, only so many." cried the child.

Sure enough, the mirage soldiers stopped doing anything, and the two rushed into the house, and quickly brought out a jar.The mirage officer took a look, and there were indeed some gold coins and silver coins and copper coins inside.

"I'm at a disadvantage, let's give you a way to survive." The words of the Mirage officer made the old grain merchant heave a sigh of relief, he thought that today's matter could be considered to be handled by him.

But before he breathed out, he heard the mirage officer say shamelessly: "I will accept two gold coins, you pay the head money of three people, choose two people, and I will kill them to make a difference. "

"Ah?" Hearing this, the old man trembled in fright: "My lord, my lord! The old man took out all the money! My lord, please be merciful!"

"You shameless bastards, bastards! You took all the food from our family and gave you all the money. What more do you want! What do you want!" The mistress who had been crying finally broke out, and she rushed over Roared at those goblin soldiers.

"Boom!" There was a gunshot, and the old lady fell down in the courtyard clutching her chest, and there was no sound at once.

"Mother!" The eldest of the three children saw that his mother had been killed, so he rushed towards the mirage military officer who was leading him. As a result, he was stopped by two bayonets on the way, and he was stabbed twice in the left and right, vomiting blood fell to the ground.

"Bold! Do you still dare to resist?" the mirage officer shouted with a grin.

Seeing that his wife and a child had died like this, the old grain merchant yelled, "Two are dead, two are dead! I will pay for the rest! Please be merciful, my lord!"

The mirage officer snorted, looked at the remaining three people, and said again: "If you resist, it's not the price. If you have money, hand it over quickly, or I'll kill another one!"

Hearing this, the old grain merchant hurriedly howled: "My lord, my lord, my lord, my lord! There is no more than half a coin in this family!"

"Really gone?" Mirage officer smiled grimly, looking at the youngest son.

"No more!" The kid said, shaking his head quickly after being scared out of his wits.

"It seems that there are really no more." The mirage officer was a little bit sorry, because the family in front of him seemed to really have nothing to squeeze out.

"It's gone!" the old grain merchant cried.

"Alas..." Sighing, the mirage officer shook his head and said: "Since there is no money, what's the point of living..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the mirage soldiers around him rushed forward with bayonets in their hands, and the remaining father and son hugged each other and let out a scream, and were stabbed to death in the yard like this.

"Put a seal on the door, and let someone clean it up tomorrow, ready to be used by other troops." The mirage officer did not intend to let anyone here at the beginning.

His purpose was to extort all the money and food from these families, then kill them, and even occupy their residences.

And this is not the first time that such a thing has happened. The mirage army has killed people and set fire everywhere in the city, and the order has long since collapsed.

What angered the Qi people the most was that His Royal Highness, the Second Prince of Qi, who was supposed to protect them, at this time was neither alive nor dead, and had no intention of coming forward at all.

Within the block, there were cries and begging for mercy one after another, but the mirage people had no intention of stopping.They didn't even have time to dispose of the corpses, because they were worried that the surrounding civilians would run away immediately after hearing the sound.

However, the matter of knocking out the bone and sucking the marrow still needs to be done. After all, all the stolen money they get belongs to them—an order issued by Mirage Saburo, the robbed coins belong to the individual, and the food is confiscated!
This is also one of the means to motivate these mirage soldiers to commit murder. Because of personal benefits, the subordinates will be more active and more efficient in carrying out his orders.

At this moment, the entire Beiyuan City has become a purgatory on earth, and the mirage garrison who had at least put on a show before has no restraint at all.Like wild beasts, they were madly slaughtering the Qi people who had greeted them.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! You have to take care of it! If this goes on, we Qi people will all be killed!" A waiter cried and knelt in front of the second prince Jiang Zhi, begging his master If you can come forward, at least restrain the mirage people so that they don't go too far.

But Jiang Zhi didn't seem to hear it, he just sat there and didn't speak.
