This sea lord is a bit strong

Chapter 274 Battle of Feiguang City, Holy Envoy
Most of the border control rights were lost in one night, and they were pushed to Feiguang City in just over a day.

As for the outcome of the decisive battle between the naval fleets of the two sides, one can probably guess that the Royal Fleet of the Duchy of Reinhardt was either wiped out or fell into a bad situation. Principality coastal hinterland.

Otherwise, how could there be an organized army of the Kingdom of Bath in this barracks far from the border?

However, Ji Chen was a little puzzled. Although the military strength of the Principality of Reinhardt was not as strong as that of the Kingdom of Bath, it was not in such a bad state.

There are probably some unusual factors in it.

"Is there anything unusual or wrong with these troops of the Kingdom of Bath?"

"What's wrong..." The officer thought for a while, "Probably their weapons and equipment have suddenly improved a lot. In the past, the quality of our principality's weapons and equipment was much better than theirs. many advantages."

"But this time we found that the weapons and equipment of the soldiers of the Kingdom of Bath have changed drastically. They are better than ours. They even have a lot of expensive siege equipment, which made us suffer a lot."

Ji Chen frowned slightly, the weapons and equipment are much better?
He casually picked up a long sword belonging to a soldier of the Kingdom of Bath, and checked it.

The quality is really good, even better than those produced by Ocean Crown, which has not yet absorbed the dwarven forging technique.

Obviously, the Kingdom of Bath probably received a large amount of support from high-quality weapons and equipment from somewhere.

There are not only two parties involved in this war, there is also a third party hidden in the dark watching.

Suddenly, Ji Chen saw a rather secret imprint on the spine of the long sword near the sword tan under the sunlight.

A pair of elongated and eerie eyes.

He remembered this mark, it was a fraudster!

They all have narrow eye marks like this on the forehead of their masks.

He also remembered what Tomodo said that the fraudsters suspected to have obtained the treasure of the dwarves of the Black Iron Castle - the solar furnace, which gave them the ability to produce high-quality weapons and equipment in large quantities.

It seems that these are what they provide, but it is not known what role they played in the war between the two countries.

Ji Chen didn't think that these rats hiding in the sewer were simply providing weapons and equipment, and they must have other plans.

But what to do now is to help the Principality of Reinhardt block the attack of the Kingdom of Bath first, otherwise, once the former is completely defeated, even with his help, it will be powerless.

With this in mind, Ji Chen asked the officer.

"Where is the location of Feiguang City?"

"It's on the coast about [-] kilometers west of here, as long as you see a towering mountain peak, you can see it."

Ji Chen nodded without wasting any time, and with a wave of his hand, he led the army back into the sea again, heading west quickly, just as fast as they came.

The officer and many soldiers of the Principality of Reinhardt stared blankly at Ji Chen and the others as they left, staring at the mess on the ground.

Although they haven't fully figured out what's going on, they have a vague premonition in their hearts that this powerful army that claims to come from the ocean may be able to restore the increasingly sluggish battle situation...

After leaving the barracks, Ji Chen and the others quickly returned to the place they arrived at first. This location happened to be the midpoint between the barracks and Feiguang City. , Maybe Feiguang City has already been discovered.

Without stopping, the group started on the road again, talking about the coast and heading towards Feiguang City.

The champions of the ocean are basically all sea people, which endows them with unparalleled mobility in the sea. Even the slowest water elf shooter and cancer guard, their speed is by no means comparable to that of humans.

Fifty kilometers is only half an hour.

Ji Chen turned around a cliff, and at a glance saw the mountain peak standing in the distance, and the Feiguang City standing on the coast under the mountain peak.

50 meters high, the thick city wall engraved with defensive runes, towering arrow towers and spell towers like trees, more defensive equipment than houses in the city, and tens of thousands of soldiers of the Principality of Reinhardt stationed in the city, This makes this military city that has stood here since a hundred years ago like a hedgehog, daring to stab any claws that are stretched towards it.

However, this city, which is regarded as the light of the North Shore and considered a magnificent city in the North Continent, is shrouded in gunpowder and the sound of fighting.

Two days ago, when the entire border was in an emergency and the land troops were advancing rapidly, the Eighth Fleet of the Kingdom of Bath took advantage of the involvement of the Royal Reinhardt Fleet and the large army, and surrounded the city with a large number of heavy weapons and troops. The nails are generally stuck in cities on important marching routes.

As long as the Principality of Reinhardt is captured before it reacts, the Kingdom of Bath will firmly occupy the initiative in this war. It can advance directly to the capital city of Trins, and retreat to cooperate with the army to sweep all obstacles along the coast. The strength completely made the naval power of the Principality of Reinhardt have no place to stand.

time is life.

Therefore, the supreme commander of the blitzkrieg of the Kingdom of Bath, Marshal Russell, demanded that the attack must be done at all costs within two days—even if only a piece of ruins could be obtained in the end.

Therefore, the ferocious attack on Feiguang City far exceeded everyone's imagination.

On the side facing the ocean, more than 30 battleships of the Kingdom of Bath were lined up on the sea, and the gunfire burst from the deck, falling like raindrops on the city wall.

There are hundreds of troop carriers behind these warships. Landing craft rushed out of the openings in the bow one after another, braving the artillery fire of Figuang City's counterattack to send heavily armed soldiers to the beach.

One after another was bred by a special method. The giant monsters of different species wearing thick iron armor walked off the large landing ship. The rain of arrows thrown from the top of the city could not harm them. Only heavy crossbows equipped with heavy armor-piercing arrows and alchemy cannons can deal effective damage to them.

The small alchemy artillery mounted on the giant beast's back continued to fire, flickering the defensive runes engraved on the city wall.

Teams of soldiers followed closely behind the giant beast, and cooperated with the attack according to the infantry training siege drills.

In the sky, Pegasus Knights and Giant Eagle Archers wearing rune light armor rely on their flexibility and mobility to avoid anti-aircraft artillery fire with a limited elevation angle, deftly find the gap between the barrages, and drop a shot towards a valuable target. Enchanted arrows, dropping alchemy bombs one after another, using the tyrannical lethality to dive and kill the defenders on the city wall again and again, destroying the defense equipment, arrow towers and spell towers, reducing resistance for the troops climbing the city.

Soldiers were constantly killed in artillery fire and attacks, both from the Kingdom of Bath and from the Principality of Rhinehardt.

Such a magnificent battle was displayed in front of him without any concealment.

At this moment, Ji Chen felt like he was at the scene of the Blue Star World War II landing battle. The alien behemoths were tanks and armored vehicles, the Pegasus Knight was a dive bomber, and the Giant Eagle Shooter was a fighter jet that rained bullets.

The arrow towers and magic towers at the top of the city are machine guns and anti-aircraft guns that roar and shoot bullets all over the sky.

As the largest coastal military city in the southwest of the Principality of Reinhardt, Feiguang City is naturally armed to the teeth, with sufficient ammunition reserves and troops, impregnable walls and well-established fortifications.

The Principality of Reinhardt naturally knew that after the outbreak of the war outside Feiguang City, it would inevitably be attacked by heavy troops. Therefore, after the conflict with the Kingdom of Bath, the runes on the city wall were further strengthened and consolidated, so that it could fight against the predetermined firepower. Seven days of persistence under attack-the time is enough for them to send reinforcements from various places to rush to help in time.

However, they never expected that the Kingdom of Bath would brazenly launch a blitzkrieg, using a lightning-fast offensive to catch the northern defense area off guard. They were unable to organize military support when they were in dire straits. The fleet and the follow-up fleet launched and landed a large number of troops on the east coast of Feiguang City, delaying or annihilating the army of the Principality of Reinhardt who was about to set off to help in the adjacent area. The communication between the region and other places makes it a dark shadow on the intelligence communication map, and releases many deceptive actions and targets.

Let the city of Terlings hesitate because of the lack of intelligence - will the Kingdom of Bath deliberately let them send a large number of troops to support it, but instead directly attack the capital from other places?

And this moment of hesitation will become the key to the Kingdom of Bath's victory in this war.

All these plans have resulted in Feiguang City being isolated and helpless. It can only rely on the tens of thousands of soldiers stationed in the city and the defensive offensive to support them.

If that's all, there is still a chance of salvation.

As long as Terings City responds in time and sends elite troops from the capital to help, then this city with a strong defense force may be able to persist until the arrival of reinforcements.

However, the army of the Kingdom of Bass, who was approaching the city, brought them a surprise.

The fleet that was lined up on the sea in an orderly manner like a battle formation suddenly stopped the bombardment that had lasted for several hours, and the sudden silence made the entire sea seem quite silent.

Even the crazy landing troops that kept charging stopped at this time, stopping at a place 300 meters away from the city wall. The heavy infantry, sharpshooters, elite mages, and even the air troops all rose to a higher position. , Watching from the sky hundreds of meters away, all the soldiers who were still able to move stopped after receiving the order. No matter how crazy the war lunatic was, at this moment, he held back his restless heart and obediently hid behind the crawling alien giants. behind the beast.

The defenders of the Principality of Reinhardt, who were protected by the city wall engraved with runes amidst the roar of artillery fire, were still relatively safe. Seeing this scene, they couldn't help being stunned. Even the dullest people realized that there seemed to be something big is coming.

I saw the huge flagship in the fleet slowly aiming the bow of the ship at Feiguang City. With the roar of gears and machinery, an alchemy cannon made of obsidian rose from the bow deck.

Its color is so black that even sunlight is sucked in, and the thick muzzle that can fit a person makes all the soldiers on the ship pay their respects.

In the command room, Commander Shalifa of the Eighth Fleet of the Kingdom of Bath looked at the huge artillery that almost occupied the entire bow deck, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

"Are you sure this cannon can blast through the walls of Feiguang City?"

"Of course, Lord Khalifa."

The one who opened the mouth was a fraudster wearing a golden mask. The narrow eyes on the forehead of the mask were shining brightly, and the loose gray robe could hardly conceal his fiery body. Under the mask, a pair of golden eyes were like the noble blood of the world. , releasing majesty all the time.

Even if Khalifa is a high-ranking nobleman of the Kingdom of Bath and the supreme commander of the Eighth Fleet, he is still full of admiration for this mysterious and unfathomable woman. If it weren't for His Majesty's personal instructions, he would never be with such a woman. Traveling alone.

He remembered that His Majesty once said that this woman seemed to be the envoy of the organization called the Fraudster?

"The Destroyer Cannon, this one was only manufactured and existed, and it was made with enough resources to hollow out ten cities. Just like its name, it can bring about destruction and ending. No city wall can stop its bombardment."

"With its help, the walls of Feiguang City can be destroyed in just a few clicks, but you, Your Excellency Khalifa, didn't seem to believe it before, and you didn't use it for a long time, so that so many soldiers were buried in the city for nothing."

The envoy shook his head, as if feeling sorry for the soldiers who lost their lives.

Khalifa's eyes turned gloomy, and he snorted coldly, "It's not your turn to teach me, Commander."

As he said that, he felt even more afraid of this so-called holy envoy and the organization of fraudsters.

I don't know what kind of ecstasy they gave His Majesty to believe in them so much.

Not only were they allowed to participate in this honorable war, but they were also allowed to live in the palace, enjoy a high status as advisors, and participate in all aspects of the court.

Not long after these people appeared in the kingdom, His Majesty suddenly proposed to go to war with the Principality of Reinhardt, fulfilling the long-cherished wish of the ancestors and the kingdom for hundreds of years.

Although this made all the hawks including him feel ecstasy, he always felt that something was wrong-it was too sudden.

After all, at that time, although the kingdom's military strength was much higher than that of Reinhardt, the price of destroying forces of the same level must be heavy and expensive, but the emergence of fraudsters accelerated the process extremely quickly.

This organization that seems to have popped out of a rock not only brought a large amount of sophisticated weapons and equipment, ordnance, and alchemy equipment that could arm half of the kingdom, but also demonstrated extremely high alchemy technology, allowing the alchemy technology of the Kingdom of Bath to jump directly to The first of the four countries along the northwest coast.

What's more, their intelligence capabilities are even more astonishing. Information such as barracks, military forces, and city defense fortifications in the enemy's territory flows in like water, filling them with the information needed to control the war.

At this point, the kingdom is like a person who is gaining weight rapidly, possessing the power to destroy a country.

As a result, launching a war against Reinhardt seemed to be at the right time, and under this influence, the doves turned into hawks, and the hawks became even more hawkish.

Then, under a series of overt and covert pushes, the war finally arrived as scheduled.
