Monarch of Evernight

Chapter 577: Boarding battle

Views:

Qianye was also touched, and the two fell into silence for a moment.

The huge landing fleet was flying in the void, and there were several attacks during the following journey, but the attacks were all small-scale fleets, not as powerful as the Nerubian fleet that appeared for the first time, and they were all escorted in the end The fleet repelled without risk. Therefore, the Third Fleet of the Empire has never appeared, as if lost in the depths of the void.

Several consecutive attacks still caused the landing fleet to lose more than ten transport ships, and thousands of soldiers were buried in the cold void. However, the losses of Yongye's side were even worse than that of the empire, so on the last day, there was no attack fleet.

The journey seemed extraordinarily long, and even after the high-speed frigate Qianye was on refueled once, the void floating land finally appeared at the end of his sight.

Looking from the bridge at this moment, the void floating land is just a spot of light the size of a fingernail, but in fact, it is a huge landmass enough to build seven provinces. Even though they had already seen the void floating land, the entire landing fleet still flew for a long time before approaching the floating land.

In the deep black void in the distance, you can see a little bit of fire from time to time. After hearing Zhao Yuying's explanation, Qianye realized that it was the Imperial Fleet fighting with the Eternal Night Council's joint fleet, and every sudden light that lit up meant that a warship was exploding and burning. From this distance, only the explosions of large warships can be seen, and the flames produced by the explosions of small and medium-sized warships such as frigates can only be seen by people with extraordinary eyesight like Qianye.

Even so, in a short time, Qianye saw more than ten fires, and it seemed that the fleet battle in the distance was extremely fierce.

At this time, the imperial guidance ship sent an order with a light signal, and the alarm bell on the frigate suddenly rang out, and the captain yelled in a unique and thick voice: "Everyone returns to their positions! We will rush through the engagement area and make a forced landing!"

The frigate immediately boiled, and all the crew members who were still resting jumped up and rushed to their posts. Zhao Yuying walked to the console, stood beside the captain, and looked into the void in the distance. And Qianye left the bridge and went to the deck battery, which was a more suitable position for him.

The formation of the huge Imperial Landing Fleet, which was barely maintained, instantly dispersed, like flocks of frightened birds, flying towards the floating land in the void. At this time, almost all the transport ships drove to the highest speed, so the difference in performance also appeared. Almost all the transport ships in the front could keep up with the speed of the warships, while those that fell behind were not much different from the bulky cargo spaceships. . In fact, they are slightly modified cargo ships.

The sighting window of the turret has been repaired briefly, but there are still cracks on it. Through the window, Qianye could see many battleships from Yongye's side appearing in the distance, swooping towards them like sharks smelling blood.

Behind the sharks, there are many imperial warships. They are not eager to intercept the sharks, but swim around, pounce on them from time to time and bite hard. In a short period of time, three of Eternal Night's floating warships were destroyed and burned, but most of the attack ships still rushed towards the Imperial Landing Fleet.

The Imperial Landing Fleet suddenly became more chaotic. While cursing the people of the Imperial Fleet loudly, the captains of many transport ships desperately operated the steering of the floating ships in order to avoid the bloodthirsty sharks. Some transport ships let out clouds of steam in a desperate attempt to hide their tracks. But the void is different from the interior of the continent, the surrounding area is extremely empty, so what effect can a cloud of steam have

However, Zhao Yuying was obviously not the kind of person who was willing to watch the excitement. The frigate hovered lightly, took aim at a blood warship, and rushed over. The blood warship was slender and elegant, half as long as the frigate of the Zhao Clan, obviously of the destroyer level, but Zhao Yuying went up to it regardless. On the one hand, she taught Qianye to be cautious when dealing with fleet battles, but in actual combat, she was crazier than anyone else.

Thousands of meters away, the two turrets on the bow of the blood destroyer roared at the same time, and two crossbow arrows, which were much thicker than the main guns of the escort arrows, flew towards them, and one left and one right faintly restricted the frigate's dodge.

This move alone proves that the operator of the destroyer on the other side is not easy. Moreover, the blood destroyer is still approaching at an accelerated rate. If it approaches a certain distance, the frigate will be in a very bad situation when facing an opponent that has significant advantages in both melee firepower and armor defense.

Even blood destroyers can engage in boarding battles, because destroyers obviously have more advantages when it comes to shipboard fighters and captain levels.

However, the frigate of the Zhao Clan was an exception. With Qianye and Zhao Yuying on board, even if it was a cruiser or even a battleship, it would be difficult to gain an advantage in the boarding battle.

Under Zhao Yuying's command, the frigate nimbly avoided the opponent's rounds of fire, but the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer before they knew it. However, the blood warships were obviously speeding up and drawing closer, but they no longer carried out powerful artillery bombardment. It was obvious that they were going to fight side by side.

Qianye aimed at the vital points of the destroyer several times, but knowing what Zhao Yuying was thinking, he had no choice but to let it go. These few attacks will not kill the opponent, but it may arouse the ferocity of the blood race, and no longer try to capture the frigate.

After some chasing, the frigate seemed unable to dodge, and was locked on by the anchor guns fired by the blood warship, and then more anchor guns were thrown over, and several steel cables collapsed straight, forcing the frigate closer, and finally came close to the blood warship together.

At the port, a sword edge suddenly appeared from the hatch of the frigate, and then the long sword circled around the crack of the door, and the entire hatch was removed. With a bang, the thick hatch flew inward and fell heavily to the ground.

At the cabin door, an old blood clan man with a proud face appeared, and the decoration on his collar showed his status as a Viscount. Behind the viscount, dozens of blood warriors in heavy armor followed closely, each holding heavy shields and battle axes, like steel fortresses in the narrow space.

The Blood Viscount boarded the frigate proudly, and said with a sneer, "Put down your weapons and surrender immediately. I can still let you live as slaves in my castle, otherwise..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly opened his eyes wide!

At the passage ahead, Zhao Yuying walked out leisurely, holding Kaishan flat, aiming the muzzle at his chest. At this moment, the light condensed from the mouth of the mountain cannon made his blood core tremble!

Zhao Yuying's movements seemed to be unpleasant, but the blood viscount just couldn't react. Seeing a flash of light from the opening of the muzzle, a cannonball exuding a breath of death escaped from the chamber. The Blood Viscount wanted to escape, but his feet seemed to be stuck in a swamp, and he managed to pull out one foot from the mud. Before it landed, the shells had already reached him.

Amidst the roar, there was a huge hole in the hull of the frigate, and huge damage appeared in the hull of the blood destroyer.

Zhao Yuying didn't hold back her hand, and fired several shots in one breath, and then she gave up.

When the violent storm of force dissipated, it could be seen that the frigate and the blood warship were almost smashed to pieces, and the damage on the blood destroyer was even more shocking, as if it had been blasted by the cruiser's main gun.

Among the ruins all over the ground, the upper body of the original Viscount of the Blood Race has disappeared, and around him, corpses are scattered all over the place. These blood race assault fighters can't resist the power of Kaishan, especially in the small space where the power of the hand cannon shell explosion is multiplied.

Inside the blood warship, the captain was sitting on a chair with a glass of red wine in his hand, looking at the battlefield on the other side. In his eyes, the ongoing boarding battle was nothing more than a trivial matter that could be ignored. According to past experience, most of the captains on a frigate are rank nine, and Ding Tian is a rank ten general. What I sent over was my deputy, a third-class viscount with a long history, and a full sixty high-level fighters dedicated to fighting in the ship, how could he not win.

Therefore, when the violent explosion happened, it was completely beyond the captain's expectation. After shaking violently, all the wine in the glass spilled out, staining the exquisitely handcrafted captain's uniform.

"Damn it!" he cursed angrily, standing up to see what had happened.

When he walked quickly to the porthole, he saw the huge damage on the hull and almost passed out. Immediately after he woke up, he immediately yelled, "What the hell is Ryder doing?!"

This level of damage, not to mention the battle, is considered lucky to be able to return to the Twilight Continent safely. The captain's original dream of capturing an imperial warship and earning meritorious wealth was suddenly shattered.

"This... What's going on here?" The blood captain was so angry that his hands were trembling involuntarily, he didn't notice that all the wine in his hand was spilled on him.

At this moment, Qianye's voice suddenly came from behind him: "It's very simple, because he provoked someone who shouldn't be provoked."

"Who is it!" The blood captain turned around like the wind, just in time to see the windows of the bridge blown to pieces in front of his eyes, and a slender figure walked into the bridge like a volley.

With a bang, the golden wine glass fell to the floor, and the blood captain could hardly restrain the trembling of his hands. It was a trembling from the depths of the blood core. For a moment, the blood captain seemed to think he saw a prince.

Qianye stood quietly in front of the captain, and next to him, seven or eight Blood Race crew members fell in disorder, and even the captain couldn't find out how his subordinates fell down.

Qianye looked at the captain, his eyes became deeper and deeper, like a bottomless abyss. In his eyes, the flow of blood in the blood race in front of him is almost unobstructed, and there are few secrets at all.

"A second-class viscount..." Since the bloody battle, Qianye felt that he hadn't faced a second-class viscount seriously for a long time.

"You should add Your Excellency and call me Your Excellency Forrest."

"Mr. Fowler, a mere second-class viscount is not worthy of the title of Your Excellency. At least in front of me, it is not enough."

Forles was furious: "You are provoking the majesty of an ancient clan!"

"The ancient clan? Unfortunately, it's not the twelve ancient clans."

With a choke, Forlus drew out his sword and shouted in a deep voice: "I will use your blood to wash away your rudeness just now!"

"Blood..." Qianye looked at Forles, with a strange look in his eyes. Forles couldn't tell what it meant, as if he felt emotion, regret, and pity.
