A huge flame shot up into the sky.
Even the queen who was in the Roland fleet could clearly see that black smoke and flames rolled up together at that moment, like the evil snake that tempted people to commit crimes in the scriptures, swam wildly and recklessly into the sky.
"It's really a big deal."
The queen looked at the flames over there and sighed.
The history books of later generations used the description of Prince Arthur not so much as describing a crazy prince in the world, but as describing a devil walking in the world. Even the historians of the Root Empire itself mentioned Prince Arthur with deep fear.
For one thing, Prince Arthur himself was an unquestionable genius, in every way.
He himself improved gunpowder, and when the old nobles were still immersed in the afterglow of the cold weapon era, he used gunpowder to create the highest death record on the battlefield in the entire sixteenth and seventeenth centuries—the most famous one, he blew up the A whole city.
If Prince Arthur wanted Orsis to die in this war, what would he most likely do
Not the Duke of Leicester's betrayal.
After Heinrich revealed that the Duke of Leicester had secretly taken refuge in Orsis, the Queen had been thinking about what Prince Arthur would choose and how would he do it
The Duke of Leicester is just a pawn that Prince Arthur placed on the bright side, but this pawn should have other uses besides diverting Orsis' attention.
Before long, the Queen had an important message.
Among the vassal knights of the Duke of Leicester, there is a family that runs an inconspicuous gunpowder factory.
During Prince Arthur's stay in Rose Strait, the Queen spent a lot of time with him. Just as Prince Arthur knew her secrets, she also knew Prince Arthur: genius-like arrogance, treating the world as The script pursues all artistic beauty that shakes the times.
The Queen speculated that Prince Arthur's improvement of gunpowder and later use of gunpowder to blow up an entire city was probably due to an artistic pursuit of "ending the old era".
That leaves the most likely plan:
—Prince Arthur is known as the "Prince of Evil", what could be more in line with his artistic aesthetics than a dazzling explosion
The Queen can almost imagine Prince Arthur's mood when he made this plan. The blond-haired, blue-eyed lunatic probably smiled while thinking that this scene was very much like the invincible hero king depicted in the scriptures. Because he offended God, God sent down fire and devoured his ship.
"Good luck."
The queen only glanced at the flames over there, and then looked back.
In the morning, after hearing gunshots from the Root fleet, the queen sent someone to row over to inform Orsis of some guesses.
She could indeed have informed Orsis earlier.
But Roland doesn't need this.
Just like Root doesn't need Roland's fleet to win big.
…………………
The doctor urgently bandaged the wound on Orsis' shoulder.
Orsis calmly looked at the wreckage of the flagship of the Root Empire burning on the sea, along with another warship of the Root Empire and two warships of the Yagers. His dear brother expressed his long-lost greeting to him, and this greeting was extraordinarily heavy.
"His Majesty."
Cadenia, the captain of the pro-guard who was loyal to Orsis, looked pale. He looked straight at the direction of the aftermath of the explosion, his palm tightly grasped the hilt of his sword, and the back of his hand stretched out with striking blue veins.
"Those Rolands... those Rolands could have reminded us earlier."
Instead of sending someone to inform them that the warship was laid with gunpowder after the war broke out.
Had it been earlier, they would have been able to clear the gunpowder from the bottom of the battleship instead of being forced to abandon Eagle Wing and hastily evacuate the important personnel on it. In order to prevent the soldiers of the warship from mutinying in panic, they could only conceal the news, and finally, use it as a giant bomb sailing towards the enemy.
Watching the "Eagle Wing" explode, these insiders of Root only felt that a piece of flesh had been gouged out of their heart with a knife.
Not to mention the symbolic significance of the "Eagle Wing" as the Royal Flagship of the Root Empire, but the "Eagle Wing" itself is an extremely important naval wealth of the Empire. It is one of the warships with the largest tonnage in the Root Empire. It has served in the Root army for nearly 20 years and has a very high honor status. In addition, the time for evacuation was too short, and too many experienced naval soldiers, sailors, and oarsmen were left on the battleship. These precious talents disappeared in the fireworks along with the explosion.
For the Root Empire, there is no more humiliating and heart-wrenching water fireworks.
"Think better." Orsis also watched the whole process of the "Eagle Wing" explode. He was silent for a moment, smiled, and said, "At least the power of this bomb is unprecedented, isn't it?"
No one can refute this sentence. Since the development of gunpowder, there has been no more terrifying "bomb". The entire "Eagle Wing" crashed into the group of Yager warships at the fastest speed. When it exploded, the three nearest Yager warships were blown to pieces together. The aftermath spread, and the hulls of the two adjacent warships suffered varying degrees of damage.
Almost in an instant, a hole was torn open in the front line of the Yager people near the coast.
Although few people can smile at such a victory.
A heavy weight weighed on their hearts.
They all knew that the soldiers of the "Eagle Wing" warship were abandoned by them personally... This heaviness is more or less related to personal feelings, and there are also their relatives and friends on it.
"But they could have..." Someone else wanted to speak resentfully.
"Nothing to complain about."
Orsis took the gun from the squire and gave the order.
"fighting!"
The battleship temporarily replaced as the flagship also collided with another Yager battleship at this time, and the hand-to-hand battle broke out on the deck almost instantly.
Orsis's shoulder was scratched by a stray bullet when he was transferred to the safety ship, and it became stinging after only a simple bandage. He fired the gun calmly, and he couldn't see the slightest influence of the injury on his face, but when he glanced at the burning "Eagle Wing" wreckage not far away, he vaguely felt a bit of irony. ridiculous.
It's really nothing to complain about, and it's also really funny.
Adele would wait until the war was about to start before sending someone to inform them that there was a bomb buried on the "Eagle Wing", and Orsis was not surprised at all. It's as if he would have done the same thing if he had changed—or in other words, the Root Empire was doing the same thing as the Roland Empire.
When this war is over, from the Sea of Heaven to the Red Sea, there are only two masters left, Roland and Root.
Yet no master can co-exist, any more than a crown can be worn on two heads at the same time. From the Sea of Heaven to the Red Sea, there was only one voice left in the end, either Root or Roland. At that time, Root and Roland should draw their swords to meet each other.
Knowing that the opponent will soon become an enemy, why not weaken the opponent in advance
Root thought so, so a few days ago, the emissary from the Heinrich family quietly boarded the warship of the Root Empire in the dark night.
Coincidentally, Roland thought so too.
So on this day, the queen notifies their sampan ships, which are not dispatched until the battle is about to begin.
All for that sentence:
The national interest comes first.
But it’s also really ridiculous—sarcastically ridiculous.
Jager was allied with the Free Commercial City, but he only wanted to use the Free Commercial City as cannon fodder on the battlefield; the Free Commercial City colluded with Prince Arthur and the Heinrich Family, and betrayed the Heinrich Family to him; The Te Empire is allied with the Roland Empire, and both sides want to use this war to weaken their future enemies as much as possible; betrayed Leicester to his queen, and an emissary of that family aboard Root's galley...
In addition to these, how many other people's shadows are in action
His good brother Arthur? St. Telefus II at war with Sioule
I'm afraid there will be no more shameless and disgusting collusion and betrayal than this. Even Orsis can't fully see how many alliances exist at the same time in this war. And among these alliances, almost none is truly reliable, and all the oaths have their own intentions behind them.
Disgusting.
It's a pity that they live in such a disgusting world and play such a disgraceful role.
Orsis thought calmly, and shot and killed another enemy.
His marksmanship was unexpected and accurate.
…………………
At the same time, Roland's left wing.
The private fleet of the Heinrich family sailed on the sea.
