On the White Water River shrouded in darkness, two completely remodeled large ships with extremely weird shapes are sailing in the rolling waves with a speed and agility that are completely unsuitable for their size.
These are two large ships that vaguely have the outline of an inland sailing warship. However, about one-third of the original wooden hull is covered with a layer of metal plates for reinforcement and magic. It was originally used as the power of the ship. The sails were also removed, and a huge and sturdy metal bracket was installed on the base used to fix the mast, and straight structures like wings extended to the sides and sides of the hull, and the magic runes on the "wings" structure appeared at night There is a faint light in the middle, and it complements the magic spar lights all over the hull, and apart from the particularly conspicuous "wing" structure called "magic array", the most conspicuous thing on these two ships is It is the two huge magic devices installed on the deck.
Their basic outline seems to be an extraordinarily large magic crystal rail gun, but the "barrel" is not a straight and parallel metal guide rail, but three alloy "beams" with elegant arcs and arranged in the shape of "pin" when viewed from the front. The inner side of the alloy beams is covered with magic patterns, and a transparent and slender artificial crystal is fixed in the center of the three alloy beams by some kind of mechanical locking device. The steel mechanism connects the entire "barrel" and the base together.
The size of this device is almost twice that of the first-generation magic crystal railgun. Although according to the development law of general technological creations, after the technology matures, it must have room for improvement to optimize the structure and reduce the volume, but since its birth Judging from the initial size, this must be a powerful thing.
Those power ridges extending from the bottom of the deck and covered with magic patterns, as well as the magic net runes that can be seen everywhere on the deck, and the amplifier set exposed in the rear half of the weapon base, all of them emphasize this The "power" of something.
Carrying such a heavy set of "transformation results" on their backs, the two wooden warships in inland rivers would naturally become bulky, but they sailed fast in the water, and it was still a night when the clouds blocked the stars. Ships hardly had the habit of sailing at night, and there were no other ships on the Baishui River. On the wide and clean river, the two warships galloped at a speed that would have stunned any captain of this era.
This is all because the waves of the Whitewater River are "pushing" the two ships forward.
The two warships sailed one after the other, and the originally calm Baishui River rolled up waves near the two ships. These waves did not shake the ships at all, but pushed them to gallop steadily all the way. On the surface of the water between the waves, there is an elegant figure that is almost dreamlike, shuttles and undulates swiftly between the foam and the water.
It was a girl with a beautiful fish tail. She shuttled through the water, and her body jumped out of the water from time to time, dancing with the surrounding waves. Her fish tail beat the foam, which was in sync with the waves beside her. She was like an elf in the water , like a fairy in the river in the legend, playing with the whole Baishui River.
Byron walked out of the cabin and breathed the fresh and cool air on the White Water River. He saw Tyre swimming through the waves, and couldn't help underestimating softly: "You look more energetic when you swim in the water."
A sound of footsteps came from the side, and Gawain's voice sounded behind Byron: "That's because she had slept for two full days and two nights before this, and if she didn't wake up, I would really suspect that the fish died in the In the pool."
Byron turned around and saw the lord in uniform looking at the figure of Heli Tyre.
He saluted Gao Wen: "Lord."
Gawain waved his hand and asked casually, "How is the situation with Philip?"
Byron shook his head: "The Rock Fortress sent a team of superhumans to sneak attack on the temporary camp, but the 'sneak attack plan' that the nobles can come up with is really naive and ridiculous. Apart from the loss of manpower before the battle, I am afraid that it will not cause any damage."
Gao Wen was not surprised by this: "It's already an improvement for them to launch a sneak attack. If it weren't for those southern nobles who were beaten by us and ran to the Rock Fortress, I guess the orthodox knights in the fortress would even harass the sneak attack and destroy the camp. I can’t think of such a tactic.”
"Yeah, those nobles have finally learned how to fight," Byron smacked his lips, and then sighed, "But that Philip may have to struggle for a while, worrying about the fact that the 'war of the nobles' is gone forever, and the spirit of chivalry is vulnerable. Category… "
Gawain turned his head and glanced at Byron, his tone was a bit joking: "You know Philip quite well."
"Hey, I've been working together for six years. That kid is really talented. He became a formal knight six years ago. I'm afraid he will be able to reach the intermediate level in the past two years. In this life, he may have the opportunity to challenge the high level..." said At this point, Byron couldn't help but shook his head, "It's a pity that my head is a bit stupid, and I take all the fabricated things like knight stories and hero biographies as real. This is the first time I have seen someone believe in knights after the age of seventeen." A bullshit like a dragon can be influenced with faith."
Gao Wen is a legendary hero himself, and Gao Wen, who has a lot of hero biographies on his body, is a little embarrassed: "Ahem, hero biographies are not necessarily all made up..."
"Ah..." Byron immediately became more embarrassed. He scratched his hair a little nervously and apologetically, but he didn't know what to think of, and the expression on his face gradually became weird, and he seemed hesitant to speak. .
Gawain reacted when he saw his appearance, and said with a sullen face: "The book of more than eighty princesses is really made up."
"Ahem, yes, that must be the same as what you said..." Byron coughed on the spot, and then changed the subject abruptly before the boss drew a knife and slashed people (mercenary thinking), "But then again, why don't you see Miss Amber? "
"She's seasick and won't be able to get up for a while," Gao Wen said casually, "and she was more excited than anyone else when she came out... I don't know if she will still have the strength to go to the Rock Fortress to perform the mission after arriving at the destination. "
"Does Miss Amber actually get seasick?" Byron was a little surprised, "I thought she had no weakness in anything related to running..."
Gao Wen was disdainful when he heard the words: there is no weakness yet, how can the shame of all things have few weaknesses? Everyone knows that the "chief of the Military Intelligence Bureau is a weak mousetrap"...
At this moment, Byron stopped joking and asked a question he was very concerned about: "Lord, actually I thought you were going to set off with Philip at first, but I didn't expect you to follow my 'second echelon'. "
In the eyes of most people, it is also from the fact that the first and second combat regiments led by Philip are the frontal battlefield and the main force to attack the rock fortress, although the gate of the fortress may need to use the "calibrator" rainbow cannon However, it was the army led by Philip that actually attacked the fortress and wiped out the enemy's vital forces. It was rare for Gawain to set off far away from home. Everyone thought he was going to set off with Philip, but no one expected that the old ancestor would eventually I chose to go with Byron.
"You should know that although I am going to the battlefield, I hope that my appearance is just a symbolic meaning. The Cecil Combat Corps should have the ability to take down the fortress alone. If it is necessary to attack a rock fortress to the extent that I must go out personally , the army commander wants to apologize to the people of Cecil," Gao Wen explained, "I am more interested in new weapons and new technologies than Philip's battle."
Byron couldn't help turning his head back, looking at the "Calibrator" rainbow light cannon installed on the deck of the warship. In the deep night, this powerful new weapon crouched like a steel beast. On the deck, only a few runes showing energy status shimmered on its base, like the eyes of a beast.
"A new weapon... This thing is really exciting."
"It's not just as simple as being energetic," Gawain shook his head slightly, his eyes were on the rainbow cannon, but the focus of his sight seemed to be on a farther place, "Magic crystal rail cannon and rainbow cannon... they can Smashing the noble's castle can also tear apart the mage's barrier, the value of these two things is far from being reflected in one or two wars."
…
The team sent to attack the Cecil camp and destroy the magic devices all failed.
The bad news was sent to Rock Fortress, but Cecil's army continued to advance, and Sir Maryland's hair began to wear out at a speed visible to the naked eye.
He faintly felt that his previous self-confidence...maybe a little too much.
From the mouths of those southern nobles, he did realize that the Cecils were a huge threat, and based on the available information, he worked out a plan that could weaken Cecil's army. This plan was even against the spirit of chivalry.
He knew that the Cecils' "Skyfire Explosion" was launched by some kind of magic device, and that the Cecils still needed to establish a position to make these magic devices exert their maximum power, so he sent people to try to operate them on those magic devices. destroyed it before.
But those people encountered an exceptionally powerful force that seemed to be specially designed to fight against the extraordinary, and almost all of them were wiped out.
A sneak attack by a small group of troops is ineffective, and Sir Maryland can only start sending troops to obstruct the enemy. This is the second plan that violates the spirit of chivalry.
As we all know, the army is the most fragile and chaotic in the process of marching. It is difficult for a large number of troops to conduct effective command during the operation. Therefore, a sneak attack while the enemy is marching can often achieve miraculous results, and it is precisely because the army in chaos is likely to cause accidental casualties to the nobles, so in the traditional noble war, "to Harassment by marching troops" has always been prohibited.
But now that he had already made a sneak attack on the camp at night, the Maryland Jazz no longer cared about breaking another line of chivalry.
However, on the 56th day of the fire month in Ansu 736, the Cecilians still set foot on the narrow plain south of the Rock Fortress as scheduled, and less than half of the troops sent by Lord Maryland to harass escaped back.
Facing the stunned fortress general, the wounded knight leading the team spoke about his nightmare experience
When he led the soldiers towards the Cecils with great fanfare, the latter seemed to have seen them and was ready without any panic. The counterattack is first some kind of "Sky Fire Explosion" carried by individual soldiers, then the thrown explosives and the magic beams fired from the gauntlets, and finally the enchanted swords that can easily split the armor of ordinary soldiers, all of which are powerful.
The so-called surprise attack seemed to be the same as taking the initiative to die.
As it turns out, it's not a very good idea to leave the fortress and take the offensive no matter what kind of attack it is.
Sir Maryland could only let his heart sink to the bottom, quietly waiting for the arrival of Cecil.
On the 57th day of the Fire Moon in Ansu 736, the Cecilian banner appeared at the end of the plain opposite the Rock Fortress.
