The most shameless alchemist in history - Chapter 869
Chapter 869
For Numa no Kuni, the past week has been very uneasy, and there are two things that shocked all parties the most.
One incident was that Dohama, the lord of the old port, the six major ports in the river bay area, and the fourth port in Numa no Kuni, was assassinated.
Dohama is the head of the Octopus family, and it is also considered a well-known figure of real power in the Numa country.
After all, the Octopus family is the second largest family in the River Bend area. Because the Duke of the River Bend Messiah was very young, her father died early, and her family did not have a strong branch force, which led to the fact that In the river bay area, the octopus family is more cohesive and fighting.
They have already overwhelmed the Messiah in their arrogance, but everyone in the river bay area, and even the entire swamp country knows that this octopus family covets the throne of the river bay duke not a day or two. , They all wanted to replace the Messiah and obtain this territory in the River Bend area.
But now the Messiah’s position is still stable, but the young and powerful Dohama suddenly died. Of course, the Octopus family announced that Dohama was seriously ill and died, but who doesn’t know Dohama’s health is very good. He just married. Two newlyweds.
It was so good that he died suddenly, and it was such an extraordinary period. It was not assassinated, so what happened?
The death of Dohama triggered a chain reaction in the river bay area.
Because Dohama has always been known for his tough wrists, he has a great influence in the river bay area, and even the entire swamp country. Now he has died like this, which has triggered various opinions. At the same time, with his death as the fuse, the second major event happened.
The second major event that happened in this marsh country was that the royal capital, that is, the city of Zee, declared that the process of the Duke of the Bay Messiah was not legal and required Messiah to surrender the title of the Duke of the Bay. This approach was resisted by the river bay area.
You must know that Messiah’s father worked hard to manage the river bay area for many years, and it was because of her father’s management that the river bay area had the current weather. Although her father was no longer there, the river bay area was very much to the deceased predecessor. Lord Duke, I am very grateful.
And of the six major ports in the river bay area, four are loyal to the Messiah.
Although Zezhicheng issued an order to deprive the dukedom of the river bay, the river bay area refused to implement it.
This directly triggered Zezhicheng’s navy to launch an offensive towards the river bay area, trying to suppress it by force.
At this time, the second largest family in the river bay area, the Octopus family, also accused Messiah of being behind the killing of Dohamas. The Octopus family also organized a fleet and headed towards the river bay city. The navy of Zezhicheng and the navy of the Octopus family attacked Hewan City from two directions, which was a heavy blow to Hewan City.
We must know that although River Bay City is the capital city of the River Bay area, River Bay City has developed commerce. In terms of military strength, it is actually inferior to the fleet of the Octopus family. After all, the location of the old port is dangerous, and There are many pirates at sea.
The fleet in the Old Port often goes out to eliminate pirates, so it has more actual combat experience. In recent years, the Octopus family has expanded its armaments and purchased a large number of warships. Of course, there is a saying that the biggest pirates at sea are their Octopus family. .
They are also using the wealth from the looting to arm themselves. Of course, this is just a rumor and has not been confirmed, and no one dared to confirm it.
Guangsi, a fleet of the Octopus family, is enough to put River Bay City under pressure, let alone the fleet of Zezhicheng.
The two fleets quickly completed a rendezvous forty nautical miles away from River Bend, and they jointly sealed off River Bend.
This made it impossible for the merchant ships outside to enter River Bay, and at the same time the merchant ships trapped in River Bay couldn’t leave. For a while, they were caught in a dilemma.
Near the port of River City, a large number of merchants gathered, and they sighed in a crowd.
“Hey, what’s going on? Why do you want to block the port? The cargo of my ship is all my belongings. If it is screwed up this time, I will go bankrupt!” Some merchants were so anxious that they didn’t know what to do. What to do, he said dejectedly.
“I heard that they are going to attack River Bay City. They gave River Bay City three days to consider. Let River Bay City surrender. They will attack in three days. Today is the second day. In other words, they will be attacked early tomorrow morning. Will launch an offensive?” Someone who knew the inside said.
“This group of guys, why do you have to fight in a good manner? Moreover, the Messiah-sama’s policy over the years is very loose, and it has also provided us with a lot of convenience. Isn’t it a joke to let the Messiah surrender? “Some people said angrily.
At this time, there were a large number of ships staying outside the port, there were hundreds of ships, and some sailors were drinking bored on the shore.
There are also guards patrolling nearby, and the newly purchased magic cannon is ready to be erected on the fort in the distance.
There are also many guards constructing fortifications nearby, which is a precursor to preparing for war.
There is no doubt that it is impossible for the river bay area to surrender, because it concerns the dignity of the people in the river bay area.
If you surrender easily, then people in other areas will look down on people in the river bay area.
Besides, the people in the river bay area think that it is the hard work of the previous duke that gave them a good life.
Now that the Duke’s daughter is in trouble, it is time for them to repay, so it is impossible for them to shrink back.
At the conscription point in River Bend, a large number of young people signed up for the army at the conscription station.
“My name is Joseph. I am seventeen years old. I have been a sailor at sea for two years. I signed up to become a sailor.”
“My name is Kaiser, and I am 28 years old this year. I graduated from the Naval Academy. I studied ballistics at school and I hope to become an artilleryman.”
“My name is Hanni. I am thirty-six years old. I have been a seaman for a few years. I have fought several times in pirates and naval battles. I have experience in naval battles. I used to be favored by the former Duke. So no matter what. Please join me in the army!”
Hundreds of people gathered around the conscription area, and those who passed the audit went to a place not far away to collect weapons under the guidance of the guards nearby.
The streets where the other party’s goods are usually stacked are all used for stacking weapons today. These weapons are roughly divided into two types.
One is the traditional swords and spears, these are just made, very sharp, and there are armors next to them.
The other is a new-style musket, with a powder gun on the other side.
Soldiers choose swords and spears or gunpowder guns based on their own experience, and choose armor and armor that suit them.
The defense force originally had only two thousand people in the river bay area. After three days of conscription, six thousand people quickly gathered.
At the clock tower in River Bay, you can see the situation in River Bay from this location. For example, you can see young people actively participating in the army. You can also see the open sea. If you use a telescope, you can also see what is on the surface of the sea. At the other end, there are a large number of warships lined up.
These warships are divided into two types. One has the symbol of an octopus, which is the family crest of the octopus family, which means that it is a warship of the octopus family, and the other is a symbol of a fish. This is the mark of the Numa country and represents the royal family from the Numa country.
There are more than one hundred warships, large and small, which is a very powerful force. Messiah put down the telescope in his hand, worried.
“My lord, according to our information, there are a total of 116 warships in the combined fleet on the sea, of which 66 are owned by the Octopus family, and the fleet of the Royal Capital is 50. There are 80 to 100 soldiers on board, which means their strength is about 10,000.”
Beside Messiah, Bill, who was her close attendant, reported on the situation.
“Is it twice as strong as ours? And they are all well-trained elite soldiers, and our number of elite soldiers is actually only 2,000, and the other 4,000 are temporarily conscripted, and how many ships do we have? ?” Messiah asked.
“Report your lord, our ship is thirty-five.” Bill answered truthfully.
“Do they also have an overwhelming advantage in the number of warships? So we can’t fight them in the open sea. We can only hold on to the defense, right?” Messiah knew very well what River Bend faces today. Trouble.
“That’s right, if we want to defeat them in the sea, it is almost impossible, so we can only use the port’s fort to hold on, that… my lord…” Bill was a little hesitant while reporting. The words stopped.
“What? Just tell me if there is anything.”
“I hope you will carefully consider my previous proposal, and temporarily consider withdrawing from River Bay. We first seek refuge in Bailu Port. The geographical location of Bailu Port is critical, and the Osprey family has also expressed considerable sincerity.” Bill hesitated and suggested.
“Do you mean to let me abandon my people and run away?” Messiah frowned.
“Of course I don’t mean that, sir, but we are in a very unfavorable situation now and we must consider the worst. So sir, the temporary evacuation is just a strategy, not escape or fear.” Bill hopes to be able to. Convince her.
“I understand what you mean, Bill, but now I can’t go. Once I leave River Bend, not only will the people be disappointed, but the situation will definitely be out of control. Even if I get to Port Bailu, then my In the next step, I am afraid that there will only be exile in other countries, right?”
Messiah was very clear about the situation, and she had already considered the various steps.
“This…” Bill had held meetings with many officials before. He knew very well that with the defensive power of River Bend, they would not be able to hold on for three days at most. In other words, after three days, River Bend would have been The combined fleet is captured, and the Messiah will be miserable by then!
“And I had an agreement with Du Lei. He told me to wait for him for a week no matter what happened. Today is the sixth day. In other words, if you wait another day tomorrow, Du Lei will come back. “The Messiah has another reason to continue.
That reason was the promise Du Lei gave to her before leaving.
“But tomorrow the combined fleet will launch an offensive. If Mr. Du Lei can’t come back, then we will definitely be breached, and in the face of such a combined fleet, even if Mr. Du Lei is there, I am afraid…” Bill did not Do not doubt Du Lei’s ability.
After all, if it hadn’t been for Du Lei, they would have been trapped in the sea a long time ago and could not come back.
But at the same time he also knew how terrifying a fleet is, especially a huge fleet with more than one hundred warships.
He doesn’t think that a single person has the ability to fight against so many warships.
“It doesn’t matter, I believe him, I believe that Du Lei will definitely come back and solve the problems here, so before then, no matter how difficult the situation in River Bay City is, I think we should stick to it. Hold on until he comes back!” Messiah clenched his fists and made up his mind.
“This…Since you have said this, Lord Messiah, then I will go down and make arrangements. In terms of our defensive capabilities, it is fine to stay for three days.” Bill gritted his teeth and said with difficulty.
He and Messiah looked into the distance together. The combined fleet is about to attack tomorrow. Will that man really come back?
On the sea in the distance, the warships assembled in one place, which was in a very state of affairs.
On the deck of the flagship, Helden was raising his binoculars and looking into the distance.
He only left River Bend in a desperate manner not long ago. At that time, a guy named Du Lei warned him in River Bend.
This made him very upset, but at the time he knew that there was no way to take Du Lei for a while, and it would be life-threatening to stay.
So Helden chose to go back to the old port.
Originally, he returned to Old Port to discuss the next step with his father.
But who would have thought that his father was dead.
This makes Helden a particular headache.
But at the same time he also seized an opportunity, an opportunity for him to come to the stage.
Because before that, others always label him a dude, thinking that he can only survive in the shadow of his father.
But his father is dead, although the official documents from the royal capital have not been approved yet.
But it was already a certainty that Helden inherited his father’s title and territory.
Moreover, due to the assassination of Dohama, this has set off a feverish revenge within the Octopus family.
People shouted to kill the murderer, which gave Helden a chance.
As long as he seizes this opportunity and wins River Bay City in one fell swoop, then he will be proved that he is more powerful than his father, he will become the legend of the Octopus family, leading the family to have extraordinary achievements, How great is that!
“Riverbay City? I’m back again, but this time I’m back with the fleet, Messiah, just take a good look, there will be times when you plead in front of me!” Haierden showed whiteness. He put down the telescope and said fiercely.
