The most shameless alchemist in history - Chapter 870
Chapter 870
The three days of the ultimatum issued to River City by the combined fleet composed of the royal fleet of Zezhicheng and the octopus fleet of the octopus family quickly passed. After three days, they joined forces. I didn’t get the letter of surrender from River Bend. In fact, this was also expected.
After all, Riverside City is not a good bone to chew. According to the news from the eyeliner in Riverside City, in just a few days, Riverside City has gathered thousands of troops, although Riverside City The strength of the fleet is weak, and there is no way to fight against the combined fleet.
However, River Bay City’s defense capabilities are still top-notch. This is a city that the previous duke has managed for many years. If he persists in resisting without considering the consequences, I am afraid that the combined fleet will not be able to win River Bay City’s possessions without considering the consequences. .
Of course, the most direct consequence of staying for a month is that the prosperous River Bend City will be riddled with shelling, destroying the city’s development over the past two decades. This is not only for the River Bend area, but also for The entire Numa country is a major loss.
The royal capital was willing to bear the pain, because they did not want to see a powerful force threatening the royal capital, but Helden had to think carefully, because once the river bay city was destroyed, then even the royal capital would honor it. Promise that he will serve as the Duke of River Bend.
But he, the Duke of the River Bend, is a Duke in the ruins. He does not have the patience of the previous Duke. He spent another 20 years to build a prosperous city. So even when the day of war came, he tried his best. Avoid firing at River Bend City.
Because he believes that as long as the riverside city is blocked and the entire riverside economy collapses, he will not be afraid that the riverside city will not compromise.
However, his thoughts lasted only one day and then changed, because at dusk the next day, an accident happened.
At this time, the top of River Bend City was full of smoke. After all, the war had begun. At Helden’s request, the fleet fired artillery and avoided the core area of River Bend City. However, in order to threaten and deter, it still carried out a series of defense lines of River Bend City. Bombardment.
Under the powerful firepower of the combined fleet, extensive damage occurred on the edge of the river bay city, which made the nearby residents very panic. All of them retreated to a safe area under the protection of guards. At sunset, the fleet stopped the shelling. .
River Bay City also seized this opportunity, and they urgently built fortifications to prepare for the next day’s battle.
“Quick, quicker, we need to fix it here, and here, damn, the firepower of those guys is even more powerful than we thought.” Sandnor directed his subordinates to carry out repairs. He was armed nearby when the fleet bombarded today.
So he was very impressed with the firepower of the fleet, and it was the first time he saw such a huge fleet of more than one hundred warships.
“Sir, can we really hold on? I heard today that many wealthy people in Hewan City have slipped away, leaving only us cannon fodder. With our strength, we must fight at the same time. Royal Capital, and the guys in Old Port, is this really okay?”
A young soldier asked curiously while he was working, it was about their lives and future.
“What stupid things are you talking about, what is called cannon fodder, it’s their business that those people leave, and we can’t care about it, but isn’t Lord Messiah still fighting with us in the city? Earlier she even risked herself personally. The artillery is coming to the front, don’t you know?”
Sandeno increased his tone and scolded the young soldier. He knew that there were many bad rumors lately.
But for someone like him, those rumors are not enough to shake his confidence, and he still stands on his ground.
“Yes, with the Lord Messiah, we will definitely stay the course to the end. Regardless of how powerful the warships are, in fact they are just bluffing.” Another soldier next to him agreed.
“But are there rumors that the royal capital has deprived the Lord Messiah of the title? What do you say that we are a rebel…” The young soldier was still a little worried, after all, there are too many rumors now, he It is not clear which sentence is true and which sentence is false.
“Stop talking nonsense, about the king’s capital? Who is this king’s representative? Will it be William or Henry? Now everyone knows that the old king hasn’t been seen for a long time. Who knows who issued these orders? I am not a king, so what right do I have to deprive him of the title of Lord Messiah? Besides, our river bay area only recognizes the river bay duke, but no matter what king is.” Some people nearby said disapprovingly.
“Yes, we Hewan people are not easy to provoke. They come if they want to come. There is also the gang of pirates in Old Port. They are obviously a group of pirates, but they try to snatch our Hewan site in a vain way. Teach them a lesson, don’t you take us too seriously?”
All the older veterans nearby are filled with righteous indignation, even if they are now in a very unfavorable situation.
But they were still united and chose to stick to the end.
“This is probably a long and bitter battle. Everyone must be mentally prepared.” Sandeno reminded everyone.
He has been on the battlefield and has many rich combat experiences, but he has never experienced such a disparity in a battle.
Especially in the face of such a large fleet, it is even more at a loss.
“Hey, sir, look over there, what is that?” At this moment, someone pointed in the air and exclaimed.
For a while, everyone’s eyes were attracted to the past.
They looked at the top of their heads in surprise, and saw something flying towards the combined fleet in the distant sunset!
At this time, Helden’s mood was very good.
Because after today’s round of attacks, they have demonstrated the huge combat capabilities of their combined fleet.
And today he received a lot of letters, all of which were sent from River Bend City.
Many businessmen in River Bend are willing to respond internally, and they have expressed their support for Helden to become the Duke of River Bend.
In fact, this is also understandable, because the blockade of Riverside City does not end for a day, the goods of these merchants will be delayed in Riverside City day by day, which means that their daily losses are increasing. I really don’t want to see it.
This is a good sign for Helden, because it means that River Bend is not a monolithic one.
If everyone works together, it is indeed not an easy task to break River Bend City, but River Bend City is too big, which means there are too many people in River Bend City, too mixed, those rivers The locals in Bay City are of course a monolithic one.
But those merchants with the highest interests are not. As long as they put a little pressure on, the merchants will naturally panic. They don’t want to let the loss continue, but just want to end the war early, and this gives Helden a chance to take advantage of it. He has reason to believe that Hewan City will be taken soon!
In order to celebrate such a good omen, he even opened a bottle of good wine on the deck and drank slowly.
Because in the near future, he will enter the river bay city and become the master of this city, and he will also become one of the most powerful people in the Numa country. This is a qualitative leap for him. Well, no one will dare to say that he is the son of Dohama again.
He will no longer be labeled as a dude, he will use his actual behavior to prove that he is also very powerful and very skilled!
However, it happened that when he was looking forward to a bright future, he noticed something flying over in the distant sky.
“What is that?” Helden frowned. At first he thought it was seagulls, but soon he realized that seagulls could not gather so many, and the flying height was too high, and the other party’s purpose was very clear. , Is for him!
“No, give me the binoculars!” Hearden noticed something was wrong, and immediately put down the wine glass in his hand and took the binoculars from his subordinates. He quickly saw the distant scene through the binoculars. When he saw After a large group of griffins flew up in the sky, they were stunned.
“How is it possible that it is actually a griffin? How can a griffin appear in such a place?” Helden was stunned, and he felt very bad.
A bad premonition formed in his heart, and at this time the fleet also noticed the griffon flying over.
“An enemy attack is found ahead, and an enemy attack is found! Get ready for the fight immediately! Get ready for the fight immediately!”
The navigator of the fleet quickly noticed the abnormal situation and immediately relayed the instructions.
“Enemy attack? Where is the enemy attack? Isn’t it calm ahead?”
“Yeah, the guys in River Bend made us too afraid to raise our heads. Where would they dare to come out?”
“They are all head-shrunk turtles, don’t they dare to show their heads?”
The guards on the ship were a little confused when they heard the alarm, because the river bay city in front did not respond.
“No, it’s not River City. Look over there!” At this moment, a veteran suddenly noticed and pointed to the air.
“It’s…no, what the dense and dense stuff that flew over…what is it?” Just when the young guards were all at a loss, someone looked into the air following the veteran’s pointing. Soon I saw something flying over in black.
They had never seen such a battle, and they were all dumbfounded for a while.
“No, it’s Griffins! They are coming for us, everyone quickly find a place to hide, and return to their posts to prepare for defense!” An officer recognized this scene and immediately issued an order to yell at him. I have seen the powerful destructive power of Griffins on the battlefield.
It’s hard to deal with just a griffin, let alone this kind of griffin army in groups with hundreds of heads!
Following the officer’s scolding, the guards who had been leisurely basking in the sun suddenly became nervous, and they hurriedly returned to their posts to prepare for defense.
But the speed of the Griffins is too fast. They were clearly on the horizon last moment, but within a short time of just a few breaths, they had already narrowed the distance. When the Griffins flew over, they were engulfing the formations. In the strong wind, swept by the howling wind, deep knife marks appeared on the mast. Obviously, the griffon released the wind blade when it was approaching, causing a range of damage.
“Everyone is ready to attack!” In the air, a young female general wearing armor, holding a spear in her hand.
Under her order, all members of the Griffin Legion entered a state of combat.
The distance was shortened in an instant. On the back of the Griffon, the Griffin Riders who had cooperated with the Griffon tacitly, and were almost integrated, brandished their javelins and threw them towards the warship below.
If it were just an ordinary javelin, it would naturally have no effect. After all, the target of the warship was too large and the number was too much.
And the soldiers can escape in the cabin, but this is not an ordinary javelin.
Fireball was applied to each javelin in advance, and when the javelin fell to the ground, the fireball was detonated.
The fireball that exploded in an instant began to burn along the surrounding combustibles.
Whether it is the sail of a warship or its wooden structure, it is easy to burn.
The flames spread almost instantly, causing a sea of flames around.
Hundreds of griffins threw hundreds of javelins at the same time, but these griffon riders prepared more than one javelin.
Each of them has prepared three roots.
And every javelin is attached with fireball!
In a very short period of time, more than a thousand javelins were thrown.
This made the entire fleet too late to react, and it permeated a raging sea of flames.
This came so suddenly, they were not prepared at all.
After all, what they were preparing to deal with in advance was the River Bend Fleet, and the River Bend Fleet was shrouded in the harbor and did not dare to come out.
This is when they are most proud of.
Who would have thought that a Legion of Griffins would suddenly fall from the sky at this time and engulf them with fire?
Exclamation and screams came and went one after another, and many young guards who had no time to react had to jump into the sea to survive.
While the fire was burning, the wind-attribute magic carried by the Griffin slapped itself, which also contributed to the flames to a considerable extent.
Under the strong wind, all the warships were burning blazingly, and no one was spared.
Helden stood on the deck and watched all this in a daze. For him, his dream had just begun. He was a man who wanted to make a career. This fleet was his springboard.
But his springboard was being burned, but he had no choice but to watch the fleet head toward destruction.
“No, it’s not true, my dream, my ambition, how could it be burned like this, it’s impossible…”
Although there was a raging fire around, Helden’s face was black and purple.
“Quickly run away, the fleet has been destroyed, let’s leave here quickly!” Helden’s subordinates persuaded each other bitterly.
Soon he dragged him away in a small boat…
