Heroes of the Invincible Knight

South of the Kingdom, Port of Havre.

The turquoise sea water is slightly swaying with blue waves, and the sun shines on the sea surface to rip up pieces of golden scales. Some seabirds are taking advantage of this sunny and sunny weather to land and hunt frequently, and catch some small fish on the sea surface.

Originally, this was a suitable day to go out of the port, but now almost all ships are docked in the port.

The Port of Havre is an inconspicuous small seaport that cannot stop any large ships, but because it is connected to the main shipping line and is backed by several small towns for trade, you can eat some leftovers from maritime trade, and there are some fishermen around. Returning here to sell some fish to make some money, so although the Port of Havre is relatively small, but because of its mixed use, it is usually quite popular, and it can be regarded as having walked out of its own development path.

It's just that the port of Havre, which was once considered prosperous, now looks a little deserted. Because of the chaos of the sea tribe, some big ships dare not go to sea, let alone the small boats in the port of Havre. Fishermen have to risk their lives to make a living. Once they are discovered by the sea tribe, they may even take the boat into the sea by the sea tribe.

"Captain, when do you think the Sea Clan will stop, it's not a big deal if it continues like this."

There are still some guards patrolling the port. Originally, they were just to maintain order in the port. They would not be as diligent as they are today, patrolling along the port over and over again. But recently, the sea clan has caused a lot of trouble, so they have to strengthen their patrols.

"This is beyond our control. This is something that only the big shots in Posey City and the capital can take care of. We just need to do a good job of patrolling. I heard that the Sea Clan has already started attacking the port."

"Hey, this group of damned people are arrogant in the sea. How dare they come to our port of Havre to see if I don't make them into dried fish."

Another taller and stronger guard in the patrol team seemed to be more confident in his own strength, and he was not very afraid of the invasion of the sea tribe.

It is normal for the soldiers of these patrols not to have much fear of the sea tribe. The sea tribe is different from the orcs. In terms of individual combat ability, the sea tribe is not as good as humans. Their advantage is in the sea. Once they land on the shore, as long as they accept It is no problem for the trained human soldiers to fight two or three ordinary sea people.

The main advantage of the Sea Clan lies in their large numbers and their proficiency in naval battles. At sea, every human ship will be divided into different individuals by the huge number of Sea Clans, and it is difficult to support each other. A large ship with thousands of people is very It may be besieged by tens of thousands of sea tribes. Fighting sea tribes at sea has always been the most troublesome thing for the human southern army.

But humans have always had an advantage on land. The Confederate Corps was originally considered a weak brigade, and the patrols like the Port of Havre were not even in the regular army sequence of the Confederate Corps. The underdogs among the underdogs, even they dismissed the Sea Clan who went ashore, so one can imagine how poor the Sea Clan's land combat ability is.

"Okay, don't talk big, patrol well, if you let the Sea Clan go ashore to do some damage, no one will be able to get this month's military salary."

"Captain, we haven't finished paying last month's money yet."

It’s okay if the captain doesn’t say anything. As soon as he mentioned this word, a soldier in the team began to complain. These soldiers were not in the ranks of the Kingdom’s regular army, and their daily salaries were paid by the financial revenue of the Port of Havre. , Now that the Sea Clan is making such a fuss, the income of the Port of Havre has been almost zero recently, and even the salaries of these soldiers were only paid half last month. The money is gone.

"That's right, captain, when will the gentlemen above hand out the money, my family will live on my little money, if this continues, we will have no food next month."

The income of these port guards is average, just because the kingdom traditionally values ​​armaments, and the military pay of the garrison is slightly higher than the income of ordinary people compared to the 60-70% of the regular army. But if this situation continues for another month or two, the life of these ordinary soldiers may be really difficult.

"Okay, okay, don't complain, if any brother in the team can't eat at home, come to me to borrow rice, among other things, a mouthful of food can still control the brothers."

As the patrol captain in charge of more than a dozen small soldiers, his life is better than these small soldiers. He was originally a veteran of the Southern Corps and had actual combat experience with swamp trolls. Although he did not have the strength of a quasi-knight, he He is also known as the elite of the army. After returning to his hometown with a sum of money, he became a fighter in the army.

After joining the Port of Havre Guards, with his long-term service experience and excellent skills in the regular regiment, he soon became a small boss, and his daily military pay was actually higher than when he was a soldier in the Southern Corps. I have some savings, so I have the confidence to say that I will support my soldiers with some food. As an excellent grassroots officer, in addition to showing majesty to my soldiers, I also need to have some means of winning relationships.

"Hahaha, goodbye, goodbye, I heard that the captain just raised a lover in Dongxiang last month, and money is tight, how can we not be ignorant!"

The soldiers who were still complaining just now started joking when they heard what the captain said. After all, they were much luckier than the group of wharf workers and farmers before they really reached a desperate situation.

"Ha ha ha ha…"

The soldier's speech immediately caused a burst of laughter, and the captain was not annoyed. This vicissitudes of life old man even had a smug smile on his face.

"Team, captain, look over there, what is that?"

While everyone was laughing, the smile on the face of a soldier who was always facing the sea faded away, and the expression on his face gradually turned into panic. Everyone turned their heads and found the abnormal direction of the sea under his reminder.

What kind of scene is that? At this time when the tide should not be high at all, the waves form a white line and rush towards the port of Havre. If you look carefully, you can find that there are densely packed sea people sitting on the waves, waving their teeth and claws. Waving the weapon in his hand...

"Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!"

The soldiers on the watchtower also noticed the abnormality, and the bells representing the emergency rang continuously, reminding the port city that the crisis had come.

"Retreat! Back to the high ground!"

The patrol captain made a judgment within a few seconds. The prodigal son was shot down. If they stayed on the coastline, let alone fighting, I am afraid that everyone would be swept away by the waves, and they would not be able to go to the port. Look at this prodigal son. I am afraid that the entire port is within its submerged range, and those who are still in the port can only let them ask for luck.

"boom!"

The waves came up quickly, and the ships in the port were smashed to pieces by the waves. Some small boats that were not strong were even smashed to pieces by the waves. Most people in the harbor could not escape, and they were all swept into the waves. inside.

Although these people who lived in the port all year round were good at swimming, whether they were civilians or soldiers, they were not comparable to the sea tribe. Before they could struggle a few times, they were killed by the sea tribe who drove them into the sea.

Although the members of the patrol team on the other side have already retreated to the higher ground, and some people who started to react faster, or who are farther away from the port, have retreated to the high ground behind the port. Only less than a thousand people managed to escape from the small port.

Even this successful escape was only temporary. The waves were even more violent than imagined. After submerging the port, the waves continued to extend inland. Not far from the high ground, when the sea water was blocked by the terrain and gradually receded, a sea tribe soldier appeared from the sea water and surrounded the last group of survivors in Port Havre in an arc shape.

These sea soldiers held weapons made of special shellfish and wore algae-woven protective gear. Their average height was less than 1.6 meters and their wretched movements looked ridiculous.

But at this moment, none of the nearly a thousand survivors, including the soldiers, could laugh, because the number of these sea soldiers was terrifying, and there were thousands of them just now, and with the As the sea receded, more and more Sea Clan soldiers began to show their figures.

"Everyone! Prepare to fight!"

The patrol captain observed the situation in front of him, and quickly came to the conclusion that he could not run away. They were basically surrounded by the sea people. After leaving the high ground, they were surrounded by waist-deep seawater. In the two or three feet deep water, human beings can't run away from the Sea Clan no matter what.

Under the command of the captain, his patrol soldiers quickly stood up and followed the captain. It can be seen that the captain usually has a high prestige and is still supported by his subordinates. After they stood up, some other soldiers who ran out also Spontaneously stood up, and there were more than 50 soldiers with fairly complete equipment.

"Hold the gentle slope, don't let these guys rush up!"

This gentle slope is actually not easy to defend, but it is the last barrier that this group of survivors can rely on.

"boom!"

Soon, the screaming Sea Clan rushed up, and the patrol captain stood at the forefront, and cut off the head of the Sea Clan who rushed to the front with one knife.

The other soldiers also achieved great results in the moment of fighting. Humans have a lot of advantages in terms of equipment and strength when facing the Sea Clan.

Although the equipment of the port guards is not sophisticated enough, they still have a piece of leather armor inlaid with iron pieces. It is definitely not enough for them to fight with the orcs with iron weapons, but they performed well against this group of poorly equipped sea people. not bad.

It's a pity that this advantage is destined not to last. There are too many soldiers of the Sea Clan, they beat repeatedly like waves hitting a rock, but this group of surviving humans is not as strong as the rock, at most it is a pile of hardened soil , Soon some soldiers were brought down by the Sea Clan, and a loophole appeared in the line of defense.

"Quick! Men go up! Don't let them rush up!"

At this moment, they don't care about whether these civilians have weapons in their hands, so they can only find a way to pick up the missing weapons on the ground and fight. If they don't block the Sea Clan on the gentle slope, everyone will die.

"kill!"

The captain slashed another sea soldier. As a small boss, he was wearing a serious iron armor. The ridiculous weapon in the hands of the sea soldier couldn't even break through the iron armor on his body. Rich old pawn, he also protected the unprotected parts of his body very well. After fighting for a while, he had already chopped down several sea tribe soldiers, but he himself was not injured at all!

"Hold on, beat them down!"

Those who can escape here are basically young and strong. Despite their desperate efforts, they still broke out a lot of fighting power. Under the leadership of dozens of soldiers, they blocked the attack of the Hai Clan for a while.

"boom!"

"Captain, captain!"

"Pooh!"

"It's the patrolling guard of the Sea Clan!"

A guy who is obviously much stronger than the surrounding sea clansmen suddenly appeared, and suddenly gave the captain of the sea clan who was slashing and killing. .

The weapons in the hands of these sea elites have become more refined stone axes, which have a certain armor-piercing effect. They are also equipped with more sophisticated sea shark leather armor, and their combat effectiveness is not inferior to that of the elite human race.

"One, two, three..."

Of course, there were more than one sea patrolling guards. After a group of ordinary sea tribes consumed a lot of human energy, they slowly emerged, and hundreds of sea patrolling guards mixed in with the ordinary sea tribes attacked.

"kill!"

The last thought in the mind of the captain holding the saber was that she was lucky enough to be placed in Percy City...

…

Posey

One of the largest cities in the south of mankind, and the closest big city to the ocean, the entire Percy has a population of 200,000 people. There is constant trade on weekdays. The rare treasures in the sea are collected and distributed here, and the goods in the north are all the way down the river. Selling here, in terms of prosperity alone, Percy doesn't even lose to the capital.

It's just that Posey, who is usually prosperous, is a bit deserted now. Since the riots of the Sea Clan, Posey can be said to be in a depression visible to the naked eye. The merchants can't make money, and the common people have lost their source of income. If it continues like this, Posey will completely decay.

Santo's Mansion

Paley was sitting in the room with a sad face watching the information sent from various places. The kingdom does not prohibit princes from becoming local high officials. Paley sat in the seat of the Posey City Lord's Mansion by virtue of his identity and means. His ability will never arouse Ryan's fear.

Relying on the big city of Posey City, which radiates several provinces in the south, Paley has accumulated a lot of strength, but he is so worried about how big the plate is, and he is the one who suffers the most from the sea clan's rebellion. He needed money and the sea trade was interrupted, and he lost most of his financial resources. If this continues, the situation he managed so hard to manage may collapse overnight.

"Report! My lord, the port of Havre has been ransacked by the sea tribe, and the sea has flooded the port. So far, no survivors have been found..."

Not long after the Port of Havre fell, Percy got the news and sent it to the Santo's Mansion.

Another bad news, Paley, who was always laughing and joking in front of Li Cha, now has a bitter face like a bitter gourd, and he has completely lost his usual escape.

The current situation is even more severe than when Richard got married in the royal capital, and the situation is deteriorating faster than Paley imagined. The Sea Clan seems to have mastered the method of controlling the tide, and the low-lying areas along the coast will be threatened by the Sea Clan in the future. Under the circumstances, judging from the meaning of the Sea Clan, I am afraid that they want to destroy all coastal ports and completely force humans back to land.

Perhaps the kingdom can accept this result, and when it is a last resort, it can even move the coastal people back directly, adopt a shrinking posture, and fully deal with the threat of the orcs, but this result is absolutely unacceptable to Paley. If it develops to this point, it means As a result, his power will be greatly reduced, and he will be completely out of the battle for the throne.

"Come on!"

After Paley thought about it, he summoned an orderly who had been waiting outside the door.

"My lord, please give me instructions."

"Use the first-class wind bird to send this letter to Hunter's house in the Northland."

"Yes, my lord."
