Realm of Power

In the sea of ​​Zambia, because it is close to the entrance of the Ero River, the climate in May has begun to become hot. The rough sea water continues to hit the island groups dozens of miles away from the entrance, as it crosses the entire southern Ouba. The largest river in the Luo continent, the Ero River flows into the sea for more than thirty miles. As a result, the extended continental shelf extends for more than 80 miles to the inland sea. The extremely fertile northern Great Plains of the Hérault are actually the result of countless rises of the Hérault river over millions of years. Within miles, a large amount of sediment and continental shelf emerged from the water, forming hundreds of large and small outlying islands.

These islands are also called the pearls of Zambia by the Baro people in southern Europe. This beautiful name is not a good omen, but on the contrary. The outlet of the Elo River is two hundred miles away, which is a good omen for the fleets traveling along the way. Synonymous with danger, there are countless large and small reefs that are either buried deep in the sea or emerge from the sea. Every year in late spring and early summer, there will be whirlpools of underwater water between these islands and reefs.

A large vortex can cause a ship to lose control and violently collide with nearby islands and reefs. The Eero Empire once wanted to build naval facilities in this area, but the result was that the newly launched naval fleet was hit and sank in the turbulence. , became the laughing stock of the entire Oubaluo Continent, and on some islands and reefs, thousands of years of weathering and corrosion were covered with little white traces, which looked like Like diamonds inlaid on the sea surface, they look indescribably cruel and beautiful. At this moment, on the outskirts of this island group, the sea surface in May looks rough. The waves are constantly surging, rolling half a meter high. The waves, those white ice floes were rolled by the sea water, sinking for a while, floating for a while, emitting colorful light under the sunlight.

The white rocks on the island look like colors from a distance due to angle refraction. This is also the origin of the name Zambian Pearl. For inexperienced passers-by, this often creates an illusion and stares at these for a long time. Beautiful light, but in fact, these lights are poisonous. Staring at them for a long time will cause irreversible damage to the eyes, which is the same as snow blindness caused in the snow." Hu Ke "Lord Qili, thirty miles further east is the outlet of the Ero River. If you are interested, I can arrange for two Imperial Dragon Tooth warships to escort you there." Dust, who was wearing the uniform of the Imperial Navy Minister Lun Kai put the chart in his hand on the table and looked at a middle-aged man wearing the uniform of an imperial general who looked sternly into the distance. This middle-aged man's eyes were cold and sharp. He was the emperor's general. Minister of State Hu Keqili,

"It's better to get down to business first. The outcome of the battle between the Rilla people and the Biang people should be in one or two days. We don't have much time left. If something goes wrong because of looking at the mouth of the Erro River, His Majesty will investigate If you get up, you and I will be very embarrassed." Hu Keqili showed a deep and helpless expression on his face. With Nai's wry smile, the entire Obarro believed that this important imperial minister was now in Central Obarro and was about to make the final decision on the war between the Kingdom of Rila and the Kingdom of Biang. However, not many people knew the true location of this important minister of the empire. It is at the mouth of the great river Hérault, 1,100 miles away from Barro in Central Europe.

As the two giants of the Imperial Navy and the Army, the relationship between the two is far from being as incompatible as outside rumors say. On the contrary, they were both important ministers in the Emperor Samor's era and had a very good relationship. Hu Keqili's central Army, and even relied on Dostronkai's relationship to establish a maritime trade chamber. Many injured officers of the Imperial Central Army became members of this maritime trade chamber after retirement, and the Imperial Central Army had no regard for those who died in battle. who A large part of the pension that far exceeds that of other legions also comes from this Maritime Trade Chamber. To a certain extent, this can be regarded as a cooperation project between the Imperial Navy Department and the Imperial Central Army. This is mainly because m, the Imperial Navy Admiral More than half of them were officers of the Imperial Central Army who were transferred to the Navy. Although they did not agree with the other Imperial regiments, the Imperial Navy admirals were still very considerate to their old employers and former colleagues.

"Well, in that case, Sir Hu Keqili, please take a rest first. I believe that everything should be solved by the time you wake up." Dostelenko smiled at the corner of his mouth.

"That's fine. To be honest, after being on the sea ship for fourteen days in a row, I almost couldn't hold on anymore. I'm very grateful to Commander Dostronkai for giving me a chance to rest!" Hu Keqili didn't mean to force himself at all. , nodded to Dostelenko, turned around and walked out of the command cabin,

He knew that this was Dostronkai's way of taking care of his own face, otherwise it would be a bit embarrassing for him, the head of the Imperial Army, to lose his composure amidst the deafening roar of countless naval thundergods in the Imperial Navy, because this kind of thing has happened before. Yes, although the Army also has Thors, the scale that can reach a hundred-door volley is unparalleled. As for the Navy, a hundred-door Thundergod salvo is simply child's play. A dragon's tooth battleship There were forty ships, and they launched a fierce landing attack. Hundreds of Imperial Navy warships were violently bombarded in turn. The number of Thors was probably more than 5,000. Countless thunder bombs exploded. It is not an exaggeration to say that the sea was boiling. Navy sailors are used to it, but the Army is in a miserable situation. They don't feel safe on the ship. Without sufficient mental preparation, there are not a few Imperial Army officers and soldiers on the transport ship who are paralyzed with fear.

Hu Keqili has seen this kind of thing before. Many of those people were elites on the battlefield, killing people like crazy. They were also frightened and speechless for a long time. It had nothing to do with people's courage. But the ability to withstand sudden outbreaks is a human instinctive reaction! Returning to his cabin, Hu Keqili lay on the boat and could feel that the flagship of the Imperial Navy was moving in a certain direction.

The situation in Central Europe Barro is very strange now. The Kingdom of Rila and the Kingdom of Biang are fighting bloody battles in the Sun Fortress, but what really attracts the attention of the entire Europe Barro is the arrival of Imperial Minister of State Hu Keqili in Central Europe Barro. At the port of Fort Locke, all the countries knew that when the Imperial Minister of State appeared in front of everyone again, it was this At the moment when the war has been finalized, both the Riela and the Biang people have already exerted all their strength, striving to hold the crucial Sun Fortress in their hands before the empire, the referee, blows the whistle, and in all The Zambian sea area in the eastern part of the inland sea that no one has noticed is the real goal of His Majesty the Emperor.

The mouth of the great river Hérault!

This is the continuation of the Southern War, or it can be said to be the continuation of the Empire's counterattack. At the beginning, three groups attacked the Empire, and one group was the noble group in the northern part of Fezer. They crazily moved south from the plateau in the north of Fezer, and almost penetrated the western part of Fezer in one go. In the end, His Majesty the Emperor single-handedly killed him, not only completely annihilating the stubborn Feize noble group, but Condensation syndrome, and the northern plateau of Feize was included in the empire's territory. The other way was the battle of the holy capital of the Order. The empire finally won a great victory. The 500,000 Martin Liya people were almost wiped out. Even the crown prince was captured by the empire. In the end This is all the way, Hérault. The Hérault royal family and the Hérault southern noble group stormed the capital of Hérault.

Although the southern princes of Hérault performed mediocrely in frontal attacks, they made many small moves behind the scenes. They even took advantage of the convenient conditions of the Hérault river to continuously send small groups of troops to bypass the obstruction of the capital of Hérault and follow the great river. Heading north, after arriving at the estuary, they dispersed into these islands, and then used these islands to harass the imperial merchant fleets traveling along the way, in order to contain the empire's small military force in the north of Hérault. After more than two months, the detective Check, the Imperial Navy has already figured out these islands. To be precise, most of them are extensions of reefs and continental shelves. Some islands have dense forests and very developed underground caves. Pirates sent by the princes from the south of Eero On these islands, in the emperor's plan, if he wanted to enter the Errone River, these miscellaneous fish from the southern princes of the Errone must be cleared away. The largest island among them, Cassi Island, is undoubtedly the focus of this battle. most important

"It is currently certain that there are at least 1,500 Elo people on Cassi Island, accounting for more than half of these Elo pirates."

Under the warm sunshine in May, several Hérault pirates lazily watched on the beach. Looking at the surrounding sea from time to time, these Eero pirates were ready to defend against the Imperial Navy. They dug a large number of underground caves, opened underground tunnels, and stored a large amount of supplies and bows and arrows. Originally, the Eero pirates thought that the Empire The Navy would attack them in winter, because the environment is the worst in winter, but unexpectedly, the Imperial Navy did not come in winter. In fact, the Imperial Navy did propose to His Majesty the Emperor to clean up these Eero pirates in winter, but the Emperor His Majesty stopped him

"Just let these Ero people spend the winter in the damp and gloomy underground. There are no merchant ships in winter anyway," the emperor's reply made Dostronkai somewhat incomprehensible, but soon he was convinced by the emperor's approach. Gao Ming was so impressed that he fell to the ground in admiration. These Eero pirates huddled in caves in the winter. In the cold and damp weather, many of them People fell ill one after another, and in the situation where there was no treatment on the island, it was a dead end. As a result, one winter passed, and the number of Eero pirates dropped from 6,000 at the beginning to 2,000 now. There are many people. Only the devil knows what happened to these Eero pirates on the island. Anyway, Dustronkai is not interested in knowing.

He just ordered the Imperial Navy to blow up the Eero pirate leader who was holding a huge hammer, standing on the coast and roaring hysterically, and the hammer hit the deep mud into a pulp. It is said that Eero on that island All the pirates died of illness, and the only one who survived was the pirate leader who had gone crazy.

At this moment, within the waters of Cassi Island, the waves are surging more violently. The sea water is impacting the large and small rocks, and is constantly lapping at the tidal flats on the shore, seeming to release all the excess energy. Ten minutes later, a long black line appeared on the distant horizon, where the water and the sky met. This long line looked very eye-catching under the clear sky. They are getting closer and bigger

"Dang Dang! The Imperial Navy is here again." The sound of the bell from the island's clock tower caused chaos on the island.'

"The Imperial Navy is coming, everyone enter the cave." I don't know who screamed, and all the Erro pirates disappeared immediately, as if they had the ability to disappear out of thin air. Their proficiency is enough to show that the Imperial Navy is no longer First time visiting here

At this moment, a total of twenty-seven imperial warships from the Fourth Squadron of the Imperial Navy appeared on the sea surface of Cassi Island. This time the Imperial Navy mobilized the size of four squadrons. Dustronkai divided this sea area into several Each area is responsible for a naval squadron. The fourth squadron is responsible for the location of Casey Island.

"I will definitely dig out all these rats that only know how to burrow into the ground!"

Chekov, the commander of the Fourth Squadron of the Imperial Navy, put down the telescope in his hand and stood on the bridge of a Dragon Tooth battleship. The waves under the hull rolled and hit the triangle under the bow of the ship, and quickly opened in three parts like a garland. , in the gun bays on the lower two floors, Thor's operator carefully measured the final Accurate shooting data, the Eero pirates on the island believed that the Imperial Navy could only shell, not land, and thought they could just hide in the cave. But this time it was different. The Marine Corps of the Imperial Navy also participated. During the cleaning operation, with the sound of rattling, the side of the hull was rotating. Making a heavy friction sound, giving people a feeling of death from hell, the rest of the Dragon Tooth warships also began to line up, preparing to launch a fierce bombardment of the island.

"All prepared"

Stopping quietly on the sea, the side baffles of the Imperial Dragon Tooth Battleship were opened in series, revealing the black metal muzzles of the gift packs. Behind the Dragon Tooth Battleship were forty large transport ships. On the transport ships, in addition to In addition to carrying a large amount of weapons and military supplies, it also carried the 2nd Imperial Marine Infantry Regiment, with a total number of more than 3,000 people.

Rumble... I saw only streaks of hot flames passing through the air on the sea surface, falling hard on the island, and bursting out with dazzling fire. Countless explosions were scattered, and for a moment, the ground shook, except for the dazzling light. There was also sludge flying all over the sky. In the smoke, the soft silt of the island kept turning up. After the explosion, deep circular pits were formed. The ground could be seen at the bottom of the pit, and countless black holes could be vaguely seen. Point was running on the ground after the explosion, and more people were rolling in the mound. They were the Bion pirates hiding in the cave. The Imperial Navy had come several times before, but they had never really used Thor 1.

But this time, no one expected that the Imperial Navy came for real this time. They were caught off guard, and many pirates and their people were trapped underneath by the collapsed cave.
