Steel, Guns, and the Industrial Party that Traveled to Another World
Chapter 732 Formal Intervention
Many times, the development of things is unexpected, from the fate of a person to the changes in history.
At the most desperate moment of Niceburg, the residents in the city had already planned to either perish together with the enemy or live as slaves. However, at this time, it seemed that the prayers of the people in the church were finally heard by the Lord of Light. He stretched out a big hand from the sky and slapped the enemy who was about to bring them destruction.
The scouts sent out of the city confirmed that the crusaders had retreated, and there were no traps around. Everyone in the city fell into an uncontrollable carnival.
The residents who had been hiding in the houses and shivering before rushed out, filling the streets and alleys, hugging and kissing each other, singing and dancing.
The lower-class civilians were extremely happy, but after a brief joy, the upper-level officials had to face the harsh reality.
Although the enemy has temporarily retreated, Niceburg is like a patient with a long illness, and does not have enough strength to pursue the victory. This victory is partly due to luck. Now their armed forces are in danger of protecting the city, let alone fighting far away from the city.
The enemy under the city wall has left, but the surrounding area is still under the control of the church army. The Horn Bay Alliance only got a chance to breathe when the noose was tightened the most.
How to seize this breathing opportunity?
The Council continued to inquire that the Guardians were reorganizing their troops and horses. With the help of the huge support of the Holy See, they will soon return to their previous state and make a comeback.
The Horn Bay Church and the Holy See that followed were too huge, and one or two setbacks were not enough to defeat their determination to eliminate heresy.
Sometimes, when a ray of hope comes but it is not seized, it is more painful than having no hope at all.
At this time, Lion Port sent people.
The messenger congratulated the Horn Bay Alliance for escaping the crisis of national extinction, but the next thing he proposed made the entire council boil - the civilian groups in Lion Port were willing to build a military force to assist the Horn Bay Alliance in fighting the Church.
It was simply a pie in the sky - because of the siege, the people in Niceburg did not know the recent series of events between the Crusaders and Lion Port.
Niceburg tacitly did not ask about the Marquis Paul Graman himself, and reached an alliance with the so-called Lion Port civilian groups.
Although the church's army retreated, their navy was still squatting outside the port of Niceburg. The first task was to lift the blockade and restore the sea route between the Horn Bay Alliance and the outside world.
The day after the alliance was reached, the Horn Bay Alliance Navy, which had been hiding in the port, launched an attack on the Crusaders' fleet.
Because the alliance navy was far from its heyday, the commander of the church navy first doubted the opponent's suicidal behavior, and then gladly accepted this challenge that he thought was beyond his ability.
The idiots on land were defeated, so the navy came to save face. The commander was ready to add a glorious chapter to his military career.
The navies of the Horn Bay Alliance and the Church were still equipped with galleys, using the combat methods handed down from ancient times, such as crossbow shooting, ramming, grappling, and finally boarding.
Just when the two sides were fighting fiercely, the Alda Navy came from the upwind direction.
Although the sailors below were fighting fiercely, the senior leaders of both fleets still had time to observe the Alda fleet. Neither the Horn Bay Alliance Navy nor the Church Navy had any experience of fighting with the Alda Navy.
The sailing ships were no strangers to the people of Horn Bay, but the neat formation of the fleet when sailing was still impressive, especially the castle-like giant ship in the queue, which was daunting.
The Alda fleet sailed towards the battlefield in a single line.
The commander of the Church Navy felt something was wrong. He instinctively felt that the newcomers were not friendly, so he immediately issued an order to allocate some ships to prepare for the response.
The sudden arrival of the fleet and the sudden order caused a certain degree of confusion to the church navy.
The allied navy knew that the Aldo people were here to help them fight, so they could continue to fight without distraction, and their morale was high because Lion Harbor kept its promise to come to help.
The artillery equipped on the Alda warships had a range and accuracy far exceeding the crossbows on the church warships, and could easily attack first where the enemy could not reach.
They opened fire, and in an instant huge smoke burst out from the Alda fleet, with the light of flames flashing in it.
Amidst the huge roars, the high-speed flying shells knocked open the hull of the church warships, and the bullets and flying wood chips mercilessly harvested the lives of the sailors.
The Alda fleet was really serious, and the church fleet was even more confused, and had to allocate more ships to deal with the new enemy.
Although the galleys were more flexible in small waters, the Alda fleet had its own mature experience in dealing with such ships.
First, they used their range advantage to cause heavy casualties to the rowers. The simple sails of the galleys, which only served as auxiliary power, could not support normal navigation, and then they could only be slaughtered.
The Alda Navy played to their usual training level. Under the command of the flagship "Sea Fortress", the ships moved forward in an orderly manner. Each warship fired in turns, volleys or batches under unified commands.
The sound of the artillery bombardment merged into a high-pitched death sonata, which caused a huge shock to the residents of Niceburg who were brave enough to watch the battle in the port.
As the strongest country in the Bay, the Bay Alliance has always been proud of its maritime power. Although the navy was at a disadvantage in the war with the church, it was not because the navy itself was weak, but because coastal cities fell into the hands of the enemy one after another, and the navy was weakened by the loss of replenishment.
But now it seems that a more powerful force has risen on the sea.
This fierce naval battle lasted until the afternoon and ended with the defeat and surrender of the church fleet.
No mistakes, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar, one look!
"Things are going better than expected! With the sea route, the alliance should be able to recover to some extent. I hope they still have gold coins in their treasury."
When the news reached Hydra, the capital of the Principality of Eaton, Marianna, who returned to the Bay again, breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank God!" Grand Duke Eteot Cabray laughed, "If the southern front is completely lost, we will also become a mess here."
"Don't be happy too soon." Marianna reminded him, "Although Edwin Cook is gone, there is still a Webster in the south, and the church's initial victory was brought by him. In addition, Giles's army has also entered the Horn Bay, and Eaton is the first to bear the brunt of it."
"You are right, we can't take it lightly." The Grand Duke regained his seriousness.
"Teacher, is the chaos of the church army outside the city of Niceburg related to you?" Helen asked in a low voice.
Half a month ago, when she and her husband were worried about the imminent fall of their allies in the south, Marianna suddenly appeared in Hydra.
When talking to her, her optimistic attitude towards the situation made Helen very confused, but a few days later, news came that the crusaders blew up the camp and retreated.
Mariana blinked mischievously, "It was originally a big oil pan, and I just flicked a small spark into it. Or... a catalyst, isn't it amazing? This is a new term I learned in Northwest Bay!"
Unlike her relaxed appearance, the red-haired lady had mixed feelings in her heart. Her son Paul had just fought a battle with the orcs in the north, and now he was facing the power of the Church in the corner bay.
A person with a pioneering and enterprising spirit will always face various problems. This is growth.
Mariana didn't know whether to be happy or worried for a while. The strength of the Church was much stronger than that of the orcs.
But she was more optimistic. The power of the Church spread across the continent and was supported by churches everywhere. But just like the relationship between the feudal lord and the vassal in the secular power system, the king of a country could not arbitrarily order those ministers who swore allegiance to him, let alone the Church and local churches whose dependence relationship was even weaker and the control was even more fragile.
Corner Bay was the starting point for the fall of the Holy See, but it was not the end. A greater blow to it was about to happen in the Gabela Empire.
