Strange Star Witch

Chapter 328 An old friend from a foreign land

Ursula left in a hurry. Under the escort of the knight, she rushed to the flagship Cross Golden Anchor. The Cross Golden Anchor was the flagship of the earl. The flying flag had a golden anchor drawn on it, and there was a huge cross on the anchor rod.

She was so uneasy that the subordinates in the castle actually wanted to board the flagship, which proved that the butler Mr. Wenler believed that the situation was very dangerous. If the worst happened, the Cross Golden Anchor would take everyone away from the port.

When Ursula got on the flagship, she saw Butler Wenler already standing at the bow of the ship, and he was wearing knight's armor.

Butler Wenler is the strongest knight in the earldom besides the earl. He is the earl's viscount and a level 5 knight.

The earldom of Golden Anchor is very powerful, and now has three level 5 knights. The earl himself, the earl's equerry, and the earl's steward Mr. Wenler. The equine is responsible for commanding all the armies of the earldom, and the earl's rear area is responsible for

By the earl's most trusted butler, Wenler.

Butler Wenler will not interfere in the specific military affairs of the Royal Navy. He will only act as the strongest knight to defeat the enemy's strongest apostle when the time is right.

Seeing Butler Wenler standing at the bow of the ship, holding his helmet in his arms, Ursula felt much less panicked.

On the sea at this time, the navy of the Alchemy Alliance had completed the encirclement and sunk the Royal Navy reconnaissance ship patrolling the outer sea.

Ursula couldn't help but whisper: "Where is our speech spirit? Why didn't there be any warning?"

"The enemy's investment is very large, which obscures our divination."

A voice sounded next to Ursula. She recognized the owner of the voice and hurriedly saluted: "Good evening, Master Kedrick."

How can I have a good night tonight? Kedrick couldn't help but shake his head. Ursula is good at everything. She is a perfect and trustworthy family wizard, but she is a little dull.

Kedric is the fourth son of Count Pallu and is only 15 years old now. There is still one year left before he is eligible to leave the castle and become a junior officer in the Count's navy or marines.

"In a war of this scale, not even the spirit spirit can predict the outcome. The spirit spirit can divine the fate of a single person. When there are too many people, various accidents will always occur. For example, in the current naval battle, maybe a certain officer suddenly

With a sudden inspiration, you can make decisions that change the battlefield."

Facing Master Kedrick's judgment, Ursula nodded and agreed very much. The human brain is very wonderful and will always make unexpected decisions. When there are too many unexpected things, divination becomes difficult.

Reliable, only those with level 5 or above can make accurate divination for large-scale group events.

On the sea, more than 60 ships of the Alchemy Alliance are completing the encirclement. More than half of those ships are flying the flag of the United States of Elba, and less than half are flying the flag of the Carolingian Kingdom's Alchemy Council.

The enemy will definitely want to recapture Port Codor, and the Royal Navy has long expected this. If the Alchemy Council recaptures Port Codor, it can cut off Count Pallu's retreat and make that army completely alone. By then, Count Pallu will

Its defeat is only a matter of time.

However, the participation of the Carolingian Alchemy Council in the war exceeded the expectations of the Royal Navy. Unexpectedly, the Carolingian Alchemy Council entered the war at such an early time. Originally, as expected by the military, the Elba Constitutional Army was defeated on the front line.

When the time comes, the Carolingian Alchemy Council will join the war to help the Elba Alchemy Council.

Judging from this incident, the Carolingian Alchemy Council has been preparing for war for more than a day or two. They have long colluded with the Elba Alchemy Council and do not want this restoration trend to spread. Once Carloman XVI succeeds in his restoration

, the knights and nobles of other countries will not remain content.

Just as Kedrick kept thinking, a ship next to him suddenly moved forward and passed the Cross Golden Anchor.

Kedrick saw the man standing at the bow of the ship. It was his brother, Commodore Kaleb.

Seeing the knight's light shining on Caleb's body, seeing the loyal knight behind Caleb, and seeing the ship that belonged to Caleb, Kedrick felt envy deep in his eyes.

Who wouldn't envy such a scene? It is every knight's dream to launch a fearless charge against an enemy that seems invincible with his own loyal knight.

"Master Kedrick, you will become as heroic a knight as Master Caleb!"

Kedric wanted to say that Ursula's persuasion made him even more sad. It was really disappointing that his fate was so different just a few years later. The resources invested by the Earl's Castle on him would not exceed

One-fifth of the money invested in Caleb was the difference between the first and fourth heirs.

There is a protruding rocky reef on one side of Codor Port, with twenty coastal defense guns arranged on it. Those coastal defense guns once caused the Royal Navy to suffer a lot. Now when encountering the Alchemy Alliance, the Royal Navy's defensive strategy is the same.

In offshore battles, make full use of the advantages of coastal defense artillery.

Compared with the more than 60 ships of the Alchemy Alliance, the Royal Navy only has more than 40 ships, which loses a lot in terms of momentum. There is no way, no matter how much Carloman XVI attaches great importance to alchemical weapons, the ships they built

The number is also far different from that of the Alchemy Council.

Kedric frowned because he found that the enemy's ship arrangement was very cunning.

On the sea outside the port, two-thirds of the area was blocked by the navy of the Alchemy Alliance. Encircling Sanque and Yi, the enemy commander's tactical intention was very clear. What they wanted was the port, leaving a way for the Royal Navy in the port to escape.

Route to prevent people in the port from dying in desperate situations.

This is the best strategy when facing the knight. Choose an escape route for the knight and tell him clearly that you have every chance to escape.

As long as the thought of escaping arises deep in the knight's heart, the knight is no longer scary.

A weak knight, a knight who stares at the back, and a knight who is no longer determined to charge will definitely not be able to exert the strongest strength of the knight, let alone be promoted on the battlefield, and it is impossible to turn defeat into victory.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! For the knights and nobles, they must rely on the alchemists who join them to build alchemy ships or airships. There are alchemists who betray the parliament for money, but the number

There cannot be too many, so it is difficult to build knight's ships, the number of ships built is small, and the construction cost is also high.

The commander of the Royal Navy probably chose to abandon the port in order to preserve naval power and preserve precious alchemy ships.

The Alchemy Alliance divided the sea into three areas. The western third was completely empty, allowing the Royal Navy to escape. The middle area was filled with small and medium-sized ships, and the eastern third was filled with main ships.

Ten 120-gun ships are all deployed in the eastern waters.

The freed sea area is simply a naked temptation.

In silence, the ships on both sides got closer and closer, and soon entered the range of the artillery.

The cannons fell one after another, some hitting the sea water, stirring up handfuls of white water splashes, and some hitting the ship. The alchemical reinforcement array along the side of the ship lit up, resisting the power of the cannons.

The carrying capacity of the Alchemy Reinforcement Array has a limit. If it is hit by too many bullets, it will still be sunk. The Alchemy Alliance's Reinforcement Array can be repaired and adjusted at any time, but the Royal Navy does not have this advantage.

The intensity of the battle was extremely high, and the artillery on both sides was spitting out shells. The battle soon entered the bloodiest stage. Whoever could not bear the losses would lose first, without any fancy.

The Cross Golden Anchor is special. It is the earl's personal ship and does not belong to the Royal Navy. It is located behind all ships. Therefore, Cedric and Ursula cannot see the situation in front, and they are not qualified to enter the bridge.

.

The sound of cannonballs colliding with the hull was heard not far away, proving that the Royal Navy had been taking a beating.

From time to time, a ship would light up with a white light belonging to the knights. It was the captain leading the knights on the ship to charge the enemy, trying to use this method to disrupt the enemy's layout and force the enemy to reveal its flaws.

This kind of charge does not face the enemy directly, but is deflected at an angle. Like a cavalry charge, it performs angle-cutting tactics, rushes to the enemy's flank, and cuts off some enemy ships bit by bit from the flank.

The most spectacular moment will be when the commander finally gives the order for the entire army to charge. At that time, all the ships will move straight forward, smashing into the enemy like heavily armored knights on land, but this time has not yet come.

.

Half an hour into the battle, Kedrick saw one of his own ships being sunk. He held the railing tightly with both hands, wishing that he could not join the battlefield and beat the enemy hard for the Golden Anchor Flag.

Ursula also noticed Kedrick's abnormal behavior, and she said: "Master, don't worry, sooner or later you will go to the battlefield."

"How can we not be anxious? This is a life-and-death battle for Earl Golden Anchor Castle. If we lose, our two hundred years of accumulation will be ruined overnight..."

But both of them knew that Master Kedrick would only be doing a disservice if he went to a certain ship.

At this moment, Ursula suddenly said: "Master, I know there is a very powerful wizard! He has nothing to do now. How about we ask him for help?"

Kedric thought this was too ridiculous at first, but after a while, he suddenly became interested and his eyes became a little brighter.

Ursula proposed to leave the Cross Golden Anchor secretly, but Kedrick knew that the disappearance of the Earl's fourth son and the Earl's wizard at this time would definitely cause chaos for Butler Wenler.

Kedrick found Butler Wenler, and to Kedrick's surprise, Butler Wenler actually agreed to Kedrick's plan.

Seeing Butler Wenler's serious look, Kedrick knew that the situation must be more serious than what he saw.

In the distance, Rudolf searched for the airship of the Carolingian Alchemy Council in the distance.

Airships will be carried on large ships, just like aircraft carriers in previous generations, which can greatly increase the combat effectiveness of the ship. Unfortunately, there is no old acquaintance Silver Flame, which makes Rudolph a little disappointed.

But if you think about it carefully, it is impossible for the Silver Flame to come here. The Silver Flame belongs to the Army and is a land-based airship, not a carrier-based airship affiliated with the fleet. The carrier-based airship is much smaller, unlike the Silver Flame.

The Pangong Silver Flame still has to watch the Ruhr mining area, and it cannot be easily transferred here.

"Turn off the lights, don't let us stand out, it's not far from the port."

After turning off the lights, the three of them sat in the yard, quietly watching the war in the distance, as if they were watching a large-scale fireworks show. The three of them at the stone table became the most leisurely people in this world.

Rudolf said in the distant sound of artillery fire: "Why bother fighting and killing? They are all like us, sitting on chairs, blowing the sea breeze, and eating dried squid. How wonderful is this life?"

Cooper didn't like the taste of dried squid. He was about to say something, but suddenly he shrank his neck.

I don't know which gunner was so incompetent that he fired the cannonball in the direction of the wooden house far away from the port. The cannonball exploded several hundred meters away from the wooden house, which shocked Cooper.

Cooper looked at Rudolph, who was still calm and calm, and couldn't help but suggest: "How about we stop pretending? They are at war. Let's hide for a while."

Yin Fenggna looked at Rudolf with a smile. She also felt that it was not good for the three of them to sit around and watch such a cruel war.

Rudolf said: "Pretend again, pretend again...we have to let them see our leisurely appearance."

When the Royal Navy is at a great disadvantage, they will invest all their strength into the battlefield at all costs. Level 4 wizards like Rudolph will definitely be remembered by them, and then Rudolph can negotiate terms with them.

Compared with the relaxed appearance, Rudolph felt a little anxious in his heart.

The appearance of the Carolingian Navy gave Rudolf a hunch that something might go wrong with Viscount Paulus's promise to send him to the Southern Continent.

The Restoration Army itself may lose this war. If the port is captured by the Alchemist Alliance, Count Pallu, who has rushed inland, will not be able to protect himself, let alone Rudolf's affairs.

While throwing dried fish into his mouth, he was thinking about his own way out. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he couldn't be so rigid and should find a different approach.

Some people say that war is about strategy, tactics, and morale, but in the end, war is about productivity. The cavalry regiment is undoubtedly the most powerful presence on land, but on the sea and in the sky,

The alchemist's assembly line factory has more powerful productivity, much more powerful than the knight.

The Royal Navy, which was already at a disadvantage in terms of the number of ships, showed signs of fatigue one hour after the war started, and six ships had been sunk. At this time, the Alchemy Alliance only had two ships on fire, and they had more ships.

, the Alchemy Alliance is almost certain to win this battle.

Rudolph was worried about the Royal Navy. The new thigh he was holding was not thick enough...

Just as Rudolph was thinking about what to do, a group of cavalry suddenly came from a distance. The cavalry from the Earl's Castle escorted a person and ran towards the wooden house. The one at the front turned out to be Ursula who had left and returned.

After dismounting, Ursula ran towards Rudolph with an anxious look on her face.

"Mr. Rudolf, Butler Wenler said that he must mobilize all his strength! He asked me to talk to you. The Earl's Castle asks you to help the Royal Navy. The castle will remember your generous action!"

Of course Butler Wenler remembers that there are three level 4 heretics living here. If this force can be used, it will be a big improvement for the Royal Navy.

Seeing the three of them drinking wine, eating dried fish, and looking at the leisurely scene of the port in the yard, Ursula felt a breath in her heart. She felt very scared, afraid that the three of them would refuse. This is the story between Elba Knight and Knight Elba.

In a war between alchemists, how can we ask these three passers-by to fight for Count Pallu?

Rudolph turned his head and moved his gaze from the port battlefield to Ursula's face. Seeing Rudolph's empty eyes, Ursula rubbed the corners of her clothes at a loss, just like when she was a child and made her teacher unhappy.

"Ursula, you know us to some extent, how can you make such a request?"

"Huh?" Faced with Rudolph's questioning, Ursula was even more at a loss.

"The three of us are all Carolingians. Is it possible for you to ask us three Carolingians to fight against the Carolingians for your count?"

"Mr. Rudolf!" Ursula almost cried: "I heard from Viscount Paulus that you and your friends had to flee the Carolingian Kingdom after being wanted by the Carolingian Alchemy Council...

·”

"We are only wanted by the Alchemy Council, not by the Carolingian Kingdom.

How could I not be excited to see the familiar Carolingian flag again at the southern tip of this distant continent?

How could I not be excited to hear the familiar accent of my hometown in this strange seaside port?

Those on board the Carolingian ships are our old friends from a foreign land! They are our dearest relatives and friends!"

Rudolf said with an unusual atmosphere:

"Go! Add! Money!"

"Ah?" Ursula didn't react for a moment. Mr. Rudolph's face was filled with anger. Did he agree or not?
