Tales of the Reincarnated Lord

Chapter 509: Meeting after the war

This great battle in the name of Cape Romani has aroused many controversies and debates in later generations. Many war scholars and experts in war history believe that the great battle of Romani marks the coming of the artillery era. The Norton family’s North Sea equipped with bronze artillery. The victory of the fleet over the invincible fleet of the business alliance means the end of the traditional close combat mode at sea. The victory of the Norton family has opened a new legendary chapter of dominating the ocean, which is a huge progress in the history of navigation.

However, more historical researchers and military enthusiasts, after conducting sand table deductions through replays and resetting the battlefield, believe that the battle of Romani is not as exaggerated as those war history experts say, and even the power of bronze artillery is not as good as that. As big as everyone imagined. Although the Invincible Fleet suffered a great loss after being attacked by night and three attacks along the way, they still had a numerical advantage in the final battle, and even took the initiative in the battlefield during the second half of the naval battle. Some sand table deductions also reached the conclusion that the Invincible Fleet ultimately won.

If the Invincible Fleet does not attack the three whaling ships in the center of the horizontal formation where Lorester is located, but assaults from both wings, separates and encircles, and uses the absolute superiority of the number of warships and high-end force to ignore the heavy casualties and losses, it is not impossible to defeat Norton family. As recognized by most scholars and experts, the invincible fleet's immediate command in this decisive battle is very wise and classic. Even under the attack of artillery and catapults, the front line was completely destroyed, but the follow-up fleet continued to assault with the fireboat was the best choice at the time.

On the contrary, the performance of the Norton family fleet was unsatisfactory. Even after eliminating the sixty or seventy large armed warships that the Invincible Fleet assaulted before, they relaxed their vigilance, believing that the enemy is likely to turn around and flee. As a result, they were beaten by the Invincible Fleet’s decisive assault. I was caught off guard. All sand table deductions and battle replays have shown that if the high-end force stormtrooper dispatched by the Invincible Fleet unluckyly chose the whaling ship where Lorester was located as the target, then this naval battle would have been won by the Norton family. Both lose out.

Just as recorded in the sand table deduction won by an Invincible Fleet, as long as the Invincible Fleet first wiped out the whaling ships on both sides of the line, drove the Norton family's large armed warships in the rear, and loaded the Norton family with only one bronze artillery. The medium-sized fast-armed warships were separated in the reef area, and they endured the shelling with no counterattack and consumed the ammunition of the 14 lightning warships led by Sun Barwood to force them to evacuate, and then used fire to destroy the horizontal formation where Lorester was located. Three whaling ships in the center. That invincible fleet can still win even with heavy losses.

The only prerequisite for this victory is that the Invincible Fleet knows that Lorist is on the front line to command the Romani naval battle and also knows which ship he is on. The situation in this naval battle at the time was that the Invincible Fleet didn't realize that Lorester, the newly promoted Juggernaut, would participate in this sea battle on the battleship. Isn't that a joke, which Juggernaut will personally fight the small soldiers? You must know that the sword saint is the highest-end force of a kingdom, whether it is land or sea battles, it would be too shameful and shameful to let the sword saint participate in these battles...

But Lorist didn't care, and he didn't take the identity of the Juggernaut seriously. What he cared more about was the identity of the Great Duke of the North and the Patriarch of Norton. It is not like the Storm Sword Master recruited by the Commercial Alliance, which is highly praised and worshipped. Therefore, the Invincible Fleet could only admit that it was unlucky when it encountered Lorester, who did not take the usual road.

Just like many war scholars, war history experts, military enthusiasts and historical researchers disputed the Romani naval battle for a long time, but they never disputed whether the surrender of the commander-in-chief of the Invincible Fleet Viscount Penelope was a problem. At most, he only complained that he was unlucky when he first came into the field and met the Juggernaut Lorist, the only choice was to catch it with his hands. As a result, his surrender led to the result that the Invincible Fleet no longer had the morale and courage to continue fighting, and the white flag was hung one after another under the supervision of the Norton Family Fleet.

"Why surrender?" Lorester was very annoyed at this time. Okay, the enemy rushed to his boat fiercely. He was wiping his fists and trying to kill the suffocated depression in his chest. The perfect implementation of long-range artillery bombardment of naval battles is uncomfortable for anyone to be commanded by himself. I wanted to kill the enemy, but who wanted the enemy to surrender? It was like a punch that had already been charged in the empty space, making Lorester very unhappy. You rushed to surrender in a hurry?

"I don't want to die..." Viscount Penelope said frankly, he would regret it too. Who would have thought that Lorester, the famous Blood Sword Saint, would become the target of the invincible fleet's high-end combat power assault. This is not a death hunt. ? He is a nobleman in the territory. Even if he is not the commander of the Invincible Fleet, he can still return to the family territory to sit back and enjoy his achievements and dominance. The good days are not yet enjoyed. The second-level great swordsman finds Lorester, the blood sword saint, to fight it is not an egg. Touch the stone? He is not that stupid, so stupid that the one has turned into a headless corpse on the deck...

Now, even if the invincible fleet is annihilated, it cannot be said that his commander is incompetent, and there is any problem with the command. On the contrary, Viscount Penelope is very capable of this naval battle. He was just having bad luck. When he ran into Lorester, the Juggernaut, his failure was excusable. You can't force people to die, and it's useless even if you die. The invincible fleet of more than 100 people has high-end combat power. In Lorist's eyes, it was just a few more swings of the sword, and there was no threat at all.

Lorester finally understood why the Second Highness, when they faced the Storm Sword Master, they were trembling, closing their eyes and waiting for death. Even the tyrannical Grand Duke Feisabrun turned into a tortoise. Mingzhe protects himself and dare not stand up to refute. On the contrary, as a traverser, Lorist had no fear and respect for the Sword Saint in his heart. He stepped forward without a clear understanding of his cultivation realm, and fought against the famous Storm Sword Saint for a long time. Saved the lives and reputations of the Second Royal Highness and the elite aristocrats of the Antinac Kingdom.

The performances of the Golden Swordsmen and the Great Swordsman of the Invincible Fleet were worse than those of the Second Highness. After learning the identity of Lorist, they saw Viscount Penelope and the others surrender first. These originally cowering like quails The golden swordsmen who gathered together seemed to have become hot potatoes. The throwing action was so fast. Before Lorist blinked his eyes, there were already a pile of magic soldiers on the deck. Sharp blade, these golden swordsmen followed Viscount Penelope to surrender, as if they rushed to the ship in Lorester just to surrender...

"Okay, I'll give you the noble treatment you want. You don't have to give me the sword. In addition, I allow you to bring two escorts with you. But now this naval battle can be stopped. Let all of you surrender. ." Lorist said with some excitement.

The eyes of Viscount Penelope just now made Lorester very uncomfortable, because those eyes contained a sense of helpless grievance after a child was bullied by an adult, as if Lorester shouldn’t have appeared in this naval battle. Think about it, too, Lorester, the sword saint, did seem to be going too far to deal with these golden swordsmen and great swordsmen.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Viscount Penelope bowed and thanked him gracefully, and then motioned to an attendant next to him to take out a gold-rimmed conch horn and blew it in his mouth. One long and three short, this means to stop resisting truce and strike. When the people on the surrounding Invincible Fleet warships looked over strangely, they happened to see another guard beside Viscount Penelope waving a white flag desperately.

Now that the commanding officers of the fleet have surrendered, the people underneath are still fighting hard. The warships of the invincible fleet have begun to hoist the white flag, and the rumble of shelling on the battlefield has gradually subsided. The sea battle between the Norton Family Fleet and the Invincible Fleet ended in just over two hours, and the Invincible Fleet was wiped out.

The personnel and warships who received the surrender of the Invincible Fleet naturally had the people below to do it, gather prisoners of war, rescue the wounded, salvage those who fell into the water, repair the damaged warships, count the casualties, and for a while, everyone in the Norton family fleet was busy. Not open. The 14 lightning warships led by Sun Barwood immediately replenished their ammunition reserves, and then eagerly rushed to take over the transport fleet of more than 800 commercial alliances.

It was busy until about five o'clock in the afternoon. Two medium-sized fast-armed warships suddenly separated from the fleet gathered by the Invincible Fleet. They took advantage of the change in wind direction to escape from the fleet and fled to the south with full sails. When the news was passed to Lorester When he was in front of him, Lorist realized that it was his old acquaintance, the eldest master of the Chickard Chamber of Commerce, Threatham, had escaped.

After listening to Viscount Penelope's introduction, Lorist realized that the inner wall of the battleship was filled with flour bags to cushion the bombardment of artillery and launching a desperate assault against the fireboat. It was the idea of ​​this young master Therryham. Genorio asked Lorist whether to send an order to Sunbawood to send a few lightning warships to pursue. Lorist thought about it and rejected this proposal, so let him go.

This young master Therryham is definitely a smart man. He knew that after the surrender, the Norton family fleet would send people to control all the large armed battleships at the first time, but would ignore those medium-sized fast armed battleships due to lack of sufficient manpower. So he took a few confidantes and escorts to hide on two medium-sized fast armed battleships. Then it waited until the lightning strike fleet went to accept the transport fleet, and then waited at about 5 o'clock in the afternoon for the wind direction to change and it was less than two hours from darkness before leaving the fleet and fled with full sails.

As expected by Master Thurleyham, even if Lorist knew that he had escaped the big fish, he would not be able to mobilize battleships and manpower to hunt down. First, no other ship could catch up with the medium-sized ship except for the lightning strike. The speed of fast-armed warships is that there are not enough warships and manpower. There were only 14 lightning warships, while the transport fleet had more than 800 ships. Lorist knew which one was lighter and which was heavy. The third is that it will be dark soon, and no one has the ability to hunt down two warships that have escaped for more than two hours in the dark sea.

Therefore, Lorist did not expect to hunt down the surrendered warship, except for instructing to strengthen the guard and supervise the surrendered warship. Eleven days later, the news of the invincible fleet and the transport fleet was wiped out. It was brought back to the territory of the Chickard Chamber of Commerce and spread to the southern countries of the mainland. It will take at least a month for the news to reach Morente City by land.

In the evening, Lorist hosted a banquet to entertain several high-ranking commanders and sword masters of the Invincible Fleet. During the meeting, Lorist always felt that the first middle-aged nobleman who gave up his sword and surrendered was somewhat Familiar, as if I had seen him somewhere, so I asked who he was.

The gorgeously dressed middle-aged aristocrat saw Lorist’s inquiry and quickly stood up and replied respectfully: "His Royal Highness Norton, I am Duke Rofi Fausta of the Kingdom of Chigda, a first-class swordsman."

Lorist was taken aback, only to feel a bang in his head, and bitter memories flooded into his heart. It turned out to be him, no wonder he always felt a little familiar. Back then, he stood by his bed and graciously advised him to leave the girl who was the deepest in his heart. At that time, he was defeated in front of him, and he could only watch him take away the girl he once loved the most... …Unexpectedly, after seventeen or eighteen years, things are different. When he appeared in front of him again, he became his prisoner.

"Why are you here?" Lorist is very strange. According to the intelligence, the Grand Duke Falsta has the power of regent in the Kingdom of Chigda, and even his orders are more effective in the Kingdom of Chigda than the King. , How could he appear in this voyage of the Invincible Fleet?

Although he was a little surprised at Lorist’s unobtrusive tone, Grand Duke Faustal answered honestly: "His Royal Highness Norton, the Commercial Alliance is an ally of the Chigda Kingdom, and the Chigda Kingdom will resist the South. The two powerful enemies of the Roman Empire and the Clamistan Khanate must be supported and helped by allies.

And I am the one in my country who insists on maintaining friendly relations with the business alliance. As an ally, I led the Firebird Legion of the Luo Fei family to the city of Morente. It’s just that we didn’t expect that we would meet Master Juggernaut here. The Firebird Legion of our Luo Fei family became prisoners of Grand Duke Norton before they got off the ship. This really embarrassed me..."

Grand Duke Fausta smiled bitterly and said that if the Firebird Legion was on the ship and caught a battle and became a prisoner of war without a fight, the news was passed back to the Kingdom of Qigeda to ensure that it would make people laugh off the teeth. It was known as the most elite of the Kingdom of Qigeda. The Legion, plus its own two thousand guards, is the military guarantee and fundamental of the Luo Fei family. The first thing I have to do now is to redeem myself and the Firebird Legion no matter what the cost, otherwise someone in the kingdom will have the idea of ​​killing the Luo Fei family, and the consequences will be disastrous...

"His Royal Highness Norton, please allow us the Luo Fei family to redeem myself and the Firebird Legion. As the Luo Fei family owner, I promise that I will not intervene in the war between your country and the business alliance in the future. Of course, the price of our redemption will also be Satisfaction with you." Grand Duke Fausta said sincerely.

"Don't worry about it." Lorist waved his hand and said lightly: "I'm glad to see you again, Grand Duke Faustal. By the way, is your wife, Windsor Bilena okay?"

Grand Duke Fausta was taken aback for a moment, looked at Lorester carefully, and asked suspiciously: "His Royal Highness Norton~www.wuxiaspot.com~ We have met? You, do you know my wife Winna?"

The corner of Lorist’s mouth cracked and eight white teeth were revealed: “Of course, it happened more than ten years ago. We met in Morient City. Back then, I was a student of Chenxi Academy. You seemed to Still a marquis. And your current wife, Miss Wenna, was still my girlfriend at that time. But you are the ultimate winner, and she followed you. But now, I am the winner, and you have become my prisoner. ..."

Grand Duke Fausta's face turned pale, and the surrounding Viscount Penelope was full of interest. They had forgotten their status as prisoners. Everyone likes to listen to gossip, especially legendary. Grand Duke Norton, the blood sword saint, turned out to have such an intersection with Grand Duke Faustal. It was too exciting, and it was enough to brag in the noble circle for several years after returning.

"You, it turned out to be you..." Grand Duke Falsta was trembling at this meeting, he had already forgotten Lorister for a long time. But now Lorist suddenly appeared in front of him as the Grand Duke of the North, the Patriarch of Norton, especially the word Juggernaut, which was simply two towering peaks that stood before him.

What the Grand Duke Faustal thought was: It's dead, it's all over...
