The Ocean Lord Is Unusually Powerful
Chapter 274 Battle of Feiguang City, Holy Envoy
They lost most of their border control in one night, and were pushed to Feiguang City in just over a day.
As for the outcome of the decisive battle between the two sides' maritime fleets, you can probably guess it. The Royal Fleet of the Principality of Reinhardt was either annihilated or fell into a bad situation. The fleet of the Principality of Bath has gained control of the sea and can transport a large number of troops to the sea by sea. The coastal hinterland of the principality.
Otherwise, how could an organized Bath Kingdom army appear in this military camp far away from the border?
However, Ji Chen was a little puzzled. Although the military power of the Principality of Reinhardt was not as good as that of the Kingdom of Bath, it would not have been beaten to such a pulp.
There may be some unusual factors involved.
"Is there anything unusual or wrong with these Bath Kingdom troops?"
"What's wrong...", the officer thought for a while, "Probably their weapons and equipment have suddenly become much better. In the past, the quality of our principality's weapons and equipment was much better than theirs. Although the number of people was not as good as theirs, they could always occupy a large number of people in battles. There are many advantages.”
"But this time we found that the weapons and equipment of the soldiers of the Kingdom of Bath were completely different. They were better than ours. They even had many more expensive siege equipment, which caused us a lot of suffering."
Ji Chen frowned slightly. The weapons and equipment were much better?
He casually picked up a long sword belonging to a soldier from the Kingdom of Bath and examined it.
The quality is indeed good, even better than that produced by Ocean Crown, which has not yet absorbed the forging skills of the dwarves.
Obviously, the Kingdom of Bath probably received a large number of high-quality weapons and equipment from somewhere.
There are not only two parties involved in this war, there is also a third party hidden in the dark who is watching.
Suddenly, Ji Chen saw a rather secret mark on the sword's spine near the sword's tang under the sunlight.
A pair of weird, narrow eyes.
He remembered this mark, it was the Trickster!
Their masks all have narrow eye marks like this on their foreheads.
He also recalled what Tomodo said about the Trickster who was suspected of having obtained the Sun Furnace, the most precious treasure of the Black Iron Castle dwarves, which gave them the ability to mass-produce high-quality weapons and equipment.
It seems that these are what they provided, but I just don't know what role they played in the war between the two countries.
Ji Chen didn't think that these rats hiding in the sewers were simply providing weapons and equipment. They must have other agendas.
But what we need to do now is to first help the Principality of Reinhard to block the attack of the Kingdom of Bath. Otherwise, once the former is completely defeated, even with his help, there will be no way to save it.
After thinking about this, Ji Chen asked the officer.
"Where is the specific location of Feiguang City?"
"On the coast about fifty kilometers west of here, all you need to see is a towering mountain peak."
Ji Chen nodded and did not waste any time. With a wave of his hand, he led the army back to the sea and headed west quickly, just as fast as they came.
The officers and many soldiers from the Reinhardt Principality stared blankly at Ji Chen and the others as they left, looking at the mess on the ground with big eyes and small eyes.
Although they haven't fully figured out what's going on, they have a vague hunch that this powerful army that claims to have come from the ocean may be able to restore the increasingly sluggish war situation...
After leaving the military camp, Ji Chen and the others quickly returned to the place where they first arrived. This location happened to be the midpoint between the military camp and Feiguang City. If the dragon-blooded murloc who explored the way to the left at that time had traveled further, , maybe Feiguang City has been discovered.
Without stopping, the group of people set off on the road again, talking about the coast and headed towards Feiguang City.
The Champions of the Ocean team are basically members of the sea race, which gives them unparalleled mobility in the sea. Even the slowest among them, the Water Elf Archer and the Cancer Guard, are by no means comparable to the speed of humans.
Fifty kilometers only takes half an hour.
Ji Chen turned around a cliff and saw at a glance the mountain peaks standing in the distance, as well as the Feiguang City standing on the coast under the peaks.
Forty to fifty meters high, thick city walls engraved with defensive runes, towering arrow towers and spell towers lined with trees, more defensive equipment than the houses in the city, and tens of thousands of soldiers from the Principality of Reinhard stationed in the city , which makes this important military city that has stood here since a hundred years ago like a hedgehog, daring to prick any claws that come towards it.
However, this city, which was regarded as the light of the North Shore and considered a majestic city in the Northern Continent, was now shrouded in smoke and the sound of fighting.
Two days ago, when the entire border was in crisis and the land forces were advancing rapidly, the Eighth Fleet of the Kingdom of Bath took advantage of the Reinhardt Royal Fleet and the army's large forces to be involved, and carried a large number of heavy weapons and troops to surround this city. Nails generally stuck in cities along important routes of advance.
As long as the Principality of Reinhardt is captured before it can react, the Kingdom of Bath will firmly occupy the initiative in this war. It can advance directly towards the capital Trins City, and when it retreats, it can cooperate with the army to sweep away all obstacles along the coast. The power completely left the naval power of the Principality of Reinhard without a foothold.
time is life.
Therefore, Marshal Russell, the supreme commander of the blitzkrieg in the Kingdom of Bath, demanded that Qi Qi be captured within two days at all costs - even if only a ruins could be obtained in the end.
Therefore, the ferocious offensive against Feiguang City far exceeded everyone's imagination.
On the side facing the ocean, more than thirty warships of the Kingdom of Bath were lined up on the sea, with gunfire bursting from the decks and falling on the city walls like raindrops.
Behind these battleships were hundreds of troop carriers. Landing craft rushed out from the openings in the bows one after another, braving the counterattack artillery fire from Feiguang City to send heavily armed soldiers to the beach.
The alien behemoths, which were cultivated through special methods and covered with thick iron armor, stepped off the large landing ship. The rain of arrows thrown from the city could not cause any damage to them. They hit the iron armor with a clanking sound and were bounced away. Only a few Only heavy crossbows equipped with heavy armor-piercing arrows and alchemical cannons can cause effective damage to them.
The small alchemy cannon mounted on the back of the giant beast continued to fire, blasting the defensive runes engraved on the city wall to the ground.
Teams of soldiers followed closely behind the giant beast, cooperating in the attack according to infantry training siege drills.
In the sky, Pegasus knights and giant eagle shooters wearing rune light armor rely on their flexibility and maneuverability to avoid anti-aircraft fire with limited elevation angles, deftly find the gaps between the barrages, and drop missiles at valuable targets. Enchant arrows, drop alchemical bombs one after another, and use the powerful lethality to dive and kill the defenders on the city wall again and again, destroy the defense equipment, arrow towers and spell towers, and reduce resistance for the troops ascending the city.
Soldiers continued to lose their lives in artillery fire and attacks, including those from the Kingdom of Bath and the Principality of Reinhardt.
Such a magnificent battle was displayed in front of him without any concealment.
At this moment, Ji Chen felt as if he had gone to the scene of Blue Star's World War II landing battle. The alien behemoths were tanks and armored vehicles, the Pegasus Knight was a dive bomber, and the Giant Eagle Shooter was a fighter jet that rained bullets.
The arrow towers and spell towers at the top of the city were roaring machine guns and anti-aircraft guns that shot out rains of bullets.
As the largest coastal military city in the southwest of the Principality of Reinhardt, Feiguang City is naturally armed to the teeth, with sufficient ammunition reserves and troops, indestructible city walls and complete system of fortifications.
The Principality of Reinhardt naturally knew that after the war broke out outside Feguang City, it would inevitably be attacked by heavy troops. Therefore, after the conflict with the Kingdom of Bath, it further strengthened and consolidated the runes on the city wall so that it could be used under the scheduled firepower. They had to hold out for seven days under attack - enough time for them to send reinforcements from all over the place in time.
However, they never expected that the Kingdom of Bath would launch a blitzkrieg, using a lightning-fast offensive to catch the northern defense zone off guard. When they were in dire straits, they were unable to organize military support. In addition, they also used the advantage of naval power to implicate the royal family. The fleet and follow-up fleet dropped and landed a large number of troops on the east coast of Feiguang City, delaying or annihilating the troops of the Principality of Reinhardt who were originally preparing to set off for reinforcements in nearby areas. At the same time, a large number of annihilation squads were deployed to block Feiguang City. The communication between the area and other places has turned it into a dark shadow on the intelligence communication map, and released many confusing actions and targets.
The city of Trins was hesitant due to the lack of intelligence—could the Kingdom of Bath deliberately allow them to send a large number of troops for support, and then directly attack the capital from other places?
And this moment of hesitation will be the key to the Kingdom of Bath's victory in this war.
All these plans have resulted in Feiguang City now being isolated and helpless. It can only rely on the 30,000 soldiers stationed in the city and the defensive offensive to support it, struggling to counterattack the Bath Kingdom's troops, which are several times their number.
If that's all, there's still a chance of salvation.
As long as Tellings City responds in time and sends elite troops from the capital to rush thousands of miles to help, then this city with strong defense power may be able to hold on until the reinforcements arrive.
However, the army of the Kingdom of Bath came to the city and brought them a surprise.
The fleet, which was arranged in an orderly manner on the sea surface like a battle formation, suddenly stopped bombarding it for several hours. This sudden and silent sound made the entire sea surface seem quite silent.
Even the landing force that was charging like crazy stopped at this time, stopping three hundred meters away from the city wall. The heavy infantry, sharpshooters, elite mage group, and even the air force all rose to a higher level. Position, watching from the sky hundreds of meters away, all the soldiers who could still move received the order to stop. No matter how crazy the war madman was, he suppressed his restless heart at this moment and hid obediently behind the crawling aliens. Behind the beast.
Amidst the roar of artillery fire, the guards of the Reinhard Principality, who were relatively safe protected by the city wall engraved with runes, were stunned when they saw this scene. Even the dullest people realized that there seemed to be something big. coming soon.
I saw the huge flagship in the fleet slowly pointing its bow at Feiguang City. Following the roar of gears and machinery, an alchemical cannon made of obsidian rose from the bow deck.
Its color was so black that even sunlight was sucked in, and its thick muzzle, which could fit a person in, made all the soldiers on the ship pay high attention.
In the command room, Commander Shalifa of the Eighth Fleet of the Kingdom of Bath looked at the huge artillery that almost occupied the entire bow deck, with a hint of suspicion in his eyes.
"Are you sure this artillery can blast through the walls of Feiguang City?"
"Of course, Your Majesty Khalifa."
The person who spoke was a fraudster wearing a golden mask. The narrow eyes on the forehead of the mask were shining brightly. The loose gray robe could not hide his fiery body. Under the mask, a pair of golden eyes looked like the noble blood of the world. , releasing majesty all the time.
Even though Khalifa is a high-ranking noble of the Kingdom of Bath and the supreme commander of the Eighth Fleet, he is still full of jealousy towards this mysterious and unfathomable woman. If not for His Majesty's personal instructions, he would never have interacted with such a mysterious woman. Traveling alone.
He remembered that His Majesty once said that this woman seemed to be the holy envoy of the organization called the Deceiver?
"The Destroyer Cannon, which is only made and exists, used up enough resources to hollow out ten cities. As its name suggests, it can bring destruction and end. No city wall can block its bombardment."
"With its help, the walls of Feiguang City can be destroyed with just a few clicks. However, Sir Khalifa, you didn't seem to believe it before, so you didn't use it for a long time, leaving so many soldiers to be buried under the city in vain."
The Holy Envoy shook his head, as if feeling sorry for the soldiers who lost their lives.
Khalifa's eyes turned gloomy and he snorted coldly, "It's not your turn to teach you a lesson yet, Commander."
As he said this, he felt even more afraid of this so-called Holy Messenger and the organization known as the Fraudster.
I don’t know what kind of ecstasy they gave His Majesty to believe in them so much.
Not only were they allowed to participate in this honorable war, they were also allowed to live in the palace, enjoy a high status as advisors, and participate in all parts of the court proceedings.
And not long after these people appeared in the kingdom, His Majesty suddenly proposed to go to war with the Principality of Reinhard, fulfilling the long-cherished wish of the ancestors and the kingdom for hundreds of years.
Although this made all the hawks, including him, feel ecstatic, he always felt that something was wrong - it was too sudden.
After all, although the kingdom's military strength was much higher than that of Reinhardt at that time, the cost of destroying forces of the same level must be heavy and expensive. However, the emergence of the deceiver accelerated the process extremely quickly.
This organization that seemed to pop out of stone not only brought a large number of sophisticated weapons and equipment, ordnance, and alchemical equipment that could arm half of the kingdom, but also demonstrated extremely high alchemical technology, allowing the alchemical technology of the Kingdom of Bath to jump directly to the The first among the four countries along the northwest coast.
What's more, their intelligence capabilities are even more amazing. Information on military camps, military strength, and city fortifications in enemy countries flows in like water, filling them with the information they need to control the war.
At this point, the kingdom is like a fat man that is gaining weight rapidly - although there is inevitably some water in it, it really has the power to destroy a country.
Therefore, launching a war against Reinhard seemed to be the right time. Under this influence, doves turned into hawks, and hawks became even more hawkish.
Then, under a series of overt and covert promotions, the war finally came as scheduled.
