Fortunately, the colony still has the First Brigade of the Guards Infantry, so at least it can protect itself.

However, once the sea route is cut off, serious consequences will also occur.

Therefore, Earl Jeffreys sent several fast ships to deliver information, hoping that the Duke would send a fleet to station and guard against possible enemies.

It happened that the news from the southern nobles confirmed the strength of the white-skinned fleet, which further expanded his anxiety.

"Governor, we have lost another warship. Those white-skinned people have already found the entrance to the sea. If we hadn't built a battery position, their fleet would have rushed in." Captain George looked tired.

Since he was appointed as the governor's captain, he has been reused.

As a captain who switched from a knight, his professional ability has increased rapidly.

But no matter how strong his ability is, it is useless without ships.

The fleet under the Governor's Office is at most a small fleet. Except for a few warships made locally, the rest are inland ships built in the New World.

Facing the white-skinned warships, they are not at an advantage at all, but passively beaten.

Even if he tried his best to delay, the white-skinned guy was at the door.

Earl Jeffreys was mentally prepared for this. Frankly speaking, Captain George was quite capable, but now he was powerless.

"I have sent people to ask for help from the country. Now we must guard the estuary first. They dare not go ashore."

It was too aggrieved to defend.

The soldiers of the Northern Principality have not been so aggrieved for many years.

Captain George looked unwilling. He was still at ease before. At most, he would take up the knife.

But now the ships and cannons are rampant, and there is no one to stab with the knife. He was really unhappy.

On the other side, with the arrival of the supporting ships, the warships from the foreign United Kingdom finally determined the target.

"Captain, it's here. Look, there is a turret at the estuary."

On the warship, a group of officers held telescopes. At the estuary in front, a turret base firmly occupied a favorable position.

You can see the solid fortifications, leaving only the muzzles.

Obviously, the enemy is also an experienced regular army.

It is very disadvantageous to use the fleet to bombard such a permanent artillery position.

Especially when the enemy's artillery has a good range.

After all, what they lost may be sporadic artillery.

What they lost was a warship.

How can a wooden ship be as resistant to explosions as reinforced concrete?

Fortunately, it was just a turret.

"Try to shoot a round first."

The captain quickly ordered, and there was no reason to retreat without taking action.

The general's order was not only to find the enemy, but also to teach the other party a lesson.

Soon, the fleet that had gathered turned and began to bombard the turret on land.

The turret that had fought with the reconnaissance ship once before reacted quickly and started to counterattack directly.

For a while, the artillery flew together and the battle was in full swing.

However, the distance between the two sides was very far, so it could only be said that it looked lively.

After fighting for a long time, there was no actual loss.

Then as the fleet retreated, calm returned.

Through probing, the United Kingdom fleet roughly understood the distribution and intensity of the turret's firepower.

"Very rigorous, but not impossible to deal with.

The ocean belongs to the navy, and these backward monkeys can't understand that no matter how strong the artillery is, it is just a fixed target." The captain is very confident. He has encountered such enemies before.

When the navy cannot take the initiative, the artillery on land can only be passively beaten.

On the contrary, he has the dominant position in the war and can decide whether to fight or not at any time.

So, the warships of the United Kingdom waited for the main ships to support them while wandering in the nearby waters and blocking the coastline.

During this period, a reconnaissance ship of a southern noble was sunk.

But Baron Cullen was very happy. What was the matter with his ship being sunk? The arrogant northerners were severely taught a lesson.

He even said excitedly everywhere: "The barbarians in the north finally suffered a loss. Do you really think their cavalry is still useful at sea? They are still beaten like us."

Well, he has been suppressed by the white-skinned guys recently, which has made him a lot of criticism. Now there is an unlucky guy to share the firepower, which makes him feel much easier.

However, Baron Cullen's happiness could not affect the situation.

Knowing that the culprit had been found, the fleet of Gem Harbor came out in full force again.

After several small-scale replenishments, the United Kingdom invested more forces in the central part of the New World.

Although there was a lack of intelligence support, General Amanda's report still played a certain role.

They have been operating in the New World for a longer time, and actually have more powerful forces, but they are all concentrated on the north coast of the New World.

Now that a part of the fleet has been transferred here, it is already the limit.

When the mighty warships passed through the territory of the southern nobles, no one dared to show up.

General Amanda even ordered a round of bombardment, which completely dispelled the idea of ​​support from some radicals.

Then crossed the edge of the south coast and arrived at the colony of the Northern Principality.

Unlike the reconnaissance fleet, it has more than 50 warships, including one third-level sailing battleship, seven second-level battleships, and the rest are first-level sailing battleships.

According to the standards of the United Kingdom, this is a standard secondary fleet, a huge fleet that can undertake independent tasks and launch wars.

Even in the entire New World, there are only a few fleets of similar size.

General Amanda pointed at the fort on the shore with high spirits.

"I want it to disappear from my sight today."

So rows of warships lined up and began bombing.

Steel and concrete will also be stripped of their outer coats layer by layer by shells.

Although the fort tried its best to fight back, it was powerless to save the situation.

After sinking and damaging several warships, the entire fort was completely silent.

The United Kingdom fleet sent several small ships to land, confirmed that there was no threat, and began to enter the inland river in batches.

Going upstream, the first to bear the brunt was the Canard Silver Mine.

The main force of the First Brigade of the Guards Infantry deployed defenses on land early, and several inland ports were completely abandoned.

The United Kingdom fleet bombed all the way and destroyed all the ports that could be seen.

Black withdrew some miners with an ugly face. The silver mine was too close to the inland river and was no longer safe.

At the same time, Lawrence trudged all the way and finally approached Canard.

When resupplying at the last port, he just received a letter for help from Earl Jeffreys.

"Have the white guys found the colony?"

Lawrence felt bad. If the colony was destroyed right after he took office, wouldn't he become a joke as a commander?

Anxiously waiting for the supply to be completed, Lawrence hurriedly set off.

"I hope I can make it in time." He prayed.
