Who Are Three Hundred and Sixty-Eight
Just when this inconspicuous night attack on the Western Front was over, the sky was already bright, and on the battlefield of Pilipi Island, four super god puppets of Chris had joined the fight against the demons. in the battle.
Four god puppets lived up to expectations on the sea near Pilipi Island, and used magic attacks to suppress the demon fleet that was trying to land.
The third Chris puppet used fire magic to attack the fleet, and the fourth puppet entangled the demon general. The entire demon fleet has been passively beaten since then, unable to even retreat.
Blocked by Ireland Hill's fleet, more and more Air Hill Air Force bombers in the sky launched their attack. Soon most of the remaining battleships of the demon fleet were lost, and the demon fleet heading north was completely incapable of attacking.
Laurens stood on the bridge of the battleship Conquest, looking at the Alan Hill T800 puppet flying in the distance, looking at the dazzling magic, and for a while he was distracted.
The battleship under his feet was still firing non-stop. The 305mm main gun fired one after another, sending deadly shells into the middle of the chaotic demon fleet.
The Victory, which followed the battleship Conquer, and the other cruisers kept firing, and the shells flew out one after another, without a trace of pity.
"Report!" Just when Laurens was in a daze, an officer walked behind him and reported with regret: "Commander, the battleship Hero has lost all power and can no longer be repaired and stopped."
"A few minutes ago, the water entry was out of control, and the effort to release the water to balance the pouring angle of the battleship failed..." After the officer finished speaking, he stood there, waiting for Laurens' order.
Laurens was silent for a few seconds before giving the order: "Give up the rescue! Let all the sailors on the Hero be withdrawn! Then let the Hero sink by itself."
Although reluctant, the battleship Hero was beyond rescue. Rather than wasting time there and risking the lives of sailors, let's take a break and give up the battleship to save all the precious sailors.
The officer heard General Laurence's order, and immediately stood at attention and saluted, and turned to pass on the order issued by the flagship.
Laurens continued to look at the sea over there, watching the shells fired by his battleships land on those demon battleships that were too busy to take care of themselves.
At this moment, on the demon battleship in a dilemma, a demon commander looked up at the falling floating castle with despair in his eyes.
He entered this world from the eye of magic, and he came to the world thinking of conquering it. But now, he has to admit that it seems that it will take a long, long time to conquer this world.
"Steering! Avoid the impact! The falling of the floating castle into the sea will cause huge waves! Prepare for the impact!" He pressed his long sword and ordered his subordinates.
In the distance, the floating castle that had been damaged by the floating magic circle was exploding and disintegrating. Because of its own weight, countless stones began to collapse in the process of falling.
The magic castle, which has lost countless magic circles, can't bear its own weight at all. The buildings above are collapsing, and the once powerful magic cannons are also exploding and destroying in the collapse.
The demon soldiers in the castle are all fleeing, but they all know very well that they can't fly, no matter where they escape in the end, what awaits them is death and destruction.
They would sink to the bottom of the sea with the castle and drown there. And the nearby Pilipi Island is already a place they will never be able to reach.
A huge stone fell into the sea, and the provoked waves overturned a demon battleship that was on fire and had lost its power.
The demon battleship rolled over in the waves and then sank directly on the sea. Before the demon soldiers on the battleship could shout for help, they sank into the icy waters.
Only the bottom of a battleship remains, still exposed on the sea,
With the waves shaking a little bit. Soon, the bottom of the ship also disappeared into the sea, as if there was nothing here.
It's not that there are some demon soldiers who got ashore by chance. After all, when their battleship sank, they were already very close to the coastline.
These demon soldiers, who barely washed up on the beach, finally let the Marines take advantage of them. They eliminated about 150 demon soldiers, all of which came ashore in pieces. There were also bodies washed ashore and lined up along the shoreline.
Just these hundreds of soldiers have also excited the 1st Marine Division of Ireland Hill for a long time. They did wipe out all the enemy troops that landed, and they even wiped out all the other soldiers on the beach...
Under everyone's attention, and in the exclamations of many soldiers, the huge floating castle fell to the sea, and then was swallowed up by the sea.
When it was engulfed by the sea water, those magic energy liquids were still exploding, and the instability of magic energy was evident.
Most of the nearby warships were overturned and sank by the big waves caused by the crash of the fortress, and the rest did not know whether they were lucky or unlucky.
Although they were not immediately affected by the crashed castle, they still had to face the constant harassment and attacks of the Elan Hill navy.
Those cruisers with fast speed and a small gun caliber could not be scattered like a gangrene, the guns could not run away, and the guns could not be hit, causing the remaining demon officers and soldiers to collapse.
The demon commander who just ordered the turn, his battleship is in good condition. But he also knew that if he persisted here, he would be sunk by the opponent sooner or later.
Unfortunately, with his inferior wisdom, he couldn't think of a good plan to get rid of the unfavorable situation he was facing now.
...
At the same time, in the city of Serris, the distant capital of Alan Hill, in the castle of His Majesty the Emperor, a secretary handed Chris the latest report: "Your Majesty, I just got the news that many merchants are currently exchanging gold."
Ireland Hill began using paper money a few years ago, and some bonds circulated in the factory. These paper products are actually a kind of currency, a means of replacing metal currency such as gold coins and silver coins.
Having won numerous war benefits and a large amount of gold provided by countries such as Greiken, Ailan Hill has built up quite sufficient gold reserves.
Even so, however, it has not kept pace with the rate of deliberate inflation over the years. Ireland Hill now issues trillions of banknotes, but the currency that really has gold coin reserves is only one-tenth, or even one-twentieth, at most.
This situation is not a problem at all on the premise that the government has a good reputation and the war is very beneficial.
But once the war becomes passive and some people start exchanging gold coins on a large scale, serious problems will arise.
"How much?" Chris put down the summary report on the implementation progress of the "Left Hook Project", looked at the secretary who came to deliver the news, and asked, "Who are they?"
He asked a total of two questions. One question was to know how many gold coins were exchanged in this premeditated exchange.
The second question is interesting. He wants to know who, in such a situation of national crisis, has made small actions regardless of the righteousness.
The secretary uttered a number that reassured Chris a little, and began to read one name after another.
These names often appear in various radio reports, and some people have even been on TV. They are all very rich chaebols and staggering capitalists.
With the rise of the empire, these guys who invested capital in the early days have all received huge dividends, and the dividends are so much that it makes people jealous.
But it's a pity that these people started to become greedy, and even at this time, they were doing this kind of little tricks behind their backs-this made Chris very annoyed and even wanted to kill.
"Isn't there any one who got on the stage?" After the secretary read the names of the guys who exchanged gold coins, Chris was a little surprised.
In addition to the royal family, several large families at the top of the empire, such as the Long Tait family, did not make any moves in this exchange storm.
"Not a single one! Your Majesty! These big families are very honest, and most of them even donated a large amount of bonds from the empire, expressing their willingness to support His Majesty the Emperor and continue this war." The secretary quickly replied.
"Interesting! Really interesting!" Chris nodded, seemingly satisfied with the secretary's answer.
"I heard that Mr. Des has been very busy recently. He killed several important people in the family before he deterred the disobedient elders." The secretary saw that Chris's tone slowed down and guessed that His Majesty the Emperor seemed to be in a slightly better mood. Some, so he whispered another anecdote.
"Ha! This guy! It's really watertight." The frost on Chris's face gradually disappeared, and a smile appeared.
As the patriarch of the traditional aristocracy, he can use lynching to deal with matters within his own family. This is what the law expressly stipulated before, and will not be punished.
This is also the reason why Des finally became the owner of the house, able to deal with the disobedient old guys.
"It seems that these families that can stand for hundreds of years are not simple! They don't go into the water, it's interesting! It's really interesting." Chris muttered a few words, and then picked up the share he just put down. The battle report on the Western Front was read carefully.
The secretary also knew that His Majesty the Emperor no longer took this matter to heart. After all, without the support of those big and powerful families, these people would never be able to make trouble.
Therefore, he bowed slightly, not daring to disturb His Majesty's work, and quietly exited the office.
