434 Approaching

On the Whitewater River shrouded in darkness, two large ships, which have been completely remodeled and look extremely strange, are sailing in the rolling waves with a speed and agility that are completely out of their size.

These are two large ships with a vague outline of a river sailing warship, but about one-third of the original wooden hull is covered with a layer of metal plates for reinforcement and magic, which were originally used as ship power. The sails of the ship were also removed, and a huge and sturdy metal bracket was installed on the base for fixing the mast, and a straight structure like a wing was extended to the top of the sides of the hull. The magic rune on the "wing" structure is in the night There is a glimmer of light in the middle, and it complements the magic spar lights all over the ship. Except for the particularly conspicuous "wing" structure called "Magic Array", the most conspicuous things on the two ships are It is the two huge magic devices installed on the deck.

Their basic outlines seem to be extra-large magic crystal railguns, but the "barrels" are not straight and parallel metal rails, but three alloy "beams" with elegant arcs arranged in the shape of "pins" when viewed from the front. The inside of the alloy beams is covered with magic patterns, and a transparent and slender artificial crystal is fixed in the center of the three alloy beams by some kind of mechanical locking device. The steel mechanism connects the entire "barrel" to the base.

The size of this device is almost twice that of the first-generation magic crystal railgun. Although according to the development law of general technological creations, after the technology matures, it must have room for improvement to optimize the structure and reduce the size, but it was born from its birth. Judging from the initial size, this must be a powerful thing.

The power ridges that extend from below the deck and are covered with magic lines, as well as the magic net runes that can be seen everywhere on the deck, and the amplifier group exposed at the back half of the weapon base, all emphasize this. The "power" of something.

Carrying such a heavy set of "reconstruction results", the two ships that were originally just inland wooden warships would naturally become bulky, but they sailed fast in the water, and it was still a night when clouds blocked the stars. Ships have almost no habit of "night sailing", and there are no other ships on the Baishui River. On the wide and clean river, the two warships galloped at a speed that would make any captain of this era stunned.

This is all because the waves of the White Water River are "pushing" the two boats forward.

The two warships sailed one after the other, and the originally calm Baishui River rolled up waves near the two ships. On the water between the waves, there was an elegant and almost dreamy figure that swiftly undulated between the foam and the water.

It was a girl with a beautiful fish tail. She shuttled through the water, jumping out of the water from time to time, dancing with the waves around her. Her fish tail beat the foam and was in sync with the waves next to her. She was like a spirit in the water. , It is said that the fairy in the river is like a fairy, playing with the whole Baishui River.

Byron came out of the cabin,

Breathing in the fresh and cool air on the Baishui River, he saw Tyre running through the waves, and couldn't help but underestimate it softly: "You seem more energetic when you swim in the water."

A footstep sounded from the side, and Gawain's voice sounded behind Byron: "That's because she has slept for two days and two nights before this, and if she doesn't wake up, I really want to suspect that this fish died in in the pool."

Byron turned around and saw that the lord in regular clothes was also looking at Heli Tyr's figure.

He bowed to Gao Wen: "Lord."

Gawain waved his hand and asked casually, "How is the situation on Philip's side?"

Byron shook his head: "The Rock Fortress sent an extraordinary team to sneak attack on the temporary camp, but the 'sneak attack plan' that the nobles can toss up is naive and ridiculous, except for the loss of manpower before the war, I am afraid it will not cause any damage."

Gawain was not surprised by this: "It's already an improvement that they can make a sneak attack. If it wasn't for those southern nobles who have been beaten by us and went to the rock fortress, I guess the orthodox knights in the fortress even harassed the sneak attack to destroy the camp. I can't think of a tactic like that."

"Yeah, those nobles finally learned to fight," Byron smacked his lips, and then sighed, "But that Philip may have to struggle for a while, and the 'aristocratic war' will never return, and chivalry is vulnerable. Category……"

Gawain turned his head and glanced at Byron, his tone was rather amused: "You know Philip quite well."

"Hey, we've been working together for six years - that kid is really talented, he became a full-fledged knight six years ago, I'm afraid he'll be able to reach the middle rank in two years, and maybe he will have the opportunity to challenge the high rank in this life... ..." Speaking of which, Byron couldn't help shaking his head, "It's a pity that my head is a bit numb, and I take things like knight stories and hero biographies as real. This is the first time I have seen someone after the age of seventeen. I also believe that knights can influence dragons with their faith."

He is a legendary hero himself, and Gao Wen, who has a lot of hero biographies on his body, is a little embarrassed: "Ahem, hero biographies are not necessarily all made up..."

"Ah—" Byron immediately became even more embarrassed. He scratched his hair nervously and apologetically, but he didn't know what to think of after that. The expression on his face gradually became weird, and he hesitated to speak. looks like.

Gawain reacted when he saw his appearance, and said with a sullen face: "Books like the more than eighty princesses are really made up."

"Cough, yes, it must be the same as what you said..." Byron coughed on the spot, and then changed the subject bluntly before the boss took a knife and cut people (mercenary thinking), "But then again, why don't you see Miss Amber? ?"

"She is seasick and won't be able to get up for a while," Gawain said casually, "that's why she was more excited than anyone else when she came out... I really don't know if she has the strength to go to the rock fortress to perform the mission after she reaches her destination. ."

"Is Miss Amber getting seasick?" Byron was a little surprised, "I thought she had no weakness in anything related to running..."

Gao Wen heard the words with disdain in his heart: there is no weakness yet, is there still little weakness in the shame of all things? Everyone knows the "weak mousetrap of the Director of Military Intelligence"...

At this time, Byron put away his joke and asked a question that he cared about: "Lord, I actually thought you were going to set out with Philip at first, but I didn't expect you to follow my 'second echelon'. "

In the eyes of most people - and in fact, the 1st and 2nd Combat Corps led by Philip are the frontal battlefield and the main force to attack the Rock Fortress, although the gate of the fortress may need to use the "calibrator" rainbow Light cannons came to pry open, but it was the army led by Philip who really attacked the fortress and wiped out the enemy’s living strength. Gawain rarely left the country for an expedition. Everyone thought he was going to set out with Philip, but no one thought of this old man The ancestors finally chose to go with Byron.

"You should know that although I went to the battlefield, I hoped that my appearance was just a symbolic meaning - the Cecil Combat Corps should have the ability to take down the fortress alone, and if it reaches a rock fortress, I must let me go out in person. The military commander wants to apologize to the people of Cecil," Gawain explained, "and I am more interested in new weapons and new technologies than the battle on Philip's side."

Byron couldn't help but turn his head and looked at the "calibrator" rainbow light cannon installed on the deck of the warship. Under the deep night, this powerful new weapon was crouching like a steel beast. On the deck, only a few runes indicating energy status shimmered on its base, like the eyes of a beast.

"A new weapon... This thing is really exciting."

"It's not as simple as being energetic," Gawain shook his head gently, his eyes on the rainbow light cannon, but the focus of his eyes seemed to be farther away, "Magic crystal rail cannon and rainbow light cannon...they are It can smash the castles of nobles, and it can tear apart the barriers of mages. The value of these two things is far from being reflected in one or two wars."

...

The team that was sent to attack the Cecil camp and destroyed the magic device all failed.

The bad news was sent to the rock fortress, but the Cecilian army continued to advance, and Sir Maryland's hair began to wear at a rate visible to the naked eye.

He faintly felt that his previous self-confidence... may be a little too sufficient.

From the mouths of those southern nobles, he did realize the great threat of the Cecil people, and based on the existing information, he worked out a plan that could weaken the Cecil army - this plan even went against the spirit of chivalry.

He knew that the "Skyfire Blast" of the Cecilians was thrown out with some kind of magic device, and the Cecilians needed to establish positions to make these magic devices exert their maximum power, so he sent someone to try to run them in those magic devices. destroy it before.

But those people encountered an extremely powerful army that seemed to be specially designed to fight the extraordinary, and almost all of them were wiped out.

A sneak attack by a small force was ineffective, and Sir Maryland had to start sending troops to disrupt the enemy—a second counter-chivalry plan.

As we all know, the army is the most fragile and chaotic in the process of marching. It is difficult for a large team to carry out effective command during the operation. When faced with chaos, the soldiers at the bottom tend to be in disarray, while the officers cannot be in the panic of the soldiers. Therefore, a sneak attack during the march of the enemy can often achieve miraculous results - and it is precisely because the chaotic army is very likely to cause accidental casualties of the nobles, so in traditional noble wars, "Harassment of troops on the move" has always been prohibited.

But since he had already made a sneak attack on the camp at night, Sir Maryland didn't care about breaking one more chivalrous spirit.

However, on the 56th Fire of Anzu 736, the Cecilians set foot on the narrow plain south of the rocky fortress as scheduled, and the troop sent by Sir Maryland to harass only escaped less than half of the people who returned.

Facing the stunned fortress general, the wounded knight who led the team shared his nightmare experience——

When he led the soldiers to the Cecil with great fanfare, the latter seemed to be ready as if they had seen them, and there was no panic at all. Those Cecil soldiers were like machines. Counterattack - first a kind of "skyfire explosion" carried by a single soldier, then throwing explosives and magic beams fired from gauntlets, and finally an enchanted sword that can easily split the armor of ordinary soldiers, each of which is powerful huge.

The so-called sudden attack seems to be taking the initiative to kill.

As it turns out, leaving the fort to attack—whatever the form—is never a good idea.

Sir Maryland could only sink his heart to the lowest level, quietly waiting for the arrival of Cecil.

On the 57th Fire of Anzu 736, the Cecilian flag appeared at the end of the plain opposite the rock fortress.
