Chapter 104: One Thousand Five Hundred and Twenty-One

AD 1521 is destined to be an extraordinary year. In early January, the Anget Kingdom Navy intercepted a passenger ship belonging to the Bald Eagle Kingdom at sea in the name of smuggling prohibited materials. However, the passenger ship refused the Anget Kingdom Navy's request. Searches and conflicts ensued, and then the passenger ship mysteriously sank, with no survivors on board.

The news spread back to the Bald Eagle Kingdom, and people were furious. People from all walks of life demanded that the Anjiet Kingdom hand over the murderer. At the request of the people, the Parliament of the Bald Eagle Kingdom lodged a stern protest to the Anjiet Kingdom in the name of the kingdom, demanding that the Anjiet Kingdom must In addition to handing over the navy that committed unforgivable crimes and making corresponding compensation, the royal family of the Anget Kingdom must publicly apologize to all Bald Eagle Kingdom citizens who were killed on behalf of the Anget Kingdom.

Naturally, the Anget Kingdom would not agree to such an unreasonable request from the Bald Eagle Kingdom. Even at the Kingdom Council, the current king of Anget, Willen V, directly threw the letter to the ground, and his attitude was clearly expressed. undoubtedly.

When things have developed to this point, what is left is a war of words between the two countries. After all, this matter is not big or small, but what people did not expect was that the war suddenly broke out.

In early February, the Black Eagle Fleet, the ace fleet of the Bald Eagle Kingdom, suddenly appeared in Fibrik, the seaport city of the Kingdom of Anget. This caused great panic in the Kingdom of Anget. However, unexpectedly, the Black Hawk Fleet did not respond. Fibrik launched a surprise attack, which gave the Anget Kingdom time to react.

Faced with this situation, the Kingdom of Anjet, on the one hand, condemned the invasion of the Bald Eagle Kingdom, and on the other hand, urgently mobilized the victory fleet to fight against the Black Eagle.

The Anget Kingdom is a new kingdom, and its overall national strength is naturally inferior to that of an established power like the Bald Eagle Kingdom. However, due to the kingdom's national policy of focusing on the ocean, Anget's naval power is not weak. Although it hastily faced the battle this time, , but everyone in the Anjiet Kingdom has enough confidence, because they have more troops than the Bald Eagle Kingdom.

In addition to factors such as time and location, the most important factors in current world naval warfare are the number of cannons, giant ships, and ships. In this regard, Anjiet, which has local advantages, occupies a strong position. They cannot imagine the possibility of losing.

The fact is as expected by the Anjiet Kingdom. After a period of entanglement, the Black Hawk Fleet lacked rear strength and gradually fell into a disadvantage. It was only a matter of time before it was defeated. However, at this time, a strange warship joined the battlefield. .

The entire body is made of steel. Ordinary cannonballs falling on it cannot cause effective damage at all. The number of artillery is far less than that of regular warships, but the caliber is huge. As long as it hits, one shot is enough to cause a devastating blow to the sail warship.

Under such circumstances, a war began between the advanced and the lagging, adults beating children. Facing the indestructible ironclad, the victorious fleet of the Kingdom of Anget could do nothing but pray, and even escape. Compared with the ironclad, Their speed is too slow.

The war came to an end under the afterglow of the setting sun, leaving only a fragment of limbs. The news spread back to the country, and everyone in the Anjiet Kingdom, from the king to the common people, lost their voices. Since then, the Bald Eagle Kingdom's Pioneer ironclad has A new name, Burder, buries not only the victorious fleet of the Anget Kingdom, but also an era, an era of sailing battleships.

After the naval battle, the Bald Eagle Kingdom did not stop there. Instead, it quickly captured Fibrik and occupied the important seaport of the Anjiet Kingdom. It used it as a bridgehead to launch an attack on the Anjiet Kingdom. , for a time the cloud of war completely enveloped the Kingdom of Anjiet.

In the same month of the same year, the Bolt people of the Free Federation declared independence and broke away from the Free Federation.

Due to the sudden incident and the Bolt people's long-term planning, the federation was caught off guard. In just ten days, it completely lost control of Cotea State, and the land equivalent to one-tenth of the federation fell completely to the Bolts. in the hands of the Celtic people.

After taking over Cotea State,

In order to prepare for the federal counterattack, the Bolt people gathered heavy troops on the border and established a strict defense system.

With the support of fortifications and the support of external forces, although the overall strength of the Bolts is far inferior to that of the Federation, the Federation will be unable to do anything to them in a short period of time. As time goes by, other kingdoms may not be able to react if they react. If they step in, the Free Federation may compromise and recognize their independence for the sake of the overall situation.

The independence incident of the Bolt people attracted widespread attention, and many people were waiting for the federal response to see if there was any benefit to be gained. Shortly after the incident, the Free Federation mobilized troops from two nearby states to attack Cotea State. The attack was launched with an extremely decisive attitude, but the strength of the Bolt people was not weak. The emergency troops from the two states were unable to tear apart their defense line. For a while, the war entered a stalemate stage.

As news of the unsatisfactory war spread, people inside and outside the Federation were restless. A secret force set out from the base with the goal of Kotea State.

In the early morning hours of late February, a force known as the Mecha Knights launched an attack on the Bolt defense lines.

With terrifying power, fast speed, and invulnerable bodies, fifty five-meter-tall steel monsters carried a hail of bullets in the early hours of that morning, tearing apart the Bolt people's carefully built defense line, opening a gap for the follow-up troops, that is, On this day, the major forces in the Old Continent saw the terror of this mecha monster.

With the Mecha Knights opening the way, the Free Federation soldiers were invincible, and the massive Bolt independence movement was quickly wiped out. For a time, the land of Kotea State was stained red with blood.

And when the old continent was turbulent, an unexpected person suddenly came to Sean.

"Master Holkins, long time no see."

Lord's Mansion, small garden, where Sean and Holkins, who suddenly visited, were sipping black tea.

"Long time no see, Baron Sean. I hope you won't feel presumptuous during this visit."

He picked up the tea cup and took a sip. There was no ups and downs in Holkins' gray pupils.

"There, I have wanted to communicate with you, Master, for a long time. Why do I feel presumptuous?"

With a smile on his lips, Sean spoke slowly. What he said was true. He was still very interested in Holkins, a fourth-level wizard with a terrifying witchcraft killing move.

"This is natural. There are too few wizards in this era."

Speaking of this, Holkins' face showed a trace of sigh and a trace of melancholy.

"But before that, I have one more thing I want to tell you. It's very important, and it's also the main purpose of coming to you this time."

As soon as the words changed, Holkins turned his eyes to Sean, and upon hearing these words, the smile at the corner of Sean's mouth quietly subsided.
