Chapter 126 The Visiting Ironclad Ship

Memphitos, the port, the usually noisy place is much quieter today.

Soldiers stood with guns in hand, clearing a large open space on the dock like a marker.

Looking at the undulating sea with boredom, Brigadier General Moser, who was in charge of the city guard, had a bad look on his face.

Today is the day when the Bald Eagle Kingdom’s fleet arrives in Memphitos for a visit, and he is here to greet them. Although the Kingdom of Sutilt and the Kingdom of Bald Eagle have not been happy due to maritime affairs over the years, both parties are Civilized people should still have due etiquette.

There is no doubt that this is not a good job. Thinking about the faces of those Bald Eagle people later, Moser felt unhappy. The purpose of this visit to the Bald Eagle Kingdom is mainly to exchange naval issues. It stands to reason that in The people waiting here should have been from the Navy, but Commodore Neo Rommel of the Storm Fleet actually fell ill at this time.

A third-level transcendent actually got sick when he said he was sick, and he really dared to say it. Of course, what made Moser the most helpless was that there were still people who "believed it." There was only one naval officer with the rank of Commodore Memphitos. Neo Rommel was ill but the others were somewhat unqualified, so in the end the job fell to Moser, who was also a brigadier general.

At the beginning of 1521, the Bald Eagle Kingdom and the Anjet Kingdom started a local war. The Bald Eagle Kingdom's iron-clad ships showed great glory. The final war ended with the Anjet Kingdom being defeated and ceding territory to pay compensation. At the same time, the Bald Eagle Kingdom started a large-scale shipbuilding project. According to the plan, many shipyards started working at the same time to build a usable number of ironclad ships as quickly as possible to completely replace the sail warships and build a new fleet.

With strength comes ambition. In order to obtain greater benefits at sea and in the New World, the Bald Eagle Kingdom sent an armored fleet to the New World in the name of cruise, numbered 6, and codenamed Red Eagle.

After the Red Eagle Fleet arrived in the New World, it visited the pioneering lands of other kingdoms in the name of exchange. However, the exchange was only in name. Showing its powerful force and deterring other kingdoms was the real purpose, and this naturally included those who had been with them all these years. The Kingdom of Sutilt is not easy to deal with.

"Commodore, the people from the Red Eagle Fleet should have arrived according to the time they informed. Why haven't they shown up yet?"

After looking at the pocket watch in his hand, an adjutant beside Moser spoke.

"Just wait, maybe someone else is fishing at sea at this time."

After glancing at the sun, Moser closed his eyes again and sat on the armchair, waiting patiently.

Although he is an army officer, he still knows very well about the new fleet of the Bald Eagle Kingdom that has been rumored in the New and Old Worlds during this period. Compared with the Iron Armored Fleet of the Bald Eagle Kingdom, the mainstream is still the Sutilt sailing battleship. We are obviously at a disadvantage in the navy. Under such circumstances, we must endure whatever we can tolerate. There is nothing good to say about this.

Oma, the ironclad ship of the Bald Eagle Kingdom visiting Memphitos, finally appeared at the port of Memphitos when the sun was faltering and Moser, who had always been very patient, couldn't bear it.

The roaring sound continued, like the breathing of a giant beast. It was the sound of a steam engine rotating. Black smoke columns rose straight up. It looked a bit ugly, but in the context of the times, it was a magnificent sight.

Looking at this giant ship made of steel and with a ferocious muzzle, Memphitos, from the soldiers to the officers, couldn't help but marvel, and then there was endless silence, because such a war monster did not belong to their country.

"Let's go and greet him. We still need to do some face-saving work."

Breaking the silence and standing up, Moser took the lead and walked towards the berth.

"Brigadier, something seems wrong."

Arriving at the seaside, the figure of the Oma was clearly visible, and the adjutant beside Moser noticed something was wrong.

Hearing this,

Moser didn't answer, his brows furrowed slightly, and he also noticed something was wrong.

According to common sense, after entering the port, the ship should start to slow down and then dock slowly, but the Bald Eagle Kingdom's Oma ironclad did not, and its speed did not slow down at all compared to before.

"Everyone immediately retreats."

After getting closer and seeing some scenes on the ship clearly with his extraordinary eyesight, Moser's expression changed and he issued an order for everyone to retreat.

Although others had some doubts in their minds, they were surrounded by soldiers. No one dared to disobey Moser's order and quickly evacuated from the seaside. Then under their puzzled and shocked eyes, the Bald Eagle Kingdom's ironclad Oma The ship hit the port hard at an extremely fast speed.

Bang, a huge collision sound was heard, and then black smoke and flames began to interweave. However, the ironclad ship was indeed an ironclad ship. Even in this case, it was only partially damaged. Although it looked a bit serious, it actually did not affect it. its normal operation.

"Brigadier General, what is going on?"

Seeing such a scene, Moser's adjutant could not suppress his inner shock. He thought about many possibilities, but he did not expect that the menacing Bald Eagle Kingdom's armored ship would appear in such a way.

"It's troublesome."

With a sigh, Moser's face turned ugly. The Oma was filled with black smoke, and their current location was a bit far away, so most people couldn't see the scene on the ship clearly, but as a transcendent, Moser But you can see it very clearly.

"Go and ask the count to come."

"Yes, Brigadier."

Seeing Moser's gloomy expression, the adjutant did not dare to hesitate and immediately turned around and left.

At night, the port is brightly lit.

A large number of soldiers surrounded the port, and no one except official people could get close to it at this time.

The Oma docked quietly on the shore, like a sleeping giant. After a simple rescue, the fire caused by the impact on the Oma had been extinguished. At this moment, all the top dignitaries of Memphitos boarded This ironclad ship included Commodore Neo Rommel, who had previously claimed to be ill.

"What exactly is going on?"

Looking at the scene on the armored ship, some nobles couldn't help but cover their mouths and noses with handkerchiefs to prevent them from spitting out. You must know that the nobles who choose to explore the New World in this era have courage regardless of their actual abilities. Ordinary things don't scare them at all.

"Is there any result?"

Standing on the bow of the ship, turning a blind eye to the blood on the ground, Asim looked calm.

"Your Majesty, according to our tests, the time of death of these people should be one day ago. The cause of death is the same. All the people on the ship were beheaded, without exception, but..."

Speaking of this, the officer in charge of surveying the site hesitated.

"explain."

Eyes lowered, Asim's voice was full of doubt.

"It's just that the blood of all the deceased has not solidified. It is still seeping out slowly so far, which is contrary to the time of death we previously derived."

Without daring to hesitate, the clerk immediately revealed a strange discovery.

Hearing this, Asim didn't feel much surprised. This matter seemed to be contrary to common sense, but there were some methods in the extraordinary world that could completely create a similar scene.

"Is that just this? Are there any other discoveries? For example, the traces left by the murderer."

"No, no, Earl, it's strange. We checked back and forth several times and didn't find any traces of the murderer."

As he spoke, beads of sweat broke out on the clerk's forehead.

"I understand, bring someone with you to check it carefully."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Without embarrassing the clerk, Asim asked him to check it again to make sure there were no mistakes.

"Lord Earl, I'm afraid there will be some trouble this time."

At some point, Neo Rommel, who had some gray hair but still walked like a lion, came to Asim's side.

"Yeah, there's going to be some trouble."

Looking far away, looking at the dim sea, Asim's voice was a little erratic.
