Chapter 661: Control of the Sea

For Noah's tree boat, it was just that a gunner noticed that there were two people standing on the enemy's watchtower, whose clothes were obviously different from those of the soldiers, so he fired a shot at the target.

With the help of the destructive long-rod bullet developed by the Machinery Bureau, the lethality of electromagnetic weapons has been qualitatively improved. Even if there are only two cannons on the tree boat, it is enough to make the Seven Stars troops within the range run away and lose the will to fight.

And the high priest Senya has only one idea at this moment.

Fortunately, they are allies of Jinxia.

The only regret is that the World Island did not take this step earlier.

If the elves had such weapons when facing the Natatin fleet, they would not be able to win the final victory, but at least they could bite off a few pieces of the empire's meat, and at the same time gain time for a large number of evacuations, and it would not be like now, with only a few tree boats successfully escaping and hundreds of thousands of compatriots becoming slaves of the empire.

In fact, during her stay in Jinxia, ​​the biggest feeling she had was not the weapons.

The impact of thoughts is stronger than any physical object.

For example, the contradiction between culture and customs - it's not that the people here have no prejudice against elves. Even she has heard of the long-eared monster, but in the research room of the mechanical department or the school established by the affairs bureau, similar statements have disappeared completely. They do not hide their interest in foreign things and are curious about all unknown problems.

This attitude is completely different from the closed World Island in the past.

Even if someone occasionally looks to a place farther away from the island, the news he brings back will not attract much attention from the tribe.

It is this difference that makes the time of the World Island seem to have stagnated.

One proof is that the plants and spirit tree seeds that have been used for hundreds of years have been developed one after another in Jinxia for more uses, sometimes even making the high priest feel that the Jinxia people know the secrets of the tree boat better than the elves.

It has to be admitted that this idea will make some conservative tribesmen subconsciously resist.

After all, the tree boat is everything they have.

If even this is lost, the islanders will have nothing.

The only problem is that Noah and the Silver Star Tree Boat have gained too much from Jinxia.

Even the conservative representative Pang Ting couldn't say that he would voluntarily evacuate Jinxia City.

Or this was exactly what the man was trying to do.

Thinking of this, Senya shook her head with amusement, and then moved her eyes to Aili who was operating the cannon.

These young people were the fastest to integrate into the life of the mainland. Whenever the high priest saw their vigorous backs, he would feel sincerely gratified. The technology these tribesmen learned in the Machinery Bureau will surely support the future direction of the World Island. She believed that for Aili and others, the spirit tree core was no longer everything in their long life.

"Pay attention to the north, a fleet is approaching the tree boat!" The lookout suddenly issued a warning.

Everyone turned their heads to the north and saw several shuttle boats mixed with a dozen assault boats, sliding out from the hidden place and rushing towards the sea and sky line.

Not to mention the single-sail boats that can only carry two or three people. Their only function is to hit the tree boat and let the fire on the boat ignite the target. Even the shuttle boats used to carry soldiers were only thirty feet long and eight or nine feet wide. Although this small boat was fast, it had poor wave resistance and was not suitable for sailing in the deep sea. If Noah rashly approached the coast, their sudden attack might cause some trouble to the tree boat, but the fact that they attacked at this distance only showed that the Seven Stars had no other choice.

Electromagnetic guns were obviously not suitable for shooting at such a small boat moving at high speed.

Jinxia had other countermeasures for this situation.

When the enemy finally sailed five or six miles away from the tree boat against the waves, a slender figure shuttled through the clouds, and then the soldiers on the boat quickly discovered something abnormal.

The originally bulging sails deflated one by one, but the waves were still tirelessly pushing the boat to the shore.

At this time, many assault boats had already ignited the ignition materials on board, preparing for the final sprint.

What made them even more incredible was that the sea breeze did not really subside, and the ships behind were still sailing at full sail, not noticing the strange phenomenon ahead at all.

It was as if an invisible "abyss" appeared on the sea at this moment - it might be only five or six feet wide, but it had an infinite distance. The sea breeze could easily penetrate it, but there was not even a little wind in the abyss. It neither blocked the fish nor stopped the seabirds, but it was an insurmountable barrier for the ships sailing with the wind!

Soon, more ships entered this stagnant area.

Because of its larger size, the shuttle boat would continue to sail forward for a distance, while the assault boat in the front row had been pushed back by the waves and could not help but crash into the ship behind -

"Idiot, what the hell are you doing?"

"Get out of the way!"

"It's going to hit! Jump off the boat!"

Amidst the curses and exclamations, this chaotic fleet crashed into itself, and the fire on the assault boat quickly became uncontrollable, igniting the oil tanks and gunpowder while blowing the shuttle boat to pieces.

For a while, the sea was full of soldiers who fell into the water.

Those who were good at swimming could barely swim back to the shore, while those who were not so good sank directly into the sea.

The Seven Stars troops on land also witnessed the disastrous defeat of the ambush fleet. They have realized that the battle plan formulated above has no chance of being implemented at all, and all the teams active on the shore will become targets for the tree boat. This situation of passively taking the beating has caused the morale to fall into an irreversible collapse. No one cares about the mechanical beasts ambushing in the port anymore, and they all flee in all directions. The camp closest to the port is almost directly abandoned by the Seven Stars Army.

Noah's tree boat did not pursue further.

The instructions received by Yan Qing and others were very clear, that is, to seize the control of the sea, block the sea transportation of the Seven Stars, and minimize the pressure faced by the Shenzhou territory.

As for the troops that have gathered in Shangyuan City, they will be handed over to the main force of Jinxia to deal with.

After destroying the mechanical beasts one by one, Noah set sail again and headed north. In the next month, it will continue to cruise in the eastern waters of Yazhou and attack any Xu State ships that bypass from the north of the mainland. When the news of the sea ban is passed back to the Seven Stars Mansion, the other party should also be able to realize Jinxia's determination to preserve the Qi Kingdom.

Of course, it is impossible to dispel the Seven Stars' intentions by relying on a floating island alone. The other party can achieve the same goal by land, but the delay will take at least several months, and this vacancy is exactly what Jinxia wants to fight for - the whole bureau is waiting for Xia Fan's return, and more and more people are beginning to believe that as long as Xia Fan and Ning Wanjun are there, Jinxia will be invincible.

Even if the opponent is the Seven Stars Privy Council Mansion.

Sorry, I will update one more day today. It's miserable. After visiting relatives yesterday, I found that the air conditioner was broken. The room was like a steamer at night. I don't sleep well. I sweat all night. T.T I almost collapsed after dawn. Fortunately, I asked someone to fix it in the morning. I barely slept for two hours, otherwise I would have been lying in bed now. Air conditioning is worthy of being the best invention that changed the world!
