Chapter 887 Attack

Solomon Strait.

As a traffic artery, a large number of ships from east and west are berthed on the pier here at all times.

The towering turrets and those permanent defensive fortifications added a bit of unbreakable awe-inspiring majesty to the place, giving residents and merchants a great sense of security.

But in the past few days, the local governor, Viscount Quia from Insman, seemed very disturbed.

Undoubtedly, he also knew about the dispatch of the main force of the navy to fight the pirates.

In fact, in order to complete his work, Admiral Ferry not only transferred Major General Jackson away, but also took away all the steam ironclad ships.

As a result, the naval strength that Solomon was guarding at this time fell into the lowest ebb.

Of course, in the eyes of Admiral Feili, there are fortifications and some original sailing ships, and the main force of pirates is closely watched by him, so there will be absolutely no surprises.

In most cases, that should be the case.

But the reason why life is so interesting is because unexpected things often happen, although Viscount Guia definitely doesn't want to see it.

On the hillside next to the port, in the main mansion.

Elizabeth was wearing a lady's dress, holding a delicate bone china teacup, and there were some freshly baked honey and cream pastries in front of her, exuding a sweet and seductive atmosphere.

"Thank you goddess... I'm back!"

She took a sip of black tea slowly, the warm and sweet taste finally convinced her that she finally got rid of the pirate's nightmare and successfully returned to her relatives.

"Miss, the master hopes that you can put on a fancy dress and go to a banquet. There will be many young talents wishing to meet you..."

A nanny came over and opened the exquisite gift box, which contained an exquisite dress.

"No!"

Elizabeth opened the fan and fanned it quickly, feeling angry again.

Obviously, the marriage with Viscount Charlie was basically going to fail.

The other party is a famous family, and it is unlikely to accept a woman whose reputation has been damaged—even if she has not been substantially harmed, reputation is often more important than substance.

Viscount Guia had mentioned this matter to his daughter in a veiled manner long ago, and at this moment, he directly revealed his attitude.

Since it is impossible to be well-matched, the second sons of some minor nobles, even lords, etc., can still be considered.

Thinking of the recent blind date-style 'encounters', and those handsome young men who resisted their searching and contemptuous gazes, Elizabeth felt as if a knife had been cut on her body.

"Miss, the master has ordered you to..."

Mammy was a little embarrassed.

"I said...no!!"

Elizabeth emphasized her tone, feeling extremely stuffy, she couldn't help but went to the balcony, looked at the sea not far away, and took a deep breath.

"my daughter!"

At this time, Viscount Quia, who was wearing a wig and well-dressed, came behind Elizabeth.

"I don't understand...why did you do that, father?"

Elizabeth made no excuses.

"I want you to know that I love you more than anyone else!"

Viscount Guia sighed: "It's just that the marriage with that viscount is no longer possible. The other party has become a laughing stock because of what happened during this period of time... those damned pirates! I hope Admiral Feili can get them out this time." Hang them all! Oh! I'm sorry . . . I shouldn't have told you that."

"No, I want to know, that pirate, Roach the Trickster, became the Pirate King? And Admiral Feili has taken away all the main forces in Solomon in order to attack him this time?"

Elizabeth stared intently at her father.

"These are military secrets, how do you know?" Viscount Kuiya was taken aback.

"I have my news channel!" Elizabeth smiled slyly, like a little fox: "When that Roach is hanged, I must go and see..."

"Your wish will come true, Admiral Feili is a famous admiral of our navy, plus fifty steam ironclad ships, this is an invincible force on the ocean..."

Viscount Guia's voice was full of pride: "I think...you will hear the good news in a short time."

"Hopefully!"

For some reason, Elizabeth felt a little uneasy.

Will that pirate who is both rampant and shrewd fail so easily? She has nothing in mind.

"Your Excellency, the latest information!"

At this time, a hurried footstep came and broke into the bedroom directly: "Sorry, sir, but you have ordered that once there is an update on the military situation, you must be notified as soon as possible."

"Yes, I said so...read!"

Viscount Quia patted Elizabeth on the shoulder: "Honey, good news is here."

"Ahem..."

The messenger immediately unfolded a parchment: "...On April 1, we encountered the main force of the pirates. The boys in the navy of the Kingdom fought bravely, but the enemy shamelessly used sea mines. Under the combined influence of other irresistible factors , we lost the Intrepid, the Lion, and the Knights of the Round Table... Admiral Phillips died for his country, and Lieutenant General Norton led the retreat of the last dozen or so ironclad steamships, which will arrive in the Solomon Strait on the 7th. Supply work..."

"Oh no!"

Viscount Guia was on the verge of collapse: "In the name of the queen, are you sure you are not kidding me? That is the elite of the entire kingdom, fifty new steam ironclad ships, and tens of thousands of the best navy boys..."

"I'm sorry...but it's true!"

The orderly stuttered and passed the papers.

"God..."

After a glance, the governor was about to faint.

"Father, what we have to do now is to prepare immediately, collect supplies, and ships! Ships are very important, maybe we will retreat with Lieutenant General Norton..."

Elizabeth said quickly.

"Retreat? From the Solomon Strait? No! I am the governor here..."

Viscount Guia's eyes were a little lost.

No matter how good he is at planning, when encountering such a thing, he is completely out of ideas.

"Yes, we must evacuate! After this battle, our navy's power has been greatly damaged, and we will definitely choose to shrink..." Elizabeth said firmly.

The training of the navy and the construction of ships are only one aspect.

The most important thing is to be a qualified sailor at sea. It is difficult to train them without four or five years.

The defeat of this sea battle has completely hollowed out the backbone generation of Insman's sailors, and it is really not easy to take a breath.

Thinking of this, Viscount Kuiya also immediately made a decision: "Send the order, all ports will enter a state of first-level alert... Also, prepare to evacuate..."

...

"Ho Ho!"

At this moment, a roar suddenly came from the place where the sea and the sky meet.

A black dot emerged, grew bigger and bigger, and turned into a floating island.

Pirate King City, King of Island Turtles!

Its speed is very sad, it can't even run 10 knots, and it can't be used for naval battles, but at this time it is firmly approaching the Solomon Strait.

Little by little, move slowly, but with unwavering momentum!

"It's a pirate! Attack!"

Several fortifications immediately noticed something strange and opened fire.

Rumble!

The explosion appeared on the island turtle, but compared to its huge size, it was no different from being bitten by a mosquito.

This is also Fang Yuan's arrangement.

With the speed of the Turtle King, even if he is unparalleled in defense, he can't match any pirate ship, but he can use it to attack a fixed target without any disadvantage.

There is no doubt that the Solomon Strait, despite its amazing defensive strength, cannot move, which is its biggest shortcoming.

In addition, at this time, all the steam ironclad ships in the strait were transferred away, which was at the lowest point of strength.

"Ho Ho!"

Ignoring the artillery fire on his body, the king of the island turtle roared, and slammed his forelegs hard on the island.

Boom!

When it hit its head, it was like a meteorite falling from the sky, and several fortifications fell apart in an instant.

"ah!"

"Sea monster!"

"Go!"

"Why does this turtle seem to have a city on its back?"

Solomon's port was immediately thrown into chaos.

Rao, they did not expect that there would be a sea monster with such an unbelievably large size.

But soon, they had no time to think about it.

Because as the island turtle king climbed onto the pirate, a large number of ropes and slides were lowered from its back, and the ant-like pirate, like a tide sweeping, submerged the port in an instant.

bang bang!

The sound of muskets, the clash of swords, the roars of men, and the screams of women, all mixed together to form a symphony of Solomon's last days.

"Come on! Take Elizabeth away!"

Governor Kuiya watched a pirate rush towards the Governor's mansion like an arrow, and his face turned pale instantly.

"Quick... go!"

Elizabeth lifted her skirt and grabbed her father's palm. Under the guard of soldiers, the two escaped from the Governor's Mansion together and ran towards the hillside behind.

"why why?"

While running away, Elizabeth also shed tears on her face.

She found that she seemed unable to escape that nightmare no matter what.

"Can't go to the port, but on the other side, I have ships ready..."

Viscount Guia calmed down, and finally regained his demeanor, and quickly said: "The captain is my good friend, Elizabeth, you go find him and leave immediately!"

"Father, what about you?"

Elizabeth tugged on the sleeve of Viscount Quia.

"I am Insman's Colonial Governor, and I must fulfill my responsibilities..." Lord Viscount smiled bitterly: "What's more... Lieutenant General Norton doesn't know what's going on here, and he regards this place as a safe rear port. Come here!"

Even now, he had to believe that those pirates had indeed won an unprecedented victory.

Even, there was still power to divide the troops into two groups, and before the war started, the king of the island turtle was sent to cut off the back of the Insman fleet!

There is no doubt that Insman's Royal Navy is already in the most dangerous situation!
