Chapter 268 Boom! It's Over!
The heavy rain made the flintlock guns lose their ability to fire. The nobleman clicked his tongue, put down his hand to give orders, and said to the people below:
"It's raining. You saved your life. I'll give you a suggestion. Now go to the sea to salvage. If you find wealth, I will send you a doctor. This is a suggestion from a benevolent noble!" the blanket noble shouted loudly. .
In heavy rain, even the cannons cannot be activated, so the naval battle will naturally not start and will definitely retreat.
Usually during a truce, these people salvage the spoils of war, and the money will flow to them.
The people who come here don't bring much supplies. Even if they want to leave, they can't leave without getting supplies from here. No matter what, they will find a way to squeeze the last penny out of these people.
Make money locally and spend it locally, I want to take it home!
Even if you rob supplies in the local kingdom, you will still be at risk. On the main island of Gareth, there are territorial nobles guarding them. The things they grabbed will be robbed again and they will be taken by hand.
The side of the sub-island of Timaton is even more dangerous, that is the army of young lions!
As for those who are lucky enough to actually grab it.
If you can grab it, grab it. It's not them who are grabbing it, it's none of their business!
After the nobles on the city wall left, the remaining members of the coalition subconsciously looked back and looked at the sudden huge storm. Its strong winds and waves were so strong that the waves were even higher than the height of some ships.
This kind of weather makes them go to sea?
It would be better to go back and capture Fort Augustine, maybe the chance of death would be smaller.
"Damn it!"
A bounty hunter clenched his fists, "Obviously we provide our own ship and personnel. We gave them everything, but they still refused to treat injuries. Aren't we allies!"
"The other party doesn't think so."
A pirate next to him who was slightly injured smiled bitterly: "There is no other way. Go ask other people who came ashore. Our number has also been reduced. We cannot form a combined army. Ask where there is a shortage of manpower. Let’s merge into the past. No matter what, let’s heal the injury first.”
The war has lasted for such a long time. This is what these small groups of troops who were invited did. After being damaged, they continued to merge and form new troops. They just hoped that they could survive longer.
Survive until the end of the war and get generous rewards and territory.
But now, it seems that even this only thought is going away. There is no way to even go back, so I can only waste it here.
boom! !
Another thunderous explosion illuminated the faces of these people under the rain. At the same time, a circular shadow was illuminated in this light, covering them.
A person subconsciously raised his head, his eyes widened in the flash, completely ignoring how dazzling the flashing thunder and lightning was, and murmured: "Cannonball?"
…
In the sea channel, the coming storm caused both sides of the naval battle to retreat. At the same time, a huge black ship also took advantage of the wind and rain to enter the sea channel in the center of the island.
"The fight was very intense."
On the deck, Sage held a telescope and stared at the shipwreck on the sea for a while, then moved the telescope a little and placed it on the giant city next to it.
A magnificent city located by the sea. From here, you can only see the tall city walls, which are like the most magnificent barrier between heaven and earth. Only a few rising spiers can be seen within the city wall, as well as the top of the larger palace that can be seen beyond the height of the city wall.
Outside the city gate, there should be a port town, but it has been completely destroyed. Even so, those densely packed buildings can still represent the prosperity outside the city in the past. Beyond the port town is a huge city with carved patterns. Door.
What you can sense through sight, smell, and color is a very strong historical atmosphere.
Nice city!
Suitable for local area!
Sage fell in love with this city almost at first sight!
"Is this Fort Augustine?" Lily put down the telescope and couldn't help but exclaimed, "It's really big, bigger than Dressrosa."
That place was prosperous enough, but now looking at Fort Augustine from the outside, the area enclosed by the city wall was larger than the entire Dressrosa.
The Dressrosa she mentioned not only refers to the city area, but also includes the area of the entire Dressrosa island. Doflamingo only developed half of Dressrosa.
If you look at the entire Augustine from a distance, it occupies one-third of the area of the main island Gareth, not including the secondary island Timmaton.
They are both countries, but the area is so different. No wonder they belong to the category of "powerful country".
But such a big country cannot be conquered immediately.
"Sag, we need to change our plan."
Lily said: "I think if the great nobles are recruiting now, we can join the great nobles first. After we have achieved enough achievements and are named nobles, we can gradually unify this place through our status as nobles."
"agree."
Hawkins pulled out a tarot card and said, "In this case, our probability of victory will increase."
"Hehehehehe, it seems easier to do it this way, Sage, let's do it like this." Moria said with a smile.
After Sager gave the general direction, the three people responsible for perfecting the plan worked out the details.
The original idea was to follow Sager's wishes, first enter Fort Augustine, then summon the pirates in his name, and then rule the kingdom with his personal strength.
But as soon as they entered the seaway, they saw the fleets retreating from each other.
Each side had no less than 30 ships, and the wreckage on the sea was so much that it could be used as a garbage dump. In addition, with such an area and the powerful city of Augustinburg, their 1,200 people might not be able to handle it, let alone summon them.
It is better to join in first and start to disintegrate from the inside.
As a descendant of the royal family, Lily's plan was well prepared. With her identity, people in this country would accept it faster.
"Too much trouble!"
Sag looked down through the telescope and took out a cigar from his cloak. Miot, who was responsible for holding an umbrella for him, held out a lighter and lit it for him respectfully.
"Let's not get involved in this. It's such a big country with all kinds of intertwined forces. It's so troublesome at first glance. I'm here to be a local landlord, not to be their king."
Sage glanced at Lily and said, "The Kingdom of Oikot is complicated, not to mention a place like this, it must be full of nobles and wealthy people. Even if you occupy the kingdom with your method, who will rule it, me or them? What I want is absolute rule. There is nothing wrong with my plan!"
He looked at the huge outline of the giant city and gradually smiled grimly: "Blast the city gate, I... Didn't mom go in? Letty, adjust the main gun for me, and calculate the power. How many times can we blast the city gate open without affecting other places? "
"Oh!"
Renetia cheered excitedly, and hurried to the bow to check and debug the main gun, and turned around and said: "Ordinary firing can blast the city gate, but if you want to make the city gate disappear, double the power is enough, Sag, fire, I want to see it, I want to see it!"
After the ship was built, except for her own experiment of firing, the main gun had not been moved, not to mention the shells after Sag applied the power.
"Okay, then double it, speed up, I want to eat in this city tonight!"
At Sag's order, Qiangbalu, who was in charge of steering, obviously increased the speed. There was also a button on the rudder that connected to the power instrument device, and it could be quickly advanced by steering.
The Death Star quickly advanced to the center of the seaway, facing the huge city gate.
Sager put one hand on the main gun's firing device, aimed the main gun at the city gate, and exerted a little force with his five fingers, "Momo, double!"
The bow of the ferocious beast with its mouth open to swallow everything, burst out a huge ball of fire from its mouth, carrying a cannonball that was twice as large, and on the same basis, it increased its speed by twice, turning into a dark afterimage and heading straight for the magnificent city gate.
Boom! !
