Chapter 1146 (1/2)

”Enemy ship approaching --!”

The cry of amazement sounded on the surface of the gem River - when the first sharp eyed elf sailor sounded the alarm, the whole Azores elf fleet woke up and found that the opposite imperial fleet had already set out and was attacking them at full speed.

Strangely, the imperial fleet opposite did not form a dense formation in columns or rows. There was a lot of space between the front, rear, left and right of each warship, and the whole fleet was extremely loose.

However, in the eyes of the fleet commander of the Azores elves, this is only the last resort of the Empire's weak fleet - with less than half of its total number of warships, it is necessary to arrange an even wider formation, so as to have the power of a war.

But it's a pity... With such a loose formation, I can easily annihilate them one by one like a group of sharks, and be annihilated by ELF warriors with more than two or three times their strength in despair.

The only thing to be vigilant about is the flying imperial castle.

”Release the oars, spread the sails and move forward!”

Keeping a trapezoidal formation, the Azores elves fleet spread out to the two wings and approached the oncoming imperial fleet with great vigilance, just like a ”water wall” composed of canvas and wood.

Three hundred steps - the imperial fleet, propelled rapidly by wind and oars, did not respond except at full speed; The deck was quiet, like a coffin.

The slightly frowning elf fleet commander raised his sabre.

”Catapult - Fire!”

The splashing waves are accompanied by the shrill roar of iron crossbows and arrows tearing the air, and the fragmentation of decks, keels and sails... On the surface of the placid gem River, one imperial warship after another is destroyed and turned into fragments floating on the water.

Panicked sailors and heavily armed soldiers fell into the cold river one by one; Before they had time to flee, the arrows of locusts rained like pouring rain.

There was no resistance at all... The Azores were like playing shooting games, hunting sailors who screamed, wailed and struggled in the river; The dark red blood set off one spray after another on the cold river, and then disappeared under the blue and clear river.

The imperial fleet has lost one third of its combat power before it meets the enemy!

The commander of the elf fleet laughed coldly. The attack of the opposite imperial fleet regardless of casualties was just the last dying struggle in his view.

The elf fleet with its oars folded slowed down, deliberately put the rapidly advancing imperial fleet into the array, and then continued to use the quantitative advantage to divide and disintegrate, surrounded one imperial warship after another.

Three warships, one in front, two or so, sandwiched the imperial warship bag in the center, kept compressing, swept their deck with arrow rain, threw iron hooks with ropes in the cries and screams of sailors, and the elf warriors waving swords rushed onto the warship directly along the ropes.

The outcome is divided!

The fleet commander's face showed a confident smile.

Although as the fleet commander, he was only responsible for the simplest task of ”monitoring the gem River and providing support for the army”, he won the victory so easily and was the first army to defeat the enemy. I'm afraid even his highness rodria would be amazed at it?

With such achievements, maybe I can go further and become the leader of the Azores kingdom in the future

”Boom, boom, boom, boom!”

A loud noise came from the surface of the gem River - at that moment, both elves and imperial people turned their heads and looked at the black cloud rising in the sea of fire on the water like some fungus.

The dazzling light enveloped the sky again, followed by the terrible waves - the elves' warships were cut in two by the air waves like toys, rolled up and thrown into the air by the waves; At the same time of falling, it disintegrated in bursts of mourning and fell into the burning water.

Not only the fleet on the gem River, but also the bain Legion position on the bank was affected; The roaring sea water rushed up the embankment like a huge wave, and instantly broke down the thousand troops of the two long gun arrays closest to the river embankment; No soldier or knight could stand up in the current, and the indestructible formation turned into a plate of loose sand.

The Earl of Fort fury, who reacted at the first time, immediately ordered the whole army to move to the left front and give up the flooded area - anyway, it has become a muddy land. If the Azores were interested in rushing from here to be the target of archers, he would definitely applaud.

The disabled soldiers who lost their organizational system were quickly gathered up and moved to the rear of the front. Three hundred archers and a team of heavy bodyguards were placed behind the flooded area.

After completing a series of defensive measures, Ike, Earl of fury castle, immediately sounded Bain's marching horn and began to move forward with a neat array of long guns and Bain knights.

”Send orders to lanmallos and regrell to lead the Byrne Knight - there's no need to wait any longer. We can't let the enemy take the lead!”

Eckert, who turned over and mounted the horse, gave orders to the flag officer behind him and looked at Sarika Jonah who rushed towards him: ”Archduke Boye, please join your silver cavalry and Hussars...”

”Sweep their front, and then lure them to the spear array to crush these scum, right?!” the Archduke of machete rushed to the Boyi cavalry regiment that had already assembled and waited for orders before the count of anger Castle said:

”Those who want to kill rabbits, follow me!”

Waving the ”iron horse” long knife, Sarika dropped a word and rode away smartly.

A moment later, the sound of rolling iron shoes swept the whole battlefield!

The boi cavalry who shouted and fought rushed out of the long and strong square, passed the bain knights who were still gathering and waiting, followed by the beautiful back holding machetes and flags, and rode and whipped.

Some depressed count of fury Castle turned his eyes to the count of mountain rock Castle coming behind him: ”angert, take the infantry knights to hold down the front and ensure...”

”Make sure the front doesn't collapse, right?!”

With a proud hum, angel, the count of the mountain rock Castle who swung the big sword with one hand, put the big sword on his shoulder:

”Don't worry, we'll replace them when they're dead!”

With a heroic face, Angus strided across Eckert, leaving him only a figure behind.

With a helpless sigh, Eckert turned his eyes to the flag officer who was still waiting for the order, and couldn't help feeling a little tired:
