Chapter 589 (1/2)
On the south side of the western continent, Jingyue Strait.
Sea water in the sky under the sun, showing a light green, if it is far away, it seems to be deep blue.
After leaving Vilga and ruerna on the continental margin, to the south is a sea of waves. After going out to sea, the ship continued to sail thousands of miles south before meeting the nearest large island, which is the beautiful island in the South archipelago.
The sea area between Hualan island and the mainland is Jingyue Strait.
But now the Jingyue Strait is not quiet. Big ships with sails break through the waves and keep undulating in the waves. Sometimes the water waves are lifted up and fall into the armor above and get wet.
Bang Bang——
A few low gunfire came from afar, followed by several huge waves higher than the bow around the ship.
Following the source of the artillery fire, at the end of the field of vision, a group of iron black ships are firing thousands of meters away. The 40 cannons along the hull opened fire one after another. The cannonball crossed a long arc and hit this side. It fell on the wooden hull, smashed layers of broken sawdust into the hull, and then exploded abruptly, with flames and debris flying.
The sea water poured in a large amount along the broken hole, and then formed a small vortex around it. Some of the sailors struggled to grasp everything they could, such as wooden boards, iron bars, broken masts and so on.
But they didn't have time to leave the dangerous whirlpool, and soon the second round of shelling fell again and again, many people disappeared directly in the explosion and waves.
With the continuous lengthening and rising of the birds on the sea, the scene of the blue sea below is also panoramic.
To the north is an armored fleet of 30 black warships, each of which is made of forged iron. It is about 100 meters long and has a displacement of nearly 9000 tons. The ship has three tall masts and sails. Under the side chord are 40 square muzzles, from which one gun sticks out, swallowing and spitting fire tongue, and firing one shell that breaks the sky.
On the south side of the sea, there are a group of large and small sail warships, about 100 of which are painted with black and white waterproof paint. The largest hull is no more than 60 meters, and the maximum displacement is only 5000 tons. There are several tall cross masts standing on the hull. The white sail is full by now, and under the side chord are three rows of dense muzzles, About 100 guns spewed counter fire.
Unfortunately, although the number of gunfire of the sail fleet is large, its caliber is far less than that of the enemy, which also leads to the suppression of its power and range by armored ships.
The two sides exchanged fire continuously on the sea, and the continuous gunfire came one after another, splashing big water flowers. From time to time, ships in the sailing fleet were shot, cracked, caught fire, or even sank. However, the armored ships in the north are still unharmed. When the shells fall on the ship, they are not only protected by strong forged iron armor, but also a piece of enchanted blue lines lights up to resist part of the impact and protect the interior of the ship.
Sailboat, flagship tower.
”General pfeiffert, we're losing our fleet! Several warships have signaled to retreat. ”
A messenger in a white uniform rushed into the room, reporting eagerly.
Since the cold frost united to fight with clancia, it sent several armored fleets to block the Jingyue Strait and patrol the sea in rotation. Because of the previous aid, the kingdom of cranberry was involved. Many merchant ships and passenger ships between Jingyue Strait were detained, which caused great losses to the trade dependent southern islands.
Later, in order to fight back and protest, the South Islands also recruited many large domestic ships to form a joint fleet to break through the blockade of the northern Strait.
But if today's battle fails and a large number of warships sink, it can be imagined that for a long time, the southern islands will be trapped in the cold and frost blockade.
General pfeiffert frowned, and the veteran looked at the undulating sea in the distance“ Haven't the rear winged birds arrived yet? It's not difficult to defeat this armored fleet with their help. ”
”Report to the general, we sent out a signal two hours ago, and should have arrived long ago...” the adjutant answered with sadness.
General pfeiffert took a deep breath, then said in a deep voice, ”signal, we'll be careful to retreat.”
”Yes, general!” The messenger ran out of the room, but a special flag was raised on the mast, and the fleet began to turn.

A hundred miles away from the battle between the two fleets, the sky was covered with lead clouds. From time to time, red magic torrents appeared in the dark gray clouds, and iron gray airships shuttled through them, occasionally attacking the giant winged bird flying in the clouds.
These winged birds have red eyes. They seem not as clear and bright as they used to be, but a little crazy. The mages on their back struggle to keep calm and barely keep from falling into the sea.
The nearly 200 airships shuttling up and down in the sky clouds will not miss such a good time. More than 3000 mages on the airship jointly cast spells, forming golden energy grids, and constantly hunting the wild winged birds.
Once the giant winged birds are surrounded by the grid, there will be intensive artillery fire from the airship, which will blow these birds into flesh and blood pieces and scatter them in the sea.
”Ha ha ha, it's really pleasant to watch these animals fried into roast chicken.”
Inside a huge black airship, a man in a black and red uniform picked up his glass and enjoyed the scenery outside the window.
His dress seems to be a combination of the mage's robe and military uniform, which is not only a bit elegant, but also a bit neat and capable.
”But... Thank you very much, Abel.” The man turned around, his mustache curling up slightly with a smile.
”It's a great honor, Lord hunter.” A young man bent over to salute and then looked up. He was wearing a black uniform with a white silk scarf in his collar, showing an elegant temperament.
”I know what you want.” Hunter walked a few steps, sat on a flannel chair, stretched out his right hand and asked the servant to fill his glass.
”After the battle of Hopland, I will guarantee you the restoration of the glory of the tisifunes, and share one third of the wealth of the calides and the Helios with you.”
”Thank you, Lord hunter, for being your faithful followers.” Abel once again expressed his gratitude.
Although he knew in his heart that the adult might be writing a bad check, he might not get a cent of the property of the calites and the Hollis family when Hopland made the call.
But what about this? As long as we hold on to this great military figure of frost alliance, it is only a matter of time before the rise of tissifoney family again.
Unlike his two reckless brothers, Abel, as the last surviving direct descendant of the tissifoney family, deeply understood the insignificance of his personal strength, and used strategy and mind far more than brute force.
The failure of their two brothers lies in their too much belief in advanced technology and extraordinary strength, and giving up their initial stratagem. The world is ultimately dominated by human and relationship.
After the failure of the Hopland incident, he hid his tracks, lurked in the southern islands for several years, and finally grasped some of the weaknesses of the winged bird. Now he finally took advantage of this to build up a network of relations in the past and get in touch with frost rose.
And as long as the frost Alliance wins, the tisifunes will revive in their own hands.
He believed so.
Outside the window of the airship, a divine winged bird falls in all kinds of restrictions and attacks, and its feathers and flesh fall into the sky in mourning.
