Chapter 371 The Battle of the Anchorage

The Venetians on the wall were organized in a very chaotic manner, and the elite soldiers and generals were on guard in the other direction for the Spanish landing that was about to begin.

General Trapattoni was just feinting when he expected the Austrians to attack on land. The Spanish fleet did not come across the sea just to watch a show.

Therefore, the Austrian assault went very smoothly, but Ladislaus still had many worries, one of which was the ship's mages of the Venetian Navy.

The mages equipped in the Venetian Navy are one of the largest mages in Europe. There are more than fifty mages serving the Republic of Venice at sea all year round, and more than one-third of them are intermediate mages above the fourth level who can contact the magic network.

According to the intelligence from brother Liti, there are two senior mages who can contact the seventh layer of the magic network as the key figures.

At this point in the battle, most of Austria's divine and arcane spellcasters have used up 90% of their spell slots. Once Venice's mid-level and high-level mages with full combat effectiveness appear, it will be quite dangerous.

Ladislaus still had a lot of spell slots, and now was the time to use them, so he rushed forward quite a bit.

Of course, Frunzberg couldn't let Ladislaus rush to the front. He rushed to the causeway at the lead.

A Venetian captain disembarked from his ship with dozens of sailors, trying to block the Austrian advance.

They struggled to disperse the wall guards who had just been defeated and were fleeing in all directions, and then formed an irregular battle line on the causeway.

Frunzberg had long noticed this group of soldiers going against the chaotic flow of people. He understood that although it was still a very thin and loose front, if it could not be defeated quickly, those captains who were willing to fight would soon spontaneously attack

Here, although the causeway of Venice Island can be said to be very wide and fast compared to the breakwaters of other cities, it can only accommodate twenty or thirty people on the front. Once an effective defense line is formed, it will be extremely difficult to break through.

So Frunzberg suddenly increased his speed. He was wearing heavy armor and actually got rid of everyone, including his lightly armored and unarmored comrades, in just a few dozen steps. He rushed directly into the Venetian crowd.

His last few steps penetrated the causeway, making all the Venetians feel their feet tremble.

"Don't panic, everyone, come with me..." The prestigious captain raised his sword and encouraged his subordinates.

He is the only person in the crew who has medium armor. Chain armor can be considered heavy armor at sea, and it is in good condition with dedicated personnel to maintain it. He is also a good warrior himself, and in his opinion, this is why he plays the mainstay role.

It's time.

But he did not play any positive role at all. He could not finish his words. His chainmail was like a piece of paper in front of the "Sword of Babenberg". It was just a face-to-face, his sword, his armor, his

His head and left shoulder were cut off together.

Compared with the sword in his hand, Frunzberg's impact caused greater results.

Even a dozen or so people gathered together could not withstand the force of his collision. They plopped like dumplings, and half of the front line was squeezed into the sea by Frunzberg alone.

"Well done!" Ladislaus originally planned to use the ice storm to clear the way, but Frundsberg's attack was so powerful that he slashed the captain with one sword and destroyed half of the battle line. Ladislaus

Naturally, there is no need to cast expensive arcane spells.

Leave the spell for the Venetian mage behind you.

The people who stood up first retreated so quickly that in just half a minute, the prototype of the front line disappeared without a trace.

The remaining sailors joined the torrent of escapees and ran together, trying to avoid the monster in khaki armor as low as possible.

Like all races when being chased by monsters.

It doesn't matter if you can't escape the monster, just run faster than your companions.

For the next more than a thousand meters, the Austrians acted as referees, ruthlessly deciding the outcome of this "one kilometer of life and death".

However, after dozens of people were hacked to death, the clever Venetians discovered that they did not have to keep running along the causeway. They could immediately quit the game by jumping into the sea.

For most people, going into the sea at night is dangerous.

But for these sailors who make a living at sea, it is not a problem to turn from the sea into the canal and then find a place to land at random.

The field of vision in front of us is getting wider and wider, and Trapattoni's flagship is already within sight, but the Venetian resistance is still in chaos, and the imagined intensive shooting of mages has never appeared.

Although Ladislaus was very worried that he would be hit by a volley of magic as soon as he boarded the flagship. But the sky was getting brighter and brighter, and the "Spanish Fleet" on the ocean would overwhelm him at any time, so he had no choice but to

Taking the lead, he grabbed a lasso and boarded the flagship of the Venetian fleet.

Ladislaus, who climbed onto the deck following Frunzberg, finally waited for the Venetian mage to attack, and several magic missiles were fired at him.

Before Ladislaus came up, he had blessed himself with Ghost Face and activated the Shadow Shield. Naturally, he was not afraid of attacks from these first-level magics.

With magic missiles and a small number of spears, Ladislaus used "Tamson Transformation" to launch an attack with Frundsberg.

There are indeed many mages in sight, and they are also very determined, but in addition to the first-level magic missiles, there are second-level Mayouf acid arrows. There is no magic like fireball or ice storm that is a great threat to ordinary soldiers, and even more

Don't talk about dissociation or finger of death, magic that is dangerous to high-level warriors.

Both Frunzberg and Ladislaus were fearless of low-level magic. Their charge was very fast and determined. The Venetian mages had no time to retreat after casting the spell, and the Austrians started killing them.

The volley of mages arranged by General Trapattoni was too weak, and the old general was very angry at those shameless mages.

They usually offer delicious food and drinks, but when the country's life and death are at stake, they all disappear without a trace. Only those young mages who have not experienced much in the world still have a little blood, and they gather together to defend their motherland.

If we use a "Rainbow Jet" against the Austrians now, it is entirely possible to severely damage these enemies, but these two mages, who are usually very respected and look like humans, did not appear at all. What is even more despicable is that they also robbed Venice of war preparations.

The warehouse, the scrolls and potions inside were looted.

This was actually arranged by Ladislaus, and little brother Li bought the stocks of these mages at a premium.

It's just that Ladislaus underestimated the love of money among these Venetian wizards, thinking that this would only weaken the enemy.

In fact, after Gorriti spent hundreds of thousands of thalers to go out, none of these guys who had made a lot of money refused to fight.

Their performance greatly weakened the remaining Venetians' will to fight. General Trapattoni launched a suicide attack and was beheaded by Frundsberg.

It only took less than ten minutes from boarding the flagship to lowering the "Woking Lion" flag and raising the double-headed eagle representing Habsburg. The battle was over even before the siege crabs who were scheduled to respond were ready.

.

The failure of the flagship made more hesitant members of the Goriti faction choose to cooperate with Austria, and the situation in the entire anchorage quickly developed in a one-sided direction.

"Let those private soldiers shout in Italian that no Venetians who stop resisting will be harmed." Ladislaus immediately began to fight mentally.
