Starting from the evening, the scattered snowflakes in the sea area where Qianjin Island is located gradually became denser, and even slowly evolved into a large-scale blizzard.

At midnight.

Woo woo woo

The wind blowing from the Eternal White Continent forms an irresistible cold wave, under the triple attack of nature's cold wind, blizzard, and low temperature.

Except for two warships on duty still towing upstream on the sea, most of the garrison in thin clothing had already retreated into their camps.

In this kind of weather, even the base commander could not force the soldiers to continue patrolling at the risk of frostbite. Only fixed watchtowers and forts at a few key nodes lit enough firewood to continue their duties.

crackling

Beyond the light of the crackling bonfire, there seems to be another world that is forbidden to humans.

The camping area near the inner side of the island.

As time went by, the snow gradually thickened, and even the tents with fires inside formed a thick layer of ice crust, and the tents were connected together like snowdrifts.

Click!

A crack suddenly opened in a snowdrift, and immediately a cold wind whined in. As the half-asleep soldiers near the door cursed, a figure quickly emerged.

"It's too cold!"

Not prepared to stay away from the warmth of his bed, Private Makazi unbuttoned his trousers as soon as he left the camp.

patter

"Phew, I've been holding it in for half a night and I still can't hold it in anymore. If the temperature drops further, I might need to bring a stick with me when I go to the toilet."

After solving the physical problem, Markazi shivered hard and suddenly noticed that the snowy night was a little too bright.

"Huh? What's going on?"

He looked up and saw a huge fire rising in the distance. The flames that slightly illuminated the sky were like a basin of cold water, suddenly extinguishing the last trace of sleep remaining in his eyes.

In just a short moment, orange-red fire mixed with a hint of green rose into the sky. The next second he had come back to his senses and shouted at the top of his voice:

"Enemy attack!"

The high-pitched screams echoed in the camp, even the howling snowstorm could not block them.

Wow! Wow!

The neighboring tents immediately became agitated, and the sleeping soldiers jumped up instinctively.

Under the leadership of the junior officers, they put on their clothes regardless of the severe cold outside. If possible, they wrapped themselves in an animal skin for tents, grabbed their muskets, and ran outside.

"Hurry up!"

As a world-class military, we still have this kind of military quality.

"Ah! That's our baggage warehouse!"

By the time they rushed out, it was already a little late.

The warehouse closest to the port was already burning, mixed with strange green flames. The flames in two other warehouses were also rising, and the fire was gradually getting out of control.

And just by looking up, the transfer warehouse next to the dock was turned into a blazing torch by a green fire bomb that was like a cannon bombardment.

In the flickering light of the fire, several groups of unknown people wearing white cloaks completed their mission and were quickly rushing toward the outskirts of the island.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

ah

They had a fierce battle with the soldiers of Cyrus who had noticed the movement gradually coming out. The sound of gold and iron, the sound of muskets, and the screams were endless.

"Hurry up and support, don't let them escape! Others go to the warehouse to put out the fire!"

The support is good, but the fire storage tank near the warehouse has been completely scrapped.

Even if the freezing point of sea water is lower than that of fresh water, without the environment of the sea and the sudden cold wave, it would have been frozen into lumps of ice. How can it put out the fire?

"The mission has been completed. Don't get entangled with the Silius people. The intelligence says there is at least one great knight here. He won't be able to leave if it's too late!"

The men from Atlan and Sarco, led by two peak second-level captains, stormed into Cyrus's encirclement regardless of losses.

Finally they reunited at the port, jumped on the hidden longboat and quickly glided to their respective warships.

At this time, in addition to the commandos landing ashore, the artillery battle at sea has also begun. After all, how could the cruiser wandering around the periphery not see such a big movement?

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The orange-red gunfire has illuminated the sea surface.

previously.

Because of this sudden blizzard, even on the sea with excellent visibility, the visibility was less than 500 meters. The two "pirate ships" took advantage of the patrol break of the Silius warship to rush to the shore closest to the warehouse as quickly as possible.

, and then split up.

The howling wind helped them a lot, and even if they made a little noise, it did not attract the attention of the limited sentries.

Standing in the firelight and looking at the darkness in the blizzard outside, you can't see far at all.

After racing against time to eliminate the sentry and warehouse guards, he used kerosene to set fire to the warehouse within the mission. Although there were heavy losses in personnel, he finally completed his mission.

but.

Both parties soon discovered that the mutually agreed time limit had already passed, but there was still no fire in the last three and largest warehouses.

And after the other four warehouses caught fire, the defense of the remaining warehouses will inevitably be strengthened. By then, no one, let alone a bird, will be able to approach there!

"TMD! This guy called the White Knight is too unreliable. If the final mission fails, it will be all his responsibility!"

Coordinated operations emphasize consistency. If a certain part is launched early and exposed rashly, even if the small goal is completed, it will be a failure for the whole.

So this time, even though Sac and Atlan jointly assigned the most severe task to Ivan, they did not intend to deceive their teammates on this point.

If the mission fails because of deliberate mischief, none of them are the king's biological sons. Even if they complete the mission and return home, they will be ripped off by their superiors!

At most, they just want to reduce their own losses on the premise that the mission is completed.

If Aiwen follows the same tactics as them, when the fire lights up at the same time, they will have to break through many obstacles to return to the seaside. Even if they can evacuate in the end, they will suffer heavy losses. This was their initial calculation.

"Ignore him, let's get through the most difficult part of this mission first!"

After boarding their respective warships under gunfire, both sides did not dare to delay for a moment and fled in panic. After all, there was no third-level strong man in their team, and the victory was entirely due to surprise.

"Damn! Where to run?!"

Behind them, the furious base commander Grand Knight Major General Olcott, wearing only a thin white shirt, had already chased them to the seaside while wiping his heels.

His residence is in the center of the fan-shaped island. When the weather is normal, he can overlook the entire island. He can detect anything wrong at the first time and provide support to all parties in danger at any time. But tonight, it gave the arsonists a chance to escape successfully.

tread

Without hesitation, he stepped on the sea water and jumped onto a cruise ship, and quickly chased after it.

Although our own side has two fourth-level ships, even if its firepower is far greater than that of the cruiser, who has ever seen a ship-based artillery with extremely limited accuracy and shooting angle hitting the Grand Knight at sea?

Without any intention of starting a naval battle, the two black-sailed battleships just wanted to escape!

However, watching the relatively faster cruiser continue to close the distance is not an option.

On the black-sailed warship belonging to the Sark people, Haishiz stood on the poop and showed his abilities in front of friendly forces for the first time.

mala

The wildly rotating stream of dark green flames gathered into a ball in his palm, then rose into the air like a cannonball and swooped down on the cruiser behind him across a distance of several hundred meters.

[Spell: Breaking Flame Bomb!]

Boom!

On the bow of the ship, a solitary peak of sword light flowing with fighting spirit flames protruded, killing it with a bang.

However, although the dark green flame bomb was cut open by the major general with rich combat experience and keen senses, the tiny flames that exploded in the end still ignited part of the wood and the foremast sail, and the dark green flame adhered to the surface of the combustible material extremely

Difficult to extinguish.

While the crew was busy putting out the fire, Alcott looked at Haishizi on the ship in front of him from a distance and said in a cold voice:

"A Felfire Warlock?!"

The adjutant who was watching the major general go away on the shore was not worried that this was the enemy's plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain, and quickly issued an order:

"Strengthen the alert and divide several teams of personnel to protect our remaining warehouses!"

"As you command!"

Beside him, a group of ragged soldiers with ill-equipped equipment, regardless of their poor equipment, divided into several teams and ran towards the depths of the island with high spirits.

"Sure enough, even if he has experienced a catastrophic accident, he is indeed an outstanding soldier of the kingdom!"

The adjutant nodded slightly to acknowledge these soldiers from the Vice King's District of La Plata, and then said to the herald beside him:

"Hurry and ask the great knight Daos to come and take charge!"

After a while, the Grand Knight Daos, who was probably the only remaining member of the two expedition ships that had landed in Potosi, was respectfully led into the headquarters by the soldiers.

But now his condition is not very good.
