The [Knights Templar of the Church of Justice] retreated, and only one senior member of the Church of Justice was left in Kastenburg to continue working with the civil officials on the construction of the new church.
On the surface, the "Fallen Angel" incident seems to have ended, but in fact, the impact of this incident has just begun.
Jia Min is a six-winged fallen angel, but his soul is still a human being. What this means is naturally self-evident.
Long-term vision is the ultimate pursuit of short-lived species like human beings after satisfying their desire for food and clothing.
After the existence of Kastenberg, the six-winged fallen angel, is exposed by the Church of Justice, it will definitely cause an uproar in human society. The secret method of transferring human souls to the bodies of immortal races to gain long lives will definitely attract people.
Endless peeks.
In the meeting hall of Kastenberg, Jia Lian said the above speculation with a relaxed expression, which made everyone in the congregation look solemn.
The difference is that after seeing Jia Lian's always relaxed posture, the members of [Jia Lian's Army] also quickly regained their confidence and regained their calm mentality.
However, the noble steward of Kastenburg under Jia Min, the commander of the castle guard, and several subordinates of the city hall still looked panicked, looking frightened and uneasy.
However, neither Jia Lian nor Jia Min paid attention to these people. Jia Lian was very satisfied when he saw the calm and composed legion members.
The current situation was actually something Jia Lian had expected, and he had even anticipated it when the relevant information from the Justice Church came.
Avoiding the battle with the Church of Justice is also based on this consideration, otherwise people will come knocking on the door, and Jia Lian is not a fool, so they can easily get over it by giving them a symbolic "explanation"?
Why is the Fourth Disaster so talked about by all the worlds? Is it really just because of the immortality of the "players"?
No! Part of the reason is that whenever a player appears, a large number of causes and effects begin to entangle around them, and disasters sweeping the world begin to brew and break out quickly!
Players rely on inexplicable things such as "experience points", "levels" and "attributes" to rise rapidly in various wars and eventually become a world-wide presence.
Now, a technology or secret method of "reincarnation for immortality" is enough to stir up some trends. Jia Lian has never concealed the existence of the Jia family's secret method of reincarnation before, including when he contacted the Allison family.
It is also for this round that the wind and cloud will meet, and the dragon and the snake will rise and fall at this time!
Well... to put it bluntly, it means that the "game world" version is updated, and the level of enemies that need to be dealt with suddenly increases. However, the combat effectiveness of [Jia Lian Legion] is too low due to the current war intensity, and the upgrade speed cannot keep up!
Jia Lian needs an environment that attracts enemies, causes large-scale disputes, and further speeds up the upgrade of [Jia Lian's Legion]. Otherwise, their situation will become even more difficult in the future, just like they faced the Church of Justice today.
…
Nanyang Xingzhou, also known as Qinjinjiapo in later generations, was the territory of the British at this time, and it was also their most important port city in the Far East except Tianzhu.
Backed by the Strait of Malacca, it was the first large port that could dock after passing through the Strait of Malacca from the west to the Far East.
It is precisely because of this that Xingzhou City is extremely prosperous, with hundreds of ships of various types docking here and leaving the port every day.
The toll tax alone makes the British people earn a lot of money every day, but since the past two days, this prosperous city has been shrouded in a gloomy mist.
The news of the defeat of the Western United Fleet quickly spread to all parties as the high-level faith knights escaped. The senior officials stationed in Xingzhou City in the British country also received the news a few days ago, and then there was a panic from top to bottom.
spread.
Today, half a month later, the number of ships coming and going in the formerly busy port has become extremely sparse, with only a few ships daring to dock here.
It was also at this time that a huge fleet consisting of fifty or sixty imitation Galenic sailing ships suddenly appeared at the intersection of sea and sky.
There were many kinds of flags in the fleet, including the golden dragon flag representing Daqing, the black wolf flag of Rongguo Mansion, and the naive killer whale on the flag of the Nanyang Fleet, all indicating the identity of the visitor.
In the last battle with the Western United Fleet, Jia Lian did not send the killer whale team, which numbered more than 2,000, to fight because he was worried that the enemy's artillery fire would be too fierce.
But today, half of the killer whale team went out with the Nanyang Fleet. The huge black and white beasts that jumped out of the sea from time to time and made huge splashes of water were very eye-catching.
Ying Jili's troops on the Xingzhou City Port's coastal defense artillery position couldn't help but think of all kinds of sea monster legends.
Before the battle began, the Daqing army, which was able to control the sea monster, put great psychological pressure on the British defenders. At this moment, the British officers waved a bright red flag from the command platform high in the port!
After a very short time, the artillerymen uniformly lit the fuses of the coastal defense artillery positions at various locations in the Xinzhou Port.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
Continuous huge gunfire came from five coastal defense artillery positions near the port. Nearly 300 24-pound and 36-pound artillery blasted at the same time, shooting out hot iron balls burned red by gunpowder, drawing a line in the air.
The parabola, which far exceeded the observation limit of mortal eyesight, hit the Nanyang Fleet in the distance.
England is worthy of being a powerful country in this era that is about to take over the title of "The Sun Never Sets" from the fallen Castilian people. At least the garrison stationed in Xingzhou City performed extremely well.
Even if it was my first wave of artillery shells, nearly one-tenth of the more than 200 artillery shells hit the warships of the Nanyang Fleet accurately.
Fortunately, the quasi-Xiantian warriors aboard the battleship took action in time, and saw the air-splitting palm power formed by condensing Xiantian Qi to meet those precise cannonballs, easily smashing or deflecting them.
Don't think that the one-tenth hit rate is very low. You must know that this is the first round of artillery salvo. The British did not even make calibrated tactical actions and just fired the salvo.
Such tactical behavior fully demonstrated the elite level of the British army. What's more, just three minutes later, the second round of artillery salvo came again. This time the hit rate was greatly improved, reaching about 30%.
At this time, all the quasi-innate warriors evenly distributed on the 60 warships took action but were not completely stopped. The two imitation Galen warships at the forefront were missing.
One of the warships was hit by a cannonball above the stern rotor, which was the point on the rear of the ship. The red iron cannonball completely smashed the stern.
The scattered wooden thorns were given powerful kinetic energy by the ferocious cannonballs and shot in all directions. At that time, more than ten soldiers and sailors were injured, causing screams.
Fortunately, the most serious incident was that one sailor was pierced through the cheek by a flying wooden thorn, and half of his tongue was lost, and he was almost shot in the head.
Another battleship that was hit by artillery was lucky that the shells only hit the canvas. The hot shells penetrated the largest canvas in the middle of the sailboat, leaving a charred hole that was transparent from front to back.
At this time, even Liu Changgong couldn't help but look a little solemn, and ordered the Xiantian Grandmasters accompanying the army to take action in the same way, and cooperate to deal with the third wave of volleys from the enemy.
At the same time, the warships in the fleet with firing ranges were ordered to fire back. Although the artillery hit rate of warships on the sea was more than one order of magnitude lower than the hit rate on land, it was still better than being completely passively beaten.
As the order for the flagship was issued, more than forty innate masters who were originally sitting at the rear took off collectively and came to the sky directly in front of the fleet facing Xingzhou Port, where they set up a defensive formation.
Just after this arrangement was completed, the British army launched its third wave of artillery salvos. This time, the accuracy of the artillery shells was still at the previous level, or even better.
Fortunately, Liu Changgong's order was very timely, and the Xiantian Grandmaster blocking the front of the fleet successfully intercepted more than half of the hot shells that were accurately fired at his own warships.
The remaining ones were shot down one by one by the quasi-innate warriors who were still guarding the battleships. At the same time, sporadic artillery counterattacks began to appear from several battleships in front of the fleet.
But the hit rate was really impressive. Nearly 50 artillery pieces opened fire, and only one shell successfully hit the British coastal defense artillery position. However, it was also blocked by the defense fortifications piled in front of the artillery and made of sacks filled with soil. It did not deal any damage.
The enemy causes damage.
At this time, the generals of the Nanyang Fleet were secretly comforting themselves that they had hit one shot at least. But then, as the shooting continued, the Nanyang Fleet still won a lot of victories, and even due to the constant displacement, there would occasionally be no hits.
situation.
This made the fleet's senior officials look bad. Compared with the enemy gunners' hit rate of about 30%, the Nanyang Fleet's performance was simply unimpressive.
The arrogance that Liu Changgong and other senior officials of the Nanyang Fleet had due to their previous consecutive victories disappeared in an instant.
Even though this was a confrontation between land and sea, such a huge difference between heaven and earth made the generals of the Daqing army, who originally regarded themselves as the kingdom of heaven, a little embarrassed. They gritted their teeth secretly and decided to train their own gunners to the death after this battle.
In this attack on Xingzhou City, if we simply compare the quality of the troops, their Nanyang Navy would be really embarrassed and thrown into the grandma's house. It is really necessary to compare goods and compare people to death...
Fortunately, this humiliating time was about to end, and the Nanyang Fleet finally broke through the layers of resistance from the coastal defense artillery and arrived near Xingzhou Port.
The formation of the Nanyang Fleet remained unchanged, still maintaining the dense formation behind the defense network composed of innate masters and quasi-innate warriors.
More than 600 quasi-innate warriors carried on each ship rose up from the ship like sparrows, directly past the artillery firing range of the coastal defense artillery position that originally lowered as the fleet approached, and reached high altitude.
Then they dispersed into five clusters, quickly arrived at the five coastal defense artillery positions near the port, and then charged vertically downwards towards the British army without stopping.
Every coastal defense artillery position of the British army was attacked by more than a hundred quasi-innate warriors, and the scene was very tragic.
More than a hundred quasi-Xiantian warriors joined forces to blast the air-splitting palm energy down like rain. On average, every two people were responsible for "bombing" one artillery piece and nearby enemies, and the coverage rate was completely sufficient.
After only one round of attacks, except for the largest coastal defense artillery position in the center, which caused some slight obstruction, the rest of the positions were not strong enough to be blocked by the English officer who was only a second-level faith knight.
More than 300 artillery pieces fell silent almost instantly, and the gunners responsible for operating them suffered more than 50% casualties.
Only two third-level faith knights appeared on the largest anti-cannon position in the center, blocking the attacks of some quasi-innate warriors.
Moreover, they soared into the sky and went straight upstream to attack the Quasi-Xiantian Warrior Group, outnumbered and outnumbered, which greatly demonstrated the courage of the English army.
Caught off guard, they even seriously injured more than five quasi-Xiantian clan elders from the Daqing family, but in the end they were outnumbered, even if the quasi-Xiantian warriors were half a rank behind these two.
Although the innate true energy of the quasi-innate warriors is qualitatively different from that of the third-level faith knights, they still have an absolute advantage in numbers.
The out-of-body Qi energy blasted out from all directions by more than a hundred quasi-innate warriors clearly exceeded the limit of these two people's ability to deal with it. After just one wave, their bodies were already on the verge of reaching their limit.
The quasi-innate warrior group then blasted the two knights of faith in the Three Realms into the air with continuous air-splitting palm power. Their flesh and blood exploded into pulp and spread across the sky, which was extremely tragic.
Seeing this horrific scene, the remaining British troops below quickly began to collapse. Fear spread extremely quickly, and soon the collapse of individual British soldiers turned into a large-scale rout.
After the Quasi-Xiantian Warrior Group chased and killed them, before the battleships of the Nanyang Fleet could dock, white flags were quickly raised at various positions in Xingzhou Port.
Of course, most of those left behind to raise the white flag and surrender were injured British soldiers, and more defeated troops were retreating into Xingzhou City.
When Liu Changgong and Jia Lian saw that the shore defense artillery position was not firing, they led the innate masters who were originally responsible for guarding the fleet to come from the air.
Seeing that a large number of English soldiers began to rout into Xingzhou City, they decisively led their quasi-innate warrior regiments to raid from low altitudes in batches, constantly driving away these defeated troops. Any English officer who tried to organize and command the remaining troops would immediately be attacked from the sky.
a cruel blow.
The artillery on the Lingbao opened fire regardless of the possibility of harming its own troops, but it failed to stop the actions of Daqing's high-level warriors.
Although there are occasional quasi-innate warriors who are hit by artillery, most of the high-level warriors who have been recuperating for many days are in perfect condition. After activating the Gangqi throughout their bodies to defend themselves, one or two cannonballs are aimed at the innate warriors.
Basically, it's just a minor injury at most.
Under such circumstances, the increasingly cruel psychological pressure began to make the British soldiers completely collapse and even go crazy.
Because the defeat came so quickly, the gate of the nearby Lingbao in the center of Xingzhou City did not have time to close. The commander had no choice but to send a military law team to the outside of the city to try to stop the defeated army.
But as expected, they were forcibly dispersed by the crumbling defeated army. Countless panicked British soldiers crazily crowded into the gate of the Lingbao. In the chaos, countless broken soldiers were trampled to death.
