The man called Aulus nodded and turned his gaze to the small island that gradually became clearer under the sun.
He is the naval admiral of the Seven Hills Empire - Admiral Aulus Junius Brutus. At this moment, he is standing on a flagship. The sides, rear and front of the flagship are neatly arranged.
There are one hundred double-sailed warships lined up on the ground. Each warship has 120 oarsmen and 60 sailors, and the entire fleet is nearly 20,000 people.
But even though he was the commander-in-chief of this fleet, he was a little confused about the situation.
A few days ago, he received a summons purportedly from Baselisa, asking him to bring all his fleets to the Golden Horn. He thought that Baselisa was planning an important battle, but when he arrived at the Golden Horn, he
But not even the hem of Ella Cornelius Scipio's clothes was seen.
Then, a second strange order came, asking all his men to take a dip in the water of the Golden Horn. After everyone had finished taking a dip and returned to the boat, a third strange order came, saying
He had discovered the hiding place of the pirates who had recently plundered the Qi Qiu Empire, and asked him to lead his fleet to attack a small island whose name he had never even heard of.
As soon as the messenger who brought the third order left, a magic circle that had never been seen before appeared in the entire Golden Horn. The next second, the fleet of 20,000 people was thrown into this unfamiliar sea.
His adjutant came to him and whispered in his ear: "Lord Brutus, the island in front should be the hideout of the Pirate Kingdom in the order. But I think this matter is very strange. If nothing else, the Pirate Kingdom
The stronghold is near Gotland, when did it become this inexplicable Antilia?"
"There is no need to worry about this. This is an instruction given by the Scipio family. Even if it is wrong in the end, it will not be the fault of our Brutus family. I only care about the strength of our opponent."
Aulus calmed himself down and carefully gave the "advance" order to the fleet. After a brief adjustment, the huge fleet began to slowly press towards Antilia.
As soon as the fleet moved forward, not long after, about fifty ships appeared one after another in the direction of Antilia. They were all small boats, drifting sporadically towards Aulus' fleet.
Upon seeing this, the adjutant shouted: "Lord Brutus, this is not the longship of the Pirate Kingdom! It is an ordinary fishing boat! The Scipio family must have made a mistake, these are just some ordinary fishermen! Stop the attack!"
"Stop the attack? Why?" Aulus laughed, "They are all ordinary fishermen - isn't this the best situation? Look at the houses and farmland on the island, think about how much is hidden on them
Gold, cattle, sheep, women, and the heads of men - the soldiers can't wait to turn them into military glory. What's more, all the blame will be borne by the Scipio family. What could be more satisfying than this?
Something about?"
The meaning of Aulus' words made the adjutant suddenly excited: "So, what does Lord Brutus mean?"
"No, no, no, that's not what I meant. I just faithfully carried out Baselisa's instructions to 'clean up' Antilia."
Aulus smiled and made a "cleaning" gesture.
The adjutant was so excited that his blood was racing, and he hurriedly received the order to the fleet: "Let the oarsmen row harder, haven't eaten? Then row faster for me, and go to the island to eat well! There are also bows and arrows.
Hands, let the archers shoot for me!"
Following the adjutant's instructions, arrows rained down from above the fishing boats on Antilia Island. The islanders hid their bodies under small leather shields and struggled to maneuver the fishing boats close to the Seven Hills Empire's fleet. Upon seeing this, the adjutant said,
Then he commanded: "Get ready for the ballista!"
The two soldiers carried the huge stone bullet over and worked together to mount it on the ballista on the bow of the ship. With a thrilling sound of bowstrings, a small boat was unfortunately hit by the stone bullet, and the hull was suddenly broken into pieces.
Two sections. The islanders on the boat had to abandon the ship and jump into the water one after another. The adjutant refused to give up and asked the captain of the flagship to use bows and arrows to aim at the islanders who fell into the water. The islanders swimming in the water could not protect themselves with shields and were killed one after another.
Finally, only one person survived and climbed onto another fishing boat. That fishing boat was soon hit by another stone bullet, and all the islanders on the boat died under the ensuing rain of arrows.
Lily Mistertin was listening to the battle reports that kept coming from the shore, and she was so anxious that she spun around in circles. She couldn't figure out where the huge fleet in front of her came from. It was neither a pirate fleet nor a fleet.
The islanders have never seen the fleet of any prince in the Lemanni Federation. The flags on the fleet have never been seen before, and the number of fleets is enough to destroy a small kingdom! Why would such a fleet target Antilia? An
What is there on Tilia Island that is worthy of making the empire with such a fleet go to war?
"Miss, ten ships have sunk! What should we do?"
Lily Mistertin's eyes could not see the situation on the battlefield, but when Hunter Mistertin was poisoned, she was the only one who could come out and command the islanders.
"We can only continue to charge forward! Our only chance of winning is to board their flagship and kill their generals! If we continue to get closer to them, as long as we believe in the swordsmanship of the Mistertin clan, we can win!"
However, when he saw the fishing boats approaching the fleet, the smile on Aulus's face grew wider and wider. Not long after, the adjutant came to Aulus's ear and said: "Lord Brutus, they have entered the range.
Already."
Aulus suppressed his smile, and there was a hint of coldness in his eyes: "Then, use 'Ocean Fire'."
Under a series of successive instructions, the warships equipped with ballistae dispersed, and a new row of warships accelerated through the exposed gap and sailed to the front of the fleet. There was no ballistae on their bows, instead there was a strange
A small box with several hollow tubes protruding from the front.
Looking at the approaching fishing boats, the adjutant waved his hand casually: "Ocean Fire, launch!"
The islanders on the fishing boat were preparing to board the Qiqiu Empire warship. Suddenly, those warships spurted fierce flames forward. The first few ships were instantly ignited by the flames. The wooden ships were completely unable to
Once the barbecue withstands the flames, it is ignited, and the flames can spread to the entire boat at once. The fishing boats behind saw this and wanted to turn, but they had also entered the range of the ocean fire. Although the range of the mysterious weapon was not far,
But it seemed to be able to spray endlessly and never-endingly. In the blink of an eye, all the fishing boats were on fire, and the islanders had to jump into the sea. If anyone jumped a step too late, the body would immediately be swollen with fire.
Start a flame.
And the nightmare had just begun. After igniting all the ships, the soldiers of the Qiqiu Empire actually turned the jet pipes to the sea!
When the flame came into contact with the sea water, not only did it not go out, but it continued to burn on the sea surface! For a time, every sea surface was burning with fire. The islanders who jumped into the sea were either burned to death by the fire, or they sank forever.
Go to the bottom of the sea and sleep forever in the sea.
