Then they saw a huge steam battleship without sails coming into their eyes.
The battleship seemed to swim around the wreckage of the French battleship in the sea like a mockery, and then left gracefully.
Their hands turned white, but there was nothing they could do.
The artillery on the shore could not attack the battleship at all and could not cause any damage to it.
But among the departing figures, the French general on the shore saw the sailors on the ship through his telescope, and was shocked to find that they were British!
"Britain..."
"Both Britain and Long Yan have created the same monster..."
This undoubtedly gave the French general a huge impact.
The results of the naval battle on the St. Laurent River soon reached Richard's ears.
He stared blankly at what happened, not quite believing it.
"You are saying that Britain has also developed a monster like the Dragon Flame supply ship?"
"Yes, Your Excellency, our supply line on the St. Laurent River has been cut off by the British army."
"In the Great Lakes region, the last fortress we built has been breached by Astimo. Their next target is definitely our important town, Quebec!"
"But now that we have lost our supply line, the battle in Quebec will become extremely difficult..."
Richard was stunned and slumped on the chair, countless thoughts flashed through his mind.
Quebec is extremely important to France. It is France's last stronghold on the east coast and is close to the port.
Supplies from the Americas can quickly enter Europe from the Atlantic Ocean.
If Quebec loses, they will be locked in America.
Moreover, the Quebec region is also an important trading center for the French, where they do fur business with the Indians.
But if Quebec is lost, the French will lose a very important business and ports on the east coast.
"No, Quebec Town must be defended even if everyone is killed." Richard murmured in his mouth.
He stared at his adjutant with fierce eyes and said: "Quebec Town must be defended!"
"Even if all the soldiers lose their lives there, we must hold on!"
His lieutenants fell silent. Quebec meant too much to them.
Richard's eyes gradually became sharp and he made a major decision.
"Go and call Wan Shang and Fang Dalong!"
"Forget it... I'll go see them in person." Richard took a deep breath and said.
The adjutant frowned, and he instantly guessed what Richard was going to do.
Wan Shang and Fang Dalong are Longyan people, and now they want to win the war in Quebec, or even maintain the final situation.
It depends on the relationship between the two of them.
If they can get some Dragon Flame weapons, then they might be able to succeed in this battle!
But France and Long Yan have already started a war.
It would probably be difficult to obtain some Longyan weapons and equipment through Wan Shang and Fang Dalong's channels.
"General, Long Yan's side..."
Richard interrupted him: "Even if there is no possibility now, we still have to try. Dragon Flame's weapons can allow us to defend Quebec."
"Wan Shang and Fang Dalong may bring us a little surprise. After all, this is not a formal cooperation between us and Long Yan."
The adjutant stopped talking and followed Richard away.
Under the dim light of the night, Richard's carriage drove quickly towards Wan Shang and Fang Dalong's tavern.
At this time, Fang Dalong and Wan Shang also received an urgent piece of information, only a little later than Richard.
