Reggie didn't see the stars, but he saw the power of the sea. In fact, he was considered lucky. Sea dragon grass has a soothing effect. At the most dangerous and difficult moment, he lay on Mi'er's knees and slept all night.
, but Yinge led the orc warriors to fight the storm all night long.
At dawn the next day, the sea was calm, so calm that there was no wind. The sails lost power and the warship stayed at sea.
Fortunately, the wings of the Falcon warship were equipped with row oars. The orc warriors, who had fought fiercely all night in the wind and rain, rowed the warship and continued to move forward. They did not want to stay in this sea area for too long. According to Ada's speculation, in the next few days,
There will be no wind in this sea area.
At dusk, the exhausted orcs had to rest. Reggie deeply understood the danger of the sea. If the Golden Eagle Kingdom's fleet suddenly appeared at this time, Reggie would even consider surrendering directly.
Fortunately, he was quite lucky and did not encounter any enemies that night. Around midnight, the wind finally picked up.
The warship followed the wind and walked along the route for a whole day. At dusk the next day, following the instructions on the navigation chart, they approached Spike Island, the first island on the route.
On the map, the shape of Spike Island looks like a thorn. Of course, this is just the result of people's speculation based on navigation experience.
In fact, Spike Island is a triangular island, with an area about one-third of Camel Island. The island has abundant water resources and fertile land. The Golden Eagle State has three thousand navy stationed on this island.
The orc warrior's physical strength was still on the verge of exhaustion. Given the current situation, Reggie definitely didn't want to fight the enemy. He wanted to pass the route as quickly as possible during the night, but on the eve of dawn, several small boats appeared behind the warship.
The small boats followed, and then a fight broke out, and the large warships followed, and a fierce battle began under the most favorable conditions in the most familiar sea areas. This is a tactic that the Golden Eagle Kingdom has continued for nearly a hundred years, and it still works every time.
Visibility will greatly affect the hit rate of muskets. Reggie must avoid night battles. He asked the sailors to deal with the small boats with all their strength. When it became brighter, he ordered the ship to slow down.
The boat began to approach quickly, and Yinge, who had sharp eyes, immediately reported the enemy's situation.
The enemy has a total of fifteen small boats, each with ten soldiers on board. They have superior strength and are equipped with the long bow unique to the Golden Eagle Kingdom.
The golden eagle longbow has a shooting range of up to two hundred feet. According to past experience, two rounds of feather arrows can kill nearly half of the enemies.
Yinge was a little nervous. As a mercenary, she had fought against the Golden Eagle Kingdom and suffered losses from longbows, but she also knew the power of muskets. In terms of range and accuracy, muskets were far superior to longbows.
When he saw that the enemy was still five hundred feet away, Reggie asked forty orc warriors to raise their shields, and asked thirty warriors to set up their muskets in the gaps between the shields, and asked the remaining thirty warriors to prepare for the battle.
Prepare..
When they were close to a distance of three hundred feet, Yinge suggested that Reggie strike first, because when the orcs were trained, the shooting distance was three hundred feet.
But Reggie was not in a hurry to fire. He knew the difference between land and sea. Although the orcs were skilled in naval warfare, the shaking deck would inevitably affect the accuracy of shooting. Moreover, the soldiers of the Golden Eagle Kingdom also raised their shields and moved.
The target is inherently difficult to hit, not to mention that the opponent has adequate defense.
Get closer, at least to the distance where the enemy can draw their bows. The orcs are wearing Noroth's armor and holding the shields made by Noroth. They should be able to withstand a round of bow and arrow attacks. However, if the archers want to draw their bows, they must
The body must be exposed outside the bunker. As long as a clear target can be seen, the overwhelming advantage of the musket can be truly demonstrated.
When they reached about two hundred feet, the archers really took action. The height of the small boat was far less than that of the battleship. Since the attack was from its back, the archers jumped half of their bodies from behind the shields and shot arrows at the warriors on the ship.
At the same time, Reggie gave the order to fire.
The muskets launched attacks between the gaps in the shields, without affecting the defensive formation at all. Most of the arrows were blocked by the shields, and only three orcs were injured.
However, the hit rate of the muskets caught the enemy off guard. The thirty musketeers almost fired every shot. After each fired five bullets, they immediately ejected the shells and reloaded. The thirty soldiers who were ready for battle immediately followed and began the first round.
Second round shooting.
There were only three rounds of shooting because Reggie didn't want to waste bullets.
More than a hundred enemy soldiers on fifteen small boats had been killed or injured. Due to inertia, some small boats were still approaching Reggie's warship. Reggie decided to use bombs to send them to the bottom of the sea.
Facts have proved that Reggie still wasted some ammunition, and throwing bombs was unnecessary. The small boats that were capable of escaping had already escaped, and the small boats that rushed to the warship were completely out of control because there were no living people on the small boats.
Since there was indeed no small boat to follow, Reggie ordered to move forward at full speed. He was not afraid of the enemy's warships, but he did not want to fight on the enemy's territory for too long.
After sailing for a whole day, no enemy ships were seen. In fact, the enemy warships did not pursue us at all.
The tactics of the Golden Eagle Kingdom are by no means static and stubborn, otherwise they would not be invincible at sea. They have suffered losses from Reggie, and almost all of their fifteen small boats were annihilated. They must at least understand the meaning of defeat.
Reason, and at the same time, corresponding defenses must be prepared. If Reggie suddenly launches a counterattack, they may lose everything after a nightmare.
But Reggie didn't plan to attack Spike Island, at least not yet. After getting rid of the enemy, he continued along the route and held a celebration that night.
The first victory came too easily, and almost all the orc warriors firmly believed that Reggie had invincible power. Although Flash warned the warriors not to talk nonsense, rumors about the demon orcs began to spread wildly among the army.
"Not to mention the navy of the Golden Eagle Kingdom, even the arrogant Ten Thousand Years Evil Dragon can't withstand a shot from me!" A drunk orc warrior yelled with a musket, as if he owned this musket.
The power to conquer the world.
"Don't boast, man!" Another soldier was also a little drunk. "The evil dragon of ten thousand years is flying in the sky five hundred feet high. Can you hit a seabird five hundred feet high?"
"Why not!" The soldier raised his spear and loaded the bullet, "I will show you what I am capable of today!"
This made Reggie a little worried. The huge gunfire might expose their position to the enemy.
He originally wanted to stop the soldier in a tactful way, but unexpectedly, Yinge suddenly rushed forward and knocked the soldier to the ground with a punch.
The soldier who was knocked down was a little unconvinced. He stood up and wanted to argue with Yinge, but saw Shansha snap his fingers aside, and the soldier went numb all over and fell to the ground again.
"Please forgive their stupidity and ignorance." Yinge knelt down on one knee and apologized to Reggie. Reggie helped Yinge up. Just when he wanted to show off the lord's magnanimity, he heard a pleasant sound of birdsong.
.
Is it a petrel? The cry is as sweet as a song, and these seabirds seem to be singing to celebrate Reggie's victory.
Wait, this seems to be singing. Although there are no lyrics, you can hear the melody.
Ada shouted: "Everyone, block your ears, it's the song of the siren!"
Reggie immediately blocked his ears, but the singing continued to flow into his mind. He had begun to hallucinate. He felt that the warship was not at sea, but had flown into the sky and floated in the clouds.
Ada took a deep breath and let out a sharp cry, which made Reggie wake up.
After shouting several times in a row, the singing around them stopped, but the same sharp shout came from afar.
Ada turned around and said: "Sir, we must leave here. This is the territory of the Kraken. We have offended them."
