Chapter 247: The Fierce Battle Is Coming

We can't fight. It's not the time for a decisive battle yet. We have plenty of ammunition and the soldiers are in good condition. However, there is still a long way to go from here to Shazhou City. We may face more battles on the way back and on the way back.

Reggie decided to retreat temporarily. Although the island full of bituminous coal made him excited, but if he wanted to completely occupy this island, he had to capture the previous Spiked Island as well. Otherwise, he would not be able to defend Blackstone Island and there was no way.

Send these precious coals back to Broken Snow City safely.

Leave it to the Golden Eagle Country first, since this island is worthless in their hands anyway.

The person who came to chase Reggie was the lord of this island, Diahtomi Tokton. He was the first Golden Eagle to fight Reggie. He had gone to Shattering Snow City to persuade him to surrender, and he had also come up with a surprise.

He wanted Reggie's life, but was completely defeated by Reggie, with countless soldiers killed and injured, and more than a dozen battleships lost.

The Falcon warship that Reggie is currently riding on is one of them.

After that battle, Diahto was severely punished by the king. He spent almost all his property and barely managed to keep his title.

But his fiefdom was ruthlessly deprived of it by the king, and was replaced by this lonely barren land on the sea.

Because there was no way to survive on Blackstone Island, Diahto could only live on Spike Island. Naturally, this island could not provide him with any income. Its only value was to temporarily preserve his reputation and dignity as a viscount.

But even this dignity was almost taken away by Reggie.

"Damn ghost, it's such a devil that can't be driven away!" Diakhto shouted, "What does he want to do here! Is it just to cause trouble for me?"

"There are two possibilities, my lord," Maxwell came to Diahto's side. After the last defeat on Camel Island, Maxwell was also punished and he returned to Diahto's command.

, living a hard life with him, "One possibility is that Reggie Victor's warship was damaged, and he wanted to do some rest and recuperation here. If we take advantage of the situation and pursue him, we may make great achievements."

"Don't be stupid," Diachto shook his head. "Look at the speed of that warship. It definitely doesn't look like it has suffered heavy damage. I don't want to find bad luck on him. Let me tell you about another possibility.

Bar."

"Another possibility is that there is something he wants on this island," Maxwell lowered his voice, "Reggie Victor is very good at digging for treasures. I heard some news when I was on Camel Island.

He found a lot of urine wax, and also found the orbs of the Crystal Palace. Not only the orbs, but also the gorgeous drinking utensils, maybe there are similar treasures on Blackstone Island."

This conclusion makes Diahuto very satisfied. Since he took over the island, he has only landed twice, and each time brought him endless tears and sadness. He has never completely inspected this territory.

Maybe there really are some unknown secrets hidden in it.

Diagheto ordered the island to be docked and had soldiers conduct a detailed search on the island to ensure that no inch of land was spared.

Soon, he found the hole Reggie had dug in the ground. Diachto smiled, and so did Maxwell.

"The treasure is down there!"

"Yes, sir, the hole is so small, he shouldn't be able to take away the treasure."

"Reggie Victor," Diachto's voice was trembling, "You finally helped me. Guess what's going to be below?"

"It's a gold mine, it must be a gold mine!"

"Come here, bring all the tools and smash this rock open for me!" Diachto shed tears, "Knight Maxwell, we have finally waited for this day."

Maxwell's eyes also turned red: "Sir, following you is the honor of my life."

"Don't say that, Maxwell Knight, I should be grateful for your persistence."

"Viscount Mitocton, I am willing to give everything I have for you!"



Reggie had been gone for five days, and Chris finally found out about the Kingdom of Lane. An army composed of forty wizards, two thousand cavalry, and one thousand orcs was approaching Zhilin City.

There were still three thousand troops, which didn't look like much, but this really shocked Chris. According to the spy's report, all the cavalry and orcs came from the Wolf Kingdom.

What kind of bargaining chip did Charlemagne give the Wolf Country to make such a huge investment?

Moreover, Charlemagne used mercenaries from the beginning to the end and kept nothing himself. This is obviously not the style of the Lion Kingdom.

Did Charlemagne intend to preserve his strength, or was the war in the south keeping him from getting away?

This is also unlikely. The Lion Kingdom is the initiator of this war. Now Charlemagne is standing still and letting the mercenaries charge into the battle. The Benlang Kingdom is not a fool. Even if there is the temptation of profit, they cannot suffer such a loss.

As for the evil spirits in the south, Charlemagne has never paid attention to them. If it really got out of hand, Charlemagne would not choose to attack Shattering Snow City at this time.

There must be a conspiracy behind this. After thinking for a whole day, Chris sent several spies to the country of Bayer. The north was so quiet that it made Chris feel cold all over.



Two days later, Reggie arrived at Changqing Island and drove all the way south. Reggie clearly felt the climate change. The spring breeze in Broken Snow City was still slightly cold, but the hot summer had already entered.

Reggie likes summer, he likes the vibrant appearance of everything, and he also likes the unique scenery in summer, especially the scenery around him.

Camilla is still wearing a mage's robe, and her sweaty clothes always cling tightly to her body. Yinge and Ada have already changed into cool summer clothes, and the limited fabrics perfectly set off their pretty figures.

Of course, while enjoying the scenery, Reggie must also remain vigilant at all times. Evergreen Island is very close to the shipping route, and they may be attacked by the Golden Eagle Navy at any time.

The area of ​​this island is about the same as that of Camel Island. Because it is close to the White Tower Kingdom, the Golden Eagle Empire has deployed a total of 7,000 navy personnel on the island for defense. With the current strength, it will be difficult for Reggie to capture this island without unnecessary effort.

Under these circumstances, Reggie did not want to start a war with the Golden Eagle Nation in this sea area. Starting a war on the doorstep of the White Tower Nation would not only arouse the disgust of the White Tower Nation, but could even be interpreted as a provocative act.

Reggie chose to stay as far away from Changqing Island as the route allowed, but at noon, they still encountered the Golden Eagle Fleet, a large fleet composed of twenty warships.

Twenty warships lined up on the sea, making Reggie feel an unprecedented sense of oppression. He asked the soldiers to concentrate all their weapons and prepare for a life-and-death battle with the enemy. In this case, you can no longer count on muskets and fifty rockets.

and thirty incendiary bombs are the key to victory or defeat. These fifty rockets use nitrated starch as propellant. They can maintain stable flight within three hundred feet. As long as twenty rockets can hit the enemy ship, this battle will be over.

There is nearly a 50% chance of winning.

In addition, Reggie also prepared two hydrogen balloons on the ship, each equipped with four incendiary bombs. Since Natalie stayed in Shattered Snow City, these two balloons could only be tied to the ship with ropes.

, if the rocket fails to stop the enemy's offensive, Reggie will use a hydrogen balloon to conduct a close attack.

The two sides were in a stalemate at sea for a long time. The Golden Eagle Fleet took the lead in blowing the horn. Reggie measured the wind speed and prepared to launch the hydrogen balloon into the air. Shansha stood on the bow and shouted: "The enemy is coming!

"

Reggie ordered everyone to prepare for battle. An orc soldier was about to light the first rocket when he heard Yinge shout: "Wait a minute!"

She handed the telescope to Reggie and said, "It's just a ship."
