Captain Cornell glanced at Captain Lina, the meaning was very obvious, you see the person responsible is coming.
Lina glared at Connell, and on her somewhat wild and sexy face, she squeezed out a soft smile and said: "Captain Gordon, can you tell me why your Majesty summoned us?"
The king's messenger Gordon had a standard poker face and coldly replied: "No."
"Captain Gordon is famous for his loyalty to His Majesty. Captain Lina, please stop embarrassing him. We are all working for His Majesty and we have no selfish motives." Captain Cornell sang in harmony, "Your Majesty.
It is nothing more than wanting to blame us. We just lost the war. It is an indisputable fact that we let the enemy go. No matter how angry His Majesty is and how he seeks responsibility, it is understandable. We will shoulder the responsibility."
"I'm sorry, it's me who has made things difficult for Captain Gordon." The smile on Captain Lina's face became softer, "I can't answer this question, so let's ask another question, how is your majesty's mood now?"
"What do you think?" Gordon asked expressionlessly.
"Ahem..." A flash of anger flashed in Captain Lina's eyes, and she cursed in her heart.
If I knew, would I still need to ask you?
The guy who relies on others' power doesn't even know what he is. He is just a jester, and he really treats himself as a toy.
Don't think that others don't know about the dirty things you did in private. If you offend me, they will be revealed to you and you will die without knowing how.
"His Majesty just broke his most beloved wine glass." After a few seconds, Gordon said coldly.
"Thank you very much, captain. I'll buy you a drink when I get back." Captain Lina replied with a smile.
Gordon's words had already answered Lina's question in disguise. King Stubin had even smashed his favorite thing that he always kept in his hands, so how could he be so angry?
The situation is the worst-case scenario they imagined.
Gordon snorted, and finally answered Captain Lina. He knew that drinking was just a reference, and there would definitely be a bigger reward when the time came. He turned around and walked towards the warship where he came from, "Please two captains, please don't let your majesty
If you wait too long, I will wait for you at the warship."
"Find a sword from the leader of the Evernight Army." Lina said to the guard beside her.
"What do you want to do?" Connell looked confused.
Tsk! Tsk! Tsk!
Captain Lina tore out large pieces of the leather armor on her body and replied: "Your Majesty is a wise person most of the time, but when his emotions are dominated by anger, it is easy to do things that make him
If something extreme happens that we regret, we must find a way to cool down His Majesty's heated mind so that he will listen to our explanation."
"Captain, the sword you want." A guard came up holding an Evernight Saber.
Looking at the Evernight Saber, Captain Cornell suddenly realized: "You mean, by faking the injury, aren't you deceiving His Majesty?"
"Deceiving Your Majesty? No, we are here to help His Majesty understand more clearly the power of the Eternal Night Army's leading formation. In this way, Your Majesty can make correct judgments and layouts in the next battle." Captain Lina spoke.
, he had slashed several times on non-key parts of his body, especially on the chest, where a large section was cut open, revealing a plump outline. Combined with the current miserable appearance, it was very eye-catching.
"But..." Captain Cornell always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't explain it for the moment.
"Should I do it? Or do you do it yourself?" Lina stared at Connell coldly, as if you had already boarded the pirate ship and had to do it even if you didn't want to.
"I'll do it myself." Captain Cornell wisely took the Evernight Saber.
If Lina is allowed to come, who knows whether the other party will give him a severe blow in order to make their experience look more miserable.
Although Cornell had never done anything like this before, he was really self-taught when it came to doing it, and he soon made his appearance very miserable, looking like he was bravely fighting the enemy and narrowly surviving.
When they appeared in front of Captain Gordon with this brand new appearance.
Captain Gordon did not show any surprise, but glanced at the two of them with a meaningful look, and then waved his hand to let the warship return to the flagship Izumo.
"Lina and Cornell are two idiots who have betrayed the trust that the king has placed in them and the trust that the East China Sea has placed in them.
Look at what they did. With 20,000 of their most elite soldiers, they collapsed without a fight and let the enemy run away before their eyes.
The infantry of my third fleet died in vain? Even if they are worthless pigs, this is not what they are used for.
Bastards, I want to chop them with my own hands, I must chop them with my own hands."
Steubin roared angrily, which could be heard clearly even though he was halfway across the sea.
In his opinion, the entire battle to seize the beach was ridiculous and unbelievable.
The infantry of the two legions of the Third Fleet were unable to gain a foothold on the beach from beginning to end.
This can also be explained by the fact that the Yongye military leader has sufficient preparations, and the two legions of the third fleet are just a temporary patchwork.
The collapse of the infantry of the two fleets led by Captain Lena and Captain Cornell is difficult to understand.
They successfully landed ashore, completed the encirclement, and had an absolute military advantage.
The miserable appearance of the two fleet captains shocked Steubin. He knew the strength of the two generals very well. Was the previous battle so fierce?
The Izumo he was stationed in was a bit far away from the battlefield after all, and he could only see the general situation. As for what exactly happened on the battlefield, it was still unknown.
"Your Majesty, it's not that the brothers are not fighting with all their heart, but the enemy is too powerful. I once joined forces with Captain Cornell to lead the attack team to the battle, but the opponent's military formation was more terrifying than we imagined. They combined the soldiers
Combat training has reached an incredible level. Many people work together to use tower shields to restrain the soldiers trapped in it. Let alone ordinary soldiers, even champion knights and great knights will be hacked to death by their swords if they are trapped.
I could only watch helplessly as Boatswain Calorie and Boatswain Earl died in front of me.
We fought desperately to break out of their military formation, not because we were afraid of life or death, but because we wanted to bring news to His Majesty and warn His Majesty.
The leaders of the Eternal Night Army are more difficult to deal with than we expected. Not only are they well-trained military formations, but they also have a very high level of research on magic. The equipment on their bodies is suspected to be the magic armor of the witch secret society, which empowers ordinary soldiers to perform magic.
Legal ability.”
Seeing that his torture plan was taking effect, Captain Lina did not give Stubin a chance to get angry, and directly dropped the most shocking news.
Sure enough, when he heard the name Shujia, Shi Dubin's face visibly condensed and he said coldly: "Shujia? Are you sure?"
"I'm not 100% sure." Captain Lina saw that Steubin's expression changed again and hurriedly added, "But the soldiers of Evernight have the ability to cast spells. This is an indisputable fact. Except for the magic armor of the Witch Conclave,
, I really can’t think of another possibility.”
"Could it be that the Eternal Night Army has secretly formed an alliance with the Conclave of Witches? The Conclave of Witches has shared its top-secret technology with the Eternal Night Army leader? When did the Conclave of Witches become so generous? They have been researching magic armor for several years, how could they easily do it?
Take out your hand?" Steubin muttered to himself.
Compared to the new opponent, the Eternal Night Army Leader, he knows the old opponent, the Witch Conclave, better, including their latest technology.
The two sides have been fighting for so many years and are intricately entangled. You have me, you have me, and there are so many spies and spies that it is too difficult to keep a secret.
"The black gunpowder led by the Yongye Army also has its own uniqueness. It is not certain that the two sides have exchanged technology in the past. There are quite a few Yongye soldiers who can perform magic. This shows that the popularity of magic armor among them is quite high.
This cannot be accomplished overnight, so we must be more cautious in the next step. Who knows whether the women in the witch conclave have shared the manufacturing method of the armored warship." Captain Lina said more and more.
Be convinced that your guess is correct.
Because only in this way can we clearly explain the reason why Yongye soldiers used magic at critical moments.
This is far easier to accept than every Eternal Night soldier being a warlock.
"These haunting guys, even if we get to the East China Sea, we can't get rid of them completely." Steubin cursed fiercely, then glared at Fleet Captain Lina and said, "Even if all the soldiers of the Ever Night are wearing
The magic armor is not a reason for you to open the gap without permission and let them evacuate calmly. Is there anything else you want to say?"
"When the battle damage statistics of both sides come out, His Majesty will know why we ordered to open the gap and let them retreat." Captain Lina said with a sad face, "The battle damage ratio is too large. On the entire battlefield,
All we see are the corpses of our soldiers, but there are very few of the other side. At the cost of the infantry of the First Fleet and Second Fleet being destroyed, is it worth keeping them?
At least I think it's not worth it, because the war has just begun and other deployments have not yet been fully put in place.
Large-scale legion operations have never been what we are best at. Water warfare and sneak attacks and sabotage are what we are best at.
We only need to break through their water defense line and defeat their water power. Jiangmen Port is an orphan hanging outside. No matter how powerful their infantry combat capabilities are, they will be trapped alive by us.
There are better options, so why fight to the death when the odds are against you?
Preserving our vitality is what we need to do most at the moment. Anyway, our main goal is to log in, which has not been successful.
The most important thing is to keep the military strength strong enough. As long as this is ensured, the leader of the Yongye Army will have some scruples no matter what he does."
Captain Lina had obviously already thought of a reason to deal with Steubin, and he spoke right away.
"What you did, from a strategic point of view, is indeed fine, but I don't like the way you fooled me." Steubin's cold eyes fell on Captain Lina's wound, "Can you please fake the wound next time?"
When you make it more realistic, the position and direction of what the enemy stabs will be different from what you draw."
"Your Majesty is wise, and I can't hide anything from you." Lina looked sincerely convinced, "We never wanted to fool your Majesty, we just wanted to calm him down and give us a chance to explain. We are willing to accept all punishments."
"The death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be avoided. Each of you will be punished by one hundred lashes. Since the war is coming, I will note it down for the time being and punish it together after the victory." Steubin said coldly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. We will definitely fight the enemy bravely and make up for our mistakes."
"Thank you, Your Majesty Kane."
Lena and Connell hurriedly thanked him.
They knew about the matter and put it aside for the time being.
If the ensuing war goes well and Jiangmen Port is successfully captured, this sentence of whipping may be avoided.
If the war goes unfavorably, then no one will get anything good to eat, and this flogging will naturally be irrelevant.
Soon the casualties of this beach resistance battle were tallied.
A total of more than 6,500 Donghai soldiers were killed, more than 1,800 were missing, and more than 5,000 were injured.
As for the exact number of casualties of the Yong Ye Army Leader, Shi Dubin was not able to obtain it.
The leader of Yong Ye's army retreated too calmly, and the battlefield was completely cleaned. Not only did they take away all the wounded, but they didn't even leave a few dead soldiers behind.
It can only be estimated based on the situation shown by the opponent. The total casualties will never exceed a thousand, otherwise the battlefield would not be so clean.
Just like Captain Lina said, such a comparison of battle losses is really scary.
Steubin felt frightened just by looking at the numbers, let alone the soldiers charging ahead. He couldn't help but secretly feel lucky that Captain Lina made a smart decision to stop the loss in time.
I couldn't help but worry that if the infantry led by Yong Ye's army and the Donghai soldiers who dispersed to plunder the Donau Plain were so ferocious, they would also suffer heavy losses.
But there is no turning back when the bow is fired, and with so many troops, they can't just give up halfway because of a fierce blocking attack by the opponent, right?
If this is the case, they will just stay at home and wait for the leader of the Yongye Army to come to kill them!
The only thing that Steubin could do was to send his own envoys to catch up with the scattered marauding army and warn them of the ferocity of the infantry led by the Yongye Army, and not to engage in a head-on confrontation with them unless absolutely necessary.
I believe those experienced bosuns should know what they mean.
In view of Captain Lina's caution in protecting the East China Sea infantry to the greatest extent, Shi Dubin appointed her as the commander-in-chief of the infantry this time, taking full charge of all matters concerning the infantry's siege of Jiangmen Port.
Captain Lina, who was deeply aware of the ferocious combat effectiveness of the infantry led by the Yong Ye Army, was very cautious in the subsequent deployment of troops. The five thousand fleet infantry who had landed and repaired remained in a group and slowly advanced towards Jiangmen Port.
Keep pace with the East China Sea Fleet's advance on the Donau River.
The East China Sea Fleet has indeed explored a set of mine clearance methods.
This demining method is not complicated at all, but it is quite cumbersome.
First, they sent water ghosts into the river to find a safe path, and then sent two small warships to go side by side, dragging fishing nets and violently clearing mines.
Although the speed is a bit slow, it is very effective.
The mines deployed in the Donau River, no matter how dense they are, are limited. If you push them slowly, there will always be a moment when they are all discharged.
Naturally, the leader of the Yongye Army could not just sit back and watch them clear mines so easily. The Explorer Navy appeared from time to time to harass them, and the Longbow Corps also appeared from time to time, showering them with several waves of rockets on the shore.
The results were average.
The three giant Dreadnought-class sailing ships of the East China Sea Fleet followed closely behind the demining team. Once the Explorer Navy led by the Yongye Army attacked, they would not waste any time, using all kinds of black powder shotguns and black powder barrel bombs.
