Just when this inconspicuous night attack on the Western Front was over, it was already bright. On the battlefield of Piripi Island, four of Chris' super god puppets had joined in the battle against the demons.
during the battle.
The four god puppets lived up to expectations and used magic attacks to suppress the demon fleet trying to land on the sea near Piripi Island.
Chris Puppet No. 3 used fire-based magic to attack the fleet, and Puppet No. 4 entangled the demon general who went out to fight. The entire demon fleet was in a passive state of being beaten, and could not even retreat.
Blocked by the Ailanthil fleet, more and more Ailanthil Air Force bombers launched their attacks in the sky. Soon, most of the remaining warships of this demon fleet were lost. The demon fleet heading north
There is also no ability to attack at all.
Lawns stood on the bridge of the battleship Conquest, looking at the Airan Hill T800 puppet flying in the distance, looking at the dazzling magic, and was a little distracted for a moment.
The battleship under his feet was still firing non-stop, with the 305mm main gun firing again and again, sending deadly shells into the middle of the already chaotic demon fleet.
The Victory and other cruisers following the battleship Conquest were firing non-stop, shells flying out one after another without any mercy.
"Report!" Just when Reigns was in a daze, an officer came up behind him and reported with regret: "Commander, the battleship Hero has lost all power, and it is no longer possible to repair it and stop the loss."
"A few minutes ago, the flooding was out of control, and efforts to release water to balance the pitching angle of the battleship failed..." After the officer finished speaking, he stood there, waiting for Genesis's order.
Lawns was silent for a few seconds before giving the order: "Give up the rescue! Let all the sailors on the Hero withdraw! Then let the Hero sink on its own."
Although we are reluctant to part with it, the battleship Hero is no longer salvageable. Instead of wasting time there and risking the lives of sailors, we should be more decisive and abandon the battleship to save all precious sailors.
When the officer heard General Lawns' order, he immediately stood at attention, saluted, and turned to deliver the order from the flagship.
Lawns continued to look at the sea over there, watching the shells fired from his warships fall on those demonic warships that were distracted.
On the demon battleship that was in a dilemma at this moment, a demon commander looked up at the falling floating castle, his eyes filled with despair.
He entered this world through the magic eye, and he came to the world wanting to conquer this place. But now, he had to admit that it would take a long, long time to conquer this world.
"Turn! Avoid the impact! The floating castle will cause huge waves if it falls into the sea! Be prepared for impact!" He pressed his sword and ordered his men.
In the distance, the floating castle with the damaged floating magic circle was exploding and disintegrating. Due to its own weight, countless stones began to collapse during the fall.
The magic castle, which had lost the restraints of countless magic circles, could not bear its own weight at all. The buildings above were collapsing, and the once powerful magic cannons were also exploding and destroyed during the collapse.
The demon soldiers in the castle were all fleeing, but they, who could not fly, knew very well that no matter where they fled in the end, death and destruction were waiting for them.
They will sink to the bottom of the sea along with this castle and drown there. And the nearby Pilipi Island is a place they will never be able to reach.
A huge stone fell into the sea, and the waves caused overturned a demon warship that was on fire and had lost power.
The demon battleship tilted sideways in the waves, and then capsized directly on the sea. The demon soldiers on the battleship sank into the cold water before they had time to shout for help.
Only the bottom of a battleship was still exposed on the sea, swaying little by little with the waves. Soon, the bottom of the ship also disappeared on the sea, as if there was nothing here.
It's not like there weren't some demon soldiers who were lucky enough to come ashore. After all, when their battleship sank, they were already very close to the coastline.
These demon soldiers who barely washed up on the beach finally gave the Marine Corps an advantage. They killed about 150 demon soldiers, all of whom were scattered ashore. There were also some corpses washed ashore by the sea water.
lined up along the coastline.
Just these few hundred soldiers made the 1st Marine Division of Eiland Hill excited for a long time. They did destroy all the enemy troops who landed, and even wiped out all the enemy soldiers on the beach...
Under everyone's gaze, and amid the exclamations of many soldiers, the huge floating castle fell to the sea, and was then swallowed up by the sea water.
When it was swallowed by the sea water, those magic energy liquids were still exploding. The instability of magic energy was evident.
Most of the nearby warships were overturned and sank by the big waves caused by the crash of the fortress, and the remaining ones didn't know whether they were lucky or unlucky.
Although they were not immediately affected by the crashed castle, they still had to face constant harassment and attacks from the Airansil navy.
Those cruisers with fast speeds and relatively small gun calibers were like gangrene that could not be dissipated, and their guns could not escape or hit them, causing the remaining demon officers and soldiers to collapse.
The demon commander who just ordered the turnaround kept his battleship in good condition. But he also knew that if he persisted here, he would be sunk by the opponent sooner or later.
Unfortunately, with his poor wisdom, he couldn't come up with any good plan to get out of the unfavorable situation he was facing now.
…
At the same time, in the huge castle of His Majesty the Emperor in the distant Seris City, the capital of Ireland, a secretary handed the latest report to Chris: "Your Majesty, I just got the news that many merchants are currently exchanging money.
gold."
Ireland began to use banknotes a few years ago, as well as some bonds circulating in factories. These paper products are actually a kind of currency, a means of replacing metal currencies such as gold and silver coins.
After obtaining countless war benefits, as well as a large amount of gold provided by Grecken and other countries, Eiland Hill has established a fairly sufficient gold reserve.
However, even so, it cannot keep up with the deliberate inflation rate over the years. There are trillions of banknotes issued in Ireland, but the currency that actually has gold coin reserves is only one-tenth at most, or even
Just one-twentieth that much.
This situation is not a problem at all if the government has a good reputation and the war is full of benefits.
But once the war becomes passive and someone starts exchanging gold coins on a large scale, serious problems will arise.
"How much?" Chris put down the summary report on the implementation progress of the "Left Hook Plan" in his hand, looked at the secretary who came to deliver the news, and asked: "Who are they?"
He asked two questions in total. One question was to know how many gold coins were exchanged for this premeditated exchange.
The second question was interesting. He wanted to know who in the country was in crisis and still acted in small ways regardless of justice.
The secretary said a number that made Chris slightly reassured, and then began to read the names one after another.
These names often appear in various radio reports, and some of them have even appeared on television. They are all very wealthy chaebols and capitalists with astonishing net worth.
With the rise of the empire, those who invested money in the early stage received huge dividends, and the dividends were so large that people were jealous.
But unfortunately, these people began to become greedy, and at this time, they did such little tricks behind their backs. This made Chris very angry and even made him murderous.
"There's not a single person who can stand up to the table?" After the secretary read the names of the guys who exchanged gold coins, Chris was a little surprised.
Except for the royal family, several large families at the top of the empire, such as the Longtate family, did not take any action during this exchange crisis.
"None of them! Your Majesty! These big families are very honest. Most of them even donated a large sum of imperial bonds to express their willingness to support His Majesty the Emperor and the continuation of the war at hand." The secretary quickly replied.
"Interesting! Really interesting!" Chris nodded, seeming to be very satisfied with the secretary's answer.
"I heard that Mr. Des has been very busy recently. He killed several important figures in the family to scare the disobedient elders." The secretary saw Chris's tone slowing down and guessed that the emperor's mood seemed to be slightly better.
Some, so he softly told an anecdote.
"Ha! This guy! He's really watertight." The frost on Chris's face gradually faded away, revealing a smile.
As the patriarch of a traditional aristocracy, he can use lynching to deal with internal affairs within his family. This was expressly allowed by the previous law and would not be sanctioned.
This is also the reason why Des finally became the head of the family and was able to deal with those disobedient old guys.
"It seems that each of these families that can stand for hundreds of years is not simple! It's interesting without getting into trouble! It's really interesting." Chris muttered a few words, and then picked up the portion he had just put down.
I read the battle report on the Western Front carefully.
The secretary also knew that His Majesty the Emperor no longer took this matter to heart. After all, without the support of those big and respectable families, these people would never be able to cause trouble.
Therefore, he bowed slightly, not daring to disturb His Majesty the Emperor's work, and quietly exited the office——
