"Oh my God!" Verne, who had excellent eyesight, was naturally the first to exclaim: "The church has been planning a large-scale siege from the beginning? Seriously?"
"Probably because I didn't receive regular contact from the owl, I knew that the [big fish] was caught, so the fleet guarding the [inn] came out in full force." Arthur said: "But, twenty-one. I really
It's overrated."
Assuming that each ship has the same configuration as the enemies encountered before, then there are two papal knights and five papal crusaders on board; then there are a total of forty-two papal knights and five papal crusaders on the twenty-one ships.
One hundred and five Holy See Crusaders---it can be said to be a mighty army.
Such a large army, just to eliminate Arthur and his party. How terrifying this is. If these guys are allowed to land smoothly, no matter how brave and skilled Arthur's companions are, they will definitely be overwhelmed by the opponent's human sea tactics!
Therefore, [pre-emptive strike] and [preventing the opponent from landing] are the key to this battle. The only advantage that Arthur and his team currently have is that their opponents do not know that they are lurking here. The enemy fleet thought that Arthur and his party were staying here
I spent the night in Bastia, Corsica, thinking I could ambush Arthur, but I didn't expect that Arthur had already gone around to such a place to ambush him!
"Indeed, confirmed! The sails are indeed filled with the coat of arms of the Holy See!" Verne added: "They are all here to cause trouble for us!"
"Bedi, prepare your Fenrir Golem." Arthur ordered: "Verne, how fast can your [Legion---Gun Formation] fire continuously?"
"Six golems fired in volley, and then, um, I don't know, there was about ten seconds of reloading time, and then six more volleys fired." The boy was a little panicked.
"Calm down." Arthur said without emotion: "After the war starts, I will use [Part-Winged Angel] to protect you. You don't have to worry about defense, just attack in full force. I will use [Part-Winged Angel] to attack all enemy shells."
Block it."
Even if it is impossible to attack from this distance, Arthur's [Legion---Winged Angels] still has an automatic defense mode and can protect friendly forces. The Holy See's fleet only has very ancient artillery from this era as a means of long-range attack.
They may be able to shoot bows and arrows, but they certainly won't be able to shoot far. Arthur's side has an absolute advantage in firepower and defense, and they can also launch sneak attacks! As long as they annihilate the Vatican's fleet as soon as possible and prevent the enemy from approaching the island, Arthur and the others can
Never lose!
To completely destroy the opposing fleet, at least four waves of attacks are required. There is a 20-second reloading time after six rounds. Not counting the time of the first sneak attack, the total four waves of attacks will take at least one minute. And each attack must be
Sink a ship.
This plan seems a bit unrealistic.
The opponent is now sailing downwind at full speed, and the speed is quite fast. Within a minute, it is close enough to the island to a threatening distance. If Verne failed to sink a ship with one blow, then in the worst case, at least there would be
Five to six ships successfully logged in. It was still a human sea tactic, which would be very disadvantageous for Arthur.
But wait, since the other party is coming with the wind, it also means------
"Change of plan, Verne." Arthur ordered: "Don't attack the hull, aim at the sails and shoot. First paralyze and paralyze the enemy ship."
"If they don't sink the ship first, they will fire their cannons, right?"
"[The Winged Angels] will all be blocked." Arthur said: "Bedi will take care of those ships that have lost their mobility. You just focus on defeating more sails. If you want to do that, use a large crossbow to shoot
You can destroy the sails of two or three ships with just one breath, right?"
"Maybe."
"Try to do it! ...Anyway, let the battle begin!"
Swish, swish, swish! As soon as he finished speaking, six large crossbow arrows flew out. Arthur thought that Verne had to wait for the ship to get closer before attacking, but he did not expect that the fighting force would start at this distance. The six crossbow arrows raised four
At an angle of fifteen degrees, it drew an extremely long arc in the air, and finally landed on the sails of the Holy See fleet from a distance! From this distance, Arthur couldn't see what was going on, but he could vaguely see it.
A ship's sail has been broken!
The first wave of attacks was so beautiful that the local fleet fell into chaos instantly. They didn't even know what was going on, and they hadn't figured out who was attacking them from that angle.
Yes. There is a vast sea around them, and the only island away from the fleet is so far away. They never imagined that a crossbow arrow would hit the fleet from such a distance and destroy their sails!
The [Gun Array] begins to load. Such a large and powerful crossbow will naturally take a long time to load; the golem probably also needs time to recharge before it can launch an ultra-long-range crossbow for sniping.
Arthur could have used some more tricks on these crossbow arrows to increase the lethality of the crossbow arrows. However, the opponent's fleet was not close enough to discover Arthur and others. In order not to expose himself, Arthur decided to continue
Wait.
And Bedivere has summoned [Legion---Wolf King], instantly jumped on the back of [Fenrir Golem], and walked on the waves. He can reach the local fleet in tens of seconds,
To create chaos!
About four ships with broken masts were left behind the fleet, and the remaining sailboats with intact functions continued to advance closer to the island!
[Gun array] was loaded. Verne had already adjusted the firing angle of the gun array during the loading process. As soon as they were loaded, they immediately shot out large crossbow arrows, and another wave of arrows poured into the enemy array!
Bang, bang, bang! Due to the close distance, Arthur could clearly hear the sound of the opposite fleet's mast being broken and the deck being knocked through this time. Well done to Verne! The second wave of crossbows accurately hit the four sailing ships.
Loss of mobility at the same time!
Reload! The opponent has also completely discovered Arthur's little move and is starting to prepare for a counterattack. Naturally, Arthur doesn't need to hide anymore. He uses [Alchemy Gloves] to enchant the arrows of the reloading crossbow with [Flame], and they are blazing.
Burn up and turn into a brilliance like fishing fire in the night!
Bang bang bang bang! A large wave of artillery shells came, the old-fashioned, thick, solid lead balls! But they were too heavy, and the opponent was too anxious to fight back. Their parabolas were completely wrong, and they fell into the sea halfway.
There is no threat to Arthur at all!
There was a fully functional ship that was split into two parts in the middle, probably by Bediwell's hand. Chaos began to spread in the enemy formation. The church army probably did not expect that there would be a big metal wolf wandering back and forth in the sea, chipping away at their
Boat!
The [Gun Array] was loaded again! This time its arrows were burning with blazing fire! Six bright fires streaked through the night sky, turning into destructive fireballs and falling into the group of ships that were as helpless as lambs.
The fire burned and spread at an alarming speed. Verne was a smart child. The moment King Arthur lit the arrow, he understood its owner's intention and knew where to aim. A crossbow bolt stopped a ship obviously.
If it is not enough, multiple sailing ships should be put into trouble with the help of fire, so as to maximize the "enemy-controlling ability" of the crossbow! A flaming crossbow fell between the two ships behind and penetrated the sail of one of the ships.
, ignited it, landed on the deck of the other ship, and also set the deck on fire, so that the two ships could not move. Another flame bolt hit the mast of the other ship, breaking it
The object also caused the flaming mast to hit another ship next to it, setting that ship on fire! The other four arrows simply destroyed the sails and masts of the three ships, rendering them incapacitated!
So far, the Holy See's large fleet of twenty-one ships had been destroyed, sixteen ships! No, seventeen ships! With another violent impact, the Warg Golem Fenrir broke another warship in half.
! But the remaining four sailboats also rushed towards the island with all their strength. They not only used their sails, but also used their oars to row with all their strength to accelerate and sprint towards the island at a very high speed!
"Oops! It's too late to reload...!" Verne shouted, a little anxious.
"Patience! Let them get closer first!" Arthur shouted. A large wave of shells came, from those four ships, and from other ships that had not been sunk. [Legion---Part-Winged Angel]
Appear, instantly put up your wings to form a defensive formation!
Dong dong dong dong dong! A large number of cannons and shells fell near the cliff, making holes in the hard cliff! But there are actually only a few cannons and shells that can threaten the King of Knights and the others. The Winged Angel Knight
The golems rushed forward and directly parried with their wings, successfully deflecting the threatening parabola bombardment! On the ship, the enemy's only means of attack was bombardment. This was the biggest miscalculation of the Pope Knights!
When Arthur fended off the opponent's attack, he did not forget to add enchantment to the crossbow arrows of [Lance Formation], but this time he used not [Fire], but [Deep Cold]! The crossbow arrows glowing with frosty white light have a coldness close to absolute zero.
, if it hits the opponent, even the enemy's flesh and blood may be instantly frozen!
"You know what I plan to do, right?" Arthur chuckled.
"Understood." Verne smiled, and that smile was full of wisdom.
------Reverse your thinking!
It's loaded, but the turret needs to be charged to shoot far and powerfully, so normally you have to wait until it is fully charged before launching the next attack! But if Verne's target is not the enemy's ship at all, things are different.
!
Arthur said that he just stopped the enemy's ship from approaching, but he didn't say that he must hit the enemy's ship! Use other means to prevent the enemy from getting closer. Will it be fine soon?
Swish, swish, swish! Six large siege crossbow arrows with deep cold enchantment were fired in a row. Because they were not fully charged, they were not powerful enough and could not fly far, posing no threat to the fleet at all!
But they drew a high parabola and landed directly on the sea. The moment they touched the sea water, it froze, forming a natural iceberg next to the island! The iceberg also expanded at an alarming rate, because of the "deep cold enchantment" on the sea.
"Absolutely Freezing", with excellent transferability in water!
Formed by natural freezing and crystallization, the huge glacier wall covered with sharp ice spikes grew and took shape in a few seconds, perfectly blocking the fleet's sprint trajectory!
The four sailing ships that rushed towards them rowed at the highest speed, thinking that they could escape the sniper attack, but they did not expect that they would run into the death trap set by their opponents!
