Chapter 944

"The assassin sent by the imperial court failed, and the enemy was ready long ago."

On the flagship of the elf fleet, a young elf held a single telescope and looked at the port, with a slight arc in the corner of his mouth.

The purple Phnom Penh sleeveless windbreaker and the bottom lined robe set off the tall head, and the white snow like long hair tied into a horsetail looks very capable and straight; The warriors surrounded behind them held dark blue battle flags, and the eagle heraldry outlined in gold on the flags fluttered in the sea wind with pure white sails.

The deck was quiet, and the fully armed Elven warriors stood in two rows on the side of the young elves, pressing the handle of the knife and waiting for orders.

"Well, it seems that the guy named Loren Turin opposite is a man who is very good at demagoguery - he uses our assassins to arouse the morale of his warriors. Eboden is already a strong fortress waiting for battle."

With a smile, the young elf looked behind him: "it's worth your praise, so that even the chief of the imperial court can miss, Lori."

Lori ZAD, the chief warrior of the imperial court, stood respectfully behind him and nodded slightly.

"I'm very sorry. It's a capital crime to fail to achieve his Majesty's mission." the fairy girl's milk voice and milk airway lowered her head and blindfolded her eyes: "although there is a reason, Lori is willing to bear any punishment measures."

"Don't be so serious. I'm not blaming you; besides... Just look at the color of our hair. I also have the blood of the ZAD family."

The young elf smiled carelessly and looked back to the distant port: "besides, if the opponent is too bad, even the game will become very boring, won't it?"

Lori, who still hung her head, neither refuted nor agreed.

Because the other party is the son of the eagle king... Although it is only the last son.

Rodriya Azores, as a "Little Prince", is not as dandy as he looks.

Even on the contrary, among the rumors in the Kingdom, he is the most promising one to inherit the throne.

He has become a warrior at a young age and has traveled to every corner of the kingdom; Duel with all kinds of warriors again and again to sharpen their blade; Poetry, musical instruments, chess and painting are all excellent. They are almost the best model and template of Azores Elven warriors.

Even the speed of sharpening the state of mind and practicing the way of samurai is one of the best; If it were not for the royal family and could not be selected into the "Four Courts", the little prince could at least serve as the deputy chief of the court.

It is precisely because of its reputation and outstanding ability that we can undertake the important mission of attacking and seizing the port of eboden and opening the gate of the Empire for the Azores.

In the view of the Elven warriors who support the little prince of Rodriguez, this war is the battle for the fame of his highness Rodriguez, and it is also the only way for him to officially become the heir to the throne and inherit the throne in the near future!

But Lori ZAD served the little prince not for this reason, but because rodriya's hair was as white as snow.

The other party's body is flowing with the blood of the ZAD family. It is the decision of the family to assist him.

She also knew that the other party didn't want their help - although she was blind, Lori could still hear their "expressions" in a person's voice.

His highness Rodriguez regarded the war as his own game; He doesn't want the "help" of any warrior. He just needs to execute his orders and loyal chess pieces.

The appearance of Loren Turin gave him a "surprise". He is eager to fight with a strong opponent; He wants to win, but he doesn't want to win. It's too easy, too monotonous and too boring.

That's why he sent a flawed Assassin - Lauren died, so he took advantage of the attack to attack eboden; Loren is alive, that's what he wants.

As for the life and death of the warrior, it doesn't matter to him at all.

Even this war is equally irrelevant to him, because his highness rodria will win... The difference is only how many sacrifices and chips to pay, that's all.

For him, only the "great righteousness" that determines the life and death of the whole Azores is important.

Maybe so, maybe

"Now that the opposite side is ready, let's not let them down too much." rodria smiled and looked up at the sun about to sink into the sea level:

"It's still some time before dark... Well, just give them a big enough fireworks show before dark."

"Do you want to attack, your highness?" the elf warrior holding the dark blue flag came forward: "if we raid at night, the enemy who is not fully prepared is definitely not our opponent."

"With your permission, I am willing to be the first to insert the eagle flag on the top of eboden's Tower..."

"No, order all warships to approach the harbor of eboden and prepare our farthest range launcher to aim at the enemy's wall and the tallest tower." the elf Prince interrupted the Warrior:

"No matter how sudden, the opposite side is also the largest port city of the Empire - rashly approaching such a noble woman can only be self defeating."

"All brave warriors, put down your right hand holding the handle of the knife, and we will not attack tonight;

Tonight, we should first enjoy the panic of the enemy! "

Put down the telescope, the little prince's face showed a cunning smile.

……………………………………

"The enemy is about to attack." standing on the observation platform of the high tower, the black haired wizard overlooks the slowly approaching "white line" in the distance and holds his hands on the wall pier:

"Lucian, let the demon hunter on the wing of the sky send orders to the defenders of the circular fortress and the ancient castle, waiting for my flag command - as long as all the flags on the tower are raised at the same time, pull the chain to seal the sea immediately and block the enemy out of the port!"

"Yes!"

Without hesitation, Lucian immediately carried out the order.

"Almost all of the enemy's fleets are large warships. If it's so late and the wind is not enough to support the sails, they shouldn't be in a hurry."

The calm and cautious Earl of fury castle, Eckert, observed the trend of the elf fleet in the distance, frowned slightly and said, "if we close the port immediately, will our garrison be exposed in advance?"

The dark haired wizard hesitated for a moment and then shook his head: "no, I'm not afraid they'll attack immediately; on the contrary, if the enemy can sneak in at night, we just need to beat it hard once and the opposite side will be honest."

"What we should really worry about is whether the enemy will use long-range projection weapons to attack several walls and fortresses in front of us from offshore positions."

"Once it is close, the temporary fortifications outside the circular fortress and the defense line near the port will not be guaranteed - eboden's wall is very fragile and can't withstand several rounds of attacks!"

Count Eckert's eyes moved closer to the distance, looked at the walls close to the coast on both sides of the circular fortress, and immediately understood it.

"If the Azores' warships are really similar to the imperial ocean going ships, the catapults and catapults loaded on them can take up to 300 steps - pulling the chain can at least ensure that the enemy can not threaten us without landing."

"What about our projection weapons?" Ike nodded and looked up to the side of the circular fortress: "consul corona told me that there is a giant catapult that can hit 500 steps in the circular fortress."

"I know, but don't move - eboden's preparation time is still too short. There are only six such big guys; I want to threaten the flagship of the elf fleet at a critical time. I can't move."

The black haired wizard shook his head and turned his eyes to both sides: "get the catapults and catapults on both sides of the tower ready to attract the enemy's attention here."

"The tower under our feet is the commanding height of the whole battlefield. As long as the enemy is not stupid, he will hit here first with projection weapons - pull the chain when he approaches and aims to surprise him!"

"What if the enemy didn't attack the tower, but first targeted the ancient castle or circular fortress?" count Eckert was still worried and held the sword handle in his right hand: "besides, you're using yourself as bait. It's too dangerous."

"That's why we should prepare the catapults on both sides of the tower and give the enemy a little more power."

Loren narrowed his eyes, opened his eyes of "beyond perception" and focused on the flagship of the elf Fleet: "this is gambling. The bet is who can smile and see the rising sun tomorrow tonight."

"The fight is to see which side is' fooled 'and show more cards first."

Eckert didn't ask any more questions.

The top of the high tower blown by the sea breeze is very quiet at the moment.

Twenty Bain Knights formed a "hollow square" around the wall pier. A fallen Golden Lion Flag with a black background was placed at their feet. They stood motionless and waited for orders.

The black haired wizard stood at the edge of the wall stack, his hands unnaturally behind him, rubbing his fingers and waiting without saying a word.

In the distant sea, the elf fleet has begun to act - the flagship is still in place, but the warships on both wings have begun to approach. It seems that they intend to concentrate their forces from both wings to attack the circular fortress and the ancient castle on the other side of the river.

Did you guess wrong?

Or is it that the enemy was so stupid that he believed that after losing the fleet, eboden could not protect the coast and directly planned to attack the two forts?

If so, you should immediately order to pull the chain; Taking advantage of the inertia of the enemy's advance, take them by surprise first - if you are lucky enough, you may be able to destroy several warships.

If not, he will be the one who exposed the bottom card first in this war.

"Duke!"

Count Eckert suddenly shouted, "a total of 20 warships on both wings of the enemy fleet have been parked, and there is no sign of further approaching."

"Very good." suddenly raised his head, the black haired wizard breathed a sigh of relief: "get ready, and we'll..."

Huh?

Wait... Not slowing down, but berthing?

Five hundred paces from the coast... Moored.

Is the opposite just going to scare yourself, not going to attack immediately, or

"Duke, the front-line scouts have reported that the enemy's warships are setting up devices similar to crossbows!" count Eckert's nervous voice sounded again:

"The moored warship is turning in the direction of the tower!"

"They... Are aiming 500 steps away!"

The dark haired wizard's eyes widened.

Just then, a bright golden red light appeared in front of his vision.

On the sea level dyed red by the sunset, a full 20 "pillars of light" soared up and crossed an elegant and irregular "arc" over the sea.

The next moment, these elegant and irregular arcs hit them with an ominous light.

"Boom --!!"

The sparks burst on the walls of the city walls and towers. The stunned black haired wizard and count Eckert only had time to feel a tremor under their feet!

Then they heard the screams and wails of soldiers on the wall below. With the rolling smoke, the flames had been lit on the wall.

Just a round of bombardment, the tight defensive front has become a mess!

After all, the mercenaries guarding the city wall are not Legion soldiers famous for their discipline and patience - this kind of unilateral attack, which is almost magical and unreasonable, makes them completely at a loss.

"Send orders to the mercenaries to immediately plug the gap, send the wounded down to the pharmacist there, and order the catapult and crossbow under the tower to be ready to fight back!"

The angry count of Eckert shouted and rushed to the black haired Wizard: "it's too dangerous here, Duke, please evacuate from here temporarily!"

"Let the following injuries withdraw first, and I can't leave - those mercenaries will collapse immediately when they see that I'm gone." the frowning black haired wizard lies behind the wall pier and stares at the motionless flagship opposite:

"The guy opposite is waiting for me to run for my life."

"But..."

"No, but! Put up a flag and let the mercenaries below watch." the black haired wizard said in a deep voice without looking back: "tell all projection troops that they are not allowed to launch without orders."

"The enemy's projection weapons can hit 500 steps away. Now we can only expose the target."

Count Eckert was silent, and his frown was obviously not in agreement with Lauren.

But he chose to obey his Duke's orders.

"Don't be so nervous, Eckert - we've survived the green sea and silver helmet mountain. It's nothing." pointing to the elf fleet in the distance, Loren managed to squeeze out a smile:

"And since the enemy's projection weapons can hit so far, the filling speed and preparation time of that thing should be very slow. This time is enough for us to prepare for counterattack. By the way... Huh?!"

At this time, a cold like a void reaction suddenly came, making the black haired wizard instinctively turn his head and look.

Just less than half an hour later, the "projection weapons" on the opposite elf warship had been erected again.

The next second, twenty golden red "pillars of light" lined up and appeared on the sea level.

This time, not only Eckert, but even the black haired wizard was stunned.

This thing

What the hell is it?!
