Chapter 105 Support
The First Black Fire Fleet had already started a naval artillery battle with the elves' escort fleet. The warships of both sides fired at a distance of less than 400 meters, and the artillery roared at each other. The shells fired hit the solid ship walls, and smoke filled the entire sky, and wood chips and debris sprinkled the sea surface.
Some shells that penetrated the ship armor and rushed into the cabin. They knocked off the cannons and jumped away all the things that were blocking. The debris shot everywhere, and the gunmen fell down screaming. After the shells finally stopped, the gunmen who were replenishing in quickly cleared the cabin, straightened the tilted cannons, and then threw them into the fierce artillery battle.
Flames and roar became the main theme of this sea area, and the bright "Black Fire" came late from behind.
Daliang's ship ran slowly mainly because the design concept of the merchant ship can be equipped with dora. The rounded hull increases the resistance of the sea water, making the basic speed of the merchant ship far lower than that of the warship. Therefore, even though Daliang had learned "primary navigation" and was under the upsurge of the wind, he still waited until the naval battle was in full swing before he arrived at the battlefield.
On the central battlefield, even though Daliang was not very familiar with naval battles, seeing that Sidney's first fleet was a half-encircled formation, the fleet could not develop its formation, it could be guessed that Sidney really turned his plan into facts. The lines on several maps turned the originally even naval battle into one side and the other side beaten up.
The "Black Fire" continued to approach the battlefield. Suddenly, a enemy brigade warship, which was already scarred, was fired by the First Fleet, and a continuous explosion occurred on the deck. The fire spread rapidly on the hull and burned down the mast cable to the sails in the sky.
Another huge explosion, and the entire bow of the brig warship was blown down halfway. The panicked sailors on the warship could no longer extinguish the fire. They jumped off the ship and called for help from the troop transport ship not far away.
The two troop transport ships hid in the waters south of the battlefield. The obviously unfavorable battle situation made the sailors on the troop transport ship stand on the upper deck and look anxiously into the center of the battlefield.
The destruction of a brig warship on his own made the otherwise unfavorable battle even more difficult. The captain of the troop transport ship knew that if they did nothing, what would await them would be a sinking fate.
So the two troop transport ships began to move towards the center of the battlefield, the hatch opened, and a large number of unicorns walked onto the deck.
The escort fleet, which originally used naval guns and the first blackfire fleet, changed its tactics against the bombing. They no longer cared about the damage caused to them by close-range artillery battles, and kept squeezing towards the first fleet's warships. They wanted to fight on the shore war, as long as the warships of both sides were tied together and supported the unicorns in the transport ships coming up, they could destroy all enemies.
Pegasus knights who had been fighting with the griffins in the air received a death order from Lucius: "Damn the sails of the enemy's flagship at all costs!"
At all costs...
The fleet is on the verge of destruction and nothing can be sacrificed.
The Pegasus Knights who received the order launched a desperate attack. They lined up into a formation of awls under the leadership of the elves hero riding the Silver Pegasus.
The body-protecting Aegis shield, body-protecting stone skin, bloodthirsty magic, and the silver Pegasus hero imposed all the blessing magic he could on himself, and then rushed towards the large cross sail on the mast of the "Skeleton Soldiers".
Shu Xiao, who felt keen, realized that the enemy's charge did not leave any spare energy like the previous few times, but really wanted to trade life for life. She immediately used all her few mana points to bless her with all the auxiliary magic she knew, and then led all the griffins she commanded to hedge against the Pegasus Knight.
This was the first head-on collision between the Pegasus Knight and the Griffons. In the narrow airspace on the deck of the "Skeleton Soldier", dozens of flying units fought in a melee. The Pegasus' white feathers and golden griffon feathers flew all over the sky. From time to time, a corpse fell from the air, either directly hitting the deck, or falling into the sea.
The archers at the stern tower and the bow of the ship tried their best to shoot their arrows at the Pegasus Knight fighting with the griffon in the sky. A shell that hit the ship's armor fell from top to top into the group of archers at the bow of the ship. In an instant, the four archers lost their lives.
The battle in the air has reached unprecedented intensity. The Pegasus Knights seized every opportunity and looked at every rope they encountered with their own scimitar. Although Shu Xiao had already tried hard to intercept the griffins, in the entanglement and fighting between the enemy heroes, she did not have enough griffins in her hands, and it was impossible for her to take care of every enemy who needed defense. In the end, a cable was cut off.
The upper sail among the three horizontal sails on the middle mast fell down and hung on the middle horizontal sail.
The speed of the "Skeleton Soldier" suddenly decreased.
The enemy ship continued to move closer to seek opportunities to hit the gang and join the board.
Sidney stood on the bridge, swung his sword and cut down a Pegasus knight passing by from above with one sword, and then another sword took his life.
"Sailor is long, raise the sail on the middle mast!"
"Moonbreaker Knight, stop destroying the sails by the enemy again!"
"Each gun is... firing! firing! don't stop."
The fight in the air was still fierce, and the roar of the naval guns never stopped. Although the Blackfire First Fleet firmly occupied a favorable position and had a hit rate far exceeding the enemy warship, it had not yet made a decisive blow to other enemy ships except for the gunpowder barrels of a brig warship.
"Damn, there must be tree spirits on the elves' battleships. These creatures can make the elves' battleships stronger."
The slower "Skeleton Soldier" began to slow down the speed of the First Fleet, while the escort fleet continued to approach the route blocking the First Fleet, wanting to take the opportunity to seize the position and change from passive to active, while the two squad carriers slowly accelerated and drove over.
In a short battle, after paying a significant loss, the Pegasus Knight destroyed a sail and killed ten griffins, reducing the number of griffins to thirteen, while the Pegasus Knight dropped to eighteen. The cooperation between griffins and archers caused great damage to the Pegasus Knight.
Shu Xiao's battle with the enemy hero was very difficult. It was obvious that the opponent's level was much higher than her, and his offensive and defensive attributes were inferior to her. During the battle, Shu Xiao was always in a defensive state and could only rely on the complex upper-level environment of the warship and the support of the archers to barely deal with it.
The Silver Pegasus hero frequently hit Shu Xiao with his speed and strength. He knew that this was a very powerful air combat commander. As long as he killed her, the remaining griffins would become brainless beasts, and his Pegasus knights could easily annihilate them. At that time, the sky here would be allowed to fly.
Just as the Silver Pegasus hero was preparing to kill Shu Xiao with the last blow, several magic beams flew over from a distance.
Shu Xiao was hit by a magic, and his health quickly increased. The other five magics instantly killed two Pegasus knights.
