Alien Knights

"Mr. Dunlop! Something is wrong!"

An anxious assistant rushed into the laboratory and shouted to Wayne Dunlop who was comparing the experimental samples: "Miss Aisha wants to drive the keel warship away!"

Wayne put down the sample in his hand, and said distressedly: "Can't that reckless female pirate stop for even a day?"

After packing up everything in the laboratory, Wayne followed his assistants to the dock, and saw Aisha, who was wearing a fish skin tights, arguing loudly with the staff.

The tight-fitting leather armor on Aisha's body was sewn from sharkskin, close-fitting and waterproof, with a row of holes reserved on the back, specially used to connect the parasite's nerve hooks. The fur coat clings to her skin with nothing else in between.

But for her who can see her graceful figure at a glance, the men around her dare not make any mistakes.

This is because anyone who is familiar with Aisha knows that this female pirate hides an unruly and tyrannical soul under her beautiful appearance. She can drink the strongest wine, tell the nastiest jokes like men, and cut off any arm that dares to do her wrong with a smile.

Wayne approached the crowd and heard Aisha yelling at the warship behind her: "Are you planning to let this ship lie here like this and never go to sea for the rest of your life?!"

Someone persuaded: "Miss Aisha, this ship is still in the experimental stage and cannot be sailed out!"

Aisha retorted: "In my opinion, whether a ship is qualified can only be tested by sailing on the sea; sleeping in a dark cave like this will only be accompanied by dust and insects forever !"

Someone shouted at this time: "Mr. Dunlop is here!"

Wayne pushed away the crowd, walked up to Aisha, looked her in the eyes: "Where do you want to drive this boat?"

Looking at this thin and tall scholar, Aisha lowered her voice three points: "Just take a turn on the nearby sea."

Wayne thought for a while, and asked, "Is it related to the war in the south that you are going to sea?"

Aisha deliberately avoided this question, and asked instead: "Mr. Dunlop, don't you want to try the power of this battleship?"

Looking at the expressions on the faces of the people around, Aisha pointed to the keel battleship and said to everyone: "We have lived here for several months, and our daily work revolves around this battleship... You have been busy for such a long time, Don't you want to test the results of your hard work?"

Everyone looked at each other and was silent for a moment.

Someone said: "If this warship wants to conduct actual combat, it must first obtain the approval of the cabinet."

Aisha said with a smile: "Remember, this is not an actual battle, this is at best a voyage experiment."

Someone said: "What should I do if this warship is damaged during the war?"

Aisha said angrily, "I'm not the kind of idiot who drives a battleship and sneaks into the enemy group! I used to be a pirate, and when the situation is not going well, running as fast as I can is my best thing!"

After saying this, Aisha turned her gaze to Wayne again: "Mr. Dunlop, if you worked so hard to raise a hunting dog, would you lock it in a cage? Or would you let it go out to track you?" prey?"

Wayne first looked at the provocation and questioning in Aisha's eyes, then turned his head and asked the assistant beside him, "Are the weapons of the battleship ready?"

"Twenty-four spore torpedoes boosted by black powder have been tested and confirmed to be usable."

"What about the control of the ship?"

"Miss Aisha has completed hundreds of keel joints, and there are no problems in operability and flexibility."

"Where are the sails and oars?"

"We abandoned the previous straight sails and adopted triangular sails, and the small paddles on the bottom of the boat have also been confirmed to be effective."

Wayne turned his head, stared into Aisha's eyes, and said slowly, "Going to sea is fine, I have one condition."

Restraining the joy and excitement in her heart, Aisha couldn't help nodding: "Please tell me."

"I will send an assistant to go to sea with you."

Aisha smiled and said, "No problem."

———————————

Amidst the roar of artillery, a solid shell landed on the watchtower on the outer wall of Guyan City, destroying half of the building.

The broken limbs and blood of human beings, like raindrops mixed with hail, fell on the corridor of the city wall.

Randall shook his head, shook off a piece of intestine that fell off the helmet, and shouted to Horn beside him: "Knight Commander, the enemy's artillery fire is too fierce...Look at those soldiers on the city wall!"

Horn turned his head to look at the defenders beside him. The soldiers of Lone Rock City were scared by the earth-shattering sound of artillery and hid behind the city wall, not daring to move a little bit, like quails beaten by frost, unable to lift anything at all. The mind of resistance.

Then, he stuck his head out from the city wall and looked out again.

Finally, Horn arched his body, patted Randall's helmet, and shouted: "Get up, the enemy is charging up again!"

With a stride, Randall climbed up from the ground and rushed to the edge of the city wall. The long sword in his hand slashed obliquely, separating the head of an imperial soldier who had just climbed up the city wall.

Horn led several knights under his command to form a small front arrow battle formation, charged into the enemy group, and drove the enemy army from the top of the city abruptly under the slashing.

In the main formation of the Ayub Empire, Saladin was riding on a horse, holding a binoculars in his hand, watching the battle on the city wall, his brows became more and more wrinkled.

"Caliph! General Elim sent a messenger again, asking for more troops to attack the city!"

Hearing the call of the messenger, Saladin shouted without hesitation: "No!"

Putting down the binoculars in his hand, Saladin said with emotion: "More than a dozen black-armored knights can actually lead a group of recruits to support until now...Languine, what do you think?"

The black-robed man standing behind Saladin's horse said respectfully: "Your Majesty, as I told you, these knights belong to the Muxi Knights. With their abilities and dragon bones, they used to fight more with less. They defeated the allied forces of the Church of the Heavenly Father in one fell swoop, and their strength cannot be underestimated."

Saladin asked: "Ability, keel... how many knights are there?"

Throat Bone shook his head: "I don't know, but it shouldn't be many."

Saladin raised the binoculars again and watched a black-armored knight use the parasite limbs protruding from the armor to tear an imperial soldier who was too late to escape into pieces, and couldn't help taking a breath.

The setting sun is setting, and the setting sun is like blood.

Standing in a pile of rubble, Horn sighed deeply as he looked at the corpse under the white cloth.

A knight walked to his side and said softly, "Garnett was hit in the head by a stray bullet and did not survive."

Horn drew the cross on his chest and said sadly: "The day before yesterday was Newman, yesterday was Melvin and Sara... Oh, my old brothers, may God grant you peace and tranquility, Amen."

Randall took off his armor, and with the help of Barbara, he dug out a lead bullet embedded in his arm.

Throwing the bloody bullet in his hand into the distance, Randall watched his wound slowly heal, and said to himself, "It's the fifth day..."

After finishing mourning for the dead with his knights, Horn walked to Randall's side and said in a deep voice, "The situation is not optimistic. If the enemy hadn't deliberately delayed, this place may have become a dead place now."

"Yes." Randall looked up at the gray sky covered by gunpowder smoke: "It is a miracle that the soldiers of Lone Rock City who have not experienced war can support until now."

He turned his head to the city behind him: "As for the people in the city, they have long been frightened by the artillery fire and fighting, and they don't even come out. The morale in the city is getting lower and lower."

Horn sat next to Randall and touched his rosacea: "There is still bad news."

"What?"

"According to the time, it should be in these two days. After the imperial army landed in the north, after they defeated the reinforcements, the next target is only this city. So, tomorrow I must take my men and rush to Lonely Rock City Join the troops at the north gate to defend our rear."

Randall looked at Horn and smiled wryly: "You want to take people to guard the north gate? What about here?"

Horn also had a headache on his face: "I have two suggestions. First, abandon the gates of the outer city and retreat directly into the inner city. The terrain there is more dangerous and the fortifications are more complete; second, find a way to make the gates in the city People regain their confidence..."

Randall simply closed his eyes: "How can that kind of thing be so simple? Even the regent Jennings has given up hope and has been hiding in the barracks for the past two days and refused to come out."

Horn stood up with a sad face, seemingly helpless.

Barbara, who had been listening to the two talking, suddenly said, "I have a way to cheer up the people in the city!"
