Heavenly Dao Formula

"My lord, the pirates are back." Captain Flynn said suddenly.

Have you finally caught someone...

Tural raised the lookout glass again and squinted at the east gate. I saw a team of pirates rushing out of the street, and ran to the beach in a panic, but they didn't have a single elf at hand——

No, the elves were chasing them from behind!

Lord could hardly believe his eyes.

The group of pirates was obviously the one being chased and killed. From time to time, some people fell to the ground, as if they had been shot. But the elf didn't stop chasing until the open area beside the city gate, and retreated back into the streets and alleys. The pirates who survived the catastrophe didn't dare to look back at all, and escaped from Jinxia City like a rout. Even the imperial troops on the beach didn't know what happened.

Tural felt the veins pop up on his forehead.

It's just - it's unreasonable!

How could fugitives obtain guns and ammunition?

Reminiscent of the previous captain's speculation, it can only be that the elves and the Qiguo people have colluded for a long time!

Tural slammed down on the railing, did they treat diplomatic negotiations like a joke!

"Let the pirate ship fire."

"My lord... there are many people still scattered in the city..."

"I said, let the pirate ship fire!" he said in a deep voice, "I want to see their city burn!"

"I'll pass on the order right now." Fei Lin didn't want to provoke the other party's anger, so he quickly replied.

In this way, Daqi people will taste the taste of violating the agreement!

Tural walked back and forth in front of the poop deck impatiently. Although the other party had to pay for it, it was still bad news for the Imperial Fleet. Even if he can turn the city into a sea of ​​flames, the elves will not consciously catch them without a fight, after all, he still has to send someone to catch them.

The order to fire the guns was not on his spur of the moment. The only way to reverse the situation now is to make Jinxia City suffer enough and force them to cooperate with the Empire again. As long as the beating hurts them enough and the cost is greater than the benefit, they will consider whether to continue to protect those pointy ears.

"boom--"

At last the first roar of artillery came.

Then the pirate ships in the front line fired one after another, and the shells roared over the city wall and fell into the city. Some of the shells have been coated with whale blubber, and they can burn for a while after landing. If no one saves them, it will easily cause a fire.

"Too stupid." Tural shook his head.

"What?" The captain didn't respond for a while.

"I said, that princess is too stupid." The lord stared at the city that was already smoky and said, "The seeds of the spirit tree are of course useful, but sometimes the treasure will hurt itself because it is too hot. Even if it can be completely So what about destroying the pirates who landed? As long as the ship is still there, the city cannot be saved. Not only the city of Jinxia, ​​but also the cities along the coast of Qiguo are the targets of the fleet after the Shuzhou incident is over. I want her to understand how unworthy it is to offend the empire."

In that case, the news would definitely reach Qi Kingdom's capital.

For such a diplomatic accident, the king of Qiguo must be furious. Even if the other party is a princess, he will have to walk away.

rumbling rumbling...

Suddenly there was a muffled thunder in the sky.

Tural looked up and found that the clouds in the sky were much lower than before, and after a while, raindrops fell.

Damn, it's raining?

"It seems that Lady Luck is not on our side." The captain sighed.

But at this moment... He couldn't help frowning.

The rain does not affect the fleet's firing, but it will gradually extinguish the fire in the city. Without the help of the fire, it is difficult to cause sufficient damage to the houses with iron ball shells alone.

Of course, as elite battleships of the empire, both the Invincible and the Angela are equipped with explosive shells, which are very suitable for destroying wooden houses. The problem was that this would require a rearrangement of formation to get the flagship close to the beach to fire, and there were diplomatic concerns.

Having said that...why can't the sea breeze blow? There are occasional calms, but they rarely last this long... The lord shifted his gaze to the wind flag on the side of the ship. It hadn't fluttered for a long time.

"Call the two ship mages over here." Tular thought for a while, and ordered to Captain Flinn.

"Mr. Captain, Mr. Captain! Look to the southeast, look at the southeast!" At this moment, the lookout on the mast observation tower shouted loudly!

Both of them looked back together——

I saw a row of light gray shadows appearing on the sea.

"What's that?" Ferlin blurted out.

Tural couldn't answer. Those who could appear on the sea were either boats or large fishes, and at most one evil spirit could be added. But the evil spirits around here should have been cleaned up by Dongsheng Kingdom.

"Goodness...it's a boat, sir!" cried the lookout again. "That's a boat!"

"What nonsense are you talking about," Ferlin yelled back, "if it's a ship, where's the sail!?"

"I don't know, but it has tracks behind it, and it's going fast!"

Tural's heart skipped a beat.

A ship that can go forward without sails? Have the elves used their technology on aliens? But even if it is a kind of green shuttle, there should be no way to make the ship run so fast that the lookout will scream.

"Hoist the sails, we can't stay where we are!" the Lord shouted to the captain, "Tell the mage to move the Invincible, and the Angela too! Head east, open the left and right gun ports, all personnel are in their positions, the whole ship Ready to fight!"

"What about the pirates?"

"Let them figure it out for themselves!"

Tural didn't know what it was that came, but if Jinxia City had the ability to step into the sea, the situation would be completely different - one thing he could be sure of was that the other party was not kind.

"Dangdangdangdangdangdangdang-!"

As the first officer rang the bell, the whole ship quickly entered a state of combat readiness.

The sailors shuttled and climbed between the masts, the giant winch tightened the ropes pulling the sails little by little, the mainmast and the foremast were raised to the half-sail state; the interior of the hull was even more busy, amid the rhythmic slogans, the side The three layers of gun doors were opened one by one, and the gunner pushed the cannon to the firing position, and all the projectiles and gunpowder were loaded into the chamber, just waiting for the enemy to enter the firing range—but at this moment, they still haven't seen where the enemy's threat comes from.

"What did you say?" Tural stared at the ship mage and said, "Can't summon the wind?"

The latter's face was also a little ugly, "It's not that I can't summon the wind, but that there are more powerful spells working here, forcing this area to be windless!"

"What do you mean?" The captain asked in surprise, "There is no wind because someone is causing trouble?"

"That's exactly what happened."

"But where is the spellcaster?" Tural really wanted to slap the opponent into the sea, boasting that he was omnipotent when he wanted to hire money, but when he needed his shot, he said he was powerless? "It's impossible for him to cast spells in the city and then affect the entire sea area, right? Is there anyone in Siristi's mage tower who can do this?"

The mage was also stuck, and he really didn't dare to say that there was a spell with such an astonishing range, after all, it was beyond his common sense.

"Forget it," Tural turned to the captain, "Tell the elves at the bottom to use all their strength. No matter what method your people use, you must start the Invincible!"

"Please rest assured, my lord, the time will catch up."

As early as when the sail was first hoisted, Filmin had already notified his subordinates to let the elves join the ranks of driving the Invincible—relying on the green shuttle tentacles swinging at the bottom of the ship, the huge ship had already moved and was slowly turning east.

And the gray-white shadow was getting closer.

Now with the binoculars, the true face of the comer can be seen clearly.

Tural stared at it for a while, then suddenly took a breath, "This can't be true..."

Those things that scurry across the sea are indeed ships.

Not only were there no sails, but there was not even a single erected mast to be seen.

But this is far from the most incredible place.

The really incredible thing is the boat itself -

Those boats were all made of ice, if he was not mistaken.
