Chapter 19 Apollo's Revenge (2)
One night three days later, the naval fleet of the Seven Hills Empire quietly approached the island where the Pirate Republic was stockpiling supplies.
"One night a few days ago, I was about to go to the beach to get rid of my hands when I suddenly saw a mysterious girl standing on the reef!"
The navy deputy said to Berengal in a roaring manner on the warship.
"She has silver-white hair, like a fairy; she is wearing a set of armor, which is radiant in the evening, but it is radiant with golden light, exactly the same as the legendary Apollo armor; she holds a white war bow in her hand, and it must be the sun god Apollo bow!"
"She looked at me, pulled out a trace of sunshine from the night, and then put the invisible light on the battle bow and shot straight to the southwest direction! I wanted to get closer to see what happened, but when I came under the reef, the girl was gone."
"I realized that this was another revelation of God, and immediately sent someone to explore the southwest. Sure enough, I found the precise location where the enemy piled up supplies! Although there was a naval protection from the island republic, since the sun god Apollo was standing on our side, we would definitely win!"
If it were normal, Berengal might have doubts. But the Navy's attack to help him seize the island was in line with his previous strategic plan, so he wouldn't say anything.
There was a strong fortress on the island, and I don't know how many defenders were. But since it was a key place for reserve materials, I think the number of defenders would not be too small. Moreover, the defeated Almani coalition was likely to rest on the island. In order to ensure the capture of the fortress, Berengal dispatched a whole guard. They sat on the naval warships. If the naval attack was smooth, they could start landing on the island; and if the naval offense failed, they could also use the Jugang to fight for some assistance.
As long as the fortress on the island is removed, the victory of this war will belong to the Qiqiu Empire.
However, some shadows appeared in Berengal's heart. He looked at the Longinus gun in his hand. Three days ago, when the gun was halfway through, it suddenly fell into the sea.
The Longinus gun cannot be used to fight against the royal family of the Seven Hills Empire who swore allegiance to the user and made a contract with blood. For Berengal, except for the previous kings and the present Basilus, it seems that only the niece of Basilus is Ayra.
No—If the scope of this "royal clan" is expanded beyond Scipio, there will be another person.
"Belengar..."
"Belengar?"
"Belengar!"
In my memory, a voice called his name hoarsely behind me.
"Belengar...even you are going to betray me?"
Berengal turned around in his memory blankly, a girl was covered in blood, holding her parents who died in battle and cried bitterly.
The girl's face was extremely blurry, and she could only vaguely see the sun-like blonde hair.
No... She shouldn't have held her parents who died in battle at that time. That was on the border of the Qiqiu Empire, and her parents were executed when the last city fell due to rebellion.
My head began to hurt and my memory became blurred. Berengal couldn't figure out what was going on at that time.
——Maybe, he didn't look back at that time.
"Belengar..."
"Belengar?"
"General Berengal?"
The sound of the deputy general of the Navy awakened Berengal from his memories. Following this was the sound of the crossbow breaking through the air and the shouts of the soldiers.
"General Berengal, our vanguard has already fought with the enemy's navy, and we have the advantage! The enemy does not seem to be equipped with Ocean Fire!"
Before the war between the Qiqiu Empire and the Island Republic, the naval strength of the Qiqiu Empire was much weaker than that of the Island Republic. The naval battle in the Adriatic Sea reduced the naval strength of the Qiqiu Empire by half. However, the Island Republic then attacked everywhere, dividing its huge fleet into three, one blocking the Black Sea Strait and the other transporting materials to protect Thrace. Now there is only the last one in front of the Qiqiu Empire's navy. The strength of the two sides is actually comparable.
However, the soldiers of the Qiqiu Empire were guided by God and their morale was strong. The Island Republic did not expect that the enemy's remnants would attack here at this time, and their morale was significantly lower, so the Qiqiu Empire had the advantage.
However, this advantage alone is not enough to establish victory.
"What should I do?" asked Berengal, who came to his senses, "Can my guards jump onto the enemy's deck?"
"It's very difficult to jump gangs. The Imperial Guards are not good at water wars, so they may fall into the water. The general just needs the Imperial Guards to support us on the ship."
Berengal nodded. He saw an enemy warship firing arrows at this side and shouted: "Forming a shield wall!"
The soldiers of the Imperial Guard raised large square shields side by side, as if they had set up a row of low walls on the edge of the ship.
"Spout - prepare - shoot!"
In an instant, the spear dropped down towards the enemy ship like raindrops. This was the weapon of the infantry of the Imperial Guards. The heavy spears were enough to penetrate the thickest armor to kill the enemy. This destroyed the navy of the Island Republic. For the convenience of maritime combat, most of them wore light armor, so how could they withstand this round of spear attack?
Another enemy ship attacked from the side, intending to sink the warship where Berengal was riding with a corner.
"Spout - prepare - shoot!"
Another round of spear flew over, and together they flew out, the Longinus gun of Berengal. The huge impact force broke the large warship into two pieces in half!
Each guard was equipped with only two spears. After two rounds of volleys, they were left with only melee swords and shields.
"Where is your ocean fire? Why not use ocean fire?" Berengal asked the Navy's deputy general.
"That kind of weapon is installed on the bow of the ship and cannot be moved. It is not that it is difficult to aim at the narrow terrain!"
Berengal nodded thoughtfully.
"Imperial Guards! Open the box containing the ocean fire!"
The navy's deputy general was startled: "General Berengal, what do you want to do?"
"Populate the water from the kettle and pour the fire in the sea!"
According to Berengal's order, the Imperial Guard filled the kettle around his waist with ocean fire.
"Prepare to shoot!"
The Imperial Guard threw the kettle filled with ocean fire onto an enemy ship like a spear. The kettle could not withstand the collision and shattered on the enemy's deck, and the ocean fire spread all over the floor.
"General, our ocean fire is different from that of the island republic. It cannot be burned without ignition!"
"I understand, the archer - ignite - shoot the rocket!"
Several rockets were shot out, and the fire broke out on the ship. The Navy's deputy general had never thought that the ocean fire could be used like this, and he was so shocked that he stuck out his tongue.
"Just like this! The entire guards were ordered to throw all the kettles onto the enemy ship!"
"Don't throw it away!" The Navy's deputy stopped Berengal once, "Look, the enemy's fleet has begun to retreat! When the ocean fire burns, it will block our own way!"
"Has it been successful?" Berengal breathed a sigh of relief, and then turned his eyes to the island where there was no navy.
