Chapter 65 Artillery Cleansing the Ground
The night rain was hazy and blended gently into the waves. The rain was not heavy, but the wind was fierce, making the burning torches and braziers rustle, and the salty and humid sea breeze made it difficult to open your eyes.

Viola took shelter from the rain under a cowshed near the port. She closed her eyes and wondered if there was anything she had overlooked.

At this moment, a shrill whistle sounded vaguely from a distance, and Viola immediately opened her eyes:

"Go see what's going on."

Zora nodded and was about to go check it out. As soon as he came out of the cowshed, he saw Wendy and the housekeeper Lena running up from the bottom of the hill.

Wendy clutched the magic necklace in her hand and said anxiously:
"The scout ship spotted the enemy fleet."

Upon hearing this, Viola also came out of the bullpen:
"Have you confirmed the quantity?"

"The light is too poor to make out accurately. The magic communication mentioned that it was a large fleet."

"Your Highness!"

On the other side, Xuela also ran down the gravel road from the top of the hill.

"Miss Alday said she saw a large ship approaching through magic."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw flashing lights rising from the sea in the distance, mixed with the sound of whistles of arrows. More and more reconnaissance ships discovered the enemy fleet.

"Signal the reconnaissance ship and have them come back immediately."

Sheila nodded a little nervously and ran to signal with lights.

Viola stood on a hillside, with soldiers setting up defenses on the beach below her.

Taking the large tin-rolled speaker from Zora, Viola took a deep breath:

"Everyone, pay attention! Everyone, prepare to fight!"

The soldiers who had been looking towards the sea because of the flares and flares immediately jumped up and gathered quickly, and everyone returned to their respective posts.

Perhaps because of the storm, the enemy fleet arrived earlier than expected.

This is not a bad thing. Compared with the second half of the night when people are exhausted and unable to open their eyes, the mental state of the soldiers in the first half of the night is at the best.

Viola didn't watch the soldiers get busy, she knew her guards would take care of it, so she took out a monocular and looked at the dark sea.

It was still raining in the middle of the night, and there was no starlight or moonlight. It was pure darkness at a glance, and the position of the fleet could hardly be seen.

Wendy, who was beside her, calmed her breath and said:
"It seems that the situation is different from what we expected. The Demon King did not defeat them at sea."

"Yes, in the end it all depends on us."

Viola was not disappointed, after all, the oracle she received was that the Demon King would provide help, but it did not say what kind of help.

Direct defeat is only one of the options. Maybe the help that the Demon King mentioned is probably to give everyone a large group buff or something.

As they were talking, a huge flash of light appeared in the sky, followed by a deafening thunder, which scared Wendy so much that she shrank her head.

With the help of the strong light of lightning, Viola finally saw the tall warships floating on the sea through the telescope. They were silently passing through the water like ghosts, and were densely packed in a column.

Although it seems still far away, with a favorable wind it won't be long before the fleet enters the port range.

On the port side, there were torches, braziers, flares and flares, so the fleet must have known that they had been discovered.

So when the lightning fell and the vision returned to darkness, Viola saw lights appearing one after another on the sea in the distance. The fleet lifted the blackout, which was tantamount to telling Viola, I'm here, wait, I'll be there soon.

To be honest, this operation of the fleet is understandable, but it is also confusing.

According to common sense, the next operation would be for the fleet to approach, then lower the landing boats and send people ashore.

Viola had already set up a position on the beach most suitable for landing, and sent small boats to force a landing, which was basically seeking death.

As a result, Viola saw that the lights were really approaching the port, and it seemed that they really wanted to send people to land.

"They knew we were well prepared but still dared to come. They must have some trick up their sleeves."

"The question is, what can they be sure of? Is there any magic that can destroy our beachhead in one blow?"

Viola did not listen carefully to the conversation between Wendy and Zora. Her eyes were fixed on the battleship at the head of the fleet.

At this moment, a flash of light broke through the darkness.

At first everyone thought it was lightning, but soon everyone discovered that the flash was not like lightning which flashed and disappeared instantly. Instead, it continued to shine and became brighter and brighter.

In the darkness, a spherical lightning floated on the bow of the ship at the front of the fleet. The fierce electric light extended in all directions, and the electric sea water rolled along with it.

"Something's wrong, that looks like some kind of magic weapon!"

As soon as Viola finished speaking, she heard a loud buzzing sound.

The speed was so fast that everyone only caught a glimpse of a dazzling flash that tore through the sea surface and swept across the mountain on the left side of the position, leaving a dazzling red burn mark on the ground in an instant, spreading to a mountain peak near the coast.

Immediately afterwards, a violent explosion broke out in the area swept by the flash, and countless plants and debris were blown into the sky. The violent storm was like a blow to the face, and the skin of the people hit by it wrinkled and tightened.

"What is that? Why do they have something like that on their ship?"

"Magic weapon? But this is too powerful!"

The biggest problem with long-range weapons is not their power, but their accuracy.

It was dark, the wind was strong and the water was fast, and the sea was choppy. The shot was completely off target and didn't even hit the edge of the position.

But it can't hit anyone, it just scares people!
The soldiers on the position suddenly panicked. It felt like the natives seeing airplanes and cannons for the first time and realizing that the swords and spears in their hands were useless.

The Knight Guards came to his senses immediately after a brief shock, and acting as an officer, quickly calmed the soldiers down and waited for new orders.

"Your Highness, we must disperse the soldiers, otherwise they will most likely be wiped out!"

Although it is powerful, it seems that it cannot be fired continuously. During this period, Zora quickly makes suggestions to Viola.

"No, let the soldiers retreat, we will defend behind the hillside."

"But doing so would be like giving the enemy an advantageous terrain."

Being in a superior position is always the most advantageous, and this is true whether it is a war in the cold weapon era or a modern war with hot weapons.

"Your Highness is right. Even if we disperse the soldiers, they will only serve as targets on the beach. We don't know how many times their magic weapons can fire. Staying on the beach will only lead to meaningless sacrifices."

No wonder they dared to charge directly to the beach even though they knew there were defenses. They were not afraid because they had artillery to wash the ground with.
