There seems to be something wrong with ninjutsu in medieval warhammer

"This……"

Nelson's well-founded analysis caused all the elves present to look at each other in dismay, not knowing how to respond.

"We can send more members of our ancient allies, the sea dragons and the dragons of Caledor, to come to our aid."

"Well, I have already included the reinforcements they sent, but there is still no way to completely block it. The vast ocean is too big and it is impossible to completely block it. Moreover, what they are after is not to conquer the harbor, as long as it is a shoal. Low-slung keel boats can land, and they don’t need to think about the return period at all... and comparing the number with the endless chaos is definitely not a rational choice.”

Although the proud elf aristocrats looked down on Nelson's origin, they would not take his words lightly, because the consultant had proved himself many times, and they were not fools, and they would not deny his speech just because they didn't like it.

"Then your Excellency means that we can only let them break through, there is nothing we can do?" The elf prince sitting at the top frowned and asked in a worried tone. He knew that every time the spirit in front of him asked a question, Several feasible solutions will also be provided, so there is a little expectation in the eyes.

"...there is no solution, but the risk is high, and even if it succeeds, it will only alleviate the current predicament for a period of time. As long as they maintain this continuous momentum, then this plan is a one-shot deal, at most for us delay for several months."

"Shut up." All the elves present looked at Nelson in unison, eagerly waiting for his speech.

Nelson sat up straight, took out a sketch from his pocket, spread it out on the table, and continued: "Ahem, I found through observation that these Chaos leaders who rule these ships really want to solve us, and they have arranged special plans many times. The magic ships and traps tried to take down the eagle ship, but only succeeded at the beginning. After we became wary, we never succeeded again, but the other party was always trying to find a way to restrain our warship. In this case, we Why not sell it a loophole?"

As he spoke, Nelson pointed to the sketch on the table, on which was a map of the northernmost islands of Ulthuan.

"Set up an ambush here, conduct a decisive battle at sea, and eliminate most of their ships at this stage in one go. As long as it has the heart to eat us, then this plan has the possibility of success! The western waters of the archipelago will be our next battlefield... ..."

Chapter 2 Eleven: Armageddon at Sea (1)

The Great Ocean to the north of Ulthuan is more formidable than to the south.

The most turbulent waves are rolled up by the wind to a height of more than ten meters. When the sea conditions are not good, the ships sailing in the deep sea are almost experiencing the "skyship" all the way, shaking up and down violently.

At this time, there are more than five hundred Chaos fleets struggling to advance in the waves, and they are struggling to move forward in the deep sea. There are too many of them and they are too close together, so every time a huge wave hits, the ships will collide and sink. Appear.But even so, none of the keel ships dared to leave their predetermined positions. After all, they might collide and sink when they gather together. shredded.

The single keel ships are neither the opponent of the elven eagle ship, nor can they break through the blockade to reach the land, but even if the keel ships gathered together still cannot escape heavy losses, the strategic goal of increasing Ulthuan's troops can still be achieved. .

But this time the situation is a bit different, with the seven hunting squads around the Chaos Fleet, a total of 21 eagle ships, have always kept at a safe distance and used ballistas to shoot magic arrows, but at this time it was quite abnormal. Teams get together.

Under the puzzled eyes of the members of the outer Chaos Keelship, the nine gathered Eagle Ships ignored the signal flags of other hunting teams and began to advance at full speed, quickly closing the distance.

"Hahaha!"

In the center of the fleet, on a particularly huge keel ship, a blessed and strong man like a mountain of meat came from the Chaos Wasteland named 'Kang Asi-Sea Killer' barbarian human champion, who immediately laughed out loud.

"Let's get our secret weapon ready! You can eat meat with sharp ears tonight! Once the cubs in the sea encounter those nasty sea bugs, entangle them tightly, don't ruin my good work!" He said and pulled up A slave who was paddling, with the force of his hands, tore it in half before it knew it, and gathered on the top of its head to guzzle warm blood.

This is where the title of Kang Asi-Sea Killer comes from. As long as he feels that something is not going well, he will tear up a few unlucky ghosts and drink their blood, and then throw them into the sea.

The four gods of chaos don't care much about battle damage, but today, when all major battlefields are in dire straits, the chaos navy responsible for transporting troops has become a place of suspicion.

In particular, the fleet responsible for transporting troops from the New World to the land of the Ulthuan Outer Ring Kingdom has become a hot potato that no one feels like taking over.After all, it is not an honor to lose tens of thousands of troops at every turn, even among the chaotic troops who judge the military exploits based on the results and don't care about the losses and the process.

If these troops died in battle, it would be okay, for example, they died under the AOE large-scale magic attack that attacked the Slann Demon Toad, then they would definitely die without loss, but worthless drowning would not be accepted.

Therefore, the position of the leader of the transoceanic fleet, which should have been held by a demon-level demon, will be given to a human barbarian champion.

But this does not mean that Kang A Si thinks that he is a scapegoat. On the contrary, he has a good understanding of the sea, and it was after he took office that the Chaos fleet changed from a messy and needless small fleet across the ocean to a neat one. Guaranteed, at least half of them can reach the Ulthuan Grand Fleet every time.

...

The nine ships Eagles formed a semi-rhombic formation. At a distance of about 100 meters from the right wing of the Chaos fleet, they began to exert their own firepower advantage. The accuracy of the ballista also soared due to the extremely short distance, which led to the sinking efficiency amazing.

Under the indiscriminate bombardment of nine eagle ships, seven keel ships sank in less than 9 minutes.

One of them was even sunk by an Eagle ship.Seeing an unconvinced keel boat rushing out to resist, an eagle boat rammed into it at full speed, and cut it off in an instant. It proved that not only the artillery battle, but also the keel boat could not beat the elves in the angle fight.

"Hahaha! Have fun! Always hide away like a coward, the superior is too cautious, let's continue to hunt the prey!"

Some low-level elf sailors who didn't know the truth howled excitedly while being drenched in the sea water and embarrassed.

On the other side, Kang Asi also shouted excitedly: "Don't fight back! Let them fight and lure them in! Whoever dares to fight back even if he just throws an axe, even if he dies, I will summon his soul Come back and torture forever!"

It waited too long for this opportunity.

Sure enough, he saw the helpless chaotic keel boat, and let himself be slaughtered. A "new" young elf noble kept commanding the eagle ship that obeyed his orders to approach to increase the hit rate of the shelling.

The rough sea, even a distance of one meter, will exponentially affect the hit rate of the ballista, coupled with the constant swinging of the ship, the hit rate will increase a lot with every point closer to the shelling.

"Up up up up! Let my babies up up!"

When several eagle ships approached to a distance of 50 meters from the outermost keel ship, the nine eagle ships suddenly began to shake violently.

Something entangled them from the bottom of the sea, causing the entire hull to shake violently. The sailors on it fell and fell, and fell into a huge chaos for a while. And go, intending to completely surround and swallow them.

Chapter 2: Battle at Sea (2)

"Kill me out! Concentrate all firepower and launch spells!"

The senior officer in command of the nine Eagle Ship Squadron roared ferociously, like a man who made a command error and wanted to make up for it.

However, for some reason, there was a hint of excitement in his eyes.

Recalling the military memories of the day before, the elf nobleman named Coster couldn't help but tremble all over, and the expression on his face became even more ferocious.

……

"The other party is not a fool. If the bait given is not big enough and the rout is not realistic enough, then not only will we not be able to accomplish our strategic goal this time, which is to seduce and wipe out most of the troops, even the troops acting as bait may really change. They made delicious salt and pepper venison in one bite!"

When the senior military officers in the conference room heard Nelson's huge plan, they all shut up and listened carefully.

"I can't bear the honey to attract the bears, I want to act realistically, the troops in charge of the suits don't listen to orders and rush into the enemy's line, only the commander can know our ultimate goal, so we need enough courage and command ability. Most of the time, retreating is more difficult than attacking. If you're not careful, you can go from a fake retreat to a real rout."

I don't know how many armies in history turned a good retreat into a rout because of problems in the retreat.The embarrassment shown by a certain army when facing the invaders in the late 30s is the best proof.

To become a qualified general, it is far from enough to be able to attack. The real difficulty is to guarantee logistics and retreat in an orderly manner.

"In order to avoid excessive losses, we can equip these eagle ships that act as bait but don't know it, and equip them with contact crystals that can communicate with each other at any time to strengthen the means of communication. In the name of experimenting with new equipment, equip more eagle ships, so as not to let the following The soldiers saw the clues. In this way, although the chaos during the retreat is still unavoidable, the losses will definitely be much less. Once the plan is successful, we can gain a few months of preparation time, and the number of people who will be saved will be 10,000+ Azul will also affect the progress of the subsequent counterattack to regain the outer ring land, so although it is cruel to those unaware fighters, it is worth it."

After speaking, Nelson looked at the senior naval officers in the room, and pointed to the sea area north of Ulthuan.

"Since it is my plan, if you believe me, I am willing to lead the induction force."

Watching Nelson knock down the chess pieces representing thousands of chaotic keel ships on the sketch, all the spirits in the room trembled in their hearts. They all realized that if the plan is successful, whether it is Nelson who proposed it or the general who commanded the decoy troops, The generals are famous all over Ulthuan, as long as they don't die, they can always enjoy the great fame and benefits brought by this battle.

So after a long debate, Dick Marx and the Elf naval officers chose to adopt the plan.

The command of the decoy force was finally taken over by a young Lothern naval officer, Edith Alger Essling, who had repeatedly proved her commanding ability.

…………

Back to the rough northern ocean.

Due to the convenience of his identity, Carter's avatar Nelson placed many temporary avatars on board the selected eagle ships before departure.They boarded the ship as temporarily rescued refugees from the Outer Ring Kingdom, and they did not belong to the battle order. They hid under the cabin to observe the situation silently at the beginning of the battle, and released one every once in a while to return to Nelson, who was the caster. As well as the real body, Carter, to ensure that the information can be transmitted back in time.

"It's not a good start, but this officer with Aislin in his name, who is suspected to be related to the legendary high elf sea lord, should know how to deal with it?"

At this time, Carter, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, paid close attention to the memories that came back every once in a while.

However, the naval officer Aislin, who had made various plans before the battle, immediately reacted and let the spell of "temporarily" riding on Party B's warship go into battle.

The elves who can become mages are all human beings ('fine' fine?, the temporary dispatch order seems to be very problematic, but Aislin, the commander of the squadron, mobilized his militant faction to take the initiative to attack regardless of the military order, and ended up in such a situation , has long made them very dissatisfied.

However, his decisive and timely order made the few extra mages on the ship realize that they might be involved in a secret operation without knowing it.

"aroth! cadaith! charoi!"

Following the casting of spells by several of them, a huge flame shield appeared on all the battleships, immediately burning the surrounding sea water and the things under the ships, causing violent thick smoke.

"All warships head south according to the compass!"

The huge smog limited the vision of the surrounding keelboats, and those who got too close or even collided with each other caused the waterway to be blocked.

The average person feels a mess when they experience land congestion, and once there is congestion at sea, the situation will only get worse.

The elf sailors on the nine eagle battleships are at least veterans who have lived at sea for decades or even a hundred years. Even if their lives are at stake, even if the surroundings are covered by hot steam, they still drive the battleships to the right direction in an orderly manner. Direction to go.

The keelboats that stood in the way were smashed in half and sank to the bottom of the sea to become fish feed and air tickets.

"Rush up and entangle them! If you can't do it, I'll wring your heads off and stuff them in your asses!"

Not wanting to let go of this great opportunity, Kang Asi roared angrily for the flag bearer to send a signal.

At the same time, the Chaos Law Enforcers accompanying the team also summoned the surrounding fleets to encircle them under his command.

When the speed of naval battles is not dominant, the number of enemies must be superior in order to wipe out the enemy, so even if it already has [-] warships under its command, it still chooses to call more warships to help out.

The warship led by Aislin was approaching the other eagle ships at full speed, but the opponent refused to slow down for a round. This scene convinced Kang Asi that there was a conflict within the sharp ear, and he was even more determined to call in troops to wipe out the opponent's fleet. The idea of ​​service morale.

Although Chaos Cultists are endless and most are not afraid of dying in the real world, most morale can still greatly affect their combat effectiveness and efficiency.

The Chaos Navy, which is always deflated to death, has long been a disliked unit, and many problems have arisen because of this.

It really wants to rebuild the confidence of the army through a battle, so that there will be enough and strong cannon fodder to cast it as a stepping stone on the road to becoming a demon.

Chaos Reaper has never favored losers, let alone those who rule a group of losers.

"Those pointy ears can't escape today"

Chapter 2: Battle at Sea (3)

The other elven warships near the battlefield saw that the fleet commanded by Aislin was besieged. Although they wanted to rescue them, they had no right to mobilize the surrounding troops for a large-scale naval battle because they did not receive orders, so they had to immediately turn away from the main force of the Chaos fleet.Due to the previous attacks by sea creatures, the bottoms of the nine eagle ships under Aislin's flag were more or less poked holes by unknown creatures, but sea water poured in, slowing down the speed.That's why those keel boats can keep up with the eagle boats that are known for their speed.

At this time, Ulthuan has not experienced the subsequent disasters that caused a large number of territories to sink or become isolated islands, such as the capital of Tyranok, the sunken city of Tar-An Locke' is a typical example.Therefore, the special terrain known as the archipelago has not yet formed in the north of Nagareth, but even so, the number of reefs and islands nearby far exceeds the coastlines of other places.

"Want to leave without leaving something behind?"

The barbarian human champion on the flagship roared angrily and made a gesture. The Chaos Warriors on the side immediately waved the flag in their hands, and the outer few keel boats that covered the middle of their ships with canvas immediately opened to reveal the hidden wearing something.

That was a dozen Khorne skull cannons.

The Khorne skull cannon with a caliber of at least [-]mm exudes a frightening red light and is obviously ready to shoot.

The few bloodletters standing on it immediately manipulated the bone cannon that ordinary people cannot touch, and blindly attacked the eagle ship hiding in the smoke not far away.

"boom!!"

It wasn't until the smoke from the landslide of the fireball with its red tail flames fell into the seawater and set off a huge seawater that Aislin discovered that the opponent actually had long-range firepower.

Although it is hard to imagine how they installed a skull cannon of Khorne, which is almost heavier than the entire ship, on a keel ship and it can sail normally, but Aislin immediately issued an order through the magic communication crystal on the ship according to s A command to advance in font mode.At the same time, in order to avoid irregular movements, Aislin ordered to remove the flame shield and use other types of protective shields because the smoke collided with each other.

Shooting in the floating sea has always been a problem. Although the distance between the two sides is less than [-] meters, more than a dozen Khorne skull cannons have successfully made most of the shells miss after firing multiple salvos.

Even the artillery in Carter's previous life had an impressive hit rate before the artillery revolution at the end of the [-]th century. A few percent hit rate is considered well-trained.Later, after a series of measures such as selling off equipment with scopes and matching large-caliber artillery with coaxial small-caliber artillery for test firing, the artillery hit rate was brought forward, and then the fire control radar appeared.

The Khorne skull cannon, which is made of magic and chaotic energy, has no trace of modern artillery at all. It can be used to deal with fixed targets on land. Shooting another ship from a wobbling ship would be a bit of a hassle for these Khorne skull cannons and the lesser demon 'bloodletters' who operate them.

Therefore, although the nine eagle ships that were being chased ahead were covered with sea water and dead fish on the deck by the shells that fell into the water, they did not affect the navigation. Only the sailors with disheveled hair after slipping and falling looked a little bit embarrassed .

"Don't just be beaten, the first artillery group moved the ballista to the stern and counterattacked!"

Although the hit rate is worrying, having long-range attack ability is not the same as not having it. With the Chaos Skull Cannon, no matter how low the hit rate is, the Chaos Fleet will always be able to threaten the eagle ship. But the dilemma of not being able to fight back is a hundred times stronger.

Soon the ballista was moved to the stern, operated by the best runners on each eagle ship, and fired against the skull cannon at the back.

The two sides fought fiercely, but whether it was the elves who were busy escaping or the chaotic fleet that was chasing after them, their accuracy was poor in the rough seas. The elves were shooting several magic crossbows into the sea. After a burst of sea water, the ammunition had to be replaced with ordinary crossbow bolts.In the end, the ballista on the elves' side benefited from the overcrowded chaos fleet, and successfully hit their first crossbow arrows. A barbarian marauder wearing shoulder armor and paddling was crucified to death on the ship by the crossbow arrows piercing his chest.

And after more than 30 rounds were empty in a row, the bloodletter who was in charge of manipulating the Khorne skull cannon might have saved enough character. As a fireball hit the stern of an eagle ship with a red tail flame, the huge energy instantly Destroyed the magic shield and directly attacked the hull. The two elves were instantly blown to pieces, and a large hole several meters wide was blown out in the stern of the ship.

"Quick! Put out the fire! Take the wounded away!"

The shells fired by the skull cannon were powerful, and even after being weakened by the magic shield, the eagle ship was still ignited. The elf captain immediately took it up to put out the fire, but instead of putting out several buckets of seawater, the fire seemed to grow bigger.

"avalu! chatai!"

In the end, the mage felt that something was wrong, and along with a few words of magic runes came from the subspace magic flame, which was extinguished by the magic seawater surging up from the sea.

The artillery battle results of the two sides began to show results gradually. Because they were fleeing, only nine ballistas could be fired. However, the skilled elves cooperated with each other to attack the same battleship through the communication crystal, and soon sunk and damaged several keel ships.

The bloodletters of the skull cannon gradually found the rhythm of shooting at sea, and began to hit the eagle ship one after another.

……

"It's almost there, it's almost there..."

It has been several hours since the pursuit began. Aislin looked at the densely packed Chaos fleet behind him, and couldn't help but clenched the handle tightly with both hands.

After mobilizing and chasing and intercepting several times, the number of chaotic warships chasing behind has risen to thousands, and the number has become more and more as time goes by.If it weren't for the eagle ship being flexible enough to escape from the gap before they formed a siege again and again, they would have all died in battle, but even so, the situation would not be much better.

At the same time, the pursuers also began to change from a pure sea route to a sea and air route. Countless chaotic fallen and low-level demons with the ability to fly gathered together to continuously attack the squadron led by Aislin.

Only thanks to the close enough proximity of the nine eagle ships, the use of bows and arrows to form a strong enough anti-aircraft firepower, and the cooperation of the mage, they did not tear the elves on the eagle ship to pieces immediately.But if the situation remains the same, it will only be a matter of time. Even if the elves' physical fitness and endurance are far superior to ordinary humans, so that they can easily use a strong bow weighing more than a hundred pounds, there is always a limit.

Seeing more and more enemies in the air and sea, Aislin knew that his fleet would not last long. Not to mention that many Eagle ships were damaged by the skull bombardment, and there were also a lot of casualties, so he did not rush to the scheduled ambush location.

"You can already see the island!"

Suddenly the sailor on the observation deck shouted, his words full of joy.

Hearing this, Aislin immediately dropped the longbow in his hand and ran to the side of the boat. The outline of the island that could already be seen in the distance was a small archipelago located in the north of Nagareth.

"We are going to be saved soon. Everyone is going to the archipelago at full speed! The mages who still have the energy to bless the ships with boosting spells!"

Although I don't know why they can be saved when they reach the islands, but considering that as long as they are near the islands, even if the ship sinks, they can find a way to swim to the shore, so the elf sailors on the ship once again mustered their elves and dragged their tired bodies to work.
