There seems to be something wrong with ninjutsu in medieval warhammer

…………

On the other side, the main force of the United Fleet hiding behind the archipelago also discovered the huge Chaos Fleet chasing after them.

"Big fish! Our scouts discovered from a high altitude that there are thousands of Chaos fleets directly behind Aislin and the others, and there are scattered around and more are coming! Can we eat it?"

The adjutant who just came out of the communication crystal came to Prince Dick Marx, and said excitedly and worriedly.

"Hmph, look at the fifteen dragon ships and hundreds of eagle ships behind us, as well as the ancient allies under the sea and in the air. As long as we don't scare them away, we, Asur, will win!"

The high-spirited elf prince looked at the huge dragon boats around him, as well as the large number of dragons on the perches specially prepared for the dragons, and the dragon prince couldn't hide the excitement on his face.

"Let the shadow method continue to maintain the invisibility magic, and we must not be found out now!"

Chapter 2: Battle at Sea (4)

Most of the warships of the ten kingdoms in the open sea have been mobilized, the total number is more than 400, and more than 300 of them are eagle ships. The other nine kingdoms provided them, but the fifteen dragon ships that were the absolute main force all belonged to the Kingdom of Itain. The rest were small scout ships and supply ships.

A sea decisive battle of this scale is different from what many people imagined, and it is difficult to end in a short time. Although the elves have many magicians, there are many restrictions. The powerful spell that can sink the opponent at one time is limited in the number of times it can be cast in a short period of time. , and the number of magic crossbows on each ship is even more limited, and they often have to use ordinary ammunition to fight, not to mention the Chaos Fleet. Except for the ten skull guns with impressive accuracy, the main combat methods are ramming and jumping.In this way, it is easy for the two sides to fight for a whole day without being able to tell the winner. At this time, the importance of the supply ship is highlighted.

This is the largest and most powerful naval force in the elves gathering place in history, not to mention that there are a lot of sea dragons hidden under the seabed, the smallest of which can easily overturn two keel boats.

But such a large fleet is not without problems.

Looking at the warships that rubbed against each other from time to time because the formation was too dense, Nelson was very worried about how much combat power this combined fleet would be able to exert in the upcoming battle, or how many times there would be accidental injuries in the battle.

The United Ulthuan Elves Fleet has never experienced even a single large-scale battle. At this time, they can barely get together without making mistakes, thanks to the magic communication crystal and the giant eagle knights and communication eagles constantly flying around.Their constant hustle and bustle ensured that the basic order of the team would not collapse.

"Attack!"

When the communication crystal heard that the enemy had arrived at the predetermined position, Dick Marx, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately gave the order to attack as the commander in chief.

With Carter's avatar as an advisor, this elven prince whose status in Lothern was not particularly high, has risen all the way thanks to the great feats and glory brought by the wave tactics, and finally became the general manager of this combined fleet. command.On the one hand, itain kingdom is of course thinking of its own interests, and it is definitely more willing to let the elf prince of the country take up important positions. On the other hand, Dick Marx has gained too much prestige and merits by virtue of the wave tactics, and other people can't compete with him at all. .

"here we go……"

Looking around at the battleships with their sails lowered, the giant dragons spreading their wings, and the sea dragons with their backs exposed on the sea level, Nelson was excited by an unprecedented sense of epicness. At the same time, he couldn't help but hope that the tactics proposed at the pre-war meeting would work.

……

Through communicating with the elf captain who is familiar with battleships, Nelson knew that with the current communication level of elves, maintaining an overly large formation would only cause a huge waste, making most of the battleships in the state of watching a show most of the time, and only A small number of warships can meet the enemy.

Therefore, it became an inevitable result to split more than 300 capital ships into several formations.

The United Navy is divided into three parts: left, center and right. According to the familiarity of each warship, they try their best to ensure that they can cooperate with each other more easily, but even so, each army has at least more than 100 warships. It will still occupy a large area of ​​​​the sea.

Considering that even with the blessing of spells, the naval ballistas used by the elves cannot compare with real artillery. Nelson did not propose the famous 't' tactic. This tactic is more suitable for ironclad ships with real artillery, not suitable for The main force of the elves is the eagle ship.Forcibly using the t-word tactics and wanting to use the ballista to prostitute the enemy infinitely, the requirements for the command ability and coordinated operations of the combined fleet are too high.

Since the Chaos Fleet obviously does not know real naval tactics, it is not difficult to seize the prefix T, but in this way, the eagle ships of the United Fleet must be arranged in multiple columns or even a single column to exert maximum firepower, but With the ballista's maximum range of 1000 meters and worrying power, it is relatively difficult to form a death zone at such a short distance. Every time, several eagle ships must cooperate with each other to attack the same keel ship, and the hit rate It has to be high so that the enemy ship can be quickly sunk before focusing on the next one.

Once there is a mistake in such a difficult coordinated operation, even if the speed of the keel ship is not as fast as that of the eagle ship, it will still quickly pass through a short distance of a kilometer, and use the advantage of numbers and the angle of collision to easily pierce through only a thin layer of combined fleet , turning the battle into a melee against the Combined Fleet.

The combat power of a single eagle ship far exceeds that of a keel ship, but since the strategic purpose this time is to destroy the main force of the Chaos Navy, large-scale naval battles must be carried out.

…………

The eagle ships with blue and white as the main paint are easy to be ignored at a long distance, but when they are divided into several formations and appear together on a large scale, unless they are blind followers of chaos, they will notice.

The commander of the Chaos Navy, Kang Asi, immediately realized that this was a premeditated trap, but the hesitation on his face lasted less than a second. The next moment, he opened his mouth full of fangs and wore a mask with three skulls stuck in it. Helmet, grinned and shouted: "Children of the true god, these cowardly and pathetic believers of false gods dare to come out! Our feast is about to begin, until the last pointy-eared battleship sinks, the last pointy-eared We will never leave until we are drowned in the sea! Let all the troops come at full speed and offer blood and fight for our lord!"

Although he fell into a trap, Kang Asi didn't think he would lose at all, as long as he dared to fight head-on, he would definitely not lose.

Aislin, who had been fleeing for a while, saw the large army showing his figure, and immediately led the several warships he swung down, thinking about the gap between the three troops, and all the ships were in bad condition after retreating all the way. Maintenance supplies are directly put into battle, no matter which fleet you join, it will become a burden and a breakthrough point.

After revealing the truth, the United Fleet was quickly divided into three formations. Among them, the middle fleet was the strongest, and all members were warships from Lothern. They were the most familiar with each other and had the strongest combat effectiveness. The number was about 150.

The number of the other two formations is about one hundred ships, but many of them are not capital ships, and they hide behind the left and right rears of the middle route army, forming a character shape. The most powerful dragon ship of the elves appeared as a flagship. In the middle army.At the same time, the ships began to turn to the right side to face the enemy. Thousands of ballistas were ready to go, and the mage continued to use magic to maintain the speed.

Although the Chaos Fleet had an absolute advantage, Kang Asi, as the commander, did not lose his mind. There was no way for such a huge fleet to enter the battlefield at the same time. Blindly piling up all the troops would only lead to frequent collisions.

There were only three or four hundred keel boats in the front row. Countless bloodthirsty followers of Chaos stood at the bow and frantically beat on their shields. Their indomitable momentum was indeed quite bluffing, but their absolute numbers did not form. Too big an advantage, and the difference between the keelboat rushing to the front and the one falling behind is several hundred meters.

When the first batch of Chaos Keelships came into range, thousands of ballistas that were ready to go launched at the same time.

"jump jump jump!"

The sound of loose strings almost regardless of the front and rear formed a beautiful music, and thousands of crossbow bolts formed a brown cloud, flying a thousand meters away and falling into the predetermined sea area in one fell swoop.

The dense water column indicated that most of the crossbow arrows had failed, and even so, the three keel boats at the front were instantly sunk.

But a steady stream of keelboats quickly passed the sinking keelboats and replaced them as the new vanguard.

As a result, a decisive battle that can determine the situation at sea in the next few months officially kicked off.

Chapter 2: The Great Battle at Sea (5) The Pseudo-Ironclad Ship

As shown in the picture, a huge hailstorm is falling, the crossbow arrows that are constantly being shot into the air on the sea surface set off bursts of water, but more crossbow arrows still hit the enemy.After being blessed by various spells, the arrows fired by these elf ballistas maintain good power within the range, which cannot be resisted by keel boats at all.

Naval tactics are a high-tech job that requires a high degree of cooperation, but the Chaos Navy obviously does not have this quality, so it uses wrong tactics as always, making the attack the most beneficial refueling tactic for the combined navy.

The keel boats of the United Navy continued to sail out of the main team, under the fire of crossbow arrows round after round.In less than ten minutes, dozens of keel boats sank to the bottom of the sea, and thousands of extremely powerful heavy infantry on land drowned before even touching the hair of the elves.

The followers of Chaos, who have spent their entire lives in battle, quickly realized the situation and temporarily stopped their meaningless suicides.

In the puzzled eyes of the elves, five "wooden and iron armored ships" that seemed to be temporarily built with wood and iron plates sailed out of the big formation driven by several traction ropes that penetrated into the sea around them, accompanied by those Several special keel ships equipped with Khorne skull cannons. Although the accuracy of these cannons at sea is impressive, they are cannons after all. As long as the angle is adjusted to the maximum, the range will easily exceed the ballistas used by elves.

They are like rubbish piled up by a naughty child in the most random way and barely floating on the sea. If it weren’t for the magic runes and chaotic energy that emanated from the ship, barely maintaining its basic structure, it would have been long ago now. It should have sunk.

These five 'wooden and iron armored ships' don't even have the ability to drive by themselves, they are all pulled by unknown fish monsters under the sea.

"Myprince, shall we call back some ancient allies under the sea to deal with the creatures under the sea?"

"No, our ancient allies have other tasks, we can only rely on ourselves, concentrate ballistas and spells to attack them!"

The five 'wooden-iron armored ships' pushed aside the sinking keel ships all the way, and rushed to the front as pioneers, followed by many keel ships intending to follow the gap opened by the wooden-iron armored ships and rush in to start a hand-to-hand fight with the elf warships.

"Launch! Concentrate on their lead ship!"

After forming five single-column formations, the five leading ironclad ships instantly became the target of public criticism, and the continuous sound of loose strings caused thousands of crossbow arrows to attack them with powerful kinetic energy.

But this kind of thing that was mistaken by Nelson as an ironclad ship as soon as it appeared on the stage, although it looks ugly, its defense power is still very strong. Next, although some crossbow bolts were successfully inserted into one head, they did nothing but make the five leading iron turtles look more like hedgehogs.

"choi, leki!"

Under the call of the elf mage, a comet with a blue tail flame descended from the sky, and landed in the direction of one of the iron-clad ships in a daze.

"Move, low reptile!"

The sea beast responsible for dragging immediately sped up its movements in the water amidst the yelling and cursing of the slaves, but the faster Comet Cascadora fell into their queue the next moment, and with a "boom", There was a loud noise, and the seawater, which was already quite turbulent, seemed to be boiling. Huge waves more than ten meters high began to appear in the center of the meteorite. The waves overturned and fell into the sea.

The elves, who were only a kilometer away, were also affected by their own spells. The shell formation against the enemy from the side caused the hull's anti-wave performance to be greatly reduced. Completely overturned, if the mage hadn't made a timely move, I am afraid that the first damage in this decisive battle will be achieved by his own people.

"Don't cast summoning-type large-scale spells casually!"

The elf prince who was frightened into a cold sweat on the flagship dragon boat immediately gave his new instructions, and at the same time turned his attention to the Chaos main team not far away. The figure of the Chaos Fleet was blocked in the water for a while.

"call out……"

Comet Cassadora, which intended to sink the five ironclad ships, failed. Following the transmission of low-pitched sound waves underwater, the five ironclad ships sailed out of the water mist area unscathed under the drag of the underwater sea beasts. , firmly charged towards the elf middle route army.

As the waves are still quite fierce, the accuracy of the ballista that resumed shooting is touching. The eagle ship that is constantly swinging up and down makes 90.00% of the ballista arrows miss. This allows the chaotic ironclad ship to easily attack the center of the United Navy without being sunk. The keel boats kept up.

"Concentrate magic missiles to attack the leader!"

As soon as the voice on some battleships was conveyed through the communication crystal, all the elf mages who mastered the wind of fire used the most basic and most practical 'fireball technique'.

"Heed my call, aqshy!"

As the first fireball was condensed into shape and then flew towards one of the ironclad ships, a large number of elf mages immediately took up their homework.

Fireball, Lightning Bolt, Bow of Kunos, Light of Extinction.

The mages on the swaying ships used basic spells that could span the entire battlefield and be semi-self-guided.

The accuracy of these spells may be worrying if used against long-distance humanoid units, but these ironclad ships are too large to miss.

"Boom!" "Zizi"

Although it is only a basic spell, its power is still good. With the accumulation of numbers, the bows of several leading ironclad ships were quickly blown up, exposing the cabin and starting to flood.But even so, it only caused the hull to enter the water, and the speed slowed down a little.

"Turn, give me a turn! Go up and confront them! The brave son of Kosque will not wait for death!"

Seeing that the spells could not stop the leading iron-clad ship, the captains of the outermost eagle ships who reacted quickly, and they collided with themselves again. They did not wait for the order from their superiors to turn their warships around, committing a serious act of disobedience on the battlefield. .But objectively speaking, their actions laid an advantage for this battle.

As the absolute main force of the elven navy, the mobility of the eagle ship is already the best in the world. At this time, coupled with the blessings of various spells from the mage, the steering speed is even faster. Complete the turn, and even bring up a certain speed.

"Bless Marselan!"

"kill!!"

Huge shouts erupted from several eagle ships that went up, and a large number of Khorne believers with weapons appeared on the cracked bow of the iron-clad ship that was blasted by spells, shouting slogans loudly: "Blood sacrifices blood!" god!"

At the moment when the warships of the two sides were about to collide, a few Khorne believers who were desperate even used the run-up to jump out of the gap in the bow of the ship, holding their battle axes high and jumping towards the shorter eagle ship.

"Non's Light of Sanctuary!"

As a white light appeared on the eagle ship, the next moment the five ironclad ships collided with the eagle ship covered with a layer of magic shield.

The eagle ship, which was carved from a tree as a whole, began to make an overwhelmed tearing sound in the first second under such a huge impact. If it weren't for the magic shield, the hull seemed to disintegrate in the next second. Many sailors Even if he had already tightly hugged the surrounding objects, he still flew around like a string doll out of control.

"what!!"

In the next second, the bow of the eagle ship began to jump high, and those Khorne believers who jumped out of the ironclad ship before the impact hit the magic shield of the ship's hull hard, and then were bounced back and fell into the water.Three of the eagle ships were overturned by ironclad ships that were larger than themselves even though they had magic shields. The completed precious hull is full of cracks, although it has not sunk, it has almost lost all combat effectiveness.

The Chaos armored ships won the hedging, but objectively their speed was indeed slowed down by the five brave eagle ships. At this time, they were only more than 100 meters away from the United Fleet, which was not enough to speed up again to disperse the elves. Formation up.

"Launch! Aim at the gap in the bow and launch!"

And the iron-clad ship, whose speed was already slow enough to walk like ordinary people, has become like a fixed target. Even if the sea surface is still fluctuating violently, at this distance, the innate long-distance talent of the elves makes the accuracy of the ballista they operate soar. .

A large number of crossbow bolts and magic crossbow bolts were shot into the gap, and the bow of the ship, which was already tattered due to magic and collision, was almost completely blown open at this time, completely losing even the theoretical collision ability. The sea beast under the sea can't increase its dragging speed no matter how much it drags.

However, although the five ironclad ships did not complete the dispersal of the elf fleet and entered the big goal of the melee at sea, they still managed to create a breakthrough. A large number of keel ships appeared from behind them and rushed towards the elf fleet at full speed.

"Khorne supremacy!"

"kill!"

Accompanied by the dense crossbow arrows, more than a dozen keel boats leading the battle finally rushed into the formation of the central army. The densely packed keel boats full of crossbow arrows slammed into the eagle boats facing the enemy sideways. It was cut off in the middle for a while, but it still shook violently, throwing the elves on the boat to pieces.

Wearing heavy armor, Khorne's believers easily climbed up the eagle ship's hull with agility that didn't match their image, becoming the first batch of elves to successfully board the elf battleship in a few months, forcing the elves to fight with them. A follower of Khorne in hand-to-hand combat.

"Blood sacrifice to the blood god!"

"Asuryan, kill me!!"

The elven sailors who stood up again immediately held weapons with complicated Itain runes and wore light armor to fight against the followers of Khorne. The moment they came into contact, blood and flesh on both sides began to splatter everywhere, and screams were heard endlessly.Several elves who were quick to use the net rope to climb up to the watchtower used the bows and arrows in their hands to suppress the Khorne believers, and especially focused on hitting the fingers of those who were climbing the Khorne believers.

"Hold on! Sons of Asuryan! Hold on! Reinforcements will come soon!"

The bloody melee fight excited the spirits of both sides, blood and minced flesh filled the deck, thick smoke and the sound of fighting constantly stimulated the gods in the void to attract their attention, and the real battle began.

Chapter 2 Sixteen: Armageddon at Sea (6) Air Defense Weaknesses

"How about the main force?"

Taking advantage of the super high maneuverability of the giant eagle, Aislin appeased his subordinates, who were impatient and a few of his cronies, and rode on the giant eagle to catch up with another fleet.

"How? Did the gods take sacrifices from you?"

On the ocean with erratic climate, it is very likely that the sun was shining all over the place one moment, and an incredible dense fog will cover you the next second. No one will be surprised by the appearance of a layer of mist on the sea surface, but carrying The giant eagle that was watching Aislin plunged in abnormally.

Hidden in the mist are the other fourteen slow-moving dragon boats, as well as a large number of giant dragons resting on perches and sea dragons with their heads sticking out of the water.

The Caledor dragon's natural strong sense of oppression, especially the strong eyes of those young dragons made the psychic giant eagle very uncomfortable. No matter how the knight comforted them, they could not calm them down. Therefore, after putting down Aislin and the accompanying few After the elves, they had to hastily feed the giant eagle a little concentrated feed and water to replenish energy, and then immediately spread their wings and left.

In fact, the young dragons on these dragon boats not only oppressed the giant eagles, but also young and ignorant, and the young dragons with bright scales were still staring at the sea dragons who were comparable in strength to themselves in the water. Small eyes.This is an instinctive game between powerful creatures, but fortunately, with the hub of the elves as a regulator, coupled with the suppression of the elder Yaoxinglong and Hailong, the friction between the younger generation is limited to eye contact.

"I'm fine, how's the situation Randa Bell?"

Most of the senior elves in the United Fleet know each other. This is the convenience brought by longevity. Therefore, when the captain of this dragon ship came to Aislin, he naturally started joking. This is quite normal.

How long can the average human live?Even if the human lifespan of Warhammer is slightly longer than that of other worlds, compared with elves, it is too short. It is difficult for short-lived races to understand elf society and family. Nice friendship.If it is a short-lived human, even if it is only five years without contact, I am afraid that it is possible to forget all the memories and emotions about the other party.

"The main fleet led by Prince Dick Marx has already started fighting. The battle is fierce but generally manageable. However, according to the reconnaissance of the Giant Eagle Knight, the number of Chaos warships coming around is no less than that of the prince and the others. That's right, the main force, once the round is completed, it will be a huge fleet with more than 20 ships and more than [-] combatants. Every eagle ship on the main force's side must defeat ten keel ships to win. It would not be difficult to take down slowly with performance and speed in normal times, but in this large-scale naval battle there is so much space and time for our eagle ships to play."

Hearing this situation, Aislin nodded, took off the helmet on his head to reveal his blond hair, and said, "It is precisely because we are about to face an unprecedentedly large fleet that we need to send fourteen powerful dragon boats and dragons together." Weave together separately!" As he spoke, Aislin looked at the huge dragon blades that were being retracted on both sides of the dragon boat's hull.

The huge sharp blade named Dragon Blade still maintains a sense of sharpness in the mist. It is inlaid with ancient magic runes made of special materials. With its own sharp material, these dragon blades can be like cutting butter. The ships opposing them were cut in half.

Even if the Black Ark, which was created by Durucci with magic summons, could float and move on the sea surface, faced with this kind of ancient weapon, the Black Ark was repeatedly cut to pieces.

"Oh, but watching our compatriots fight hard like this is really uncomfortable psychologically," Landa Bell sighed with his forearm draped around the sword at his waist.

"This is a necessary sacrifice. If the bait is not large enough, the Chaos Fleet will not gather the warships that are usually scattered, and we will not have a chance to decide the situation at sea in the next few months."

After speaking, Aislin turned and left to prepare.

The giant beasts around quietly followed the slow-moving dragon boat, moving slowly under the cover of mist, waiting for their own opportunity.
