Wizard Lords: Building an Empire starts from the panel

Viewed from the sky, the Kense River looks like a giant white python, running through the vast Evernight Forest and flowing southward.

Affected by the topography, the Kense River sometimes looks like a ferocious beast, with turbulent waves and rushing waves; sometimes it looks like a gentle deer, calm and flowing slowly.

On a section of the river with gentle water flow, a fleet of more than fifty 15-meter-long wooden boats carrying grain moved down the river toward their destination.

Among the many transport ships that looked a little fat and bloated, there were also some warships that were smaller in size and more narrow in shape.

These warships are faster and more flexible, and can quickly go to support the grain transport ship in the event of an unexpected incident.

At this time, Fleet Supervisor Langdon boarded the bridge of his ship and looked down at the entire fleet.

"Sir, we are very lucky today. There is no wind or waves. We expect to arrive at Doc Bay early to rest at two o'clock in the afternoon."

Supervisor Langdon felt very happy when he saw the scene in front of him: "It is indeed calm, and such weather is indeed rare. I remember that the last time we passed here, we encountered strong winds and rapids, and it took us two full hours to arrive at Doc Bay. It’s almost dark.”

"Yes, we are not afraid of anything else. We are just afraid of strong winds and waves that may cause the ship to capsize.

Since the last time a large number of transport ships parked in Moki Port were destroyed and the Moki Port warehouse was burned to the ground, Lord Swain has asked us to carry 20% more cargo each time.

However, the original loading capacity of our transport ship cannot be exceeded at will. Additional overloading will affect the stability and safety of our grain ship.

I heard that the fleets in other river sections capsized many transport ships during this period, largely due to overloading. The last time our fleet encountered stormy waves, it was not because of your command, sir, that we got through the storm safely. "

"Don't say these words anymore. After all, Lord Swain has his own considerations. He has no choice but to let us overload the transportation."

Suddenly, Supervisor Langdon's expression changed suddenly.

"Something's wrong, it's too quiet. There should be a lot of waterfowl around here, but why haven't I seen one today? Something's wrong, there's an ambush!"

"grown ups?!"

"Go, give the order quickly, let all the ships paddle to speed up, and the warships will gather in groups of three to be on guard!"

When his men heard the news, they immediately climbed up the tall observation pole in a hurry, took out the signal flag, and prepared to send signals to other ships.

At this time, in the dense forest on the river bank, Li Wei, who had been keeping an eye on the enemy's flagship, knew that the enemy must have noticed something, so he made a prompt decision and shouted: "Yaqis, shoot down the ape-man who climbed up the observation pole. !

Everyone else, act according to the original plan! "

As an alchemical flare accompanied by a scream took off, a pile of pineapple, tallow and dozens of clay pots containing Helford fire oil wrapped in fishing nets were thrown to the front by a small improvised trebuchet. A dozen grain ships.

Before the orcs could react, a large rain of rockets completely covered the area where the burning objects had just been projected. After three consecutive rounds of rocket rain, a dozen grain-carrying ships in front of the orc grain-carrying fleet fell into a sea of ​​fire.

The flames formed by burning tallow pine are not worth mentioning. The main thing is the three hundred kilograms of Helford fire oil that Levi smashed out.

Not to mention an ordinary wooden transport ship, even an iron ship had to kneel on the ground and sing conquest under the flames of thousands of degrees of heat.

Under the burning of the terrifying Helford kerosene, not only the tallow and pinewood thrown by Li Wei, but also the grain transport ship itself became a burning object, with the hull and grain stubble all contributing to the raging fire.

There were some unfired grain transport ships in the rear trying to break through the sea of ​​​​fire, but the Helfo kerosene they faced was high-grade cargo worth thirty gold coins per kilogram.

Helford fire oil not only has a burning temperature of up to 4,000 degrees, but also has excellent adhesion and a very long burning time. It is an indispensable artifact for home travel, murder and arson.

The burning Helf fire oil floating on the water is a fatal trap for grain transport ships. Once the grain transport ship comes into contact with the burning Helf fire oil floating on the water, the wooden hull near the waterline will be damaged. A big hole will be burned easily.

The orcs' grain transport ships are very ordinary and simple ships. They do not have advanced designs such as watertight compartments. Once water leakage occurs, the ship is very likely to sink.

Langdon, who was on the ship at the moment, was in a very aggrieved situation.

This ship is twenty-five meters long and stands out among the transport ships, so Levi noticed this unusual ship from the beginning.

When Langdon realized something was wrong and asked his men to send signals to command other ships, Levi almost immediately asked Aqis to shoot the orc who was about to send signals.

Then Levi and Flora began a long-range bombing strike against the command ship. A large amount of witchcraft was poured towards the command ship, and the wealthy Flora even smashed three fifth-level witchcraft scrolls.

Afterwards, several small trebuchets, after completing their calibration, threw a large number of tinders and several clay pots containing Helford's fire oil at the particularly conspicuous command ship.

Faced with Levi's intensive long-range attacks, Langdon had no temper at all. Several giant crossbows on the ship only fired two arrows and were destroyed before they could complete their calibration.

There were many archers among the hundreds of orc warriors on the ship. They also tried to fire arrows back, but they were immediately suppressed by Flora's fire.

Coupled with the fact that it was difficult to even open his eyes under the fire, these orc warriors almost became decorations.

“All grain ships, paddle in reverse and don’t try to pass the burning area on your own!

The warships formed a group of three and launched a counterattack against the enemies on the shore! "

Langdon, the fleet supervisor who really couldn't command through semaphores, had to summon up his fighting spirit and yell to deliver orders.

On this wide river, it was difficult to issue orders in a timely and effective manner by sound alone. In addition, the entire fleet stretched for nearly a kilometer, which resulted in Langdon's orders being able to only be transmitted to a dozen nearby ships.

Fortunately, the orc captains were not idiots. The fleet supervisor's ship was unable to issue orders normally. After receiving Langdon's order, the nearest transport ships immediately raised flags and passed on Langdon's order.

Although the fleet that received the order was still a little confused, it also began to act according to the order.

The grain transport ship at the rear began to slow down or even retreat, gradually separating from the burning ship in front and the waters burning with Helford fire oil.

The warships responsible for the escort also organized an effective counterattack. The giant crossbows and archers on board fired wildly at the humans on the shore.

Not to mention, the human warriors on the shore accidentally fell into a disadvantage.
