Chapter 718 719. Queen Island Naval Battle

Eight magic airships lined up in the sky, passing over the fleet of three-masted sailing ships with a crushing momentum.

When the gray dwarf bandits first saw these magic airships, they thought they were reinforcements from other gray dwarf bandits. Some gray dwarf bandits standing on the main mast observation tower even kept waving flags to the magic airships, signaling them to float over the Queen Island Pier to suppress the ten ancient war trees on both sides of the port and the silver Pegasus knights flying in the air.

But as soon as these magic airships approached the fleet of three-masted sailing ships, giant magic explosive arrows were shot out from the magic airships.

Fifty-six whale hunting heavy crossbows shot out magic crossbow arrows at the same time. These magic flames, with gorgeous tail flames, drew graceful arcs in the sky, and then exploded on the three-masted sailing ships that were almost stuck together.

Because these three-masted sailing ships were going to land at the port of Queen Island, a large number of them were tightly packed together in the sea near the port.

The gray dwarf bandits jumped from these closely packed three-masted sailing ships to the port to join the battle.

The explosive arrows fell on the deck and exploded, and countless broken flames attached to the hull and burned. Although these wooden sailing ships had some fire protection treatment, they could not stop these explosive arrows at all. The three-masted sailing ships began to burn one after another. The gray dwarf bandits on the ship wanted to put out the fire, but were injured by the magic explosive arrows that kept falling.

One after another, the fiercely burning magic arrows fell on the three-masted sailing ships...

The crew on the magic airship shot out ten rounds of magic explosive arrows in a row, and at least half of the three-masted sailing ships on the sea began to burn. The fire first engulfed the style on the ship, and then several masts were burned. Embers kept falling on the deck. Soon, the wooden deck of the three-masted sailing ship was also ignited by the fire.

The three-masted sailing ships behind continued to gather towards the port dock. The gray dwarf robbers on the ship saw that the three-masted sailing ships in front were completely submerged by the explosive arrows, and the three-masted sailing ships were on fire. The three-masted sailing ships behind did not dare to approach further. They quickly turned the rudder to let the three-masted sailing ships quickly escape from the port dock before they plunged into the flames.

The three-masted sailing ships that were able to escape from the port dock were less than one-third of the entire fleet.

The battlefield was on fire, and the hot air rushed to the sky. The eight magic airships could no longer hover above the flames and could only rely on the magic propulsion device to move against the wind...

Roy stood at the bow of the magic airship, looking at the dozens of three-masted sailing ships under his feet being engulfed by the fire. He pointed his finger in the direction of the port dock and urged loudly:

"Don't burn these three-masted sailing ships anymore. Let's stop the group of gray dwarf robbers who landed on the island. These guys are so brave that they dare to besiege Queen Island..."

The magic propulsion devices at the tails of the eight magic airships flashed with magic light and slowly drove out of the sea of ​​fire.

The magic airship's whale-hunting heavy crossbow no longer fired magic explosive arrows, but instead fired magic wind blade arrows. These magic crossbow arrows fell and exploded among the gray dwarf bandits, and countless wind blades flew out under the explosion of the magic crossbow arrows.

These wind blades penetrated through the gaps in the heavy armor, and immediately injured a large number of gray dwarf bandits, and blood flowed out through the gaps in the armor.

The magic crossbow arrows fell from the sky regardless of cost as if they were free...

The more than 30 three-masted sailing ships behind saw the sea of ​​fire burning at the port dock, and did not dare to stay, and drove the three-masted sailing ships away from Queen Island...

Seeing eight magic airships rushing into the battlefield, and flanking ten ancient war trees, scaring away one-third of the gray dwarf bandits, the Silver Moon Elf archers standing on the crown of the ancient war tree suddenly cheered like a tsunami.

Eight magic airships approached the Queen Island Pier. At Roy's command, hundreds of half-blood elf guards crowded on both sides of the deck. They took out their forest bows and shot arrows in unison at the captain's command.

Although the gray dwarf robbers wore bucket helmets, the arrow rain was too dense. Many arrows hit the bucket helmets and immediately made a clanging sound...

The sudden appearance of the magic airship caught the half-blood elves on the port pier off guard.

The magic arrow rain fell one after another, and the gray dwarf robbers could only raise their tower shields above their heads. In this way, when the gray dwarf robbers charged forward, only the front row of gray dwarf robbers held their tower shields and pushed forward...

A large number of Silver Moon Elf guards crowded around the port pier. These Silver Moon Elf guards stood between the ancient war trees. They wore the best equipment and resisted the attack of the gray dwarf robbers.

The spearmen standing behind the elven guards holding swords and shields thrust their spears through the gaps in the human wall. Before the gray dwarf robbers could rush up, the inner side of the skirt armor, which was the weakest part of the armor, was pierced by the spears. The gray dwarf robbers kept wailing and fell in front of the elven guards.

Some of the gray dwarf robbers who barely rushed up held war hammers and banged on the iris shields of the silver moon elven guards. The hammers in their hands were very powerful. As long as the silver moon elven guards holding the shields could not hold on, the hammers would hit the helmets of the gray dwarf robbers in the next second.

A hammer hit down, even the most sophisticated magic helmets would be dented by the hammer.

The silver moon elven guards kept falling, and the silver moon elven warriors behind the team immediately picked up the iris shields to hold up the wall.

The number of silver moon elven guards on Queen Island was less than 20,000. With the cooperation of the ancient war tree, they could barely withstand the impact of the gray dwarf robbers...

Every time a spear falls from the silver Pegasus knights in the sky, a gray dwarf bandit will take away his life.

With the rain of arrows shot from the magic airship, these gray dwarf bandits crowded on the port pier were actually blocked on the pier, unable to move forward or retreat. The three-masted sailboat behind them ignited a raging fire, and the way forward was blocked by the well-equipped Silver Moon. Elf guards blocked it.

The gray dwarf bandits wanted to rush to the island, but couldn't...

Trying to get back to the barque, all the barques near the dock were set on fire...

A large number of gray dwarf bandits crowded on the port dock. The Silver Moon Elf archers on the ten ancient war trees shot arrows one after another. Arrows continued to fall from the magic airship. The gray dwarf bandits kept falling after being hit by arrows. Some duergar bandits tried to retreat back to the sea.

It's just that the sea water has been heated by the fire, and the gray dwarf bandits can only rush towards Queen's Island desperately.

Some aerial roots kept appearing at the feet of the ten ancient war trees. These tough roots tied the legs of the gray dwarf bandits, trapping them in place...

In order to fight against the dark Faceless warriors on the Sun Island Bay, the arrows Roy equipped for the mine guards were all magic arrows. Facing these gray dwarf bandits wearing barrel helmets, the mixed-blood elf guard warriors only had to point down The gray dwarf bandits were completely unable to stop the armor-piercing arrows.

Under the pouring of a large number of arrows, the gray dwarf bandits on the port dock began to suffer a large number of casualties.

The gray dwarf bandits fell down one by one. The corpses were so dense that they were almost stacked on top of each other.

The gray dwarf bandits, led by dozens of leaders, have been trying to find a breakthrough. Unfortunately, the ancient war trees on Queen's Island are connected together to form a very long tree wall. The Silver Moon Elf guards are separated by the tree wall, using spears. After assassinating the gray dwarf bandit, the gray dwarf bandit was completely trapped on the port dock and could not break out at all...

Until the number of gray dwarf bandits was less than 30,000, and more than half of the gray dwarfs on the port pier were injured or killed. The gray dwarf bandits completely lost their fighting spirit, and they began to roar at the Silver Moon Elf guards on the port pier.

The magic airship and the elven archers on the ancient war tree stopped almost at the same time...

The gray dwarf bandits on the port dock all put down their weapons and raised their hands, thinking that the Silver Moon elves on Sun Island were surrendering.

At this moment, the fire had spread to the port pier, and dozens of three-masted sailing ships were destroyed in the sea of ​​​​fire. In addition to the three-masted sailing ships, a large number of medium-sized sailing ships were also burned at the port pier.

At dusk, billowing smoke broke into the sky from Queen's Island Pier.

The elven guard warriors quickly received the gray dwarf bandit prisoners of war, and a disgusting smell of barbecue floated in the fire burning at the port dock.

After the gray dwarf bandits surrendered, Roy tried to shoot magic ice arrows at the three-masted sailing ship that was on fire. Unfortunately, the fire was too fierce. Even if the magic ice arrows flew to the deck of the three-masted sailing ship, they were instantly destroyed. The flames evaporated.

The gray dwarves who surrendered on the port dock were escorted to a beach. These gray dwarves were chained together by the Silver Moon Elf warriors. After some counting, it was found that 27,000 gray dwarves were captured in this battle. robber.

In addition, the Silver Moon Elf warriors also dragged out nearly 8,000 seriously injured gray dwarf bandits from the pile of corpses...

The fire burned into the night, and Roy's magic airship landed in the sea near Queen's Island.

He took a small boat to the shore. The reception officer of the 17th Silver Pegasus Military Headquarters was already waiting on the shore. When he saw him coming off the small boat, he immediately stood up and saluted!

"Captain Roy, Your Majesty the Count invites you!"

Roy waved his hand and said, "Lead the way!"

Thick smoke and smoke appeared throughout Queen's Island, and the wreckage of some ships and the corpses of gray dwarf bandits were floating in the sea.

Roy couldn't help but cover his mouth and nose when walking.

The Silver Moon elves who were cleaning the battlefield on the beach all turned their attention to Roy.

…

Seeing that the Queen's Island Port Pier had been burned to the ground, Roy slowed down. The heat radiating from the terminal would still sting his skin even though it was nearly a hundred meters away. He didn't know how long the fire would last.

However, the elves have removed all fires near the port that may be connected to the forest, and even the ten ancient war trees have returned to the forest.

The Silver Moon elves have obviously given up on the port dock and are no longer trying to extinguish the fire here.

The billowing smoke flew into the sky, forming a large gray cloud in the sky. Some of the ashes that floated into the sky flew down again, spreading everywhere.

Roy walked along the forest path until halfway up the mountain. There were some injured Silver Moon elves everywhere along the way. They were resting and receiving treatment.

The Moon Temple did not provide any help in this battle, and the Silver Moon elves could only use magic potions to treat the wounds.

Roy came to the tree of life, just as Earl Swinburne and Earl Macaulay, with a group of Silver Moon Elf officers, were comforting the wounded Silver Moon Elf soldiers who were resting in the forest.

Roy followed the reception elf and walked over, taking the initiative to salute Earl Swinburne and Earl Macaulay.

Earl Swinburne put down the magic potion bottle in his hand, turned his head and looked at Roy seriously, and asked him:

"Roy, what's the situation on the Partington plane? Why didn't you take the magic airship to the Queen Egwene Islands with you if you didn't stay at Sun Island Bay?"

Roy knew that Earl Swinburne was very concerned about the situation in the Sun Island Bay, so he said, "The situation in the Sun Island Bay has stabilized. In fact, the main force resisting the Dark Faceless Legion there is not us, but the Siren Legion in the sea."

"I heard from General Berkeley that the situation in the Queen Ewenni Islands is a bit tense. If the magic airships are gathered together and the knights have a smooth journey, it won't take much time to fly from Padstow City to the Queen Ewenni Islands."

Roy added.

Earl Swinburne nodded and said to Roy, "Your fleet arrived in time."

As he said that, Earl Swinburne patted Roy on the shoulder.

"My Lord, I want to apply to go out to sea tomorrow to chase the rest of the gray dwarf robbers. I think they may not be able to leave the outer islands of the Queen Ewenni Islands tonight, so I will catch up with them in the magic airship tomorrow morning, and I will definitely be able to stop them."

Roy applied to Earl Swinburne.

"Yes, there are two Silver Pegasus Knights chasing the fleeing fleet. When you reach the open sea, you can cooperate with each other!" Earl Swinburne reminded Roy.

"Yes!"

Earl Macaulay, who was standing aside, took the opportunity to interject:

"Roy, what is going on with the mines in the Caldim Mountains of the Pagisto Plateau? Why did someone complain to me? Because of your secret obstruction, those silver mines were forced to close. Don't you want to explain to me when you come to the military this time?"

"I didn't obstruct anything. You know... I just came back from the Dark Gate Expeditionary Camp a while ago. I just returned to the Partington plane. The mine guards had not had time to repair, and the Dark Legion was discovered in the Sun Island Bay. I don't have time to take care of those things." Roy said a few words casually.

Earl Swinburne nodded slightly, his eyes fell on Earl Macaulay.

Earl Macaulay turned his head to look at the two Silver Moon Elf Guard Captains behind him, thought for a moment, and said to Roy:

"I'll give you the operating rights of the silver mines in the Caldim Mountains! I've figured out that only you can operate the mines on the Pagisto Plateau to get good benefits."

Roy ignored the unwilling expressions of the two Silver Moon Elf Captains behind Earl Macaulay, and agreed loudly:

"Yes, Earl Macaulay!"
