Realm of Power

Through the bright, somewhat concave lenses of the telescope, Dostelenko could already clearly see the distant coastline, the dense outline of a large city building, a dozen large and small docks, and the embankments along the edge of the port. Away, the blue water laps on it,

The front of the port is like a giant crab, with more than a dozen stone sentry towers protruding from the edge. The interior is as vast as the bottom of a bottle. A white lighthouse stands on the cliff by the sea. The huge sea surface here presents a scene. Different colors, light green and deep blue, like a dreamy sea,

Atwood Sea City, the largest military seaport in the northwest region of Obarro, was obviously unprepared for the fleet that suddenly appeared on the sea. It waited until the fleet approached 500 meters before running towards the two sides in panic. There are many people gathering in the trebuchet tower and the empty port. It is obvious that they have also discovered the existence of the Falcon Fleet, but they have not yet realized that the last moment of their lives has come.

They just instinctively crowded close to the coast, or stood on the roof of their own house, looking towards the sea, looking at the fleet on the sea, guessing about the type of ship they had never seen before, the Dragon Tooth Ship. Most of their expressions were... Including a bit of a look at the fun,

Among these people, there are white-haired old people, lively children, nobles in fine clothes, and more than half-dressed civilians. They are all looking up at the sea, whispering to each other, and whispering. As if trying to determine where this fleet that suddenly appeared on the sea came from, no one realized that the big hand of the God of Death had quietly strangled their necks.

If there was no war, they could enjoy the beauty of a peaceful life in this city and enjoy the wealth that their hard work has brought to them. However, unfortunately. War has no pity, no sympathy, and no hesitation. For Atwood Sea City, when they chose to launch an attack from the sea, they also chose war.

"Sir, all ships have indicated that they have completed their preparations!" the adjutant came up with an excited look.

Dostelenko slowly put down the telescope. Once again looking at this city that is about to suffer a devastating blow with naked eyes,

After sinking the transport fleet heading north, Dostronkai received an urgent order from Fatty on his way back, "There is no need to return to port. The enemy naval fleet has been sent out. Take the opportunity to go south and attack Atwood Sea City. Completely Deal with any naval opponents the Imperial Navy may encounter!"

The order was direct, but Dostelenko smelled the Falcon Majesty's usual death-defying style from above. The fleet immediately turned and headed towards the starting point of the transport fleet, Atwood Sea City.

After 2 days of sailing. The naval flag of the Falcon Fleet suddenly appeared on the sea surface of Atwood Sea City,

Just as the fat man expected, in order to collect enough ships to transport 20,000 troops to Nistar in the north. Atwood Sea City is the only naval force among the anti-Julius family alliance forces that has a regular maritime fleet and can pose a threat to the Falcon Navy. Now I am afraid that not even a single warship can be dispatched. The whole city is like a naked lamb, exposed in front of the wolves of the imperial fleet.

Dostelenko stared straight at it for five minutes, as if saying goodbye to the city. He took a slight breath, looked at the sky in the distance, and said lightly, "Let's fire!"

"Yes, sir!"

The adjutant loudly agreed, then turned to the flag bearer standing in the most conspicuous position on the bridge, raised his right hand high, everyone's breathing suddenly became tense, the adjutant smiled slightly, and then suddenly dropped it, like the god of death coldly raising a butcher's knife. , two flags like blood climbed up the mast of the flagship,

"Fire!" The same order was shouted from countless people at the same time

"Rumble...Rumble..." The Longya warships lined up fired first, and the side of the ship suddenly seemed like a volleyball tube was fired. White gunpowder smoke was sprayed out along with the firelight. The hull was swayed left and right by the reaction force, almost at the edge of the ship. In an instant, the sea surface seemed to be boiling. The entire fleet added up to more than 300 Thors. The scene when they were launched together was like countless little suns rising from the sea surface.

"What's that?"

The residents of Atwood Sea City, who were still watching the excitement at the port, suddenly felt a numbness in their scalps for no reason. This is a natural reaction of human beings to danger. They looked numbly and stiffly at the muzzle of the Dragon Fang battleship on the sea. Bursts of fire and smoke, and then dull eyes looked at countless white lights, passing over the vast sea, crashing down with an increasingly loud roar,

The dense and huge explosion directly swept in several shipyards outside the port.

As military targets, these docks are the focus of the Falcon Navy. Violent fires and explosions directly covered the location of the docks. Most of the docks were wooden structures and were blown apart on the spot and turned into powder. Although the docks were located far away The residential area is hundreds of meters away. The huge air wave caused by the explosion also shattered the windows of residents' houses.

"Papa"

The goods inside were scattered in all directions. A two-story hotel near the explosion site was directly blasted into a crater by the incoming fire. Someone could be faintly seen being blown into the air and then landed in a very distant place. , faced with violent explosions. There were also corpses and wreckage that continued to fall. Most of the residents of Atwood Sea City were stunned. Thick smoke and flames shrouded the direction of the port.

"Oh my God, enemy attack." There were various screams, and a group of Atwood Sea City soldiers in black uniforms rushed over quickly, but what appeared in front of them was a half-collapsed port, a mess, " Bastard, what's going on! "The team was led by a young officer with short hair. There were blood and mutilated limbs everywhere in his eyes. Fires and explosions were constantly coming from all around, and the waves of air were coming towards his face. With the smell of blood,

The huge rumbling sound made it impossible to hear anything in the ears,

Fires shot up into the sky like hell, blood was everywhere, and the road was full of debris. "Help!" A man whose right leg was blown off was leaning next to the ruins of a collapsed house, and the blood stained the ground under his feet. Ground," tell me what happened here "What!" The officer quickly ran over with the soldiers. Before he reached the side, a thunder bullet fired from the main gun on the bow of the Dragon-class battleship landed behind him, "rumbling" like a huge oval exploding under his feet. , the officer was rushed into the air by the air wave on the spot. It flew more than ten meters away before rolling down and hitting the soft soil heavily. It was considered a life-saver.

The soldiers behind him were not so lucky. More than a dozen people were swept in by the explosion of fire and turned into fly ash in the explosion. The other soldiers were completely frightened and lay on the ground and did not dare to move. The man who was still calling for help just now It was gone, and there was only a round pit with black rocks and a concave downwards. The area nearby looked as if it had just been hit by a pair of giant hands. It was so horrific that the ships were ordered to suspend their bombardment.

Dostelenko put down the telescope in his hand and sighed regretfully. Although the fleet's salvos of artillery can give the enemy a fatal blow in naval battles, facing this huge city, it is of little help. Feel.

Only the heavy-duty Thor at the bow of the Dragon-class battleship can cause a huge explosion inside, which may be terrifying power for those around the explosion point. But seen from the sea, these explosions are just a few small mushrooms that occasionally grow out of a huge mountain range, and they are like a few small drops of water falling into the sea. It is impossible to create an overwhelming destructive effect. "Since a comprehensive strike cannot be carried out, the only way is to use a deterrent strike!" Dostelenko said to himself, and ordered to the adjutant behind him, "Order each ship to destroy the military target." Later. Find valuable targets to attack on your own!"

"Yes, sir!" the adjutant replied solemnly. He knew this order. It is tantamount to telling the captains of each ship that they can fire on the city.

Ten minutes later, a more intensive second round of strikes fell violently in the center of Atwood Sea City, where more firelights and small whirlpools shook out. Black smoke pillars rose from the interior of the city, and the city fell into panic and chaos. In despair, the residents of Atwood Sea City instinctively hid in the surrounding buildings. However, more people were running on the streets, trying to rush back to their homes and save their loved ones. The roaring thunder bullets destroyed the houses. It collapsed, and pieces of limbs flew everywhere.

At this moment, even a fool knows that the entire city is a huge slaughterhouse. The Haicheng Governor's Mansion ordered the gradual evacuation of residents. However, in this messy situation, it only made the situation even more chaotic. In the rising black smoke, Buildings collapsed one after another, not only were all the people inside buried alive, but even the nearby streets were completely blocked by bricks rolling down like mudslides.

What's even more unfortunate is that some shells directly hit brick walls or windows and exploded directly inside the house. The consequences were simply catastrophic. The entire building was completely shattered from the inside out, and the flying bricks seemed to have fallen. Like rain, the surrounding residents were smashed with blood all over the ground. Many people were even directly submerged by the torrent of bricks. The streets were covered with blood everywhere.

"Tell the captains of each ship to pay more attention to the largest courtyard in the southeast of the city!" Through the telescope in his hand, Dostronkai finally discovered a target worthy of attention, which was a very open courtyard. , the yellow appearance may not be conspicuous, but the flag of Atwood Sea City hanging on the top of the building is equivalent to telling others that this is the Duke's Palace of Atwood Sea City.

"I must have forgotten it in panic!" Dostelenko smiled. Being able to use the navy to intimidate the land has always been the direction he strives for. This is not the first time that the imperial navy has attacked a city, but it has always been It is the first time that some small cities or ports have been ordered to attack such a huge city. Since comprehensive coverage cannot be achieved, the administrative and military agencies of the other party must be affected.

After receiving the order from the flagship, the Falcon Fleet's bombardment direction began to turn to the southeast of the city. When more than three hundred thunder gods concentrated on bombarding a certain area, an overwhelming momentum immediately emerged.

Dense shells fell on that area. No matter what was originally there, after the continuous violent explosions, there was basically nothing left. Not only were all the buildings collapsed, but even the residents there were destroyed. Exploded until there was not much left,

The craftsman district, the commercial district and the docks, and finally the aristocratic district in the city,

The yellow walls looked particularly gorgeous under the sunlight, the compact villas, the courtyards full of marble statues, and the grass-like meadows were all ruthlessly swept away by the incoming shells. Lose,

A large piece of precious statue fragments were blown into the air, and then fell to pieces. The beautiful fountain, rockery and flowing water in the villa also heard a roar. It disappeared without a trace, leaving only blisters popping up.

The most spectacular explosion was, of course, the spire building with the flag, which took at least fifty rounds of thunderbolts. Although the building was made entirely of stones, it was torn apart layer by layer and beaten into pieces. hornet's nest,

Staggering, like a drunken giant, suddenly trembled all over. Then it collapsed layer by layer, layer by layer. The broken bricks were like a torrent, smashing everything below with an unstoppable attitude.

Probably I have never thought of such a thing. Duke Niman, the governor of Atwood Sea City, who was pulled out of the ruins by a group of loyal followers, looked at the collapsed buildings everywhere, the thick black smoke rising into the sky, and the people fleeing everywhere. It seems that I was dumbfounded,

Standing there blankly, his bloodshot pupils were only the color of a sea of ​​fire. The city he was familiar with has completely disappeared. The streets are full of residents fleeing blindly. Many people stand in the ruins and cry. It was so miserable, as if the sky had fallen, that the city streets were drained. Dark red blood began to flow out, which was the blood that gathered from the streets into the sewers.

"Who is our enemy?"

Duke Neiman asked fearfully, and it was only then that he recovered. The city he was familiar with, the city he spent his whole life running, was lost in the sea of ​​fire, but until now, he doesn't even know who his enemy is.

The bombardment lasted two hours and eighty percent of the battleship's inventory was consumed.

The admirals of the Falcon Fleet ordered the battleship to slowly turn around before they were satisfied. Behind them, there was a burning city, with fierce burning fires everywhere, and the sky was dyed red, like crying eyes.

Just when the Falcon Navy severely damaged Atwood Sea City, Duozhu also came to Brandenburg, the center of the battle.

It was raining lightly in the sky, and large raindrops fell from the gray sky. The huge levers of hundreds of catapults were swung out. The winchman followed the order and waved the sharp ax in his hand. The roar of cracking was overwhelming and flying across the sky. Stones hit the distant city wall like raindrops,

More than a dozen infantry phalanxes gathered under the castle. Various military flags were displayed like a grocery store. The heads were densely packed like ants. The forest of spears erected made people's blood boil. Soldiers in various armors gathered together in confusion,

Brandenburg in front of them can definitely be called majestic. It is a huge ring-shaped fortress with a city wall that is ten miles long. It is like a gate that divides the entire alluvial plain into two. Before coming, Duoze once looked at it on the map. Passing through this area,

To be fair, this area is not conducive to attack, especially the location of Brandenburg. It is like a huge slope with both sides bulging towards the middle. It will undoubtedly increase the difficulty for attackers, but for defenders, it can Easy rear arrangement,

This is also the reason why both sides concentrated their forces on Brandenburg. Whoever can control this huge fortress will undoubtedly have the initiative to attack. Julius Fort concentrated its troops here, presumably doing the same thing. The plan is that as long as Brandenburg is captured, several core countries in the opposition alliance will be under the attack of Julius Fort, and then the entire situation will be completely reversed.

This war is not only fighting the soldiers of both sides, but also the hearts and minds of both sides! The opposition defending the tall city walls clearly had the upper hand, and the troops of Fort Julius Fort were clearly at a disadvantage here.

Although the stone bombs were fired in rows, for Brandenburg, which was built with solid stone barriers, it had no effect at all except a burst of white smoke. Occasionally, you could hear the laughter of the defenders from the opposite side. sarcastic voice

The soldiers were also mostly listless. The military camps all over the mountains and fields are covered with various flags. His eyes glanced at the coats of arms on several flags. Duo Zai's face was a little serious. Almost all forces in the northwest region gathered here. When he heard the news from the northwest coast, When the representative arrived, Fort Julius Ford, who was commanding from the front, ordered a truce. Anyway, there would be no results today. The soldiers returned to camp.

"His Majesty Falcon must be very leisurely recently!"

In the military tent of the camp, Julius Fort met with Duozhu alone, with a hint of blame in his tone. The Northwest Territory's delay in expressing its position made his situation more and more passive. Brandenburg could not be attacked for a long time. , if it continues, military morale will inevitably weaken!

"Lord Fu Bao is joking, your Majesty has actually been quite busy recently!" Duoze pretended to be surprised and responded with a solemn expression, "In order to build a road to Nista, your Majesty has spent fifteen days in the wild camp. Yes, Mr. Fu Bao doesn’t know this, right?”

"Building roads? It's already this time. How can he still be thinking about this? Don't tell me that he is really planning to take a carriage to Nista for a visit!" Julius Ford's tone was heavy, revealing a suppressed anger.

"Of course, why not? It is said that the scenery of Nista in autumn is charming, and His Majesty has always been thinking about it." Duoze smiled at the corner of his mouth and said indifferently, "Your Majesty asked me to bring you a message, and Nista accepted it first. , the reward will be sent soon!”

"Accept it? You mean..." Julius Ford was stunned for a moment, "Actually, the workers who built the road are all soldiers!" Duozhi said with some embarrassment. "There is no convenient road. Our army and How are the supplies going to be transported? ""Haha, beautiful!" Julius Ford reacted and couldn't help but smile bitterly. "It seems that everyone has been deceived by him. I just don't know what will happen when everyone knows the truth. reaction!

Julius Forbourg paused and asked curiously, "But what is the reward he mentioned?" "What can be confirmed at present is that a transport fleet of 20,000 troops of the Anti-Julius Alliance was sunk on the sea by the navy sent by His Majesty!" Duoze smiled helplessly. "I have already received confirmation halfway, Lord Forbourg can rest assured. I don't know anything else, maybe there will be unexpected surprises!" "20,000 people!" Julius Forbourg took a breath of cold air in disbelief, Vikia Falcon's move was indeed ruthless. At this moment, his adjutant hurried in and whispered a few words in his ear.

"What! Is this true?" Julius Forburg stood up from his seat without paying attention to his manners, and his face looked like he had seen a ghost.

"Yes, it has been confirmed. For some reason, Atwood Sea City on the opposite side announced its withdrawal from the opposition!" The adjutant nodded heavily.

"Tsk tsk, it's really a sudden turn of events!" Julius Forburg's dull face showed a happy smile for the first time.
