Realm of Power

clang! clang! files!

The port bell, which represented an abnormal situation, rang over the entire city. Just when everyone was surprised, a cavalryman from the city guard galloped past the street, his horse's hooves trampling on the dry stone paving on the street. of Judah Like a drum beating, shouting, "Pirates have entered the port, the whole city is under martial law, no one is allowed to take to the streets!" At the security garrison camp, the citizens of Luansock can see the guards inside through the wooden rafts The soldiers were running in panic. :. The light cavalry in red and yellow mounted their horses, and the garrison training officer shouted loudly. It seemed that it was indeed quite urgent. More than a dozen catapults placed in the camp were also pushed out by the garrison.

"Lord Aravind, is it too much to make such a fuss?" Aurelio couldn't help but frown slightly when he heard the sound of the bell. His eyes fell not far away, and he was leading a small group of soldiers in from the port entrance. a strong man

"Sir Aurelio, I know that you don't want this matter to get bigger, but rashly attacking a Falcon Empire merchant ship without a sufficient reason will be very troublesome! Just let the whole city know, we The defense team is fighting pirates!" The strong man said with a sneer at O'Leary. Leo's angry eyes didn't mind, "It seems that Sir Aurelio's test failed sadly!" The strong man turned his eyes to the merchant ship in the darkness, and at the same time he saw the fallen people on the ground. There were many uniforms of the double-headed eagle merchant smuggling team mixed in among the corpses, with white feathers of arrow clusters stuck on them. At first glance, it looks like a white carpet has been rolled out in the port under the blowing of the sea breeze. "Sir Aravind, your joke is not funny at all!" Aurelio said with an ugly expression and a ferocious tone. "On the contrary, It is within your jurisdiction that such vicious pirates have appeared, hurting Dozens of lives were lost in our business group, but the port was helpless. Once such news spreads, your assessment for this year will be over, and I believe that the Prime Minister does not want his pocketbook to suffer a sharp drop because of this incident. The situation is such that your position will be in jeopardy! "

"Pirates? Are you kidding? The entire Luansock is about to go bankrupt. Which pirate would rob Luansock at this time!" Upon hearing Aurelio's words, the strong man's calm expression curled up slightly at the corner of his mouth. His eyes suddenly became sharp, and he said in a serious voice, "On the contrary, Mr. Aurelio, so many casualties occurred at the port tonight, do you not need an explanation?"

"Explanation? Your Excellency, you want to spy on the secrets of the Double-Headed Eagle Merchant Group?" Aurelio smiled coldly, gently brushing his fingers over the silver cane in his hand. "If that's the case. I can say it, but do you dare to listen, Your Excellency?" All you need to know is that the other party is a pirate. For other things, just ask It's useless! If this matter is done properly, the business group can consider saying a good word or two to the Prime Minister during this winter general meeting, and I can also promise that I will never forget you. That woman was delivered to the Lord unscathed!"

"Are you telling the truth?" The strong man's expression changed. With his eyes gleaming, he had to consider the weight provided by Aurelio, it was really irresistible!

Most people in Feize know that behind the Double-Headed Eagle Merchant Group is the royal family. Many confidential matters of the royal family are handled by the Double-Headed Eagle Merchant Group. As the other party said, there are some things that the other party dares to say, and he really He may not dare to listen, but the other conditions mentioned by the other party made his heart move. According to the weight of the Double-Headed Eagle Business Group. If he was willing to put in a few good words for himself in front of the prime minister, it would be a certainty that he would be transferred to a higher-level provincial capital. There was also the widow who was born in a third-grade noble family, which he had always wanted to get. But considering the identity of the other party, if it is the Double-Headed Eagle Business Group, there will be no problem. Isn't kidnapping something that the Double-Headed Eagle Business Group is best at?

Don't look at the fact that Luansok is the largest trading city in Fezer. As a police officer, he is a coveted job. In fact, how many people know how many forces behind them need to be managed up and down, and if one thousand gold coins are collected, and finally one hundred gold coins fall into their hands, it is enough to sneer, and how many powerful families are still here. How difficult it is to be caught in the middle of the entanglement and strife at the port, as a little peace officer, a small person who is not even a fourth-grade noble! The most important thing is that it is too dangerous here. He is always facing the huge pressure of the Falcon Empire Navy Fleet in the north. This period of time has stretched his nerves to the extreme.

The relationship between the six southern countries and the Falcon Empire is already very tense. It is not known when an undeclared war will begin. At that time, Luansok will be the battlefield. He will have a garrison of 3,000 people against millions of troops. , what’s the use of the Northern Falcon Empire with thousands of battleships! "Is the other party really a pirate?"

The strong man finally asked. He knew it was redundant. The reason why he asked this was just to cheer himself up. After all, he was a merchant ship of the Falcon Empire, and it took courage to take action! , he is the Sheriff Aravind, a strong man with a gloomy expression, nearly two meters tall, the high-collared horn-buttoned Sheriff’s uniform is fully stretched by his tall and strong body, and a pair of flat triangular eyes that reveal Undisguised greed and ferocity, the first feeling when approaching , like a mountain pressing down, the identity of this sheriff should be accurately calculated as a soldier. Luansoke is a front-line border area, and the local garrison stationed in the city is actually a border guard. In terms of weapons and equipment, The above is already the configuration of Feize's regular army.

Infantrymen holding heavy shields in their hands continued to come in from the port entrance. The number continued to increase, and soon reached more than a thousand. The soldiers lined up, holding gleaming weapons in their hands, and more than a dozen military heavy slingers. The weapons are being assembled and set up on the spot by military craftsmen, showing very good qualities. The regular army is the regular army, and it is not comparable to the business group. "Of course the other party is a pirate! Otherwise, you think I would even You can't even take down a merchant ship, but you have to lose so many people?" Oyario said with an annoyed look. He looked really anxious. He looked at the sky and saw that it was already midnight, and urged: Hurry up. Kill all the people on it, and then burn the whole ship." Of course he would not tell the other party the real situation. Now he could only cover up the matter as quickly as possible. Although Sheriff Aravind's question made him unhappy, he also There is no way,

The firepower on the ship is too strong, and it is impossible to take it down by oneself. The only way to do this is to mobilize the garrison. Aurelio believed that the conditions he proposed were enough to satisfy Aravind's greed. According to the combat power of the garrison, which was close to that of a regular army, even a fortress could be conquered. At that time, in the name of pirates, all the people on the ship will be killed, so that the other party will not be able to investigate and die without any evidence! "First Squadron!"

Aravind also felt that he could not ask any more questions and gave up his intention to continue asking. The other party was just a merchant ship. No matter how powerful he is, can he still stop hundreds of heavily armed troops? What a joke! He looked at the corpse covered with arrow clusters in the distance, hesitated for a moment, and raised his hand. From the arrow clusters on the corpse, he could tell that the firepower of this merchant ship was not ordinary.

The first squadron is a heavily armored squadron. Unless the opponent uses slings, the damage it can cause is very limited. It could be used as a test. Following his order, more than a hundred infantrymen holding thick tower shields began to move forward. The armor on these infantrymen was very thick, and their iron boots clicked on the ground. The tower shield covers from the feet to the eyes, and the weight of the whole body is only thirty or forty pounds. In fact, Fezer's heavy infantry armor weighs forty pounds, which is a heavy weight. These soldiers moved very slowly, and the ground they stepped on was lifted up again, and the dust was raised, like a steel wall slowly approaching the hull.

"Sir, do you want to attack?" An Imperial sailor holding a crossbow asked for instructions.

"Ignore them, let them come over. They are wearing such thick clothes. Even if they are given a ladder, will they be able to climb up?" On the dark and silent ship's side deck, the young naval officer raised his hand calmly. Although Noras is the main person in charge of the plan, he is not responsible for the operations. The operations are still directed by the officers attached to the Navy Department. This can ensure the proficient application of naval combat methods. Naval operations and army operations are completely different things. Land operations are completely different. If you copy the tactics of fighting, you are bound to suffer big losses. Just like using heavy infantry to open the way is not wrong, but who has seen heavy infantry wearing thirty or forty pounds being able to climb a light hook?

If you can't get on the deck, it's a waste. When the time comes, you can easily get rid of it by shooting from above with a crossbow.

"Come on!"

Feser's heavy infantry below burst out with strong will, panting, and still accelerating crazily. Mainly because of the silence on the hull, these heavy infantry also felt a little hairy in their hearts. The closer they got to the hull, the more corpses on the ground. It also began to become slippery. Someone fell to the ground while running, and his hands were covered with his hands. The liquid, blown by the sea breeze, turned into a sticky blood color. I don't know whether it was his own or the ground. The corpses on the ground died in all kinds of cruel ways, which made people panic. Feize Heavy Infantry only wished that it would be sooner. Passing through this death zone, Fezer's heavy infantry rushed under the hull in one breath, their wheezing gasps floating in the wind.

"Smash it!"

A heavy infantryman shouted loudly and slammed the weapon in his hand against the hull of the ship, clang! , it turned out to be a sound like hitting metal. The weapon rebounded suddenly and hit himself hard. It was so hard that there was not even a white spot on the hull. If he were not wearing heavy armor, this heavy infantryman would be He was injured by his own weapon, and the scene in front of him made the heavy infantry man stunned.

They are infantry and are not unfamiliar with the navy. They have no idea that the wood that can be used to build ships is naturally the hardest wood. The source of wood for the imperial warships is the hard black ironwood from Nord. As strong as iron, it almost caused the Falcon Navy to suffer a big loss back then, not to mention the mountains and forests in front of them. The ship has been specially reinforced. It has two decks and the side of the ship. The weapons wielded by humans have no effect at all. Heavy infantry, you look at me and I look at you. Then you raise your head and look at the side of the ship that is more than ten meters high. There is a kind of pale powerlessness. I feel like a frog falling into a well without any tools. Should we jump on it? What a joke

"Haha, I have long heard that Sir Aravind has first-class command skills. When I saw him today, he is indeed well-deserved!" Aurelio behind him smiled for the first time on his face. This was so funny.

"Asshole!" Sheriff Aravind's eyes were bloodshot. He didn't expect that the other party didn't react at all, and he realized that copying the army's combat method was indeed quite idiotic.

If word of tonight's incident spreads, I am afraid that he will immediately become the laughing stock of the entire Feize military community. For the first time, Sheriff Aravind felt that everyone on the opposite boat deserved to die. Lelio's eyes also showed a hint of ferocity. The other party clearly knew that heavy infantry was ineffective against the ship's hull. Just sitting back and watching him make a fool of himself was simply more hateful than the pirates on the ship. You bastard, I will deal with you one day!

"If it were me, I would send out light infantry to climb and attack, use archers to hold down the formation, and after luring the opponent out, I can use slings to suppress it. Okay, Lord Aravind, hurry up, I don't want to wait until dawn! "Aurelio covered his mouth with a handkerchief very gracefully, and coughed awkwardly under Aravind's gaze. He could see Aravind deflated, which was a rare relief from his depression.

"What is Lord Aravind thinking about driving the heavy infantry to charge the ship? Even a businessman like me knows that ordinary weapons are useless against the thick hull!

"The second squadron is pressing forward, the archers are following closely, and the slings are ready! Everyone, get on me!"

Aravind's face was ferocious as he was stimulated. He could no longer care so much. The other party was just a merchant ship, a target that could be crushed with just a move of his fingers. He actually lost such a huge amount of public funds. In order to save face, He had decided to press all the soldiers aboard. Even if it was done by hand, he would sink the hateful imperial merchant ship and kill all the people on it. Although he only mobilized There was a garrison of several hundred people, but the port was only so large. They all rushed in at once. The crowds were suddenly crowded, and the cold light flashed. The infantry groups lined up and marched in. The sound of footsteps was like the sound of waves crashing on the shore. A hundred people carrying quivers behind them The multi-bow shooters followed closely behind the queue, and the racks of more than a dozen catapults began to make a rattling sound. "Sir, the opponent has begun a full-scale attack!" The naval officer pushed away from the deck. At the door of the last cabin, under the dim light, Lawrence was writing down something on a piece of paper. When he heard the naval officer's words, he stopped writing and raised his head to look outside. There were dense crowds of people heading towards the battleship. "Come here." The other party dispatched a garrison?" Noras raised his eyebrows slightly. "Yes!" The naval officer nodded and replied, "Then, let's start! Let tonight become a historical moment! Plan!" "The plan was officially launched." Noras wrote the last content on the report with a pen, stood up from his seat, and showed a grin on his face. "The regional garrison actually attacked the Imperial Navy's warship. Is there any better reason to start a war than this!" "Yes, I understand!" The naval officer turned around and ordered to the Imperial Navy sailors around him, "Cancel the control and use all firepower on the ship!" (To be continued.)
