Main text 2377 The Emperor's Sword (Sixteen)

The order from the commander caused the entire battleship to change from silence to boiling. "Light up the whole ship and turn on all firepower!" The voices of countless Imperial sailors burst out at once, and an Imperial Marine standing between the deck and the cabin The sailor, fearing that his voice would be muffled, quickly ran to the middle gun room and opened fire, did you hear it? Full firepower! The soldier's voice came down from the upload, and he raised his right hand in excitement, making a vigorous downward gesture towards his companions in the cabin, and then crossed it horizontally across his chest, repeating this action again,

His business, in the closed cabin, was like rolling thunder, resounding through the gun cabin,

Full firepower means the gun bay can also fire. The Imperial artillerymen who had endured most of the night all turned around and finally started! They are the soul of the Imperial Navy and the sharpest teeth of the Empire. As a result, under the silent instructions from the superiors, everyone could only watch the ship-borne soldiers having fun for most of the night. The eyes of the gunners Everyone was so excited, weren’t there just a few hundred people? If Thor is allowed to fire, I believe that the opponent will collapse with just one random shot, but there is no way. The order above is like this. The artillerymen are lying on the small hole facing the outside of the shelling cabin and watching. When they hear the order being issued, where can they go? Able to live peacefully,

"Everyone is in position, we can't let those ship-borne soldiers get the upper hand. If word gets out, everyone will be embarrassed to see anyone! The target is two hundred meters, catapult!"

The person in charge of the gun room opened his voice and shouted, he could finally masturbate happily. What are you waiting for? He had been staring at the opponent's catapult for a long time, even though the Shanlin had been modified and had thickened sides and a top deck. It is not afraid of the bombardment of slings, but it does not mean that it will not be penetrated. The high impact caused by slings is still the most deadly enemy of the hull.

Shanlin is the largest weapons transport ship of the Imperial Navy's Logistics Operations Department. Its stature is slightly shorter than the Empire's main battleship Dragon. Compared with other battleships, it is a real giant. The Shanlin's gun bay is on the second floor. Twenty seconds after the order was issued, With bang! Snap! Snap! six crisp sounds. The six thick wooden covers on the sides of the ship, painted in the same color as the hull, suddenly opened outwards,

"Gruck!" The muzzles of six black Thor guns made the sound of metal rubbing against the ship's deck, and they poked out from the shelling ports behind these covers with murderous intent.

The black muzzle was illuminated by the light coming from inside the cabin. It became more and more ferocious and terrifying. The cabin, which was originally black, became bright. The oil lamp hanging in the cabin was lit, and bright lights shone from the cabin on the side of the huge hull, like a small golden sun. Rising above the port, it is like a dream, as if a prosperous mirage suddenly appeared on the sea.

"What is going on?" Seeing this scene in front of him, the Fezer heavy infantryman closest to the hull had no idea how to react.

"Sir Aurelio. Are you sure this is a merchant ship?" When Sheriff Aravind, who was standing two hundred meters away, saw this scene, his face turned livid, and he gritted his teeth and wanted to give Aurelio a kick.

How could a police officer who had been in a port city for several years fail to see that the huge ship in front of him, which was as concealed as a merchant ship, was obviously a warship full of combatants. His eyes looked very remorsefully towards the top of the mast of the giant fleet, illuminated by a patch of light. What I suddenly saw was a blue Imperial Falcon flag flying.

Blue Falcon flag! When was it hung on it?

Sheriff Aravind trembled slightly. His pupils tightened. He originally thought that he could pretend to be a misunderstanding and call back all the troops, but the current situation seemed impossible. The other party raised the naval flag, which meant that the other party had made up his mind to fight.

He was fighting against a Falcon Empire Navy warship, what a big deal! Sheriff Aravind shook his body, and there was a trace of bitterness in the corner of his mouth. When he came just now, he took a special look and saw that there was no flag on the top of the mast. With Aurelio's words, he naturally regarded it as a flag. An ordinary Falcon Empire merchant ship, except that it is a little larger and the back is used to cover up The procedure is a little more troublesome, and everything else is under my control. Who knows that it will change suddenly in the blink of an eye, just like winter hunting. I thought there was a little fox in the hole, but after working for a long time, an angry fox emerged from it. At the extreme, like a giant dragon breathing hot flames from its nose,

"Quick, give the order, everyone withdraw immediately!" Sheriff Aravind's reaction was not slow. His body trembled and he was immediately awakened by the dangerous atmosphere in front of him. The huge cabin with four layers in the distance was instantly The lights were bright, and the feeling was like a sleepy sea beast suddenly getting a needle, and all the spikes on its body exploded.

The danger is so chilling that it means that the other party is in a combat state, which means that the other party can no longer tolerate it. The Falcon Empire Navy has used powerful naval battles since it set foot in the waters of the Obarro Continent. The sharp weapon Thor shattered the confidence of the navies of the Obaro nations, and the cruelty of the imperial navy had long been Across the sea, Gangfei was proven. The attack on the capital of Gangfei shocked the entire continent. One-third of the capital of Gangfei was reduced to ashes overnight, and tens of thousands of people died. , directly forced the Gangfei Empire to move to the capital, and even dared to blow up the imperial capital of the Gangfei Empire. What does a little Luansok mean to him?

"Lord Aravind, there is no point in hesitating at this time. The strength of the Falcon Empire Navy in the inland sea is obvious to all. How can we listen to the explanation of a small sheriff? On the contrary, we have hundreds of people and can even mobilize the entire city's troops. The opponent It's not impossible to seize only one ship with all your strength! As long as you take down the opponent's warship and deal with all the people on it, what do you need to say? Isn't it just a word from your lord?"

Aurelio was standing next to him, with a hint of sarcasm in his mouth and a gloomy face. He did not expect that what he was facing was an Imperial Navy battleship. Instead, it was the other party's posture that made him realize at once that he had really lost. It’s not unfair. If he hadn’t forced out the prototype tonight, he wouldn’t have expected that he would be facing the Imperial Navy. The one that swept away all the trading houses in Luansok and turned the big plan that the merchant group had spent countless efforts into a bleak and terrible thing. opponent,

It is not the northern business alliance that is expected to be in a state of distress. But the Falcon Empire Navy Department, which has always been watching like a ferocious beast.

It is not difficult to understand where the other party invested such a huge amount of money. Just one Luansoke cost millions. Then the other ports affected in the southern part of the inland sea are estimated to add up to more than 20 million.

As a branch leader of the Double-Headed Eagle Business Group who has access to some of the core members. Aurelio certainly knew the inside story of the top ten business groups in the south who raised twelve million golden tickets for Lisbon. In order to curb the expansion of the northern business alliance, the ten top business groups joined forces in a rare big deal, and raised twelve million in gold tickets. As expected, the golden ticket worth 10,000 yuan caused Lisbon businessmen to go completely crazy, so much so that no one considered the risks hidden in it.

The Lisbonto incident dealt a heavy blow to the business alliance. By the way, a war of annihilation was launched against the small and medium-sized chambers of commerce in the country. No matter from which aspect, the top ten business groups will be the final winners of the greatest benefits. Even if Lisbonto greatly eliminates the fluctuations caused by the intervention of the empire's high-level officials, at least in the country . The top ten business groups have successfully completed the unification through this fluctuation.

But unexpectedly, the other party completely ignored Lisbonto's embarrassment. Instead, he suddenly launched an attack at the last moment with even greater funds. He swept across like a storm and disappeared immediately after appearing, regardless of the time or place of action. They are all impeccably grasped, this throat-sealing sword, one evening. In less than two hours, this throat-sealing sword had penetrated the situation that the ten major business groups had painstakingly arranged.

In the southern port city, a large number of gold tickets that had been pocketed by the top ten business groups were swept away with one hand, leaving a mess waiting for the top ten business groups to clean up.

You must know that it is not just small and medium-sized businessmen who are affected by the fluctuations this time. There are also those small and medium-sized nobles who are not of high rank. No one will tolerate their wealth being ruthlessly plundered. Now I dare to be angry but dare not speak out. Once the storm is over. When the golden tickets of the Business Alliance are returned, these small and medium-sized nobles who hate the top ten business groups to the core will definitely use all the power they can use to retaliate against the top ten business groups.

If the top ten business groups control the economic lifeline of the entire kingdom, these small and medium-sized nobles will not be afraid of the power. The problem is that if the top ten business groups failed, it would be a very violent counterattack! It was so beautiful that even the enemy had to admire it. Aurelio felt a hint of emotion in his heart. He looked at the imperial warship in the distance and suddenly laughed. The other party actually helped him secretly. Well, if Aravind was just perfunctory before, then At this moment, we have been forced to a dead end. Attacking an Imperial merchant ship without authorization can be explained as a misunderstanding. Attacking an Imperial Navy warship is another matter. The problem is that if we drag the garrison into the water, we will The person in charge of a business group seems to have much lighter responsibilities.

"Aurelio, you're a bastard!"

Aravind was so heartbroken that he almost pulled a handful of hair from his head! He was inexplicably involved in such a predicament. Everything was thanks to Aurelio. If he had known this, he should not have gone into this muddy water. At this time, this bastard was still encouraging himself to attack the imperial warship. It seemed that he had already Ready to put all the responsibility on yourself

"The country has long been dissatisfied with the Falcon Empire. Maybe your actions tonight will be in line with the Prime Minister's wishes!" Aurelio knew that at this time, he could only push Aravin forward with all his strength.

He looked away from a distance, clenched his hands unconsciously, and said in a deep voice, "Lord Aravind, now that we have reached this point, there is only one way to go to the end. What we are doing now is actually not completely wrong. I I don’t believe that the prime minister didn’t specifically give you an order to contain the Falcon Empire’s merchant ships, otherwise even if you had a hundred courages, you wouldn’t have agreed so happily tonight!”

"You!" Aravin looked at Aurelio with a hint of horror in his eyes. Aurelio's words touched Aravin's heart. If he really used force against the Imperial Navy, he might not be able to survive! Domestically, the country has long been dissatisfied with the Falcon Empire. Last month, the Prime Minister even sent a special letter, asking him to curb the entry and exit of Falcon Empire merchant ships starting from that month and cooperate with the Kingdom's first merchant group, the Double-Headed Eagle Merchant Group. In addition to watching the economic suppression of the Imperial Business Group, such as the huge turmoil caused by the devaluation of the Business Alliance's gold tickets, he also suspended it on the grounds of illness. In the past few days, the approval procedures for ships in the port to go to sea have completely blocked the channels for the outward flow of gold tickets from the Commercial Alliance. As a result, most of the merchants in the city who have gold tickets have no choice but to accept a few trades in the city. The agency's wanton price reduction, I heard that in the Istan Empire in the east, the six southern coalition forces have torn the last fig leaf and are making all-out efforts to attack the imperial army in Istan.

"Mobilize all the troops in the city, the garrison, the security office, all the people that can be mobilized to the port! I don't believe that thousands of people can't take a ship!" Aurelio was still fanning the flames there, and Aravin was finally said When he moved, he pointed his mouth viciously at the person behind him. The adjutant issued an order to mobilize all the manpower. At this moment, the only thing left was to take a gamble. "Let's start a war. If a war is destined to break out tonight, then let me light it with my own hands!" Aravin turned around with bloodshot eyes. The light above shone in his eyes, like The flames were ignited, and at the same time the attack on the Falcon Empire battleship also began. Countless arrow clusters flew from the side of the ship high up, and a bloody morning mist exploded among the scattered Fezer garrison below. Hundreds of people Thirty or forty people were knocked down by a single volley, a violent blow. Let the others squat behind the shields and lie on the ground, not even daring to raise their heads. They could only use the corner of their eyes to see their companions wailing after being hit by arrows. Countless crossbow arrows were deeply inserted into the ground around them, and gravel was splattered in all directions. , like a large white flower suddenly bursting out on the ground,

In the gun cabin of the Shanlin, a loader used his calloused hands to steadily start the hook axle, and slid the Thor's 10-kilogram shell into the gun barrel again along the grease-filled channel. The other two gunners Do your best in your respective positions Turning the steering wheel, the position of the gun cabin is a bit high. To aim at a distant target, the muzzle needs to be tilted downward. It is a bit troublesome to load the front breech of the gun like the Navy Thor. After calibrating it several times, I finally got the shell to squat at the bottom obediently. The location of the shot,

"Let's start!" The loader pressed down with all his strength with both hands, "Boom!" The huge shooting sound shook the sea and the sky at the port at the same time, and a white light was seen violently spraying from the side of the Shanlin. When it came out, almost in the blink of an eye, the white light was already dragging its eye-catching tail and penetrated heavily into the distance. At the position where the catapult was set up, the Fezer garrison next to the catapult was still pulling the winch. In his eyes, the huge white light was like a point that quickly turned into everything. "Boom!" The huge explosion slammed into the catapult. In front of the catapult, broken wood flew across the sky, and the flash of light and the rolling heat wave burned everyone's retinas.

On the evening of May 30th, Luansok, the empire declared full-scale war on the six southern countries!

I'm sorry to disappoint everyone last night. Baozi originally started writing at eight o'clock in the evening, but who knew that he fell asleep while writing it. It was already ten o'clock when he woke up. I'm a little tired these days, National Day Syndrome. I overplayed my game and was exhausted. I apologize again. (To be continued)
