Weird Star Witch

Ursula left in a hurry. She rushed to the flagship Cross Gold Anchor under the escort of the knight. Cross Gold Anchor was the flagship of the Earl. The fluttering flag had a golden anchor painted on it and a huge cross on the anchor pole.

She was so uneasy that the subordinates in the castle actually wanted to board the flagship, proving that the butler Mr. Winler thought the situation was very dangerous. If the worst happened, the Cross Gold Anchor would take everyone away from the port.

When Ursula boarded the flagship, she saw Butler Winler standing on the bow of the ship, and he was wearing knight armor.

Butler Winler was the strongest knight in the Earldom besides the Earl. He was the Earl's Viscount and a Level 5 knight.

The Earldom of Golden Anchor was very powerful and now had 3 Level 5 knights. The Earl himself, the Earl's attendant, and the Earl's butler Mr. Winler. The attendant was responsible for commanding all the troops in the Earldom, and the Earl's rear was handed over to the Earl's most trusted butler Winler.

Butler Wenler would not interfere in the specific military affairs of the Royal Navy. He would only take action as the strongest knight when it was appropriate to defeat the enemy's strongest apostle.

Seeing Butler Wenler standing at the bow, holding his helmet in his arms, Ursula was less panicked.

At this time, the navy of the Alchemy Alliance had completed the encirclement and sank the Royal Navy reconnaissance ship cruising on the open sea.

Ursula couldn't help but whispered: "Where are our words? Why is there no warning?"

"The enemy's investment is very large, obscuring the divination of our words."

A voice sounded next to Ursula. She recognized the owner of the voice and hurriedly saluted: "Master Kedrick, good evening."

What good evening is there tonight? Kedrick couldn't help shaking his head. Ursula is good in every way. She is a perfect and trustworthy family wizard, but she is a little stupid.

Kedrick is the fourth son of Count Palu and is only 15 years old now. In another year, he will be qualified to leave the castle and become a junior officer in the Earl's navy or marines.

"Even the Word Spirit cannot predict the outcome of a war of this scale. The Word Spirit can predict the fate of a single person, but when there are too many people, all kinds of accidents will always occur. For example, in the current naval battle, perhaps an officer will suddenly have an idea and make a decision to change the battlefield."

Facing Master Kedrick's judgment, Ursula nodded and agreed very much. The human brain is very wonderful and always makes unexpected decisions. When there are too many unexpected things, divination becomes unreliable. Only Word Spirits above Level 5 can make vague divinations for large-scale group events.

On the sea, more than 60 ships of the Alchemy Alliance are completing the encirclement. Most of those ships are flying the flag of the United States of Elba, and a few are flying the flag of the Alchemy Council of the Carolingian Kingdom.

The enemy will definitely want to recapture the port of Kordor, and the Royal Navy has long anticipated this. If the Alchemy Council recaptures the port of Coddor, it can cut off Count Pallu's retreat and make that army completely isolated. At that time, Count Pallu's defeat is only a matter of time.

However, the participation of the Carolingian Alchemy Council exceeded the expectations of the Royal Navy. Unexpectedly, the Carolingian Alchemy Council joined the war at such an early time. The original military expected that the Carolingian Alchemy Council would join the war to help the Elba Alchemy Council when the Elba Constitutional Army was defeated on the front line.

From this incident, it can be seen that the Carolingian Alchemy Council has been preparing for war for a long time. They have colluded with the Elba Alchemy Council and do not want this restoration trend to spread. Once Carloman XVI succeeds in restoring the throne, the knights and nobles of other countries will not be at peace.

Just as Kedrick kept thinking, a ship beside him suddenly moved forward and surpassed the Cross Gold Anchor.

Kedrick saw the man standing at the bow of the ship. It was his brother, Commodore Caleb.

Seeing the shining knight's light on Caleb, the loyal knights behind Caleb, and the ships belonging to Caleb, Kedrick's eyes were full of envy.

Who wouldn't envy such a scene? It is the dream of every knight to lead his own loyal knights to launch a fearless charge against the seemingly invincible enemy.

"Master Kedrick, you will also become a heroic knight like Master Caleb!"

Kedrick wanted to say that Ursula's persuasion made him even more sad. Just being born a few years later, the fate is so different, which is really despairing. The resources invested in him by the Earl's Castle will not exceed one-fifth of those invested in Caleb. This is the difference between the first heir and the fourth heir.

There is a protruding rock reef on one side of the port of Kodor, on which twenty coastal defense guns are arranged. Those coastal defense guns have caused the Royal Navy a lot of trouble. Now encountering the Alchemy Alliance, the Royal Navy's defensive strategy is also to fight near the coast and make full use of the advantages of coastal defense guns.

Compared with the more than 60 ships of the Alchemy Alliance, the Royal Navy only has more than 40 ships, which is much less impressive. There is no way. Even if Carloman XVI attaches great importance to alchemical weapons, the number of ships they manufacture is far behind that of the Alchemy Council.

Kedrick frowned because he found that the enemy's ship layout was very cunning.

On the sea outside the port, two-thirds of the area was blocked by the navy of the Alchemy Alliance. The enemy commander's tactical intention was very clear. What they wanted was the port, leaving an escape route for the Royal Navy in the port to avoid the people in the port from being desperate.

This is the best strategy to face the knight. Choose a retreat for the knight and tell him clearly that he has a chance to escape.

As long as the knight has the idea of ​​escaping in his heart, the knight will no longer be scary.

A weak knight, a knight who is staring at the retreat, a knight who is no longer resolute in charging, will definitely not be able to exert the knight's strongest power, let alone be promoted on the battlefield, and it is impossible to turn defeat into victory.

For the knight nobles, they must rely on the alchemists who surrender to them to build alchemical ships or airships. There are alchemists who betray the parliament for money, but the number cannot be too large. Therefore, the knight's ships are difficult to build, the number of ships built is small, and the construction cost is also high.

The commander of the Royal Navy is likely to choose to abandon the port in order to retain the naval power and preserve the precious alchemical ships.

The Alchemical Alliance divided the sea into three areas. The western third was completely empty to allow the Royal Navy to escape. The middle area was arranged with small and medium-sized ships, and the eastern third was arranged with main ships. Ten 120-gun ships were arranged in the eastern waters.

The empty sea area was simply a naked temptation.

In silence, the ships of both sides were getting closer and closer, and soon entered the range of the artillery.

The artillery shells fell one after another, some of which hit the sea water, stirring up handfuls of white water splashes, and some hit the ships. The alchemical reinforcement array on the side of the ship lit up, resisting the power of the artillery.

The carrying capacity of the alchemical reinforcement array has a limit. If it is hit by too many bullets, it will still be sunk. The reinforcement array of the alchemical coalition can be repaired and adjusted at any time, and the Royal Navy does not have this advantage.

The intensity of the battle was extremely high, and the artillery of both sides was desperately spewing shells. The battle soon entered the bloodiest stage. Whoever could not bear the damage would lose first, without any fancy.

The Cross Gold Anchor was special. It was the earl's private ship, not belonging to the Royal Navy, and was located behind all ships. Therefore, Kedrick and Ursula could not see the situation in front, and the two of them were not qualified to enter the bridge.

The sound of shells colliding with the hull came from not far away, proving that the Royal Navy had been under attack.

From time to time, a ship would light up with a hazy white light belonging to the knights. That was the captain leading the knights on the ship to charge at the enemy, trying to disrupt the enemy's deployment and force the enemy to reveal flaws.

This charge was not directly facing the enemy, but at an angle, and implemented the angle-cutting tactics like the cavalry charge, rushing to the enemy's flank, cutting off some enemy ships from the flank little by little.

When the commander finally gave the order for the whole army to charge, it was the most spectacular moment. At that time, all the ships would move straight forward and smash into the enemy like the heavily armored knights on land, but this time had not yet come.     Half an hour after the battle began, Kedrick saw one of his ships being sunk. He held the railing tightly with both hands, and only hated that he could not join the battlefield and beat the enemy for the golden anchor flag.

Ursula also noticed Kedrick's abnormal behavior. She said, "Master, don't worry. Sooner or later, you will go to the battlefield."

"How can I not worry? This is a life-and-death battle for the Earl of Golden Anchor Castle. If we lose, our two hundred years of accumulation will be buried overnight..."

But they both knew that Master Kedrick would only be a hindrance if he went to a certain ship now.

At this moment, Ursula suddenly said, "Master, I know a very powerful wizard! He has nothing to do now. Otherwise, let's ask him for help!"

Kedrick thought it was too ridiculous at first, but after a moment, he suddenly became interested and his eyes brightened a little.

Ursula suggested to secretly leave the Cross Golden Anchor, but Kedrick knew that the disappearance of the Earl's fourth son and the Earl's wizard at this time would definitely cause trouble for Butler Wenler.

Kedrick found Butler Wenler, and to Kedrick's surprise, Butler Wenler actually agreed to Kedrick's plan.

Seeing the serious look on Butler Wenler's face, Kedrick understood that the situation must be more serious than what he saw.

Rudolph in the distance was searching for the airship of the Carolingian Alchemy Council in the distance.

Large ships will carry airships, just like aircraft carriers in the previous life, which can greatly increase the combat effectiveness of the ship. It's a pity that there is no old acquaintance, the Silver Flame, which makes Rudolph a little disappointed.

But think about it carefully, the Silver Flame can't come here. The Silver Flame belongs to the army and is a land-based airship, not a ship-borne airship belonging to the fleet. The ship-borne airship is much smaller in size, not as huge as the Silver Flame. The Silver Flame also has to watch the Ruhr mining area, and it can't be easily transferred here.

"Turn off the lights, don't let us be the first bird, this place is not far from the port."

After turning off the lights, the three sat in the yard, quietly watching the war in the distance, as if watching a large fireworks show, and the three people at the stone table became the most leisurely people in this world.

Rudolph said in the distant sound of gunfire: "Why fight and kill? Just like us, sitting on a chair, blowing the sea breeze, eating dried squid, how good is this life?"

Cooper didn't like the taste of dried squid. He was about to say something, but suddenly shrank his neck.

I don't know which gunner was so stupid that he fired the shell towards the wooden house far away from the port. The shell exploded a few hundred meters away from the wooden house, scaring Cooper.

Cooper looked at Rudolph who was still calm and couldn't help but suggest: "Why don't we stop pretending? They are fighting, let's hide first."

Yvonne smiled and looked at Rudolf. She also felt that war was such a cruel thing, and it was not good for the three of them to sit by and watch it so carefree.

Rudolf said: "Pretend for a while, pretend for a while... We have to let them see how leisurely we are."

When the Royal Navy was at a great disadvantage, they would devote all their strength to the battlefield. A level 4 wizard like Rudolf would definitely be remembered by them, and then Rudolf could negotiate with them.

Compared with the relaxed appearance, Rudolf was a little anxious.

The appearance of the Carolingian Navy made Rudolf feel that Viscount Paulus's promise to send him to the southern continent might go wrong.

The Restoration Army itself might lose this war. If this port was captured by the Alchemy Alliance, Count Pallu, who rushed into the inland, would not be able to protect himself, let alone Rudolf.

While throwing dried fish into his mouth, he thought about his way out. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he could not be so rigid and should change his way.

Some people say that war is fought with strategy, tactics, and morale, but war is ultimately fought with productivity. The cavalry corps is undoubtedly the most powerful on land, but on the sea and in the sky, the alchemist's assembly line factory has a stronger productivity, much stronger than the knight.

The Royal Navy, which was already at a disadvantage in terms of the number of ships, showed signs of fatigue one hour after the war began, and 6 ships had been sunk. At this time, only 2 ships of the Alchemy Alliance caught fire, and they had more ships. The Alchemy Alliance was almost certain to win this battle.

Rudolf was worried about the Royal Navy. His new thigh was not thick enough...

Just as Rudolf was constantly thinking about what he should do, a team of cavalry suddenly came from a distance. The cavalry of the Earl's Castle escorted a person and ran towards the wooden house. The one in front was Ursula who had returned.

After getting off the horse, Ursula ran towards Rudolf with an anxious face.

"Mr. Rudolf, Steward Wenler said he would mobilize all forces! He asked me to talk to you. The Count's Castle asks you to help the Royal Navy. The castle will remember your generosity!"

Steward Wenler certainly remembered that there were three level 4 heretics living here. If this force could help, it would be a big boost for the Royal Navy.

Seeing the three people drinking wine, eating dried fish, and looking at the leisurely appearance of the port in the yard, Ursula was choked with a breath. She felt very scared, afraid that the three people would refuse. This is a war between the Elba Knight and the Alchemist. How can you ask these three passers-by to fight for Count Pallu?

Rudolf turned his head and moved his eyes from the port battlefield to Ursula's face. Seeing Rudolf's empty eyes, Ursula rubbed the corners of her clothes at a loss, just like when she made her teacher unhappy when she was a child.

"Ursula, you know us a little bit, how can you make such a request?"

"Ah?" Faced with Rudolf's questioning, Ursula was even more at a loss.

"We three are all Carolingians. You want us three Carolingians to fight against the Carolingians for your earl. Is it possible?"

"Mr. Rudolf!" Ursula almost cried: "I heard from Viscount Paulus that you and your friends were wanted by the Carolingian Alchemy Council and had to flee the Carolingian Kingdom..."

"We are only wanted by the Alchemy Council, not by the Carolingian Kingdom.

How can I not be excited to see the familiar Carolingian flag again at the southern end of this distant continent?

How can I not be excited to hear the familiar hometown accent in this unfamiliar seaside port?

On those Carolingian ships, they are our old friends from a foreign land! They are our beloved relatives!"

Rudolf said in an unusual atmosphere:

"Yes! Add! Money!"

"Ah?" Ursula didn't react for a moment. Mr. Rudolf's face was full of anger. Did he agree or not?
