Power and Empire Chapter 1672: In the name of Falcon (10)
The fierce sea breeze blows away the white smoke from the battleship Qi Shi, exposing the already messy Huacheng Harbor. After half an hour’s round, King Raphael’s will to resist is like being blown up. The outer circle of the port was all collapsed, the soldiers were escaping, and the port area was in chaos. The gunfire from the other side extended towards the center of the city, and the rising fire illuminates half of the port area.
"What should we do now?"
The King of County Raphael placed his hands heavily on the battlements of the castle and looked at the fleet in the distance. His eyes were bloodshot. A terrible explosion raged in his city. A huge wave of air moved the city like a behemoth. Buildings were overturned, countless white lines, long tails dragging thick black smoke, came with the brilliance of death, and a deviated arc slammed heavily on the walls of the castle
"Boom Rumble"
The King of Raphael County suddenly felt a huge vibration at his feet. The city wall built with stones on the island was directly blown up in the explosion. The soldiers on it were like black spots thrown into the air, mixed With countless gravel and sand falling from the height of the city wall to the bottom,
"I can't give your Highness reasonable advice, because I don't know what to do!" Alange stood beside him, his eyes serious and solemn, watching the fleet on the sea in the distance can be called the most magnificent performance , Said intently, "It is also the first time I have seen the terrifying weapon Thor. I didn’t expect that the opponent’s hunting **** would have such a huge power. The super long distance and huge destructive power have already transformed the opponent’s navy. It has completely surpassed the capabilities that the original navy should have and has become a super weapon that can threaten the entire coastline. It is conceivable that if you refuse to continue, what a terrible scene will be caused."
Alange's voice stopped and persuaded, "If it were me, I would follow his advice and choose to surrender. Don't forget, the opponent is Kasili Island, which once destroyed the hub of the northern seas, in front of such a fleet. Your flower city is really nothing. Caseyli Island has a strong fortress, a powerful frigate, and a garrison of 20,000 soldiers. It is the foothold of the empire full of ambitions in the northern waters, but it is like this The place did not even block the fierce attack from the fleet in front of me. If your Highness continues to hesitate, I have no doubt that the other party has no plan to land at all. Instead, it will directly razed the entire city to the ground."
"Come here. Speak to the sea fleet. I surrendered! Stop bombing!"
The face of King Raphael County turned in pain and ordered the steward behind him. The fierce Qi from the surface of the sea made him have no doubt about the opponent's combat goal. I want to completely erase the entire Huacheng from the map. In the contrast of this absolute disparity in power, my persistence is so ridiculous and sad,
"Since your Highness has made a decision, then I will not delay your Highness!" Arang said to King Raphael
"Are you going to run away?" King Raphael looked at this guy who wanted to put oil on the soles of his feet. He hated his teeth and gave him his dignity, family, and gold mine. This is the return you get? That's ridiculous! . King Raphael felt a bit sad for his situation. As a puppet, Gangfei would never hesitate when he had to abandon it, just like the present one. The enemy is approaching, Gang Fei is not helping himself to resist, but to persuade himself to surrender. His purpose is only one, that is, not to let Gang Fei get involved in this vortex. He is a collaborator even worse than a robber!
"This is a affair between Putao and the Falcon Empire. As a soldier, I must be responsible for my country. Please forgive me!" Alange replied solemnly, and then quickly turned and left. The non-navy squadron did not dock at the port, but on the other side of the island. Now that Huacheng surrenders, the Falcon Navy’s attention will not be placed on the other side of the island for the time being. It is the best time to leave.
Soon, the rumbling sound from the distant sea stopped
8 huge troop carriers left the fleet on the sea and approached the port. The troop carriers were fully loaded with soldiers, each carrying as many as 700 people. The bows were heavily splitting the sea and pushing the billowing waves. , As the landing force of the Falcon Navy, these troop carriers rushed to the nearby beach with the waves, the huge baffle was lowered, and countless soldiers in black armor swarmed down from above. These soldiers quickly swarmed into the entire Huacheng Port and controlled In the streets and alleys, another small fast battleship arrived at the beach. This time, more than 30 black armored cavalry came out, and black armored cavalry lined up on the beach. Then the horseshoes are flying towards King Raphael’s castle, in front is the falcon flag fluttering in the wind, behind the horseshoes is the billowing dust,
The leader of the team is Kester, the captain of the fifth squadron of the guards. This young Falcon officer is burly, tall and sturdy. Against the background of a heavy black armor, he looks like a black iron tower with a pair of sharp From under the helmet, he looked towards the castle in the distance. Ten minutes later, the cavalry entered the castle for about 100 meters. He raised his head and looked at the castle that was getting closer and closer, raising his hand and shouting "Stop"
The black cavalry behind "Wa" kept the horses in a neat row, and raised a cloud of smoke from a hundred meters away from the castle.
"What do you want to do?"
The King Raphael on the castle saw that he was frustrated. It was the first time he heard about the Falcon Empire in the north, but from the timidity shown by Gang Fei, one can imagine this Falcon Empire. What a powerful existence, such a powerful empire, sent a fleet to attack his little flower city, it really made him feel incomprehensible,
"Excuse me, is your Highness the King of Raphael County?"
At this moment, he saw the leading cavalry officer under the castle raising his head, and he saw Raphael’s unusually gorgeous clothes, plus the nervousness of everyone nearby, he had decided that this guy was His Majesty Falcon. The call of the cavalry officer who was looking for made Raphael's hand tightly squeeze the city wall, and his nervous breathing became hurried. After hesitating, he replied
"Yes, I am King Raphael, who are you, why are you attacking my flower city!"
"Attack? We are just helping a friend get back what he deserves. As for other things, you directly complain to our Majesty Falcon! But please come with us now!" Kester grinned. He smiled ugly. He was tall and strong. He was actually a very cunning guy. On the battlefield, his nickname was a fox. Few people would compare this tall and hard-to-hide guy with such a small and flexible fox. Of animals linked. Except for a few people who know that Captain Kester was actually a mountain hunter with archery skills before joining the Falcon Army. With his agile skill and sè arm strength, even if he encounters an enemy wearing heavy armor, It is also possible to get in from the weak connection of the opponent's armor with one arrow. Kester is famous in the southern mountains of Vikia, and is often killed by his targets, either because of excessive bleeding or dragged to death.
"Where are you taking me? The King of County Raphael gritted his teeth, and asked with horror on his face
"Our Majesty Falcon wants to see you!" Kester answered calmly
"Your Majesty Falcon?"
The King of County Raphael froze for a moment on the city wall, his eyes swept across the huge fleet on the sea in the distance. For a while, I felt a little visceral. Your Majesty Falcon! Is it the emperor of the Falcon Empire! My goodness. What the **** is this! Does my little princess need to be treated like this? A summoned by an imperial emperor. . . . . . . Raphael was nervously entangled in his heart. Although he was a puppet supported by Gang Fei, to be honest, Gang Fei did not see him much. After all, it is just a substitute for a puppet. What Gangfei people really fancy is his wife who is about to give birth. As long as his son is born, his puppet will be the end of it. The biggest Gangfei empire he has ever seen The officials of the empire were nothing more than the high-level affairs officer of the Ministry of Imperial Affairs, Remchart. If you want to be summoned by the emperor Gangfei from above, you can't even think of it!
"His Royal Highness, please hurry up, we don't have that much time delay!" Kester yelled from below the castle, "Your Majesty has a bad temper. If you wait too long, I'll probably give orders directly to the city."
"Asshole, this is a naked threat!" The King Raphael scolded angrily in a low voice
He didn't dare not go, Huacheng had already surrendered, but he watched the other party approaching eight large troop carriers. It is conservatively estimated that the opposing party has more than 5,000 troops ashore, and the entire castle has only 1,000 defenders. The opposing party is really going to slaughter the city in anger, and he can only watch, although he is full of reluctance, King Raphael. Or the fleet being escorted to the sea
The **** of the King of Raphael County was a Dragon Tooth battleship. Its strange appearance made the King of Raphael County who walked onto the deck stunned for a while. As a fan of sailing and shipbuilding, Raphael The prince’s knowledge on warships is very famous. He has studied warships from many countries. At the age of sixteen, he was sent to the Lanterst Ocean Academy as a special student by the Principality of Universal. Barrow’s first navy’s Lanterst Marine Academy studied for three years, where he received special care from the Lanterster people and allowed him to view many secret documents. On his graduation assignment three years later, Raphael The Dillard battleship manufacturing theory put forward by the King of the County was praised by the instructor as the genius conception of shipbuilding.
The so-called Dillard battleship manufacturing theory is to manufacture the parts of the battleship separately, and then through the unified parts inlay and combination, the division of labor of the battleship is truly realized, and the construction speed of the battleship is greatly improved. Of course, the reason why it is said to be Theory, because even the sea country Lanterster does not have the huge human and industrial power needed to implement this theory,
On this Dragon Tooth battleship, Raphael's gaze was a little tranced, not only because of the unique shape of this battleship, but because he found that the structure of this Dragon Tooth battleship fits his Dira. According to the German warship manufacturing theory, it seems that every part of this warship is not made as a whole, but is made up of multiple parts. The King Raphael did not know that in the naval manufacturing dock of the Falcon Empire, After gathering the industrial forces and craftsmen of a continent to improve, under the "assembly line" manufacturing method proposed by His Majesty Falcon, the manufacturing of naval warships has already achieved division of labor and cooperation. The main hull of the warship is in Saran, which has abundant timber resources. It was built in South Germany, and the components were built by docks in other regions, and finally transported to the south of Salander for assembly. The large-scale adoption of special mortise and tenon inlay structures and traditional nail-iron connections greatly shortened the construction time of battleships.
"My own theory has really become a reality." After visual inspection of the warship components on the Dragon Tooth battleship, King Raphael County has determined the idea of covering up and feelings, and the shock in his heart is far greater than that of being captured, but When he first saw the flagship Dragon-class, the huge ship's side beyond all the warships, his eyes lit up that could no longer be concealed
If it weren't for the state of being imprisoned, he really reached out to touch the huge battleship in front of him. The previous discovery had hit him once, and this time, he felt how small he was in his past complacency. This is the real battleship. The ocean-going battleships across the four seas, especially when you see the side of this huge battleship, the muzzle baffle that is not closed like fish scales, and the dark turrets are exposed inside, and the sailors on the battleship are pouring water on it, full of heat. The steam came out of these gun chambers, and King Raphael’s breathing stopped for a while. At this moment, he felt that he was looking up at the breath of a real behemoth of the ocean.
He is not a very ambitious person. The reason why he is willing to let Gang Fei Ren support him as a puppet is because Gang Fei Ren promised to do it after it was done. Funded it to form a naval fleet belonging to the Principality of Universal Settlements. In this way he can lead the fleet to realize his dream. But now, he suddenly realized that this ideal is really ridiculous. This is the truly powerful warship, even the naval ship of Lanternster. There is no such a huge super warship in front of us. Such a warship can resist the waves from ocean routes and cast a wider eye on unknown areas. It is no wonder that the Falcon Empire with such a warship dared to directly attack itself by crossing the sea.
The guard pushed the King Raphael into a spacious room, and then closed the door from the outside. The room was a little dim. Raphael turned his head curiously. This is when he heard a familiar voice saying." Raphael. It seems that you are worse than me. As a puppet, you serve them wholeheartedly, and when you really need it, you are just thrown away like a ball!"
"Who is it?" The King of Raphael's face turned pale. Then he saw the big man with a white bandage on his body and the corner of his mouth came out from the dark with a smile
"It's you!" King Raphael's pupils shrank, and he looked at someone who was supposed to be in the Falcon Empire with an incredulous look. The Great Duke wore a thick leather jacket and was in the room. Sitting down on his chair, the Duke of Putu with gauze wrapped around his waist looks a bit funny. The white gauze is holding the outside of his waist, and he can see the blood stains oozing out.
His face was ugly and coughed, and his face was bleak with blood loss. "It's unexpected! I was assassinated! Do you know who did it?"
"I heard! Believe it or not, that's not what I did." The King of Raphael looked at him solemnly
"I know it's not you!" The Duke of Putao used his hand to pull his collar, as if he wanted to make himself look more serious, and finally said with a bitter smile, "This assassination was done by myself. It was very deep. I almost lost my life after a single blow. I knew this pain a long time ago, so I should take it lightly!"
"You are crazy, assassinate yourself!" King Raphael's face showed a trace of amazement, his eyes flickered, and there was even a trace of concern in it. It seems that the relationship between the two is not as strong as the outside rumors. Same as water and fire.
"Are you crazy? It's possible! If the pain of a single knife can save my country, even if another knife is inserted, I will do it!" The Duke of Putao calmly glanced at King Raphael. The tone slowly said, "At least, I'm still fighting for my country, so what about you, the young man who threatened to make the Putu Principality the No. 1 Power on the Sea, in order to let Gang Fei let me back, frankly willing to be a puppet? Man, has he really decided to accept his destiny of being imprisoned to death?"
"Imprisoned to death? Hehe, am I not imprisoned now!" A wry smile appeared on the corner of King Raphael's mouth. This sentence made his mind twisted, and he has been avoiding this question in his heart. , Now being singled out by someone, it hurts like a thorn in it. "I know very well what Gangfei people want. They want my child. The person who will be the future prince is also my child~ IndoMTL.com~ As for I’m a superfluous person, it’s fortunate to be able to not kill it.” King Raphael sneered coldly. “It’s good to be imprisoned in the end. Do you really expect Gangfei to give you a fleet?
"Even if you are naive, there must be a limit! In fact, you are luckier than me. At least you have a few loyal subordinates. As for me, everyone around me is the eye of Gang Fei. , Even the diet is controlled by Gang Fei, my situation is not as good as half of yours,
At least, before the establishment of the new duke, you are safe on the surface. You can recruit your subordinates and gather the army. My only role is to hide in a place with the unfamiliar Gangfei woman. An heir who just doesn't need it! Then it disappears silently, as if it had never existed before. As for what will happen in the future? Haha, do you really think that a woman from a famous background will spend a lifetime with a worthless prisoner? "
"Then why do you want..." Duke Putao looked at King Raphael with piercing eyes, as if he had met him for the first time
"If I die, will you still be able to live until now! "King Raphael smiled coldly" You can speak up here to fight for the Principality because I sacrificed in the Principality, I live, You can live, otherwise, you think Gangfei will tolerate you for so long!"
