Power and Empire Chapter 3430: The Emperor’s Revenge
On the sea surface of the Port of Moore, the fire was raging. The red fire snake engulfed large merchant ships, and the black smoke billowed upwards. The people who jumped into the sea from the deck of the ship were like dumplings
The boats were crowded together, turning chaotically in the light of the fire, the red flames were burning on the sea, the hull damaged by the explosion, the ship’s sides were broken, and a large amount of seawater poured in from the breach. These are just Merchant ships have no protective layer of warships and no isolation chambers, so in front of the exploding Thor bombs, they were penetrated like shredded pieces of paper. The fireballs exploded by Thor bombs ruthlessly swept the ship and the deck above the ship. The sailor, like a roller coaster, was abandoned high, like the sky collapsed and the sea boiled, with a crisp sound of tearing, as if the angel of death with silver wings hit the target at the moment, the target was broken!
Boom!
Another hull of a ship exploded, and the radiated thermal energy expanded. The ensuing light, like a huge light ball, strongly pierced everyone’s eyes
It is a large merchant ship less than 50 meters away from the flagship of Socutus Delan. It is called the Parrot. It is a new ship launched this year. In terms of size, it is similar to Socutus Delan. The flagship Benlan at the foot is comparable, and the third largest ship in the fleet, but it is such a big ship, it is also destroyed in the face of an explosion, the hull shattered on the spot, and the red flames burned from the cabin.
"Asshole, what the **** is going on!"
On the deck of the Parrot, the captain touched his groggy head, sat up, and found that many people were already lying on the deck. The dark and thick blood stained the deck red, and he also had a lot of him. The severe pain from his left arm came at this moment, as if he had been shocked, his forehead was immediately covered with beads of sweat,
"Attention, it's going to collapse"
A sailor furiously yelled, and just as the sound fell, a burst of fire violently tore the deck. A dozen people running on the deck suddenly burst into a fire wave several meters high, and then hit it. Falling down, huddled up there without knowing the life or death, the dark red human blood is flowing down in the fire
If it is the Imperial Navy who is familiar with naval warfare, it will immediately abandon the ship in such a situation, but these people are not the Imperial Navy, they are just war mercenaries under the Imperial Bank, and this is not the land they are familiar with, but the sea. The flames above and below that even the sea surface ignited even more so that these people were at a loss, and they were completely messed up
"Papa" finally smashed down the mast with red flames, and shot the ship's side into a sky full of shredded wood pieces on the spot. Under strong kinetic energy, these shredded woods whizzed around with a harsh sound. All directions are scattered, and it makes a crisp sound when it hits the ship's side. The people who are hit are often covered in skin and flesh.
In a blink of an eye, this sailing ship turned into a huge fireball after the flashes broke out one after another, and then disappeared on the sea, such a scene, almost all over the side of the entire fleet, only half a short In less than a few hours, seven or eighty large ships were ignited by the fire, surrounded by raging flames, rumbling, and the explosion of the huge merchant ships quietly flying in all directions in an instant,
"What should I do now?"
Socutus Delan is just a businessman after all. She has no experience in commanding on the battlefield, let alone a strange naval command. The first time she encountered such a big scene, she stood on the flagship, completely at a loss. I haven't figured out the situation for more than ten minutes. The surrounding area is too chaotic. There are burning fires everywhere, and her pretty face is white in the light of the fire
"Miss Delan, although I don't know how to command the fleet, but if you keep doing nothing like this, then everyone will be buried here." Fortunately, there is also a Crimson Rui, the former commander of the Nord Army. The woman with red pupils looks at the sight not far away, and her cold pretty face is still silent, which is incredible,
"Do you have a way?"
"The only way now is to separate the fleet!" Scarlet Rui's face was calm and shocking
"Separate? How to partition?"
Socutus Delan looked at a blank face. She knows business well, but she is a layman in the military.
The sight in front of her made her chaotic. The situation was really miserable. Originally the flagship was in the middle of the fleet, but because of Scarlett’s keen perception, she ordered the flagship to be placed at the back of the fleet midway. This can not only deal with various emergencies, but also prevent the enemy from raiding and boarding late at night. Fortunately, Scarlett made arrangements in advance, otherwise it will be caught in the fire.
"Use boats to separate, please order the previous boats to stop immediately, and immediately evacuate everyone on it. Use these boats to stop the fire from spreading!"
"Use these ships to form an isolation zone..., if that's the case, aren't those blocked ships just dead ends?" Socutus Delan's body trembled slightly, her beautiful face Hua Rong couldn't help but lose her color, but her heart also had to admit that Scarlett’s approach is quite feasible. The advantage is that before the fire spreads here, these ships will at least not be burned out at least for the fleet to evacuate the dangerous zone. Buy time
And the flagship fleet here can avoid being swept in by the fire as long as they can evacuate to a certain distance. The disadvantage is that it is equivalent to completely blocking the other side of the fleet that is turning in a panic. None of the people on the boat can escape. Even if they can jump into the sea, they will be burned to death by the flames spreading on the sea! This is tantamount to sacrificing them in exchange for the evacuation of the fleet!
"Miss Delan, we don’t have much time to hesitate. The fire will soon spread." Scarlet Rui looks at the hesitant Sokutos Delan
"The only response we can make at the moment is to abandon the burning area and the lives and deaths of more than 10,000 people in exchange for the safe evacuation of the entire fleet! Crimson Rui's eyes are contemplating ahead, and the sea breeze formed by the heat wave raises her red skirt , Standing in front of the huge bow, under the color of the burning sky, it gives people a thrilling beauty. She smiled bitterly at the corner of her mouth. "The command is cruel, but it is better than all of us burned to death here. Yes, this time the order was issued by me alone, even if it is finally pursued, I will take it on my own! "
"You are an order to save all of our talents. How can Socutus Delan be the kind of person who dare not take responsibility? The order tonight was given by me Socutus Delan, you Don’t worry too much. Tonight’s war dead’s pension compensation will be doubled by our Imperial Bank." Socutus Dailan took a deep breath. The business queen has recovered from the initial panic,
From the thirteenth deacon of the business alliance to the leader of the Empire Bank, he has not experienced the big winds and waves. How many times I can't see the swords of life and death, when has Socutus been feared! What's more, these fleets and manpower are actually under her Imperial Bank. How could it be possible for Scarlet Ruilai to take on such responsibilities independently? Isn't it that more than 10,000 people died? The Imperial Bank flag team participated in the war in South Europe Baronan not once. Twice, tens of thousands of people died in battle! On the contrary, tonight, I still need to thank Crimson Rui. If it weren't for Crimson's decisiveness and pre-arrangement, I might have explained it all here!
"Through my order, immediately follow the instructions of Miss Scarlet"
Socutus Delan gave a loud command. After realizing that the side fleet was almost completely sinking in, this strong order was issued from the flagship. Six large ships on the side of the fleet were forced to turn into Horizontally, all the Thor ammunition above is thrown into the sea, and then the hands above are transferred to other ships
After all this was basically completed, a few minutes later, the raging fire was like a long red dragon that poured out, hitting a barrier formed by six large ships.
"Boom"
The red fire was dazzling, the heat wave rushed into the face, the flames engulfed the six big ships, the canvas on the masts was the first to be ignited, and the long rope like a viper was blown into chaos by the wind, but because there was no Thor The relationship between bomb explosions, although these six large ships have been ignited, like a huge burning wall of fire, they did block the momentum of the fire sweeping, and the speed of spread was obviously contained,
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the fleet behind the blocking line quickly turned around and moved away from the fire area. The fire burned until dawn before it was gradually extinguished
Small boats were lowered from the direction of the fleet, and on each boat, several sailors swiped and turned towards this place. The white morning mist on the sea and the water vapor flowed like leucorrhea, brightening with the sky. , The wind rolled up the white sea fog, and the moist breath finally revealed a trace of tragedy. Under the fog, the wreckage of large and small ships floated on the sea, broken masts, and torn sails. The corpses were densely followed. Up and down the waves, the white and swollen corpses in the sea foam are stacked together like sprays, and they are carried over by the waves. The white sea fog is beautiful, like a dream, but under the sea fog, it is like a hell-like scene. , Is more than tens of thousands of corpses, is the wreckage of more than 70 ships
The progress of the Sunrise Chamber of Commerce sweeping along the coastline has been blocked!
Lisboto, fascinated by the night, the fat man and Palschenna, who is no longer the high priest of the sky, stand on the observatory of the Sky Sanctuary in Lisboa, underneath is the Lisboa Tornan covered by moonlight like silver. District, densely lit, decorated the entire southern district like the Milky Way in the sky. Pope Putamia very interestingly found a reason, and went to the library of the Sky Temple branch to read a book of the Holy Church in the sky. The ancient teachings only left Palschenna and Fatty on the observatory
Just two days ago, after the priest ceremony of the Sky Temple, Palschenna suddenly announced her resignation from the post of high priest. This was ecstatic for the new saints, and now it gradually merges into the Sky Temple. Under the rule of the empire, the new saint faction has gradually grown, and Palschena, an old man of the old age, is a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh of the new saint. Now Palschena suddenly took the initiative to resign the high priest, the new saint. One faction is now busy liaising around, hoping to put the people on his side as high priest, so naturally he has no intention to take care of the troubles of the abdicated high priest
So in the past two days, Fatty and Palschenna also took Lisbon to visit for a good time
I don’t know if it’s no longer the status of the high priest, Palschenna changed her former noble image, took off the high priest’s robe, which remained unchanged throughout the seasons, and wore a white Sarandian classical palace dress. , A piece of beautiful jade divine, bright and shining long hair pinned to the back of the head, revealing a smooth forehead and a thin white neck, staring at the night view of Lisbon under the moonlight, and gently saying, "If I want to Back to Salander, I don’t know if your majesty can allow it!"
"Why do you want to go back? Even if it’s Niya, you only go back one month every year to see the situation of the territory. Most of the time is in the Imperial City. If you are really careless about the Sky Temple, you can accompany you. Come with Niya." The fat man felt the desolation in her tone. He felt pity, stretched out his hand, and gently put his arm around her fragrant shoulders, gave up the charming night view, looked at her promenade like a goddess, and admired the heaven and earth. The most beautiful lines that can be created,
Actually, he also knew that Palschena suddenly resigned the high priest because she was afraid that she would cast her anger on the head of the heavenly priest in order to help her revenge.
This is not entirely because of the aggressiveness of the New Saints faction, but the need of the empire
Originally, the fat man had already issued an order to the Ministry of Supervision, ready to thoroughly investigate the new saints faction, the fat man also received the report early on the new saints' misbehavior
At the beginning, the fat man appoints a new saint from among the common people at will, in order to eliminate the divine power of the sky temple as soon as possible, but it does lack some consideration, that is, the new saint as a tool for the empire to split the sky temple. I am already a representative of an interest group, how can I expect the new saint to be spotless,
And the most in the New Saints faction are merchants, magnates, and magnates
These emerging aristocrats of the empire, who have risen rapidly with the development of the empire’s business and external expansion, have gathered considerable wealth, and naturally their desire for power has become increasingly strong. The military cannot enter, and the government is only so few every year. Individuals, the quota of one hundred people per year is really a drop in the bucket for hundreds of thousands of imperial businessmen.
On the contrary, the new saint gave them hope. The threshold for entering the sky temple is extremely low. As long as they are willing to donate, they can give a title. These merchants are crowded under the new saint, hoping to use the new saint to help The empire claims its own power and interests, and naturally, there are people who want to grab more interests
Even Fatty himself admits that ~IndoMTL.com~ The expanding business empire itself is a bloody, dirty, and powerful violent group, but he is the biggest leader of this group. In this era, as long as you are willing to investigate, Whose **** can be clean!
But because of Palschenna’s sudden resignation, the fat man had to order the termination
"If your Majesty does not want me to go back, can you cancel that order?"
Palskina said with a trembling voice, opening those watery eyes that could look at people,
If there is a chance to push the divine power of the Sky Temple into the mud again, the man in front of him will definitely take action, and the only way to stop it is to voluntarily resign from the position of high priest. In this case, the new saint faction What you did at the graduation ceremony of the new priest is truly justified! Even the imperial emperor can only be unable to take action because of lack of excuses, but the emperor is the emperor, a word, it is enough to affect the fate of many people, for example, the empire agreed to the sky temple’s original request and agreed to the sky temple to send priests to the war. Swirling Karisu area
Moreover, the emperor also designated a person, that is, the new saint. Now, the entire new saint faction is already a genius
