Power and Empire Chapter 3429: Burning Sea

The silent sea, the sound of waves beating in my ears, waves of undercurrents surging in the darkness, with the repeated impacts and beatings, retreat, and the dense wooden barrels floating in the harbor also follow. The waves are drawn into the sea in front of the port. In the distance, the sea is brightly lit, and more than two hundred large merchant ships are crowded together. The lights on the upper and lower three levels are like a layer of golden yellow covering the sea. The barrel that first floated with the backflow entered this bright area. In the dark, the sound of the barrel hitting the hull of the ship could be faintly heard.

"My lord, send a signal, we may be spotted at any time!"

The voice of the officer next to him was slightly trembling and asked for instructions from the stiff body. It was too close and the barrel hit the opponent’s hull. The opponent would definitely have a look. Once they found so many barrels from The direction of the port came backwards, maybe it was a covering fire strike first, under Thor, I am afraid that there is not even a living one here, and everyone’s nerves are strained to the extreme. Some people even do it well and just pull their legs. Preparation for running,

"Wait, wait for the barrel to get closer"

Sweat was dripping on Pro's cheeks, and his heart was too scared to die, his legs were shaking, but thinking of the life and death of his son on this, he inhaled, everyone's eyes looked at the distance like the sea The huge fleet of behemoths, generally looking at Puro, just a few minutes, it feels like a full hundred years have passed. What makes them feel fortunate is that the imperial fleet on the sea Did not let out to check, in the middle of the night, most people were asleep, because it is the safe range of the port, so there is no watchman on the mast watch post. It is a beautiful and peaceful night, and the smooth sailing ahead makes everyone happy. Relaxed vigilance

Moreover, the speed of backflow on the sea surface is very fast, almost a distance of several meters per second, hundreds of meters, only ten seconds,

"Okay, send a signal." Puluo's face was grim, and the muffled voice from his nose seemed to have used all his strength, and a Bion officer ignited towards the cliff of the harbor. The torch was lifted and turned in a circle, a red dot also lit up on the cliff wall, and the same turned in a circle

"Okay, let's withdraw" Plow raised his hand and shouted at the sweaty Bion soldiers behind

As the signal was sent out, one mile upstream of the port, ten clippers full of kerosene followed the current like ghosts in the night, with their spinnakers fully open, and the sharp bow at the front split the water. The sound of the waves is like the sound of a sharp blade splitting cloth in the dark. This is an indented harbor on the upper sea surface of Port Moore. In the past, it was a small dock for fishermen, usually not locals in Melbourne, so they would not pay attention to it. In this place, let alone, the Sunrise Chamber of Commerce is only a chamber of commerce. Even the information that the military intelligence department doesn’t know much about, the Sunrise Chamber of Commerce does not even know more

This is the advantage of local warfare. The time, the right place, and the harmony of people, two of which are the easiest to get from local warfare. Brandt spent three years in Port More, and his biggest hobby is fishing. I hired fishing boats to go out to sea from here. I know the direction of ocean flow in this sea area too well.

In the dark night, Brandt had already arrived here from the Xineng Palace on the cliff, and he was sitting in the town himself. He held the ship's side with his hand at the moment, staring at the ten clippers going with the ocean current, his fingers could not help being tight. Holding each other together, beside him, on the black and silent sea, a fleet of twenty large merchant ships was silent in the dark like a pack of wolves. The nervous looking sailors, the soldiers in heavy armor, the sea rushed in. The sound of popping on the ship’s side makes people more nervous. The hull fluctuates with the waves, and the fluctuations are even more popular. Each of these twenty merchant ships is full of three hundred people, which is a full six thousand people.

From just now, everyone on the deck held their heads up and looked at the distance neatly

The black line that emerged under the hazy moonlight was the port of Moore below, less than a mile away. The moonlight overhead made the sea like a layer of silver powder sprinkled on the surface. The water was gleaming and calm. Beautiful, but it reveals boundless murderous intent. The ten clippers full of kerosene are like ten huge clusters of arrows leaving the bowstrings, pounced towards the prey below

"Can it succeed?"

In the tense atmosphere, Wei Wei has various voices

Brandt stood at the bow of the ship, facing the fierce sea breeze, but his heart was complicated. Before his appointment, in the palace of the royal capital, King Lucopha VI of Biang personally summoned him In the sunny light, the 46-year-old Lukefa VI standing in front of the window sill, wearing a long black dress, a medium build, a thick physique and sleepy eyes, it seems that he is just A middle-aged man with no characteristics at all,

Rocopha VI's eyes were flat and sharp. He turned from the window sill and looked at Brandt with a nervous face. He smiled and said, "Don't be so nervous, I will invite you this time, just listen to them. Do you have a way to beat this sunrise chamber of commerce?"

"It was just a drunk gaffe by his subordinates. In fact, to defeat this imperial fleet, the subordinates were just guessing." Sweat broke out on Brandt's forehead, although he entered the ranks of generals. But the level is not high. The chance to meet the king is only once or twice a year, basically at the annual meeting, or at the annual banquet, watching the king raise a glass to celebrate

"Guess? This also shows that you really have a way. Let's listen." Lu Kefa calmly gestured to him to sit down and say, his eyes flashed with determination, and he became King of Bion It has been 14 years and he has always been known for his stable governance. He is the only one among the monarchs of the Kingdom of Bion who advocates rest and recuperation. In 14 years, he has only waged three wars, and without exception, he was on the defensive side. Some people say Ang Ren’s courage and vitality have been lost in his hands, but as a general, Brandt knows how remarkable this man at the helm of the Kingdom of Bion is.

How difficult it is to reverse the custom of martial arts by the Biang people. The total population of the Biang Kingdom is only more than one million. The standing force reached nearly 300,000 before the monarch came to power. It means that four or five people raise a soldier. This has always been the biggest cause of pressure on the financial resources of the Bion Kingdom, which is not considered rich. Military expenditures account for 80% of the country’s financial resources, and the remainder It’s good if the government is able to maintain the operation of the 20th century, and the monarchs of the Bion Kingdom in the past did not fail to see this, but because of the upholding of the military style, they could not contain this situation, so that the military strength would not decrease but increase. If this continues, the kingdom of Bion will be crushed by its own military power

But after the monarch came to power, the first thing was disarmament. He cut his waist from 300,000 and only retained a standing army of 150,000. Although it initially caused strong opposition from all quarters, there were even militant attempts. Assassinated the traitor of the Bion, but more than ten years have passed. The benefits of disarmament have been obvious. The country's financial resources have increased, and the burden of the people has been reduced. In addition, the monarch hardly launched foreign wars and cultivated life. The policy of Bion has benefited the entire kingdom of Bion. Even a general like Brandt has only participated in a war for more than ten years. The other time is more about swordsmanship, fishing, and bragging to pass the time. /

"If the opponent's target is really Port Mell, or you can try it." Brandt is already riding a tiger and can only bite the bullet and said. He said that he has been in Port Mell for three years and knows that Ergang has a return, it is the current season. After midnight, after listening to his so-called whimsical plan, King Lukefa VI's face was silent for more than ten seconds.

"Your Majesty, this plan is just an idea, it can be said to be a joke, please don’t take it seriously, and if we want to ignite so many boats, we can’t do it." Brandt’s face turned red with embarrassment, this He said it when he was drunk, and he felt happy at the time, but he did not expect to be summoned by His Majesty the King.

"What if I can find something to ignite? "The hoarse voice of Lukepha VI made the air in the room solidify for a while

"Your Majesty, this is really..." Brandt's stiff body on the sofa trembled slightly, and he heard a rather adventurous atmosphere in the king's tone. It was simply too adventurous. Now, he feels his scalp is numb

"Although I know it is dangerous, I still want to give it a try"

Lu Kefa VI flashed his eyes, stood up, looked at the map of Central Europe that hung behind him, and said condensedly, "Although my Bion is nothing compared to the empire, I can't take it anymore. The role of human bullying. Decades ago, Bion was as strong as the Kingdom of Rila. We Bion were descendants of the Seventh Legion of the Fiya Dynasty that had collapsed at the beginning. During the Fiya Dynasty It was already in charge of the entire Central Europe. Although the dynasty collapsed and various forces rose, we still adhered to the style of our ancestors in martial arts. In the following hundreds of years, we used the indestructible five-meter spear to make up the ratio. The infantry formation of Ang once also enveloped more than half of Central Europe. In its heyday, the army of the Kingdom of Bion had a total of 400,000 troops."

The voice of King Lukefa VI paused. "If it weren’t for two hundred years ago, a prairie cavalry from the East rushed into Central Obaro, using the arrow rain of a longbow and a fast horse, I would be attracted to Bion in one fell swoop. The arrogant two-hundred-and-five-meter spear army killed the corpses all over the field, and Bion would not fall from the position of the overlord because of the loss of strength, and did not recover for two hundred years, and the one from the east The steppe people are now the Hungarians"

"Our glory for hundreds of years has fallen, but the monarchs of the past have not forgotten it"

"This time the sunrise came along the coast of the Chamber of Commerce, and the eyes of the countries of Central Europe were all looking at it. If my Bion Kingdom can stand up at this time, when the entire Central Europe is dark, right The head-on blow by this rampant enemy is tantamount to laying a solid step for returning to its original glory. The countries have agreed to stop this sunrise chamber of commerce. Who is the head of Central Europe and Barro recognized by everyone"

"I Bion has been waiting for two hundred years. This kind of opportunity, even if it's a risk, I only have a try." King Lukefa's words seem to be still echoing in Brandt's mind, and the downstream direction is heavy. Incomparably dense explosions, like thunder in summer, burst into the sky on the sea at the downstream port,

"Success!"

"We succeeded." There were cheers from all around, a huge firelight skyrocketed, and it was vaguely visible that the hull was burning, and some black spots were also shattered and flew like a storm in the dense explosion. "Boom." Like a huge wave soaring into the sky, the objects and people on it are like a huge incendiary thrown into the air

"Is this a bit too much!"

Everyone was cheering, only Brandt’s face changed, and his body shuddered uncontrollably. His pupils that were dyed red by the fire were full of sluggishness. Lukefa VI just said this. Kernel oil can ignite the hull, but there is no explosive effect. The original goal was to repel the Sunrise Chamber of Commerce, but it is now destroyed

In fact, these explosions were caused by the Thor ammunition on the Sunrise Merchant Ship. Hundreds of kerosene barrels were ignited. Ten Clippers were like ten giant torpedoes crashing into the dense fleet. A violent explosion swept the flanks of the fleet in.

Under the fierce sea breeze, burning flames rose into the air, the fire filled, and then there was a series of explosions

The iconic mermaid bow hits the horns, hulled masts, and the deck of a ship falling like rain. The fleets of the Sunrise Chamber of Commerce are all merchant ships~IndoMTL.com~ It can’t be compared with a warship, it can withstand such an explosion, the concentrated fire light, like a turbulent sea,

The blazing hull broke into two pieces in the explosion. When the stern rose to a faster and more vertical position, the falling heavy objects smashed down like a weighing mound, splashing countless water splashes. , And then the entire battleship was deeply inserted into the sea, the fire light reflected everyone’s eyes, and the roaring sea breeze hit everyone’s face, and even felt the heat

It is conceivable that on the lower side of the Imperial fleet, what a tragic sight will be, the burning sea, the hull is swaying, a large number of people are struggling on the water, and in the chaos, countless panic-turning hulls are even more fierce. When they collided together, they heard a squeezing sound, sawdust flew across, the sailors on the upper deck rolled over, and the sea was full of fuel, making the whole sea look like a huge sea of ​​fire,

Brandt originally wanted to use the fleet to take advantage of the chaos, but when he saw such a scene, he was too scared to move. At this time, he rushed down, afraid that he would be directly involved in this flame. , Faintly, Blatter feels that this time I am afraid that something big will happen. If it is only to repel the Sunrise Chamber of Commerce, or it will be nothing, but burning such tens of thousands to death in Port More, how can the empire be Forbearance, I can't bear it too!
