Chapter 25: Escape to the Frozen Sea
As the war on the main continent basically subsided, the human forces that had lost the ability of the state organization were only sporadic resistance and fugitives who retreated to the inland. To suppress such a level of local riots, the goblins sent out the garrison troops to the garrison of the garrison, and the elite troops were useless. Elite troops such as the Goblin Commando became a dragon-slaying technique, and they continued to stay in the main continent without any use. Modo Heishui, who had always been good at seizing opportunities, seized the opportunity, used his connections in the military headquarters to clear up and down, and asked the Senate for a gang-based goblin commando to use it as the main force of land warfare for the pursuit and suppression of the fleet. At this moment, the firepower of the local elite fleet was being suppressed by the shore-based fortress, and it was time for the Goblin Commando to show its strength.
The phalanx of the goblin infantry that made the enemy scared can be called a heavy grinder made of steel discipline, which can grind any opponent into powder. The style of the goblin commando is not as heavy and steady as the former. The goblin warriors selected into the commando are all elites who have experienced battles. The infantry phalanx that overemphasizes organizational discipline and unified steps instead binds their hands and feet.
At this time, a mercury-like surge attack was launched on the scale of a small team, and he searched for an opportunity to tear the enemy's front and flesh apart like a wolf pack on the snowy night. Only in this battlefield environment where it can maximize the freedom of exercise can the terrifying combat power of the goblin commando be demonstrated.
No matter how many fortress artillery batteries there are, the violently pouring artillery fire cannot always maintain this shooting density. Regardless of the inventory of ammunition, the overheating of the artillery can also be at risk of explosion. When the fire of the shore artillery is slightly weakened or there is a omission, the goblin commando will take the opportunity to move forward, and they quickly approach the fortress artillery group guarding the Mili Atoll. The most fragile part of the shore-based turret is at the feet. The invading enemy forces approach this distance, and even the strongest firepower is destined to be unable to turn things around.
"Go! Slaughter these green skins."
I know my own affairs. How could the residents of Mili Atoll not know how dangerous it would be to be approached by foreign enemies to the bottom of the fort? They transformed from a group of peaceful islanders into a vicious pirate gang, holding various weapons such as fishing forks, spears, swords, bows and crossbows to launch a counterattack on the goblin army that was landing.
"For the glory of the empire! Charge! The emperor is thousands of years old! Long live the Senate!"
The goblin army that fights on land has never been afraid of anyone. Not to mention that the goblin commando was able to serve as one or ten elite troops, this group of retired and amateur pirates were not enough to see. More than ten minutes later, the flawless beach was dyed with blood and the goblins suppressed the desperate counterattack of the residents of Mili Atoll for a slight casualty. This is the difference in combat power between the scattered soldiers and the well-trained army. If one horse did not have the ability to be a thousand, no matter how powerful the individual bravery was, it would be a five-slag who was crushed to death in minutes in front of the organized army!
The scene that happened in front of him did not surprise Luo Zhengdao. He had long expected that Mili Atoll could not withstand the attack of the goblin fleet, and he made a quick decision to say to the sailors:
"We didn't go out to sea to die here, we should move quickly."
The sailor Zora Hegel's dark cheeks twitched unnaturally and was forced into a desperate situation by the goblin fleet twice. Although Luo Zhengdao, the captain, was aggrieved, Zora was also full of anger. However, his strength was not enough, all they could do was to think about how to run away with the most efficient way.
Zora Hegel, who was unwilling to accept his anger, stepped forward and said to Luo Zhengdao:
"Sir Captain, I know where to go, so I will take the helm this time!"
Hearing the sound, Luo Zhengdao stared at Zora for a few seconds and said to the helmsman:
"Well, go and have a rest and hand the steering wheel to the sailor."
The fierce battle in Mili Atoll continued, and local residents relied on buildings to fight back against the goblins, but their resistance became weaker and weaker. Based on the principle of not leaving empty, Luo Zhengdao caught many locals from the sea after the Yangwei anchored. When the Yangwei arrived at the port exit of the atoll lagoon, the goblin fleet gathered outside the port had just used the plumb bottom measurement method to find a safe route and began to launch an assault into the atoll. Both sides met in the narrow waterway.
The brave one wins when they meet on a narrow road! While silently reciting this ancient saying in his heart, Luo Zhengdao shouted loudly with a stern face:
"Work harder, whether you die or live depends on the present, and rush over at full speed."
"Bang!Bang!Bang..."
Coming from the opposite direction, the goblin fleet passing through the lagoon waterway lined up in a column. Although it was far from reaching the ideal conditions for a T-shaped horizontal head, countless stone bombs projected from the goblin warship were still like storms, constantly passing by above and side of the deck of the Yangwei. These whistling whistles that passed by reminded the sailors that the god of death was warmly inviting them to visit, and the hull under their feet also trembled from time to time. This was the sequelae of being hit by the stone bomb. No one could tell how long the Yangwei could survive the baptism of the dense rain of bullets like hail. Anyway, the sailors were praying sincerely that they hoped that the warship would last as long as possible.
The smart people who knew that Mili Atoll had few days left, not only Luo Zhengdao and other outsiders, but also at the moment when the Yangwei led the fight against the goblin fleet, many sloops and small sailboats that were originally anchored in the atoll port also followed the Chaoyong to break out of the port.
You and I will come on stage after the light and heavy firearms of different caliber styles. From the surface, the fugitives' rat bit the cat's decisive blow is no less than the dominant goblin fleet in terms of momentum. The rain of bullets whizzing through his ears inevitably makes people feel like they are changing their speed, and every second is as long as a year. As the Yangwei arduously passed through a thick white smoke formed by the burning of stone pine powder, the sea in front suddenly became clear, and there was no trace of the goblin warship here.
Seeing this, Sailor Zorra Hegel was rarely excited, and shouted with a flushed face and shouted, "
"We have successfully broken through! Long live!"
"Long live! Long live! Long live!"
Taking out the silk handkerchief and gently wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Luo Zhengdao looked at the cheering sailors and the unlucky guys who were unfortunately injured by stone bullets on the podium on the stern deck. He did not feel any relaxed and was eager to urge him:
"Okay, don't be happy and check the losses."
The sailors lowered the sampan and conducted an emergency inspection on the two pirate ships, and counted the casualties. Zora Hegel came to Luo Zhengdao later and said:
"Sir Captain, our hull is not significantly damaged. Some of the gun doors need to be repaired. Three guns on the gun deck were destroyed, and five upper decks were damaged. About one-third of the supply defects. Tamsui was originally scheduled to replenish the supply before departure. Now there are not many stocks, with a total of 32 casualties, 11 deaths, and 5 other people are missing."
Listening to the statistics reported by the sailor, Luo Zhengdao rubbed his eyebrows with distress and said:
"Where is the Chaoyong?"
"The visual inspection situation is slightly better. He just now stood in front of the power. The specific situation must be known until the report comes out."
Hearing the sound, Luo Zhengdao thought that the goblin fleet might turn around and chase after him at any time. He felt more and more headaches. He sighed and turned his head to Vina Dubov and said:
"Send people to ask the locals if they want to work on the boat, and if they don't want to send the boats that rushed out with us."
The half-elf beauty knew that it was not the right time to joke. She changed her usual hobby of joking with Luo Zhengdao, and replied gently like a well-educated lady:
"Okay, I'll deal with it now."
Everyone was busy, but Luo Zhengdao was alone in nothing. Whenever this happened, he could not help but start thinking about the future. The first trouble he remembered was how these goblins were tracking it. Could it be that it was a traitor on his ship? This vicious thought like a poisonous snake was lingering in Luo Zhengdao's mind. After a long time of struggle, he walked towards the half-elf-beautiful woman who was drinking water to rest for advice. Unexpectedly, when Vina heard Luo Zhengdao's confusion, he looked indifferent and said:
"Rie? Hahahaha, Will, you're thinking too much. It's probably a prophetic spell, and of course it could be some kind of strange thing that detects whereabouts. Oh, there's too many possibilities."
Luo Zhengdao's originally serious and solemn expression was hit by the petrification state in an instant. He rubbed his nose in a boring manner and said:
"Yes! This world is not what I am familiar with."
Hearing Luo Zhengdao say this, half-elf Vina turned a little embarrassed and comforted him and said:
"It's okay, you're just temporarily losing your memory, we can find a way to cure you."
Hearing the sound, Luo Zhengdao silently recited a wish that Will Nidham, whose soul was scattered, could rest in peace, smiled bitterly and nodded as a promise, and said:
"Uh, I hope so!"
After patrolling the Yangwei, he deliberately took a gentle attitude of being at the grassroots level and being friendly to the people. He determined that the warship was in good combat state. Luo Zhengdao thought to himself:
"Mosado can't handle the goblin fleet, and Mili Atoll can't be delayed for long. Sooner or later, the goblins will catch up. To be on the safe side, they must set sail immediately after the hull is repaired, and they can't delay any more time."
Although he didn't know what Luo Zhengdao was thinking, Vina Dubov still gave him advice as a tutor and said:
"It's so strange. As far as I know, these greens have never sailed so far. Will, it seems that they really want you to die!"
Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao, who was in pain, couldn't help laughing and said:
"Hahahaha, of course I can do it. Please wait patiently for a hundred years. I must have died at that time. I hope they can feel satisfied."
After Luo Zhengdao finished telling this not-so-funny joke, the conversation fell silent again. This was the third time that Luo Zhengdao successfully escaped under the gun of the goblin fleet. God knows whether he will have such luck next time. The situation is so bad that he can laugh so hard that he has no heart to laugh!
"His captain, the lookout report that an iceberg appeared on the sea in front of it."
Hearing the sound, there was no time to think about anything, Luo Zhengdao immediately said:
"Wait a minute, tell Zola to slow down the speed and be careful to avoid icebergs. The weather is getting colder, and the lookouts on the mast tower should be rotated in time to improve their attention, and double the observation posts on both sides of the ship."
ps: The new book list was overtaken by someone, so I burst into tears and asked for red votes and collect them!
