The ships of the White Demon Church not only have steam turbines and artillery, but they have also made modifications suitable for their capabilities. Each ship of the White Demon Church has a light bead tower. The light bead towers of more than a dozen ships make the light connect into one, as if creating more than a dozen suns on the sea.
Under the erosion light of the light bead tower, the alchemical reinforcement array on the Royal Navy ship was greatly weakened. After the alchemical reinforcement array weakened, the hull of the Royal Navy became very fragile. High-level White Demon priests would take the opportunity to attack the reinforcement array with stronger erosion magic, and the subsequent artillery would easily tear the hull apart. The
erosion light created by the light bead would also pass over the knights at the bow and attack the low-level knights behind the knights who provided the ultimate power, making the knights' charge weak and powerless. The lower
the level of the knight, the greater the impact. The large number of low-level knights felt uncomfortable all over, and the operation of the ultimate power became sluggish. The light on the guardian chain flickered, and there was a feeling that it was in the wind and rain and was about to break at any time.
The main force of the Royal Navy was taken away by the Earl of Golden Anchor, and was in a stalemate with the Constitutional Army of the Alchemy Council in the Western Sea. It was not easy to get 20 ships here for a two-front war.
In addition to the 20 warships, there were also noble private ships that responded to the king's edict. One of the private ships was particularly eye-catching. It was a slender clipper of the Earl of Golden Anchor. At the bow of the clipper stood the fourth son of the Earl of Golden Anchor.
One of the Earl of Golden Anchor's industries, the Dock Manor, which was famous for its wine, was located in the southern continent. This time, Dock Manor was the first to respond to the attack of the White Demon Church. Compared with the industries in the southern continent, the king's summons was more important. Despite the confiscation of the manor by the Evil God Church, the Golden Anchor family also sent troops to support the king.
"If that kid is not dead, I will apply for a big military medal for him when I go back!"
Nahor, the commander of the Royal Navy in the East China Sea, liked the young man who was not afraid of death very much.
Compared with some noble private ships that did not work hard, the clipper of the Earl of Golden Anchor was so dedicated that the fourth son of the Earl of Golden Anchor had completed two charges, and the results were no less than those of the official warships.
This clipper demonstrated how noble private ships should fight and became a benchmark here. Other private ships should not be too timid.
At the bow of the clipper, Kedrick was panting. He was wearing a full body armor made for him by Rudolph, and each piece of armor was a level 3 wizard weapon. In his left hand, he held a knight's javelin, and in his right hand, he held a level 4 wizard mace.
Compared with Kedrick's luxurious equipment, his physical condition under the armor was very bad. His
muscles were sore all over, and his body produced excessive lactic acid after a lot of activities, making every movement of his body extremely difficult. Just holding the knight's gun, every muscle of his fingers was sore and weak, and the knight's gun might fall on the deck at any time because he couldn't hold it.
The hot and rough breath rushed in the helmet, and when it entered the eyes, it even made the eyes feel like being burned.
He could hold on for one more second. He could not show any signs of fatigue, otherwise the morale of the people on the ship would collapse instantly.
Even worse than his physical condition was Kedrick's mental state.
More than a month ago, Kedrick was driven by an inexplicable sense of urgency. When the time was not right, he forcibly challenged another manor owner nearby. Challenging a level 3 priest as a level 2 knight was the most suitable challenge he could find.
That battle was extremely difficult, but also extremely lucky.
In the battle, he temporarily exerted the combat power of a level 3 apostle, which could gain an advantage in a short period of time, but he had too few knights. Rudolf and Kedrick joined forces to clean up the Doc Manor. Everything has its pros and cons. This allowed Kedrick to quickly control the Doc Manor and greatly reduced the number of knights in the manor.
His enemy was a manor owner who had been operating for many years and had a large number of manor guards. In the end, it was only with the help of the level 4 knight mace given by Rudolf that Kedrick was promoted to death by smashing the level 3 priest in a head-on collision. That reluctant promotion made Kedrick's spirit extremely tense, and his bad mental state could not be restored in a short time. He had a splitting headache, as if someone had put an iron ring around his head, and the ring was getting tighter and tighter.
Today's battle was so fierce that the Royal Navy was at a huge disadvantage. If there were no accidents, the Royal Navy would definitely lose. Although he didn't want to admit it, it was only a matter of time.
The worry about the trend of the war and the tension of his spirit made Kedrick's skull seem to crack. The severe headache made his vision black. He was close to the limit and it was getting harder and harder.
As for being promoted again in this battle, he had hoped before the war, but now he had no hope at all. As long as he could survive, he would be satisfied.
The White Demon Church's ships kept moving forward, and the battle lasted from the afternoon to the evening.
The battle line was getting closer and closer to the coastline, and the Royal Navy kept retreating. The lighthouse on the coastline became clearly visible. As the Royal Navy's warships sank one after another, the defeat became more and more obvious.
"An alchemist like a borer! He even dares to arm the Church of the Evil God! Have those beasts forgotten the cruelty of the Evil God?"
The curses of the Navy Commander Nahor over and over again had no effect. The alchemists would not give up their extremely effective strategy because of his curses, and the White Demon Church would not miss the opportunity to completely destroy the Royal Navy.
Behind Nahor, the servants were ready for the final desperate counterattack.
As the Earl of the Peninsula, he must die in this naval battle.
If he escapes back to the land and the Eastern Fleet is completely destroyed, the king will have the power to take back his land. In most cases, the king will mercifully forgive the Nahor family and retain some of the Nahor family's land, but from then on, the Nahor family will be severely damaged and will no longer have the opportunity to go further.
Only by dying in battle can the family keep the land, the wealth, and even be rewarded by the king. The design of the knight system forces every knight to rush to the enemy desperately in the most difficult circumstances to fight for the only chance of winning.
The sun in the distance has slowly sunk into the sea, just like the fate of the Royal Navy.
The Ancient East Fleet, the last mobile force of the Royal Navy, is about to be slaughtered by the White Demon Church. The already weak Royal Navy is about to face a heavy blow.
Nahor, the commander of the navy, is also a noble who made his fortune by the sea. He does not have a family as powerful as the Earl of Golden Anchor, and his fiefdom is only a small peninsula. At this time, veins popped up on both sides of his temples, showing his bad mood.
The chimneys of the Royal Navy ships spewed out black smoke that became much smaller, because these ships had very little room to maneuver.
Just when all the Elba people were desperate, three large ships suddenly appeared on the sea in the distance!
On the three strange-looking large ships, the golden anchor flag was flying!
The golden anchor flag was painted very roughly, and the flag looked like a randomly torn bed sheet. The pattern was newly painted with yellow paint, but it was indeed the shape of a golden anchor!
For a moment, the commanders of all the ships looked at the clippers of the Doc Manor. Could the Golden Anchor Family still take out three large ships at this time?
