Chapter 1536: Mutation at Sea

The iron-clad ship painted with the dragon pattern is not a multi-masted sailing ship in the general sense. It also has multiple masts on it, but only half of the sail is raised on the mast, which obviously does not use pure wind power. Besides, the wind at sea tonight is flat, even if the full sail is hoisted, it will not be as fast as it is now. Its power comes from the six huge water wheels on both sides of the ship, each water wheel is as big as a round table, and the water waves are stirred by the rotation of the wheel blades, pushing the iron-clad ship forward. Through the blades, it can be seen that a thick axle at the back leads directly into the hull, and what is connected to the axle inside the hull is actually a set of complicated chain shaft machines. Shouting could be heard from above through the upper deck.

"Step on it, you skinny monkeys!"

In the closed cabin above, there is the smell of sweat mixed with sea water. The cabin was brightly lit, and three rows of slaves on each side were constantly stepping on the pedals. These pedals drove the chain shaft machine below, so that the water wheels on both sides of the hull turned rapidly. There are seven or eight supervisors in the cabin, all holding long and barbed whips in their hands. If any slave steps slowly, he will whip the whip.

One of the supervisors snorted and said: "Work hard for me, otherwise there will be no food tomorrow." He is the chief supervisor of the power room, and both the supervisor and the slave are yellow-skinned and black-haired Orientals. After the chief supervisor yelled a few words, he walked to the passage and stepped up a creaking wooden ladder. Open the upper door, and behind the door is another cabin. Soldiers in iron armor are shouting loudly and running back and forth. They pushed a long flat wooden boat to the front and lined up. The package and the bow of the ship are carved into the shape of a dragon's head, and black iron pipes protrude from the dragon's mouth, like pocket artillery.

Each boat has six seats, and two sets of oars are placed on it. It seems that this kind of boat is light and fast.

The foreman continued to go up and passed through three layers of cabins, each with different functions and personnel. Finally, he came to the deck and was stopped by a man as strong as a bear: "Tell your slaves to hurry up, King Pingxi is getting impatient."

The chief supervisor hurriedly said: "I know, Lord Luo."

The officer surnamed Luo left with a grunt. There were torches on both sides of the deck, and soldiers were pushing the dragon-headed cannons painted in red to the front of the ship. Boxes of shells were lifted out of the warehouse and sent to the bow by Lishi. The officer walked to the bow of the ship, there was a wooden building on the bow, and on the wooden building, a man stood on the platform protruding from the building in front. With his back to the officer, the man was dressed in iron-colored fur and a high crown with a red silk ribbon floating left and right. The officer knelt down behind him and said, "I tell the lord that our army is ready to fight. We can attack the city after the lord gives an order."

The man finally turned around.

Under the firelight was a handsome face, even though he was middle-aged, he did not look old. There was not a trace of wrinkle on that jade-like face, which was obviously well maintained, with sword-like eyebrows and phoenix eyes, tight lips, and an extraordinary aura about her.

He is wearing armor of the same color as the fur cloak, but the armor is very oriental, embellished with bright red patterns, which can be vaguely seen as flying dragon patterns. There was a long sword hanging from his waist, and the gauntlet and hilt alone were inlaid with expensive gemstones, which showed the preciousness of this sword.

The man known as the prince smiled and said: "Then what are you waiting for, let us teach these western barbarians a lesson, if they are willing to submit to our Panlong Empire, that's all. If not, we will wipe them out , and then train these aliens well.”

The officer surnamed Luo shouted loudly: "Take orders."

A moment later, there was a gloomy knocking sound on the boat, and the knocking sound was followed by the same knocking sound on both sides. The knocking sound continued to spread around the iron-clad ship, and after a while, drums rang like thunder in the dense fog on the sea. The rhythm is intense, which is the signal to attack.

With the sound of the drum, the sea near the iron-clad ship also set off huge waves. As the waves splashed, a little bit of fluorescent light lit up on the sea surface, and suddenly, something broke through the water. Under the firelight of the ship, it turned out to be a sea snake with a head as big as a sailboat. The sea snake has dark purple scales all over its body,

The two snake pupils are golden and shiny, and there is a snake bone protruding between the eyebrows, like a short and thick horn. It opened its mouth and screamed, and the thick fog that wrapped the fleet gradually dispersed. After the thick fog dissipated, a huge fleet suddenly appeared on the surface of the Ark Harbor. Nearly a hundred iron-clad ships were heading towards the port. The red dragon artillery that had been pushed to the bow roared one after another. Boom, the roar of the cannon was like thunder, resounding through the night sky of the city, tearing the quiet night into pieces.

The shells blasted from the Red Dragon Cannon rotated rapidly, drawing a parabola on the sea surface and falling on the pier or mountain wall. The shell shells shattered at the moment of collision, and small shells were sputtered from the inside, followed by a series of explosions. Under the bombardment of more than a hundred artillery pieces at the same time, the cliff facing the sea in Ark Harbor fell off with a bang. As the angle of the artillery began to rise, the shells fell into the edge of the city, gradually spreading the flames towards the city.

Amidst the roar of artillery fire, both sides of the bows of the ironclad ships were opened, revealing the cabins inside, and a deck protruded from the cabins, connecting to the sea. Then those flat dragon-headed boats slid down from the deck, and after falling to the sea, the soldiers in charge of paddling paddled the oars vigorously, so one after another the dragon-headed boats quickly sailed into the port in the mountain.

At this time, an army stationed at the port rushed over. The captain saw the face of these dragon-headed boats change, and shouted: "Shoot! Sink them, don't let these things go to shore."

The soldiers squatted on the ground one after another, raised their muskets and fired at the enemy ships sailing into the port. The sound of gunfire echoed in the mountainside of the port. The several dragon-headed boats in front were shot open by the bullets, and the soldiers on them were shot to death before they could get ashore. But there were a lot of dragon-headed boats behind, and the soldiers on board also started to fight back. They set up iron shields, and the shields blocked the bullets from the muskets. Then, muskets protruded from behind the shield and shot at the shore. After a few rounds of shooting, the guards in Ark Harbor were killed and injured.

Soldiers from the east began to land. They quickly disembarked, jumped onto the pier, and after a brief assembly, they began to advance towards the Corridor of Surging Waves, intending to enter the city through the corridor. Soon, Shen Hai Lin Ji, who was in charge of the city's security, appeared in front of the invaders, so the two armies fought and fought in the Jingtao Corridor.

In Baibao's bedroom, Ruola woke up from her sleep when she heard the sound of guns. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw the firelight coming in from the window. Her husband, Orlando, was standing at the door, and seemed to be talking to the housekeeper Metz. The butler left in a hurry, while Orlando returned to the room, took out a set of armor, and put it on for himself.

"What happened?" Ruo La looked at the firelight outside the window, her heart beating fast. The war in the imperial capital is over, and the Shadow Principality has already withdrawn its troops, not to mention that now that the fire is clearly on the other side of the harbor, what kind of enemy will it be to attack from the sea.

Orlando said while wearing the armor: "We are under attack. The enemy comes from the sea. Their warships and equipment are unprecedented. They should not be enemies within the empire. I think these invaders should come from the other side of the sea. .”

Ruola has lived here for a long time, and there are many transoceanic businessmen in Ark Port. She knows that there is a continent in the far east on the other side of the sea. There is a powerful human empire on that continent, just like Mr. Long, who was once employed by her brother, came from the east. Orientals generally have yellow skin and black hair. They are delicate in mind, elegant in manner and full of mystery. Merchants who travel to and from the sea usually bring in spices and tea from the East, which are tributes to the royal family and will not flow into the market.

But Ruola did not expect that the Orientals not only have spices and tea, they also have artillery and transoceanic warships!

Orlando had already put on his battle armor and picked up his father's iron gun: "I have asked Mace to inform the cathedral that Father Miro and the others just came back this time, and there happened to be a crusader stationed here. I hope that Father Miro and the others This crusader can be loaned out. But we are the masters of this city, so the Ark Harbor needs to be guarded by ourselves. I will go to the pier now to have a look. You stay here and command the city defense team to evacuate the residents. Right. By the way, Earl Edward has to be informed that we may need his strength."

Ruola shook her head and said, "I'll go with you, I'm also a fighter."

Orlando squatted down, gently touched Ruola's swollen abdomen, and said, "Maybe you were a brave warrior once, but my dear, you are now the mother of our baby. So, do what a mother should do. "

Kissing Ruola's forehead, Orlando took the gun and left the bedroom. Ruola sighed and walked to the window. The fire was shining brightly outside the window, and although the pier and port could not be seen from here, Corola knew that it had become a battlefield.

"Be careful, Orlando," she said softly.

In the small building behind the cathedral, when Milo opened his eyes, the downstairs door slammed. Milo put on his clothes and went downstairs to open the door. A crusader knight was outside the door. The knight made a sign of the cross on his chest and said, "God bless, Father Miro, it's great that you're all right."

"What happened?"

"We have been attacked. We have just received an urgent report from White Castle. Fighting has already started at the port. White Castle hopes to use our strength. Captain Willick has already brought a team to rush. But he asked us to Take you and Miss Vera away, the carriage is ready, please follow me to the priest."

Milo nodded, took his dog and the knight and left. The nun priests in the church were also evacuating, and only he and Vera got into a carriage. Including the knight, a total of ten knights and twenty soldiers escorted the carriage away. In the carriage, the priest opened the curtains, looked at the people rushing on the street and sighed, "Really, you can't let people get a good night's sleep."

Vera next to her rolled her eyes.
