Chapter 717 718. Battle of Queen's Island
The eight magic airships are uniformly equipped with whaling heavy crossbows. Each magic airship carries 500 mixed-blood elf guards. When the floating device is fully activated, the magic pattern The magic circle sprinkled patches of light blue starlight around the airship.
When passing through the portal, all the mixed-blood elves in the square were raising their arms and shouting, and there were even mixed-blood elves calling for Boss Roy.
Then eight magic airships appeared in the sky above Partington Island, rising quietly from the cracks in the mountain.
Roy stood on the bow of the ship. He saw a team of Silver Pegasus knights flying into the sky from the pier of Partington Island. When they came to wander around the magic airship, he happened to see a group of knights standing on the side of the ship. Roy on the bow of the ship, and the mixed-blood elf guards on the deck.
These Silver Pegasus knights paid a knighthood to Roy and then returned to the Partington Port Pier.
Today, Partington Island has become a material transfer station for the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion.
A large amount of war preparation materials are stored in the warehouse of the Partington Island Port Terminal. It was originally an island pier that could only dock three medium-sized sailing ships. After just a few years of development, it has now been expanded to accommodate docking. Twenty medium-sized sailing ships...
This is the most important shipping hub from the Elf Continent to the Queen Egwene Islands. Medium-sized sailing ships arrive at the port every day, and there are also ships leaving the port.
All supplies sent from the Partington plane must be sent out from the Partington Island Pier.
Most of these supplies will be sent to Castletown Port, and then sent to various parts of the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom from Castletown Port.
Since there are currently nearly one million mixed-race elves gathered on the Partington plane, the Partington plane is already the subsidiary plane that exports the most resources among the many planes in the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom.
It is also because of the huge tax revenue brought by the Partington plane and the large resource supply of the Partington plane that the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion can be stationed in the Queen Egwene Islands for so long. The Legion’s logistics line It never collapsed...
The 17th Silver Pegasus Legion stores a large amount of military supplies in the warehouse on the port dock of Partington Island, and a steady stream of supplies is sent to the Queen Egwene Islands every day.
Under Roy's instructions, the magic airship did not stop at Partington Island. After flying out of the gap in the mountainside, it climbed towards the wind layer.
In the wind and current layer, the magic airships began to speed up towards the Queen of Evening Islands...
A medium-sized sailing ship sailed from Partington Island to the Queen of Evening Islands. It took about a day and night to reach the main Queen Island. .
But the magic airship rose into the wind layer, and three hours later, Roy saw Queen's Island.
Roy stood on the ship's deck, facing the biting wind in the wind layer, and saw an archipelago disappearing from his sight...
I still remember when I led the first mine guard group The first time I came to the Key West Islands, when the mine guard group came to the island in a medium-sized sailing ship, the mixed-blood elf warriors still had nothing in their hands...
After stationing on that island for several months, before leaving, Roy took away eleven three-masted sailing ships.
It was these eleven three-masted sailing ships that accelerated the development of the Partington plane after being transformed into magic airships.
As Sun Island Bay was added to the territory occupied by the Partington plane, these magic airships rushed to Golfito Canyon, and Roy's mine guard group was also growing.
Now the number of mixed elf warriors in Roy's mine guard group has reached 20,000, not including the 2,200 gryphon cavalry and 1,500 meter assassin warriors. He is on Sun Island. There are more than 8,000 Siren warriors in the bay, and more than 20,000 Plateau Headhunters prisoners of war...
On the Partington plane, the tank of the Mine Guard Corps has expanded into a An extremely huge battleship.
Eight magic airships came to the Queen Egwene Islands to participate in the war. In fact, Roy also had some selfish motives. He is going to capture some more gray dwarf three-masted sailing ships...
This kind of gray dwarf three-masted sailing ship has a reasonable structure and is very strong. With the addition of the flotation device, it hardly needs any structural reinforcement. , it can be used as a magic airship.
In comparison, the Silver Moon Elf's medium-sized sailboat is much thinner. The hull will deform when it leaves the water. Even if it is equipped with a flotation device, it will not be able to fly into the sky.
Moreover, the hull of a medium-sized sailboat is relatively small, and its stability will be very poor after entering the wind layer...
Eight magic airships broke into the airspace of Queen's Island, except for the huge island standing in the sea. In addition, Roy also saw nearly a hundred three-masted sailboats gathered in the eastern waters of Queen's Island.
At this moment, Roy wanted to rush over and shout loudly to the gray dwarf bandits on these three-masted sailboats:
'Don't move, everyone get off my boat...'
The magic airship has slowly descended from the clouds. At this time, waves of attack horns came from the blue sea, and the entire sea seemed to be boiling because of this sound.
The gray dwarf bandits were so powerful this time. Roy made a preliminary estimate. If every ship was full of gray dwarf bandits, then there would probably be nearly 100,000 gray dwarves on board more than a hundred three-masted sailing ships. .
The total number of troops of the entire 17th Silver Pegasus Legion distributed in the Queen Egwene Islands cannot exceed 50,000. After all, the number of Silver Moon Elves is very small, and the number of Silver Moon Elves willing to join the army is even greater. few.
Of course, there is also a good side. The 17th Silver Pegasus Legion has absolute air supremacy in the Queen Egwene Islands. After all, four Silver Pegasus Knights have been stationed here for a long time.
The horn sounded, and all the three-masted sailing ships drew wavy lines on the sea...
The sails were raised, and the three-masted sailing ships attacked with all their strength.
Opposite the gray dwarf robbers are nearly a hundred medium-sized sailing ships. This fleet is completely inadequate to face a large three-masted sailing ship of seventy or eighty meters in length at sea.
The gray dwarf bandits even hit the cannons on the three-masted sailing ship. When the charge horn sounded, these cannons that spit out solid iron projectiles began to emit white smoke.
Pumpkin-like iron pellets flew out from the gray dwarf bandit's sailing ship and only caused a small splash when they landed in the sea. However, once these iron pellets hit the Silver Moon Elf's medium-sized sailing ship, they would almost directly destroy it. A large hole was smashed out of the hull of the medium-sized sailboat.
Some projectiles can even break the masts of medium-sized sailing ships. When they fall on the bodies of Silver Moon Elf guards, almost all their bones and tendons are broken. Some Silver Moon Elf guards will be directly hit by the iron balls ejected from the artillery. It's to pieces.
The moment the Charge sounded, the medium-sized sailboats of the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion began to collapse.
The two sides did not even have a real confrontation...
There were countless Silver Pegasus knights scattered in the sky. These Silver Pegasus flapped their white wings and circled back and forth in the sky. Silver flying The horse knights held long javelins and threw them towards the three-masted sailboat. For a moment, the javelins fell like raindrops.
These javelins are basically difficult to damage the hull of the three-masted sailing ship. The Silver Pegasus knights almost always aim at the artillerymen on the deck...
These javelins fall from high altitudes, and once they hit the gray dwarf cannon, Their hands, even if they were wearing barrel helmets, would be penetrated directly by these magic spears, and then their bodies would be nailed to the deck.
Soon there was a group of gray dwarves wearing full dwarf chain armor, holding tower shields in their hands, completely covering the deck of the three-masted sailboat, even if the spears in the sky fell frequently. Will shrink back.
As for the artillery on the three-masted sailing ship, it also fired frequently.
The medium-sized sailboat of the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion quickly retreated to the pier of Queen's Island, and the fleet of three-masted sailboats also rushed directly towards the pier of Queen's Island... There are ten trees scattered side by side on the pier of Queen's Island. Ancient war trees, these ancient war trees are sixty or seventy meters tall. Behind them is a large shoal covered with sea rocks. On the crown of the ancient war trees stand countless Silver Moon elves carrying forest bows on their backs. There are so many of them. Too many to count...
Looking at the black mass of three-masted sailing ships on the sea, the Silver Moon Elf guards on Queen's Island became extremely nervous, especially the medium-sized sailing ships that almost fled back to the port dock, clearly fighting. In the plan, the medium-sized sailing ship was to attract the gray dwarf fleet to the edge of pirates, but when such a collapse scene occurred on the sea, almost all the Silver Moon Elf guards felt a little weak at this moment.
A large number of artillery fire appeared on the three-masted sailing ship. The shells of these guns were all solid and the damage caused was very limited, but the damage to the medium-sized sailing ship was still very serious.
Now the gray dwarf bandits crowded all the decks. They raised the tower shields that were not full of iron nails, and almost avoided all the javelins of the Silver Pegasus knights in the sky.
The three-masted sailboat at the front was traveling very fast, almost rushing to the shoal of the port pier with overwhelming momentum.
A large number of gray dwarves jumped onto the beach along the sides of the ship and approached the pier of Queen's Island along the beach.
The ten ancient war trees on both sides of the pier used their strong wooden arms to roll up the sea rocks and began to smash them on the three-masted sailing ship. The three-masted sailing ship was constantly smashed by the huge rocks, causing the hull to be broken.
The Silver Moon elves on the ancient war tree relied on their height advantage to rain down arrows at the Gray Dwarf bandits rushing up in front of the port.
It is a pity that these gray dwarf bandits, with their strong physique, not only wear helmets like iron buckets, but also hold up tower shields like door panels on the outside of the dwarf chain armor. Arrows shot from ordinary forest bows The rain hardly hurts the duergar bandits.
Thousands of gray dwarf bandits at the front rushed to the beach, and some gray dwarf bandits rushed to the port pier. They fought hand-to-hand with the Silver Moon Elf guards on the port pier.
The magic armor of the elves is exquisite and light, and the weapons are flexible and sharp. The gray dwarf bandits are wearing heavy armor, holding tower shields, and carrying warhammers or giant axes in their hands. They rush forward and destroy everything in their eyes. See all the resistance forces.
The elven warriors used their flexible bodies to fight against the gray dwarf bandits. They sought to pierce the long swords along the gaps in the armor and give the gray dwarves a fatal blow.
The gray dwarf bandits will take the opportunity to lock the elves' weapons with their armor. If they do not let go of the weapons in their hands, their heads will be smashed by the gray dwarf warriors with a hammer in an instant.
As more and more gray dwarf bandits landed, nearly half of the port terminal was quickly lost.
The Silver Pegasus knights in the sky were unable to cause any harm to the shield-wielding gray dwarf bandits on the deck, so they flew over the dock one after another and fought against the Silver Moon Elf guards on the auxiliary port dock...< br>
But the Silver Pegasus knights of the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion are the main combat units on the battlefield.
Once the Silver Pegasus knights assist in fighting on the battlefield, their combat power will be greatly reduced.
The ten ancient war trees could only destroy the three-masted sailing ships that kept docking at the port. A large number of gray dwarf bandits boarded the medium-sized sailing ships and began to plunder the Silver Moon Elf warriors on the medium-sized sailing ships.
The entire Queen’s Island is filled with smoke...
……
Count Swinburne, who was standing on the observation deck high on the Tree of Life, frowned. Neither he nor the senior leaders of the legion expected that the gray dwarf bandits would attack so decisively. The gray dwarf bandits would do whatever it took. Capture Queen's Island.
Without the support of the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion from all parties in the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom, the battle front at the port terminal has already shown signs of collapse.
Some legion staff members are even persuading Earl Swinburne:
"My lord, the gray dwarf bandits have successfully landed on the island. For safety reasons, the legion headquarters should leave the island in advance."
“The battle has just begun, and before the outcome is decided, have you staff officers already begun to consider an evacuation plan?”
Lord Swinburne asked somewhat sullenly.
Several Silver Moon Elf staff officers on the side lowered their heads in shame, but still gritted their teeth and persisted and said: "Your Majesty, please leave the island in advance..."
The Silver Pegasus knights joined the port dock. During the fighting on the side, short flying spears were thrown from the sky, immediately blocking the attack of the gray dwarf bandits.
It’s just that the scale of the gray dwarf bandits was a bit large this time. As the three-masted sailboat behind them continued to approach the port, more gray dwarf bandits rushed onto the port pier.
At this moment, someone pointed at a few black spots exposed under the clouds in the sky and shouted: "Look, what are they?"
"It seems to be a magic airship!"
"It must be the magic airship of the gray dwarf bandits. Hurry up and send the Silver Pegasus knights to intercept it!" Some high-ranking officers have begun to shout out.
"Wait a minute, those magic airships look like those on the Partington plane..."
One of the leaders of the Silver Moon Elf Guards couldn't help shouting.
More senior officials began to notice the magic airship descending rapidly from high altitude.
"Isn't it said that the Partington plane is being attacked by the Dark Legion? Didn't Captain Roy establish a defensive front in the southern part of the plane?" Earl Macaulay approached Earl Swinburne and asked in a low voice.
Earl Swinburne squinted his eyes and looked at the sky. The magic airship in his eyes became clearer and clearer. He could even see the flag flying on the airship.
His eyes gradually became brighter...
...
Roy did not expect that the fleet would come to the Queen Egwene Islands at the right time...< br>
A large number of medium-sized sailing ships of the Silver Pegasus Legion were surrounded by three-masted sailing ships around the port pier. A group of gray dwarf bandits at the front of the fleet actually successfully landed on the island. The Silver Pegasus knights and Silver Moon Elf guards worked together to guard the port pier.
But more and more gray dwarf bandits rushed out of the three-masted sailing ship, and they kept approaching the port.
The elves relied on the ten ancient war trees to fight, but were occupied by gray dwarf bandits. Gray dwarf bandits were everywhere on the port docks.
Roy urged the captain to let the magic airship descend quickly.
The captain is worried that the magic airship falls too fast, and the flotation device will eventually be unable to stabilize the magic airship's fall, causing the magic airship to crash next to the port. The six flotation devices are always operating normally.
Roy could only ask the mixed elf warrior to aim the whaling heavy crossbow at the gray dwarf bandit's three-masted sailboat...
Magic bursting arrows flew out from the magic airship like meteors in the sky. He kept falling onto the three-masted sailboat, and then balls of fire appeared in Roy's eyes.
