Chapter 718 719. Battle of Queen’s Island
Eight magic airships lined up high in the sky, passing over the fleet of three-masted sailing ships with a crushing force.
When the gray dwarf bandits first saw these magic airships, they thought they were reinforcements from other gray dwarf bandits. Some gray dwarf bandits standing on the observation deck of the main mast even kept waving semaphores to signal the magic airships. Floating over the Queen's Island Pier, it suppressed the ten ancient war trees on both sides of the port, as well as the Silver Pegasus knights flying in the air.
But as soon as these magic airships approached the fleet of three-masted sailing ships, giant magic explosion arrows were shot out from the magic airships.
Fifty-six whaling heavy crossbows fired magic crossbow arrows at the same time. These magic flames brought gorgeous tail flames and drew beautiful arcs in the sky. Then, the three masts were almost touching each other. The sailboat exploded.
Because these three-masted sailing ships had to land at the port pier of Queen's Island, a large number of three-masted sailing ships were tightly packed together in the sea near the port pier.
The duergar brigands jumped from these close-knit barques to the harbor docks to join the battle.
The explosive arrows fell on the deck and exploded. Countless cracked flames clung to the hull and burned. Although these wooden sailboats had some fire protection treatment, they could not stop these explosive arrows at all. The three-masted sailboats came one after another. It started to burn, and the gray dwarf bandits on the ship tried to put out the fire, but were injured by the falling magical explosion arrows.
A series of fiercely burning magic arrows fell on the three-masted sailboat...
The crew on the magic airship fired ten rounds of magic explosion arrows in succession. At least half of the three-masted sailing ship on the sea began to burn. The fire first engulfed the style of the ship, and then several masts burned. Embers continued to fall. On the deck, soon, the wooden deck of the three-masted sailboat was also ignited by fire.
The three-masted sailing ships in the back continued to gather towards the port dock. The gray dwarf bandits on board saw that the three-masted sailing ships in front were completely submerged by exploding arrows, and there were fires on board. The three-masted sailing ships in the back did not dare to continue. As they approached, they quickly turned the helm, allowing the barque to quickly escape from the harbor dock before it plunged into flames.
This part of the three-masted sailing ship capable of escaping from the port dock is not even one-third of the entire fleet.
A fire broke out on the battlefield, and the hot air rushed to high altitudes. The eight magic airships could no longer hover over the flames, and could only rely on the magic propulsion device to move forward against the wind...
Roy stood on the bow of the magic airship, watching dozens of three-masted sailboats being engulfed by fire. He pointed in the direction of the port terminal and urged loudly:
"Stop burning these three-masted sailing ships. Let's stop the group of gray dwarf bandits who landed on the island. These guys are so courageous that they dare to besiege Queen's Island..."
The magic propulsion devices at the tails of the eight magic airships flashed with magic light and slowly drove out of the sea of fire area.
The magic airship's whaling heavy crossbow no longer shoots magic bursting arrows, but instead shoots magic wind blade arrows. These magic crossbow arrows fell and exploded among the gray dwarf bandits. Countless wind blades were struck by the magic crossbow arrows. They flew out one after another after the explosion.
These wind blades penetrated through the gaps in the heavy armor, immediately injuring a large number of gray dwarf bandits, and blood flowed out from the gaps in the armor.
The magic crossbow arrows are dropped from the sky regardless of the cost...
The more than 30 three-masted sailing ships behind saw the sea of fire burning at the port pier and did not dare to stay. They drove the three-masted sailing ships to leave Queen's Island...
Seeing eight magic airships rushing into the battlefield and attacking ten ancient war trees, scaring away a third of the gray dwarf bandits, the Silver Moon Elf archers standing on the crown of the ancient war tree suddenly let out a tsunami-like roar. cheer.
Eight magic airships approached the Queen's Island Pier. Under Roy's orders, hundreds of mixed-blood elf guards crowded on both sides of the deck. They took out their forest bows and, under the captain's orders, shot out pieces uniformly. Rain of arrows.
Although the gray dwarf bandits were wearing barrel helmets, the arrow rain was too dense. Many arrows hit the barrel helmets and immediately made a clanging sound...
The sudden appearance of the magic airship caught the mixed elves on the port dock a little off guard.
The magic arrows rained down one after another, and the gray dwarf bandits could only raise the tower shields above their heads. In this way, when the gray dwarf bandits charged forward, only the gray dwarf bandits in front were the only ones holding the tower shields forward...< br>
A large number of Silver Moon Elf guards were crowded around the port terminal. These Silver Moon Elf guards stood between the ancient war trees. They wore the most sophisticated equipment and resisted the attack of the gray dwarf bandits.
The spearmen standing behind the elven guards holding swords and shields thrust out their spears from the gaps in the human wall. Before the gray dwarf bandits could rush up, the inside of the skirt, the weakest part of the armor, was penetrated by the spears. The gray dwarf bandit kept wailing and fell in front of the elf guard.
Some gray dwarf bandits who reluctantly rushed forward held war hammers and slammed them on the iris shield of the Silver Moon Elf guard. The heavy hammers in their hands were very powerful. As long as the Silver Moon Elf guard holding up the shield could not hold on, the next second , the heavy hammer will hit the gray dwarf bandit's helmet.
If it is hit with a hammer, even the most sophisticated magic helmet will be dented by the heavy hammer.
The Silver Moon Elf guards kept falling, and the Silver Moon Elf warriors behind the team immediately picked up the iris shield and put it on top to maintain the wall.
There are less than 20,000 Silver Moon Elf guards on Queen's Island. With the cooperation of the Ancient War Tree, they can withstand the impact of the Gray Dwarf bandits...
Every time a spear falls from the silver Pegasus knights in the sky, a gray dwarf bandit will take away his life.
With the rain of arrows shot from the magic airship, these gray dwarf bandits crowded on the port pier were actually blocked on the pier, unable to move forward or retreat. The three-masted sailboat behind them ignited a raging fire, and the way forward was blocked by the well-equipped Silver Moon. Elf guards blocked it.
The gray dwarf bandits wanted to rush to the island, but couldn't...
I wanted to get back to the three-masted sailboat, but all the three-masted sailboats near the dock were on fire...
A large number of gray dwarf bandits crowded on the port dock. The Silver Moon Elf archers on the ten ancient war trees shot arrows one after another. Arrows continued to fall from the magic airship. The gray dwarf bandits kept falling after being hit by arrows. Some duergar bandits tried to retreat back to the sea.
It's just that the sea water has been heated by the fire, and the gray dwarf bandits can only rush towards Queen's Island desperately.
Some aerial roots kept appearing at the feet of the ten ancient war trees. These tough roots tied the legs of the gray dwarf bandits, trapping them in place...
In order to fight against the dark Faceless warriors on the Sun Island Bay, the arrows Roy equipped for the mine guard group were all magic arrows. Facing these gray dwarf bandits wearing barrel helmets, the mixed elf guard warriors only had to point down The gray dwarf bandits were completely unable to stop the armor-piercing arrows.
Under the pouring of a large number of arrows, the gray dwarf bandits on the port dock began to suffer a large number of casualties.
The gray dwarf bandits fell down one by one. The corpses were so dense that they were almost stacked on top of each other.
The gray dwarf bandits, led by dozens of leaders, have been trying to find a breakthrough. Unfortunately, the ancient war trees on Queen's Island are connected together to form a very long tree wall. The Silver Moon Elf guards are separated by the tree wall, using spears. Assassinate the gray dwarf bandit. Now the gray dwarf bandit is completely trapped on the port dock and cannot escape at all...
Until the number of gray dwarf bandits was less than 30,000, and more than half of the gray dwarfs on the port pier were injured or killed. The gray dwarf bandits completely lost their fighting spirit, and they began to roar at the Silver Moon Elf guards on the port pier.
The magic airship and the elven archers on the ancient war tree stopped almost at the same time... The gray dwarf bandits on the port dock put down their weapons and raised their hands, thinking that the Silver Moon elves on Sun Island had declared their surrender.
At this moment, the fire has spread to the port pier, and dozens of three-masted sailing ships were destroyed in the sea of fire. In addition to the three-masted sailing ships, a large number of medium-sized sailing ships also burned at the port pier.
At dusk, billowing smoke broke into the sky from Queen's Island Pier.
The elven guard warriors quickly received the gray dwarf bandit prisoners of war, and a disgusting smell of barbecue floated in the fire burning at the port dock.
After the gray dwarf bandits surrendered, Roy tried to shoot magic ice arrows at the three-masted sailing ship that was on fire. Unfortunately, the fire was too fierce. Even if the magic ice arrows flew to the deck of the three-masted sailing ship, they were instantly destroyed. The flames evaporated.
The gray dwarves who surrendered on the port dock were escorted to a beach. These gray dwarves were chained together by the Silver Moon Elf warriors. After some counting, it was found that 27,000 gray dwarves were captured in this battle. robber.
In addition, the Silver Moon Elf warriors also dragged out nearly 8,000 seriously injured gray dwarf bandits from the pile of corpses...
The fire burned into the night, and Roy's magic airship landed in the sea near Queen's Island.
He took a small boat to the shore. The reception officer of the 17th Silver Pegasus Military Headquarters was already waiting on the shore. When he saw him coming off the small boat, he immediately stood up and saluted!
"Captain Roy, your lordship invites you!"
Roy waved his hand and said: "Lead the way!"
Thick smoke and smoke appeared throughout Queen's Island, and the wreckage of some ships and the corpses of gray dwarf bandits were floating in the sea.
Roy couldn't help but cover his mouth and nose when walking.
The Silver Moon elves who were cleaning the battlefield on the beach all turned their attention to Roy.
……
Seeing that the Queen's Island Port Pier had been burned to the ground, Roy slowed down. The heat radiating from the terminal would still sting his skin even though it was nearly a hundred meters away. He didn't know how long the fire would last.
However, the elves have removed all fires near the port that may be connected to the forest, and even the ten ancient war trees have returned to the forest.
The Silver Moon elves have obviously given up on the port dock and are no longer trying to extinguish the fire here.
The billowing smoke flew into the sky, forming a large gray cloud in the sky. Some of the ashes that floated into the sky flew down again, spreading everywhere.
Roy walked along the forest path until halfway up the mountain. There were some injured Silver Moon elves everywhere along the way. They were resting and receiving treatment.
The Moon Temple did not provide any help in this battle, and the Silver Moon elves could only use magic potions to treat the wounds.
Roy came to the tree of life, just as Earl Swinburne and Earl Macaulay, with a group of Silver Moon Elf officers, were comforting the wounded Silver Moon Elf soldiers who were resting in the forest.
Roy followed the reception elf and walked over, taking the initiative to salute Earl Swinburne and Earl Macaulay.
Earl Swinburne put down the magic potion bottle in his hand, turned around and looked at Roy seriously, and asked him:
"Roy, what's the situation on the Partington plane? If you didn't stay at Sun Island Bay, why did you take the magic airship to the Queen Egwene Islands?"
Roy knew that Earl Swinburne was very concerned about the battle situation at Sun Island Bay, so he said: "The situation at Sun Island Bay has stabilized. In fact, the main force resisting the Dark Faceless Army there is not us, but the Kraken in the sea. Legion.”
"I heard from Chief Berkeley that the situation in the Queen Egwene Islands is a bit tense. If the magic airships are gathered together and the knights have a smooth journey, it will not take much time to fly from Padstow City to the Queen Egwene Islands."
Roy added.
Earl Swinburne nodded and said to Roy: "Your fleet arrived in time."
With that said, Earl Swinburne patted Roy's shoulder with his hand.
"Lord Earl, I would like to apply to go out to sea tomorrow to pursue the remaining gray dwarf bandits. I think they may not be able to leave the outer islands of the Queen Egweni Islands this night, so I will catch up with them in a magic airship tomorrow morning and I will definitely be able to stop them. .”
Roy applied to Earl Swinburne.
"Yes, there are currently two Silver Pegasus Knights chasing the fleeing fleet. When they reach the open sea, you can cooperate with each other to fight!" Earl Swinburne reminded Roy.
"Yes!"
Earl Macaulay, who was standing aside, took the opportunity to interject:
"Roy, what is going on in the mines in the Caldeum Mountains of the Pagisto Plateau? Why did someone complain to me? Because you reached out to obstruct them in secret, those silver mines had to be closed. This time you come Military department, don’t you want to explain it to me?”
"I didn't stand in the way, and you know...I just came back from the Dark Portal Expeditionary Force camp a while ago. As soon as I returned to the Partington plane, the Sun Island Bay was discovered before the mine guards had time to repair it. Army of Darkness, I don't have time to care about those things." Roy said a few words casually.
Earl Swinburne nodded slightly, his eyes falling on Earl Macaulay.
Earl Macaulay turned to look at the two Silver Moon Elf guard captains behind him, thought for a moment, and said to Roy:
"The operating rights of the silver mines in the Kardim Mountains should be returned to you! I can see that only you can operate the mines on the Pagisto Plateau to achieve good benefits."
Roy ignored the unwilling expressions on the faces of the two Silver Moon Elf leaders behind Count Macaulay and loudly agreed:
"Yes, Earl Macaulay!"
