Chapter 64 The Fleet Attacks
Lei Lei’s little abacus started to click in her heart, and the beads in her abacus almost fell off her face, and she frantically encouraged Li Chengqi to go to the beach.
In fact, it’s okay not to go to the beach. As long as you go traveling and have fun, no matter how cautious a person is, his flaws will definitely be revealed due to relaxation.
And just when Lei Lei was frantically encouraging Li Chengqi to travel, Li Chengqi suddenly said:
"What can paddle the fastest?"
"?"
I was just talking about going to the beach, why did I suddenly say this?
It wasn't an illusion, Lei Lei felt that she really couldn't keep up with Li Chengqi's thinking.
"Um...it should be the propeller."
"Propeller propeller... By the way, I have an idea!"
"Brother Li, you have been a little absent-minded since just now, are you okay?"
Lei Lei was surprised to see Li Chengqi pick up his mobile phone, and even caught a glimpse of him opening the online shopping APP.
"It's okay, just some random thoughts."
"Then about going to the beach..."
"Oh, forget it. I have to open a store and don't have much time. And I'm not much of a person who likes going out."
After all, I was alone there, and it was too lonely. Going out to play was almost like a social life, so I might as well stay at home and play games.
"..."
Lei Lei was speechless. Why did Li Chengqi look like a psychopath today?

Year 648 of the Demon King's Calendar.
May 1st, night.
Entering May, even in the dry and rainless territory of Leon, drizzle finally began to fall. The dark clouds were mainly concentrated on the sea, blocking the stars and moonlight in the sky. Only the occasional thunder that flashed across the sky would slightly illuminate the oppressive atmosphere. night sky.
At the seaside port in Leon's territory, soldiers were busy setting up temporary positions.
Relying on the Leon Fortress does have advantages, but this is tantamount to handing the initiative to the enemy, allowing them to land easily.
The fault tolerance rates of the defensive side and the offensive side are not equal. As long as the offensive side has sufficient troops, it can launch countless attacks, but the defensive side only needs to make one mistake, and it is all over.
So after much deliberation, Viola and others decided to set up a position on the beach where it was easy to land.
Since the port is not deep enough, the warship will definitely not be able to dock directly. At that time, a group of soldiers should be rowing to the beach in a small boat.
This is an extremely good target. There is no place to hide, and it can cause great damage to the enemy.
There is no advantage in strength in the first place. If you get close, you will kill some of them. When you jump out of the boat and wade ashore, you will be knocked over by a hail of arrows. This can give a heavy blow to the enemy's morale.
From ancient times to the present, landing battles have been the most difficult battles, and war has never changed in this regard.
But then again, the enemy should also be aware of these disadvantages. Even if the general is a fool, his staff can explain everything clearly.
It is possible that there will be one or two idiots in the leadership, but it is impossible for all of them to be idiots.
Therefore, Viola felt that since the enemy dared to come, he must have a back-up plan.
Therefore, she also specially recruited horse-drawn oxcarts and other transportation vehicles from nearby villages and towns. Once the beachhead was established, she could quickly use these vehicles to transport soldiers back to the fortress and continue to hold on.
Due to the urgent situation and insufficient time, there is not much that Viola can do, otherwise she will at least find a way to get a dozen large ballistas to place on the beach. This is all she can do now.
Of course, in addition to her own efforts, Viola did not neglect the requirements made by the Demon King God.
The work of setting up the position was left to the soldiers and knights of the guard. Starting from this morning, Viola gathered a large number of civilians in the square of Leon Fortress and held a grand sacrificial ceremony.
From explaining scriptures to leading prayers, they also used magic to create sound and light effects. Viola didn't rest at all for the whole day. Apart from drinking some water to moisten her throat, she also didn't eat. She presided over the entire ceremony wholeheartedly until the sun went down.
"How's the situation?"
Not long after the ceremony ended, Viola rushed to the beach to ask again. "Your Highness, you should go and rest."
"I'm okay, I had something to eat on the way."
Years of swordsmanship training have made Viola very healthy, and she will not fall down even if she stays up all day.
Seeing this, Zola couldn't persuade him, so he had to report:
"The position has been basically set up, but because we went to stop the winter wolf before, we don't have enough fuel on hand now."
Oil is a very rare thing in this era. Since there are no rapeseeds in the local area, and they do not know how to extract oil from peanuts, the oil mainly comes from animal oils such as whales, and the only vegetable oil is olive oil.
The territory of Leon does not produce olives, and the olive oil relies entirely on merchants to transport it. But now that the canyon road is blocked, merchants cannot enter, so they use less oil.
Fire attacks are the most effective against sail warships. Insufficient oil is indeed a big problem, and it may be very difficult to fight them.
"How's the situation with the scout ship?"
"We have mobilized some fishing boats for reconnaissance, but for safety reasons, fishing boats cannot go deep into the sea. No trace of enemy forces has been found yet."
In other words, when discovered, the enemy must have been very close.
Viola was mentally prepared for a tough battle and asked again:
"Where are Alday and Wendy? I didn't see them."
"Miss Aldai is on the hillside. She said that the view there is good and you can use magic to see far away from the sea. Miss Wendy is in the baggage area and is responsible for counting the supplies."
"I understand, everyone should pay more attention."
"As commanded."
Zola responded and asked hesitantly: "Your Highness, Your Majesty..."
"Your Majesty did not give me any revelation during the ceremony, and I don't know if He is satisfied with the ceremony. Likewise, I don't know if He will personally take action. We should prepare for the worst."
Viola looked worried, always feeling that she might offend the gods by asking God to defeat the enemy so directly.
After all, even the God of War did not personally go out to help fight the war.
–‐‐——–‐‐——
"Hasn't it started yet? Doesn't it really have to wait until midnight?"
The situation was completely different from what Viola was worried about. Not only was Li Chengqi not dissatisfied at all, but he seemed very interested.
Although Li Chengqi didn't speak when Viola held the ceremony, he was still very happy to see the faith value rising rapidly.
Although Bailong's incident cost a lot of faith points, the aftermath of this incident made more people directly become believers, and the faith points quickly approached three thousand.
And the grand prayer that lasted all day brought the faith value to nearly 5,000.
In the past, personally intervening would only consume four to five hundred faith points at most. In other words, Li Chengqi had never fought such a rich battle.
No wonder he was so excited and prepared in advance that he had to make big news this time!
But then again, it’s hard to have a four-hour time difference between the game and reality.
Li Chengqi didn't have the habit of staying up late. It was night at Viola's side, but it was almost one o'clock in the morning at his side. Li Chengqi's eyelids had already started to fight, and he relied on Red Bull and chewing gum to support him.
Clicking on the map, you can see that the currently detected sea area is only a small area very close to the shore.
He asked Viola to send out a reconnaissance ship in order to discover the enemy's fleet in advance, but he did not expect that Leon's territory was actually full of fishing boats. There was only one fast ship from Sailing City that could sail far away, and that ship The crew members on the ship are not believers yet, so there is no way to open the map.
After more than half an hour of scrolling through the phone and occasionally glancing at the game screen, Li Chengqi couldn't hold on any longer.
But at this time, Li Chengqi saw that on the screen, a few pixels seemed to be moving on the 'edge' of the ocean.
This immediately cheered him up and he quickly zoomed in on the camera.
A mighty pixel wind fleet just broke into the detected area...
