Extraordinary Voyage Chapter 447: Red meteor (3,800 characters)
"Treasure Tree Bay" on the southern continent, a large bastion "Teddy Fort" jointly managed by the Tulip Alliance.
The exclusive recreation room for the captains.
A capable officer with short brown hair and wearing a Tyrolean uniform, put down the expired newspaper in his hand, and sincerely praised another captain next to him:
"Hey, Captain Gehr, your family is really an amazing character!"
For them who have been in remote areas of the Southern Continent for many years, apart from the military’s internal newspapers, they can only use these outdated newspapers to learn about the news on the other two continents.
And this one used the whole main version to praise Brigadier General Ivan Galliot, the deputy commander of the New World garrison, and his great contribution to solving the new world's virulent infectious disease.
At the same time, in recognition of his achievements, the Royal Society of Medicine has prepared to award him a Hippo Clarke First Class Medal that has not been awarded for at least three years.
The several captains stationed next to the fleet laughed and echoed:
"If my son can be half as good as Brigadier General Galliot, I can wake up from a dream."
"Me too!"
"By the way, Colonel Gehr, find a chance for the younger generations to sit together. My daughter is beautiful, and she is also a talented student at the Tulip Art Academy... Huh, huh, what are you pulling me for?"
As colleagues who have worked with Geer for a long time, they certainly know the relationship between the two. Although the last name is different, the brigadier general is no different from the eldest son of the Geer family.
Some people have also obtained some high-quality potions from Gehr, which are extremely difficult to obtain from the kingdom channels. Needless to say, they are all from the hands of Ivan, who has not forgotten his uncle after he developed.
And Geer, who enjoys the treatment of the star holding the moon, is also a little emotional. Originally, he predicted that Ivan would be a general within ten years. How long has passed since, and it's time for my uncle to be expensive with his nephew?
But... this feeling is really good!
Geer's gaze passed through the windows of the bastion and across the endless black sea with blooming waves, as if he had seen the vast continent on the other side of the sea.
"This is probably far from your limit, right? Ivan. However, I should be fast too. I will break through with peace of mind when the garrison mission is over and I return!"
subconsciously touched the bottle of amber potion in his pocket that he could not leave.
.......
"Treasure Tree Bay" is located 2,300 kilometers north of Cape Agulhas, the southernmost tip of the mainland.
When the countries just began to colonize the southern continent, this area with a subtropical and semi-desert climate was arid and drier. It was a barren land.
However, the Tulip Alliance, as a colonial latecomer, is not qualified to be picky at all.
After occupying a piece of land that is better than nothing in the Zaire Basin, I have no choice but to continue southward to explore the places that the powerful countries dismissed.
may really be the time to go, but in this barren land at the southern end of the mainland, they have discovered two great treasures one after another!
One of them is the Witwatersrand Basin found in the central plateau.
There is a gold-bearing conglomerate belt of hundreds of kilometers, and an average of 10 grams of gold can be produced per ton of gold-bearing conglomerate. The total proven gold reserves are 12,000 tons. It is called the Lande Gold Mine.
was also one of the foundations of the first rise of the Kingdom of Ilya after the discovery of the new route.
Later, as the proven reserves of gold mines continued to increase, the Ilya royal family soon realized that it was difficult to monopolize them, so through numerous exchanges of benefits, the Tulip Alliance countries finally had a share in the gold mines.
also gathered the power of the entire tulip to firmly occupy this place!
The other is "Treasure Tree Bay" on the West Bank.
Even if the climate, soil, and geographical location are bad, it is not suitable for the growth of large trees. But after the wizards' investigation, this place is actually at the key "magic element" node of the entire continent.
Extraordinary power has created a number of oak varieties with extraordinary quality-"Iron Oak".
"Iron Oak" is an excellent shipbuilding material in terms of hardness, toughness, and water expansion rate. Among them, the most high-quality existence is called "Treasure Tree". It is an extraordinary material that can be used to build legendary battleships. It is also the origin of the name "Treasure Tree Bay".
Because of the extraordinary power bonus, the legendary battleship already existed before the first battleship was launched in the true sense. The grading of battleships from one to six must be even after this.
then.
The battle surrounding "Treasure Tree Bay" is also the fiercest big gold mine, and it may still need to weigh the consequences of one and six. But "Treasure Tree Bay" is like a natural nuclear arsenal in this era. It is the existence of a powerful country that has to take a share no matter how much it pays!
Especially the time when Tulips discovered this treasured land was very late after the establishment of the colonial pattern of the New World.
At that time, Hilius already had the capital of the hegemon, carrying the infinite power to destroy the two indigenous empires of the Atrians in one fell swoop, and his style of behavior was gradually exposed. But Heymar, the desert kingdom, is gradually complacent, lying in a privileged location and eating his own money.
Hilius, the Tulip Alliance, and Atlan are the major forces that are qualified to take a bite. They have fought more than a dozen battles, large and small.
In the end, they fixed their respective interests in "Treasure Tree Bay" in the form of a contract.
As the first discoverer, the three countries with the strongest tulip, Ilya, Falettis, and Tyro, have substantive jurisdiction over here.
They accounted for 30% of Treasure Tree’s share of 50% of the ordinary iron oak share.
The price is that 50% of the treasure tree in the kingdom of Hilius must be given to the overlord, and 10% of the ordinary iron oak as a tribute
After setting aside a separate copy for the Duchy of Tulips, the rest will be divided between Atlan and other Tulip countries.
Even with contractual constraints, these shares are guaranteed.
During the normal period, each of the Tulip Three Kingdoms stationed a great knight in this not too big place, and under the common share of military power, they maintained the powerful combat power of three Tier 3 great knights and a quasi-legendary ship all year round.
The specifications are almost comparable to their colony in the New World.
But.
With the further turbulence in the domestic situation, Tier 3 of the Kingdom of Ilya has left early, and it is obvious that he is busy standing in line.
While the other two countries are a bit angry, it is not surprising that all the great knights who have advanced title potential and are loyal to Ilya have been summoned back to work hard for the succession of the kingdom to protect and continue the kingdom.
I use my **** to think and know that those who are still outside now either have already taken refuge in the new aristocracy or have fallen in the wind.
The evil consequences of the emptiness of combat power are borne by the other two countries. Today, only two great knights from the Kingdom of Falettis and Tyrol are supported, plus a quasi-legendary battleship belonging to the Tyrolean Kingdom, the "Five Mast Peak".
Obviously, not only are they allies clear about the situation in Ilya, but also the Hilius.
So.
When the war comes.
was so unprepared for them, but it was so natural.
hu——
The scorching sea breeze in the subtropical region blew the military flag violently.
"Fire!"
"Kill——!"
On the vast sea outside "Treasure Tree Bay", two rows of long snake-like battle lines anxiously pour out firepower at each other desperately.
Boom! boom! boom! boom! boom! boom! ...
The thunderous artillery fire made the sea tremble, and people's hearts were trembling.
In the thick smoke, warships capsized from time to time. Under the shining of the blood-colored sunset, it seems that the whole sea is burning, and I don’t know how much of it is sunset and some of it is blood!
But the well-prepared Hilius, no matter in the battleship level or the strength of the extraordinary, they are obviously more than one stable.
Even after the division of forces, a combined sea and land attack was launched against several main targets at the same time. But "Baoshu Bay" and "Rand Gold Mine" are undoubtedly the absolute top priorities.
"Treasure Tree Bay" is not only stationed with the strongest military force, but also commanded by the peak knight Griffizi himself.
While opening the battle line, lining up and bombing.
The pinnacle knight handed over the command to the king’s party deputy commander, steel knight Kungang Taita, and successfully suppressed the alliance of the two great knights of Falettis and the Kingdom of Tairo by himself.
On the periphery of the bay, the swift and windy "Red Maple" also firmly suppressed the quasi-legendary battleship "Five Mast Peak" with dual capabilities in the Kingdom of Tyrol.
At this time, the only thing the Tulip Fleet can rely on is the bravery and decisiveness of the soldiers who dare to seize the upper hand and retreat!
Seeing that the situation seems to be too critical to deal with.
step on.. step on.. step on..
Two figures wearing wizard robes with strong technical qualities have reached the second floor of the bastion, which is also the turret layer of the bastion.
lifted a huge tarpaulin, revealing a golden rune flowing underneath it, compared with ordinary artillery, it is almost like a giant gun.
The current Hilius is not the old Hilius, and Falettis is obviously no longer the old Falettis.
Alchemy wizards from the "Violet Eye" are mostly not good at frontal combat, but no one can underestimate their war potential.
This door is powered by alchemy stones and uses all the most advanced artillery technology.
has a caliber of 203.2 mm, a muzzle length of 9,300 mm, and a total combat weight of 17,000 kg. The muzzle velocity is 933 meters per second, and the rate of fire is 2 rounds per minute. The weight and range of the projectiles launched were: Cone-bottomed concave projectile, with a weight of 95.9 kg and a maximum range of 40 kilometers.
Although it cannot be installed on any sailing warship due to its terrible recoil and self-weight, the large bastion is its excellent carrier, equivalent to another immobile quasi-legendary.
boom——!
With a loud noise that shattered the sky, a rampant Tier 3 ship on the distant sea was crashed through a large hole several meters in diameter. The turbulent sea water has lost the value of rescue.
half a minute later, another ship in the battle line of Hilius
and Hilius reacted extremely fast.
under the cover of five or six small gunboats.
Another great knight in the Hilius fleet, Kungang Taita, had already rushed to the port like a steel rhino in heavy armor, and went straight to the "alchemy artillery" on the bastion.
嘭! Bang! Bang! ...
Heavy steel boots step on the ground, every foot can step on the broken stone, facing the bastion that has no third-order power to guard, a cruel smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Haha, the wizard will die!"
Seeing such a scene~IndoMTL.com~Ger, who is directing the battle on the "Maywind" in the battle line, has a slight flicker in his eyes.
Both sides of the battle are very clear at this moment. The key to the battle at this moment is not the quasi-legendary battleship, not the battle line, or the three great knights. Only that door is the only hope for the Alliance to come back!
But if a Tier 3 great knight rushes into the bastion without hindrance and kills, before the weapons in the hands of ordinary soldiers undergo qualitative changes, they will not be able to resist it.
The gap between the formal knight and the great knight is more than just a kind of extraordinary energy?
Tier 2 may be driven back by flintlock muskets, or even besieged by musket arrays without retreating. But when it comes to Tier 3, especially Tier 3 with full body armor, there is no problem even if one person slaughters an army.
If the bastion were to fall, there would be no second possibility other than the great rout and massacre.
The Alliance has no way out at this time!
Looking at the warships that were sunk by the heavy artillery of Tier 3 ships and colleagues who were dying at any time, Geer secretly gritted his teeth and shouted: "First Mate Perry is in charge of the battle."
took out the bottle of amber potion with his own body temperature and poured it into his mouth violently. It was a precious potion "breath of giant beasts" that could increase the peak knight's promotion probability.
A gift from Aiwen on his waist suddenly shines, and his strength is increased again.
boom——! ! !
The next moment, the raging flames of fighting spirit have exploded like a volcano!
嗖——
In the unbelievable gazes of both the enemy and us, a scarlet meteor rubbed the sea and rushed towards the bastion of the harbor.
But what is contained in it is the power of a volcanic eruption, plus the same...chaos and tyranny!
