Necromancer: Becoming a God from a Lord
Chapter 442: The Lion of the North (Part 2)
The fleet commander sent by the Royal City Guard to block the river channel at the mouth of the Alva River was nominally led by Duke Ralph, and in fact all the soldiers sent out were the guard captain Quaker.
Quick is an orthodox knight who was canonized. His father was a court baron without a fiefdom. Naturally, he could not inherit the title. As an honorary title, he could only be regarded as the lowest level among the nobles.
He was able to pull the banner of Duke Ralph and follow him to carry out the mission of blocking the river and blocking the enemy. Quick thought he had taken a big advantage. Not only did he be rewarded in terms of merit and practice, but only the period of time when the river was blocked It can scrape a lot of oil and water from the merchant fleet.
The other nobles naturally couldn't bear to pay the toll from the merchant fleet, but Quak didn't care about this problem at all - ordinary merchant fleets naturally did not dare to offend the Royal City Guard, even if they encountered the nobles or the royal merchant teams of other countries. , and Duke Ralph, the famous shield in front. As long as you are not too greedy, the task of blocking the estuary is successfully completed, Quick and his confidants can also take the opportunity to make a fortune.
Return to the capital with this considerable income, and divide some to honor the powerful people who are in important positions in the royal court, so that they can help them actively lobby for themselves. Maybe they will have the chance to be granted the title and become a true hereditary nobleman. .
Thinking of this, Quick couldn't help but glance at the Duke of Ralph sitting next to him drinking. Yesterday they stopped a merchant fleet holding the flag of Maple Leaf City, the other party's caravan leader repeatedly expressed his There is a commercial partnership with a baron in Jinhui City, but Quak still detains the fleet on the grounds that he has not informed them in advance for a whole night, and finally forces the other party to pay a fifty pounds of toll. The soldiers also took the opportunity to move away several barrels of wine that were obviously supplied to the upper class.
向来喜爱饮酒的拉尔夫公爵,对此也是睁一眼闭一只眼,对他们占据河道公然勒索的行为抱持默许态度。
奎克心想,看来这位往日威名赫赫的立国公爵,眼下失去了封地和骑士团之后,看上去心气似乎没了大半。
甲板上蹬蹬蹬地跑下来一名负责警戒瞭望的士兵,“头儿,东面河上又来了一支船队!”
东面?拉尔夫公爵放下酒杯站起身来,追问道:“看清楚了吗?战船还是商船?有没有挂帆?”
Quick took the lookout glass handed over by his subordinates, walked onto the deck and raised his hand to look. The mist on the Ralph River in summer was simmering. Although it was a long distance away, he could faintly see the other party's ship was standing high.高的桅杆,三面船帆迎风鼓起。
Three-masted sailboat! Either it is the Grand Chamber of Commerce in Orland, or it must be the royal caravan of the central countries!
"His Excellency the Duke said that the ship our enemy was riding on was a strange sailing-free ship." Quak rubbed his hands with a smile and ordered his subordinates, "Go down and tell the Duke that it is not an enemy attack, but a passing country. Just a merchant fleet.”
This is a big fat sheep!
"Boss! Why did they suddenly stop?" the trusted deputy suddenly spoke in confusion.
Quick quickly raised his sightseeing glass and looked at it again, and found that the fleet suddenly slowed down less than three miles from the estuary, and stopped the ship in the middle of the river in a daze. Then the leading ship slowly rushed across... It seemed that he wanted to Rely on inertia to turn around.
"No! Did they find us?" Quak slapped his thighs, anxious and angry, "We have only been here for two days. Have they heard the news?"
The deputy thought for a moment and guessed, "Can the leader of the merchant fleet in Maple Leaf City leaked the news yesterday? These caravans have always had close relationships, and they all used carrier pigeons to convey emergency news."
Damn! It must be like this! The fat sheep that reaches its mouth cannot let it run away!
Quick raised his hand and waved his hand and ordered loudly, "Notify everyone! Set sail and paddle! We chased after them and snatched them from the side and stopped the caravan directly!"
The speed of the three-masted sailboat is comparable to that of the turtle. The Royal City Guard's double-masted shuttle warships can be several times faster than their speed. As long as the drum sails are paddling for a moment, they can stop the other side.
The captain of the guard personally ordered that the six brigged warships guarding the river entrance were moving one after another, and no one was willing to stay where they were, for fear that they would not get any oil or water. For a moment, they were chasing each other on the river. stand up.
As the briggs gradually approached, the huge three-masted sailboat that had been completely crossed in the middle of the river ahead became clear. Quick frowned and opened his mouth wide, "God, what the hell is this?"
The other party's hull is smooth and black, with a faint metallic color. The bow of the hull is as sharp as a shuttle and a huge wedge-shaped collision angle. The entire hull is more than half of its draw. Just looking at it, you can imagine that this strange iron ship has How heavy.
The mast on the deck that was so simple that even tung oil was not brushed and the sail tarpaulin that looked obviously inconsistent with the common sense, in Quick's eyes, seemed incompatible with the iron ship itself.
This is definitely not an ordinary merchant ship!
A few dull roars like rolling thunder suddenly came from his ears, and then everyone heard the crackling sound of the hull being broken and broken. A head-on shuttle warship was slapped by invisible huge waves, and the entire ship was He turned his body over and the soldiers on the deck were thrown into the water under the violent impact.
"It's the enemy! It's the enemy from Fengyuan City!" Duke Ralph, who fell behind the fleet, finally came to his senses and recognized the ironclad ship disguised as a sailing ship. He shouted to Quick, who was on the other ship, "There are terrible magic weapons on their iron ship. Follow me and turn back to the river mouth, blow up the river section and evacuate!"
Fortunately, the warship where Quick was was not attacked. He swallowed his saliva and looked at the other warships that were crowded together because of the hurry to turn around. He gritted his teeth and ordered: "These idiots have directly blocked the way back. There is no time to turn around. Let's dock!"
It is rumored that this wizard lord from the North has many powerful and terrible magic weapons in his hands. It is definitely a dead end to fight with them rashly. However, the opponent's target must be Duke Ralph, who is more powerful. The iron ship will definitely chase the Duke to the river mouth to prevent them from blowing up the river.
If you don't escape now, you will have no chance later!
There is no mistake in the first post. Take a look at the book forum on 6-9!
Quick pushed away his panicked trusted assistant and ran to the stern to steer the ship. He shouted at the top of his lungs: "Paddle hard! Go to the shore! Go straight to the beach and don't worry about whether it hits the reef!"
The soldiers on the deck were in chaos, but many of them returned to the lower cabin, picked up the oars and slid hard. Quick looked behind him in panic and saw the two warships that had just been hit hard. A huge hole appeared in the middle of the hull, hitting the waterline. The cold river water was rushing into the cabin frantically. The soldiers rowing in the cabin were undoubtedly the most unlucky. They didn't know what weapon attacked them from the enemy ship hundreds of meters away. After breaking the hull, it exploded inside the warship. Sticky blood and broken internal organs of the dead were almost everywhere, dyeing the river water around the warship bright red.
The people on the deck were also in a bad situation. If they were thrown into the water, they had a chance to swim to the shore to escape, but if they were broken and collapsed and pressed down on people who could not move, they could only be buried with the rapidly sinking warship.
The screams of the injured and the shouts of those who fell into the water mixed together, and a red light flashed from time to time at the bow and stern of the opposite iron ship, followed by a burst of thunder. The warships crowded together in the middle of the river were constantly hit, and several warships that were already carrying a large amount of kerosene and dragon flame powder even exploded directly from the middle, and then ignited a raging flame.
When the last roar came, Quick watched with cold hands and feet... The warship where Duke Ralph was originally escaping the fastest was hit right at the stern, and even the huge rudder was blown into the air.
