Chapter 312 Chaos
Chapter 312 Chaos
Blue Thames.
The dense artillery firepower was particularly terrifying, with smoke filling the air for more than ten miles. The main guns of the three cruisers fired up pillars of fire. Because of Earl Baifan's sneak attack, the captain of the Royal Capital Regiment was seriously injured immediately because he had no time to dodge or resist.
Under this saturation attack, all the top knights wisely chose to suppress their true forms.
At the gate of the royal capital, two thousand construct knights from the former Knights of Chaos appeared in line, and two silver wizards from the Deyok family showed up. Because the Duke kept his young son Browne with him for a long time during his lifetime, a large number of people who were loyal to the Duke turned against him.
D'York II looked at the crowd that blocked his retreat, his expression ferocious and his teeth gnashed. The Sword-wielding Elder was in charge of watching over the Knights, but he allowed so many Constructed Knights to appear here. Was it intentional or accidental? It was more likely that they were intentional or careless, and then said that it was due to lack of ability afterwards. They were simply traitors.
"Everyone, I give this order as the king. Attack the fleet!"
Just as he finished speaking, a royal elder decided to surrender. He was originally from the Red Rose family and had no obligation to fight to the death for the White Rose. After he stopped, the artillery obviously avoided the surrounding area.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the Count of Tuanluan who was guarding the Second Emperor immediately increased the reward.
"For the merit in suppressing the rebellion, the first merit shall be awarded to the native dukedom!"
The Second King raised his head in anger. Three colonial duchies were enough to make the Noble Alliance break their heads. A native duchie was unimaginably precious. Most of the top knights did not have such a huge foundation to support family inheritance.
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
"Your Majesty, the defeated lose everything."
"But……"
"Don't say but." Count Fanluan interrupted coldly.
The Second was stunned, as if the other party had revealed their true colors. These guys were only loyal and reverent to the royal power. As for himself, he was not even in the eyes of the great knights.
A complete chaos broke out.
Red Rose and Captain Storm looked at each other, and together they rushed to the river surface and attacked the Golden Dreadnought. Faced with a native duchy, no one could remain calm. In fact, even Modres did not have a native duchy directly under his jurisdiction.
Land means resources, which can support the Knights Templar, collect materials to improve combat effectiveness, reproduce offspring and cultivate talents, and eventually evolve into power and strength that can be inherited.
The royal senator who had surrendered earlier did not care about his face at all, and ran to the river with another senator, heading towards the two cruisers.
The two Counts of Chaos guarded the Second, bypassed the front battlefield where the firepower was the heaviest, and began to wait for opportunities to attack the destroyers and frigates.
"Go and regret it!"
The captain of the royal capital laughed and slashed with his sword. The true shape of a castle emerged behind him. The violent impact force dispersed the smoke around him. He was not worried that the second king would break his promise. There were so many strong people of the same level, enough to turn to support others and thus depose the king.
"You forget your principles when you see profit. You simply cannot understand our loyalty."
Count White Sail unfolded the true form of the white sail, which was like a soft but tough sail shield, blocking the sharp sword. The castle was attacked head-on, but it seemed to lose all its strength when encountering the white long sail.
The two sides became angry and started fighting in close combat.
……
Rumble!
The artillery bombardment continued without stopping.
On the Thames, two frigates broke apart and sank at the same time.
Suddenly, the Golden Dreadnought opened fire, and the extreme speed of the artillery fire hit the Storm Captain who jumped out of the water, directly shattering his true form and arm, seriously injuring him.
Jiang He ran wildly on the water, Si Ning entered stealth mode and waited for an opportunity. The destroyer on the side adjusted its direction and fired dozens of shells, destroying the surrounding water.
Wow!
Jiang He glided on the fluctuating water surface. The passive power of his Tyrant Blood Body made it as if he were walking on flat ground. He was in full condition and burst out with an excellent speed that was unrivaled among peers. He jumped directly onto the White Rose, a second-class destroyer.
Bang bang bang!
The sailor group fired white gunpowder bullets in unison. The temporary captain was an ordinary knight who drew his sword without fear. The Northern Fleet was the underlying force of the chaotic corridor. These people thought they were fighting for the Duke.
Jiang He took out the Black Rose Flintlock.
Filled with three energies of blood poison, withering and corrosion, and blended with the ever-burning embers of the eternal fire, a four-color energy bomb was created.
Bang!
Four colors of light burst out: bright red, pale gray, dark green, and pitch black.
Unreal black roses bloomed at the muzzle of the gun.
The bullet instantly hit the temporary captain. The special effects of the black rose wiped out his soul, and the four-color light destroyed his body. After one shot, no trace of him was left.
White gunpowder bullets hit Jiang He's body but failed to cause any damage. The black flame combined with the chemical energy, and as he pushed hard with both hands, a black wind swept across the entire ship.
The unquenchable flames spread rapidly, and the soldiers jumped into the water wrapped in black fire but to no avail. Three black winds, thousands of energy points were wasted, and the burning embers completely enveloped the White Rose.
The sounds of rocks and iron breaking came one after another.
In just a few minutes, the main frame of the White Rose collapsed and half of it sank into the water.
Jiang He stood beside the mast and looked at the flagship. Red Rose and Captain Storm were besieging Earl Rock. With the cooperation of the ship's soldiers and the deputy captain, the two sides were temporarily in a stalemate.
From an objective point of view, the Black Marquis' plan is obviously more suitable for dealing with the Northern Fleet. Putting all combat forces into decapitation will not only improve efficiency, but also enable mutual supervision among the actors. At the very least, the probability of rebellion and surrender to the enemy will be greatly reduced.
“Politics can sometimes make people lose their minds.”
Jiang He still had the leisure to pay attention to the battlefield. His mission had been completed. If he didn't know the threat posed by the Black Marquis to the royal power, then the Second Emperor's temporary modification of the plan would undoubtedly seem stupid and incomprehensible.
Suddenly, Jiang He's eyes narrowed slightly.
Boom!
On the river, a third-class destroyer exploded on the spot, water waves spread in all directions, flames surged, violent shock waves stirred the river water, and strong winds howled.
In the blinding firelight, Count Fanluan, who had spoken coldly earlier, threw D'York II out and was caught by another count, but he himself lost the chance to retreat. The explosion destroyed his true form and completely engulfed him.
A great knight of the highest rank fell.
Count Rock learned from the experience of the super explosion in the royal capital and hid barrels of white gunpowder on the destroyer. He successfully killed a powerful enemy at the cost of self-detonating the warship and sacrificing more than 800 soldiers.
The battlefield seemed to be plunged into deathly silence.
De York II, who luckily survived, had a dazed look on his face.
All top combat forces quietly raised their vigilance.
But the next moment, the main gun of the Golden Dreadnought roared.
This time, what burst out of the muzzle was not a cannonball, but a terrifying beam of light filled with a sharp aura.
The terrifying power destroyed the main gun the moment it was released, and then opened up a straight passage, like a giant white sword across the river. This special artillery fire hit the captain of the royal capital on the shore in the blink of an eye.
A shell from a battleship's main gun was not enough to kill a great knight instantly, but this beam of light had the same terrifying power as a sword drawn by a titled knight himself. Boom!
Most of the captain's body disappeared, and his true form collapsed.
Count Baifan on the opposite side laughed loudly, and immediately drew his sword to cut off the head of the dead enemy for the Duke.
The second great knight fell.
On the Golden Dreadnought.
Red Rose and Captain Storm have forced Earl Rock into a corner, but their faces are extremely ugly. The beam of light just now was very similar to the aura of Duke D'York.
Wizards can unleash even greater power in the Wizard Tower, and can even challenge those with higher life levels than themselves, and one of the keys to this is the [Energy Pool] equipment.
The energy pool can store the energy accumulated by wizards in their daily lives. Although the usual dissipation and loss is inevitable, it can still accumulate over time.
In the entire Stuart Kingdom, there are only two families that are qualified and have the resources to build a complete wizard tower - the Red Rose Family and the White Rose Family, because the value of the materials for the energy pool alone exceeds tens of millions of gold coins.
It was obvious that before the chaotic army started the battle, Duke D'York had already planned to go all out. He personally stored up enough energy and created a title attack. Although it was not worth using it to kill the great knight, it played an obvious role at this moment.
The Rock Count laughed loudly: "Everyone, why don't you guess whether the Duke has other arrangements? It's just a dukedom, and Master Brownie is not a stingy person!"
"Things have changed."
"I surrendered once just now, so we might as well be straightforward."
"If it weren't for the Second Emperor's reckless command, there wouldn't be so much trouble today. I don't think he has the manners of a monarch."
"Then kill him. Everyone has to win us over anyway."
The two royal elders stopped slaughtering the soldiers on the second-class cruiser. Since they were born in the Red Rose Family, it didn't matter to them who was the king of the White Rose Family. They would waver depending on the actual situation.
The two quickly reached an agreement, left the cruiser, and headed towards De York II.
"Your Majesty, this is the general trend."
“We had no choice.”
"You are disloyal and unjust, you shall not die a hapless death!" The Second Emperor was extremely angry. Count Fanluan stood in front of him. These two guys were obviously afraid of the remaining power of the titled strongmen, and the general trend was just an excuse.
The situation that was originally advantageous quickly tilted.
Red Rose and Captain Storm were unable to defeat the Rock Count for a while. The latter's rock true form was good at defense, but that was only one aspect. Only the parties involved knew how much effort the two had put in.
The two royal elders turned against Count Chaos and Count II.
With the death of the King's Capital Captain, Count Baifan lost his grip and also charged towards the Second, intending to end this encounter.
There was continuous gunfire and fighting.
On the wreckage of the White Rose, Jiang He discovered that his combat power could completely affect the balance. He didn't care who won or lost. The more of these top combat powers died, the more say the remaining strong ones would have.
"Si Ning, change the target."
"Of course."
In front of the wreckage, two ordinary great knights from the Northern Fleet came chasing after the waves.
"Count Rhine, do you remember the Battle of Caribib?"
"Earl Rock and we are your comrades!"
"You don't need to make a choice, just wait for the result. Earl of Rock said that after the war, he will give you the title of Duke. Within ten years, the actual fiefdom will be delivered to you."
Jiang He casually caught two sword strikes with a strange expression. At this moment, he remembered that he was a comrade-in-arms. He had made the greatest contribution in the naval battle, but he became a pirate because of the Saint Lilith. He did not have a good impression of Deyok, they were just dealing with each other for profit.
……
On the Golden Dreadnought.
A huge red sword was swung out repeatedly, and its sharp true form left cracks on the solid deck, exposing the cabin and killing or injuring the gunners below.
Dangdang Dangdang!
The ten-meter-high giant rock blocked all the sword attacks, but the ubiquitous wind blades left wounds on the body surface from time to time. The Rock Lord had a hard time moving and looked at the Storm Captain angrily, as the other party was still chopping him with all his might.
"Hey, I'm not a double-faced scum."
The Storm Captain still resented the main gun's bombardment of him, and he struck with sword after sword. Even if Red Rose had no intention of killing him, the cooperation between the two of them gave them a huge advantage.
The red giant sword stopped the huge rock, and the whistling wind blade found a gap and cut half of the Rock Earl's body, causing blood to flow.
At the critical moment, a major general of the fleet blocked the second blow of the red giant sword. At the same time when he was beheaded, the Earl of Rock controlled the true giant rock and slammed into the Storm Captain who was about to pursue.
"You are nothing more than that."
The Storm Leader fell straight into the river. Seeing this, Red Rose slashed with her sword again. For her, even if she didn't intend to kill the opponent, she had to suppress him completely in order to gain more bargaining chips.
"Humph."
Earl of Rock sneered and dodged. When it comes to combat experience, these two guys can't compare with himself who was born in the Land of Chaos. When he was less than 20 years old, he and the Duke had already gone to the border of the empire and conquered several cities and returned.
puff!
A vicious sneak attack from behind interrupted the Rock Earl's thoughts. The sharp and slender noble sword pierced through the back of his neck. The ultimate withering energy was injected at all costs. A grim sword formation erupted in his body, defeating all resistance.
Inspired by the fierce power of the elite knight, Si Ning came out of stealth and cut off half of the opponent's neck with a sword. At this moment, the Rock Earl's true rock form had not yet come to help. The noble rapier's ultimate sharpness urged the sword energy to sweep through, madly destroying the life of the prey.
"Damn it, why did you kill him!"
The huge red sword attacked, and Red Rose was shocked and angry.
"You two contributed at least 70% of the effort, why are you blaming me?"
Si Ning chuckled, snatched the Rock Earl's sword and retreated again, leaving only a huge crack on the spot. With the support of the silver elite's life level, she is qualified to fight with most of the top masters, but she prefers the feeling of sneak attacks, so the assassination skills are the second most important thing for her after Hua Jianmou.
The Rock Lord fell suddenly, and when his breath dissipated, everyone on the battlefield was shocked.
On the riverside, the Count of Chaos who was guarding the Second was struggling to hold on, but the situation suddenly turned around. The Count of Rock was the leader of the Young Son's camp. Without his endorsement, the promised benefits and subsequent distribution were all nonsense.
"Good death!" The Second King's anger turned into joy, and he wanted to roar to the sky. He had finally ascended the throne, and came here to get a piece of the prestige of military merit. If it weren't for the Earl of Rock's trouble, he might have triumphed long ago.
The two royal elders looked at each other, and their positions were obviously shaken again. However, with the Second Emperor's current moody temperament, he did not seem like a qualified monarch.
"Look at the sword!" shouted the Storm Captain.
