Starting from the pirates, pushing the world

Chapter 777 Changes in the Nature of War!
On the coastal area about 300 kilometers west of Tristan Kingdom.

Shocking roars and killing sounds filled the air, and continuous artillery fire and magic bombing sounded one after another.

Looking down from above.

You can see two huge and mighty magical armies fighting fiercely on the vast land and the vast sky with the vast ocean as the background.

It's just that the fighting styles of the two sides are quite different.

In the army to the south, most of the soldiers were in heavy armor and held swords, charging bravely.

As for the army in the north, a lightly armored soldier held a strangely shaped long-handled musket in his hand, and kept firing towards the outside with the help of the wall made by earth magic.

On their left and right sides, there are also shield soldiers raising their shields above their heads to block the arrows thrown from the sky for them.

And in the rear is a magician holding a long staff, ready to defend against incoming magic fireballs or shells.

Then there are as many as two hundred cannon arrays behind.

With the deafening sound of firing, raging flames spewed out continuously, tilting the barrage all over the sky towards the large-scale attacking enemy troops.

Whenever the shell hits the ground, there is billowing smoke and blood spattering.

on the overall scene.

If you ignore the magic warships and dragon knights in the sky.

It doesn't look like two armies from the magical world are fighting, but rather like the cold weapon army in ancient times and the hot weapon army in the 'World War I' period.

Instead, the magic element became a supporting role on the battlefield.

This is the main battlefield between Galia and Albion, the two great powers!
The former is the so-called 'cold weapon army', and the latter is the 'hot weapon army', but this does not mean that the former has no hot weapons.

In fact, they also have cannons, but the number is only forty or fifty, compared to the two hundred or so on Albion's side, it can only be said to be pitifully small.

However, the number of cannons in the Gallia Kingdom is considered normal in this world.

After all, this thing is very cumbersome, and it also needs the supply of shells, and its power is only comparable to that of the 'Ball of Fire', so it is not as good as a 'Line-level (Line)' magician in general.

But artillery does not require mental power, and there is no process of chanting, so each kingdom will prepare some assistants as magicians.

This is also what surprised the senior generals on Gallia's side.

The Albion Kingdom actually produced so many cannons, and the number of magic warships on the other side also exceeded the norm.

But the most shocking, even frightening place.

Naturally, it was the long-handled muskets equipped by the opponent's soldiers in large numbers. The shooting distance, speed, accuracy, and power of those muskets far exceeded the firecrackers they knew.

Our own infantry corps, although brave and fearless.

But under the rain of bullets, they continued to fall down row by row, dying meaninglessly on the way to the charge.

This made the generals flustered.

It's not to pity the civilian soldiers who died, but to see the great threat this long-handled musket poses to them magicians.

If such muskets flooded.

Then the civilians can form an army to confront the magician head-on.

"They must die! The Kingdom of Albion must be destroyed!"

Marshal Evigne of the Gallia Kingdom, although his hair is already a little gray, but his resolute face and fear and disgust of muskets make him look very scary.

This is a staid defender of the aristocracy.

"That's right, it's impossible for the Welsh king to be unaware of the consequences of these muskets, but he still made them, and made them in large quantities. This is a betrayal of the nobles!"

"Kill him! Destroy all muskets and blueprints, and all craftsmen who participated in the manufacture must die!"

The surrounding generals, big and small, also had expressions of shock and anger.

The previous war was over the marriage of Welsh and Anrietta, which violated the rules of nobility.

So even if the Kingdom of Albion and the Kingdom of Tristein were defeated in the end, they would not harm their lives, at most they would force them to separate.

But now the nature of the war has changed.

It has completely turned to the battle to protect its own class, and the cruelty of class struggle is no small matter.

This made the battle escalate rapidly.

Gallia's offensive became stronger at a speed visible to the naked eye, and many generals who mastered superb swordsmanship and magic also began to ride dragons into battle.

Among these flying dragons, besides the common fire dragons, there are also green wind dragons and light blue water dragons.

Moreover, not only are they physically stronger than those dragon knights, but they are also covered with one-piece armor made of fine steel.

This is the background of the great nobles!

really.

Their participation in the war caused a certain amount of suppression on Albion's magic fleet.

As I said before, because the Kingdom of Albion lost most of the dragon knights, the main combat forces in the air were concentrated on the magic warships.

The combat capability of the magic warship, in addition to being able to fly at high altitudes, also includes the ten cannons on both sides of the hull and the magicians and musketeers on the deck.

The artillery is responsible for bombing the ground, while the musket is responsible for preventing the dragon knights from approaching, and the magician takes care of both.

This configuration indeed caused great trouble to Gallia's Dragon Knight Legion.

Because they don't have very thick armor, it is difficult to defend against bullets.

However, compared to dragon knights who are good at fire attributes, dragon knights who are good at water and wind are slightly better.

They can wrap themselves in a water or wind cover.

Just doing this will also make them lose the ability to release offensive magic. After all, this is not an online game world, and there is no setting that their own offensive magic can pass through defensive magic.

Unless their magic can reach the level of releasing attack magic in the outer space of defensive magic.

But not to mention the 'Line' level, even a 'Triangle' level magician can't do this kind of thing, maybe a 'Square' level magician can do it?
Not many people have seen a 'Square' class magician anyway.

And these generals who came from great aristocrats, because they were covered with fine steel armor, ordinary musket bullets would only spark a little sparks when they hit them.

In addition, everyone is a 'Tiangle/triangle' level magician, which can completely suppress those 'Line/line' level magicians on the deck.

This allows them to easily destroy one magic warship after another.

The method is very simple.

As long as the powerful magic is used to break through the hull where the 'wind stone' is located, then the magic warship loses its energy core and will naturally fall down.

However, the overall advantage of the war is still on Albion's side.

Because the heroic soldiers of the Kingdom of Galia couldn't break through the firepower network formed by a large number of muskets, and the rain of bullets that hit their faces could easily penetrate their armor and shields.

For a while, there were screams amidst the dense gunfire.

The vast plain has long been littered with corpses, and the ground is gradually stained with a layer of blood red.

Although Marshal Evigne was angry about this situation, he could do nothing.

Until he received Sheffield's order to suspend the offensive, and then saw the five behemoths brought by the other party himself.

"Let's all stand back, it's time for these 'Yurm Gunter' performances~"

The coquettish Sheffield stood on the shoulders of a 'steel giant' in the center, looking down at Marshal Evigne with a cold and haughty face as he gave orders.

"Yurm Gunter?!"

Everyone around looked at the five steel giants with a height of more than 20 meters and holding a pitch-black giant sword in shock.

The pair of crimson blobs in their armor were eerie.
