This sea lord is a bit strong

Chapter 277 Battle Damage, Interrogation

Most of the nearly [-] Bath Kingdom soldiers who besieged and attacked Feiguang City were killed or injured in less than two days, and only a few survived.

In other words, seventy to eighty percent of the soldiers were lost in just two or three hours.

Except for [-]% of which was lost in the fierce siege battle in the early stage, the rest of the damage was directly and indirectly caused by the crown of the ocean.

Some of them were blown to pieces by the backwater Destroyer artillery, or even though they were not directly hit by the blast, their internal organs were shattered by the shock wave, or they were thrown more than ten meters into the ground and turned into a mess. Mosaic of names.

In addition, more than [-]% of the soldiers died in the three huge waves during the retreat. Under Ji Chen's exquisite control, the huge waves overturned hundreds of landing craft and disappeared in front of the tidal flat. Guangcheng didn't touch the city wall at all, and naturally there was no phenomenon of beating friendly troops.

After all the injuries, less than [-] soldiers survived.

Part of the crew of the Eighth Fleet who chose to surrender, and part of the air force, they returned to try to rescue the fleet after seeing the fleet being raided, but they were driven away by long-range attack units such as the Dragon Horn Catfish and Water Fairy Archer of the Ocean Crown. Several centuries later reluctantly withdrew.

The last part is some soldiers who did not have time to board the ship and escape, but survived the huge waves.

However, these soldiers had already lost the will to continue fighting. Most of them chose to disarm and surrender, while a small number of them fled into the mountains and jungles in a panic and fled towards the border.

The defense of the city, which lasted for several days, came to an end quietly when the last enemy air force disappeared into the northwest skyline.

This time, not only did the Kingdom of Bath not quickly take down Feiguang City, an important seaside city, and lost nearly 30 troops, but even the more than [-] steel ships of the Eighth Fleet were captured almost intact. Added the strength and firepower of an entire fleet to the enemy.

It is estimated that Russell, the commander-in-chief of this war, will be so angry that his nose will be crooked when he hears the news.

[-] hit [-] were counter-killed, and an entire fleet was lost, will you play?

In any case, this time can be regarded as the biggest loss of the Kingdom of Bath since the beginning of the war, and it is enough to affect the overall strategy and situation of the entire war.

Nearly [-] soldiers may not be the entire army of the Kingdom of Bath today, but it is also a front army that occupies an extremely important position in this war.

In addition to the simple loss of troops, it is more to declare the failure of their blitzkrieg. They did not capture Feiguang City quickly, allowing Terings City to have time to react, so how difficult it is to capture this city That's all.

It is conceivable that in the short term, the Kingdom of Bath will no longer set its mind on this city.

At least Fei Guangcheng, who was already bruised and bruised, had some time to breathe.

And the instigator of all this, Ji Chen, was slowly boarding the land while the soldiers in Feiguang City watched in awe and gratitude.

A series of emotions such as awe, reverence, and admiration flashed across their faces.

Many soldiers actually saw this man unleash the giant wave that looked like a natural disaster, drowning all the enemies.

In their impression, it seems that only gods can control such power, right?
Perhaps it was because of this god-like respect that the soldiers did not dare to approach at all, but just watched with eyes full of awe, letting Ji Chen, who walked onto the beach with his hands behind his back, feel a little embarrassed as he waited for them to cheer and greet him.

No, why are you all standing there watching?But come and greet me?
Just as Ji Chen was thinking about what to say as an opening remark, an aborigine walked towards him quickly.

The leader was dressed in a military uniform and looked very imposing, probably some kind of aboriginal nobleman.

The man walked up to Ji Chen with awe-inspiring expression.

"Dear strong man, I am the Lord of Feiguang City, Xi Fansai."

"Thank you for lending us a helping hand in a critical moment, defeating those hateful invaders and allowing countless people to survive.

"On behalf of the soldiers and civilians in Feiguang City, I would like to express my highest respect to you. We will definitely keep this kindness in our hearts."

Ji Chen nodded,

"Hi, my name is Ji Chen, the lord of the Ocean Crown, I came from the ocean."

Crown of the Ocean?

Xi Fansai's heart moved, he seemed to have heard of this name before...

Oh, by the way, a batch of weapons and equipment were shipped in a while ago, and they seem to have come from a territory called the Crown of the Ocean.

"Your Excellency Ji Chen, may I ask, does your territory produce weapons and equipment?"

Ji Chen was stunned, "That's right, Ocean Crown does produce weapons and equipment, but they are mainly sold to the Fenglin Principality."

"That's right." Xi Fansai smiled and said, "Before the war broke out, a businessman named Gilder came here and sold a batch of weapons and equipment to Feiguang City. It's from you."

Good guy, Gilder actually sold all the weapons and equipment of the Ocean Crown to Feiguang City, which is thousands of miles away from the Fenglin Principality. He is really worthy of a businessman.

"How about our weapons and equipment?"

"It's very good. Many soldiers said that it's quite comfortable to use, and the quality is also very good." Xi Fansai looked around, "But this is not a place to talk, if possible, why don't we go to the city and talk about it? "

Ji Chen nodded slightly and agreed to the proposal.

Just about to step out of the part, as if remembering something, he turned around and gestured to Khalifa who was being carried by Gerardo behind him.

"I heard from those fleet prisoners that this person is their fleet commander and the commander of this attack on Feiguang City. Maybe it will be of some use to you."

Khalifa, who had been trying to reduce his sense of presence, trembled suddenly, but managed to maintain his composure. He also knew his identity. As a nobleman and senior military officer, he had some value, so he would not be executed immediately.

However, if it falls into the hands of the enemy, it is estimated that it will suffer some crimes.

"Your Excellency Ji Chen, I have a question in my heart. Why did you take the initiative to help us? After all, you are a glorious lord, and you are not a natural enemy with the Kingdom of Bath."

Feiguang City.

In a luxurious building in the center of the city.

Ji Chen smiled slightly, "This is thanks to your Royal Highness Monica."

Xi Fansai was stunned, and said in surprise.

"Your Excellency, do you know His Highness?"

Ji Chen smiled, and briefly talked about his acquaintance with Monica before.

After listening, Xi Fansai suddenly realized, and was even more delighted at the moment.

In this way, they have a natural close relationship with Ji Chen, at least from the current point of view, they can be regarded as allies.

The other soldiers may not be fully aware of what happened, but he, who has been observing the overall situation of the battlefield, has seen the performance of Ji Chen and the Haizu army before and after.

After the Sea Tribe army raided the enemy's Eighth Fleet underwater and seized control of the deck with lightning speed, they decisively used the alchemy cannon that destroyed the city wall of Feiguang City to clean up the gap in the city wall. soldiers of the Kingdom of Bath, allowing them to regain control of the city walls.

Immediately afterwards, when the enemy was evacuating by boat in a panic, he drove huge waves with his own power and submerged it. The retreating enemy army was not one out of ten, and the nearly [-] troops attacking Feiguang City collapsed completely. Only the air force and A few soldiers survived and fled.

If such a strong person can join the principality, it will definitely be a great help.

Just relying on this sea army that is completely subordinate to it, it has a stronger combat power than ordinary troops in the ocean, which is enough to reverse the disadvantage of the Principality in the ocean. The captured Eighth Fleet of the Kingdom of Bath is the best evidence .

"However, you are willing to come from thousands of miles to help the Principality resist the attack of the Kingdom of Bath, which is a commendable thing."

"I believe Her Royal Highness Monica will be very happy for your arrival after knowing about it."

Sievers said very enthusiastically.

Ji Chen smiled, not surprised by his respect and enthusiasm for Xi Fansai.

In this world, strength is the best passport.

Not to mention being treated warmly like this, a country even treats the strong as guests of honor, offering delicious food and drink.

"Your Excellency Sivansa, you know that behind this war, there is actually an organization called the Fraudster secretly helping the Kingdom of Bath, including but not limited to supporting a large number of weapons and equipment, war equipment, and even providing the alchemy cannon. "

"Damn it! Let me tell you why the quality of weapons and equipment in the Kingdom of Bath is so much higher, and the number of war equipment has increased so much, causing us to suffer heavy losses!"

Xi Fansai gritted his teeth authentically, but then his face was a bit puzzled, "But I remember that we didn't seem to provoke them. I only heard that they were active in the middle of the northern continent before. Why are they mixed with the Kingdom of Bath now?"

Ji Chen shook his head, "I also want to clarify this issue. In fact, I have dealt with them in Fenglin Principality before."

"To put it simply, they are a group of paranoids who hate anything related to the gods. Since the fraudsters are mixed with the Kingdom of Bath, there must be something that they care about, otherwise they would not be able to spend so much energy to help the Kingdom of Bath. The Kingdom of Sri Lanka launched a war."

"In other words, there is something in the Principality of Reinhardt that they want."

Ji Chen looked at Xi Fansai and smiled lightly, "Maybe we can ask that prisoner named Khalifa. After all, he is the commander of the fleet, so he must know something."

At his suggestion, Khalifa was brought over with a calm expression on his face.

"I won't say anything, don't try to challenge my loyalty to His Majesty and the Kingdom."

"It doesn't matter, I originally planned to let you say it with your mouth." Ji Chen said indifferently, came to him, and whispered: "I have a lot of ways to get what I want in your head. "

"Did you know that there is a mysterious race in the ocean that is good at manipulating the mind. They can forcefully invade the brain without any effort, and check the memory like flipping through the information."

"However, this kind of forced intrusion will have a moderate sequelae, that is, there will be a high probability of becoming an idiot or mentally abnormal."

Khalifa's throat rolled, and he realized from Ji Chen's eyes that these words did not seem to be false.

But he still glared stubbornly, "Don't try to deceive me with these words, I'm not easy to deceive!"

Ji Chen expressionlessly clapped his hands lightly.

Alice walked over, and the sapphire eyes under the mask looked directly at Khalifa, making him feel a little flustered suddenly.

Then, he suddenly heard a strange singing sound coming from his ear, pouring into his ear like water, and there was a sharp pain in his head like a tearing flesh.

"Wait, I said I said!!"

When the singing stopped, Khalifa gave Alice a pale look, eyes full of fear.

Damn it, it turned out to be true!
He really felt a force entering from his ears just now, trying to drill into his brain.

He is a nobleman of the Kingdom of Bath!Noble status, how can you be turned into an idiot here! ?

As long as you can go back alive, you can promise anything.

Khalifa looked at Ji Chen as if looking at a demon, his throat was a little dry, "What do you want to ask?"

"Why did the fraudsters suddenly mix with your Bath Kingdom? What role did they play in this war?"

Ji Chen asked in a deep voice.

"Those fraudsters" Khalifa was silent for a moment, "It started a long time ago. On a certain day two years ago, when His Majesty was in court, a man with a golden mask suddenly appeared beside him, calling him "

Khalifa had nothing to hide, and in order to save his own head, he told everything he knew about the Trickster.

Regarding their sudden appearance, they gained the trust of His Majesty very quickly, amazing alchemy technology, supporting a large number of weapons and equipment and ordnance, and terrifying intelligence capabilities
The more Ji Chen listened, the more surprised he became.

The scheme of the fraud master may be bigger than he imagined.

"These are all I know, and you may have to ask His Majesty to find out more." Khalifa carefully looked at Ji Chen who was in deep thought, for fear of being forced to open his head if he didn't tell all the information.

"You mean, the fraud master planned to attack the Principality of Reinhardt two years ago?"

"Probably so, but at that time they only participated in the court council as advisors, and did not show any intention of launching a war."

At this point, Khalifa seems to have figured it out, the fraudster supports the Kingdom of Bath just to start a war.

Thinking of this, his expression suddenly changed.

Since the fraud master is to catalyze the war, does His Majesty know about it?

After all, His Majesty now looks much more impatient than two years ago, and even wants to go to war regardless of everything, but all this is covered up by the pervasive militarism.

Ji Chen looked at Khalifa and continued to ask: "Who is that woman with the golden mask with you? What is her identity among the fraudsters?"

"She is a Holy Envoy, that's what those low-level fraudsters are called. His Majesty appointed her to be my helper, and also sent the Destroyer Cannon and two supporting shells, which have now been fired. "

"As for the rest, I don't know."
