start an archangel

Chapter 42 Come out, skeleton soldiers!
Three two-masted warships bearing the flag of the Chongming Fleet had already appeared within the sight of the pirate ships, and the watchman at the top of the mast signaled to the pirate fleet, demanding that the pirates leave the sea area immediately.But the pirates ignored the elves' repeated warnings and kept sailing to Feichen Island.

The pirate ship moved very slowly on the sea. They opened the cannons on the side of the ship, and the cannons were pushed out one by one.

The fighting posture of the pirates prevented the three two-masted warships from approaching too much. Against one two-masted warship and one three-masted merchant ship, Feichen Island's fleet did not have an absolute advantage.Anyway, once the pirate fleet enters the range of the artillery, it will be hit by the artillery positions on the island. When they attack from both sides, they can naturally win the victory with a slight loss.

The atmosphere of battle enveloped the entire sea surface, but the pirate fleet still maintained an extremely low speed until the sun was approaching noon, and the two pirate ships had not yet entered the range of the island's artillery.

The centaurs and dwarves who have been waiting in full force since the early morning are already very tired. Seeing that the pirate ship will not approach for a while, the defenders rest in place to recover their strength. They will have the strength to fight when the battle officially begins. .

Time passed by little by little, and the pirate fleet did not increase its speed.

This strange appearance aroused the doubts of the elf hero. He was riding a silver pegasus above the island. He had already known about the pirates' invasion, but the strange behavior of the pirates at this time aroused his vigilance. .

This is definitely not an ordinary pirate. Ordinary pirates have already run away when they see the ships of the Chongming Fleet. These two ships are obviously related to the human hero and the Archangel who attacked the island a few days ago, and also related to the Pudong Fleet. .These pirates drove the ship so slowly to attract our attention to the beach, and the real main attacking troops should attack from the side or rear of the island.However, the island is surrounded by mountains and there is no way to land, so the attacking force should be griffins from the sky.

The elf hero who thought he had guessed the enemy's attack route immediately ordered his Pegasus Knight troops to take off and search the airspace on both sides and rear of the island for the enemy, and at the same time ordered the elf archer troops to move to the mountain around the island to attack the griffin force.

Da Liang stood on the bridge of the Black Fire, looked at the Black Fire pirate flag above his head, and looked at the Feichen Island in front of him.The appearance of Feichen Island was clearly displayed in front of his eyes, and in front of him was a sandy beach about 100 meters wide.At the border between the beach and the woods, you can see the log and earth stone positions and the artillery behind the positions.

It is not an easy task to destroy the artillery inside under such a solid defense.In fact, in Sidney's explanation, if the Blackfire Fleet attacked with only two ships, the artillery on the island would be enough to sink them all here without the support of three brigantine battleships.

Centaurs (the dwarves are too short) can be seen behind the artillery emplacement, the number cannot be determined due to the occlusion of the trees.However, these centaurs were obviously in a state of rest, their formations were scattered, and their weapons were put aside.

It seems that the tired soldier's strategy is working...

Da Liang was still observing the situation on the island, when suddenly Da Liang's Pegasus Knight and Silver Pegasus Knight flew up from the island, they didn't fly towards the beach, but flew towards the open sea in other directions.There are about 40 of these knights, mainly 30 Pegasus knights, and 10 silver Pegasus knights are in charge of commanding.

The strategy of mobilizing the enemy also worked...

The last time he entered the island, all the people who fought against Julian were the silver Pegasus knights. The appearance of a large number of Pegasus knights now means that the defenders on the island have not only been supplemented, but also strengthened.Of course, the enemy's increase in troops is also expected. Now these air units are gradually disappearing in the distant sky. When the battle starts in a while, the air threat to the Black Fire Army's army will be much smaller.

"All combat units have entered their positions, and I order... to start attacking!"

After Da Liang's order was issued, the Black Fire Fleet still maintained a slow speed.

"Look...what's on the sea?"

A centaur responsible for monitoring the pirate ship in the distant sea suddenly found some strange things floating on the sea surface, white and round like a white fish belly.There are a lot of these strange things, densely packed on the sea surface and floating towards the beach.

The strange phenomenon in the sea has attracted more people's attention, but the defenders still regard these as sea fish that migrate collectively in the sea at this time, which did not arouse their vigilance enough until...

Until the frontmost round white thing rises to reveal two holes under the Tianling Cap.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! It's the undead... We are attacked by the undead!"

While the defenders were yelling and panicking to organize the defensive line, the vanguard of the skeleton soldiers emerging from the sea had already set foot on the beach.

"Crack, click."

The dense queue made the skeleton soldiers collide non-stop, making a sound of breaking dry noodles. They shook the bone swords in their hands and charged forward together. As more and more skeleton soldiers came out of the sea, a short time Time fills up the entire beach.

"Fire! Fire!"

The centaurs formed a formation while urging the dwarves to attack the approaching skeleton soldiers with artillery.The attack was too sudden, and they needed a little time to organize the originally scattered formation.

"Boom boom boom..."

The artillery that had finished loading their ammunition a long time ago let out a collective roar, and ten solid iron pellets shot out, and then rushed over the skeleton soldier's head.

Since the artillery in the position was originally intended to attack pirate ships in the sea, they were filled with solid iron balls for attacking ship armor, rather than grape bullets for attacking low-level skirmishers.In addition, these artillery were originally aimed at the distant sea at a high elevation angle. Facing the skeleton soldiers who had rushed close, it was too late to readjust the firing angle.

A round of artillery salvo shook the sky, but it did not cause substantial damage to the charging skeleton soldiers. It was too late to reload.

"Archer, where is Elf Archer?"

The artillery has lost its effect, and the centaurs and dwarves can only hope that their elf archers can suppress the skeleton soldiers remotely.But they immediately discovered that the elf archers who were supposed to be behind them no longer knew where they had gone?
They were transferred to the surrounding hills around the island.

The centaur and the dwarves remembered the order given by the commander just now, and the archers had been sent to guard against the "griffins" attacking from the sides and rear.

Damn it!It is up to us to deal with these cursed creatures.Let's fight!Centaurs, fight!dwarves.Let's drive these skeleton soldiers into the sea, victory belongs to the elves, and belongs to Chongming City!
The morale of the centaurs and dwarves who lost their long-range support was not affected. They held up their weapons and launched a countercharge against the skeleton soldiers.In front of them are only first-level soldiers of the undead tribe, and they are a mixed army composed of first-, second-, third-, and fourth-level soldiers. How could they be scared back by the first-level soldiers?
