Chapter 255 Water City Nisk and Arrangements

Rescue two survivors from the mouth of two giant white whales while passing through the Atrid Sea the tenth day after that.

“Cape Storm” arrived at Nisk Water City in the Kingdom of Taro as scheduled, and was also the final destination of their cross-border mission!

Milan’s bad luck had completely dissipated before arriving in Nisk.

This is not too serious bad luck. At the worst time of the 20-day voyage, I was hit by the heavy iron cannonball that fell, and a small bag of Golden Lion dropped. Just to the sea.

Don’t look at this guy’s lifeless look at the beginning, but if you ask him if he will use it next time, he will definitely use it again.

This kind of thing is like wearing women’s clothes, only the difference between zero and countless times

Huh? Seems like some weird metaphor has gotten in?

Cough cough, it doesn’t matter, the reason is the same.

The beautiful water city of Nisk.

Known as the “Pearl of the West Coast of the Kingdom of Taylor”, it is a very important commercial and artistic town.

Also known as “City of Water”, “City of Bridges” and “City of Light”, it is one of the most prestigious tourist cities in the Tulip Alliance.

Nisk Water City covers more than 100 islands along the coastal lagoon and two trumpet-shaped capes protruding from the sea.

At the same time, as a city at the mouth of the sea, Nisque Water City is also a land defense fortress guarding the outermost periphery of the prosperous urban agglomeration of “Leiden Valley”.

So.

Although after the high-level meeting of various countries, they all decided to send elite personnel to carry out necessary defense.

But in fact, the strength of the original garrison here is already very strong.

Consisting of a combined river and sea coastal fleet, a land infantry regiment and an elite musketeer unit, it maintains the “Leiden Valley” with the special geographical location of Nisk as the hub. “Safety in dozens of cities along the route.

In the outposts along the city of Nisk and along the “Leiden Valley”.

A total of 8 cruise ships and 23 inland river patrol ships are in service, with a total force of nearly 5,000. Recently, reinforcements have been continuously mobilized, and the total number has reached 8,000!

The arrival of “Cape Storm” was warmly received by the commander of the garrison, Major General Coverdale Durrow and his subordinates.

When they just arrived at the port, the main officer on the ship and Ambrose, the representative of the church reinforcements, were invited by the adjutant who had been waiting here to meet at the general’s mansion.

Alwin’s military rank is only lieutenant colonel, but after he went abroad, he represented the Admiralty of the Phalatis Kingdom, and he had many honors, so he was no longer a dispensable a. nobody anymore.

Immediately, he was personally received by the top local garrison commander, which is also expected.

Arrange for Gary and First Mate Borg to stay on board and let them drop off First Mate Fisher and Peeps, the bad gambler they had rescued earlier.

Alwin didn’t take seriously his no effort at all kindness, didn’t ask them where they were going, and didn’t expect their repeated promises in return.

With Milan and Ambros taking the carriage arranged by the adjutant, the entire group went to the Garrison Command.

The military and commercial ports on the Nisk side are completely separate.

The commercial port is close to the city of Shuicheng, while the military port is located on the edge of the headland on the north side, and the major general’s office is set on the headland mainly composed of rocks.

Alwin doesn’t feel that way.

But in Ambrose’s perspective, he silently compared the garrison commander with Brigadier General Buhler in Moby Dick.

At least in terms of the location of the headquarters, Major General Coverdale, who is on the front line, is much more reliable than Brigadier General Buller, who has his post in the bustling area of the city.

The entire group was led down by the lieutenant to the highest hill on the headland.

The garrison headquarters is located here, strictly speaking This is a three-story bastion built of rammed earth and solid strips of stone.

At this time, the flag of the Kingdom of Taro was flying high at the top of the bastion.

A military facility like the Bastion is not mysterious.

It is actually changing the past fortress from a convex polygon to a concave polygon.

This improvement allows the attacker to be exposed to more than one bastion surface (usually 2-3) regardless of attacking any point of the castle, and the defender can use crossfire for multiple strikes.

The same goes for this garrison bastion.

In the three-story structure, the bottom layer is solid, but there is a fort door in the front and rear, and a convex angle fort is set on each of the four corners.

In the Second Layer, there are also four convex corners, which are nested layer by layer, without any defensive dead ends.

In this era when all kinds of firearms have been popularized, the most powerful shield in land warfare!

It is said that under the advantage of 7:1 troops, it takes about 20-30 days to conquer a bastion, and each bastion is a hard bone that can make the enemy break a tooth!

If the garrison outpost in Moby Dick was such a bastion, the Brigadier General Buller simply wouldn’t have to flee.

“Everyone please!”

Follow the adjutant into the bastion.

First Layer is primarily a solid structure, with limited space for food, ammunition, and a small, impregnable prison.

Follow the narrow, dimly lit stairs to the Second Layer of the Bastion.

This is the soldier’s residence, the edge of the fort is equipped with a parapet, and behind it is a large number of gun emplacements. There Alwin saw the shiny metallic 24-pounder gun, and many busy soldiers were maintaining the gun.

Even if it is only based on the cannons seen, the number of cannons prepared in this bastion is at least thirty, which can be called strong firepower.

Obviously, this bastion is by no means a fake, it has completely entered a state of preparation for the arrival of the “Pirate King” at any time!

The Third Layer is a complete hollow fort structure, which is not much different from a thick and stable ordinary building. Walking up the stone stairs, the office of the garrison commander, Major General Coverdale Dulu, is located here. .

The adjutant knocked on the door with the entire group.

Alwin sees the office as unpretentious.

Except for the glass window with a better view, there are hardly any precious items, the floor of source stone, and the only decoration hanging on the slightly polished wall, which is a pair of contemporary Taylor Kingdom Andre VI A portrait of the world in uniform.

‘Well, it’s a really handsome guy with a marble sculpture-like face like an ancient hero!

I just don’t know if it has been beautified by the artist? ‘

Alwin commented lightly in his heart.

Seeing Alwin and his party entering the door, Major General Coverdale, who was busy behind his desk, got up and warmly welcomed the arrival of this group of reinforcements.

Although the major general in uniform is not tall, he has a very imposing manner, red’s face and golden curly hair, and his voice is like thunder:

“I represent the king Your Majesty, thank you for your support. The defense of the Kingdom of Taro! Please take a seat!”

“Your Excellency is polite, all the countries in the alliance have always advanced and retreated together.

The ‘Octopus Ghost’ Hudgens is really damn.

The provocation of tulips one after another has touched the bottom line of the kingdom and the bottom line of mankind, and he must not be allowed to continue to be rampant!”

Sitting on the somewhat hard sofa, Alwin After thanking the adjutant for the tea, he was polite to the major general, and he also routinely condemned the Pirate King Hudgens, who is now being yelled at by everyone.

Then after a few exclamations, this General Coverdale, as a typical soldier, naturally has a straight character, and quickly entered the topic.

“Captain Alwin, you should also know the current situation.

I would like to arrange for your ‘Cape Storm’ to join the offshore cruise as the first shield against sea power .

Of course, all the logistical supplies of the warship are distributed in accordance with the highest specifications, you can rest assured.”

Although it is said that Alwin is working hard to defend the front line, in fact, at this time, the senior management They all agree that the probability that Huggins will organize a sea attack again is very small.

Even if it really colludes with the “Deep Sea Brother Society” that has been very active in recent years, it can drive some sea monsters.

But the sea is the home of sea monsters. As long as they reach the land, the garrison has enough confidence to simply not be afraid of trifling “a few” sea monsters.

On the contrary, on land, the inner city along the “Leiden Valley” is the most stressful task.

So, in fact, the general didn’t make things difficult for Alwin, but just arranged it normally according to the characteristics of “The Horn of the Storm”.

It even specifically stated that even if they encounter a sea monster, the so-called frontline does not need to directly intervene in the battle, as long as the information is sent back in time.

This also shows the general’s confidence in the amount of defensive power he has on land!

“No problem, Your Excellency! I also brought the first batch of ‘sea monster song’ delivered this time, are you interested in taking a look?”

Since It’s a rescue mission, and it’s naturally impossible to come to someone else’s land because of your own temperament.

In fact, the general’s arrangement was similar to what Alwin had guessed before. With the characteristics of “Cape Storm”, it could only perform tasks on the sea.

Alwin accepted the general’s arrangement readily, not resentful that he was underestimated.

“Hahaha, of course, I’ve been wanting to see it for a long time.”

Alwin’s cooperation made the general sighed in relief. exist.

But the young captain of the “Navy Rising Star” Ranked First is also a young man, and if he encounters a thorn, he will have a headache. Although it is a defense, how can I use the apple of one’s eye of these countries as ordinary soldiers?

‘Hey, I just hope that the next star from Ilya can cooperate like this! ‘

Thanks to the book friends and the scumbag world for taking the lead! Thank you for your monthly and recommended tickets!
