Heroes of the Invincible Knight
Chapter 305: port and messenger
South of the kingdom, Havre.
The blue water swayed slightly, and the sun shone on the sea with golden scales. Some seabirds were taking advantage of this sunny and sunny weather to land frequently to prey and grab some small fish on the sea.
Originally it was a good day to leave the port, but now the ships are almost all docked in the port.
Havre Port is an inconspicuous small seaport. It cannot stop any big ships. However, because it is connected to the main shipping route and is backed by several small towns for trade, you can eat some leftovers from maritime trade. I went back here to sell some fish to make some money, so although the port of Havre is small, but because of its mixed use, its popularity is still strong, and it can be considered to have stepped out of its own development path.
It's just that the once prosperous Havre Port is now a bit deserted. Because of the chaos of the sea clan, some big ships are afraid to go out to sea, let alone these small boats in Havre Port. There are only some poor people. The fishermen had to risk their lives to make a living. Once discovered by the Sea Clan, I am afraid that even people and boats will be taken into the sea by the Sea Clan.
"Captain, when do you think the sea clan can stop? It's not a big deal if it continues like this."
There are still some guards patrolling the port. Originally, they were just maintaining order in the port. They would not be as diligent as they are today.
"This is something we can manage. This is something that can be managed by the big men in Bo Xi City and the Royal Capital. Let's just do a good job in the patrol mission. I heard that the sea clan has already started to attack the port."
"Hey, this group of god-killers are arrogant in the sea. They really dare to come to our Havre port and see if I don't make them into dried fish."
Another taller guard in the patrol team seemed to have more confidence in his own strength and was not very afraid of the invasion of the sea clan.
It is normal for the soldiers of these patrols to have little fear of the sea clan. The sea clan is different from the orcs. In terms of individual combat capability, the sea clan is not as good as humans. Their advantage is in the sea. It is no problem for a trained human soldier to have two or three ordinary sea clans.
The main advantage of the sea clan is that they are large in number and good at naval warfare. At sea, every human ship will be divided into different individuals by the huge number of sea clan, and it is difficult to support each other. A large ship with thousands of people is very It may be besieged by tens of thousands of sea clan, and fighting the sea clan at sea has always been the most troublesome thing for the southern human army.
However, on land, humans have always had the advantage. The Southern Corps was originally considered a relatively weak brigade, and patrols like Havre Port were not even in the regular army of the Southern Corps. They could only be counted as local garrison corps. The underdogs among the underdogs, even they are disdainful of the sea clan who have come ashore, one can imagine how poor the sea clan's land combat capability is.
"Okay, don't talk too much, just patrol, if you let the sea clan go ashore and cause some damage, no one will want to receive this month's military pay."
"Captain, we haven't paid out the money last month."
It’s okay if the captain didn’t say it. When he mentioned this word, a soldier in the team began to complain. These soldiers were not in the sequence of the regular army of the kingdom, and their salaries on weekdays were paid by the financial income of Havre Port. , Now that the Hai Clan is making such a fuss, the income of Havre Port is almost zero recently, and even these soldiers are only paid half of their salaries each month. The money is gone.
"Yeah, Captain, when will the gentlemen above hand out the money, my family will live on my little money, and if this goes on like this, the food will run out next month."
The income of these port guards is mediocre, just because the kingdom has traditionally attached great importance to military equipment, and the military salary of the garrison is slightly higher than the income of ordinary people compared to the regular army's 60-70%. But if this situation continues for another month or two, it will be really difficult for these ordinary soldiers.
"Okay, okay, don't complain. If any of the brothers in the team can't eat at home, come to me to borrow rice. If nothing else, a bite of rice can still manage the brothers."
As the patrol captain in charge of a dozen soldiers, his life is better than these soldiers. He was originally a veteran of the Southern Corps, and he has actual combat experience with swamp trolls. Although he does not have the strength of a quasi-knight, but He is also known as the elite of the army. After returning home with a pen money, he was a slaughterman in the army. In fact, he had no other ability, so he could only pick up weapons and join the guard of Port Havre.
After joining the Havre Port Guard, with his long-term service experience and excellent skills in the regular regiment, he quickly became a small leader. His usual military pay was higher than when he was a small soldier in the Southern Corps. I have some savings, so I have the confidence to say that I will support my soldiers with some food. As an excellent grass-roots officer, in addition to showing majesty to my soldiers, I also have some means to win over the relationship.
"Hahaha, say goodbye, I heard that the captain only raised a little lover in Dongxiang last month, and the money is very tight. How can we not be funny!"
The soldiers who were still complaining just now listened to what the captain said, but instead started joking with laughter. After all, when they were not in a desperate situation, they were much more fortunate than the group of miserable dockworkers and farmers.
"Ha ha ha ha…"
The soldier's speech immediately caused a burst of laughter, and the captain was not annoyed. The old man even had a smug smile on his face.
"Team, captain, look over there, what is that?"
Just as everyone was laughing, the smile on the face of a soldier who always faced the sea faded, and the expression on his face gradually turned to panic. After his reminder, everyone also turned their heads and found the abnormal direction of the sea.
What kind of scene was that? At this time when the tide should not be high at all, the waves formed a white line and rushed towards Havre Port. If you look closely, you can see that the sea clan is sitting on the waves. waving the weapon in his hand...
"Clang! clang! clang! clang!"
The soldiers on the watchtower also noticed the abnormality, and the bells that represented the urgency of the situation rang continuously, reminding this seaport city that the crisis had come.
"Retreat! Back to the high ground!"
The patrol captain made a judgment within a few seconds. The prodigal son was killed. If they stayed on the coastline, let alone fighting, I am afraid that everyone would be swept away by the waves, and the port could not go. Look at this prodigal son. I am afraid that the entire port is within its submerged range, and the people who are still in the port can only let them seek more happiness for themselves.
"boom!"
The waves soon came up, and the boats in the port were smashed by the waves. Some small boats that were not very strong were even smashed by the waves. Most people in the port did not escape, but were caught in the waves. inside.
Although these people who live in the port all the year round are not bad, whether they are civilians or soldiers, they are not comparable to the sea clan. Before they struggled a few times, they were killed by the sea clan in the sea.
Although the members of the patrol team on the other side have already retreated to the higher ground, and some people who started to respond quickly or are far away from the port have retreated to the high ground behind the port, at a cursory glance, this place has a population of nearly 10,000. Only less than a thousand people managed to escape from the small port.
Even this successful escape was only temporary. The waves were more ferocious than expected. After submerging the port, the waves continued to extend inland. Although they did not directly rush to the rear highlands, they successfully sent the soldiers of the Sea Clan. Not far from the highland, when the sea was blocked by the terrain and gradually receded, a sea soldier appeared from the sea and surrounded the last survivors of Havre Port in an arc.
These marine soldiers are armed with weapons made of special shellfish and wear protective gear woven from algae. Their average height is less than 1.6 meters and their wretched movements look very funny.
But at this moment, there are nearly a thousand survivors, including the soldiers, but none of them laughed, because the number of these sea soldiers is terrifying. As the sea receded, more and more sea soldiers began to show their bodies.
"Everyone! Prepare to fight!"
The patrol captain observed the situation in front of him and quickly came to the conclusion that they couldn't run away. They were basically surrounded by the sea clan. After leaving the highland, there was sea water that could not reach their waists. In two or three feet of water, humans can't outrun the sea clan no matter what.
Under the captain's order, his patrolmen quickly stood up and followed the captain. It can be seen that the captain usually has a high prestige and is supported by his subordinates. After they stood up, some other soldiers who ran out also Spontaneously stood up, and there were more than 50 soldiers who were still fully equipped.
"Hold the gentle slope, don't let these guys rush up!"
This gentle **** is actually not easy to defend, but it is the last barrier that this group of survivors can rely on.
"boom!"
Soon, the strangely screaming sea clan rushed up, the patrol captain stood at the front, and cut off the head of the sea clan that was most rushed at the front.
The other soldiers also achieved a lot in the moment of fighting. Human beings have a lot of advantages in terms of equipment and strength when facing the sea clan.
Although the equipment of the port guards is not well-equipped, they still have a leather armor inlaid with iron pieces. It is definitely not enough for them to fight with orcs with iron weapons, but against this group of poorly equipped sea clan, their performance is not bad. not bad.
Unfortunately, this advantage is not destined to last. There are too many soldiers of the sea tribe, and they slap repeatedly like waves hitting a reef, but this group of surviving humans is not as strong as a reef, at most it is a pile of hardened soil , Soon some soldiers were brought down by the sea clan, and there were loopholes in the defense line.
"Quick! Men are going up! Don't let them rush up!"
At this moment, I don't care whether these civilians have weapons in their hands, so I can only let them find a way to pick up the weapons they missed on the ground to fight. If they don't block the sea clan on the gentle slope, everyone will die.
"kill!"
The captain slashed a sea soldier with another knife. As a small leader, he was wearing a serious iron armor. The ridiculous weapon in the hands of the sea soldier could not even break the iron armor on his body. The rich old pawn, he also protected the unprotected parts of his body very well. After fighting for a while, he has cut down several sea soldiers, and he has not been injured at all!
"Hold on, beat them down!"
Those who can escape here are basically young and strong, and despite their desperate efforts, they still burst out with a lot of fighting power. Under the leadership of dozens of soldiers, they blocked the attack of the sea clan for a while.
"boom!"
"Captain, Captain!"
"Pooh!"
"It's the sea guard of the sea clan!"
A guy who was obviously much stronger than the surrounding sea clan suddenly appeared, and suddenly he gave the captain of the sea clan who was slashing and slashing. .
The weapons in the hands of these sea clan elites have become more exquisitely polished stone axes, which have a certain armor-piercing effect. They also have more sophisticated sea shark leather armor, and their combat effectiveness is no worse than that of the human clan elites.
"One, two, three..."
Of course, there were more than one sea patrol. After a group of ordinary sea clan consumed a lot of human stamina, they slowly emerged, and there were hundreds of sea patrol guards mixed with ordinary sea clan to attack.
"kill!"
The last thought in the mind of the captain holding the sword high was that she was fortunately placed in Posey City...
…
Posey
One of the largest cities in the south of human beings, it is also the largest city closest to the ocean. The entire Posi has a population of 200,000. On weekdays, trade exchanges are continuous. The rare treasures in the sea are collected and distributed here, and the goods from the north flow down the river all the way. Selling here, in terms of prosperity alone, Bosie did not even lose to the capital.
It's just that the prosperous Bosie is now a little deserted. Since the chaos of the Sea Clan, Bosie can be said to be in a depression that is visible to the naked eye. Businessmen can't make money, and the commoners have lost their source of income. will decline completely.
City Lord's Mansion
Paley was sitting in the room with a frown, watching the information sent from all over the place. The kingdom did not prohibit princes from becoming local high-ranking officials. By virtue of his identity and means, Paley sat in the position of the main mansion of Posey. That was him. His ability will never arouse Ren's fear.
Relying on the big city of Posey and radiating several provinces in the south, Paley has accumulated a lot of power, but how big the plate is, he is so worried now. In need of money, the sea trade was interrupted, and he lost most of his source of income. If this continues, the situation he managed to manage will probably collapse overnight.
"Report! Lord City Lord, the Havre port was looted by the sea clan, and the sea flooded the port. At present, none of the survivors have found it..."
Not long after the fall of Havre Port, Percy got the news and quickly sent it to the city master's mansion.
Another bad news. Paley, who was always giggling in front of Li Cha, now looks bitter like a bitter gourd. He has completely lost his usual escape~www.readwn.com~ The current situation is better than that of Li Cha in the capital. The wedding was even more severe, and the situation deteriorated faster than Paley imagined. The sea clan seems to have mastered the method of controlling the tides. The low-lying areas along the coast are now under the threat of the sea clan. Look at the meaning of the sea clan. , I am afraid that it will destroy all coastal ports and completely force mankind back to the land.
The kingdom may be able to accept this result, and when it is a last resort, it can even directly move the coastal people back, adopt a shrinking posture, and fully respond to the threat of orcs, but this result is definitely unacceptable to Paley. If it develops to this point, it means that As his power will be greatly reduced, he will be completely out of the fight for the throne.
"Come on!"
After thinking about it, Paley called a messenger who had been standing outside the door.
"Lord City Lord, please instruct me."
"Use a first-class wind bird to pass this letter to Hunter's house in the Northland."
"Yes, my lord."
