Release that Witch

......

Roland stood on the roof at the top of the bridge's command room, looking at the long fleet that was lined up behind, and he was very embarrassed.

Although the flagship Roland was removed, the rest of the ships were slow and clumsy cement ships, but when more than a dozen ships came together, they still looked spectacular. The white smoke rising from the chimney has grown into a long line. The river is also swaying from both sides because of this huge fleet. It feels the ups and downs of the first wave of the ship, and it has quite a momentum.

The flagship gunboat is the most dazzling star in the queue. The bridge and slender shape make it completely different from ordinary sailboats and cement boats. The weaponry includes a 125mm main gun and tail two at the front of the hull. The Mark 1 machine gun, the special high-pressure steam engine and the propeller drive system allow it to run at a speed of 12 kilometers. In this era, it is definitely the overlord of the inner river basin.

"You seem to be in a good mood," the night smashed the wind and the head of the wind, "because you can return to the place soon?"

"The palace? No, I will never go back," he shook his head with a smile. "West is my home, I am just happy to be able to calm down the dispute quickly."

"Well... half is a lie."

Roland couldn't help but he almost forgot that the other person could tell the lie. "Cough, well, I actually feel that I am very satisfied with the so many ships in an evil month."

"This time is true," the night blinked. "But it sounds a bit boastful."

"So I didn't want to tell the truth."

"I understand," she chuckled twice and walked to Roland. "In fact, I didn't blame you. If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't mind if you scream."

"..." Roland groaned in secret, don't mind if you don't want to point it out.

"Right, I haven't said thank you yet." The night owl whispered to the front.

"Thank you?"

"End the dispute, calm the gray fort, whether it is ordinary people or witches, you can live happily under your rule," she said slowly. "I know you will definitely do it, but I didn't expect this day to be so fast." arrival."

"Not so fast, even if Tiffel is overthrown, the nobility will also have counterattacks and dying struggles. It will take several years to fully integrate the Grey Fort." Roland spit out the gas. "After all, history is always moving in the spiral, thinking There is still a long way to go to achieve the ultimate goal."

"It has been far beyond my imagination. I was still worried about seeing this scene with my own eyes."

"Speaking something stupid," he glanced at the other side. "Do you think I will let you go to danger?"

"Because I am a fighting witch, it is a matter of course to be active in the front line, and I have to pay a price for breaking the existing rules," said the nightingale. "I will do it from the moment I swear allegiance to you." Ok, this preparation."

"Unfortunately, I am disappointed," Roland shrugged. "The price will certainly be there, but it is basically paid by the enemy. Besides, I have to thank you for this."

"Why?" she said differently.

"Because I haven't met the witch, I won't be so determined to get out of this step."

If it weren't for Anna, he wouldn't immediately make a decision to save the witch. If the world has no magical power, he would rather stay in the barren border town and fear the primitive and simple life.

"This is... the truth," the nightingale looked up at him.

"Of course," Roland smiled.

Suddenly, a golden figure descended from the sky and fell on the side of the two. "His Royal Highness, four dhows are approaching us 20 kilometers away, with paddles on both sides, and the shape is very similar to the eagle boat mentioned in the information. "Lightning shouted," but I didn't see the statue of the eagle at the bow."

"This eagle's head is estimated to be the underwater angle of attack," Roland patted her head. "Good job, keep watching."

"Then... can the penalty problem be reduced?" The little girl stared at the prince.

The latter couldn't help but be teased. "Well, if you can guarantee that you won't be confused in the future, you can just make one."

"Yes!" Lightning's eyes immediately lit up, then leaped and leaped, flying like an elf to the east.

"You shouldn't let her go," the nightmare dissatisfied.

"There are rewards for having a fine memory," Roland said, waving his hand and turning to the ladder. "Go back to the command room, we have a job."

......

In the command room of the four-meter square, there was nothing but a wooden table and four benches fixed on the floor. The first army commanded the iron axe, the battalion commander Brian, the artillery battalion commander Fanner and the victory number. Captain Kakusim stood at the table and made a plan for the next water war.

"According to the information provided by Tassa, the four warships of Tefko are inland riverboats, and the speed should be comparable to that of cement ships, but the steering is more flexible." Roland pointed to the diagram on the table, "such vessels The attack method is generally close to the enemy ship and jump to help fight. It can also be loaded with flammable materials such as gunpowder or sulfur to hit the target, but the same is true. However, considering that the opponent’s original intention is to intercept the river and fish oil, it is unlikely to take The second way. This is the first time we have been engaged in surface combat, so I have any idea."

"His Royal Highness, the artillery is hard to hit a moving target, and we are constantly moving, so I suggest close to fire again," Fanner took the lead to express his opinion. "As long as I am close to 50 meters, I guarantee that group of boys." We can knock over an enemy ship every time!"

"But I heard that a shell not only consumes a lot of gunpowder, but only Miss Anna can make it," Brian shook his head. "So it’s better to wait for the other side to take the lead, as long as they dare to lean over and use the weight on both sides. The machine gun can completely sift them into sieves."

Roland looked to Kakusim. "What do you think?" The reason why the old man was called to the flagship is because he is probably the only person in the winter city who has experience in naval warfare. According to him. It is said that he encountered pirates more than once during the business, although it was the object of being robbed every time, but it was also an experience.

"Oh, Your Highness..." Kakusim hesitated for a moment. "In my opinion, it would be fine to hit it."

"What?" The other two squinted.

"Your ship is big and fast, or it is made of steel. If the wooden ship is afraid of smashing it, it will fall apart. Even if it doesn't smash, the water at the break will make them lose their ability to move." He looked up at everyone. "Of course, this... this is just my personal opinion."

Upon hearing this tactic, Roland’s mind couldn’t help but emerged today’s celestial blue sky and the poems on the ship’s flag.

"Very good, just do it," he finally made the road. Although there is no d-flag, it is the same with the four-star flag of the tower. "Tell me to order, Roland rises without the banner of the winter city, whistle, and advance at full speed!" Your support is my greatest motivation. )16-12-2711:21:23
