Start with an Archangel

Three two-masted warships carrying the flag of the Chongming Fleet have appeared in the sight of the pirate ship. The lookout at the top of the mast issued a signal to the pirate fleet, asking the pirates to 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 gun ports on the side of the ship, and the cannons were pushed out one after another.

The pirates' fighting posture prevented the three two-masted battleships from approaching too closely. Against a two-masted battleship and a three-masted merchant ship, Feichen Island's fleet had no absolute advantage. Anyway, once the pirate fleet enters the artillery range, it will be hit by the artillery positions on the island. When they attack from both sides, they can naturally win with slight losses.

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

The centaurs and dwarves who had been waiting since early morning were already very tired. Seeing that the pirate ship would not approach for a while, the defenders rested in place to recover their strength. Only when the battle officially started did they have the strength to fight. .

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

This strange appearance aroused the doubts of the elf hero. He was currently riding a silver Pegasus over the island. He had already known about the pirates' attack, but the pirates' strange behavior at this time aroused his alarm. .

This is definitely not an ordinary pirate. Ordinary pirates would have run away long ago when they saw the ships of the Chongming Fleet. These two ships are obviously related to the human hero and archangel who attacked the island a few days ago, and are also related to the Pudong Fleet. . These pirates drove the ship so slowly to draw our attention to the beach, and the real main attacking force should attack from the side or back of the island. However, the island is surrounded by mountains and there is no way to land on it, so the attacking force should be griffons coming 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. At the same time, he ordered the elf archer troops to move to the mountain around the island to prepare for the attack of the griffins. force.

Daliang stood on the bridge of the Blackfire and looked at the Blackfire pirate flag above his head, and then looked at Feichen Island in front of him. The appearance of Feichen Island was clearly displayed in front of him. In front of him was a beach about 100 meters wide. At the border between the beach and the woods, you can see positions built of logs, earth and rocks, and artillery behind the positions.

It is not easy to destroy the artillery inside under such a strong 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 brigs.

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

It seems that the strategy of getting tired soldiers is working...

Da Liang was still observing the situation on the island, and suddenly Da Liang's Pegasus Knight and Silver Pegasus Knight flew up from the island. They did not fly towards the beach, but flew towards the open sea in other directions. There are about 40 knights, with 30 Pegasus knights as the main ones and 10 Silver Pegasus knights in command.

The strategy of mobilizing the enemy also worked...

The last time he entered the island, those who fought against Julian were all silver Pegasus knights. Now the appearance of a large number of Pegasus knights means that the island's defenders have not only been replenished, but also strengthened. Of course, the enemy's increase in troops is also expected. Now these air units are gradually disappearing into the distant sky. When the battle begins later, the Blackfire Army will encounter much less aerial threats.

"All combat units have entered their positions, I order... to start the attack!"

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

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

A centaur who was responsible for monitoring pirate ships in the distant sea suddenly discovered some strange things floating on the sea, white and round like white fish bellies. There were a lot of these strange things, densely packed on the sea and drifting towards the beach.

The strange phenomena in the sea attracted more people's attention, but the defenders still regarded these as collective migrating fish in the sea, and did not arouse their sufficient vigilance until...

Until the round white thing at the front rises, revealing two holes under the Tianling Cover.

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

While the defenders were shouting and organizing a defensive line in a panic, the vanguard of the skeleton soldiers emerging from the sea had already stepped onto the beach.

"Click, click."

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

"Fire! Fire!"

The centaurs formed a queue and urged the dwarves to use artillery to attack the approaching skeleton soldiers. The attack was so sudden that they needed a little time to organize their originally scattered formation.

"Boom boom boom..."

The artillery pieces that had already been loaded with ammunition roared collectively, and ten solid iron pellets shot out, then rushed over the heads of the skeleton soldiers.

Since the artillery in the position was originally intended to attack pirate ships in the sea, it was filled with solid iron balls that attacked ship armor instead of grape bullets that attacked low-level skirmishers. In addition, these artillery were originally aimed at the sea in the distance at a high elevation angle. Facing the skeleton soldiers who had already rushed nearby, it was too late to readjust the shooting angle.

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

"Archer, where are the elven archers?"

The artillery was useless, and the centaurs and dwarves could only hope that their elf archers could suppress the skeleton soldiers from a distance. But they immediately discovered that the elven archers who were supposed to be behind them had gone somewhere?

They were transferred to the surrounding mountains around the island.

The centaurs and dwarves remembered the order given by the commander just now. Archers had been sent to guard against the "Gryphons" attacking from both sides and rear.

Damn it! It's up to us to deal with these cursed creatures. Fight! Centaurs, fight! Dwarves. Let us drive these skeleton soldiers into the sea. Victory belongs to the elves and Chongming City!

The centaurs and dwarves who lost long-range support were not affected by their morale. They raised their weapons and launched a countercharge towards the skeleton soldiers. What was in front of them was only the first-level soldiers of the undead clan, and they were a mixed army composed of first-, second-, third-, and fourth-level soldiers. How could they be scared back by the first-level soldiers?
