South Continent "Treasure Tree Bay", a large bastion "Teddy Fort" jointly managed by the Tulip Alliance.
An exclusive recreation room for the captains.
A capable officer with short brown hair and wearing a Tyrolean uniform, put down the expired newspaper in his hand, and heartily praised another captain nearby:
"Hey, Captain Gehr, your family is really an amazing character!"
For them who have been in remote areas of the Southern Continent for many years, apart from the military’s internal newspapers, they can only use these outdated newspapers to learn about the news on the other two continents.
And this one used the entire main version to praise the New World garrison undersecretary Brigadier General Ivan Galliot, and his great contribution to the resolution of the New World's virulent infectious disease.
At the same time, in recognition of his achievements, the Royal Society of Medicine has prepared to award him a Hippo Clarke First Class Medal that has not been awarded for at least three years.
The several captains stationed next to the fleet laughed and echoed:
"If my son can be half as good as Brigadier General Galliot, I can wake up from a dream."
"me too!"
"By the way, Colonel Gehr, find a chance for the younger generations to sit together. My daughter is beautiful, and she is a talented student at the Tulip Art Academy... Huh, huh, why are you dragging me?"
As colleagues who have worked with Geer for a long time, they certainly know the relationship between the two. Although the last name is different, the brigadier general is no different from the oldest son of the Geer family.
Some people have also obtained some high-quality potions from Geer that are extremely difficult to obtain from the kingdom channels. Needless to say, they are all from the hands of Ivan who has not forgotten his uncle after he developed.
And Geer, who was enjoying the treatment of the star holding the moon, was also a little emotional. Originally, he predicted that Ivan would be a general within ten years. How long has it been since it's time for my uncle to be expensive?
But... this feeling is really good!
Geer's gaze passed through the windows of the bastion and across the endless Black Sea with blooming waves, as if he had seen the vast continent on the other side of the sea.
"This is probably far from your limit, right? Irvine. However, I should be fast too. I will break through when the garrison mission is over and I will return!"
subconsciously touched the bottle of amber potion in his pocket that he could not leave.
...
"Treasure Tree Bay" is located 2,300 kilometers north of Cape Agulhas, the southernmost tip of the mainland.
When the countries just started to colonize the Southern Continent, this area with a subtropical and semi-desert climate was arid and rainless. It was a barren land.
However, the Tulip Alliance, as a colonial latecomer, is not qualified to be picky at all.
After the Zaire Basin also occupied a piece of land that was better than nothing, I had no choice but to continue southward to explore the places that the powerful countries dismissed.
Maybe the time has come, but in this barren land at the southern end of the mainland, they have discovered two great treasures one after another!
One of them is the Witwatersrand Basin found in the central plateau.
There is a gold-bearing conglomerate belt of hundreds of kilometers. On average, 10 grams of gold can be produced per ton of gold-bearing conglomerate. The total proven gold reserves are 12,000 tons. It is called the Rand Grand Gold Mine.
is also one of the foundations of the first rise of the Kingdom of Ilya after the discovery of the new route.
Later, as the proven reserves of gold mines continued to increase, the Ilya royal family soon realized that it was difficult to monopolize them, so through numerous exchanges of benefits, the Tulip Alliance countries finally had a share in the gold mines.
also gathered the power of the entire tulip to firmly occupy this place!
The other is "Treasure Tree Bay" on the west bank.
Even if the climate, soil, and geographical location are bad, they are not suitable for the growth of large trees. But after the wizards' investigation, this place is actually at the key "magic element" node of the entire continent.
Extraordinary power has created a batch of oak varieties with extraordinary quality-"Iron Oak".
"Iron Oak" as a superior shipbuilding material is excellent in terms of hardness, toughness, and water expansion rate. Among them, the most high-quality existence is called "Treasure Tree". It is an extraordinary material that can be used to build legendary battleships. It is also the origin of the name "Treasure Tree Bay".
Because of the extraordinary power bonus, the legendary battleship already existed before the first battleship was launched in the true sense. The grading of battleships from one to six must be even after this.
then.
The battle surrounding the "Treasure Tree Bay" is also the fiercest big gold mine, and may still need to weigh the consequences of a lot of choices. But "Treasure Tree Bay" is like a natural nuclear arsenal in this era. It is the existence of a powerful country no matter how much it pays!
Especially the time when Tulips discovered this treasured land was very late after the establishment of the colony of the New World.
At that time, Hilius already had the capital of the hegemon, carrying the infinite power of destroying the two indigenous empires of the Atrians in one fell swoop, and his behavioral style gradually became domineering. However, the desert kingdom of Heymar is gradually complacent, lying in a privileged location and eating his money.
Hilius, the Tulip Alliance, and Atlan are the major forces that are qualified to take a bite. They have fought more than a dozen battles.
In the end, they fixed their respective interests in the "Baoshu Bay" in the form of a contract.
As the first discoverer, the three countries with the strongest tulip, Ilya, Falettis, and Tyro, have substantive jurisdiction over here.
They accounted for 30% of Treasure Tree’s share and 50% of ordinary iron oak.
The price must be 50% of the treasure tree of the overlord of the Kingdom of Hilius and 10% of the ordinary iron oak as a tribute
After setting aside a separate copy for the Duchy of Tulips, the remaining part is divided between Atlan and other Tulip countries.
Even with contractual constraints, these shares are guaranteed.
In normal times, each of the Tulip Three Kingdoms stationed a great knight in this not too big place. Under the common share of military power, they maintained the powerful combat power of three Tier 3 great knights and a quasi-legendary ship.
The specifications are almost comparable to their colony in the New World.
But.
With the further turbulence in the domestic situation, Tier 3 of the Kingdom of Ilya has left early, obviously busy standing in line.
While the other two countries were a little angry, it was not surprising that all the great knights who had advanced title potential and were loyal to Ilya had been summoned back to work hard to protect the successor kingdom and continue the kingdom.
Thinking with his ass, I also know that the people who are still dangling outside either have already taken refuge in the new aristocracy or have fallen in the wind.
The consequences of the emptiness of combat power will be borne by the other two countries. Today, only two great knights from the Kingdom of Falettis and Tyrol are supported, plus a quasi-legendary battleship belonging to the Tyrolean kingdom, the "Five Mast Peak".
Obviously, it is not only that they, as allies, have a clear picture of the situation in Ilya, but also the Hilius.
and so.
When the war comes.
was so unexpected for them, but it was so natural.
Hu
The scorching sea breeze in the subtropical region blasted the flag violently.
"Fire!"
"kill--!"
On the vast sea outside "Treasure Tree Bay", two rows of long snake-like battle lines are anxiously venting firepower to each other.
Boom! boom! boom! boom! boom! boom! ...
The thunderous artillery fire made the sea tremble and people's hearts were trembling.
In the thick smoke, warships capsized from time to time. Under the shining of the sunset, it seems that the whole sea is burning, and I don’t know how much of it is sunset and a bit of blood!
But the well-prepared Hilius, no matter in the battleship level or the strength of the extraordinary, they are obviously more than one stable.
Even after the division of forces, a combined sea and land attack was launched against several main targets at the same time. But "Baoshu Bay" and "Rand Gold Mine" are undoubtedly the absolute top priorities.
"Treasure Tree Bay" not only has the strongest military force stationed here, it is also commanded by the pinnacle knight Griffizi himself.
While opening the battle line to line up to bombard.
The pinnacle great knight handed over the command to the king’s deputy commander, steel knight Kungang Taita, and successfully suppressed the joint efforts of the two great knights of Falettis and the Kingdom of Tai Luo.
On the periphery of the bay, the swift and windy "Red Maple" also firmly suppressed the quasi-legendary battleship "Five Mast Peak" with dual capabilities in the Kingdom of Tyrol.
At this time, the only thing the Tulip Fleet can rely on is the bravery and determination of the soldiers who dare to seize the upper hand and retreat!
Seeing that the situation seems to have become too critical to deal with.
step on.. step on.. step on..
Two figures wearing wizard robes with a strong temperament of technicians have arrived on the second floor of the bastion, which is also the turret layer of the bastion.
lifted a huge tarpaulin, revealing a golden light rune flowing underneath it, compared with ordinary artillery, it is almost like a giant gun.
The current Hilius is not the old Hilius, and Falettis is obviously no longer the old Falettis.
Alchemy wizards from the "Violet Eye", although most of them are not good at frontal combat, no one can underestimate their war potential.
This door is powered by alchemy stones and uses all the most advanced artillery technologies.
has a caliber of 203.2 mm, a muzzle length of 9,300 mm, and a total combat weight of 17,000 kg. The muzzle velocity is 933 meters per second, and the rate of fire is 2 rounds per minute. The weight and range of the projectiles launched were: cone-bottomed concave projectiles, with a weight of 95.9 kg and a maximum range of 40 kilometers.
Although it cannot be mounted on any sailing warship due to its terrible recoil and self-weight, the large bastion is its excellent carrier, equivalent to another immobile quasi-legendary.
Boom!
With a loud noise that seemed to shatter the sky, an unscrupulous Tier 3 ship was crashed through a large hole several meters in diameter on the sea in the distance. The turbulent sea water has lost its rescue value.
Half a minute later, another ship in the battle line of Hilius
And Hilius' response was also extremely fast.
under the cover of five or six small gunboats.
Another great knight in the Hilius fleet, Kungang Taita, had already rushed into the harbor like a steel rhino in heavy armor, and went straight to the "alchemy artillery" on the bastion.
嘭! Bang! Bang! ...
The heavy steel boots step on the ground, each foot can step on the broken stones, facing the bastion that has no third-order power to guard, a cruel smile appears at the corner of his mouth.
"Haha, the wizard will die!"
Seeing such a scene ~EbookFREE.me~Ger, who was directing the battle on the "Maywind" in the battle line, had his eyes flickering slightly.
Both sides of the battle are very clear at this moment. The key to the battle at this moment is not the quasi-legendary battleship, the battle line, or the three great knights. Only that door is the only hope for the Alliance to come back!
But if a Tier 3 great knight rushes into the bastion without hindrance and kills, before the weapons in the hands of ordinary soldiers undergo a qualitative change, they cannot resist it.
The gap between the formal knight and the great knight is more than just a kind of extraordinary energy?
Tier 2 may be driven back by flintlock muskets, or even besieged by musket arrays without retreating. But when it comes to Tier 3, especially Tier 3 with full body armor, there is no problem even if a person slaughters an army.
If the bastion falls, there is no second possibility other than the great defeat and massacre.
There is no way out for the alliance at this time!
Looking at the warships sunk by the heavy artillery of Tier 3 ships and colleagues who are dying at any time, Geer secretly gritted his teeth and shouted: "First Mate Perry is responsible for directing the battle."
took out the bottle of amber potion with his own body temperature and poured it into his mouth. It was the precious potion "breath of giant beasts" that could increase the promotion probability of the peak knight.
A gift from Irvine on his waist suddenly shines, and his strength is increased again.
Boom! ! !
The next moment, the raging flames of fighting spirit have burst out like a volcano!
嗖
In the unbelievable gazes of the enemy and us, a scarlet meteor rubbed the sea and rushed towards the bastion of the harbor.
However, what is contained in it is the power of a volcanic eruption, plus the same...chaos and tyranny!
