Chapter 16 High Priest!
It's close, it's close, it's already very close.
The night wind blowing towards me seemed to bring wet water vapor. You could hear the sound of river water flowing in front. After passing through a sparse forest, everything in front appeared in the eyes of these exhausted refugees. Huge warships were large ships that many of them had never seen in their lives. At most, medium-sized ships could only be seen in the Onyx River. Such large warships could only be deployed on the vast and boundless sea.
The black hole muzzle aimed at the location of the land, and the army on the warship was ready to go.
There were torches lit up all sides, and I couldn't see how many warships were, but I'm afraid it was close to hundreds, because in their field of vision, the entire river was filled with large ships. Surrounded by a faint mist, there seemed to be a fog in a certain position. No one could see clearly what was inside in the darkness, but it seemed like a dangerous monster, quietly watching everything in front of him, waiting for his master's call!
Fortunately, the Onyx River can be as wide as the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, otherwise Soren's fleet would not have been able to drive in at all.
"Quiet."
A soft female voice sounded, and it came into the ears of others like the spring breeze blowing on her face.
Then everyone became quiet.
They themselves didn't know why. They had just experienced a cruel killing and escape. Panic was still shrouded in their hearts, but when they heard this soft female voice, they couldn't help but calm down, and their hearts seemed to be comforted by some kind of force.
Pastor Holy Spirit-Milan looked up and looked ahead.
She saw a tall woman covered in a veil, and the other party had a very familiar aura, which was the divine power given by my Lord.
But the other party is stronger than her!
Milan walked to the front of the deal, gently twisted up the petite and delicate body with the corner of the skirt, leaned down, and expressed respect to the woman in front of her, "His High Priest!"
The masked woman smiled and nodded.
Pastors from other churches looked at each other and quickly leaned over and looked down to show respect. Although they didn't know who the masked woman in front of them was, they comforted everyone with just one sentence, and it was obviously not an ordinary existence.
"Let the women and children get on the boat first."
The masked woman glanced at the people in front of her and slowly ordered: "The man stayed there and prepared, there was enough food on the shore. Let them share it with others."
"The Sixth Fleet is ready for combat."
"The enemy may catch up at any time, send civilians to the cabin, and after eating, equip the militia with weapons."
The soft voice seemed to carry a magical power.
The crowd in front of him was automatically separated according to her orders, and then the women and children were sent to the deck one by one and placed in the cabin of the warship. These fleeing civilians basically had no elderly people, and it was difficult for the elderly to survive in the war. Most of them were women and children, and then militias who believed in the half-elves. During the siege, all adult men were summoned. Even teenage boys were forced to learn some combat skills.
"Let the pirates not harass these civilians."
The masked woman turned around and looked at the pirate leader behind her, and said coldly: "These are all believers of my Lord! You should know what Your Excellency Sauron will deal with those who violate the order!"
The pirate leader who had no left ear showed a grim smile on his face and nodded, "Don't worry, priest!"
"Who dares to do anything randomly, I personally peeled his skin!"
Cruel means of domination.
Sauron's rule on the South Coast was maintained by killing and order. Only those who had no problem with their brains knew what would happen if they violated His Excellency Sauron's orders.
This honor kills people without blinking!
The steaming food was distributed, partly prepared in advance, and the other part was jerky and salted fish. The prepared food was very sufficient, most of which were fish in the ocean. It was very satisfying to fill the stomach at this time. Being able to eat meat now makes many people feel a little happy. Even in peacetime, as civilians, they can add some meat during festivals. From everything they see in front of them, the food prepared by reinforcements is very abundant, and meat actually accounts for a large proportion.
It seems that my Lord’s power is really well-founded.
At least very rich!
The old bishop looked at the priests next to him. At this time, he didn't care about his demeanor. He picked up a bowl of hot soup and swallowed it with dried meat and salted fish. Luoye City has been besieged for a long time. There was not much food in the city, and he had to share a portion with a large number of refugees. Even the noble priests, they could only barely fill their stomachs during this period.
Eat meat?
If you let go of the moral taboos in your heart, maybe Luoye City does have a lot of ‘meat’.
There were voracious sounds everywhere.
Obviously, there should be a little confusion due to hunger and panic at this time, but I don’t know why whenever the masked woman’s voice sounded, everyone’s hearts were quiet and quiet. They collected food in a quiet and orderly manner, and then prepared for battle after filling their stomachs. After eating, they naturally had the strength to eat. The arrival of reinforcements obviously restored the morale of the temple guards.
The foundation of a church is definitely not simple.
Many of the surviving priests are close to the advanced level, and the temple guards have passed the first round of siege battles. Most of the surviving survivors are professions above the third level.
Among them are many special advanced guardian knights.
Otherwise, they would not be able to stop the orc army ten times their own, and they could hold on for that long.
"Praise my Lord!"
"Praise my Lord!"
"Praise my Lord!"
Flashes of praise and prayer sounded, and when the fire of hope was reignited, many people couldn't help but kneel on the ground and pray for praise.
The masked woman smiled and looked at everything in front of her!
She seemed to be the center of everything, and when anyone's eyes fell on her, her heart could not help but breeze.
soon.
Everyone boarded the warship, and the retreating pirate elite appeared in front of them.
The priest and the temple guards boarded the deck, and the civilians were placed in the cabin. The whole process was quite orderly, and there was no panic from beginning to end.
Sauron's figure appeared in the darkness.
He looked at the masked woman in front of him with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and then said seriously: "Prepare for battle! Fill in ammunition!"
"The army of orcs is catching up."
……………………
Eugene arrived very quickly.
Orc warriors have obvious physical advantages over humans. When all the civilians were placed in the cabin, a vast army of orcs also appeared in the sight of the lookout hand.
"Dig a trough!"
The old sea dog stood on the watchtower holding a monocular lens and murmured: "Many enemies! If they dare to rush up, how many will we kill in one shot?"
They are pirates.
Although the coastal areas are also restricted by the church, the control of alchemy weapons is not so strict.
Almost every warship has cannons. Although they use solid shells, their lethality is still very great for ordinary warriors. The disaster brought by the Arcane Empire has made many church forces strictly control alchemy crafts, but there are not so many restrictions in the active areas of pirates. The artillery power controlled by Sauron should be in a handful of material planes. If it is placed in naval battles, the lethality may not be very good, but if it is replaced by dense formation battles on land, a single shot will really clear out a bloody path.
"Come on!"
Scarface walked out with a grim smile. He had an injury on his left arm, and was injured by an orc sword saint. Fortunately, the other party had just advanced for a while, so he carefully prepared a poisoned crossbow (venom used by the natives). Otherwise, he might have been slaughtered by the enemy. There was a half-orc sword saint hidden in the battle formation. Scarface, who was almost killed by the ghost, took out two iron balls connected together with chains, and then put them into the cannon chamber in person. He smiled strangely: "Put this in! It's great to use this shell to hit it!"
The enemy is getting closer.
Because I was busy sending civilians onto the ship at the beginning, the pirates must have no time to return at this time.
So after Sauron's order was issued, the giant immediately led the elite pirates to form a formation on the riverside, and then waited for the enemy to rush over with anticipation.
It's better not to come up.
If you dare to come up, these hundreds of cannons will definitely teach them to be a new person in minutes!
……………………
Eugene stopped.
It stared at the battleships ahead, and its face became quite ugly.
pirate!
It had traveled around the mainland, so it was naturally impossible to have no impression of pirate warships. Although there was no pirate flag on the warships, it could recognize that all these enemies were pirates at a glance.
One cannon.
Although Eugene himself sneered at this inferior alchemy weapon and would not take it seriously at all, he also knew very well how this weapon hurt ordinary warriors. Its clumsy gun body and slow firing speed were simply a piece of scrap iron in many battles, but in the case of such large army fighting in front of him, their lethality is quite amazing!
There are also cannons in Luoye City.
But the half-elf is proud of the excellent archers. The dozens of cannons placed on the city gate are simply decorations, which are completely different from the black muzzle in front of you.
Cannons are standard equipment for pirates!
Whether it is the gunner's skills, the number of cannons, or the power of artillery fire, coastal areas are not comparable to those inland areas.
If you force an attack.
I'm afraid they will resist a round of artillery fire!
