Chapter 42 Come Out, Skeleton Soldiers!

Three brig warships bearing the flag of Chongming Fleet had appeared in the pirate ship's vision. The lookout hand at the top of the mast showed flags to the pirate fleet and asked the pirates to leave the sea immediately. However, the pirates ignored the elves' repeated warnings and kept sailing to Feichen Island.

The pirate ships moved very slowly on the sea. They opened the muzzle on the side of the ship and one cannon was pushed out.

The combat posture of the pirates prevented the three brigged warships from getting too close. Flying Chen Island's fleet has no absolute advantage in dealing with a brigged warship and a 3-masted merchant ship. Anyway, once the pirate fleet enters the range of artillery, it will be attacked by the island's artillery positions. At that time, they will attack from both sides and 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 and the two pirate ships had not yet entered the range of artillery on the island.

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

As time passes by little, the pirate fleet does not increase its speed.

This strange appearance aroused the doubts of the elf hero. He was riding a silver pegasus and parked above the island. He had already known the pirate's attack, but the pirate's strange behavior at this time triggered the alert in his heart.

This is definitely not an ordinary pirate. Ordinary pirates had already run away when they saw the ships of the Chongming Fleet. These two ships were obviously related to the human hero and the archangel who attacked the island a few days ago, and were also related to the Pudong Fleet. These pirates drove the ship so slowly to attract our attention to the beach, and the real main attacking troops should attack from the side or behind the island. However, the island was surrounded by mountains and could not land, so the attacking troops should be griffins coming from the sky.

The elves who thought he guessed the enemy's attack route immediately ordered his Pegasus Knights troops to take off and search for the enemy's situation in both sides of the island and behind the airspace. At the same time, he ordered the elves archers to move to the mountains around the island to attack the griffin troops that were raiding.

Daliang stood on the bridge of the Black Fire and looked at the Black Fire pirate flag above his head, and then looked at Feichen Island in front of him. Feichen Island's appearance was clearly displayed in front of him, and there was a beach about 100 meters wide. At the border between the beach and the woods, you can see the positions built by logs and earth and stones and the 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 attacks with just two ships, the artillery on the island does not require the support of three brigs, it is enough to sink them all here.

Centaurs (dwarfs are too short) can be seen behind the artillery position. Due to the obstruction of trees, the number cannot be determined. However, these centaurs are obviously in a state of rest, with scattered formations and weapons are also placed aside.

It seems that the strategy of getting the weary soldiers is effective...

Daliang was still observing the situation on the island, and suddenly Daliang Pegasus Knights and Silver Pegasus Knights flew from the island. They did not fly towards the beach, but flew towards the outer sea in other directions. There were about 40 of these knights, mainly 30 Pegasus Knights, and 10 Silver Pegasus Knights were responsible for commanding.

The strategy of mobilizing the enemy also worked...

When we entered the island last time, the silver Pegasus Knights fought with Julian. The appearance of a large number of Pegasus Knights means that the island's defenders have not only been supplemented, but have also been strengthened. Of course, the enemy's increase in troops was also expected. Now these air units are gradually disappearing in the distance. When the battle begins, the Black Fire Leader's army will encounter much smaller air threats.

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

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

“Look…what is on the sea?”

A centaur responsible for monitoring the pirate ships in the distant sea suddenly discovered some strange things floating on the sea, white and round like white fish belly. These strange things were numerous and floated towards the beach densely on the sea.

The strange phenomenon in the sea attracted more people's attention, but the defenders regarded these fish collectively migrated in the sea at this time, and did not arouse them enough to be wary until...

Until the round white thing in the front rose and exposed the two holes under the Tianling Cover.

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

While the defenders were yelling and panic to organize the defensive front, the vanguard of the skeleton soldiers emerging from the sea had already stepped onto the beach.

"Click, click."

The dense queues made the skeleton soldiers constantly collided and made a sound of breaking the surface. They shook the bone sword in their hands and charged forward together. As more and more skeleton soldiers walked out of the sea, they filled the entire beach in a short time.

"Fire the gun! Fire!"

While forming a formation, the centaurs urged the dwarves to attack the approaching skeleton soldiers with artillery. The attack was too sudden, and they needed a little time to organize the originally scattered formation.

"Boom boom boom..."

The cannons that had already completed ammunition loading collectively roared, and ten solid iron balls shot out, and then rushed over the head of the skeleton soldier.

Since the artillery in the position was originally intended to attack the pirate ship in the sea, it was loaded with solid iron balls that attacked the ship armor, rather than grape bullets that attacked the low-level scattered soldiers. In addition, these artillery were originally aimed at the distant sea surface at a high elevation angle. Facing the skeleton soldiers who had already rushed to the nearest, it was too late to adjust the shooting angle.

A round of artillery fire shook the sky and the earth, but it did not cause any substantial damage to the skeleton soldiers. It was too late to reload the bullets.

"Archer, where is the elf archer?"

The artillery lost its function, and the centaurs and dwarves could only expect their elf archers to be able to suppress the skeleton soldiers at a long range. But they immediately discovered that the elf archers who were supposed to be behind them no longer knew where they went?

They were transferred to the surrounding island-round mountain.

The Centaur and the Dwarf remembered the command just issued by the commander, and the archers had sent to guard against the "Griffin" attacking from both sides and behind.

Damn it! We can only 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!
