63. Knights of the Silver Prince (16)

I heard that there is a war going on.

Not only Sergeant Gotthrop, but all of Proshafen’s harbor guards knew that the Duke of Avillambus, the lord of the five provinces, including Angst, was attacking the Milanol Kingdom with his father Alzenberg.

But it was a war that had nothing to do with Proshafen. It was because Pro Shafen was an exception, so instead of sending troops, only gold and silver and various materials were supplied, even while enlisting men from all over Angst.

In addition, land routes to several neighboring territories, including the Obdorf region, and sea routes are blocked by pirates. He thought that he would not be attacked by the enemy unless the war situation became unfavorable.

Everyone thought so just a few seconds ago.

“It’s a steel fleet!”

“Attack of the Milanol barbarians!”

The Gellan tribes prided themselves on being the enemy of the ancient empire, so they regarded the Milanol Kingdom, which had been conquered by the northern tribes, as a group of barbarians. However, it was not something like ethnicity or history that divided the good or the bad in war.

“Shoot!”

The port guard guarding the lighthouse on the left side of the port entrance let out a loud shout. Responding to this, the soldiers fired long-barreled guns and drew their bows.

Kwajik.

Huge arrows with tough ropes attached to their tails cut through the air in succession. Half of them missed pointlessly, but the other half pierced the lead ship’s deck or boat and clung to it.

However, it was not possible to stop a long-barreled ship with a length of 45 meters and a width of 13 meters, which had even several layers of chains cut off.

The only thing that slowed it down was-

“Uin adandiara—!”

An old voice chanted an incantation with a strange melody. Standing on the embankment, Gothrop spotted a wizard with a long beard on the bridge of the flagship. He was unknown, but he was an Oghschlizo called ‘Antrum’s Mage’.

Whoa!

A strong, wet wind blew toward the pier, as if it were just before a typhoon hit in the summer.

The flagship of the Steel Fleet, ‘Grand Madame’, with its sails inflated, broke through the harbor entrance at once, like a knight charging on horseback.

Chick-Geek –

“Uh uh!”

The old gunners who pierced the enemy’s flagship with harpoon-like arrows fell apart as their fixtures twisted. Several unlucky soldiers were caught in it and lost their lives.

woo woo woo woo woo-!

An unfamiliar trumpet sounded from the sea. A cheerful tone, but at the same time a gloomy tone. it’s the enemy

Indeed, Gothrop’s prediction was not wrong, so two gigantic sailboats that looked exactly like the Grand Madame pushed into the harbor entrance. Even though they didn’t reach them, sailboats the size of the Black Dragon Fleet’s main front line

also appeared one after another.

Riding on the southeast wind brought in by the old wizard, they crashed into the harbor as if flying, and immediately dropped the battle lines tied to their flanks. Small warships like shield ships with shield plates on all sides or barges with roofs covered filled the gaps between the large sailboats. Then, he started rowing towards the Black Dragon fleet anchored at the pier.

“Tamsun (探ship; What the hell did the reconnaissance military ships do-”

Seeing the enemy fleet that filled the harbor in an instant, Sergeant Gotthrop let out a sigh mixed with resentment.

However, blaming the allied fleet for being intimidated by the ironscale fleet and sinking into the harbor was useless now. The first thing to do was to deal with the steel fleet that had come right in front of them.

“All ready for battle!”

Lord Cobble drew a long sword and commanded. Other port guards were similarly buoyed up. Meanwhile, the port chief sent a messenger to Yeongju-gwan. The size of the enemy reached 20 sailboats, so they must be in a hurry to ask for reinforcements.

“Prepare the arrows! Everyone, stay alert!”

“yep!”

Encouraging his crew, Gottrop looked down at the pier.

The Black Dragon Fleet, which was moored in two long lines at the pier, was attacked by the Steel Fleet at terrifying speed. It was like hitting one end of a thin stick with a flat stone board.

“surprise attack! It’s a surprise!”

“Fight back!”

The sailors and sailors who remained on the ship shouted and moved busily, but since more than half of the troops were away, they could not respond quickly. Just before the sailboat located at the far end of the pier untied the rope and left the pier, Grand Madame was hit on the side with all her might.

Quaang!

A roar that seemed to resonate across the pier and into the city center... Sergeant Gottlob was deaf for a moment and couldn’t come to his senses.

Looking up with a dazed face, the enemy’s flagship appeared to have cut the outermost friendly sailboat in half and boarded the next sailboat.

damn

With an ominous roar, the sailboat under the Grand Madame’s keel was smashed to pieces.

“Raise anchor!”

“Untie the rope! Get off the pier!”

Perhaps they were astonished at the sight of the two sailboats being submerged in an instant. The captain and boatswain who remained on the ship screamed like mad people.

“Sailors in place-!”

As if the reputation of being the most powerful fleet in the Mittergeland Empire was in vain, the Black Dragon Fleet was ambushed and chaotic, but quickly prepared for a counterattack.

“Catch the sail! Activate!”

“Shoot! Throw anything!”

The sailors who came to their senses prepared formation by dropping or rotating the ship from the pier. Sailors shot arrows and threw javelins. Some officers dragged out the battle wizards locked in the cabin and threatened them.

“Relax! Magia Kurt please spirit- Hey! You asshole!”

“Out of order right now! Before it splits open!”

As the officers pressed on with demonic faces, the battle mages reflexively memorized their spells even in panic.

However, no matter how quickly they memorized the spell, they couldn’t be faster than the battle mages of the Steel Fleet, who were preparing from the very beginning.

“BrQlantiaune!”

“Expulso arma!”

Spells in Milanese or Spacht, which Sergeant Gotthrop could not understand, flowed through the map.

Sailboats and routes, including the flagship Grand Madame, put their heads into the pier and poured out all kinds of attack spells toward the surroundings.

“Kkoaaaaagh!”

“Fire!”

“Beyond my master!”

When I turned around to where the soldier pointed, a sailboat was heading straight this way.

Watching the momentum, Lord Cobble narrowed his brows. No matter what the fuss was going on in the lord’s castle, he had to focus on the enemy right in front of him.

“What is that... Are you planning to land through this mess?”

As the old Imperial Knight said, the entire harbor was a mess.

It’s the outskirts of the harbor where dogfights between fleets are taking place. However, inside the harbor, there was no chaos with broken piers and smashed wires, and merchant ships and fishing boats caught up in it.

“Does anyone know that sentence!”

“I know!”

Sergeant Gotthrop quickly raised his hand at Lord Cobble’s question. He confirmed the inspection of the six ducks and blue scales on the crest of the sailboat that was approaching this way and then declared it.

“Milgester! This is the coat of arms of Count Milgrester of the Kingdom of Milanol!”

“...Milgester? In any case, they are definitely enemies.”

The Milgresters were a family with a tradition that dates back to ancient empires, but now was not the time to discuss such things.

That sailboat looked pretty sturdy, but no matter how much I stuck my head in, it was a good 70 meters to the dock. From there, you might be able to come in while avoiding the wreckage of the pier or the sailboats perched like reefs on the surface of the water...

“Harbor Guard! All ready to shoot!”

At Lord Cobble’s command, the Harbor Guard soldiers immediately took out their bows and crossbows.

The embankment, which reached a height of 5 meters, was practically the same as a castle wall. It was perfect for stopping enemy ships approaching the land and enemy soldiers trying to come up to the city from the docks.

“Magia Vilgroot! Magia Main! Prepare your order!”

“Yes, I understand.”

If the attacking spells of the battle mages were added to it, even a sizeable army could easily be stopped.

“Everyone in the long-established battery measure the nets! If that fairy approaches, I will shoot her right away!”

“yes!”

It was an order from the port commander standing in the middle of the embankment. Ballistas set up around him aimed at the woman in purple who was dismantling the wires in the distance.

He seemed like a pretty powerful arcanist, but if he threw three or four layers of iron net over it, he’d be like a wild boar caught in a trap.

As the battle posture was slowly being completed, Go Trop felt a surge of courage without even realizing it.

“uh? Chief over there.”

” huh?”

A soldier who was aiming a crossbow at the enemy ship called for Gothrop. Looking back, the sailboat bearing the Milgrester family crest was stopped in front of all sorts of obstacles.

Just as he was about to laugh at it, Gothrop realized why his subordinate had called him. It was because there was a man riding a strange horse standing on top of the sailboat.

“...What are you doing, bastard?”

The moment I was about to express my doubts about the bizarre behavior of a horse riding on a boat.

Suddenly the jockey hit the reins. Looking back, the huge horse, which was incomparably larger than an ordinary horse, took a few steps on the deck and kicked the boat vigorously.

Cooung.’

A sailboat with a length of more than 40 meters swayed in one moment.

Looking at it again, the horse that was not only big, but also had two horns on its head, jumped up with the momentum to fly into the sky.

“Huh?”

“What is that?”

The soldiers widened their eyes in surprise, but the horse with two horns but no wings could not really fly.

The rider kicked off the saddle and jumped up from the horse that was flying about 230 meters like that.

Krhin!

The huge horse roared wildly and fell to the surface. Either that or not, the jockey once again floated through the air for a while before shouting.

“Ah-lo-!”

The air under my feet exploded as if it were some kind of order! and exploded The nose was launched horizontally for about 20 meters like that, then drew a gentle curve.

“Uh uh uh!”

“Come this way!”

The soldiers of the port garrison, who were watching what kind of stupid thing was doing, scattered in fear. It was because the rider, who had drawn his long sword before he knew it, fell onto the embankment and over their heads.

With the sound of breaking flagstones, the man who had fallen swung his sword

.

Awesome!

A piercing sound, like a cane swung vigorously past my ears. A line of red thread was drawn in the air. Tududuk The nine people were broken into 18 pieces and tumbled across the floor.

“Uuuuuuuuu I!”

“Kill!” The soldier who was frightened and backed away, and the sergeant who was shouting and screaming, soon became pieces of meat.

A man holding a sword as long as a pole raised his left arm. In an instant, the world turned red and another group of soldiers fell.

Blood gushed out of them and clotted the man’s arm. The sticky blood covered the man’s left forearm like scales with an eerie sound.

“B-Turn it on!”

Lord Cobble, who pushed his men and attacked them, had his wrist cut off with one shot. A grip with hooked claws tore off his head.

The bloody landscape continued for a while.

“...Uh uh uh...

Amidst the deaths of his superiors, colleagues, and subordinates, Gothrop was trembling limbs. The trembling of the fingertip pushed the knife away.

with chaeng.

As if that was a signal, his crew also threw away their weapons.

“Whoa.”

The man, covered in blood all over his body, brushed his hair with his hand covered in ‘iron-blooded armor’. His black eyes, looking for something alive, turned to Gotrop.

The man laughed softly and Gothrop passed out.

It was a few hours later, around midnight, when Sergeant Gotthrop regained consciousness.

Imprisoned in the dungeon, he was quite shocked by the news that Proshaven had been captured, but was comforted by the fact that his men were by his side.
