Chapter 107 A little more, I can handle it
After the two big birds were shot down one after another, the situation faced by this elite air strike team composed entirely of big birds became more and more severe.
The fewer they are, the greater the pressure each bird faces.
Soon, as time went by, they could hardly touch the residual coil of the electromagnetic gun, and could only try their best to protect themselves.
But even that is not easy!
I often walk by the river without getting my shoes wet. Not long after, when a big blunderbuss-billed bird kept avoiding the freezing light, the blood-winged dragon suddenly swooped down from behind it.
Before the contact, the big bird with the gunbill wanted to fly sideways to avoid it, but a bewitching melodious sound pierced into its ears at this moment, which made its brain ache, and its movements inevitably froze.
Another Lalu Lasi, another charming voice!
This momentary delay prevented it from dodging the deadly pounce.
The Blood Wing Wyvern snapped its neck cleanly with its "thunder teeth".
The third big musket-billed bird fell...
At this point, the enemy could no longer bear such a loss, and the remaining big birds hurriedly raised their heights, screaming in panic, while quickly moving away from the deck of the Black Pearl.
Far away, on the pursuing ship of the Silver Company, their captain immediately saw the big gun-billed birds fleeing through the binoculars.
"What's going on?! Who allowed you to let the elves retreat?! Did you get the things? Why did you give up the action without authorization?!"
The captain turned around and questioned his trainers angrily.
However, at this moment, none of the trainers of the big blunderbuss dared to look directly into his eyes.
"Captain...we...we don't want the elf to die, I...I really can't lose it!"
The captain was speechless for a moment.
He stared blankly at the subordinates in front of him, seeing these subordinates who respected him so much in the past and almost obeyed him, but now they were shaking their heads while retreating step by step, no one dared to face him head-on.
This scene was like a bucket of cold water being poured on his head, instantly extinguishing his anger and anxiety.
No matter how anxious and furious he is, the balance of combat power cannot be changed after all...
And after calming down, he soon found sadly——
Their ship is currently gradually distanced from other company ships.
In other words, he is actually the only ship that is struggling to pursue the enemy, and the others are far behind, just doing foreign work.
But at this moment, the watchman on the ship reported loudly to him: "Captain, the ship behind is signaling for us to return!"
"Damn it, return to the voyage at this time?! Are they all evildoers?!"
After a while, the watchman continued to interpret the signal and said: "They said that the Earl is injured!"
"..."
Now, the captain had nothing to say.
The earl's injury is indeed an impeccable reason...
He turned his head, took one last look at the Black Pearl that was drifting away in the distance, took a deep breath, and let it out slowly and feebly.
Then he ordered: "Order the elves to retreat, let's return to the port."
……
After the order was issued, the few surviving blunderbuss-billed birds at high altitude in the distance hurriedly accelerated and fled the battlefield without looking back.
Soon, the lookout on the Black Pearl also noticed the enemy's movements.
"The elves in the rear sea area are retreating! Captain, they are not chasing them anymore!"
Siegfried grabbed the binoculars to confirm, and then waved his hand and ordered: "Let the elves intercepted by the sea come back, raise the sails, we should go!"
"Full Sail! Forward!!"
……
"Full Sail! Forward!!"
……
Flying elves were harassing them before, and they never dared to open all the sails, fearing that too many sails would be destroyed by the enemy at once.
Now that this worry was finally gone, the Black Pearl's sails were fully hoisted, and the speed increased strongly for a while, and it quickly left this messy sea area.
So far, the battle has been completely settled.
The Church made some sacrifices, but the overall losses were within a controllable range, and the planned strategic goals were successfully achieved, and an additional vote of local nobles was captured. It can be said that the task was overfulfilled.
On the other hand, Silver Company was in a miserable situation. The base camp of Enuit Port was completely destroyed. Most of the invited local nobles were taken away, and their reputation and face were greatly affected.
More importantly, their spiritual pillars for so many years have collapsed!
This scar may take a long time to heal...
In the short term, most of them can only seek help from home and rely on blood transfusions from the Gardenia Kingdom to overcome this difficulty.
But these have nothing to do with Mu and the others.
Afterwards, the Black Pearl circled the sea and docked at the harbor in the church-controlled area on the other side of the Cape of the Moon. After that, the people on board changed to land transportation and returned to the capital of Lance, the center of the church, the next day.
This time they came back and immediately received a grand welcome!
The land troops came back earlier than the navy, and now all of them gathered together to hold a grand welcome banquet for the returning ship commanders.
At this banquet, the officers on the Black Pearl, especially Mu himself became the focus of the audience, the most beautiful boy at the banquet.
Batch after batch of people came to toast and congratulate him in an endless stream, and a group of people surrounded him and boasted in various poses.
"I just said that the younger brother of Her Majesty the Holy Maiden must be extraordinary!"
"That's right, as soon as I saw him at the time, I thought this guy would be a big weapon. Look at the... that... that electric cannon he made, and that old Ralph's Geng Gui will be blown to the ground with one shot!"
"Isn't it? As soon as he came, I could see that he must be a prince. Look at his knowledge and wisdom, he is different from ordinary people!"
Mu stood aside, listening awkwardly to this group of people bragging about all kinds of tricks, and could only show an embarrassed yet polite smile.
In fact, no one was optimistic about what he did before the electromagnetic gun really succeeded.
I especially remember that a few days ago he went to ask a high-ranking church member who had fought against Geng Gui, and wanted to get more information about Geng Gui from that person. At that time, the old naval officer was not optimistic about his research, and persuaded him with earnestness to train the elves well, and don't punish those vain people.
As a result, now that person is also mixed in with the crowd who are blowing in a fancy way...
Mu himself couldn't help but want to cover his face when he saw it.
For this kind of behavior of abandoning integrity and bragging without thinking, Mu can only express——
Give me more, I can still bear it~
cough……
Of course, this is not just due to vanity, another important reason is: Mu has already felt that with the great achievements of the electromagnetic gun and breaking the myth of Geng Gui's invincibility, people's attention to technological inventions is significantly increasing!
This is exactly what he wants.
The success of the electromagnetic gun may be difficult to replicate - based on the industry and material science foundation of this era, Mu estimates that it will be impossible for people to create a conventional weapon-grade electromagnetic gun that can not explode after firing a single shot for a long time.
Moreover, it is impossible for such a rough cannon without guidance to achieve such brilliant results every time.
However, this battle is a good introduction, which can quickly and effectively raise people's expectations and acceptance of inventions in the new era.
This is extremely beneficial to the construction of trains, railway networks, and even basic power grids that he plans to promote in the future!
In Mu's cognition, these are the miracles that are truly capable of changing the world, changing the times, and changing the way of life of all mankind!
(Ps: It's recommended again, please count the votes ~ this is the key wave!)
