Chapter 1178 Ambush the Royal Navy
It has to be said that although the individual abilities of a court scholar are not that good, due to the limitation of only one skill, there will be shortcomings in various aspects. But when court scholars appear on a large scale, all kinds of abilities combined together are still very scary.
In particular, the various abilities complement each other's strengths and weaknesses, resulting in an effect where one plus one is greater than two.
For a moment, Zhang Tuohai was a little overwhelmed.
But under the attack of the fearless Viking heroes, these court scholars who had not received special group combat training were quickly defeated one by one, and their corpses littered the ground.
As the Viking heroes continued to advance, the resistance of the court scholars gradually weakened.
After Zhang Tuohai replaced three batches of Viking heroes, he finally pushed the battle line to the innermost part.
Zhang Tuohai deliberately left three court scholars among the Viking heroes.
"Tell me why you are here."
Zhang Tuohai grabbed a scholar by the collar and said.
"I won't tell you even if I die!" The court scholar was very tough and stiffened his neck.
"Really? Then I'll let you do as you wish."
Zhang Tuohai exerted force with one hand and broke the opponent's neck.
"Well, it's your turn next ." Zhang Tuohai threw the corpse away and turned his target to the next bachelor.
"I, I said, we are conducting a drug experiment."
The bachelor, who was obviously not that tough, said quickly.
"What experiment?" Zhang Tuohai asked.
"Aphrodisiac. His Majesty has been childless for many years. According to the Grand Secretary of the Palace, he needs to use dragon bones to make a potion to restore his virility. So, we have been conducting experiments here."
The bachelor said quickly.
"Do you think I will believe such nonsense?" Zhang Tuohai exerted force with one hand and broke the neck of the court scholar.
"Well, now it's your turn, what do you have to say to me?" Zhang Tuohai grabbed the last bachelor.
"It's true. It's really an aphrodisiac. The whole Inner Sea region knows that the Emperor has been childless for many years. It's not a secret at all. You can find out as long as you ask around. We are really researching an aphrodisiac."
Said the court scholar.
"Is that so?"
Zhang Tuohai nodded: "When is the next supply?"
"Two days later." The court scholar didn't know why Zhang Tuohai suddenly asked an irrelevant question, and answered subconsciously.
"Then you're useless."
Zhang Tuohai directly broke the neck of the last court scholar.
"You just heard that the emperor of the empire will definitely try to take these bones again for the sake of his offspring. Therefore, the best way is to destroy them completely. As long as the bones don't exist, they will have no motivation, and the pressure we face will be less."
Zhang Tuohai said.
"Well, okay." Molly also knew that it would be troublesome if she continued to stay, so destroying it was the best solution.
"So what should we do?"
Zhang Tuohai looked at the huge pit and used the power of the Phoenix Fire to burn all the corpses and bones to ashes.
Then he called the pirates to help carry the ashes out and scatter them into the sea.
What surprised Zhang Tuohai was that the Phoenix Fire burned all the dragon's bones, but the banned books were still well preserved, and even looked newer because the dirt was burned off.
Some of them even gleamed with metallic light.
"This banned book is quite interesting."
Zhang Tuohai discovered that this book was definitely not as simple as it seemed.
He called in pirates and had all the banned books moved to his room, planning to do some experiments at some point to see if he could discover the secrets hidden inside.
After moving the banned books away, Zhang Tuohai and Molly closed the door to the tomb, but rejected Molly's suggestion to destroy the house.
"Keep it for now. There will be a supply ship from the Empire in two days. After we ambush this ship, we can destroy this place."
Zhang Tuohai said.
"Okay, I understand." Molly nodded and agreed to Zhang Tuohai's arrangement.
After returning to the ship, Zhang Tuohai made some arrangements and the White Bird left Longya Port and hid behind the cliff.
He himself stood on the top of Longya Mountain with his men, looking into the distance.
Two days passed, and at noon on the third day, a large number of sails were seen on the distant sea level. A huge fleet was coming from afar.
"How many ships are there? There must be at least 20 of them, right? We only have one ship, will we be defeated?"
Looking at the connected sails, Molly felt a little weak.
"Don't worry, most of them are cargo ships, and they have a very shallow draft. They should all be empty. It seems that they are here to transport the keel away. I guess they have discovered that the surrounding islands have changed their ways, and they are afraid that the matter of Longya will be discovered, so they are preparing to transport the things away."
Zhang Tuohai said.
"There are several warships there, and some are battleships. Can we really defeat them?"
Looking at the giant battleship that was as big as a hill, Molly still felt a little uneasy.
"It doesn't matter. They are just a few battleships. No matter how powerful the battleships are or how large the caliber of their guns are, they can only fire horizontally. As long as Alduin maintains a good altitude and doesn't shoot into the muzzle of the gun, there will be no problem."
Zhang Tuohai said calmly.
"This is your battle to become famous," Zhang Tuohai patted Molly's shoulder, "Those forces have changed their flags, but they are only under pressure. If you can't win a big victory and defeat the Royal Navy, they will have other ideas. Therefore, if you want to stabilize these fence-sitters, you still have to rely on your strength as a backing. Today is just the beginning . If you don't dare to sell this step, you'd better be a canary on the ship."
"I understand." Molly nodded, climbed onto Alduin's back and stared at the sailboat in the distance.
The ships were getting closer and closer, and the formation of ships could be seen clearly with the naked eye.
"Two battleships, six cruisers, 20 transport ships, and two clippers. There are at least six infantry squadrons of lobster soldiers, and at least four court scholars on each ship. The Royal Navy has put in a lot of effort this time. If this fleet can be destroyed as a whole, the Royal Navy's power in the Xia Sea will be greatly reduced, and Longya's restoration will be smoother."
Zhang Tuohai looked at the approaching fleet and analyzed the situation.
When the sailboat was about to reach the island, Molly's eyes almost burst into fire when she saw the Royal Navy flag flying on the bow and the lobster soldiers on the deck.
Back then, it was these guys who drove me out of my home. Today, I can finally take revenge!
"Alduin, let's go. Today we will teach these damn lobster soldiers a lesson and tell them that Dragon Cliff is not destroyed!"
"roar--"
With a roar that shook the heavens, Alduin spread his wings and soared from Dragoncliff, just as his ancestors had done before.
