Extraordinary Sailing

On the tenth day after passing through the Atreed Sea and saving the survivors in the mouth of the two white giant whales.

The "Storm Horn" arrived at Nisk Water City in the Kingdom of Tairo as planned, and it was also the final destination of their transnational mission!

Before arriving in Nisk, Milan's bad luck had completely dissipated.

It wasn't bad luck at all, but at the worst time during the 20-day voyage, it was nothing more than being hit on the foot by a falling heavy iron shell, and a small bag of golden lions fell into the sea.

Don't look at this guy's unlovable look at the beginning, but if you ask him if he will use it next time, he will definitely use it again.

This kind of thing is the same as wearing women's clothing, there is only a difference between zero times and countless times

Um? Seems like some weird metaphor has been thrown in the mix?

Ahem, it doesn't matter, the reasoning is the same.

The beautiful water city of Nisk.

Known as the "Pearl of the West Coast of the Kingdom of Taylor", it is a very important commercial and artistic center.

Also known as "City of Water", "City of Bridges" and "City of Light", it can be regarded as one of the most prestigious tourist cities in the Tulip Alliance.

Niske Water City covers more than 100 islands along the lagoon and two horn-shaped capes protruding from the sea. In the middle of the left and right capes is the largest outflow river in the Kingdom of Taylor, the "Leyton River".

At the same time, as a city at the mouth of the sea, Nisk Water City is also a land defense fortress guarding the outermost periphery of the prosperous urban agglomeration of the "Leyton Valley".

so.

Although after the high-level meetings of various countries, they all unanimously decided to send capable personnel to carry out the necessary defense.

But in fact, the strength of the original garrison here is already very strong.

It is composed of a river and sea mixed offshore fleet, a land infantry regiment and an elite musketeer unit. With the special geographical location of Nisk as the hub, it maintains the security of dozens of cities along the "Leyton Valley". Safety.

In the outposts along the city of Nisk and the "Leyton Valley".

A total of 8 cruise ships and 23 inland river patrol boats are in service, with a total force of nearly 5,000 people. Recently, troops have been continuously mobilized for reinforcements, and the total number has reached 8,000!

The arrival of the "Storm Horn" was warmly received by the commander of the garrison here, Major General Coverdale Drew, and his subordinates.

When they first docked at the port, the main officers on the ship and Ambrose, the representative of the church reinforcements, were invited by the adjutant who had already been waiting here to meet at the general's mansion.

Although Aiwen's military rank is only lieutenant colonel, after going abroad, he represented the Naval Department of the Phalatis Kingdom, and with many honors added to him, he is no longer that dispensable little person.

He was personally received by the local supreme officer, the commander of the garrison, at the first time, which is also what he should have meant.

Arrange for Gary and the first mate Bogg to stay on the ship and let them send away the first mate Fisher and the bad gambler Peeps who were rescued before.

Aiwen didn't take his little effort of kindness to heart, he didn't ask where they would go, and he didn't expect the repayment they promised repeatedly.

Taking Milan and Ambrose into the carriage arranged by the adjutant, the group went to the garrison headquarters.

The military port and commercial port on Nisk are completely separated.

The commercial port is close to the urban area of ​​Shuicheng, while the military port is located on the edge of the promontory on the north side. The major general's office is set on the promontory mainly composed of rocks.

Ai Wen has no feeling for this style of work.

But from Ambrose's perspective, he silently compared the garrison commander with Brigadier General Buhler of Beluga Port.

At least in terms of the location of the headquarters, Major General Coverdale, who is on the front line, is more reliable than Brigadier General Buller, who has his outpost in the bustling area of ​​the city.

A group of people led by the adjutant came down to the highest hill on the cape.

The garrison headquarters is set up here. Strictly speaking, it is a three-story bastion built of rammed earth and solid stones.

At this time, the flag of the Kingdom of Tairo was flying high on the top of the bastion.

A military facility like a bastion is not mysterious.

It is actually changing the past city from a convex polygon to a concave polygon.

This improvement made it possible for the attacker to expose more than one bastion face (usually 2-3) no matter which point the attacking castle was on, and the defender could use crossfire for multiple strikes.

The same is true of this garrison bastion.

In the three-story structure, the bottom layer is solid, but a fort gate is opened at the front and back, and a protruding fort is set on each of the four corners.

On the second floor, there are also four protruding forts, nested layer by layer, without any defensive dead ends.

It is the most powerful shield in land warfare in this era when various firearms have become popular!

It is said that with a 7:1 force advantage, it takes about 20-30 days to conquer a bastion, and each bastion is a hard bone that can make the enemy break a tooth!

If the garrison post in "Moby Whale Harbor" was also such a bastion, Brigadier General Buhler would not need to escape at all.

"Everyone please!"

Follow the adjutant into the bastion.

The first floor is mainly a solid structure. Food, ammunition, and a small impregnable prison are stored in a limited space.

Go up the narrow, dark staircase to the second floor of the bastion.

This is the residence of the soldiers. There is a parapet on the edge of the fort, and there are a lot of artillery positions behind it. There, Ivan saw a 24-pounder gun shining with metallic luster, and many busy soldiers were maintaining the gun.

Even if it is only counted by the artillery seen, the number of artillery prepared in this bastion is at least thirty, which can be called strong firepower.

Obviously, this bastion is by no means a bastion, and has completely entered a state of preparation for the arrival of the "Pirate King" at any time!

The third floor is a complete hollow castle structure, which is not much different from a thick and stable ordinary building. Walking up the stone stairs, the office of the garrison commander, Major General Coverdale Dulu, is located here.

The adjutant knocked on the door and entered with a group of people.

In Aiwen's eyes, the style of the office is extremely simple.

Except for the glass window with a better view, there are almost no valuables. The ground is made of raw stone, and the only decoration hanging on the slightly polished wall is a military portrait of Andre VI of the contemporary Taylor Kingdom.

‘Well, he is a handsome guy with a tough facial line like a marble sculpture, just like an ancient hero!

I just don't know if it has been beautified by the artist? '

Ai Wen commented lightly in his heart.

Seeing Aiwen and his party enter the door, Major General Coverdale, who was busy behind the desk, got up and warmly welcomed the arrival of this group of reinforcements.

Although the major general in military uniform is not tall, he is very imposing, with a red face and golden curly hair, his voice is like thunder:

"On behalf of His Majesty the King, thank you for your assistance in defending the Kingdom of Tairo! Please sit down!"

"Your Excellency, General, the countries of the alliance have always advanced and retreated together.

'Octopus Ghost' Hudgens was damned.

Provoking Tulip one after another has already touched the bottom line of the kingdom, and even touched the bottom line of mankind. He must not be allowed to continue to be rampant! "

Sitting on the somewhat hard sofa, Ivan thanked the adjutant for the tea, was polite to the major general, and routinely denounced Huggins, the pirate king who is now being beaten by everyone.

After exchanging a few words, this General Coverdale, as a typical soldier, naturally has a straightforward character, and he quickly got to the point.

"Captain Ivan, you should also know about the current situation.

I would like to arrange for your 'Storm Horn' to join the offshore cruise as the first barrier against sea power.

Of course, all logistical supplies of warships are distributed according to the highest standards, so you can rest assured. "

Although it is said that Ivan is working hard to defend the front line, but in fact at this time the high-level ideas are very consistent, and the possibility of Huggins organizing a sea attack again is very small.

Even if there is indeed a collusion with the "Deep Sea Brotherhood" that has been very active in recent years, it can drive some sea monsters.

But the sea is the home field of sea monsters. As long as they are on land, the garrison has sufficient confidence and is not afraid of just "a few" sea monsters.

On the contrary, on land, the interior of the city along the "Leyton Valley" is the most stressful task.

Therefore, in fact, the general did not make things difficult for Ivan, but just arranged normally according to the characteristics of the "Storm Horn".

It even specifically stated that even if a sea monster is encountered, the so-called front line does not need to directly intervene in the battle, as long as the information is sent back in time.

It can also be seen from this that the general has confidence in his own land defense force!

"No problem, Your Excellency General! I also brought the first batch of 'Song of the Siren' delivered this time. Are you interested in taking a look?"

Since it was a rescue mission, it was impossible to follow one's own temper when it came to someone else's land.

In fact, the general's arrangement is similar to what Ivan had guessed before. With the characteristics of the "Storm Horn", it can only perform tasks on the sea.

Not feeling as though he was underestimated as a fledgling, Ai Wen readily accepted the general's arrangement.

"Hahaha, of course, I've wanted to see him for a long time."

Aiwen's cooperation made the general also heave a sigh of relief. After all, he is not a soldier of his own country, although there are joint operations regulations of the alliance.

But this young captain ranked No. 1 in the "Navy Rising Star" is also a wunderkind, and if he encounters a thorn, he will have a headache. Although it is a defense, how can I use these precious lumps from various countries as ordinary soldiers?

‘Hey, I just hope that the next rising star from Ilya can cooperate like this! '
