Chapter 137
##137
The three battleships hired by Oriel couldn’t be alerted to the sudden appearance of a mysterious ironclad ship.
The nearest ship was sunk in an instant. Another ship is engaged.
Beep!
A single ship in the battle was on the verge of being taken aback.
“do… What the hell is that?!”
The mercenary leader leading the three ships could not hide his embarrassment.
“If it’s an ironclad ship of that type… He who played an active part in the Battle of Serang… … .”
“sh*t! You mean Count Leon!? no. Why is he siding with Derga’s pigs?”
It is questionable.
The leader knew well about Lian, who played an active role on the side of the Ingleson Kingdom.
Because they had participated as mercenaries the year before.
“Let’s put communication first!”
“ah… All right.”
Chi profit!
Not long after, a reply came from the Going Missha.
[No, why are you talking to me instead of fighting?]
“Wasn’t the fight waged on you?! We suddenly attack because we have some kind of resentment.”
The captain was horny.
[Suddenly. Isn’t it your fault that you came to war and loosened your guard?]
“no. Let’s say so. Then what is the reason for attacking us?”
[me. I am a supporter of Miss Patrasche Der. In other words, an alliance. Whoops!]
A child’s mean voice came through the communication port.
Buff!!!
At the same time, a white flag was raised from our ship.
It looked like it was going to surrender before it sank because it couldn’t fight.
“Those idiots!!”
The only remaining ship is the commander’s flagship.
He criticized the ships of the allied forces for surrendering, but he himself was not confident in dealing with the ironclad ships that moved swiftly.
“How on earth did that pear come to be?”
“just… Isn’t it the difference in the number of helmsmen… … .”
said the helmsman of the flagship.
Unlike the others, the helmsman could see it.
“you! Can you win?”
“That would be possible. leader. If I had skills like that, I’d be living in an empire where I’d be damned.”
“Ugh… ran away?”
“That ship is faster than I thought. I think I’ll catch up soon… … .”
In the end, there is only one option left.
“excuse me… Your Excellency Count Leon!”
[Why are you suddenly respectful?]
“Can’t you just let it go? Still, he’s a comrade we fought alongside… … .”
[comrades?]
“We also participated in the naval battle with the Serang Empire.”
[Oh~]
Ryan’s exclamation.
He seemed to be thinking about it for a while.
“I will send you.”
said Ryan.
The exterior of the Going Misha looks fine, but it is not without damage from the previous fight.
If you overdo it here, you will have to spend another time repairing it.
“I’ll let you go this time, thinking of the bond we fought together.”
[thank you. dismissal!]
The leader, not knowing what was going on, ran away.
You never know when your mind will change.
“Count. why are you just letting it go? The ship took some damage, but it’s good enough to fight… … .”
Hriamin expressed his doubts.
I thought that this would be fine because I learned something from Lian, who usually handles my stomach roughly.
“There is no need to engage in a battle of attrition with an enemy you do not need to fight. As for the loot, that one is enough.”
A boat floated nearby, waving a white flag in surrender.
You can pay the ransom and release them. You can take a look at the situation and transfer to this side.
It was a car that needed more personnel to rotate the crew members working on the Going Missha.
“And I can’t use it if I’m too kind-hearted~”
Perhaps an enemy who escaped will give you a rumor.
He didn’t just watch it, he sent it to a comrade who had participated in the war on the same side.
When there is a big war ahead, the mercenaries will try to be on Lian’s side.
Unless, of course, the financial opportunity cost is not great.
“Porter Samchun.”
“yes yes. west… Captain!”
“Send a signal and send it to the port.”
“All right.”
For now, I was thinking of entrusting the management of prisoners to Mayor Patrasche.
until the end of the war.
“Hurrah. Go to the port and get a boat.”
“yes! Count.”
Lian went out to the bridge and headed for the bow.
Shaaa!
A cool sea breeze came and hit me.
“Kyaa~ This is so sweet.”
Lian put one leg on the stern and took a cool pose.
Some of the sailors who saw it shook their heads, but it also looked cool depending on the viewer.
‘Count. You are so cool… Not only steering skills, but also commanding skills… … !’
Hria Min looks at it with bewildered eyes.
‘Ohh~ too. young master! me too!!!’
Charlotte goes near Lian and imitates the pose.
‘me. really. You came to save me!!’
Baron Patrasche Der, who came to the port on a palanquin to meet him.
Her cheeks were quivering from excitement.
Crunchy!
The Going Missha arrived at the port.
Originally, Patrasche did not expose himself outwardly, caring about the eyes of others.
“Count Leon!!!”
She came out of the palanquin and greeted Lian.
“You got prettier while I didn’t see you. Baron Patrasche.”
“Please don’t make fun of me. Count.”
Patrasche, whose moon-like face was red.
“I don’t know anything else. My skin seems to have improved…”
“I changed the cake I usually eat… … .”
I knew it was polite, but it was Patrasche who answered shyly.
It was very large, but there was a secretly cute corner.
“Can I use the port prison?”
“Is it because of the surrendered ship over there?”
“yes. or pay the ransom Or separate those who turn to our side.”
“I will tell the guards.”
Dublin Harbor is large.
Of course, there were enough prisons. There was also a separate guard to manage.
“The sun is not good for your skin. Come on in.”
“yes… Count.”
Perhaps because he didn’t go out, Baron Patrasche’s skin certainly looked good.
“city… Have you eaten?”
Upon arriving at the mayor’s mansion, she asked cautiously.
“I want to figure out the situation before eating.”
“yes! Come this way… … .”
In the room she led me to, there was a plan board.
It was also possible to grasp the rough disposition of forces between friendly and enemy forces.
“see… That’s four times the difference. It seems that the plan was made on the other side… … .”
“I received support from Count Oriel… … .”
Patrasche is depressed.
She had to rely on mercenaries, but things got tangled and she couldn’t gather enough troops.
“Twelve hundred people… … .”
The opponent even mobilized conscripts.
At least the Dublin port is a large axis, so the number of citizens residing there was quite a bit.
They had been conscripted into the militia, so they were barely holding on.
pop! Beep!!
Occasionally, the sound of artillery fire could be heard from the direction of the castle walls.
It seems that the enemy side has mobilized the abrasion.
“It won’t last long.”
“Why is this side not responding? You can move the coastal guns to the wall.”
“There is only a large gun, so there is no proper place to mount it on the wall.”
The walls also existed in form, but were not very strong.
That’s why Dublin Harbor belongs to the Earl of Der, so there’s nothing to be attacked from the inland side.
If it complements the walls, it’s no different than advertising that Dublin Harbor has other ideas.
“Do not worry. I am here.”
“Even a count can overcome the army gap… … .”
Even if all the crew of the Going Missha were mobilized, the number of troops was still insufficient.
At least, the odds of success on Mercury are slightly higher.
It is an established theory that three to five times as many troops are needed to attack the fortress wall.
In addition, among the horse cannons installed on the Going Missha, there will be small hemp cannons.
“If you look at the number of troops, we may be at a disadvantage, but if you look at the terrain, we have an advantage.”
“yes? Rather, aren’t we at a disadvantage?”
Patrasche tilted his head.
A low castle wall barely functioning as a defense and not knowing when it might collapse.
Even if they tried to open the gate and go out, the enemy camped on the high ground.
It looks like a war that will end only with defense.
“Look here.”
Lian pointed to the map.
“no way… … .”
“yes. We will set up batteries here.”
Ryan smiled brightly.
It looks like it’s shining brightly.
It was Patrasche who did not dare to make eye contact and averted his gaze while blushing.
* * *
The eldest daughter, Julia Der Jinhyeong.
“Why hasn’t the wall been broken down yet?”
Nervous, she takes out her anger on her subordinates.
“It will collapse sooner or later… … .”
“How the hell do artillery soldiers do their usual training, so they shoot with medium heat like that?!”
She glared at Mibiang like she was going to kill her.
“sorry. Lord… … .”
Mibiang was to die for.
‘no. If it wasn’t for my money, I wouldn’t have even smelled the gunpowder from the hemp, let alone artillery!!’
It’s been a while since I made artillery, so I admit that the training level is not good.
However, if you think on the contrary, the training was difficult because it was a unit that had not been established for a while and had no tradition.
Since artillery was just beginning to be used in land battles, it was difficult to find an instructor anywhere.
“If you don’t break down the wall tomorrow, I will slit your neck as an example.”
“that… that… … .”
“I mean, even if you stay up all night, you’re going to fire!”
She threatened and left the command post.
“under… that personality! Looking at your eyes, I think you’re really going to slit my throat… Should I just run away… … .”
Mibien felt a chill in her throat.
Frustrated, he also went outside and wandered around.
however.
Shashak!
I heard the sound of grass being trampled on somewhere.
“who… who!!”
Surprised, Mibiang turned her head.
“I am a priest who serves the god of war.”
The figure of the priest reflected in the pale moonlight was very beautiful.
“Ahh… … .”
Divine power that gently exudes.
The other party opened it up to prove their identity.
‘for a moment? God of War?!’
After being enchanted by her appearance for a while, thinking about her identity sent chills down her spine.
“buy… What business does the priest have with me… … .”
“They told me to deliver this to the deputy knight commander.”
“yes? who… … .”
“You shouldn’t look.”
Seina put down a piece of parchment on the floor and disappeared in an instant with the darkness.
Losing his gaze right in front of his eyes, he blinked.
It was like a dream.
“sh*t!”
If it weren’t for the parchment in front of me.
“If you get caught, you really die.”
It doesn’t matter what it contains.
From nob le mt l. com
Judging from Julia’s tyrannical personality, she would be suspicious.
Shashak!
Mibiang hurriedly put the parchment into her bosom.
He moved to his barracks.
‘Why did you do this to me, who has no power? … .’
The short-lived man pulled on a blanket and unfolded the parchment.
Shouldn’t you read it first?
‘Leon… count?!’
I had met you before.
He was a good-looking person and kind to himself.
‘When a disadvantageous situation comes, respond to yourself… … .’
I don’t know what the hell you’re talking about.
First of all, there were surprisingly many knights and veterans who were dissatisfied with Julia.
In addition, some of the troops were hired with their own money as a standing army.
‘The problem is that we have too much advantage…’ … .’
There is no reason to respond.
Dublin’s strength and level are already known.
‘Rather than that, how did Earl Leon get into Dublin?’
From nob le mt l. com
Judging from the contents of the parchment, it is highly likely that Count Leon wrote this letter himself.
The problem is that the port is blocked by three warships hired by Count Oriel.
‘One floating ship would be all… no way!’
Thoughts flowed very simply.
Breaking the blockade would not be difficult if more than three ships were brought in.
‘Maybe they hired pirates… … .’
Pirates also work as mercenaries on the sidelines.
Unlike professional mercenaries, it is very difficult to control, so combat power is guaranteed.
‘then… … .’
If you catch 300 to 500 people per ship, it will be similar or more.
From nob le mt l. com
Judging from the contents of the letter, it seems that you are confident.
‘There must be more, right?’
A force of the same level would not be able to break through here.
There were many flaws in Dublin’s walls.
Rather, the attacking side is on higher ground.
‘There’s no way you don’t know this. Obvious!’
Goosebumps seemed to run down Mibien’s back.
If he hadn’t made friends with Lian, he might have had to face the enemy without knowing this fact.
‘God didn’t abandon me.’
Moreover, the priest I just met was the God of War priest.
I can’t rest in peace even in death.
‘I must prepare. Julia, that b*tch really sucks!’
