"Back then, the assassination attempt at the palace was apparently carried out by Bai Yan."
Alute's expression changed drastically. His Majesty had lost three fingers in an explosion caused by such a thing, and several elders were killed on the spot. This was no joke.
He didn't even care about anything else, and immediately turned around and ran towards the other end of the deck.
Unfortunately, it was too late. The bomb exploded the next second. Alute felt a sharp pain in his back, and then, as if struck by a tremendous force, he was sent flying.
He struggled to his feet with great difficulty, but it felt as if all his bones were broken, and he was in excruciating pain all over his body, causing sweat to pour down his face like rain.
He saw the location of the explosion and couldn't help but gasp.
Not only was a hole blown into the deck of the warship, but dozens of his own soldiers lay dead in pools of blood, several of them so badly mutilated that their bodies were incomplete. It was a scene straight out of hell.
"Boss, this is outrageous! This thing is incredibly powerful!" the henchman said, his face covered in blood and in pain.
Just moments ago, he was hit in the arm by a shard, and the pain was excruciating. But now he couldn't sit still, because this wasn't the time to feel pain; it was time to save his life.
Alute glanced around; enemy warships had already taken the opportunity to sneak up, subtly blocking his path. He was completely surrounded; in this situation, escaping was probably a pipe dream.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Sink their ships immediately! We absolutely cannot let them throw these things at us again, or the consequences will be unimaginable."
Judging by the terrifying power of this thing, if the enemy continues to attack, not only will our warship be sunk, but we ourselves will probably be blown to death. That's too terrifying.
The power of this thing far exceeded his imagination; no wonder His Majesty was so badly injured in the explosion.
If I hadn't run fast, I'd probably be nothing but bones by now.
"Yes!"
"Hurry up and get it to me, aim at that ship and sink it for me!"
Despite the excruciating pain, the deputy roared at the soldiers.
Whoosh!
The next barrage of stones hurtled towards the warships of the Great Liang Empire, attempting to sink them.
Unfortunately, this was ultimately wishful thinking.
The stones didn't land on the enemy's warship at all; instead, they fell directly into the sea, creating splashes.
The second-in-command's face darkened, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "Damn it, we're not far enough away to hit their warships."
This is a huge problem. I can't hit the other person, but they can hit me. I'm just getting beaten up for nothing.
really!
The next moment, several more jars identical to the ones from before flew up, causing Alute's expression to change drastically. He didn't care about anything else and jumped into the water immediately. There was nowhere to escape; the warship was far too dangerous.
Rumble!
Sure enough, after several explosions, the entire battlefield began to seep water, and then, under his despairing gaze, it slowly sank.
Meanwhile, attacks from the Great Liang Empire also began elsewhere, with a dense barrage of bombs and stones raining down, instantly inflicting heavy losses on the Moses Empire's army.
Many warships were sunk, and the number of naval soldiers increased, all struggling frantically.
Alute was pale; if he hadn't been a good swimmer, he would have almost drowned.
After struggling for a long time, he finally managed to climb onto a Moses Empire warship with the help of his confidants. Once back on the deck, he felt like he had escaped death; he had almost died there.
However, their current situation is no better than death, because the enemy's attack is too fierce. All they can see in the distance are massive boulders and bombs just like before, clearly indicating that the enemy's main force has arrived.
"What should we do now, Lord Alute? The enemy's attack seems much stronger than ours," the captain of the warship said bitterly.
The people around him nodded in agreement; this was more than just much better, it was far too much better.
Given the intensity of their attack, they had no chance to retaliate and might not be able to escape now.
Alute took a deep breath. He finally understood the pain Abide William had felt back then. The two were not even in the same league; the enemy had attacked him without suffering any casualties.
In other words, they were completely on the defensive, without even a chance to fight back, which was truly terrifying.
He gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "Leave some people behind to cover our retreat, and we'll prepare to escape."
Courage is useless now; it will only lead to more attacks from the enemy and more deaths on our side.
Rather than this, it's better to escape now and save your lives.
As for waiting for reinforcements, screw that! By the time they arrive, we'll be fish food in the ocean.
"Good!"
The people on the ship showed no intention of staying; they readily agreed.
If we don't run now, when will we? Are we going to wait until our own people sink to the bottom before we run?
Slap! Slap!
After a gong and drum sounded, the entire army of the Moses Empire began to flee for their lives, in a frantic and reckless escape.
At this point, who cares about the interests of the Moses Empire? The most important thing is to avoid being annihilated by the army in front of them. After all, there is glory in living, and death is the end of everything.
As for what other people do for you after you die, it's all for naught.
"Trying to run away now? They're really overthinking it." Jiang Wei couldn't help but laugh after seeing this.
Now that I've caught up with you, it's too late for you to run away. The battle at Moses Land was already relatively slow, and now that you've been caught, there's no way you can escape.
Chen Dao couldn't help but burst into laughter, exclaiming, "Perhaps this is why His Majesty established the Heavenly Craft Workshop and then created the Royal Academy of Sciences of Sciences. This makes the weapons and equipment of our Great Liang far superior to those of others."
In His Majesty's words, this is the power of science.
The enemy's warships are slower, weaker, and Great Liang offensive than those of the Liang. With such limited strength, it's no wonder they're doomed.
In this situation, their attempt to escape is even more outrageous.
If your warships aren't up to par, how do you expect to outrun them?
"Haha, that's none of my business. My mission is simply to take them down." Jiang Wei laughed heartily, his whole demeanor brimming with confidence.
With a wave of his hand, he brandished the command flag, and the fleet launched a full-scale attack.
