Chapter 271 The war begins
The two light sailboats were circling on the sea, circling, circling madly.

It was obvious that they were scouting the coast for any movement.

I want to see the elves' defense arrangements.

But the people on the shore are not stupid, so they would not let them easily spy on their defenses.

Zhang Jingyi, who didn't know how to fight, didn't need the military advisor beside him to give him any advice. He waved his hand and ordered: "Dragon Eagle Archers, go and suppress these two light sailboats. Don't let them have it too easy."

Eight dragon eagle archers immediately flew out of the village.

Eight delicate and easy-to-pull elf ladies looked down from above, drew their bows and arrows, and shot at the deck of the sailing ship.

There were not many soldiers on the light sailing ship to begin with, and there were only a few scouts looking around on the deck. Now that the Dragon Eagle archers had arrived, these soldiers dared not stay on the deck and quickly dived into the cabin.

The Dragon Eagle archers fired several arrows at the deck, but the light sailboat ignored them, thinking that your arrows couldn't penetrate the deck. If you dare, come down from the sky and jump onto the boat, and see if your eight archers dare to come.

The dwarves were so angry that they jumped up and blew their beards. "Damn it, these caravels look down on us? They just float in the open sea and don't even run away when shot by archers."

Zhang Jingyi: "They bully us because we don't have a navy, so they are so calm. Don't be impatient, just wait a little longer."

Dwarves: "Ahh! I'm so anxious."

"How did such an impatient race survive?" A young elf lady couldn't help but ask curiously.

The old elf lady immediately gave the young man some scientific knowledge: "So the dwarves have never become a mainstream race. When their population is a little larger, they will die in large numbers due to recklessness in wars. Then when their population is only a little smaller, they can only serve as auxiliary troops for humans."

The dwarves: “…”

They were very angry after hearing this, but they didn't dare to be rude to the elf who was over 800 years old. This was quite embarrassing.

Just then...

Sails appeared on the sea again, and ten serious warships arrived.

The main battleships of the Desert Kingdom are 30 meters long, which are giant ships in the world. They adopt the typical Desert Kingdom style, not only with sails, but also with long oars. They are typical sail-oar dual-purpose ships.

When sailing long distances, they use sails to provide power, and in close combat, oars come into play, making them extremely maneuverable and flexible in naval battles.

Normally, there are 68 sailors on this type of ship, but in wartime they are fully loaded with soldiers, and each ship can carry an additional 150 sailors. Therefore, the ten ships can carry a total of more than troops.

As soon as these ten warships appeared, the sense of oppression was overwhelming.

The eight dragon eagle archers in the sky immediately abandoned the light sailing boats and flew towards the ten main warships.

The archers drew their bows and shot a few arrows at the soldiers on the deck.

But this time, the sailors did not hide. Instead, they took out their shields and [Shield Block], easily blocking the arrows.

Several sailors also drew their bows and aimed them at the sky.

They did this not to shoot down the Dragon Eagle Archer, but to force the Dragon Eagle Archer to rise higher. He dared not fly too low, as he would be shot by them if he flew too low. However, after rising higher, the Dragon Eagle Archer's shooting power and accuracy would also decrease.

A general of the Desert Kingdom walked out from the flagship. It was Akadula. His whole body was wrapped in a white robe, even his head was covered, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed. He took out a huge conch with amplified musical inscriptions engraved on it, and said to the shore: "Elves! We are a country, and you are just a small village. You have no chance of winning. We are not here to destroy you elves. We just want to obtain a hidden port. I suggest you abandon the village immediately and flee. We promise not to chase you..." Zhang Jingyi, Elizabeth, and the elves didn't even bother to pay attention to him and didn't answer.

The dwarf was furious: "Hit them, hit them!"

Zhang Jingyi turned around and said with a smile: "Why are you in such a hurry? It's not within range yet."

Dwarf: "Then scold them."

Zhang Jingyi: "The elves are always elegant and will not curse. If we curse back, they will know that there are more than just elves in the village, and our ambush will be ineffective."

Dwarf: "Ahhh, what trouble!"

At this time, in the eyes of Akadullah, the commander of the Desert Kingdom, what he was facing was just a quiet elf village that did not even react at all. The whole village was hidden in the woods and could not be seen clearly from the sea.

But this did not surprise him, because the legendary elves were like this, they were elegant and arrogant, and simply disdained to argue with humans. Even on the battlefield, if humans put out 500 cursers and brought eighteen generations of elves' ancestors, the elves usually would not say a word in return, but would only... cast a few spells or shoot a few arrows.

Akadula looked up at the eight dragon eagle archers in the sky who were helpless against him, snorted and said, "The elves can only send eight archers to hinder us. They are powerless to stop our attack... Send a message to the whole army, prepare to attack the village."

The command flag on the flagship was waved, and the entire fleet began to enter a state of combat readiness.

A large number of sailors suddenly poured out of the cabins of two of the ships. These sailors were not humans, but... Lizardmen!

They are one of the few "amphibious forces" in the Desert Kingdom. Friends who often die of thirst in the desert know that it is difficult to find water in the desert, so the sub-human species related to water in the Desert Kingdom are also very rare.

There is only one group of lizardmen in the coastal areas. They are not ordinary lizards, but a special species of lizardmen called marine iguanas. The only amphibious force in the Desert Kingdom, nothing else.

There were not many of them, only about three hundred, just enough to fill two warships.

One after another, they jumped into the sea from the side of the ship and quickly sank to the bottom of the sea.

After the Lizardmen entered the water, the warships began to move forward.

Ten warships, all with their bow cannons ready, aimed at the elf village...

"go ahead!"

The fastest warship soon came within range.

"Fire!"

At the captain's command, the magic cannon at the bow of the ship spewed out a fireball with a "boom". It was a strategic-level Pyroblast, charged by several magicians, accumulating a large amount of magic power. Then, the super Pyroblast amplified by the barrel flew out of the barrel and smashed towards the elf village.

The huge fireball flew towards the Elf Village, but when it was about ten meters away from the woods, it was suddenly blocked by a wall of air. A purple shield filled the periphery of the entire village...

The defensive magic circle is effective!

The pyroblast hit the shield and turned into a sky full of red light particles that spread in all directions. Cracks appeared on the shield, but it held on firmly.
