What's wrong with building a steel torrent in a dungeon?

"That... that makes sense."

At this time, the elf in the tree boat who was responsible for waving the flag looked back fearfully, and then said: "My lord, I have passed the information to the other side as you requested, and they did not fire at us. Can you... take the musket away from my head?"

"Take him down." The one who spoke was an elf commander. He waved his hand and took the elf down. Then he walked to the side of the ship, slowly raised the brim of his hat, and looked at the Moon Goddess Port in the distance.

"Commissar Durreni, at our current speed, we will only need about thirty minutes to reach the outskirts of Luna Harbor."

"Okay!" Durreni nodded, and then said, "Notify all comrades to prepare for battle and kill them by surprise."

The Elf Guild also joined the battle. Galannodir directly sent his most capable deputy, Durrenni, to lead the elites of the Elf Guild to drive the tree boat.

The ancient war tree began to attack, and countless earth elements were thrown high into the air. However, their target was not the tree ships where Durrenni was, but the Aurora fleet behind them.

The two super war ancient trees were extremely powerful. Every bombing would create huge waves. If they were hit by them, the Yukikaze class would probably be directly scrapped, not to mention that there were a large number of ordinary war ancient trees next to them.

Fortunately, the Orila fleet was still very far away from Luna Port, so the Earth Element's hit rate was very low. If they really rashly attacked Luna Port, I'm afraid the entire fleet would suffer heavy losses.

In order to avoid the bombardment of the earth element, the speed of the Orila City fleet had to slow down. The tree ship in front finally got rid of the pursuit and fled hurriedly towards the fortress near Luna Port.

Chapter 382 There is a Traitor

When the tree ships finally arrived at the dock, many elven soldiers immediately rushed out.

"Quick! Dock over there!" A commander quickly guided the crippled navy to the correct berthing location.

"Thank you so much!" Several ragged elves emerged from the treeboat, their faces full of scars from war, looking like they had been through a war. This made the elves in the port even more convinced.

After all, everyone knows that only the elven magicians can drive the tree boat.

The divine magician! He is the spokesperson of the god Shiloh, how could he rebel? The elves stationed there did not even think in that direction.

At the same time, the Aurora battleship in the distance continued to move forward. It did not turn around and leave because its prey entered its home. Instead, it went at full speed and rushed towards Luna Port.

"Quick! Enemy attack! Get ready!"

The military force of Luna Port had long been relaxed. Under the repeated urging of the officers on duty, the troops responsible for the guard finally arrived at their posts. They clumsily manipulated the city crossbows, catapults and other defensive fortifications on the shore and fired at the fleet in the distance, but one can imagine how inaccurate they were.

While they were preparing for defense, the warships of Orila City had reached their own fire coverage area. More than 20 Fuso-class warships turned sideways, revealing densely packed artillery on their sides, and then launched a fierce attack on the fortresses on both sides of Luna Harbor.

Boom boom boom!

A series of explosions sounded above the fortress, but the first round of bombing was blocked by the defense shield.

The fortress of Luna Harbor had been repaired for so many years, and there were countless ancient trees planted here. Because they were so old, their roots had penetrated deep into the harbor and became one with the entire fortress. Although this made the ancient trees unable to leave the ground, it gave them extremely strong defensive power.

Behind the guarding of the ancient tree, there are organized divine magicians responsible for infusing it with divine power.

After the first round of bombardment, nearly a quarter of the defense shields were broken up, but in just a few breaths, the defense shields were fully replenished. Not only that, more and more divine magicians were rapidly pouring into the port.

As long as the divine magician's power is not exhausted, the warships of Orila City will have no chance of breaking through this line of defense.

This gave the soldiers stationed at the port a glimmer of hope.

Although it's frustrating to be beaten all the time, at least I won't die!

According to the original defense concept of Luna Harbor, the impregnable port and the Saint Serux Fleet complemented each other, one responsible for defense and the other for offense, to fight a war of attrition with the other. In this way, even the most powerful fleet would probably be exhausted here.

During the Demon World War, the demons were unable to break through Luna Port, and after that, the dwarves did not even try and simply gave up the option of attacking Luna Port.

Unfortunately, the sharpest spears in the empire's seas have been broken in Freeport, and the elves can only hide behind their shields and endure the humiliating attacks of the 'invaders' artillery.

But these elf soldiers certainly could not have imagined that a monster had quietly extended its claws behind them.

And this monster was let in by themselves.

"Well, my dear comrades, you are back home now. You don't have to worry about these rude enemies." The officer of the fortress garrison came to the tree boat and said, "Please come down and have a rest."

His idea was very simple. He wanted to let the sailors take a good rest. When the tree ships were almost recovered, they would harass the enemy from the flank. Although the number of warships was indeed a little less, it was at least better than being completely passive. The report submitted to the Queen would also look much better.

However, he was answered with silence.

What's going on? All the elves present looked at each other in bewilderment.

Did I offend them with what I said? But that's true. The Saint Selux fleet had just been defeated and had been chased for so long, so it was normal for them to be sensitive.

So the officer reorganized his words and was about to comfort his colleagues, but suddenly he saw bursts of light on the branches of the ancient tree, and then the tree boat actually sailed straight ahead.

"Hey, hey, hey! What's going on? Is there something wrong with the magic array? Do you need our help?"

At this moment, the officer still didn't realize that there was something wrong with the tree boat. After all, nothing like this had happened in the past few hundred years.

It was not until the tree boat slowly sailed into the fjord where the ancient tree position was located that he vaguely realized that something was wrong, but it was obviously too late by then.

The vines on the tree boat were roughly pushed into the sea by the soldiers, revealing the true appearance of the ship's side, which was a row of cannons ready to fire.

After seizing the tree boats, Haverdan came up with this impersonation trick.

However, the number of divine magicians in the Elf Guild was really small, and it was already very difficult to drive these warships, and they were completely unable to command the vines to attack. What's more, the vines would only cause damage when they got close, which would also put the tree ship itself in danger.

So Haverdan worked with engineers to transform these tree boats.

They dismantled a large number of cannons and fixed them on the side of the tree ship. In order to avoid being exposed, they also fixed vines back to the side of the ship to cover the muzzles of the cannons. This decoration easily deceived the elves stationed there.

When the fangs are exposed, it is too late.

Boom boom boom!

Artillery fire like raindrops flew mercilessly towards the divine magician's position.

These divine magicians were concentrating on infusing their divine power at this time and had no idea that the attack would come from behind them.

The artillery fell into the position and instantly started a fire.

Every time a firebomb fell, huge sparks would rise. In order to show their different status from other officers, the divine magicians generally wore loose clothes with wide sleeves. They suffered a loss once when attacking the trolls, and now they suffered another loss in this place 108,000 miles away from the troll empire.

The complicated clothes became the most solid ally of the fire. After just one round of volleys, more than half of the fortress was engulfed in flames. A large number of divine magicians wailed, stripped off their clothes, and rolled on the ground frantically.

To be fair, the attack of the incendiary bombs did not cause much direct damage, but the flames they created made the divine magicians panic. Even the divine magicians who were not affected stood up in fear and ran to a safe place. As for responsibilities and positions, they were all thrown to the wind.

At the same time, the warships in the sea far away immediately discovered the fire from the fortress on the right, and adjusted their guns one after another, pouring fire towards that side crazily.

Chapter 383: The First Peace Talk

The fleet of Orila City poured all its artillery into the burning fortress on the right side of the port. After just one round of artillery fire, nearly one-third of the defense shields were broken, but this time, they could no longer recover instantly like before.

Another round of artillery attack.

Finally, the fort's defense shield became a leaky sky, and several shells fell into the fort, causing a lot of damage. The divine magicians who were hit were all bleeding and their limbs flew off.

The divine magicians stationed here were all descendants of great families and nobles. They did not dare to go to the front lines, but wanted to gain fame, so the prosperous, lucrative, and safe Moon God Port became their first choice, and it had been like this for hundreds of years.

We are here to make money! Not to die!

These divine magicians completely lacked the determination to fight to the death like the divine magicians from other legions! When they saw the defensive shield was broken, their morale collapsed instantly. All the divine magicians turned around and fled the fortress. Their rout soon turned into the rout of the stationed soldiers.

What a joke! The divine masters have all run away, so why are ordinary soldiers like us still staying here and fighting to our death?

Originally, with the garrison's strength, they were not without the ability to fight. As long as the army worked together, relying on the large number of fortifications along the way to snipe the tree ship, and then find a way to force their way onto the ship. With the current combat power of the tree ship, it was impossible to reach the endless elf soldiers.

As long as they can deal with these tree ships and restore the defense of the fortress dome, the Aurora fleet in the distance will still be helpless.

However, the elf soldiers stationed there had not experienced a battle for a hundred years and had no courage to face life and death. In addition, the divine magician set such a good example, and as a result, their morale collapsed in an instant. The soldiers also fled the fortress frantically.

The battle had not lasted long when this impregnable fortress, which had been maintained by the elves for nearly a hundred years, was unexpectedly lost so easily.

After easily occupying half of the fortress, the Orila fleet immediately turned its attention to the other half.

The commander of the fortress on this side was quite alert and did not allow the tree ships to enter the fjord directly. Seeing this, the tree ships launched a surprise attack. They were exposed early and had to withstand the crossbows and rockets and march towards the divine magician's residence with difficulty.

But it is not an easy task to slow down the speed of the tree boat, especially when they are facing a tree boat that is armed to the teeth with firearms.

Since they could not aim their artillery at the fortress for the time being, they could only aim at the soldiers on the shore. After just a few rounds of attacks, the entire coast was engulfed in flames, the soldiers fled frantically, and nearly half of the fortifications were destroyed.

The remaining soldiers hid behind the cover tremblingly, attacking the tree boat in vain.

Compared to the fortress on the other side, the soldiers here are brave enough, at least they have not retreated yet.

But this bravery could not last long.

When they saw that the fortress on the other side had completely fallen, a large number of soldiers had fled, and the entire fortress had become a purgatory, their morale immediately collapsed.

At this time, the tree ships finally entered the fjord, and the black hole artillery was ready. The Orila City Fleet in the distance dispatched more than ten Yukikaze-class battleships to rush towards the fortress.

The tide is gone.

Upon seeing this, the divine magicians abandoned their posts and quickly fled before the fortress turned into a sea of ​​fire. Their escape became the last straw that broke the camel's back for the entire garrison.

At this point, no troop in the entire Luna Harbor was able to muster the determination to resist. They dropped their weapons and followed their commander who ran faster than them, fleeing towards the north of Luna Harbor.

Just like that, the Luna Port, known as the strongest fortress, easily changed its owner.

From the time the tree ship appeared in sight of Luna Harbor to the time it completely sank, only eight hours had passed.

When Orila's fleet docked at Luna Harbor, the fires in the fortresses on both sides had been extinguished. Only charred rubble was left lying on the ground, like a silent accusation of the cruelty of war.

The soldiers of Orila City quickly occupied Luna Harbor, treated the surviving wounded, and searched for the remnants hiding in the ruins. Before night fell completely, the fleet commander Harald even built a simple defense line to prevent the night elves from raiding Luna Harbor and trying to take it back.

Unfortunately, Harald really overestimated the strength of the garrison troops. The whole night passed very peacefully without any attack. This made the flying thunder cannon and the dense rapid-fire guns useless.

The news of the fall of Luna Port spread throughout the Elf Empire at a rapid speed.

Although the failure in the battle with the trolls made the elven nobles angry and disappointed, that was all.

But now the fall of Luna Harbor was enough to make all the nobles feel deep fear, a fear of the country's demise.

As Fran said before, no matter how ugly the battle of the Troll Empire was, the elves would not mind it. If they wanted to hurt them, they had to go deep into their homeland.

And Luna Port is the top priority for the elves.

Its fall means that the entire Luna River will become the possession of the Orila City. The Orila fleet can use this long river that runs deep into the hinterland to wantonly attack and destroy large cities on both sides, and can even directly capture the capital of the elves - the Green Miracle.

For a time, the whole empire was in an uproar. Lucy Antiriel wrote many military orders in one day! She required all troops to gather towards the Green Miracle and ensure the safety of the capital. If the Green Miracle fell... Lucy Antiriel didn't know what would happen next.

Under the threat of life, the Elf Empire finally managed to mobilize some forces. The Elf Kings reluctantly put aside their hatred for each other and sent their best forces.

Previously, they had fought for power with the Queen, but that was based on the fact that the big framework of the empire was still in place. Now that the empire is about to collapse, what is the point of seizing more power?

But at this moment, a letter was handed to Lucie Antiriel.

Defeat and negotiate a treaty.

As long as Lucy Antiriel signs it, admits defeat, withdraws the troops that invaded the Troll Empire, and accepts a little bit of war reparations and a little bit of concession demands, the troops of Orila City will withdraw from Luna Port.

As expected, the letter was torn to pieces by Lucy Antiriel, and Fran's first request for peace talks failed.

Since the invasion of the demon world, the Elf Empire has never signed a peace agreement after defeat! At most, it was forced to sign a truce agreement with the dwarves. And because of this truce agreement, the queen at that time was nailed to the pillar of shame.

It is conceivable that if Lucy Antiriel signed the treaty of defeat, how would history have judged her?

Since they are unwilling to negotiate, the war will naturally continue.

After a brief rest in Luna Harbor, the Aurora fleet headed towards the Luna River in a mighty manner.

Chapter 384: My Own Master

Since Luna Harbor had not been breached in a hundred years, there was no effective defense inside the river. Apart from the dilapidated fortifications on both sides of the river, there was nothing that could stop the Aurora fleet.

The fleet had an unimpeded journey and soon arrived at the first city in the Luna River Basin - Kaguya City.

Kaguya City is a transit point between the port and other cities, and is also a transportation hub, so it is particularly wealthy. Of course, all this money is in the hands of the elven nobles. The elven civilians who lost their land were forced to work in the city as porters and laborers, and their lives were not much better than those of the boatmen of other forces.

When the fleet arrived at Kaguya Castle, the local nobles instantly abandoned this difficult-to-defend city and fled to a safe place with their families and valuables.

As for the Queen's ridiculous order (requiring them to snipe the enemy for at least a month), they had long forgotten it.

At ten in the morning, several explosions resounded through the gates of Kaguya Castle.

The Fuso's main gun aimed two shots at the city gate, instantly smashing the quaint, artistic gate into pieces. Then a large number of Aurora soldiers filed in.

At this time, the elves in the city had already burst into tears.

In their eyes, the races of Calradia were all barbaric races who ate raw meat and drank blood! When they arrived at such a rich city, it was easy to imagine what would happen. At this time, the elves with power and status had already fled, and the rest were all unarmed civilians, who were unable to organize an effective resistance.

Civilians were trembling in the city, waiting in vain for the butcher's knife to fall on their heads. Some elves had even prepared means of suicide, just waiting for the soldiers to kick open their doors violently so that they could die directly to avoid further suffering.

But the next day, the third day, the fourth day...

Not only were there no bloody or violent incidents over the past few days, but public security was even much better than before.

There were no more soldiers collecting protection fees on the streets, no more hooligans colluding with the nobles, and even less petty theft. Soldiers in Orila City would stand guard at key locations in the city every day, and would shoot provocateurs in the knees with a single shot.

Although the law enforcement is very strict and leaves no room for maneuver, they do not make it too difficult for ordinary people. As long as you do not violate the rules they set, they will never bother you and will just do their job conscientiously.
