Memphitos, the port, the usual bustling and noisy place is much quieter today.
Soldiers stood with guns, clearing a large space on the pier like poles.
Looking boredly at the undulating sea, Brigadier General Moser, who was in charge of the city guard, had a grim look on his face.
Today is the day when the fleet of the Bald Eagle Kingdom arrived in Memphitos, and he greeted them here. A civilized person should have proper etiquette.
There is no doubt that this is not a good job. Thinking about the faces of those bald eagles, Moser felt uncomfortable for a while. The purpose of the Bald Eagle Kingdom's visit this time is mainly to exchange naval issues. The people waiting here should have been from the Navy, but the Commodore Neo Rommel of the Storm Fleet fell ill at this time.
A third-level transcendent actually fell ill when he said he was sick. He really dared to say it. Of course, what made Moser most helpless was that there were still people who "believed". However, Neo Rommel was sick and others were somewhat unqualified, so in the end this task fell to Moser, who was also a brigadier general.
At the beginning of 1521, the Bald Eagle Kingdom and the Anjiete Kingdom started a local war, and the iron-clad ships of the Bald Eagle Kingdom were brilliant. According to the plan, many shipyards started work at the same time, and built a sufficient number of armored ships at the fastest speed to completely replace sailing warships and build a new fleet.
With strength, there will naturally be ambition. In order to obtain greater benefits at sea and in the New World, the Bald Eagle Kingdom sent an armored fleet to the New World in the name of cruising, numbered 6 and code-named Red Eagle.
After the Red Eagle Fleet arrived in the New World, they visited the pioneering lands of other kingdoms in the name of exchanges. The Kingdom of Sutilt, who doesn't deal with it very much.
"Commander, according to the time they notified, the people from the Red Eagle Fleet should have arrived, why haven't they shown up yet?"
Looking at the pocket watch in his hand, an adjutant beside Moser spoke.
"Wait, maybe someone else is fishing at sea at this time."
Glancing at the sun, Moser closed his eyes again and sat on the armchair waiting patiently.
Although he is an army, he still has a clear understanding of the new fleet of the Bald Eagle Kingdom that has been buzzing in both the old and new continents during this period. Compared with the iron armored fleet of the Bald Eagle Kingdom, the mainstream is still the sailing warship Sutilt. We are obviously at a disadvantage in the navy. Under such circumstances, some places that can be tolerated must endure. There is nothing to say.
The Omar, the ironclad ship of the Bald Eagle Kingdom's visit to Memphitos, finally appeared at the port of Memphitos when the sun was faltering and Mosel, who had always been patient, couldn't help it.
The chug-chug roar sounded continuously, like the breath of a giant beast. It was the sound of a steam engine turning, and the black smoke column rose straight up. It looked ugly, but it was a magnificent sight against the background of the times.
Looking at this giant ship made of steel with a ferocious muzzle, Memphitus could not help but be amazed from the soldiers to the officers, and then there was endless silence, because such war monsters do not belong to their country.
"Let's go, let's go to greet him, we still have to do some face-saving work."
Breaking the silence and getting up, Moser walked to the berth first.
"Commander General, something seems wrong."
Arriving at the beach, the figure of the Omar was clearly visible, and the adjutant next to Moser noticed something was wrong.
Hearing this, Moser did not answer, his brows were slightly frowned, and he also realized that something was wrong.
According to common sense, after entering the port, the ship should start to slow down and then dock slowly, but the iron-clad ship Omar of the Bald Eagle Kingdom did not, and its speed did not slow down in the slightest compared to before.
"Everyone retreat immediately."
After getting closer and seeing some scenes on the ship with his extraordinary eyesight, Moser's expression changed and he issued an order for everyone to retreat.
Although the others had some doubts in their hearts, they were surrounded by soldiers. No one dared to disobey Moser's order, and quickly evacuated from the sea. The ship slammed into the port at an extremely fast speed.
Bang, there was a huge sound of collision, and then black smoke and flames began to intertwine, but the ironclad ship is worthy of being an ironclad ship, even under such circumstances, it was only partially damaged. Although it looked a little serious, it actually had no effect to its normal operation.
"Commander, what, what's going on here?"
Seeing such a scene, Moser's adjutant couldn't suppress the shock in his heart. He thought about many possibilities, but he didn't expect that the menacing ironclad warship of the Bald Eagle Kingdom would appear in such a way.
"It's troublesome."
With a sigh, Moser's face became ugly. The Omar was filled with black smoke, and their current position was a little far away, so ordinary people couldn't see the scene clearly on the ship, but Moser, who is an extraordinary person, Er could see clearly.
"Go and ask the count to come."
"Yes, Brigadier General."
Seeing Moser's gloomy face, the adjutant didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately turned around and left.
At night, the port is brightly lit.
A large number of soldiers blocked the water around the port, and no one could approach here except official people at this time.
The Omar docked quietly on the shore, like a sleeping monster. After a simple rescue, the fire caused by the impact on the Omar has been extinguished. At this moment, all the top dignitaries of Memphitus boarded This ironclad ship, including Commodore Neo Rommel, who was previously called sick.
"What exactly is going on?"
Looking at the scene on the iron-clad ship, some nobles couldn't help but cover their mouths and noses with handkerchiefs, lest they couldn't help but spit out. You must know that nobles who choose to open up the New World in this era have courage, regardless of their actual ability. Ordinary things do not frighten them at all.
"Is there any result?"
Standing at the bow of the boat, turning a blind eye to the blood on the ground, Asim looked calm.
"My lord, after our tests, the death time of these people should have been a day ago. The cause of death is the same. Everyone on the ship was beheaded, without exception, it's just"
Having said that, the affairs officer in charge of surveying the scene hesitated.
"explain."
His eyes sank, and Asim's voice was full of doubts.
"It's just that the blood of all the dead has not coagulated, and it is still oozing out slowly, which is contrary to the time of death we obtained before."
Without hesitation, the affairs officer immediately made a strange discovery.
Hearing this, Asim didn't feel much surprise. This incident seems to be contrary to common sense, but the extraordinary world has some means that can completely form a similar scene.
"Is that all? Are there any other discoveries? For example, traces left by the murderer."
"No, no, Earl, it's very strange. We checked back and forth several times, but we didn't find any trace left by the murderer."
As he spoke, beads of sweat oozed from the clerk's forehead.
"I see, bring someone to check it carefully."
"Yes, Lord Earl."
Without embarrassing the officer, Asim asked him to check it again to prevent mistakes.
"My lord, I'm afraid there will be some trouble this time."
I don't know when, Neo Rommel, who has gray hair but still walks like a lion, came to Asim's side.
"Yes, there will be some trouble."
Looking far away, looking at the dark sea, Asim's voice was a little erratic. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
