    Chapter 35: Carrying the Trophies

    After fighting for an hour and a half, the Elantra army finally landed completely on Cape Watch Port, and both sides engaged in a naval battle.  Elantra lost 5 large and small ships, and the Combined Fleet lost 37 warships. Although the coastal defense forces set fire to warships and warehouses during the final retreat, only a limited number of 2 ships were burned, and the rest burned some canvas weapons, but the main body of the hull  Still not affected.

    In this battle, the Elantra fleet captured 4 large slurry warships, 17 medium-sized warships, and 26 small warships. Although some of the masts and canvas of these warships were damaged, they were repaired and could still be used normally.

    Lin Fenghan stood next to the huge trebuchet, climbed to the height of the wooden platform and looked at the city wall at Cape Haiwang not far away, and said in shock: "Damn, the city wall at Cape Haiwang is simply too tall and majestic.  "

    "Yes! This city uses a double-layered city wall. The first layer of the city wall is eight meters high, and the second layer of the city wall is 20 meters high. Some hills and rocky areas are up to 30 meters high. It is simply difficult to break through!" Ali looked at it  Such a strong city wall, he shook his head helplessly.

    "Uncle, they have cut off all the ropes of this trebuchet and taken away the rope wooden disc. Can we repair it and use it?" Lin Fenghan said with a frown as he looked at the arm-thick ropes that were broken into two sections.

    Ali carefully picked up the noose and analyzed it carefully: "We can re-tie the rope and repair it, but the power of the trebuchet will be reduced by more than half. The projection angle, projection distance, and shell weight must be carefully considered."

    "Well! It's noon, let's go eat first! The battle this time is really tragic."

    "Yes! This time we suffered nearly 70 casualties and lost 5 warships. However, the enemy refused to surrender and the losses were even worse. We fought several wars. I feel that this war is the real war."  Kelande said with sympathy.

    "Baron, the orderlies have prepared the meals and are waiting for you to go now."

    "Well! Pay attention to the alert and tell the light infantry centurions on duty to stay vigilant."

    "yes!"

    ¡­¡­

    Lin Fenghan, Ke Langde and others quickly walked towards the warehouse at the port after observing the tight defense at Cape Seaview.

    Cape Seaview is located in the easternmost part of the northern part of the Southern Continent. It is a place that protrudes from the mainland. It is located in the middle north of the Dolphin Bay of the Kingdom of Dambreth and is at the outlet of the Kingdom's mainland.

    The business in Cape Seaview is very developed, and many wealthy businessmen and nobles buy villas and houses here.  The environment here is also very beautiful. The city of Cape View, which spits out the mainland, is surrounded by water on three sides, seven kilometers from east to west and one to five kilometers from north to south. The city covers an area of ??nearly fifteen square kilometers.

    The walls were built on rocks, hills, and cliffs.  The population is between 20,000 and 30,000 people.  As a descendant of the founding family of Dambreth Kingdom, the Brandt family has great power in the southern continent of the kingdom, and this city is one of his fiefdoms.

    At this time, countless citizens and businessmen in the city of Cape View were in panic. In order to defend the city of Cape View, Viscount Lu Linsen frantically recruited militiamen, civilians, and many fishermen and businessmen from the residents of the city. They were forced to walk out of their homes.  He took out his spear, sword and shield and walked towards the city wall.

    On the east tower of Cape Seaview, General Heifer frowned and looked at the huge trebuchets and rows of crossbows at the Port of Cape Watch five or six hundred meters away. The crossbows said worriedly: "General Makar  , we now have four hundred oarsmen, three hundred sailors, and a thousand-man city defense team in the city, but I am still very worried!"

    "Yeah!" Makar also looked worriedly at the Elant army slowly forming their formation outside, and complained: "Tutus abandoned most of the ballistas, bows, and crossbows used in our city defense on the harbor, especially the huge one.  The threat is too great."

    "Uh!" Tutus defended with a red face: "That huge trebuchet is specially used for coastal defense. It is fixed on the central hillock on the three coasts of the port. It cannot be moved at all. It is used to hit the north, east, and south.  You can do everything, but you can¡¯t turn around and hit the city of Cape Watch. This is something that has been taken into consideration at the beginning of the design.¡±

    Viscount Lulinsen also helped Tutus defend himself at this time: "Our city wall at Cape Seaview has a history of more than 500 years. It was built from the last dynasty. After so many years of construction, the city wall is very strong. The outer city wall is averagely high.  The sand layer is eight meters outside, and the inner city wall is ten meters higher than the outer city wall. The city itself is built on a place where the terrain is higher than the beach. If Elante wants to climb up and attack the city, he will definitely pay a bloody price."

    Heifer said solemnly: "Don't forget that the Elantra fleet also has a huge long-range trebuchet, which is called a bronze cannon by the fishermen. It is rumored that the five-meter-high wall of Waterdeep City was shot by this kind of cannon.Crush it several times.  "

    Viscount Lu Linsen turned pale for a while, and he cheered up and said: "The city wall of Waterdeep City was only built a few decades ago and is not as strong as Cape Watch. What's more, I have sent a flying pigeon to send a letter to notify the garrison at Cape Watch to return. As long as everyone  After surviving the afternoon, our regular army of 3,000 people will march back in a hurry at night, and Elante's army will not be able to break through here at all."

    "Um!"

    "Um!"

    "Um!"

    Heifer, Makar, and Tutus looked at the more than a hundred warships parked densely in the Cape of Seawatch, as well as the crossbows being deployed at the port. The small Elantra fleet nodded in agreement.

    "My dear nephew, we are prosperous."

    "Yes! Baron, we really made a fortune this time."

    ¡­¡­

    Ali, Ke Langde, Ma Youden and others looked at the weapons, equipment, food, and coins collected from the port warehouse and laughed.

    Emina's face turned red and she read excitedly: "Baron, there are about 5,000 bags of grain in the warehouse here, each bag weighing 100 to 170 kilograms. There are nearly 2,000 iron swords, more than 1,000 leather armors, more than 1,000 crossbows, and more than 500  Bows and arrows, nearly 300,000 bows and arrows, nearly 200 crossbows and catapults of various types, as well as military uniforms, canvas, ropes, etc.¡±

    "Well! Very good. Emina, thank you for your hard work. I will give you three a raise at the end of this month." Lin Fenghan smiled and touched Emina's face.  Amidst the unkind expressions on Iona and Aishina's faces, they slightly encouraged.

    Lin Fenghan turned around and looked at Ma Youdun, and said seriously: "Order those prisoners of war to carry weapons, supplies, and equipment, and the troops in front of them will arrange their catapults."

    ¡°And uncle, it¡¯s been an hour, has the giant catapult been repaired?¡±

    Ali ate the bread and grilled fish hungrily, and said quickly: "I have just ordered them to repair the rope. It should be almost done. They can install the rope later and adjust the position to launch the cannonballs."

    "Well! Our main task is currently to transport the loot."

    "Order the trebuchet troops and the artillerymen of Hailan, Hailan 1, Hailan 2, and the bronze cannon to be ready. At about two o'clock, I will fire the cannon to test how strong the city wall of Cape Seawatch is."

    "yes!"

    ¡­Everyone is slowly getting ready.
