Chapter 1038 Hell Burner
The stone monster grabbed one of the necks of the Hydra with the other hand and pulled it hard to break the snake's head! This stone monster is extremely heroic and fights hard, and he doesn't fall behind!
Akan and others secretly stayed away from the war zone and watched the battle. This is a good fight! The giant crab was finally smashed by the stone monster, and two big claws were also broken! But the stone monster also paid the price of one leg! The winding tactics of the Hydra have no effect on the powerful stone monster. Only the venom can indeed corrode the body of the stone monster, but it is also very limited. Even if the body of the stone monster loses the protection of the rune and is no longer as strong as metal, it is also made of stone, and the Hydra's sharp teeth can't bite! It's just that the stone monster has lost its ability to recover. The stone legs and feet broken by the giant crab can no longer be connected to the body...
The Hydra lost the help of Cancer and was thrown to the ground by a stone monster. With a huge stone fist, its body was smashed! Nine heads were smashed into meat cakes one by one!
But even if the Hydra dies, its blood is highly poisonous, and it still constantly erodes into the body of the stone monster and constantly corrodes it. The stone monster didn't know, but just smashed the Hydra into meat sauce, and his body was stained with the flesh and blood of the Hydra, constantly emitting fishy white smoke. Aken in the distance can even see stone powder tablets falling on the body of the stone monster.
"It's time for us to go!" Aken raised his axe, shouted, and rushed up first!
The stone monster that lost the rune protection has been eroded by the flesh and blood of the Hydra, and is already fragile! And if it loses one leg, it will no longer have the ability to move! Akan and Green Wing's two-handed axe and two-handed sword easily cut off its other leg! The stone monster that fell to the ground still waved back with its giant stone arm.
However, when a rope net traps it, such a fragile counterattack is difficult to maintain. Before the rope net was torn and corroded, Acan Green Wing and Riyadh Wolf and others smashed it into pieces and finally smashed the stone monster into pieces! I guess it can't stick! Everyone fell on the beach exhausted...
"Is the ship repaired..." Xuanyuan asked.
Rebecca ran over with her red hair, "Report Uncle Akan, it's time to set sail..."
............
Drake really deserves to be the 'Demon King of the Sea'! A raid dispersed the Spanish fleet. However, he did not find any trace of landing troops in this port. So instead of chasing the fled Spanish fleet, he continued to search along the coast of France. Because he can see that the fleet should not have found the Duke of Parma.
Acon's gunboat followed Drake's fleet far away. It had just been shocked on the shore, so that everyone had not recovered. Fortunately, the stone monster never appeared on the ship, otherwise the ship would have been scrapped long ago! In fact, we don't know that such a stone monster is set to attack the ringers on land. If it appears at sea, it is easy to be overturned into the sea by the ring holder. The combat effectiveness is not as strong as everyone thinks. No matter how powerful the monster is, it has weaknesses.
On the other hand, the Spanish fleet fought with the British fleet again, and the two sides still couldn't do anything about it. The British ship hid from the Spanish ship as usual and was invincible without letting them exert the power of the battle. Duke Medina had no choice but to know that his fleet could not defeat its opponents at sea, so he had to let the fleet set sail and pick up the landing troops in the direction of Kale. Anyway, it depends on the army to conquer Britain. What's the effort with their navy!
Lord Howard of the United Kingdom immediately followed and drew up a battle plan for a fireboat to attack the Spanish fleet at the anchorage on the Royal Ark. This 'Hell Burner' fireboat attack tactic once hit the Duke of Parma's fleet in Antwerp three years ago, causing it to lose more than 1,000 people!
This is also a big problem that the precepters of the Spanish camp need to face. If history is allowed to develop, this fireship attack will be fatal to the Spanish fleet! Even the turning point of this 'British and Spanish Sea Battle' battle scene! Although the fireboat did not burn any ship, the terrible collapse brought the Spanish fleet together again.
And in the panic anchoring, most ships cut off the anchor ropes of the two anchor positions, so they can only drift with the waves and can't berth! Then he was able to be defeated by the British fleet. And most Spanish warships have no shells. I could only watch the British warship approach with a ferocious smile and bombard them into pieces at close range!
However, at present, due to Eisen's layout, British ammunition supplies have been blown up, and the British have also run out of ammunition. Even if the Spanish fleet can be dispersed, the whole invincible fleet cannot collapse as in history! This is destined to make it very difficult for Britain to stop Spain's landing by sea war this time!
The fleets of both sides arrived along the coast of Kale. As in history, the governor of Kale warned the Duke of Medina, the commander of the Spanish fleet, that the anchorage here would be very dangerous. But the fleet could not have been drifting at sea, so they anchored all night. The anchorage of the British fleet is not far from them, only a few nautical miles away.
At this time, there is good news for the British. Due to the intervention of the Drake fleet and the Dutch fleet, the sailors of the Spanish landing force were scared away. This is similar to the historical situation. Aken's layout has been successful, and the transport ships of the Panya landing force cannot leave the port smoothly!
Aken's gunboat has anchored with Drake, who went out for a circle but was empty-handed, in the nearby bay, waiting for the arrival of the final battle. Now Aken is increasingly doubtful about the purpose of Eisen's layout. Because so far, his change in this battle has not been so thorough, that is, to allow the Spaniards to land on the British coast!
"Wuff, if you are Essen, what's the point of doing this?" Aken stood in the bow of the boat and looked at the phosphorescence on the sea in the distance.
"Let's wait until now. It is almost impossible for the Spanish army to land in England. Maybe Eisen just wants the Spanish fleet not to fail. Wolf held the ship's hand on the port and expressed his opinion.
Aken thought for a moment and shook his head, "Then why did he do such big tamping at the gathering place of the landing troops just to attract our sight? He spent a lot of money and bought so many transport ships!"
Wuff said helplessly, "I don't understand. It's not like Eisen's style to exchange such a big price for an unsuccessful plan. It is impossible for him not to consider our intervention and make this plan abort!"
Aken asked doubtfully, "If his purpose was not to let the Spaniards land in Britain, what would it be?"
"I don't know!" Wolf is very straightforward. This kind of thing is beyond his intellectual understanding, and he won't think about it at all.
"In two hours, the British fireboat attack will begin. Let's go and have a look..." Arken ordered to anchor and berthed to the anchorage of the Spanish fleet.
In the distance, the skylight gradually lit up, and a red sun reflected the morning glow, jumping up...
............
The English Channel in the early morning is more peaceful than ever. Both huge fleets raised flags representing their own royal family. But they are not going to fight a life-and-death battle! It's negotiation...
At the moment when the eight fireboats in England were about to attack the Spanish fleet, a messenger ship suddenly came out of the other side's fleet. Earlier, Lord Howard also received a letter from the Queen of London asking him to hold peace talks with the Duke of Medina on behalf of the royal family. Then he saw his enemy and expressed the same intention...
............
"It went well..." Zhang Fan looked very happy. For him, there was no better news than not fighting a war. I went to the Vatican, and the assassin went to Philip II. Pope Sixtus V is a very kind man. After I presented the Queen's letter to him, I thought it would take a lot of words, but I didn't expect him to agree to the truce soon! And personally read the book to Philip II to let the devout Catholic king stop the war! The royal knight assassin did not convince Philip II at first. As soon as I arrived with the Pope's letter, there was a turning point..."
Aken frowned and listened carefully to Zhang Fan's report on the completion of the task. Suddenly, he interrupted Zhang Fan and asked, "You said that the Pope agreed to the armistice as soon as he received the letter?"
"Yes..." Zhang Fan was excited and was interrupted by Aken.
Aken heard the words, patted the table and laughed, "Aison! I, Aken, are not as good as you! Hey hey, we have so many wise and enlightened people together, and we still calculate for him!"
"What did you say?" Zhang Fan Riyadh asked in shock.
Aken asked the two of them, "What is the identity of that guy Eisen?"
Zhang Fan and Riyadh looked at each other in con's sight. Wolf sneered and shook his head and walked out of the cabin.
The green wing was puzzled, so he asked, "Eisen is dressed as a paladin, naturally..." The green wing also understood in an instant. Everyone knows Eisen's relationship with the Vatican. Zhang Fan said so smoothly that Eisen must have done his work behind it. That is to say, Zhang Fan's layout strike was originally in Eisen's calculation.
Or, it was Eisen's layout that guided Zhang Fan's thinking and stopped the battle! The advantage of this is that Eisen made the British fleet, which had the upper hand, take the initiative to demand reconciliation and pay a high political price. Because British scenes who don't know the historical ending don't know that they will win!
The British ringer, who knew that the British fleet would win, was scared by Eisen's layout and thought that the end of the battle would be rewritten. He took the initiative to persuade Queen Elizabeth I, who was already inclined to peace talks, to convince her to the Pope and King Philip II of Spain. This oolong controlled by Eisen actually made the wise and enlightened minds of Zhang Fan's team deeply involved, and they thought that their layout would surprise the other party. It was not until the peace talks began that I realized that I was fooled!
