296 The Unique Tactics of the Snake Cult
It was two days later that Link learned that the Snake Cult began to invade a large amount.
The discussions in the chat group later made Ashley very surprised.
"What? The Snake Cult's army has begun to enter the Golden Sea? Why haven't I heard the news yet?"
The empire invested a large amount of materials and manpower on the routes of the old and new continents. Ashley completely disbelief that the Snake Cult army could break through the defense line so quickly and come to the Golden Sea.
Bai Ge has been under house arrest and restricted travel, and cannot bring them more detailed information about the Snake Cult.
Then, after knowing that Parker had eliminated the main force of the Nord Navy, Link finally stopped worrying.
Three thousand Miluo Island soldiers were left behind, and with the remaining Miluo Island legions and warships, they hurriedly returned to support Miluo Island.
With the reason why the Kingdom of Nord does not have enough persuasiveness, it is impossible to take a large-scale offensive action against Vigia.
What's more, the Nord Navy suffered heavy damage in a row, so it will definitely be more cautious.
So Link felt that the three thousand elite Miluo Islands were enough to deal with Virgia's troubles.
Although he was ready to use Vigia as a way out, Link was still unwilling to give up the base camp of Miluo Island easily.
Miluo Island and its surrounding affiliated islands have already had a very mature handicraft base.
The development of many workshops and docks on the island is huge.
Without a last resort, Link would never give up like that.
On the way home, Link also learned about the specific situation from Ashley.
It turned out that the Snake Cult had no idea of various reasons and gave up the mainstream naval combat methods in various countries, that is, competing for the number of main warships and fighting with the string jump gang.
Instead, a large number of Clippers fleets were selected to fight.
"Clippers? Good guy, didn't that just kill the Imperial Navy?"
Link was a little puzzled. He did not compete with the Snake Cult's expertise in ground-burning soldiers and shipbuilding, but used small three-masted warships to challenge the old naval power. This made no sense.
Then I thought about it and thought about my behavior of going to the coast of the old continent a while ago to "purchase goods".
‘It could be because of me?’
In fact, it does have a lot to do with Link.
Priest Bezos was very annoyed after failing to pursue Link and his fleet.
If you can't even deal with such an "imperial" fleet, how can you still fight the decisive battle with the Imperial Navy?
Thinking that one side could only count on those unreliable pirates, Bezos, who was the commander of the Northern Expedition of the Snake Cult, felt completely unsure.
After thinking about it, after discussing with many priests in the church, he finally gave up his original plan.
Fighting in the way of the Imperial Navy, for the Snake Cult, who has no experience in naval combat, is completely based on its own shortcomings and attacking the enemy's strengths.
So Priest Bezos thought of a magical method and mobilized tens of thousands of believers of the Snake Cult to arm more than 4,000 Clippers to make them commit suicide charges against the Imperial Navy fleet.
These clutchs are much smaller tonnage than ordinary three-masted clutches, and can only barely support them to sail at sea.
Each Snake Craft only needs two or three crew members, and more than a dozen sailors can operate it.
The boat is easy to operate. Under the training of pirates, these believers of the Snake Sect quickly mastered the simple way to control the boat.
These terrifying Snake Clippers, when they encountered the Imperial main fleet, directly stuck them in rushing to them.
As long as they approach the Imperial Warship, the Snake Sect believers will throw the prepared turtle oil onto the hull of the Imperial Warship, and then ignite a fire.
What's more, many crazy believers directly ignited their own Snake Clippers, praised the Snake God in the fire, and rushed towards the Imperial Warships.
Although the Imperial Battleship is well-made, the wooden hull still cannot withstand the combustion of tinder oil.
The Snake Cult Crusade often has more than a dozen clutches, swarming around an Imperial main warship, and the swelling flames are spread all over the Imperial warships.
The position below the ship's side also made the sailors on the Imperial Battleship not have time to put out the fire.
In this way, Priest Bezos defeated the Imperial fleet step by step with tens of thousands of believers of the Snake Cultivator who were not afraid of death and used the simple Clippers.
In less than a week, the Imperial Navy announced that the routes of the old and new continents had been lost.
This speed was so fast that Ashley, who was stationed on Shell Island, was dumbfounded.
Link also took a breath after hearing this.
"How much does the Imperial Navy fleet lose?"
"Conservatively estimated that at least 300 main warships, the crossbows on their warships, could not stop the crazy believers from charging.
The Imperial Warriors on the warship were unable to fight with the other party's gang, and they were burned to death."
Ashley's tone was filled with frustration.
She never expected that the imperial navy, which was invincible in various countries, would be defeated so miserably.
More than 300 main warships of the Empire and tens of thousands of imperial naval soldiers were exchanged for more than 3,000 garbage clutches from the Snake Cultivator and some believers of the Snake Cultivator.
"The most terrifying thing is that the soldiers of the Snake Cult Army have not yet joined the battle. The Imperial Navy has replaced them with only countless Snake Cult believers on the old continent."
"Where are the island fortresses on the routes of the old and new continents?"
Link couldn't help asking when he thought of this.
"These Snake Clippers fleets directly crossed the island fortress, and after defeating the main force of the Imperial Navy fleet, they returned to those islands for supply.
Without the support of the Imperial Navy fleet, the Imperial Warriors in the island fortress could not last long.
Now, the soldiers in the Snake Cult Army should be pulling out the defenders from the island fortresses one by one."
"hiss.."
Link took a long breath and felt extremely tricky.
I thought it was a dignified duel, but I didn't expect that the Snake Sect would not play according to common sense.
The command of the crazy believers to launch a suicide attack, and this tactic is that only cult forces like the Snake Cult can succeed and cannot be copied at all.
"So the Snake Cult army has not yet entered the Golden Sea?"
Link then asked, remembering his Mama Bobby power in the Golden Sea.
"It's almost there. The Admiralty has ordered the contraction of the defense line. Emperor Mallor is ready to fight the Snake Cult army on land.
The empire will definitely not be destroyed by the Snake Cult again!"
Ashley's words could not hide her tragedy.
As a child of a powerful family in the empire, she was educated to revive the empire since she was a child and worked hard for the rise of the empire.
However, reality gradually moved towards the abyss in her eyes, and the future of the empire became more and more confused.
Link was also a little irritated when he heard her words.
The Imperial Navy has shrunk its defense line and is likely to give up the Golden Sea.
Although Miluo Island is located on the edge of the Golden Sea, the Snake Sect’s goal is the empire.
But it cannot be ruled out whether Miluo Island will suffer from the disaster.
So Link quickly instructed Teresa to prepare for the transfer of Miluo Island.
On the other hand, prepare for war.
He would never give up easily without a real battle with the Snake Cult Army and the Empire and Snake Cult are clear.
