Chapter 5484 Ambush
"General Ge Wen, I just said that you are too concerned about these untouchables from the Snow Country."
"In the past, my empire just needed to establish an image of an enemy, so we deliberately let them survive until now."
"Now that I am personally leading the imperial army to the border, it would be fine if these Snow Country people escaped, but if they don't..."
The eldest prince's mouth curled up into a cold look. He was in urgent need of a great achievement to heal his damaged reputation.
Now all we have to do is conquer the Snow Country, and the achievement will come naturally.
"Um……."
Ge Wen just groaned, but his eyes were always on the more than ten warships in the vanguard.
The fleet of warships was gradually heading deeper into the snow country, towards the castle standing in the center of the ice field.
Just as the eldest prince was boasting about how to deal with the Snow Country people, suddenly a thick fog rose from the front and quickly enveloped the dozen or so warships.
"really!"
A gleam of light flashed in Ge Wen's eyes under his iron helmet, and he immediately raised his hand to signal the giant ship to stop.
"Ok?"
The eldest prince also came to his senses at this moment, looking at the thick fog blocking the road ahead with a puzzled look on his face.
"General Ge Wen, what's wrong with you?"
"It's just a bunch of thick fog, just go straight through it!"
The eldest prince spoke with an impatient look on his face, not realizing at all that the thick fog was caused by the Snow Clan’s inherent coldness.
"Your Highness, this is the thick fog formed by the Snow Clan's inherent cold energy."
"On the icy plains of the Snow Country, the Snow Tribe can exert their combat power many times more."
"If we rashly approach this thick fog, I'm afraid the soldiers on the warship will be frozen immediately."
Ge Wen listened to the eldest prince's meaningless words, suppressed his annoyance, and replied in a deep voice.
"What? Then stop the fleet first!"
"General Ge Wen, how do we break this thick fog?!"
The eldest prince looked anxious and asked Ge Wen hurriedly.
"Your Highness, we can break this fog by bombarding it with light cannons from a long distance."
"After all, this mist is generated by the Snow Clan's innate cold energy. As long as the caster is killed, the mist will dissipate."
"But at this moment, there are still vanguards exploring the way in the thick fog. I suggest..."
Ge Wen was about to give a safer suggestion, but he saw the eldest prince raised his hand.
"Shoot me!"
The eldest prince had no intention of listening to Ge Wen's opinion, and shouted orders to the soldiers on the surrounding warships.
"this……."
The soldiers on many warships looked at each other in confusion. They knew very well that in addition to the Snow Clan people, there were also their comrades in the thick fog.
Now the eldest prince actually ordered them to use naval guns to bombard indiscriminately. This act of not caring about their lives was undoubtedly chilling.
The eldest prince could abandon the lives of other soldiers so easily, so why would he care about their lives?
What's more, the eldest prince's behavior at this time was completely different from the eldest prince they knew in the imperial city.
Some soldiers even began to suspect that the prince in front of them might be impersonated by someone else.
"What are you all standing there for? Didn't you hear what this prince said?"
"If you don't take action now, I will report the current situation to my father when I return to the empire!"
Seeing that the soldiers around him had not taken any action for a long time, the eldest prince's eyes flashed with anger and he shouted sternly.
“Yes, sir…”
Upon hearing this, the officers and soldiers on the fleet responded reluctantly.
They immediately moved the ship's guns, aimed at the thick fog in the distance, and began a new round of concentrated fire.
"hateful……."
Ge Wen stood beside the eldest prince and clenched his fists secretly.
Although he is the iron wall of the empire, he is known as a man with an absolutely firm will.
But this does not mean that Ge Wen is a heartless person. On the contrary, he is deeply loved by his subordinates because he cares for them.
But at this moment he was facing the eldest prince who represented the royal authority, and he was unable to express his anger at all.
Ge Wen really couldn't bear to watch this scene of fratricide, so he could only turn his head slightly.
His clenched fists represented the anger that was being suppressed in his heart.
Just as the laser cannons on the warships were about to fire, suddenly countless round black shadows flew out from below them.
The incident happened suddenly and no one was prepared in advance. They could only watch these things hit the warship.
There was a snapping sound, like glass breaking.
The previously hidden shields on the warships suddenly appeared and quickly shattered into pieces of light.
"what happened?!"
The eldest prince looked at all this in astonishment. Having never been to the battlefield himself, he had no idea what that was.
"This is... a fragmentation bomb!"
Hearing the sound, Ge Wen turned around suddenly and looked at the exploding shields on the warships with wide eyes.
As a veteran of many battles, he immediately guessed what the object was that shattered the battleship's shield.
"Lu Ji, you actually used the Empire's stuff to attack the Empire's fleet!"
Ge Wen growled with gritted teeth, veins popping out on his forehead under his armor.
As the iron wall protecting the empire, he would never allow Lu Ji to tarnish the empire in this way!
"Hahaha, Ge Wen, you talk too much nonsense!"
Suddenly, a loud laugh came from below.
Ge Wen hurried to the deck and looked down.
They saw that Lu Ji had arrived below them at some point, and was now pointing the muzzle of his gun on the ground at the warship in the air.
"what!"
Ge Wen's pupils suddenly shrank, but it was too late to take precautions now.
Lu Ji suddenly raised his hand, and the guards around him immediately injected their magic power into the ship's cannon.
There was a constant rumbling sound for a while, and beams of light cannon accurately hit the energy core room of each warship.
"Sure enough, fighting the enemy who knows you best is the most difficult!"
Gwen looked at the warships falling around him and grabbed the railing beside the deck with both hands.
He knew very well that Lu Ji and his personal guards were very familiar with the structure of the imperial warships.
This is why they were able to hit the power cores of these warships so accurately, forcing the fleet to crash.
"But... Lu Ji, you underestimate me and others!"
Excitement flashed in Ge Wen's eyes under his iron helmet, and he jumped off the giant ship.
With a loud crash, Ge Wen fell to the ground.
The force of this crash created a huge pit within a hundred meters around Ge Wen.
At the same time, the officers and soldiers on other warships quickly regained their composure and jumped off the warships one after another.
All of a sudden, figures fell like raindrops, quickly surrounding Lu Ji and his personal guards.
"Ge Wen, what are you doing?!"
"Your mission here is to protect me, not to do these meaningless things!"
The eldest prince on the giant ship had no time to be shocked. He leaned over the railing and shouted angrily at Ge Wen in the huge pit.
