Chapter 5484 Ambush
"General Ge Wen, I just said that you care too much about these lowly people in the Snow Country."
"In the past, my empire just needed to establish an image of an enemy, so we deliberately let them stay until now."
"Now I am personally leading the imperial army to the border. It would be fine if these people from the Snow Country ran away. If they didn't run away..."
The eldest prince's mouth curled up coldly. He urgently needed a great achievement to smooth out his damaged reputation.
Now all he had to do was to break through the Snow Country, and the achievement would come naturally.
"Well..."
Ge Wen just groaned, but his eyes always fell on the more than ten warships in the vanguard.
The warships were 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 warships.
"Sure enough!"
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.
"Hmm?"
The eldest prince also came back 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 again?"
"It's just a pile of thick fog, just go through it!"
The eldest prince said with an impatient look on his face, not realizing at all that this thick fog was formed by the innate coldness of the snow people.
"Your Highness, this is the thick fog formed by the innate coldness of the snow people."
"On the ice field of the Snow Country, the snow people can exert multiple times of combat effectiveness."
"If you rashly approach this thick fog, I'm afraid the soldiers on the warships will be frozen immediately."
Ge Wen listened to the meaningless words of the eldest prince, suppressed the irritability in his heart, and replied in a deep voice.
"What? Then stop the fleet first!"
"General Ge Wen, how to break this thick fog?!"
The eldest prince looked anxious and hurriedly asked Ge Wen.
"Reporting to His Highness, we only need to bombard the fog with light cannons at a long distance to break it."
"After all, these fogs are generated by the innate coldness of the Snow Clan. As long as the caster is killed, these fogs will dissipate."
"But at this time, there are still pioneers exploring the way in the thick fog. I suggest..."
Ge Wen was about to give a safer suggestion, but saw that the eldest prince had raised his hand.
"Fire!"
The eldest prince had no intention of listening to Ge Wen's opinion, and shouted an order to the soldiers on the surrounding warships.
"This..."
The soldiers on many warships looked at each other in bewilderment. They knew very well that in addition to the Snow Clan, there were also their comrades in the thick fog.
Now the eldest prince actually asked them to bombard indiscriminately with ship guns. This practice of not caring about their lives is undoubtedly chilling.
The eldest prince can abandon the lives of other soldiers so easily, so how could he care about their lives?
What's more, the behavior of the eldest prince at this time was completely different from the eldest prince they knew in the imperial city.
Some soldiers even began to doubt whether the eldest prince in front of them was impersonated by someone else.
"Why are you standing there? Didn't you hear what I said?"
"If you don't do it, 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..."
The soldiers on the fleet heard this and responded reluctantly.
Immediately, they moved the ship's guns and aimed at the thick fog in the distance, and were about to start a new round of concentrated fire.
"Damn..."
Ge Wen stood beside the eldest prince and clenched his fists secretly.
Although he was the iron wall of the empire, he was 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 of his care for his subordinates.
However, he was facing the eldest prince who represented the authority of the royal family, and he could not 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.
Seeing that the light cannons on the warships were about to be fired, countless round black shadows suddenly flew out from below them.
The incident happened suddenly, and no one was prepared in advance, and they could only watch these things hit the warships.
With a snap, a sound like glass breaking came.
The shields that were originally hidden on the warships suddenly appeared, and quickly turned into light fragments and shattered.
"What's going on?!"
The eldest prince looked at all this in astonishment. He had never been on the battlefield himself, and he didn't know what it was.
"This is... a fragmentation bomb!"
Hearing the sound, Ge Wen turned his head suddenly, and looked at the shields that exploded on the warships with wide eyes.
As a veteran of many battles, he immediately guessed what the object that shattered the battleship's shield was.
"Lu Ji, you actually used the Empire's stuff to attack the Empire's fleet!"
Ge Wen gritted his teeth and growled, 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.
He saw that Lu Ji had come below them without knowing when, and at this moment he had pointed the muzzle of the gun standing on the ground at the battleship 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 mana into the cannons.
There was a constant rumble, and beams of light accurately hit the energy core rooms of each warship.
"Sure enough, it is the most difficult to fight against the enemy who knows you best!"
Ge Wen looked at the warships that were constantly falling around him, and grabbed the railings beside the deck with both hands.
He knew very well that Lu Ji and his guards knew the structure of the imperial warships very well.
That's why they could hit the power cores of these warships so accurately and force the warships to fall.
"But... Lu Ji, you underestimated me and others!"
Excitement flashed in Ge Wen's eyes under his iron helmet, and he jumped off the giant ship.
With a violent crash, Ge Wen landed on the ground.
The force caused by this crash directly smashed a huge pit within a hundred meters around Ge Wen.
At the same time, the soldiers on other warships also quickly regained their composure and jumped off the warships.
Figures fell like raindrops, quickly surrounding Lu Ji and his guards.
"Ge Wen, what are you doing?!"
"Your mission 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.
