Extraordinary Sailing

boom! boom! boom! boom! boom!

The battlefield at the mouth of the sea was filled with gunpowder smoke, and a blue cloud had almost formed over the bastion.

The fierce battle between more than a thousand defenders of a bastion and five large species has lasted for a long time, even if it only took a few tens of minutes, to the defenders, it seemed like a second like a year.

During the battle, the five large species had all revealed their true faces in front of the garrison:

"Skeleton Moray", "Iron Armored Seahorse", "Giant Hammer Mantis Shrimp", "Water Cannon Humpback Whale" and a "Ghost Shrimp" that appears and disappears from time to time.

With one against five, it is an extremely difficult battle no matter what.

Even if the bastion has the cross-fire power comparable to that of a battleship, it is still stretched to face the siege of five large species.

The only good news is that the bastion was built in the middle of a promontory protruding from the sea, and the solid land created a sufficient defensive distance between the defenders and the sea monster.

No matter where the sea monsters attack from, they must finally launch a landing operation to destroy the extremely strong bastion, which also creates opportunities for the artillery to give full play to the power of the artillery.

If the bastion is replaced by a battleship with the same firepower configuration, even if the "Song of the Siren" can pull the sea monster into the flat battlefield, the battleship must have sunk to the bottom of the sea by this time.

Although it was very difficult, the bastion finally persisted.

It's just hard to say how long it will last.

Among the five-headed sea monsters, the "iron armored seahorse" without limbs and the "ghost shrimp" that would be forgotten as soon as it melted into the sea water were obviously used as a defensive force to control the sea surface, and the threat to the bastion was not too great for the time being.

In fact, they hid themselves far away, and only held the mouth of the sea with the force of the corner.

Even the nature of extraordinary creatures cannot allow them to break through the limitations of their respective physiological structures to complete the landing operation. Even if they land forcibly, they will only become living targets for the bastion.

but.

Among the remaining three large species, except for the most violent "skeleton moray" who has climbed to the cape several times and was driven into the sea by artillery fire, and the heavy carapace covered in colorful colors, it looks like an armored train and wanders around the periphery to wait for opportunities In addition to the moving "Giant Hammer Mantis Shrimp", there is a particularly difficult guy among the sea monsters.

call out! call out! call out!

"Large Species Water Cannon Humpback Whale" has a somewhat similar appearance to the sea monster form of "Tide Herder" Teinkut.

The bone armor covers its huge head, but a long bone "barrel" extends out from the position of the normal whale's nostril.

This "bone cannon" can fire powerful compressed "water cannonballs" at a rate of four rounds per minute. Both the lethality and the rate of fire are equal to the combined force of two 32-pounder cannons.

If this kind of compressed "water cannonball" hits the outer wall of the bastion, the bastion, which was born to deal with shelling, is of course not afraid. The thick layer of rammed earth will absorb the kinetic energy of the "cannonball" by itself.

But if it is flying to the second-tier fort, it has to be treated with caution, as long as a water cannonball falls, it will cause huge damage to the gunner.

Fortunately, there are not only ordinary soldiers guarding here, but also a Tier 3 great knight, Major General Coverdale!

Facing the roaring "water cannonballs" again.

"drink!"

Because it was a land defense battle, the major general who had put on his full-body heavy armor immediately, holding a big sword and a pure steel kite-shaped shield let out a loud shout.

[Transcendent Mysteries Iron Wall! 】

Surrounded by blazing fighting spirit, this great knight swung his sword and shield and moved quickly on the second-floor platform, blocking most of the incoming "water cannonballs".

Of course, even a Tier 3 great knight cannot use his body to block a high-density water polo that is as powerful as a heavy artillery.

The major general mainly uses the smooth surface of the heavy shield to deflect and bounce the water polo away. It is not too difficult to do this with the great knight's extraordinary strength and control skills.

However, even if the major general did not make any omissions, everyone knows that this is not a long-term solution.

The crossfire of the bastion is of course stronger than that of a sea monster, but this "water cannon humpback" has a longer range than a human cannon!

in addition.

The infrasound waves emitted by the "Song of the Siren" have a low frequency and a very long wavelength, so they can bypass large obstacles, and the diffraction is pervasive. It is also hardly absorbed by water and air, and is not easy to attenuate. It is an excellent underwater weapon.

But after all, there is a power limit, and it is impossible to have the same lethality no matter how far away.

In the final test report of "Newing Harbor", the "Song of the Siren" has a certain degree of lethality and interference to large-scale sea monsters, and the cooperation of multiple "Songs of the Siren" is required to achieve the desired goal.

Therefore, it is impossible to expect that "Song of the Siren" can directly and remotely kill large species.

As long as they don't take the initiative to approach, it is no problem to float on the sea for a short time to minimize the impact of infrasound waves.

This also makes the defenders on the bastion have no good way to deal with the "whale" attacking from a long distance. Even in order to avoid heavy casualties of the defenders, even the supreme commander and the only great knight, Major General Coverdale Not tired.

hiss! hiss! hiss!

Between the firing of the "water cannonballs", the "Skeleton Moray" ran out of patience and rushed up again, using its powerful body to swim quickly on the land like a snake, and rushed to a "convex fort" in the bastions. .

"Fire!"

boom! boom! boom!

From this angle, the 12 heavy guns that can cover the moray eel within the firing range and four spare 8-pound guns fire at the same time, but the slender shape of the moray eel provides it with unique conditions for avoiding shells.

Moreover, even if the body is covered with mucus, even if stray bullets occasionally graze it, it will not have much effect on it.

More importantly, after several rounds of probing, the defenders discovered that this ugly guy possessed an extremely perverted racial talent [Danger Premonition].

Able to respond in time before fatal danger arrives.

This ability not only makes it more difficult to be hit by artillery fire, but also makes it successfully avoid the previous defenders mobilizing all the small artillery to focus on it with a wide range of grape bullets.

Therefore, even if 16 cannons fired at the same time, it would only plow a blue wound on its tail.

According to previous experience, if it can't be killed with one blow, it will grow back after a while, and then attack the cape again alive and kicking.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

With the help of the stubby tentacles on its neck, the "Skeleton Moray" quickly approached the fort.

Oddly enough, though.

This time, the close-range defensive shooting consisting of small artillery and muskets did not come as before.

This "moray eel" did not hesitate, and quickly rushed up along the slope of the first floor of the bastion.

When they got close, the defenders finally saw what kind of monster they were fighting against. Even if they were ordered by Shangfeng to suspend the attack and retreat, they couldn't help trembling.

The body length has exceeded 80 meters, and the thickest part is nearly 5 meters taller than a floor. The hideous head covered by the hard carapace alone is 10 meters long.

The large species is worthy of being a large species, and the small species with a body length of no more than 30 meters is simply a two-dimensional existence.

hiss--

A long hiss was already ringing in the ears of the defenders, and many of them were trembling even with their eyes closed.

next moment.

The huge head like a white skull suddenly poked up, the small sunken eyes revealed cunning and cruelty, and the long mouth opened, revealing a mouth full of sharp teeth like long swords.

Although I don't understand why the humans here suddenly ceased fire, but it has only been out of the factory for a few months, and it doesn't have such a high-end way of thinking as "conspiracies and tricks". It can't wait to unleash its extremely strong killing instinct on the defenders!

Just haven't waited for it to be put into action.

[Dangerous! 】

Suddenly, the "premonition of danger" that was silent because it was not bombarded gave it a crisis signal of unprecedented intensity!

I can't care about the fresh meat that has already reached my mouth, so I have to turn my head and retreat.

However, for a "snake-shaped" creature, even without legs, it can still run like flying, but it is a big problem for them to retreat.

And the major general ordered it to be released onto the bastion, waiting for this moment!

Boom! ! !

The steel boots stepped on the ground, and even this section of the fort seemed to tremble.

A thunder-like battle qi flame shot up from the top of the salient fort, and slammed into the "Skeleton Eel"'s widened jaw.

[Profound Truth Steel City Shield Strike! 】

The lower end of the pure steel kite-shaped shield is a sharp triangular structure.

As Major General Coverdale's exclusive weapon, it has long been carefully sharpened by craftsmen, and several strengthening techniques have been added with alchemy. In terms of hardness and sharpness alone, it is no worse than any extraordinary weapon.

clang--!

The heavy shield collided violently with the bony jaw of the sea monster, exploding with a bang like a bell.

Then, a crisp "click" sound reached the ears of all defenders.

look up.

The long lower jaw of the "Skeleton Moray" covered with bone armor was actually broken.

The violent impact caused the major general to fly backwards and smash back into the fortress. It was also difficult for him to face head-to-head with the large species.

The stalemate with the "Water Cannon Humpback Whale" had been stalemate for a long time before, and it was very exhausting. Even if it is now equipped with full-body heavy armor, it will not be able to get up for a while.

But after consuming one of his extraordinary secrets, the severely injured sea monster fell dizzily from the 30-meter-high platform on the second floor of the bastion.

Bang——

The giant beast fell, and the earth shook.

"Fire!"

The deputy commander, who had been prepared for a long time, seized the opportunity and ordered decisively.

The orange-red cannon flames on the wall are all blooming!

More than a dozen roaring iron cannonballs splashed on the fallen sea monster!

It can be called close at hand. Facing a huge target that has fallen into dizziness, the artillerymen have no reason to miss at all.

During the concentrated fire attack, the heavy iron shells finally penetrated into the flesh of the "Skeleton Eel" head-on, blasting blood holes one by one.

Just one minute later, even the slowest-firing 32-pound gun fired two rounds, and before the "skeleton moray" spitting out blue blood regained consciousness, its head and chest were smashed by the bastion's The crossfire was abruptly broken!

During this period, even though they endured the heavy casualties caused by the re-firing of the "water cannon humpback whale", the garrison gritted their teeth and no one dodged.

Finally, the first large species was successfully killed here!

It was also the first drop of blood paid after the sea monster invaded!
