Chapter 330: Wounded
The fishermen of the sea and the inexplicable explosion on the shore quickly spread to the entire city of Chiranogan at a speed far greater than the spread of the virus. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The merchants panicked and brought their goods to the predetermined warehouses and deposits, but they were not told until they got there that no matter how long the reservation had taken or how high the advance payment had been, they were not willing to put these mountains of various goods into their warehouses at this time, and even the Assas Chamber of Commerce, which was backed by the royal family, chose to protect themselves, although this may cause them to lose a large amount of advance money and a lot of reputation, but it is a drop in the bucket compared to the tenfold compensation for the damage to the goods。
The same thing happened to the travelers and the innkeepers, who shouted loudly with their room cards in their hands, while the innkeepers preferred to let their men nail the door panels and block the doors and windows with the priceless furniture and not let any traveler enter the hotel, for the same reason as above, if the guests were injured or lost during their stay, the inn would pay a heavy price for it, so most of the inns chose to protect the guests who were still in the hotel and then abandoned the guests, but they did not worry about any reputational damage caused by this, because all the hostels in this harbour city do the same thing.
But the only thing that could reassure them was that the defenders of the city were quite brave, and after receiving the order, all the defenders, whether on leave or not, returned to their posts, and soon saw that the empty streets of the courtyard were full of soldiers in blue and black armor, although they were all mercenaries without borders, but if they were paid enough, they could also provide a hundred percent loyalty, and it was clear that the wealthy Assas nobles could afford this insignificant reward for them。
Soon, the soldiers passed through the tunnel in the mountains to the warship hidden in the underground tunnel, and then saw the soldiers who passed through the tunnel one by one holding long contradictory cards straight in the two rows of the warship waiting for orders, while the magician apprentices behind them were quietly standing in boxes containing fierce beast cores in order to load cannons at any time, and finally, after the flagship's order, hundreds of thousands of wooden warships poured out of the nest to quickly crowd the entire middle and offshore waters with a mountain of overwhelming momentum, and as time went by, the speed of the warship was still increasing, and for a while stood on the flagship and looked forward, a piece of warships in the dark gives people a majestic momentum that no one can stop in the world.
Therefore, it is not for nothing that the maritime trade routes of the Assas Empire are developed, that is, this huge fleet is enough to terrify all the coastal countries, not to mention the pirates with uneven personnel and equipment.
However, crowd tactics do not seem to be very effective against modern technology.
The commander of the flagship of the Assas Imperial fleet, who decided to strike preemptively to boost morale, immediately decided to send 350 hand-cranked clippers without magic cannons and a team of soldiers to rush to the opponent's battleship when the enemy used those 'fireballs' that almost ignored the distance again, and then landed on the opponent's battleship with rope grappling hooks, and then carried out a white-knuckle attack, killing two birds with one stone while using weapons against the enemy in the same industry, but also buying time for the arrival of the fleet behind.
As soon as the order was given, it was too late to say that it was too late, and more than 300 hand-cranked warships marched all the way in a burst of trumpets, fearlessly rushing towards the battleship that seemed to be far away in the sky.
But before the seemingly invincible death squad could reach the halfway point, they began to explode one after another inexplicably, then turned into a pile of burning debris and then sank to the bottom of the sea, until finally all the warships exploded inexplicably, and the entire area was perfectly painted with a picture of hell because of the burning fragments of the wooden warships and the Struggling Ashas Imperial soldiers floating on the water.
This strange scene stunned the soldiers on the warships in the rear.
What happened? Why did these ships sink? And the next scene really made them feel dumbfounded, only to see hundreds of giant squid four or five meters tall suddenly jumped out of the water, and then stretched out a tentacle that was still thick, grabbed the Assas Imperial warships rushing to the front one by one, and then dragged them into the water as if playing with a fun toy, or grabbed the two warships and slammed them together like children, and then waved other tentacles excitedly in the sound of wood tearing and human screams。
"Deep-sea beasts, retreat quickly! Retreat quickly!" Looking at the approaching giant squid, a sergeant on the warship hurriedly shouted, but because of the extremely heavy magic cannon and the human-powered warship, they didn't have time to retreat, and in the panic, some rowing Lifu jumped off the warship in a panic, and then swam to the shore with all his might.
But after all, this is above the sea, although it is inshore, but it is difficult to return to the shore by manpower alone, just as this group of people floated on the surface of the water in despair, one by one cute figures also emerged from the water, only to see a strange dolphin is excitedly nodding its head as if it is greeting them.
All fishermen, even children, know that dolphins are one of the few good friends people have in the sea.
The Riffs waved their arms at them with the same joy, hoping that the elves who had rescued them in shipwrecks would once again help them escape.
When a husband was about to lie on the back of a dolphin, he saw that the dolphin suddenly dodged and deftly dodged the man's body, just when people didn't know what it was going to do, they saw the group of dolphins open their mouths to them one after another, and then another thing happened that they couldn't understand, only to see the original chaotic water lines began to form regular waves, and then a small sea fish bled and surfaced after staining a sea red.
And the Lifu on the side are not much better, those strange dolphins opened their mouths, they felt as if they were covered by something invisible, and there was no twitching up and down their bodies, and just like those small fish that turned their white bellies, the victims soon appeared, those Lifu who were floating in the sea with their upper bodies naked and wearing shorts began to bleed from their mouths and noses like those small fish, they covered their ears but to no avail, and their already rapid hearts were beating wildly as if they were installed with a super-powerful engine, and they knew that they were completely shattered in the end。
In this way, the sea between the ships was gradually covered with blood and debris, and the smell of the sea and the smell of blood mixed together made these soldiers who had grown up on the sea unable to hide their disgusting feelings, and the lifu under the ship did not dare to paddle hard, because no one knew whether the next time the oars hit the sea, it would be the sea water or something else.
A powerful sense of powerlessness enveloped the entire Assas Imperial fleet, and people didn't even know what they were fighting before the enemy sank their ships, and they wanted to do something, but they couldn't do anything but to be killed like garbage floating on water.
"Report to Lord Earl, we have suffered serious losses in the strings, and we ask that we return to Hong Kong for shelter for the time being. A sergeant half-knelt in front of an Earl of the Assas Empire, the waves caused by the destruction of the ship in front of him were so strong that even the largest flagship could barely keep his balance, and the count was leaning on a mast and watching the warship in front of him that was constantly being thrown into the sky, clutching the clothes on his chest in pain.
That's all golden coins!
"No, you can't retreat, if the port is destroyed, the city will be completely finished!Tell the soldiers to hold on, and I will immediately go to the Marquis and ask him to send reinforcements, remember, you must resist!" he retched, and the flagship swaying from side to side made him feel quite uncomfortable, but despite this, he still couldn't, or rather didn't want to show his weakness in front of his own soldiers.
It's dignity as a nobleman!
Show me, you damned thugs! The Count stared at the army still on the distant horizon and cursed secretly: "Someday I will double this pain for you, I swear!"
