Chapter 331: A Sudden Great War
"Captain, we're in the Land of Giants Gafatlon!"
Anna shouted excitedly from the control room.
Several crew members of the "Ghost Regiment" heard the shouts and walked out of the cabin one after another.
When everyone saw the giant vine that towered into the clouds and did not see its top cover, they were also stunned.
Colin and Lulu had heard that there was one of the tallest trees in the world in the Land of Giants, but it was the first time they had seen them with their own eyes. Everyone's eyes were full of energy, and they all marveled at this "miracle of creation".
The long-awaited destination arrived, and Lulu seemed to see the experimental sample and beckoned to him, "Wow... It's finally here. Hopefully, this time I can find a sample corresponding to the 'golden blood', I recently carefully screened the gene sequence in the blood and found a 'giant gene'. Not surprisingly, the Giant Clan is definitely related to the mysterious 'tentacle monster' in the seal of the Earth Demon Island..."
Anna also had a wonderful expression of yearning for the discovery of a new continent, and murmured, "I have finally arrived at the magical 'Giant Country' recorded in the notes of those great adventurers!" I've heard that everything is big there. This is sure to be a big hit in my Ghost Logbook..."
Colin was more interested in the structure of the giant tree and exclaimed, "It's unbelievable! With such a tall tree, the strength of the material alone is definitely not enough to support the almost infinite mass. So, what kind of structure does it have to grow so tall? ”
The fat cat looked up at the end of the vine and looked eager: "Wow... I'd love to try it out and see if there's really an ancient kingdom at the top of the tree. ”
Monkey Jigi: "Squeak squeak..." (Note: I am the best at climbing trees.) )
Raymond listened with a wry smile and said, "Every year, countless adventurers try to climb the 'Heavenly Divine Tree', but countless people fall to their deaths every year..."
There are a lot of dead players in the game, but I haven't heard of anyone actually climbing up. That tree, even after climbing for a few months, is still green and viney, and there is no end in sight.
The sky in this world of great navigation is absolutely different from the earth, and the sky here is infinitely high...
Even whether the sun and moon are stars or not is a question worth pondering.
It is really possible that the expressions of various signs exist in the way recorded in mythological stories, and the sun and moon are gods who are pulled out by the gods in a chariot at regular intervals to glow.
And the "Land of Giants" is also the country where the existence of "mythical civilizations" can be found in this world.
"Giant Country, our 'Ghost Pirates' are here!"
Everyone frolicked, and the "Golden Ghost" also drove at full speed in the direction of the giant tree at the end of the field of vision.
......
After a while, the giant tree in everyone's field of vision became bigger and bigger, and something else gradually appeared on the horizon.
Under the "Heavenly Sacred Tree", there is a lush green archipelago. These islands are within the reach of the roots of the sacred trees of Tongtian, so the broad-leaved elm trees hundreds of meters tall are everywhere, and the canopy is towering, faintly listening to the roar of an unknown beast. The tribes of the giant kingdom are all hidden in the dense forests on that island, and they don't know how many.
"Huh... It's actually a large city ship island! ”
Raymond looked at the sea not far from the Green Islands, the white gas of the steam boiler tumbling out of countless chimneys, a bustling and lively sea city scene.
If you look closely, it is the three human steam and steel ship islands.
At this moment, the three ship islands are fully armed and ready for battle, with armor baffles covering the city, and all kinds of giant artillery protrusions, standing around the ship islands, like hedgehogs, defending this steel city...
These cannons are enough to destroy all enemies who try to attack the island in vain.
The colorful icon of "Golden Pickaxe" is printed on the armor plate of the defense of the island, announcing the identity of the owner of the island.
Raymond is no stranger to this icon, and guesses the origin of this ship island, which is the noble coat of arms of the mining magnate "Davide Family".
Seeing this, he muttered to himself, "The Davide family actually drove all the war ship islands over... It seems that this is ready for a long-term war. ”
Three large city ship islands have been stationed, and there will be an endless supply of support and support. Looking at this situation, it seems that the "sea control" of the mining area has been firmly controlled by the Davide family.
The wooden sailing ships of the Giants are probably not capable of breaking through the "Iron Ship Island", the ultimate war machine of mankind.
Moreover, the defense of the island is not only that.
Raymond saw from a distance, and then saw that tens of thousands of large and small sea ships were already densely parked next to the three steel ship islands.
This is a mercenary recruited by the Davis family with a high commission. There are pirates, adventurers, and professional warmongers...
"Huh... That is the banner of the [Emperor of War]? Those warmongers are coming to war, too..."
Raymond looked at the "Sea King-class" ship formation with uniform black paint among the tens of thousands of sea ships, and frowned slightly.
The flag of the fleet fluttering on the "Artillery Skull Flag", which is the subordinate of the [War Emperor], one of the "Endless Eight Emperors", the second legion "Red Crucible Legion".
There is a very special overlord-level existence in the "Endless Eight Emperors", and that is the [War Emperor].
[Emperor of War] started as a pirate robbery, but now it has gradually become the largest "professional mercenary" team in the world of great exploration. They even abandoned the squad structure of the pirate fleet and instead used the "legion system" of the regular army, and the captain was the legion commander.
Where there is a large-scale war, there must be a group of professional warmongers who take money and sell their lives to the "War Emperor Pirates"!
Their army is well-equipped, and the regiments are all outlaws, and their combat effectiveness is extremely high. Now so strong that even the Navy acquiesces to their existence.
Lei Meng also knew that this [Emperor of War] regiment and the World General Government still had some tacit understanding, and in some large-scale wars where it was inconvenient for the navy to come forward, there must be people from the [Emperor of War].
What the Navy didn't dare to do, they did; What the navy does not dare to manage, they do; What the Navy does not dare to kill, they kill ...
This group of cold-blooded warmongers, who only seek wealth and have no humanity at all, will not hesitate to fulfill the employer's employment requirements, whether it is to destroy the country, massacre, purge... They can do any inhumane and inhumane evil of war.
That pirate identity has covered up too much brutality for them!
In the previous game, Raymond as a player only played monsters and upgraded for fun, and was not interested in participating in any conspiracy layout of NPCs. Now that he has personally participated in some "big events", he has seen clearly some of the schemes of those conspirators.
At this moment, he extremely suspected that the "War Emperor Pirates" were the pirate forces supported by the World General Government!
......
At this time, Anna asked, "Captain, shall we lean over?" ”
The purpose is in sight, and it is natural to pass. If they want to get the "Rainbow Ore", the Davide family ship island must definitely go to it.
Raymond nodded: "Hmm... Let's go..."
He was just about to say something, when his face suddenly changed!
Because at this time, he heard a violent air friction sound, like the sound of the engine of a painted airplane, which made his ears rumble.
"Something happened!"
Raymond looked up and was shocked to see countless small dots in the sky.
It didn't take long for those tiny dots to turn into a lump of meteorites with a long tail of fire!
The Ghost Regiment also saw the vision in the sky from the telescope and exclaimed, "Meteors from the sky? ”
At this moment, a large area of "meteorite rain" fell over Davide's three large war ship islands, and the speed became faster and faster, and the flames on the meteorite gradually turned into a long light tail that was almost white.
To be impartial, all the meteorites fell densely towards the sea area where the ship island is located.
"No, this is for Steel Ship Island!"
The pupil of Golgong's right eye in Raymond's right eye shrank suddenly, and the focal length shrank to the limit. At this moment, he suddenly saw a group of sharp-beaked strange birds with fleshy wings like bats appear above the clouds in the sky, and the animal skin cloth bags under their claws were containing bulging stone balls.
"Pterodactyl! It's the giant priest of the 'Voodoo Tribe' who has struck! ”
He looked at the giant birds with wings spread for more than two or three hundred meters, and he recognized the famous monsters in these games.
This is a specialty of the Giant Country, the flying dinosaurs raised by the giant priests of the Voodoo tribe!
Looking at those meteor showers with long tails again, Raymond's expression changed greatly, and he complained in his heart: "Meteorite, your sister, that's a 'rune stone bomb'!" ”
Seeing the dense and shiny runes on the meteor, he hurriedly said to Anna beside him as if he had seen something terrifying: "Anna, let's retreat quickly, we are about to start a big battle!" ”
Although the ghost group on the side didn't understand what was happening, they saw Raymond's solemn expression and immediately took action.
The Iron Toad, which had been moving ahead just now, quickly turned the bow of the ship again and retreated at full speed.
......
The Golden Ghost scrambled out in the direction of the Iron Ship Island.
After the ship's course was reversed, everyone in the Ghost Regiment ran to the deck to watch the battle with curiosity.
They were amazed at the exaggerated "meteor shower" scene in front of them.
Colin, who was on the side, was obviously very interested in this "air attack" method, and asked: "Captain, you said that... Meteorites are the means of attack of the giants?! ”
Raymond was also shocked: "yes... The wyvern wielded by the Giant Priest, a 'rune bomb' deliberately thrown. ”
In the game, he has seen a single voodoo giant driving a pterodactyl to attack a human ship. But it was also the first time he had seen the amazing scene of hundreds of pterosaurs hitting and attacking in front of him.
A "rune bomb" can easily blow up a ship, what is the concept of hundreds or thousands of bombs?
This... It's like bombers dropping bombs in formation, and the power is unimaginable... This devastating blow is also an absolutely devastating disaster for the Iron Ship Island in the sea below!
"Air supremacy! How did you forget this thing..."
The giants are good at beast control, and it's no surprise.
But Raymond didn't expect that the giant tribe would raise so many toothless pterosaurs, and also used the tactic of almost "blank" in this world - large-scale cluster bombing tactics.
If it weren't for this war, it is estimated that no one would know what kind of powerful air supremacy they already have.
Sure enough, no matter which world it is, air supremacy is the most awesome existence.
Hearing Raymond's words, Colin's eyes on the side were bright, and he obviously understood.
He muttered to himself, "Dominate the sky... This should be the general direction of the future development of mechanical technology! ”
Nicole was also aware of it, and chimed in: "Not bad! As long as you fly high enough, you don't have to worry about the attack of sea beasts. HexCity's existing top-notch airship technology can't fly that high, and there's a lot of room for improvement..."
"Perhaps... The airship's train of thought is wrong, we should..."
"It's true that the existing inflatable airships are too clumsy and slow to move. Flying machinery has no meaning if it can't have 'speed' and 'altitude'..."
"Hmm... This is the direction of the breakthrough that we are going to work on..."
“...”
The two scientific research maniacs chatted and chatted, and actually began to discuss the feasible direction of "aircraft manufacturing".
There are many low-altitude urban airships in the world of great navigation, but it is impossible for the kind of airboat with a maximum of 1,000 meters to fly in the waters outside the territory of human beings.
Swaggering in the air, the target is as big as the moon in the night sky, and the only result is to attract some powerful presence at the bottom of the sea, which is destroyed in minutes.
......
"Look, those meteorites are going to hit the ship island!"
A moment later, the meteorite in the sky had fallen to the point where it was visible to the naked eye. The runes on those stones were already so bright that they were like the fuses of a powder keg had burned out, and the violent reaction had reached the extreme, as if they were about to explode.
At this moment, the man on the ship island naturally also discovered the vision in the sky. But the larger the ship's island, the slower the reaction action, and it is absolutely impossible to avoid this sudden directional air attack! Ship Island can only choose hard resistance!
At this moment, the ships anchored in the temporary harbor were also in chaos, and the major adventure groups and pirates rushed to flee in all directions with their ships, avoiding the dense fireballs that rushed into the sky.
The originally planned defensive battle circle was instantly destroyed because of this chaos.
Thundered...
The rune meteorite, several meters in diameter, had fallen to an extremely low altitude, and the desperate rumble sounded the beginning of the great war.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom...
Raymond and the others listened to the sound of hail falling from afar, and the sound of the violent explosion shook the water droplets on the surface of the sea as high as they danced.
In the field of vision, dense rune bombs smashed intensively on the defensive light shield of Steel Ship Island, and exploded with a bang.
The rune stones fell from a high altitude, and they could easily smash through a steel ship with the power of the fall, not to mention the "rune bomb" secretly made by the secret refining giant voodoo priest?
"That's an exaggeration..."
Far away, everyone on the "Golden Ghost" watched the flames burst out over the steel ship island in the distance, like fireworks, and a huge spark would explode with a bang, one after another.
Every time it explodes, the magic energy defense shield of the steel ship island will dim a little, and this round of hundreds of "rune bombs", but in the blink of an eye, it directly bombards the light mask above the steel ship island.
Those "rune bombs" were unblocked, and they landed directly between the buildings on the city's ship island, like missiles, and exploded everywhere...
Finally, the worst scene of the big war appeared.
Under this kind of earth-destroying intensive bombardment, the top-level transcendent can still be able to save his life, and the middle- and low-level transcendent can only die in despair... There are explosions everywhere, and there is no way to avoid it.
Like firecrackers thrown into a hornet's nest, firelight and explosions reap human lives...
At the same time, quite a few "rune bombs" fell into the sea.
The ships in the temporary harbor are so dense that a boulder can easily hit the ship if it falls, and it explodes, which can immediately set off a burst of fire, and even the surrounding ships will be affected.
Even if the "rune bomb" failed to hit the ship and fell into the sea, the local huge waves set off by the violent explosion were enough to overturn the large ship...
......
"Oh my God, big wars are really terrifying..."
Anna: It was almost the first time for them to see such a high-level large-scale war, and the violent explosion made everyone's faces pale. In their eyes, a sea of fire was reflected one after another. That feeling of destruction was beyond human resistance, and it made everyone feel a sense of powerlessness.
They didn't dare to imagine that if the "Golden Ghost" had arrived at the Davis family's steel ship island port a few hours earlier, wouldn't it have inevitably crashed into this "air raid?" ”
The consequences can be imagined...
Dense with rune bombs, no matter how good the Iron Toad's performance is, it will definitely not be in any better condition than those sunken ships.
"Good thing we missed it... If you enter the port early, I am afraid that it will be dangerous at this moment. ”
Everyone was happy, and they didn't feel that their breath was a little rough.
"The hand of the giant clan caught the Davide family by surprise..."
Raymond didn't expect the Giant Clan to have this "air attack", and only this unexpected attack method could break through the heavily defended War Ship Island!
He was equally glad.
really
If you want to be a fool in the dangerous world of navigation, strength and luck are indispensable.
Suddenly, he felt a cool feeling from the green leaf pendant on his chest, and he couldn't help but think: "Could it be that this is the benefit of high luck value?" ”
......
This round of "air raids" directly led to the breaking of the steel defense circle of the Davide family's ship island, and the fleet's defense line was also washed away. Even the defensive shield of one of the main cities, Ship Island, was shattered...
The impregnable line of defense has been torn open, and the decisive battle is about to begin!
Anna exclaimed, "You see, those are... The giant galleon of the Giants! ”
At this moment, Raymond and the others watched as countless white giant sailing ships poured out near the Davis Mining Steel Ship Island, blessed with the magic pattern of the wind attribute, and their speed was as fast as a speedboat, leaving white waves on the sea.
"The Giants' rune bombs are very difficult to make, and the reserves are definitely not too much. After the air raids, there will inevitably be a fierce battle. ”
Raymond swallowed, his eyes shining.
"The decisive battle is about to begin..."
