Chapter 50. Flee under artillery fire! (Ask for recommendations!) )
"Ahem, cough, ahem, ......" The dense smoke of gunpowder was like a dark cloud covering the sky at some point, engulfing several nearby Naga warships little by little. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Hull coughed a few times, and the tremor of his body immediately stimulated the hideous wound on his right arm that had been torn by the high-speed splashing of wood chips, and beads of sweat the size of beans slid down his forehead like raindrops.
The layer of scales on his body that seemed to have a certain defensive power, before the wood chips that were cut at high speed like a sharp blade, there was no ability to resist at all, and with the fall off of the scales, the blood spilled, and the broken wood chips were rigidly embedded in the arm.
Hull's mouth was concave, his face, which had been turned pale from intense pain, was even more distorted, and his low and desperately suppressed moans sounded like a devil's wail, but his body did not dare to move at all, for fear of causing his right arm to shake again.
......After a long while, Hull couldn't help but open his mouth wide and breathe, almost greedily breathing the air around him, like a survivor who had just been saved from drowning.
The hideous color on his face also dissipated a lot at this time, but the paleness became more and more prominent.
"Boom-"
Hearing this loud bang again, Hull's originally pale face couldn't help but change, and his body trembled and wanted to move, but before he could take a few steps, the black iron ball had already flown over his head and smashed on the cabin behind him.
Splashing planks mixed with flying dust swept in all directions like a storm.
"Huh......" Seeing those iron balls falling, Hull was also obviously relieved, and his originally almost stiff body suddenly eased a lot.
Looking at the people who were all in a panic all around, Hull was sad and angry at the same time, but he was also a little helpless, under this blazing roar, all the clansmen could not resist anything.
"It shouldn't be like this...... According to the original assumption, they should have completely crushed those humans, but the current situation is completely opposite.
"It shouldn't be like this!"
Helplessness, grief, unwillingness, all kinds of strange thoughts and emotions all poured into Hull's heart at this moment, and then like ignited gunpowder in the medicine room, ruthlessly vented.
"Bang!"
And at the same time as the other party let out this roar, the pitch-black iron ball had also smashed down from the air again, and the high-speed rotating hot iron ball instantly tore apart the opponent's seemingly tough body, and the scarlet blood floated out like raindrops, and finally condensed into that indestructible battle intent.
********
The surging flesh, the bloody breath, the shattered wooden planks, the tumbling dust, everything in front of him was accompanied by the gray-black smoke raised by the iron balls, like rising waves, rising and expanding, and finally engulfing all the Naga.
The swaying dark red flames began to burn sporadically as the iron balls kept falling, and at first they were still inconspicuous, but as the firelight converged and rose little by little, it eventually turned into a devouring beast, harvesting those fragmented lives little by little.
Fear, depression, horror, fear...... All kinds of complicated emotions are magnified to the greatest in the face of the dying life, burning like a small flame that is inconspicuous at the beginning, and in the blink of an eye, it has formed a prairie fire, and there is no intention of stopping, but spreading more violently.
The Naga people, who were finally appeased by Sansa before, finally collapsed on this ruthless battlefield poured with iron and blood.
And as the first Naga ship sank to the bottom of the sea amid the sound of cannon fire, all resistance vanished completely.
Looking at the people who were completely dominated by fear, Sansa couldn't help but smile miserably, she knew that they had lost this war.
However, they are not completely without a chance to fight back, although the unknown weapons carried on the opponent's warship are powerful, but after all, they cannot break into the land, as long as they can stick to the interior of the drifting island and force the enemy to carry out the war to seize the island, without those powerful weapons to suppress, the other party may not be their opponent.
Although most of the mages on the island were killed in the battle with the elves, a few strong mages survived, and the high priest was still alive.
Thinking of the sparkling wisdom on that old face, Sansa, who was originally extremely flustered, suddenly felt a lot more at ease, whether she wanted to admit it or not, in the development of their Naga for decades, the other party has always played the role of a protector, and even this war with the elves, if it weren't for the other party's strategy and the bloody battle at the last moment, at this time they were afraid that they would all fall under the butcher's knife of the elves.
There is hope!
As for the order to retreat, it didn't need to be issued by Sansa, under the great threat of death, how could these clansmen have time to wait for his order, one by one Naga warships had already desperately headed towards the Drift Island, and in the rear, there were Imperial ships that were following closely.
However, from beginning to end, no matter whether those Naga battleships were advancing or retreating, the artillery fire that fell from the sky barely stopped.
Under the crushing of the roaring artillery fire, before reaching the Drifting Island, two more Naga warships sank to the bottom of the endless sea forever, and just as Jiman was about to continue the pursuit of victory, a melodious horn sounded suddenly.
And with the sound of the horn, hundreds of rolling waves suddenly appeared on the sea surface, which had been comfortable before.
"Damn, it's these inferior creatures again!" Looking at the pale blue body that appeared and disappeared in the waves, Renault couldn't help but clench his fists and said viciously.
Although these ugly and unintelligent creatures are almost at the bottom of the Endless Sea, often relying on the rest of the powerful races to survive in this cruel world, in the ocean, their combat power is definitely not to be underestimated.
As the most widely distributed amphibian humanoids in the Endless Sea, these fish-men have no understanding of tactics, but their ability to parade in the sea makes them good at assault ships.
Whether it's a frontal attack, constant harassment, or cover for retreat, using these almost cannon fodder fishmen is undoubtedly a pretty good choice.
At this time, in order to buy time for the remaining two warships and those who fled into the sea, Sansa did not hesitate to gather all the last hundred fishmen who were attached to the tribe.
With the sound of the melodious horn, these ignorant fishmen have also turned into monsters who are not afraid of death and pain.
