Chapter 168: Cannon Roars
Graves briefly introduced that he had come here after chasing and killing enemies, and understood that these flying insects had actually begun to spread half a year ago. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Graves has seen a lot of places full of corpses these times, and he thought it was a war between the city-states, it turned out to be the ghost of this disaster creature, and it was a coincidence that he hadn't encountered these flying insects for so long, and his luck couldn't help but say that it was good.
Fitz the Fish-Man surrounded Bilgewater here, surrounded by at least a few thousand people, including mercenaries, bounty hunters, and civilians.
At this time, many people in the harbor had already sailed away from the harbor, because many people had fled from other places, and the small towns were eaten everywhere.
Those who did not get on a big boat also began to spend a lot of money to buy a small boat and leave, as for what to eat at sea after leaving, many people do not think about it, and it is a time to live for a while.
The owner of the big ship was one of the richest men in Bilgewater, and he owned many sea ships, merchant ships, and many sea buildings in the bay were his property, and he left this time just to take refuge, but he did not forget to make a lot of money before leaving, and those who got on the ship and left with him paid extremely high fares, and he did not tell them where to go.
There are many ships that have left, and in addition to those who have no money and choose to leave, there are also many people who are physically inconvenient and have given up.
The City Lord's Mansion was already empty at this time, and no one knew when the City Lord left, where all the people around him had gone, except for the people who were fighting on the front line.
The lord of the city was chosen, and although he had a lot of rights, they were all for the people, and he had already left the south of Bilgewater with an escort of hundreds of men, and went to the exotic south, where there were no large cities, only small towns, and many places were water towns.
At this time, the battle on the front line had entered a stalemate, and the insect corpses falling from the sky were like rain, but the rear still rushed forward one after another.
Many mercenaries were bitten to death, and the corpses of people and bugs were mixed together.
The elixir of the mercenary union is being consumed rapidly, and it is a matter of hours before it runs out.
A human-sized flying insect appeared in the sky above many flying insects, a pair of bowl-sized red eyes, wings spread three meters wide, eight legs before and after, with sharp thorns and fluff, the size of the pointed mouth is not a problem to easily bite an elephant, the most amazing thing is that the tail behind this insect king actually has a stinger, very large, enough to have a calf width, in fact, other insects also have stingers, but they are relatively small.
The insect king hissed, and all the insects suddenly flew up and gathered together, and as the insect king hissed at different frequencies, the insects began to attack rhythmically.
The bugs began to hiss collectively under the command of the Bug King, if one Bug King is called nothing, but countless bugs are sonic attacks.
The crowd gave this sound wave a lot of headaches, and some people even burst their eardrums directly at such a frequency, bleeding, and the lost hearing fell to the ground.
The crowd began to look for something to plug their ears, but the bugs changed the frequency, so that the sound vibrated not only in the ears, but even on the body, affecting the heartbeat, etc.
People tried to break up the formation of the insects, but the height was too high for the guns to hit.
Graves shouted to the crowd, "Cannons, cannons!" ”
Many people were sent to the guild, but the union did not have artillery storage, and everyone tossed and turned to the city lord's mansion, but the people here went to the empty building, not to mention the ammunition depot, not to mention the artillery, not even the guns were left.
As a last resort, the crowd began to retreat, taking refuge in the buildings of the city, and those who were killed by the sound waves were left behind to become food.
At this time, the people who fled out of the sea were overjoyed, and it seemed that it was a wise decision to leave early.
Not long after the people on board rejoiced, they saw a very bad news, the pirate ship!
This is the inland sea of Bilgewater before it leaves Birgewater, and it is just too bad luck to run into a pirate ship.
The key pirate ships were not just one, but several, connected horizontally to block the way of these escaping ships.
The pirate ship fluttered with a large-sized pattern of swords and spears crossing, and everyone's hearts were cold, could it be that this is the legendary biggest pirate, Planck?
A heroic figure appeared on the pirate ship in the middle, looking condescendingly at these ships stopped by him, he was not handsome, but he had a temperament that people could not ignore.
"Billgewater looks like something happened?" Planck took the binoculars and looked at the harbor in the distance, where there were overwhelming swarms of insects, and many people were killed and eaten in his field of vision.
The little brother next to him pointed to the sea ship below and asked, "Say, what happened to Bilgewater?" ”
Looking at this group of fierce and vicious pirates on the sea boat, he didn't dare to speak, Planck's little brother took out his gun, and the "bang" was a shot, directly killing a person.
"Speak quickly!"
A man hurriedly came out trembling and said, "There is a group of bugs who come from nowhere, they eat people everywhere, and they have destroyed a lot of villages and towns, and now they have come to Bilgewater, so we escaped." ”
Planck looked at the scene in the telescope, there were still many people resisting, many of them fighting with swords and insects, and the guns were not used, apparently the bullets had run out.
"There are still people resisting, and you just ran away? They are all Bilgewaters, how can they be so selfish? Planck put down his binoculars, smiled, beckoned his little brother, and pushed all the guns out of the pirate ship.
Dozens of cannons were brushed together, loaded with gunpowder, and the little brothers who were ready to light the fire stood next to them, and the people on several passenger ships were frightened at first sight, and many people knelt down directly, begging Planck to let them go, willing to pay all the money.
Because it was an escape, everyone brought everything of value with them, and the ship was full of gold, silver, jewelry, and other things, apparently they also thought that pirates were here for this, otherwise why were they called pirates.
They were not mistaken, Planck did not intend to let these men go in vain, but the people who were aiming the guns were not the people on the ships, but the harbor of Bilgewater.
"Install a high firing angle, adjust the degree of shelling, and get ready!"
Many people on the passenger ship have scolded Planck's ancestors dozens of times in their hearts, why they don't let people go when they give money, they have to kill people, but some people can see that the angle of these cannons does not seem to be facing the passenger ship, even so, there are still many people who are directly frightened and jump off the boat, and some people take out weapons and prepare to resist.
"Put!" An order was given, "Bang! "Bang!" The sound continued to sound, drawing a beautiful arc, and one by one the cannons flew towards the harbor of Bilgewater, rushing towards the pile of insects.
Many people have already started hand-to-hand combat with insects, and this baptism of artillery fire is an indiscriminate attack, where the shelling is carried out, people and insects are destroyed, and some cannonballs fall on the houses, and the people below are not spared.
Planck looked at the harbor where the fireworks were lit, lit a cigarette, placed a glass of orange juice, and smiled inexplicably at the corner of his mouth.
Everyone is gone, Bilgewater has actually become like this, it seems that the timid city lord should also get out, isn't this waiting for me to reap the benefits of the fisherman? When this is over, I will be the king of Bilgewater!
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and Planck ordered the locks and decks to be erected onto the passenger ship.
"Let them bring the money up, haha!"
