Chapter 17: The Clarion Call for Counterattack
No wind zone, Nine Snake Island.
Nine Snake Island has always been synonymous with mystery in the eyes of the world, because no outsider has ever been able to approach here, but when Li Xuan landed on this island, this island, which should have been a paradise, has been filled with war.
"Boom~"
The continuous shelling continued to land on the island, and standing in the dense jungle, you could see patches of fire rushing into the sky.
"What's the situation?"
Walking in the air, looking at the ten giant naval warships outside the island from a distance continuously firing dense shells towards Nine Snake Island, Li Xuan frowned slightly, in the original book, it seems that the navy did not make a move on Nine Snake Island, why ...... now?
"Woo Woo Woo ~ "
In the sound of arrows breaking through the air, more than a dozen arrow clusters shot through Li Xuan's figure, but the strange thing was that there was no scene of blood splashing, the arrow clusters seemed to be shot in the air, piercing Li Xuan's figure, and then shooting into the distance without stopping.
"Be careful!" Looking at the figure that gradually dissipated in the air, the bellflower raised his eyebrows, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he reacted randomly, and warned his companions urgently.
"What the hell is going on? Why did the Navy launch an attack on Nine Snake Island? The indifferent voice sounded behind itself, causing the faces of the bellflower and dozens of Nine Snake Island Protector soldiers to change, and they all turned their heads together, and the clusters of cold arrows instantly locked Li Xuan.
"Who are you?" Kikyo looked at Li Xuan in horror, the other party's strength was obviously far beyond her estimates.
"Answer my question! What about Snake Hime? Li Xuan's eyes were cold, and his knife-like gaze swept over the women of different heights, and in his indifferent voice, there was an undoubted majesty: "Besides, don't aim these things at me!" ”
"I don't know. The navy suddenly launched an attack on Nine Snake Island today without warning, and it is still in the process of test firing, and in a while, I am afraid that it will land! Kikyo said helplessly: "Your Majesty has not returned yet." ”
"Xiu Xiu Xiu~" At the moment of speaking, it seemed that he found the figure here, for a moment. At least dozens of shells were fired at this side, and the faces of the bellflower and the group of protectors changed greatly, with such a dense number of shells, they didn't have time to fight back, and the coverage of dozens of shells, even if it was dodged, was very difficult.
"Humph!" With a cold snort, the women only felt a chill suddenly rise in their bodies, and the next moment. Without warning, the incoming cannonballs seemed to be sliced by sharp blades, and then exploded in the air.
"The navy actually made a move on Nine Snake Island, it seems that there is a problem on the side of the Nine Snake Pirates!" Li Xuan frowned, although he didn't know the reason, but the current situation had obviously explained the reason, ten navy top warships, this is the level of the Demon Slayer Order. The navy launched the demon slaying order at this time, are they crazy?
"How many warriors are there on the island?" Li Xuan turned around. Looking at Kikyo, this woman with a high ponytail and slender phoenix eyes seems to have a high status among the warriors on this island.
"The people of Nine Snake Island, every one of them is the best warrior!" Kikyo hasn't spoken yet. A stout female warrior beside her replied.
"Are all soldiers in the country?" The corners of Li Xuan's mouth twitched, the situation was better than he imagined, he looked at the bellflower and said, "How many fighters are there like you?" ”
"There are about 200 national defenders on the island, but it's a pity that ...... There are probably less than 100 people left. Except for us, they are guarding the city at the moment. Kikyo looked at the burning forest, and a sadness rose in his eyes, obviously, casualties had already begun to appear.
"Okay, I'm a friend of Snake Queen, since she is not here, you can listen to my command for the time being, take down these ten warships first, and then go to rescue Snake Queen!" Li Xuan said in a deep voice.
"Who are you? Why do we believe you? "It's still the sturdy woman before, but at this moment, her words also represent the voices of everyone present, although she is in awe of Li Xuan's previous means of chopping dozens of cannonballs in a hurry, but it is related to the safety of the entire Nine Snake Island, in this critical situation, no one dares to believe Li Xuan's words easily.
"You don't have a choice." Li Xuan looked at everyone coldly, waved his hand, and the cannonballs that came all over the sky turned into powder, and his eyes finally looked at the bellflower and said, "You are the leader here?" ”
"That's right, in Xia Kikyo, it's the captain of the Nine Snake Island Protector Warriors!" Kikyo nodded.
"You appoint one person who will be responsible for directing the rest to set off with me, and you can go back and continue to organize the defense, and as for the others, I need people to sail for me!" The situation is critical, since the navy dares to openly besiege Nine Snake Island, I'm afraid that something has happened to Snake Ji, and it must be rescued as soon as possible. Li Xuan said coldly.
"Good!" Gritting his teeth, Kikyo looked at a girl with bright yellow hair, and said in a deep voice, "Margaret obeys!" ”
"Yes!" The girl instinctively straightened up and said respectfully.
"Now, I appoint you as the deputy captain of the Nine Snake Island Protector Warrior Guard, and lead the others to follow him to rescue Your Majesty, there must be no mistake!" Kikyo said coldly.
"But......" The other Protectors, including Margaret, changed their faces when they heard this, and looked at Kikyo anxiously.
"The stakes are high, and I will bear all the consequences!" Kikyo glanced at Li Xuan deeply, his eyes sharpened, and he said sharply.
"Yes!" Margaret and the group of national protectors were in good shape and solemn.
"Your Majesty's safety, please entrust Your Excellency!" Kikyo glanced at Li Xuan and bowed deeply.
"Don't worry!" Li Xuan nodded and said to Margaret, "Take your people, follow me!" ”
"Yes." Under Li Xuan's strength, almost instinctively, Margaret chose to obey.
"They are all excellent warriors, please treat them well!" Before leaving, Kikyo bent down to Li Xuan again.
"Don't worry, there will be no less!" Li Xuan nodded, ten warships, five lieutenant generals, to deal with an island like O'Hara that has little defense, it may be enough, but to deal with Nine Snake Island, it may not be able to crush, but at present, ten warships have formed a blockade on Nine Snake Island, not in a hurry to go to the island, but to suppress it with artillery fire, forcing the people on the island to give up the advantage of geography and take the initiative to attack, which makes the defenders suffer a lot of damage, this is undoubtedly a very clever and also quite unreasonable strategy, that is, to bully Nine Snake Island There is no long-range attack means, so it can be suppressed by artillery fire, If it's hand-to-hand. Even if they can win in the end, there are probably not many people on these ten warships who can go back, but it is precisely because of this that the casualties on Nine Snake Island have been indirectly reduced.
"Lieutenant General, all the rebels who came to sneak attack have been killed!" Above the warships of the Navy. A major flew up to the fighting dog wiping his sword.
"Our casualties?" Fighting Dog Scar's staggered face didn't have much expression, just asked indifferently.
"We participated in the battle with 200 people and 128 casualties!" The major said in a deep voice.
"It is worthy of a fighting nation!" The fighting dog put his treasure knife in the sun, admired the bright blade, and said without looking back: "Continue to suppress with artillery fire, Nine Snake Island, it is definitely different from our previous opponents, even if there is no Hancock, we must not underestimate the enemy!" ”
"Yes!" The major agreed. Just as he was about to leave, he saw a figure rising into the air in the dense forest in the distance, stepping on the void and shooting towards this side.
"Lieutenant General, look!" The major exclaimed.
"Huh?" The fighting dog turned his head, and when he saw Li Xuan coming through the sky, his face couldn't help but change: "Why is he here?" ”
The voice did not fall. A fierce sword qi had already broken through the air, and a hundred meters of sword gang volleyed down towards the entire battleship.
"Damn it!" The fighting dog shouted angrily. The long knife in his hand did not shy away from facing the sword that broke through the air, and let out a loud shout from his mouth.
"Boom~"
The blade collided with the blade, and the huge blade pressed down the burly body of the fighting dog, and the feet stepped on the ground, and the sturdy deck suddenly centered on the fighting dog's feet, producing countless cracks and spreading around. The fighting dog roared angrily, and shook the knife away, but coughed up a mouthful of blood in his mouth, and looked at the person in shock.
"You can stop me, Lieutenant General of the Headquarters. Some skills. Li Xuan stopped in the air, just stood in the void, volleyed down, his eyes coldly glanced at the fighting dogs and the elite of the navy who were like a great enemy, and said indifferently: "Surrender, or...... Die! ”
"Surrender?" The corners of the fighting dog's bloody mouth pulled up a disdainful smile, and he straightened his chest and raised his head and said, "You are also worthy!?" ”
"That's dead!" Li Xuan snorted coldly, no longer said more, and the thick-backed knife in his hand slashed down in the air again, still a hundred-meter-long sword, but this time, the momentum was stronger than the previous one.
The fighting dog's face changed, and he shouted: "Run!" The steel knife in his hand did not hesitate to meet it.
"Qiang~"
There is no stalemate, the air sends out ripples of fluctuation under this knife, as if it may be cut at any time, the treasure knife that the fighting dog loves like a treasure, under this knife is as fragile as tofu, it is easily cut off, and at the same time, it is cut open, as well as his body, until death, the fighting dog does not believe that he is unable to take the other party's second knife, in the divided world, the battleship is also under this incomparably domineering knife, from which it was cut in two, countless naval elites who have not had time to escape, have not escaped the doom, was slashed by the scattered sword qi, and the nearby sea area was instantly dyed red.
"Wow~"
The battleship that split from it did not happen in the imagination, and at the moment of collapse, it turned into countless neat fragments, along with countless mutilated corpses of the navy, and fell into the sea.
Behind him, Margaret and the others, who could rush to the scene, looked at this discordant scene in disbelief, slashed down with a knife, and the boat was dead and silent until the sea was dyed red, and no complete corpse was found to float to the surface.
"Gott~"
Finally, someone couldn't help but vomit, the warriors of Nine Snake Island were not afraid of death, let alone facing death, but the bloody scene in front of them still broke through the limit of their hearts.
"Bastard!" With a roar, four figures jumped up from the other four battleships at the same time, and the four lieutenant generals stepped on the moon and shot in the direction of Li Xuan.
"I can't help myself!" Li Xuan snorted coldly, and with a wave of the blade, the sword qi in the sky shrouded the four lieutenant generals who rose into the air and the dozens of major general-level masters who jumped up afterwards, and the endless sword qi rolled wildly, instantly forming a blood-colored storm, accompanied by countless terrible screams, the general-level masters under the general, for Li Xuan, were not much different from mortals.
The sword qi swept over, countless stumps and broken arms fell, and even a lieutenant general was wiped out by the endless sword qi in this sword qi storm, and the remaining three lieutenant generals fell to the ground and looked at Li Xuan with a shocked face.
Even if he had received a notice from the Navy Headquarters in advance that he would never be able to defeat this person, it was still difficult to hide the shock in his heart when he really faced it!
The dignified lieutenant general is not the place where the other party is together, even if the four lieutenant generals and dozens of major generals join forces, the final result still breaks their hearts, and the demon slaying order, in the face of this person, it seems to have become a joke.
"Surrender, or...... Die! Looking at the remaining three lieutenant generals covered in bruises, Li Xuan's figure slowly fell on a battleship, and the same words, spoken again at this moment, gave the three lieutenant generals and all the remaining navies a lot of pressure on the warship.
Life or death, it is a simple multiple-choice question, but for the three lieutenant generals at this moment, it is a dilemma!
Insisting on justice in the heart is undoubtedly the most correct for soldiers, but such consequences are extremely cruel, which will mean that the 5,000 naval elites who participated in this operation will be completely wiped out.
As veteran navy veterans, all three of them had participated in more than one demon slaying order, and for the first time felt how painful those who were the targets of their attacks were.
"Boom~"
In the moment when the three of them were silent, a huge sword bombarded a battleship without warning, like a battleship of fighting dogs, and the stumps and broken arms accompanied by the shattered corpses of countless naval soldiers fell into the sea, and the three of them looked at Li Xuan angrily, five thousand elites, plus the previous casualties, now there are less than four thousand.
"I'm sorry, but I don't have much patience left, and I don't have much time left for the three of you!" Li Xuan's eyes pressed at the three vice admirals, masters of this level, although in front of Li Xuan, there was not much ability to resist, but it was undeniable that in this sea, the level of vice admiral was already the existence of cutting-edge combat power.
Since he decided to establish his own forces in the future, if such a high-end combat force can be subdued, Li Xuan is not willing to kill him at will.
Behind them, Margaret and the others looked at this scene blankly, thinking that it would be an earth-shattering and tragic battle, but the fact seemed to be quite different from their imagination, it seemed that they had no chance to make a move except for following Li Xuan over.
"I'm sorry for your hesitation, I am very dissatisfied!" In the unspeakable silence, Li Xuan raised the knife in his hand again.
"Wait!" A lieutenant general finally couldn't bear the inner torment and spoke.
"Boom~" Dao Gang slashed down again, accompanied by the silence of a battleship.
"It's too slow!" Li Xuan turned his head and looked at the three lieutenant generals silently.
"You ......" Lieutenant General glared at Li Xuan angrily, and finally, he weakly threw away the weapon in his hand and fell to his knees: "I choose to surrender!" ”
"Maynard!" The other two lieutenant generals looked angrily at the kneeling lieutenant general.
"Please, spare my soldiers!" Ignoring the roars of the two colleagues, Maynard looked at Li Xuan bitterly.
"Good!" Li Xuan looked at the other two, Maynard's strength was not strong, and he was able to avoid the storm of sword qi, which was somewhat of a stroke of luck, but his softness was obviously a heavy blow to the will of the navy, and it was also the last straw that broke the camel's back.
"What about you?" Li Xuan looked at the other two.
"Qiang Chang~" Another lieutenant general threw away the weapon in his hand and slowly knelt on the ground.
"You~" The last stubborn lieutenant general glared at the two of them angrily, and was about to speak, but a hole suddenly opened in his throat, and his throat was cut by the knife in an instant.
"Two lieutenant generals, that's enough, you can die!" Li Xuan slowly walked in front of the dead lieutenant general, snorted coldly, and looked at the two lieutenant generals kneeling on the ground: "Leave the necessary operators of a battleship, and the others put down their weapons and get off the ship immediately!" ”
A trace of aggrieved anger flashed in the eyes of the two lieutenant generals, but they were helpless, in the face of Li Xuan's strength, they could only choose to compromise, and at the same time, Li Xuan asked Margaret to inform the people of Nine Snake Island to come and take over these prisoners, but the accompanying national protectors had already boarded a battleship under Li Xuan's order.
In addition to the original fighting dogs, the other four lieutenant generals are of average strength, not the powerful lieutenant generals of the headquarters that Li Xuan knows, since they are not here, they must be on Hancock's side, although until now, Li Xuan still does not know what happened to make the navy suppress Nine Snake Island strongly, but at the moment, the reason is obviously not important. (To be continued......)
