After killing the "Skeleton Eel".

Without waiting for the garrison at the head of the city to breathe a sigh of relief, the "Giant Hammer Mantis Shrimp", which had been roaming around the periphery and waiting for an opportunity, finally landed on the land of the headland.

Whoa, whoa, whoa....

Previously, it had remained indifferent to its companions. It was only after his companion was killed that he began to act.

Moreover, the "giant hammer mantis shrimp" that moves after planning is obviously much more cunning than the "skeleton moray eel" who only knows how to rush with a reckless head.

Due to the unique design of the "Bastion", it is guaranteed that the enemy will face the fire of 2-3 forts at the same time, no matter which direction of attack he attacks.

Having learned from its companions, it did not choose to take the seemingly isolated but actually covered by firepower from all sides, but rushed to the "middle embankment" between the two convex forts.

Although it would also be covered by the heavy artillery of the convex forts on both sides, the "middle embankment" facing it was only 8-pounder cannons and a group of musketeers with guns.

This choice may not make much sense for humans, but it is the best attack for the "mantis shrimp", which is large and heavily armored and obviously difficult to move around on land.

This sea monster, whose real age can only be measured in "months", clearly shows a hunting wisdom that far surpasses that of its companions.

Rustle...

The colorful carapace with a cold and hard luster completely enveloped the whole body of the super mantis shrimp, like a train covered in iron armor, and it took countless slender steps on its abdomen, like a rat woman unhurriedly moving forward.

Boom, boom, boom...

Bell –

Bell –

Iron shells hit the carapace.

Mars splash!

It doesn't have the Danger Premonition ability of the Skeleton Moray Eel, and can dodge the cannonballs that fly towards it, but its carapace is its most powerful shield.

The super strong bio-armor limits its movement speed and agility while also giving it terrifying defensive capabilities.

Even if the same place is hit two or three times in a row, it is just a harmless rift, not to mention that for a front-loading smoothbore gun with impressive accuracy, how can a moving target be hit in the same place in a row?

The defenders were not given more time to react.

It ran all the way to the bottom of the rammed-earth buffer slope of the fortress, its head raised high, where the normal "mantis shrimp" should have grown antennae nodes and was replaced by a clump of elongated tentacles.

However, the tentacles will only give the sea monster a stronger sense than the original.

The red tentacles on its head kept dancing, as if it was thinking about where to start, especially in the previous cannonball attack of the "Water Cannon Humpback Whale", it already knew that the rammed earth layer below up to 20 meters high had a strong cushion, and its own attack might not be effective.

So....

The tail limb rubs against the ventral surface of the tail segment and makes a "click... The crisp sound of "click" is like the loud drumbeat of the army before the attack!

The upper body of the "Giant Hammer Mantis Shrimp" was raised by a full 25 meters, and even though the continuous close-range artillery fire had begun to shatter its shell, it did not care in the slightest.

Because the next moment... It's a shock!

Boom——!!!

In the dazzling light of the fire, it seemed as if an entire ammunition depot had exploded.

The earth shakes and the mountains shake.

Countless pieces of masonry and dirt were thrown into the air, mixed with heavy black iron cannons, unfired ammunition, and... A human body as bloody as rags.

To the left of it, the place where the "middle embankment" connects with the "Boss Fort" has completely disappeared, and even the "Boss Fort" has been "blown up" in half.

The hundreds of defenders in this range didn't even have time to say a word, and they were all wiped out in an instant!

Only then did it slowly retract a jawfoot with three pairs of serrated teeth like a flattened sledgehammer, and it was obvious that the devastating blow just now came from this terrible foot.

This is the "giant hammer mantis shrimp" for predation and defense of the enemy's terrifying weapon, known as limb plunder.

When it attacks its prey, it can eject a giant hammer of incredible hardness in 100,000th of a second, and the high temperature generated by the powerful impact of the ejection can even ionize the surrounding air and produce lightning-like fire.

And the tragic state of the Boss Castle has made the best explanation of its attack power!

"Click... Click..."

With one blow, the tail limbs of the "giant hammer mantis shrimp" rubbed against the ventral surface of the tail segment and made that crisp sound again, as if celebrating their victory.

However, this voice was heard by the defenders who narrowly escaped in the fortress, but it was like a talisman issued to themselves!

Almost a quarter of the bastions were destroyed with just one blow, and how long would it take to destroy an entire bastion and all of its own people in the bastion?

One minute or two minutes?

"Giant Hammer Mantis Shrimp" uses absolute defense and absolute attack power to make everyone who has just killed a sea monster and has not had time to enjoy the victory, instantly fall from the top of the mountain into the darkest abyss!

Trample.. Trample.. Trample..

Major General Coverdale, the Grand Knight, who had just burst out to collide with the "Large Species Skeleton Eel", had barely recovered at this time, and walked to the front of the team on the gravel on the second platform of the fortress.

The fighting spirit of a knight has always been an explosive and extraordinary energy, and there is no such thing as being able to fight the enemy for three days and three nights.

With each burst, the intensity only gets weaker and weaker, until only the strength of the flesh itself remains.

The Major General also knew very well that after fending off the "Water Cannon Humpback Whale" and killing the "Skeleton Moray Eel" successively, he might be able to carry out one or two outbursts that had just reached the level of [Aoyi Steel City Shield Strike].

But there is not a shred of confidence in defeating the seemingly weak enemy in front of him, at least not at all until it demolishes the entire "bastion"!

However, if you can't defeat it, you have to... War!

He met the eyes of the gray-faced officers and soldiers around him, slowly raised the long sword in his hand, and firmly announced his determination and oath to the soldiers:

"For the innocent and tragic deaths of the people!

For our fallen comrades!

For His Majesty's Majesty!

Fight to the death!

"Fight to the death!"

"Fight to the death!"

The soldiers shouted in unison, pouring the scorching shells carrying their own anger on the "mantis shrimp" again.

.......

Sail downwind.

The "Bow Statue: Monsoon Goddess" is in full force, and the "Storm Horn", which has passed by the sea monster army, is back at full speed.

Thanks to a re-expanded reconnaissance network, Evan was able to take in the devastation of Nisker and the mouth of the sea halfway through, and everything was razed to the ground after the tsunami, leaving him devastated and corpses strewn all over the place.

Fluttering Ridge –

Two white seagulls flew over the ruins of the city.

The once beautiful water city of Niske is almost gone, and the beautiful buildings, performance squares, and bridges that crisscross the city are all over the city... and the restaurant I had just visited before we set sail.

Most of the urban areas close to the coast are gone, and even the buildings that survive by chance are crumbling at this time.

The crystallization of human civilization that has been built over hundreds of years, the treasures of countless arts, and those who love music, painting, sculpture, and all good things... Without.

After destroying everything, a large number of sea monsters have already gone upriver on the huge waves, and they don't know where they have gone, and the battle at the mouth of the sea has just entered the white heat.

In the "fortress", although the generals and artillerymen worked together to successfully kill a sea monster, the colorful "mantis shrimp" had already landed, and a "whale" was still firing "water cannonballs" from a distance, and the fortress was always in a situation of being passively beaten.

In particular, the range, power, and rate of fire of the "water cannon shell" are already comparable to modern artillery, while the range of the front-loading smoothbore gun in the "Fortress" is backward, and there is no power to fight back at all!

When the seabirds took the situation over there into their field of vision, the battle situation of the "Fortress" was improving, and they had already won the first kill of the sea monster!

If you are facing a group of sea monsters head-on on the sea, of course, you will have to go as far as you can, and you must not do anything about eggs touching stones.

But according to the five heads besieging the "fortress" that I have seen so far, no, it is now a four-headed sea monster, and it is not that there is no chance for his side to make a bar.

Because he saw that on the other side of the headland, the battleship "Royal Guard", which had also returned, had already shown its head, and with the strength of the "Fortress" itself and Rear Admiral Coverdale's Grand Knight-class, this battle still had some chance of winning...

At the right time.

Boom——!!!

The "Giant Hammer Mantis Shrimp" delivered its earth-shattering blow.

The "fortress", which Ai Wen had high hopes for, disappeared a quarter in an instant.

The slap in the face came so fast!

"It's... This is... The mantis shrimp has become fine?"

Not only Aivan, but even Milan, who had been connecting his heart, instantly shudrewd when he saw this scene.

The mantis shrimp is a creature that is a giant in the sea even if it is miniaturized, and the pincers can release a huge amount of energy in an instant, directly smashing the shells of shellfish, and it is actually not surprising what kind of scene a giant mantis shrimp with a body length of nearly 100 meters can create.

As long as the "Giant Hammer Mantis Shrimp" comes three more times, there will be no "whales" with cold cannons in the distance, and this "fortress" that survived the tsunami will also disappear along with most of the Niske Water City.

But the "Cape Storm" is still close to 60 kilometers from the mouth of the sea, and even if the "Royal Guard" is a little closer, it is impossible to provide fire support at this time!

Evan realizes that he has to do something, or he can really consider starting a deserter--fugitive journey.

Da!

Quickly take out a chest stuffed with fluffy padding from the "magic pocket" and carefully place it on the ground.

Soon, one by one, the white seagulls grabbed the dark green [Powerful Voodoo Elixir] in the box, formed a flying formation and took off, and flew towards the mouth of the sea.

Then, the nine "Black-feathered Frigatebirds" and ten "Great Albatrosses" on hand followed, but instead of the potion in their claws, they clutched... Alchemy Bomb!

Looking at the backs of the seabirds and the distant mainland coastline, Evan muttered:

"Your Excellency Major General, hold on! Air support will arrive at the battlefield in ten minutes!"
