Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The battlefield at the mouth of the sea was filled with gunsmoke, and a cyan cloud had almost formed over the fortress.

The fierce battle between more than a thousand defenders of a fortress and five large species has been going on for a long time, even if it is actually only a few dozen minutes, but to the defenders, it seems like a second like a year.

And in the battle, all five large species have shown their true faces in front of the garrison:

"Skeleton Moray Eel", "Ironclad Seahorse", "Giant Hammer Mantis Shrimp", "Water Cannon Humpback Whale" and a "Ghost Shrimp" that disappears from time to time.

With one against five, it was an extremely difficult battle no matter what.

Even if the fortress had crossfire comparable to that of a battleship, it was still overstretched in the face of a siege of five large species.

The only good news was that the bastion was built in the middle of a headland jutting out of the sea, and the solid land provided a long enough distance between the defenders and the sea monsters.

Wherever the Kraken attacked, it would eventually have to launch a landing operation to destroy the impregnable bastion, which created an opportunity for the artillerymen to use their guns to full potential.

If the fortress is replaced with a battleship with the same firepower, even if the "Song of the Kraken" can pull the Kraken into the plane battlefield, the battleship must have sunk to the bottom of the sea at this time.

Although it was very difficult, the fortress finally persevered.

It's just hard to say how long it will last

Among the five sea monsters, the "ironclad seahorse" with no limbs and the "ghost shrimp" that will be forgotten when it almost melts into the seawater, are obviously used as a defensive force to control the sea surface, and the threat to the fortress is not too great for the time being.

In fact, they themselves hid far away, but they clamped down on the estuary with the force of their horns.

Even the nature of transcendent creatures cannot allow them to break through the limitations of their respective physiological structures to complete the landing operation, and even if they forcibly land, they will only become a living target for the fortress.

But.

Among the remaining three large species, in addition to the "skeleton moray eel" that has the most violent temperament and has been driven into the sea by artillery fire, and the "giant hammer mantis shrimp" that is dressed in a colorful heavy carapace and wanders around the periphery like an ironclad train, there is also a particularly difficult guy among the sea monsters.

Whoa!

The "Large Species Water Cannon Humpback Whale" is similar in appearance to the sea monster of Tiinkut the "Tide Shepherd".

Bony armor encloses its massive head, except for a long bony "barrel" that extends from the nostrils of a normal whale.

This "bone cannon" can fire a powerful compressed "water cannon" at a rate of four rounds per minute, which is equal to the combined force of two 32-pounder guns in terms of lethality and rate of fire.

If this kind of compressed "water cannonball" hits the outer wall of the fortress, the fortress, which was originally born to cope with the shelling, is certainly not afraid, and the heavy layer of rammed earth will absorb the kinetic energy of the "cannonball" itself.

But if it is flying towards the second layer of turrets, it has to be treated with caution, as any water cannon shell will cause huge damage to the gunner.

Fortunately, it was not only ordinary soldiers guarding this place, but also a third-order grand knight, Major General Coverdale!

Again in the face of the whistling "water cannonballs".

"Drink!"

Because it was a land defensive battle, the major general who had already changed into a full-covered heavy armor for the first time, holding a big sword and a pure steel iris-shaped shield, let out a loud shout from his mouth.

【Transcendent Mystery Iron Wall!】

The great knight was surrounded by blazing fighting spirits, wielding his sword and shield and moving quickly on the second-floor platform, blocking most of the incoming "water cannon shells".

Of course, even a third-order knight would not be able to use his body to block a high-density water ball with the same power as a heavy cannon.

The Major General mainly deflected and bounced the water balloon away with the smooth surface of the heavy shield, which was not too difficult to do with the extraordinary strength and control skills of the Grand Knight.

However, even if the major general did not miss anything, everyone knew that this was not a long-term solution.

The bastion's crossfire is certainly stronger than a sea monster, but this "water cannon humpback whale" has a longer range than a human cannon!

Other than that.

The infrasound waves emitted by the "Siren's Song" have a low frequency and long wavelength, so they can bypass large obstacles and diffraction is pervasive. It is also almost not absorbed by water and air, and is not easily attenuated, making it an excellent underwater weapon.

But after all, there is a power limit, and it is impossible to have the same lethality no matter how far away.

In the final test report of "Port Newin", the "Song of the Siren" has a certain degree of lethality and interference for large species of sea monsters, and needs to be coordinated by multiple "Song of the Siren" to achieve the expected goal.

Therefore, there is no hope that the "Song of the Siren" can directly kill large species remotely.

As long as they do not actively approach, it is no problem to float on the surface of the sea for a short time to minimize the impact of infrasound.

This also made the defenders on the fortress have no good way to deal with the long-range attacking "whale", and even in order to avoid heavy casualties among the defenders, even the Supreme Commander and the only Grand Knight, Major General Coverdale, had to run for his life.

Hiss!

In between the firing of the "water cannon shell", the "Skeleton Moray Eel" ran out of patience and pounced again, using its strong body to swim quickly on the land like a snake, and pounced head-on on a "convex fort" in the bastion.

"Fire!"

Boom! Boom!

From this angle, the 12 heavy guns that could cover the moray eel within range and the spare 8-pounder guns fired at the same time, but the elongated size of the moray eel provided it with unique conditions for dodging shells.

And the body is covered with mucus, even if it is occasionally rubbed by stray bullets, it does not have much effect.

What's more, after several rounds of probing, the defenders discovered that this ugly guy possessed an extremely perverted racial talent [Danger Premonition].

Ability to react before a fatal danger arrives.

Not only did this make it harder to be hit by artillery fire, but it also managed to evade the fact that the defenders had mobilized all their small cannons to concentrate on it with a wide range of grapeshot.

Therefore, even if 16 guns were fired at the same time, it would only plowed a blue wound in its tail.

Based on previous experience, if it can't be killed in one hit, it will grow again after a while, and then it will be able to re-attack the headland alive.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

With the help of a stubby tentacle on its neck, the "Skeleton Moray Eel" approached the Boss Castle at a rapid pace.

Oddly enough, though.

This time, the close-range defensive fire, consisting of small cannons and muskets, did not arrive as before.

This "moray eel" did not hesitate and quickly pounced along the slope of the first layer of the fortress.

When they got closer, the defenders finally saw what kind of behemoth they were fighting against, and even if they had the order to suspend the attack and retreat with all the troops in retreat, they couldn't help but shudder.

The body is already more than 80 meters long, and the thickest point is nearly 5 meters taller than a one-story building, and the hideous head covered by the hard carapace alone is 10 meters long.

The large species is worthy of being a large species, and the small species with a body length of no more than 30 meters are simply two dimensions.

hiss

Long hiss were already ringing in the ears of the defenders, and many were trembling even with their eyes closed.

The next moment.

The huge head like a white skull jerked out, its small sunken eyes scowling inwards with cunning and cruelty, and its long mouth opening to reveal a mouth full of sharp teeth like long swords.

Although I don't understand why the humans here suddenly ceased fire, it has only been "out of the factory" for a few months, and it does not have such a high-end way of thinking as "intrigues" in its head, and it can't wait to indulge its strong killing instinct against the defenders!

Just haven't waited for it to be put into action.

[Danger!]

Suddenly, the "premonition of danger" that had fallen silent because it had not been shelled gave it a signal of crisis that had never been stronger!

If you don't care about the fresh meat that has reached your mouth, you have to turn your head and retreat.

It's just that a "snake-like" creature can still fly without legs, but backwards are a big problem for them.

And the major general ordered it to be put on the fortress, waiting for this moment!

Bang!!!

The steel boots stepped on the ground, and even this section of the castle seemed to tremble.

A thunderous flame of fighting light shot up from the top of the Boss Fort, smashing into the "Skeleton Eel's" gaping jaw.

【Oyi Steel City Shield Strike!】

The lower end of the pure steel iris shield is a sharp triangular structure.

As the exclusive weapon of Major General Coverdale, it has long been carefully bladed by craftsmen, and several enhancements have been added to alchemy, which is no worse than any transcendent weapon in terms of hardness and sharpness alone.

Clang!

The heavy shield and the sea monster's bony jaws collided violently, exploding with a loud bang.

Then, a crisp "click" sound reached the ears of all the defenders.

Look up.

The long jaw of the "skeleton moray eel" wrapped in bone armor was broken.

The violent impact caused the Major General to throw backwards and smash back into the Boss Fort, and the hard confrontation with the large species made him equally uncomfortable.

Previously, it had been in a stalemate with the "Water Cannon Humpback Whale" for a long time, and it was extremely expensive, even if it was now equipped with full-body heavy armor, it would not be able to get up for a while.

After eating his transcendent meaning, the battered sea monster fell dizzily and fell heavily from the 30-meter-high platform on the second floor of the fortress.

boom

The beast fell, and the earth shook.

"Fire!"

The deputy commander, who had been prepared for a long time, seized the opportunity and decisively gave the order.

The orange-red cannon flames on the wall bloomed in unison!

More than a dozen whistling iron cannonballs were poured down on the fallen sea monster!

Almost close at hand, the artillerymen had no reason to miss a huge target in dizziness.

During the concentrated fire attack, the heavy iron cannonball finally burrowed into the flesh of the "skeleton eel" head-on, exploding bloody holes one after another.

In just one minute, even the slowest 32-pounder gun fired two rounds, and before the blue-blooded "Skeleton Moray Eel" could regain consciousness, its head and chest junction were struck off by the bastion's crossfire!

During this period, even after enduring the heavy casualties caused by the re-opening of the "water cannon humpback whale", the garrison gritted their teeth and none of them dodged.

Finally, the first large species has been successfully killed!

It was also the first drop of blood paid after the invasion of the sea monster!
