Chapter 290: The Horn of Counterattack and Forced Demolition!
Air support from the "Storm Horn" immediately alleviated the critical situation faced by the "Fortress".
From Major General Coverdale to the ordinary soldiers with smoky faces all breathed a sigh of relief.
But.
At this time, the battle at the mouth of the sea was far from over.
Because, the two large species "Iron Armored Seahorse" and "Ghost Shrimp", which are responsible for blocking the sea surface, are still swimming on the sea near the estuary, and even hissing after seeing the failure of their companion's attack and have begun to turn.
Poofโโ!
Click!
Even if the last nail "fortress" holding the mouth of the sea has been saved, even if Huggins's army of sea monsters is really as the major general expected, all stranded on the riverbed where the tide recedes.
But as long as these two large species remain, Huggins, who had been withdrawn from the upper Leiden River, will be able to retreat calmly.
It's just that.
The target of the two-headed sea monster now is not a half-crippled "fortress" that seems to fall down with a blow.
Instead, Solomon and his fourth-class battleship "Royal Guard" had arrived from the other side of the "Storm Horn" that had already arrived before Aven!
Obviously, it is easier for them to solve it than a fortress on land, or a warship at sea.
However, the image of the returning "Royal Guard" at this time is really a bit strange.
Except for the golden banner of the Kingdom of Taylor, which fluttered high on the mainmast, all the sails on the battleship had been completely lowered.
But the entire hull of the battleship was slightly above the water, and it galloped towards it as if it were flying!
If you look closely, you can see that in the sea below the bow of the ship, a huge fur seal that is translucent and seems to be composed entirely of seawater is poking its head.
The fur seals made of seawater surround the "Royal Guardian" with a ribbon of water extending from its body, turning every ounce of power in the surrounding waves into the surging power of the battleship.
Solomon's Demon: Cypes.
The demon species is a large fur seal-like water elemental creature with a body length of more than 20 meters. At the same time, it is also the dependant of Baipa, one of the seventy-two highest demon gods recorded in the Golden Book of Solomon.
The demon god Baipa, a duke in the lower realms, is a mermaid of wisdom in the form of a monster, and has a variety of extraordinary abilities corresponding to navigation.
It was this ability that influenced his dependents, making them excellent assistants to ships on the voyage. Even if he doesn't have any other abilities, just with the help of this speed, he is already a "god-level" demon.
Besides, as a water elemental monster living in the lower realm, how could its combat effectiveness be weak?
It is precisely because of such a powerful demon that the "Royal Guard", which is obviously farther away from the mouth of the sea than the "Storm Horn", can return faster than the "Storm Horn"!
If it weren't for the hunting of pirates, Solomon has always been in a game mentality, and he would have killed the pirates to cry and cry for his mother. Because as long as you get into his sight, it is impossible to escape.
However, it was obvious that he was just approaching the mouth of the sea and facing such a grand "welcome ceremony", which really frightened Solomon.
You must know that when the "Song of the Siren" was tested in "Newinn Harbour".
In the face of a "large sea devil", for the sake of insurance, the military dispatched a luxurious lineup of one first-class ship and three second-class ships.
Although it is a super-large sea monster with an overall length of more than 240 meters, it has already stepped into the ranks of giant species with half a foot.
Now let the "Royal Guard" a fourth-class ship face a large species with an average body length of 70 meters at both ends, even if you have a lot of hole cards, it is simply a long life.
Moreover, seeing that the fortress is already half-broken, there is no hope at all.
Solomon gave a decisive order.
"All men are in combat readiness!Guns are long loaded!Targets: Two large sea monsters. Free fire, fire!"
Before the two large species could join in, the "Royal Guard" had already taken the lead in attacking.
"What's the matter, when did this guy who has always been cheating and cheating so active?
Dozens of kilometers away, Ai Wen saw such a scene clearly through the vision of a seabird.
As soon as he let out a three-point admiration for Solomon's sense of responsibility at the critical moment, he realized that he was still too young.
Boom, boom, boom...
The scattered salvo of battleships barely hit a single shot.
But the roar of artillery fire succeeded in interrupting the action of the two large scattered packets, trying to block the battleship in the middle, and chased them from behind the buttocks, shoulder to shoulder.
"Sail northwest, full speed ahead!"
Then, Evan saw the speed of the "Royal Guard" surge another notch, and it was heading at full speed for... rushed in their own direction.
"Petram, you bastard!"
Even with the help of the Shipbow Goddess, the Storm Horn gains a full 30% speed bonus, and it takes about two hours to reach the mouth of the sea.
Based on the current distance and relative speed between the two, it is expected that it will only take more than 20 minutes to meet!
This guy didn't want to be a hero who turned the tide at all, and killed the remaining two large species directly, clearly with the idea of dragging the "Storm Horn" into the water to fight against two.
Maybe there is still a plan to avenge the last arrow.
It's really hard to change!
Behind the two sea monsters chasing away, after experiencing a round of "justice from heaven", the "water cannon humpback whale" has resurfaced, but the appearance is really miserable, the fin leaves are broken, and even the stiff carapace wrapped in the head has a very conspicuous crack.
On top of that, the bony "barrel" sticking out diagonally above the head has been completely broken, and it can no longer fire any shells except for spraying water.
Step, step, step...
In the face of this last enemy, it was impossible for the general to continue to shrink, so he drew his long sword and dragged a long white line on the surface of the sea, and rushed towards it.
At all costs.
The horn of the counterattack at the mouth of the sea has finally sounded.
In the face of the Pirate King, who has an army of sea monsters under his command, the five-headed sea monsters are just a fraction, even if they try their best to wipe out all these sea monsters, they will not actually affect the key battle situation on the Pirate King's side.
But as long as they hold their own defense zone and don't let the sea monsters left here have the opportunity to wreak havoc on the coast, they are worthy of the military badge on their shoulders.
Moreover.
"Even if you die, let Huggins leave a piece of meat!"
It is already the last stubbornness of the native officers and soldiers born in Sri Lanka, led by Major General Coverdale!
........
Boom, boom...
In the Golden Lion City, four "giant hammer mantis shrimps" are doing the work of the demolition team, and the splendid headquarters of the "Dutch Banking Group" may cost dozens or hundreds of times that of the fortress at the mouth of the sea, but the degree of solidity is 108,000 miles behind.
Even the "fortress" can't withstand the hammering of the "mantis shrimp", let alone such an ordinary building?
And it's a professional demolition team composed of four "mantis shrimps"!
In just a few minutes, tall minarets, ribbed vaults, flying buttresses, expensive transparent glass windows, and a whole six-story "bank corps headquarters building" have been completely razed to the ground!
In the middle of the ruins is a stepped circular pit made entirely of granite, and at the bottom of the pit is a pure steel mechanical gate with a total weight of more than 200 tons.
At this time, the gates that had been installed here since the construction of the Great Underground Vault were re-exposed to the outside world for the first time.
Because of the magical effect of alchemy, the gate of a hundred and twenty years ago still shines with an extremely cold and hard luster even now.
Solid, reliable and unshakable!
Moreover, it is clear that it has entered the highest level of alert, and is completely locked from the inside.
Unless all 16 directors of the syndicate with authority are present, it will be possible to open the door together.
However, for Huggins, the scene at this time has been rehearsed countless times in his mind, how can a mere door stop him?
Knock โโ! knockโโ!
In the middle of the cave mountain, four "giant hammer mantis shrimps" have retreated, and two "earthquake two-headed turtles" and four "earth-bellied snake lizards" have been grabbed.
Moo...!
Hiss...!
They divide into two groups in the southwest and northeast directions of the gate, each circle a circle, and begin ... Punch the hole!
Each group of two "earth-bellied snake lizards" intersected head and tail in opposite directions, one on the outside and the other on the inside, while the "earthquake two-headed turtle" stood outside the circle.
The "Soil-bellied Snake Lizard" can easily turn rocks into muddy water, and the "Earthquake Two-Headed Turtle" can accurately destroy the rock structure underground, and the muddy water in the enclosed circle will immediately surge out, which is more efficient than any modern drilling equipment!
Whoa....
Soon, two craters with a diameter of about ten meters gradually appeared.
The so-called alchemy, which turns rocks as hard as steel, does not hinder the sea monsters' innate abilities.
This is still the relationship between them and their deliberate control of the strength in order to prevent the complete collapse of the underground vault.
Because, Huggins wanted the precious collection inside, not the destruction of the big coffers.
Even so.
With the efficiency of these six giant beasts, it may not take more than twenty minutes to completely open the first layer of the vault located 15 meters underground!
Huggins, standing in the middle of a group of behemoths, looked up at the resplendent "Cathedral" not far from here, and the only force that could hinder him now, and muttered to himself:
"I hope you gods can be a little more sensible, and don't bother me..."
