XXXIX. The Flames of War in London (I)
This large black ship is typical of the old Dutch Frut merchant ship, and is characterized by the hull of the flute boat and the extra-high depth. Because www.biquge.info the center of gravity is too high, it is difficult for the Font merchant ship to withstand the wind and waves of the North Atlantic, and can only operate in the narrow North Sea. This big ship, which is about 70 meters long, more than 20 meters wide and more than 10 meters high, is like a box. Its hull was upturned at both ends, and it floated on the surface of the sea like a coffin with a flag in it. The double-deck gun deck had the gun layout of an older ship, and was armed with only sixty 32-pounder guns. But this kind of artillery seems to be completely unafraid of seawater, and the muzzle of the cannon is dripping with water while firing the cannon...... Mighty.
Not only that, the tattered black sails and mottled black hull, the lively crew and various bony bodies, plus the freedom to go down and down the water, this is the ghost ship that crosses the North Atlantic and the Caribbean, the "Flying Dutchman".
Nezha looked at the ship that had been almost destroyed, and his face was a little embarrassed. He suddenly opened his hand and said to the bottom of the water: "Divine power is summoned!" ”
An unspeakable divine power seeped out from the ocean, and these water divine powers, which had become part of the sea, continued to come from the sea. In the depths of the sea, a large ship at the bottom of the sea trembled slightly, attracting the vigilance of the sea elements guarding the sea ships.
The divine power slowly flowed into Nezha's body, and Nezha's whole body was covered with black clouds. He squeezed it backhand, and there was an extra spear in his hand. He glanced coldly at the flying Dutchman, and then at the Norwegian sea monster, only to see that the sea monster was constantly surrounding the black pearl and constantly wearing tentacles.
This time, with a wave, the black cloud turned into dozens of shots into the sea, and then shot into the sea, and the black fog flew out with the souls of some fish. The fish's soul was twisted in the black mist and injected into the dead pirates, who opened their eyes to reveal completely black pupils. He pointed to the flying Dutchman and said, "Kill! ”
But the flying Dutchman was faster, and its guns were fired extremely fast, as if there was no need to add shells at all. But Nezha and the possessed pirates were undaunted, they ran at extraordinary speeds, and the artillery they operated returned fire. Compared to the decaying flying Dutchman, the merchant ships were more powerful and the guns were more terrifying. Often a single shot will blow up most of the flying Dutchman.
But the flying Dutchman, like a seal, nimbly dodged the fire of the surrounding ships, and then kept returning fire. That's an extreme flexibility, it has three directions on the surface and four directions to move underwater! I saw that whenever it couldn't resist, it simply went into the water to hide, and when it came out, even the wounds on the hull of the ship were "healed" for the most part! Even though the Flying Dutchman had been suffering non-stop damage, it was unable to inflict fatal damage.
The two ships were at a stalemate on the battlefield, and Nezha glanced at the flying Dutchman, and then turned his gaze to the Norwegian sea monster, revealing a fierce light. By this time, the Norwegian sea monster had destroyed the mast of the Black Pearl. Although the Black Pearl, under William's command, has injured the tentacles that are not the Norwegian sea monsters, the sea monsters have also used their tentacles to bind the Black Pearl and want to drag it to the bottom of the sea.
What's the hurry, in Lu Li's script, whether it is William and Elizabeth, or Captain Jack are all important characters, but they can't die. He hurriedly absorbed his divine power, raised his spear and prepared to shoot the sea monster.
At this time, Lu Li suddenly grabbed Nezha. Lu Li's will penetrates into the divine power that Na Zha has absorbed, and these divine powers are Lu Li's own, so they are naturally easy to manipulate. These divine powers were manipulated by Lu Li, and I saw him grab Nezha's shoulder, push Nezha forward, and say, "You go for me!" ”
That divine power suddenly transformed into some kind of power in Na Zha's body, but the slightest trace of divine power turned into endless magic power. Nezha's body expands and transforms with it.
His muscles became hideous, his skin became rough, and he spread his wings. Unspeakable evil emanates from his body, terrifying, terrifying. The infinite evil power poured into his body, and when Nazha rushed in front of the black pearl, his body was already extremely large, more than twenty meters. He had a dragon-like body, a pair of abominable wings, and a burning fire. The spear in his hand turned into a huge double-headed blade. Become an Abyss Lord.
He fell into the sea and raised his weapon to fork the sea monster. Two huge monsters stirred in the sea, fighting to the death in the horrified eyes of countless people. The sea monster has a body of more than 100 meters, which is larger than a ship, but after all, it is an ordinary creature; Compared to the Abyss Lord's Nezha is "petite", but the terrifying power he contains, and there is even more magic that cannot be believed.
The culprit, Lu Li, kept his mouth open, admiring the fight scene. Suddenly, he turned his head abruptly, revealing a surprised gaze. His gaze looked through his own "sacrifice" and saw the ancient city.
After a group of Celts invaded in 50 AD, they built a bridge across the Thames, and then discovered that it was a favorable location and built a port. Later, Roman merchants built a town by the bridge. This is the original London.
In 61 AD, Queen Boudicca led a popular revolt against Roman rule, and her army marched to London. London was destroyed in the war, and after the war it was rebuilt by Queen Boudicca. 597 monks from Rome came to London, who were Christians who had converted from the Saxons.
After the Anglo-Saxons, it was the Normans from northwestern France who left a deep mark on British history. Their leader, William, claimed his right to inherit the throne of the Anglo-Saxon Emperor Edward by blood and launched a major attack, and became the monarch of England, William I, known as "William the Conqueror".
Although the capital of England was located in Winchester, southwest of London, William also built a fortified Tower of London in eastern London to defend himself against the incursions of the rebels, as a means of asserting his authority. Under Norman rule, London finally became the capital of England in the 12th century AD.
Between the 14th and 17th centuries, the European continent was hit by the same plague. The deadly Black Death plague pandemic has decimated London's population dramatically. It is estimated that only two-thirds of the population survives.
In 1666, one of the worst fires in London's history took place, the Great Fire of London. Some 13,200 houses were destroyed by fire, including St. Paul's Cathedral. Some 800,000 people have been displaced and homeless. The king ordered the navy to help the city's rough sleepers set up tents, and in order to prevent this from happening again, the king ordered that all future houses in London should be built with stone and brick instead of wood. The fire, which was said to have been caused by human error, destroyed almost all of London's buildings, but it gave the city a chance to start over.
On the Thames, more than a dozen white-clad figures walked gently along the river.
The River Thames, which runs through the heart of London, makes London one of the world's most rewarding harbours. Moreover, the mouth of the Thames River is separated from the Rhine estuary on the European continent across the North Sea, opening a direct shipping channel to the richest regions of Europe. At the same time, London's prosper, due to its location halfway between the Mediterranean and the Baltic Sea, made it an ideal commercial port in the region.
The Thames River Valley has played an important role in British history. British statesman John Burns once said that the Thames is the most beautiful river in the world "because it is a flowing history".
"What is this London?" Lu Xiaofeng asked in disbelief.
"Yes, this is London." Hua Manlou replied with a smile. The floral fragrance of the orchid surrounds the building, isolating the filthy environment and filtering out the eerie smell. This is the blessing of flowers, bless this man like a flower god.
Words of a Hundred Flowers: Passive skills, extraordinary regeneration factors, legendary adaptation to the environment; Everything in the world has a soul, and a holy soul can allow you to listen to the whispers of a hundred flowers, and be blessed by a hundred flowers.
This is one of the characteristics of the flower tour, but it is unique to the flower building. For this reason, Lu Xiaofeng was extremely jealous, Lu Xiaofeng's level of Flower Tour was obviously one level higher than Hua Manlou's Flower Wandering Heart Method, but Hua Manlou had one more characteristic than him. This made him say sourly, it turns out that Baihua looks at faces, no wonder there are nymphosos.
Lu Xiaofeng looked at the city on tiptoe, and behind the three of them were more than a dozen heavenly pawns wearing white cloaks. The incident at the harbor has made them more aware of this danger, so they are accustomed to acting alone, and they also begin to act with their pawns. This is completely different from the city of their hometown, and they are deeply shocked. Lu Xiaofeng said: "This is the barbarian land of the later generations? What a great enemy. ”
"The hero sees the same thing, and I'm extremely glad that I came into this world at the moment." Hua Manlou narrowed his eyes slightly.
"I regret it." Lu Xiaofeng said.
"I already regret it." Hua Manlou said with a sigh.
"But even if you regret it, you have to do it." Lu Xiaofeng smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "After I die, I will definitely go to the eighteenth layer of hell." ”
"It's okay, we'll be together." Hua Manlou lamented. His gaze looked into the distance through the River Thames. It was a large ship, quietly approaching the port of London. The ship was silent, and when it entered the harbor, the people of the harbor realized its arrival.
A group of British soldiers pushed aside the coolies along the way in disgust and came to the big ship. They looked up, but saw that the deck of the great ship was lowered. Out came one man in white with a cloak after another. They lined up in four rows under the nervous gaze of the British soldiers.
"Who are you?" A British officer asked the man in white led by him, only to see that the dock was alarmed, and the British soldiers had already surrounded him. They had already raised their muskets and looked at the men in white warily.
The man in white who was questioned reached out and pushed his cloak away, revealing long black hair and a yellow Oriental face. The officer was slightly stunned when he saw his shadow, but saw the man in white pull out a long sword from his cloak. A sword struck the officer head, and then said, "Kill!" ”
A horse-drawn carriage runs on the official road of the plains.
"How far is it from London?" Governor Swan asked.
"Master, thirty kilometers away." Governor Swan's servant replied respectfully.
Governor Swan raised his head to look into the distance, suddenly pointed in surprise in the direction of London, and asked, "What is that......?"
