Chapter 1: A Feast in the Deep Sea (Part 1) 3

"Queue, board!"

The soldiers seemed to have greeted in advance, and they all slammed the solid wood plywood with the end of the spear in their hands, and the plywood that had been quiet made a deafening sound again, and the air seemed to be shaken, sending out bursts of ripples, and the soldiers followed their respective squad commanders after the knock and boarded the landing craft on both sides. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Ambo, with his lieutenant and two guards, walked up the stairs on the right-hand side to the deck and boarded a landing craft that was not yet full. After securing the weapon in her hand to the iron frame next to the seat, Ambo made it to the seat, pulling the fixture above her head to her chest.

"Ready to sail!" The sailor on the board who was responsible for parking the landing on the water shouted to the horn, and the amplified sound echoed on the empty aft deck, and the thick iron chain and the winch that hoisted the landing craft out of the hull collided with each other and made a loud noise, and the landing craft painted grass green slowly descended to the surface of the water from the north.

The lower reaches of the Moss River are not too turbulent, but they are too wide on both sides of the river, more than five kilometers in a straight line, and the fleet's warships are firing from three kilometers away with long-range firing cannons, so the four landing craft also need to brave sparse ballista attacks and travel three kilometers across the river.

The steam-powered landing craft did not have much propulsion, so the speed of advance was not too fast, and the resistance of fresh water was about 700 times that of air, which made the landing craft emit a lot of steam every meter forward.

After advancing for nearly a kilometer, the landing craft came within the range of the shore defense ballista, and the four landing craft were not too dense, but these four landing craft were not the only ones on the river, and a large number of landing craft full of soldiers were gathered around them, advancing towards the river bank.

Two crossbow arrows fell from the sky, but the aim of the crossbow arrow seemed to be a little off, and the thick crossbow arrow that seemed to be extremely lethal was tied with gunpowder tied to the tip of the sword and pierced into the gap between the landing craft, and the black powder that was not completely soaked exploded at a position of about five meters into the water, and a huge column of water erupted from where, and it was like rain around, and the foaming water was splashed into the landing craft, and the soldiers who were fixed on their seats were soaked.

"Don't be nervous! Relax, relax! The pilot of the landing craft loudly alerted the soldiers in the landing craft while trying to dodge the explosive crossbow bolts that came from the next attack.

Even so, landing craft were still hit, and not far away, a landing craft full of soldiers was pierced by crossbow arrows. After the sharp arrow first nailed a soldier to the hull, the crossbow bolt was about to be ignited by the fuse, and a violent explosion occurred, the dazzling fire was like a small sun rising from the surface of the river, and the vigorous black smoke began to rise upwards from the hit landing craft in a short time, and the violent explosion impact made several soldiers lose their bones in an instant, and the iron-clad wooden landing craft was completely unable to withstand such an explosion, and it was broken into two pieces from the interruption, and the sawdust of white flowers flew one after another, and none of the soldiers on the landing craft survived.

Despite this, but none of the landing craft turned around and returned, the pilots used all their tricks, driving the landing craft to dodge the crossbow arrows falling from the sky, but it was difficult to make an evasive action without a fast landing craft, even if the crossbow arrows were sparse and inaccurate, there were still landing craft that were hit one after another, and when the pair of soldiers of General Amber landed, nearly five landing craft had been destroyed, and some of the soldiers who fell into the water were rescued by the passing landing craft, some were injured and died of blood loss on the river, and some were impassable. It has fallen into the water, sinking into the river like a weighing stone, and the bones are nowhere to be found.

At great cost, the soldiers finally landed on the riverbank, and there was no time to line up, and the soldiers who had just landed followed their commanders to move to the battlefield ahead, and the orcs were defeated under the fierce attack of the human soldiers, and were now guarding the last rock fortifications, with scattered arrows outward.

The orcs did not have too high IQ, so they naturally could not use the longbow with high technical requirements freely, so the orcs had to take inferior short sabers and rush forward to engage in hand-to-hand combat with human soldiers, but the human soldiers who were generally equipped with two-meter-and-five spears easily pierced the orc's body, and then continued to advance forward.

In this way, the human soldiers pushed forward quickly, but encountered problems in front of the crossbow battery at Yingkou. Ten ballista batteries lined up neatly, twenty ballistas fired explosive crossbow arrows incessantly, two of which were aimed at the landing craft troops on the river, and the remaining eight ballista batteries were aimed at the attacking human soldiers. Ballistas are all hinged and wound, without too much technicality, as long as you aim at the target and pull the trigger, the bowstring on the ballista used by the orcs is made of thick hemp rope, which is more than tenacious, and every shot of the crossbow arrow with the thickness of the small arm has a lot of power, even if not every crossbow bolt is tied with a black powder bag, but the extremely strong penetrating destructive power still brings a lot of damage to the human troops. Before they could dodge, a large number of soldiers were impaled by the thick crossbow arrows, and then nailed to the ground, and dozens of soldiers died under the crossbow arrows after surviving the white-knuckle combat of the orc soldiers.

The team at the forefront can't advance at all, this is the last dirt bag, and after that is the open field, even if the IQ of the orcs is generally low, but the shooters who are responsible for firing the ballista seem to have been trained in elementary school Olympiad, and the IQ is not comparable to different orcs, and the crossbow arrow attack within a hundred meters is simply a hundred shots, even if a large number of soldiers attack together, they will be repelled by the explosive crossbow arrows, and not many people will survive the stone attack that is blown away.

It seemed that he was at a loss, General Amber got rid of the obstruction of his personal guards and lieutenants, and rushed to the forefront of the human race with a hundred black-clothed sharp knives, and a few orcs suddenly came out of the barracks sporadically on the road, but they were easily solved by these sharp knives, and there were no casualties.

"How's it going?" General Amber lay on his stomach and asked aloud to the adjutant general who was in charge of the front-line attack.

"Can't break through, General, the defense is too tight, it has been filled in several groups of people, and none of them came back alive." The lieutenant straightened the helmet on his head, which was a little crooked, and reported the situation to Amber, "I can only wait for the equipment to be sent in the future, and I can snipe with a rifle." ”

"We can't wait so long, think of a way, is there any way to take these ten ballista batteries in ten minutes!" General Amber was a little angry, not only did his voice become higher, but the expression on his face also became much more hideous.

"This ......" The lieutenant general was a little stunned, and kept cursing Amber for being unscrupulous and ignorant in his heart, but he kept thinking about the law of ballista attacks, "Balistas only attack crowded places. ”

"Divide fifty soldiers and attack from the left in a roundabout way, attracting fire from the front." Amber made a plan without thinking, and then patted the lieutenant general's shoulder, the expression on his face gradually softened, and a smile appeared, "Good job!" ”

The adjutant was stunned for a moment, not only was the heart in his heart thrown out of the clouds, but after coming back to his senses, he immediately gave a military salute and ran to convey the order. Amber beckoned a hundred sharp knives to his side and commanded him.

"Wait a minute, look at the signal from Admiral Lil, and you will rush forward with me."

"Understood, General." Instead of stopping General Ambo's order like the other officers, the hundred-man commander replied shallowly and then retreated into the queue, passing on the order, and preparing for battle with the other swordsmen.

Adjutant Lil's order was conveyed in a short time, and a pair of fifty elite squadrons were assembled in less than five minutes, and General Lil ran back to report to General Ambo: "General, the team has been assembled, I will take them around the rear of the fort, and I will release smoke bombs in a minute, and then start moving." ”

"Thank you for your hard work, go quickly." General Amber didn't say much, time was pressing, the next wave of orc troops rushing to help was rushing on the road, the human soldiers with this number of landers were completely unable to resist the next wave of attacks, one bad one would even be wiped out, Amber didn't dare to bet, no one on this beach could afford to make this bet.

Twenty seconds later, a signal flare pierced the sky, the cylindrical warhead pulled a piercing scream and green smoke rose into the sky, Amber saw it and immediately stood up from behind the dirt bag, raised the long sword in his hand, turned back to the sharp knives and shouted "For glory, follow me" and other shouts, and took the lead towards the orc crossbow battery two hundred meters away, and the sharp knives behind him also shouted and ran forward with Ambo's footsteps, the pitch-black spear in his hand pointed directly at the crossbow battery, and the shouts of the hundred people were deafening, which startled the orcs on the platformBut after quickly turning around, the orcs loaded the ballista with explosive crossbow arrows and began to shoot at the sharp knives, each explosion would take the lives of several sharp knives, but no one would stop because the companion at his feet was injured or killed, but ran faster and faster, and the distance of two hundred meters was quickly shortened, but this was, the shouting of killing sounded from the back of the ballista battery, and the fifty elite soldiers led by Vice Admiral Lil went around to the rear of the crossbow battery at a very fast speed when the orc's attention was focused on the sharp knives. Then there was a massacre, the orc's ballista became more and more sparse, fifty people waved the long sword and spear in their hands, cut over the thorn and wore a famous orc archer, soon, General Ambo also led the sharp knives to rush to the bottom of the tower, the follow-up troops followed, according to the ballista battery, dozens of orcs quickly collapsed under the crush of the human army, and the human beings were full of anger, waving the weapons in their hands, and killing all the orcs left.

This is the end of the battle, and the human soldiers on the battlefield on the Western Front captured the security camp on the west side of the orcs at the cost of two hundred and thirty-seven killed, paving the way for Ye Zifeng's plan.

Most of Manhattan's streets are named after numbers, but there are some alternative streets that are not named after numbers, and these streets are often well-known in China and abroad, and Wall Street is the best example.

Wall Street, home to the world's largest financial system, has had some amazing news both in history and in the present.

Although these have nothing to do with Xia Luye Kexin, the two women on Wall Street still follow the tour group to walk through the narrow streets, listening to the tour guide constantly introduce the history of Wall Street, and stop and go in front of each building with a history. The English name of Wall Street is called "Well Street", which is normally translated into Chinese should be "Wall Street", but it doesn't sound good, so it was changed to "Wall Street", a third of a mile long, converted into a metric unit is 0.48 kilometers, looking at the world such streets are not long, but strange things, the street is only 11 meters wide, such a height is equivalent to 4 stories high.

While holding the camera and constantly taking pictures, while walking slowly, the two women followed the tour group from the direction of the old Parkway has been walking for nearly half an hour, it stands to reason that normal adults walk four kilometers per hour is nothing new, even if the average height of the two women is one meter six or five, that hour should also be able to walk three kilometers, but after walking half of the first half of Wall Street, even half of Wall Street was not finished, although the two women had no opinion, but the United Nations Security Council group meeting that started at two o'clock in the afternoon did not wait for anyone, It's ten o'clock in the morning, and the two girls have enough time to play, but I'm afraid that they will forget the time when they play.

Wall Street is also considered to be a scene of photo taking, such as the statue of the bronze bull on Wall Street and some famous buildings, and the two women took pictures in front of it.

Time flies like a white horse, and the trip to Wall Street also ended quietly in a dull way, but when she walked to the bank of the East River, Ye Kexin felt a little strange, although she couldn't tell what kind of feeling it was, but she always felt that someone was quietly following. However, Ye Kexin didn't care too much, the New York headquarters of the Admiralty Security Council in the United States Division would always send some commissioners to secretly protect the safety of students when they came to teach at Newcastle College, which was understandable, but Ye Kexin couldn't help but wonder why the commissioner who secretly protected the safety of students would make him feel strange.

As it approached noon, the two women stopped following the tour group to the next sightseeing spot, and chose a Subway fast food along the way to have lunch.

"Sister, do you feel different?" The first to speak was Xia Lu, it seems that this feeling is not only felt by Ye Kexin, Xia Lu's words made Ye Kexin suddenly a little alert.

"What does it feel like?" Ye Kexin didn't do it, leaned forward and whispered to Xia Lu.

"I feel like someone's stalking us." Xia Lu also said in a low voice.

"Since when?"

"From the time we arrived at the Parkway, this feeling has not stopped." Xia Lu glanced around slightly, it was twelve o'clock at noon, there was never a shortage of customers in the Americans' favorite fast food restaurant, there were crowds of people around, but someone twisted their heads in the direction where the two girls were, after all, there were two Oriental beauties like this sign, and there were two of them at once this time, and the topics in the restaurant all revolved around Ye Kexin and Xia Lu, which made it impossible for the two to find out who was tracking them. The stalker is not necessarily a person wearing a black trench coat with a pair of sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, so that people can know at a glance that this person is coming to follow you, and it is easy for people to feel alert when they don't look like a good person, but it is the kind of person who can dress up and blend into the surrounding environment, and it is easiest to avoid the eyes of the person being followed, such as wearing a suit on Wall Street, or wearing a prop costume in an amusement park, no one will find it strange and will not let you be wary of him.

Xia Lu put her hand on the long black box that she carried beside her, the contents were obviously not light, and Xia Lu looked a little struggling to carry it on her back.

"I've never asked, what are you carrying in this box? When passing through customs, you also need to show your documents and sign a contract. Ye Kexin glanced aside the topic that the two were talking about, and after listening to Xia Lu's words, Ye Kexin thought about it in her heart. If you start tracking from Lao Baihui, the person has a chance to kill himself along the way, but they have a shot, which shows that the purpose of the stalker should be not to kill people, if it is not to kill people, Ye Kexin is too lazy to care about this person, after all, the main energy of the two women today is to be sent to the United Nations Security Council group meeting held for the two of them. The topic should not be too tense and will affect the mood.

"Well." Xia Lu patted the black box, and her voice didn't sound hollow inside, "This is a secret for the time being, I asked Mr. Yamamoto for the treasure." ”

"Mr. Yamamoto?" Ye Kexin thought for a moment, "Are you talking about the one at the Tokyo headquarters, Keiichi Yamamoto, who can serve four dishes and one soup with his face?" ”

"Uh-huh, it's him, although he looks some, well, big, but I still appreciate the taste of collecting." Xia Lu smiled, nodded, and then held a piece of French fries in her mouth. Xia Lu understood what Ye Kexin's idea of changing the topic was, but she was still a little uneasy, "But just leave it alone, there's no problem, will you do something like a surprise attack?" ”

"Probably not, if there is a sudden attack, I think it is better to do it on Wall Street, and then you can leave the crowd, and if you don't want to be discovered, you can blend in with the crowd of onlookers, or be a witness. The stalker who can figure out what I can understand must not be stupid, he can figure it out, and if he can't figure it out, he will follow us in a black trench coat. Ye Kexin talked eloquently, his mouth was stuffed with hamburgers is extremely non-standard pronunciation, Ye Kexin is looking at the people around who can understand Chinese, and will speak openly and loudly at will, but even if it is a normal voice talking to Xia Lu, the surrounding noise will not let this conversation spread far.
