Battleships are the greatest beasts of war that humans have ever created, no matter what world they are in. Although in another world it has been replaced by aircraft carriers, in this world it is just beginning to show its muscles.

With a deafening bang, the six barrels of the Broken Mountain fired shells one after another, drawing several bright arcs in the air, and then landed on the hill in the middle of the city.

Huge smoke and dust rose from the top of the hill with the light of the fire, and the whole high ground was exploded, shattered, and thrown into the air with a continuous roar. As for the Treant and the Fish Monster standing on it, they had long since been reduced to charred pieces in the blast of air and burning flames. These monsters, possessed by divine powers and capable of destroying a city, disappeared completely without realizing that the danger was coming from.

Ethelit lowered his binoculars, and the positioning magic worked well, as all but one of the six shells missed slightly, and all but one hit the high ground. This was unimaginable in the shelling of the past. And the mage beside him also opened his mouth slightly. Their previous tests had been conducted on the surface of the sea, and as a mage from the Eastern Continent, he had never seen a weapon made by anyone that could achieve such an effect, even the great mage's fire-based magic was far less powerful than this shelling. And this is just a round of shelling of a battleship...... , if the other battleships and cruisers opened fire at the same time, he could hardly imagine what would happen, was that the power beyond the Sage?

Ethelit, on the other hand, was not surprised by this sight, and he thought to himself: how powerful would it be if the cannons and cannonballs were modified by magic, as suggested by His Excellency the Archon?

On the Light of the Seven Towers, the delegation of the Parliament-in-Exile of the Southern City-States, led by Glasco, fell silent for a long time, and they had been making fun of the inflexible and incomparably heavy iron ships, but now the battleship guns showed their strength, making them lose even the ability to speak.

Huang Zheng saw Glasco's lips fluttering, as if to say, "Why are humans able to master such power without using magic?" ”

Ma Anmin said: "It seems that as long as the equivalent is enough, any problem can be solved." ”

Huang Zheng said: "In that case, let's give these monsters a good time." But after that, the city has to be rebuilt. ”

Ma Anmin said: "Where there is a city, what is there now is just a ruin." ”

Huang Zheng issued an attack order to all the warships of the fleet through the sound transmission array, excluding the factory area protected by Mao Kai, and including Shuangfan City and the surrounding large suburbs in this attack range.

The warships adjusted their positions, and twenty minutes later, the sound of sky-shattering cannons filled the coast, and this corner of the continent was covered in firelight, dotted with countless monsters of all sizes that had been thrown away. Affected by the power of the Divine City, these monsters have lost their instinct to survive, and they will not run away in the face of such a terrible attack, they will only dodge and roar in vain.

The smoke cleared from the ground, and the vicinity of Shuangfan City had become a real dead place. As long as a living organism is still made up of cells, it is unlikely that it will survive such a blow.

A representative quietly asked Glasco: "The strength of the Chinese is so strong, what possibility do we have to resist, and if they want to occupy these places, what else can we do?"

Glasco smiled helplessly: "Of course there is no way, when you see that they have such a steel fleet, you should know that they are not easy to dismiss." But what else can we do? Is the Sea Clan easy to deal with? We have dealt with them for so many years, and have experienced countless wars and vendettas, will they let us occupy the two islands in peace and survive in peace? This time, it is not for the sake of the face of the Tower of China, I am afraid that we will not even be able to find a place to stay? At the point where we are, there is nothing to hold onto, and I hope that the people of the Tower of China will give us mercy, and I am afraid that the only thing I can do is to hope that the people of the Tower of China will give us mercy. ”

"But even if they were merciful, they couldn't give us back all the places. The southern city-states will be invaded by them and many places. ”

"I'm just asking for a place to live anyway. The southern city-states are one city-state after another, and each of you is only one or two cities. There are many ruling families in many cities who have not escaped at all, and the places that the Tower of China wants them to take are good. ”

Huang Zheng actually heard their conversation clearly, but he didn't say anything. To occupy the land or not to occupy the land, that is a matter for the committee to decide. In his own opinion, with the exception of some strategic locations, the Tower of China has no desire to expand its territory in the short term.

He stepped forward and said to the delegates, "After clearing this area, we are about to land, and I plan to use Shuangfan City as a base from which to attack the surrounding city-states. As you can see, we have the support of artillery warships, so we will think about fighting from the coast to the inland. Those monsters will be hit with precision by our warships as long as they are within twenty kilometers of the coastline. If they don't come closer, then we can consolidate the places we have captured and send troops inland to reclaim the cities. ”

One of the delegates asked, "If you conquer our city, will it be returned to our hands?"

Huang Zheng said: "In wartime, in order to ensure the stability of the front and the deployment of materials, if necessary, we will establish a military administration in the cities under the attack. But as you can see, there are not many traces of a city left in a place like Twin Sails, so what's the point of you hastily snatching such a ruin back into your hands? What do you say?"

Huang Zheng's tone was not intense, and his attitude was also very calm. But the representative who stood in front of him and asked that question had the feeling of falling into an ice cave. That kind of pressure made him can't help but lower his head, and he regrets asking the previous words.

"You have a point. It is only because of the homeland that my companion is in a hurry to ask these things. "Of course we will follow your command and arrangement." ”

Huang Zheng said: "Okay." The landing is about to begin, so don't leave your men behind, organize their team, and follow us ashore. I think there's still a place for them. ”
