Chapter 537: Decisive and courageous
With the undead legion's plan to completely annihilate the East India Company's fleet, it has become less realistic after the appearance of the rear-loading monolithic flintlock pistol to launch a stormy attack.
Lu Bin, who was in the shadows, listened to the slashing sound of the cold weapon that quickly sparsely fell from the soul-bound corpse, and in the crisp trigger pull, the neatly activated bullets tore through the air and let out a piercing scream, and immediately understood that the defeat of the undead army was already a matter of time.
The thumb of his right hand rubbed the Water Ring Lan Ya and the Qi Ring Qing Ya, estimating the law restrictions of the chaos of the world, I was afraid that he would not be able to cast a very powerful plastic energy spell, so he easily took out the golden pill refined by the flesh and blood of the Protoss from the Book of the Traveling Mage.
"Then I'll just use it a little! The dead who are unwilling to die, let out your anger and hatred in one breath. ”
Lu Bin clasped his palms together and used the ubiquitous aura of death around him to cast a fourth-order magic and group corpse explosion technique on the undead creatures scattered across a hundred gunboat warships.
A soul-bound corpse that was pierced through the heart by an oblong lead bullet, affected by the magic cast by Lu Bin, trembled sharply a few times all over its body, and then with a "bang", the interior exploded on the spot, turning into a fishy and poisonous rain of flesh and blood, sweeping everything around.
Countless hard bone fragments, like lead bullets sliding out of the barrel of a gun, shot and killed indiscriminately, and the employees of the East India Company were cut down to the ground like wheat cut by a sickle, under the power of the corpse explosion. As for the lifeless soulbound corpse, once it is hit by a bone fragment, it will also explode on the spot due to the impact of the mass corpse explosion technique.
The fleet commander was keenly aware of the enemy's anomaly and immediately ordered to stop firing, but his order came a little too late, and due to the power of the new weapon, the number of soulbound corpses that had suffered heavy losses had already fallen into a chain reaction.
Within the shroud range of the group corpse explosion technique, the undead creatures bloomed one after another, there was no high temperature, no high heat, no fire, only a highly poisonous rain of flesh and blood, only high-speed scattering of bone fragments.
The power was so great that killing the sailors on the spot was secondary, and polluting the gunboats themselves was the real horror, full of strong acids and poisonous liquids, turning these East India Company ships into a danger to the living.
"Abandon ship!
The fleet commander reacted immediately and gave the order in the loudest voice, but long before he gave the order, there were clever company employees who turned over and jumped into the sea to avoid this devastating disaster.
In the blink of an eye, the sea was full of human heads, and the faces of the East India Company's fleet employees were mixed with mixed expressions of horror and joy. Some people found that Lu Bin, who was "standing" on the sea and couldn't be blown by the eight winds, immediately reacted, and just opened his mouth to shout.
Lu Bin's feet had already stepped on the top of their heads, pressing all these unfortunate and fortunate witnesses to the bottom of the water, and the spring points on the soles of his feet took the opportunity to exhale their true anger and crushed these poor insects to death on the spot.
"Five thousand soul-bound corpses, half of the enemy's gunboats, and about thirty percent of the sailors, this deal is too worthwhile. ”
Lu Bin, who was drifting away, looked back: "I hope that the next time we fight, you can still maintain high morale." I felt very happy in today's two fights. ”
The enemy hidden in the shadows has never revealed his true face, and the top brass of the East India Company's fleet vaguely understand that this is the real whip of the South China Sea, but they can no longer fight.
Overnight, the enemy's retaliation came suddenly, and in the first battle of the Sea of Fog, more than 50 warships were sunk, and in the second battle, their own side still swallowed the bitter fruit of defeat.
Nearly half of the ships were destroyed, and the mortality rate of sailors was even more outrageous, and even worse was the morale.
Fortunately, the nobles and knights of the fleet had quite high expectations for victory, and the fleet commander immediately ordered the ships that had not been attacked to start saving people after returning to the temporary flagship.
"Good news! The enemy knows the strength of our fleet, and does not dare to fight head-on at all, so he can only take advantage of the cover of night to launch a despicable and shameless sneak attack. In addition, the enemy also exhausted their means after two attacks, and with the sworn struggle of the company's employees, we finally repelled the enemy who ruled the South China Sea, and we won the final victory. ”
The commander of the fleet tried his best to cheer up the top brass of the fleet, and those present quickly echoed it, and some even began to applaud. However, when the meeting was over, these captains and first mates returned to their ships, but they strictly ordered their subordinates to be vigilant at all times, which shows that there is too much water in the so-called victory, and these people probably understand the gap between their own side and the enemy.
Not only the difference in fighting style and strategic thinking, but the greater doubt is the strength of the enemy. How much has been used, and how much of their war potential is there?
Nothing is known, nothing is understood, only one-sided information collected by intelligence officers when the Francis of Indochina were subjected to imperial punishment by the Middle-earth dynasty.
"That's why I often say that the scum of spies and spies is completely unreliable. If it weren't for the fact that they had gathered too little information, the company would never have rashly offended the dangerous behemoth of the Middle-earth Empire. As for now, it's too late to say anything. ”
A melancholy mood pervaded the East India Company fleet, and the unprecedented damage of battle slammed the proud heads of the proud people of the Britaen Kingdom to the ground, trampled on their dignity, and rubbed them vigorously.
The loss of more than fifty sunken ships is enough, and more than a hundred gunboats, polluted by the poisonous flesh and blood of the undead, without a large amount of seawater washing, I am afraid that they will not be able to enter the battle in a short time, let alone carry out targeted repair and maintenance of them.
In addition, in the two battles before and after, the number of employees killed in the company was not a small number, and the injured people were tortured by severe poison and acid, and the consumption of drugs carried by the ship gave the top of the fleet a headache.
"After all, is it not a pleasure to let the Francis perish in Indochina, and why waste the lives of our lads for the sake of the arrogant and vain Francis. ”
"It is said that this is the decision of the company's board of directors. We must advance and retreat together with the Francians, and a proper show of goodwill will will also facilitate the further proximity of our two sides. After all, in the interests of the colonies, we have a common position. ”
"The problem is that the consequences of offending the whip of the South China Sea have only just begun, and it is conceivable that it will not be long before our company's merchant ships will be subjected to endless harassment and attacks by pirates in the South China Sea. The countries of the civilizational radial sphere deeply influenced by the Middle-earth Empire, their people are very keen on bloody revenge. ”
Conversations like this take place quietly in the rest cabins of every warship, and there is no lack of insight. It is clear that the sailors of the East India Company's fleet, having regained their composure, did not lack wisdom and correct judgment.
It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in the world to take. The East India Company must cross the line and capture the lair of the whip of the South China Sea, then it must bear the wrath of the other side.
The two sides involved in this battle will not end easily unless one of them falls completely, after all, the East India Company is also an old colonial operator, and will not easily give up the lucrative trade for the loss of employees.
As for the camp of the Whip of the South Seas, considering the tradition of prestige and honor above their own lives, coupled with the pirates' desire for freedom, the East India Company was no longer taxed according to the rules, but could rob all the property reasonably and legally, and no one would choose to submit to the feet of the enemy.
In the wars that took place in the pirate city of Singapore and the Gulf of Siam, the biggest winner was naturally Lu Bin, who killed the East India Company's fleet with one enemy and ten thousand, followed by the Francis in Indochina.
Despite the blows of the Battlemech Regiment and the Southern Martial Arts Warriors, the withdrawal of the Undead Ship and the Undead Legion finally gave the colony a respite from the storm.
With the re-recruited and trained legions, and the help of the Cult's masters, the Francis not only stabilized the situation, but also fought against the Canton-Qiongya business alliance.
Warlock bloodlines extracted from the local people and crafted from the locals, some of the chosen ones have powerful bodies and ingenious natural spells. They have a strong ability to adapt to the natural environment of Indochina, and like a qualified guide, they began to lead the new Francis army to counterattack.
The Nanwulin righteous soldiers continued to fight, and although there was no shortage of supplies, they still felt physically and mentally tired, which still made their combat effectiveness significantly reduced.
After consulting his mentor, Lin Shenhe, the leader of the alliance, sent these war-weary righteous soldiers back to their homeland to recuperate, and replaced them in time with a group of newcomers who were ready to do a big job.
The inexperience of the recruits, as well as the miscalculation of the power of firearms, caused the casualty rate of these men to skyrocket, which gave the Francis colonists of Indochina a very bad illusion that they had lost most of their combat effectiveness among the knights and rangers of the Middle-earth Empire.
Coupled with the power of the Whip of the South Seas, which was drawn up by the fleet of the East India Company, the Francis suddenly found that the hard days were finally over.
Unfortunately, the mastermind behind all this did not agree with this, even if Lu Bin's eyes turned to the external expansion of the business alliance, he still kept in his heart the countries that Indochina Peninsula had begun to degenerate into semi-colonies and semi-feudals, and was ready to pull them out of the abyss of despair.
