Chapter 678: The Battle of Revenge
The soldiers, who were still immersed in the joy of the victory in the capture of the port, were simply caught off guard by this sudden disaster, until the flames rose up. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The ground was torn apart, and the stone slabs that should have been laid on the ground were lifted into the air, and in the moment of flying, they broke into countless gravels and smashed into the soldiers.
There was a massive collapse of the street, and the soldiers, who had been drinking and having fun with their companions a moment ago, had not yet reacted to what had happened, and were weightless under their feet.
The sound of explosions and panicked cries joined in, and lightning struck the sky, and the rumbling thunder made the night sky even more hideous.
"What's going on, is it an earthquake? But how can an earthquake have flames erupting from the ground, is it a volcanic eruption?
"Don't speculate anymore, let's run for your life quickly, it's too dangerous here, hurry up and take refuge over there, it's a disaster!"
"No, what kind of wine is that, my amount of alcohol is obviously so good, why do my hands and feet are soft and have no strength, no, it's going to be over, no!"
The soldiers were scurrying around the square, all panicked by the explosion, and many of them trampled on each other and rushed towards safety.
At the same time, the location of the Governor's Palace, several heads of the Combined Fleet, sensing the tremors, immediately poured out surrounded by guards.
"Did the soldiers make a fire there and cause the accident? But even if there was a fire, there wouldn't be such a big movement, what happened?"
Maud stared at the huge fireball soaring in the air from afar, his eyes widened, he had never seen such a scene in all his years of wandering on the sea.
"If it weren't for the disaster caused by the mistakes of our soldiers, there would only be two possibilities, one is a natural phenomenon, such as a thunderstorm encountered on the sea, but now although there is a storm, it is brewing on the sea, and it has not drifted over, and there is only another one left. ”
Haigel was much calmer than Maude, and judged the situation in the shortest possible time, and he looked at the sea, lightning and thunder.
"The other one? So you don't have to sell it, is there someone on the sea who is shelling us? But the sea is full of our warships, and even the shelling has not made such a big move, has it subsided now?"
Maude's group moved quickly towards the square, and the Governor's Palace, where they were, was not affected by the explosion.
The explosions and large-scale collapses occurred mainly in the square, where there was a high concentration of soldiers, and a large number of embers remained at the scene.
"The other is that our enemies are doing something in the shadows, and they should use some method to bury dangerous things in the ground, just like burying all the magic energy crystals of the magic cannon and detonating them all at once, although this is technically only possible for Loki's people. ”
Haigl pondered for a moment, and gave an inaccurate answer, after all, there were not many clues he could grasp in such a short period of time.
"Magic Kingdom Loki, those magicians who never ask about the world? I heard that there are very few magicians on the continent anymore, and they only sell magic cannons every year to do the arms business, are they involved in this war? This is not good news. ”
Maude was stunned, he walked in the pile of soldiers to check the casualties caused by the explosion, and many soldiers were crying in pain.
There were also people who carried the bodies of the victims to the side and put them away, and most of the soldiers were still in shock and could not come back to their senses, it was too sudden!
"I'm just guessing, it's not accurate, but this movement seems to be just a bluff, it didn't cause much damage, and there were only a few hundred dead and wounded, which is simply insignificant for us, and ...... It's already raining, just in time to extinguish the fire. ”
Haigl stretched out his hand, and the rain fell from the sky, the wind howled, and soon all the nearby flames were extinguished by the rain.
"I thought how many people would die, but I didn't expect it to be just a false alarm, if it was really our enemies who did this kind of thing, they went to great lengths to make us lose so much, isn't it a little too stupid?
Maud inquired about his men, who were far more frightened than hurt, and it was a thunderstorm.
After this fright, where did they still have the slightest mood to celebrate? They were all physically and mentally exhausted and sighed, just wanting to have a good rest.
"No, they must have had some other purpose, and they couldn't have done such a thing just to scare us, if I were the commander of the enemy...... This kind of weather, this kind of condition, it's not good, they want to take advantage of the night to attack!"
The commander of the fleet, Pa Song, who had been silent, suddenly came to his senses, and at this time he subconsciously looked up at the west side of the port.
There was a great deal of fire in that place, and the light of the fire flickered on and out under the strong wind, and soon the rain fell on their faces.
The roaring thunder could not hide the sound of vibrations coming from the rapid march of the army, which was getting closer and closer.
"These bastards, they were trying to attack us at night? They wouldn't be stupid enough to think they could beat us, would they?
Maud, sensing the rapid approach, had rushed to the entrance of the town, gritted his teeth, and immediately reprimanded his soldiers to prepare for battle.
"Well, is there going to be a war? Where's my axe? Where did you throw my axe?"
"Ouch, I was hit in the leg by a stone just now, and I can't fight, I'll have to avoid it over there, and I'll leave the rest to you. ”
"If you don't fight sooner or later, do you want to fight at this time? Damn, now I just want to sleep, but I'm not ready to fight. ”
The soldiers hurriedly searched for weapons and barely coped with the sudden onslaught, and the heavy rain drifted in the sky, extinguishing all the fire.
In the darkness, it was difficult for them to see where they were, where could they tell which were their companions and which were their enemies?
But this was not the case with the Imperial soldiers who attacked them, they had been lurking for a long time, just for this moment of killing.
Although they could not distinguish between enemies and friendly forces, their purpose was extremely clear, and they were heading towards the harbor to cover the past.
Whoever goes in the opposite direction to them is the enemy, and this will be their revenge battle to retake the port.
An army that fights to defend its territory and honor is invincible!
