Chapter 616: Hunting Henrak (6)
February 15th.
An hour before Henrak left the Combined Fleet.
A detachment of mercenaries from the Principality of Rock Dragon, about two battalions in strength, highlighted the mountainous area and exchanged fire with the Delen Imperial Army stationed on the border of the mountainous region.
Garrisoned on the mountainous border was a new and fully formed regiment of marines under Fredet.
The immature marines have only completed the most basic recruit training, and in terms of military quality, they are by no means the opponents of the mercenaries of these mountain principalities.
However, the equipment of the Delen Imperial Army, as well as their preset defensive positions, had a great advantage.
Many mercenaries are still using cold weapons such as swords and bows, and only about half of their soldiers are equipped with muskets, and most of them are still old-fashioned arquebuses, which cannot compete with the new flintlock rifles equipped by the Delenn Empire in terms of rate of fire, accuracy, and range.
Behind the defensive positions on the mountainous border, the wealthy Delun Imperial Army preset several artillery positions, and the defensive strength of one regiment actually arranged more than a hundred bronze field guns.
As soon as the artillery fire fell, the experienced and ruthless mercenaries and the fresh and immature rookie marines fired several rounds, and the mercenaries left more than 200 corpses and fled into the mountains and forests, and the rookie marines actually had more than 100 battle losses.
Joe was busy in a small harbor when the guns rang out from the northwest.
This is the westernmost point of Loew Heights, a tiny smuggling port. Because the conditions of the port were so harsh that even the larger ships could not dock, the slightly larger forces in the port of Tulum did not bother to pay attention to it, and only the most unscrupulous small smugglers would occasionally load and unload goods here.
Because the port is too small and remote, the Combined Fleet has blockaded the port of Tulum, blockaded Loeff Height, and blocked the slightly larger smuggling port around the port of Tulun, but this small port called 'Krill Whisker' has become the only safe passage in and out of the port of Tulun today.
A small cargo ship came to rest on the shore, and the Black Mamba stood at the bow of the ship, directing a group of Vetu sailors to carry huge barrels onto the ship.
The base chariot belongs to the absolute secret of the empire, and when Joe returned to Tulun Port this time, he only brought back a few hardcore subordinates of Lan Mu Hibiscus and Lan Kikyo, and there was a shortage of people around him. Leah assigned the three Black Mamba, Black Mountain and Black Frog, who performed very well in the sneak attack of the Ice Sea Kingdom a few days ago, with their subordinates, to Joe.
Joe stood on the short jetty in casual clothes, puffing on a cigar and puffing on his cigarette: "Be careful, if this thing is poured into the sea...... The krill whiskers are ruined, and God knows what the hell will lead to them? ”
As he spoke, Joe looked at a few men in black not far away.
The men in black rode war horses, standing quietly on the shore, staring at Qiao unabashedly.
"It's getting more and more unscrupulous...... What the hell does that guy Frerett think? Does he really think that he has settled on our Vetul family? Joe looked at the Navy intelligence officers in bewilderment.
Mr. S. Sterns was peeling bananas to feed his pet Kuba, he looked up at the intelligence officers and sneered: "Of course, judging from the current situation, the main force to defend Tulun Port can only be his new Marine Corps...... Holding the barrel of the gun in his hand, of course his waist pole is stiff! ”
Mr. S. Gunns' tone was disapproving.
The original Marine Corps was only a light assault force, which was born purely to supplement the weak land attack capability of the naval fleet.
But because of this sudden war, Freret's newly organized thirty Marine Corps divisions were completely armed according to the specifications of the main field regiments of the empire - large-caliber field guns, giant mortar guns, these big guys who were not on the Marine Corps equipment list at all, have been equipped with the army beyond the standard.
In terms of armament alone, the firepower of the thirty marine divisions around the port of Tulum was at least twice as strong as that of the main field corps of the Empire.
Freret, as the commander of this army, became the most powerful force in the vicinity of the port of Tulum when the main force of the Duke of Rus' army was blockaded on the island of Casica.
"He felt that he could do something." Joe pouted: "Who gave him this illusion?" Did he forget? There are 30 new divisions, and there are 10 divisions in command, but it was agreed that they would be owned by our Vetul family. ”
"Even so, he is now the most powerful person in the Imperial camp around the port of Tulum...... Not one of them. Mr. S. Gons gently stroked Baku's head: "We all have to be careful these days. From the things that His Highness Magnum did, it is clear that it is unlikely that Freret, as his brother, is a good man! ”
The sailors carried more than 100 large wooden pokes onto the cargo ship.
The cargo ship's hold was too small to hold so many barrels, and more than 30 barrels could only be stacked on the deck, and even on the guardrails on both sides, a dozen barrels were hung with fishing nets.
"Alright, let's go." Joe dropped his cigar on the ground, pressed his right hand on the low deck of the cargo ship, and easily flipped onto the ship.
Mr. Si Gengs, Lan Mu Hibiscus, Lan Kikyo, as well as Marcos, Big Ivan, and the old men of the family who had just taken the sixth-order abyss six-eyed corrosive demon wolf potion in the past few days, all jumped onto the boat with Joe.
Several naval intelligence officers jumped off their horses and strode towards this direction.
A middle-aged man shouted loudly: "Your Excellency Marquis, by order of His Royal Highness Freret, we must ...... in extraordinary times"
Joe shook his head, whistled, and pointed lightly at the intelligence officers.
On the small pier, dozens of Weitu's guards and sailors swarmed up, knocking several intelligence officers to the ground in three or two strokes.
"Haha!" The one-eyed black mamba laughed, raised his hand to Joe, and raised the sails with a quick hand.
Black Frog and Black Mountain untied the cable with equal skill, and with the Black Mamba, steered the small, laden cargo ship out of the krill whiskers.
The small cargo ship had already sunk into the narrow channel leading to the open sea, and the angry roar of the naval intelligence officers could be heard in the distance.
An hour later, the small cargo ship had sailed nearly ten miles away from the port of krill whiskers, and the water here had reached a depth of nearly 1,000 feet. Joe shouted loudly and kicked a large wooden stab with a red paint circle on the lid into the sea: "Attention, open the bucket of these circles and throw them in...... In addition, those barrels with crossed strokes must not be touched now. ”
Black Frog and Black Mountain are busy.
One by one, the big wooden stabs were opened and thrown into the sea. The barrel was viscous like glue, and the high-grade Blood Feast Elixir, which was several times more potent than the primary version Joe used last time, melted into the seawater and quickly turned into a huge blood-colored shadow.
Blood covered the surface of the sea for miles.
A strange aura spread rapidly in the seawater.
It can be seen with the naked eye that in the seawater, countless scales are flashing, and large and small sea fish, shrimp, turtles, and other strange sea creatures are rushing hysterically towards this side as if they are crazy.
They burrowed into the spreading blood-colored shadows, and then throbbed wildly, frantically swallowing the blood-stained seawater.
After some of the smaller sea fish and shrimp swallowed these high-grade Blood Feast Elixirs, their fragile bodies could not withstand the colossal medicinal power in the potion, and their bodies began to disintegrate rapidly, turning into a mass of blood and water that merged into the potion.
The breath in the sea is getting richer and stronger, and the speed of diffusion is getting faster and faster.
Gradually, some of the big creatures in the deep sea also galloped like crazy, they rushed into the blood-colored shadows, swimming and beating wildly, and countless large sea fish jumped on the surface of the sea, the short ones were five or six feet, and the long ones were hundreds of feet......
Dozens of giant whales also galloped in, spewing out high columns of water, and with a long chirp, they also plunged headlong into the bloody shadows. These large creatures, which were nearly 300 feet long, opened their mouths and swallowed the nearby fish and shrimp along with a large area of blood-colored seawater.
The sea was originally relatively calm, but because of the appearance of these sea fish and sea beasts, waves several feet high were set off.
Joe's little cargo ship was too small, and the waves were all about to make the ship jolt violently on the sea.
However, all the people on the ship were good hands, and they stood firmly on the deck, and the soles of their feet seemed to be glued, firmly attached to the ship's plank, and their bodies did not shake in the slightest.
Only Mr. Sgnes's monkey staggered wildly above his head, turning out two rows of large white fangs, pointing at the squeaky quacks of the countless fish bouncing on the surface of the sea.
As time passed, the frantically stumbling Kuba suddenly stiffened, and sat down on Mr. Strons's shoulder, and his arms around his neck did not dare to make any more movement.
A suffocating pressure came from the deep sea in the distance.
With the naked eye, a long water mark on the surface of the sea is rushing towards this side, and below that water mark is a large streamlined shuttle-shaped shadow.
"It's coming!" Joe squinted his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Ah, kill this big guy, His Royal Highness Salian will give us another big credit...... A descendant of the Demon Beasts of the Ice Sea Kingdom? Henrak ......"
Joe smiled and looked at the water mark that was getting closer and closer: "I can see that when I asked for help, His Royal Highness Salian, and Duke Rose, they behaved politely...... They didn't believe I could kill Henrak, they must be making a plan that they thought was more plausible...... But, I'm going to tell them that I can do it! ”
The Black Mamba, the Black Frog, and the Black Mountain stood at the bow of the boat, stunned by the rapidly approaching water mark.
Their bodies tensed and sweat rained down.
They have an instinctive instinct that borders on a beast...... They sensed what a powerful, terrifying monster the guy was approaching......
The shadows under the water are constantly rising towards the sea.
When it's in deep water, its shadow is only about a mile long...... But as it continues to get closer to the sea, everyone can see clearly that this guy's body length is definitely more than three miles!
What a terrible beast this is!
"Drop the other kind of barrel, all down, quick, quick, quick!" Joe's eyes widened in horror as he stared at the crimson curtain of light that appeared in front of him......
The data on it made Joe feel desperate!
It's the kind of ...... that can easily crush them all to smithereens Inhuman power!
