Chapter 555: A Pyrrhic Victory
The City of the Dead tilted nearly thirty degrees, as if it had been lifted from under the sea, and the ash men on the deck and the sailors were unsteady on their feet, and tumbled and fell into the sea, saving the sailors' lives in disguise. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The Ash Ones crumbled into ashes as soon as they left the City of the Dead, losing more than two hundred Ash Ones at once, and the remaining Ash Ones hurriedly hid in the cabin to survive.
Ivo hurriedly plunged his knives into the deck to stabilize his body, and suddenly a roar sounded in his ears, shaking his heart violently. Not far away, the deck shattered, and a black shadow stretched out, and it turned out to be the capital of the dead pierced.
A huge black shadow stretched out from under the sea, stabbing into the bottom of the ship of the Capital of the Dead, piercing the deck and sticking out, just not far from Ivo, and when he stared, the black shadow turned out to be a huge black and yellow horn.
The hull creaked and continued to tilt as if it were about to be overturned.
Ivo also ignored Marretton, who had slipped for the time being, and hurriedly climbed to the side of the ship to look at the sea, and was taken aback.
In the rainstorm, I saw a fish-shaped giant beast with a single horn floating out of the sea, with a body size of dozens of meters, and the single horn pierced into the capital of the dead, constantly arching upward, and raising the capital of the dead. At this moment, a bolt of lightning illuminated the night, and Ivo clearly saw the appearance of the giant beast, similar to a narwhal, but covered with hideous bone armor, black and purple skin, insect-like compound eyes, and a round mouth full of spiraling teeth like worms, which was ugly enough to give people nightmares.
"What the hell?"
Ivo quickly searched his memories and confirmed that he had not seen the creature on any Bestiary.
"We'll call him the Devilhorn Whale, a monster from the secondary dimension. With extraordinary strength and defense, you can no longer compete with us if you destroy your legendary ship. Marretton spoke up, trying to distract Ivo.
Monsters?
A few years ago, when the Patriarch and the Pope reshaped the barrier, a large number of sub-space monsters fell into the Overworld, which was a threat to all races.
Ivo is very concerned about this issue, and it seems that Marretton knows the details, and he must definitely leave it to life.
The City of the Dead was about to be overturned, and there was no time to care about anything else, Ivo gritted his teeth, switched to Methos, raised his hand and threw a spear through Marreton's thigh, nailed it to the deck, and then immediately turned and swelled into a blue-gold giant, holding the head of the Hornhorn Whale with one hand to push it away, and pulling the side of the Capital of the Dead with the other.
After a struggle, the giants were stronger, and it took a lot of effort to straighten the inclined capital of the dead.
The danger of the capital of the dead was lifted, and the giant slashed his backhand into the horn, but it was like a slash on indestructible metal, and his palm shook numbly. The Devilhorn Whale flicked its head and slammed it into Ivo's chest, and the sharp bone armor instantly cut his chest into a bloody blur. The two giant creatures fought, and the waves stirred up caused the capital of the dead to suffer, and the army of the Ash held on to the mast and shivered the side of the ship, fearing that they would be shaken off the ship.
"You can't fight next to the Capital of the Dead. Ivo's thought flashed, he shouted angrily, his hands wrapped around the writhing body of the Devilhorn Whale, the muscles of his upper body swelled a large circle, his face turned red from the exertion, and he actually lifted the Devilhorn Whale violently, threw it out dozens of meters, smashed it into the formation of the Southern Cross fleet, and instantly destroyed several warships.
Ivo opened his mouth and roared, his long burning hair and beard fluttering, turning into a golden giant in the blink of an eye, his fists like heavy cannons, and constantly bombarding the Devilhorn Whale against the impact field, and the aftermath completely disrupted the formation of the Southern Cross, and played a role in stirring up the entire battle situation.
After a few hundred punches in a row, the Devilhorn Whale only cracked in its bone armor, and its defense was impressive, but the single horn caused many wounds to Ivo.
No one but himself could hold the beast, and Ivo had no choice but to endure his injuries and wrestle wildly with the Devilhorn Whale.
I don't know how long it took to fight, the two giant beasts were covered in scaly wounds, and the ghost horn whale was finally afraid of the "crazy" giant in front of him, twisted his body, dived into the deep sea, and fled directly.
The torrential rain and fierce battles continued, and after this series of blows, the Southern Cross fleet was in a state of rout.
Ivo reverts back to his human body, avoiding being a target, stepping onto the decks of warships and unleashing a killing frenzy with his twin blades. All the strong officers of the Southern Cross were dragged down, and no one could control Ivo's point.
......
At some point, the rainstorm gradually subsided.
Ivo was already blood-red, both his own blood and the blood of his enemies, and he had cut down many seamen and destroyed no less than twenty ships with his two knives, and the endless killing had numbed his nerves, exhausted, and exhausted from his bones.
The sound of the battle gradually thinned out, and finally became dead.
The sea is blood-red, floating corpses fill the empty sea, there are sailors, there are pirates, and sharks feast on the smell.
The entire Southern Cross fleet has been wiped out!
In addition to the sunken ships, at least 50 unmanned warships drifted with the waves.
Ivo dragged his tired body back to the capital of the dead, and the ghost sailors jumped to about 20,000 in one fell swoop, and thousands of people lost their lives in the war.
The surviving victors looked blank and were able to stand up and carry the corpses of the enemy and throw them off the boat. Those who didn't want to move, ignoring the thick plasma on the deck, lay on their backs, letting the drizzle beat their numb faces.
There was no cheering.
There was no celebration.
Exhaustion eats away at every inch of nerves.
The tearing sensation permeates every muscle.
After being subjected to the blood and brutality of instinct.
Emptiness arises, leaving only dead silence and silence.
It's like after a noisy carnival, and no one cares about it.
"We ...... Win?"
"yes......"
"Get some sleep, I'm so tired. ”
Looking around, Ivo sighed, "Let's rest for a while." ”
Letting the capital of the dead drift, Ivo leaned against the mast, closed his eyes, and fell into a light sleep.
......
When I woke up again, the rain had stopped.
At the junction of the sea and the sky, a touch of fish belly white reveals the sky.
The pirates, who had had enough rest, were already cleaning up the battlefield and picking up the pieces.
Reed carried the unconscious Guy to Ivo, threw Guy on the deck, and said casually: "This guy has used up all the spell slots, his mana is overdrawn, and he faints." ”
Ivo, who had regained a little energy, opened his eyes, and the corners of his mouth twitched, "The guy who can't be killed is really invincible." ”
Reid took a puff of his cigarette, "Gavin has something to look for you." ”
"It is estimated that it is a report of results. Ivo rubbed his tired face and took control of the Capital of the Dead, approaching the main fleet.
Gavin stepped aboard the boat.
"Ivo, we lost more than three thousand people, twenty-four ships. We annihilated all the enemy's forces, most of the overboard became shark rations, and we captured alive 1,000 naval officers, including Marreton, Morlitton, and Gaiim, and captured 52 of the latest warships of the Southern Continent, each of which was damaged to varying degrees......"
Ivo struggled to concentrate at first, but the next sentence shook him.
"Among the senior cadres, Barlow, Ender, Sting, and Orton were seriously injured, and Sessos ...... Die. ”
Ivo opened his mouth, "Where?"
"Deputy command ship. Gavin's tone was heavy.
Ivo immediately set off and came to the deputy command ship, where Barlow, covered in bandages, sat in the bow of the ship, and the body of Sessos lay in front of him. Seeing Ivo coming, Barlow raised his eyelids and said hoarsely, "He died in battle." ”
There was a huge wound in the chest and abdomen of Sessos, which was the cause of death, and he had a smile on his face without regrets.
"Who did that?!" Ivo said in a calm tone, already with a hint of suppressed rage.
