Tempest: "You'd better dig into the wall." ”

……

While players and cloud players were chattering on the forums, a super-fast agile player had already been able to get a sneak peek at the "new map" aboard the Dolphin cargo submarine.

The undersea settlement, which sits next to coral and kelp forests, has restored power to 50% of the area, and many of the residents of Coral City stranded on the island have returned to their familiar homes.

With the lighting system activated, the transparent domes resemble a static fluorescent jellyfish, and the colorful waves spread along the seabed like a brilliant rainbow.

Looking at the colorful scene outside the porthole of the submarine, the tail excitedly opened its mouth into an O-shape, and his nose was flattened against the glass window.

"Oh oh! Is this the legendary Coral City? ”

The flesh standing next to him was even more exaggerated, and a large fuggy lump almost filled the entire window.

"That's amazing!

”

The cat's ears above his head shook slightly, and Sesame Lake, who was standing behind his tail, also let out a heartfelt sigh.

"It feels like an ideal city under the sea......

Although the scale is not as large as that of the Ideal City, the technical content here is no less than that of the Ideal City.

According to a certain elder brother Fang who has stayed in Ideal City for half a year and also took a certificate by the way, the prosperity of Ideal City actually has a certain amount of "moisture".

It's not that Ideal City isn't prosperous enough, but most wastelanders' first impression of Ideal City is much more exaggerated than what is really going on there.

The reinforced concrete used there is actually only the technology of the early era of prosperity, and the endpoint cloud is only a quantum computing network developed based on the core of the colonial ship.

This is one of the reasons why the academy and the legion do not take the prosperity of the ideal city into account, their ancestors are originally a family, and they know each other's true family background.

The Ideal City is essentially a society that has come to a standstill after a high degree of prosperity, but stagnation here is not a pejorative term, but a neutral word, after all, rationally speaking, they have indeed developed the land under their feet to the extreme.

If they were aiming for the Age of Prosperity, they really didn't have much to improve.

Compared to the ideal city that "looks far more prosperous than it actually is", Coral City falls into the other extreme of the spectrum of "actually more exaggerated than it seems".

It is located in the deep sea below 100 meters, and the deepest can reach hundreds of meters.

The construction of an undersea settlement in such a high-pressure environment that can be used for human life, production and research activities is a remarkable thing in itself.

And the technology needed to keep the colony running is no less than it would be to keep a space station running.

In particular, the fact that local survivors were able to do this without a steady input of nuclear fuel is a testament to the fact that they do have two brushes.

Listening to those shouting voices, the corners of Captain Chen Jianhong's mouth couldn't help but curl up with a smug smile, and he said with a smile.

"This isn't the grandest time for the settlement, it should only be about 50% reopened at the moment, and when all the facilities here are reopened, the situation here will be even more amazing than it is now! Of course, that would consume a lot of energy, and I'm afraid we will have to wait until the current power station is repaired. ”

Sisi, who had not spoken, said with emotion when he heard this.

"It only takes a split second to turn it off...... Will it take more than half a year or more to restart? ”

Chen Jianhong said with a grin.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Pretty much, after all, destruction is much faster than construction. ”

Coral City is like that, and so is the Age of Prosperity.

He had heard that in the distant past, the heavens had been connected to the ground by magnificent monuments, the torrents of metal and cement had spread infinitely on the horizon, endless deserts had been transformed into farmland, the cluttered and inefficient buildings of the past had been toppled into leafy wildernesses, and the planet had been divided into distinct worlds by imagination and technology.

And above the heavenly dome, the majestic colony ships even made an expedition to a new world five light years away.

In that era of extreme prosperity, the bottleneck of science and technology was no longer the boundary of imagination, but imagination became the bottleneck of the former.

And after human civilization reached the peak of history, it took two centuries for later people to return to one ten-thousandth of the prosperity of the past.

Today's Coral City can only be regarded as an inconspicuous pearl among countless treasures.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Today I took you on a tour of my hometown, and how about you take me to the distant heavens later. Chen Jianhong said with a smile.

Jumping off the glass window, his tail turned back and gave a thumbs up energetically.

"Oh! Deal! ”

"Hahaha!"

Amused by her cheerful appearance, although Chen Jianhong didn't take it seriously in his heart, he still said with a smile.

"Good! It's a word! ”

……

Just as the storm in the southern seas was subsiding, an even bigger storm was brewing in the land of Borneo.

In the northeastern corner of Borneo province, in the state of Menglu on the banks of the Tasang River, the winding and crawling trenches are carved into the barren land like scars.

Squatting in the trenches were all soldiers of the Moon Resistance Army, some of them holding rippers in their hands, some of them copying LD-47s in their hands, and some of them guarding a water-cooled "Makqin" that had been eliminated from Qingquan City.

The latter, because of its high rate of fire, low cost, and ease of maintenance, has played a big role in the wave of Qingquan City.

Although the Alliance has long since stopped producing this thing, and there are good substitutes, this cheap and useful equipment is exactly what he needs most for Lassy.

In addition, there are a series of Goblin technology products such as 88mm mortars, 20mm "riding guns" and other early versions, although they are not enough to see on the front line of Haiya Province, but they are still rare and good things in Borneo Province.

After all, the opponents of these Moon Clan Resistance Army, except for a few 100mm guns, many infantry even use iron pipe rifles and even bows and spears, and they can't even dig a trench!

In particular, the trenches without "discounts" did not even have an inflection point to unload the shock wave, but whenever a shell fell in the trenches, everyone on one line had to die, and there was no place to hide.

As most players who have been to this land have said on the forums, this is completely different from Haiya Province and Baiyue Province.

If Charas's Marines were brought here, it would probably be easier to win than the Burning Corps to win against them.

Of course, this is without taking into account supply and topographical factors. If you consider these two things, there is still a bit of attention to winning and losing.

On the position of the local army of Menglu Prefecture, Bamut, the governor of Mengqi Prefecture, held a telescope in his hand, looking at the highland not far away with a smile, and there was a trace of mockery on the corner of his gently raised mouth.

Nothing but a bunch of serfs.

Even if they dare to challenge His Majesty's authority, they simply don't know the height of the sky!

Although Mengli Prefecture is far away from Tiandu, he has spent a penny less on the army.

And unlike the group of soft-footed shrimp in Huzhou that were corrupted by the merchants, there were no pervasive profiteers in Mengqi Prefecture, and the local army was not only firmly controlled by the nobles, but also absolutely loyal to His Majesty Wu Huo.

The Menghu Army didn't dare to care about this group of Moon Clansmen, and he wouldn't be polite to these traitors.

He would cut off all their heads and put them in a wagon and send them all the way to the heavenly capital, so that the rebels who were ready to move would see what it would be like to be a traitor!

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I've heard that Lassi is just a slave, and it seems that Duke Nehac didn't train him well. ”

Listening to Duke Bamut's words, General Dasina, who was standing on the side, said with a flattering smile in his tone.

"Haha! Where is the Duke of Nehack like you? If it were you, you would definitely be able to train him to lower his eyebrows and pleasing his eyes, and never dare to bark his teeth at his master. ”

Duke Bamut smiled profusely.

"Femdom? It is better to hang this kind of dog on the city wall. ”

After a pause, he suddenly thought of something and spoke.

"Speaking of which, does he have a family?"

General Dasina was stunned and shook his head.

"I don't think so."

"That's a shame."

Bamut smacked his tongue regretfully and returned the telescope to the guard beside him.

It's the most boring to be an opponent with this kind of bachelor who only has a cheap life, and even if you win, you won't have much fun.

However, this guy's identity as a member of the Moon Clan is still somewhat useful, and I hope His Majesty will like this gift.

At this time, a two-meter-tall strong man suddenly stepped forward and bowed respectfully.

"Honorable Duke Bamut, General Dasina, allow me to be the vanguard! I promise you, the dead dog will be caught in front of you before the sun sets! ”

Bamut glanced at him, only feeling the might of this warrior's life, and his eyebrows couldn't help but carry a hint of appreciation.

Seeing this, the general standing on the side stepped forward half a step forward and introduced it very sensibly.

"This is Zak Hill under my command, the position is a thousand-commander, and his long-toothed thousand-man team can be regarded as the elite of our army! It is not a big problem for him to be the pioneer! ”

"Very good," seeing the professional's opinion, Duke Bamut nodded appreciatively, looked at the two-meter-tall strong man and said, "Commander Zackhir, since your commander is also optimistic about you, then you should be the vanguard." ”

The strong man's face was overjoyed when he heard this, and he hurriedly thanked him and said.

"Thank you, Lord Duke! Thanks to the generals! ”

Mengqi Prefecture is located in a remote area, it is rare to encounter such a big bandit, if he can make a contribution, maybe he will really hope to be a captain in his lifetime!

After receiving the order, Zackhill did not hesitate, immediately turned around and returned to his account, summoned a group of officers to hold a simple mobilization meeting, and then rushed to the front line with more than a thousand people.

They all had rifles of the Ripper, and two 100mm infantry guns, led by two two-headed oxen, and the firepower was not abundant!

Looking at this group of menacing guys, the soldiers on the local army positions showed awe-inspiring eyes and consciously made way for them.

"It's the teethers......"

"Commander Zackhill actually went into battle in person!"

"Eighty percent of these Moon Clansmen are dead......"

The officers of the Gray Wolves and the Willant were too far away for them, but the Fangs were the gods of war who could see with their eyes and stood right next to them.

Not only are these guys well-equipped, but they are all tall and strong, and they look as strong as calves.

Almost no one doubted that as long as this group of guys made a move, that group of grass robbers would be crushed in an instant.

In fact, since the resistance army entered Mengqi Prefecture, it has never lost small-scale battles, and it has never won large-scale battles, and the main forces have retreated again and again, and now they have all retreated to the edge of the Tasang River, relying on the higher terrain to barely gain a foothold.

These days, there is a lot of rain, and the Tasang River is turbulent, even if they want to cross the river and escape, they are afraid that there is no chance.

What's more, General Dasina had already calculated that they intended to cross the river and divide the territory to defend it, and he had already divided a team of 10,000 people to guard this group on the other side of the river.

At the same time, on the position of the Moon Resistance Army, the scouts lying in the observation post immediately discovered the movement of the local army, and passed the news to their superiors without saying a word.

The news was reported layer by layer, and within half a minute, it reached Lassy.

Inside the military tent.

Lassi gathered a group of officers who had followed him from the port of Goldgallen for a brief battle meeting, and everyone exchanged their opinions on the map.

"A team of 1,000 people, all of them carrying guns, is estimated to be the elite of the local army in Mengli Prefecture!"

"That fanged thousand-man team, I heard that the commander of the thousand is called Zakhir, a Menghu tribe, and it seems that he is also the son-in-law of General Dasina, the supreme commander of the local army."

One of the officers sneered.

"Heh, the special mother dares to let the descendants play the vanguard, these guys really don't take us seriously."

Another officer pinched his chin in thought.

"Since the Fangs Thousand are here, their commander should be on the front line, and I'm afraid they can catch a big fish this time."

Looking at Lassy, who had not spoken, the commander of the first regiment of the Resistance Army said with blazing eyes.

"Collect the Internet! Checkmate! ”

"Well, it's really time to fucking close the net, we've let those 50,000 pigs get enough in the past two weeks."

Although the local army claims to have 100,000 people, judging from the speed at which they set up camp and pulled out the camp, as well as the garbage thrown away after the camp and the thatched pits left behind, the number of livestock pulling supplies is only 50,000 or 60,000.

Lassy, who had been staring at the map for a long time, nodded, picked up the pen and carefully drew two marks on it, then looked up at his henchmen, and ordered with a serious expression.

"Tell the brethren that the time has come to fight back! Don't leave your hands anymore and beat me hard! ”

The officers stood up straight, gave an alliance salute, and shouted loudly and powerfully.

"Yes!

”

As the order was given, the soldiers on the Resistance positions moved like clockwork gears.

At this moment, Zackhill, who was leaving from the position with people, didn't know it, but felt that the high ground was quiet, and the Moon Clan people squatting in the trench were afraid that they were all scared stupid.

A hint of mockery hung on the corner of his mouth, and he ordered as he looked at the officer beside him.

"Kukas, let your artillery hit me ten rounds at that dirt slope! Mikheino, wait for the tenth sound of the cannon to sound, and then rush forward with the men! ”

"Yes!

”

The two centurions took their orders and ran briskly to their men.

Soon two cannon shots rang out, and the silence on the battlefield was quickly broken as the shells landed.

The deafening sound of artillery echoed through the positions of the Moon Resistance, and the young men with rifles stuck their heads to the edge of the trenches, their eyes shining with a vicious light.

Not a single one showed a scared expression.

Not a single one showed hesitation on their faces.

Because while they were under shelling, their commander was standing with them!

They were so confident that that man would lead them to ultimate victory!

In the midst of the roar of artillery fire, instead of hiding in the anti-artillery hole, Lassi went to the front-line position, crouched in the trench and shouted loudly at the horn.

"Bury your heads in the trenches! Think you're dead! ”

"Don't be ashamed, you'll soon rip open the bellies of those wild dogs, scatter their intestines on the ground, and wipe your shoes with their faces!"

"Remember the sound of the cannon for me! Wait for our cannon to sound! We will give them back this fear, our roar, doubly back! ”

At the same time that his roar fell, a deafening explosion was heard in the far northwest.

The sound seemed to be coming from the river.

When he heard this explosion, Duke Bamut, who was on the local army position, was slightly stunned, and wondered what the sound was, but General Dasina next to him changed his face instantly.

"Embankment...... It's the embankment of the Tasan River! ”

Mengli Prefecture is located in the lower reaches of the Tasang River, located in the alluvial plain, although the land is indeed fertile, but when the rainy season the river becomes flooded, not only the peasants suffer, but also the nobles who control the large and small estates.

So, the nobles who controlled the few fertile lands along the river gathered and built embankments on the widest part of the river to fill the land of their estates.

Recently, there has been a lot of rain in Mengli Prefecture, and the Tasang River is in the flood season, once the river embankment is breached, the entire downstream has to be soaked in water!

It's not just here......

Even Mengqiu City, which is hundreds of kilometers away, will suffer!

Hearing General Dacina's voice, Duke Bamut also suddenly came back to his senses, his face turned white, his lips trembled, and his breathing became short.

"This madman! What does he want to do!

”

And isn't the Moon Clan Resistance already surrounded by him by the river? How can someone still do something outside the encirclement!

And what the hell are the guys guarding the embankment doing! Such a big embankment can't be held!

He had too many questions to figure out, and he didn't have time to think about them.

Eighty percent of his "100,000 troops" stayed on the edge of the Tasang River, and the water from the upper reaches of the river could flood not only one or two miles, but also turn a radius of ten or twenty kilometers along the river into a swamp......

It's a chance to run if you want to!

"Quick! Load all the food in the car! ”

General Dasina yelled in despair, urging his soldiers to quickly pack up the rations and ammunition that had been piled up haphazardly in the shed, and he himself ran to the side of the ox cart.

As if the rolling tide had been heard, the cattle in the barracks were agitated.

At the same time, Mikheino, who was waiting at the front for the opportunity to attack, did not know what was happening in the rear.

Finally, when the tenth "cannon" sounded, he excitedly beckoned his hundred-man team to rush forward.

However, before the hundred-man team could rush up two steps, they heard the eleventh cannon again.

Mickheino had just wondered why the artillery had fired one more shot when the erratic shell landed in front of the Resistance position.

"Boom!

”

The flames of the explosion flashed away, and the soldiers of the Resistance were not knocked down, but the soldiers who charged forward were instantly blown down by the raging shrapnel because they did not have time to lie down.

"Ahh

"My legs!

”

"Arms! Oh my arm! ”

Several soldiers who had broken their arms and legs fell to the ground and wailed, and the sight of a lake of flesh and blood made the friendly soldiers next to them shudder and involuntarily slow down.

"What are these artillerymen doing?"

Shocked and angry, Mickhano glanced back hurriedly, and before he could curse, he heard a sudden burst of gunfire overhead.

At some point, a machine gun was mounted directly in front of their heads.

As the rapid gunfire rang out, trailing lights rained down on their faces with flickering gunfire.

The scene could only be described as tragic, and the soldiers who rushed to the front did not even have time to scream, and fell to the ground without saying a word, like wheat that had been cut down.

The soldiers in the back were stunned by the machine guns, and they all fell to the ground, huddled behind cover, and did not dare to move forward.

However, at this time, there was another burst of gunfire in the position on the left front, and swishing bullets smashed diagonally from above.

It seemed to be a bullet fired from the rear position, and this time they didn't even see the gunfire, so they were smashed with a cracker head and face, and it was useless to cover a little lower or lie on the spot.

Seeing that half of his men were lost in the blink of an eye, Mikhaino's heart hurt as if he was dripping blood, and he could only grit his teeth and call back the soldiers who had not yet rushed up.

After this back and forth, there were only twenty or thirty people left in a hundred-man team, and the remaining soldiers had even more shocked expressions on their faces.

Didn't their commander say that the group of guys on the other side were a bunch of serfs?

What kind of battle can a serf fight?!

It wasn't just Centurion Mickheino who was stunned, but Commander Zackhill, who was a little further back, was also stunned.

And what made the two even more confused was the back, how did this battle go on, and how did the mud under their feet soak in the water?!

By the time everyone came to their senses, the water that had burst the embankment had reached their knees, and in a few moments it had reached their chests.

Large quantities of driftwood and stones were washed down from upstream, as well as the remains of collapsed wooden houses.

The river that burst its banks poured thousands of miles on the plain, and a radius of hundreds of miles turned into a flooded country.

The soldiers of the local army standing on the front-line positions were scattered by the flood, hugging driftwood and dead trees and shouting for help, and those who could not water and those who were a little shorter drowned directly in the river, becoming one of the floating corpses rushing downstream.

They didn't even know what was going on, and they couldn't contact their superiors, and their superiors were the same, just trying to run for their lives, where could they care about the soldiers under them.

Looking at the Imperial soldiers who were soaked in the water, the corners of Lassy's mouth curled up into a cold smile as he stood on the battlefield.

Is this the Empire......

Zhente Niang's without beating.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I'm afraid this flood will have to flood for five or six days. Standing beside Lassy, his lieutenant said cautiously.

Their original plan was to use the water from the river that burst the embankment to flood the trenches of the Imperial local army, force the soldiers out of the trenches, and then take advantage of the bursting river to rush down to the pot.

But now, the plan can't keep up with the changes.

They underestimated the rapidity of the Tasan River, and the ripple effect caused by the river's burst was stronger than they had imagined, and they had already won without even having to follow the river downstream.

The troops hiding upstream should have completed their assembly by this time.

They had tied their ammunition and supplies to the rafts they had prepared, and it should not be long before they would be able to join them.

Six thousand against fifty thousand, with less than 100 casualties in the whole battle, this battle is enough to go down in the military history of Borneo......

"Don't say five or six days, it's okay to drown for another ten days and half a month."

Looking at the flooding plain, Lassi continued expressionlessly.

"We happened to be in the city to help the disaster."

As long as Menglu City and the docks there are taken, and people see the hope of victory, there will naturally be a steady stream of food and money sent over.

Whether it's from Port Gold Gallen, or from Port Fries.

And he can start planning for the rest of the day......
