Chapter 1443: Why Are You Like?
When Lorraine leaned over and looked down from the side of the ship, she felt the blood in her brain freeze.
I saw that at the bottom of the clear and transparent seabed, there were countless undead beings walking towards the battleship, and the flowing sea water made the figures of the undead creatures twist and shake, and it looked very strange on the sea surface.
Due to the resistance of the seawater, the movements of these undead creatures on the bottom of the sea look extremely slow and funny, and the undead creatures are already slow, and they seem to be slowing down dozens of times on the bottom of the sea.
But the mighty army of the undead was like a river under the sea, gathering together and slowly surging towards the fleet, which made people shudder.
The necromancer at the front was no more than ten meters away from the battleship.
At this time, the undead spirits at the bottom of the sea also seemed to sense something, and they raised their heads one after another and looked at the water.
Rao is Lord Luo's concentration is amazing, and he has long been accustomed to seeing the undead summoned by the lich, but looking at the empty and dark eyes of the necromancers, he still feels a burst of coldness, rising from the depths of his heart.
Not only Lord Lorraine, but countless pairs of eyeless eyes looked at the sea, and the officers and soldiers around Lorraine screamed in fright, retreated several steps in a row, and some even sat down on the ground.
Lord Lorraine looked up and glanced in the direction of the necromancer.
The long gray-white procession at the bottom of the sea lined up until it reached the middle of the harbor, made a slight turn, and then the figure of the follow-up troops was blocked by the hills of the island, and disappeared on the other side of the island.
Apparently, they took advantage of the fact that the humans were attracted by the enemies on the shore, and then quietly bypassed the shallow waters of another beach.
Give the dummy?
These dead bones and sticks actually know the art of war?~!!
Thinking of this, Lorraine's heart couldn't help but sink.
All the time. Necromancers though they are constantly fighting against humans. But their minds are rigid. In other words, they simply don't have any brains, they don't know any strategy and tactics at all, they just know how to command the soldiers to rush forward in a swarm.
Pile up your opponents with tons of undead creatures.
This crazy tactic will have some effect in the beginning.
Because humans who don't know about the undead are first afraid, and then the attack of hard-topped undead creatures is often defeated in a long war of attrition.
But when humans are prepared and understand the weaknesses of undead creatures, they can adopt various tactics. Defeat them.
Ambushes, detours, decapitations...... And so on and so forth, and the Necrons will be defeated.
This is also the reason why human knights can stand side by side with magicians and priests. They are not only the main force of the battle, but also the planner and commander of the war.
Flexibility, brains, and close cooperation are the greatest strengths of human beings.
If played properly. A small team of knights, mages, and priests can easily farm a Lich dungeon.
And now, the undead actually know the art of war. Then they will be more difficult and more terrifying than ever.
If you use undead creatures to use ambushes, interspersed and other tactics, I am afraid that it will be more difficult than humans.
In this way, human beings must also be more cautious than ever in the way the undead fight.
The battlefield is indeed the best teacher, and extremely stubborn people like necromancers have learned how to fight.
At this time, the results of the multi-day training of the Navy can finally be seen.
Although the enemy was approaching, the officers and men on the ship did not panic and acted according to the response plan that had been trained thousands of times.
An officer had already instructed the soldiers to take out their machine guns, set them up on the side of the ship, and shoot them into the sea. However, the bullets fired into the sea quickly lost their kinetic energy and did not do much damage to the undead creatures.
At the same time, the ship's weapons manager distributes weapons and ammunition to each sailor.
Some people rushed out with ammunition boxes, and the sailors on the side of the boat pried open the boxes with all their hands, took out one grenade after another, pulled the fuse, and threw it into the water.
Because the two sides were too close to each other, they were afraid that the warship would be affected, so humans did not dare to throw bombs directly into the sea.
It would be a joke if you didn't wait for the undead creatures to attack, and the humans themselves blew their own ships into a big hole. Therefore, it can only be used with all kinds of light weapons.
For a moment, there was the sound of machine guns, the clanging of bullet casings raining down on the deck, the explosion of grenades thrown into the sea, the shouts of sailors, the roars of officers, and the roar of war fortresses as they rose and fell...... All kinds of sounds converged and resounded on the deck, and it was very lively.
Immediately, the air whistle on the Enterprise sounded, and a long roar was heard, like the "whining" sound of a giant beast's roar, which spread throughout the island.
Immediately afterwards, the hull weighing 10,000 tons shook slightly, and the huge enterprise slowly started.
The powerful propellers kept spinning in the water, stirring up white sprays.
The power of a powerful industrial civilization is far beyond the reach of the slow-moving necromancers.
Propelled by all the steam engines, the Enterprise's bulky hull turned slightly, leaving a wide trail on the surface of the sea, easily leaving the necrons far behind.
Seeing the distance between the two sides widen, a war fortress hovering over the battlefield could not wait to swoop down from the sky and drop a heavy bomb in the crowd of the undead.
Seeing the thick bomb falling vertically from the sky, the sailors on the ship cursed one after another, and at the same time, they all threw the things they had at hand, and then clung to the thing that could fix their bodies around them.
At this moment, the bomb 'popped' and fell into the water, splashing a wave.
In the next second it exploded in the sea.
There was a loud 'boom' sound.
A 20-meter-high column of water immediately splashed on the surface of the sea, and the sea water splashed in all directions like a torrential rain.
Although the bomb was already fifty or sixty meters away from the mothership, the huge waves and powerful shock wave still shook the hull back and forth.
The turbulent sea water slammed against the hull with a muffled thud, and many of the soldiers on board fell to the ground unsteadily.
At this time. The fortress of war flew triumphantly over their heads. Everyone couldn't help but raise their fists. Another painful scolding at it.
The sea water near the frying point was suddenly stirred into a pot of gruel, and the sand and gravel from the bottom of the sea turned up, staining the sea surface gray and white.
The dead spirits that had sunk to the bottom of the sea were shattered by the explosion and floated up one after another, and at a glance, the sea was full of stumps and broken arms.
Despite this, there were still necromancy in the rear that kept rushing up, through the sea. You can see that they are densely packed, like a river under the sea, constantly pouring in.
Everywhere he went, the bottom of the sea was dyed a strange gray color.
When they saw that the largest warship had galloped away, they immediately split into several strands like a bifurcating torrent and rushed towards the warships parked in the harbor bend.
'Boom, boom, boom, boom...... ' The five battleships of the Naian fleet and the Elven Navy kept firing towards the shore, and the explosion resounded throughout the fleet.
Seeing the undead coming from the bottom of the sea. The battleships that were relatively close to the island also closed their anchors one after another, but this way. The accuracy of naval guns has been greatly reduced.
The war fortress takes off and lands non-stop on the deck of the mothership, shuttling back and forth.
They load bombs and throw them into the sea, or into distant forests, where they will throw bombs whenever there is a dense population of undead creatures.
Then he returned and loaded with new bombs again.
After one pilot carried two boxes of grenades to the war fortress and threw the grenades downwards as he threw them, the other pilots followed suit, taking the grenades into the sky and throwing them at the undead on the ground.
Due to the non-stop heavy labor, the ground crew on the deck were all tired and sweaty at this time.
The ammunition boxes that originally needed to be sorted out were not cleaned up, and they were thrown aside indiscriminately, and even thrown directly into the sea when there was nowhere to pile them up.
The whole harbor bend now resembles a volcano on fire.
The roar of naval guns, the explosion of bombs, the neighing of machine guns, the cries of soldiers, and the muffled howls of the necromancy.
On the beach, despite the desperate efforts of the Marines to stop the fire, more and more dead spirits poured out.
The blackened figure was like an endless fog, trapping the human soldiers, leaving only a small clearing in the middle of the beach. And over time, the extent of the open space is getting smaller and smaller.
If this continues, they will probably not last long.
There are signal men sweating profusely waving signal flags at the mothership: we need ammunition, we need reinforcements, we need ......
On the sea, the warships opened fire and moved back and forth.
As a result, the undead at the bottom of the sea are unable to accurately grasp the movements of the ship. Second, even if there are undead spirits clinging to the bottom of the ship, as long as the friction between the hull and the water surface can wash those undead from the bottom of the ship, so that they cannot dig the bottom of the ship from under the sea.
The undead tried a few times, then changed their methods and emerged from the bottom of the sea.
All of a sudden, the sea surface was black and oppressive, completely covering the originally blue sea.
The battleship traveled back and forth, speeding over the heads of the necrons, the heavy hull crushing them to pieces with ease.
But as the ship passed, the undead on either side howled and grabbed the plank, and climbed upward. Their sharp, bony fingers can be pierced into the plank like knives.
However, climbing the outer arc of the ship's side was an extremely difficult maneuver, and many of the undead only climbed a few steps up slightly before falling down.
The number of undead creatures in the sea is so large that other undead can climb up by stepping on the bodies of their counterparts in the sea.
More and more undead clinged to the hull, and the other undead grabbed their bodies and climbed up, covering the hull like ants attached to sugar cubes, spreading upwards step by step.
Some even popped up from the side of the ship.
When the sailors on board noticed this, they screamed and fired at the heads of the undead, knocking them off the side of the ship.
Immediately, they stood on the side of the ship, then leaned out and opened fire on the undead creatures that were close at hand.
At this time, the great power of the shotgun was seen.
Although ordinary rifles have a long range and strong bullet penetration, because of this, they often can't kill those dead creatures, and a few pieces of rotten flesh or a few bones of the undead creatures are taken away with one shot, and it has no effect on them.
Instead, it's a shotgun. Although the range is short. But it's area killing.
There is no need to aim at all. With one shot, more than fifty tiny steel balls spilled out, and those high-speed projectiles would blast the necromancer out of a big hole, even if he couldn't kill the opponent, he could be blown apart and lose his combat power.
This is especially noticeable when cleaning the outside of a battleship, often with a single shot. The steel ball will penetrate the bodies of several undead, and the undead in front of them will come out empty, as if they have been swept by a broom.
The ship was also in full swing for a while.
Under these circumstances, the firepower on the other side of the bank unconsciously weakened somewhat.
The undead compressed the Marines on the beach, trying to drown them.
The soldiers were all frightened and leaned down and shot even harder, sending bullets out like a scoop. Some people even threw grenades incessantly.
At the same time, the commander of the Marine Corps also began to send signals to the rear, asking Lord Luo. Now that the enemy is attacking fiercely, the brothers are a little overwhelmed. Let's not move in temporarily, and then figure out the future.
Lord Luo's reply made everyone's hearts drop to the bottom all of a sudden, and then hold on for the last five minutes~!
In all war stories, as soon as this kind of signal is issued, it is actually the same as the legendary 'going back to your hometown to get married'.
The final outcome is often when they are all killed in battle, and the reinforcements will be late.
Sometimes, of course, the reinforcements don't come at all.
At this time, Lorraine had already turned around and walked to the cabin.
When he came to the bridge, he saw that in the cabin, several cardinals were busy around a magic circle in the middle, and from time to time they stood up, closed their eyes, and cast spells outside the cabin.
To detect evil, ordinary priests will have basic holy arts, which can be used to spot dark creatures nearby.
Once the circle unites several powerful clergy, the detection range will be greatly expanded, and the Holy See will be able to detect the undead with ease.
This is why very few lichs can operate on the human continent, and all the lichs on the upper continent try to avoid human churches.
The Holy See has this thing in almost all of its churches.
With churches scattered all over the continent, the Holy See can easily monitor the situation in various parts of the continent and catch every evil and heresy that appears in the detection range. It's much easier to use than the 'prism project' of the rice side devils.
As the cardinals cast their spells, occasionally a red dot would appear on the magic circle in the middle, but it would disappear again.
Every now and then, the cardinals sigh.
Lorraine frowned, and said, "How's the situation now? I've been delaying you for a full hour, have you found the location of the lich?"
The cardinals glanced at each other, and then one of them stood up, bowed deeply to Lorraine, and said, "Earl, our Holy Light Array can detect the enemy's traces, but the enemy is quite cunning. They also know that we have 'Detect Evil' and can catch their whereabouts, so they are constantly on the move. So ......"
Looking at the embarrassment on the other party's face, Lorraine couldn't help but curse in his heart: Waste~!
He pointed at the other party's nose and wanted to scold, but then he thought about it, these people did not contribute less. Now this situation is entirely technical, and the responsibility is not on them.
Therefore, he let out a long sigh at the end, and turned to leave.
But immediately the cardinal said, "My lord, so I think we should move this Holy Light Array to the War Fortress and conduct real-time detection on the War Fortress.
If there's a red dot, we'll chase it and we'll catch that guy."
Lorraine couldn't help but pause. Then he looked back at the cardinal, as if he didn't know him.
For a long time, in the image of the lord, these gods are quite afraid of death, but I didn't expect that there are actually guys who dare to go to the front line.
The cardinal was bitter in his heart at this time: if he could, who would want to go to the front?
But now Lord Luo has dragged them for more than an hour to reconnoiter the location of the lich, but so far, there is still no result.
If you don't fight again, it is estimated that you will have to be sent by His Majesty the Pope to the Sahara Desert to tell the rabbit the story of the God of Light back then.
Lord Luo thought for a moment, and then asked, "How long?"
The cardinal couldn't help but be stunned and said, "What?"
Lorraine paused for a moment, then said, "I asked you how long it will take to prepare?"
The cardinal gritted his teeth and said, "Half an hour, at least half an hour." Aerial reconnaissance also takes time. ”
Lorraine stared at him, then said, "I'll give you twenty minutes." If it doesn't work, I'll turn around and leave. Got it?"
The cardinal grimaced his face nervously, gritted his teeth, and said, "I see, my lord. ”
Lorraine nodded slightly, then picked up a shotgun next to him, then pulled the handguard hard, loaded the bullet, and walked out.
The cardinals also hurriedly packed up the magic array on the table, and then followed him closely and walked out.
They climbed a war fortress, quickly lifted into the air, and then flew deeper into the island, escorted by others.
Lorraine took the gun to the side of the ship and opened fire on the necromancy on the hull.
Seeing that the dignified commander actually went into battle in person, the soldiers on the ship were immediately demoralized, and they shouted one after another, and fired fiercely at the outside of the ship.
Under the fire of the guns, the dead fell one after another.
Lorraine looked up and looked to the shore, only to see that the soldiers had been compressed to within fifty meters.
Around them, the corpses of the necromancers were piled up like hills. This is a good thing for humanity's defenses, because the necromancers must first crawl over the corpses and stumps of their companions if they want to attack. This is not an easy task for the undead with limited mobility.
But, despite this, they kept moving forward.
Lorraine wanted to order the soldiers on the shore to retreat, but this was the first battle with the undead, and it meant a lot. For fighters, morale comes first.
If you can build up the morale of the army and erect a myth that you cannot fight, then in the future, human beings will have no fear in the face of death. Just like Napoleon Napoleon, or little Hee Go, when he swept through Europe, the enemy who was frightened enough to frighten him fled when he heard the news.
As the minutes ticked by, Lorraine fired at the ship's bottom as she glanced at the sky, only to see that the war fortresses were still hovering in the air.
I don't know how long it took, but I finally heard a loud 'boom' sound. I saw a huge orange fireball rising from the mountain forest in the distance.
As the fireball rose into the air, the surrounding necromancers froze for a moment. Some of them fell to the ground suddenly, while others began to turn and flee.
The pressure on humanity was greatly reduced. The soldiers burst into cheers.
At this moment, a melodious horn was heard in the distance.
Lorraine was stunned for a moment, then turned to look, and saw countless sail shadows on the horizon in the distance. The follow-up army is finally here~!
Seeing this, Lorraine couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief.
The officers and soldiers looked at those reinforcements, but did not cheer, and their eyes showed strange looks: Grandma's, the uncles were about to urinate blood just now, where are you? I don't need you now, you puppies have come out.
Immediately, a huge war fortress was seen roaring in the sky.
After a while, the war fortress came to a halt on the mothership.
Immediately, Grand Duke Julius, dressed in a neat military uniform, jumped down.
He looked at Lorraine's face full of gunsmoke and couldn't help but wonder, "Why do you look like? What happened?"
