[470] The trend of the times
Spirit Flame Lotus Island.
Eighth Dive Pier.
The so-called "dive dock" is not an ordinary dock that people imagine.
This is a special pier built under Liandao, which is specially used for sea eagles, ospreys and other deep submersibles.
It's not hard to build the way either.
A large stone cave was dug under Liandao, ranging in length from three to five kilometers, and then a wide underground waterway was dug to connect directly to the ocean.
And so it goes.
Sea eagles and ospreys can enter the deep sea through the waterway, or enter the dock from the waterway, where various replenishment and maintenance work can be completed.
Even if there is a storm in the outside world, it will not affect the combat attendance of the Deep Diving Legion.
At this time.
The third berth of the pier is in a 30-meter-wide and 500-meter-long waterway.
The huge stone cave is filled with a strange salty smell.
"Wow~"
I only heard the sound of rolling waves.
Big guys more than ten meters and tens of meters long surfaced from the water one after another.
It was the sea eagle and the war eagle.
It can be clearly seen that more than half of the surface of the deep submersible has been damaged, and even more than a dozen of them have broken their balance wings.
This is naturally the unfortunate encounter with the Xuanshi-level sea monster's C16 deep-diving formation.
Fools know that this formation must have experienced a great danger in the deep sea.
A large number of people who were on duty at the wharf surrounded them one after another.
"Throw the cable!"
"Winch ready!"
"Erect a pontoon!"
A shout echoed through the cavity.
The docks immediately got busy.
One by one, the submersibles successfully completed the berthing procedures.
The soldiers who participated in this underwater patrol also successfully stepped on the pier.
Many of them had broken blood on their heads, and their heads were covered with bandages, and blood stains could be clearly seen.
Before the black-scaled kraken escaped, a turbulent current was set off, and many sea eagles and ospreys were involved, causing many people to be injured.
A group of paramedics trotted over with medicine kits, examined the wounded one by one, and asked if they had any unusual feelings.
Several Xuanshi from the foreign war zone stood quietly in a corner, and they were also terrified in their hearts.
Zhongsun Wen glanced at his entourage and asked a question in a low voice: "In recent months, have the casualties of the Sea Eagle Legion been large?" ”
The entourage replied with a respectful face: "Commander Qi Zhongsun, the battle with the sea monster in the deep sea in the war zone is even more fierce than the sky.
"Since the creation of the Sea Eagle Legion, the number of registered dead has exceeded six thousand, an average of more than eight hundred per month."
Zhong Sun Wen nodded lightly.
The other Xuanshi also had different complexions.
The attendant whispered another thing: "Last month, a formation was completely wiped out in the battle, and more than 360 people died, and even the bodies were not recovered. ”
As for the whereabouts of the body, it is not difficult to guess.
That's it—to be the stuff of the sea monster.
Zhongsun Wen was silent.
This Xuanshi only went on a mission, and he was shocked.
It is conceivable that the soldiers of the Sea Eagle Legion have been fighting under tremendous pressure.
It's not easy.
It's time to come.
Zhong Sun Wen suddenly fully understood why Vice General Cheng would unremittingly improve the status of the soldiers, even at the expense of offending the Xuanshi class.
Because they deserve it!
Besides.
From the perspective of interests, this is also a very necessary thing.
The soldiers have made such a great sacrifice and deserve to be commensurately rewarded, otherwise who would be willing to die for the war zone in the future?
For a moment.
"Whoa!"
Another splash.
I saw an osprey dragging a fishing net and surfaced.
Inside the net was a pile of parts and several strangely shaped corpses.
Not a sea monster.
Rather, warriors in uniform.
There are four in total.
One of the corpses had been severed from the waist, a large number of organs had flowed out, and a great deal of pain remained on his face.
There was also a corpse whose head had been flattened by the current, and its body had been bent into a strange shape.
When Chaikun suddenly launched an attack earlier, the two Sea Eagles disintegrated in an instant, and several warriors who piloted the Sea Eagles naturally met with bad luck.
A lieutenant glanced at it, lowered his eyelids, and his voice was a little hoarse: "Get the bodies up first, and then help them sort them out." ”
Since the construction of this pier, although the captain can see the body every once in a while, he still feels very uncomfortable at the moment.
When he set out, he was still a lively person, but when he came back, he became like this.
"Yes!"
A dozen warriors rushed over and pulled up the nets with their hands and feet, as if they were just asleep, lest they disturb their rest.
Soon.
The body was roughly sorted out, and it looked like a human being.
The lieutenant himself took several pieces of black cloth and covered the remains one by one.
His back straightened, and he shouted, "Salute!" ”
A group of soldiers saluted in unison, and chanted solemnly: "The deep sea in the war zone will be guarded by us!" ”
Not far away.
Several Xuanshi from the foreign war zone watched this scene, and they were all moved.
They all sensed the determination in the tone of the warriors, and judging from their actions, the warriors were indeed fulfilling their promises with their lives.
A few seconds passed.
The lieutenant waved his hand and shouted, "Collect the body and send it away!" ”
The fighters immediately followed the order.
The funeral mode of the Sea Eagle Legion is different from that of the Sky Knights, the remains of the warriors will be completely cremated, and then carried by the Sea Eagle into the deep sea.
The implication of this is actually to emulate the funeral of the Sky Knight who "sprinkled the sky flowers all over the ocean".
Another moment.
A soldier trotted over and whispered a word in the lieutenant's ear.
The lieutenant shouted, "Everyone, the four ospreys dragging the sea monster have entered the waterway and are about to arrive at the dock, everyone get ready." ”
Soon.
A waterway that had been deliberately vacated, and the sea water suddenly surged.
"Whoa!"
Accompanied by the sound of large water waves.
Several ospreys, carrying a mountain of meat, slowly emerged from the waterway.
This is indeed Roshan!
The size of the black-scaled kraken has reached a height of fifty meters, and the weight is more than 1,500 tons, which is definitely a behemoth.
Its two vertical eyeballs are no less than seven meters in diameter, which is a cut higher than a two-story building.
There was a black sharp horn in the center of the corpse's forehead, which was nearly fifteen meters long, and there were dense spiritual patterns distributed on it.
You don't have to ask.
This sharp horn is a treasured transcendent material.
"My Mom!"
"So big!"
A large group of warriors looked up at Roshan, and exclamations rang out one after another.
Meanwhile.
The little coercion left by the corpse was then emanated, making many people feel uncomfortable.
"I seem to be feeling a little flustered!"
"I feel a little breathless too!"
"This giant beast is very powerful, your mental power is a little weaker, it's better to stand farther away."
Although several Xuan Masters had seen the corpses in the deep sea, they still felt a strong shock when they watched them up close at this time.
Zhong Sun Wen took a light breath and muttered in a low voice: "It's incredible! ”
This sentence is a bit clueless.
But everyone else understood what he meant.
They were still a little unbelievable that a mere mystic warrior could kill such a powerful monster with one blow from a long distance.
*
A quarter of an hour later.
The entire Dongli theater was shaken.
After all, in any war zone, killing a powerful Xuanshi-level sea monster is something to boast about.
And under normal circumstances.
Either the Xuandu powerhouse personally attacked, or the war zone directly used the powerful Xuanyuan Array, so that the Xuanshi-level sea monster could be successfully killed.
Stand to reason.
This incident spread like a storm throughout the six lotus islands in the Dongli theater.
The personal prestige of Vice General Cheng has also climbed to the peak in this war zone, and even completely overshadowed the main sword of Wanli.
Inside another battle fort.
The deputy general, Feng Guangjun, looked at his subordinates and asked again and again: "Are you sure that the sea monster in the deep diving dock is really at the level of a Xuanshi?" ”
The subordinate swore in a confident tone: "It's true!" Now there are still a few foreign theater mystics who can testify. ”
He also revealed a piece of gossip: "If it weren't for Vice General Cheng who killed the sea monster in the air with the help of the power of the gods, these Xuan Masters would almost not be able to come back!" ”
Feng Guangjun tried his best to suppress his surprise and waved his hand: "You go down first!" ”
The subordinate answered and left quickly.
"Bang!"
The door had just closed.
Feng Guangjun gasped: "How is this possible?!" ”
However.
No matter how hard he is to accept, facts are facts.
Feng Guangjun remembered one thing, and muttered with a slightly ugly face: "I'm afraid that tomorrow will be difficult!" ”
Now that the black-scaled tribes gathered around the war zone are becoming more and more numerous, there will be another atrium meeting tomorrow to discuss relevant countermeasures.
Last time, he proposed that the sea eagles and ospreys take the initiative to attack the black-scaled tribes on the periphery of the war zone, while Vice General Cheng insisted on patrolling the underwater current belt.
This time, the Deep Diving Legion bumped into a Xuanshi-level Kraken underwater, which completely proved the correctness of the other party's decision.
At tomorrow's meeting, as long as Vice General Cheng mentions it in passing, he must not lose an adult?
What's worse is that in the decision-making of this big war, he will completely lose his right to speak, and it will be more difficult to obtain military merits.
The more Feng Guangjun thought about it, the more he regretted it: "I knew earlier...... Alas! ”
*
Night.
Zhong Sun Wen stayed in the station and began to write the report as usual.
But this time.
This foreign theater master did not focus his main pen and ink on the new weapons, new equipment, and new tactics in the Dongli theater.
He devoted a considerable amount of space to focusing on what he saw and heard at the dive dock.
“…… Vice General Cheng killed the powerful Kraken with one blow, which was certainly a shocking thing.
"But in my personal opinion, the loyalty and courage shown by the soldiers of the Sea Eagle Legion gave me an even greater shock.
"I can't believe that after a nine-life experience, some uninjured fighters only rested for two hours before going on their next patrol mission.
"As far as I know, Deputy General Cheng of the Dongli Theater has formulated a set of medal systems to vigorously improve the status of soldiers.
"The fact that the fighters fought so enthusiastically has something to do with it."
Zhong Sunwen hesitated for a moment, and then added: "Judging from the current situation, the changes of the times have come inexorably.
"In this war, the warrior will definitely play a more important role.
"I strongly suggest that the medal system should be adopted in this theater."
Zhong Sunwen stopped his pen and muttered in a low voice: "Anyone who goes against the trend of the times will be eliminated, I hope that the medal system will be implemented in the war zone as soon as possible." ”
*
Almost at the same time.
Liu Xuanshi, who was excluded by others, is also working hard to write.
This guy briefly described the experience of this battle and gave his own conclusions.
"Facts have once again proved that Xuanshi is the one who really decides the direction of the war.
"Although the flaming eagle and the osprey are good things and can be helpful in the war, there is no need to force their role up."
