Broadly on the river. Because of the continuous rainfall in the north before. The water surface used to be much higher.

It was originally a natural river in the northern part of the mainland. Further east, since the Empire began to build the Kaspersky Line three years ago, it took tens of thousands of laborers, nearly a million gold coins, and two years to nearly double the original channel of the river.

In particular, the estuary on the eastern side of the sea has been widened by more than three times, making this not very famous river on the continent become an artificial river with a transportation capacity second only to the Lancang Grand Canal on the Roland Empire.

And all this is only for the needs of the war site.

One by one, the Imperial Sea Soul-class ships were moving slowly. Because there wasn't much wind. So the big ship moved very slowly, and the three-masted sail was the traditional white sè of the Roland Imperial Navy, and the very top. The banner of the Imperial Thorn Flower flutters.

These converted sea vessels. In order to be able to run in inland rivers, the lower draft of the hull is placed on both sides of the ground. All are installed to roll in the water with the help of rollers in the water.

On the south bank of this Grand Canal is one of the three major fortresses of the Kaspersky Line. Eastern Fortress.

Three divisions of the Stormwind Regiment were stationed here, and more than 100,000 local garrisons were mobilized to the north.

Then the canal became a strong bulwark to guard the northern and eastern parts of the empire!

This fortress was slightly smaller than the main fortress personally defended by General Rostock in the middle of the Kaspersky Line. But it costs a lot more here.

In order to make the artificial river an integral part of the eastern part of the Kaspersky Line, the fortress was built on the southern bank of the river, which could serve as a moat. In wartime. The wide river will become a natural barrier for the Emperor [**] team on the south bank!

If the army of the sinners wanted to cross the river, it would be a very difficult task: if they tried to use boats. Then the Imperial Navy can drive directly into the river from the eastern estuary to crush the enemy on the water!

The Imperial Navy, which has been in operation for many years, has experienced so many expeditions in the South Seas. On the water, this is definitely a force to be trusted! The charges may be powerful, but even Du Wei doesn't believe it. These orcs are capable of building ships better than humans.

And if the other side wants to build a bridge, it will be an inexhaustible job! The navy can easily destroy the pontoon bridge with a strong ship, or even ...... It is possible to let some of the criminals cross the river first, and then destroy the bridge. Then the only end for some of the sinners in the river crossing is to be surrounded and annihilated.

The sinners also seem to understand the difficulty of getting past the eastern defenses. At the beginning of the war. The wolf cavalry of the sinners also saw an outpost on the other side of the river on the eastern defensive line, but quickly retreated. According to the recent military situation, it seems that there have been scattered activities of those monster race armies on the other side. But. The other side did not attack for a long time.

However, the central part of the land is mainly plugged. It has gone through a series of fierce battles in many venues.

The orcs had apparently seen the truth, and they would rather use their flesh and blood to ram the fortified fortifications of the central blockade. There has been no attempt to attack this water line.

Now. After continuous heavy rainfall, the river rises. The river surface is more open, and the large warships of the Imperial Sea Soul level can easily drive into the river. Even in some relatively wide areas. It can also be assembled into a complete naval battle formation!

At the moment, it is heading towards the eastern fortress on the river. It is subordinate to the third detachment of the East Sea Fleet of the Roland Imperial Navy. A full twenty-three large Earth Sea Soul-class ships were fully loaded, and all of them were loaded with strategic materials that were continuously transported from the southern part of the empire.

Because inland transportation consumes too much. After the start of this war. The empire's vast navy. He served as the corner of the Imperial Maritime Transport Team. Numerous ports along the southern coast of the empire gathered all kinds of supplies from the southern part of the empire: weapons, food, military salaries, and armor. Winter coat. And so on and so forth, and then. The Imperial Navy will fill the ship with a full load. Follow the eastern coastline all the way north, and then drive inland from the canal land estuary. Delivered to the frontline fortress.

Although these days the north has seen a series of historically unusually continuous rainfall. But today in the fall, in the south of the empire. It can be said that the Roland Empire is so powerful that it has the potential for war that far exceeds that of the sinners. With the help of a huge supply in the rear. Human war materials can be replenished to the front in a steady stream.

This fleet was carrying a large amount of grain for the winter. In order to increase the capacity as much as possible, these large ships were equipped only with the necessary sailors and a very sparse combat formation. Most of the ship's holds are used to load cargo.

On deck, the sailors began to put away their sails as they worked, under the orders of the boatswain. Some of the combat personnel were staring nervously at the north bank of the river.

"Don't be nervous, rookie. An old sailor came over and patted a newcomer who was obviously still very immature. "I've been to this river six times. The monstrous armies couldn't cross the river. They can only go back and forth on the north shore and tell you that we are on the water. It's just safe, they can't get into the river!"

As he spoke, the old waterman, whose clothes were stained with rust, pointed to the ballistas on the deck, which were covered with canvas. "Look! Do you see those big guys? These things are amazing! If those monsters dare to come near the shore." A shot past...... Bang!"

He spread his hands. I made a ballista shè movement.

At this time, the people on the lookout suddenly lowered their heads and shouted loudly: "There is an enemy situation on the north shore!!"

This shout immediately alarmed the people on board. Many sailors immediately ran towards the right side of the hull.

Soon, someone shouted, "Hey, look, there, there, those monsters are there!" It's just like the legend. ”

Most of the sailors showed no fear. Pointing to the North Shore and scolding. Finger and point.

Above the north bank, between the river slopes. One by one, dark shadows emerged from the bushes. The giant wolf, a brown and long-haired wolf, bared its teeth at the human fleet that was slowly moving dozens of meters apart on the river. The mouth kept sobbing with hostility.

And above the wolf's back. Those rough but hard iron armor wolf cavalry, green eyes under the iron helmet. He stared coldly at the smiling human sailors on the ship.

Rivers separated by tens of meters. Makes it impossible for the wolf cavalry to attack the big ship, even if the giant wolf is strong in jumping. It is also absolutely impossible to jump tens of meters onto the boat.

These wolf cavalry did not use bows and arrows. They just appeared in rows on the river break. Coldly cast a look at the human ship. Youdi pulled out his long knife and brought it to his mouth, spitting out his scarlet tongue and gently licking the blood on the blade.

Some newcomers on the ship who hadn't seen the scene before. Seeing the appearance of those long-lying places, I can't help but change my sè. It's the old sailors who have experienced this scene many times. They comforted their companions: "Don't be afraid, we are on the water." There's no way they can't do it! Unfortunately, there are so few of them, and we did it last time. These guys run fast. Ballistas can't kill them in large numbers. Otherwise, they were so close to us, the captain would have ordered the cannon to be fired. ”

More unscrupulous sailors even made some humiliating and scolding gestures against the other side.

"Monster! Come here, are you afraid of water! Hahahaha!"

"Come on, jump down and take a shower!!"

"Oh, I like your fur!I'd love to peel your skin and make a new coat!!"

Listen to the scolding of the sailors. The commander did not stop it immediately, this war has come to this point, many soldiers have been killed in the front, and there is a deep hatred between humans and these dragons, and the actions of the sailors are also very normal.

It took a while for his subordinates to vent before the sailor leader went over, kicked a few people in the buttocks, and scolded: "Stop playing!, get to work!。 Hurry, hurry, hurry! Get me back to work!"

At the helmsman in the stern of the ship was a middle-aged man dressed in the uniform of an Imperial Navy commander. He put down the telescope in his hand. Closed his eyes back from the North Shore. This is the captain of this ship, he frowned, suddenly glanced at the first mate beside him, and said in a low voice: "I think something is unusual. ”

"Nothing strange. They can stare at us from the shore. The first mate muttered, "Captain." We've seen this happen several times. ”

"But I think this time is different. The captain frowned. His brows tightened together: "Remember, we saw the enemy on the shore last night, and now it seems that they have been following us on the shore for a day and a night, and this has not happened before......"

The first mate thought for a moment. said: "Anyway, it's almost to the fortress, and these guys can't make any tricks." My lord. ”

The captain muttered for a moment: "Be careful. Pass on my orders and keep all combat personnel on combat readiness! Ballista gunners are in position!"

The first mate immediately stood solemn. A military salute was performed. I was about to answer, but at this time!

Rumble!!

There was a roar. It was from the bow of the ship! The roaring crash came from underwater! The sailors on board had not yet had time to shout. I felt a violent shaking under my feet. Some even stood on the side of the boat and watched the locals, caught off guard. It was planted in the river at once.

The hull of the ship shook violently, and in an instant, a dangerous shadow enveloped everyone's hearts!

"Your Excellency. We've hit the rocks. A boatswain, accustomed to walking on the sea, immediately came to report, and the captain immediately roared: "Fools! We are not at sea! This is an inland canal!

Just finished speaking. I heard another "boom"!!

This time the ground was louder than before, and the hull shook violently. Yes, the captain stumbled violently. Narrowly missed. He grabbed the rudder and roared, "What's going on!"

"We bumped into something. Underwater, right in the bow!" A sailor quickly came running to report the service, but then there was a shout of panic from the front.

"There's something underwater!"

"Oh my God! it's a living thing!

"Ahh

The shouting is incessant, this time. There was a terrible sound of wood shattering from the hull! With a violent shaking one after another, an officer from under the cabin ran up covered in oil. "My lord, our cabin is flooded!" The drain tank is all finished......!

"Send someone to drain!bastard!!" The captain quickly scolded: "Drain the water, let your people drain, plug the loophole for me! The leaky cabin is immediately closed!" Hell you're on the first day on the boat!! Do you still want me to teach you these things?"

He hasn't finished scolding yet. Suddenly, I felt the vibration under my feet stop abruptly, and there was a brief silence, as if with a hint of a dangerously strange aura.

But this calm lasted for a few breaths, very quickly. In the midst of the captain's shouting and scolding. The hull of the ship tilted abruptly to the right!!

"What's going on!what's going on!!"

People shouted in panic, but the big boat. But it's still slowly like being pushed up by something underwater!

The hull is heavily tilted. The bottom of the boat on the right side is almost completely out of the water. The entire bottom of the boat on the right side was high above the water! And the deck was so heavily tilted that many of the people did not have time to grasp anything, and soon slipped and fell to the other side, and the sound of plopping was incessant. Quite a few sailors fell into the water with exclamations.

The captain clung to the rudder shelf, and was about to say something, when at last, several huge black shadows appeared. From the right side of the hull. The yīn shadow grew higher and higher, and finally showed its full face in front of the panicked people on the boat!

The captain felt himself covered in a yīn shadow underneath. He looked to the right side in surprise, and subconsciously whispered:

"Oh God!

Those were his last words.

Rumble!!!

Finally, this sea soul-class ship. It was overturned by the whole congyou, the hull of the ship overturned, and countless people fell into the water. The big ship was flipped upside down!

Above the surface of the river, several behemoths that rise seven or eight meters above the water. Open the mouth of fear. Let out a terrifying roar!!

On the river, it's messy!

Du Wei felt like he was asleep. Slept very deeply.

It can be said that since becoming a magician himself. It seemed like it had been a long time since he had slept so soundly.

Magicians can use meditation to restore jīng divine powers. This means that most magicians spend most of their lives without sleeping, spending nearly a third of their lives in bed. For magicians. It's a waste!

Du Weidi's strength increased rapidly, and as his strength increased, he slept less and less. Most of the time, he meditates instead of sleeping, meditating for three hours a day. Not only can you exercise your own jīng divine power. It also saves time to sleep and do other things.

But this time. Such a sweet sleeping feeling. Even in the unconscious state of the dream, Du Wei still felt a sense of comfort that he had not felt in a long time.

What he didn't know was. own body. Also in his sleep, little by little. Change is happening.

"Sleep. Brat. Sleep ......."

Chris chuckled. Stand in front of Du Wei. Du Wei was as quiet as a baby.

There was still blood on Chris's fingertips, and Du Wei's chest was on the left side of his chest. It's a huge opening!

The exposed part, a crimson heart. In the slow. Jumping and beating......

Bang bang! bang bang! bang bang......

Chris took a deep breath. Then he spit it out slowly.

In his mouth. A faint trace of white gas erupted, and soon it swirled around Du Weidi's body. The gas then turned into a cloud of water. Enveloped Du Weidi's body in it.

And then. Chris reached out and gently poked the skeletal claw into Dewey's chest.

His fingertips. It's already pinched on top of that beating heart!

Bang bang! bang bang......
