Chapter 189: Spanish Letters

The battle on the sea continues, but things don't go as smoothly as Glenn had imagined.

When the fleets of both sides approached to about three or four hundred meters, it was the marauders' side that took the lead in attacking.

This surprised Glenn, knowing that at such a long distance, or fighting on a bumpy sea, even for a professional soldier, the hit rate of bullets was basically only a matter of luck.

However, the marauders on the other side were not fools, they were not stupid enough to attack them with rather outdated civilian-grade firearms, but instead rolled out a number of iron bed crossbows that they had found out of nowhere, and very insidiously strapped ignited cluster bombs to the heads of the crossbow arrows.

Without giving Glenn much time to think, in a split second, dozens of flaming crossbow arrows were shot out of the dozen or so dilapidated sail boats, although the accuracy was not very good, but there were still more than a dozen crossbow arrows that hit the ships of the human fleet.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

The fire flashed, the explosions were everywhere, these marauders were obviously some terrible guys, the power of the explosives they tied to the crossbow arrows was quite amazing, even if the ships of the human fleet were all metal structures, there were still one or two small boats, which were blown out of huge holes by the explosives, and seven or eight soldiers were injured to varying degrees in the explosion.

Glenn frowned, he didn't expect that his side was attacked first, but after the explosion, the soldiers of the People's Union were not to be outdone, and immediately took out many rocket launchers and fired cannonballs at the wooden sailboats of the marauders.

Modern heavy weapons are not comparable to the bed crossbows of hundreds of years ago, and wooden sailing ships are not comparable to hard metal ships.

The rocket shell, with a string of sparks, hit the marauders' sailboats at breakneck speed.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

An even more violent explosion was remembered, blasting their sailboat into a series of holes and cracks, and several ragged marauders were directly blown to pieces, while more marauders shrouded in flames were ignited and turned into torches.

However, when the two sides got closer, Glenn realized that there were more marauders on the dozen or so broken sailboats on the opposite side than expected.

Moreover, unlike the tall and mighty soldiers of the People's Federation, the marauders on the sailing ships were not only men, women, and children, but most of them were yellow-faced and thin, and they could not be called warriors at all.

And what surprised Glenn even more was that in the face of this battle of disparity in strength, these marauders were also different from ordinary marauders, even if the rockets exploded around them, everyone's faces still showed a kind of fanatical emotion, numb fanaticism, determined fanaticism, as if they were completely ignorant of fear, not afraid of injury, not afraid of death.

It's like being controlled by power, just a bunch of cannon fodder that can be sacrificed at any time.

The battle continued, with casualties on both sides, and just as the fleets of both sides were getting closer, some unusually tall strange men suddenly emerged from the bottom of the marauders' galleons.

Each of these weirdos is close to three meters tall, and the muscles of their whole bodies are inflated, as if they are muscle monsters in some comics, twisted and terrifying, and even their facial features are all squeezed into the middle of their faces by muscles, looking extremely ugly.

And the reason why these muscular monsters were brought to the sailboat by the marauders was obviously not a decoration.

One by one, the ignited explosives bags were handed over to the strange people by the marauders, and after the strange people got the explosives bags, they immediately puffed up their muscles all over their bodies, waved their huge arms, and threw those more than ten kilograms of explosives bags like lead balls to the vicinity of the human fleet, spanning a distance of several hundred meters, just like a personal meat trebuchet.

Boom, boom, boom!

There were even more intense fires and explosions, and such bomb attacks caused a lot of losses to the soldiers of the Human Union, many of whom were affected by the explosion, and even the splints of some ships were blown up by bomb packs, leaving huge craters.

And such a fierce attack was not over, and soon a soldier reported to Glenn that the marauders on the sailboat who were attacked by them were not dead, except for those unlucky ones who were blown to pieces by rockets, the other marauders were still able to drag their broken bodies and stand up and attack each other even after their bodies were scorched, just like undead monsters.

Hearing these news, Glenn frowned, and was very surprised in his heart, but he didn't expect that what he thought was just an ordinary extermination of marauders ended up encountering such a group of strange enemies.

However, as the battle progressed, while the soldiers of the Human Union suffered some losses, the situation on the Marauders' side was even worse.

After all, wooden sailing ships are only fragile carriers, and in the face of the continuous bombardment of rocket artillery, several sailing ships were soon directly ignited, and a few were directly blown apart by violent explosions, turning into wreckage on the ocean.

The marauders on the ships fell into the sea like dumplings, and they disappeared, but even then did not hear any of the marauders' cries for mercy.

And just as the scales of victory that the soldiers thought were tilting toward the side of the human fleet, a loud noise suddenly sounded from the horn on the largest galleon, which was protected in the middle by many sailboats, on the marauders' side.

Jabber! Whoa!

Unknown language.

The sound of the horn was loud enough that the soldiers on both sides could hear it clearly, it was a language that humans could not distinguish, as if it were the sound of various insects in the rainforest mixed together.

The soldiers of the People's Union did not react when they heard these voices, and the expressions on the faces of the soldiers on the Marauder's side became even more hideous and fanatical when they heard this voice.

Especially those marauders who had been hurt to varying degrees, when the sound from the horn reached their ears, their bodies trembled with the sound, and then in the surprised eyes of everyone, their heads and some limbs exploded directly outward like flesh bombs.

And in the sprayed flesh, in the places where it was exploded, a strange creature emerged that seemed to be a fusion of tentacles and bugs.

Hideous, bloody, terrifying.

It seemed to be a strange tentacle covered with barbs, and like a giant insect that twisted and danced, and at the tip of these strange creatures were huge mouths full of sharp teeth.

After mutating into such monsters, the marauders became even more frenzied, writhing their limbs, waving their tentacles as they endured the bullets, and finally jumped straight from the deck into the sea.

And this kind of change also frightened everyone on the side of the Human Federation, the appearance of those monsters was too hideous, even more terrifying than the mutated zombies they had seen.

However, as mentioned before, the survivors who have survived after the end of the world have seen too many kinds of terrifying monsters, and although there is still some fear of the unknown in their hearts, the soldiers quickly cheered up and took up arms to continue fighting.

As the two sides got closer and closer, the soldiers' bullets could hit the marauders on the sailboat more accurately, but in the strange murmur of the horn, more and more wounded marauders, after being attacked by many bullets, exploded and mutated, and those strange bug monsters grew from all parts of the body.

Glenn had been observing the battle between the two sides, and when he saw that the mutated bugs and monsters were bouncing into the sea, he instinctively thought that things couldn't be this simple.

And under his telescope, those predators who turned into insects did not rise to the surface after entering the water, but sank directly to the bottom of the sea as if because of their own weight, and they could not see their traces at all.

However, it didn't take long for the insects and monsters under the surface of the water to sway in the water at a very fast speed like sea snakes, and they swung their bodies, and in just a few minutes, they swam a distance of several hundred meters from the location of the marauders to the place where the human alliance fleet was.

And when they approached the ship of the Human Union, these strange monsters immediately covered the surface of the ship with tentacle-like limbs, and then, these strange limbs changed their climbing positions, as if they had suction cups, dragging their bodies, climbing up at a very fast speed, and even climbed from the surface of the sea to the deck without relying on any tools.

The soldiers apparently did not anticipate such a situation, and after a brief moment of confusion, they immediately brisked themselves in the face of the enemies who had climbed up from the sea, and began to engage the monsters.

For a while, the battlefield became very chaotic, some soldiers were still attacking the marauders on the sailboat from a distance, shooting at them, some soldiers were constantly changing the ammunition of the rocket launcher, trying to destroy the sailboat on the opposite side with explosions, and more and more soldiers needed to be on guard, those bug monsters that climbed up from the sea.

However, these marauders also obviously underestimated the strength of the soldiers of the People's Alliance, and if they faced amateur soldiers from other organizations, perhaps such a chaotic battle would take the opponent by surprise and completely destroy the enemy's morale, thus achieving victory.

But they are facing a united human community that has long practiced a policy of elite soldiers, and every soldier here is an excellent professional soldier who has graduated from a formal military academy and has been trained for more than three years.

In less than a few minutes, under the command of Glenn and his lieutenants, the soldiers of the People's Union quickly organized a new battle plan and began to fight against different enemies in an orderly manner.

And those strange giants who are three meters tall and use explosions to create chaos have also been blown out in the head by the sharpshooters of the Stinger squad on the fleet with anti-materiel sniper rifles.

Although these strange giants did not die even if their heads were blown out, they had no eyes, and the explosives they projected could no longer accurately hit the ships of the Human Union.

And under Glenn's orders, the fleet of the Human Union also began to speed up the voyage, widening the distance, and shaking off the strange bugs that tried to climb up from the sea.

Instead of engaging these Marauders at close range, they begin to consume time with them, using ranged weapons such as sniper rifles to kill Marauders on sailboats.

The gap in equipment between the two sides allowed the soldiers of the alliance to slowly widen the gap in the combat effectiveness of the marauders, and the abundant ammunition supply blew the bodies of these poor ghosts into disgusting weird bugs, while the backward weapons of the other side were difficult to cause casualties to them at a long distance.

As the battle went on, more and more marauders were killed by them, and the sailing ships that were ignited and damaged sank to the bottom of the sea as time passed.

During this period, the marauders' ships also saw bad things and tried to escape, but in the face of such an enemy, how could the People's Federation give them a chance to escape.

The difference in speed between the two sides was something that the wooden sailing ship could not make up for in any case.

As soon as the marauders tried to escape, Glenn would command the fleet to catch up and deliver a fierce blow, inflicting casualties on them and forcing them to stop and resist.

And as time passed, the two sides pursued a distance of hundreds of nautical miles, and the sailing ship on the opposite side was finally strangled by the soldiers of the People's Union, and only the largest sailboat remained.

And the marauders on the other ships, whether they were transformed into weird bugs or weird giants with huge physiques, were all sunk into the sea in the pursuit, along with the sunken ships.

And the soldiers of the People's Union, seeing that the enemy only had the last sailboat left, did not have any luck mentality, and used sniper rifles one after another, killing all the enemies on the deck, before controlling their fleet and sticking up.

In the face of the sailing ship that did not slow down at this time, the seven or eight huge steamers of the People's Union directly used their hulls to cross the sea and intercept the sailboats.

Then, hundreds of soldiers of the United Nations boarded the sailboat from different directions, armed with various weapons.

And even at this time, the enemy had no intention of being captured, and after the soldiers of the People's Union got on the boat, several strange giants with a height of three meters rushed up from the position of the bottom warehouse, and behind them, hundreds of predators whose heads had turned into various terrifying and hideous bug monsters.

However, their resistance was only in vain after all, although it also caused a little casualties to the soldiers of the Human Federation, but in the face of the elite team led by the members of the Stinger Squad, whether it was the mutated giants or those mutated bug monsters, in the face of submachine guns, shotguns, and flamethrowers, rocket launchers and other different weapons attacks, these monsters were blown to pieces in the fierce artillery fire.

And when Glenn and the soldiers rushed into the bottom compartment of the sailboat, what they saw was a strange man who had committed suicide in a very luxuriously decorated room.

The man was dressed in the elaborate clothes of a medieval aristocracy, with a thick foundation and lipstick on his face, and his middle-aged, ugly chubby face was decorated as pale as if it were a dead man.

He held a golden revolver in his hand, the muzzle of which was stuffed into his mouth, and a bullet shattered the back of his head.

Faced with such a corpse, Glenn and the others couldn't get much information from this dead man.

Fortunately, this sailboat may have been the man's long-term car, and this very luxuriously decorated room not only has all kinds of documents, but also a desk like this guy's official business, and some letters are also stored in the drawer of the desk.

Glenn opened it and found that he didn't recognize the text in the letter, but he was vaguely recognizable, and the text on the letter seemed to be in Spanish.

It was not clear why Spanish letters from across the ocean were here, but as a commander, it was not something he had to think about.

All he needs to do is gather as much information as he can, and finally hand it over to His Excellency the President.

After ordering all the contents of this room, including the man's body, to be moved to their own fleet, Glenn and the others took the huge ship and set out on their return journey.
