Looking at the sky densely packed with gargoyles like dark clouds, everyone on the ship couldn't help but feel their scalps tingle.

I was surprised that there were too many monsters on a small island.

Although they now have more than a dozen battleships, including one aircraft carrier, four battleships.

The whole fleet is equipped with more than 1,000 artillery pieces, strong firepower, and sufficient ammunition, and it is no problem to destroy the enemy's entire fleet of hundreds in size in a short time.

And it can also guarantee that there are zero casualties.

But if you want to deal with the tens of thousands, the gargoyles flying in the sky are still a little insufficient.

Those gargoyles are small in size, but they are extremely numerous, and they are very agile in the air, and they look very similar to bats from a distance, so humans call them manta ghosts.

And with so many gargoyles in the first wave, who knows how many more are on the island?

What if this wave is not finished, and suddenly a group of people break out?

At this time, I saw that those gargoyles had already entered the range of the battleship's cannons.

"Grenades, a third of the leads. ”

"The shooting angle is twenty, and the range is three thousand~!"

"Fire, fire~!"

Under the hasty order, the battleships chose different shells and targets, and the cannons opened fire one after another.

'Boom, boom, boom, boom......'

Hundreds of guns roared at the same time, and the rumbling of cannons rang out incessantly, and puffs of white smoke rose from the side of the ship, which was then dispersed by the sea breeze.

As soon as the cannon rang out, clumps of fire exploded among the gargoyles.

The gargoyles in mid-air were so dense that they looked like swarms of bats flying out of their holes at dusk. The cannonballs fired from the battleship crashed into the gargoyles. Just by impact. Tear the gargoyle to pieces, and then explode in the middle of the gargoyle.

Clusters of orange-red fireballs flashed in a black torrent of gargoyles, and the flesh and blood of the gargoyles flew sideways and fell from the sky like rain.

Looking down from the sky, you can see that the dark cloud seems to have been dug into dozens of holes, but the holes are soon refilled by gargoyles rushing up from behind.

Their number has not decreased in the slightest~!!

At the same time, they also noticed the ferocity of the fire on this side, and they all screamed loudly. Flap your wide wings vigorously and fly high into the sky.

At this time, the weakness of the human warship was exposed. Although they have strong firepower and an extremely long range, like all naval guns, it is not air defense~!

The maximum range of naval guns is limited, and it is impossible to attack monsters flying overhead.

The gargoyles also seemed to have discovered this weakness of the human race, and they flew high and prepared to dive down from above.

There are not many people on the human fleet, and the reason why it is powerful is because it is equipped with cannons.

And because of the change in the tactics of naval warfare. The tactics of the old hand-to-hand jumping were no longer practical, and there was no need to keep a large number of hand-to-hand sailors on board.

Battleships, except for artillery and sailors. Even the Marines were transferred to the USS Enterprise.

And now the enemy avoided the range of cannon fire and swooped down on the battleship, seizing the battleship's weakness like the sharp arrow that pierced Achilles' heel.

Once they land on the ship, they can easily rely on their numerical superiority to drown all humans.

The War Fortress on the Enterprise was originally a weapon for air supremacy, but they fought against a hostile war fortress, and the gargoyle was not taken into account.

On the battleship, everyone turned their heads to look at Lorraine, hoping that this master could lead them to create another miracle, after all, dealing with the undead high priest and the lich is this lord's specialty.

Lorraine looked at the dense gargoyles, and was also stunned for a while, and then found that everyone was looking at him, and immediately shouted angrily: "What are you still doing in a daze? Why don't you run away? Are you still waiting for them to serve us with snacks? Hurry, hurry, hurry up and ......."

In Lorraine's urging, everyone suddenly woke up from a dream, and it turned out that this master had no recruitment.

The officers and men on board the ship moved one after another, shouting loudly and issuing one order after another.

"Blow the trumpet, inform the rest of the ships, retreat, retreat quickly. ”

"The fortresses of war all take off, take off, and not one of them remains on the deck, all take to the air to cover. ”

"Turn the rudder, turn the rudder. The right rudder is full, and the course is zero ninety. ”

"Engine room, full acceleration. ”

"The Marines are all on the move. ”

"Magician, call the magician. ”

"Machine gun, get the bolt on deck......"

"Replenish the shells for the 40 cannon. ”

“......”

In the shortest possible time, the orders were passed down one by one.

The warships suddenly got busy. It was not unreasonable to choose them for the forward fleet, the sailors on board had been trained thousands of times and knew where to go and what to do in the event of a crisis. A qiē urgent but orderly.

The warships sounded their air whistles or horns, and then their huge bodies writhed and began to slowly turn around like clumsy sea beasts.

The only trouble is the battleships of the Elven Kingdom, the Royal Ark is large in tonnage and is not equipped with steam power. Rather, it is powered by pure sails.

But at this time, these elven navies are embodying their extremely high military qualities.

After receiving the order, countless elven sailors immediately climbed the mast and adjusted the sails in just one minute.

The three masts in the front and rear, with more than a dozen sails filled with the sea breeze, and the speed at which the ship turned around was not at all slower than that of a steamboat, and even a few times faster.

Seeing their swift movements, the lord was a little suspicious: did those puppies plan to escape in the first place?

It's too neat.

And because of the low speed of the Ark Royal, they also have a small radius to turn around. By the time the human warship turned around, it had already flown a long distance.

Lorraine didn't have to look to imagine the elven navy's mocking face at the moment.

However, the battleships built by Naian were not built, although the start was a little slower. But industrial civilization generates much more power than sails.

Propelled by a "rumbling" steam engine. The propeller stirs up the seawater. The white waves rushed to the surface, and in just three to five minutes, the elves' Royal Ark had already been caught up.

There were several cruisers of lighter tonnage that did not control their speed and even ran in front of the royal ark.

It was only at this point that the elven navy understood. It turned out that the human warships had been hidden along the way, and their maximum speed had not been revealed.

These cunning humans~!

In a fit of rage, everyone stood on the side of the ship, waving their fists. yelled at the pups.

Not to be outdone, the humans waved their fists and cursed loudly for the ugly way of the elves fleeing in panic.

Due to the heavy size of the battleship and the slow acceleration of the start, at this time those gargoyles were getting closer and closer......

People who are close can see their hideous faces with the naked eye.

By this time, the war fortress had risen into the air, and as they retreated, keeping their distance from the enemy, they opened fire on the black-pressed bat ghosts.

Boom Boom Boom Boom ......

The cannon rang out continuously, and flames exploded in the crowd of bat ghosts. And this time, the bat ghosts were on guard as if someone had reminded them. When they fly, the gap between them is huge.

Often one shot goes down, although the same blast of the bat ghosts is full of flesh and blood, but it can't hit a few.

By this time, the gargoyle vanguards had come to the sky above the mothership at the tail of the team.

They looked at the sailors rushing back and forth on the deck, and immediately folded their wings and swooped down with a scream.

At this time, the marines on the deck raised their guns one after another and opened fire on the enemy who pounced in the air.

And the machine guns in all corners also raised their muzzles high at this time, spitting out tongues of fire into the sky.

The forty-millimeter cannon threw shells into the sky as fast as it could.

Form a dense network of fire above the battleship's head to intercept the gargoyles that are falling down.

Standing on a high place, the magicians did not spare their mana at all, waved the staff in their hands, and threw chain lightning into the air to deal with dense enemies, this trick is the most useful.

Not to be outdone, the cardinals sang prayers and held their staffs, and then they saw white light burst out from the end of the staff, shining towards the bat ghosts.

Wherever the light went, gray flames erupted from the batghosts that had been shot, emitting a piercing wail, while the other batghosts scrambled to dodge.

From a distance, the bat ghost looks like a giant black arrow, plunging straight into the deck of the Enterprise.

The entire deck was like an active volcano, spewing fiery flames and magma into the sky.

Immediately, the black arrows collided with the red flames, and countless red ...... burst into the air Uh, scarlet sparks.

The bat spirits exploded in the air, bright red blood, huge corpses, broken limbs...... It rained like raindrops from the sky.

Some soldiers couldn't dodge, and were immediately dodged with blood on their heads and faces, and even smashed by those stumps.

At the same time, the offensive of those bat ghosts suddenly slowed down.

The ship withstood the attack of the bat ghost in a multi-layered interception fire net composed of multi-arm cooperation.

At this moment, the steam boiler finally began to run at full capacity, and under the joint impetus of the four steam engines, the body of the Enterprise shook, and the speed immediately increased greatly, and it rushed forward.

Those bat ghosts who were originally hovering over the Enterprise suddenly lost their targets under them, and they couldn't help but be stunned.

Not far away, the battleship Victory plowed through the waves and plunged diagonally, and the portholes on the side of the ship were opened, revealing the raised gun muzzles within.

Because the bats swooped down, their height from the sea surface was greatly reduced, only a few tens of meters, and they had already entered the range of the battleship.

Immediately afterward, more than fifty cannons opened fire one after another, and in a huge roar, puffs of white smoke erupted from the side sides, almost enveloping the battleship.

Due to the short distance between the two sides, the cannons were all switched to anti-personnel shotguns that were specially used to sweep the deck and personnel.

The number of such shells is small, but it is extremely vicious.

Although the range of the shells is not far, at most it is a distance of 100 meters.

But a single shot shot of hundreds of finger-sized shotgun balls was spread over a radius of twenty square meters, and the power could pierce through multiple layers of wooden shipboards.

It's like a big broom. Easily sweep away a qiē creature in its path.

It only takes a few shots to kill all the people on a battleship.

When the cannon sounded. The sailors on the battleship saw a layer of small black dots like insects appear in the air. Fly towards the bat ghost on the other side......

In the next second. Looking at the bats again, the huge attack arrow seemed to have been wiped out by a huge eraser, and only the top half remained.

The lower part was gone, but countless black dots fell from the sky and fell into the sea, and the sea area, like a boiling pot, splashed countless white waves.

But then. Those bat ghosts reacted, flapping their huge and ugly black-red transparent flesh wings, climbing towards the sky, and continuing to chase towards the battleship.

At this time, the speed of all the warships had increased.

Even the Ark Royal of the Elven Navy reached a speed of eight to nine knots. Not to mention the human warship, which can run to a speed of ten to fifteen knots just by twisting its ass.

At this time, the machine guns arranged on the deck of the battleship kept firing, tracer shells crossed the sky, forming lines of fire, and the war fortress also kept firing to block it.

In order to catch up with the battleship. Those bat ghosts can only brave human artillery fire and flap their wings desperately. This can barely shorten the distance between the two sides.

Neither human nor elven warships need to be driven by manpower. All they had to do was run around on the deck, while the bats flew desperately with their wings.

Although at the beginning, it was not possible to see the gap in between, but the later the time, the more beneficial it will be for humanity. After all, the boat doesn't get tired, but the manta ghost does.

The two sides were in a stalemate for about an hour, and every time the bat ghosts desperately approached, they would be hit head-on by human firearms, but when they reacted and wanted to fight back, the humans would rely on their powerful steam power at this time and escape again.

Before you know it, the two sides are getting farther and farther away from the island. It is a distance of more than 10 kilometers.

At this moment, a sharp and piercing whistling sound came, and when the bat ghosts heard the sound, they immediately turned around, flapped their wings, and flew back in the direction of the island.

Seeing that large dark clouds gradually fade away, everyone on the battleship breathed a sigh of relief, and the marines who had been fighting for a long time looked at each other, only to see that everyone was a wolf, with blood stains on their heads, and some people still had some disgusting internal organs and stumps hanging on their bodies.

If it had been someone else, it might have been spit out a long time ago. But these puppies are used to seeing the killing array, and they have to joke with each other, or they just hide to the side, look at the sea in the distance, and smoke cigarettes silently.

On the bridge of the Enterprise, the officers looked at the island in the chart but were silent for a while.

This is the first time that humans have taken the initiative to retreat in battle~!

This island looks like a really tough bone, and it's not easy to fight~!!

xxxxxx

On the other side, the Lich Merlarence walked briskly through a tunnel.

Although his steps were extremely light, in the silence of the cave, there were strange echoes, as if there were ghosts whispering.

He walked for a while, then turned around, and then there was a light in front of him, and a blue sea appeared in front of him.

Although Mellarence has long been uninterested in landscapes and the like, every time he arrives here, he can't help but feel inexplicably in awe of the wonders of nature.

It is a cave located on a cliff. The cliff towered into the sky, as flat and smooth as a knife. But there are countless tunnels in the middle of the cliff that lead to the top of the cliff.

And there is a huge cave on the cliff that can look down on the entire sea.

Directly in front of the cave, a slender figure was holding his hands behind his back, lonely but proudly looking down at the sea.

When Melarence saw the man, he couldn't help but show a trace of admiration in his eyes, then bowed and said, "I've seen Lord Cameron." ”

The man glanced back at him faintly, it was none other than the High Priest's first disciple, Cameron.

Due to the high priest's serious injury, he is now in charge of the entire necromantic affairs.

Cameron said indifferently: "The bat ghosts are all back. ”

Mellarenston became agitated and said, "Yes, sir. Your Excellency, you're amazing. Just mobilized the bat ghost, and the wolf bèi, who had been driven by the human warship, fled dozens of miles away.

What a flying eagle god of war, it's nothing more than that. ”

Cameron listened to his sycophancy, although he was extremely useful, but he still looked calm, shook his head, and said indifferently: "It's a pity, it's a pity." Humans are too heavily defended and have too much firepower. Our mages can't take advantage of the opportunity to sneak up on them. ”

Melarence hurriedly said, "Your Excellency is wise. But these humans are also too cunning. ”

As he spoke, he glanced hatefully into the distance, and saw a few black spots on the sea, and wisps of black smoke floating above their heads.

After all this time, the black spots still did not disappear, and it was clear that the other party had resettled there.

Melarence couldn't help but wonder: they didn't attack either, and they didn't intend to leave, so what's the use of stopping there?

As if to see through Mellarence's doubts, Cameron looked at the fleet in the distance, smiled disdainfully, and said: "I have read a book of the Oriental Art of War, which says that it is as fast as the wind, as slow as a forest, as aggressive as fire, and as immobile as a mountain.

We're just here and we're standing still, can these humans play with a flower?"

When Mellarence heard this, he couldn't help but exclaim: "My lord, you have actually seen the art of war in the East. Is...... What a ......."

As a lich, his sycophant vocabulary is quite limited, and in the end, he can only find the right word, and can only say, "Really...... It's amazing~!"

Faintly, a low chuckle was heard not far away.

Melarence frowned slightly, then turned around, only to see that in the shadow of the cave, there was a dark human figure, which seemed to be a ghost......????
