"It has to be stopped. {We don't write novels, we're just web text porters-*

The combined fleet took action, but the main force was not the magic guide warship, but those other powered warships, including the old warships with a mixture of sails and machinery, and the combined fleet of the nations was sent out to carry out ocean-going operations.

Fortunately, although the development of the fleet has been relatively stagnant and has not changed much in recent years, Bethof's task is only to delay the formation of purgatory terrain.

"Commander, it's ready to go. The adjutant reported.

The ships of the Combined Fleet were arrayed, and under Beshof's orders, the shells rained down on the lava that was fighting with the sea, especially against the purgatory nodes that were constantly being generated.

Only by destroying these nodes can it be difficult for the source power that is being transmitted from Purgatory to converge, unable to change geography, and weakened in the conflict with the laws of the Besas plane.

One by one, the flowering bombs fell to the dark red earth, and some landed in the seawater, and the explosion stirred up a column of water.

Although the ships of various countries are relatively stagnant because there is not much development demand for shipping, there is still a lot of progress in shipborne weapons, at least the guns of these old hybrid ships have all been updated to explode flowering shells, which is mainly due to the fact that the artillery fire in land combat has also been updated, benefiting the shipborne artillery.

The artillery fire continued, and although it was impossible to shoot accurately at those purgatory nodes, the pouring of tens of thousands of guns from hundreds of warships formed a covering destruction.

The lava fields near the sea were exploded, the steam waves plowed over, and the purgatory nodes were destroyed before they could begin to form, so that the sea water could no longer evaporate, and further purgatory volcanoes were formed.

Even after the formed lava fields were ploughed by artillery fire, the sea water overflowed its original height and became part of the ocean again.

On the flagship, Bethoff did not use the dwarven lookout like his lieutenant, and with the strength of his legendary powerhouse, he could easily see the scene on the shore.

"Attention, there's a monster coming. Segmented firing. ”

Dense black dots surging from the interior to the seashore are the lowest level of the creatures of purgatory, the cowardly and the inferior, the latter being an upgraded version of the former.

These little monsters rushed to the beach, but they couldn't help the fleet, and they couldn't stop anything. Although the Bad Demons are stronger, and some have even evolved small wings, those wings can only support them to glide, and cannot cross the barrier of the sea to attack ships up to two kilometers away.

They wander on the shore like ants trapped in water. Be baptized by artillery fire.

The fleet's shooting at this time was divided into three parts, one of which was by the ship's mage who began to bless the gunners and sailors with various buff spells, Eagle Eye, and Brute Bull Power (on the surface, it is not helpful for shooting, but the actual increase in strength and endurance can make the gunners continue to shoot for more time, and the handling of shells is also more powerful), and the accuracy of the shelling is increased as much as possible, and this part of the artillery bombardment initiative is aimed at those purgatory nodes.

Use spell buffs to compensate for the reduction in cannon fire, still suppressing lava encroachment into the ocean.

The reason why the spell buff was not cast in the first place was because it was attacking dead objects at that time. The magic of mages is limited without the support of Arcane Skynet, and must be used only when the time is right.

The other two sections of artillery fire were bombarded at intervals one after the other, and the target was consciously aimed at the monsters that were coming.

A large number of cowardly demons and bad demons were swept into the air by the explosion of steam, and some monsters were directly in the center of the cannonball explosion, directly turning into stump flesh.

Soon, the artillery fire wiped out the large group of cowardly and bad demons who rushed in.

However, it didn't take long for new monsters to arrive from the interior, and they were not as easy to deal with as before.

This time, in addition to cowardly demons and bad demons, there are servant demons and messenger demons.

Although the strength of the servant demon is not as good as that of the demon, the pair of black wings on his back are not decorations. Although the altitude was limited and it was impossible to cross the ocean, it was possible to attack a warship several kilometers away.

The demon is stronger than the servant demon, but cannot fly. However, they have command talents, and the inferior demons and cowardly demons who followed them are more disciplined under the command of the demons than just now, but they are still useless, because across the ocean, the demons can at most respond correctly, and make a screaming sound to make the cowardly demons and the inferior demons retreat. Don't get shelled on the shore, and let the servants attack the fleet.

A large group of servant demons soared into the air and rushed towards the sea, their flight altitude was no more than two hundred meters, and there were so many that the momentum at a glance was quite large, like a dark cloud covering the top.

But before they could get closer, the fleet began to react.

After many years, after experiencing the impact of the High Elves on the fleet at the beginning, of course, there will be no improvement.

First of all, in terms of firearms, over the years, some people have imagined tying multiple barrels together to achieve simultaneous firing in pursuit of high lethality, although this idea turned out to be less than ideal, and the mechanical design similar to the machine gun was created by a dwarven craftsman and a Terran engineer in a joint effort.

It's just that there is magic and magic, and the development of pure machinery is inhibited in terms of both human and material resources, and it cannot develop as fast as the world from which Solomon came.

Just like the design of the machine gun, although the design is there, but the huge size and how to cool down are two extremely difficult problems to solve, compared to the magic of this world and the more powerful magic, the appearance of the machine gun seems a bit chicken.

So in the end, machine guns were still not popularized in the army, but were only suitable for placement in fortress-type fortifications, and there was another place for ships.

The reason for going on the ship is that the machine gun can be automatically and quickly fired, and if it is used against the air, it can make up for the lack of manpower on the ship.

Because according to the first battle of the harbor that year, the fleet could be attacked by the sea at the same time, the sea, and the air, and it was necessary to defend at the same time, and the manpower on the fleet was limited, so it was necessary to effectively defend and reduce the burden on the mage.

At this time, when a large group of servants pressed over like dark clouds, on the flight path of the servants and demons, there was immediately a fine power grid made of jumping lightning, and as soon as the servants collided with it, they immediately received a violent electric shock, either dead or injured, even if they did not die, but fell into the sea water, the purgatory creatures must not be used to it, and it was still a dead end.

This is a range attack spell that mobilizes one's own shipboard magic array on each magic guide warship behind it.

However, there are indeed too many servants, they die in front and continue later, and after the power grid cast by the magic guide battleship is exhausted, it will take a little time for the next cast, so the servant demons behind quickly pass through the interception of the power grid.

At this time, the mages who accompanied the ship also took action, and they also cast spells that they were good at, some were a large cloud of frozen breath, some were dancing with fire snakes, and some were similar to the power grid cast by the ship's magic circle just now, but the range was much smaller.

These different forms of spells intercept and kill the servants who come in, and continue to kill and injure them.

After these two rounds of killing, the servant demon was at least half gone.

The remaining half rushed closer, but artillery fire flew from the air, and the artillery fire that was specifically aimed at the air exploded in the middle of the way.

However, the power of this anti-air artillery fire is honestly not as good as the previous spell, although the artillery fire can explode in mid-air to form a range attack, but it is still a bit of a cannon to hit mosquitoes.

This round dealt much less damage to the remaining minions than the first two rounds, but after the anti-aircraft fire, the anti-aircraft machine guns that were brought onto the ship also began to be used, and the bullets were fired into the air at great speed, controlled by two marksmen.

The bullets tore through the skin and wings of the servants, and they fell one after another, but the effect was slightly better than the anti-air artillery fire just now.

If you want to say that the fly in the ointment is that the machine gun is dumb and the problem of cooling has not been solved well, not that it cannot be solved, for example, in the way of magic guidance, but the cost is unacceptable.

At this time, the remnants of the servants were only a dozen or so in the air, but they were still afraid of death to pounce on the people on the battleship who were killing and wounding them just now.

In the daily life of Purgatory, it is to kill each other, compete for resources, and kill and poke bring the possibility of evolution, so it is difficult for death to threaten the creatures of Purgatory, especially these middle and lower-level creatures of Purgatory, their own advancement is generated in a bloody battle with lower-level creatures or creatures of the same level.

At this time, the last layer of defense on the ship was also used, and the soldiers with guns quickly fired into the air, eliminating the last dozen servants in this wave.

The Infernal Creatures' counter-offensive against the fleet with a large number of servants failed, and only one soldier on the fleet was killed and several wounded.

The result was quite good, but Bethoff was not at all happy.

Because the goal of his mission this time is not to these low-level purgatory creatures, but to delay the reclamation of purgatory as much as possible.

It's not surprising to achieve the same results as just now, because before coming, the Poseidon Legion had done a certain amount of deductive operations on the demon brain, and it was impossible to rely on the usual level of training.

The difficulty is how long it can be stopped, although the fleet is well prepared, and there are supply ships behind, but this is at sea, there is always a time to run out, and the counterattacks of Purgatory will be repeated again and again.

A few more servant attacks like the one just now would have depleted the Combined Fleet's ammunition even more, while maintaining a high-intensity and intensive artillery bombardment on the shore and continuing to destroy those nodes.

The messengers on the shore saw that the servants who had come with them were quickly destroyed, and let out a roar of rage.

Soon, a large number of dark shadows came from the interior.

A large number of servants formed a new dark cloud and rushed towards the battleship on the sea, and a new round of attack and defense began. (To be continued.) )
