Chapter 252: Tyrant on the Great Ship
However, even if he did not immediately absorb these surrendered puppet troops, Luo Chenguang relied on the reinforcements from the rear one after another, and he still quickly broke through the demon's defense line and successfully killed a harbor city, at this time, in order to ensure the safety of the major cities occupied along the road, Luo Chenguang had already scattered nearly two million militiamen, after all, most of those militia troops can only use cold weapons now, and the newly produced magic energy weapons are mainly supplied to the regular combat troops on the front line, so in order to ensure safety, Luo Chenguang could only increase the number of soldiers.
After completely occupying the harbor city, Luo Chenguang immediately began to mobilize manpower to clean it up, especially the various facilities in the harbor, which must be restored as soon as possible.
A week later, the harbor was barely back in operation.
The first batch of twenty warships and fifty large transports that had been converted in the rear were also transported directly to the harbor through the space gate.
The power systems of these warships and transports have been modified to use new power systems that can use magic energy, and the weapons on them have been replaced with various magic cannons and magic machine guns.
The two brothers, Zhang Shun and Zhang Heng, were ordered to lead this fleet that arrived first to clear the route of the demonic naval forces, so that the future army could march more smoothly.
Because there are not many warships in the fleet, and there are only three battleships, Zhang Heng and Zhang Shun brothers were a little uncertain at first! But as they encountered the first demon naval fleet, they were completely relieved.
The reason is very simple, many of those demonic warships are still wooden, so it seems that the demons have not invested much resources in the navy at all, otherwise they would at least have to build some ironclad ships!
What Zhang Shun didn't know was that it wasn't that the demons didn't want to build an ironclad ship, but because without a suitable power system, even if the ironclad ship was built, it would be difficult to bring these heavy ironclad ships without being able to use the Deep Blue Star Technology Creation, and it would be better to use wooden battleships when most of the warships still used sails as power.
The dragon demon who invaded the Water Margin world with the Digital Continent before actually accepted the task of developing a scientific and technological creation that can adapt to this new environment, and the dragon demon can be regarded as worthy of its mission, and has already researched some relatively rudimentary magic weapons.
However, the dragon demon also has his own careful thoughts, ready to wait until this magic technology is thoroughly studied and perfected, and after iterating a few times, he will share some more basic technologies, and then he will become an upstart among the demons in an instant with the strongest magic technology, and will be valued by all forces, and those demon lords who want to obtain more advanced magic technology will have to curry favor with him, so he can take the opportunity to blackmail and rapidly expand his power.
It's a pity that before he could research and perfect the first generation of magic weapons, the army of the Blue Dragon Empire was killed, so that he could only take out these magic weapons that were not well researched to fight against the army of the Blue Dragon Empire. But even so, he was unable to stop the soldiers of the Blue Dragon Empire's army, and even his own life was lost, and he had no chance to bring back the research results of those magic energy technologies to other demons. This also leads to the fact that none of the demons in the real world have mastered magic technology, and all of them still use all kinds of cold weapons to fight, and this navy is naturally no exception, using wooden warships, and the most powerful long-range weapons on it are just some ballistas and catapults.
Zhang Shun and the others looked at those demon warships that could be called shabby, and mercilessly ordered the battleships to fire, and suddenly one after another demonic beams bombarded the wooden battleships of those demons, quickly smashing these battleships, except for a few flying demons who escaped in time, all the other demons sank into the sea along with the broken battleships.
And those flying demons who escaped by luck were also quickly besieged by all kinds of flying Digimon and phantom beasts that took off from the transport ships in Zhang Shun's fleet, and there were even a small number of flying war beasts such as flying dragons and pegasus that were contributed by those pseudo-armies.
Those demons were outnumbered and quickly annihilated, Zhang Shun and they began to move forward after cleaning the battlefield, and all the demon fleets encountered on the road were all defeated, and not a single battleship was left for those demons.
It only took a month for Zhang Shun and the others to basically clean up the original coastline of the Xinghan Empire, during which they sank more than 200 enemy ships and eliminated more than 80,000 enemy troops.
But just when Zhang Shun and the others thought they would be able to return smoothly soon, they encountered an unidentified cruise ship when they passed by Hainan Island, this cruise ship was very large, with a length of more than five hundred meters, which was larger than the battleships of the Qinglong Empire, with several floors of rooms on the hull, a large open space at the stern, and even a swimming pool.
Since this cruise ship did not fly the flag of the demon side, Zhang Shun did not fire immediately after they found out, but in order to prevent the demon from deliberately not hoisting the flag and trying to fool the pass, Zhang Heng immediately sent a flying team to investigate it.
In Zhang Shun's observation, the cruise ship's movements were also very strange, and when they first discovered their own fleet, they seemed to want to escape, but they quickly stopped, and they couldn't figure out what the people above thought.
Soon, the flying team came to the sky above the cruise ship, and unexpectedly found that there were two people fighting on it, at first they thought that there were demons on it, so the human survivors on the cruise ship were fighting against it! However, as they lowered their flight, they found that both sides of the battle seemed to be human, at least they didn't see a demon on board.
And as they lowered their flight altitude, they were spotted by the two warring sides on the cruise ship, and the humans on one side who had been forced back to the bow of the ship immediately shouted for help to them, while the other side was still attacking relentlessly, and under their pressure, the human survivors on the other side had retreated to the side of the ship, and if they took another step back, they would fall from the ship into the sea.
Faced with this situation, Ji Zhenguo, led by this flying team, decisively descended to the cruise ship with his soldiers, preparing to stop the fighting between the two sides first, and then ask the situation clearly and then ask the superiors how to deal with it.
However, seeing that they were about to land, many of the human survivors on the side who had completely gained the upper hand actually attacked them with bows and crossbows.
This immediately angered these battle-hardened soldiers, two of them immediately controlled their Wind Falcon War Pets to send out two tornadoes at the arrows shot below, blowing those arrows and crossbows away, and then the two soldiers opened their bows and arrows, and in less than ten seconds, they shot out more than twenty arrows in one breath, and the guys who had just fired arrows at them were all shot to the ground immediately, but fortunately, these soldiers still maintained their last sanity, The arrows were only shot at the arms and legs of those guys, and at the same time, the bow was deliberately not fully drawn, reducing the power of the arrows, otherwise those guys would have become corpses by this time.
In order to avoid causing more casualties, Ji Zhenguo hurriedly let the Fengge Dragon he was riding quickly land between the two people, and then let his mount release the dragon power on his body, which immediately suppressed the survivors on both sides One by one, their hands and feet were numb, and their hearts were panicked, and the cold sweat on many people's heads quickly wet their hair. In this case, the two sides naturally could not continue to fight, so they could only strike on the spot, and then quickly retreat, divided into two distinct sides.
Seeing that the two sides had finally stopped fighting, Ji Zhenguo stood on the back of his war pet and asked these human survivors condescendingly: "Obviously they are all human beings, why do they still fight each other in this apocalypse, don't you think that human beings have not died enough?" ”
Facing Ji Zhenguo's questioning, some of them immediately lowered their heads in shame, but more of them looked unmoved.
Among the human survivors who had the upper hand in the battle before, there was a young man with skull tattoos on both arms, and he replied with a disapprehensive expression: "What kind of thing are you! What are you responsible for our own internal affairs? ”
Seeing that this guy was so uncooperative with his question, Ji Zhenguo immediately instructed a female team member who had also landed not far away: "Erniang, teach him a lesson, let him know how to speak well!" ”
After the female team member received the order, she immediately took out a throwing knife and aimed it at the arrogant young man.
Seeing this, the young man immediately blocked a steel knife in front of him, but in the next second, with a flash of silver light, the steel knife in his hand was shot into two pieces by the seemingly small flying knife, and then the flying knife slashed through his right cheek unabated, leaving a long bloody cut.
"This time it's to teach you a lesson, and the next time you dare to speak wildly in front of our captain, I'll shoot you in the head!"
Listening to Erniang's words full of threats, the young man didn't dare to speak up anymore, but instead covered the wound on his face and tried to hide in the pile, obviously he was also a guy who bullied the soft and was afraid of the hard.
And as this young man who had spoken badly before got a lesson, the others didn't dare to speak casually anymore, for fear that these powerful guys would give them a flying knife if they were in a bad mood.
In the end, among the human survivors who fell into the disadvantage, a girl who dyed the ends of her hair burgundy stood up and replied to Ji Zhenguo: "There is a guy named Lin Erhu on our cruise ship, because that guy has good skills, when those otherworldly monsters just came, he once fought and killed two orc warriors, and led them to successfully withdraw to this cruise ship, so we elected him to be the leader later, and wanted him to lead us to survive in this troubled world..."
With the girl's narration, Ji Zhenguo gradually understood what was going on on this cruise ship, and this is also the story of a dragon slayer who eventually turned into a dragon. Lin Erhu originally killed two orc warriors with his own hands because it was the end of the world, escorted many survivors to the cruise ship, and then went overseas, so that thousands of human survivors obtained a relatively safe shelter, Lin Erhu was also regarded as a hero by everyone, and was elected to become the leader of this survivor group. Lin Erhu also enjoyed all kinds of wonderful feelings brought by power, plus he had been mixed with the underworld for a period of time before, so gradually he quickly transformed from a hero to a dictator, and all the materials collected by everyone were forcibly collected by him, and then distributed according to his mood, those who would please him, and those who were more good at sycophants were in high positions and received a lot of rewards, and there were also those outlaws who were more loyal to Lin Erhu and dared to fight and kill, and the treatment was also good. As for the others, the treatment is much worse, most of them are starved and malnourished, and if they protest, they will be beaten to death by Lin Erhu's men, and the most unfortunate thing is that some of them are young and beautiful women, and from time to time they are called by Lin Erhu to play and abuse, and some women who are unbearable to be humiliated can only choose to commit suicide in the end.
And today, Lin Erhu felt that the supplies on the cruise ship were a little short again, so he was ready to go ashore to collect some materials from the ruins of some coastal cities that he had not been to before.
As a result, the ship only met the fleet of the Blue Dragon Empire halfway through, and Lin Erhu, who had actually become the emperor of the soil on this cruise ship, naturally did not want to contact with the survivor organizations of other powerful forces, he was afraid that the other party would annex his own forces, so that he would not be able to continue to be the emperor of the soil comfortably in the future.
So he immediately ordered the cruise ship to return to the sea, but unfortunately the order had just been delivered, and the survivors on board, who had long been fed up with its oppression and bullying, had already launched a riot, destroying the mainsail on the cruise ship, making the giant ship too weak to move on.
It's a pity that the survivors of the riot were too poorly equipped, and they didn't even have a few metal weapons in their hands, and many of them just took a wooden stick, and faced the suppression of the 'Guards' under Lin Erhu who were all equipped with metal weapons and even had more than 20 pairs of bows and crossbows.
If it weren't for Ji Zhenguo and them arriving in time to stop the fight, I am afraid that these survivors who chose to riot would have been killed by the 'Guards' under Lin Erhu.
After figuring out what happened on the cruise ship, Ji Zhenguo also immediately reported it to his superiors and waited for the decision of his superiors.
After Zhang Heng and Zhang Shun brothers heard about this, they were very angry about what Lin Erhu had done, and Zhang Heng soon led three hundred elite hoplites to land on the cruise ship in a small landing craft, preparing to capture Lin Erhu in person.
