Chapter 1432: The Battle for the Island

Although this night battle was very lively, it lasted for a short time, and the battle was resolved in a dozen years. After carefully cleaning the battlefield, it was already past the early hours of the morning, and the island finally fell silent again.

After a night of noise, the Marines on the beachhead were all exhausted and fell asleep with their rifles in their arms.

Probably the explosion also frightened the undead people hiding in the jungle, and nothing unusual happened in the second half of the night.

The next day, when Lord Lorraine opened his eyes, he woke up from his sleep, stretched his waist, and then shook his head, and said secretly in his heart: the big ship is really more comfortable than the small boat.

I didn't sleep so peacefully on the Victory.

Lord Lorraine rubbed his eyes, looked at the sky outside the porthole in a daze, and found that the sky outside was still very dark, and a trace of ash leaked from the dim sky, as if it was still at the moment when dawn was approaching.

He couldn't help but wonder in his heart that after two years of military career, his biological clock was extremely accurate, and as long as no one disturbed him, he would wake up at dawn.

And now looking at the sky outside the cabin, it seems that it is only five or six o'clock.

"It's still early," Lorraine hesitated in her heart, wanting to continue to fall asleep, she could not sleep until two or three o'clock in the morning yesterday.

But then Jing woke up: something is wrong~!

As soon as he rolled over and sat up from the bed, he picked up the pocket watch on the table, and sure enough, it was already seven o'clock, and it was already dawn.

In other words, the lord has slept for fifteen minutes more.

"Why is it so dark?" Lord Lorraine muttered in his heart, he hurriedly put on his clothes, and then came to the outside of the cabin to take a look, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

I saw that the sky was gray, and the dark clouds gathered from all directions, which had completely covered the rising sun, and the sky in sight was completely covered with clouds.

There was also a faint mist on the surface of the sea, and the mist was actually a strange gray

It's as if some black Se dye has seeped into the usual mist, which is extremely weird.

This situation reminded him of the first time he met Edwood, the lich.

Lorraine couldn't help but sink in his heart: This is not a good omen~!

At this time, the sailors of the fleet and the soldiers on the island were all aware of this situation, and many sailors who had been adrift at sea for more than ten years still saw the black gray mist for the first time, and this kind of storm-like yin day, and couldn't help but panic for a while.

When the officers on board saw this, they immediately scolded them and reprimanded them sharply.

In the shortest possible time, they were stabilized again. Then he drove them and threw them all into combat readiness.

And the Jing spirits next to them were chaotic for a while, gathered on the side of the ship, looked at the sky and shouted loudly, which made the human officers and soldiers who were still a little flustered just now very disdainful, how old they were, and they were still chattering like a group of little girls.

The Jing Lings also seemed to realize this, and the officers unceremoniously punched and kicked the soldiers, and finally stabilized them.

The marines on the shore, on the orders of the officers, hid behind trenches and makeshift fortifications, set up machine guns facing the interior of the island, and unscrewed the back covers of the grenades.

All the warships were also ready, and they opened their gun doors one after another, aiming the muzzles of the black hole at the shore.

The steam boilers of the human battleships also began to ignite, and the chimneys spewed out billowing black smoke and made an "empty" sound like the roar of a monster.

And Jing Ling's Royal Ark is very covetous of human alchemy technology next to it, and it can sail quickly without raising its sails.

Then he cursed as he held the rope of the sail tightly in his hand. Just waiting for an order, he pulled up the sails and turned to a favorable combat position.

At this time, in just half an hour, the fog was getting thicker and thicker. Even the battleships in the distance remained with only vague outlines.

Gusts of cold wind blew from the mountains and forests deep on the island, and faintly a faint wail and moan could be heard in the wind.

A fishy and unpleasant smell spread through the fleet outside the harbor with the yin wind.

This qiē indicates that something abnormal is about to happen.

Veterans who have fought in the Vatino know from experience that undead creatures are about to appear.

The soldiers couldn't help but be nervous, the beachhead soldiers had the sea behind them, even if they wanted to retreat, they had no way back, and they would definitely fight to the death.

Immediately, I heard the hoarse shouts of the officers next to me.

"Brethren, do not panic. ”

"For the glory of the Empire. ”

"Look ahead. ”

"There's nothing to be afraid of the undead. Kill it with one shot. ”

"Whoever escapes from the battle will be killed~!"

"Having won this battle, I invite the brothers to drink good wine~!"

"We have six hundred artillery pieces behind us, and there is nothing to be afraid of. ”

"Hold on, reinforcements will come soon. ”

The voice was either encouraging, threatening, or tempting, but in a word, the soldiers were not allowed to take a step back, and the beachhead had to be held.

And the soldiers, hearing the voices of the officers, also fell silent. Because while the officers kept shouting, they also showed one thing - the officers did not run away, but fought side by side with themselves.

At this moment, the forest in the distance began to shake, as if some giant beast was rampage inside, and countless birds were frightened and flew up, letting out bursts of screams.

At the same time, a strange roar sounded in the forest, like a cry, like a wail.

The soldiers couldn't help but feel nervous again.

Although there was no enemy in sight, it was easy to tell from the scale of the shaking of the forest that there were many enemies.

The Marines clenched their rifles tightly, pressed them against their shoulders, and scanned the dense forest not far away through the crosshairs.

The muzzle of the machine gun shook from side to side, ready to fire at any moment.

Lorraine stood atop the mothership, raised her binoculars, and glanced at it slightly. I tried to find out what was in the forest, but I couldn't see anything because of the fog and the forest.

However, the lord only hesitated slightly, and then raised his chin slightly.

The herald next to him immediately waved the flag in his hand and roared angrily: "Take off, take off~!"

Before his words could be heard, a war fortress on the deck roared from the ground, flew into the air, swept over the fleet, and rushed in the direction of the shaking forest.

The war fortress weaved through the mist, and a wake could be seen in its wake.

Lorraine raised the telescope again and looked into the distance, and then saw the war fortress fly over the forest, and then dropped the bomb without hesitation.

I saw an orange fireworks blooming in the forest.

The flames of orange sin continued to rise, turning into a huge fireball in the sky, and the eyes of the piercing person were painful.

Then I heard a loud and low boom, and countless trees, earth and rocks flew into the sky with the explosion.

Immediately afterward, a visible shock wave emerged from the point of the explosion and then rapidly expanded.

In the blink of an eye, they came to the people who had crossed the ship, and the people could barely open their eyes like a violent wind, and at the same time, the battle flag on the high part of the ship was also suddenly raised, and there was a sound of 'boom, la, la, la, la,

Lorraine hurriedly raised the telescope again, only to see that there was billowing black smoke rising from the place of the explosion just now, and a large area of surrounding woods was blown away.

There seemed to be a flowing black river running towards it.

Lorraine couldn't help but sigh, and then said, "Order the battleship to come as close as possible, tell the brothers, and fight your nerves, this is a tough battle."

Mages and clerics are on guard and watch out for aerial targets. ”

Immediately the herald beside him puffed out his cheeks and blew the horn in his hand.

The sound of the horn pierced the entire surface of the sea and clearly reached the ears of the officers and men on the shore.

As soon as the sound of the trumpet fell, a trumpet was heard in the distance.

The sound of the horn was different from the loud and long sound of human beings, as if it came from some tattered horn, and it was a little hoarse and ugly, and it made people feel cold.

When the trumpet sounded, countless dark shadows appeared at the edge of the forest.

They ・・・・・・ well, to be precise, they were all ragged, their eyes were hollow, their movements were stiff, and they walked a little slowly.

From time to time, they could be heard roaring like beasts in their throats, swaying toward the Marines on the beachhead.

"The undead, the undead are coming up~!" someone couldn't help but shout in a low voice.

The voice was rapid and nervous, as if if if you didn't shout that, you would suffocate.

To ordinary flesh-and-blood soldiers, the undead are far more terrifying than humans.

Immediately, an officer shouted: "Be careful, don't shoot yet, wait until you get closer." Brothers, hold on, get closer, and hit ......"

"A bunch of bone sticks, nothing to be afraid of~!"

At this time, more and more undead appeared at the edge of the forest, and they gathered into a dense group, slowly walking towards the position that the humans had built on the beach.

Lorraine raised the telescope and did a little calculation, there were already thousands of people who appeared, and at this time, the trees in the forest were still shaking, and more undead were constantly passing through the forest and appearing in front of them, giving people a sense of endlessness.

Lorraine secretly said in his heart: "How many things are the undead hiding on this island?"

The forward of the undead creatures was only a hundred meters away from the position of the marines, and from the front to the clearing between the dense forests, it was already covered with all kinds of undead creatures at this moment, and the sight of it made people's scalps tingle.

At this time, the front sight of the rifle could already trap the head of the undead creature, and the officer jumped up from behind the cover, brandished his pistol, and shouted: "Fire, fire~!"

Immediately, the soldier next to him had already turned the handle of the Gatling machine gun, and flames erupted from the muzzle.

Suddenly, suddenly・・・・・・ the monotonous and mechanical sound of the machine gun sounded incessantly. Bullets rained down on undead creatures not far away.

I saw the undead on the opposite side fall down like weeds under the muzzle of the gun, and because of the powerful kinetic energy of the bullet, it hit the bodies of those undead, tearing many of them to pieces, blowing up their hands and feet, and cutting them in two, but ......

But for the undead, as long as they don't hit the vital point in the head, they won't die.

So they fell down, but they screamed and crawled slowly forward on the ground, moving little by little.

There seemed to be countless disgusting ants on the ground.

At the same time, more necromancers passed over them and appeared in the human eye.

The void that appeared under the machine gun sweep was instantly filled with more undead.

When the human soldiers saw this, they were all terrified, and if they rushed to them, no matter how fast their guns were, they would not work.

The soldiers desperately opened fire on the undead, crackling gunfire rang out under their dense firepower, and many of the undead were finally shot and killed, but more undead rushed up

At this time, the battleships in the sea also opened fire.

The sound of cannonfire like muffled thunder came, and one after another the cannonballs whistled out of the barrels, streaked across the sky, and finally landed in the dense ranks of the undead. Then it exploded.

'Boom, boom, boom・・・・・・, a violent explosion kept coming.

Orange fireballs rose up like fireworks, and at the same time, countless human fragments were scattered in all directions.

The pressure on the front-line soldiers was suddenly lightened.

But then I heard another hoarse horn in the distance.

The undead who had rushed out of the forest suddenly split into two groups, one continuing to rush towards the soldiers on the shore, while the other rushed straight into the sea from the flanks.

As they rushed into the sea, the water suddenly seemed to boil, and the water kept making a splash.

Through the clear water, you can see that the undead are walking on the bottom of the sea, like an undercurrent, rushing towards the battleship.

The battleships, however, continued to fire incessantly on the shore. Choking white smoke billowed from the deck.

Due to the incessant shelling, the temperature rose extremely quickly in the small space of the cabin, and the gunners were all tired and sweaty, and many had to strip off their shirts and work shirtless.

By this time, more and more necromancers had poured into the sea towards the battleship. The striker had already reached a distance of less than two hundred meters from the battleship.

Above the mothership in the rear, the war fortresses have taken off one after another.

They set up bombs of all kinds and galloped forward.

Two war bastions came to the top of the undead in the sea, circled twice, and then dropped bombs on the most crowded places.

The two fell into the water, one after the other, and exploded.

Because of the use of water, the effectiveness of the bomb explosion is much weaker than that of land, but because of the action of water, the shock wave generated is much stronger than that of land.

The shock wave generated by the depth charge under the water can tear through the steel, not to mention the necromancy, which is torn to pieces in an instant, as if it had been stirred by a giant blender, and then slowly surfaced.

There was a layer of broken corpses floating on the surface of the sea, and from a distance, it looked like a dense patch of aquatic plants.

The rest of the war fortress flew towards the forest in the distance.

More than 20 war fortresses lined up in a row and came to the sky above the forest, and then dropped the heavy bombs mounted one by one.

A series of huge fireballs rose into the air, forming a wide wall of fire in the middle of the dense forest, and thick smoke billowed into the sky.

The attack of the necromantic on the ground suddenly slowed down. But then, once again, they took a step forward, rushing towards the human defenses.

Lorraine couldn't help but let out a long sigh: And if in the past, if the plains had been fighting, humans could have organized a powerful order of knights, bravely rushed into the enemy line, and slain the lich. Without the command of the lich, the undead are all in a mess.

And now, fighting in such a densely forested terrain is simply a disaster for humanity. Undead lichs can hide in the middle of the forest and calmly command their troops. No trace of them was found.

At this time, a dark knight in armor could be faintly seen in the ranks of the necromancers.

Tall, many, agile, and human-like, they had been hiding behind the crowd, taking advantage of the terrain or trees to dodge the bullets of the humans, while constantly jumping up and down towards the human position.

When the soldiers on the shore saw this, they couldn't help but be shocked, and then they turned their guns and opened fire on the dark knights.

The battleships at sea continued to fire, but despite this, the necrons stubbornly withstood the fire and pushed forward.

Although they all had to pay a great price for every meter they advanced, the necromancers had no fear.

Before they knew it, the necromancers were getting closer and closer to them.

Immediately, some soldiers began to throw grenades, blasting the rushing necromancers into the sky.

But at this time, more necromancers rushed up.

They were like waves when they were rising, they were repelled by one wave, and then another wave appeared. Although it has retreated again and again, every time it rises, it will be closer to the human defense line than before.

By this time, the war fortress had been loaded with bombs again and rose into the air. Drop some of the bombs into the water and blow up the undead who attack again from underwater.

The other part was thrown into the forest, to block the enemy's reinforcements, and second, to blow up the undead lich hiding in the shadows by the blind cat and the dead rat.

Lorraine sighed in his heart: the battle has become a war of attrition until now, depending on the number of enemies or their own bullets.

At this moment, someone was suddenly heard shouting: "Enemy, enemy is coming up from the other side." ”

Lorraine couldn't help but be stunned, then turned his head to look, and saw someone standing on the edge of the side of the mothership, pointing down, shouting loudly.

Lorraine was in his heart, and hurriedly ran over, and then looked down, through the clear water, he could see that there were countless figures on the bottom of the sea shaking and walking over, and he was only ten meters away from the battleship~!
