Chapter 222: Gunfire Mercenary Group
As Lin Taiping expected, the frustrated Duke of Bloodsa would never choose to give up, even though thousands of elite soldiers lost nearly a third, he still rested at the docks for a while, reorganized the army to launch a second wave of onslaught, and the armed fleet was intensively bombarded the pea pod forest from the beginning, and the ferocious artillery fire lasted for two hours.
However, relying on the deep cold ice cave hundreds of meters underground, and those pea pods that could still grow quickly even after being destroyed, Lin Taiping still led the dark creatures to resist the second round of attacks, and two hours later, the angry Duke of Bloodsa retreated again with hatred, and lost hundreds of armed soldiers in the fierce battle.
In this way, the fierce offensive and defensive battle lasted for three days, and both sides suffered heavy losses, Lin Taiping's side consumed a large number of magic crystals, and the remaining number of magic crystals was difficult to support large-scale battles, and the orcs and ogres were even more scarred in the fierce battle, and because of the continuous urging of those pea pods, their spiritual power began to be unable to keep up.
Of course, as the attacker, the Duke of Bloody Scatter paid an even heavier price in this offensive and defensive battle, the magic crystal shells carried by the armed fleet were about to be consumed, and the elite legion of nearly 3,000 people lost nearly half, in other words, even if he won this battle now, it can be said that he suffered heavy losses, and even in the future, because of the problem of empty troops, he will have to face the challenge of those lords in the central sea.
Under these circumstances, many people began to consider whether there was any point in fighting like this, and a staff officer who was deeply trusted by the Duke of Bloodsa hesitated for a long time. Finally, in the middle of the night on the third day, he found Duke Xuesa, who was checking supplies on the beach, and said tremblingly: "My lord, I personally think that maybe we should choose to give up ...... strategically."
Never! I never have the word give up in my dictionary!
There is no doubt that Duke Bloodsa's first reaction when he heard the withdrawal of the army was to grab the neck of this confidant staff officer, and roared with a hideous roar on his face: "Damn bastard, what are you talking about, you actually want me to give up my dignity and honor." Choose to give up when you are about to win. Do you want me to be a joke for the whole sea of chaos?"
Feeling his monstrous rage, all the armed soldiers lowered their heads in horror, and the staff officer, who was choked by the throat and could barely breathe, blushed and stammered, "But. But adults. Those inferior creatures have an endless number of strange defenses. Even if we use our human lives to pile up, even if we can break through smoothly in the end, it will cause immeasurable losses. And in this way, your plan to go to war with other lords ......"
"Do I need you to teach me?" Duke Bloodsa's face was distorted and spewed white gas, throwing this self-righteous fool on the ground, gasping angrily, he barely suppressed the anger that was about to explode, and roared viciously, "What about those mercenaries, those mercenaries who asked you to contact, what the hell are they, they have been three days late, and if they don't come, they will never be used!"
"Yes, it should be almost there. The staff officer wiped his head in a cold sweat and said in a somewhat uncertain trembling voice, "A few hours ago, I just contacted the gunfire mercenary group with a magic teleportation, they encountered a storm a few days ago, so they were a little late, but now they have arrived near the Ice and Fire Islands, and they will be there soon." β
"It's better to be like this!" Duke Bloodsa snorted coldly, paused for a moment, but suddenly showed a hideous smile, "Since you need to use human lives to pile up, then use the lives of those mercenaries to pile up, I want to see what kind of capital the so-called gunfire mercenary group has, and dare to offer me a sky-high honorarium......"
"Of course we dare!" At that moment, a shrill voice suddenly came from the night not far away, with a lofty arrogance, with maddening ridicule and sarcasm, echoing on the wind-swept sandβ
"That dwarf, don't use those idiots under your command to measure the combat effectiveness of our gunfire mercenary group, understand?"
Very good and powerful, in an instant, everyone on the beach suddenly changed color in unison, there is no doubt that the creatures in the southern part of the entire chaotic sea know that if you don't want to be torn to pieces by the Duke of Blood, then don't mention certain sensitive words in front of him, such as tall, such as short, such as looking up, even words such as long and short......
Speaking of which, this strange guy who suddenly appeared dared to use the word "dwarf" to call Duke Bloodsa was simply asking for his own death, and in an instant, all the armed soldiers changed color and pulled out their long swords, and the staff officer who had just made a mistake jumped up in anger in order to make meritorious service for his crimes: "Damn bastard, you dare to be disrespectful to the duke, get out of here!"
"What did I say? Am I wrong?" came a shrill and shrill laugh in the night, and a gust of sea breeze blew through the mist, and a large group of stout and burly strange creatures came out of the shadows of the mist.
These strange creatures, all dressed in dark cloaks, hid their entire bodies and faces in the shadows, and with a sarcastic sneer, they swaggered through the crowd and walked over, each carrying a magic musket with a bowl on their shoulders, the body of the spear was as red as blood inlaid with thunder fire crystals, and from time to time a few lightning bolts flashed and swam around the muzzle, making a dangerous sizzling sound.
There is no doubt that the true identity of these strange visitors can already be judged from these seemingly powerful magic muskets, Duke Bloodsa clenched his iron fist with a twisted face, looking at these bastards who dare to laugh at his height, his angry eyes are burning with flames: "Damn bastards, that's how you guys get paid to do things? It's been three days late, do you know how many elite soldiers I have lost due to this delay?"
"That's because your men are idiots and shit. Completely ignoring the threat of the Duke of Bloodsa, the leader of the Gunfire Mercenary Regiment stood up with a magic musket on his shoulder, and compared to his men, this strange guy in a mask looked thicker, and at the same time raised his chin even more arrogantly, "Shorty, you are as stupid and useless as your men, if it weren't for the high mercenary money......
"Shut up for me. You impudent bastard!" Duke Bloodsa's anger finally erupted uncontrollably, and in his roar, all the armed soldiers around him drew their swords, "No one, no one has ever dared to be so rude to me, if you dare to call me that word again......"
"Shorty, shorty, still shorty!" the leader of the gunfire mercenaries repeated with a sneer, and even raised his head unscrupulously, looking at Duke Bloodsa with the same gaze as a lowly creature. "Even if you kill me now. A dwarf is a dwarf after all, and besides, are you sure you can kill me?"
With his sarcastic sneer, the gunfire mercenaries all raised their magic muskets, and the muzzles of thunder and lightning burst into dazzling light. Aimed at the Duke of Bloodsa and the armed soldiers on the opposite side. No doubt. As long as the leader gives an order, these guys will not hesitate to pull the trigger, unscrupulously and completely without thinking about the consequences.
All of a sudden. The already tense atmosphere was full of gunpowder, perhaps because of anxiety, or perhaps because of too much anger accumulated in the past few days, a heavy armored warrior suddenly roared, raised his shield and rushed forward, like a heavy carriage, viciously rushed towards those gunfire mercenaries: "Die, bastards who dare to offend the duke, give me all ......"
Bang bang bang! bang!
Before the words fell, nearly a hundred magic muskets roared and fired at the same time, and the flame magic crystal bullets shining with thunder and electric light, like a dense storm, all hit the body of this heavily armored warrior, even if it was still hundreds of meters away, the shield made of solid iron was blasted into pieces, and the two layers of heavy armor couldn't even hold on for a few seconds, and they were shot into a sieve full of bullet holes.
Dumbfounded, the heavily armored warrior slowly lowered his head in amazement, looking at the countless blood gushing up and down his body, and suddenly his face was full of distorted long howls, before the long howl fell, his flesh and blood body suddenly roared and exploded, hundreds of fragments scattered and splashed to the ground, and the minced flesh was still shining with thunder and lightning.
The crows were silent, and at this moment, the originally noisy dock suddenly became silent, as if they had cast a magic spell, and all the elite soldiers opened their eyes in horror, and involuntarily gasped in unison.
The gods are above, even the frozen peas controlled by those dark creatures would not have imagined that they could penetrate a heavily armored warrior so easily, but these damn magic muskets, at a distance of hundreds of meters, actually slaughtered him like a chicken, and saw the undead, is this really a magic musket, since when did those magic muskets that fire slowly and often fail have such terrifying power?
In the strange silence, Duke Bloodsa stared at the bloody red eyes, looking at the gunfire mercenary group opposite, for a few seconds, the iron fist he was holding tightly was trembling slightly, but for a moment, the angry Duke suddenly let go of the iron fist, and laughed happily: "Very good, very good, it seems that my high mercenary money is not in vain." β
"Got it, now that you get it, let those idiots under your command get out of the way. The leader of the gunfire mercenaries sneered arrogantly, completely ignoring the deliberate flattery of the Duke of Bloodsa. "Prepare the remuneration we agreed upon in advance, send someone to show us the way, and in two hours, you will be able to clean up the battlefield. β
Before Duke Bloodsa could answer, the staff officer next to him blurted out: "Listen, maybe your strength is very strong, but the strength of those orcs and ogres is far beyond imagination, and there is a sinister monkey giving them advice, how can it be ...... in just two hours"
"Idiot, in my dictionary, there is never a word impossible. The leader of the gunfire mercenaries smiled happily, and in the darkness of the night, a huge lightning bolt roared down at this moment, illuminating their masked faces, and also illuminating the magic muskets that were still black smoke.
"Conspiracy, magic, traps, ridiculous, all of them are vulnerable to my wits and strength!"
