Chapter 921: The show hasn't started yet
Yu Chimu's original plan was to multiply Yu'er's special charm ability when the demon launched a general attack from land, and then affect the entire battlefield, completely disintegrating the enemy's cannon fodder sea in an instant, and finally winning the battle. Although Alicia did not think that Hannah would attack from the front even when the coalition ground forces were ready, it would be a good idea to lend the little fox to Yu Chimu as a safety measure, so she agreed to his request.
It's just that at present, it seems that she is excited to follow Yu Chimu to the battlefield and want to have a good time, no, I mean Yu'er, who made a big fuss, is afraid that she will have a happy scene, and when she comes back, she must prepare a lollipop for comfort in advance.
Because the vanguard of the demons has thrown all their forces into this river.
The fleet was slowly retreating in an orderly manner, and the rain of cannon fire smashed into the low-level monsters that spread all over the river, setting off countless mosaics, but it still failed to stop the momentum of the other party's frantic advance. These pathetic creatures, like the undead, have no fear of death, and the smell of blood is more intense than that of their unbreathless and passionless creatures, whether it belongs to their enemies or their companions.
Hannah hadn't arrived on the battlefield yet, so she hadn't been able to spot a very special phenomenon: the coalition fleet was not large, and full firepower could not stop the massive number of hunts from crawling, and in the batch of falling physical shells, there were often a few duds, which sank to the bottom of the water without even letting out a fart.
Back then, because the Ming Empire had to deal with the demons entrenched in the Eastern Continent with all its might, it didn't pay much attention to the naval army. Their warships are already lagging behind the Alliance and the Demons. But even so, the Ming army's maintenance of the battleship on weekdays is still quite good, and there will never be so many duds in actual combat.
It's a pity that the low-level monsters are currently in charge of Ralph, who has more muscles than brains. He hadn't noticed the anomaly, and even if he did, the wallgrass wouldn't have reported it to Hannah.
Imrith, who was standing beside Alicia with a clenched little fist and a face full of excitement, also didn't notice, she only paid attention to the hunters who were getting closer and closer to the fleet: "Sister, will we retreat a little slower? ”
"No, that's just right. Alicia looked not far away with her hands in her arms and smiled faintly, "Although the kite flying tactics are very good, we can't retreat indefinitely. If you speed up, you can really keep your distance from the enemy. But Baoqing City is in the back, and the people inside are still counting on the fleet to protect them on the river, so how can we retreat? Instead, they really need to borrow their power to fight against countless curious crawlers. Otherwise, we just let Old Man Lin fly the enemy's kite and sit together to drink tea and the battle will be over easily, right?"
"By the time the fleet can't go any further, you'll need to shine and fight hard, right?" Imrith nodded her head in understanding, then clenched her fist in her chest. "Sister-sama. Eth will do her best!"
"Well, I know. The blonde girl rubbed her sister's head dotingly and said, "Just be careful not to let the dark energy in your body suddenly burst out and turn the entire river into a badly polluted river that has been dumped with countless industrial waste on the Blue Star, causing not a single fish to see it inside, and even the undead and resentful spirits will let out a painful wail in it, just like the Styx." ”
"It sounds like there's something strange mixed in there, but why does Ise think the river is so much worse that it's polluted with industrial waste?"
"Husband, give some money to a little bit of the people above, and this is no longer a big problem. Alicia replied with a stern look on her face as she raised her index finger.
Where did you come from, the black-hearted and unscrupulous factory owner!? Don't teach Imrise, who is everyone's little sweetheart, how can you repair it!
Several jets of rushing water erupted from the side of the ship interrupted the sisters' conversation. Generally speaking, this means that the ship has been shelled by an enemy miss, but the monsters capable of long-range fire are a small number of elites, and Hannah has no authority to command them, so this is not really an artillery bombardment.
The river was very crowded, and it was also hit by constant fire from the fleet. As a result, the team's forward speed was greatly reduced, and some of the "brain-wielding" low-level monsters chose to dive out of the water to approach the fleet—and they did succeed. It's just that it didn't make a big impact on the fleet.
In Elysia's plan, melee combat between the fleet and a large number of inferior monsters was inevitable, so the coalition was prepared accordingly. These few monsters that jumped out of the water with teeth and claws, wanting to jump onto the deck of the battleship to show off their might, were killed by the crowd around them before they could stand firmly.
Of course, in addition to the sailors with muskets, there were also many adventurers who were specially deployed on the battleship. These fierce people who can stand face to face with low-level monsters and draw each other are the main force that Alysia really uses to protect the fleet, and she and her friends just come to join in the fun.
There are all kinds of adventurers in the Western Continent, such as mercenaries who have quit their jobs, college graduates who have just entered society, retired soldiers who occasionally make cameos to earn some money for drinks, teenagers who aspire to become brave after successfully leveling down slimes with a broken iron sword funded by elders in a poor village, or school students who take advantage of the holidays to do odd jobs...... In short, this is a freelance profession that anyone with a little bit of strength can try, and there are many different types of people mixed in it.
When Alysia issued a commission to the entire Western Continent, she had set a bottom line for the strength of the adventurers, because the little queen thought that the adventurers with strong strength should also have rich combat experience, and the casualties would be reduced when fighting demons in the Eastern Continent. However, she did not consider another scenario.
With a very good talent, the strength is relatively strong, but the actual combat experience is relatively scarce, so he registered as a temporary adventurer during the vacation, and wanted to accumulate experience, and also joined the army of adventurers who had gone on an expedition to the Eastern Continent.
Let me start by making a point. Fabiano and his two sisters were happily playing in the Shura field in Roland's hometown, while Sun Xiang and Chasi were busy earning school fees for the coming year, and neither of them was here—and if they were, they would have met Alicia long ago.
So the little queen met another pair of loving couples who knew each other but didn't know each other's names and were more impressive: a civilian boy and a tsundere lady who Alicia had met at the Reze Cup tournament and didn't know which academy represented the competition.
"Now, commoners. Do you think we can really gain experience points by playing soy sauce on the deck of a battleship like this? As a result, it was immediately snatched away by someone else. You can't move faster?"
"My eldest lady, do you think this is an online game that needs to rob monsters? Anyway, can't you stay obediently in Baoqing City, why do you want to take the initiative to ask Ying to go to the front line? What if there is anything wrong with this......
"Cut, how dare a mere commoner point a finger at Miss Ben? I can go wherever I like, and no one can stop me, not even my father. If you can, you can go out with Miss Ben during the winter break, and you can thank me so much! It's not because my father is against the two of us that he ran away from home, you, don't mistake this for elopement!"
"Yes, yes, you just came out to have a break with me, and definitely not to avoid the people your father sent to capture you before joining the expeditionary force and coming to the Eastern Continent. As for elopement. At the moment, I still have self-knowledge that I can't afford to raise you at all, so I don't have to worry about it at all. ”
"Urussai——! I said no, absolutely not!"
Imrith, who was observing the enemy's situation, suddenly noticed that the expression on Alicia's face was a little strange, so she tilted her little head and asked suspiciously, "Sister, what's wrong?"
"Nothing. The little queen patted her embarrassed cheek vigorously and smiled back at her sister and said. "It's just that I suddenly found a stupid and funny couple I know nearby. And listen to their conversations. It seems that the progress between them is relatively smooth, but the woman's father does not agree. Well, this is also a kind of trial. Try to surpass it, boy!"
"Although you are full of righteousness and posture to cheer for others, but sister, you are actually just planning to gossip and watch the fun, right?"
The blonde girl casually flicked a finger on the door of Little Ise's head, causing the little girl to immediately pout aggrievedly.
As he spoke, the fleet had stopped retreating, and the low-level monsters densely packed on the river immediately approached at a very exaggerated speed. Icarus, who was guarding the sky, decisively spread his brilliant pink wings, and the overwhelming gorgeous barrage instantly enveloped the entire river, turning it into a scorching magma that burned violently.
But even that didn't stop the Hunters from crawling, and they didn't care about the boiling water and flames. Ignoring the mighty Artemis, it rushed towards the small fleet like an unstoppable tsunami.
"Aya!"
"Kezi!"
Alicia and Imrith shouted the names of their respective bound girls in unison. They were answered by a high dragon groan that echoed above the river and a resounding answer from a young girl.
Although Kezi's current strength is not strong, her grade is very exaggerated, and she naturally recognizes Locklip's true identity. The Teenage Evil God had quietly approached the God of Creation in the hope that he could break the seal placed on him and help heal his wounds to better assist Imrith, but the reward he asked for was too outrageous—something very H-something—and then ...... There is no then.
So today, Kezi is still continuing to work hard with a strength of about level 7.
The evil god standing on the back of the little black dragon gracefully waved her white slender arms, and with Icarus's continuous barrage, the river was completely turned into a sea of fire;
"Good, exaggerated. Imrith clasped her hands together on her chest and muttered, "Is this the scene formed by the cooperation of those who stand at the pinnacle of power?
"That's why the alliance is building an army that is not ordinary. Looking at Alicia in the distance, she suddenly frowned, "The other party looks like it's about to act." Little Ease. Get ready, Kezi's association is about to be interrupted. ”
Before the little girl could understand the meaning of her sister's words, a fiery red burly figure quickly jumped into the air from behind the group of low-level monsters. Take the most striking Icarus straight away.
Ralph naturally had no intention of killing Icarus, and he wasn't sure if Alicia would suddenly jump out in the ultimate goddess form and shoot herself to death, just to be on the safe side, he only needed to drive the Sky Queen and them away. What's more, if the demon really fails completely, he might as well go to the little queen officially, and now try not to make the relationship too stiff.
It's just that the red-skinned demon obviously underestimated the combat ability of these cute girls.
Ralph, who was carrying a black serrated sword, slashed his weapon head-on at Icarus, but he retained some strength. In a battle of this level, it is completely possible to dodge this attack, who would have thought that the Queen of the Sky would not dodge or dodge. Let the serrated sword fall as fast as it could, then slam into a cyan circular shield.
Ralph, who was so shocked that his mouth was numb, couldn't help but show a look of surprise and surprise on his face - the angel in front of him was only level 7 strength, and he actually blocked his attack head-on. Although not with all their might. But the red-skinned demon's sword is not extraordinary, and when he swings the sword, he attaches a law attack, and after a direct hit, the armor of the air battleship should be a large piece less, but the pink angel can easily block it with only a shield that I don't know what it is!?
How did he know that the scientific name of this thing was aegis? And it was once strengthened for Icarus by the loving creator god Locklip himself. It's not a problem to just block a law attack of about level 7.
A black ominous flame slammed into the stab at a very tricky angle like a poisonous snake spitting letters, and the astonishing energy contained in it made Ralph avoid it for a while, and he retreated for a long distance before he stabilized his body.
"Tsk, I'm still thinking about dominating the entire battlefield, why does it look like I don't have to fight now?" Ralph pursed his lips and laughed at himself with a painful face, "Are the people around Alicia out of specification, I'm about to lose my grip before she appears!"
Ayaya carried Kezi to the vicinity of Icarus: "Are you okay?"
The Queen of the Sky shook her head faintly.
Although Ralph at level 8 felt a little unbearable, Icarus was also helpless against the red-skinned demons. This guy has rough skin and thick flesh and is strong. If you really want to let him pass, the fleet behind him is afraid that it will be completely wiped out in a few minutes, so he can only entangle the other party in place. to guarantee that he would not strike at the fleet.
The barrage of terror that stood between the low-level monsters and the coalition fleet disappeared.
"It's wonderful, Miss. Now we don't have to worry about not being able to get the blame, what do you think? I'm not happy at all anyway. ”
"Are you scared? Hmph, what a commoner. In this case, you can only be considered a real adventurer if you are more courageous and strive to face it, show me your courage!"
"Ah, I'm just worried about your safety, okay?"
"I'll take care of Miss Ben's safety, just take care of yourself. I am not glad that people care about my people like this. Not at all!"
"Yes, but I see the corners of your mouth are smiling happily...... It hurts——!! why do you want to bite again!?"
Paying close attention to the many curious climbers not far away, Alicia suddenly felt that nothing mattered, in the face of the powerful daily atmosphere, no matter if you were a miscellaneous soldier cannon fodder demon king tentacle monster, you had to stand aside!
The battleships of the first echelon crossed the hull under the command of Lin Feiyun, and they were connected end to end to form a line. This formation is not only conducive to maximizing firepower, but also blocking the advance of low-level monsters on the water, and from a distance it looks like a steel wall lying across the river.
The battleships of the second echelon where Alicia was located also began to carry out the same formation in the rear, and it seemed that Lin Feiyun was planning to form several defensive lines.
The weapon in Imrith's hand is the Starlight Scepter, and she will use her powerful dark energy to devour countless monsters in her face, so that the other party will not even have bones left. In addition, when the battle situation is critical, it cannot be ruled out that her loving sister next to the little girl will suddenly take advantage of her unpreparedness to rip off her fat and use it as a sacrifice to the Starshine Scepter to summon some powerful creature......
The cute little Ise didn't know about this, she just kept a cute nervous expression, held the staff and watched the battle not far away, and didn't even dare to breathe a mouthful.
Once in Birea, Imrith had seen the spectacle of the river at high tide, but it paled in comparison to what she was seeing now. Countless monsters paved the surface of the river blue-gray, the rumbling sound of paddling almost drowned out the sound of gunfire, and the steel battleship swayed visibly from the strong vibration of the water, causing everyone to fall crookedly.
"Sister, sister. ”
"Don't be nervous, little Ace. Alicia grinned excitedly, touched her sister's head, looked at the unstoppable torrent in front of her, and said, "The real show hasn't started yet." (To be continued......)
