"It's kind of weird. ”

On the deck of the warship, Richard said softly. He was a lieutenant colonel and had been dealing with pirates for a long time. There are indeed some tricky characters in pirates, and there are even some guys who like to play yin. But at this moment, in the extremely important battlefield of the Whisperer's Strait, Richard didn't think those guys could be so quiet that they didn't even move at all.

As the vanguard of the fleet, Richard led five warships loaded with power armor into the channel. But along the way, he was not intercepted in any way. Seeing that the waterway of the strait had traveled nearly halfway, Richard's heart felt more and more heavy.

Because the strait is too quiet.

Only the sound of wind and water sounded, which is extremely abnormal. There are very few collaborators among pirates, and they are all loners. Even if we are forced to cooperate by the situation, it is only a matter of uniting and acting together. But when it came time to fight, it was still the big ones. These guys lack management, scheduling, and no tactics to speak of. It's just that relying on the special geographical environment of the Western Continent, coupled with the fact that the Pope's Hall has not been able to crack down on them enough, these guys have lived arrogantly until now.

But now, the tranquility of the strait can only show two possibilities. For one, the pirates have all been evacuated. But this was not possible, they could only enter and exit Roaring Bay, and as for the Devil's Passage, it was not something that ordinary ships could cross. So there is a second possibility, a leader finally appeared among the pirates, and thus went from a scattered plate of sand to a disciplined force?

It sounds ridiculous, but Richard won't deny the possibility, because of the Poseidon Decree that took place yesterday at the Sea House. The Poseidon Order is a big deal for both the pirates and the Knights of the Holy Seal, the former is self-evident, and the latter knows that whenever the Poseidon Order ends, a supernova-like pirate captain will be born.

Deborah and Cinderella are examples.

And while the Poseidon Decree was held, the pirates gathered, and the Pope's Hall launched this general attack, which was a matter of opportunity. If it goes well, the Papal Chamber will never be in trouble, and there will be no armed Liliang to resist the will of the Pope Chamber.

As a strange tradition among pirates, Richard has also heard of the Poseidon Order. Even occasionally with a few colleagues, if someone can defeat all the captains with the Poseidon Order, then a king will be born among the pirates.

The King of Pirates?

Of course, almost everyone who hears this speculation will laugh it off.

Because that's simply hard to do.

The worst of each pirate captain is also a fifth-order ability, and a fifth-order ability can already act as a captain in the Knights. Although no detailed statistics have been made, there are not 1,000 pirate ships active today, but 800. In other words, there are at least 500 or more captain-level capable people among the pirates, and the legendary four pirates have the terrifying strength to compete with the regimental commander-level figures.

Therefore, the Poseidon Order can theoretically produce a king who is superior to all pirates, but it is whimsical to think about the strength of defeating hundreds of captains plus three regimental commanders.

But now, facing the quiet Channel, the thought recurred in Richard's mind. The scattered pirates have become organized!

"Report the situation to Colonel Madel, and tell all the lieutenants to be careful, and tell them to take their own armored units. Wake me up, we need to be ready for pirate attacks!" cried Richard.

Just behind this forward team, there were more than a dozen warships. There was some distance between the warships, so Richard's orders were conveyed through the shortwave walkie-talkie and the flag bearer. And outside the strait, there is a long queue of five or six hundred warships!

In the middle and rear of this long line, it is the car of Colonel Madel, and the brain of the entire fleet. After receiving Richard's report, Madr also found a set of orders to go down. One of them was to suspend the entry of the follow-up warships, as well as to allow the forward team to speed up and quickly establish a defensive network to ensure the safe passage of the follow-up fleet.

Just as the fleet in the strait was reacting to Madel's order, on the high ground of a bend in the first half of the strait. A bush of grass moved on the high ground, and a pair of eyes in the grass stared closely at the captain below, and whispered: "The enemy army is about to reach the preset location, the enemy ship is slowing down the passage at the entrance of the strait, and the captain in front is speeding up. It is expected that in 10 minutes, the cordon will be crossed. ”

"Understood, keep watching. Franklin's voice rang out in everyone's headsets: "The demolition team is ready to act according to Jihua when the enemy ships pass the cordon." ”

"Let's give the Papal Room an experience of a lifetime!"

If Richard had heard Franklin, he wouldn't have accelerated the forward fleet as he did now. Unconsciously, he distanced himself from the dozen or so warships behind him. After driving through a sharp bend, a boulder suddenly appeared on the river in front of me. Although this large rock could not block the entire river, the boulder with a diameter of more than ten meters was obviously not an obstacle that the warship could bypass.

"Is it finally here?" cried Richard, "Heavy gunner, get ready to blast that damn stone away for me." The rest of the armoured units are ready for battle, and the pirates should be ambushing somewhere nearby. ”

"Yes!"

The deck of the Captain of the Striker was filled with the sound of messy footsteps, as well as the sound of power armor hydraulics running. Paladin-type armor took to the deck, and the only benefit of this bulky original armor was to act as a mobile turret. Each paladin armor was uniformly replaced with a terrifying revolving cannon, carrying two ammo boxes behind it to support them for continuous fire.

There are as many as 100 Paladins armored on the five striker ships alone, and they are evenly distributed on the striker ships, located around the warships. The dense distribution points will allow the warships to form a full range of firepower in the event of an attack, and the warships can form multiple firepower networks between them. Paladin armor lacks both agility and mobility, but has a strong advantage in firepower.

In addition to the Paladin armor, the Griffin Knight also took to the deck. These lightweight, second-generation armor are not known for their firepower, but they are capable of low-altitude cruises and act as scouts. They are equipped with light machine guns, but they can fire guided missiles and become excellent aerial combat power when needed.

On Richard's orders, more than a dozen griffon knights rose into the air and prepared to conduct reconnaissance work above the Channel. At this moment, the members of the Destiny heard Franklin's order: "Demolition team, action!"

In the next moment, a total of six cliffs in the Whisperer Strait suddenly exploded at the same time. The flames of the explosion came and went, and the cliff was blown to pieces, so that large chunks of rock poured down the slope and slid down the channel of the strait. Flying stones even fell from the top of the warship, and the two hapless griffin knights were hit by the flying stones before they could react, turning them into fireballs directly in the air.

"Fire, fire, blow up rocks. ”

As a result of this change, the paladin armor on the vanguard ships finally played their role as a mobile turret. Hundreds of power armors shot wildly into the sky, and in a flash of gunfire from the guns and guns, the lines of fire cut through the sky, forming a powerful firepower network, smashing the boulders falling from the sky again and again!

However, the explosion was caused by a detonator planted by the members of the Destiny early in the morning at three corners of the strait. The course of the Whisperer's Strait is a multi-curved course, and Franklin divides the seven bends into zones 1-7. A large amount of explosives has been planted in each section of the bend, and when necessary, the explosives can be detonated by the blasting group to create a cliff landslide, which will cause a large amount of debris to slide down and form a barrier with gravel between the sections!

The forward fleet of the Pope Hall is now blocked in Sector 3, while a dozen or so warships are trapped in Sector 2 and Sector 1 respectively. Because the firepower of the dozen or so warships behind them is far less than that of the forward team, two of them have been sunk by falling rocks in this explosion. The soldiers on board were killed and wounded, and the rest were forced to jump ship and flee to shore.

"The Capable Team is dispatched with the goal of destroying the opponent's power armor forces in Area 3. The force of this force is too strong to allow them to exist, or else it will tear our blockade apart. The rest of the men came with me, targeting the ordinary warships in Sectors 1 and 2, and destroying them all to give the enemy a dismount. Franklin kept giving orders through the headset, and Zuihou said, "Kaede, you can work." ”

"Great, I'm suffocating!"

When there was an explosion in the Whisperers Channel, Madr snatched the binoculars on the adjutant's chest on the bow deck and looked at the channel, and suddenly in the direction of the channel, the flames and black smoke of the explosion appeared in the direction of the channel. Then, the news that the fleet in the strait had been attacked and that obstacles had appeared in the river came back one by one. Madr clenched his fists and said, "Damn pirates, has it finally appeared?"

"Let the reinforcement fleet sail in at once, be sure to remove the obstacles in the shortest possible time, get closer to the forward fleet, and gather all Liliang to break through the pirate interception in one fell swoop!" madr shouted.

Having received his order, five warships, located at the entrance to the strait, began to advance. However, a warship in front of him had just entered the entrance when one of the captains in charge of the ship suddenly felt a bright light overhead. Looking up, a dazzling light was falling straight down. The captain could barely see that in the light, a shining diamond arm appeared!

Then, the bright light had already fallen on the deck of the warship. The bright light exploded into an unimaginable violent impact, and bursts of force fields with the smell of destruction continued to spread across the deck, so that the deck cracked and the steel nails shattered. The warship let out a mournful roar, but it was torn in two by this strong light!

Zuihou is an explosion.

The furious energy field pushes flat in a ring, generating terrifying shockwaves. The captain was directly blown away by this shockwave, and the captain barely used his fifth-order defense to protect himself. But as soon as the defense on his body was hit by the shock wave, it immediately shattered, so the captain threw it away with blood spraying wildly. After a brief coma, he fell into the water, and was agitated by the water and woke up again.

Looking ahead, there was a cloud of dust and smoke. In the smoke, there are scattered small electric fires from time to time. Fragments of the warship and the corpses of soldiers kept drifting out of the smoke, and the captain opened his mouth wide, unable to believe that a warship had been destroyed like this.

Gradually, the smoke on the river cleared. However, the back half of the warship was slanted into the water, and two paladin armor and countless soldiers were sliding helplessly down from the sloping deck. And on the fence at the stern of the warship, a figure turned his back to the captain. It was a man to be seen, but his hands were shining like diamonds in the skylight.

Kaede grinned and looked at the panicked enemy soldiers on the warship behind him, gently clenched his fist like a stone, and said, "I'm sorry, you guys just stop here." ”

With that, a pair of diamond arms lit up, overflowing with dazzling light from the inside out. Feng retracted his fist and blasted out, and a dazzling beam of light was immediately released from his fist, and the beam was filled with a strong aura of energy. The beam pierced straight through the bow of the warship, followed by the sound of the warship tearing apart. Then, in the eyes of the captain who fell into the water, the second giant ship disappeared again in the bright light of the explosion.

Kaede's job is to block the enemy's entry into the strait as much as possible, thus cutting off the opportunity to provide reinforcements to the warships trapped in the strait, and after destroying several huge ships with his divine hands in one go, Kaede feels a palpitation, and his heart beats uncontrollably a few times, making him feel empty. He knew it was a sign that his energy was almost exhausted, but in exchange, five warships had turned into a dozen or so huge wreckage.

The wreckage is clogged at the entrance to the strait, and even if the enemy forces want to remove them, it will take some time. And that's enough time for Franklin and the others to do a lot. The diamond-like hands of the gods are gradually disappearing, and to be honest, the hands of the gods are very powerful, but they are not suitable for use as weapons in the confrontation between the strong. It's more like a maple-specific cannon, and although the power of the cannon is great, it's better at attacking cities and grabbing land. As for the battle between the strong, that kind of delicate words Kaede prefers to solve with his own frost.

However, when it comes to cannons, in fact, Zero expected that the Pope's Hall would respond to the Poseidon Decree he launched this time, and let everyone come to the Whisperer Strait to prepare for the attack. Kaede suggested using the energy cannon on the Destiny directly, judging by the fact that this particle beam cannon had destroyed most of Asmo's record with one hit. As long as the Destiny is placed at the entrance to the Strait, even if a fleet comes to the Papal Hall like it is now, it will only be a matter of firing a cannon.

Unfortunately, Zero seems to have other uses for Destiny's energy cannon, and therefore does not approve of revealing Destiny's existence prematurely.

"Otherwise, probably everyone wouldn't be so busy now. Kaede returned to the high ground at the entrance of the strait and sat against an old tree. Frost is at his fingertips, and if the enemy fleet attacks again, it will have to be used. Judging by the speed at which his energy is recovering now, he will not be able to use the Hand of God at least until tomorrow. "The pirates must be nearby, the griffin knights' squad is on guard and out of their hiding spots!" Richard shouted urgently, directing the paladins to clear the barricades.

The griffin knight who received the order rose into the air, but at this moment, a petite figure swept out from the edge of the cliff on the left, and staggered past the griffin knights in midair. Suddenly, there was more black light in the air. At the other end of the light, the figure that fell to the shore on the right. Richard saw that it was a girl under twenty years old.

She looks cute, but she doesn't have any expression on her face. But she held a black silk thread in her hand, and with her flicking of the silk thread, the black silk threads entangled around the griffin knight suddenly resonated and vibrate. The vibrating black threads flickered in a row, and the griffon knight cut them into several parts, and then exploded into fireballs.

Richard looked wordlessly at the fireball exploding above before he roared, "Damn, it's the power! attack! attack!" but his eyes fell on the petite girl, but he couldn't find a match in the pirate information he had.

Yeliu unleashed a death recital, destroying more than a dozen griffin knights in one fell swoop. On the deck of the warship in front, several paladins turned their guns, and the revolver guns let out a thick roar. In the long tongue of fire, powerful bullets blasted towards her. Even a big man like Franklin's amazing defense was reluctant to face a frontal attack from such a terrifying weapon, not to mention that Yeliu was not a person who was known for his defensive ability.

The natural girl immediately leaned over and rushed, her speed was almost comparable to that of Zero, and although she couldn't break the sound barrier with all her might, it was not something that the backward locking system of the original mech could keep up with. So the bullets of the paladin mecha fell into the air, and several bullet chains blew the ground on the shore on the right into dust and smoke, but where did it hit the night ryu.

Yeliu's body accelerated, her toes touched the ground, and she slid forward ten meters each time, but she used her ability to "gallop". Under the effect of galloping, she was so fast that she was elusive, and in the blink of an eye, she had already run around the current warship. Around the warship, black light appeared at some point. These black energy threads wrapped the entire ship in it like spider webs, and it only stopped after Ye Liubu laid down these energy threads. Then he flicked one of the threads with his finger, and immediately another death song appeared, and one of the warships of Nuoda was about to be cut to pieces!

Several of them, who happened to have the silk thread wrapped around it, were cut by the silk thread before they could escape, and then exploded along with the warship. As a result, dozens of paladins on the ship fell into the water, and more soldiers and several lieutenants were not killed, but also fell into the water with the fragments of the warship. For a time, the water surface of the river was tumbling endlessly. Several paladins' armor was soaked in the seawater, and the engines immediately exploded, but in a few moments, the river was already in flames.

Richard watched his temples jump all the time, while shouts and gunfire rang out in the back corner behind the strikers. The lieutenant colonel knew that there was also a fight over there, but the more it did, the less the strikers could stop here. Otherwise, when the battle at the back bend is over, and the pirates rush up, his side will be even more dangerous.

"Get rid of the obstacles!" yelled Richard.
