309: Pescara's Lost Lock
On the pier in Pescara, a large number of people stared blankly at the merchant ships rushing madly in the distance, and their hearts were puzzled.
"Look, everyone, what is that?!" At this moment, someone suddenly noticed a group of black dots on the horizon. These black dots were heading in the direction of Pescara at an extremely high speed, and the figure soon became clearly visible, its huge body of metal shell glistening in the setting sun, and the rows of dark magic cannon holes exuded an evil and terrifying aura!
"Oh my God, isn't that the legendary floating battleship? How could it be here!"
Everyone was stunned and shocked. But what frightened them even more was yet to come, when suddenly a strange loud noise came from the sea level, and the water seemed to roll violently, and a line of white lines appeared in the sky and quickly grew larger, and in the blink of an eye the white lines had washed up to the outskirts of the harbor and turned into a monstrous wave. The waves that were more than ten meters high roared fiercely, smashing and devouring all the ships along the way with unstoppable power!
"It's a tsunami!!
The sailors were the first to react, such a terrifying wave was unprecedented, and once they were swept in, there would definitely be no bones left! They screamed frantically and turned and fled, and the people around them were affected and ran backwards in panic. However, their speed could not be compared to that of a tsunami, and before they had even taken a few steps, the waves were already slamming down on the dock with a mountain of sound!
Seeing this behemoth more than ten meters high slapping head-on, everyone felt how small their lives were at this moment, and couldn't help but let out a desperate wail. And yet at this very moment. The entire harbor suddenly flashed with a burst of silver light, and the huge waves crashed violently on the light, making a series of rumbling sounds. It was eventually bounced back. Only a partial splash of water rushed into the light, knocking the chaotic crowd on the dock to the ground!
"God of Light bless!Great, it's the Lost Lock, the Lost Lock of Pescara City saved us!" Although the people of Pescara were smashed by some of the waves that rushed into the Lost Lock, they finally managed to save their lives. When the flood waters receded, they crawled from the ground, rejoicing in the locks that had saved their lives.
However, their excitement did not last long. After the previous tsunami was stopped, another wave came rapidly from afar! Not only that, but the floating fleet in the sky had already flown not far above the harbor. More than a dozen huge warships were lined up in a neat horizontal formation, and the heavy magic cannons sticking out from the side of the side were deeply aimed at the dock, and the dense spell patterns on the black cannons emitted a dazzling brilliance in the setting sun!
Seeing that the magic cannon of the mysterious fleet is about to launch a powerful salvo, face this terrifying scene. The mood of the people who were still stranded on the dock suddenly took a sharp turn. They shouted loudly, got up in a panic and ran inland.
At this moment, the heavy magic cannon on the side of the floating fleet had completed preparations, and a large number of dazzling light points gathered in front of the guns, and bursts of thunderous muffled sounds continued to come, and the surrounding air seemed to solidify! Immediately after, the light points gathered in front of the side exploded violently, and countless huge rays of light swept across the sky in the blink of an eye. At the same time, a second wave of the tsunami was surging with a thunderous force. Roaring ferociously and slamming towards the docks!
The huge waves and artillery fire combined to form a flanking attack in two directions, and the power was amazing. The Mystery Lock of Pescara City was hit at the same time, but instead it suddenly emitted a thousand feet of silver light, blocking the enemy's attack! The two sides collided violently, and suddenly there was an earth-shattering explosion, and the huge fire caused by the explosion soared into the sky, and the whole Pescara seemed to tremble!
The City of Light, Rome, the great center of the Apennines. Although the Balkan Wars intensified, and even the Western Roman Empire was involved and had to declare its entry into the war, at this moment, the city of Rome was still a scene of singing and dancing, bustling and lively.
Located in the Vatican area on the outskirts of Rome, the center of the Holy See of the Bright Days, stands a large complex of Illuminati buildings, which glow with a soft white glow day and night, as if bathed in God's blessings all the time. Colorful clouds float over the Vatican, and countless birds hover and dance among them, singing peaceful hymns.
The most central towering Bright Palace is the place where the popes have been consecrated by the past, surrounded by divine light, and beautiful nuns in pure white robes recite oracles incessantly. Every hall, corridor, and arch is a work of art, carved with delicate and intricate reliefs, and inlaid with all kinds of splendid gemstones, whose brilliance makes people marvel.
That afternoon, Pope Gregory VII sat on the throne of the temple as usual, with his twelve cardinals to discuss national and religious matters.
Although the power of the Bright Heaven Sect has greatly expanded under his unremitting efforts over the years, the people's reverence for the Father and His human incarnation has increased day by day, and the monarchs of all countries have submitted to the Pope and dare not openly disobey them. The Holy See, whose prestige is soaring, has obtained a large number of religious properties and territories from various countries, and its strength has reached unprecedented heights!
However, in recent times, various conflicts and contradictions in the countries of the world have intensified, and the kingdom of the God of Light is in turmoil, which has caused him a headache. In particular, the continuous expansion of the Protestant heresy in the West has caused many important dioceses near the Great Germanic Forest to break away from the control of the Holy See, and the Balkan continent in the East has fallen into the quagmire of war with the infidels, and has had to abandon the Latin Kingdom and the Knights Templar, which had been established with a lot of resources, and even cast a shadow on the reputation of the Holy See.
These are all high-impact matters, which are too difficult to solve easily, and the slightest carelessness can even undo years of hard work.
However, while Gregory VII was pondering, Cardinal Idas, who was in charge of the diocese of Africa, brought even more disturbing news: "His Majesty, Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II, has sent a letter asking us to send troops to attack the southeast of the Balkan continent as soon as possible, in order to relieve them of the pressure on the Thermopylae. And His Majesty the Emperor also requires that the number of troops we send should not be less than 300,000!"
