Chapter 965: One Step Away

The thick clouds have dispersed, the cold winds have stopped, and the bright sun has once again sprinkled the entire world that has been restored to peace, indicating that the worst is over, or ...... Just about to start?

Although the Land of Despair is located south of Drowlivan, it is far from the South Pole, and it is unlikely that there will be icebergs on the surface of the ocean near it for 1,800 years, let alone the ice sheet that has frozen an entire ocean area. The climate here is pleasant, rich in resources, beautiful scenery, and close to the western continent and Taylandyr, so the sea is also well developed, and it is quite suitable for reclamation and living.

At least it used to be.

Now, however, Jikerem is eager to wrap himself in another blanket with the heating turned on. Affected by the previous spells, this sea area has become a world of ice and snow, and the temperature is low enough to turn water into ice. The warm waters turned into hard ice, and the only people who could run around on it were the sled dogs, and the only ones left were the strange-looking low-level monsters.

There were no such brave dogs in Jikrem's fleet, and he wasn't going to let his soldiers hedge with the crawlers on sleighs with their weapons - though it was possible that some little blonde queen would seem like a rather interesting and practical idea, and might be the first to get on the sleigh and scream and take the lead - the Admiral had already set up the fleet in defensive formation before the sea froze over, ready to take advantage of the superior firepower to stand by for reinforcements.

The only problem now is that the temperature is ridiculously low, and the fleet has not prepared corresponding cold measures. Some of the ships suffered a few breakdowns as a result. But none of this has much effect, as long as the naval guns work properly, everything is OK.

"How long will the enemy's forces come into contact with us?" asked Jikrem, rubbing his somewhat stiff hands, to his assistant, "Is that giant octopus diving into the deep sea ready to attack?"

The adjutant shook his head with pain on his face: "I'm sorry. Lord Admiral. There was some confusion in the troops for the time being, and the captains of the ships were dealing with it. However, according to the report of the observation room of this ship, although the opponent's battleship was also frozen, the low-level monsters that climbed up to dodge in advance had already formed a formation on the ice field, and it was expected that it would be within range of the main gun in four minutes. ”

"Those cannon fodder aren't a big deal, I'm more concerned about the octopus in the deep sea than I am. Jikerem exhaled softly and sniffled hard, "We can't move at all right now." It is definitely the best target for tentacle monsters. As soon as it breaks through the ice and burrows out in the middle of our formation and unleashes a large number of flying units at close range, a carnage ensues. As for our submarines, tell them that even if they are all gone, they won't let that big octopus get close to the fleet until the Queen's reinforcements arrive!"

The Alliance's submarine technology is not as advanced as the Dark Empire. Therefore, the coalition command has used this kind of warship as an auxiliary ship for detection, search and surveillance, but this is not to say that the coalition submarine ship does not have much combat power, and the actual reason why it has become an auxiliary ship is that the surface fleet of the coalition is too powerful, and the submarine has just discovered the enemy. The other side has been destroyed by the fleet (mainly carrier-based aircraft). There was no chance to play at all.

But today, the opportunity came to the door.

The thick layer of ice covered the entire overhead, and the sun couldn't even penetrate it, making it pitch black in the water. Despite this, the submarine, which has installed the latest sonar developed by the Alliance's Technology Development Department, can accurately grasp the location of the giant octopus by allowing the enemy to be observed by the naked eye.

No way, who made this guy's body so big?

Despite being from the Blue Star, Alicia had no intention of tinkering with physical weapons such as torpedoes, rockets, and missiles in Drowlivan. The power of these weapons is undoubted, but in this enemy army, many out-of-spec worlds with strength comparable to Batman, Spider-Man, Flash and even Superman can easily jump out. They're usually stopped before they hit their target – and in classic Hollywood blockbusters, it's all too common for superheroes to try to stop a nuclear bomb or something else from exploding, and to save money on special effects for explosion shots.

Therefore, all the weapons of the coalition are equipped with energy weapons. Submarines are no exception.

A large number of dazzling beams of light flew through the pitch-black waters, and the huge body of the giant octopus loomed in these rays of light, making it look even more hideous. However, this level of blow did not hinder the little monster much, and perhaps the beam of light did explode a bright light on its body, and indeed blasted off its solid skin, but it could not cause deep damage.

In the water, the carpal and foot of the large octopus did not seem to be able to spray the corrosive liquid, but it did not care, and swam firmly towards the ice under the bombardment of more than two dozen submarines that were slowly retreating. From the point of view, it was just below the surface fleet that was frozen and could not move.

Jikrem's speculation turned into reality, and the demon did exactly what he intended to do.

You can't go any further, and if you go back, it's ice. The giant octopus flipped over and stirred up a violent current, exposing the large teeth in the middle of its eight brachial legs, and pressed head-on the submarine that was squeezing each other like sardines.

This is trying to chew the battleship that stands in its way along with the ice. The scene in front of him was so terrifying and terrifying that even the strongest warrior would turn pale with fright on the spot, and his hands and feet would be cold, and he would not be able to resist at all. The size of that little monster was so big that it could definitely bite the air battleship that the coalition was proud of in two in one bite, and the small submarine could only be swallowed whole.

In desperation, the submarine had to flee from the position in all directions, and not long after everyone evacuated, with a loud rumbling sound, the giant octopus had already snapped into the ice in countless tumbling bubbles.

The ice shattered, and the tentacle protruded its eight-legged brachiopod into the breach. Dig up quickly.

At this time, on the ice field, the battle has entered a white-hot stage. The demons froze the sea not only to limit the movement of the coalition fleet, but also to turn the sea into land. Perhaps this newly formed continent is prone to all sorts of slippery and flat falls, and when collected, it can be a funny collection for the big screen. But it was a hard solid that could be stepped on, perfect for an all-out assault by the demon's massive ground forces.

Yes, not only did the batwings dispatch those low-level monsters that could swim, but even the ground troops gathered near the coast to fight soy sauce.

Closer, closer. Even though the barrage of the fleet was as dense as a storm, even the ice was blown into powder could not stop the surprise of these curious crawlers who had turned on Mad Dog mode. At the behest of the demons, they paved every inch of their path with colorful and foul blood, filling every crater with their mosaic bodies. Resisting the heavy artillery fire with his own life, he pushed the battle line to the vicinity of the fleet.

The distance between the two sides was very close, and the low-level monsters running at the front could already clearly see that the outermost frigate deck was standing in front of the soldiers with a sword and shield in hand, and the beard on the face of a middle-aged uncle who seemed to be the leader had not yet been shaved clean. Of course. In the next second, the unlucky egg, who had not yet understood the difference in the appearance of human subjects, completely evaporated in an oncoming beam of light.

But more cannon fodder came up from behind. The rolling tide is no longer enough to describe the demonic attack, it is completely an irresistible disaster like a tsunami or an avalanche!

"It's a big show. Jikrem looked at the fierce scene outside from the bridge and said calmly, "It looks like the demon has taken everything out, this is the legendary dog jumping off the wall?"

"Lord Admiral. Now isn't the time to tell a bad joke?" the adjutant was next to him, sweating profusely with an anxious face. There is no appearance that the surrounding temperature is very low, "The enemy's troops are about to come into contact with the battleships in the front row, and our barrage will also have loopholes, which will trigger a series of reactions and finally collapse!"

Jikerem took a deep breath, calmed down, and then spoke: "The enemy is rushing from the land side, and there is no encirclement for the time being. Then let the battleship that has not been attacked send both soldiers and magic crystals to the front line, which can increase the combat power a little. Also contact Her Majesty and ask her reinforcements to speed up. ”

The adjutant quickly issued the Admiral's order, and just walked up to the Signal Soldier to make contact. The whole battleship suddenly trembled violently, and immediately made him stagger.

"What's going on. Could it be that the shelling caused the ice to crack?" asked the adjutant loudly as he stabilized his figure.

Apparently that was impossible, the ice was as thick as a skyscraper, and harder than a tank's armor, and even the main guns of the Christaga could not have tried to penetrate it, let alone tear it apart.

Before anyone could figure out what was going on, another wave of tremors came, and this time it was even more violent.

"The tremors are coming from below us!" the bruised-faced communications soldier finally asked what was going on, and shouted to Jikerem with a frightened face, "Lord Admiral, that big octopus has broken through the submarine's barrier and is rapidly cutting through the ice!"

"Tsk, is this the end of it?" said Jikerem, pinch the bridge of his nose and sigh, "Leave that octopus alone and fight off the enemy in front of you." ”

The uncle, who still had a little stubble on his face, was now squinting his eyes to estimate the distance between the cannon fodder sea and the battleship he was on, to decide whether it was time to let the soldiers behind him launch a long-range strike. Of course, the uncle didn't have the enhanced good eyesight of Hunting Crawl, and in his eyes, these ugly creatures were basically the same, and he couldn't tell the subtle difference between them.

However, this does not affect the uncle's grasp and understanding of distance.

"Archers and mages beware, start attacking at will!" shouted the uncle, swinging his one-handed machete in the air, "You're welcome, throw everything you can at them!"

Although the alliance has obtained the musket technology of the Eastern Continent, it is not enough to train the soldiers of the Western Continent to learn how to use this sharp weapon in a short period of time, and the battleship itself does not lack long-range firepower, and it needs close protection even more. Therefore, Alicia did not set up a special musket unit in Birea's army for the time being. Sophia and the Roland Empire are quite interested in this weapon, but they have not yet formed combat power.

As a result, the convoys stationed on the ships were still the usual formation, and were not armed with muskets.

Hm. The world is unpredictable, and it is not impossible to prepare more than a hundred muskets for each warship with the urine of Elicia's girl. But there is no regret medicine in the world, and the coalition forces can only bite the bullet now.

A group of bitter men, who were also shivering in the ice and snow, rushed over from the nearby warships, saying that they had been ordered to come from behind. The uncle casually incorporated them into his own team, and then continued to focus on the curious creepers.

Even with the addition of these reinforcements, the situation is still not optimistic. In the incomparably dense beams of light in the sky, the sparse magic and arrows seemed somewhat tragic, and when they hit the ranks of low-level monsters. It disappeared without the slightest wave, as if it had never existed.

"Hey, is it really going to be like this?" Uncle Stubble spat viciously. And after the phlegm fell on the ice, it immediately turned into an ice lump, "The warrior stepped forward, prepare for melee combat!"

Amid a series of ironclad rubbing sounds, the resolute-looking warriors walked half a step to the side of the ship. Staring at the mass of monsters that were getting closer and closer, he tightly grasped the weapon in his hand. As soon as the other party came up, he beckoned them to their heads with all his might.

This is the place where the low-level monsters are most concentrated, and it is also the place where countless hunters are about to touch the coalition warship for the first time in battle, and with the increasingly obvious violent vibration under their feet, everyone seems to have seen the desperate sight of a giant octopus coming out of the center of the fleet that was overwhelmed by countless monsters and could not move.

However, these ugly monsters failed to touch the coalition warship in the end, and even left the words "here and visit" on the surface armor.

Rolling flames suddenly descended from the sky and swept across the land, engulfing all the countless monsters huddled together. The white ice field instantly turned into a scorching red purgatory, and a heart-rending wail resounded through the blue sky, and large swaths of ice formed spiderweb-like cracks and disintegrated, further hindering the escape of the low-level monsters. It makes the scene in front of you look more and more shocking.

What the hell is going on, is it a heavenly punishment? Uncle Hu raised his head in great astonishment and awe. The expression on his face slowly became fanatical, and finally he couldn't help but raise his weapon with tears in his eyes, and let out a rough roar of unknown meaning just to vent from his throat.

The steel eagles that covered the sky and the sun swept over everyone's heads in a neat formation at high speed, instantly dimming the unusually dazzling white ice field under the sunlight, and the fighter plane was followed by a giant dragon army of about a hundred and so many led by a small black dragon that was not yet an adult, and the furious dragon breath slashed the entire battlefield, leaving countless terrifying ravines with a little red light in the scorched black on the pale earth.

Above these specs is a beautiful maiden angel with pink wings on her back attached to some kind of translucent precision machine as large as a castle. The machine seemed to be in the void, and only the parts connected to the angels had been manifested, and only these embodied parts had exerted their divine power, so that people couldn't help but want to kneel down and bow to her.

That's right, the most powerful force of the alliance is not the surface fleet, but this incomparably huge air force!

In the fierce blow of the collapse of the sky and the earth, the demon army, which was only one step away from Jikrem's half-paralyzed fleet, finally collapsed. The low-level monsters that covered almost the entire ice field were wiped out in flames along with aerial bombs, dragon's breath, and the barrage of the Ouranos system, and all that remained was a desperate despair waiting for death.

Uncle Hu's roar quickly swept through the entire fleet like an epidemic epidemic, and the officers and men who thought that they could not escape the shackles of death were extremely excited, and many of them even hugged each other tightly and created countless pairs of good friends by the way.

The ice in the center of the circular fleet shattered into a cloud of ice with violent tremors and loud noises, and from below it quickly came eight terrifying wrists and feet, writhing back and forth desperately. An unfortunate ironclad ship was unfortunately caught by it, and was twisted into a twist under the terrifying gaze of the fleeing crew.

"Quickly turn the muzzle of the gun!" Jikerem in the Mangla ordered in a loud voice, "Concentrate all your firepower to suppress that big octopus, I don't think anyone wants to get a bento while victory is in sight, right?"

"All ships are doing it. The adjutant replied with a little pain, "But most of the battleship's main guns in the front row are overheated and need to be cooled urgently." So only the battleships in the back row are currently being attacked. ”

"It doesn't matter if the barrel of the cannon bursts, just block the other party!" Jikerem didn't care about these trivial matters, waved his hand vigorously and said loudly, "This guy must not be allowed to get out of the ice until the main force of the Air Force turns back!" (To be continued......)
