The Neutrality Alliance has set up three fixed ships on the coastline of Vanua, and the three ships are anchored ten nautical miles from the three coastal cities, attracting the birds with spotlights and bright lights. The Poseidon is on patrol, moving between the three cities, mainly for the purpose of rescuing unexpected situations. According to the advice of the Star Alliance, the Poseidon was moored off the coast of the Fourth City, about ten nautical miles from the coastline and five nautical miles from the Fourth City fixed ship.

At night, at nine o'clock Anna reported: "Take the birds." ”

The spotlights rotate to illuminate the sky, and a group of dangna birds appear at a height of a thousand meters, and there is no way for this high powerhouse, if they can't attract them to attack the ships, it can only be to warn the city.

In the early days of the battle with the monsters, humans thought about using fighter jets for air defense, but because the number of birds was constantly replenished, and the fighters had various limitations, they finally gave up. First of all, the radar, when the size of the bird is about the same, can the radar scan the activities of the bird? Second, when the bird can be shot down by means of thermal guidance and other means, but a thermally guided missile is expensive, and shooting down a bird is almost not a loss to the monster. In addition, the fighter was once besieged by the Dang Na Bird, and under the impact of the Dang Na Bird, two fighters were damaged.

At present, humans have set up thermal radars in coastal cities, which can detect the invasion of Dana birds, and at the same time will pull the air defense alarm to make people pay attention and be careful. An alliance of hunters has also emerged in the country of Wa, and they use various thermal weapons to snipe the Dangna birds. The effect is not obvious, after all, the strength of the magic power of the bird is equivalent to that of the middle demon, and it is a small BOSS.

The best way to solve the problem is to take the bird, which is the ability to take action. Taking Fang Shi as an example, assuming that he has no talent, he can fight with one or two dang birds without falling behind when he is mentally equivalent in the ninth branch.

"It's coming. ”

After Anna reported, the bird swooped down on the Poseidon like a mosquito to a fire, targeting a few people clearly visible on the deck. These people are all masters, one of them is in the face, and the three dangna birds have already broken the Poseidon. But the following Danna bird was not afraid of death at all and continued to pounce. It also took three minutes for more than a dozen dangna birds to clean up. Then the pawn bird carcass was thrown into the sea and the blood on the deck was washed with seawater.

Fang Shi was not idle on duty at the bottom of the sea, and when everyone was fighting with Dang Na Bird, he was fighting with a Vitan Sea Monster. Compared to the Dana Bird, the Vitan Sea Monster has a higher magic equivalent, a huge body, and a slightly higher IQ. After seeing Fang Shi, he immediately fled, and Fang Shi pursued him for a nautical mile and killed him.

There was also a battle on stationary ships several nautical miles away, and it was clear that Dangnabird and the Vitan Kraken were attacking in batches.

In the Fourth City, the air raid sirens sounded, and the Adepts rushed to their chosen high places. On a dark coastline, there are many bonfires burning, and three or four people surround them. When the birds choose the nearest rather than the farthest and fly down, these three or four people are obviously bait, taking the opportunity to use various means to counter-kill.

This is also the first time that the Poseidon has participated in the battle of the defense of the city.

After the battle, Fang Shi was a little puzzled, and if he had any questions, he could say to Zhang Ming: "At least two batches of more than thirty Dangna birds...... My first question was that the batch was obvious, and it was a change from what I knew about the Dangna Bird when I was at the Beiguo Defense Pier, and the Dangna Bird at that time was very scattered in groups of two or three, no more than six at most. ”

"You suspect that when the bird is under command. ”

"Yes. ”

"What about the second question?"

Fang Shi said: "I contacted the command just now, and the command said that in the past half a month, the intensity of Dang Na Bird's attack on the fourth city has suddenly increased. ”

Zhang Ming understood what Fang Shi meant: "Do you think that Dangnabird was sent by its boss to plunder food?"

"Yes?"

"The boss who took the bird is probably a big monster. ”

"Yes. ”

Zhang Ming didn't understand: "This is also normal, right?"

Fang Shi said: "I mean, the big monster obviously has a certain amount of wisdom, and with a certain amount of wisdom, is it possible for it to think of a way to cross the sea?"

Zhang Ming disagreed: "This shouldn't be, you're worried." If the other side had the means to cross the sea, it would not have waited until now. ”

"Yes, after all, twenty nautical miles. ”

"If you have something to say, just say it. ”

Fang Shi thought for a while: "I killed a Vitan Sea Monster, this Vitan Sea Monster is not the same as I knew before. I've been on a mission to save survivors, and even though the Vitans have a higher IQ, they can run away. But this Vitanan ran away when he saw me, and we didn't fight at all. Another anomaly, judging from the multiple attacks, there should be a Vitan sea monster near the Vitan Sea Monster, more or less, but in contact with the neighbors, there is only one in this sea area. ”

Zhang Ming explained: "Since we can't communicate with monsters, we don't know the habits of monsters at all, so we can only judge their behavior according to what we see in our daily lives, don't think so much." ”

As she said that, Anna came out of the cockpit and said, "Meeting." ”

......

Anna put the chart on the table, and Anna took into account the snow and ice and the nightlessness, and first introduced: "The nearest land in the fourth city to the country is 20 nautical miles, and we are located in the position of ten nautical miles, here. These three points are three stationary ships. The command sent a message that the surviving Dangna birds two hours ago had not returned to Beiguo, and that they had all landed on this small island, which had been the case for half a month. ”

It's a small island, with a low tide area the size of a football field. The island is six nautical miles from the land of Bei and about seven nautical miles from the Poseidon. The drone found that there were a large number of dangna birds on the island, and infrared detection showed that there were always 100 dangna birds roosting on the island in the past half month.

Anna said, "Command meant to let us go over and have a look." ”

Fang Shi looked at the map, the color of the sea water on the map is different, there is a crack-like trench here, and the island is on the edge of the crack. Fang Shi looked at the label and said: "This trench is called the Beiguo Trench, with a depth of three thousand meters, a width of about one nautical mile, and a length of three nautical miles...... Strangely, the original ferry from Beiguo to Waguo did not cross this line. ”

Gamble is well aware of the water ripples in the northern hemisphere, and says: "In the early years, this trench was called the Devil's Trench, and many low-flying planes and some ships lost contact near the trench. The scientific expedition team conducted an investigation and found that the closer to the trench the magnetic field is, the stronger it is, which can interfere with and cause electronic instruments. Later, the area was designated as a no-fly zone and a no-navigation zone. However, there are also fishing boats that use physical and mechanical means to catch fish here. This basically verifies the claims of the scientists. "Science has a comprehensive explanation for this, probably similar to the situation in Bermuda, which, for some reason, is a magnetic tape of the Earth, which continuously emits ultra-low-speed electromagnetic waves, and can even interfere with low-orbit satellites.

There is a strong magnetic field in many places on the sea, and there will be a situation called magnetic change, and it is unreliable to rely solely on the compass for the ocean. Many people say that the main reason for the greatness of the European Maritime Century is the invention of the astronomical clock. The reason why the Sea of the Gods is troublesome is not only that it cannot rely on the most advanced satellite positioning, but also because of the dark cloud cover, it is impossible to use the astronomical clock, and of course, because of the strange dark cloud magnetic field, the compass cannot be used normally.

Zhang Ming asked: "What does the command mean that these Dana birds did not return to the land of Beiguo after attacking the city, but stopped on a small island?"

Anna: "I don't know, I still need to be contacted, what's wrong?"

Zhang Ming said: "When the bird is carrying food, this food should be a tribute to the high-level monsters." If so, can it be speculated that there are high-level monsters in the Devil's Trench?"

Anna contacted the command and said after a long time: "Half a month ago, when the bird attack was abnormal, the command also had suspicions. The Star Alliance sent planes to drop a large number of probes into the trench, but no large creatures were found. So Command wanted us to take a look. ”

Fang Shi: "We definitely can't carry the big monster." ”

Gan Bo said: "Two kinds of big monsters, big monsters in the water, don't think about it, we will definitely not be able to defeat them, but if there is really such a big monster, it will definitely have invaded the coastline." One is a non-water monster that can survive in the water, and even if we can't do it, we can still run. ”

Fang Shi: "Let's see?"

Gamble nodded: "Set sail...... No night, prepare breakfast. ”

Nightless on deck shouted, "Got it. ”

......

The Poseidon approached Devil's Island at ten o'clock in the morning, and sure enough, the island was full of birds and started work.

After five minutes of fighting, the remaining dozens of Dangna's birds flew together towards the land of Bei as if they had received an order, and the Poseidon occupied the island. The island is full of human bones, and the Poseidon reported back to the command, judging from the scene, when the bird attacked the human and brought the human stump back to the island, it was likely to be eaten by himself.

The command told the Poseidon to be careful, and at the same time sent a reconnaissance group to the vicinity of the trench.

At 11:30 a.m., Fang Shi and Gamble entered the Devil's Trench together.

At 5:30 p.m., Fang Shi and Gamble, who had rested twice, did not find any large monsters in the Devil's Trench, and Fang Shi did not find any human bones at the bottom of the trench.

Early the next morning, the two continued to explore the trench, and after three days of exploration, nothing was found. After the occupation of Devil's Island, Dannak never returned to the island.

Because the command was not at ease, on the fourth day, eight more people who were familiar with the nature of the water were invested, and by sending out a scientific research ship to use instruments to comprehensively detect the Devil's Trench, they tossed for another five days, but no large monsters were found.

During the exploration of the Devil's Trench, when Nakniao was still attacking the Fourth City, Command ordered the Poseidon to return to its position and continue to take on the role of luring and culling.

Zhang Ming put forward a possibility, this may be a big monster that is not too strong, but has a relatively high IQ. Looking through the teachings, I found a similar record of monsters in the water in the Hell chapter of the Divine Comedy. This demon was called the ancient serpent, and it had seven heads, ten horns, and a red body. It is small in size compared to other large monsters, and is about forty meters in length. It is recorded that if a person looks into the eyes of an ancient serpent, it will be petrified, which is equivalent to its Medusa properties. To save a petrified person, the blood of an ancient snake needs to be smeared on the person's body.

According to the doctrine, the ancient snake is a very despicable and shameless monster, and its own strength is not strong, but he deceived and lured many originally upright divine envoys to do bad things and fall into hell. This kind of bad thing is called a game between men and women, and the ancient snake is also regarded by the teachings as a representative monster of one of the seven deadly sins. (Based on the snake in the holy book that tempted someone to eat an apple)

Fang Shi asked: "Although the doctrinal record is not strong, have we done it?"

Zhang Ming thought for a long time: "I don't know if I don't fight, but judging from the current situation, if it is really an ancient snake, the ancient snake is avoiding us." It shows that it has a certain taboo on our strength. In addition, looking at this introduction, the ancient snake is a snake, and it cannot breathe underwater. However, it is not clear how long you need to breathe. ”

Gamble said: "You two don't think nonsense, and if you don't find any clues about the ancient snake, you can actually make up an ancient snake...... Anna, you just keep an eye on the bottom of the water for a moment. Sujia, prepare dinner, the others rest and sleep, and prepare for the night...... Do you want to fight or not?"

Whether to fight or not refers to the Holy See and the Goddess, and up to now, the Goddess family has not completely taken over the defense line of the East and West Straits, which means that the strike plan prepared by the Holy See cannot be implemented. However, the command brought good news, the family said that within three days, they would completely take over the defense line of the East and West Straits. Pontifical Pito said that once the family took over the East and West Straits, they would launch an attack on the first big monster within three days.

In other words, within a week, humanity will launch its first counterattack.

......

In the next few days, the number of night raids decreased significantly, and there were no more attacks in batches, scattered attacks in flocks of three or five. But this leaves the bait boat with no room to play. For two consecutive days, the Poseidon was released, and the other three bait boats only killed four Dangna birds, and in the past two days, more than 30 people in the country of Watts died because of the attack of Dangna birds.

The number of deaths is still acceptable, so the Poseidon has also relaxed, Fang Shi and Gan Bo's time to squat at the bottom of the sea is getting shorter and shorter, and everyone complains about the nightless cooking, Fang Shi has transformed into a full-time chef and a part-time water ghost.

A week passed like this, and the Holy See was completely freed up for combat power, and their first target was the Bean Great Beetle. That is, the big monster that appeared in Fang Shi's participation in the rescue of survivors. The big beetle seems to be very arrogant, and unlike other big monsters, it is exposed to drone detection every day.

In this operation, a total of nine Apocalypse Knights were dispatched, including Sword Rider and Mi Jia, and there were also fifty talented ability masters to participate in the battle, and their task was to expand the battle area with all their might, so as to ensure that no other monsters participated in the battle when the Apocalypse Knight and the Great Beetle duel. In addition, a group of forty Adepts are on standby on six planes, ready to be airdropped into the battlefield.

After destroying the big beetle, how to transport away such a large number of supernatural beings is also a very important part of the communication between the Holy See and the Planet Alliance. In the most optimistic scenario, hold a seaside runway and evacuate most of the Adepts by plane. The Stranger of the Royal Highness was picked up by seaplane by sea.

According to the Holy See's investigation and understanding, once the big beetle is eliminated, the number of monsters in the Bei Kingdom will not increase unnaturally. It means that there will be no new Hell Summoning Little Devils in Bei Country, and Dangna Bird and Medium Demons both have the ability to reproduce naturally.
