Chapter 648: Forced Landing
"Forced landing?" Franklin said stunned, "Is it necessary to do this? They don't have much left, if"
"Vice-Captain!"
Feng next to him clasped his hands around his chest and smiled: "It's okay, the meaning of the head is just to forcibly land, and it doesn't say that the other party will be wiped out, isn't it?"
"It's really troublesome, you have to control the force. Su took off the heavy sword and the scabbard, so that he could exert the slashing power of the heavy sword without really cutting the opponent. But this alone is not enough, Su still has to control Liliang well, otherwise there is no difference between a sword decapitation and a slapp.
Watching the others start to prepare, the most common action is to lower their energy levels in order to achieve zero requirements. Only then did Franklin realize that the degree of tacit understanding between Zero and them was really not something that a person like himself who had just joined could understand, but only a simple command could understand the true meaning of the order, and only partners who were born and died together could cultivate this level of tacit understanding.
(It's very similar, just like we were back then.) )
Franklin shook his head, focusing his mind on the present moment.
Zero Yao looked at the east bank of Ista and swept his gaze back and forth on the heavy artillery batteries on the three docks, then shook his head and said, "The distance is too far to attack outside the range of heavy artillery." Berrien"
"What are you doing?" asked Berrien, who was adjusting his energy level, looking up.
Zero said lightly: "Dismantle the three forts, as for the gunners, just don't die." ”
"It's easier for me to blow up the docks. Complaining, an electric snake began to flicker between Berrien's hands.
"Come on, Xiaobei!" Haiwei cheered him up.
"Long-winded, give me a quiet look from the side. Berrion clapped his hands and pulled out three balls of lightning when he parted again. After adjusting the energy of the thunderball, he locked the three turrets on the East Island before Berrien swung it out suddenly.
Suddenly, three thunderballs broke the waves!
"Watch out for the opponent's elemental attacks!Intercept!Intercept!Intercept!" Jesse yelled aboard the Sunken.
The heavy artillery batteries on the dock immediately opened fire, and three bright chains of bullets swept towards Berrien's ball of lightning. On the Destiny, Berrien's palm slammed down, and suddenly the thunderball disappeared into the sea. When Jesse and the other gunners on the other side didn't know why, Berrion suddenly smiled, his hand stretched out and his fist clenched. Immediately, three thunderballs drilled out of the cornerstone below the dock and accurately pierced the barrels of the heavy artillery on the dock.
The barrel of the cannon flew into the sky, the battery was full of electric snakes, and the gunner inside jumped out of the box. After only three or so steps, the turret exploded, and the shock air rushed from behind, knocking them off one by one. All three gunners were slightly wounded, but they were fine.
After advancing to the higher ranks, Berrien's most obvious improvement was in the manipulation of the elements. The elemental energy emanating from his hands is no longer blindly attacking and exploding, but can achieve the most perfect effect of his attacks through remote sensing. As a result, the ability to hit and be more flexible is greatly improved, which is exactly what makes the high tier scary.
After clearing out the most threatening battery, he shouted: "Ola! Full speed ahead! Target, thirty meters in front of the pier!"
"The rest of the men should be well defended, and when they reach the target location, they will force their landing, and make sure that their resistance is broken in the shortest possible time. ”
At the moment, the capable people on the Zero ship are almost all distributed on the side decks of the ship on both sides.
On Zero's side are Sue, Cayton, and Berrien. Over there, Franklin, Kaede, Yeliu, and Haiwei. Cinderella and Leah remained in the control room, the former being neutral, and as for Leah, someone with a sense of domain like her was not suitable for charge. Rather than this, she is better suited to use her abilities to enhance the exploration range of the Destiny in order to avoid some hidden dangers.
The Destiny's wings stretched out, spewing out a canopy of blue flames, propelling the ship toward the East Shore docks.
Jesse yelled as he roared from the ship, directing the soldiers on the dockside to fire on the Destiny. In the absence of heavy artillery batteries, soldiers could only attack with rifles in their hands. On the Sunken, soldiers are carrying cannonballs to the gun emplacements at the bow of the ship, relative to the speed of the Destiny. By the time they finished loading, they had already arrived at their doorstep.
In the ruins of the city on the east bank, an open space has been cleared to set up tents that serve as temporary quarters for the command team. Tent Riolan heard the sound of cannons and gunfire coming from the direction of the dock and immediately asked, "Has anyone told me what happened to the dock?"
A soldier must not tell her what happened, and when he heard Franklin, Orlan was on the march. Hearing that Jesse didn't believe Franklin's words at all and turned into the current situation, Orlan first sighed, then straightened up and said, "Take me over and see!"
Stepping out of the tent and listening to the gunshots coming from the direction of the docks, Orlan sighed. Knowing that because of Ulson's death, Jesse has blinded himself with hatred and anger to the point where he cannot make the right judgment.
On the Destiny, Zero One took the lead. The skin of his body flowed with a metallic sheen, but it activated the tempered skin. After greatly improving his defense, he staggered his hands and blocked countless bullets for those behind him. On the other side, Franklin was at the front of the line doing the same thing as Zero, but he was more exaggerated. The giant's hands were clasped together, and the skin on his arms carapaceed and multiplied, forming a shield as large as a round table.
Feng and the others hid behind this armor shield, and it couldn't be safer.
With the Destiny's accelerated propulsion, the ship soon reached the surface of the sea thirty meters from the pier. And this distance is enough for everyone to jump ashore.
"The battle begins!"
Zero ordered, and suddenly the wind behind him was agitated, but it was Su who crossed him and shot towards the other side of the dock. The side of the ship on the other side also made a loud sound of breaking the sky, and Kaede, Yeliu and Haiwei also jumped out one after another. Berrien stood by and watched, after all, his ability was mass destruction. Even if the energy level is reduced, it will definitely create more chaos when it is shot, but it is different from the starting point of Zero Order.
Zero stepped back and locked onto the Sunken directly ahead. He bowed slightly, and a bright red band of light like a streamer began to float from the fist of his right hand, and then the man leaned forward and disappeared on the side of the ship.
The next moment, the wind and waves were stirring.
Aboard the Sunken, Jesse watched in disbelief at what was happening in front of him. This strange ship, which had never been seen before, pounced on a number of capable people one after another, and they crossed the thirty meters of sea to directly board the dock, or grab the nearby ships. Rough or light attacks swept through the docks and ships like a whirlwind. And Ishtar's soldiers were so easily subdued, and Jesse was just about to intercept one or two capable people, but there was an awe-inspiring majesty coming at him.
He only saw a black-haired and golden-eyed man on the other party's boat suddenly disappear, and then he saw that the other party had appeared on the sea at the bow of the boat.
The fact that there is no connection between the two images shows that the speed of the comer has at least broken through the sound barrier. At this time, a wave was set off out of thin air on the sea, and the waves rolled up on both sides, like wings and chasing Zero one after another, marking the trajectory of Zero passing over the sea!
Zero's right fist, which appeared in front of the bow of the boat, retracted, and when it blasted out again, it turned into a palm. A palm slapped on the bow of the Sunken, and a circle of bright red energy ripples suddenly spread. From fist to palm, the penetrating destruction of the originally deadly sniper turned into a shock wave that continued to sweep along the bow of the ship. In the strong shock, the people on the hull of the ship all felt a faint force field constantly impacting them.
At the moment, except for Jesse, the rest of them were all directly stunned. The soldiers who were reloading the battery, as well as the other Ishtar fighters who were attacking with guns, fell to the ground.
After slapping the palm, Zero's body could no longer remain in a state of stagnancy, and the person fell down. But he grabbed the railing and pushed it up, and the man bounced. There was a tumbling in the air, and when he fell, he was firmly on the deck. On the bow deck, Jesse was now the only one standing.
Jesse yelled, his hand outstretched. The crimson sword behind his back flicked up, and he grabbed it. The man rushed in the direction of Zero, and slashed out with a sword.
There was a layer of looming ripples attached to the sword, and the ripples came out of their faces, and they took the first step towards Zero. Zero raised his arm horizontally, and the ripples swung on Zero's arm and burst into fluffy sparks. After that, the red sword slashed hard, but let Zero block it with one hand!
When there was a bang, the force of the shock made Jesse's mouth ache. But he still desperately pressed the red sword with one hand, threatening to cut Zero's arm and body in two.
"Stop!" Zero shouted, "We're not enemies, but we just had to land in this way." But if you take a good look, your soldiers are not in danger of life. ”
"Shut up. I don't welcome rough guests like you!" Jesse yelled, swinging his sword with one hand. The red sword pulled out the Dao Xiaguang and attacked Zero, and Zero kept blocking with both hands, so the sparks between the two continued.
With each block of a sword, Zero had to take a step back. In the blink of an eye, Jesse was already in the bow of the ship, and Jesse suddenly bounced up, and let out another powerful slash. The red sword fell violently with the momentum of breaking the mountain and breaking the river, and Zero had to stagger his hands to meet the heavy blow.
The moment the red sword and the arm collided, the invisible force field spread. The Sunken creaked, and the entire bow kept pressing, and the waterline went all the way up. Zero also gave this heavy blow and forced the person to crouch slightly, and Jesse gritted his teeth and continued to increase the force, trying to kill Zero in one go.
As the stern of the ship was raised high, some of the soldiers who had been unconscious on the deck slid towards the bow of the ship. If they continue like this, they may fall into the sea. Zero's eyes closed with anger, and in the midst of the loud shouts, the man stood up violently, and after pushing Jesse and the red sword away for a while, Zero flew up and kicked Jesse in the chest, instantly kicking him upside down like a cannonball.
Kicked Jesse away, and the bow of the ship stopped sinking. The stern of the ship crashed into the water, splashing large waves. And the soldiers who were gliding towards the bow of the ship finally stopped, or they had fallen into the water, which would have been no different from death.
Jesse crashed into a mast, causing it to tremble. The man bounced back to the ground and stood up with his sword. Jesse spat out bloody phlegm and was about to swing his sword again. But from behind, Oran's voice came: "Enough, Jesse, people have shown mercy, not to mention the people who saved us, what reason do you have to swing your sword again?"
"What are you talking about?" Jesse turned around and said angrily, "Oran, are you blind? I didn't see that Lao Tzu asked him to kick him away just now, can't I still pay him back?"
Orlan, who appeared on the dock, said coldly: "If he hadn't kicked you away, then the boat would have continued to tilt just now." When the angle exceeds 75 degrees, the soldiers on the boat will fall into the water. Then I ask you, what's wrong with him kicking you away, I'll do the same if I were replaced!"
Jesse was told by her that the soldier lay not far from Zero's side. A few shells on the deck had already fallen into the sea below the ship, and he snorted angrily from his nostrils, but he never attacked again. Orlan boarded the ship, and the Destiny slowly sailed over, and Franklin on the left side of the ship jumped onto the Sunken. The giant looked at Jesse, and finally his gaze fell on Orlan and said, "I'm sorry, I may have misunderstood Lord Jesse before." There is no way, we can only adopt such a rough landing method. ”
"Misunderstanding?" Jesse sneered, "If Ulson hadn't been there to get you on board, he wouldn't have let the Iron Scale follow." If the Iron Scale can't come, how can that Sauron guy swagger into Ista in King Arthur? Now you're coming to tell me about a misunderstanding? I don't think it's a misunderstanding, it's just a conspiracy. You may be like Deborah and Zolon's lackey!"
"Shut up!"
Oran snorted coldly, "The battle near the Tower of Fertility that day has already been witnessed by other soldiers. They can prove that Mr. Franklin and Lord Ulson have teamed up against Sauron, and that in that case, Mr. Franklin could have left alone, but he was seriously injured and captured. How could such a person be in the same league as Sauron. Jesse, sober up and stop being swayed by hatred. Otherwise, you'll be in danger if you go on like this!"
Jesse looked at Orlan and then glared at Franklin again. Zuihou snorted, put away his sword and jumped off the dock and walked away.
"I'm sorry, but Jesse still isn't mature enough. Oran sighed softly: "In his heart, he has always regarded Ulsen as his big brother and idol." The death of an adult hit him very hard, so he made such an irrational judgment. ”
"It's okay, I'm actually guilty too. If it weren't for me, Esta and Ulson would have said," Franklin said at this point, and paused, "This time I came back mainly to see if there was anything I needed help with." Oh, forgot to introduce, this is my current captain, his name is Zero. ”
"Zero?" Oran's gaze fell on Zero, and she was a little confused.
Franklin is a strong man in his own right, and Oran knows very well that someone like Franklin will not condescend to others. But from the tone just now, it seemed that the relationship between him and the man with an oriental face in front of him was already superior-superior. Orlan wonders what happened during the time that Orranklin was missing?
And why did the black-haired man in front of him come?
It was nearly dusk.
The Tower of Plenty, which was in the past, no longer exists. Most of the buildings collapsed, turned into rubble, and dissolved into the ruins of the city. Only a small half of the building still stands above the ruins, becoming a witness and symbol of the battle.
The explosion of the two nuclear power plants in the north and south divided the whole of Ista into what is now the East Peninsula and the North Peninsula through the energy transmission pipeline. The Tower of Fertility is located on the edge of the Northern Peninsula, and the scars left by the island's division after the explosion of the day tend to widen, and it is believed that Ishtar may soon be completely separated into two unrelated islands.
At the edge of the North Peninsula, at the very top of the small remaining half of the Tower of Plenty, something reflected the light of the sky.
It was a rapier, the destruction of Ulson. It sits quietly on the roof, facing the sea. Ulsen's tall hat was pinned to the hilt of the Darksword, and it was unknown who found it later. It's just that the hat has been scorched in many places, but Orlan still puts it with Darkness, just as Ulsen still looks at the steel city that he has devoted his life to.
"Your Excellency's body has been cremated, and the ashes have been sprinkled on the sea as he said before. So here, it became his only grave, and the assassination was his tombstone. I'm sure he's still watching us, and he doesn't want Ishtar to come to an end. No matter what, we will continue to fight until we have shed a drop of blood!"
On the roof of the building's ruins, Orlan spoke to Ulson's destruction and the tall hat. Behind her was Jesse, the young leader with a silent expression.
Both Franklin and Zero bow in front of Assassination as a sign of respect for Ulson, a brave man who died defending his ideals.
Orlan quietly wiped an unknown liquid from the corner of his eye, then turned around and said, "Okay, now Captain Zero should tell me the purpose of my visit to Isttar? Judging by Captain Zero's outfit and your ship, it seems that you are not from the Western Continent. ”
"I'm from the Middle Continent. Zero said succinctly.
Orlan and Jesse glanced at each other, and both saw the shock in each other's eyes: "Sailing across the ocean?
Voran, Oran forced composure. He added: "So you who came from the Middle Continent are planning to intervene in the Shili dispute in the Western Continent?"
Zero nodded, but shook his head again and said, "There is such a plan, but the starting point is by no means what you think." I'm not interested in the hegemony of the Western Continent. What's more, with an outsider like me, even if I overthrow the Papal Hall and annex your Ishtar and the pirate Liliang, this throne may not sit for long, and I will not do such a stupid thing. It's just that I hope to help restore order to the Western Continent as soon as possible, and maybe you will scoff at what I'm saying now. But what I still have to say is that in the near future, all life on this planet, whether human or alien, we will have a common enemy. ”
"That enemy can't be defeated by Liliang of one person and one country. So until then, I want to win as many allies as I can, so that I can add more leverage to the inevitable war. Zero looked at the remaining two leaders of Ista and said lightly: "From my personal point of view, the Pope's Hall and Sauron have an advantage right now. If you want to end the dispute as soon as possible, there is no better way to help him eat Liliang on both your Ista and the pirates."
At the end of the zero words, the energy on Jesse's body surged, and the killing intent and power that made people's skin hurt also burst out: "You are really still our enemy!"
