LOL: Summoner of Goddess Jana

Chapter 496 Curve to save the world?

Bilgewater, off sea.

In this world-wide salvation war, Shurima is defended by Azir, Nasus and other god warriors, and Ionia is also guarded by countless masters led by Karma and Irelia. ;
Both Noxus and Demacia are traditional military powers, with highly organized military power, tens of thousands of extraordinary warriors, and key trump cards such as Galio, Hidden Demon, Fire Demon, and Shadow Demon;

Although Zaan and Piltover are lacking in extraordinary strength, Shuangcheng, as the world's largest military production base, has a large amount of weapons and ammunition reserves, and a terrifying firepower strike capability, which is enough to make up for the combat power of the people of Shuangcheng. missing.

Only Bilgewater was inferior to the two cities in terms of firepower, and inferior to those extraordinary countries in terms of combat power. Except for Naga Kaporos, who would theoretically attack at the last minute, there were only some conventional technological weapons left.

Looking at it this way, Bilgewater is the area with the greatest defensive pressure, and it is the weakest link among the leaders' many defenses.

For this reason, Li Wei specially put Tam on standby at any time, in order to draw experts from other relatively good battlefields at critical moments, and be ready to rush to help Piraeus Port at any time.

However, the fact is
Compared with other places, the battlefield situation in Bilgewater is the easiest and most controllable.

"Commander Sarah, thanks to your wise decision this time." Illaoi said sincerely.

This may sound like flattery to the leadership, but it is an indisputable fact.

Because it was Sarah who accurately judged that it was impossible for Plank to launch an attack from inside Bilgewater, the attack would definitely come from the sea, and she made the correct decision to intercept the enemy from the open sea.

That's why the Navy, the leader in the future, met Planck and others on a narrow road at sea.

This gave Bilgewater an advantage over other battlefields.

That is, the moment the enemy launched an attack and the plane channel was opened, the leader's army had already assembled and rushed to the scene ahead of time.

When the leaders in other regions rushed to the scene of the attack, the undead gushing out from the underworld were often too numerous to flood.

So they could only rely on head-to-head combat to suppress the enemy's offensive, and use their lives to block the increasingly raging wave of undead.

And in Bilgewater.
Not long after the gate of the underworld opened, and before the undead had had time to pour out of the plane passage, the tens of thousands of artillery loaded on the thousands of ships had already aimed at the densely packed cannons. The enemy's "spawn point".

And on the dim sea surface of the setting sun, the wide door, which was so eye-catching and glowing with pale fluorescent light in the darkness, was simply the best artillery target.

The monster's refresh point is fixed, and there is such a good target standing there.

Even without the help of divine power and the help of the "Blue Bird Ballistic Accurate Correction System", the shells of the Bilgewater leader can still easily hit the target area.

So, the process of this battle became like this:

The undead poured out of the plane channel, and the leader fired.

Under the ravages of this high-density artillery coverage and saturated firepower strikes, the undead could only perish quickly in the flames.

Then the undead poured out of the plane channel, and the leader fired;
The undead poured out of the plane channel, and the leader fired;
Mordekaiser's army of undead seems to have become a child of experience who was blocked at the door of the house by the leader of Piraeus Port.

As soon as the enemy emerges, the leader will reap a crop.

The undead had no time to spread out and condense into waves in the mortal world, and they were blown up into gorgeous fireworks by the dense iron rain that fell on the head, and by the thousands of shells.

On the contrary, there are a few undead elites like Planck who can bravely rush to the front of the leader's fleet against the devastating intensive artillery fire.

But these very few fishes that slipped through the net could not shake the leader with a large number of people.

On the leader's side, Illaoi and other priests of Baru are helping, as well as Lucian and Senna, two sentinels of light who can restrain the undead.

Among them, Miss Senna performed particularly well.

She has the unique ability to absorb the black mist of the soul, and can absorb the soul fragments of the fallen enemies into black mist to strengthen herself.

As for the undead who died under the cover of artillery fire, there were already tens of thousands of them.

Senna just boarded the boat and circled around twice, and her experience increased steadily, thus becoming the most powerful transcendent in the field, even Illaoi, who had the blessing of the snake mother, could not match.

Planck and the others didn't even have time to rush up, but she was shot by her at a distance of thousands of meters.

The miscellaneous soldiers could not withstand the bombardment, and the number of elites who could withstand the bombardment was insufficient, and they could not break through the defense line of the leader.

Mordekaiser's spiritual sea tactics are completely ineffective here.

Looking from a distance, the sea of ​​undead, which can be seen in other regions, can't be seen at all on the sea, and the will-o'-the-wisp fluorescence that covers the sky and the sun can't be seen.

There are only diffuse gunpowder smoke, steaming water mist, dense cannons like drums, and brilliant sparks that are constantly blooming.

That's why Illaoi sighed: "Sarah, thanks to you this time."

"Now is not the time to celebrate, Illaoi." Sarah was not so optimistic.

She looked at the fire that was constantly blooming like fireworks, and the sea surface that was constantly churning like boiling water, but her eyes were full of solemnity.

Because there is a question that always haunts her heart: "How many undead are there behind that gate of the underworld?"

This could be a nearly infinite number.

But the remaining ammunition reserves of the leader's fleet must be a limited number.

"We've had 337 civilian ships run out of ammunition and have to withdraw from the battle."

Regardless of the majesty of this fleet, in fact, among the thousands of ships of various types present, [-]% of them are civilian ships that came to support spontaneously.

Although these civilian sailors are also leaders, they have a strong will to fight.

But after all, they are civilians, not professional soldiers, and they were temporarily incorporated into the fleet hastily, without even establishing the most basic command system.

Sarah couldn't micromanage and command so many fragmented civilian ships.Everyone fights in their own way, and firing depends entirely on feeling.

She wanted to command the fleet to fire alternately in batches, saving ammunition as much as possible.But this simply cannot be done.

In addition, these armed civilian ships are not warships specializing in naval warfare, and there are not many artillery and ammunition on board.

As a result, many civilian ships quickly ran out of ammunition and had to retreat to the side to watch.

"If this continues, there will be fewer and fewer ships that can participate in combat, and the ammunition will become less and less sufficient."

"And if we haven't won the victory when the ammunition is gradually exhausted and the firepower is gradually insufficient, then..."

Sarah sighed worriedly, "Then we're dead!"

Saying that, she looked at Illaoi anxiously again.

"This" Illaoi probably understood.

She knew that Sarah was not a person who liked to complain, even if the situation was really that hopeless.When Sarah said these words to her, she really meant to say:
"Illaoi, can you ask Naga Kaporos again to see if he can help?"

The situation is really bad, Sarah asked straight to the point.

"I'll try." Illaoi closed her eyes, and while she was chanting the ancient Baru sacrificial rites, she prayed devoutly to the gods in her heart.

Finally, she opened her eyes again.

"What did the snake mother say?" Sarah asked impatiently.

"Naga Kaporos is very satisfied with your performance." Illaoi said, "He has seen your battles all over the world."

"This is the greatest 'movement' of all time that He never appreciated."

"You did a great job."

"So?" Sarah's eyes were full of expectation.

"So." Illaoi replied helplessly, "Just keep doing it."

"Mother Snake trusts you."

Sarah: "."

"Sarah." Illaoi sighed, "As I said, Naga Kaporos is not a benevolent patron saint."

"You cannot depend on him."

Sarah was silent, turning her head to look at the continuous artillery fire.

Of course she knows that Naga Kaporos is not a savior who responds to every request.

But now, seeing that the ammunition is gradually running out, and Goddess Janna has no results, what else can she rely on if she doesn't pray to Naga Kaporos?

A spiritual atomic bomb is not a real atomic bomb after all.

No matter how firm the faith of the leader and how strong the willpower is, it is impossible to drive an empty ship without ammunition and block the endless waves of undead in this vast sea.

And once it cannot be stopped at sea, and the army of undead lands and enters Piraeus Port, then it is unknown how many souls will perish and how many families will be ruined because of this.

The hometown she finally liberated will fall into hell again in a blink of an eye.

"No." Sarah clenched her fists secretly: "I will never allow it!"

She called the adjutant and conveyed the order: "The order—"

"Use the radio to notify all civilian ships participating in the war not to stay on the battlefield after running out of ammunition. Let them return to Bilgewater as soon as possible, and join the citizens behind to participate in the construction of the coastal defense line!"

"At the same time, notify all naval ships to select sailors with superior physical fitness and good at melee combat, and return to Hong Kong in lifeboats to assist in defense before the ammunition is exhausted."

"The rest stay, stick to it!"

"Yes!" The adjutant hurried to convey the order.

But Illaoi has already sensed her determination from her soft and resolute face: "Sarah, you."

"Do you want to choose to keep the naval warships as death squads, help more people withdraw to Piraeus Port after the last moment, and continue to meet the enemy on the coast?"

"Yes." Sarah explained in detail: "Once the ammunition is exhausted, we will no longer be able to stop the enemy in this vast sea with these empty ships that have lost their minions."

"Withdraw to the coast and rely on the terrain to fight a land defense battle with the enemy, maybe there is still a slight chance of winning."

"And retreating always requires someone to break the rear."

The ones responsible for the break can only be the soldiers who lead the way.

"You" Illaoi's tone was moving.

She saw it from Sarah's decisive eyes: the "broken person" in Sarah's mouth also included herself.

"But you are the commander of the fleet." Illaoi couldn't help persuading: "You can't die."

"You are dead, who will command?"

"Raven will complete this task for me." Sarah sighed: "He is the mayor of Bilgewater now, and he has been in charge of the defense of the coast and the city from the beginning."

"And I am the commander of the leader's naval fleet."

"Now." As she spoke, she gently stroked the commanding platform of the warship in front of her: "The naval fleet is almost gone, what am I, the naval commander, still doing alive?"

"Sarah." Illaoi wanted to persuade again.After more than two years of working together, she and Sarah have become good friends.

"Don't try to persuade me anymore." Sarah shook her head: "I am the commander of the fleet, and I am the most trusted person of the soldiers. If I don't stay behind, why should I let them stay here?"

"Because we are the leaders!"

At some point, everyone in the cockpit of the warship looked over with complicated eyes.

Whether it was high-ranking generals like the captain and deputy captain, or low-level non-commissioned officers like the helmsman, signalman, and radar soldier, everyone looked over without hesitation.

There was also wavering and fear in their eyes, but in the end, all that remained was firmness.

"Commander Sarah, we are the leaders."

"We don't need anyone to stand up and set an example for us - we are an example for others, and we are willing to sacrifice for our ideals!"

Sarah: "."

She finally realized that she still underestimated the leader.

The soldiers of the leader are all soldiers of faith.

No coercion, no deceit, no need for superiors to inspire people like the old generals of Demacia
All it takes is an order, all it takes is for them to know what they're fighting for, and they're willing to die.

"Okay" After a while of silence, she finally said emotionally: "Then I will stay with you!"

"Commander Sarah!" Everyone discouraged excitedly.

"Okay, okay." Sarah smiled freely: "I, the commander of the fleet, will soon be useless, and I will not be able to make more contributions to this war if I survive."

"You are the leader, and I am also the leader."

"You are willing to sacrifice, why am I not willing?"

Another moment of silence.

This time, no one spoke out to stop it.

Everyone quietly looked at Sarah's fiery eyes, and formed a silent oath with their same firm eyes.

They want to stay and buy more time for the fleet and the soldiers and civilians behind!

They will fight to the end and die!

"Wait!" At this critical moment, someone interrupted them.

Everyone has already written a suicide note in their hearts, and this sound came at a very inopportune time.

If it was someone else, Sarah would definitely follow the sound and stare back viciously.

But now it is said:
"President Li Wei?" She looked at the blue bird incarnation standing on the podium in astonishment.

"It's me." Li Wei's voice came clearly from the broadcast of the blue bird incarnation.

That familiar voice excited every leader present.

Li Wei won't call if he has nothing to do.He contacted them at this critical moment, could it be.
"Goddess Janna has already defeated Mordekaiser and won the final victory?" Sarah asked impatiently.

"No, she hasn't." Levi's answer was disappointing.

"That?" Sarah and the others were not in a hurry to question, but carefully waited for Li Wei's next words.

I just heard Li Wei say: "Cease fire and retreat, everyone."

"Save the ammunition for your own protection and let the undead come over. As long as the undead haven't hurt anyone, don't fire back."

"Huh?" Sarah was slightly taken aback.

"You, what did you say?"

"I said cease fire, stop fire and retreat now." Li Wei issued an incredible order: "Stop blocking the passage exit and bombing indiscriminately, let the undead return to the mortal world."

There was a short, delicate silence.

Everyone present stared at each other with wide eyes, and then
"Bastard!" Sarah yelled, "Li Wei, you shameless traitor!"

"You want my old lady to give up resistance and let those devils in without firing a single shot?"

"Say it! Bastard, have you already taken refuge in Mordekaiser and become a traitor who leads the way to the underworld?"

The founders of the Association of Leaders actually surrendered and became the leading party?

Everyone couldn't believe it, and couldn't bear this heavy blow.

But Li Wei's outrageous order calling on everyone to kneel down to give up resistance and welcome the master of the underworld made everyone have to doubt him.

"Stop." Li Wei reminded helplessly, "What are you thinking about?"

"Think carefully—if I surrender and become a leader, how can I use the blue bird avatar to contact you?"

"Uh..." Sarah finally reacted belatedly.

Indeed, the incarnation of the blue bird is more effective than the thread of faith, and it is the best proof of the status of the leader.

If Li Wei had surrendered to Mordekaiser and taken the route of "curve to save the world", then he would have changed from a leader to a shameless enemy of mankind—the goddess Janna would not be able to convey this order for him.

Therefore, Li Wei's trick of "leading the bandits into the customs" must have other deep meanings.

"President Li Wei, why?" Sarah still asked worriedly: "Why do you want us to cease fire and retreat?"

The enemy is like a never-ending flame.

If you let go and let it burn, and when the flames turn into a prairie fire, they can no longer suppress it.

So, why did Li Wei ask them to do this kind of suicide?
"Because among the tens of thousands of undead, there are our comrades." Li Wei brought everyone an incredible news: "At this moment, they have arrived at the entrance of the mortal world—"

"They will return to the world soon, and contribute their last strength to Mordekaiser's demise!"
