Extraordinary Voyage

Chapter 283 is on fire!

“Look! The tide is low, and there are a lot of fish!”

Someone in the crowd at the beach suddenly shouted, instantly interrupting the young man’s thoughts.

Looking up at the rapid receding tide, the beach instantly becomes extremely vast. Countless sea fish, starfish, seashells, and crabs linger on the beach because of the ebb tide of the sea. There are literally everywhere.

Whew——

“Come on! Hurry up!”

The tourists who were still playing at the beach rolled up their sleeves and rushed to the beach.

Even many gentlemen with obvious wealth and high-end formal suits also joined in. The fish may not be worth much, but just like fishing, they enjoy the process of catching and the joy of harvest.

“Quick! Kirk, there’s another one behind you.”

“Mary, what do you think I caught? A big lobster, that’s great! We’ll make cheese-baked lobster at noon.”

“”

The beach instantly turned into a sea of festivities, and everyone was enjoying the “feast” generously gifted by the sea. “.

They didn’t notice that the seabirds that were wandering in the vicinity in the sky suddenly made a mess, and then suddenly fluttered their wings and flew inland.

The animals kept in captivity by humans in the city also made a manic cry, breaking free from their restraints and running out.

“The low tide seems to be a lot earlier today?”

A middle-aged Captain of the City Guard who was on duty today on the shore took out a brass pocket watch from his pocket , looked at the time suspiciously.

Today’s low tide is at least an hour earlier than yesterday, and the magnitude is unprecedented. Even the rock base of the lighthouse is completely exposed.

“Strange!”

It was the first time the captain had seen such a situation after living in Nisk for so long.

Suddenly.

A legend he’d heard from a retired sailor popped into his head, and all the strange signs in front of him matched that legend.

Zooming hoped he’d guessed wrong. At the same time, he couldn’t help but speak in horror, and his voice almost changed: “Don’t go! Come back soon! It’s the tsunami!”

However, his reminder came too late, far away. A snow-white waterline appeared on the horizon, like thousands of galloping white horses, roaring in the blink of an eye.

Except for a small number of experienced sailors on the shore who have begun to retreat in advance, most tourists are immersed in the joy of the harvest, and have already penetrated into the exposed sandy beach without realizing the devastating impact. Disaster is imminent.

Rumbling——

It wasn’t until the huge rumbling sound that could not be ignored resounded in their ears, they were picking up seafood with their heads down, and they suddenly realized that it blocked the sunlight. The huge shadow cast by the wall of water has completely engulfed them.

Without giving them any time to react, the wall of water slammed down.

“No-!!!”

The dreams and futures of the rich, the poor, the parents, the child, the big brother, the younger sister, and everyone else were smashed in an instant. Smash!

In addition, the second characteristic of tsunamis is that, in addition to its high speed, its energy will hardly be lost in the process of transmission.

The wave height may be only a few meters in the open sea. When it reaches the shallow waters of the coast, the wavelength is shortened and the wave height increases sharply, which can reach tens of meters, forming a “water wall” containing huge energy.

At this time, even if the “tsunami” created by hundreds of sea monsters is not comparable to the real natural disaster, when they reach the shore, they will grow from the initial 1 meter to a terrifying 30 meters. !

With a loud thunderous sound.

The 30-meter-high surf engulfed everything on the beach, including the commercial port not far away, with the momentum of crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood.

oh la la——

Then without stopping, it crossed the coastline and entered the water city of Nisk, and attacked the entire city rapidly. Bridges collapsed, houses collapsed, and the residents had only time to scream before they completely disappeared into the huge waves.

You must know that as a city that is almost half-built on water, even the tallest building in the city is not 30 meters high!

However, it is not without exception.

The only thing close to the coast that could survive the tsunami was the sanctuary “St. Mark’s Church” favored by “Goddess of Kingship and Navigation”, the priest surrounded by this and the people who happened to take shelter here Also survived at this time.

Among them, there is nowhere else to go, and former “Harpoon” whaling ship chief mate Fisher and bad gambler Peeps have been renting here for free for a long time.

“God! Is this Divine Punishment?”

The young chief mate, whose face was much vicissitudes, looked at the huge waves whistled past by the beluga whale. The empty heart, which is empty of everything, seems to be filled with something else.

While everyone else fell under the Goddess icon to thank God, he muttered to himself: “If people had such power, would they not suffer any more?”

p>

At the same time.

In the face of this natural disaster of hiding the sky and covering the earth, the military port built on the Cape Mountain was of course impossible to survive, and the two cruise ships that were moored in the port collided with the surging water wall head-on. Then, all the facilities and buildings in the port were completely swept away under the robbery of the raging waves.

If it happened to be the “Cape Storm’s turn” today, or if it had arrived in Hong Kong half a day earlier, there would have been no escape from such a tragic ending!

However, although the port was destroyed, the bastion built on the sloping land persevered stubbornly in the tsunami.

The more than 1,000 garrison stationed in it should be grateful that the craftsmen did not have sloppy-work when the bastion was built.

The total height of the bastion is more than 36 meters high to withstand the baptism of the tsunami, especially the solid fort slope structure of the First Layer up to 20 meters, which greatly alleviates the impact of the tsunami.

clang! clang! clang!

In the continuous sound of alarm bells, Major General Coverdale’s silhouette is not tall, but it looks like a piece of wind and rain by the sea, But it still stands for thousands of years of reefs.

He stood on the top of the bastion, his cloak rattling in the strong wind that accompanied the tsunami.

The three successive waves of huge waves have ended, and the sea has slowly receded from both sides of the bastion. Trembling.

The Great Knight’s keen eyesight allowed him to take the devastated “Nisk” after the tsunami into the entire scene. The low terrain and vertical and horizontal waterways provided excellent conditions for the tsunami to exert its formidable power.

After three huge waves hit, 60% of the entire water city has become an underwater city.

The casualties were numerous.

corpses everywhere across the field, horrific.

But the disaster at the mouth of the “Leiden River” is just the beginning.

áo hǒu ——

Hiss ——

The deafening giant beast roared, making those who survived hard fall back into despair. Those were the five large species that were deliberately left behind by Huggins to seize the estuary to ensure their escape!

In fact, when the first tsunami hit, the mouth of the “Leyton River” in the middle of the southern Northern Sea headland was the center of the disaster.

Major General Coverdale watched as hundreds of giant sea monsters rode the turbulent waves into the inland from here and up the wide Leiden River.

Even the pirate throne ship with obvious features followed behind the sea monster and swaggered into the inland river by the skyrocketing water level in the river!

But as Alwin expected, even if the major general is a third-rank Great Knight, and even if there are more than a thousand defenders stationed in the bastion, what can they do to stop a battle? Tsunami?

Major General Coverdale finally understood, like Alwin, why the Pirate King didn’t care at all about revealing the location of the operation in advance.

Because he holds the absolute “Force”!

In this case, as long as the fourth rank is out, the tsunami is full of clay chickens and pottery dogs.

He could only issue alerts immediately, informing the city of Huggins along the rear of the attack.

In particular, “Golden Lion City” and “Brandenburg” used terns to transmit critical information in addition to sending out warning signs.

Flickering—

Watching the messenger terns soar into the sky.

He only hoped that the meandering waterways of the “Leiden River” would gradually offset the surging potential energy of the tsunami, and when the currents receded, the sea monsters, who seemed to be launching a “suicide” charge, would be trapped by themselves. Shallow riverbed.

It’s good that they are the “masters” of the sea, but the land is never their hunting ground! This kind of attack will inevitably make the sea monster army pay a heavy price!

However, Major General does not know if things will develop as he expected.

He only knew that for the sake of those citizens who lost their lives in the tsunami, he also had to defend the bastion and completely block the sea entrance, so that the sea monsters and the crazy pirate king who might return here would come and go. back!

“Send the ‘Cape Storm’ and the ‘Imperial Family Guardian’ to help immediately!”

According to the cruise plan, if there is no accident, the “Cape Storm” should be close to Almost arriving at the port, the “Imperial Family Guardian” just set off on another route, and it should not be too far from the military port.

As for other warships, it is useless to return.

He didn’t notice.

Flickering——

Before the garrison released the terns, two black shadows shot into the sky from the high ground near the mouth of the sea and swept to the upper reaches of the river valley.

Obviously, the tsunami intrusion brought not only a warning signal, but also an action signal of an unknown force

However, even if Major General Coverdale noticed it, he had no energy to do more. Mind your own business, because the battle that belongs to the “bastion” is about to start!

pa ta pa ta

Hiss! hiss!
