Chapter 284: Golden Lion City

The medium-sized bastion cannot hold too many people, and the permanent garrison is about 1,200 people. Other defensive Power units were stationed in barracks on the shore and in outposts in more than 20 cities along the valley.

Before the tsunami, there were still about 1,000 soldiers belonging to the infantry regiment in the military camp in Nisk. Although the terrain of the military camp is high, it is difficult to say how many troops can be gathered after the tsunami.

Besides, when dealing with sea monsters, no matter how many ordinary soldiers come, it is useless.

So, with the bastions saturated, Major General Coverdale’s order to the infantry regiment barracks was to go to Nisk to rescue the people.

After the alarm bell rang.

All the soldiers stationed in the bastion have been fully armed and entered the wartime state, and the gunners have run into the fort of the Second Layer of the “bastion”.

Originally, there were also ground fort and a small outpost on the southern cape, but because there was no defensive power of the bastion, it was completely destroyed by the tsunami without firing a single shot.

The “bastion” on the northern headland has essentially become the last force to guard the mouth of the sea!

There are a total of 32 heavy artillery pieces in the four-corner bastion, and there are two 32-pounder guns Six Sect 24-pounder guns on each corner. Because of the solid foundation, the caliber of the guns that can be placed on the fixed fort can be changed. big.

Although this is only a medium-sized bastion as a defense force for the estuary, it has never been attacked by an enemy from the sea since it was built.

But there are still 32-pounder guns that Eight Sects are only equipped with on level 3 and above battleships.

Especially in the face of multiple sea monsters, they also transported the ten 8-pounder guns stored in the armory, which enhanced the firepower of the bastion once again.

Thanks to the unique design of the bastion, no matter which direction the enemy comes from, it will face 2-3 bastion faces at the same time, suffering from the scorching baptism of the fire network.

At the same time, the musketeers are also lined up on the “middle embankment” between the two lobe forts. If they are broken through by the sea monster, the firepower network of the peripheral cannons needs to be fired at close range with their muskets.

Even if musket lead bullets and cannonballs are incomparable, the formidable power under concentrated fire should not be underestimated.

whiz whiz whiz

Before the tide receded and the soldiers had just taken their places, the sea monsters were already driven by their human-hatred instinct to attack the bastion.

Fortunately.

The newly born sea monsters attacked without any rules, let alone any cooperation.

This also gives Bastion the chance to defeat them separately!

A strange fish has the fastest speed and the simplest brain. Its long body like azure black steel contains explosive power, and it can easily leverage its strength in the sea water by gently swinging its tail, accelerating continuously. .

With the hunting instinct rooted in the depths of the bloodline, suddenly left and right, churning from the water like a wild python.

“Load, load!”

The artillerymen on the side of the bastion facing this strange fish can’t help but feel their throats dry. They have been stationed on the coast for a long time. A terrifying sea monster that only lives in the deep sea?

The body is more than 80 meters long, and the long mouth is full of sharp teeth. A skull of scaleless snakes.

Where the skeleton connects to the body, there are many thick and short tentacles that keep squirming, like the hair of a Medusa terrifying!

Even if it has not yet entered the best range of the artillery, a bloodthirsty aura has already assumed the senses.

Hey! hiss!

“Open the song of sea monsters!”

The major general’s order was issued, and the day of the arrival of the “Cape of the Storm”, a new type of anti-sea monster weapon has been selected and fully arranged. .

Even though the “sea monster song” was set up in advance to deal with the possible attack of sea monsters, they didn’t expect it to be used so quickly, let alone to deal with so many sea monsters.

Although the headland is a piece of land that protrudes into the sea, it is next to a natural deep-water harbor.

Although the “sea monster song” is not directly lethal to the Large Species, aside from creating a relatively flat battlefield.

But with “sea monster song” at least you don’t have to worry about the sea monster diving over and landing from the shore, wasting several rounds of firepower within range!

Om——

Three “sea monster songs” placed in different positions work together to spread the infrasound waves with a huge increase in lethality far out.

The “Skull Moray”, who was only a few months old, certainly didn’t understand the three-dimensional fortifications of human beings, and it was the first time in his life that he faced artillery.

In fact, in its simple brain, even if there is no “sea monster song”, it simply didn’t think about attacking from underwater, because “bastion” is the only place nearby where a large number of humans gather, The instinct to let go of killing is reckless!

The bastion defenders usually have little actual combat, but their drills are impossible, although there is still a gap between them and the elite navy serving on battleships.

They still loaded up the ammo before the monster fish got close to its best range.

“500 meters away, target fish-shaped sea monster, fire!”

bang! bang! bang!

In the orange red flames and In the roar of artillery fire.

Behind the “Skull Moray”, a huge whale, a colorful mantis shrimp, a seahorse in heavy armor, and a huge monster that can’t be seen clearly have been stored up. Ready to go.

The other side.

With the deafening sound of the water, Hudgens and the horde of sea monsters rode the waves up the wide channel of the Leiden River.

The “Leiden Valley” is a livable area with abundant freshwater resources and flat fertile land. The tsunami set off by the power of hundreds of sea monsters is unstoppable. Like smashing rotten wood, it destroyed large fields and towns in the valley.

In just a few minutes, the homeland that has been gradually built by human beings for hundreds of thousands of years is returned to Barbarian Desolate Era.

And every time they pass through a town inhabited by humans, a small species will leave the team and rush towards the town, causing trouble for the defenders everywhere, further delaying their footsteps, preventing them from uniting, and causing the pirate ship to return home. trouble.

However, after entering the inland, the power of the sea monster was obviously suppressed, and the speed of the waves was restrained by the restriction of the river.

But despite this, they also advanced nearly 200 kilometers within an hour, and in front of them is the destination of their trip – the city of wealth “Golden Lion City”!

And this time, the warning issued by the garrison command, finally arrived here before the sea monster.

Bang——

The aide shoved the chairman’s office of the Netherlands Banking Corp., panting and hurriedly reporting:

“ Huchihuchi, Mr. Chairman! Emergency military situation!

A large number of sea monsters have broken through the sea and have been upstream along the Leiden River, along with a pirate ship, which is confirmed to be Huggins’s ship ‘Yongying’ ICON’, destination unknown!”

oh la la!

The spirited white-haired old man stood up from behind the desk, not even noticing that the important documents at hand fell to the ground.

Old Joel stared at his always shrewd and capable assistant with eagle-like eyes. The original calm and composed on his face was like a big stone was thrown, and his color changed instantly:

“How can the sea monsters in the deep sea enter the land? And the sea monsters and Huggins got together?!”

Because the land naturally suppresses sea monsters, at least in the recorded history of mankind There has never been a record of a living sea monster going deep inland.

Wei Wei calmed down and took a breath. It was Niske’s assistant in his hometown that replied in disbelief and deep sadness:

“There is news from the garrison headquarters at the mouth of the sea. , it is suspected that a sea monster set off a big tsunami, and, moreover, Nisk is already finished!”

The old man’s face was gloomy and uncertain, and when the assistant spoke, he already had a guess.

A large number of sea monsters can pass through the estuary, so of course the water city Nisk, the first checkpoint of the estuary, is the first to bear the brunt, and there is only a tragic and more tragic difference in the end.

What he’s thinking about is how an uncontrolled variable like the Kraken will affect his Golden Lion City and Bank Group!

If in this era of great sailing, the things that humans fear most are listed on a Ranking List, then the sea monsters are definitely at the top of the list.

In particular, their irresistible power and extreme hostility to human beings are their eternal labels.

If a traveler encounters a sea monster while out at sea, in the absence of a battleship escort or a powerful transcender on board, then it means that he has got a one-way ship to hell ticket!

Even if, like most directors, Huggins would not be so unwise to destroy the once “good” relationship between the two parties, there is no concept of collaborators and customers for the Kraken, when the time It’s really hard to say what happens.

As the chairman of the four-member committee of the Netherlands Bank Group and the governor of Golden Lion City, whether Hudgens and the group of sea monsters target the Golden Lion City or not, the old man must do it at this time. Make a decision!

“Send my order.

First, don’t give an early warning at the highest level, ring the alarm bell, and let all citizens leave the city and enter the pine forest for refuge! A team of City Guards will be dispatched to accompany the maintenance. Order!

Secondly, inform Mr. Great Knight Grace and the rotating wizards “Steam Division” and “Demoness” to prepare them for the challenge, especially the Third Layer Absolutely no loss.

Thirdly, take my warrant and personally mobilize our private army to board the city wall to buy time for the citizens to evacuate. No, I will go personally, but I want to see this Would a pirate king dare to step into the city of Golden Lion!

Fourth, go and pass the news to Jasper bishop of the Golden Peak cathedral, and ask him to stand by the Golden Peak cathedral, just in case , and use the last resort when necessary.

Finally, all the staff of the banking group will stick to their posts, and we must be worthy of the trust of our customers and the unbreakable reputation established by the predecessors of the banking group.”

The old man knew that time was pressing now, and he didn’t have much time to delay. When swift and decisive gave the order, he had already put on his formal jacket, picked up his cane and walked out of his office first.

da da da

When the two of them walked out of the office, the sixteen directors or their representatives who were resident in Golden Lion City had already received news and rushed over.

Behind them is a group of fully armed guards with high-end equipment, both male and female, but each is at least a formal Knight-level transcender.

Among the equipment on this group of transcenders, there are at least one or two pieces that shimmer with splendid transcendental aura, exuding an undisguised “local tyrant” temperament from head to toe.

“Mr. Chairman! As a director of the Banking Group, you should naturally be on the front line of protecting the client’s property. Please let us climb the city wall with you.”

Apparently what was being said was indeed the maxim that the “Netherlands Bank Group” had been around since its inception.

But most of them didn’t take Hudgens’ attack seriously in their hearts. Since they had crossed the water city of Nisk, the target was probably Brandenburg, the capital of Salt Lake County in the back section of the river valley.

These shareholders come from many countries, and they have no sense of belonging to the Taro Kingdom. Hudgens can play whatever he wants, as long as he doesn’t hinder himself from making money.

Standing up at this time, not only is there no danger, but also a lot of bonus points in the forces behind you!

Being able to stand up at a critical moment is naturally a sign of being able to accomplish things, and can be entrusted with heavier responsibilities in the future.

However, even passing through “Golden Lion City” was a shock to our customers and employees.

In the next transaction, it seems that the price should be increased. However, as the Black Sea Pirate King, Mr. Hudgens has always been generous in transactions, right? he he he

Up to now, they are still very optimistic. The long-term good cooperation in the past has made them maintain a habitual thinking and do not believe that Hudgens’ goal will be themselves.

A smile appeared on Mr. Chairman’s face upon hearing their invitation.

Most of these directors are his juniors. Since he has the courage and responsibility at this time, he is naturally happy for the successor of the bank group.

“Very good, let’s go meet this old customer together! No matter what the pirate king wants to do, since he passed by the bank’s territory, he should send us a note in advance!”

p>

There was a slight dissatisfaction with the action of the Pirate King. Although the wise chairman issued a series of orders in accordance with the emergency plan, his true thoughts of deep in one’s heart were obviously no different from those of his juniors. .

I’m still looking at the world from the perspective of a banker
