Chapter 287 Support still has ten minutes to reach the battlefield

After killing “Skull Eel”.

The garrisons who waited for the city to breathe a sigh of relief, and the “giant hammer mantis shrimp”, which had been wandering around the periphery waiting for an opportunity, finally landed on the land of the headland.

Whispering

Previously, it was unmoved by the charge of its companions. It was only after the companion was killed that Shi Shiran started to act.

In addition, the “giant hammer mantis shrimp” who plan to move is obviously more cunning than the “skull moray” who only knows how to rush.

Due to the unique design of the “bastion”, it ensures that the enemy will face the firepower of 2-3 fort surfaces at the same time no matter which direction they attack from.

With the lessons learned from its companions, it did not choose to take the lobe fort that seemed isolated but was actually covered by multiple firepower, but rushed to the “middle embankment” between the two lobe forts.

Although it will also be covered by the heavy artillery of the convex angle fort on both sides, there are only 8-pounder cannons and a group of musketeers lined up on the “middle embankment” facing each other.

This choice may not make much sense to humans, but it is the best attack direction for the “mantis shrimp”, which are huge and heavily armored and are obviously inconvenient to move on land.

This sea monster, whose real age can only be calculated in “months”, clearly shows a hunting wisdom that far exceeds that of its companions.

Swish

The colorful carapace with cold hard luster completely wrapped the whole body of this super mantis shrimp, like a train covered with iron armor, it opened its abdomen Countless slender feet, like a rat woman, meandered forward at a moderate pace.

bang! bang! bang!

bang-

bang–

The iron cannonball hit the carapace.

sparks flying in all directions!

It does not have the ability of [dangerous premonition] like the “Skull Moray”, which can avoid the projectiles flying towards itself, but its carapace is its strongest shield.

Superior biological armor gives it terrifying defenses while limiting movement speed and agility.

Two or three hits in a row in the same place is nothing but an innocuous chasm, not to mention how easy it is for a moving target to be moved by an impressively accurate front-mounted smoothbore gun. Getting hit in the same place in a row?

The defenders were not given more time to react.

It runs all the way to the bottom of the rammed earth buffer slope of the bastion, with its head raised high, where a cluster of slender tentacles like anemones replaces the place where the normal “mantis shrimp” should grow its tentacles. .

However, the tentacles will only give the sea monster more senses than the original.

The tentacles of the red head are constantly dancing, as if thinking about where to start, especially in the previous shell attack of the “water cannon humpback whale”, it already knew the rammed earth up to 20 meters below. The layer has a strong buffer, and its own attacks may not be able to work.

So

The tail rubs against the ventral surface of the tail section and makes a crisp “clicking” sound, like the loud drum beat of the army before the attack!

The upper body of the “Giant Hammer Mantis Shrimp” was raised 25 meters high, and even though the continuous close-range fire of the artillery had begun to shatter its shell, it didn’t care at all.

Because next moment is earth shattering!

Boom! ! !

In the dazzling flames, an entire ammunition depot seemed to have exploded.

The earth shook and the mountain quivered.

Countless masonry and soil were thrown into the midair, mixed with dark heavy iron cannons, unfired ammunition, and bloody human bodies like rags.

On the left side of it, the place where the “Middle Embankment” and the “Long Angle Fort” were connected has completely disappeared, and even the “Long Angle Fort” has been “blown up” in half.

Hundreds of defenders within this range were all destroyed in an instant before they could even say a word!

It was only then that it slowly retracted a jaw foot with three pairs of serrated teeth like a flat giant hammer. Obviously, the devastating blow just now came from this terrifying foot.

This is the terrifying weapon of the “giant hammer mantis shrimp” for preying and defending against the enemy, known as the predatory limb.

When it attacks its prey, it can eject a giant hammer with amazing hardness within 100,000th of a second. The high temperature generated by the powerful impact during ejection can even ionize the surrounding air and emit lightning. like fire.

And the tragic situation of the convex angle fort has made the best interpretation for its attack power!

“Click-click”

With one blow, the tail of “Giant Hammer Mantis Shrimp” rubbed the ventral surface of the tail section to make that crisp sound again, as if celebrating its victory.

However, this voice was heard by the guards who narrowly escaped in the bastion, but it was like a reminder to himself!

1/4/2022 of the bastion was almost destroyed with just one blow, how long would it take to destroy the entire bastion and everyone in it?

One minute or two minutes?

“The Giant Hammer Mantis Shrimp” uses absolute defensive power and absolute attack power, so that everyone who has just killed a sea monster and has not had time to enjoy the victory, instantly falls from the top of the mountain. The darkest abyss!

Ta Tata

Major General Coverdale, the Great Knight, who had just exploded with all his strength and collided with the “Large Species · Skull Eel”, has barely recovered by this time, stepping on the bastion. The gravel on the Second Layer platform went to the front of the team.

Knight’s Battle Qi has always been an explosive, extraordinary energy, and there is no such thing as a continuous battle with the enemy for three days and three nights.

With each burst, the intensity will only get weaker and weaker, until only the power of the flesh itself remains.

The Major General himself is very clear that after resisting the “Water Cannon Humpback Whale” and killing the “Skull Moray”, he may still be able to perform the [Profound Truth ·Steel City Shield Strike] once or twice. degree of explosion.

But there is no confidence in defeating this seemingly flawless enemy in front of him, at least not at all until it demolishes the entire “bastion”!

However, if you can’t win, you have to fight!

He faced the gazes of the officers and soldiers covered in dirt around him, slowly raised the long sword in his hand, and firmly declared his determination and oath to the soldiers:

“For the innocent people who died tragically!

For our fallen comrades!

For the king Your Majesty!

Fight to the death! No retreat!”

“Fight to the death! No retreat!”

“Fight to the death! No retreat!”

The soldiers shouted in unison, pouring their scorching cannonballs into the “Mantis” Shrimp”.

Sail downwind.

The power of the “Ship Head Statue·Monsoon Goddess” was full, and the “Cape Storm”, which had passed by the sea monster army, returned at full speed to help.

Thanks to the reconnaissance network that has expanded its scope again, Alwin has already taken the tragic situation of Nisk Water City and the estuary in the entire scene on the way. After the tsunami, everything was razed to the ground, devastated, corpses everywhere across the field.

Flickering—

Two white gulls fly over the ruins of the city.

The once-beautiful water town of Nisque is all but gone, with its beautiful buildings all over the city, its sprawling show plazas, criss-crossed bridges, and the restaurant I visited just before sailing.

Most of the several urban areas near the coast are no longer tiled, even if the buildings that survived by chance are on the verge of collapse at this time.

The crystallization of human civilization that has been built little by little over hundreds of years, countless treasures of art, and those who love music, painting, sculpture, and all beautiful things are all gone.

After destroying everything, a large number of sea monsters have been riding the huge waves upstream, and they don’t know where they are going, and the battle at the mouth of the sea has just entered the heat.

In the “bastion”, although the generals and artillerymen worked together to successfully kill a sea monster, the colorful “mantis shrimp” had already landed, and a “whale” was still firing “water” in the distance. Cannonballs”, Bastion has been in a situation of passive beating.

In particular, the range, formidable power and rate of fire of the “water cannonball” are comparable to those of modern artillery, while the front-mounted smoothbore gun in the “bastion” has a backward range, and there is no way to fight back!

When the seabirds brought the situation over there into their field of vision, the battle situation of the “bastion” was improving, and they had already won the first kill of the sea monster!

If you are facing a group of sea monsters on the sea, of course, you can slip as far as you want, and you must not do anything about throwing an egg at a rock.

But according to the five-headed, no, four-headed sea monsters that have been besieging the “bastion” so far, it is not that my side has no chance to make a dent.

Because he saw that on the other side of the headland, the battleship “Imperial Family Guardian”, which had also returned to voyage, had its head exposed, plus the “bastion” itself and the Great Knight class of Coverdale Rear Admiral. Strength, there is still some chance of victory in this battle

At this time.

Boom—! ! !

“The Great Hammer Mantis Shrimp” delivered its earth shattering blow.

The “bastion” that Alwin had high hopes for disappeared instantly 1/4/2022.

The slap in the face came so fast!

“This is the mantis shrimp becoming a sperm?”

Not only Alwin, but Milan, who has always been connected to the heart, instantly shivered when he saw this scene.

The mantis shrimp is a tyrant in the sea even if it is miniaturized. The pincers can release huge energy in an instant, directly smashing the shells of shellfish, and the giant body close to 100 meters long. It’s actually not surprising at all what kind of scenes the mantis shrimp can create.

As long as the “Giant Hammer Mantis Shrimp” makes three more hits, there will simply be no “whale” in the distance, and this “bastion” that survived the tsunami will also follow. Disappeared together with most of the Nisk water city.

However, the “Cape Storm” is still close to 60 kilometers away from the estuary. Even if the “Imperial Family Guardian” is a little closer, it is impossible to provide fire support at this time!

Alwin realizes that he has to do something, or he can really consider starting a deserter and escape.

Da!

Quickly retrieve a chest full of fluffy stuffing from the “Magic Pocket” and cautiously lay it on the ground.

Soon, the white seagulls grabbed the Dark Green’s [Powerful Voodoo Potion] in the box, formed a flying formation, and flew into the sea.

Then, the nine “Black Feather Frigate Birds” and ten “Great Albatrosses” followed closely from behind, but they were not holding potions, but alchemy bombs!

Looking at the backs of the seabirds and the distant coastline of the continent, Alwin murmured:

“Major General, hold on! There are ten minutes left for the air support to arrive at the battlefield!”
