On the Seven Towers

Mermaid Mage Trina seemed a little irritated by Xiao Chen's ridicule. She didn't answer Xiao Chen anymore, but pursed her lips and waved her hand to order her subordinates to attack the sea tribe army. The scale tribe slaves behind the ships moved at once and began to push the ships forward.

Xiao Chen had learned enough information from each other and warned them. Since these sea tribes ignored his warnings, it was no wonder that he used those means later.

Xiao Chen raised his right hand.

The Houyi and Xingtian, which had been silent, seemed to have suddenly awakened and began to speed forward. Figures began to emerge from the gun ports below the guardrail of the deck. The two ships began to turn to the same side and aimed the side of the ship at the sea tribe ships that were rushing over.

Many soldiers holding air guns and magicians holding staffs appeared around Xiao Chen. They were all elite soldiers from the newly established Marine Corps. The two ships carried a battalion of more than 300 marines and four magician squads that cast spells together, totaling 40 magicians.

The air guns in the hands of the marines were already Type 05. After several upgrades, the Type 05 air guns were much more powerful than the original Type 01 air guns. Not only were the range and power greatly improved, but the bullets were also increased to ten rounds per magazine. In addition to the standard type, high-precision sniper rifles and machine guns with belt feeds have also been derived.

Now, four Type 05 machine guns have been set up on the upper deck of Houyi, aiming at the sea soldiers in the distance. And more than a dozen soldiers at the bow and stern set up Type 05 sniper rifles, aiming at the mermaids who looked like mages on each ship.

The pneumatic guns on the two decks below also began to turn their directions, and as the gunners operated, they began to aim at the ships on the sea one by one.

The sudden changes in the two Chinese ships shocked the advancing sea warships, and their speed slowed down by several percent.

The sea tribesmen who were ready to go suddenly panicked. Those on the boat no longer had the confidence they had just now. They began to look around or look at the mermaid mages who were responsible for making decisions. Although they didn't know what these large and small metal pipes were, after dealing with the magic crossbows of the southern city-states, it was not difficult for them to guess that these were weapons.

However, the most surprised among all the sea tribes was Trina. She thought Xiao Chen was the only mage on the other side who could withstand the singing, but the facts slapped her in the face. Seeing that the other side's ship was densely packed with people from top to bottom, she knew that the Sleeping Song that she was proud of had completely failed, and even the holy weapon didn't work for some reason. The ambush she had spent a lot of effort on turned into a hard fight, and the other side seemed to have been prepared and looked very confident.

"You, how could you all be awake? People who are not strong enough in my singing can't hold on at all!"

Xiao Chen's hand was still raised, and he said to Trina from a distance: "I'm so sorry, I just wanted to test your purpose just now. Your plan has no effect at all and has completely failed. Now you choose to retreat. Otherwise..."

Trina was a little confused, but at this point she had no way to retreat. Whether it was to invite the holy weapon or to gather this team, she had paid a great price. If she went back in disgrace without doing anything, her status in the tribe would plummet. She glared at Xiao Chen fiercely, gritted her teeth and said: "Don't pay attention to the nonsense of these humans! Their ship is big, but we have more people! Attack!"

Xiao Chen sneered and put his hand down.

Captain Ma Anmin saw his instructions and immediately issued an attack order, and the observer on the Xingtian on the other side saw Xiao Chen's actions and also conveyed Xiao Chen's instructions to the captain.

The gunner gave the order to fire, and the gunners pressed the firing button on the pneumatic guns. More than 30 180mm pneumatic guns on the side of the Houyi and Xingtian ships had already adjusted the firing parameters and loaded the shells, and fired at the same time at this moment.

These pneumatic guns made a dull sound, and shells whizzed towards the other ship.

However, this was the first actual combat at sea for these gunners after all. The first round of volleys of the pneumatic guns of the two ships basically did not hit the target.

For this expected situation, the gunner on the Houyi was unmoved and ordered the gunners to modify the parameters and continue shooting.

There were several mages around these gunners, who constantly gave them the magic of precision and eagle eye. These two kinds of magic improved the gunners' hit intuition, making the subsequent shooting effect better and better.

Since the sea clan ships were very close, Hou Yi had already formed a cross-fire in the third round of shooting, and the slightly inferior Xing Tian also achieved a cross-fire in the fourth round of shooting. Since the sea clan ships were very dense, the gunners also fired several near misses in this shooting.

One of the shells fell on the group of scale clan slaves behind a sea clan warship. The fuse of the crystal shell touched the body of a scale clan member, and the shell exploded, raising a blood wave in the water. A big hole was opened on one side of the sea clan warship, and countless broken limbs in the water were thrown into the sky and then scattered on the deck. The sea clan who originally thought that the other party was throwing stones were stunned. They couldn't understand where this power came from.

In the fifth round of bombardment, a shell landed on the deck of the sea clan warship. The mermaid mage and his guards who were standing there were blown away without a trace in the explosion. The sea clan members who were a little further away were shocked to death with blood flowing from all seven orifices. Only one shark warrior, who was physically strong, survived the attack at a relatively close distance, but a large bloody wound was also opened on his back, and he knelt on the deck and could not move. This shell killed half of the sea clan members on the deck.

This bombardment was also fatal to the ship. A large hole was blown in the middle of the deck, and the broken planks directly pierced the bottom of the ship. The mast fell down with a creaking sound, making the ship completely unable to move. The seawater overflowed from below, causing the ship to begin to tilt.

Everyone around could see that it would not take too long for the ship to sink.

Trina stared at the sinking warship in a daze. She had never imagined an attack of this magnitude. There was obviously not much magical fluctuation, but the metal projectiles exploded with such great power. However, it was too late to retreat.
