Law of the Devil Chapter 560: [Bang! Bang]
Chapter 560 [Bang! Bang]
On the wide river, the water level has been much higher in the past because of the continuous rainfall in the north for many days.
This was originally a natural river in the north of the mainland, going eastward. Since the empire began to build the Kaspersky Defense Line three years ago, it has cost tens of thousands of labor and invested nearly one million gold coins. It took two years. The original river channel has been widened by more than double.
Especially the estuary that faces the sea in the east has been widened by more than three times, making the less famous river on this continent into the Roland Empire. Its capacity is only second to the Lancang Grand Canal. Artificial river.
All of this is just for the needs of war.
Each Imperial Sea Soul class ship is slowly moving. Because there was not much wind, the ship traveled very slowly, and the three-masted sail was the traditional white of the Roland Empire navy, and at the top, the thorny flag of the empire fluttered.
In order to operate inland rivers, these modified sea boats are equipped with rollers that roll in the water on both sides below the lower waterline of the hull.
On the south bank of the Grand Canal is one of the three fortresses of the Kaspersky Defense Line, the eastern fortress.
Three divisions of the Storm Corps are stationed here, and more than 100,000 troops are deployed to the north to defend the army.
Then the canal became a solid barrier to guard the northern and eastern parts of the empire!
This fortress is slightly smaller than the main fortress that General Rostock in the middle of the Kaspersky Defense Line personally defends, but it costs more here.
In order to make this artificial river an integral part of the eastern part of Kaspersky's defense line, this fortress was built on the south side of the river. In addition to serving as a moat, this river was wide during wartime. The river will become a natural barrier for the Imperial Army on the South Bank!
If the army of sinners wants to cross the river. It will be a very difficult job: if they try to use ships, the Imperial Navy can drive directly into the river from the eastern estuary to defeat the enemy on the water!
The Empire ’s navy has operated for many years and has experienced so many expeditions in Nanyang. On the water, this is definitely a trustworthy force! The charges may be powerful, but even Dewey does not believe that these orcs' shipbuilding skills can surpass humans.
If the other party wants to build a bridge, it is even more impossible to complete! The navy can easily destroy the pontoon with a sturdy ship. It may even be possible to let some sinners cross the river first. Then destroy the bridge, then the only ending for some sinners who cross the river is to be wiped out.
Sinners also seem to understand the difficulty of crossing the eastern defense line. At the beginning of the war, the sinner's wolf cavalry also saw an outpost that came to the other side of the river on the eastern defense line, but quickly retreated. It seems that there have been scattered activities of the monster race army across the shore. However, the opponent has been slow to attack.
It's the main stopper in the middle. Has gone through a series of brutal fights.
The fact that the orcs have clearly understood, they would rather use the flesh and blood to hit the solid city defense in the middle of the main plug, and they have never tried to attack this water line of defense.
At this moment, after several days of continuous heavy rain, the river is rising. This makes the river more open, and large warships of the Imperial Sea Soul class can easily enter the river, even in relatively wide areas. Can also be assembled into a complete naval battle formation!
At this moment is driving towards the eastern fortress on the river. It belongs to the third detachment of the East Sea Fleet of the Roland Empire Navy. Twenty-three large sea-soul class ships were loaded on board, all loaded with strategic supplies from the south of the Empire.
Because inland transportation is too expensive, after the war began, the empire's huge navy served as the empire's maritime transport team. Countless ports in the coastal areas of the southern part of the Empire have gathered all kinds of materials mobilized from the entire Empire South: weapons. Food, military garrison, armor, winter clothing, etc. The imperial navy will then carry the fully loaded ship along the eastern coastline all the way north, and then drive inland from the canal to the seaport. Transported to the front ground fortress.
Although these days there are successively rare rains in the north. But today is autumn, in the south of the empire. But still got an exciting harvest. It can be said that the powerful national power of the Roland Empire made mankind have war potential far exceeding that of sinners. With the huge rear supply, human war materials can be continuously added to the front.
This fleet is carrying a batch of winter food. In order to increase the capacity as much as possible, these large ships are only equipped with the necessary sailors and very rare combat arrangements. Most of the cabins are used to carry cargo. Already.
On the deck, as the sailors worked, they began to put up their sails under the command of the sailor, while some combat personnel stared nervously at the north bank of the river.
"Don't be nervous, rookie." An old sailor came over to take a picture of a newly apparently young man, and laughed: "I've been here six times. The monster army can't cross the river, they only I can go back and forth on the north bank. Tell you, we are safe on the water. They ca n’t rush into the river! "
Speaking, this old water with even rust on his clothes is pointing at the crossbow cannons covered with canvas on the deck and laughing: "Look! Have you seen those big guys?" These things are awesome! If those monsters dare to approach the shore, a shot over ... Bang! "
He opened his hands and made a movement fired by a crossbow gun.
At this time, people on the lookout suddenly dropped their heads and shouted, "There is hostility on the North Shore!"
This shout immediately alarmed the people on the boat, and many sailors immediately ran towards the right side of the boat.
Soon, someone shouted, "Hey! Look! There! There! Those monsters are there! Haha, just like the legend."
Most of the sailors didn't look fearful, pointing at North Shore with a curse and pointing.
On the north shore, between behind the river slope, black shadows one by one emerged from the bushes. The giant brown wolf with a long brown hair was grinning at the human fleet slowly moving across the river for dozens of meters. There was a hostile sob in his mouth.
And on the wolf's back, those wolf cavalry wearing thick but hard iron armor, green eyes under the iron helmet, stared coldly at the human sailors on the ship who laughed and cursed.
Waves separated by dozens of meters make it impossible for the wolf cavalry to attack the ship. Even if the giant wolf's ability to jump is strong, it is absolutely impossible to jump to the ship by tens of meters.
These wolf cavalry did not use bows and arrows, they just appeared in rows on the river. He cast cold eyes at the human ship, and some pulled out his long knife, sent it to his mouth, spit out the scarlet tongue, and gently licked the blood on the blade.
Some newcomers on the boat haven't seen this scene. Some people can't help changing their appearance when they see the monsters, but the old sailors who have experienced this scene many times have comforted their companions: "Don't be afraid. We are on the water, they can't help it. Yes! Unfortunately, they are too few, and last time we used them, these guys ran fast, and the crossbow guns couldn't kill them in large numbers. Otherwise, they were so close to us, and the captain had ordered the guns to fire. "
More unscrupulous sailors even made some humiliating gestures to the opposite bank.
"Monster! Come here! Are you afraid of water! Hahahaha!"
"Come on. Jump down and take a bath !!!"
"Oh, I like your fur! I really want to peel your skin and make a new coat !!!"
Listening to the sailors' scolding, the sir did not stop immediately. This war is now, and many soldiers are killed in front of them. There is a deep hatred between human beings and these monsters. The actions of the sailors are also normal.
It took a while for the subordinates to let go before the sailor leader passed. Kicked the **** of a few people fiercely, and opened his throat and scolded, "Don't play! Work hard! Hurry up! Give me back to my post!"
At the stern's helmsman position, a middle-aged man wearing the uniform of the imperial navy commander puts down his telescope and looks back from the North Shore. This is the captain of this ship, he frowned, suddenly glanced at the first officer next to him, and whispered, "I think it's something unusual."
"Nothing strange. They can stare at us on the shore." The chief murmured: "Captain. We have seen this scene several times."
"But I think it's different this time." The captain frowned, his frowns tightening tightly: "Remember? We saw enemies on the shore last night. It now seems that they followed on the shore We are all day and night. This has never happened before ... "
The chief mate thought for a while, and said, "Anyway, we are almost at the fortress, and these guys can't make any tricks, sir."
The captain groaned for a while: "Be careful. Pass my order and let all combat staff be on standby! The crossbow gunner is in place!"
The first officer immediately stood up and performed a military salute. He was about to respond, but at this time!
Boom! !!
A roar came from the bow! This roaring impact comes from underwater! Before the sailors on the boat had time to shout, they felt a violent shaking at their feet, and some of them were still standing by the side of the boat watching, and they were caught in the river water as soon as they were caught off guard.
The violent shaking of the hull instantly enveloped everyone's mind in a dangerous shadow!
"Sir, we have hit the reef." A sailor captain accustomed to walking at sea immediately came to report, and the captain immediately roared: "Stupid! We are not at sea! This is an inland canal! Artificial excavation! How is it possible? There are reefs! "
As soon as I finished speaking, I heard another "bang"! !!
This time the voice is louder than before, the ship's hull is shaking violently, and the captain's body is a fierce shiver, almost falling down. He firmly supported the rudder and roared: "What happened! "
"We hit something, it's underwater, right at the bow!" A sailor ran quickly to report back, but then a panic came in front of him.
"Below! Something is underwater!"
"Oh my god! It's a living thing! What a big shadow!"
"Ah! There is also on the right !!!"
The sound of howling is endless. At this time, the hull made a terrible sound of wood chipping! With a violent shaking, the next oil-filled officer in the cabin ran up, and Cangjie called out, "Sir! Our cabin is flooded with water! The drainage tank is all finished! Below ..."
"Send someone to drain! Bastard !!!" The captain scolded quickly: "Drain! Let your people drain! Plug me the leak! The leaking cabin is closed immediately! Hell! Did you get on board the first day? !!! Do I need to teach you these things! "
Before he scolded, he suddenly felt that the vibrations at his feet stopped abruptly, which was a moment of silence. As if with a hint of strange weirdness.
But the calm lasted just a few breaths. Soon, in the yelling of the captain, the hull suddenly tilted towards the right! !!
"What's going on! What's going on!"
People shouted in panic, but this big ship still seems to be slowly lifted up by something underwater!
The ship's hull is severely tilted, so that the bottom of the ship on the right is completely out of the water, and the bottom of the whole ship on the right is above the water! And the deck was heavily inclined. Many people didn't have time to catch things and soon slipped down to the other side. The sound of thumping was endless, and many sailors fell into the water with exclaim.
The captain clutched at the rudder's frame and was about to say something, this time, finally. Several huge black shadows slowly emerged from the right side of the hull! The shadow was getting higher and higher, and finally showed the entire face in front of the panic-stricken people!
The captain felt himself covered by shadows, and he looked at the right side in surprise. Whispered subconsciously:
"God! What are these!"
This is his last sentence.
Boom! !! !!
Finally, this sea-soul-class ship was overturned by the entire family, and the hull was flipped. Countless people fell into the water, and the ship was lifted to the bottom!
Beyond the river, several behemoths up to seven or eight meters above the water surface opened the horrible mouth and screamed in horror! !!
On the river, it's messy!
Du Wei felt asleep, and he slept heavily.
It can be said that since I became a magician. It seems like he hasn't slept so sweet for a long time.
Mages can use meditation to restore their mental strength. This means that most magicians do not need to sleep for the rest of their lives in most of their lives. I spent it on the bed, it was a waste for the magician!
Du Wei ’s strength has increased rapidly. As his strength increases, he gets less and less sleep. Most of the time. He used meditation instead of sleep. Meditating for three hours a day can not only exercise your mental strength. You can also save time sleeping to do other things.
But this time, Du Wei still felt a kind of long-lost comfort even in the unconscious state of dreams.
What he didn't know was that his body was also in his sleep, little by little, changing.
"Sleep, kid, sleep ..."
Chris smiled, standing in front of Dewey, Dewey was like a baby.
Chris still has blood on his fingertips, and above Dewey's chest, on the left side of his chest, is a huge mouth!
The exposed part, a red heart, is beating slowly and slowly ...
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang bang ...
Chris took a deep breath and then exhaled slowly.
In his mouth, a touch of milky gas spewed out, and soon dangled on Dewey's body. The milky gas turned into a ball of water and enveloped Dewey's body.
Chris then extended his hand and gently pierced the skull-like claws into Dewey's chest.
His fingertips are already pinched above that beating heart!
Bang! Bang! Bang bang ...
