Monarch of Evernight: Twenty-nine fire breaks out
bsp;The aerial ship could not run far, and a turret suddenly opened fire. The rate of fire was incredibly fast, and the stream of fire was continuous. It hit the body of the aerial ship, causing its parts to fly away, and the fire was everywhere. . The floating ship only lasted a moment before it staggered to the ground and exploded into a fireball.
The turret then turned, and the fire flow hit another floating ship again. This time the result was even more outstanding, it was blown up in the air!
However, the loss of two aerostats could not turn the tide of the battle. There were still dozens of aerostats above Blackstream City. Among them, there are several large and heavily armored gunboats, suspended at a height that is beyond the reach of the turrets, and their ten-meter naval guns are constantly bombarding targets in Black Current City.
In the Dark Fire headquarters, Duan Hao and Song Hu gathered in front of the city defense map, both with solemn expressions. The roar outside the window is endless, sometimes shaking the headquarters building, and dust and plaster fall from time to time on the ceiling.
The city defense map is already covered with marks. Experts can tell from these marks that the entire Blackstream City's defense is riddled with holes and can only barely hold on. Only the defense line around Dark Fire Headquarters is still intact.
At this time, a soldier rushed in and shouted in a hoarse voice: "The East City turret has been destroyed! Now there are no turrets in the entire East City, and we can't defend it for long!"
Duan Hao raised his eyebrows and said, "I'll take the reserve team there!"
Song Hu grabbed Duan Hao, shook his head and said: "We only have the last reserve team left! This reserve team must stay at the headquarters, and you can't leave either."
"But sooner or later, Dongcheng will be breached, and their people will rush in!" Duan Hao roared.
Song Hu was very calm and said: "Didn't you notice that there are no marks on all the aerostats? They didn't want their identities to be exposed, so they either brought a large army over and wanted to completely raze Blackstream City, or If it’s the former, there’s no point in going. If it’s the latter, then there’s no need for you to go.”
"What do you mean?" Duan Hao frowned.
Song Hu said gloomily: "To get to us from the East City, we need to pass through most of Blackstream City. Now that there are so many mercenary hunters in the city, we can just use their hands to resist foreign enemies, and the civilians can also use them. I have Let people distribute weapons."
Duan Hao frowned and said: "Those hunters are just a mob, and the civilians have no fighting ability. If you let them fight against the opponent's elite private army, the casualties will be very high. At this time, we should secretly blame our own people. Reliable! ”
Song Hu took a picture of the city defense map and said: "No matter how heavy their casualties are, what does it have to do with us? We only need to hold the Dark Fire headquarters. If we hold on until the seventh master comes back, we will win."
At this moment, the window suddenly lit up, and an orange-red shell shot into the sky, knocking an armored gunboat parked at a high altitude, and its tail immediately began to burst into flames. Before the gunboat could evade, another cannonball hit the gunboat. Finally, it could no longer maintain its aloft and fell diagonally outside the city.
This cannon was too powerful and the shells were too eye-catching. For a moment, the gunboats in the air turned around. The anti-aircraft firepower of the Dark Fire Headquarters was extremely dense, but these aerial gunboats faced the anti-aircraft fire net and desperately bombarded the location of this heavy artillery.
Song Hu's expression changed and he said, "It's Miss Nangong and Hei Yue! Go over quickly and protect them!"
Duan Hao broke out of the window and ran towards the turret where the heavy artillery was located.
The hidden turret encountered concentrated fire, and its entire body exploded and burned. However, the heavy artillery still persisted in fighting back at a rate of fire far exceeding that of normal heavy artillery. In a short period of time, it fired more than ten cannons, hitting more than half of them, and knocked down two more gunboats. However, there were too many battleships in the air. Under the bombardment, the turret finally couldn't support it and collapsed.
Two slim figures rushed out of the fire, and Black Moon dragged Nangong Xiaoniao out of the sea of fire. Duan Hao rushed over, protected the two of them with the force, and covered their retreat towards the Dark Fire headquarters building. After they returned to the headquarters, they did not stop, but ran to another place along the secret passage.
A moment later, the firepower of a dark fire turret suddenly increased significantly, both the rate of fire and power increased by more than half. The fierce gunfire destroyed an aerostat in an instant. By the time the anomalous turret was destroyed, it had downed at least four small aerostats.
Song Hu made a mark on the city defense map and crossed out a turret with an eye-catching logo. Watching these special marks decrease one by one, Song Hu felt more and more pressure.
At this moment, outside Heiliu City, inside a floating battleship that was always hovering in the sky, the atmosphere was equally solemn. In the command room, a middle-aged man stood with his hands behind his hands, looking at the burning Heiliu City below, with no smile on his face. Everyone in the command room held their breath and remained silent.
At this time, an officer walked in with a slight sweat on his forehead and said: "The fleet commander Mr. Xu has received news that the Blackstream City's anti-aircraft firepower is too strange and fierce. Now the fleet has suffered heavy losses and is required to retreat for rest."
The middle-aged man in front of the porthole said coldly: "No! Let him continue to attack until there is only the last ship!"
The officer took the order and left. The middle-aged man looked at the battle situation for a while, turned around slowly, and said coldly: "Is this what you call a flip of the palm? This kind of firepower, these special heavy artillery, are not common even in the imperial counties, right? Why are they even No news at all? What do you do with all the spies you send to the city? Without Nan Hua, can’t you get any information?"
Everyone lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.
The middle-aged man said calmly: "Concentrate the fire! First blow open a section of the city wall, and then send all the troops out. If they can't defeat the black stream, then they don't have to come back."
No one dared to disobey at this moment. A moment later, more than a dozen troop carriers flew to Heiliu City, landed outside the city under artillery fire, and released groups of soldiers.
In the blink of an eye, the fire in Blackstream City was ablaze, and the flames of war spread throughout the city. Soldiers who have been ordered to fight to the death have no scruples in taking action and will shoot at sight of a living creature. The mercenary hunters and civilians in the city resisted desperately, and fighting was everywhere for a while, and the fighting was extremely fierce.
At this time, another officer walked into the command room and said: "General Lu has sent news that he has captured Wolf City and wiped out all the defenders. Now he is searching the mines in Wolf City to prevent destruction by the remaining enemies."
After hearing the news, the middle-aged man looked better. However, before he could be happy for a long time, another officer hurried in and said urgently: "Urgent report! The remaining defenders of Wolf City blew up the mine. General Lu fell into the cave and his life or death is unknown!"
The middle-aged man was finally moved: "They blew up the mine?!"
"Yes, my lord."
The corners of the middle-aged man's eyes twitched, and he gritted his teeth and said: "What a Song Qi, so cruel!"
Most everyone present knew the value of the Wolf City Mine, which was also the main reason for launching this raid. This mine can be said to be priceless, and it is too late to take care of it. Who would have thought that Song Zining would actually set up explosives in the mine and blow it up in one fell swoop. Such an explosion would very likely blow up the mineral veins, but Song Zining actually managed to do it. This kind of ruthlessness really made everyone feel chilly.
The middle-aged man suddenly became restless, as if something was about to happen. At this moment, a fire suddenly ignited in the night in the distance, and a reconnaissance boat burned and fell to the ground. By the light of the fire, several warships could be seen faintly flying towards Black Current City. Looking at the outline, it is clearly a cutting-edge battleship of the imperial military!
These warships obviously came with bad intentions, otherwise they would not have come up and shot down the reconnaissance boats on guard outside. Although there were many aerial ships besieging Heiliu City, their models were of various types, and most of them were restrained by ground artillery fire and were somewhat damaged. In terms of combat power alone, there are really not many ships that can compete with the several warships that are coming quickly.
The warships were approaching quickly, and the firelight illuminated the emblems on the ships. Suddenly, someone in the command room took a breath of air and said in despair: "Ningyuan Heavy Industry?! That's Song Qi's ship! He has so many battleships?!"
It’s not surprising that there are more old-fashioned aerostats, but these are all cutting-edge models, and even if they are available, few can afford to maintain them. Song Zining was able to gather several ships, which showed that the strength of the Ningyuan Group was different from what it was before, far exceeding everyone's expectations.
Shocked, the middle-aged man suddenly realized that if he was attacked from behind by this fleet, the consequences would be disastrous. As soon as he thought of this, he immediately ordered: "Send a signal, all warships will withdraw from Heiliu City and assemble at the predetermined location. The flagship moves forward to intercept Song Qi's fleet!"
The order was quickly passed on, and the flagship completed the turn first, leading three aerospace ships to face Song Zining's fleet.
Song Zining appeared on the bow of the first warship. He did not attack immediately. Instead, he let out a long laugh that shocked the whole audience: "Which sir is so enthusiastic and wants to visit Black Current in person? Can you show up to see me?" , Rong Zining expressed his gratitude in person? ”
In the flagship, the middle-aged man thought for a while, walked onto the deck resolutely, and said, "The Seventh Young Master's wisdom is as deep as the sea, and his meticulous layout is admirable. However, this place should be the property of the vampire Qianye, and maybe there are others The remnant of the Blood Clan, I wonder what the purpose of the Seventh Young Master is here? I have heard that the Seventh Young Master had a close relationship with Qianye in the past. Could it be that he is also colluding with the Blood Clan?"
Song Zining looked at the middle-aged man and said, "It turns out to be the third elder of the Kong family. I have heard for a long time that the third elder has far-reaching plans and is unwilling to be seconded. But when I saw him today, I was a little surprised. As the third elder, , how come there is no mark on the ship? Could it be that there are more than just members of the Kong family?"
The third elder's expression changed slightly, and then he said: "Of course they are all from the Kong family."
Song Zining sneered and said: "Not necessarily! In my opinion, there are probably a lot of thieves and bandits here, pretending to be the Kong family and doing whatever they want. It's fine if you don't let me see it, since you let me If you encounter them, you will naturally not let these rats go! How can the reputation of the Kong family be destroyed?"
"How good the reputation of the Kong family is, that is a matter for me, so I won't worry about it."
Song Zining nodded and said: "This is the best. There must be remnants of the vampire clan here, and I have to go and eliminate them, so I won't waste the time of the third elder. Farewell!"
The third elder instinctively felt something bad. Before he could say anything, suddenly light flashed in front of his eyes, and several powerful ballistae shot through the air. Looking at the light on the arrows, they were clearly designed to deal with heavy warships. Armor-piercing arrows!
The third elder was shocked and flew up to avoid the armor-piercing arrows. But he could avoid it, but the flagship couldn't. It took three armor-piercing arrows in succession. There was an explosion, and in the blink of an eye, thick smoke erupted, and the speed slowed down.
Song Zining's voice came from afar, "You idiots, with your rough hands and feet, how could you let the ballista go off!?"
