Chapter 588-Making a CP
The roar of the gas turbine shook the sea, and the 7,000-ton frigate roared forward.
The double-axis, four-bladed propeller spun vigorously. The blades strengthened by the element of Paragon were as sharp as blades. They stirred up a powerful swirl in the water, pushing the ship and building a domain of death.
In the chaotic and deep water, the exotic beasts that were swimming back and forth were drawn into the water by the strong suction force. They were sliced into minced meat and turned into spurting blood that drifted backward.
As the blood boiled, the Knight Astolford braved the wind and waves.
Kant stood at the top of the spherical 3D phased array radar against the strong wind and surveyed the surrounding waters.
The area that was bombarded by Horus had yet to dissipate. Countless pieces of flesh and blood floated in the water. Terrifying monsters crawled out of the water, opening their bloody mouths to devour the flesh and blood of their own kind. On the islands, merchant ships, and docks that could be seen everywhere, dense monsters brazenly landed. Like a plague of rats, they swallowed the people who could not escape in time.
Even though he had been through hundreds of battles, Kant still felt his scalp tingle when he saw the scene before him. This was a double nightmare of trypophobia and monster phobia. The combination of the two fears was like a brain exploding in blood. Why was this happening?
” They're attacking indiscriminately,” Kant said in a deep voice.
“Yes!” Horus replied,” This shouldn't be the usual method of the Broken Islands.”
Kant said coldly,” Of course not. If they had the ability, they would have unified the world's maritime trade map long ago. They could even establish a country. But I don't think it has nothing to do with them.”
“Agreed…” Iron Son said,” The timing is too coincidental.”
As they spoke, the Afu had already soared to 29 knots. This speed was enough to stand out among the main-force ships and even light ships in the other world, but it was still too slow for water-type creatures.
Undercurrents were surging beneath the surface of the sea. Even though they had suffered heavy losses here, even though their own kind had bled and their limbs were broken, more monsters were still charging toward them fearlessly. Even though the massive firepower of the ship poured guns and ammunition into the water, causing blood to roll, they still tried to leap up and rush to the deck.
Blazing flames surged out.
The liquid column flamethrowers that Kant had brought with him were integrated into the weapon system as quickly as possible. Dozens of fire dragons shot out fierce dragon breath from above. The scorching heat evaporated the seawater and burned the monsters that tried to jump out of the water. However, the intense pain and the threat of death did not make them retreat.
“You can tell?” The Fire Stealer's face was cold.
“Yes.” Horus replied,” We've already established a preliminary model of its behavior. It has a well-developed nervous system and strong combat instincts. It has its own consciousness and judgment. According to the laws of nature, a predator of this size must have the instinct to seek advantages and avoid harm. It will retreat when it encounters danger and is even unwilling to let itself be injured.”
“After all, survival and reproduction are the instincts of normal creatures. The so-called animals have the qualities of courage and pride. It's just a far-fetched and boring imagination of the scholars, but…”
” But these creatures are different,” the Transformers said.” There are a lot of them. They are like soldier ants and worker bees. They are more fearless than the former. Although we lack the necessary data and intelligence, we can almost conclude that…”
“Biological weapons,” Kant continued.
“.. Almost.”
Gunfire rumbled and smoke spread. The violent noise was isolated by the soundproof barrier. The conversation at the top of the phased array radar was restricted to the father and son. Kant frowned.” How troublesome.”
There were many of these hostile creatures, and they were almost endless. Kant used his Phoenix Vision to scan the vast sea within the Broken Archipelago. There were barely any spots of life beneath the surface of the sea. This meant that even at this moment, there were still a terrifying number of monsters rushing from the deep sea to the shallow water, sensing the call of flesh and blood. It was as if a door that sealed them had been opened with a bang.
“It is very troublesome.”
Horus agreed with his father.
Mankind was ultimately a land civilization. Even if there were countries with sea power, their so-called territory was above the sea. It was the same for the other world.
On Earth, mankind's exploration of space and even the universe far surpassed their understanding of the deep sea. Humans stepped on the moon, machines roamed Mars, and Voyager was close to the edge of the sun. However, the deepest diving record was only 1,000 meters, and the deepest trench was more than 2,500 meters. The infinite darkness, deep, secret, and terrifying unknown world was still hidden under the mysterious veil.
It was the same in the other world.
Faced with an unknown enemy that attacked from the deep sea, humans armed with modern technology were helpless. They could not confirm the enemy's background and could not enter the enemy's battlefield. The dark land under the sea was the home and home of unknown creatures. In the underwater world, humans were unprecedentedly fragile and cumbersome.
Other than using various instruments and sonar devices to scan the enemy's position and then dropping a large bomb from the surface of the water or even the air into the water to blow up the enemy's entire family along with seaweed, reefs, corals, and even the seabed, the small and powerless humans really had no other way.
“.. We have a hundred ways to deal with this situation, but the premise is that we have to calmly prepare an attack plan at a safe distance. But now, we can't leave.”
Putting aside the residents of the Broken Islands, Kant could not abandon the thousands of sailors from the four warships of the various countries who were trapped in the sea.
Protecting them from the endless attacks from the deep sea was a troublesome task. Kant's teleportation ability was unable to teleport living creatures. Although the implanted chip made of the Paragon element could grant them the right of passage, there were simply too many marines. It was completely unrealistic to teleport them on a large scale.
“Then let's save them first!”
” Roar!” A dragon's roar rang out in the sky. Two giant dragons roamed the skies, swooping down and circling in the waters ahead. Horus said in a deep voice,” Father, we've discovered the Empire's warship, the Snowpeak! Target in sight!”
“Prepare for battle!”
The sails in front of them were raised, and the wall of fire surrounded them. The hull of the Snowpeak was already on fire, and the mages on board could only use this method to stop the sea monsters from climbing up and attacking. The two dragons were circling back and forth to support them, and the sailors were back to back in formation. The situation was extremely dangerous.
“I'll go over first!”
Kant swung his axe. The blade of the axe whistled through the air and soared into the sky. The spatial beacon attached to it exploded with a brilliant radiance. The Realm Gate opened with a sound, and the Fire Stealer landed on the main mast of the Snowpeak.
” His Highness Kant is here!”
The desperate sailors heard the cheers, and then they saw the figures on the mast. The monsters were agile and fierce, and their numbers were dense. Ordinary battle formations were useless and meaningless. When the mages 'mana was exhausted, the entire ship would die. They realized this, and their morale was on the verge of collapse.
Then, they heard Fu's bugle call and saw the shining figure of the steel warship cutting through the waves in the distance. Kant then leaped over and descended like a guardian.
The drawbridge effect quickly took effect. At that moment, His Highness Kant's figure became extremely tall and was deeply engraved in the hearts of the terrified people who had nowhere else to go.
“Retreat from the main mast! When the Afu is docked, pull the zipline from the main mast and slide over one by one!” Kant shouted,” Where is the captain? Command!”
“I'm here! Your Highness Kant!” The captain waved his machete and led the elite marines back and forth to put out the fire and kill the fish that escaped the net. He looked up and shouted,” I'm glad you're here!”
As the cannons approached, the Afu roared. The twenty-nine-section warship turned agilely with the front thrusters and came from the rear. Kant waved his hand and shot out an iron chain. It was enchanted and reinforced. It landed on the middle platform of the Afu. He lowered his head and shouted,” Begin evacuation!”
The giant dragon transformed into a human form and swooped down, landing on the deck. It punched out and strangled more and more sea monsters, taking over the defense task of the marines. Under the command of the captain, the marines climbed up the mast along the cable, took off their shirts to cover their hands, and rowed along the steel cable to the opposite side.
The sea monster below broke out of the water like a carp leaping over a dragon gate and tried to bite it, but it was immediately cut into two by a precise bullet. Han Guangcheng and the others were on the central platform of the Afu to receive the sailors who slid over and quickly stuffed them into the cabin one by one.
“We need reinforcements!”
” Father!” Horus shouted.” Father!” The two ships were so close to the Snowpeak that Horus could no longer use his powerful close-range defensive weapons to block the sea monsters.
Kant snapped his fingers.
The Realm Gate suddenly opened behind him, like a black sun leaping out of the sea. A buzzing sound came from the other side of the space, and silver arcs of light swarmed out!
It was the Graywind swarm!
The swarm of bugs that had devoured the element of contradiction was even more powerful. Wherever Kant's will reached, it would swiftly sweep through the deck of the Snowpeak and the surrounding waters, biting the sea monsters that had jumped out of the water and onto the deck.
Even if the sea monsters swallowed their sturdy bodies, they would not be able to chew and digest them. Instead, they would cause great damage to the enemy's body. After devouring the first sea monster, these mysterious locusts seemed to have entered a state of frenzy. They did not even need Kant to command them. They were biting the enemy's flesh and blood wantonly!
An endless stream of locusts rushed out from the Realm Gate, even forming a partial suppression of numbers!
“What are you standing there for?!” Kant shouted. Hurry!”
The marines seemed to have woken up from a dream. They cheered loudly and then glided to the opposite side at an even faster speed. Kant controlled the swarm of insects to shuttle back and forth to block the sea monsters. The effect was not bad, but he knew very well that the swarm of insects was not the best weapon to restrain the sea monsters. They could only be used for defense at best, but they could not take the initiative to attack.
Generation after generation of humans had chosen the path of the Mengsk Cannons.
At this moment, he frowned slightly and waved his hand. A locust with a belly full of food flew up and landed in his palm.
Kant grabbed the bug and squeezed it gently. A bright green gel substance spurted out of its abdomen. The power of the Fire Stealer saw the extremely complicated but pure nature.
Under his mental perception, the flesh and blood of the sea monsters were eaten by the locusts and seemed to be slowly digested into this unknown and mysterious substance.
“Mage, prepare to take off!”
More than 200 sailors on the ship had been successfully evacuated, and the injured had been properly arranged. The captain led the officers to climb up the main mast and slide to the other side one by one. The captain stayed behind and shouted,” I repeat! The Spell Caster rose into the air! Those with insufficient mana, report immediately! Fly over directly!”
“Your Highness Kant!” he shouted. The evacuation of the entire crew of the Snowy Peak has come to an end!”
Kant's eyes lit up with phoenix fire as he scanned the entire ship. Other than the captain and a few Spell Casters who were maintaining fire spells, there was no other living being. He nodded.” Go!”
The captain wrapped his right hand with the canvas and slid over with the steel cable.
Then, the spellcasters rode the strong wind and leaped up. When the last crew member retreated to the Afu, loud cheers rang out on the ship.
He had succeeded.
Kant tapped his feet and flew back to the top of the array.” Set sail!” he shouted.
Although he wanted to turn this abandoned ship into a big bomb…However, time was of the essence, so there was no time to waste.
The gas turbine started up again, and the engine started up with a roar. Loud cheers and shouts rang out from the cabin, and the cries of those who had survived the disaster echoed. In the end, all the voices turned into praise. They shouted and shouted, and finally became a unified slogan.
“Kant!”
“Ah Fu!”
“Kant!”
“Ah Fu!”
The warship sailed towards the next part of the sea. There was still an endless stream of monsters attacking the warship, but the cannons were firing and the insects were suppressing them. Everything was normal.
Kant took a deep breath. All of a sudden, his iron son said coldly,” Kang De, you're too good.”
“.. Where the f * ck did you learn this from?!”
“Is this the time to talk about this?”
“.. F * ck.” Kant picked up the walkie-talkie.” We've rescued Snowpeak and are about to head to the next battlefield. Calling the Elven Fleet, Evergreen Song. What's your status?”
“Your Highness, you can go and save the council first,” the elven captain laughed heartily.
The captain of the council fleet retorted in the channel,”Let's go save pointy-ears first!”
This conversation was also heard by the cheering sailors of the Empire in their cabins, so their voices became softer. Their warships were in a sorry state, and their defensive line had almost collapsed. On the other hand, the elves and the Council's warships sounded more at ease. Such a comparison was a little embarrassing.
” Evergreen Song, reporting our position to your ship. We're heading here immediately.”
“Understood!”
Twenty-three minutes later, the Evergreen Song appeared before Kant's eyes.
The drone sent back the image.
The Evergreen Song was surging with wind and thunder. The magic wind pushed the sails forward at full speed. The mages controlled waves of fire to dance around the ship, and the ballistae on the side fired at the surrounding sea. The enchanted bolts exploded on the sea surface, and the magic attack platform was fully activated. On the three masts, burly elves wrapped their legs around the masts and stretched their bodies. They drew their bows and shot arrows like a waterfall, accurately nailing the fish that escaped the net to death. Blood gushed out.
At the bridge and the porthole, the imperialists were already silent.
“Ah, this…” Kant was confused.” I don't think we need to save them?”
” No,” Horus denied.” They're already firing at full power now. Their arrows will run out, and their magic power will run out. You ordered them to advance at full speed, and help is about to arrive. Of course, these prideful elves will show you everything they have.”
Kant understood what was going on. He chuckled.” From a certain point of view, it's quite cute.”
“It's quite cute.”
As they spoke, the two battleships approached each other and slowed down at the same time. The Graywind Zergs flew into formation, and the mages withdrew their fire waves. On the mast, an elf commander waved to them.” Your Highness Kant, the Evergreen Song is here to wait for orders!”
Kant replied,” Evacuate by zipline. Order your soldiers to get ready!”
“Yes, sir!” The elf captain shouted,” Immediately…”
At this moment, a shrill shriek suddenly came from inside the Evergreen Song.
” Father!” Horus shouted before Kant could ask anything.” Father!” There's a situation!”
Immediately after, Mei Xizhu's voice rang out in the channel. The island defense system was activated! Elemental illumination covered the area! A fortress-type heavy magic conductor is about to attack us!”
[PS 1: Upgraded…] He was a little slow, but he didn't get the feeling…Sleep, sleep.
