Extraordinary Voyage Chapter 284: Golden Lion City
The medium-sized bastion can't accommodate too many people. The permanent garrison is about 1,200. The other defense forces are stationed in barracks on the shore and outposts in more than 20 cities along the river valley.
Before the tsunami, there were about 1,000 soldiers belonging to the infantry regiment in Nisk’s barracks. Although the barracks are relatively high, it is difficult to say how many troops can be gathered after the tsunami.
Furthermore, when dealing with sea monsters, no matter how many ordinary soldiers come, it is of no use.
So, with the bastion saturated, Major General Coverdale's order to the infantry barracks was to go to Nisk to rescue the people.
After the alarm bell went off.
All the soldiers stationed in the bastion have been fully armed and have entered a wartime state, and the gunners ran into the fort on the second floor of the bastion.
Originally, an on-ground fort and a small outpost were also arranged on the southern promontory, but because there was no defensive power of the bastion, it was completely destroyed by the tsunami without firing a shot.
The "bastion" on the north side of the promontory has essentially become the last force to guard the entrance to the sea!
There are 32 heavy artillery pieces in the four-corner bastion. There are two 32-pounder guns and six 24-pounder guns on each corner. Because of the solid foundation, the caliber of the guns that can be placed on the fixed fort can be larger.
Although this is only a medium-sized bastion as a defense force at the entrance to the sea, it has not been attacked by enemies from the sea since it was built.
But there are still eight 32-pounder guns that can only be equipped on battleships above Tier 3.
Especially when facing multiple sea monsters, the ten 8-pound cannons they had stored in the armory were also transported up, which increased the firepower of the bastion again.
Thanks to the unique design of the bastion, no matter which direction the enemy comes from, they will face 2-3 bastion faces at the same time, suffering from the searing baptism of the firepower net.
At the same time, the musketeers were also lined up on the "Zhongdi" between the two lobed fortresses. If the sea monster breaks through the fire net of the outer artillery, it needs to fire at close range with muskets.
Even if the lead shot of the musket is incomparable with the artillery shell, the power of the firearm cannot be underestimated.
Swish swish
Before the tide receded, the soldiers had just taken their positions, and the sea monsters were already driven by the instinct to hate humans and attacked the bastion.
Fortunately.
The newly born sea monsters have no way to attack, let alone any cooperation. Some are in the front, some are in the back, some recklessly just charge, and some are still waiting for an opportunity.
This also gives the "Bastion" a chance to defeat it all!
A strange fish is obviously the fastest and has the simplest mind. Its long body like blue-black steel contains explosive power. It can easily take advantage of the force in the sea and accelerate continuously when it swings its tail lightly.
With the hunting instinct rooted in the depths of the bloodline, it suddenly moved from the left to the right, tumbling from the water like a maniac.
"Load, load!"
The artillery on the side of the bastion facing the strange fish couldn't help but have their throats dry. Where have they seen such a terrifying sea monster that only works in the deep sea, who have been stationed on the coast for a long time?
The body is more than eighty meters long, the long mouth is full of sharp teeth, the whole head is covered by a pale bony carapace, the eyes are sunken but fierce, and it looks like a skull. Scaleless snake.
There are many thick and short tentacles growing where the skeleton connects to the body, like Medusa's terrible snake hair! Update the fastest computer terminal::/
Even if he has not yet entered the optimal range of the artillery, a cruel and bloodthirsty breath has already hit his face.
His! hiss!
"Open the Song of the Siren!"
Major General's order was issued and the "horn of storm" was turned on. On the day of arrival, a new weapon against sea monsters with a complete arrangement was selected at a location.
Even if the "Song of the Sea Monster" was set up in advance to deal with possible sea monsters, they did not expect to use it so quickly, let alone use it against so many sea monsters.
Although the cape is a piece of land protruding into the sea, it is a natural deep-water harbor beside it.
Although for large species, apart from creating a relatively flat battlefield, "Song of the Sea Monster" is not directly lethal to them.
But with the "Song of the Sea Monster", at least there is no need to worry that the sea monster will dive over and land from the shore, wasting several rounds of firepower within its range for nothing!
Om
The three "Songs of the Sea Monster" placed in different positions work together to spread the infrasound waves that have greatly increased their lethality.
The "skeleton moray", who was only a few months old, certainly didn't understand the three-dimensional fortifications of human beings. It was also the first time in his life that he faced artillery.
In fact, in its simple brain, even if there is no "Song of the Sea Monster", it never thought of attacking from the water in a circuitous way, because the "Bastion" is the only place nearby where a large number of humans gather, allowing them to kill. The instinct is positive!
The bastion defenders usually have few actual combat, but the training is impossible to pull down, although there is still a gap compared with the elite navy serving on the battleship.
But they still loaded the ammunition before the monster fish was close to the optimal range.
"The distance is 500 meters, the target fish-shaped sea monster, fire!"
Boom! boom! boom!
In the orange-red flames and roaring gunfire that pierced the sea.
Behind the "skeleton moray", a huge whale, a colorful mantis shrimp, a seahorse in heavy armor, and a hazy and unreal behemoth are ready to go.
The other side.
Along with the deafening sound of water, Huggins and the sea monster's army rides the huge waves along the wide channel of the Leiden River all the way up.
"Leiden River Valley" is a livable area with abundant freshwater resources and flat fertile land. The tsunami caused by the power of hundreds of sea monsters is unstoppable, and the torrential torrents are advancing all the way, devastating and destroying large fields in the valley. ,town.
In just a few minutes, the homeland that mankind has gradually built for hundreds of thousands of years will return to the barbaric era.
And every time a human-inhabited town passes by, a small species will leave the team and rush towards the town, causing trouble for the defenders everywhere, further delaying their pace, preventing them from uniting and causing trouble when the pirate ship returns.
However, after entering the inland, the power of the sea monster was obviously suppressed, and the speed of the wave's advancement has been reduced due to the restriction of the river.
But despite this, they also advanced nearly 200 kilometers within an hour, and in front of them was the destination of their trip, the city of wealth, "Golden Lion City"!
And this time, the warning signal issued by the Garrison Command finally arrived here before the sea monster arrived.
Boom
The assistant slammed away from the office of the chairman of the Dutch banking group, panting and hurriedly reporting:
"Huhhhhh, Mr. Chairman! Emergency military situation!
A large number of sea monsters have broken through the mouth of the sea and have flown upstream along the Leiden River. There is also a pirate ship with whom it has been confirmed to be Huggins’s ship "Icon of Everlasting". The destination is unknown! "
Wow!
Behind the desk, the spirited white-haired old man stood up voluntarily, not even noticing the important documents he had dropped to the ground.
Old Joel stared at his always wise and capable assistant with eagle-like eyes. The original Gujing Wubo on his face seemed to have been dropped by a big rock, and his color instantly changed:
"How can the sea monster in the deep sea enter the land? And the sea monster and Huggins got together?!"
Because of the natural suppression of sea monsters by the land, at least in the history of human records, there has never been a record of living sea monsters going deep inland.
Wei Wei calmed down her breath, and Nisk’s assistant from hometown replied in disbelief and deep sorrow:
"There was news from the garrison headquarters entering the sea that it was suspected that a sea monster had caused a big tsunami, and, besides, Nisk was over!"
The old man's face was uncertain, and he had already guessed when the assistant spoke.
A large number of sea monsters can pass through the entrance to the sea, so Nisk, the first water city into the sea entrance, is of course the first to bear the brunt.
What he considers is what impact the uncontrolled variable entry of sea monsters will have on his Golden Lion City and bank group!
If the things that humans fear most in this era of great voyages are listed on a list, then sea monsters will definitely be among the best on the list.
Especially their irresistible power and extreme hostility to humans are their eternal labels.
If a traveler encounters a sea monster while going out to sea, without a battleship escorted or there are powerful transcendents on board, then it means that he has got a one-way ticket to hell!
Even if, like most directors, he believes that Hudgens will not be so unwise to destroy the "good" cooperative relationship between the two parties, but for the sea monsters, there is no concept of partners and customers, what will happen really at that time Hard to say.
As the chairman of the four-member committee of the Dutch banking group and the archon of the Golden Lion City, no matter whether Hudgens and the group of sea monsters are targeting the Golden Lion City, the old man must make a decision at this time!
"Convey my orders.
First, the highest level of early warning, sound the alarm, let all citizens leave the city and enter the Pine Forest Farm for refuge! Draw a team of city guards to accompany you to maintain order!
Secondly, inform the great knight Mr. Grace and the two wizards, the "Steam Master" and the "Eater Witch" who are on duty, to prepare them for the battle. The large treasury of the bank group, especially the third floor, must not be missed.
Third, take my warrant to personally mobilize our private army to board the city wall to buy time for the citizens to evacuate. No, I will go personally. I want to see if this pirate king dares to step into the Golden Lion City!
Fourth, you personally pass the news to the Bishop Jasper of the Golden Dome Cathedral, and ask him to stick to the Golden Dome Cathedral, just in case, and start the last resort if necessary.
Finally, all the staff of the bank group stick to their posts. We must be worthy of the trust of our customers and the unbreakable reputation established by the ancestors of the bank group. "
The old man knew that time was pressing and he didn't have too much time to delay. He put on his formal jacket while issuing the order resolutely, and took his cane to walk out of his office first.
DaDaDa
When the two people walked out of the office, the sixteen directors or their representatives based in the Golden Lion City had also received news and rushed over.
Behind them is a group of guards with high-end equipment and full armor. There are men and women, but every one of them is at least an extraordinary person at the official knight level.
There are at least one or two pieces of equipment on this group of transcendents that are shining with brilliant transcendent aura, revealing an undisguised "local tyrant" temperament from head to toe.
"Mr. Chairman! As a director of the bank group, you should naturally be on the front line of protecting your clients' property. Please let us join you on the wall."
Obviously, what he said was indeed the motto that the "Netherlands Banking Group" had existed since its establishment.
But most of them didn't take Huggins' attack seriously. Since they passed the water city of Nisk, the goal eight achievement was Brandenburg, the capital of Salt Lake County in the back part of the river valley.
These shareholders come from many countries and have no sense of belonging to the Kingdom of Tyrol. Huggins can play as long as he wants to, as long as he doesn't hinder him from making money.
Standing up at this time, not only is there no danger, but it is also a lot of bonus points in the forces behind themselves!
Being able to come forward at a crisis, naturally has the performance to be able to do things, and will be able to entrust heavier responsibilities in the future.
However, even if it is just passing through the "Golden Lion City", it still scares our customers and employees.
The next transaction~IndoMTL.com~ It seems that the price should be increased, but Mr. Huggins, the Pirate King of the Black Sea, is always generous in transactions, isn't it? Ha ha ha
Up to now, they are still very optimistic. The long-term good cooperation in the past has allowed them to maintain their inertial thinking and do not believe that Hudgens’ goal will be themselves.
A slight smile appeared on Mr. Chairman's face when they heard their offer.
Most of these directors are his juniors. Since he has the courage and responsibility at this time, he is naturally happy for the successors of the bank group.
"Very good, we will meet this old customer together! No matter what the pirate king wants to do, since he is passing by the bank consortium, he should send us a note in advance!"
The words showed a slight dissatisfaction with the action of the Pirate King. Although the wise Mr. Chairman issued a series of orders in accordance with the emergency plan, his true thoughts in his heart were obviously no different from his juniors.
I still look at the world from the perspective of a banker
