Chapter 604 Wailing Bay Defense Battle (1)
When the fleet of the Dark Empire attacked, Francis was not without any preparation. In fact, the troops in the Wailing Bay were not as relaxed and unprepared as Alicia was worried. Instead, they could attack at any time, except for some of them.
Fortunately, the base has ready-made equipment that can replace the magic crystal cannons on the warships with energy compression weapons; however, unfortunately, the number of these equipment is far from meeting the number of nearly 80% of the entire Western Continental Alliance stationed here at the same time, so Francis had no choice but to let the warships change in turn.
This is naturally ineffective, but the war is imminent, and no one dares to easily transfer the fleet from the front line to return to the home port to change clothes. So until the enemy on the opposite side came, only about 30% of the alliance fleet under Francis's command was replaced with the latest weapons; in addition, some warships were unable to attack because they were changing clothes. Compared with the enemy, the alliance warships were at a disadvantage in quantity and quality, and in addition, the opponent launched a sudden attack without warning, under normal circumstances, no matter how skillful the command of Francis was, his fleet would be defeated.
But since this guy is Alicea's subordinate, his troops naturally cannot be defined by common sense.
Not to mention anything else, when the Dark Empire, the distant Tang Empire and most of the alliance's warships were still slowly fighting against the friction of water molecules on the sea or underwater, three air warships under Alicea had already flown into the sky. How should you break the warship-class firepower pouring down from the sky like raindrops?
Although the Dark Empire successfully tinkered with energy compression weapons, this thing was not a laser cannon that could penetrate the atmosphere. Using it to fight warships floating in the sky can only be... unsolvable.
Perhaps this is considered. In addition to the numerous warships, the Dark Empire also assembled many flying monsters, trying to use them as cannon fodder to disperse the firepower of the air warships. Moreover, these suicide squads composed of gargoyles, chimera and even undead dragons are not real cannon fodder. It is still very dangerous to let them approach the warships to penetrate the shield and tear off the armor and break in.
Geludland had also carried out similar attacks, but unfortunately the number of angels was not enough to break through the firepower network. In addition, there were protections of dragons around the warship at that time, so it was ultimately unsuccessful.
Will Alicia, who has encountered this tactic, be unprepared for this? Think about the handsome guys on the Imlis who can directly turn into a visual band with a black tone without makeup. Alicia deceived them as the Little Is's personal guard... I mean, I'm not trying to persuade them to go on the warship to promote how gentle, cute, kind and pure his baby sister is, right?
At the same time, with the tension in the situation, Alicia ordered Purple Ye to lead a small number of Dragons volunteers to the Wailing Bay on the Imris. With the protection and assistance of these flying lizards, the three air warships can play a greater role and even decide the outcome of the entire battle.
Finally, Yula, a girl with a cruel fate, and her deep-sea dragon, who is carrying a magical weapon to fight, is also another ace combat power that can also determine the outcome of the battle. Facing the submersible ship of the Dark Empire, the Alliance's surface ship feels a little crazy; while Yula's body that is as nimble as a fighter underwater makes the enemy even more crazy. In addition, the deep-sea dragon also has the ability to freeze a small part of the area. Imagine the feeling of being frozen in the water and hitting a head on the suddenly appearing underwater iceberg. You will feel that it is safer to have a shark swimming pool.
In short, it is precisely because of the above-mentioned hard work that the uncertainty in this battle has increased, making the Dark Empire's inevitable thunder strike a stalemate.
"Reported to the Admiral, Miss Yula, who sent a message to request a return to the base for replenishment."
"Let Jicrem, who is in charge of commanding the front fleet, lead the team to meet after she retreats, and be sure to block the opponent's fierce attack."
"The Roland fleet on the left wing was seriously damaged and was almost unable to support it!"
"I can't stop the flash of people, just hold on to the front and show off some heroes. Let the Kelberg go over and cover them with their retreat!"
Francis, sitting in the coalition flagship Chrisga, issued orders in an orderly manner, but his heart gradually started to beating.
It is obvious that the enemy put pressure on the coalition forces from three aspects at the same time, attempting to use the huge number of warships to advance steadily, erode and squeeze the strategic space of the coalition forces. In the end, he drove himself and others out of the Wailing Bay. It was a very simple tactic, but it was very practical. When Francis was forced to start the war, he gave up several small bases around that had just been attacked. He shrank his troops and defended the Wailing Bay with all his strength. After all, the warships of the alliance could not fight against the new submarine ships alone. If they were dispersed, wouldn’t it be a draw?
To be honest, it is impossible to find ships far away with your naked eyes in the environment of howling hurricanes, and the naked eye is hiding under the water. Although the Crystal has a magical detector that can almost see the entire battlefield, there are no similar devices on other warships. Although Alicia had previously proposed a new invention called "sonar", which is said to be able to easily detect underwater enemies, but the thing still remains on the experimental bench of the Alliance Technology Development Department. In other words, the entire coalition fleet cannot see the enemy and is fighting with their eyes closed.
Fortunately, the energy compression weapon has a huge flaw, that is, it will emit dazzling light to the surroundings when it is about to be launched; and in the dark sea water, these starry lights are undoubtedly the best targets. The coalition officers and soldiers used this fleeting light that symbolizes death to lock the enemy's position and launch a counterattack, carrying out tenacious resistance.
The Roland fleet, which was responsible for the left wing of the defense base, had already turned into floating braziers at this time. Fortunately, the waves caused by the hurricane helped extinguish some of the fires, otherwise it might have been many warships that would sink now.
Although the Roland Empire itself is rich. Building a new navy is not a problem; the navy is different from the army. No matter how well your equipment is, the crew members are still unable to form combat power when they are novices.
Before Alicia ascended the throne, the former Birea navy had fought many battles with the Dark Empire fleet that secretly assisted the Curse Clan to launch infiltration operations. It is thanks to this that they can still maintain strong combat power; while the Roland navy had no similar practical experience, at most it was just fighting pirates.
Francis put them on the left wing with a little less pressure because of this. Originally, the Admiral did not expect them to be able to defend the defense line, just delaying the time; but unexpectedly, these young officers and soldiers fought to the death and paid a heavy price while successfully resisting the enemy's offensive.
The person in charge of commanding the Kelberg was Boye of course, that was only nominal. The one who was actually commanding the entire ship was actually the tentacle monster Hassan with shiny eyes next to him.
The lolilong, who had long and long black hair, bit the lollipop and let the warship fly to the heads of countless braziers below. After looking down, he couldn't help but smack his lips: "It seems that all these ships are useless in this way. Ask them if they can move? If they can move, they all return to the base for repairs immediately. Don't wait until the reinforcements arrive but the ship sinks. Is there anything more tragic than this?"
"Report, a large number of unknown black shadows were found in the air about 200 meters in the direction of this ship at 10 o'clock. It is suspected that it is the enemy's air force!"
"...The introduction is withdrawn. Sure enough, there is something more tragic than this." Little Black Dragon bit the lollipop in his mouth in a few seconds and said vaguely, "Hasan, I'll leave the ship to you. I'll take a few people to meet each other."
Hassan decisively raised a wooden board and reached in front of Purse Ye. It said: "Don't eat gargoyles."
Then he turned to the other side: "It will ruin your stomach."
"Are you Ellie's master??" Zhuo Ye jumped up and punched Hassan's round head fiercely. The latter's huge eyes immediately filled with a look of grievance that made people feel extremely sad when they looked over. "Besides, those guys are both astringent and tooth-bumping, and I won't take a second bite even if I beat them to death."
"In the end, you still ate!" Hassan waved the wooden board with this sentence and slapped Lolilong's head hard and rushed to the top of his head.
"Wulusai! It flew in front of me and then was bitten by me subconsciously opening my mouth. This is an accident. What can I do?"
Hassan took out a quill and wrote something quickly on the wooden board. After a long time, he suddenly showed the wooden board to everyone who had been waiting for it.
"Did you suddenly collide with the girl at the corner of the corridor and push her down and happen to press her hands on someone's chest or your head into someone's skirt and enjoy some benefits before you deliberately put on a panic and push all the responsibility to the ghost and animal hero in the light novel "force majeure" and "accident"? "
"You are indeed possessed by Master Ellie, right?" Little Black Dragon said with a sensual stare at the tentacle monster in front of you.
The crew member who finally couldn't stand watching the two strange creatures continued to play daily life reminded carefully: "That, the enemy is only 150 meters away from this ship."
Upon hearing this, Luo Ye finally remembered that there was still something serious to do. She immediately gave up the confrontation with Evil Eye and hurried out of the bridge. In the bottom cabin, there were five giant dragons that had changed into human form on standby. All the little black dragon had to do was lead them away from the warship and tore the other party to pieces before the enemy air force approached the Kelberg.
Because they are fighting on the far sea where hurricanes are raging, not many people in the dragon clan are willing to join the alliance's expeditionary force. Although these big lizards have been sleeping in the cave for many years, the dragons in active state actually like to come out to bask in the sun. Not only can they not see the sun all day, but they are still full of damp and smelly water vapor. For dragons who pay great attention to their appearance, flying at any time will turn into a far sea that falls into a chicken.
Later, after seeing the Loli-shaped Lori, Alicia had an idea and suggested that the dragon use human form to act with the warship, so she barely recruited a small number of volunteer soldiers; and because the number was too small, they could only be placed on the precious air warship.
There were more than a dozen fallen angels who attacked with Zhuo Ye and the others. These cool guys may be somewhat lacking in strength, but that was only relatively speaking. Moreover, they were very fast and flexible in their body. They were just a good combination with the huge dragon.
The weather today is very bad. In addition to the hurricane that seems to never stop, it is still raining. The dense water droplets make people unable to open their eyelids. A strong whistling wind ripped everyone's wings; various dazzling thunders continued to fall in the dark clouds, and from time to time, waves more than ten meters high suddenly soared into the sky, almost swept away the people.
"Can't you fly higher?" A water-type blue dragon following closely behind Luo Ye couldn't help but ask loudly after using spells to save a fallen angel who was almost swept away by the waves.
"No!" Luo Ye immediately twisted his long neck and looked back at the other party and denied, "Although our perception ability is very strong, it will still be greatly affected after being blocked by sea water. Before we make sure that there are no enemy warships underwater in the nearby waters, we can only fly so high."
"But what can we do if we discover the enemy's fleet? Will we spray dragon breathing into the water?" Qinglong reminded with a tactful tact. "Or are you planning to keep me and use magic to deal with them? That's impossible. My spell can only be effective above the water."
Zhuo Ye stretched out his forelimb and shook it gently, and then put on the long dragon's face with a very standard "you don't understand" expression and said, "Master Ellie told me that there is a profession called artillery observer in this world. His mission is to reconnaise the location of the enemy's living forces or important equipment and contact the headquarters. Send the coordinates to the gunners so that they can use cannons to annihilate the enemy with cannons without seeing them with their own eyes. And there is a connection between me and the Kelberg. After finding the warship hidden underwater on the other side, I will tell the Roland fleet through it to let them have a saturated shelling? Well, if they can still fire the cannon now..."
This plan was indeed very good, but the enemy troops, which were fiercely resisted by the Roland fleet, immediately evacuated the war zone and sent air troops to fight. Therefore, Xiao Black Dragon and the others did not discover the legendary submarine ships.
When the distance between the two sides was only a few dozen meters, Luo Ye finally gave up searching for enemy warships and began to lead the team to climb higher.
Amid the large number of light blue lightning, the appearance of those hunting objects not far away can be seen.
The leader is naturally the gargoyles who are standard cannon fodder. Don’t ask why there are undead creatures here. This is unreliable to wondering where the traffic of their claw machine is gone after clicking a certain picture welfare post. These ugly things that are tattered and dirty all over the body have nothing to do with the muscle men living in Manhattan who are stones during the day and heroes at night. They are just a large piece of garbage that can fly with wings, and look like monster models made of various pieces of splicing and sewn in some third-rate horror movies that cut corners.
But they were so numerous that they were so dense that they could not see the edges. Zhuo Ye, who knew how troubles would be after being entangled by these guys, immediately took a deep breath without hesitation, allowing the hot flames to roar around the mouth; the exaggerated temperature turned the heavy rain around the dragon head into a large amount of white water vapor. It made people unable to see the inside of the situation; the sharply compressed magic power made a sharp hissing sound, and along with the nearby air formed a vortex visible to the naked eye and was sucked into Zhuo Ye; the powerful pressure made everyone following her escape far away without any hesitation. The gargoyles on the opposite side who were completely unaware of pain and death also seemed to be affected by this pressure, and the entire high-speed charge formation was in chaos.
In this narrow space where the wind was whistling with thick black clouds and the bottomless ocean, a roar suddenly erupted from a powerful creature that almost shaking the entire space. The deep clouds and the surging sea surface were split by the red pillar of flames running through the sky, and countless fireworks bloomed in the air, falling down to the sea.
Those are gargoyles that turn into fireballs after being hit by the dragon's breath. As for those who are directly hit... Do you know what sublimation is?
"It's still not controlled well." Despite the amazing results and the light and shadow effect that can make any fleet volleys fade, Luo Ye is still a little unsightly. "I originally wanted to shake my head a few more times to increase the damage range."
If you once squirted half of the mountain with one breath, you should save money. The supporting actor also needs a chance to play!
The little black dragon's map cannon was indeed very powerful, but what she washed away was the gargoyle that was the cannon fodder. Taking advantage of this time, the undead griffin behind the enemy formation, a kind of low-level monster with no hands and feet, with only a pair of bat wings, was round and ball-shaped. It seemed that the Chimera, which was made up of many animals and a small number of undead dragons, rushed one after another, and in a blink of an eye, came to everyone.
