Shortly after sunrise that day, the mixed fleet set sail from a sheltered anchorage where it had temporarily anchored last night, and soon reached the water near its destination.
The surrounding water is now wide open, and only this piece of land has popped up within an area of several thousand square meters. Except for a few broken city walls, the towering ant mounds that once existed under the water are completely invisible, and it is impossible to tell that there were any hidden areas around this area. There have been several fierce battles in the ant lion trap group. Nowadays, the calm water has covered everything, and only a few tops of tall grass are left standing out of the water, bearing witness to the land and blood of the past.
In the previous battle against the Destroyers, they had been blown into ruins by the White-bellied Destroyers. More than half of the nearly cube-shaped ant mound collapsed. At this time, there was only an approximately trapezoidal flat top above the water like a stone in the middle of a lake. Thousands of people The Destroyers lay tightly on this only piece of land, densely packed like bees migrating to their nests.
Their number is too small, and even if they build pontoons, they cannot reach the nearest shore. Building ant valves and drifting with the waves is an option, but it is too desperate, so the radar destroyers who are good at calculations choose to stay in place and wait. The floodwaters gradually receded. The flood is indeed receding now. Today, the water level has dropped by more than one centimeter compared to yesterday. Originally, many Destroyers were floating on the water supporting other survivors. Now, these corpses have broken out of the water and are stuck to the edge of the ant mound.
The floating corpses of the Destroyer that were everywhere in the past few days are missing from the water. The reason will be revealed soon!
The waterline is receding faster and faster. If this continues, it will take less than half a month for this lone Destroyer army to regain freedom. As long as there is no heavy rain or other accidents, the closely protected Radar Destroyer will definitely be able to persist. at last.
However, the Radar Destroyer could not have expected that the counterattack of the God Envoy King's army would come so swiftly and fiercely.
When the mixed fleet approached, the radar destroyer sensed it, but before it had time to react, the fleet traveling downwind arrived nearby, and then the flying knights fixed the cables to nearby trees and grass. Two bamboo tubes The giant ships faced each other side by side and lined up in a row, while the Walnut Fleet continued to maintain a column formation on standby.
On the giant bamboo ship, gun barrels of different thicknesses protruded from the circular gun windows, aiming at the Destroyer!
This is the embodiment of Zhu Jue's upgrade direction for the bamboo giant ship: to become a battleship in the age of sail. The fly in the ointment is that currently only one-third of the artillery guns on each ship are in place. In order to strengthen the firepower this time, "Rambo Flying III" temporarily stuffed a large number of fortress guns in, but this also resulted in different gun types. , the command is slightly confusing.
Fortunately, the enemy ants have no power to fight back, and the God Envoy King's army can gradually adjust itself!
As the firing order was given, the artillery operated by the naval gunners and the fortress artillery opened fire at roughly the same time. The roaring sound of the cannons continued to roll in the air and could be heard far away.
The two giant bamboo ships seemed to have been hit by something. They moved backward on the water for a certain distance until the thick ropes tied to the anchor points at both ends straightened, holding the two ships firmly in place.
Accompanied by the flames of revenge and the screams of death, more than a hundred cannonballs ranging in size from millet to mung beans were densely directed at the remaining destroyers. Some of the near-missed shells sent water columns rising into the sky, turning into rain and washing the remaining city. Other shells directly hit the body of the destroyer. The destroyer who was directly hit could no longer be described as having broken bones and tendons. All of them were torn into pieces or melted. For meatloaf. The cannonballs that hit the concrete wall of the ants also spattered a large number of fragments, enough to damage nearby Destroyer individuals.
The Destroyers who were hit by a long-range attack were immediately in chaos. The Radar Destroyers who were protected on the bottom floor of the center did not bother to command the counterattack - they did not have any counterattack force worth mentioning - they were busy getting into the caves of the ant mound one by one. , as the water level drops, these caves that were originally filled with water due to capillary action also have places to step on, and are now used to avoid cannonballs.
Most of the Destroyers were not under command, just in vain on the small island, crawling around aimlessly on the walls or the bodies of their companions, as if they could avoid the cannonballs. But there was no point in this futile flight except for more and more Destroyers being squeezed into the water.
There are also a few surviving Flying Destroyers who spontaneously take off into the air, but it is not known whether they are going to escape or fight back. Because they have been soaked by rain for several days, the wings of these Flying Destroyers are soaked. Even if they barely vibrate into the air, they cannot fly very far. Falling into the water is no threat.
Several small fish suddenly appeared on the battlefield. They were only as big as locusts, but to the ants and the destroyers, they were already giant beasts in the water like kuns. These fish come out from time to time, and use their mouths to accurately absorb the fresh destroyers that fall into the water. The ripples caused by these falling into the water are like sound waves, attracting predators in the water!
According to the flying knight's report, these fish were attracted by the corpse of the Destroyer the day before yesterday. They feasted on the carrion for several days, leaving the water surface empty. Today they ate fresh and undead fish food. No wonder they are nostalgic. go.
After several rounds of bombings, the captain of the first giant bamboo ship, who was also the commander of this mixed fleet, saw that the Destroyer had suffered heavy casualties and was disorganized, so he did not want to waste time anymore and ordered the walnut fleet to approach so that it could be carried. The army landed, and the two battleships opened fire freely to cover it.
The first legion landed and took control of the landing site. A few Destroyers tried to resist but were easily repulsed. After the second legion landed, it had completely controlled the ground part of the remaining city. The third legion was forced to stay on the ship due to lack of space.
Afterwards, the warriors of the God's Envoy King who had wiped out the Destroyers on the ground began to get in through the dense entrances and exits to eliminate the Destroyers who were hiding, especially the large number of Radar Destroyers. Some of the clearance teams rushed in. There was only stagnant water in the cave they entered. However, under the carpet search, the remaining radar destroyers were pulled out one by one. They were not hiding secretly, and there was no secret place to accommodate their abnormality. Long body.
In order to survive under artillery fire, these radar destroyers did not even have a few guards. At this time, they had no ability to resist arrest.
The vengeful God Angel King warriors killed most of the Radar Destroyers and all other Destroyers, leaving their bodies on the spot without even bothering to clean them up. Then they escorted the most important trophies of the trip - two radar destroyers with their limbs cut off and their mouths sealed, and returned by boat!
