The appearance of the fish tide is not a bad thing except that the smell is so unpleasant that it makes you want to die.
Because this proves that they are looking in the right direction - most of the fish tide this time is broken corpses, obviously swallowed by something, and judging from this number, it must be the work of some extraordinary being.
The detectors on the battleship also illustrate this point - the concentration of "rust fog" here is much higher than that in other places, and this is not caused by the sea water itself, on the contrary, it is because of the "rust fog" here The concentration is too high, which makes the sea water turn a deeper color.
"interesting."
Xu Shi's eyes flashed with excitement, and he commanded to activate the ship's protective force field, "Cheer up, Qing Yan."
He didn't need to remind him at all, Xie Qingyan's face had long since lost its drunkenness, and the fanatical look that replaced it was no weaker than his.
She took the initiative to pick up the microphone in the command room and shouted without hesitation, "Everyone is here, on alert, ready to attack at any time!"
One thing to say, the two of them have a lot in common, at least in this respect - fanaticism, paranoia, and no fear at all even for a terrifying existence like "Poseidon".
So Xu Shi always said that no matter what, he admired the bitch Xie Qingyan, and even the moment when she showed such a crazy state was the most charming moment for her in Xu Shi's eyes.
"...A large number of sea creatures have been detected approaching!"
Not long after, Yu Xingchuan's voice came back, "The combat team has been prepared and ready to attack at any time!"
She was arranged by Xu Shi to go to the battleship and play her due role. At the same time, Xia Wuyou and his party also rushed over, waiting for Xu Shi's next deployment with serious faces.
"No hurries?"
Looking at the dense red dots on the radar, Xu Shi just waved his hand, "I have been their instructor for so long, just to see how good they are."
"indeed."
Xie Qingyan quite agreed, "First slow down the ship and enter the defense mode. At most, send some manpower to show off... We just need to protect ourselves."
The two looked at each other and laughed out loud.
To put it bluntly, this is a conspiracy - it is true that we will go to sea with you to defeat Poseidon, but this does not mean that we will really work together as promised and fight side by side... This is not only against the Holy See, but also against the royal family. Same thing.
The reason is also very good. After all, we are foreigners, and Poseidon is an internal matter of your Hualan Empire. Even if you turn around and go home now, what can you say?
Don't talk nonsense like Poseidon is a common hidden danger for everyone. How do you know that without you, we can't defeat it on our own?
But the people of the Hualan Empire cannot be cowardly. No matter the Holy See or the royal family, no one can. Whoever is cowardly now, no matter what the result is, it has been settled. When the time comes, public opinion alone will kill you.
And there is another thing worth noting. Who can be sure that because the fish tide here is raging, it means that the Poseidon must be nearby? There is a saying that no one wants to catch the rabbit without letting go of the eagle. It is very annoying to be reduced by the fish... But in the current situation, only one side can survive alone.
He could just take this opportunity to observe the true strength of the Hualan Empire, especially the Holy See, which he had never been exposed to before.
"Master... he has always been so bad, right?"
Before Pan Feng turned the corner, Pan Ling understood his thoughts instantly, lowered her voice and asked the innocent Xia Keyan.
"Yeah, Dad's always been a badass."
The old aunt did not deny it and nodded seriously.
"What are you talking about? It's itchy again, right?"
Unfortunately, this whisper did not escape the ears of the big bad guy. He grabbed the white-haired Lolita by the back of her collar and asked her angrily.
"Xiao Ke'an doesn't know how to lie, ugh..."
Xia Keyan struggled hard and tried to pass the test in a cute way.
Xu Shi refused to accept this trick and rewarded her with a few blows without mercy, "I brought you out just to cause trouble? Remember, if it's really time for us to take action later, we won't be allowed to stay in the cabin. Go, you know?”
"Oh, I know..."
The old aunt rubbed her forehead. Really, don't use such a posture to say caring words, okay...
"But don't be idle, do something for me."
Xu Shi's words were not finished yet, but he lowered his voice for the second half so that no one could hear him except him and his good daughter.
"...Well, I know."
After listening to what he said, the old aunt nodded repeatedly. Although it was the same answer, her tone changed subtly.
"Then, Xiaofeng, you will be responsible for their safety?"
Xia Wuyou didn't hear it clearly, but she didn't care and just continued to give instructions as Xu Shi said.
Not only the white-haired lolita is incapable of fighting, but there is also Pan Ling.
Maybe Xie Qingyan? She's not very confident in this aspect either.
"Don't worry about me, just take care of these little girls."
The dog woman waved her hand and refused, "Don't underestimate people, okay?"
Her ability can still be useful. Now everyone knows that there are also creatures with supernatural powers among marine creatures. Xie Qingyan's "Ability Invalidation" can also be aura-shaped, which can save everyone a lot of trouble.
"Huh? Don't want it?"
Pan Feng frowned, "I would rather go to the front with you, Master..."
"Definitely next time."
Xia Xiaomao touched her head and said, "You still need to practice. This time, you should mainly focus on watching and learning."
"No."
Xu Shi echoed, "Besides, we don't even know when it's time for us to take action. It's not good to be in such a hurry."
"Then what do we do now?"
Xu Shi looked out the window and said two words with a smile.
"Watch a show."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the sea surge like a boil.
Along with the noise, a large number of fish emerged from the water and quickly attacked the fleet!
…
"Get ready to meet the enemy!"
Not everyone can be like Xu Shi and be completely calm in the face of this kind of thing.
At least not the knight commander surnamed Chen in the royal court, who was fully armed and ready to go.
He also glanced at Xu Shi's fleet, and when he saw the other party's lack of effort, he couldn't help but cursed in a low voice, "Hey, you know that outsiders are unreliable!"
"You are the Knight Commander of the Royal Court. When something happens, do you think of relying on others first?"
Cheng Gujian was unfazed. He stood on the bow of the boat with his hands behind his hands and sighed softly.
"Master, I..."
"We'll save the nonsense until after the battle."
Cheng Gujian waved his hand, "Didn't I teach you how to deal with it? Launch the boat!"
"……yes!"
The knight commander did not dare to say any more and quickly made arrangements.
Obviously, Cheng Gujian had already anticipated the current situation - there was a high probability that Xu Shi and his party would remain on the sidelines and not take action until the critical moment. He did have this position and capital.
It would be strange if they really came to be the vanguard... Therefore, instead of accusing the despicable outsiders, it would be better to pay more attention to the Holy See and his party not far away. The best thing to do now is to overpower them.
It was too late, then it was too late. When I was sighing, Wang Ting's troops had already started to take action. A large number of small boats dropped from the large ship. The soldiers formed groups of several people and formed a formation to meet the incoming fish.
"shooting!"
Following the knight commander's order, everyone methodically strafed the sea surface. In conjunction with the grenades they carried and the artillery on the large ship, the situation was stabilized within a short time and many crazy swimming fish were eliminated.
The smell of blood in the sea breeze became stronger and stronger, and the water became more red.
As for those fish that get close at every opportunity, there are also special protective hands on the boat. As long as the boat keeps traveling at high speed, this kind of suicide attack will not have much impact.
Seeing this scene, Cheng Gujian secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he had been watching from the sidelines, Xu Shi still had some conscience. While teaching them how to use weapons, he also taught them some experience in maritime combat.
In other words, it was his experience the last time he faced the fish tide - breaking his troops into pieces and using the main ship as fire support.
There is a saying that the biggest disadvantage of maritime warfare is that there is nowhere to stay. Once you fall into the sea, it is difficult to save yourself. And if you only gather on large ships, your mobility will be greatly limited. This method can alleviate this aspect very well. burden.
And breaking them into parts means breaking them up. When facing a large number of fish with flexible movements but low intelligence, it is definitely a very effective method.
"Fire, fire!"
"You, die for me!"
“Everything is created to nourish people!”
"Knead it, this thing is much easier to use than a long sword!"
The victory in the first battle also greatly boosted the morale of the Royal Court soldiers, and shouts of triumph suddenly rang out from the sea.
To be honest, what everyone is most worried about is lack of experience. No one has ever faced such an opponent.
But as time went by, everyone gradually lost their initial stiffness and gradually entered the state.
This is undoubtedly a happy thing.
Of course, it would be better if the Holy See could suffer some more losses.
There was no help from the Holy See, which made them a little confused at first.
However, no one is a vegetarian. After a short period of decline, they also imitated Wang Ting's tactics in their own way.
Then I saw a hunched silver knight stepping onto the bow of the ship and waving his hands downward vigorously.
In an instant, everyone felt that the surrounding temperature had dropped a lot. When they looked down, they saw that the sea around the Holy See had turned into solid ice, allowing them to stay.
Woc, ice!
As long as the battlefield problems are solved, the next thing will be much simpler. Following their orders, a large number of priests and priests jumped off the boat, waving their weapons, and started a fierce battle with the fish.
The way of fighting is very consistent with Xu Shi's fantasy of a magical world like the Hualan Empire - most of the priests hold scepters. If you wave them left or right, various colorful light balls will burst out. And out.
Of course, there are also those who are willing to fight in close quarters, such as Luo Yu who leads the way.
He was seen holding a long sword in his hand and began to fight hand-to-hand with the fish. Wherever the sword touched, it could accurately take the life of the opponent. The slightly weaker creatures shrank in an instant and turned into a fish. Group of mummies.
This is the benefit of the devouring ability. It is obvious that he is turning the power of the fish school into his own supply, so although he will also be injured, he is generally getting braver as he fights, and he becomes more and more excited, quite red-eyed. the trend of.
Another person worthy of attention is the Templar Commander Qin Yiyan.
Compared to Luo Yu's targeted and precise strikes, her fighting style is even more wild - because this guy uses a heavy sword! Each move covers a wider area. A swing of the sword will fly away a school of fish just like playing tennis. The aftershocks will even shatter the surrounding ice together. What stands out is the powerful force.
Guigui, a strange woman, right?
The key point is that she doesn't swing just one sword each time, but ten or even nine swords!
This is closely related to her ability - you can see a glimmer of light between her eyebrows, and then a shadow will remain in place. This is not an afterimage caused by high-speed movement, but a real clone. exist.
These are not weakened clones. The strength of each phantom is as terrifying as her own. However, their actions are not rigid imitations, but they really seem to have their own consciousness, and they even cooperate.
The main ship also provided good support. Not only was the ice-wielding Silver Knight trying his best to expand the battlefield, but Lu Baiyan was also cooperating behind him. If there were any mistakes, they would be repaired quickly.
"Xiao Luoyu, you did a good job!"
The battle with the Holy See also achieved very good results, and Qin Yiyan took a moment to praise it.
"That's right, Sister Qin!"
Luo Yu also responded with high spirits. Being favored by a beauty naturally made him feel happy.
"Oh ho, clone?"
Xu Shi had a panoramic view of all this, and he couldn't help but admire Qin Yiyan's ability.
This is all S... The ability of the clones is one thing, but at the same time, he also knows that those phantoms are definitely not really self-aware, but Qin Yiyan is multi-tasking and directing them to carry out attacks.
Being able to control about ten clones at the same time is undoubtedly a manifestation of super mental power. You know, most people have difficulty drawing circles with their left hand and squares with their right hand.
Xu Shi secretly thought about it, and was very sure that the other Bai Yin would never be her opponent. Even Luo Yu was not good enough in front of her. This clone had the ability to be both fast and double A. There were too many ways to play. Well...no wonder she can sit in the position of knight commander.
Xie Qingyan, who was on the side, saw this and said with a half-smile, "Ha, you said you are not interested in me?"
"Can you clarify the main problem? Isn't this observing and recording the abilities of this group of people?"
Xu Shi held his forehead helplessly, being jealous of anything will only harm you, okay?
"Do you believe it?"
The dog woman looked at Xia Wuyou and asked with interest.
"It's hard to say."
Xia Mao Mao also started to get angry. He spread his hands and echoed with a strange expression.
Are you two together again? Xu Shi was so angry that he wanted to laugh. He wished he could catch these two guys right now, pull off their pants and spank their butts, so that everyone could see who was the real tambourine leader.
He simply ignored the strange annoyance of the two men singing and singing. Seeing that the battle situation was gradually stabilizing, he turned his head and stared at Pan Ling who was watching the battle, "Come here."
"Um?"
The silly apprentice was shocked and quickly shook his head in denial, "I didn't think so, Master."
She didn't dare to read Xu Shi's mind, but she could guess a little bit. The master wasn't going to use her as a punching bag... bleat, bleat, bleat.
"Who cares what you think."
Xu Shi rolled his eyes at her and said, "Let's take a quiz. What should we do now to further expand our advantage?"
"oh……"
Pan Ling immediately breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that she wasn't going to spank her in public, shook her head and thought seriously.
After a while, she pursed her lips and gave her answer.
"We should... lure our enemies, ah no, enemy fish over here? Is that so, Master?"
"……Ha ha ha ha!"
Xu Shi was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud and patted the little girl on the shoulder happily.
"Good apprentice, you are not far away from becoming a master!"
