Whoosh whoosh whoosh …
These waves, which were no more than one meter high, looked like they were just large and wide waves, but at most, they had a larger area of influence.
There was no sign of the unstoppable force of a terrifying natural disaster like a tsunami!
In fact.
Tsunamis were compared to ordinary waves and storm surges with equally shocking destructive power.
The latter two were mainly the movement of the surface of the sea, while tsunamis were the movement of the sea as a whole. Don't forget, the average depth here was 1,200 meters, and the deepest was more than 6,000 meters at the far sea border!
It was impossible to estimate how much seawater this "small" wave had stirred up! It was even more difficult to estimate the surging energy contained in it!
Even though the wave crest was not high at all, the wavelength (the distance between the two wave crests) was hundreds of kilometers. Looking at the sea, it seemed that there was only one wave.
In addition, the speed of the wave crest was extremely fast, even reaching 600 to 1,000 kilometers per hour. In the blink of an eye, it could rush from the far sea to the shore and truly display its power.
In other words, the distance that would take the Eternal Icon three days to reach would only take them … an hour to reach the "tsunami"!
In the face of this attack, which was equivalent to a natural disaster, even if the Tylon Kingdom's garrison sent out patrol ships and set up observation points on scattered islands, it would not serve as a warning at all.
Because even the fastest needle-tailed swallow on the sea only had a maximum speed of 350 kilometers per hour, not to mention the terns that were only good at long-distance flying.
Even the flight of birds was not as fast as the speed of this "wave"!
When the crew of the patrol ship and the fixed observation station saw the tsunami coming, even if they released the terns, it was impossible for them to send the message back before the tsunami arrived.
Therefore, when they encountered the patrol ships or fixed observation points built on the islands that obviously belonged to the Tylon Kingdom, they were too lazy to stop and deal with these small insects that could not hinder them at all.
The most fortunate thing for the Tylon Kingdom's navy was.
Before it was really close to the coast, the destructive power of the tsunami had not really been unleashed. The merchant ships and patrol ships distributed in this area did not suffer any damage.
However.
When the tsunami reached Elvin's location, it was actually very close to the coast. Even if the Storm Horn sailed normally, it would only take half a day.
As the sea became shallower, the accumulated energy began to be released. The wave height had quickly risen to six meters and continued to rise.
The power that could destroy heaven and earth was beginning to show.
Hua hua hua …
"Is that … a tsunami?!"
The tall water wall was imposing, as if thousands of soldiers and horses were rushing over from the distant sea.
As Elvin's spiritual power increased again, the seabird's detection range expanded again. The real-time transmission range had reached 70 kilometers. Coupled with the bird's superb eyesight, it actually discovered the unusual "wave peak" from 100 kilometers away.
Even though Elvin had the advantage of reconnaissance, he had no more than ten minutes for Storm Horn.
"Left full rudder! Change the ship with the wind! Prepare for the impact of the huge wave! "
They had been following Elvin on the sea for a long time, so they had rich experience in dealing with all kinds of dangerous situations. Perhaps their skills might not be the best among their peers, but their nerves were thicker than anyone else's!
The crew members who didn't notice the tsunami neither questioned nor panicked. Everyone carried out their duties.
Hu — —
Under the leadership of the wireline captain, Vader, the sailor and the helmsman, Tracy, the Storm Horn drew a perfect white trajectory on the sea and completed a textbook turn.
The bow of the ship with the "Goddess of Monsoon" hanging on it took the initiative to welcome the huge wave.
This time, Elvin didn't personally steer the ship, because all his attention was focused on the huge wave peak. The huge black mass of strange things had attracted his attention!
They didn't hide their arrogance at all. It was actually close to a hundred sea monsters riding on the waves!!!
Huge shellfish, octopuses baring their fangs and brandishing their claws, colorful mantis shrimps, aberrant deep sea fishes, huge turtles with two heads …
The one thing they all had in common was their size. Even the smallest sea monster was about the size of a Level Six warship.
Behind the sea monsters was a black pirate ship that wasn't smaller than a Level Two warship. It was also galloping on the sea.
Even without the sails, Elvin recognized its identity at first glance. It was the pirate king "Octopus Ghost" Huggins' ship, the Eternal Icon!
Bang — —
The Storm Horn rushed onto the water wall. It was only five kilometers away from the nearest sea monster. Even the hard shell and wriggling tentacles on its body could be clearly seen with the naked eye.
Even if the other party didn't choose to attack, the crew of the Storm Horn couldn't help but break out in cold sweat.
"Isn't this a little too big?!"
Milan, who was standing beside Elvin, obviously also noticed the scene on the huge wave. Her mouth was wide open, and her chin almost hit the deck.
Milan couldn't help but be surprised. At the beginning, it was clearly a terrorist attack. Now, you're suddenly telling me that it's a full-scale war?!
You said it was an attack by Huggins, but from the looks of it, people would think that it was the "Mother of Sea Monsters" that ruled the Black Sea, Erketo, that had declared a full-scale war on the humans?!
Bang — —
The Storm Horn broke through the peak of the tsunami and smashed into the water again.
The army of sea monsters and the pirate ships had already left on the waves, leaving the Storm Horn to face the second and third waves that were approaching.
However, this might be the limit of the sea monsters' ability. After the third wave, the sea returned to calm. Even if there were aftershocks, they couldn't reach the level of the first wave.
"Captain, what should we do? Continue to return? "
If it was a natural tsunami, the first mate wouldn't even ask.
Of course, they would immediately sail into the deep sea. The waves there weren't high and posed little threat to ships. However, if they dared to take shelter near the port, they would immediately be smashed to pieces by the monstrous waves that were dozens of meters high.
Since it was a man-made tsunami, there was no follow-up, which meant that there wouldn't be much danger in taking shelter near the port.
However.
Elvin, as the commander of the allied forces who carried out this defensive mission, had another important consideration.
Because he was very clear about the defensive forces along the Leiden Valley, he knew better.
After being attacked by the tsunami, they would have to face hundreds of sea monsters. Even if the garrison had as many as 8,000 people and dozens of Transcendents, they would definitely not be able to resist!
In the previous defense plan, all the possibilities were possible.
They thought that the most likely thing he would do was to break in with an elite team. They had also made all kinds of plans. Even if he organized a powerful pirate allied forces again, they could guarantee that they wouldn't be able to return alive.
However, in the face of such an open and aboveboard scheme …
"The Pirate King is indeed the Pirate King. He decisively brought in strong reinforcements when he was at a disadvantage and used his overwhelming power to suppress others. Before this, who would have thought that a powerful kingdom would be at a disadvantage in the face of pirates? "
This situation wasn't like the iron nail that was nailed into a coconut shell, but an iron hammer that could smash a coconut into pieces!
If the Storm Horn returned to the port to assist in the defense, they would probably face an unimaginable bitter battle.
However, there were more than 20 cities of various sizes along the Leiden Valley, where more than a million residents lived.
If hundreds of sea monsters that were extremely hostile to humans were allowed to wreak havoc, the consequences would only be more tragic than the Baijing Harbor massacre!
Through the seabird reconnaissance network, Elvin clearly saw that after the sea monster army broke through the estuary, they left behind a small team of sea monsters to guard the estuary and went against the current.
Although he still didn't know where their final destination was, at least the situation at the estuary wasn't hopeless yet.
With the redoubt guarded by the Great Knight, Major General Coverdale, this battle wasn't impossible.
Standing on the stern, Elvin gave orders to all the crew members. His expression was solemn, and every word was powerful.
"Change sides with the wind! We're returning to support the headquarters! "
.....
Time moved forward by more than ten minutes.
It was a very normal morning for the Water City, Niske, located at the estuary of the Leiden Valley.
Even if the weather was slightly gloomy, it didn't affect the tourists' mood.
As a famous Water City, Niske's beach was a must-see place for tourists.
Moreover, because the small towns "Patra" and "Ancona", which were located to the north and south of the water city of Niske, respectively, were responsible for the supply of the water city's fishing industry. Therefore, the beach, which was originally created for tourism, was only left with picturesque scenery.
From near to far, the snow-white waves and the clear seawater turned light blue, then blue, and finally a deep blue in the distance.
Chirp chirp chirp … chirp chirp chirp …
Snow-white seagulls rose and fell in the coastal waters, and many gathered around the tourists who were feeding them on the beach. Living in this harmonious city, these elves of the sky and sea weren't afraid of humans at all.
"Brother, do you think the sandcastle I made is pretty?"
The little girl was playing with the sand on the beach with her brother. The child who had never seen the sea before was so excited that she didn't even care about the sand on her bright little face.
A young man wearing an old shirt and overalls smiled as he watched his sister play, reminding her to be careful and not to run around.
In fact, from the young man's clothes, it was obvious that the brother and sister weren't from the rich and idle middle class.
A few days ago, the young man named Kurt, through his own hard work and effort, successfully entered the largest textile factory in his hometown and became a textile worker with a decent income.
After working hard for a while, he finally saved enough money for the trip and was able to bring his sister to the beautiful Niske of her dreams to see the world.
He even hoped that his sister could leave the small town in the future and live in a beautiful big city like Niske, where she wouldn't have to worry about food and clothing, just like those noble ladies.
Although life was often oppressed by reality, everyone had the right to pursue their dreams, right?
In Niske, they couldn't enjoy the paintings and music that required artistic training, but the beach could always carry the joy of childhood.
"Hahahaha …"
"Come and chase me, idiot!"
At this time, on the beach, not only were there commoners like them, even the obviously well-dressed rich people didn't stop their children from playing on the beach.
A carefree childhood was probably the time when their hearts were closest to each other.
