After killing the "Skeleton Eel".
Before the garrison on the city wall could breathe a sigh of relief, the "Giant Hammer Mantis Shrimp" that had been wandering around and waiting for an opportunity finally landed on the headland.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh …
Before this, it was indifferent when its companions charged into the enemy's ranks. It was only after their companions had been killed that they began to take action.
Moreover, the "Giant Hammer Mantis Shrimp" that only knew how to charge forward recklessly was obviously much more cunning than the "Skeleton Eel".
Due to the unique design of the "redoubt", it ensured that no matter which direction the enemy attacked from, they would face the firepower of two to three redoubts at the same time.
Learning from its companions' mistakes, it did not choose to take the seemingly isolated redoubt that was actually covered by multiple firepower. Instead, it rushed to the "middle embankment" between two redoubts.
Although it would also be covered by the heavy cannons on both sides of the redoubt, the "middle embankment" that faced it head-on only had small 8-pound cannons and a group of musketeers lined up with guns.
This choice might not make much sense to humans, but it was the best direction to attack the "Mantis Shrimp" that was large and heavily armored. It was obviously inconvenient to move on land.
This sea monster whose real age could only be measured in "months" clearly showed a hunting wisdom that far surpassed its companions.
Rustle rustle rustle …
The colorful shell that glowed with a cold and hard luster completely covered the entire body of this super mantis shrimp. It was like a train covered in iron armor. It moved forward unhurriedly with countless slender legs on its abdomen.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Clang!
Clang!
The iron cannonball hit the shell.
Sparks flew everywhere!
It did not have the [Danger Premonition] ability of the "Skeleton Eel" that allowed it to dodge the cannonballs flying towards it, but its shell was its strongest shield.
The super strong biological armor not only limited its movement speed and flexibility, but also gave it a terrifying defensive ability.
Even if the same place was hit two or three times in a row, there would only be a harmless crack, let alone a front-loaded smoothbore cannon that was so accurate. How could a moving target be hit in the same place so easily?
It did not give the defenders more time to react.
It ran all the way to the bottom of the rammed earth buffer slope of the redoubt. Its head was raised high, and the place where a normal "Mantis Shrimp" should have its antennae was replaced by a cluster of slender tentacles that looked like sea anemones.
However, the tentacles would only give the sea monster stronger senses than before.
The red tentacles on its head were constantly waving, as if it was thinking about where to attack. Especially when it was attacked by the "water cannon humpback whale" earlier, it already knew that the 20-meter-high rammed earth layer below had a very strong buffer, and its attack might not be effective.
Therefore …
The tail limb rubbed against the ventral surface of the tailbone, producing a crisp "ka-da … ka-da" sound, like the loud drumbeats of an army before an attack!
The upper body of the Giant Hammer Mantis Shrimp was raised 25 meters high. Even though the cannons had begun to shatter its shell at close range, it did not care at all.
Because in the next moment … it was earth-shattering!
Rumble!!!
Amidst the dazzling flames, it was as if an entire ammunition depot had exploded.
The earth shook and the mountains shook.
Countless bricks and soil were thrown into the air. Among them were black heavy iron cannons, unfired ammunition, and … bloody human bodies that looked like rags.
On its left, the place where the "middle embankment" was connected to the "flange fort" had completely disappeared. Even half of the "flange fort" had been "blown up".
The hundreds of defenders in this area did not even have time to make a sound before they were all wiped out in an instant!
Only then did it slowly retract a mandible with three pairs of serrated teeth that looked like a flat giant hammer. It was obvious that the destructive blow just now came from this terrifying mandible.
This was the terrifying weapon that the Giant Hammer Mantis Shrimp created to hunt and defend against enemies. It was known as the Plundering Mantis Shrimp.
When it attacked its prey, it could eject the astonishingly hard giant hammer in a millionth of a second. The high temperature generated by the powerful impact of the ejection could even ionize the surrounding air and cause lightning-like sparks to appear.
The tragic state of the flange fort had already provided the best explanation for its attack power!
"Ka-Da … Ka-Da …"
After the successful attack, the Giant Hammer Mantis Shrimp's tail limb rubbed against the ventral surface of the tailbone again, making that crisp sound as if it was celebrating its victory.
However, the sound was heard by the defenders in the redoubt who were lucky enough to survive the disaster. It was like a death sentence to them!
One strike had almost destroyed a quarter of the redoubt. How long would it take to destroy the entire redoubt and all the people in it?
One minute? Two minutes?
The Giant Hammer Mantis Shrimp, with its absolute defense and attack power, made every person who had just killed a sea monster fall into the darkest abyss from the top of the mountain before they had the chance to enjoy the victory!
Thud … Thud … Thud …
Major General Coverdale, the Great Knight, who had just unleashed his full strength and collided with the large Skeleton Eel, had barely recovered at this moment. He stepped on the rocks on the second floor of the redoubt and walked to the front of the team.
A Knight's combat power had always been a type of explosive Transcendent energy. It was impossible for a knight to fight an enemy for three days and three nights without stopping.
With each outburst, it would only be weaker and weaker until only the strength of the body was left.
The major general knew very well that after blocking the Water Cannon Humpback Whale and killing the Skeleton Eel, he might be able to perform one or two more outbursts on the level of [Profound Meaning: Steel City Shield Strike].
However, he had no confidence in defeating the enemy in front of him that seemed to have no weakness at all, at least not until the enemy tore down the entire redoubt!
However, even if he could not defeat the enemy, he had to … fight!
Facing the eyes of the soldiers around him, he slowly raised the longsword in his hand and declared his determination and oath to the soldiers firmly.
"For the innocent people who died miserably!
For our comrades who sacrificed themselves!
For His Majesty!
Fight to the death! No retreat! "
"Fight to the death! No retreat! "
"Fight to the death! No retreat! "
The soldiers shouted at the same time and poured the scorching cannonballs that carried their fury onto the Mantis Shrimp again.
.....
Sailing with the wind.
The power of the Monsoon Goddess on the bow of the ship was fully unleashed. The Storm Horn, which had brushed past the sea monster army, returned at full speed to reinforce them.
Thanks to the expanded reconnaissance network, Elvin had a panoramic view of the tragic state of Niske Water City and the estuary on his way back. After the tsunami, everything was razed to the ground. It was a scene of devastation and corpses strewn everywhere.
Flap flap …
Two white seagulls flew over the ruins of the city.
The once beautiful Water City, Niske, was almost gone. The beautiful buildings all over the city, the picturesque performance squares, the crisscrossing bridges … and the restaurant that he had just visited before he set off.
Most of the districts near the coast were gone. Even the buildings that were lucky enough to survive were crumbling at this time.
The crystallization of human civilization that had been built bit by bit over hundreds of years, the countless treasures of art, and the people who loved music, painting, sculpture, and all kinds of beautiful things were all … gone.
After destroying everything, a large number of sea monsters had gone against the current on the huge waves. No one knew where they went. The battle at the estuary had just reached its climax.
On the redoubt, although the general and the artillerymen had successfully killed a sea monster together, the colorful "Mantis Shrimp" had already landed, and a "whale" was still shooting "water cannonballs" from afar. The redoubt had been in a passive situation all the time.
In particular, the range, power, and speed of the "water cannonballs" were comparable to modern artillery. In the redoubt, the range of the front-loaded smoothbore cannons was lagging behind. There was no way they could fight back at all!
When the seagulls saw the situation there, the battle at the redoubt was going well. They had already taken the first kill of the sea monster!
If they were facing a group of sea monsters head-on in the sea, of course, they would run as far away as possible. They would never do something like hitting a rock with an egg.
However, based on the five, no, four sea monsters that had besieged the redoubt so far, there was still a chance for them to fight back.
Because he saw that on the other side of the cape, the battleship Royalguard, which had also returned, had revealed its head. Together with the redoubt itself and the power of Major General Coverdale's Great Knight, they still had a chance of winning this battle …
At this moment.
Boom!!!
The "Giant Hammer Mantis Shrimp" launched an earth-shattering attack.
The redoubt that Elvin had high hopes for disappeared by a quarter in an instant.
The slap in the face came so quickly!
"This … this … is the Mantis Shrimp becoming a spirit?"
Not only Elvin, but even Milan, who had been using the telepathic bond, was shocked when she saw this scene.
Even if the Mantis Shrimp was miniaturized, it was still the king of the sea. Its claws could release a huge amount of energy in an instant and directly break the shells of shellfish. It was not surprising that the giant Mantis Shrimp, which was almost a hundred meters long, could create such a scene.
As long as the "Giant Hammer Mantis Shrimp" struck three more times, the "whale" in the distance wouldn't be able to do anything. This "redoubt" that had survived the tsunami would disappear together with most of Niske Water City.
However, the Storm Horn was still almost sixty kilometers away from the estuary. Even if the Royalguard was slightly closer, it would not be able to provide fire support at this time!
Elvin realized that he had to do something. Otherwise, he would really consider deserting and running away.
Da!
He quickly took out a box stuffed with soft stuffing from his "magic pocket" and carefully put it on the ground.
Soon, the white seagulls grabbed the dark green [Powerful Voodoo Potion] in the box, formed a flying formation, and flew to the estuary.
Then, the nine black-feathered frigatebirds and the ten great albatrosses in his hand followed closely behind. However, what they held in their claws was not the potion, but … alchemy bombs!
Looking at the backs of the seagulls and the coastline of the continent in the distance, Elvin murmured.
"Major General, hang in there! The air support will arrive in ten minutes! "
