The air support from the Storm Horn immediately alleviated the crisis faced by the Redoubt.
From Major General Coverdale to the ordinary soldiers whose faces were covered in soot, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
However.
At this time, the battle at the estuary was far from over.
Because the two large species responsible for sealing off the sea, the Iron-armored Seahorse and the Phantom Shrimp, were still swimming on the sea near the estuary. They even began to turn around after seeing their companions' attack fail.
Poof!
Crack!
Even if the Redoubt, the last nail guarding the estuary, had been saved, even if Huggins' sea monster army was stranded on the riverbed where the tide receded as Major General expected.
But as long as these two large species were still there, Huggins, who had retreated from the upper reaches of the Leiden River, could easily retreat.
However.
Now, the target of the two sea monsters was not the Redoubt, which was already half-dead and looked like it would fall down with a single breath.
Instead, it was Solomon and his fourth-level battleship, the Royalguard, which had arrived from the other side before Elvin's Storm Horn.
Obviously, compared to the fortresses on land, the battleships at sea were easier to deal with.
However, the returning Royalguard looked a little strange at this time.
Other than the golden flag of the Kingdom of Tylon fluttering high on the main mast, all the sails on the battleship had been completely lowered.
But the hull of the entire battleship was slightly above the water surface. It was as if it was flying, drawing a long line in the water as it sped over!
If one looked carefully, one would find that in the seawater below the bow, a translucent giant fur seal that seemed to be completely composed of seawater was poking its head out.
The fur seal formed by seawater surrounded the Royalguard with a water belt that extended from its body. Every trace of power in the surrounding waves turned into surging power for the battleship to move forward.
Solomon's Tamed Demon: Sepes.
The devil species was a water elemental creature that looked like a large fur seal. Its body length was more than 20 meters. At the same time, it was also the kin of Baipa, one of the 72 most powerful demons recorded in Solomon's Book of Gold.
The demon god Baipa was a duke in the lower realm. Its true form was an intelligent mermaid in the form of a demon. It had various extraordinary abilities corresponding to navigation.
It was this ability that affected his kin, making them excellent assistants for ships at sea. Even if she didn't have any other abilities, just her speed alone was enough to make her a "God-level" familiar.
Moreover, as a water elemental monster that lived in the lower realms, how could its combat strength be weak?
It was exactly because of such a capable tamed demon that "Royal Guardian" could return faster than "Storm Horn" even though it was further away from the estuary than "Storm Horn"!
If not for the fact that Solomon had always had a game mentality when hunting pirates, he would have killed them until they cried for their parents. Because as long as one entered his line of sight, it was impossible to escape.
However, it was clear that Solomon was shocked by such a grand "welcome ceremony" as soon as he approached the estuary.
It must be noted that when he tested the Siren's Song in New Haven, he had been very careful.
In the face of a "large sea demon," for insurance purposes, the military deployed a luxurious lineup of one first-level warship and three second-level warships.
Although it was a super-large sea monster with an overall length of more than 240 meters, it was already half a step into the ranks of giant species.
Now, letting a fourth-level warship like Royal Guardian face two large species with an average body length of 70 meters alone, even if he had many trump cards, was simply courting death.
Moreover, seeing that the redoubt was already half-destroyed, he couldn't count on it at all.
Solomon decisively ordered.
"Everyone, get ready for battle! Gunner, reload! Target: two large sea monsters. Fire at will, fire! "
Before the two large species launched an encirclement, Royal Guardian had already taken the lead to launch an attack.
"What's going on, when did this guy who has always been sneaky become so proactive? He's fighting two large species at once? "
Dozens of kilometers away, Elvin saw this scene clearly through the seabird's vision.
Just as he was admiring Solomon's sense of responsibility at the critical moment, he realized that he was still too young.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The scattered warships fired in unison, almost none of them hit.
However, the roar of the cannons successfully interrupted the two large species' scattered encirclement in a futile attempt to block the battleship in the middle. They chased after it from behind side by side.
"Sepes! Northwest direction, full speed ahead! "
Then, Elvin saw the Royal Guardian's speed increase by another level, and it rushed towards … his direction at full speed.
"Bertram, you b * stard!"
Even with the help of the "Monsoon Goddess" on the bow of the ship, it would take about two hours for the Storm Horn to reach the estuary with a full 30% speed increase.
Based on the current distance and relative speed between the two, it was estimated that they would meet in about 20 minutes!
This guy didn't even think of being a hero who turned the tide and killed the remaining two large species. It was obvious that he wanted to drag the Storm Horn into the water and fight two against two.
He might even have the intention to take revenge for the last time.
It was hard to change one's nature!
Behind the two sea monsters that were chasing after them, the 'Water Cannon Humpback Whale' had resurfaced after a round of 'Divine Justice'. However, it looked really miserable. Its fins were broken, and there was not an intact part of its body. Even the rigid shell that covered its giant head had a very obvious crack.
Most importantly, the bone "cannon" that extended diagonally from the top of its head was completely broken. Other than spraying water, it could no longer fire any cannonballs.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Facing this final enemy, the general couldn't continue to hide. He pulled out his longsword and drew a long white line on the sea surface as he rushed towards it.
No matter what.
The horn for the counterattack at the estuary finally sounded.
In the face of the Pirate King who controlled the sea monster army under his command, a mere five sea monsters were just a small fraction. Even if they tried their best to annihilate all these sea monsters, it wouldn't affect the critical battle situation on the Pirate King's side.
However, as long as they defended their defensive area and didn't let the remaining sea monsters have a chance to wreak havoc along the coast, they would be worthy of the military badge on their shoulders.
Moreover.
"Even if we die, we must leave a piece of flesh for Huggins!"
This was the last stubbornness of the native soldiers led by Major General Coverdale!
.....
Kaboom! Kaboom! Kaboom! Kaboom!
In the Golden Lion City, a total of four "Giant Hammer Mantis Shrimp" were working as a demolition team. Although the cost of the magnificent headquarters of the "Nederland Bank Group" might be dozens or even hundreds of times more expensive than the estuary's bastion, its degree of sturdiness was worlds apart.
Even the "bastion" couldn't withstand the hammering of the "Mantis Shrimp", let alone such an ordinary building.
Moreover, it was a professional demolition team composed of a total of four "Mantis Shrimp"!
In just a few minutes, the tall steeple, sharp rib vault, flying buttresses, and expensive transparent glass windows, the entire six-story "Bank Group Headquarters Building" had been completely razed to the ground!
In the middle of the ruins, there was a stair-shaped circular pit made entirely of granite. At the bottom of the circular pit was a pure steel mechanical door that weighed more than two hundred tons.
At this moment, the door that had been installed here since the construction of the underground vault was exposed to the outside world for the first time.
Due to the magical effects of alchemy, the door from one hundred and twenty years ago still shone with an extremely cold and hard steel luster even now.
Solid, reliable, and unshakable!
Moreover, this place had obviously entered the highest level of alert and was completely locked from the inside.
Unless all sixteen directors of the Bank Group who had the authority to open this door were present, it would be impossible for them to open this door together.
However, for Huggins, this scene had been rehearsed countless times in his heart. How could a mere door stop him?
Dong! Dong!
As the underground cave shook, the four "Giant Hammer Mantis Shrimp" retreated one after another. Two "Earthquake Double-Headed Tortoises" and four "Earth Belly Snake Lizards" had already rushed forward.
Roar …!
Hiss …!
They divided into two groups in the southwest and northeast direction of the door. Each of them formed a circle and began to … dig holes!
Each group of two "Earth Belly Snake Lizards" crossed each other in opposite directions, one on the outside and one on the inside to form a ring. The "Earthquake Double-Headed Tortoises" stood outside the ring.
The "Earth Belly Snake Lizards" could easily turn rocks into muddy water while the "Earthquake Double-Headed Tortoises" could accurately destroy the underground rock structure. With the cooperation of the two, the muddy water within the ring immediately surged out. It was more efficient than any modern drilling machine!
Hualala …
Soon, two holes with a diameter of about ten meters gradually appeared.
The so-called alchemy method that could turn rocks as hard as steel did not pose much of an obstacle to the innate ability of the sea monsters.
This was because they had intentionally controlled their strength in order to prevent the underground vault from completely collapsing.
That was because what Huggins wanted was the precious collection inside, not the destruction of the vault.
Even so …
With the efficiency of these six giant monsters, it might not even take twenty minutes for them to completely open up the first floor of the vault that was fifteen meters underground!
Huggins stood in the middle of the group of giant monsters with his hands behind his back. He raised his head and glanced at the dazzling "cathedral" not far away from here. It was also the only thing that could stop him now.
He muttered to himself, "I hope you quacks can be tactful and not disturb me …"
