GOR Chapter 560 Bang Bang! Bang Bang!
Due to the continuous rainfall in the north, the water level of the river was much higher than before.
This was originally a natural river in the north of the continent. Ever since the empire began to construct the Kabaski Defense Line three years ago, they had spent tens of thousands of men and invested nearly a million gold coins. Over the course of two years, the original river had been widened by at least one fold.
That was especially true for the estuary on the east side. The river had been widened by three times, making this river, which was not too famous on the continent, a man-made river with a transport capacity second only to the Grand Lancang Canal in the Roland Empire.
All of this was for the sake of war.
One after another, the Empire's Sea Soul class ships slowly moved forward. Due to the lack of wind, the ships moved very slowly. The three sails on the ships were the traditional white colour of the Roland Empire's navy. At the top of the sails, the Empire's Thorned Flower flag fluttered.
In order for these modified ships to be able to operate in inland rivers, both sides of the hull below the waterline were installed with rollers that could be used to roll in the water.
On the southern bank of the grand canal was one of the three strongholds of the Kabasky Line of Defence, the Eastern Stronghold.
There were three divisions of the Tempest Legion stationed here and over 100,000 local garrison soldiers who had been mobilized to the north.
Next, this canal became a strong barrier to defend the Empire's Northern and Eastern Stronghold.
This stronghold was slightly smaller compared to the main stronghold that General Rostock personally guarded in the central part of the Kabasky Line of Defence. However, the cost of building this stronghold was much higher.
In order to turn this man-made river into a complete part of the eastern part of the Kaspersky Defensive Line, this fortress was built on the southern bank of the river. Other than being able to act as a moat, this river would also act as a natural barrier for the Empire's army during wartime.
If the sinners wanted to cross the river, it would be a very difficult task. If they attempted to use boats, the Empire's navy would be able to enter the river from the eastern estuary and crush them on the water.
The Empire's navy had been operating for many years and had experienced many expeditions in the Southeast. When it came to water, this navy was definitely a trustworthy force. The crime may be very serious. However, even Du Wei did not believe that the orcs' shipbuilding technology could surpass that of humans.
And if the other party wanted to build a bridge, it would be an impossible task! The navy could easily destroy the pontoon bridge with their sturdy ships. In fact … they could first let a portion of the sinners cross the river and then destroy the bridge. That way, the sinners who crossed the river would only end up being surrounded and annihilated.
The Sinners also seemed to understand the difficulty of crossing the eastern defense line. When the war began, the Sinners' Wolf Riders also saw an outpost on the other side of the river, but they quickly retreated. According to the latest military intelligence, it seemed that the monster army on the other side of the river had been scattered. However, the other party did not attack.
On the other hand, the main stronghold in the central region had already been through a series of fierce battles.
The orcs had clearly understood the situation. They would rather use their flesh and blood to ram into the sturdy defenses of the central fortress than to attack the defensive line on the water.
At this moment, after days of continuous rain, the river level had risen, causing the river surface to become wider. The Empire's Sea Soul-class large warships could easily sail into the river. In some of the wider areas, they could even assemble into complete naval battle formations!
At this moment, the third division of the Roland Empire's East Sea Fleet was sailing towards the eastern fortress on the river surface. There were a total of 23 large Sea Soul-class large ships. All of them were loaded with strategic materials that were continuously transported from the south of the Empire.
Since the cost of inland transportation was too high, the Empire's huge navy had taken up the role of the Empire's maritime transportation team after the war began. The numerous ports in the southern coastal area of the Empire gathered all kinds of materials from the south of the Empire: weapons, food, pay, armor, winter clothes, etc. Then, the Empire's navy would ship the fully loaded ships along the eastern coastline all the way to the north. Then, they would sail inland from the mouth of the canal and transport them to the frontline fortresses.
Although there had been a rare continuous rainfall in the north these days, the south of the empire still had a heartening harvest this autumn. It could be said that the powerful national strength of the Roland Empire gave the humans far more war potential than the Sinners. With the huge supply from the rear, the human war materials could be continuously replenished to the front.
This fleet was carrying a batch of food for the winter. In order to increase the transport capacity as much as possible, these large ships were only equipped with the necessary sailors and very few combat personnel. Most of the cabins were used to carry goods.
On the deck, the sailors began to work. Under the command of the boatswain, they began to fold the sails. Some combat personnel nervously stared at the north bank of the river.
"Don't be nervous, rookie." An old sailor came over and patted a rookie who was obviously still very young. He laughed and said: "I've been to this river six times already. The army of monsters can't cross the river. They can only circle back and forth on the north bank. Let me tell you, we're safe on the water. They can't rush into the river! "
As he spoke, this old sailor whose clothes were stained with rust pointed towards the ballista cannons on the deck. Laughing, he said, "Look! See those big guys? They're very powerful! If those monsters dare to approach the shore, one shot … Bang! "
He spread out his hands and made the motion of firing the ballistae.
At this time, the person on the observation deck suddenly lowered his head and shouted: "Enemy on the north bank!!"
This shout immediately alarmed the people on the ship. Many of the sailors immediately ran to the right side of the ship.
Soon, someone shouted loudly, "Hey! Look! Over there! Over there! Those monsters are over there! Haha, it's just like the legends. "
Most of the sailors did not appear to be afraid at all. They pointed at the north bank and laughed as they scolded and pointed.
On the north bank, behind the river slope, one after another, black shadows emerged from the bushes. Those were huge brown haired wolves. They bared their fangs at the human fleet that was slowly moving tens of meters away on the river. Their mouths were constantly letting out hostile whimpers.
On the backs of the wolves, there were wolf cavalry wearing crude but hard iron armor. Their green eyes under their iron helmets coldly stared at the laughing and scolding human sailors.
The river that was tens of meters away made it impossible for the wolf cavalry to attack the ship. No matter how strong the wolves' jumping ability was, it was impossible for them to jump tens of meters onto the ship.
These wolf cavalry did not use bows and arrows. They only appeared in rows on the river and coldly looked at the human ships. Some pulled out their long swords and brought them to their mouths. They stuck out their scarlet tongues and gently licked the blood on their swords.
Some of the newbies on the ship who had not seen this scene before could not help but change their expressions when they saw the monsters. Instead, it was the experienced sailors who comforted their companions: "Don't be afraid. We're on the water. They can't do anything! Unfortunately, there are too few of them. Last time we used it, these guys ran very fast. The ballistae could not kill them in large numbers. Otherwise, with them so close to us, the captain would have ordered the ballistae to fire. "
More unscrupulous sailors even made some insulting and cursing actions towards the opposite shore.
"Monsters! Come here! Are you afraid of water! Hahahaha! "
"Come on, jump down and take a bath!!!"
"Oh, I like your fur! I really want to peel off your skin and make a new coat!! "
Hearing the sailors' insults, the commanding officer did not immediately stop them. At this point in the war, many soldiers had died on the frontlines. A deep hatred had been left between the humans and these monsters. Thus, the sailors' actions were very normal.
After letting his subordinates vent for a while, the leader of the sailors went over and viciously kicked the buttocks of some of them. He shouted: "Stop playing! Get to work!! Hurry! Hurry! Go back to your posts! "
At the helm position at the back of the ship, a middle-aged man wearing the uniform of the Imperial Navy put down the binoculars in his hand and retracted his gaze from the north bank. This was the captain of the ship. He frowned and suddenly looked at the chief officer beside him. He whispered: "I feel that something is wrong."
"There's nothing strange about it. They can only stare at us from the shore." The chief officer muttered: "Captain, we've seen this scene several times."
"But I feel that this time is different." The captain frowned. His brows were tightly knitted together: "Do you remember? Last night, we saw the enemy on the shore. Now, it seems that they have been following us from the shore for one day and one night. This has never happened before … … "
The chief officer thought about it and said: "At any rate, we're about to reach the stronghold. These fellows will not be able to cause any trouble, sir."
The captain pondered for a moment and said: "Better to be careful. Pass down my orders. Have all combat personnel prepare for battle and be on standby! Crossbowmen, get into position! "
The first mate immediately stood up and saluted. Just as he was about to respond, a voice suddenly rang out.
Boom!
A booming sound came from the bow of the ship! The roaring sound of the collision came from underwater! Before the sailors on the ship could shout out, they felt the ground shaking violently. Some of the sailors who were standing by the side of the ship were caught off guard and fell into the river.
The violent shaking of the ship instantly caused a shadow of danger to envelop everyone's heart!
"Sir, we've hit a reef." A boatswain who was used to travelling on the sea quickly came forward to report. The captain quickly shouted: "Idiot! We are not on the sea! This is an inland canal! A man-made canal! How could there be a reef? "
Just as he finished speaking, another "boom" sound could be heard!
This time, the sound was louder than the previous one. The violent shaking of the ship caused the captain's body to stagger and he nearly fell down. He held onto the rudder tightly and shouted: "What happened?!"
"We've hit something. It's underwater, at the bow of the ship!" A marine quickly ran forward to report. However, a panicked shout could be heard coming from the front.
"Below! There's something underwater! "
"Heavens! It's a living thing! What a huge shadow! "
"Ah! There's one on the right side as well! "
The shouts did not cease. At this moment, the terrifying sound of wood shattering could be heard coming from the hull of the ship! Following the violent shaking sounds, an officer whose body was covered in oil ran up and shouted in panic: "Sir! Our ship's cabin is flooded! The drainage cabins are all done for! Below … … "
"Send men to drain the water! Bastard! "The captain quickly scolded." Drain the water! Send your men to drain the water! Seal up the holes! Seal up the leaking cabins! Damn it! Is this your first day on this ship?! Do you need me to teach you these things?! "
Before he could finish scolding, he suddenly felt the shaking beneath his feet coming to a halt. This brief moment of silence seemed to bring with it a strange and dangerous aura.
However, this silence only lasted for a few breaths of time. Soon, the captain and the others shouted and the hull of the ship suddenly tilted to the right!
"What is going on? What is going on?! "
Everyone shouted out in panic. However, this big ship was slowly being lifted up by something underwater!
The hull of the ship was tilted so severely that the right side of the ship was almost completely out of the water. The entire right side of the ship was now above the surface of the water! Due to the serious tilt of the deck, many of them were unable to grab hold of anything in time and quickly slid down to the other side. Splashing sounds could be heard as a number of sailors cried out in alarm and fell into the water.
The captain held onto the rudder frame tightly. Just as he was about to say something, several large black shadows slowly emerged from the right side of the ship. They slowly emerged from the surface of the water! Those shadows were getting taller and taller, finally revealing their full appearance in front of the panicked people on the ship!
The captain felt that he was covered by the shadows. He looked to the right side in surprise and subconsciously whispered.
"God! What are these things! "
These were his last words.
Boom!!!
Finally, this Sea Soul-class ship was completely overturned by Cong Youzuo. The hull of the ship was overturned, and countless people fell into the water. The ship was completely overturned!
On the river, several behemoths that were seven or eight meters above the water opened their terrifying mouths and let out a terrifying roar!!
The river was in chaos!

Du Wei felt that he had fallen asleep and slept very deeply.
It could be said that ever since he became a magician, he had not slept so soundly for a long time.
Mages could use meditation to recover their mental strength. This meant that most mages didn't need to sleep for most of their lives. A person would spend close to a third of their life in bed. To a mage, this was simply a waste of time!
Du Wei's strength increased very quickly. As his strength increased, he slept less and less. Most of the time, he used meditation to replace sleep. Meditating for three hours a day could not only train his mental strength, but also save time to do other things.
But this time, with such a sweet sleep, even if he was unconscious in a dream, Du Wei still felt a long-lost sense of comfort.
What he didn't know was that his own body was also changing bit by bit in his sleep.
"Go to sleep, kid, go to sleep …"
Chris smiled and stood in front of Du Wei. Du Wei was as quiet as a baby.
Chris' fingertips were still stained with blood. On Du Wei's chest, on the left side of his chest, there was a huge wound!
At the exposed part, a dark red heart was slowly beating …
Thump thump! Thump thump! Thump thump! Thump thump …
Chris took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.
From his mouth, a faint milky white gas sprayed out. Very quickly, it curled around Duwei's body. That milky white gas then turned into a mass of water, shrouding Duwei's body in it.
Then, Chris reached out and gently put his skeleton-like claws into Du Wei's chest.
His fingertips had already pinched that beating heart!
Thump thump! Thump thump! Thump thump …
