The seemingly illusory but incomparably scorching sun was hanging high in the sky, wantonly sprinkling its own heat on the salt-white sand, burning all the creatures that existed here.
This was the sixth day since the Pacific Ocean's water level plummeted due to the super disaster caused by the fusion of the worlds.
At the moment when the water level plummeted, the Sons of Dan Slaves, who relied on their excellent diving performance to bring all the refugees they could find away from the disaster area and prepare to go to the next safe zone of Mithril, were unable to escape from this instantaneous disaster.
In the blink of an eye, the chaotic waves formed by the plummeting water level almost caught the Sons of Dan Slaves off guard and directly hit the seabed, resulting in the terrible fate of the ship being destroyed and the people on board dying.
Fortunately, with the efforts of Richard Mardukas and a group of technicians, the Sons of Dan Slaves were lucky enough to escape from this perilous situation.
However, although they avoided certain death, they couldn't avoid the damage that the Sons of Dan Slaves suffered in this sudden disaster.
More than half of the power unit was paralyzed, and the power supply capacity was reduced.
As a result, the combat performance of the Sons of Dan Slaves was reduced, and at the same time, it was unable to protect the living environment of the people on board.
This was nothing to Richard Mardukas and all the members of the Sons of Dan Slaves.
But the most terrible thing was that there were still many refugees on board the Sons of Dan Slaves.
Although these refugees could be temporarily appeased, once the situation of the Sons of Dan Slaves was discovered by these refugees, it would be difficult for any conflict to break out.
At that time …
It's really full of danger.
Richard took off his glasses, rubbed the bridge of his nose, and squinted slightly as he looked at the pale white in the distance.
Perhaps, many years ago, as a rookie in the Navy, he had all kinds of yearnings and guesses about this pale white continent hidden deep under the blue ocean.
But he never thought that he would see this pale white continent with his own eyes in such an unexpected way.
After Richard Mardukas put on his glasses again, he shifted his gaze away from the pale white and azure horizon, and slowly shifted his gaze to the pale white hill that was only about a hundred meters away from the Son of Dan Slave.
There, there was a small amount of seawater that was intercepted by the former rift valley on the seabed.
In the middle of this pale white, azure, and strange black valley, there were a few fish that had been dead for many days lying there quietly.
Richard remembered that on the first day the Son of the Dan Slave was stranded, Richard, who had yet to grasp the surrounding situation, discovered that there were many sea creatures around the Son of the Dan Slave that had died in the disaster. He decisively ordered a portion of the refugees to collect the edible sea creatures as reserves.
Now, it seemed that this decision was correct.
Despite the complaints of the refugees, the Sons of Dan Slaves didn't use much of their food reserves because they had the timely collection and preservation of marine life as food.
However, this was only a temporary measure.
"Captain! The search team has already returned. "
At this time, the call of the bridge came from the headset.
At the same time, Richard also saw three distinct steel silhouettes rising and falling on the white land.
It was Melissa Mao, Cruz Wilba, and Sosuke Sagamihara's team.
"From the looks of it, this is our fate, right? Captain. "
There were three search teams sent out by the Son of the Dan Slave.
But now, the team that searched the furthest and covered the largest area came back earlier than the other two teams, perhaps this already symbolized some results.
Perhaps Richard's premonition was right.
When Mao, Wilba, and Sosuke Sagamihara's team had just returned to the Son of the Dan Slave, a warning suddenly sounded.
"Captain! The second team seems to have been attacked, but we have lost contact with them!! "
The moment the warning sounded, Richard had already turned around and ran back to the ship, rushing toward the bridge.
His speed was so fast that it startled the surrounding people.
"It really came! This disaster probably didn't happen suddenly! "
Richard didn't know the inside story of the fusion of the worlds, but based on the intuition of a soldier, Richard still noticed something.
And these things became incomparably real with the loss of contact of the other search team.
"Captain! We lost contact with the second team! But before that, they sent back the image of the attacker. "
"Transfer it to the main screen!"
Richard ordered as he pressed down on his military cap that was a little loose from running.
The next second, the bridge was in an uproar.
On the main screen, there was an image of the Alien that looked like a human tumor but was large enough to match the size of an AS. It was waving its tentacles and besieging the main AS used by Mithril — M9.
This video seemed to have some sound, but it seemed to have encountered interference and couldn't be clearly transmitted back to the Son of the Dan Slave.
But this already proved the situation of the second team and the crisis that the Son of the Dan Slave was about to face.
"Monsters? Monsters from that time?! "
Richard secretly gritted his teeth, but his expression was still very calm.
"Pass down the order! Level 1 battle preparation! All combatants immediately enter the battle position. In addition, inform Melissa Mao and the others that they can't take a good rest now. Let them prepare for a defensive battle immediately! "
"Yes!"
Looking at his subordinates who quickly began to fight, Richard couldn't help but have a question in his mind.
"What happened to this world? Monsters? Doomsday? "
Unfortunately, no one could tell Richard Maducas the answer to this question.
A few minutes later, Mao, Cruz, and Sosuke Xiangliang, who hadn't had time to return to Gnacou to take a sip of water, could only stay in the shadow of the Son of the Dan Slave and catch their breath.
"Sister Mao! I heard that the first and second teams are already gone! So, the Son of the Dan Slave is only left with our M9 team? "
Cruz threw the empty water bottle aside and said with a sigh.
"Although those guys are usually a bit annoying, it's really not good that they ended up like this!"
When the order to prepare for battle was issued, they had already received a secret communication from the bridge.
Seeing the familiar M9 being attacked by the disgusting and unfamiliar monsters, let alone Cruz, Mao, and even Sosuke Xiangliang, who was usually missing a line, couldn't help but sweat.
Compared to the arms dealers and armed organizations they faced in the past, this was a completely unfamiliar, ferocious, and extraordinarily terrifying enemy.
Other than the image of the second team's M9 being torn apart by the monsters, they didn't know anything about these monsters that suddenly appeared.
"Do you guys think this is the culprit that caused this disaster?"
Melissa Mao pulled the trigger on her arm guard, took a deep breath, and threw out this question.
"Insufficient information, unable to answer."
This was Sosuke Xiangliang's answer.
"Is that so? Sosuke. Could it be that you haven't been able to take down the cute little guy because of the lack of information? "
Sosuke Xiangliang, who was concentrating on adjusting his M9, was speechless.
"Okay! The joke before the battle ends here. The enemy is here! "
While Melissa Mao's voice became deep, the pale white horizon in the distance also stirred up a cloud of dust.
The monsters were here!
"Da da da da da!"
Machine guns were roaring.
Bullets were whistling.
Bursts of bloody mist exploded.
The monsters that were torn apart fell one by one, but they were immediately trampled into blood by the monsters behind them.
The scene of blood and flesh splattering everywhere made the Mithril soldiers, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, turn pale and almost vomit.
Especially when the hot wind mixed with the stench hit them in the face, the soldiers with slightly weaker nerves almost turned around and vomited.
"Steady! Steady! "
Melissa Mao shouted loudly on the public channel, commanding her comrades on the deck to use firearms and rocket launchers to support the M9 to stop the group of attacking monsters.
In the beginning, this tactic was effective.
The red and black sand dunes under the feet of the monsters were the result of this tactic.
But as time passed, this defensive battle lasted from noon to evening, until the sun slowly set and was about to be shrouded in darkness.
The Sons of Dan Nu's ammunition reserves had been depleted by three-quarters.
During this period, when the battle was at its most intense, a few monsters broke through the defense line of the three M9 and rushed onto the deck of the Sons of Dan Nu. While killing several Mithril soldiers, they also broke through the shield door that was immediately put down.
Fortunately, the other surviving soldiers risked their lives to carry the rocket launchers and rushed to a very close distance to give these monsters a fierce blow. Only then did they stop these monsters from rushing into the ship of the Sons of Dan Nu.
After this chaos ended, although the lost manpower was replenished in time, the number of monsters increased at the same time, and they were even more terrifying.
From the beginning of a one-sided attack to the setting sun, the monsters appeared from all directions and enveloped the pale white land. In an instant, the humans on the Sons of Dan Nu fell into despair.
"Now! Quick! Fire all the missiles of the Sons of Dan Nu! Quick! "
Among the ammunition consumed by the Sons of Dan Nu, there was no quota for the various types of missiles that they were equipped with.
As the trump card of the Sons of Dan Nu, Richard Mardukas had left it until the end.
Even just now, when the defense line formed by the three M9 and many Mithril soldiers almost collapsed, he did not use this trump card.
Now, it was time to use this trump card.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
In an instant, when countless pillars of smoke rose into the sky, it was the moment when the boundless sea of fire scattered over the monsters' heads.
The flames engulfed everything.
The flesh and blood scattered all over the sky became the scene that the Sons of Dan Nu faced at this moment.
From this moment on, the rumbling sounds of the explosion continuously impacted the senses of the surviving Mithril soldiers, as well as the senses of Mao, Cruz, and Sosuke Xiangliang.
"Is it over?"
Cruz tilted his head slightly, avoiding the sniper scope that was illuminated by the flames of the explosion. He could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Since they had been fighting from noon until now, whether it was the body or the body, they had reached their limits.
If the Sons of Dan Nu's ultimate attack could not repel this group of monsters that had suddenly appeared, they were afraid that …
"Attention, everyone! The enemy … is here!! "
Mao's breathing became incomparably heavy. This was the sound of extreme exhaustion.
That's right!
The enemy is attacking again!
Even if the Sons of Dan Nu were to fire with all their might, they still could not stop the group of monsters from advancing.
Countless bodies that emitted the smell of burnt flesh and blood stepped on the blazing flames and broke through the defense line of the missile blockade, once again rushing in front of the M9 team.
"Da da da da!"
The machine gun roared for less than a few seconds before it went mute!
Mao gritted his teeth and did not hesitate to control the body to smash the machine gun in his hand at the monsters. At the same time, he also pulled out the single-molecule blade at his waist and cut the monsters that had rushed in front of him while braving the bullets into two!
"Sosuke! Cruz!! "
"Yes, sir!"
"They're here! Leave Sister Mao's back to me! "
"Bang!"
As the sound of the sniper rifle rang out, the corners of Cruz's mouth curled into a bitter smile.
This was because in front of his eyes, the prompt that there was not much ammunition left was so glaring.
"In the end, I still have to pick up a short sword and fight in close combat?"
On the other side, relying on their advantage in numbers, the monsters that had once again crept onto the deck of the Sons of Dan Nu's flank pounced on the Mithril soldiers like a small mountain.
"Bang bang bang bang bang!"
“BOOM！！”
Gunshots,
Explosions,
The roar of rocket launchers sweeping across the deck,
Became the last line of defense for the Mithril soldiers on the deck.
However, this line of defense was so fragile.
While the three M9s were entangled by more and more monsters and had no time to care about anything else, the Mithril soldiers who relied on their flesh and blood to resist the monsters finally retreated into the ship after paying a painful price of almost being destroyed, they tried to rely on the facilities in the ship to resist.
However..,
The monsters that rushed onto the deck did not encounter the scene of being blocked by the narrow passageway as humans had expected. Instead, they directly used their terrifyingly agile tentacles to violently dismantle the Sons of Dan Nu.
In just a few moves, the gate that was trying to fall was blocked by the monsters. Moreover, amidst a series of screams that made one's teeth ache and panic, they forcefully broke through the line of defense, stepping on the bodies of the fallen Mithril soldiers as they rushed into the Sons of Dan Nu.
"Reporting! Area A1 and B2 have fallen. Our personnel have retreated to Area D1 and F3. The enemy's attack strength has exceeded our expectations. We are unable to establish an effective defense!! "
Reports of the enemy's attacks kept coming in, but Richard Maducas could not think of any effective way.
"If you were still here, maybe there would be other ways?"
The moment this idea emerged, it was rejected by Richard Maducas.
"No. Fortunately, you are not here, Captain. "
Was he giving up?
No!
Richard Maducas did not accept the idea of giving up.
While raising his hand and turning his beloved military cap to the back of his head, Richard Maducas turned around and took out a pistol from beside the captain's seat.
"Everyone, continue to stay here and command! Now, I am gathering people to resist the enemy's attack! "
"Captain!! Don't be impulsive! We still need your command here! "
Everyone was shocked and hurriedly dissuaded him.
"Hey! Don't worry! I rather cherish my old life! "
Richard Maducas smiled.
At least, before the Sons of Dan Nu completely fell, he would not surrender just like that!
At this moment, a message compiled with a special password that had not appeared in the Sons of Dan Nu's communication directory for a long time suddenly appeared on the main screen.
"Sons of Dan Nu! Sons of Dan Nu! Attention please! Please immediately transfer the combat units in Area A1. Avalon is about to carry out a regional strike mission! Repeat! Please immediately transfer the combat units in Area A1. Avalon is about to carry out a regional strike mission! "
The appearance of this voice made Richard Maducas stop in his tracks, and everyone in the bridge was stunned.
The voice that Richard Maducas and everyone in the bridge had never forgotten actually appeared at this moment.
Moreover, it was accompanied by several dazzling rays of light that descended from the sky.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Three dazzling rays of light, like the eruption of a star, covered all the light in the world, with the Sons of Dan Nu as the center. One was up and two were down on this pale white land, like an impossibly accurate triangle. In an instant, the monsters that were besieging the Sons of Dan Nu were crushed to pieces.
Even if some of them were lucky enough to avoid the area of the explosion of light, it was difficult for them to escape from the surge of high-pressure air currents set off by the explosion of light. They screamed and struggled to be swallowed by the light.
Time might have passed for a long time, or it might have just been a moment.
When the pale white land regained its silence again, a floating battleship that had once been a comrade and had fought together with him slowly descended from the sky and hovered over the Sons of Dan Nu.
That was the floating battleship commanded by Teresa Testarossa — Avalon!
