It was already ten at night. There was no moon in the sky, and the sky was dark.
The thousand ships of the Messier Alliance were brightly lit!
They had arrived at the entrance of Devil Gulf.
Devil Gulf was like a sack. The entrance was small, but the inside was huge. The entire entrance was less than four miles wide.
Originally, the Messier Alliance had chosen to land at Devil Gulf during the day. Now, it was night time, and one could not even see their fingers in front of them.
The commander of the alliance was Tu Liwen, and the vice commander was Hai Wuyan. These two had sent out the most navy.
The leaders of the four allied forces were all on Count Tu Liwen's flagship for a final discussion.
They were Tu Liwen, Hai Wuyan, Ashinzhuo, Henar, Gui Xingfu, and Tu Ningchen.
"Where is Søren's fleet?" Tu Liwen asked.
"They've entered Devil Harbor, and are planning to land and escape," the commander replied.
Zhi Li had said that the main goal of this battle, or even the only goal, was to destroy Søren's fleet and kill Søren.
Tu Ningchen said, "Søren is cunning. Could he have set up traps and ambushes in Devil Gulf?"
Ashinzhuo sneered, "Traps, ambushes? How many ships and soldiers does he have? "
Gui Xingfu said, "Devil Gulf is like a sack. The entrance is small, but the inside is huge. Once you enter, it will be difficult to come out. In this environment, the most worrying thing is a fire attack. "
Tu Ningchen said, "Søren has been attacking with fire for the past few days. However, the results are minimal. According to Heavenly Wild City and Pirate Harbor, a mysterious buyer has bought all the fish oil and whale oil on the market, about eight hundred thousand kilograms. "
Heavenly Wild City and Pirate Harbor were currently the two largest trading markets.
Countess Tully said, "In the past few days and nights of naval battle, Sauron has thrown tens of thousands of kerosene bombs. This batch of fish oil must have been used up."
Tu Ningchen asked, "If Amano City spares no effort to buy fish to make fish oil, how much can we get?"
Earl Tully said, "Fish oil looks expensive, dozens of copper coins per catty. However, the output was extremely low, and it was extremely troublesome to brew. Moreover, Tianshui City lacks fishing boats and lacks a tradition of fishing. If you want to boil your own fish oil, the output will definitely not be much. "
In this world, if one wanted to attack with fire, they would only use fish oil and tung oil. Moreover, tung oil was rarely used due to its various shortcomings.
"In other words, Søren definitely does not have enough fish oil on hand to launch a fire attack?" asked Hai Wuyan.
Tu Liwen nodded and said, "Even if he didn't use up his fish oil, a few hundred thousand kilograms of fish oil wouldn't be enough to destroy our fleet."
Indeed, a few hundred thousand kilograms of fish oil was insignificant in a bay that spanned hundreds of square kilometers.
Tu Ningchen said, "But if the allied forces are going to land, it's better to do it in the daytime. Under the night sky, this Devil Gulf is indeed filled with danger. "
Tully said, "Right now, Søren's fleet has already entered Devil Gulf and is about to land and escape. What will happen if he escapes onto land? "
Gui Xingfu said, "He led seven thousand Rock Bandits into Tianshui City, Celestial Wolf Pass, Savage Canyon, and all the other territories' garrison troops have gathered in Tianshui City. A total of forty thousand soldiers are facing off against one hundred and thirty thousand of us. With three times the number of soldiers surrounding the city, the odds of victory are very high, but it will still take more than half a month. At that time, His Majesty's reinforcements will enter Tianshui City in the name of suppressing bandits. "
Hai Wuyan said, "Does His Majesty still have troops?"
"Of course," Tu Ningchen said, "Even though it's not a lot, it's not a problem to gather an army of several tens of thousands."
Gui Xingfu said, "Of course, all the military nobles have pledged their allegiance to His Highness Zhi Li, so we can send more troops. But this means that His Highness Zhi Li and the king will fight directly, which means that a civil war will break out in the Raging Wave Kingdom. Didn't we disguise ourselves as pirates to enter Tianshui City just to avoid this? "
Ashinzhuo sneered, "You Central Plains nobles are really as cowardly as mice. You have a thousand ships and more than a hundred thousand soldiers, yet you're afraid of an ambush by a mere seven thousand people. You're still wasting time here discussing. Just charge in and wipe out Søren's troops. Ambush? A few thousand people ambushing a hundred thousand, what a joke. "
Count Tully said, "Let's vote by a show of hands. Those who agree to enter Devil's Harbor to kill Søren, please raise your hands."
The first to raise his hand was Ashinzhuo, followed by Henar, and then himself.
The fourth to raise his hand was surprisingly Tu Ningchen. He kept saying that he was worried that Søren would set up an ambush or trap, but he took the initiative to raise his hand.
He desperately wanted to kill Søren and did not want to let him return to Tianshui City.
On the other hand, he was worried that Søren was cunning and would set up traps and ambushes. He was clearly in a dilemma.
"Order the entire army to enter Devil's Harbor and annihilate Søren's fleet!" Commander Tully ordered.
Immediately, thousands of ships squeezed into Devil's Harbor.
The cautious Count Tully still sent out a few small scout ships to investigate the harbor.
However, out of the dozens of small scout ships, only two returned.
"Reporting to the City Lord, Søren's fleet is desperately trying to land. There are countless abandoned ships everywhere in the harbor," the scout reported.
"Hahahaha …" Tu Ningchen laughed, "Søren had painstakingly invented a new type of catapult that can be thrown four to five hundred meters away. He thought it would be a weapon of mass destruction and help his fleet win by surprise. However, he did not expect the catapult's hit rate to be so pathetic. After fighting for days and nights and spending countless gold coins, all they got was a laughable result. Now, they have no choice but to abandon their ships and flee. "
Tully said, "Even the rock pirates' warships have been abandoned?"
The scout said, "Yes, not only are they floating on the sea, they are everywhere. Moreover, some of the warships have already been sunk. "
Tu Ningchen's eyes lit up. "Charge in immediately, don't let them sink all the warships. These rock pirates' warships are sturdy, agile, and extremely fast. We must take them. "
Earl Tully said, "The Queen's Island Fleet is the only naval force in Sauron's hands. Now that even these warships have been abandoned, it seems that they are really desperate."
"What are you waiting for? Charge at full speed, take the warships, and kill them all …" Ashinzhuo roared.
Gui Xingfu's eyes also lit up. His Waterfront fleet had not recovered after being heavily damaged last time. If he could get the rock pirates' warships, even if there were only twenty of them, he would be able to regain his glory.
In this naval battle, everyone saw that the rock pirates' warships were indeed impressive, far better than the human kingdoms'.
They were amazed by Søren's new catapults, but they did not covet them.
As for the rock pirates' warships, Gui Xingfu, Tully, and even Hai Wuyan coveted them.
Ying Zhou's Hai family was born on Rock Island, so they were no strangers to the rock pirates' warships. However, the earliest batch of rock pirates' warships had been in use for a hundred years and had long been damaged. The newly built warships, in order to carry more soldiers and more resources, were developed in the direction of larger warships.
Because their mission had changed, the Ying Zhou's Hai family no longer relied on plundering. Hence, they looked down on the rock pirates' warships.
However, in this large-scale naval battle, they saw how outstanding the rock pirates' warships were.
Tully shouted, "Advance at full speed, annihilate Søren, and capture the warships!"
Immediately, thousands of warships with full sails rowed furiously, using their fastest speed to charge into Devil's Gulf. They wanted to annihilate Søren's army that was about to disembark!
…
After more than an hour, the thousands of warships of the Exo Alliance finally entered Devil's Gulf.
Devil's Gulf was like a cloth bag. After entering, the crowded fleet could finally disperse slightly. However, thousands of warships scattered on less than two hundred square kilometers of sea still seemed crowded. The distance between each ship was only a few hundred meters.
Moreover, the ships that Søren had abandoned were drifting aimlessly on the sea.
The rock pirates' landing was nearing its end. Seven thousand rock pirates had built a temporary defense line on the beach.
Nearly a hundred rock island ships had been washed into the shallow waters by the waves and were stranded.
Søren and Yan Chao 'er stood at the top of a tall mountain, overlooking the entire Devil's Gulf.
"Aunt, I'm sorry." Søren said, "These hundred rock pirates' warships will also be destroyed. Even the flagship you specially built for little Xue 'er will be destroyed."
This loss was indeed heartbreaking, especially that flagship, which had a displacement of a few thousand tons.
Yan Chao 'er said, "It's a good deal to trade a hundred ships for a thousand. Plus, we still have a few dozen ships left. Together with the captured ones, it will be enough to protect Tianshui City's sea power in the future. "
Yan Chao 'er's magnanimity was astonishing.
The entire Devil's Gulf was originally dark, but the Exo Alliance's fleet was brightly lit, illuminating the entire Devil's Gulf.
Each of these lights represents a spaceship.
There were a thousand ships in total, and each ship had more than a hundred people.
Four factions, a thousand ships, a total of more than a hundred thousand soldiers had entered Devil's Gulf and entered Søren's death trap!
It looked like a picturesque scene of thousands of lights on the surface of the sea.
Now, what Søren wanted to do was to completely tear this sea apart and destroy all life.
"Aunt, it's about time!" Søren said.
Yan Chao 'er ignited a fire arrow and shot it into the sky.
"Bang …" The crystal in the sky suddenly exploded in the sky, turning into a bright spark.
It was a signal arrow!
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang …
At the entrance of Devil's Gulf, there were steep and towering cliffs on both sides.
At this time, countless barrels of crude oil rolled down.
Hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands …
Tens of thousands of oil barrels rolled down from the cliffs hundreds of meters high and instantly broke into pieces.
More than a million kilograms of crude oil instantly spilled at the entrance of Devil's Gulf.
The entire entrance was only more than four thousand meters wide, and suddenly a thick layer of crude oil was sprayed.
Then …
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh …
Countless fire arrows shot down from both sides of the cliffs.
Boom, boom, boom, boom …
The fire arrows landed on the crude oil on the surface of the sea. In an instant … the entire sea was burning.
The entrance of Devil's Gulf completely turned into a huge wall of fire, blocking the way back!
The fire wall of a few thousand meters burned fiercely.
The Exo Alliance's fleet was shocked!
"It's a trap, a trap …" Tu Ningchen exclaimed, "I knew it, I knew that Søren must have a trap waiting for us!"
Every night, the tides on the sea became more and more violent.
The long tide advanced towards the coastline.
However, at this time, the entire tide had turned into a wall of fire that was several thousand meters high, pushed by the surging tide, advancing towards the coastline.
Immediately, the Exo Alliance's fleet saw an incomparably magnificent scene.
The line of fire that was several thousand meters long was like ten thousand galloping horses, flying at high speed.
It was getting closer and closer to the Exo Alliance's fleet.
The expressions of Count Tully and the others also changed drastically, and then they hissed, "Full speed ahead, immediately disembark …"
However …
No matter how fast the ships were, they could not be faster than the surging tide.
Only a wall of fire could be seen quickly catching up to the rear of the Exo Alliance's fleet.
The flames ignited every ship.
The crude oil on the surface of the water stuck to every ship.
However …
This bit of crude oil, this bit of flame, although shocking, was not completely impossible to extinguish.
It was still impossible to burn the fleet in one go.
Even if this bit of flame was not extinguished, it could still burn until the fleet disembarked.
Although Søren's fire attack was shocking, it was not very fatal!
While everyone was rejoicing, only Gui Xingfu's expression changed drastically.
He knew Søren too well. This was just an appetizer.
As expected …
These walls of fire ignited the ships of the Exo Alliance's fleet, but it did not matter.
The most terrifying thing was that they ignited the Sochi cargo ships anchored in Devil's Harbor.
Each cargo ship was piled with hundreds of barrels of crude oil and a few barrels of fish oil.
The fish oil was very violent.
After being ignited by the flames, it instantly burned fiercely, and the huge energy could not be released, so it exploded fiercely.
"Boom boom boom boom …"
Hundreds of cargo ships anchored in Devil's Harbor exploded violently one after another.
Every explosion!
Hundreds of barrels of crude oil were thrown into the air, and the barrels exploded.
Countless barrels of crude oil sprayed out.
Each cargo ship had more than a hundred thousand kilograms of crude oil.
In an instant …
It became a giant gunpowder depot.
"Boom boom boom …"
Every explosion turned into a shocking flame. The terrifying burning crude oil instantly spilled thousands of meters into the air and suddenly fell into the sea.
The entire sea instantly burned.
"Boom boom boom boom …"
Incomparably gorgeous, incomparably terrifying explosion.
Even the biggest movie on Earth was not so gorgeous and amazing.
More than a hundred large cargo ships, more than a hundred thousand barrels, nearly twenty million kilograms of crude oil, were completely burned.
The entire Devil's Harbor, nearly two hundred square kilometers of sea, was completely swallowed by flames, completely turned into hell.
Thousands of warships, more than a hundred thousand troops, all in hell.
"It's over, it's over!"
Hell was burning!
