Admiral in the Azure World

Chapter 38 Cycad Island under artillery fire

12:41 noon.

The battle on Cycad Island has lasted for nearly four hours.The island is covered with craters with rolling heat waves, and all buildings, equipment, and plants near the craters have been destroyed.The mirages moved forward against the continuous cannonballs of the three sea spirits. Even the sea spirits with the most precise design skills could not stop their offensive in a short time.

The mirages were like musketeers marching in formation. When one was sunk by a cannonball, the next took his place.The "cod" at the end of the team also discovered the sea soul team that was blocking them.Together with several "hairtails", it focused its firepower toward the bunker where the sea souls were.

The fierce artillery fire shrouded the entire Cycad Island in a layer of yellow-gray smoke.

"Damn you! This is the first time I've known that a group of 'herrings' gathered together so powerfully!" Hema lay limply on the mound. This was a crater created by the mirage's cannonball. The crater was ten meters deep. It's like a good bunker.

Despite the large number of mirages, their design is impeccably accurate. They almost all shoot based on instinct, without any knowledge of shooting calibration or what fire coverage is.These "herrings", which only existed as cannon fodder, had been shooting indiscriminately since Cycad Island entered their firing range at 12 o'clock.

Cannonballs hit Cycad Island in droves.

If this newly formed crater is taken care of by artillery shells again, it can only mean that Hema and the others are too unlucky today.

Dante spat, and the muddy smell in his mouth made him a little uncomfortable: "They were born as cannon fodder. The mirage matrix will certainly not give them fear, and they have no idea what death means. Unless you Let the 'cod' in the back feel that his life is threatened."

"It's not realistic." He Ma shook his head, "It stands too far away. Although Hai Qiao Xing's range is sufficient, at this distance, if you want to cross-shoot and hit, there is no difference between winning the lottery."

"Have the Governor and the others received the news?" Proust asked from the side.

"Already replied." Dante said, "On the way."

"I hope they can make it in time." Hema wiped his face, his gray hair and dirty face made him look very embarrassed, "Otherwise we won't be able to withstand the withdrawal, and we will probably have to replace another group of miners when we come back."

"Let's change it every time." Proust said nonchalantly, "Anyway, what the federation is most in need of right now is workers."

Hema shrugged and said that it's fine as long as you are happy.

Dante frowned.

But before he could reprimand the bastard, the sea fog emblem on the back of his hand became hot.

"What's wrong?" Hema asked worriedly when he saw Dante opening the sea mist.

Governor, are they delayed on the road due to some strange thing?

He still vaguely remembered that a year or two ago, in the same season, Cycad Island was attacked by hundreds of mirages. The governor brought the sea spirit master to support him, but he was delayed on the way because the canned food on the ship was not delicious. It took a few days, resulting in a few days of lateness.

Hema thought about this ridiculous thing, lowered his head and lit a cigarette for himself.

A white smoke ring spewed out from his mouth, and he turned his head to look at the three sea spirits who were fighting back not far away.

The "Herring" bombardment is actually not very powerful, and it is even difficult to break through the defenses of the sea souls, but it hurts. It is not just the low-level "Herring" and "Flounder" that attack Cycad Island, the shells are also mixed with Although the bombardment with the "hairtail" is not fatal, a direct hit will still put the average-level sea soul into a brief shock.

"Damn it." Hema took a deep puff, and the sparks suddenly covered more than half of the cigarette. "If it weren't for protecting the equipment on the island, I would have let Hai Qiaoxing go to sea!"

Compared to land, Sea Soul is still better at fighting on the sea.

Take the Sea Speed ​​Star, which is known for its speed, as an example. There are two completely different speeds on the ground and on the sea.

It can be said that being pinned on the island is very disadvantageous for the sea souls. They cannot run and avoid attacks as they like on the sea.

"Dante? Dante? Why don't you speak?" After Hema complained, he turned around and found Dante staring at the blue light curtain of the sea fog in a daze. "Huh?" Dante came back to his senses, "Oh."

"I just received a message from Jialan Island."

"That Mark Irma?"

"Well...he said his support has arrived..."

"It's funny! Why don't you stop him! Let his sea soul come over to die? There are not only miscellaneous fish, but also 'octopus', and even 'cod'! His sea soul's little water gun Can you handle it?"

When Standal came back from Lanhuadan Island, he spent some time on Cycad Island with several sea spirit masters of the Governor. It is said that this Cycad Island was forcibly assigned to Mark under the conspiracy of Governor Lu Weihua. , the Governor was worried that this young man who had just graduated was ignorant and planned to teach him a lesson.

However, from He Ma's point of view, the governor has no need to be angry with the newcomers. Even if the cycad island is in the hands of Mark, the final ownership must still belong to the governor. This kind of behavior is completely inconsistent with the status of the governor.

The governor may have done this as a warning to Gibran.

But Mark Erma was also very smart. After staying one night at Jimu Island, he went directly to Gloria Island. There was no sign of Cycad Island from the beginning to the end.

This made Standal, who was bent on revenge, very unhappy.

During the few days on the island, he used very harsh words to mock Mark-Irma's sea soul, saying that she was not as good as an ordinary sea soul except for her head.

"No, no, no, the one who came over was not the one Standal met, but the other two."

"Also? Two more?" A trace of doubt and disbelief flashed in Hema's eyes, "Damn it, is this bragging?"

"That's what he said," said Dante.

A mirage shell landed not far from the crater, and the dust splashed over the faces of the three people in the crater.

"I hope it's true." Hema spat out the dirt in his mouth, "Gloria Island is close to here after all. If it's true, I believe support will arrive soon."

"Hmph. Do you really believe that a commoner can summon two sea spirits in such a short time?" Proust said disdainfully, "Even Sartre-Andre, who is strongly supported by the Merchant Alliance, only recently The second sea soul was summoned. I heard that the deacon of Gloria Island is also from the Merchant Alliance, right? Could it be that the Merchant Alliance’s investment in him is greater than the second seat of this term?”

As Proust spoke, the bombardment of mirages slowly weakened.

What's wrong?Did the mirage retreat?
Doubts flashed through Dante's mind, and he raised his head to look at the sea in the distance.

"Cod" standing at the very end of the mirage looked warily to the southeast.

He followed Cod's line of sight.

I saw a dark shadow on the southeast sea.

The buzzing sound came continuously from over there.

that……

What is it?
