Admiral in the Azure World

Chapter 48 Panic elsewhere

The entire Cycad Island was in panic.

With the appearance of purple light, panic spread among the crowd, and the workers were panicked.This panic completely spiraled out of control after Governor Milton issued a mirage red alert.

Even if Dante made the sea full of stars fire cannons, it would be of no avail.

Panicked crowds rushed to the boats that came to evacuate people.However, in the eyes of factory owners, these wailing workers are obviously not as important as the machinery of the ironworks.

There were many ships coming to the rescue, but not many ships came to rescue the workers.The factory owners commanded their guards and drove the workers to dismantle the factory machines in a panic and transport them to the ship in the form of parts.It was not that there was no resistance from the workers, but the muskets suppressed this resistance within controllable limits.

Seeing this scene, Dante frowned, but the surrounding deacons and sea soul masters turned a deaf ear, as if they had not seen what happened on the island at all.He took a deep breath, knowing now wasn't the time to focus on that.Purple mist has begun to appear in their sight, which means that the mirage has been born and is approaching.

There were gunshots in the distance, mixed with the heart-piercing wailing of the man.

"Do you need to ask them to pay more attention?" Dante leaned into Standal's ear and suggested softly.

"As long as you pay your taxes on time, we don't have any fucking business with them." Standal said nonchalantly while smoking Hema's cigarette.

"But this will affect the sea souls' view of us after all."

At Dante's reminder, Standal noticed that the sea soul girls present had expressions of disgust, and some of the girls had already deployed their weapons. If it weren't for the deacon's permission, they would most likely have drawn their swords to help.

"You go with a group of sea souls and let these beasts who only know how to make money calm down." Standal asked, "Don't let the wailing sound reach the ears of the sea souls."

With the permission of the commander, Dante went to the team to find some sea souls.Because he was worried that the sea soul would be unable to resist, Dante chose sea souls who were more obedient.

The workers' wails soon became quieter.Under Dante's organization, the retreating team began to become orderly.Workers, under the direction of factory owners, moved machinery from ironworks and mines onto ships.Some ships blew their whistles and set sail after loading the machinery, completely ignoring the workers who were stranded on the spot.

However, Dante had no time to pay attention to things here at this time.

He heard gunfire on the east side.

As he left, the dock fell into chaos again, because the sound of cannons made people even more frightened.The workers rushed towards the empty ship in a threatening manner. The factory owner's guards had no time to load and fire before they were crowded to pieces by the workers.

On the other side, Standal looked at the front troops that were withdrawing towards them.

He saw countless artillery fire piercing the sky, illuminating the dark sky, and falling into the sea like a meteor shower.

Pillars of water rose up on the sea surface.

"Fuck!" Standal shook his fingers in fright, and the half-smoked cigarette fell on the muddy ground.

The rain in the sky stopped without knowing when.

There was a fishy smell in the evening breeze.

He rubbed his eyes and raised the binoculars again.

Mirage.

All are mirages.He saw countless herrings and countless flounders.

escape?
he thought subconsciously.However, as the inspector of the Tulip Territory, the Governor is directly subordinate to the top leader of the Sea Soul Division. He must implement Governor Milton's highest will and stick to this Cycad Island.

The previous retreats have severely damaged the reputation of the Kenner family, damaged Milton's image, and greatly reduced businessmen's enthusiasm for investing in Tulip Territory. Even the number of forces stationed on Cycad Island has decreased in recent years. many.

This was something Milton couldn't stand.

He needs to take advantage of this mirage tide to restore Tulip's reputation.

Standal swallowed.The mirages that filled the sky and sea formed a powerful and frightening aura, and behind the mirage army, purple light occasionally flashed past.

Standal knew very well that this was a characteristic of high-level mirage. "Cod" and "squid" both had this purple fluorescent pattern on their bodies.

And as there are more and more flashes of purple light, the pressure on Standal becomes greater, which means that Cycad Island will not only face miscellaneous fish this time, but also the westerly drifting front that has been facing for decades. An advanced mirage that has never appeared in the public eye (the last "cod" incident was suppressed by Milton).

But he couldn't retreat. This was not just an act of committing suicide by going to court-martial. Governor Milton was on his way. If he retreated, he would most likely be killed by Milton Kenner on the way. When I bumped into it, it suddenly collapsed.

There was a sharp whistling sound from the sky.

The mirage's cannonball landed steadily on Cycad Island, the sound of explosion was heard, and the air flow blew everyone's clothes.The sea souls all deployed their weapons and began to fight back against the mirage.

The artillery fire from hundreds of sea souls instantly lit up one side of Cycad Island.The cannonballs landed in the mirage group, blowing the mirages into powder. However, the "herrings" still pushed towards Cycad Island without fear of life and death. The flesh and blood of the dead mirages turned into purple mist, adding a touch of color to the battlefield. Weird colors.

"Damn it, are they all going to Cycad Island!" Standal was so frightened that he became angry, "Why don't you go to Wengzhu Island!"

What Standal didn't know was that the situation on Wengzhu Island was much more severe than that of Cycad Island.Probably because the "manta ray" is here, most of the mid-level and high-level mirages have flocked here. There are four "squids" alone, accounting for two-thirds of all "squids".

Due to the continuous tug-of-war, no complete buildings can be seen on Wengzhu Island. The artillery fire ignited the oil on the ground, allowing the flames to tightly wrap Wengzhu Island.

Countless artillery shells passed through the air and flew towards the positions on both sides. The ground was full of ordinary people who died in the artillery fire before they could evacuate. The deacons and supply personnel stationed on the island had no intention of collecting their bodies. They did not know the mirage. When will the artillery fire fall on their heads?

The deacons on Wengzhu Island have begun to retreat piecemeal. There is no need for them to come to the front line. Most of them thought that this battle would not last long, and they followed here in order to show their bravery in front of Haihun. .

Who would have thought that this stalemate would last for almost two months, and now even the mirage tide has appeared.This greatly weakened the determination of the deacons. Some of the unsteady deacons had been frightened by the artillery fire and fled Wengzhu Island overnight, leaving only their sea souls to avoid going to military court for desertion.

No deacons have evacuated from Cycad Island, but they have been stationed to the west away from the mirage range.

Stendhal was still aggrieved, thinking that Mirage was targeting Cycad Island and the Tulip Territory.

He looked towards the sea area where the mirage was, raised his middle finger, and cursed:
"Mirage! NMSL!"

　Ask for collection!Ask for a recommendation!
