C2629 The Port Fell
"Aren't you afraid that you will be worried!?" Lin Qian'er turned on the television. There was no need to adjust the channel. The television was playing the news of Cosmos.
The cannonballs flew through the air for a distance before landing and exploding with a terrifying fiery light. In the fiery light, there were some building debris, sand, and stones, as well as miserable screams.
Looking further away, on the sparkling sea, hundreds of warships of various shapes and sizes were lying horizontally. Rays of fire shot out from the long cannon barrels. The cannonballs rubbed against the air, bringing with them wisps of red light. Every time the cannon vibrated, a cannonball would shoot out. Because of the angle of the camera, looking at it from the screen, it was densely packed with cannonballs. After a certain distance, the cannonballs fell, and then flames soared into the sky. The deafening explosion covered almost inaudible screams and other sounds.
The warship was a little far from the port. Looking at it from the shore, the flag on the warship was somewhat blurry, but the color and shape could be roughly distinguished. One look and one could tell that it was not the flag of the Empire.
The port side was also fighting back, but most of the cannonballs had been shot empty. When they landed on the sea, they exploded with a splash. Only 20% of the cannonballs could hit the target, but they did not cause any damage that was believed to be true.
The warship's defense was very strong. One or two cannonballs could not make the warship sink. Sometimes, it would blow up some facilities, and sometimes, only a few people would be killed.
Not long after, the camera zoomed in and shifted to the port side. The fire was everywhere, and smoke was billowing. This was one of the ports of one of the four major shipyards. Dongfang Qingyu did not know how many cannons there were, but now, they could fire artillery shells. Only 21 cannons were left. It was obvious that the 21 cannons were at a disadvantage against the enemy.
The worst part was that out of the 21 cannons, there were only 13 of them. The remaining ones were Dizun Cannon, Heavenly Royal Cannons, and so on. After alchemist and the craftsman continuously improved and upgraded the Dizun Cannon and Heavenly Cannon, their power was greater than before. It was several times stronger, but there was still a flaw - the range.
The reason why the accuracy was so poor was that the range of the Heavenly Venerate Cannon and the Dizun Cannon was insufficient. The enemy was very smart. The position they stopped at was just outside the effective shooting range of the Heavenly Venerate Cannon and the Dizun Cannon. If the Heavenly Venerate Cannon and the Dizun Cannon wanted to hit the target, they could only rely on luck.
Rumble -
The Eight Desolate Cannon exploded, triggering a chain of explosions. Everything within a hundred meter radius was destroyed by the explosions. Regardless of whether it was players or items, none of them were left behind. The flames only stopped after more than a minute.
"Why are you so aggrieved?" Lin Huo was making medicine for Jian Jia. She looked at the TV and forgot about it. Her face was full of anger. This scene reminded her of the end of the Qing Dynasty and the allied army of the eight countries.
"There's a problem with the port's design." Dongfang Qingyu said.
"What's the problem?" Lin Qian'er asked.
"The port only has defense and no offensive power." Dongfang Qingyu said.
Lin Qian'er observed carefully for a while and found that it was true. The ports were divided into inner and outer ports. There were very few ships outside the ports. They had all sunk, leaving only the warships inside the ports. The problem was that the passageways inside and outside the ports were too narrow, and only one warship was allowed to pass through. Usually, there would be no problem, but now, the ships in the port did not dare to come out. Once they appeared, they would face a storm of attacks.
Without ships, the cannon fire in the port alone was not enough to destroy the enemy. As long as the enemy retreated a little, they would not be able to do anything about the port.
"Why did it have to be designed like this?" Lin Huo was very confused. Did he not think that there would be enemies when the port was designed?
"Who knows?" Dongfang Qingyu was not a designer, so he did not know much about the port. He did not know what the designer was thinking.
"Someone is going out to sea!" Lin Qian'er exclaimed as she saw the players split up into the sea and the sky and approach the enemy warships.
"You're courting death!" Dongfang Qingyu stared at them for a few seconds before he slowly spat out two words.
As expected, not long after he finished speaking, the enemy warship also noticed the players. A portion of the cannons changed direction and aimed at the sky and the sea respectively.
Bang!
After the cannonballs exploded in the sky, hailstones rained down. The players who were hit by the hailstones were instantly frozen into ice sculptures. They fell into the sea and never floated again. The cannonballs that were shot into the sea were set ablaze, and flames covered a large area of the sea. The players on the sea were burnt to the point of screaming in pain. The flames were very tenacious. Even if they dived into the sea, they would not be extinguished. The video order clearly saw that the players who entered the sea were still wrapped in red light. They struggled and twisted, as if they could still hear a scream. The last drop of HP was used up. The players stopped struggling, and their corpses slowly sank to the bottom of the sea.
"What a vicious westerner!" Lin Huo Huo was shocked and angry.
"Someone is approaching from the bottom of the sea!" Lin Qian'er's eyes were sharp, and a few blurry figures flashed past the bottom of the sea. If it wasn't for the players who were on fire diving down, the flames would have lit up the bottom of the sea, and she wouldn't have been able to see them.
"It's useless!" Dongfang Qingyu took a few glances and shook his head lightly.
"Why?" Lin Qian'er was not a combat player, so she could not understand.
"Even the Eight Desolate Cannon can't penetrate the enemy warship's defense. It's too difficult to rely on the players. Once they penetrate the enemy warship's defense, the battle will be over. Furthermore, it's impossible for the enemy warship to not be deployed underwater." Dongfang Qingyu said.
"That's bad!" Lin Qian'er looked worried. Although the four shipyards and Green Wood Manufacturing were rivals, it was an internal conflict. When faced with a race war, she knew how serious it was.
As she spoke, two more cannons were destroyed. The fire covered an area of 50 to 60 meters. The players operating the cannons and the players nearby were all killed.
As a result, the power of the counterattack was even weaker.
"Where are the others? Why didn't anyone come to rescue them?" Lin Huo Huo asked.
"The water is cold!" Dongfang Qingyu reminded her, then said, "The enemy has set up an interception in the surroundings. Look at the fire in the distance. The enemy has made up his mind to eat this port."
"Isn't there another expert? Forbidden Spell, Great Forbidden Spell, I don't believe that we can't destroy a battleship. " Lin Huo said.
"It's hard to say." Dongfang Qingyu had no experience dealing with warships, so he said with uncertainty, "We don't know anything about the value of the enemy's warships. If it reaches the level of the 'Great Forbidden Spell' defense, an expert. Also, crossing the sea. It's not easy for us to get close to each other by hand."
Lin Qian'er thought of the two cannonballs from before and her expression turned ugly. Now, she could only hope that the experts approaching from the bottom of the sea could create miracles. The defensive strength of the port was too weak. She did not know if it was arrogance. Or for some reason, the defeat of the Green Sand City Squadron... It didn't serve as a warning to them.
Not only did the players try to approach the local warships, but the distance of more than a kilometer was only a matter of a dozen seconds for the experts if they did not cross the sea. However, because of the sea, everything became difficult.
Players summoned flying mounts, some of them having wings. Some used skills and learned from their previous lessons. They were very scattered. In the face of being caught by the enemy in one fell swoop, they had underestimated the power of the enemy's artillery fire. With dozens of shots fired at the same time, the power was not something that players could withstand. They wanted to dodge, but how could they have the time? The range of the cannonballs was too large.
After all, the players' sacrifice had a certain effect. They diverted the enemy warship's attention. The port had changed their strategy. They hit a warship with their firepower. More than ten cannonballs were fired in succession, and their character exploded. 11 rounds hit the target. Fire soared into the sky. In the explosion, the enemy's warship slowly sank. From time to time, players could be seen jumping off the warship and letting out miserable screams.
It was unknown what they were screaming for, but they just jumped into the water.
However, the glory of the port had come to an end here. As the enemy warship approached, with the increase in accuracy, explosions kept happening at the port. Cannon after cannon exploded one after another. The distance between the two sides increased, and the accuracy of the shots at the port also increased. However, their cannons were too few, and they only hit the enemy's warship. They were injured, but they did not sink.
The port wanted to expand the battle results, but the enemy's artillery fire was too fierce. Soon, the number of cannons in the port would turn into numbers. Through the landing point of the cannonballs, one could clearly feel the chaos in the port.
They were already at a disadvantage, so this chaos was closer to disaster.
"My psychological quality is too poor." Lin Huo wanted to curse.
"The reinforcements are here!" Lin Qian'er pointed to the northeast direction. There was a warship, Wind-borne Breaking Wolf. He quickly approached. Behind the warship, there were two warships. Further away was the enemy's warship. In pursuit, there were four warships chasing.
"Too late!" Dongfang Qingyu looked at them for a while and shook his head. The three battleships could only be used to harass them. It was impossible for them to charge forward. Otherwise, they would all sink in one round.
The enemy had more than three hundred battleships of different sizes. Sure enough, when the three battleships were close to the range warning line, they flew in an arc. Seeing that the battleships behind could not catch up, they stopped chasing.
Lin Qian'er's eyes revealed disappointment, while the players in the port revealed despair in their eyes. From hope to despair, this kind of difference was something that ordinary people could not bear.
Rumble -
The final Eight Barren Cannon exploded, and flames soared into the sky, illuminating the entire port in a bright red. Within the flames, one could clearly see the fear on the players' faces flash by. At this moment, the sound of the cannons on the sea suddenly became more concentrated. It was twice as intense as before.
The cannons on the enemy warship were also divided into levels. The higher the level, the more powerful the cannons were. The higher the shooting range, the lower the level, and so on. This way, it could attack different targets from different distances. Previously, when they were one kilometer away, the low-level cannon was resting, and now it had entered the shooting range. The low-level cannon started moving.
With just one round of shooting, the port was filled with blooming flowers and continuous explosions. From the screen, fire and smoke seemed to fill every inch of space.
The port was finished!
In the rear, a large number of players rushed over to provide support. However, by comparing the speed of the players and the enemy warships, those who were watching the battle realized that it was too late.
Snap!
Lin Qian'er could not bear to look at it directly and turned off the television. Sure enough, in less than 15 minutes, a message appeared on her phone. The port had fallen and the enemy had not taken over the port. Instead, they had taken over the port. They charged in and destroyed all the warships in the port. Before the reinforcements of the dynasty arrived, they swaggered off.
The tens of thousands of players watched helplessly as the enemy left. Without warships, there was nothing they could do.
