Chapter 284: Golden Lion City

The medium-sized bastion can't accommodate too many people. The permanent garrison is about 1,200. Other defense forces are stationed in barracks on the shore and outposts in more than 20 cities along the river valley.
Before the tsunami, there were about 1,000 soldiers belonging to the infantry regiment in Nisk’s barracks. Although the barracks are relatively high, it is difficult to say how many troops can be gathered after the tsunami.
Moreover, when dealing with sea monsters, ordinary soldiers are of no use even if they come.
Therefore, with the bastion saturated, Major General Coverdale’s order to the infantry barracks was to go to Nisk to rescue the people.
After the alarm bell sounded.
All the soldiers stationed in the bastion were fully armed and entered into a wartime state, and the gunners ran into the fort on the second floor of the bastion.
Originally, there were also ground forts and a small outpost on the southern promontory, but because there was no defensive force of the bastion, it was completely destroyed by the tsunami without firing a shot.
The "bastion" on the northern promontory has essentially become the last force to guard the entrance to the sea!
The four-corner bastion is equipped with a total of 32 heavy artillery, two 32-pounders and six 24-pounders on each corner. Because of the solid foundation, the caliber of the artillery that can be placed on the fixed fort can be larger.
Although this is only a medium-sized bastion as a defense force at the entrance to the sea, it has not been attacked by enemies from the sea since it was built.
But there are still eight 32-pounder guns that can only be equipped on battleships above Tier 3.
Especially when facing multiple sea monsters, the ten 8-pounder cannons they had stored in the armory were also transported, which increased the firepower of the bastion again.
Thanks to the unique design of the bastion, no matter which direction the enemy comes from, they will face 2-3 bastion faces at the same time, suffering from the searing baptism of the firepower net.
At the same time, the musketeers were also lined up on the "Zhongdi" between the two lobed fortresses. If the sea monsters break through the fire net of the outer artillery, they need to fire them at close range.
Even if the lead shot of the musket is incomparable with the artillery shell, the power of the set fire cannot be underestimated.
Whoosh
Before the tide receded, and the soldiers had just taken their positions, the sea monsters were already driven by the instinct to hate humans and attacked the bastion.
Fortunately.
The newly born sea monsters had no way to attack, let alone any cooperation. Some were in front, some were behind, some were reckless and just charged, and some were still waiting for opportunities.
This also gave the "Bastion" a chance to break it all!
The speed of a strange fish is obviously the fastest and the brain is the simplest. The long body of blue-black steel contains explosive power, and it can easily take advantage of the force in the sea and accelerate continuously.
With the hunting instinct rooted in the depths of the bloodline, it was suddenly on the left and then on the right, tumbling from the water like a maniac.
"Load, load!"
The artillery on the side of the bastion facing this strange fish couldn't help but have their throats dry. Where did they who have been stationed on the coast for a long time have seen such a terrifying sea monster that only works in the deep sea?
The body is more than 80 meters long, the long mouth is full of sharp teeth, the whole head is covered by a pale bony carapace, and the eyes are sunken but fierce, and it looks like a scaleless man with a skull. snake.
Where the skeleton connects to the body, there are many thick and short tentacles growing constantly, like Medusa's terrible snake hair! Update the fastest computer terminal::/
Even if it has not yet entered the optimal range of the artillery, a cruel and bloodthirsty breath has already hit his face.
hiss! hiss!
"Open the song of the Siren!"
The major general's order was issued, and the "horn of storm" was turned on. On the day of its arrival, a new weapon against sea monsters with a complete layout was selected.
Even if the "Song of the Sea Monster" was set up in advance to deal with possible sea monsters, they did not expect to use it so quickly, let alone use it to deal with so many sea monsters.
Although the cape is a piece of land that plunges into the sea, there is a natural deep-water harbor beside it.
Although for large species, apart from creating a relatively flat battlefield, "Song of the Sea Monster" is not directly lethal to them.
But with the "Song of the Sea Monster", at least there is no need to worry that the sea monster will dive over and land from the shore, wasting several rounds of firepower within its range for nothing!
Hum
The three "Songs of the Sea-Monster" placed in different positions coordinated to spread the infrasound waves that have greatly increased their lethality.
Of course, the "skeleton moray", who was only a few months old, did not understand the three-dimensional fortifications of human beings. It was also the first time in his life that he faced artillery.
In fact, in its simple brain, even if there is no "Song of the Sea Monster", it has never thought of attacking from underwater in a circuitous way, because the "Bastion" is the only place nearby where a large number of humans gather, and the instinct of letting kill is positive. Come up!
Even if the bastion defenders rarely have actual combat, the training is impossible to pull down, although there is still a gap compared with the elite navy serving on the battleship.
But they still loaded the ammunition before the strange fish was close to the optimal range.
"The distance is 500 meters, the target fish-shaped sea monster, fire!"
boom! boom! boom!
In the orange-red flames and roaring gunfire that pierced the sea.
Behind the "skeleton moray", a huge whale, a colorful mantis shrimp, a seahorse in a heavy armor, and a vaguely indistinct behemoth are ready to go.
the other side.
Accompanied by the deafening sound of water, Huggins and the sea monster's army rides the huge waves along the wide channel of the Leiden River all the way up.
The "Leiden River Valley" was originally a livable area with abundant freshwater resources and flat fertile land. The tsunami caused by the power of hundreds of sea monsters was unstoppable.
In just a few minutes, the homeland that mankind has gradually established for hundreds of thousands of years will return to the barbaric era.
And every time it passes through a town inhabited by humans, a small species will leave the team and pounce on the town, causing trouble for the defenders everywhere, further delaying their pace, preventing them from uniting and causing trouble when the pirate ship returns.
However, after entering the inland, the strength of the sea monster was obviously suppressed, and due to the constraints of the river, the speed of the waves has slowed down.
But despite this, they also traveled nearly 200 kilometers within an hour, and in front of them was the destination of their trip, the city of wealth "Golden Lion City"!
And this time, the warning signal issued by the Garrison Command finally arrived here before the sea monster arrived.
Bang
The assistant slammed away from the office of the chairman of the Dutch banking consortium, panting and hurriedly reported:
"Huhhhhh, Mr. Chairman! Emergency military situation!
A large number of sea monsters have broken through the mouth of the sea and have moved upstream along the Leiden River. There is also a pirate ship that has been accompanied by Huggins’s ship, the "Icon of Everlasting". The destination is unknown! "
Wow!
The vigorous white-haired old man behind the desk stood up voluntarily, and didn't even notice the important documents he had dropped to the ground.
Old Joel stared at his always wise and capable assistant with eagle-like eyes. The original Gujing Wubo on his face seemed to have been dropped by a big rock, and his color instantly changed:
"How can the sea monster in the deep sea enter the land? And the sea monster and Huggins got together?!"
Because of the natural suppression of sea monsters by the land, at least in the history of human records, there has never been a record of living sea monsters going deep inland.
Wei Wei calmed down and breathed, and Nisk's assistant from his hometown replied in disbelief and deep sorrow:
"There is news from the garrison headquarters at the mouth of the sea that it is suspected that a sea monster has set off a large tsunami, and, besides, Nisk is over!"
The old man's face was uncertain, and he had already guessed when the assistant spoke.
A large number of sea monsters can pass through the entrance to the sea, so Nisk, the first water city in the entrance of the sea, is of course the first to bear the brunt. There is only a tragic and more tragic end.
What he considers is what impact the uncontrolled variable entry of sea monsters will have on his Golden Lion City and bank group!
If the things that humans are most afraid of in this era of great navigation are listed on a list, then the sea monsters will definitely be among the best on the list.
In particular, their irresistible power and extreme hostility to humans are their eternal labels.
If a traveler encounters a sea monster while going out to sea, without a battleship escorting or there are powerful transcendents on board, then it means that he has got a one-way ticket to hell!
Even if, like most directors, he believes that Hudgens will not be so unwise to destroy the "good" cooperative relationship between the two parties, there is no concept of partners and customers for the sea monsters. It is really hard to say what will happen then.
As the chairman of the four-member committee of the Dutch Banking Group and the governor of the Golden Lion City, regardless of whether Huggins and the group of sea monsters are targeting the Golden Lion City, the old man must make a decision at this time!
"Deliver my orders.
First, the highest level of early warning will sound the alarm to let all citizens leave the city and take refuge in the Pine Forest Farm! Draw a team of city guards to accompany you to maintain order!
Second, inform the great knight Mr. Grace and the two wizards of the "Steam Master" and "Eater Witch" on duty to prepare them for the battle. The large treasury of the bank group, especially the third floor, must not be lost.
Third, take my warrant to personally mobilize our private army to board the city wall to buy time for the citizens to evacuate. No, I will go personally. I want to see if this pirate king dares to step into the Golden Lion City!
Fourth, you personally pass the news to the Bishop Jasper of the Golden Roof Cathedral, and ask him to stick to the Golden Roof Cathedral, just in case, and start the last resort if necessary.
Finally, all the staff of the banking group stick to their posts. We must be worthy of the trust that our customers place in us, and we must also be worthy of the unbreakable reputation established by the ancestors of the banking group. "
The old man knew that time was pressing and he didn't have too much time to delay. He put on his formal coat while issuing the order swiftly, and took his cane and walked out of his office first.
Da da da
When the two people walked out of the office, the sixteen directors or their representatives based in Golden Lion City had also received news and rushed over.
Behind them is a group of bodyguards with high-end equipment and full armor. There are men and women, but each of them is at least an extraordinary person at the official knight level.
Among the equipment of this group of extraordinary people, there are at least one or two pieces of extraordinary aura shining brilliantly, revealing an unabashedly "local tyrant" temperament from head to toe.
"Mr. Chairman! As a director of the bank group, you should naturally be at the forefront of protecting your clients' property. Please let us join you on the wall."
Obviously, what he said was indeed the motto that the "Netherlands Bank Group" had existed since its establishment.
But most of them didn't take Huggins' attack seriously. Since they passed the water city of Nisk, the goal eight achievement was Brandenburg, the capital of Salt Lake County in the back of the valley.
These shareholders come from many countries, and they have no sense of belonging to the Kingdom of Tyrol. Huggins can fight as he wants, as long as he doesn't hinder his own money.
Standing up at this time, not only is there no danger, but also a lot of bonus points in the forces behind themselves!
Being able to step forward in a crisis is naturally a manifestation of being able to accomplish things and being able to entrust heavier responsibilities in the future.
However, even if it is just passing through the "Golden Lion City", after all, our customers and employees are shocked.
The next transaction ~EbookFREE.me~ It seems that the price should be increased, but Mr. Harkins, the pirate king of the Black Sea, is always generous in transactions, isn't it? Ha ha ha
Until now, they are still very optimistic. The long-term good cooperation in the past allowed them to maintain their inertial thinking and did not believe that Hudgens’ goal would be themselves.
Hearing their offer, Mr. Chairman also showed a smile on his face.
Most of these directors are his juniors. Since he has the courage and responsibility at this time, he is naturally happy for the successors of the bank group.
"Very good, we will meet this old customer together! No matter what the pirate king wants to do, since he passed the bank consortium, he should send us a note in advance!"
The words revealed a slight dissatisfaction with the action of the Pirate King. Although the wise Mr. Chairman issued a series of orders in accordance with the emergency plan, his true thoughts in his heart were obviously no different from his juniors.
Still looking at the world from the perspective of a banker
