Chapter 1432: Battle of the Island

Although this night battle was very lively, it lasted for a short time, and the battle was resolved within a dozen.
After cleaning the battlefield carefully, it was already early in the morning, and the island finally fell silent again.
After a night of noisy, the Marines on the beach were all exhausted and fell asleep with their rifles.
Probably the explosion also frightened the undead people hiding in the jungle, and nothing unusual happened in the second half of the night.
The next day, Lord Lorraine opened his eyes, woke up from his sleep, stretched his waist, then shook his head, and said in his heart: The big ship is more comfortable than the boat.
I did not sleep so peacefully on the Victory.
Lord Lorraine rubbed his eyes and looked at the sky outside the porthole in a daze. He found that the sky outside was still very dark, and the dim sky leaked a trace of gray, as if it was still at the dawn of the moment.
He couldn't help but feel strange. After these two years of military career, his biological clock is extremely accurate. As long as no one is disturbed, he will wake up at dawn.
Now, looking at the sky outside the cabin, it seems that it is only five or six o'clock.
"It's still early," Lorraine hesitated for a moment, and wanted to continue falling asleep. Yesterday, he couldn't sleep until two or three in the morning.
But then he woke up: something is wrong~!
He turned over and sat up from the bed, and then picked up the pocket watch on the table. As expected, it was already seven o'clock, and it was already dawn.
In other words, Sir Alex has already slept for fifteen minutes more.
"Why is it so dark? Is it cloudy?" Lord Lorraine murmured in his heart, he hurriedly got up in his cloak, and then went out of the cabin to take a look, and he was taken aback.
I saw a piece of gray in the sky, and black clouds gathered from all directions, completely covering the rising sun, and the sky in sight was completely overcast.
There is also a faint mist on the sea, and the mist is actually a strange gray
It's as if some black dye infiltrates into the normal fog, which is very strange.
This situation reminded him of his encounter with Edwood the Lich.
Lorraine couldn't help but sink in his heart: This is not a good omen~!
At this time, the sailors of the fleet and the soldiers on the island are all aware of this situation. Many sailors have been wandering at sea for more than ten years. This is the first time they have seen the dark gray fog. And this kind of cloudy day like a storm, could not help but There was a panic.
Seeing this, the officers on the ship immediately yelled at them and sternly reprimanded them.
In the shortest time, they stabilized again. Then drove them away, throwing them all into combat preparations.
The elves next to them were rioting for a while and gathered on the side of the ship to look at the sky and shout loudly. This made the human officers and soldiers who were a little flustered just now very much despise, they are all people, and they are twittering like a group of little girls.
The elves seem to have realized this too, and the officers unceremoniously beat and kicked the soldiers, and finally stabilized them.
Under the command of the officer, the Marines on the shore hid behind trenches and temporary fortifications, facing the island, set up machine guns, and unscrewed the back cover of the grenade.
All the warships were also ready, and they opened their guns and aimed the guns of the black hole on the shore.
The steam boilers of human battleships also started to ignite, and the chimneys emitted billowing black smoke, making a "empty" sound like a monster's roar.
The Elf Royal Ark is very greedy for human alchemy technology nearby, and can sail quickly without raising its sails.
Then he yelled and held the rope of the sail tightly in his hand. Just waiting for an order, he pulled up his sails and turned to a favorable combat position.
At this time, within half an hour, the fog had become thicker and thicker. Even the warship in the distance was left with only a vague outline.
A frigid wind blows from the mountains and forests deep in the island, and we can hear the faint wailing and groaning in the wind.
An unpleasant smell spread to the fleet outside Hong Kong with the wind.
All this shows that something abnormal is about to happen.
The veterans who participated in the Vatican battle judged from experience that undead creatures will appear soon.
The soldiers couldn't help being nervous. The sea was behind the soldiers on the beach. Even if they wanted to retreat, they had no way out, and they would fight to the end.
Immediately, I heard the shouts of the officers nearby.
"Brothers, don't panic."
"For the glory of the empire."
"Look ahead."
"The undead is nothing to fear. Still kill them with one shot."
"Those who flee the battle will be cut~!"
"After winning this battle, I invite brothers to drink good wine~!"
"There are six hundred artillery behind us. There is nothing to be afraid of."
"Hold it up, reinforcements will come soon."
The voice was either encouragement, threat, or temptation, but in a word, the soldiers were not allowed to take a step back and must defend the beachhead.
When the soldiers heard the voices of the officers, they became quiet. Because while the officers kept yelling, they also explained one thing-the officers did not run away, but fought side by side with themselves.
At this moment, the forest in the distance began to shake, as if there was a giant beast ramming in it, and countless birds were frightened and flew up and screamed.
At the same time, there was a strange roar in the forest, like crying and howling.
The soldiers couldn't help but feel nervous again.
Although you can't see the enemy, you can easily tell from the scale of the forest shaking that the number of enemies is by no means a minority.
The soldiers of the Marine Corps firmly grasped their rifles, pressed them against their shoulders, and scanned the dense forest not far away through the front sight.
The muzzle of the machine gun swayed from side to side, ready to fire at any time.
Lorraine stood on the mothership, raised his binoculars, and scanned briefly. I wanted to find out what was in the forest, but because of the fog and forest obstruction, I couldn't see anything.
However, Sir Alex only hesitated for a moment, then raised his chin slightly.
The messenger next to him immediately waved the flag in his hand and roared in anger: "Take off, take off~!"
Before his words fell, a war fort on the deck whizzed up from the ground, flew into the air, passed over the fleet's head, and rushed towards the direction of the shaking forest.
The war fortress walks through the fog, and a wake can be seen behind it.
Lorraine raised the binoculars again and looked into the distance. Then he saw the war fortress flying over the forest, and then dropped the bomb without hesitation.
I saw an orange firework blooming in the forest.
The orange flame kept rising, turning into a huge fireball in the sky, and the stabbing person's eyes were painful.
Then I heard the ‘boom, a deep and loud bang, and countless trees, soil and rocks flew into the sky with the explosion.
Immediately afterwards, a shock wave visible to the naked eye appeared from the explosion point and then rapidly expanded.
In the blink of an eye, they came and passed the ship, and everyone who was blowing like a violent wind could hardly open their eyes. At the same time, the battle flag on the height of the ship was suddenly deployed, sending out a burst of sound.
Lorraine hurriedly raised the telescope again, only to see billowing black smoke rising from the place where it exploded just now. The surrounding woods were blown up. When the black smoke was rising, I vaguely saw a strange beast facing here. roar.
There seemed to be a flowing black river on its side, rushing towards it.
Lorraine couldn't help sighing, and then said: "Order the battleship to move as far as possible and tell the brethren to cheer up. This is a tough battle.
The mages and priests are on guard, beware of aerial targets. "
Immediately there was a messenger next to him, puffing up his cheeks, ‘buzzing, blew the horn in his hand.
The sound of the horn penetrated the entire surface of the sea and clearly passed into the ears of the officers and soldiers on the shore.
As soon as the horn fell, I heard a horn sound in the distance.
The sound of the horn is different from the loud and long sound of human beings. It seems to be coming from some tattered horn, which is a little hoarse and unpleasant, making people feel chills.
When the horn fell, countless black shadows appeared on the edge of the forest.
They...Uh, to be precise, they are all ragged, with hollow eyes, stiff movements, and a little slow between walking.
From time to time, they could hear the roar of wild beasts from their throats, swaying towards the Marine Corps position on the beach.
"Undead, the undead is coming up~!" someone couldn't help but yelled in a low voice.
The voice was quick and tense, as if it would suffocate without shouting.
To ordinary soldiers of flesh and blood, undead creatures are far more terrifying than human beings.
Then an officer shouted loudly: "Attention, don't shoot first, wait until you get close before you fight. Brothers, hold on, and fight when you get close..."
"A bunch of bone sticks, nothing terrible~!"
At this time, more and more undead appeared on the edge of the forest. They gathered into a dense group and slowly walked towards the human position built on the beach.
Lorraine raised his binoculars and calculated a little. There were already thousands of people who only appeared. At this time, the trees in the forest were still shaking, and more undead continued to pass through the forest. In front of the eyes, it gives people an endless feeling.
Lorraine secretly asked, "How many things have the undead people hide on this island?"
The striker of the undead creatures was only 100 meters away from the Marine Corps position. From the striker to the clearing in the dense forest, all kinds of undead creatures were already covered at this moment, and the scalp was numb at a glance.
At this time, the front sight of the rifle could catch the head of the undead creature. The officer jumped up from behind the bunker, brandished the pistol, and screamed: "Fire, fire~!"
Immediately, the soldier next to him had already turned the handle of the Gatling machine gun, and bursts of flames burst out of the muzzle.
"Tutututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututu,the machine gun monotonous and mechanical sound kept ringing The rain of bullets spilled on the undead creature not far away.
I saw the undeads on the opposite side fell like weeds under the muzzle of their guns. Due to the powerful kinetic energy of the bullets, they hit the undeads, tearing many of them to pieces, breaking their hands and feet, and stopping them. They shot in half, but...
But for the undead, as long as they don't hit the head, they won't die.
So even though they fell down, they roared and crawled forward slowly on the ground, moving bit by bit.
There seemed to be countless disgusting ants on the ground.
At the same time, more dead spirits passed them and appeared in the sight of human beings.
The gap that appeared under the machine gun fire was instantly filled with more undead.
When the human soldiers saw this situation, they were all heartbroken. If they rushed to the front, the quick gun would not work.
The soldiers fired at the undead desperately, and the crackling gunfire rang out. Under their intensive firepower, many undead were finally shot and died, but more dead spirits came up.
At this time, the battleships in the sea also opened fire.
The sound of artillery fire like a muffled thunder came, and the shells roared out of the barrel, across the sky, and finally landed among the dense undead team. Then it exploded.
‘Boom, boom boom, boom boom boom, violent explosions keep coming.
The orange-red fireballs rose up like fireworks at the same time, throwing away countless human fragments everywhere.
The pressure on the frontline soldiers suddenly became lighter.
But immediately, I heard another hoarse horn sounded in the distance.
Those undead who rushed out of the forest suddenly split into two groups, one group continued to rush toward the soldiers on the shore, while the other group rushed straight into the sea from the flanks.
As they rushed into the sea, the sea water suddenly seemed to boil, and there was continuous water splashing.
Through the clear water, you can see that those undead walking on the bottom of the sea, like an undercurrent, rushing towards the battleship.
The battleships continued to fire on the shore as they had not been seen. The choking white smoke kept billowing on the deck.
Due to the constant bombardment, the temperature in the small space of the cabin rose extremely fast, and the gunners were all tired and sweaty. Many people had to take off their shirts, shirtless, and work hard.
At this time, more and more dead spirits have poured into the sea toward the battleship. The striker has reached a distance of less than two hundred meters from the battleship.
On the mothership in the rear, the war fortresses have taken off one after another.
They hang all kinds of bombs and gallop forward.
Two war fortresses came above the heads of the undead in the sea, circled twice, and then dropped bombs toward the most crowded place.
Two fell into the water one after the other, and exploded immediately.
Because of the effect of water, the effect of bomb explosions is much weaker than that of land, but also because of the effect of water, the shock wave generated is much stronger than that of land.
The shock wave generated by the depth charge underwater can tear apart the steel, not to mention the dead spirits. In just a moment, the dead spirits are torn into pieces, as if being stirred by a giant mixer, and then slowly The ground surfaced.
A layer of broken corpses and limbs floated on the sea, looking from a distance like dense aquatic plants.
The remaining war fortress flew toward the distant forest.
More than 20 war fortresses lined up in a row, came to the sky above the forest, and then dropped the heavy bombs one by one.
A series of huge fireballs rose into the air, forming a wide wall of fire in the middle of the dense forest, and thick smoke billowed up into the sky.
The attack of the undead on the ground was immediately slowed down. But immediately, they stepped forward again and rushed toward the human defense.
Lorraine couldn't help but sighed for a long time: And if in the past, fighting on the plains, humans could organize a powerful knight group, bravely advance, rush into the enemy's formation, and behead the lich. Without the command of the Lich, the undead became a group.
But now, fighting in this dense forest terrain is simply a disaster for mankind. The undead liches can hide in the middle of the forest and command their troops calmly. People can't find them at all.
At this time, among the undead's ranks, a dark knight in armor can be vaguely seen.
Those people are tall and burly, agile, and possess the same wisdom as humans. They have been hiding behind the crowd. While avoiding the bullets shot by humans by terrain or trees, they kept jumping up and down toward the human position. go ahead.
The soldiers on the shore looked at them and were horrified. Then they turned their guns and fired at the dark knights~EbookFREE.me~ The battleships on the sea continued to open fire, but nonetheless, the dead souls We still stubbornly resisted the gunfire and advanced forward.
Although they all have to pay a great price for every one meter forward, the undead have no fear at all.
Before they knew it, the dead spirits were getting closer and closer.
Immediately some soldiers started throwing grenades, blowing up the dead spirits into the sky.
But at this time, more dead spirits rushed up.
They were like waves at high tide, they were beaten back by a wave, and then another wave appeared. Although it retreats time and time again, each time it rises, it will be closer to human defense than ever before.
At this time, the war fortress had been loaded with bombs again and rose into the air. Throw a part of the bombs into the water and blow up the undead who attacked again from underwater.
The other part was thrown into the forest, first to block the enemy's reinforcements, and secondly, in the hope that the blind cat could bump into the dead mice and blow up the undead liches hiding in the dark.
Lorraine sighed secretly in his heart: Now that the war has been fought, it has become a war of attrition, depending on whether the enemy has a large number or his own bullets.
At this moment, I suddenly heard someone shouting: "The enemy, the enemy is coming up from the other side."
Lorraine couldn't help but stunned, then turned his head to look, and saw someone standing on the edge of the ship's gunwale on the other side of the mothership, pointing down and shouting.
Lorraine slammed in his heart, hurried over, and then looked down with the probe. Through the clear water, you could see countless figures swaying on the bottom of the sea, which was no more than ten meters away from the battleship~!
