Just as White had guessed, when they learned that in just forty-eight hours, two high-level mages from the Southern Alliance had died in the Allied Forces' "Operation North Wind", the goblin rulers' mood could no longer be described as angry.
, basically fell into a quasi-crazy state.
It was originally just a retaliatory attack by Edelweiss City against the Allied Forces in the Bulge, but now it has evolved into a revenge operation by the entire Yugoslav Alliance. A standard battle plan has been quickly agreed upon by the goblin commanders, and is scheduled to be held on a
It will actually launch in a month.
At the same time, the news that the three Balalaika brothers were involved in the "murder" of Master Robert and Master Ferdinand was also urgently conveyed to Rudra City by Khumbu City. However, for the time being, Naga just remained silent in response to this and did not make any move.
Any reply.
On the sea west of Bracada, three airships, one in front and two in back, have been chasing each other all day long.
At this moment, darkness once again enveloped the earth, and it seemed that only the stars on the three airships were left in the world, struggling to retain the last ray of light.
"Tony, how is the repair of the hull?" Moriarty's throat became hoarse after being entangled with the goblin airship behind him for more than ten hours.
"The large hole that was penetrated has been blocked with wooden boards and temporarily reinforced with rivets, which is enough to hold up."
Tony was also covered in sweat. During the day's chase, Dayun was hit several times by goblin crossbows. One of them even completely penetrated the port side, forming a large hole as high as a person. Fortunately, there were goblin craftsmen led by Tony.
They worked hard to repair it in time, and even the flight speed was not affected much.
"Hey, White and Bruno's combined attack before dark was really beautiful. They blew up a ship in the air. Look at those bastards who dared to pursue it so close!" On the other side, Guderian was very happy.
It turned out that just half an hour ago, Olympus took advantage of the poor visibility at dusk and the goblin airship underestimated the enemy and came too close. White and Bruno simultaneously aimed at the nearest enemy aircraft and cooperated with Moriarty's two
The level-level spell "Remote Strike Enhancement (100% Hit)" luckily exploded the airbag of the nearest goblin airship. Immediately, the airship plummeted into the icy cold sea and broke into pieces.
Faced with this counterattack, the other two airships immediately braked quickly and regained distance from Dayun. Subsequently, the pressure on Olympus suddenly decreased.
"Morty, what should we do? Just go back to the north with two tails like this?" Seeing that Moriarty ignored his cheers, the silver-bearded dwarf couldn't help but said again.
"It seems that they will continue to follow. When daybreak, the opponent will definitely attack again with all their strength in order to shoot us down before reaching the Yongville area." White said, pushing Guderian aside.
"Old Crow, what do you think?"
"Your Excellency, I am more worried that the goblin airships behind will terminate the pursuit, or send one to return to the land to report the news. By then, once the Yugoslav Alliance learns our position and path of action, there will definitely be a large number of fast airships waiting ahead.
Intercept us. After all, two masters have died in your hands. This is a deep hatred that is difficult to calm down for any ruler." The old werewolf looked at the dark night outside the porthole and said coldly.
"We can't let them report the news!" White said harshly immediately.
"What should we do? Turn around and go back to fight with them?" The silver-bearded dwarf expressed his opinion again unwilling to be left alone.
"Bruno, I heard that elves have a special ability, which is that they can identify their position almost unconditionally. Even in dense and crowded jungles or ever-changing deserts, elves can accurately determine their position by relying on astrology and intuition.
You won't get lost. Is that so?" Moriarty shook his head at Guderian, but turned to Bruno and asked.
"Yes, Your Excellency. This is the innate ability bestowed upon our clan by the great Moon God." The three-flower elf nodded solemnly and said proudly.
"Very good. So look at our current position, how far is it from the Allied defense line in the Yonville Valley?"
"About eight hundred kilometers." Bruno seemed to be really confident, pointing to the northeast.
"Really or not?" Guderian muttered in a low voice, but no one paid attention to him.
"What about the distance to the Kraken's lair?" Moriarty suddenly asked again.
"Siren's lair?"
Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions changed, including White and Bruno. Only Clausewitz laughed.
"Yes, the Kraken's lair." Moriarty repeated.
"Morty, you don't want to fly there again, do you?" Guderian shouted.
"Shut up!" White shouted at the dwarf.
"About ten degrees north by west, a distance of two hundred kilometers!" Bruno answered directly without any further hesitation this time.
"Very good." Moriarty nodded. He turned back to Old Crowe and said, "Staff officer, immediately formulate a battle plan. The goal is to use the Kraken to destroy the enemy airships that are chasing us. I hope to send the enemy to the enemy tonight.
Go into the sea. Of course, the big cloud must be safe."
"Yes, Your Excellency, I understand." The old werewolf stroked his round hat and bared his teeth in a smile.
About half an hour later, the Dayun began to slowly lower its altitude, from the original altitude of about 350 meters to 150 meters above the sea. With the physical structure of the goblin airship, and the dark wind at night,
So high, such a flying posture can almost be said to be sailing close to the sea water.
Seeing Dayun suddenly lowering its altitude, the two goblin airships that were chasing after them became vigilant. But after a moment of suspicion, the goblin airships followed one after another, fearing that their opponents might accidentally escape in the dark.
Gone.
In the next two hours, the Dayun experienced inexplicable stalling or shaking of the hull several times, which was completely like the unstable flight caused by the previous damage. However, based on the lessons learned from the past, neither of the two goblin airships had any problems.
They rushed forward to attack rashly, but only slightly shortened the pursuit distance. Obviously, the goblins had made up their minds and followed Dayun steadily until dawn again, and when the situation became clear, they launched a joint attack and killed the humans in one fell swoop.
shoot down.
"Sir, fifteen kilometers due north is the Kraken's lair."
Finally, the Olympians led by Moriarty returned to their homeland and visited the Siren's home for the second time in a few days. However, the previous time they passed by the islands and reefs on a sailboat, and this time they
About to fly over the head of the Kraken.
"'Operation Serenade' has officially begun!" Moriarty nodded to Bruno and announced in a deep voice.
Immediately, all the humans, goblins, and Nagas on the big cloud took action. They sat down in their predetermined positions one by one, and then tied and tied each other with cables thicker than their arms, and finally locked them with the hull of the boat.
Only White stayed on the outer deck of the airship, with the heavy crossbow fully deployed and the explosive arrows ready to go. However, like everyone else, his feet were tightly bound by iron chains and could not break free.
About eight minutes later, a circular island appeared below the Dayun.
The moon was still bright tonight, so through the portholes Moriarty and others were able to clearly see the entirety of the Kraken's lair for the first time.
It was a small island with a mountain pass in the center, a concave and flat area around it, and a ring of coral reefs on the outside. Under the bright moonlight, the island looked quiet and peaceful, like a paradise. However, the offshore reefs were far away.
On the boat, the remains of sunken ships that were stranded one after another completely eliminated the tranquility. Without even searching hard, Moriarty found the "old fish" that had just crashed, like a corpse leaning against two rocks.
Between the cracks, only the black bow of the ship was exposed, silently.
As if they were aware of the approach of objects in the air, the siren's song that once confused all living beings sounded once again. And hearing this charming magic sound, some goblins began to struggle, as if they wanted to break free and run onto the deck. Only
However, his body was tightly tied with ropes, so he couldn't move at all and could only twist in vain.
As for Moriarty and others, they were not greatly affected by the Siren's Song because they were mentally prepared. Of course, this was also because the Siren was not "full of fire".
The Dayun was huge, but its flying speed was not slow. In just a few minutes, it flew over the island without any danger. At this time, the two goblin airships behind it also pursued it and entered the magical range of the siren's song.
When they heard such a beautiful phantom sound for the first time, the sailors on the goblin airship were immediately affected. They began to open the hatch involuntarily and gathered at the side of the boat. After a while, the first goblin crew member suddenly jumped out of the deck and approached.
Jumping into the sea from an altitude of 200 meters. And if you "jump" at this height, you may not drown at all, but will be smashed into a meat pie by the impact when entering the water.
Immediately afterwards, the second and third goblins also jumped out of the airship and plunged into the embrace of the dark sea with a look of intoxication on their faces.
But until then, the captains of the two goblin airships also understood that something was wrong, and immediately ordered to turn the helm and leave.
Unfortunately, this order came too late. As if in conjunction with the flesh and blood body jumping down, an orange stream of light flew down from the Dayun that was rapidly moving away like a comet.
After taking a breath, a huge firelight bloomed on the island with a loud roar.
Immediately, such a familiar explosion scene completely awakened the unpleasant memory of the Kraken, which was still very fresh. In an instant, a piercing scream broke through the air. Then, the song of the Kraken, which was just like a faint yarn, suddenly
It has become extremely "dense" and penetrates people's hearts. Even among the swirling and oscillating sound waves, there are illusory and beautiful figures twisting and shaking, which is extremely fascinating.
Under the full attack of the siren's song, the two goblin airships no longer had the energy to break free. They just hovered randomly in the air for a few weeks before falling straight into the sea near the islands and reefs like moths flying into a flame.
.At the same time, countless shadows flashed under the sea surface, like evil spirits in the depths of hell, pulling each living body into the deepest part of the cold seabed, leaving only waves in vain ripples on the sea surface.
