The sound of artillery fire has been heard all over the sky, crackling, as if a hole is being blasted out of the sky.
The explosions come and go, making people's eardrums hurt.
The twenty-four cities that were once prosperous are now plunged into a sea of war.
After all, it is a steel ship island specially built for war survival. With thousands of cannons fired, even the huge Neptune type can't get much benefit for a while.
If it were an ordinary hunting operation of sea kings, this large-scale volley of firepower would definitely make them want to retreat, even if they did not kill those low-intelligence deep-sea behemoths.
But for some unknown reason, today, as if they were not afraid of life and death, these sea kings were attacking the ship island crazily again and again, and...the number was increasing.
"It's really a good method... You can destroy most of Philip's territory's defenses without a single blow. After this battle, whether Philip's territory can survive it or not, it will definitely decline..."
Raymond's face was gloomy and uncertain, and he was also slightly worried in his heart.
If that person could create such a large-scale monster to attack the city, he must have the back-up plan to take advantage of it.
The Tianlan Royal Navy has not shown up yet, so it is estimated that after this wave of sea beasts attack the city, the real battle will begin.
...
"Philip Academy" is an independent ship island outside the twenty-four urban districts. It represents the most cutting-edge engineering technology level in the territory. Both the number of artillery and the thickness of armor defense are much higher than other districts.
At this moment, the steel ship island transformed into a state of war is like an iron hedgehog, surrounded by copper walls and iron walls hundreds of meters high, and countless artillery cannons standing in the forest.
Raymond thought he was already looking forward to seeing this monster attacking the city, but the next moment he heard the furious roar of the dragon, he realized that this matter was much more serious than expected.
A huge shadow passed overhead, causing a commotion among the people on the island.
Even with just a quick glance, he immediately recognized the origin of the flesh-winged lizard that just flew across the sky.
"That...could it be the sixth-order lava dragon "Kraken" on Nigel Volcano Island?"
Raymond's pupils shrank suddenly, finally realizing the fatal crisis.
As a Black Sea overlord-level creature, the lava dragon "Kraken" has always been everyone's nightmare. Although it is a sixth-level sub-dragon, the combat power of dragon-shaped creatures is generally one level higher than that of creatures of the same level. This means that
So, the actual combat power of this dragon is at least equivalent to Sequence 3 of a human transcendent...
The Black Sea is originally just a remote small sea area, and the inheritance of ordinary extraordinary people is only Sequence 5. The existence of this lava dragon is simply synonymous with invincibility.
Think about how many players in the game wanted to be the dragon-slaying warrior...but they were all burned clean by this guy's mouthfuls of lava and thick phlegm.
It was not until the later stages, when the average player level reached Sequence 3, that some unwilling high-level players organized a team of dragon slayers to return to the Black Sea to kill this evil dragon that was at the top of the food chain in the novice sea area. Even so.
, also suffered heavy damage...
"I see... Only this kind of creature at the top of the food chain can drive so many sea kings to attack the city. I didn't expect that the guy behind the scenes actually attracted all these things."
There was a haze in Raymond's eyes.
Now, he can only hope that this evil dragon will not come to Philip Academy.
Otherwise, no one would really be able to deal with this kind of monster that can physically withstand magic cannons and fly quickly.
"Everyone... gather in battle formation!"
On the radio, assembly orders were repeatedly broadcast. After the war was mobilized, everyone entered their respective preparation positions.
On the contrary, this group of students from Philip Academy were idle and were ordered to stay put.
There is no need for low-level supernatural beings like them to die on the front line. They have over-controlled artillery and territorial defense forces.
After a brief restless commotion,
Raymond and these guys sat in the square of the college and fell into a long waiting time.
...
The artillery fire roared all day and night without any sign of stopping.
Phillip led each block to fight on its own, and the battle situation was much more dangerous than that of the idle students.
"Lord, Block 6's defense C17, Armor C19 has been breached, and the sea beast has invaded the interior of the island..."
"Lord, the bilge of Block 9 has fallen, and a sea beast has invaded the island from the inside..."
"Lord, we are in urgent need of artillery and ammunition in Block 13..."
"Sir, that lava dragon is attacking Block 5 right now. The city guards have suffered heavy casualties. We can't stop it..."
Finally, a block was captured, and the most brutal street fighting began.
There are so many monsters... not only the giant sea kings, but also countless small monsters gathered from all directions in the sea. Human-faced sea spiders, deep-sea corpses, sea pythons, colorful wing poisons
Salamander... There are unknown creatures on the sea floor that keep hitting the bottom of the island. Once there is a gap, those amphibious sea beasts will flood into the island like a tide. They can emerge from anywhere underground, making it difficult to guard against...
.
...
"It's been a day and a night, why are they still fighting outside... I don't know when it will end."
"If the sky falls, won't there be tall people to hold it up? Why are you worrying so much? Besides, there are still troops and mentors. Even if they come in, it won't be our turn to fight. The most we can do is stay here.
In a few days, it will be fine once the beast tide subsides."
"Yes, our academy is equipped with the most advanced magic artillery... Even the Neptune class cannot withstand a few cannons. There is nothing to worry about."
"But... everyone has also seen the lava dragon. This time the beast tide may be different from the past... I'm worried..."
"..."
The students gathered in the square of the college and were bored.
After spending a tense and long night, this group of young students who had never experienced war had not realized how serious the war situation in the territory was now.
In their view, Philip Academy is the last fortress of the territory and will never be captured by a group of sea monsters.
...
In the corner of the elite class, Raymond sat on the floor.
He is notorious in the academy, and no one except Eileen and Zhu wants to talk to him.
The three of them chatted wordlessly.
They all knew more or less the inside story, so naturally they were not as optimistic about this sea beast siege as other students.
This sea monster attack was clearly caused by someone overriding the control behind the scenes, and it was far from over.
They obviously heard other people's comments,
Eileen frowned slightly and said worriedly: "Leymon, do you think those sea beasts can invade the academy?"
Raymond looked a little solemn: "It's hard to say! That lava dragon can fly, and the lava it spits can melt steel. If it really wants to fight, it will definitely be able to break through the fire net and rush in."
Eileen pointed to the tall tower in the distance and said, "But we have a magic crystal cannon."
In the center of the academy stands eight turrets nearly a thousand meters high. Each turret has a giant magic crystal cannon with a 300-meter barrel. The 360-degree rotating turret allows them to attack from any direction.
Incoming enemies.
At this moment, the eight artillery pieces were aimed at the sky. As long as the evil dragon fell from the sky, it would definitely be hit by a fierce bombardment.
These magic artillery are the most powerful attacking force in the territory. They can easily annihilate fifth-level sea beasts with one shot, and even severely damage sixth-level sea beasts... Ordinary sea kings cannot survive a single round under this kind of firepower.
Raymond was not so optimistic and said: "This lava dragon is very cunning, and it will definitely not choose to attack from above. Moreover, its reaction is very sensitive, and the magic crystal cannon may not be able to hit it."
At this moment, another high-pitched dragon roar suddenly came from the sky.
Hearing the harsh sound, Judy frowned and said doubtfully: "Eileen, you said... that evil dragon's roar was obviously much lower than yesterday. After fighting for a day and night, his physical energy must have been greatly exhausted.
, but why does it still look like it won’t stop dying?”
"I don't know either. The ordinary beast tide should have ended long ago..."
Irene felt slightly uncomfortable listening to the dragon's roar. Yao frowned slightly and said, "Classmate Lei Meng, what do you think? I always feel that you know a lot about this evil dragon?"
Judy on the side also blinked and said, "Yes, I also think that Mr. Raymond knows a lot of things."
"'Cunning Lava Dragon Kraken'...it's recorded in the classics."
Raymond pursed his lips and guessed: "Dragon creatures are violent by nature. Maybe it's because of treasures, mating, and foraging. These factors can make them go berserk. But I want 'Kraken' to be as furious as he is now."
I don’t understand the situation..."
After a pause, he didn't think about it and said casually: "The dragon's roar just now sounded a bit desperate. It was probably due to some deep hatred, for example, someone stole its dragon egg..."
Eileen smiled and joked: "Can you still understand the dragon's emotions?"
"Just a guess..."
Hey, dragon egg?
As soon as Raymond said this, he suddenly realized something.
Counting the time, it seems that during this period, this evil dragon really gave birth to a dragon egg?
His eyelids twitched,
Damn it, no one really stole that evil dragon's egg, right?
When Raymond thought about it, it seemed that this was the only reason that could drive Kraken crazy at all costs. Or would the guy who stole the dragon egg frantically break the dragon egg to deliberately provoke it?
The deeper you think about it, the clearer the clues become in your mind.
"If this is the case...if the dragon egg is intact, the evil dragon will definitely retreat after it is recovered. If the dragon egg is damaged...it is estimated that this evil dragon will definitely fight to the end!"
Under the careful guidance of the blind old man, Raymond's perceptual ability in "listening and understanding" improved significantly.
Now he can easily distinguish the mixed dragon's roar from the roaring gunfire, and can even roughly identify the direction...
"If I didn't know where I was, the evil dragon had previously attacked urban districts 2, 5, 6, 9, and 13... There were obviously other districts among these districts, but it avoided them. This is very strange.
Strange..."
"Does the evil dragon launch attacks at random? No, the cities under attack are far apart, and some are not in the way... This kind of irregularity seems to be that it attacks certain islands with purpose."
Huh...
Raymond thought about it, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind.
The numbers in these urban areas seem irregular, but if you think about it carefully, aren’t these urban areas controlled by a few big families that are “hardliners”?
"Could it be...that someone deliberately lured it there?!"
This idea came to Raymond's mind,
In order to confirm his conjecture, he immediately stood up and glanced at the crowd.
All the students in the elite class were in this area. He glanced over, and sure enough he didn't see those guys.
"The direct descendants of the Clive family, the Rodney family, the Caton family...these 'peace-seeking' families are not in the college!"
Irene on the side looked at the sudden change in Raymond's face and asked: "What's wrong, classmate Raymond?"
With a solemn expression on his brows, Raymond said: "Get ready to fight... I guess that lava dragon will come to the academy soon..."
Erin exclaimed and asked in confusion: "How do you know?"
"You haven't noticed the nobles of the 'peace-seeking faction'..."
Raymond briefly explained his conjecture just now and muttered: "I hope I'm overthinking it."
After hearing this, Judy glanced around curiously, and her face changed: "Huh...that's true! How could those guys not be here at the same time by chance?"
Raymond thought about it and then said: "The college has the strongest offensive and defensive power, which is probably the reason why the evil dragon will keep this place until the end. Now several blocks controlled by 'hardliners' have been breached. If there is really someone
Induction, then its next target should be here."
Erin said with a worried look: "What should we do? Should we inform Father?"
"The lord is always in control of the overall situation and must have realized this problem before we realized it."
Raymond shook his head and said: "Besides, it doesn't matter whether you say it or not now. If unfortunately I guess it right, after the defense of the academy island is breached, I'm afraid we will face a tidal wave of sea monsters. By then,
There will definitely be a bloody battle, so prepare first."
Judy looked stupid and exclaimed: "Then...if the evil dragon really attacks, what will we do?"
"Then we shouldn't worry about it... When the evil dragon comes, there will naturally be mana cannons to deal with it, so it's useless for us to worry about it."
Raymond smiled bitterly and said, "Let's first think about how to save our lives in the chaos of beasts."
Perhaps to confirm Raymond's conjecture, not long after, the entire college began to tremble.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Every muffled sound must be accompanied by a violent shaking of the ground, and the steel barrier at the end of the field of vision will also bulge. It seems that something is violently hitting the defensive iron wall of the ship island.
"What's going on! Are the Neptunes starting to attack the academy?"
"Have other urban areas fallen? How could someone like the Neptune attack here?"
"Everyone prepare to fight!"
"..."
Everyone stood up one after another, with panic in their eyes.
Philip Academy is surrounded by other blocks in the territory in the center, like the stamen of a flower. Now that the Neptune class has directly attacked the academy, it means that the other city islands that serve as the defense line have been completely occupied!
It turns out that the war situation and crisis in the territory have reached this level?!
At this time,
"Bang!"
Suddenly, there was another loud and earth-shaking sound, shaking everyone's bodies.
"Not good! The defensive armor of the ship island was broken..."
Everyone took a closer look, and saw that a giant steel plate surrounding the academy was suddenly knocked down, and dazzling light shone into the island, revealing a series of frightened and immature faces.
"Huh...are you still here?"
Raymond's heart thumped, and he no longer took any chances.
There is no way for eggs to be completed under the nest. If this level of beast tide is not defeated, no matter where they are hiding, there will be no chance of survival. Even if they want to escape by boat, there are so many sea kings in this sea area, and there is no chance of survival.
Chance of survival!
At this time, the iron wall collapsed, and a huge rhinoceros head poked through the gap in the barrier.
The several-meter-thick steel plate was as fragile as a wooden board under its hard top corners. Several layers were lifted open in a few clicks, and a huge gap was torn open in the college's defense layer in a blink of an eye.
This behemoth is clearly the "Titan Sea Rhinoceros" with infinite brute force!
Just then,
The eight huge turrets in the center of the island lit up with blue light, and the eight gun barrels also turned their muzzles in the direction of the broken iron wall.
"Charge!"
After the order was given, the blue inscriptions on the hundreds of meters long barrel on the fort instantly lit up, and the tiny blue light spots in the barrel slowly gathered into a huge light source... About ten breaths later
, the enchanted inscriptions shine to the extreme, like volcanoes that are ready to erupt with sufficient strength, ready to deliver a fatal blow at any time.
"Fire!"
Following an order, several blue beams of annihilation focused on the Titan Sea Rhinoceros at the same time. Before the behemoth even had time to react, its head was blown open by the magic crystal cannon!
"Killed!"
"Let me tell you, there is no need to worry at all. The academy has the most advanced magic artillery in the territory. Even the rough-skinned and thick-skinned Titan Sea Rhinoceros can't withstand a round of focused fire. Other sea kings can't even withstand a single shot!"
"Haha, we won, we killed the Neptune class!"
"..."
The students looked at this exciting scene and cheered one after another. The doubts that had been lingering in their hearts just now were instantly wiped away when they saw this powerful magic crystal cannon.
"The defensive armor has been breached. Now I have to be very passive when trying to defend..." Raymond did not join in the cheering.
He watched the Titan Sea Rhino fall, and then looked at the gap that was torn open, and his face became very ugly.
With his eyesight, he can clearly see that the ship islands on the distant sea have become ruins. Thick flames and smoke are spreading all over the ship islands, and the sound of gunfire is gradually becoming sparse, which means that the resistance forces on those ship islands are also starting to
Falling apart...
Eventually, the beast tide will rush towards the last hard-to-gnaw bone.
Philip Academy must be a place of deadly battle.
"The Titan Sea Rhinoceros has low intelligence and does not know the dangers of the magic crystal cannon. It is normal for him to be killed... But the lava dragon's intelligence has been opened, and his intelligence level is even higher than that of a human being. The magic crystal cannon is very powerful.
The charging time is too long, and it may be difficult to pose a fatal threat to it. What's more, the magic energy crystal cannon is very powerful and consumes a lot of energy. If one cannon is used, it will produce at least dozens of fifth-order crystal cores.
Just disappeared. Even if the Philip family has accumulated hundreds of years of accumulation, it may not be able to fire many cannons..."
When Raymond heard the sound of gunfire from the gap in the defense, he knew that a hand-to-hand street battle was about to begin.
Sure enough, not long after, sea beasts like a tidal wave surged in from the gap.
Seeing the countless ferocious sea beasts, everyone's eyes were full of shock and fear, and their faces were bloodless.
There are simply too many... Even if the beam of the magic crystal cannon penetrates from time to time, it is like a drop of water dripping from the desert, and it cannot slow down the situation at all.
"All students, gather and prepare to fight! Four square formation! Heavy armor and shields are fighting in front, musketeers and crossbowmen are preparing for alternating fire attacks, the mage group is preparing to sing range magic, the assassin swordsmen are always ready, the medical team..."
"Mentoring team, charge with me! It's time to defend our honor!"
"Fight to the death for honor!"
"Fight to the death!"
"Fight to the death!"
Go ahead...
For a moment, guns and guns roared.
Even if you don't aim, you can hit the target by pulling the trigger in the direction of the gap at will.
Because there are too many sea beasts...the "Nightmare Sea Spider" the size of a calf, the "Silver Ring Sea Python" as thick as a water tank, the "Spiky Dragon Crocodile" that is hundreds of meters long... It is rare to encounter a ferocious one on weekdays.
The sea beasts, now as dense as grains of sand on the beach, poured into Philip Academy with great force.
"Without a single soldier or general, the 'Philip Territory' of Tianlan's first territory can be forced into a desperate situation. The people behind this are really powerful and scheming... But why haven't I heard of such a character in the previous game?
Woolen cloth?"
Raymond sighed, looked at the gap in the distance, and calmed down.
He knew that the time had come to fight to the death.
...
At the same time, in the command room deep inside the island.
Archduke Philip looked gloomy.
"Lord, the source has been found! What attracted the evil dragon should be the remains of the lava baby dragon's body."
"Take this thing to the predetermined place. Wait until the evil dragon appears and act as planned."
