Chapter 600 Chapter 560 Bang Bang!bang bang!

On the wide river, because of the continuous rain in the north for many days, the water level was much higher than before. This was originally a natural river in the north of the mainland, going eastward. Since the empire began to build the Kaspersky Line of Defense three years ago, it has cost tens of thousands of labor and nearly a million gold coins. It took two years to convert the original The river channel has nearly doubled in width. In particular, the estuary on the east side of the sea has been widened by more than three times, making this not-so-famous river on the mainland an artificial river with a transport capacity second only to the Lancang Grand Canal in the Roland Empire. .

And all of this is just for the needs of the war. One after another, the big ships of the Imperial Sea Soul class moved slowly.Because there was not much wind, the big ship moved very slowly, and the three-masted sail was the traditional white color of the Roland Empire Navy, and on the top, the Empire's thorn flower flag fluttered. In order to be able to operate in inland rivers, these modified sea boats are equipped with rollers that roll in the water on both sides of the hull below the waterline. On the south bank of the Grand Canal is one of the three fortresses of the Kaspersky Line of Defense, the Eastern Fortress.

There are three divisions of the Storm Legion stationed here, and more than 100,000 local garrison troops mobilized to the north. Then this canal became a strong barrier guarding the northern and eastern part of the empire! This fortress is slightly smaller than the main fortress guarded by General Rostock in the middle of the Kaspersky line of defense, but it costs more here. In order to make this artificial river an integral part of the eastern part of the Kaspersky Line of Defense, this fortress was built on the south bank of the river. In addition to the role of this river as a moat, in wartime, the wide river will become A natural barrier for the Imperial Army on the South Bank!

Crossing the river would be a difficult job for the criminals' armies: if they tried to use boats, the Imperial Navy could sail directly into the river from the eastern mouth to crush the enemy on the water! The empire's navy has been operating for many years and has experienced so many expeditions in Nanyang. On the water, this is definitely a trustworthy force!The crime may be very powerful, but even Du Wei does not believe that the shipbuilding technology of these orcs can surpass that of humans. And if the other party wanted to build a bridge, it would be an impossible task!Navies can easily destroy pontoon bridges with large sturdy ships.Even... You can let some criminals cross the river first, and then destroy the bridge, then the only ending for some criminals who cross the river is to be surrounded and wiped out.

The criminals also seem to understand the difficulty of crossing the eastern defense line. At the beginning of the war, the criminal wolf cavalry also saw an outpost coming to the other side of the river from the eastern defense line, but they retreated quickly. According to the latest military situation, it seems that the other side has been There are sporadic activities of those monster race armies.However, the opponent has not attacked for a long time. On the other hand, the main fortress in the central region has already gone through many consecutive vicious fights. Those orcs had clearly seen the fact that they would rather use their flesh and blood to hit the solid city defense of the main fortress in the middle, and never tried to attack this water defense line.

At this moment, after many days of continuous heavy rain, the river water has risen, making the river surface more open. The large warships of the Imperial Sea Soul class can easily enter the river, and even in some relatively wide areas, they can be assembled into a complete The naval battle formation! The one that was heading towards the eastern fort on the river at the moment belonged to the third detachment of the East Sea Fleet of the Roland Empire Navy.A total of twenty-three large sea soul-class ships were fully loaded, and all of them were loaded with strategic materials that were continuously transported from the south of the empire.

Because inland transportation was too expensive, after the war started, the empire's huge navy took on the role of the empire's sea transport team.The countless ports in the southern coastal area of ​​the empire gathered all kinds of materials mobilized from the entire southern part of the empire: weapons, food, military pay, armor, winter clothes, and so on.Then, the Imperial Navy will send the fully loaded ship all the way north along the eastern coastline, then drive inland from the mouth of the canal, and transport it to the front-line fortress. Although there has been a continuous rainy climate that is rare in history in the north these days, but today's autumn, in the south of the empire, there is still an exciting and bumper harvest.It can be said that the powerful national power of the Roland Empire has given human beings far more war potential than criminals.With the help of the huge rear supply, human war materials can be continuously replenished to the front.

This fleet carried a batch of grain for the winter. In order to increase the capacity as much as possible, these large ships were only equipped with necessary sailors and very few combat establishments, and most of the cabins were used to load goods. On the deck, the sailors began to furl the sails under the order of the boatswain while they were working, while some combat personnel stared nervously at the north bank of the river. "Don't be nervous, rookie." An old sailor came over and patted a newcomer who was obviously immature, and said with a smile: "I have been to this river six times. The army of those monsters can't cross the river, they can only be on the north bank Going up and down. I tell you, we're safe on the water. They can't make it into the river!"

As he said that, the old sailor, whose clothes were covered with rust, pointed to the ballistas on the deck covered with canvas, and said with a smile, "Look! Do you see those big guys? These things It's amazing! If those monsters dare to approach the shore, they can shoot them over... bang!" He opened his hands and made a movement of a ballista firing. At this time, the people on the watchtower suddenly lowered their heads and shouted loudly: "There are enemies on the north shore!!" This cry immediately alarmed the people on board, and many sailors immediately ran towards the right side of the hull.

Soon, someone shouted loudly: "Hey! Look! There! There! Those monsters are there! Haha, it's just like in the legend." Most of the sailors showed no signs of fear, pointing at the north bank, cursing and pointing. On the north bank, behind the river slope, black shadows emerged from the bushes one by one.The giant wolves with brown and long hair all over the body grinned at the human fleet slowly driving tens of meters apart on the river, and whimpered full of hostility incessantly. And on the wolf's back, those wolf cavalry in rough but hard iron armor, with green eyes under the iron helmet, stared coldly at the laughing and cursing human sailors on the ship.

The river channel separated by tens of meters made it impossible for the wolf cavalry to attack the big ship. No matter how strong the jumping ability of the giant wolf was, it was absolutely impossible for the wolf cavalry to jump onto the ship by leaping tens of meters. These wolf cavalry didn't use bows and arrows, they just appeared row by row on the river break, coldly cast their eyes at the big human ships, and some drew out their long knives, brought them to their mouths, and spit out The scarlet tongue gently licked the blood on the blade. Some newcomers on the boat who had never seen this scene could not help but change color when they saw the monsters, but those old sailors who had experienced this scene many times comforted their companions: "Don't be afraid, we are on the water, they can't help it! It's a pity There are too few of them, and the last time we used them, these guys ran very fast, and the ballista couldn't kill them in large numbers, otherwise, they were so close to us, the captain would have ordered the cannons to be fired." More unscrupulous sailors even made some humiliating and cursing movements towards the opposite bank. "Monster! Come here! Are you afraid of water! Hahahaha!" "Come on, jump down and take a shower!!!" "Oh, I love your fur! I want to skin you for a new coat!!" Hearing the yelling and cursing of the sailors, the officer did not stop immediately.This war has reached the present, and many soldiers have been killed in front of them. There is a deep hatred between humans and these monsters. The behavior of the sailors is also very normal. After letting the subordinates vent for a while, the head of the sailor came over, kicked several people's butts fiercely, and cursed at the top of his voice: "Stop playing! Get to work!! Hurry up! Get back to your post!" !" At the helmsman's position at the stern, a middle-aged man wearing the uniform of the commander of the Imperial Navy put down the binoculars in his hand and looked back from the north shore.This is the captain of the ship. He frowned, and suddenly glanced at the first officer beside him, and said in a low voice, "I think it's a little unusual." "It's nothing strange, they are only able to stare at us on the shore." The first mate muttered: "Captain, we have seen this kind of scene several times." "But I think it's different this time." The captain frowned, and his brows were tightly knit together: "Do you still remember? We saw enemies on the shore last night, and now it seems that they followed us on the shore all day and night Yes. This has never happened before..." The first officer thought for a while, and said, "Anyway, we're almost at the fortress, and these guys can't do anything, my lord." The captain pondered for a while: "Caution is the best thing to do. Pass my order and put all combat personnel on standby! Ballistas are in place!" The first officer immediately stood up, gave a military salute, and was about to respond, but at this moment! boom! ! A roar came from the bow of the ship!This roaring crash comes from underwater!Before the sailors on the boat had time to shout out, they felt a violent shaking under their feet. Some people who were still standing by the side of the boat fell into the river without warning. The violent shaking of the hull immediately cast a dangerous shadow over everyone's heart! "My lord, we hit a rock." A bosun who was used to walking on the sea immediately ran to report, and the captain immediately roared: "Idiot! We are not at sea! This is an inland canal! It was dug artificially! How could there be a hidden reef! " As soon as he finished speaking, he heard another "boom"! ! This time the sound was louder than before, the ship shook violently, and the captain staggered suddenly, almost falling down. He held on to the rudder and roared angrily: "What happened!" "We hit something, it's under the water, right on the bow!" A sailor quickly ran to report, but then there was a panicked shout from the front. "Below! There's something underwater!" "My God! It's a living thing! What a shadow!" "Ah! On the right side too!!" The yelling was endless, and at this moment, the hull made a terrible sound of wood splintering!Following violent shaking, an oily officer from the cabin ran up and shouted in panic, "My lord! Our cabin is flooded!! All the drainage tanks are finished! Below..." "Send someone to drain the water! Bastard!!" The captain quickly cursed: "Drain the water! Let your people drain the water! Plug the leak for me! The leaky cabin is immediately sealed!! Damn it! Is it your first day on board!! These Do you want me to teach you things!" Before he finished cursing, he suddenly felt the vibration under his feet suddenly stop. This short silence seemed to carry a strange and dangerous aura. But this calm only lasted for a few short breaths, and soon, amidst the shouting and cursing of the captain and everyone, the hull suddenly tilted to the right! ! "What's going on! What's going on!!" People shouted in panic, but this big boat still slowly seemed to be pushed up by something underwater! The hull tilted so badly that the bottom of the right side of the ship was almost completely out of the water, and the entire bottom of the right side of the ship was above the water!The deck was seriously tilted, and many people didn't have time to grab things, and quickly slipped and fell to the other side. There was a constant plopping sound, and many sailors fell into the water with exclamations. The captain firmly grasped the rudder frame, and was about to say something, at this moment, finally, several huge black shadows slowly surfaced from the right side of the hull!The shadow got higher and higher, and finally showed the whole face in front of the panicked people on the ship! The captain felt that he was covered by a shadow below, he looked to the right side in surprise, and subconsciously called out in a low voice: "God! What are these things!" These are his last words. boom! ! ! Finally, this sea soul-class big ship was overturned by the entire congregation. The hull turned over, countless people fell into the water, and the big ship was turned upside down! On the surface of the river, several huge monsters that were seven or eight meters above the water surface opened their terrifying mouths and let out terrifying roars! ! On the river, chaos! ... Du Wei felt that he fell asleep, and slept very deeply. It can be said that since he became a magician, he seems to have not slept so soundly for a long time. Magicians can use meditation to restore their mental strength, which means that most magicians don't need to sleep most of the time in their lives-nearly one-third of a person's life is spent in sleep. What a waste for a magician to spend in bed! Du Wei's strength increased rapidly. As his strength became higher, he seldom slept less and less. Most of the time, he replaced sleep with meditation.Meditating for three hours a day can not only exercise your mental strength, but also save your sleeping time to do other things. But this time, with such a sweet sleep feeling, even in the unconscious state of a dream, Du Wei still felt a long-lost sense of comfort. What he didn't know was that his body was also changing little by little in his sleep. "Go to sleep, boy, go to sleep..." Chris smiled hey, standing in front of Du Wei, Du Wei was as quiet as a baby. Chris's fingertips still had blood, and above Du Wei's chest, on the left side of his chest, was a huge gash! The exposed part, a bright red heart, is beating slowly, one by one... bang bang!bang bang!bang bang!bang bang... Chris took a deep breath, then let it out slowly. From his mouth, a trace of milky white gas spewed out, and soon lingered on Du Wei's body, and the milky white gas immediately turned into a ball of water, covering Du Wei's body in it. Then, Chris stretched out his hand, and gently poked the skull-like claws into Du Wei's chest. His fingertips were already pinching the beating heart! bang bang!bang bang!bang bang...
