Looking down from the sky, the entire Broken Islands seemed to be boiling.
In the vast expanse of blue waves, the waves were turbulent. Under the hazy waves, a shocking number of terrifying shadows were flying through the water like arrows.
The ancient powerful predators had arrived.
“-what’s that!”
When the explosion near Argus Island came from afar, the cargo ships and passenger ships that were still wandering in the sea were still in shock. Then, the shock turned into fear, and panicked shouts sounded on the ship.
“Has the war started?”
The captain of a cargo ship ran to the bow of the ship with a pale face. He tried his best to look out. He was afraid of the shadow of war, but he could not leave because his family had served the island owner’s family for generations. His wife, children, parents, and family were bound too deeply. Escaping was equivalent to betrayal, and betrayal was the cruelest punishment.
Now that the island’s commercial activities had stopped, his ship continued to carry goods. This time, the mission was to transport goods between the two islands. He had prayed that war would not break out, but the sound of cannons shattered his fantasy.
“Gods…” He looked at Argus Island with a pale face and prayed in his heart,” Please don’t start a war. Please don’t start a war. Merciful gods, please don’t let the war affect my master and my wife and children. I’m willing to pay any price for this…”
“Captain!”
“The Mage Tower Array is not activated!” The first mate who climbed onto the mast shouted.
The captain was stunned for a moment, then his face lit up with joy. The island defense system had not been activated yet! It might just be a simple provocation and demonstration. It’s fine, there’s nothing to be afraid of…”
Before he could finish his sentence, the undercurrent around the ship suddenly exploded. The captain felt a swift figure fly past him. He subconsciously reached out to block, but his speed was still a moment slower. Then, a sharp pain came from his neck. He felt something bite him!
“Ahhhh!”
The pain made the captain scream.
He waved his arms wildly and retreated in pain. The person who screamed tried to pull the creature that bit his neck, but the other party’s hands were slippery. After trying a few times, he could not grab the other party’s body at all!
“Captain!”
When the sailors heard their captain’s scream, they looked over in surprise. They saw their captain stumbling on the deck, waving his arms desperately. On his neck, there was a strange pink creature that was about the length of an arm. It did not look like a fish, or even something from the sea. At least, they had never seen such a thing in their decades of life at sea!
Several sailors immediately rushed towards the captain.
When the captain saw his crew, his eyes flashed with hope. He tried to grab the attacker on his neck in vain as he stumbled towards the crew.
However, after a few steps, his body trembled violently. The strange creature that was coiled around the captain’s neck pulled hard, and blood splattered. The terrifying predator tore off a piece of flesh and swallowed it happily. Then, it raised its head and roared!
His arteries were ruptured, and even his throat was exposed to the air. The captain’s throat was gurgling, and his body was stiff. He swayed on the spot, and his neck was strangely tilted to one side. Blood spurted out like a fountain and splashed into the sea!
“Captain-”
The sailors ‘eyes turned red as they grabbed their knives and rushed towards the monster that had killed their captain. However, at this moment, they saw countless splashes. In the sea in front of the bow, black shadows rose up one after another and jumped onto the deck. They landed on the captain’s ashen face and pressed him to the ground!
Droplets of water splashed everywhere. Strange monsters as thick as arms rushed onto the ship continuously, letting out blood-curdling hisses. They surrounded the captain’s body and crawled around like a group of rats that smelled meat. They covered the captain’s head, neck, chest, abdomen, limbs, and feet, and then opened their mouths to bite desperately!
Skin, flesh, and blood splattered all over the wooden deck. Fear descended upon the sailors ‘hearts as they watched everything in a daze. They watched as the captain struggled in pain and twisted his body stiffly. They watched as the flesh and blood of his body revealed his pale bones. They watched as a monster drilled into the captain’s eye!
“Ahhhh!”
They screamed and retreated, crawling on all fours.
Because the monsters that were circling around the captain’s body were blocked by their companions and could not eat the meat kept turning their heads to look at them, their small and fierce eyes moving.
In an instant, the humans subconsciously understood the meaning of this gaze.
“They can all eat.”
They shouted and fled towards the stern. The monsters at the bow of the ship suddenly screamed. At this moment, water surged from both sides of the ship. Densely packed monsters jumped out from the sea on both sides of the ship and landed on the sailors like raindrops. Then, they opened their terrifying mouthparts and suddenly bit down!
The people who fell into the water, the people who struggled on the deck, the screams, the sounds of flesh being torn apart, the sounds of chewing, the surrounding seawater boiling and surging, and shadows shuttling rapidly under the sea. The predator had arrived!
The docks, ships, and beaches were attacked by terrifying predators almost at the same time. There were many of them, and they could leap from the sea and even travel on land. There were countless of them.
“We are under attack!”
At the pier of Argent Island, the Knight Astolford roared.
Multiple M61A1 Vulcan Cannons and 23mm anti-aircraft cannons from the Schleswig River interweaved into a long river of flames, sweeping back and forth across the nearby waters. Twelve AGS-17 automatic grenade launchers frantically poured high-explosive grenades further away, and 76mm rapid-fire cannons bombarded back and forth. The sea was bloody, and minced meat was rolling. Even though the Afu’s close-range defense system was perfect, these human weapons were not designed for the current situation and battle situation from the beginning!
“There are too many of them!”
This hellish firepower net was enough to crush the charge of any army, but it could not kill all the sea monsters that came from all directions, especially when they rushed up from the bottom of the sea!
Horus didn’t even dare to use a more powerful weapon at close range.
Even if the Afu could barely withstand the shock wave of the high explosion underwater, there were other people on board!
More and more monsters crawled to the deck, sticking close to the hull. The situation underwater was even worse. Countless terrifying monsters waved their claws and tails, crawling all over the lower body of the Afu, biting and tearing at it desperately. The countless monsters torn apart by the bombardment attracted their own kind with the smell of flesh and blood. More and more monsters gathered here!
The ship was already filled with smoke. In the smoke, the fish that had escaped the net kept rushing up to the deck. The saber flashed, and Han Guangcheng was fully focused. He cut a sea monster that was charging at him into two.
Another three monsters attacked from the side, but flames appeared and a circle of fire arcs exploded. Wherever they went, a charred smell filled the air. The monsters roared in pain and fell, their bodies shrinking and twitching.
“Fire and Lightning!” Mei Xizhu said sternly,” Eric!”
The electric currents surged into the water and spread out. However, in the Life Detection Vision, the dense light spots in the water were not affected at all. They still maintained their violent vitality!
“They are immune to electricity! What exactly are these things?”
“Retreat!”
At the bow and stern of the ship, monsters continuously bypassed the firepower defense and rushed onto the ship. However, their figures flashed rapidly, and air waves flew everywhere. Two figures punched out with heavy fists, setting off sound waves, and continuously shattered these ferocious and fast deep-sea monsters. Even if some escaped and bit their bodies, they only shattered their mouthparts.
Because it was a dragon!
The two dragons transformed into human forms and roamed the deck of the warship. The mages supported them with fire spells, but wherever the Life Detection could see, endless monsters surged out from below, attacking and devouring the ship’s crew from afar, attacking the dock on the shore, and hunting pedestrians. It was like purgatory!
“Lord Horus!”
The members of the New Army who lacked long-range attacks had already been driven into the cabin. On the bridge, Han Guangcheng held a walkie-talkie and shouted,”The friendly ship has sent a distress signal!” They’re being held back!”
“I know! Let them hold on!” Horus snapped.” Father will be here soon!”
Faraway Harbor, City Hall.
Kant pushed open the door to the governor’s office. The people who were reporting to Hong San in the office were stunned and bowed in unison. The Skyquaking Dragon waved his hand, and the officials quickly left with their heads lowered.
” Something happened on the Broken Islands,” Kant said simply.
” What?” Hong San’s expression changed.” They attacked first?”
” I’m not sure yet. Horus ‘report said that we were attacked by strange sea creatures. There were a lot of them.” Kant pinched the space between his eyebrows.” I had a feeling that something was going to happen. I didn’t expect it to be this…”
“If it’s the Broken Islands ‘doing, then Far Harbor would most likely be attacked as well.”
“This is the reason why I came to you.”
Kant said,” I’ll leave four missile speedboats at the distant port. They’ll be controlled by the level-two puppets left behind by Horus. Although their intelligence isn’t high, they can still be used. They still have combat power. The Guards and Dragon Mercenaries will also be under your command. You’ll also coordinate with the fleets of the three countries that will stay behind. You have to maintain order.”
“Your Highness, you can go on your own. I’ll take care of the distant harbor.”Hong San nodded.
Kant reminded him,” Horus and I will be focusing most of our efforts on the Broken Islands. Your mission might be more important. If this is a plot by the island masters, there might be chaos in Distant Harbor. Especially since we just transported a lot of people from there.”
He sighed.” We still don’t have enough manpower. We can’t split up. It’ll be very troublesome this time…”
“Don’t worry, Your Highness.”
Hong San said,” We have the dragon mercenaries, the Valentan Guards equipped with advanced weapons, and the assistance of the navies of various countries. Even if the immigrants of the Broken Islands riot, we can completely suppress them. To those people, Your Highness is kind and generous. As Your Highness’s adviser, I have to play another role.”
As he said this, although he smiled, his eyes were already sharp.
” Even without Lord Horus patrolling the sky and monitoring the abnormal movements, I still have other methods. The most suitable method to monitor the abnormal movements is still the eyes around everyone.”
Hong San said softly,” Break up the groups. Order the members of each group to monitor each other. There will be rewards for reporting. Those who are accomplices will be executed. Those who hide and do not report will be executed by the entire group…” There are many ways, it’s just a matter of whether or not to use them.”
Kant was silent for a moment. I’ll get it done as soon as possible.”
“Your Highness, should we gather reinforcements?” Hong San asked just as he was about to leave.
Kant was stunned for a moment. He then shook his head.” The journey to the Broken Archipelago is long. There’s no time…”
“Your Highness, there has to be a first time.”Hong San interrupted him before he could finish.
Kant remained silent while Hong San looked at him quietly.
After a moment, Kant raised his head.” Understood. I’ll go to the Broken Islands to observe the situation and confirm the plan. During this period, I’ll gather the Destruction Squadron and complete the mobilization before the battle. I’ll also select volunteers.”
“Yes.” Hong San said seriously,” But there are no volunteers, Your Highness. Everyone is ready.”
Black light flashed. The Dimension Portal opened and Kant disappeared.
On the Broken Islands, the communication channel was filled with the shouts of the fleet officers of the various countries. The Knight Astolford temporarily blocked the continuous invasion with its powerful firepower, but the underwater part could not be worried. If Fu was like this, let alone the warships of the three countries.
“We need help!”
“They’re everywhere!”
“Personnel injured!”
“Lord Horus, requesting assistance!”
The next moment, a calm voice sounded in the chaotic channel.
” I am Kant.”
All the doubts, requests, curses, and anxious voices were swept away.
The Fire Stealer’s voice was as firm as a rock.
” All ships, report your location and damage, starting with the dynasty’s ships.”
In an instant, the extreme chaos returned to order.
” Your Highness Kant!” a nervous voice said. The fleet belonging to the Fourth Division of the Empire, the White Snow Peak, is here! We are trapped in the waters near Muden Island…”
A total of four battleships reported the situation.
It was already the fifth day of the war notice. The evacuation operation had come to an end. The remaining target population had been placed under house arrest or threatened by the island masters of the Broken Isles. Kant had also judged that war was coming. He had already pulled all the wool out of his wool. Most of the fleets had already retreated back to their homeland.
The four battleships that remained on the Broken Islands, including the Afu, made up a total of five. They stayed there to see if there were any overseas Chinese that had yet to evacuate. They also wanted to continue to annoy the island masters and maintain the political bullying of the Broken Islands. They constantly reminded the people on the island that the dynasty, elves, and council might join forces with Prince Kant to launch a violent attack on the evil and illegal regime of the Broken Islands.
According to Kant’s plan, the last batch of the alliance fleet would slowly withdraw from the territorial waters of the Broken Islands tomorrow. After that, the fleets of the other countries would gather together to carry out the battlefield observation mission.
But now…
Kant looked into the distance from the bridge.
He had already used the Fire Stealer’s power and the Phoenix’s Eyes to check the situation. Killing intent was surging in the Broken Islands ‘sea area. The terrifying threat came from the deep sea below. Before this problem was solved, the voyage was already filled with danger. The creatures on land were just passersby in the sea. These unknown creatures were the masters there.
“I already know about your situation.”
Kant said,” Now, I’ll explain the plan. The sea and the ships are no longer safe. We’ll move to the shore and only leave after we win. Now, I request that the ships actively defend and continue to resist. My two dragons will rise into the air to provide air support to you. The Knight Astolford will set sail immediately and head for the islands in the sea where you are. We’ll carry out the evacuation operation.”
” Before that, I ask each of you to fight with all your might and protect the lives of yourselves and your comrades. The flames of war will temper true warriors, and everything that happened today will be remembered. Other than that…”
He shouted,” If you are still scared, confused, timid, and helpless, then listen carefully. The sound of the horn of the Knight Astolford will spread throughout the sea. This unprecedented war weapon will become your guardian angel. Everyone, have faith in Fu!”
“Now, execute the order!”
“Horus, sound the alarm and activate the high-speed power system!”Kant shouted.
The Skyline-class frigate’s LM-2500+ gas turbine provided a surge of power to the double-shaft, four-bladed propellers. The eight blades that were as sharp as knives whirled, and the terrifying suction force sucked in the surrounding exotic beasts, cutting them into pieces and causing blood to boil!
The ear-piercing air-defense alarm buzzed and spread throughout the entire sea area.
“It’s Ah Fu!”
The main battleships of the various countries scattered across the islands were desperately resisting. The mages spared no effort to activate the magic attack platform at full power to build a fire defense line to stop the monster attack. The situation was extremely bad, and the crew was constantly injured. At this moment, all the sailors who were fighting and uneasy heard the horn in the distance.
They raised their heads in surprise or surprise. The ones who were talking to Kant were all high-ranking officers of the various ships. The soldiers at the bottom of the hierarchy were still unaware of the good news that His Highness Kant had arrived. But now, they knew.
“It’s Ah Fu!”
The nickname came from His Highness Kant’s mouth. It was first learned by the three commanders, and then slowly spread throughout the army. No one had any objections to the nickname. This slightly cute nickname added a little cuteness to the divine warship that was as powerful and cold as the Valkyrie.
She was like a cute girl.
And now, his horn sounded like a war song from the bravest warrior.
“Ah Fu is here!”
The soldiers were excited. Their despair dissipated, and the flames of hope burned.
This Horizon class frigate was called the Knight Astorf. It had shocked the world when it appeared in the Battle of Distant Harbor. It was valued and shocked by the kings of all countries. It was made of steel, had strong firepower, and was extremely fast. It seemed to have no weakness, as if it was a creation of the gods. In the eyes of the three captured navies, this frigate was the same. It was noble and untouchable, like a mystery or a statue. When they talked about her, they only felt admiration, doubt, rumors, and awe.
And now, they were looking forward to it, calling out its name, anticipating its arrival, yearning for its protection. This was the first time, this god-like invincible warship…
It carried the meaning of ‘human’.
The waves were rolling, and strange figures shuttled back and forth. Under the endless killing intent, Fu split the waves and followed all the beautiful imaginations and expectations, moving forward like a valkyrie.
