Admiral in the Azure World

Chapter 36 Artillery fire dyed the sky red

When the sun fully rose, Cycad Island gradually became lively.

The sound of the mountain being struck flows along the winding river to the ears of every Cycad Islander.The heat from the iron furnace seemed to raise the temperature of the entire island by several degrees.

Shiploads of coal were brought in by ships and docked on the west coast of Cycad Island.The workers unloaded the ship's cargo in a hurry.

boom!
A muffled sound came from what seemed like an extremely distant place.

Which company's boiler exploded?
Everyone thought subconsciously.

Immediately afterwards, a whistle-like sound came, and the sound got closer and sharper.

boom!
A white water column was seen tearing apart the calm sea surface, and huge waves caused nearby ships to sway violently.This was a shelling from the east. The shells crossed the entire Cycad Island and fell directly into the sea on the west side of the Cycad Island.

Enemy attack!

Many people reacted, but before they could run away, another shell fell from the sky a few minutes later.This time, Cycad Island was not so lucky.

The shells landed directly on the island.

As the ammunition exploded, the entire island shook slightly. The workers whose hearing was disturbed by the noise also noticed something abnormal. They put down their work one after another and asked the nearby workers in confusion.

A few minutes later, another shell hit Cycad Island with a roar.The continuous shelling finally made these dull people realize the danger. They ran out of the mines and factories in panic and headed towards the bunker on Cycad Island under the command of the squad leader.

The shelling continued, and the impact point slowly approached the east coast of Cycad Island.

The huge shock wave generated by the explosion left craters with a radius of nearly 30 meters at the impact point of the shells, and the vehicles and buildings along the way were instantly torn into pieces.

Hema rushed down the watchtower in panic. Until now, he still didn't find any mirage within his sight range.

The enemy actually launched artillery fire on Cycad Island from outside the visual range!

This is an ability that only "cod" level mirages have!But there has never been a "cod" level mirage in the west wind drift!
Hema felt that he was well-informed. He had sunk most of the mirages in the West Wind Drift, but the highest-level mirage he had ever seen was a black shadow that looked like a "hairtail fish"!
Although in official federal propaganda, the West Wind Drift is a mirage force second only to the Cape Horn Front, but for frontline deacons like them, the strength the West Wind Drift Front has shown so far is only reflected in their numbers. .

The moment he jumped off the watchtower, Hema looked into the distance and finally saw a blurry black figure at the end of his sight.

At that moment, a cannonball accurately landed on the edge of the watchtower.

The huge shock wave blew He Ma's whole body away. If it weren't for Hai Qiaoxing's protection, Su Tiedao would have lost a sea soul master with just one shot.

A gust of wind passed by the horrified Hema's ears, and a purple-red Flying Ranger flew straight to the sky.

It’s Haimanxing!

Dante didn't go straight to bed after his morning shift, distracted by the worries in his mind.

Unexpectedly, the worst thing happened!
"Are you okay!" Dante ran over in single clothes.

Hema knocked on his head and shook the dust out of his ears.His vision was still a little blurry, and the buzzing in his ears made it difficult for him to think.

He opened his hazy eyes and vaguely saw the ruins of the watchtower.

Enemy attack!

He finally came to his senses.

At the same time, the rangers of Haimanxing finally brought first-hand information about the mirage.

"This is...!" Hai Manxing finally woke up with a sleepy face.what did she see !

It was a mirage that filled half of her field of vision!They are fully armed and marching towards Cycad Island in neat rows!
She saw several "hairtail fish" accompanying the team!
At the front of the team was something she had only seen on the map, the ultimate firepower of ordinary mirage - "Cod".

However, time did not allow Haimanxing to be at a loss, so she immediately reported the information to Dante.They must fight back before Cycad Island is within range of most mirages!
Hai Manxing immediately told Hai Qiaoxing the location information.

After obtaining the precise location, Hai Qiaoxing deployed its weapons, and two huge triple main guns appeared behind Hai Qiaoxing. This is the longest-range main gun among the Federation's known series of sea souls, with a range of nearly 40 kilometers.

Since such a range has exceeded the range of sight of most watchtowers, Hai Qiaoxing's shelling with the longest range is often in a state of blind fire.

Even so, under the correction of the watchtower, she also set a federal record for the longest span of 30 kilometers.

And once Haiqiaoxing's investigation data is available, Haimanxing finally doesn't need to be in blind vision, so these two sea souls will often appear together, forming the farthest strike range known to the Federation.

boom!boom!boom!
Haiqiaoxing's barrel twitched violently, and the shells roared and flew out of the barrel.

The cannonball drew an elegant arc in the air, and finally fell towards the sea where the Mirage troops were located under the influence of gravity.

Immediately, they saw several rising water jets.

Hai Qiaoxing kept moving, adjusting the angle of the main gun before the water column fell completely.

Another volley.

Dante and Homa's ears have completely lost their function, and they can no longer hear any sound except the buzzing tinnitus and the constant sound of ear cannons.

Hai Qiaoxing's calibration quickly brought results. Although Hema hadn't seen the enemy yet, his military merit on Hai Wu had already jumped up.

"What's wrong! What's wrong?" At this time, Proust was belatedly arriving with Haigangxing. This illegitimate son of the Kenner family completely disgraced the face of Tulip Governor Milton Kenner. It's okay to eat and be lazy, and the current performance is completely inconsistent with the performance that a person who has received higher education from the Federal Deacon Academy should have.

His face was pale, his legs were dangling, and his teeth were chattering as he spoke.Even his sea soul Haigang Xing showed a look of disdain.

Dante took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and described the current situation in extremely brief and very fast words.

"Ah! More than 200 mirages!" Proust took a step back, subconsciously trying to escape.

"Shame!" Hema mocked, covering her ears.

"You!" Proust was just about to attack when a cannonball landed not far away from him. Although Haigangxing blocked most of the impact, the sound of the explosion still made the illegitimate son squat in fear. on the ground.

With the arrival of this shell, the mirage troops officially appeared on the horizon, and they were approaching Cycad Island at a very fast speed.

The momentum is fierce and it is imperative.

Now is not the time to be angry.Haigangxing and Haimanxing opened their arms.

They must consume as many mirages as possible before Cycad Island enters the range of the "Herring" and "Flounder".

The girls' cannons kept firing.

While Homem was arguing with Proust, Dante had already opened the sea fog and sent a message for help to all around.

I hope the governor can send reinforcements as soon as possible.

Dante thought so, he raised his head and looked at the mirage troops advancing in the distance against the sea soul artillery fire, and a trace of doubt arose in his heart:
How on earth did Jialan Island find this group of mirages at such a long distance?
