My players are so fierce.

Chapter 1275 1273. Anniversary Celebration: Villains who smell delicious food are never late

"Why did the black tide of murlocs suddenly appear outside the Gray Trench? Why didn't the scouts sent out by the mermaids discover them in advance? It was an army of nearly 200,000 murlocs, with a filthy sea dragon infected body as the vanguard.

How could such a big noise be ignored by them, who are also marine creatures?

Could it be that because the victory of the Beast Castle is so imminent, even the merman sentinels who should have been vigilant have begun to relax in advance? What kind of friendly forces are we partnering with? "

In the command room of Murphy's Hammer, Master Qin was incredibly angry after receiving the urgent intelligence. As an excellent commander, he rarely made such harsh comments on friendly forces when the war was progressing, but he had no choice but to do so because the timing of this murloc raid was so damn annoying.

At this moment, the Beast Castle had just been breached, and the players and mermaids were scattered across the city fighting street battles with those stubborn resisters.

They had no way to quickly assemble to deal with the assault army of murlocs. If things went wrong, both the players and the mermaid vanguard would be trapped and killed in the Beast Castle. The players were not afraid of death, but if the mermaid vanguard was destroyed here, then the victory they had just won would immediately turn into unspeakable bitterness.

Therefore, Lao Qin had to think of a way to buy some time for the players and mermaids in the Beast Castle to withdraw and reorganize their defenses in case something went wrong with the friendly forces.

Fortunately, the General Staff is not there to just sit there and do nothing. They have already had a plan for this kind of emergency.

"Master Qin, the ten airships have completed the replacement of the gold-burning accelerated depth charges, and the power armor knights are also ready for battle! We are about to arrive above the Evil Beast Fortress, and we can carry out bombing operations to stop the enemy at any time!"

Domestic 003 rushed into the command room and reported loudly to Lao Qin:
"Please give the order!"

"It's already this late, why are we still going through the motions? Arrive over the target and start dropping bombs immediately!"

Lao Qin waved his hand fiercely and ordered without hesitation:
"Drop all the depth charges in the area between the southernmost end of the Gray Trench and the Beast Fort, and use firepower to slow down the fishmen's advance as much as possible. Send orders to the Qing Dynasty veteran commanding the underwater front, and have him organize the several 500-man regiments resting outside, and first rely on the destroyed strongholds around the Beast Fort to combine with the Sons of Tristana to form a temporary defense line!
The General Staff immediately contacted every commander of the 500-man regiment who could quickly evacuate the Beast Castle!

Issue instructions to them and use the map marking function of the World Network to guide them into their respective combat areas, so as to form a defense line as quickly as possible to prepare for the impact of the black tide.

Finally, let the mermaids retreat immediately!

Leave the priests behind to provide spell support, and the Tide Warriors go to the flanks to block the road leading to the main area of ​​the Gray Trench. We must not let the murlocs take back the trench. The next melee is bound to be bloody, and I don't want to waste the lives of these natives in such a war."

"Yes!"

Lao Qin's orders were implemented one by one by the staff officers with strong execution ability. With the help of the stable operation of the World Network, the players who were still fighting in the street battles in the Beast Castle received the latest battle reports.

When the players learned that a murloc army of at least 200,000 was advancing towards the Beast Castle, they did not show any fear or cowardice. On the contrary, these guys quickly escaped from the street fighting like wolf cubs.

This is also the most interesting part of the "map" of the underwater world, where the spatial orientation is three-dimensional.

Players don't need to go back along the original route to break out. They can easily escape the terrible interior area of ​​the Beast Castle by just pushing their feet upwards, and then quickly go outside the city from the upper space to participate in the defense line deployment.

When the Taipal Regiment, which was resting in the periphery, was urgently gathering outside the city, as some knights exclaimed, he looked up and saw balls of fire suddenly lit up in the filthy sea ahead, which was very similar to the strange brightness of a meteor shower that suddenly lit up in the pitch-black night. However, a closer look could tell that it was clearly the scene of a large number of depth charges dropped from above the sea exploding intensively.

The bright fire that exploded in the water illuminated the dark sea water in front, as if it made the sea water boil, and also allowed the warriors to see the crazy scene of the Dagon fishmen roaring out of the water like a swarm of crucian carp crossing the river. They formed a dense formation in the wide water area and rushed forward like a school of fish. The firelight reflected by the dead fish eyes of those fishmen was so weird that even an old warrior like Taipal who had been in many battles could not help but hold the weapon in his hand.

The mermaid sisters who followed the warriors to form a defense line here had rarely seen such a terrifying black tide of fishmen. Some timid recruits had already covered their eyes. However, under the scolding of the Giant Pan priest and the severe whipping of the tidal veterans and commanders, these timid recruits took up their weapons again.

Behind them was the border of the Great Reef Province.

They have no way to retreat, and they cannot retreat!

"The power armor knights are coming down!"

Marcus, the Bloody Holy Spear beside Taipal, shouted, causing the knights to look up, just in time to see ten power armors equipped with underwater combat modules piercing into the seabed like torpedoes from the sea surface. Amid the flashing fire caused by the continuous explosion of depth charges, these epic combat units were finally deployed to the battlefield where they should be. Although this scene was not as exciting as seeing the power armor airborne on land, seeing the undisputed "Lord of War" among the current players appear on the battlefield still greatly boosted the morale of the players.

What's more, the powerful power armor knights are born to fight in such a dangerous environment and buy precious time for other brothers. Five consecutive batches of power armor knights have airdropped fifty war machines, which is also the number of armored vanguards currently in Qin Ye's hands.

Originally, they could have thrown behind heavy units like the Dragoons, but unfortunately, the old Flywheel side had not been able to figure out the Dragoons' underwater combat mode, so this time in the underwater battle, the iconic Dragoon heavy tank did not make an appearance.

But it doesn’t matter, fifty power armor knights are actually enough.

They took root in the falling sea area. The deep-sea bombs that kept exploding above forced the fishmen to move to the bottom of the sea, but they were blocked by the bloodthirsty war pioneers. They relied on the plasma cannons and underwater combat torpedo launchers carried on their backs and shoulders to tilt their firepower, and picked up the power heavy swords or battle axes made in the Port of Origin to go forward and kill.

The individual strength of these murlocs can beat ten elite players, not to mention these terrifying power armor knights. The fifty knights guarding here are like a steel wall, almost blocking the murloc's route from the bottom of the sea. However, no matter how many depth charges there are, they cannot withstand the attack of the murloc's black tide. Soon, Taipal and his knights had to face the dark mass of Dagon murlocs in the open area.

They are not afraid of challenges.

They decided to fight to the death!

At the same time, ten armed airships, led by the "Murphy's Hammer", had descended to the sea level and lined up in a row, pouring depth charges into the sea.

This kind of tactic was very dangerous in this scenario. Airships had very poor resistance to extreme climates, and the fish people were very good at summoning storms. Almost at the same time as the front line was bombed, the Dagon cult priests in the rear began to stir up storms on the sea.

There were merman priests guarding Lord Qin's airship, but faced with such a sweeping storm, the few merman priests could only try their best to stabilize the airship's ascent in the increasingly violent wind and waves.

"Master Qin! We have to take off!"

After ten minutes of stalemate, Captain Serakfinda's roar rang in Qin Ye's ears. He shouted:
"The merman priests have reached their limit in maintaining the stability of the airship. If we continue like this, we will be swept into the storm! Now we must climb to a safe altitude before the storm blows up. More than half of the depth charges have been dropped, and the power armor knights are in place. Our blocking mission has been completed."

"I have the final say on whether it's done or not. Don't panic! Keep blasting!"

Lao Qin had the demeanor of a great general. In the command room of the airship that was constantly shaking due to the storm, his tiger eyes were fixed on the real-time changing seabed map in front of him.

According to the arrangement of the light spots on it, Master Qin can judge that seven teams of 500 people have entered the blocking position, and four teams of 500 people composed of new recruits are also supporting the front line from the middle of the gray trench. It is said that the mermaids have also mobilized a large army to support the front line, but there are still six teams of 500 people remaining in the Evil Beast Castle that have not yet withdrawn.

They still need some time, and Qin Ye knows that the longer the airship takes to drop depth charges, the more support the submarine front will get. As for the risk of the airship crashing,
Well, there is indeed such a risk, but the soldiers on the front line are fighting so bravely, how can he, as the commander in the rear, retreat in the face of the enemy?
Not to mention that ten airships crashed here, as long as we can defeat this wave of black tide of fishmen and maintain the victory of the first day's battle, more losses can be tolerated.

"Hold on! Serak, don't let this damn airship keep shaking. I'm going to vomit."

Master Qin shouted to the captain during the communication: "Drop all the depth charges and torpedoes as soon as possible! Bomb the places where there are many fishermen! Serak, given the current situation, even if we crash, we have to wait until all the bombs are dropped!"

Captain Serak Fenda was silent for a few seconds, then replied in a firm tone:
"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

"boom"

Just a few minutes later, when the storm was blowing more violently, several shells fired from a distance suddenly exploded in the sea below the airship, hitting the Black Tide Fishmen rolling and provocative on the water, causing blood and flesh to fly everywhere, and also splashing streams of water.

It's like a "signal" that was sent out intentionally.

This strange movement immediately attracted Serakfinda's attention. He turned the periscope to look at the defense line where the shells were coming from. At the edge of the stormy ocean covered by the gray sea fog raised by the murlocs, he could vaguely see a dark warship slowly entering against the storm.

"The Plunder?"

Serak Fenda said in surprise:
"What is Commodore Pablo doing here with his own ship at this time? I know it's a ghost ship, but one ship alone can't save the situation."

"Sir! It's not just one ship. Look! There's a fleet following the Plunder! Oh my god, that's the Blood Terror Fleet! The legendary Blood Terror Pirate Fleet is here."

Serac's native halfling first mate screamed, causing the captain to immediately look at the periscope again.

Sure enough, just as the Plunder tore through the storm and entered the dark and wandering sea, the huge fleet following behind it also revealed its true appearance. Their ships were large and small, and basically all were tattered, but they all flew the scarlet skull flag of the Blood Fear Pirates, and there were all kinds of scums roaring loudly and waving messy weapons against the raging storm.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

It looks wild and wild.

Serak Fenda counted and found that there were at least 40 pirate warships following the flagship of the Plunder! Perhaps this force was not enough in front of the navy of the Callum Empire, but it was definitely a force that could shake regional forces like the Storm Sea.

"Hey, foreign heroes! Sailing in such a terrible storm must have scared you landlubbers, right?"

A moment later, Brigadier General Pablo's teasing voice sounded over the communication. He said carelessly:
"I'm here on orders. Please tell my great Governor Murphy that his Commodore did not disappoint him! I have a lot of reputation in the pirate community, and my brothers are very supportive. When they heard about fishing, they all got excited. Everyone hopes to contribute to the cause of the great Queen Atlan and Governor Hood.

Your powerful airship simply cannot continue to fight in a storm of this magnitude. Take my advice and take off to a safe altitude quickly!

The rest of the naval battle is left to us.

We specially replenished enough depth charges and halfling incendiary gold torpedoes from Shardor Port.

Of course, although I don't seek fame or fortune, my old brothers all need to eat. In addition to some visionary ones who are willing to follow me to join the Transian Navy, the rest of the guys hope to get a trade charter issued by Governor Hood after the war.
They hope to get a share of the maritime trade between the Great Reef Province and the Red Earth Province.

I know it's a bit mercenary to make such a request at this time, but there's nothing I can do about it, that's how rough pirates are."

"But I'm only the captain."

Serakfinda sighed and said:

"I can't promise you anything if you tell me this."

"Well, I'm not saying this to you, honorable Captain Fenda, General Qin, are you listening?"

Pablo whispered:

"I know you can talk to both sides, so please help me be a middleman. These old sea dogs who are willing to follow me are all planning to change their ways and retire. I am trying to persuade them to contribute to Transia's maritime trade, but if I don't satisfy their desires, don't expect them to work well."

"I agreed!"

Lao Qin's voice then rang out, and he said:

“Bring your fleet to support the underwater operations on the sea surface, Commodore Pablo. After the war, I will act as a diplomatic middleman for both parties.

In addition, the honorable Prince Bai of the Callum Empire and Ms. Bijuka, the former Pope of the Atlan Kingdom, are here. If you can perform well in this war of order against chaos, not only will you be able to obtain the trade charter of the Great Reef Province, but you may even be able to obtain the royal charter personally signed by the legendary Supreme Dragon Emperor and the Queen of Atlan.

Moreover, I heard that the barbarians who refused to submit to the king on the southern border islands of the Callum Empire have been in unrest recently. Perhaps Prince Qingli of the Southern Territory also hopes to obtain a black glove fleet that is ruthless and obedient to do things for the empire that are inconvenient for the official to do.

Look, Pablo, the golden thigh that your brothers long for is right in front of them. Whether they can hold it depends on their performance at this time.

You know the rules.

You have to get what you want yourself.”

"Ha, they will be delighted."

Pablo said with satisfaction:

"This condition is much more generous than those I proposed. Being favored by a distinguished figure like Prince Bai is a favor that these old sea dogs will never be able to ask for in their lifetimes. Don't worry, sir. In this battle, we will be one of the most loyal land-based partners of the mermaid sisters. When it comes to dealing with the fishmen...
Oh, I'm not bragging, but there's probably no one more professional than us Blood Fear Pirates on this sea.

Get airborne now.

When Dagon's dark storm really blows, it will be too late for you to leave."

"Lift off!"

Mr. Qin gave the order without delay, and the armed airships, led by Murphy's Hammer, began to climb rapidly.

The storm at this time had reached a very dangerous level, but the Blood Fear Pirates were probably already accustomed to sailing in such a harsh environment. In the rapidly climbing airship, Master Qin saw through the periscope that the pirates had begun a life-and-death battle with the fishmen rushing out from the water.

He shook his head and said:
"In this damn world, even the most lawless pirates have to choose sides. From the perspective of uniting all the forces that can be united. Tsk, this can be considered a good thing."
