The air support from the "Stormhorn" immediately alleviated the crisis faced by the "Bastion".

Everyone from Major General Coverdale to the ordinary soldiers with smoky faces breathed a sigh of relief.

but.

At this time, the battle at the estuary was far from over.

This was because the two large species, the "Iron-Armored Seahorse" and the "Ghost Shrimp", which were responsible for blocking the sea surface, were still swimming on the sea surface near the estuary. They even neighed and started to turn after seeing the failure of their companions' attack.

puff!

Click!

Even if the "bastion", the last nail guarding the entrance to the sea, has been saved, even if Huggins' army of sea monsters is really stranded on the river bed where the tide has receded, as the major general expected.

But as long as these two large species are still there, Huggins, who has withdrawn from the upper reaches of the Leiden River, will be able to retreat calmly.

only.

The target of the two sea monsters now is not the "bastion" that is half disabled and looks like it will fall if you blow it.

It was Solomon and his fourth-level battleship "Royal Guard" who arrived from the other side of the "Stormhorn" who had already attacked first!

Obviously, it is easier for them to solve the problem with warships at sea than with fortresses on land.

However, the image of the returning "Royal Guard" at this time was really strange.

Except for the long golden flag of the Kingdom of Taylor flying high on the mainmast, all the sails on the battleship have been completely lowered.

But the entire battleship's hull was slightly above the water, and it drew a long waterline as if flying!

If you look carefully, you can see that in the seawater below the bow of the ship, a huge seal that is translucent and seems to be made entirely of seawater is poking its head.

The sea dog composed of sea water surrounds the "Royal Guard" with water strips extending from its body, turning every ounce of power in the surrounding waves into a surging driving force for the battleship to move forward.

Solomon’s familiar: Zepes.

The demon species is a water elemental creature that looks like a large seal, with a body length of more than 20 meters. It is also a dependent of Baipa, one of the top seventy-two demon gods recorded in Solomon's Golden Book.

The demon god Baipa, whose rank is Duke in the lower realm, is an intelligent mermaid in the form of a monster, possessing various extraordinary abilities corresponding to navigation.

It is this ability that affects his followers, making them excellent assistants to ships during navigation. Even without any other abilities, just by virtue of this speed boost, he is already a "god-level" familiar.

Besides, as a water elemental monster living in the lower realm, how can it be weak in combat power?

It is precisely because of such a powerful familiar that the "Royal Guard", which is obviously farther from the sea entrance than the "Storm Horn", can return faster than the "Storm Horn"!

If Solomon hadn't always had a game mentality when killing pirates, he would have killed the pirates to the point where they cried for father and mother. Because once he got into his sight, it would be impossible to escape.

However, apparently facing such a grand "welcome ceremony" just near the entrance to the sea really shocked Solomon.

You must know that when the "Song of the Siren" was tested in "Newport".

Facing a "large-scale sea-breeding devil", for the sake of safety, the military dispatched a luxurious lineup of one first-class ship and three second-class ships.

Although it was a super-large sea monster with a total length of over 240 meters, it already had half a foot in the ranks of giant species.

Now let the "Royal Guard", a fourth-level ship, face two large species with an average body length of 70 meters alone. Even if it has a lot of cards, it is simply too long to live.

Moreover, seeing that the bastion was already half in ruins, there was no hope at all.

Solomon gave the order decisively.

"Everyone is on combat readiness! The guns are loaded! Target: two large sea monsters. Free fire, fire!"

Before the two large species launched an encirclement, the "Royal Guard" had already taken the lead in launching an attack.

"What's going on? When did this guy who has always been sneaky and playful become so active? Challenge two large species at once?"

Dozens of kilometers away, Ai saw this scene clearly through the seabird's vision.

I had just expressed admiration for Solomon's sense of responsibility at the critical moment, and then I realized that I was still too young.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The scattered battleship salvo barely hit a single hit.

However, the roar of the artillery fire successfully interrupted the two large species' attempts to block the battleship in the middle, and they pursued them from behind side by side...

"Sepes! Head northwest and move forward at full speed!"

Then, Ai saw the speed of the "Royal Guard" increased by another level, rushing towards him at full speed.

"Bertram, you bastard!"

Even with the help of the "Monsoon Goddess on the bow of the ship", the "Storm Horn" received a full 30 speed bonus, and it would still take about two hours to reach the estuary.

Based on the current distance and relative speed between the two, it is expected that they will meet in just over 20 minutes!

This guy didn't even think about being the hero who could turn the tide. He used his might to directly kill the remaining two large species, clearly intending to drag the "Storm Horn" into the water to fight two against two.

Maybe he still has plans to avenge his last attack.

It’s really hard to change one’s nature!

Behind the chasing two sea monsters, after experiencing a round of "justice from heaven", the "water cannon humpback whale" has resurfaced, but it looks really miserable, with broken fins and no skin, even the big head is wrapped

A very conspicuous crack appeared on the stiff carapace.

The most important thing is that the bone "barrel" protruding diagonally from the top of the head has been completely broken, and it can no longer fire any shells except spraying water.

Tread! Tread! Tread!

Facing this last enemy, the general couldn't continue to cower. He drew his sword and drew a long white line on the sea, and rushed towards it.

anyway.

The clarion call for the counterattack at the estuary finally sounded.

Facing the Pirate King who has an army of sea monsters under his command, the five-headed sea monsters are just a fraction. Even if they try their best to wipe out all these sea monsters, they will not actually affect the key battle situation on the Pirate King's side.

But as long as they defend their defense zone and prevent the sea monsters left here from having the opportunity to wreak havoc along the coast, they will be worthy of the military medals on their shoulders.

Besides.

"Even if you die, let Huggins leave a piece of flesh!"

This is the last moment of stubbornness for the native officers and soldiers led by Major General Coverdale and born in Sri Lanka!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

In the Golden Lion City, four "Giant Hammer Mantis Shrimp" are doing the work of the demolition team. Although the splendid "Netherlands Banking Group" headquarters may cost dozens or hundreds of times that of the estuary bastion, it is still strong.

But it's a million miles away.

Even the "bastion" can't withstand the hammer blow of the "mantis shrimp", let alone such an ordinary building?

And it is a professional demolition team composed of four "mantis shrimps"!

In just a few minutes, the tall spire, ribbed vaults, flying buttresses, expensive transparent glass windows, and the entire six-story "Bank Group Headquarters Building" had been completely razed to the ground!

In the middle of the ruins, there is a stepped annular pit made entirely of granite. At the bottom of the pit is a pure steel mechanical door with a total weight of more than two hundred tons.

At this time, the gate that had been installed here since the underground vault was built was exposed to the outside world for the first time.

Because of the magical effect of alchemy, the door from a hundred and twenty years ago still shines with the sheen of extremely cold steel even now.

Solid, reliable and unshakable!

Moreover, this place has obviously entered the highest level of alert and is completely locked from the inside.

Unless all 16 banking group directors with authority are present, it will be possible to jointly open the door.

However, for Huggins, the scene at this time has been rehearsed countless times in his mind. How could a mere door stop him?

Boom! Boom!

As Didong Mountain shook, four "Giant Hammer Mantis Shrimps" retreated one after another, while two "Earthquake Two-Headed Turtles" and four "Earth-bellied Basilisks" had already caught up.

Moo!

hiss!

They were divided into two groups to the southwest and northeast of the gate, each formed a circle and started digging holes!

Each group of two "earth-bellied snake lizards" intersects head to tail in opposite directions, one on the outside and one on the inside, forming a circle, while the "earthquake two-headed turtle" stands outside the circle.

The "Earth-bellied Basilisk" can easily turn rocks into muddy water, while the "Earthquake Two-Headed Turtle" can accurately destroy underground rock structures. With the cooperation of the two, muddy water immediately surges out of the enclosed circle, which is faster than any modern drilling rig.

The equipment must be efficient!

Wow!

Soon, two potholes with a diameter of about ten meters gradually appeared.

The so-called alchemical formula that can turn rocks as hard as steel does not pose much hindrance to the sea monsters' natural abilities.

This is because they deliberately controlled the intensity in order to prevent the underground vault from completely collapsing.

Because what Huggins wants is the valuable collection inside, not the destruction of the large vault.

Even so.

With the work efficiency of these six giant beasts, it might not even take twenty minutes to completely open the first floor of the vault located 15 meters underground!

Huggins stood in the middle of a group of giant beasts with his hands behind his hands. He raised his head and glanced at the splendid "cathedral" not far away. It was also the only force that could hinder him now and murmured to himself:
Chapter completed!
