53: Chapter 53 Main Ship, Provide Support!
The Crew Members on the shallows were almost completely wiped out.
Even worse, the flaming boulders smashed through the trees along the way.
The boulders knocked the burning trunks onto the edge of the shallows.
For a moment, flames erupted everywhere.
Only the Crew Members who had pushed the front line further forward escaped the disaster.
Isolated and without help, they were quickly swarmed and beaten to death.
At this moment, the general cannon was back in position, about to fire its second round.
If it were allowed another round, the shallows would be completely set ablaze, and the next wave of reinforcing Crew Members would be instantly burned to death.
"Get out of the way!"
A cold light flashed in Lairuilei's beautiful eyes.
Taking a moment to aim, she released a Powerful Strike.
It tore a hole right through the middle of the Savage Army.
After firing this arrow, her whole body trembled, and her face instantly turned deathly pale.
Feeling distressed, Chen Fan pulled her behind him and looked her over carefully.
"Enough! Without my permission, you aren't allowed to act again, understand?"
Lairuilei bit her lip and nodded gently.
Although Chen Fan's tone was stern, the concern in his eyes made her heart warm.
"Mhm~"
Her obedient appearance made Chen Fan want to dote on her even more.
But now was not the time for such thoughts.
Turning to look at the light screen, his eyebrows shot up.
Powerful Strike was indeed the bane of cumbersome units; with one arrow, the massive general cannon was split apart.
Although it hadn't completely fallen apart, it clearly wouldn't be usable for a while.
Even worse, the flaming boulders prepared earlier lost their support and scattered.
They burned the surrounding Savage Army, making them wail like ghosts and howl like wolves.
After much chaos, a savage who looked like a general shouted out commands.
Having found their backbone, the Savage Army abandoned the general cannon and advanced with their full force.
At this time, the flames on the shallows had not yet gone out, and the Crew Members who had just arrived as reinforcements instantly perished in the sea of fire.
Vase: "What should we do? Our troop types can't keep up."
speechless ship: "Looking at the situation, we might have to evacuate first."
Demon: "Waaaah, my level seven quest!"
long time ship: "As long as the green mountains remain, there's no fear of lacking firewood. Let's retreat first; the island isn't going anywhere anyway."
Samo: "Damn savage islanders, next time, Arrogant female pronoun will blow up this crappy island of yours!"
Vase: "@china, what does Brother Fan say? Should we retreat?"
"Retreat?"
Chen Fan chuckled, "Retreating is impossible. It's impossible to retreat in this lifetime."
As he spoke.
Waves rose on the sea again as the pitch-black ghost ship sailed out from a whirlpool.
Just as it stopped, Kuka, inside the cockpit, swung his blade and roared:
"Fire!!!"
"Boom! Boom!"
Two massive roars rang out.
Explosion shells were hurled high by the cannons, landing accurately around the fastest-charging Savage Infantry.
With a "Bang."
The Explosion shells burst.
Under the force of the massive impact, fragments filled the sky, scattering in all directions from the center of the Explosion.
The flames on the shallows were instantly extinguished by the Hurricane, leaving a reinforcement path for the Crew Members.
Countless front-line savages were torn apart, wailing as they fell and could not get back up.
But the savages in the rear didn't know what had happened; their eyes were still bloodshot as they pushed and shoved their way forward.
Batches of savages were tripped, and another stampede occurred on the shallows.
Before they could readjust, the cannons fired a volley.
This time, they aimed at the rear of the savage formation.
That was exactly where the Archers were gathered.
"Awooo—"
The Savage General sensed something was wrong and immediately ordered the Archers to disperse.
But the units were too densely packed, which became the fuse for their total annihilation.
For a moment, the Archers, unable to evacuate, could only watch helplessly as the Explosion shells landed in the middle of the crowd.
"Rumble—"
"Rumble—"
Two loud Explosions, accompanied by bursting fragments, splashed out.
As rear-line units, these Archers were not equipped with armor.
The battle robes they wore were merely slightly thicker pieces of cloth.
For a time, the sound of sharp objects piercing skin rose from all sides.
Those close by were even directly dismembered!
Cries of terror and calls for help rose one after another.
An even more serious stampede inevitably occurred.
No matter how the general commanded, the chaos could not be stopped.
The chaos in the rear did not reach the front camp.
After clearing the corpses from the path, the Savage Infantry pressed forward again.
The leading Squad Leader was covered in filthy blood, with even a few pieces of shredded meat hanging off him.
His eyes were bloodshot, and he looked with bloodthirsty eyes at the few Sailors landing on the shore.
"Ayaya—"
Beside him, a Young Savage General growled through gritted teeth and charged out.
However, he was grabbed by the Squad Leader and thrown to the back of the line.
"Kill!!!"
The Squad Leader roared, using the only word he knew.
Behind him, countless Savage Infantry immediately responded.
"Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The Savage Infantry instantly overwhelmed the few Sailors who had rushed up.
Immediately after.
Rumble—
Several loud Explosions flipped over swaths of savages.
Blood mixed with shredded meat flew through the air.
It turned out that these Sailors had a massive amount of explosives strapped to them!
These explosive reserves were what the ghost ship had on board when Chen Fan first seized it.
They hadn't had a chance to use them until now.
Unexpectedly, in this situation, the explosives became the means to turn the tide.
"Continue!"
Kuka waved his broadsword, and another ten Sailors, carrying explosives, rushed into the savage formation.
"Rumble—"
"Rumble—"
"..."
Explosions rang out repeatedly; the ten Sailors, along with countless savages, were blown to pieces.
All the front-line savages were killed!
The savages following behind immediately understood the situation.
Without any hesitation, they gritted their teeth and pressed forward again with their blades and spears.
"Rumble—"
The tragic war played out once more.
In front of the screen.
The Five Women looked at the severed limbs and minced meat scattered across the shallows and couldn't help but tremble.
Seeing the scene before him, Chen Fan nodded slightly.
A few more rounds, and the enemy's charging momentum would be halted.
As the saying goes, the first drum roll inspires courage, the second diminishes it, and the third exhausts it.
As long as the first wave of the charge was blocked, the subsequent difficulty would be greatly reduced.
However, at that moment, continuous bugle calls sounded from deep within the savage formation.
The ground shook and mountains swayed as thick dust spread from the edge of their vision.
When the dust cleared, The Five Women froze simultaneously, their hearts hanging in suspense once again.
Chen Fan gritted his teeth, looking at the distance with a solemn gaze.
There, five even more massive general cannons were being slowly pushed forward.
Following them were several rows of Heavy Infantry holding giant shields.
And a dense crowd of Archers.
Just as the atmosphere was becoming heavy.
[Ding!]
[Upgrade successful.]
[Current Level: Medium patrol boat.]
Chen Fan's body shook, and he immediately opened the system interface.
After observing for a moment, the corners of his mouth gradually curled up.
"It seems I have to get serious now."
"Paltry savages, how laughable!"
"Main ship, support!"
