55: Chapter 55 135mm Naval Gun

long time ship: "Watch out!"

Vase: "Brother Fan, retreat quickly. It's going to break!"

Demon: "Run fast, or we won't have the money to repair the warship and won't be able to go back!"

"..."

The Five Women watched the sky full of Fire Rain, their hearts leaping into their throats.

With china's 80-meter hull, taking this wave head-on would likely result in over 30 hits.

By then, it would be truly difficult to clean up the mess.

For such a large warship, the materials required for repairs alone would be massive.

However, Chen Fan only smiled slightly and gave Captain Chris a look.

Chris nodded and lightly pressed the button in front of him with his right hand.

[Junior Energy Shield, Activated!]

A curtain of light rose from the deck, enveloping the entire ship within it.

In the next moment, dozens of giant flaming boulders came whistling down.

[Energy Shield under attack, durability decreasing.]

[90/100.]

[80/100.]

[Defense complete.]

[Please repair the energy shield as soon as possible. Resources required: energy focusing crystal x10.]

Despite being hit by nearly 50 giant boulders, it had only lost 20 energy points.

However, hearing the materials needed to repair the energy shield, Chen Fan still sucked in a breath of cold air.

"Damn it, it would have been better if the warship itself took damage. At least repairing the warship only requires basic resources."

His heart ached at the cost, but Chen Fan knew he had to use the shield for this strike.

Putting aside the shortage of gold coins and steel, he needed to have an understanding of the energy shield's strength.

He shook his head gloomily, and his gaze toward the savages on the shallows became fierce.

"How dare you cause me such a big loss. Go die!"

"Fire!"

Chen Fan suddenly waved his hand.

The Gatling barrels, which had already cooled down, began spitting blue flames again.

The Sailors worked in groups of five, clearly divided in their tasks, rapidly firing the ship's ballistae.

In an instant.

The shallows became a living hell.

Large groups of savages fell in despair under the fire of the Gatlings and ballistae.

"Awoooo—"

A Savage General, brandishing a long spear in his hand, took the lead in the charge.

However, in the next moment, he was skewered by a four-meter-long ballista bolt.

His footsteps faltered for a moment before his entire body, carried by momentum, collapsed to the ground.

The death of the general only served to further inspire the Savage Soldiers.

The surrounding savages froze for a second, and then an even more crimson light erupted in their eyes.

Looking at the china warship spanning the sea not far away, they gritted their teeth, low growls squeezed from their throats.

Under their influence, more and more Savage Soldiers began to growl low.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Using the only human language they knew, they conveyed their determination to never retreat even in death.

Accompanied by the growing roars, countless savages rushed forward frantically.

One minute later.

Even with deliberate attempts to save ammunition, the Gatlings stopped firing.

It couldn't be helped; Chen Fan had only allocated 2,000 rounds to each of them.

At the Gatling's rate of fire, that was only enough for two minutes.

Without the suppressive fire, relying solely on the ship's ballistae was far from enough.

More and more savages broke through the shallows and swam toward china.

Perhaps they didn't want to hit their own people, or perhaps they were startled by the energy shield.

Those five general cannons were not reloaded again.

The corners of Chen Fan's mouth curled up slightly.

Watching the savages swimming with all their might, he raised his arm slightly.

Waiting until more and more savages had jumped into the sea.

Chen Fan's right hand suddenly swung down.

"Bull Shark, go!"

As the words fell.

The Bull Sharks lurking in the depths became frenzied.

They rushed toward the savages in the water, biting frantically.

The surface of the sea was instantly dyed red with blood.

"Awoo—"

Seeing this, a Savage General on the shore immediately shouted commands.

With a leader to guide them, the savages began a life-for-life strategy.

While being bitten, they endured the intense pain and fiercely stabbed their weapons into the Bull Sharks' bodies.

Furthermore, seeing their compatriots being torn apart further aroused their bloodthirsty nature.

After a period of fighting, the casualty ratio actually reached a terrifying 2 to 1.

In other words, even in the unfamiliar seawater, two savages could trade their lives for one shark.

The general standing on the shore shouted frantically for his warriors.

Whenever one was killed by a ballista bolt, another general would immediately hide behind a large tree and continue shouting commands.

"Tsk tsk tsk, these savages have some skill."

Chen Fan couldn't help but click his tongue, replenishing the recalled Bull Sharks once again.

The greatest advantage of warship support was that there was no delay in replenishing Crew Members.

If those in front died, they were directly replenished from the back.

A continuous stream of Bull Sharks wore down the savages' combat power.

The crimson seawater attracted a large number of fish to the area.

Perhaps because they were of the same kind, these fish did not attack the Bull Sharks.

Some were scavenging the corpses on the sea surface, while others joined the front line to bite the savages.

The smell of blood enveloped the entire shallows, making the savages gag.

At the same time, it also eroded their will to fight.

A Savage General keenly sensed this.

He pushed aside the soldiers with large shields in front of him and ran frantically toward the shallows.

"Awoooo—"

With a roar, under the watchful eyes of everyone, he leaped forcefully into the sea and slashed a Bull Shark to death.

Just as he was about to kill the next one, three Bull Sharks under Chen Fan's control instantly bit through his throat.

The moment before he stopped breathing, his pupils dilated, and he swung his blade fiercely in front of him.

Another Bull Shark was killed by him.

This general actually killed two Bull Sharks single-handedly!

"Woo—"

A military horn sounded from the rear.

The savages on the shallows and in the sea were all startled, instinctively wanting to retreat.

But looking at the corpse of their fallen general, they gritted their teeth and raised their weapons to kill again.

This horn blast was the notification that the general cannons were about to fire.

Normally, upon hearing the horn, all front-line soldiers would rapidly evacuate to avoid being caught in the crossfire.

But at this moment, these savages only wanted to drag the enemy in front of them into the abyss together.

"Boom boom boom—"

Five roars rang out.

Chen Fan narrowed his eyes slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he still activated the energy shield.

The current situation was still unclear; letting the warship take damage was an extremely unwise move.

[Energy Shield under attack, durability decreasing.]

[70/100.]

[60/100.]

[Defense complete.]

[Please repair the energy shield as soon as possible. Resources required: energy focusing crystal x20.]

Another round of bombardment had consumed another 10 energy focusing crystals.

Chen Fan gritted his teeth and looked at the Single-barrel Naval Gun on the deck.

"I can't afford to keep wasting resources. Let's end this."

"I hope you don't let me down."

With an order, the 3 shells provided by the upgrade were instantly in place.

The 135mm Caliber Single-barrel Naval Gun began to rotate.

Clicking sounds rang out continuously as the thick barrel pointed toward the shallows.

The dark muzzle aimed at the general cannon right in the center.

Seeing this scene, both The Five Women and the savages held their breath, their pupils dilating.

"Fire!"

"Bang—"

A massive flame erupted from the muzzle.
