Chapter 178: Hex City’s a.s.sault s.h.i.+p? Dragged Into the Water?
“Wolf King Bomb!”
“Star-moon Blade!”
Lin Tian gathered energy cannons with both hands. The battle was about to begin. Bi Linyu and Lin Tian turned into streaks of light and rushed out at almost the same time. They were both agility-type armored envoys, so they naturally had to rush to the front. w.a.n.g Mo raised the staff in his hand, a layer of golden light enveloped everyone.
Countless energy cannons bombarded these hooks, and a violent explosion resounded in the air. The murlocs on the ground also rushed towards Lin Tian and the others. Almost in an instant, all the mercenaries were caught in the middle of the battle. Twenty to thirty thousand murlocs directly entered the battle circle.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
Lin Tian’s two energy blades collided with the trident. The two or three murlocs and Lin Tian’s energy blades separated after colliding. The moment Lin Tian separated, he equipped the quasi-gold leg armor on his body, after the white threads covered his body, Lin Tian once again condensed his energy bomb.
The moment the moon patterns on his body lit up, a terrifying energy poured into the two murlocs. Following an explosion, the two murlocs were directly turned into ashes.
[ Ding… ]
[ Ding… ]
The system window lit up. Lin Tian gathered his energy bombs and energy blades to harvest the murlocs in front of him. There were too many murlocs, but when he worked together with Bi Linyu and the others, they were able to kill the murlocs very quickly. However, their team was still small. There were nearly three thousand people around them, and there were even more murlocs.
The murloc on the magical beast’s back had already hooked a dozen mercenaries and pulled them into the water. Some of them were able to block the hooks. However, some of them were accidentally hooked by the hooks. Just as everyone thought that these people who fell into the water could not be saved, a black shadow was approaching from the distant coastline.
“Boom!”
“Boom! Boom!”
A black cannonball flew over from afar and fell from the sky onto the surface of the water. The murlocs riding on the magical beasts were blasted away, and the surface of the sea began to shake. Lin Tian’s energy blade killed another murloc once again. He saw the movement on the sea and looked over curiously.
[ Ding… ]
He ignored the system’s pop-up window and only saw that the black shadows were approaching. When the black shadows came over, everyone saw that there was actually a black s.h.i.+p. Its structure was not much different from an ordinary s.h.i.+p. However, the entire body was bright black. It was obvious that it was made of special materials.
At the same time, these s.h.i.+ps were also loaded with many heavy cannons, and each s.h.i.+p was piloted by a person. These s.h.i.+ps moved very fast. Finally, they arrived in front of Lin Tian and the others. Then, the s.h.i.+ps directly rammed into the murlocs riding on the magical beast. They actually wanted to clash head-on with them.
“These are the a.s.sault s.h.i.+ps of Hex City Base. They were made for the naval battles!”
Zhang Wei held a huge earthen-yellow s.h.i.+eld in both hands. After knocking five or six murlocs into the air, he spoke loudly to them. For the sake of the sea defense line, the surrounding bases have made a lot of countermeasures. And because the sea defense line of Hex City Base is the most active, they didn’t just produce a large number of armored weapons to deal with the Sea Monster Empire. They even had wars.h.i.+ps.
These s.h.i.+ps were used to deal with the disturbances at sea.
Lin Tian had a look of realization on his face. Just as he was curious if such a s.h.i.+p could really pose a threat to the magical beast, these a.s.sault s.h.i.+ps sent the murlocs in front of him flying. Then, beams of blue light shot out from the s.h.i.+ps. After forming a light blue protective barrier, they began to dock on the sh.o.r.e.
“Everyone, get on the a.s.sault s.h.i.+p and prepare for battle at sea!”
It was unknown who shouted out first, but the other mercenaries and soldiers all ran towards the a.s.sault s.h.i.+p.
“Let’s go too!” Lin Tian said to his teammates. They nodded and the few of them also headed towards the a.s.sault s.h.i.+ps. The surrounding murlocs would not let them get on the a.s.sault s.h.i.+ps so easily. Instead, the murlocs continuously attacked these mercenaries, and more and more murlocs surrounded them. These murlocs had already filled the entire surface of the sea, and their numbers were still increasing.
Originally, there were only 20,000 to 30,000 murlocs. However, it had increased to over 50,000 to 60,000 murlocs. But after mercenaries to enter the a.s.sault s.h.i.+ps, everything changed. A few cannon muzzles popped out from the a.s.sault s.h.i.+ps.
“Boom!”
“Boom! Boom!”
These cannon muzzles shot out tons of cannonb.a.l.l.s at the murlocs, killing all the murlocs that wanted to harm the mercenaries. These cannonb.a.l.l.s were different from ordinary cannonb.a.l.l.s. After so many years of research, these cannonb.a.l.l.s were made to specially deal with magical beasts.
These cannonb.a.l.l.s. .h.i.t the magical beast’s body. After a huge explosion, they continued to corrode the magical beast’s body. More and more mercenaries and soldiers entered the a.s.sault s.h.i.+ps, Bi Linyu and the rest also arrived in front of the a.s.sault s.h.i.+p.
Lin Tian first let w.a.n.g Mo and the rest enter the a.s.sault s.h.i.+p. He was the last to board the s.h.i.+p. The rest had basically all entered the a.s.sault s.h.i.+p. More and more murlocs surrounded him. He frowned slightly. Countless energy cannons and energy blades shot towards Lin Tian. Lin Tian gathered the energy cannons and the energy blades to meet the attack.
“Lin Tian, come up quickly!”
Zhou Yi, Bi Linyu and the others looked anxiously at Lin Tian below. At the same time, Bi Linyu, Zhou Yi and the others gathered the energy cannons to help Lin Tian. The surrounding magical beast instantly evaporated, and hundreds of magical beasts turned into ashes in the next moment. Bi Linyu and the others thought that Lin Tian could board the s.h.i.+p safely.
At this moment, an accident happened.
Lin Tian’s ears twitched. He sensed danger. His ability to hear sounds and locate the enemies allowed him to notice the danger around him. However, it was useless. The target of these murlocs was Lin Tian. Right now, only Lin Tian was still under the s.h.i.+p. Almost instantly, countless hooks flew over.
“Lin Tian, be careful!”
Bi Linyu and the others panicked and shouted.
However, it was already too late.
Lin Tian was instantly pulled into the water by five or six hooks.
“Plop!”
The murlocs reacted quickly. In an instant, Lin Tian was in the water. When the murlocs saw that their prey had taken the bait, they jumped up and pounced on Lin Tian, not giving him any chance to react.
“Lin Tian!”
“Lin Tian!”
Zhou Yi, Bi Linyu and the others’ eyes were about to pop out of their sockets. Their eyes were bloodshot. If Zhang Wei and Zhou Yi had not been stopped by someone, they would have jumped down long ago.
The sea splashed with waves.
