Chapter 130: 85. Energy explosion again 2
Translator: 549690339
“Heads up, Jarvis, the target ships are coming.”
Corporal Mars was holding a chain of bullets, ready to reload for Noland Lee at any time.
He pointed at the fifth boat from the end in the fleet.
The Imperial Army would divide these six ships into three groups.
Their first killer, is the mines buried beneath the river surface.
“Honk-I‘ The leading warship noticed the missing watchtower and sounded a loud horn.
At the same time, Lieutenant Slyke Thompson gestured and gave the order:
“Detonate!”
Upon receiving the order from their superior officer, the soldiers pressed the detonators in front of them without hesitation.
In an instant, several water pillars rising to the ceiling erupted on the long river surface.
“Boom, boom, boom…”
A series of explosions echoed throughout the underground space, creating huge waves on the river surface.
When the mines detonated, the force of the explosion stirred the river water, tore apart the riverbanks, and caused the river to pour back onto the shore.
The river’s flowing speed became unstable, and the riverbed was blasted into deep and shallow craters.
The giant leg bones at the bottom of the undead ships could not escape the explosion.
The chaotic water flow pulled their joints, making them unstable, and accidentally stepped into the craters created by the mines, losing their balance.
These giant leg bones were connected to the cabins, and once they were pulled, the ships began to tilt and collapse.
“Boom, boom, boom, …”
Several more explosions erupted from the underground river, but this time it was not the Empire setting off mines, but the ships losing control and crashing ashore.
The ship’s hull crushed the weak riverbank and fell towards the ground.
A clattering noise of rolling objects sounded inside the cargo hold as numerous death magic stones collided with the walls.
Some walls were particularly weak and broke open when they could no longer bear the weight of the tons of death element stones.
The death element stones rolled out of the broken walls, falling onto the riverbank or into the smelly river water.
All these earth-shattering events happened in just 20 seconds.
When the undead creatures on board started to counterattack, all six undead ships had already run aground at the shore.
“Fire! Fire! Annihilate these filthy scum!”
Lieutenant Slyke Thompson roared and was the first to pull the trigger on his light machine gun.
At that moment, the underground riverside was covered with 270 streams of fire!
Each stream of bullets corresponded to a light machine gun!
In just a second, the hulls of all the undead ships were full of bullet holes!
The undead fleet didn’t even have time to activate its magic protective cover!
The appearance of numerous bullet holes undoubtedly destroyed the undead runes on the ships’ hull.
The rotting, decaying ship’s bodies, which should have long been destroyed by nature’s power, finally came to their end.
As the runes were destroyed, the rotten wood on the ships quickly withered, turned into black mud, and fell into the river.
Rusty nails fell as iron filings, turning into black sand and sinking to the bottom of the river.
Whether it is the death element stones, the gruesome grave-vault undead soldiers, or the ghostly crew, they all lost their “lives” as their decaying bodies sunk into the water, pierced by the torrent of bullets.
Only undead monks and death priests who possessed extraordinary powers could survive the sinking of the ships.
But all they had left was a path to death.
Cavern evil spiders, the intermediate undead forces that once drove Noland Lee to flee in panic, could only endure three seconds under the concentrated fire of the cannonball giants before being blown to pieces and sinking into the water.
The frost skeleton mage drawing water from the river to create a wall of filthy ice around it could only hold on for two more seconds.
In just 0.1 second, after the bullets penetrated the ice wall, its skeletal body, skull, and everything else vanished in the howling bullet storm—except for its magic heart.
Could ethereal undead creatures that are immune to physical attacks find this feature useful in this battle?
NO!
All ethereal undead troops received “special treatment” from the Empire’s side.
Bullets loaded with liquid explosives, lightning bullets that exploded upon impact, and honey syrup bullets filled with biochemical nectar.
These much more expensive specialized bullets, whether effective or not, were all directed at the ethereal undead forces.
Ghostly crews lasted half a second.
Ghostly first mates and captains lasted two seconds.
Wailing banshees with disheveled hair lasted three seconds.
Death skeleton mages wearing cloaks and wielding scythes, protected by a “magic shield” survived only five seconds.
Lieutenant Slyke Thompson, transformed into a molten steel giant, burned the heads of several intermediate undead creatures with a lava ray from his abdominal furnace.
The cannonball giant’s cannon was unstoppable.
The powerful cannonball specifically used to attack magic protection shields easily obliterated the undead extraordinary when aimed at them.
When the last undead creature fell, the area above the underground river was filled with gun smoke and dust, and the echoes of countless guns lingered in the underground space for a long time.
This was a battle where gunfire triumphed over the undead.
The Empire’s side deployed over 200 light machine guns, millions of conventional bullets, hundreds of thousands of special bullets, and at least 300 honey syrup bombs.
The participating forces included ten companies of the Vidas Army, about 3000 ordinary soldiers, and at least 40 extraordinary army members..
