Chapter 443: War on the Comosa Islands
Who is the woman who comes in?
The representatives of the Comos Biological Research Association looked at Damon Knight, and then found that Damon also had a confused look on his face. Obviously, the woman was not included in the invitation, and the fact that she could enter such an important meeting room without authorization showed that this place had long been infiltrated into a sieve by the other party.
The conference room suddenly became tense, and the guards in the room drew their weapons and pointed them at the woman.
Damon remained calm and asked, "Who are you?"
"I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Theresa Huxon, a descendant of the Hurricane Dukes of the Glory Oath Empire." The one who entered the conference room was Theresa who had just met Helot. She was wearing a blue sharkskin tights. Clothes, hair flowing with the wind. Walking up to Damon, Theresa continued: "She is also one of the candidates for the executioner, now we know each other!"
The existence of the Tormentors is an open secret, and anyone with a high enough status knows what they are doing within the empire.
"Miss Theresa." Damon did not call Theresa by her surname, and obviously did not recognize her as a descendant of Hurricane Duke: "Does the executioner really want to help us hunt down Claude?"
< br>
Theresa said: "We have been trying to get Mr. Claude to join us, but the last time we met he was clearly on Bradley's side. Even if you don't kill him, we will kill him. I and another Candidates can join you in the assault on the Governor's Mansion, so the number of extraordinary third-level people already has an advantage."
Damon was not in a hurry to welcome the executioner: "By killing Helot, we have eliminated the biggest threat for you executioner, so that you can defeat the ruler of the empire more smoothly.
It shouldn’t be too much for the Theocracy to take away half of the islands in the Comosa Islands. ”
Theresa did not expect that Damon would negotiate terms with her under such circumstances, and the lion asked for half of the islands. The torturer prides himself on being the orthodoxy of the empire, and agreeing to this condition would be tantamount to betraying the country.
But now is the best opportunity to use the Mass Theocracy to kill Herot. Once he returns to the empire, it will be difficult to kill him.
At this time, the main members of the Executioners were all in the mainland of the empire, preparing to launch a war of revenge, and it was difficult to mobilize enough power to come to the Comosa Islands.
"Okay!" Theresa weighed the gains and losses. Half of the Comos Islands are worth replacing Claude Lund and his undead army: "I promise you as a candidate for the executioner, as long as this If Claurund is successfully eliminated this time, the Theocracy of the Mass can obtain permanent ownership of half of the Comos Islands.”
Hearing that Damon was talking about ceding half of the Comosa Islands to the Mass Theocracy, the other representatives of the Comosa Biological Research Association suddenly couldn't sit still.
They all expressed their demands for permanent ownership of the island.
Theresa didn't dare to continue cutting the land. She held out two fingers: "Additional two extraordinary level three are enough for this assault on the Governor's Mansion. And there can only be permanent ownership of one island... Of course, if you If you are willing to provide extraordinary level two force, I can sign an island lease agreement with you.”
Five extraordinary third levels already have a great chance of winning, and adding two more is equivalent to two insurances for victory.
So Theresa selected two of the extraordinary third-level genetic mutants provided by the Comos Biological Research Association, and made a treaty with everyone.
Theresa then reported the terms negotiated between herself and the Comos Biological Research Association to the meeting of candidates for the Duke of Tormentors via telegram.
After discussion among all the candidates, the Duke informed Theresa that she could sign the contract.
Cessioning part of the Comosa Islands will not change the current situation of the islands. Based on the extent of the prisoner's penetration into major biopharmaceutical groups, the actual damage will not be too great. And after they capture the entire empire, many treaties can be negotiated...
Killing Helot is the most important thing now.
Moreover, the empire's defeat in the Comosa Islands would directly hit the emperor's majesty and make more nobles come to join him.
A raiding team with seven extraordinary level three as the main force began to form.
Someone else obtained a diagram of the internal structure of the Governor's Palace from Cluny, the former Comosa Islands. A secret escape passage gave the raid a better chance of success.
When the Comos Biological Research Association conspired to carry out a decapitation attack on Helot, after Helot gathered enough undead, he immediately launched an attack on the islands surrounding Sail Island.
The undead that filled the coastline lined up and walked into the sea. Small boats sent by the Imperial Navy guided the underwater undead to the sea floor where they could pass.
At the same time, the eldest prince Stefano led the imperial fleet, the fleet of the Mass Theocracy and the fleet of the Comos Biological Research Association to launch a fierce artillery battle between the islands.
For a time, the roar of cannons continued continuously, and dense water columns were blown up on the calm sea.
The mage ships of both sides are scattered among their own fleets. The towering mage towers continuously shoot various magics into the sky, creating an air barrier for their own warships to detonate the incoming shells in advance. At the same time, some interference mirror magic can also confuse the enemy. Warship observers make it difficult for the enemy to accurately locate one's own warships.
The armed airships in the air are also magic platforms equipped with advanced equipment. They cooperate with the mage ships on the sea to form a three-dimensional magic attack and defense system.
The imperial fleet in a defensive posture formed a sea barrier to protect Sail Island. As long as it backed the island and did not take the initiative to attack, the enemy fleet with a numerical advantage had no good way to deal with this turtle formation.
The eldest prince Stefano stood on the bridge of the flagship, observing the situation of the naval battle through a telescope. From time to time, some tactical instructions were issued to allow the fast warships to launch short counterattacks, so that the enemy warships could not attack with all their strength.
A heavy artillery shell hit the magic barrier in front of the flagship and detonated. The magic barrier was shattered. The powerful shock wave caused the huge hull to vibrate violently. The crew members grabbed hold of fixed objects around them to prevent themselves from being thrown out. .
Stefano stood there steadily and continued to observe the situation on the battlefield.
The adjutant beside him said worriedly: "Governor Claude Claude is not safe on Sail Island. I think the governor should be invited to the ship. The fleet's defense system is more effective than the governor's palace."
Stefano turned to the telescope and looked at the Governor's Palace on the shore.
At this time, the defense system of the Governor's Mansion has been activated, reflecting the bubble-shaped defense cover under the sunlight.
"His Majesty specifically instructed me not to interfere with Claude. And I know what he did in Covenant City. Whatever we can think of, he must also be able to think of it. If he doesn't come to the fleet, he must have his own thoughts.< br>
Has the fleet's staff prepared an evacuation plan in case Governor Claude died unexpectedly? ”
The adjutant replied: "According to your instructions, the retreat plan has been completed. Once we get the exact news of Governor Claude's death, the fleet will break through to the north as quickly as possible. According to deductions, the fleet will lose about one-fifth of its troops." After the battleship, you can escape the pursuit of enemy ships and reach safe waters.”
"I hope this retreat plan will not be implemented." Stefano continued to observe the battle situation: "A defeat will put the empire into an extremely passive situation...Father, do you trust Claude so much? Or is this a gamble on your part? ?”
"Look, the undead have begun to land! In the direction of Rainbow Island!" The adjutant, who had always been calm, shouted excitedly at this moment. Stefano turned to Rainbow Island, and he couldn't help but be moved by the shocking sight he saw in the telescope.
"Is this the war of the undead?"
On the beach of Rainbow Island, a wave washed up. After the water receded, the long coastline was covered with skeletons emerging from the water. The dense white bones formed a new wave and washed up on the beach, and covered the inland like a white curtain.
The nearby warships began to bombard the undead that landed. The mercenaries on the beach hid behind the built bunkers and used guns and artillery to attack the charging skeletons. The magic beam streaked across the sky, turning into thunder and lightning and fireballs falling down.
Large swathes of skeletons were blown up by the explosion, with broken limbs and broken bones flying everywhere.
The asymmetry of weapons turned a landing battle into a one-sided massacre. Advanced weapons and reasonable magic combinations violently brutalized the skeletons who were unable to fight back.
But as a party to the massacre, there was absolutely no sense of pleasure in the massacre at this moment.
Because their attacks have no deterrent effect on the undead, no skeleton takes a step back from this saturation attack. They never stop charging forward until they are shattered to pieces.
On the beach, skeletons kept coming out of the waves, making it hard to tell where the water was, where the skeletons were, and where the gravel was. Continuous and endless...
The mercenaries knew that their ammunition and magic energy were limited, so they could only keep shooting in the face of the approaching skeletons.
An hour later, the bombardment from the warships at sea gradually became sparse, and the ammunition reserves at the beachhead were about to be exhausted in the continuous pouring.
However, the number of skeletons emerging from the sea shows no signs of decreasing.
At the same time, a terrifying knight rode a ghost horse and galloped across the sea.
A piece of magic emerged from the water and flew into the sky, then exploded into colorful magic fireworks. Then, all the skeletons that were moving at an even pace began to accelerate and run together. The undead that subsequently came out of the sea were no longer all skeletons. Those were mercenary-level and hero-level undead that had long been hidden underwater. They had clearly seen the positions and firepower of the defenders. Therefore, when these powerful undead landed, they immediately used magic to cover the exposed defenders with magic.
The defenders' mages could only use up their reserved magic power to engage in magical resistance, once again weakening the defenders' firepower against the skeletons.
The leading skeletons rushed into the beach fortifications built by the defenders after taking some losses.
Hand-to-hand combat begins.
At this time, a large number of skeleton cavalry riding skeleton horses rushed out from the sea. Their bodies burned the moment they came out of the water, and the seawater brought out turned into water vapor, which happened to provide smoke cover for the Burning Cavalry.
The leader of the Burning Cavalry is of course the Horrible Knight Howl. With his body on fire, he rushes to the front, crushing the skeletons blocking the way in front of him with the sea of fire offensive.
When the Burning Cavalry as a new force attacks the interior of the defenders' fortifications, it means that the beach landing will end with the undead's final victory. All the mercenaries who were arranged into the beachhead were wiped out by the fire whips of the Burning Cavalry because they had no time to retreat. This caused the industrial parks on Rainbow Island to face the continuation of this undead army after losing a large number of troops and reserves. attack.
The undead army pushed across Rainbow Island under the command of Howl.
Even if the isolated industrial parks have the best defenses, they cannot escape being knocked down by the undead.
This time the attack on Rainbow Island was launched in the morning. By evening, the undead had completely occupied Rainbow Island.
Howl sent a magic signal in the direction of Sail Island to report victory to Helot.
The news that the undead destroyed all the defenders on Rainbow Island in just one day spread to every corner of the Comosa Islands, and everyone in the industrial park was in danger.
You must know that because of Rainbow Island's unique magical environment, almost all biomedical companies have built industrial parks or research institutes on it. Therefore, the number of mercenaries on the island is the largest among many islands. And because it is close to Sail Island, the Comosa Biological Research Association also has the largest material reserves on the island.
The result that no one expected was that the Clairund family's undead army captured Rainbow Island in just half a day, almost as fast as the undead could walk.
This battle caused all the industrial parks to give up their illusions of confronting the undead army, and those mercenaries who were lucky enough to escape from Rainbow Island were leading a wave of mercenaries to escape. They come to the Comosa Islands to make money, and they know best which money can be earned and which money can be earned or spent.
Only by facing an army of the undead can you understand the kind of pressure you have to endure when facing such an army.
And this undead army doesn't just charge blankly, they also use tactics, and the high-level undead among them are as smart as humans.
One cannot fight a dead army!
This word spread among the mercenaries, causing the mercenaries to flee from the establishment.
The Comos Biological Research Association did not expect that the defense of Rainbow Island would be so vulnerable to the undead of the Claude family, but the Imperial Royal Fleet fought back and forth for a day with its own fleet, which had an absolute advantage in numbers. Not showing a trace of defeat.
What's even more worrying is...the undead of the Clairund family not only captured Rainbow Island, but some undead even rushed onto the battleship from the water. Although these undead were eliminated, the warships were forced to stay away from shallow offshore waters. It would be more difficult to prevent the undead from landing on other islands in the future.
Throughout the night, many people suffered from insomnia.
The Comos Biological Research Association urged Damon to implement the raid plan on the Governor's Palace of Sail Island as soon as possible.
Damon believes that now is not a good time to raid the Governor's Mansion, because the raiding team has just completed its assembly. He wants the members of the Mass Theocracy, the Comos Biological Research Association, and the Executioners to cooperate, and it will take some time to train and adjust.
The Governor's Mansion is not big or small. Once a mistake is made and Claude escapes, there will be no chance to kill him again.
Damon hopes to have a week of training.
But the Comozo Biological Research Association couldn't wait a week.
"Two days, only two days!"
