Chapter 66 It’s spinning
The position prepared by Viola's army on the beach was actually just a defense line piled with barrels and boxes and other debris, and no trenches were dug.
On the one hand, the time is too short and the conditions do not allow it. On the other hand, the war in their world has not yet developed to such advanced tactics as digging trenches.
This kind of bunker fortification on the ground is mainly used to protect some arrows, prevent the enemy's landing troops from rushing directly to the shore, and slow down their progress to give the crossbowmen more opportunities to output.
But when it comes to artillery washing the ground, it will be all in vain, and the people and fortifications will be fired directly for you.
Viola realized this, so she ordered to abandon the position and retreat.
The order was quickly passed down and executed. Not far away, on the edge of a cliff with higher terrain and better visibility, Aldai was still looking at the sea with calm eyes.
Even if the flash of light just swept by, she didn't have much reaction. Even if the nearest explosion point was less than fifty meters away from her, she just shook off the dust and branches from her hair and continued to look like a stone. looking at the sea.
Since it was difficult to transmit messages at night, Viola's army used light signals to issue orders.
Xue La came up here to send a return signal to the reconnaissance ship on the sea. When the explosion came, she was so frightened that she crouched in defense with her head in her hands.
After the explosion subsided, Xila saw the light signal below the hillside and said hurriedly:
"Miss Aldai, His Highness told us to retreat."
"I'm not leaving yet, don't worry about me."
"But……"
"I will follow if necessary."
Sheila didn't know how valuable the so-called 'high-level mage' was, but she always listened to Zola's advice, so Sheila felt that maybe Aldai would be fine if she left on her own.
So she rushed down the hillside to meet the large army.
Aldai, who was left behind, not only did not retreat, but took two steps forward and stood on the edge of the cliff.
Her silver-blue pupils looked at the bright electric light on the sea in the distance again, seeming thoughtful.
"Such a huge amount of magic power... has the magic cluster cannon finally been successfully contained?"
She knew the weapon and even the man who made it.
The prototype of this magic cannon has many flaws, and no matter how improved it is, the flaws such as high cost, high energy consumption, and large heat dissipation requirements cannot be made up for.
Alday predicts that it will only be able to play three rounds at most, and even the second one will be reluctant.
But who knows how many such cannons were installed on that fleet?
Viola was right to ask the soldiers to retreat. This kind of firepower was not something that the army could resist. Once it hit, it would cause a lot of casualties.
But that doesn’t mean there aren’t solutions.
Aldai stared at the sea, her fingers changing gestures one after another, and she murmured obscure spells in her mouth. A gentle wind lifted her up and slightly suspended her from the ground.
She is preparing to cast a powerful strategic magic, which may not necessarily destroy an entire fleet, but it can also cause heavy damage.
"Huh? What is that?"
But during the preparation stage of the spell, a bright red light suddenly shot down from above the dark clouds.
"It's not magic power, nor the power I know, but a bright light of that scale... what exactly does it use as energy?"
The light penetrates the sky and the earth and is projected on the sea on one side of the fleet. The huge beam of light is so big that it can't even fit within the field of vision, as if it is supporting a person's upper and lower eyelids.
Of course Viola, who was directing the soldiers to retreat, also saw this red beam of light, and there seemed to be a voice in her heart telling her.
The Demon King God has taken action.
–‐‐——–‐‐——
The red beam also caused panic among the sailors on the fleet. Many people ran around on the deck, as if asking if anyone knew what was going on.
The huge red light beam moved slowly on the sea surface, and the word "slow" is actually not accurate. It was too big. From a distance, it seemed to be moving slowly, but in fact it was moving quickly at a speed that the human eye could barely keep up with. Arrive at the center of the fleet.
Immediately afterwards, the red beam of light spread out without warning, like a large stain stuck to the glass. The scattered light spots clearly illuminated the fleet shrouded in darkness, and the entire sea area was illuminated by the red light. It looked like it was burning, and at first glance, it looked like a hell in a horrific fantasy.
Without waiting for any reaction from the fleet, the spreading light began to shrink.
The scattered light spot rotated at a constant speed in a clockwise direction. The blurred light spot seemed to become clearer every second, until two or three seconds later, the light spot suddenly turned into a huge circle. Because it was so big, everyone on board could only see part of the edge, but Alday on the shore could see it clearly.
The round thing looked like some kind of huge and complex magic circle.
At this time, the fleet finally responded. Many ships sent out light signals, and the entire fleet turned left at full speed, trying to escape from the area covered by the light.
But when it comes, it accelerates with the wind. When turning, it is not just about turning the rudder. The sailor also has to adjust the direction of the sail.
However, the deck was already crowded with soldiers preparing to land in small boats. The sailors struggled to move through the crowd, which caused the fleet to fail to turn in time.
In an instant, the huge red light suddenly disappeared, as if it had never appeared before. The soldiers on the deck thought they were hallucinating.
However, anyone who knows some common sense about magic knows that when the magic circle suddenly disappears, it is not the end, but that it has been activated.
The next second the light disappeared, lightning and thunder continued in the sky overhead, and the roaring thunder seemed to tear the entire sky apart.
Aldai, who was using enhanced vision spells to observe the sea surface, clearly saw some kind of huge shadow descending from the sky filled with lightning.
It is something whose details cannot be clearly seen. Occasionally, you can see a slender part compared to the sky, like some kind of huge metal object like a mountain, but it has a fairly large hollow and relatively few solid parts.
It fell from the sky and plunged into the sea.
Then……
Then it started spinning!
The seawater surged like a boil, forming a terrifying whirlpool that was clearly visible to the naked eye.
The ship that was involved was shattered by something invisible almost instantly, and there was no time to jump into the sea to escape.
More and more ships were involved, and the ship that had just tried to fire the magic cannon was also sucked in, and the beam that had completed charging was fired again.
But this time, nothing worked.
It was obviously a loud explosion that could be heard even at the beach, but it floated away softly like smoke touching a solid object.
A word immediately popped into Alday's mind.
Demon King God.
That power is unrivaled in the mortal world, and no one can resist it. Even the most cutting-edge magic technology is as fragile as a child's arm in front of it.
The strong wind hit the coastal tidal flats a little later. Some of the retreating soldiers were simply knocked to the ground, and their ears were filled with the terrifying whistling wind.
Viola noticed that the water on the beach was receding, like a low tide, but it was too fast.
"Quick! Get behind the hillside!"
Many soldiers also noticed this, and they quickly got up one by one, and ran towards the back of the hillside, as if they were being chased and bitten by vicious dogs.
The huge whirlpool on the sea continued for almost twenty seconds before the thing that fell from the sky rose into the sky again.
Just when people thought it was over, a huge arm that seemed to be able to hold up the sky and the earth fell from above the clouds. The hand seemed to be wearing a special bright yellow glove that looked like a leather product, but no one could imagine it. We can figure out how big an animal must be to contribute fur on such a terrifying scale.
The palm of his hand was smashed into the sea water with a bang, just like a playful child stirring the water in a tub with his hands. His arms were groping left and right, and even 'small' movements such as shaking his hands could be seen.
This also defeated the rotating whirlpool, and the sea water rose instantly. In people's eyes, the splashing waves almost touched the dark clouds.
Immediately afterwards, a terrible tsunami rushed in, flooding the shore positions in an instant. Even hiding behind the high hillsides, a large amount of sea water still came over, covering Viola and her soldiers. .
However, the harm of the tsunami only ends here and does not go any further.
Viola immediately led the people back up the hillside, and the huge arm that stirred in the sea water finally took back the Dark Cloud Supreme with satisfaction.
"What a terrifying power this is...!"
Wendy, who was following Viola, said she was scared, but her face was flushed and she seemed very excited.
She can now understand why Reina became a believer after seeing the Demon King himself take action. The power has a fatal attraction like magic, and anyone who sees it will have the idea of worshiping him.
The soldiers who followed also noticed this scene. They followed Viola and knelt down on one knee, praying toward the sky.
On the hillside, Aldai looked at the arm that was retracted toward the sky, and patted the dust on her clothes. Although she still looked expressionless, her eyes were full of rowing...
