Chapter 540: Prelude to the war

  Chapter 540 The Prologue of the War

What's wrong?

  The Epidemic Doctor stood in the darkness, at a loss. His memory was a little fuzzy, like a awakened dream. He remembered that he was just on some icy frozen ground and killed with someone.

  Who is it, and why does he appear here?

His consciousness was a little fuzzy, and then in the endless darkness, he saw a little faint light, a burning light spot appeared in front of him, and this light spot was still expanding, along with its expansion, can Hearing the cracking sound of rustling, it was like a glacier cracking.

The epidemic doctor stretched out his hand curiously, trying to touch the light spot, but as the light spot burned, the dense cracks expanded outward with the light spot as the center. They spread all over the dark corners, and the crevices surged. With the same light.

  The sound of collapse became louder and louder, and the entire dark world began to tremble, as if it would completely collapse in the next moment.

  The fissure collapsed. At the same time, the gaze of the epidemic doctor also changed from a dazed sluggish look. He remembered, the dim stars behind him burst out, and he shouted.

   "Holmos!"

  The epidemic doctor calls the devil, and the devil responds.

The sharp blade pierced the burning light spot, tearing the dark night sky completely to pieces. In an instant, the crisp sound of glass breaking continued, and one after another dark and deep fragments began to fall off, and their edges were still burning with fire, and they fell into endlessly below. In the abyss.

  Lorenzo came over the countless fragments. With a raging flame, he broke the barrier of the epidemic doctor and headed towards the burning star behind the epidemic doctor.

The epidemic doctor instantly wanted to understand what was going on. This is a world of nothingness, a world of will. The star behind him is his [Gap], and the dim starry sky has been torn apart by Lorenzo. Once he Invaded his [Gap], he no longer has the ability to fight back.

He did not understand this nihil world, but an incredible desire to survive broke out in the epidemic doctor’s consciousness. He is a guy that is very difficult to kill. If he died so easily, the epidemic doctor would have been hundreds of years old. Died in a terrible operation a while ago.

  The epidemic doctor will not die, at least he will not die until he wins the truth.

Consciousness dominates everything, his body began to deform, and the falling dark fragments were also affected by it. Just like time is going backwards, the dark fragments that should have fallen into the abyss rise again, trying to reconstruct this bleak starry sky and form barrier.

   But everything is too late.

Lorenzo kept the throwing action, the bleak starry sky was reconstructed, and a powerful repulsion pushed him away from the epidemic doctor’s consciousness, but the burning blade in his hand had already spanned a long time. the distance.

  Like a blazing meteor, it crosses the dim starry sky and ignites everything.

  ……

Lingbing Bay was caught in the flames of war, and the rushing figure of the Epidemic Doctor in the darkness suddenly stagnated, as if something interrupted his consciousness, the body of the beast slammed into the ground, and he rolled several times. Circle, even knocked down a few trees.

  Broken branches pierced its body, and there were a large area of ​​abrasions on the body. These are not injuries to the epidemic doctor, but now he is lying in the dark and unable to move.

  Burning, something is burning myself.

  The epidemic doctor can clearly feel the pain caused by the fireworks, but his body is calm, without the slightest flame surging.

  This pain is so real that the epidemic doctor can feel the death of his own flesh and blood. After painfully twisting, it turns into pitch-black coke, collapses into ashes with residual warmth, and dissipates into the world.

  The epidemic medically covered his head, and found the source of the pain.

  This is the fire from his mind, the fire that burns consciousness.

One after another wounds opened on his head, as if they were cut by a sword blade. White gas rose from the wounds. The temperature in the Epidemic Doctor's body was frighteningly high. His heart was beating vigorously. It seems that in the next second, a raging fire will erupt from his body, burning him into a pitch-black empty shell.

   "[Gap] Invasion."

The epidemic doctor panted loudly. He stretched out his hideous palm, digging into the cold snow, stuffing it into his mouth, and burying himself in the cold snowdrift. He tried to cool himself in this way, but this The pain is still so severe.

  This is an injury from consciousness, not a physical body.

  Lorenzo failed to invade his [Gap], but he swung the sword and slashed his consciousness.

The peristalsis of the body began to stop, and the intensity of the erosion dropped sharply. The Epidemic Doctor needed to ease his confused thoughts. He could hear countless words, that was his own voice. Hundreds of Epidemic Doctors were in his ears. Talking about something.

  The bloodshot eyes were full of madness and blur. The stopped flesh and blood slowed the self-healing a lot. A large amount of warm blood poured out of the body and dyed the snow red.

  The epidemic doctor slowly raised his hand and took out something from his chest.

  A copper-yellow key.

  It looks like it has gone through a lot of years, the surface is no longer shiny, covered with scratches and scarlet stains.

  The epidemic doctor held it tightly in his hand, and the messy thoughts gradually calmed down after feeling the coldness of the metal.

  "Truth...Truth..."

  He whispered in a low voice.

  ……

  War, a familiar but unfamiliar vocabulary.

There are always people who say that war is coming and everyone is going to die, but no one knows what war is, and no one has even experienced war personally. Everyone fears and expects to tell this word until one day it’s true. Has arrived.

  The nightmare broke through the vague boundary and came to everyone’s side, making it unclear whether he was in reality or a nightmare that he couldn’t wake up.

  The sound of an explosion that never stopped, the shell fell on the shore of Lingbing Bay, causing heavy fire. After a brief panic, another round of shelling sounded, but this time the sound originated from Lingbing Bay.

  The coastal defense artillery began to operate. Although it is not clear how these iron-clad ships got here over the guard, all that everyone can do now is to counterattack.

  The cannonballs were torn into crimson light tracks, they were intertwined with each other, and they became sharp swords for each other's attack.

  Everyone looked at this sea area in panic, the next moment the rolling firelight melted into a burning spear, which pierced through the night, and hit an iron-clad ship a few seconds later.

The surface of the armor burned red in an instant, and the instant high temperature melted a cavity. The remaining metal penetrated through the cavity and penetrated most of the entire hull. Surge in every gap in the cabin.

  Ascalon launched a counterattack. The shelling caused many people to fall into a short period of peace. They had never thought that there were such weapons in the world, but then their fear was diluted by greed and anger.

The fleet began to advance, and the roar of artillery fire suppressed the shores of Lengbing Bay. The shore defense artillery had a little effect. The artillery shells collected the iron armored ship penetrated by Ascalon, but it has not sunk yet. The fire is raging, but it is still While advancing, even if the hull has begun to enter water, the sinking seems so slow at this moment.

  Advancing, towards the coast, spreading war and nightmares.

   "We can't stay here!"

  Nottal shouted loudly, the roar of the explosion was endless, he roared with all his strength, and he didn't know how many people could hear it.

The current situation is very bad. The Epidemic Doctor’s fleet directly blocked the Chenhui Advance in Lingbing Bay, and they didn’t seem to have any tactics at all. They simply opened fire and vowed to kill everyone here. Same.

   "But Lorenzo and the others haven't come back!" Lan Jade hid behind the bunker, staying with Haibod and Seleucid.

  The howling shells passed overhead and fell into the dock behind, splashing mud and building debris, and countless wailing sounds echoed in it.

   "We can wait! But we can't wait too long. The Chenhui Advance is like a target here!"

  Nottal stumbled back to the command room after speaking. Although he was naked, he didn't care so much anymore. Even the cold was dispelled, and all he was thinking about was the battlefield in front of him.

  The hull agitated, and the boiler room began to operate. They could set sail at all times. With the armor strength of the Chenhui Advance, they were able to resist shelling and protrude from the heavy encirclement.

At this moment, the surrounding sea rolled up, and one after another smaller iron-clad ships appeared on the sea. These were the iron-clad ships stationed in the ice bay. Most of them were hit in the first round of shelling. It is also full of scars, and a small part has begun to sink.

  The roar of the gun sounded, overlapping with the counterattack of the shore defense gun, and confronting the fleet above the sea.

  The next moment the artillery fire was intertwined, and the armors of both sides began to collapse, and there was a looming fire under the dents, and the screams continued, and one could see the shadows falling into the water, the blood stains and the broken limbs remaining on the deck.

  A loud bell rang from the inside of Lingbing Bay. Notar turned his head and looked around. I don’t know who rang the alarm bell, and the long and clear voice spread all over the sea.

  Nottal's hot heart suddenly became cold. He felt the cold. Now he is naked, let alone the cold, even if it freezes to death.

  No...this is not physical cold, but spiritual.

   "What are you in a daze!"

Blue Jade guarded her head, and rushed into the command room amidst the roar of artillery fire. Behind her were Haibod and Seleu. Due to the difference in size, Seleu was directly carried by Haibod and ran. In his words, It runs faster like this.

  Hearing Lan Jade’s call, Notar shuddered, and looked over as if he had just woke up from a big dream.

  Blue Jade also stopped reproaching. She saw Notar's eyes, which were full of fear and confusion.

   "What's wrong." She asked.

   "The war is coming." Notar replied with some trembling.

  War?

For Blue Jade, this is a very familiar vocabulary. She has been on different battlefields all her life, just waiting for the day when she died in the battle. She did not understand Notar's words, and Notar did. Repeated it again.

   "The war is coming, everyone."

  Nottal swallowed, and tremblingly pressed his hand on the steering wheel.

  Blue Jade's expression froze, and suddenly she understood what Notar meant, as did Haibod and Seleu behind them, and even said that the two of them realized that all this was earlier than Blue Jade.

The situation in the Western world today is very clear. There are only three camps. One is the camp headed by Inervig, the other is Galunaro, who is against him, and the Rhine Alliance behind him, and the last is the old religion. The country, they don't have much energy to speak of now. Since the Cathedral of Saint Nalo has remained silent, it has lost this most powerful backbone, and religious countries have lost interest in this war.

  In the final analysis, this is the dispute between Inervig and Gallunaro, but now an unknown fleet has appeared inside the Viking nations, attacking the most important ice bay.

  In terms of the current technology of various countries, except for Gallunaro, it seems that no one can own an iron-clad ship of this size anymore. The answer is obvious.

   "We have become part of mythology, part of history."

The voice sounded, and the Shrike appeared on the deck with Frocky on his back. While talking, he walked towards several people. Behind him, the deputy carried Garon and climbed up the rope. This is an emergency situation. They can only board in this way.

   "Shrike... Where's Lorenzo?" Seleu asked.

  Shrike put Frocky down and responded simply.

  "Set sail! We can't stay here. As for Lorenzo...he will follow."

   "But... I see."

  Seleu wanted to say something, but she directly suppressed herself. As Shrike said, they have become part of the decision history tonight. She is very rational and should be the same.

  Yes, the war is here.

The   Chenhui Advance made a low noise, and it began to move slowly, heading toward the sea facing the artillery fire, and the iron-clad ships garrisoned along with it, and they counterattacked with the coastal defense artillery.

  The sea breeze hits, bringing pungent blood and wailing. You can hear the sound of waves hitting the reef, and you can also hear the faint crying, as if a baby is screaming.

  The ear-piercing and high-frequency alarm sounded, one after another, sweeping through every part of the Chenhui Advance. Several people had received such a message before they woke up from the fear of war.

  Shrike and Lan Jade looked at each other briefly, and he shouted.

   "I'll drive the original sin armor, look at Frocky, he has been corroded, don't let the demon approach him!"

   Before Lan Jade could respond, Shrike left. He moved in a hurry, as if rushing to die.

Haibod picked up the thermal rifle and the jackknife, while Nottal announced the announcement to prepare everyone for battle. Under the dark blue sea, one after another ferocious shadows in iron armor approached quietly. .

  Tonight is no longer the battle between the Epidemic Doctor and Lorenzo for Frocky and the truth. This is a battle of the Viking nations, Inverweg, and Gallunaro.

  A tired figure appeared on the wharf that was turned into ruins. Lorenzo looked at the iron-clad ships caught in the war, and his heart sank to the bottom.

  The worst thing happened. This is not just a battle in Linbing Bay, it will be the prelude to the war.

  The prologue of the World War.
