Chapter 263: How much power can the evil god withstand?
The water finally reached the foot of Castres Cathedral and then began to recede.
The concrete walls of the cathedral are excessively thick, with the part near the furnace even reaching six meters in thickness. These were not originally intended to be used, but were just extra considerations.
As a result, it was this thick wall that saved Castel.
The sudden rise of the sea water and the monster were beyond everyone's expectations. The outer fortifications were designed according to the intensity of human warfare, and the standard was only to withstand bullets and explosions. No one had ever imagined that there would be a head-on collision with a monster several stories high.
The result was that the outer fortresses were unable to withstand the massive siege of the sea urchins and fell one after another. If the order to retreat had not been issued in a timely manner, the casualties would have been disastrous.
But when they reached the cathedral, people had nowhere to retreat and could only rely on the heavy roof of the fortress.
Fortunately, I managed to hold on.
The Skitarii guarding the fortress hid inside the fortress. A large number of explosive packs and targets for ignition were laid on the ground outside. The Skitarii checked the position of the sea urchin monster, and then shot the prepared fuel on it to detonate the explosive packs.
The effect was quite good, and it successfully delayed the attack of the monster army without the Banshee throwing explosives.
The sea urchin monsters were unable to withstand the impact and finally stopped in front of the thick concrete walls of the cathedral.
They charged and collided repeatedly, breaking the spines of the sea urchins. The reinforced concrete remained motionless, and finally holes were knocked out in several walls. The short fishmen came in and engaged in another offensive and defensive battle with the Crusaders in the fortress.
The Crusaders fought tenaciously with them on every line of defense and finally held out until reinforcements arrived.
The Banshee joins the fight! Monica's vitality is like the ocean, almost endless.
Knowing this, the heavily armored banshees organized an attack like a tidal wave. They charged forward - killed, and then retreated, leaving the next wave of charging banshees to take over the battle.
The fishmen in the fortress were quickly cleared out.
After using fossils to turn into mud to quickly seal the gap, the banshees reached the top of the fortress again.
Alexi organized the Crusaders to continuously carry explosive packs upwards, while the banshees used their strength far beyond that of mortals to throw them downwards.
There aren't many banshees, but they throw at an incredibly fast speed - each banshee's six hands can work independently without interfering with each other.
Soon, the explosions outside became continuous.
When Zeus entered the aerial perspective to check, he was shocked. The simple and rough hand-thrown explosives were actually blown up by the banshees to produce the effect of a barrage of bullets.
The battle line has been stabilized.
At this moment, Monica finally arrived near Castel and began to use the power of Poseidon to make the sea recede.
After the sea water receded, the irresistible deep-sea monsters returned to their land form.
The battle instantly became one-sided.
The roar of the heavy machine guns was deafening, and for the first time, the monsters fell faster than they surged up.
Not to mention the banshees, Alexi even organized the Crusaders to launch several waves of charges - actions that soon came to an awkward halt.
Their running speed was not as fast as the Banshees' killing speed, and they could not catch up with the counterattack of the front line.
The Crusaders stood among the corpses on the ground, looking at the devastated cathedral, and their numb expressions finally showed some spirit.
They held on, Castel, it didn't sink! Kyle followed the crowd. He was one of the first to rush out of the fortress. He had just been on the front line resisting the fishmen. He stared blankly at everything in front of him. His ears, which were numbed by the shock, gradually heard the sound and cheered loudly with the crowd.
The soldiers hugged each other, tears and smiles appeared on the same face.
They were just workers, islanders, teachers, and researchers, but they took up guns to defend their homes.
They survived and they held on to their homes.
The banshees in the distance stopped chasing, and the monsters had already fled into the sea.
They turned around and looked at the Crusaders in the distance, their faces also moved.
Those mortals were weak and tiny, and could only serve as auxiliary in most cases, but they still went to the battlefield and fought monsters they could not defeat.
They are equally heroic.
Even Ash stopped and rarely gave any orders, but let the banshees just look into the distance and whisper to each other.
The sun gradually set and the evening breeze blew across the battlefield.
They are the winners, so just enjoy this moment of leisure.
"We successfully held on." Xius put his hands on the table, looking at the sea level getting lower and lower, and the monsters that were constantly retreating.
"Fortunately, I have accomplished my mission."
Alexei stood not far behind, with dark circles under his eyes.
The intensity of the battle increased too quickly this time, and the Crusaders did not have enough grassroots commanders, so Alexi had to take on the task himself. The long period of uninterrupted fighting made him physically and mentally exhausted, and only at this moment did he reveal a relaxed smile.
Finally held it.
No one knows how much pressure Alexei is under. He is involved in the entire process from front-line command to logistics dispatch. This originally somewhat immature young man has transformed into an excellent commander.
The Crusaders played a pivotal role in this battle. Their bravery and tenacity even impressed the Banshees.
"But now is not the time to celebrate. What do you think about the Pirate King's Court?"
"There are two plans, sir." Alexi said without hesitation. After listening to the story of the Church of Poseidon, he began to plan how to deal with the pirate king entrenched in Gem Bay.
He spread out a map on the table. "First, the simplest way is to use airships to bomb directly. I think the main reason for Miss Chloe's failure last time was that the bomb was not powerful enough. This time, we can use a bigger bomb and we will definitely be able to successfully eliminate the Pirate King."
After listening to Alexei's plan, Xius couldn't help but look up at him.
How come there are so many equivalent worshipers in the territory? But then again, Alexi's analysis does make sense. The last time Chloe brought not much explosives, they were mainly ritual items.
Even if the evil god is summoned, it cannot be defeated. How much equivalent can this evil god resist? If the airship is fully loaded with explosives, it is not a big problem to carry a few tons of explosives. What effect will a few tons of explosives have? "What is the second plan?"
"The Skitarii and Banshees will form a team and push forward. We are not far from the Gem Bay. If the sea level can really continue to drop, those monsters will not pose much of a threat on land. It will only be a waste of bullets. At this distance, we can make it there by setting up camp twice. This is faster than building an airship."
Another crude and crude plan, Hughes sighed.
"My Lord, what is your decision?"
"Come together, both of you."
