Chapter 1242 Evacuation From Extreme North Port
The Kingdom of Eternal Winter, Extreme North Port.
"Don't push! Come in line!"
"Throw away all your luggage. You are not allowed to bring it on board! The King of Graycastle will give you enough food and clothes. If you want to survive, just throw them into the water!"
"Move quickly! Women and children come first!"
The port area was crowded, and a large number of refugees flocked to the ships that were raising their sails. If the First Army and the Lord Guards had not used swords to maintain order, I am afraid that the narrow trestles would have turned into a hell road for the jungle in an instant.
"Captain, this ship... may not be enough." The soldier in charge of the guard looked back worriedly. At this time, a ship full of refugees was slowly leaving the harbor.
"If you dare to come to Jibei Port at this time, you can be considered a hero." Uncle Sang's eyes never left the front of the gun - in just three or four days, the red mist had spread from the top of the desperate situation. , pressing on the skyline like thick blood, it is so depressing to see.
"Boss...will you save a seat for us?" the man muttered.
"If it's a nail," Uncle Sang smiled, "even if he doesn't get on the boat, he will make a hole for us."
More than half a month ago, they received a transfer order to leave the Hermes Plateau and go to the northernmost city of Eternal Winter to take charge of the immigration transfer task. Compared to guarding the Holy City, Nailie seemed much more relaxed after receiving the new order. He talked a lot more along the way and started working immediately after arriving at the Extreme North Port.
The hundred or so of them were not the first group of Graycastle people to arrive in Eternal Winter. More of their comrades had already gone deep into various parts of the kingdom to evacuate the residents there. The evacuation was not carried out smoothly at first, but it was not until the appearance of the red moon that the situation improved. This was all due to earlier rumors that the red moon represented the end of the world. When the Blood Red Moon appeared, many locals were frightened and went directly to the military garrison to ask to leave.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long.
Only four or five days later, news of the discovery of red mist came from the front.
Then within the same day, the First Army fought against the devil.
They didn't know the outcome, but the result was that all the vanguard teams began to retreat south, and the Nail Team also received orders to prepare to retreat to the next port.
However, just in the past few days, the number of refugees has increased several times. Every day, tens of thousands of people come to Jibei Port and beg the ships to take them with them. Nail couldn't sit back and ignore everyone. While building a simple defense line on the spot, he notified the rear troops through flying messengers and requested more ships, which delayed the evacuation plan for several days.
But Uncle Sang knows that once the news spreads, fewer and fewer ships will dare to sail to the north. These fjord merchant ships with His Majesty's commission will never sacrifice their lives to serve. They may bite the bullet. Leaving the port, but never arriving... According to the current momentum, this should be the last batch.
Fortunately, Nailida should also know this, so he asked them to plant explosives early in the morning. First, they can resist the enemy when necessary, and second, they can destroy the equipment that cannot be taken away to avoid falling into the hands of the devil. .
"Captain, there's smoke rising in front!" someone shouted.
"Here it comes again..." Uncle Sang spat, "Everyone on your way!"
In the absence of sufficient manpower and witch detection, the ancient method of summons once again came into play.
This is not the first time that devils have visited the Far North Port. There are still several corpses of devils lying in the wilds outside the town. According to the manual distributed above, they are probably the crazy devils. Although the enemies come sparsely and their grades are not high, it also means that they have indeed appeared on the land of the Kingdom of Eternal Winter, and are getting closer here as the red mist spreads.
As a unit that has been stationed in Hermes since the Battle of Cold Wind Ridge, the Nail Team has not participated in the expedition to Taquila. Although Uncle Sang has heard many rumors, this is still the first time he has actually fought against the devil. Back. And the conclusion he has come to these days is that as long as the mad demons are not put within two hundred meters, they are easier to deal with than the church's divine punishment warriors.
Therefore, he was not too worried about the smoke rising in front of him. On the contrary, he was quite concerned about Nailie's next decision. There is no doubt that it is impossible for the two remaining large ships to take all the refugees away from this place. What should the leader do with the remaining people? Should we let them fend for themselves, or should we take them and flee south along the coast?
At this moment, the figure of the first mad devil appeared outside the barbed wire fence in the neighborhood.
Uncle Sang couldn't help but frowned.
Extreme North Port, like most harbor towns, has no city walls, so the defense line is set up on the dock thoroughfare. Except for the refugees, the rest of the residents have long been emptied. It is not surprising that the devil would be attracted to it. To his surprise, the sentries responsible for reconnaissance were still missing. Theoretically, they would evacuate after lighting the beacon smoke and should return to the defense line faster than the enemy.
Gradually, more crazy demons appeared from the street corners and poured towards the dock.
"Fire!"
Two machine gun squads simultaneously spit out tongues of fire toward the end of the street, pouring a dense hail of bullets onto the enemy. The opponent reacted very quickly and immediately used the surrounding buildings as a hiding place. After a burst of smoke cleared, only two bodies hanging on the barbed wire were left.
Soon, gunfire rang out from the rooftops as well.
Apparently, the enemy trying to bypass overhead encountered the waiting sniper team.
This is exactly how the detachment defends the port - considering that the field of vision for urban operations is far less open than in the suburbs, what he has done most this week is to set up roadblocks, whether it is stacking and unloading garbage or demolishing houses on the spot. Nine out of ten alleys leading to the dock are blocked, and one block covers an entire street. These obstacles cannot prohibit the enemy's movement, but they can effectively delay time - if the opponent does not want to waste time clearing and climbing over the roadblocks, they will have to break through the main road blocked by machine guns head-on.
Then it entered the fighting stage where the enemy appeared, suppressed fire, and continued to find cover. This should be a small enemy force. According to current inferences, it is unlikely that they will rush to the defense line and throw spears. At this time, they should choose to retreat. But the devil is still hiding persistently, as if he wants to use up the ammunition of the First Army.
In terms of combat perseverance, this enemy team is much tougher than what appeared a few days ago... as if they have seen a battle filled with bullets.
Uncle Sang sneered, if the God's Punishment Army knew this trick, it would be really hard for them. Unfortunately, the equipment of the First Army has become much richer now. Their hundred-man detachment alone is equipped with four Mark 1s, and the ammunition can be used for a day without any difficulty. If you continue to struggle, the enemy will die here sooner or later.
However, a change suddenly occurred at this moment!
He only heard a loud bang, and smoke and dust rose up from the side of the house on the north side of the pier. A giant armored object smashed through the layers of stone walls and climbed out of the ruins——
"Spider demon?" the soldier asked in surprise.
"Prepare anti-Devil grenades!"
Uncle Sang's heart suddenly sank. The manual did mention a kind of spider-like devil, but from the appearance, the one that appeared in their eyes was different from the previous enemies.
The black stone wrapped around its limbs was much thicker, covering almost half of its body. 8)
