Chapter 591: The Man Who Faces the Evil Devil
"That's... the Eastern Messenger's ship?" Des Moines said in surprise, "They can actually maintain stability in the strong wind."
Taxis was also quite surprised. As far as she knew, the church was indeed studying sea ships that did not rely on sails to move forward in order to deal with the possible appearance of the elven slave fleet in the Natadine Empire. However, she did not expect that it would be completely useless in the development of long voyages. The unknown Far East Continent actually took the lead in making such a ship.
"Hey - are you okay!? Where are the rest of the trial team?" At this time, Xia Fan also noticed Taxis hovering in the outer circle of the upper city, and led Olina to come closer.
"They should still be within the storm circle." Taxis looked at the cloudy front and hesitated for a moment, "What happened just now...did you see it?"
"Are you saying that the evil demon swallowed the sun god Hera? I have long said that gods are unreliable." Xia Fan wiped the rain from his face, "But it is gone when it is gone. We can use other Ways to deal with evil spirits.”
If it were normal times, Des Moines would jump out to refute his blasphemous words immediately, but now he can't say anything except gritting his teeth.
After hearing Xia Fan's answer, Taksis actually showed a look of relief.
It turns out that he is not the only one who has not lost his fighting spirit.
Even if she is facing an evil spirit that is no less than a god, there are still people who are willing to fight alongside her.
This realization revived her tired spirits.
"Even if all the members of the trial team are safe and sound, I'm afraid they won't be able to rejoin the battle in a short period of time. Now, the only ones who still have the courage to face the evil are you and me." Taxis looked at the sea that had risen to Xiacheng District, who was on the second floor, said, "Do you have any good countermeasures?"
The first thing Xia Fan thought of was the Nine Heavens Thunder.
At least the shock technique is indeed unique in dealing with evil spirits.
But he also didn't know whether the thousands of thunders falling from the sky would still be as effective as in the past when faced with a demon that could change the sky and cause tsunamis.
And this kind of problem can only be known by trying it.
"I have a technique that may be able to destroy the evil spirit, but it must be closer to it." Xia Fan thought about it and replied, "At least it must be close to the edge of the vortex."
This is also a major shortcoming of Jiuxiao Tianlei.
Its strike range is centered on the caster, so the location where it is cast is very critical. If the alchemy is cast in the lower city, only a handful of thunder can hit the demon.
Des Moines' heart suddenly sank when he heard that he was going to rush into the storm area again.
The previous violent storm was not that strong, and it was extremely difficult for the Tribunal to maintain their formation in the wind. Now, after absorbing the divine power, the vortex above the demon's head has the potential to cover the sky and the sun. With the current situation of the team leader, it is very difficult to break in. There will be no life or death.
"I'll take you in." Taksis said without hesitation.
"Lord Yongyi!" The guardian knight couldn't bear to look at his superior.
"Miss Okan doesn't have much experience in combat flying, and she doesn't appear to be from a knight family. This type of flying where she may die at any time is not suitable for her." Taxis pretended to smile lightly, "Besides me, there are also No one can send Ambassador Xia in."
Olina did not object.
In terms of flying skills, there is indeed a big gap between her and her opponent.
More importantly, facing the raging storm in the distance, she felt really frightened.
"But you can't even stabilize your body in the wind!" Des Moines' face was full of worry.
"That's because I have no experience before. And one experience like this is enough." She paused, "Of course, Ambassador Xia has no obligation to fight for this matter. If the plan doesn't work, I will definitely save you." Bring it back intact.”
Just as Xia Fan was about to nod, the rumble of gunfire suddenly came from behind.
Everyone followed the sound and couldn't help but be slightly startled.
I saw several ships drifting in the distance with half-sails raised, heading towards the upper city!
"Are they crazy?" Des Moines couldn't help but be stunned, "How dare they raise the sail at this time?"
Although the wind and rain in the lower city area were not as violent as in the upper city area, it was still not a suitable weather for sailing at the moment. The strong winds passing through the streets and the waves that kept coming from all directions would cause the ship to be destroyed if it got out of control.
Taksis opened her mouth in surprise, "They are..."
"It seems that we are not the only ones who have the courage to face the evil." Xia Fan couldn't help but smile.
…
On the Blue Swordfish, the captain shouted at the top of his lungs, "Have you seen that big ship from the east? Follow us, we can't let them finish all the work! Boys, keep an eye on the surrounding area." , don’t miss those bastards!”
"Boss, Zuo Xian discovered a large group of evil spirits on the fifteenth day!"
"Well done, open the port gun door and push the cannon into position!"
He shouted and turned the wheel. The ship was like falling leaves in the strong wind, and almost hit the buildings on the street several times.
This is not a battleship under the control of the church.
It is just a private sea-going ship used to escort ocean-going caravans. It has only one layer of cannons under the deck. Its firepower is vastly different from that of a first-class battleship, but this does not prevent it from rushing into the city and firing at the scattered evil spirits. .
"Artillery ready!"
"Fire, fire! Give these monsters some color!"
Amid a roar, more than a dozen shrapnel shells passed through layers of rain curtains and fell around the small demons. It turns out that these low-level demons are not much better than ordinary people in terms of their ability to resist artillery fire. Even the shell fragments of shrapnel shells can cause serious damage to the demons.
And this scene is not only happening on the Blue Marlin.
More and more sea vessels are choosing to take the risk of raising their sails and join the battle to defend the Azure Castle.
The towering warships standing at the forefront have become the target of many captains to follow.
They staggered into the city against the strong wind, following the figure of the White Sand, and bombarded the demons that were besieging and killing the residents.
Even the sailing ships without combat capabilities gave up the previous strategy of protecting the ship and began to take the initiative to rush to various areas of the Azure Castle to rescue the residents trapped at high points in the city.
This is by no means an easy choice.
Many ships were pushed directly to the surrounding buildings as soon as they raised their sails, causing damage to the hull at the least and water inflow and capsizing at the worst. But gradually, more and more ships took the initiative to enter the city in the storm, and from a distance it seemed as if a large fleet had been formed.
They clearly did not have a unified command, nor did they belong to the same organization. Some were even free exploration ships, but at this moment, their actions showed an incredible sense of uniformity.
A joint front from the lower city to counterattack the upper city was thus established invisibly.
