Evacuating Ursus
That's right, the cannonball landed in the very direction the Rhodes Island group was heading.
If they hadn't turned in time, the Rhodes Island convoy would have crashed into the bombing zone.
Everyone looked at Doctor with admiration.
His exceptional command saved everyone's lives.
But the next second everyone started to worry again.
After all, this kind of artillery fire coverage is definitely not something that a simple army can achieve.
Then, a cold, enormous creature appeared before everyone in the darkness, making them feel a chill run through their bodies.
"It's High-Speed Battleship! Everyone be careful!" Scout, the first to spot the High-Speed Battleship, screamed in despair.
Everyone present felt as if they were being suppressed by an invisible gravity.
There's no way around it; for flesh and blood, High-Speed Battleship are simply invincible.
Throughout Terra's millennia-long history of warfare, aside from pre-planned ambushes, there have been virtually no instances on the front lines where flesh and blood could defeat High-Speed Battleship; in fact, there was almost no resistance whatsoever.
Only High-Speed Battleship can withstand High-Speed Battleship; this is a consensus among all.
And now, right in front of them was such a colossal creature.
The warship's cold cannons were pointed directly in their direction, exuding a terrifying aura.
Even if they don't know how terrifying this thing is.
But looking at the size of that High-Speed Battleship and the dense array of cannons on it, Doctor knew that this thing was no match for it.
What I thought was a barrage of artillery fire might just have been a simple salvo from the enemy.
However, the more dangerous the situation, the calmer the Doctor remained.
He raised his communicator and directed the convoy to change direction again, and the convoy made a graceful turn and headed into the distance once more.
At the same time, smoke billowed from the gun barrels of the High-Speed Battleship, and a few seconds later, the direction in which they had been advancing was once again covered by artillery fire.
"Damn it, this can't be happening! We've been within their firing range the whole time; they're just messing with us!"
Doctor's forehead was covered in sweat. After staring at the enormous creature in the distance and thinking for a moment, he concluded that he and his group were just mice being played by a cat.
Once the big cat gets bored, it will be the end for them.
Just then, smoke rose from the warship again, Doctor's pupils contracted. He hadn't expected the enemy's cannons to reload so quickly.
Just when he thought he and his group were doomed, a series of explosions came from the sky.
Then a helicopter flew in from a distance and landed above the convoy.
"Buzz, head south, I'll stop the shells..."
A soft, sweet female voice came through the earphones.
"Rosmontis!" Amiya exclaimed, and everyone instinctively looked up at the sky.
The helicopter door was wide open, and a pale-faced, seemingly Feline young woman was gazing resolutely at the High-Speed Battleship in the distance.
"No!" Amiya's resolute voice rang out.
She knew that although Rosmontis was very strong, blocking that wave of artillery fire was her limit.
If she continues, she'll probably die here.
"I promised Logos I would take you back." Rosmontis's voice was soft, but firm.
This unwavering resolve made Amiya below extremely anxious.
She knew how stubborn the kitten on the helicopter was; she truly meant what she said and would do everything in her power to do it, even if it meant sacrificing her own life.
Just then, a lazy voice, tinged with the smell of alcohol, came from the communicator.
"The kitten should be lying in bed waiting for me to come back and eat it, what is it doing playing on the battlefield..."
Amiya looked around after hearing Suika's voice, but did not see her.
"Stop looking, you guys get out of here, I'll handle this big guy..."
Having overheard the entire conversation, the Doctor immediately directed the convoy to change direction again and quickly retreat to the southeast.
They saw Rhodes Island and tried to run away.
The cannons of the High-Speed Battleship rose again.
But before they could even exert their power, the people inside the warship witnessed a scene that left everyone speechless.
Half an hour ago, after evacuating from the city, Suika saw that the convoy had already left Chernobog far behind. Instead of chasing after them directly, she stayed far behind to observe the situation.
After all, apart from the Doctor, everyone else in the convoy had lucky charms given to them by themselves, so they weren't so easy to kill.
Instead of meeting up now, we should deal with the loose ends that have followed us.
Just after she dealt with several pursuing units, Rhodes Island ran right into the attack range of the High-Speed Battleship.
Upon spotting the enemy, Suika quickly rushed towards the High-Speed Battleship.
After Rosmontis successfully blocked a round of artillery fire, she finally reached the bottom of the warship.
Hearing that Rosmontis was prepared to fight to the death, Suika finally turned on her communicator and told them to evacuate together.
Then, looking at the High-Speed Battleship in front of her, which was about the same size as Rhodes Island, Suika twisted her neck and a smug smile appeared on her lips.
"Congratulations, you're about to become the second big toy I'll destroy, hahaha!"
Amidst the laughter, Suika grew larger and larger, towering over the warship by a head in just a few seconds...
Chapter 417 Evacuation from Ursus
The moment its enormous figure appeared on the battlefield, it drew everyone's attention.
Especially the soldiers on the decks of High-Speed Battleship.
They stared at the terrifying giant whose pupils were larger than their own, whose mouth seemed poised to suck them all in with a single breath.
They seemed to hear a sentence: "On that day, people were reminded of the fear of being ruled by giants."
Let's leave aside the feelings of those inside the High-Speed Battleship.
But the soldiers standing on the deck felt only the breath of death whispering in their ears.
Although this wasn't the first time Suika had grown to a large size, this was the first time she had seen such a "small person" so closely.
The fist clenched in his hand slowed down slightly.
At this moment, she was like a giant who had accidentally wandered into Lilliput, watching the ant-sized people in front of her run towards the entrance of the High-Speed Battleship, as if they would be safe as long as they entered the High-Speed Battleship.
Faced with this scene, Suika acted like a doll who had discovered something interesting.
Her eyes lit up, and then she blew a breath toward the people on the deck.
When an average person is the size of an ant, the breath they exhale can only make an ant fly a few meters.
Suika's breath in her giant form was no weaker than Onyxia's deep breath.
A dozen or so Ursus soldiers who couldn't dodge in time were blown several meters away.
If you're lucky, you might land somewhere on the deck and survive.
As for the lucky ones who are less fortunate and fly directly off the deck, well, it all depends on whether there's a haystack where they land.
After all, it's common knowledge that falling from a height onto a haystack won't kill you (humorous).
Like a child who has successfully pulled off a prank, Suika looked at everything in front of her with satisfaction. Just then, the cannons in front of her roared.
Then, dazzling sparks exploded all over her body.
Just like the monster in the Ultraman movie that got blown up by the Earth Defense Force's fireworks.
Caught off guard, Suika was blasted back several steps.
After the smoke cleared, the people on the High-Speed Battleship were filled with despair as they looked at the unharmed giant.
You have to understand that the attack just now was a salvo from the main guns on the side of his High-Speed Battleship and all of its secondary guns.
Under normal circumstances, it could cut off a section of a mountain.
But a burst of fireworks exploded on the other side.
Moreover, it was quite obvious from the gaze directed at them that the previous salvo had made them aware of the High-Speed Battleship.
Just as the soldiers were desperately trying to accelerate and fire the artillery again...
Suika clenched her right fist and drew her body out like a longbow.
The next second, the fist slammed into the warship's hull.
A very noticeable shockwave rippled outwards from the point of contact.
The entire High-Speed Battleship shifted several meters to the other side.
Meanwhile, Suika's side was instantly smoothed out as if by a painter's brush.
Although it looks exaggerated from the outside, what's even more terrifying is the interior of the High-Speed Battleship.
The powerful shockwave instantly killed everyone near the point of impact.
Even those far away suffered from bleeding from all seven orifices due to the terrifying shockwaves.
Many of the internal devices couldn't withstand the pressure and exploded.
Fortunately, the armory did not explode; otherwise, the High-Speed Battleship would have been torn apart instantly by the internal explosion.
Even so, this warship can basically be declared scrapped.
After all, if it needs repair, every part, from the outside in, must be inspected and repaired.
This money is more expensive than buying a new High-Speed Battleship.
After knocking down the High-Speed Battleship with a single punch, Suika looked at her fist with some dissatisfaction.
Unfortunately, he didn't possess Yuugi Hoshiguma's superhuman strength, and with his current abilities and skills, he couldn't knock that thing away with a single punch.
However, she looked up and around.
After the High-Speed Battleship was brought to a standstill by its own actions, the attention of the surrounding Ursus troops was completely drawn to it.
The Ursus troops gathered around, but dared not approach, and could only watch from a distance.
Given Suika's current size and the fact that even the main cannon couldn't penetrate her defenses, these soldiers wielding ordinary weapons would be no use rushing in except to get themselves killed.
However, the High-Speed Battleship, as an important part of the nation's military force, was stationed here. After the giant's punch, the High-Speed Battleship stopped moving. Without knowing what was inside, the soldiers were also under orders from their commander not to leave.
The gathering of people gave the Rhodes Island group the opportunity to get away.
Suika didn't act rashly, but just stood there, looking like she wouldn't move unless the enemy moved.
The surrounding Ursus troops also fell silent, and the once bustling battlefield became eerily quiet.
More than an hour later, after Suika estimated that Amiya and the others had retreated far enough, she used "Form-Gathering and Qi-Dispersion" in front of the Ursus people, turning into mist and disappearing before everyone's eyes.
A few minutes after Suika left, the Ursus troops, urged on by their rear guard, approached the High-Speed Battleship.
At this moment, many people's eyes were drawn to this side.
Immediately after Suika, all communication between the High-Speed Battleship and the outside world was severed.
This is a valuable weapon of war, and even the wealthy Old Nobility didn't have many of them.
If the losses were to occur here, many people would probably be devastated.
So after Suika left, they didn't even bother to check on Suika or the evacuated Rhodes Island, but instead quickly sent people to check on the situation here.
After struggling to open the door, the sight inside made many people gasp in shock.
Most of the people were either still unconscious or incapacitated by the shockwave.
All equipment inside the warship came to a standstill, forcing the rescue team to rely on foot and forced entry to rescue the trapped soldiers.
Because the High-Speed Battleship attracted the full attention of the military and the Old Nobility, the Rhodes Island group's subsequent evacuation was not significantly hindered.
The few interceptions were easily torn apart like paper with the support of the aerial Rosmontis, and by sunrise, the Rhodes Island group was almost out of Ursus's controlled territory.
"There's a military unit ahead!" the Long Scorpion on the lookout post suddenly shouted.
The Rhodes Island group, who had just relaxed, tensed up again.
Scout jumped onto the roof of the car and looked into the distance. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the person standing at the very front.
