Indescribable tarot cards - #306 - Chapter 306 Surprise Attack on Pearl Harbor

Let’s move the time hand forward a little.

A small town by the sea somewhere on the east coast of Asia Grant.

It is surrounded by mountains on three sides and has only one entrance and exit. The terrain is superior and it is an excellent port.

Also because not far from this town, there is a coral island rich in pearls.

Therefore, this town was named Pearl Harbor.

Both the namer and those who have seen the town with their own eyes believe that in just a few years, this town will definitely become a small town and then be upgraded to a famous port on the east coast.

Ideal is full, the reality is very skinny.

Success is also due to terrain, and failure is also due to terrain.

When those evil sea tribes set their sights on this commercial town, they immediately declared their death sentence.

It was a dark and windy night for a month, with strong tides.

People who live by the sea are certainly used to the rhythmic sound of the tides.

However, in the second half of the night, the seawater that should have receded suddenly rushed up to the embankment, and the muffled roar could not suppress the noise that spread from small to large under the water.

Also because of the invasion of the Sea Tribe during this period, there were still many dedicated patrol guards on the embankment.

Even because it was an unusual time, the patrolling guards were deliberately led by a Silver-level transcendent, and the number of patrol guards was twice as many as before.

Logically speaking, this configuration is enough to easily deal with bandits who are running around or passing by to rob.

It’s a pity that today, they are facing the army.

This was a premeditated attack.

A few patrolling soldiers vaguely felt that today’s tide seemed to be particularly strong. Before they could think about it, the next wave of tide had already hit their calves.

They only felt a huge force coming in. Many of them staggered, but some of them groaned and fell directly into the water.

“Haha, Tim, did you spend all your energy on the bartender last night? Why are your legs so weak?”

The companions on the side didn’t take it seriously and laughed.

Patrolling at night is always a chore, and if I don’t have some fun, I will be very depressed.

However, the next moment, the expression of the patrol guard who was smiling a little became stiff.

Tim, who accidentally fell into the water, struggled wildly.

At this time, the tide has not receded yet, causing water splashing around.

Under the dim light of the torch, there seemed to be some shadow quietly lurking.

“enemy……”

The experienced vice-captain reacted immediately and wanted to shout loudly, but before he could even finish his words, a water spear shot out of the water directly penetrated his high-quality iron-inlaid leather armor and held it firmly. He blocked his words directly.

Almost immediately following the water spear, countless gray-white tentacles suddenly shot out from the calf-deep water.

Caught off guard, less than half of the patrol team of more than a dozen people was immediately captured.

It seemed to be intentional, as the tentacles picked out guards holding torches.

Except for the silver-level transcendent, all the other torches either fell into the water in panic, or were extinguished in the water.

The bright fire suddenly left only one pitiful stick.

“Enemy attack!”

Another guard shouted at the top of his lungs.

However, the tide that had not yet receded rose again, and the raging seawater slapped against the embankment, covering his voice.

Immediately afterwards, the tide overflowed the embankment again, and there was another round of erosion.

This time, the water rushed directly over the thighs, and the powerful current made the few surviving guards feel a little unsteady in their steps.

It’s not that the Silver Level Extraordinary didn’t think about counterattack, but two talisman inscriptions flashed on his body, and a huge seawater palm suddenly grew out from under his feet, and punched him directly.

However, this punch made entirely of seawater did not hit the extraordinary person, and hit the rising swirling seawater shield midway.

Like a meat grinder, the fist sank into it silently, without breaking through this seemingly flimsy shield.

In fact, Pearl Harbor also made preparations for the selection of patrols.

A silver-level transcendent is on a night shift, and several people take turns, either a scepter-type water mage or a warlock with similar abilities to water-type monsters, or a warrior with extremely strong survivability or a beast-blooded person with the blood of water-type monsters. .

Anyway, one word stands out: drag!

If you encounter an emergency, wait until the town reacts and wait until reinforcements arrive!

The extraordinary man was distracted. While blocking the sudden blow with an elemental shield, he took out the magical extraordinary device in his arms and prepared to activate it.

This is an alarm device carefully crafted by the Holy Grail extraordinary person to prevent emergencies like the present one.

Once the leader of the extraordinary feels unable to stop him, he only needs a little extraordinary aura to activate it.

It was mixed with the black rope silver carefully made by the gray dwarves in the underground, combined with the black technology of the dwarves that could explode at any time, and the subsequent subtle adjustments made by the Holy Grail extraordinary people.

After testing, this thing, which looks only about the size of an adult’s fist, can fly to a height of 100 meters and forcibly create a ball of light that hangs in the air for tens of seconds!

Not only does it provide a warning, but it also provides light for those who are attacked.

If this device were to take off, Pearl Harbor, which was always on alert, would be able to react in a short time.

Night attacks are always about being caught off guard.

If you wait for the target to react, the effect will be greatly reduced.

At the critical moment, the extraordinary person narrowed his eyes and activated the device in his hand.

Following a red line, the device soared into the air in the blink of an eye.

At this time, the few old patrols who had retired from the battlefield were all corpses floating on the water.

There is no way to fight back.

Right now, only this extraordinary person is still holding the torch high, standing alone in waist-deep water.

This device flew extremely fast, but the enemy seemed to have already planned it. Several adult-sized tentacles suddenly emerged from the sea and intercepted the device easily.

The alarm device hit the tentacles, and nothing happened.

However, just as the tentacles came out of the water and before they even touched the device, the transcendent took out an alarm device again.

Every extraordinary person who is responsible for patrol will carry two of them!

While the enemy in the sea was attracted by the first alarm device, the two talisman inscriptions on the extraordinary person suddenly flashed.

A translucent water wall drained the surrounding seawater in the blink of an eye and rose from the ground.

It was only then that the enemies hiding in the sea and crawling on the ground like giant salamanders were exposed.

Of course, only the extraordinary person can see it now.

The extraordinary person used all his strength to block sight and perception with this wall of water, and then activated it with the last bit of extraordinary breath!

So, the alarm device shot up into the sky!

A deep roar came from the sea, and the gray-white tentacles smashed against the water wall with a heavy sound of breaking through the air.

The wall of water, which was filled with the full strength of an extraordinary person, shattered under the force powerful enough to break open the wooden and stone city gates.

There was a heavy rumble, as if a heavy rain fell out of thin air for several seconds.

However, after all, this wall of water still blocked it for a moment.

The alarm device rose into the air and exploded under the gaze of the extraordinary.

A bright white light filled his vision, followed by an explosion that could not be concealed.

Boom!

In just one or two breaths, the town of Pearl Harbor suddenly had dozens more lights.

In the far distance, the observation lighthouse high on the top of the mountain cast two beams of light directly.

At this moment, Pearl Harbor was like a newly awakened beast, ready for battle in a short period of time.

Of course, all this is no longer important to the unknown transcendent.

The result of all the power condensing on that wall of water was that his body was completely exposed to the eyes of the enemies around him.

He was not a physically trained warrior and could not withstand the attacks of groups of elite fish-man assassins.

The several magic accessories he carried shone one after another, and then dimmed under the dense attack.

The wall of water collapsed and a torrent of seawater poured down.

Under the reflection of the light ball above his head, he was already covered in blood when he landed.

Some from him, and some from the rest of the patrol.

And his body had been pierced by several sharp daggers polished from hard coral rock.

A murloc, who was obviously the leader, exuded a strong aura of silver rank, and cut off his head with a knife.

The headless corpse was heavily smashed into the water, while dozens or even hundreds of murlocs screamed strangely, and finally stood up, waving a variety of crude and deadly weapons in their hands.

The leader of the fish-men was in better condition, and was even wearing a tattered piece of cloth.

It raised its head, waved it wantonly, and then led the charge.

The murlocs finally stopped covering up and headed straight for the town of Pearl Harbor screaming.

Now that it has been discovered, there is no point in covering it up.

The war has officially begun!

Pearl Harbor is surrounded by mountains on three sides, so most of the buildings are built against the mountains.

From a distance, it looks a bit like a messy multi-level staircase with layers upon layers.

Also because of the successive invasions of the sea tribe, several rows of houses near the coast have been completely emptied, filled with bricks and rubble, and completely sealed.

Even the streets were blocked off with wooden barriers of various sizes, and there were several extremely deep ravines from time to time.

Of course, these fortifications, which are particularly difficult for humans, just require a little more thought for the sea people.

In the first few waves of tentative attacks, they had already found a solution.

The surging tide surged for the third time, and if it was deliberately induced, it was like a small tsunami, instantly overflowing the chest-high low walls.

Immediately afterwards, several strange sounds came from the sea.

Several giant gray-white octopuses as big as three or four stories high appeared from the sea, and dozens of tentacles worked together to sweep them away.

There was only a crackling sound, and most of the first row of houses used as fortifications had collapsed.

Those are stone buildings that can withstand shocking typhoons on weekdays!

The sea water hit, and the murlocs stepped on the tide, screaming in the incomprehensible language of the murloc tribe, and rushed straight towards them.

Washed by the sea water, they simply ignored the annoying Juma and ran over the top of Juma majestically.

The Sea Tribe has been planning for a long time. From raiding to killing people to triggering the tide to carry the fish forward, it is almost done in one go, link by link, without any unfamiliarity or lag.

A series of actions were completed in just a minute or two.

Even though the patrol team had responded appropriately, they still ran out of time due to mental calculations and unintentional calculations.

It wasn’t until the sea tide completely overflowed the first row of houses that several extraordinary auras flickered and rose from halfway up the mountain.

Of course, at the moment, despite the menacing attack of the Sea Clan, under the premise that Pearl Harbor has actively abandoned three rows of houses, it is not easy to see anyone.

On the other side, several rows of sleeping guards wearing armor had already arrived at the defense line.

After abandoning three entire rows of houses, Pearl Harbor once again dug an extremely deep trench with the fourth row of houses as the boundary, and then finally set up the first team of guards on the fifth row of houses.

At this time, the tide surged and barely reached the second row of houses.

These houses are all built against the mountains, and every rise means that the sea water needs to rush up a lot.

From the fifth row of houses to the first row of houses, the gap is nearly twenty meters.

It is very difficult for the Sea Clan to drive the tide to the fifth-floor house. A gold-level transcendent must be there to drive the tide.

After all, the sea tribe lives in the water all year round. Even if there are amphibious races like fishmen, they are still more suitable for fighting in the water.

If they were separated from the protection of sea water and the familiar environment, it would be hard to say how much combat power this sea clan would have left.

But if the Sea Clan wanted to attack Pearl Harbor, they would have to fight against a drop of nearly twenty meters.

Pearl Harbor is just a port, not an isolated island in the sea. Relying on the mountains on three sides and existing roads, the support from the Kingdom of Algrant can be endless.

This is a conspiracy.

The attacker was forced to waste a gold-level combat force at the beginning of the war to manipulate the sea water to form terrain.

The silver level is considered the backbone of the extraordinary combat power, while the gold level can already have the final say on local battlefields.

In human terms, Pearl Harbor is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Like a strong man cutting off his arm, Pearl Harbor forcibly sacrificed its development and management in the next one or two years just to be able to stick like nails on the border of war during this turmoil.

Not to mention anything else, just the first few rows of houses abandoned during the war will have to be rebuilt after the war, and they may even have to be torn down and re-planned.

In order to cope with possible attacks by sea tribes, Pearl Harbor has built a second lighthouse on the mountain as a replacement for the sea lighthouse.

At this time, the momentum of the tide stopped for a while, and the fishmen at the front of the wave were shouting and screaming, speaking in a fishman language that humans could not understand at all.

At this moment, a huge black shadow suddenly appeared in the shallow sea.

The moonlight is sparse tonight, but the offshore lighthouse still in operation not far away inadvertently brushes the beam of light past the dark shadow.

So everyone can see it.

It was a gray-white, spotted octopus head.

Even though it is still far away from everyone, just looking at it, a sense of oppression arises spontaneously.
