Chapter 129 - 129: 85. Energy explosion again

More than half an hour had passed since the elite squad broke through the watchtower.
Above the underground river, thousands of kilometers away from the Imperial Army.
The undead cargo ship, carrying the aura of death and decay, sails from the heartland of the Undead Cult.
They carry heavy cargo, like iron ploughs crossing the river surface, sweeping the filthy water to both banks.
The goods on the ship are extremely heavy, causing the river to rise noticeably where they pass.
These cargo ships are made of rotten wood and rusted nails, covered with dark green moss and greasy sludge, as if they have been sunken in the seabed for hundreds of years.
But these seemingly fragile ships have been sailing steadily for a long twith the creaking sound of the wood, without encountering any accidents like leaks, tilts, or anchors being thrown.
Without a doubt, it is the Death Runes that protect them.
On the decks and cabins of the cargo ship, there are a large number of dark imprints, which are the Undead Runes written by the Death Priests.
Undead spirits always enjoy using this blasphemous power to protect their magical devices and important facilities.
Today, they are doomed to fail.
Because, when these cargo ships are sailing, they cannot activate the Magic Protective Cover, otherwise the interaction between the river water and the magic of the cover will disrupt the ships’ navigation.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAnother reason why the fleet is doomed today is that they are completely unaware of the crisis on the shore and in the river.
The ruins of the watchtower were pushed by the Imperial Army into the underground river, accumulating on the riverbed and forming obstacles that emerged from the water.
On the shores of the poisonous fog, ten full platoons were lurking.
They built temporary barricades with gray worm barriers and set up a fierce interception line, camouflaging themselves.
Within this line that merged with the riverbank, hundreds of large-caliber gun barrels pointed towards the floating wreckage on the river surface.
Noland Lee personally joined the interception mission and even got a light machine gun with a biochemical bullet head.
He wasn’t supposed to have this treatment.
But ever since realizing that the real use of the Deconstruction Technique is for team battles and last hitting, he boldly went to Lieutenant Slyke Thompson and bluntly asked for a light machine gun.
That was more or less what he said to Lieutenant Slyke Thompson:
“Chief Officer, I don’t know when I’ll die in the Death Storm. As an Imperial man, I dream of feeling the thrill of holding a light machine gun and shooting enemies in the roar of gunfire. Can you givea light machine gun and assignthree Private Second Class soldiers to helpchange the ammunition chain and water box?”
After pondering for a moment, Lieutenant Slyke Thompson agreed.
This might be a compromise made by Lieutenant Slyke Thompson after recognizing Noland Lee’s value.
Noland Lee didn’t think about it that much; his heart was only focused on how to make the last hit.
“Everyone, enter a silent state… our enemies are coming.” Lieutenant Slyke Thompson gave the order with gestures.
The Imperial Army fell silent.
All military barriers disguised as rocks remained quiet and still.
Without prior agreement, each unit waited for their long-awaited undead fleet in silence and observation.
There is only one fatal flaw in this interception operation:
That is the disappearance of the watchtower from the shore.
The undead fleet must have a route map of the underground river.
If they find out that the place where the watchtower should have been has turned into an empty space, they will definitely sound the alarm right away.
But that’s not a concern.
To intercept the undead fleet, that causes tomb uprisings wherever they go, the Vidas Army has invested heavily in manpower, ammunition, and explosives without regard to cost.
The moment the Undead Fleet discovers the disappearance of the watchtower, a sky-full of bullets and bombs have already fallen on their heads.
“Whoosh- Whoosh-
The river water surged, the river surface rose, and the water splashed against the banks.
Noland Lee raised his head and looked at the approaching undead cargo ship.
A series of Deconstruction Techniques were launched by him, scanning all the cargo ships within his field of vision.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThere are six ships in the fleet.
The first and last ships are heavily armed warships, carrying a small amount of magic stones.
The four ships in the middle are pure cargo ships, with only ordinary undead crew and cargo, without any significant defense forces.
Tomb Skeleton Soldiers are the laborers on the ship.
Ghostly crew members are the helmsmen and sailors manipulating the oars and masts.
Skeleton heads hanging on the ship’s side and watchtower are unfortunate Skeleton Warriors, acting as the ship’s lookout.
Both in combat vessels and cargo ships, there are two sources of power.
One is the water.
In the windless underground space, undead ships can only travel downstream.
The other source of power is the giant leg bones protruding from the bottom of the ship.
These leg bones are about 20 meters in length, with four on each cargo ship.
Stepping on the riverbed with the leg bones, they “carry” the cargo ships as they walk, both speeding up their navigation and sharing the weight of the cargo, so that the ships are not overwhelmed by the death element stones that piled up into a mountain.
What Noland Lee paid most attention to was the Death Priests and Undead Monks standing on the combat ships.
These guys all have the power comparable to the First Order “Imperial Fist”. No doubt when they start their offense, they will cause a massive impact.
But likewise, there is no need to worry about their existence.
Because the Vidas Army has inserted a total of 30 elite fighters, 6 lieutenants, and 1 chief officer into the interception line.
This is an unequal battle; the Empire’s strength is extremely powerful, and it always remains hidden without alerting the undead..
