Chapter 380: Attack and Assault
Once again riding the Super Fast Duck through the desert, maybe because the novelty of the first time was gone, Zhang Da also tightened the collar of his robe, disliking the strong wind and sand today.
Tom probably thought the same thing. He felt that wearing a robe was not enough, so he simply crawled into Zhang Daye's clothes. Before leaving, he even kindly helped Kuaipaoya put on goggles.
The running duck quacked twice to express its gratitude, and thought that this cat was quite cute when it didn't treat them as food.
The five people and one cat riding five trotting ducks quickly reached the banks of the Santo River. The soldiers guarding the port remembered them and let them go after routine inquiries.
The marines guarding the nearby warships just looked at them and saw that they didn't make any strange movements, so they paid no more attention.
"A Q."
“2.”
"A!"
"don't want."
When the few people got on the boat, the four flag monsters who stayed behind were playing poker in the cabin, and they were playing the rather niche Xuan Jianer.
Sui Feng'er, who was facing the door, saw Ye Yan at a glance, threw the cards into the pile, and stood up straight.
"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing? We are about to win!" The Golden Tongue Man finally got a good hand of cards.
"Throw it away, throw it away. Your teammates surrender, so we win this time!" The Tidecaller held down the deck of cards with one hand to prevent them from changing their minds, and with the other hand he gave Jin Erpeng a high five.
When Jin Erpeng was high-fiving, he noticed Ye Yan. He was more loyal than Sui Fenger. He threw away the cards and stood up, saying, "Master, you're back!"
Zhang Da also saw that Tidecaller and Golden Tongue Man's hands were trembling as they threw the cards up and caught them again. For a moment, he didn't know whether he should say hello first or turn around.
"Having fun?" Ye Yan kindly hooked his arm around the two monsters' shoulders and praised them with a smile.
“Ha, haha.” The Tidecaller laughed awkwardly, “It’s just so-so. It’s all because of the master’s good leadership.”
"Yes, yes." The Golden Tongue Man smiled apologetically, not showing the temperament of a great demon king at all.
Ye Yan didn't say anything else and let them go directly: "Okay, clean up, I'll need you to work later."
The flag monsters are loyal and devoted: "We are willing to go through fire and water for the Ye family for generations, without hesitation!
With the flag-monsters running around to help, everyone skillfully maneuvered the Amber and set sail towards the other side of the Santo River.
Tom ran to the kitchen to prepare food and water for the running ducks. They would need to work hard again when they got ashore.
It took a while to cross the 50-kilometer-wide river , and everyone found a relatively secluded place to park the boat.
"I'll stay and guard the boat," said Shark Chili. "I don't feel safe leaving like this, and I'll stand out too much."
"Okay." Zhang Da also thought about it. These flag monsters seemed a little unreliable. They didn't notice that people had entered the cabin. But it might be because the weather here was too hot and they didn't want to be exposed to the sun outside. Anyway, it was more reassuring to leave the shark pepper.
"I'll leave a few flag monsters here to accompany you. You can use them at your will." Ye Yan handed the four-sided Huang Yao Banner to Shark Chili. He would only bring a few flag monsters with special skills with him. He could rely on his teammates for combat effectiveness.
Zhang Daye, Tom, Altria, Rui Mengmeng and Ye Yan rode on four running ducks and rushed towards the rain.
Shortly after they reached the west bank of the Santo River, a small whirlwind suddenly appeared on the east bank of the Santo River. The whirlwind gradually expanded, carrying sand and soil, and blew rapidly towards the distance.
A soldier in charge of guarding the East Coast Wharf noticed the wind and sand. He patted his companion and said, "Hey, Nanyou, look over there! Is a sandstorm coming?"
"It seems so." Nan You looked into the distance and did not take his companion's words to heart. "Don't worry, it's not coming towards us."
"But that direction... is Albana! Report it quickly!"
“Ah!” Nan You frantically searched for the Den Den Mushi, and as he did so he consoled his companions: “It’s okay. Albana is located at such a high altitude that ordinary sandstorms won’t have any impact on it.”
"I know, but we have to report it anyway. Besides, this sandstorm seems to be getting bigger and bigger! Hurry up!"
“I know, I know… uh…” Nan You’s voice was stuck in his throat, and a sharp thorn had pierced his throat.
A sexy beauty with a blue-purple afro pulled out her spikes and threw Nanyou to the ground: "Don't cause trouble for others, okay, little brother?"
"You..." Nan You's companion widened his eyes, but as soon as he raised his weapon, the woman opposite him had already put her palm against his chest, and a thorn spike like the one before pierced the soldier's chest.
"The first rule of the killer is to start with the weakest prey." Miss. used her two fingers to retract the spikes on her palm. "Just lie down obediently. There will be more difficult prey waiting for me to deal with later."
"Who are you?" A dozen soldiers came over with weapons in hand, looking at their two fallen companions and cried out in confusion, "Nanyou! Kurosawa!"
The soldiers surrounded Miss. with their fingers and asked, "Who are you? Why are you doing this?"
"It's not polite to point a weapon at a lady." Miss. stroked her cheek with both fingers to make a charming gesture, then her expression changed, "She needs to be taught a lesson, spiked fingers!"
Miss. moved her fingers and feet and quickly rushed towards the soldiers with guns. Suddenly, sharp spikes more than a foot long emerged from her ten fingers and pierced into the soldiers' bodies.
“Wow~” The soldiers who were hit screamed and fell to the ground. The others said in panic, “It’s a person with special abilities. Attack together. Don’t be careless!”
"I am a thorn man who ate the thorn fruit. I can grow thorns all over my body." Miss. pointed her finger and introduced her ability without any hesitation. "So, no matter how many people there are, it is meaningless to me... Thorn Hedgehog Bomb!"
Miss. took two steps with her hands and jumped high, then curled herself up into a ball in the air. Countless spikes over one meter long grew on her body, and she crashed into the crowd.
"Wow~ A strange... a monster!"
The huge thorn ball rolled a few times, the screams of the soldiers gradually stopped, and the scene on the river bank was almost unbearable to watch.
Marines on the warship noticed the situation and wanted to help, but they also encountered problems.
A dozen billionaires and dozens of millionaires rushed onto the warship:
"Will this get me a promotion?"
"Perform well and you can even get a code name and become a senior agent!"
" Don't be too happy, idiot! After killing these navy soldiers, we have to go to the other side and destroy another ship!"
"Are you... from Baroque Works?" The Marines who stayed behind realized the identity of the enemy.
"So what? Just be my credit!"
"be mine!"
The Marines fought bravely, but were ultimately outnumbered and were chopped down one by one by the people from Baroque Works.
At this time, Lieutenant General Albana and Jackal Gaka of Fire Mountain surrounded a suspicious location.
The voice of Den Den Mushi suddenly rang out. Huo Shao Shan made a gesture and immediately answered the call: "What's the matter?"
"Lieutenant General, the warship is under attack... Bang! Ah! Crack!"
It was the Marine communicator who stayed behind on the warship who called Vice Admiral Huoshaoshan's Den Den Mushi at the last minute, but he was shot down just after he said a word, and the Den Den Mushi was crushed.
Perhaps the Marine's final scream was too loud, and there was movement in the besieged house.
Huoshaoshan frowned: "Mr. Jiaka..."
"Please go over and provide support. I'll take care of this." Jiaka also heard the call and said, "I'll go over and help as soon as I resolve the situation here."
"Please." Vice Admiral Huoshaoshan ordered his subordinates, "Support the warships, set off immediately!"
"Yes!" The Marines lined up in neat rows and ran forward.
Gakka commanded his soldiers to complete the encirclement again and ordered: "Charge in, don't let anyone escape!"
"Yes, Lord Gaka!"
Above Albana, a vulture was carrying a sea otter, circling along the city walls. Jaca, who was leading the team to fight the criminals, Jackie Chan, who was lecturing the little girls in the palace, and the navy, who had just left Albana and was heading towards the sandstorm, were all seen by these two little animals.
The most important target they were looking for was King Cobra, who was having a pleasant conversation with several residents.
Ikalem, the captain of the guard, and Bell, the adjutant, were looking at the king with reverence. Although they often glanced around with vigilance, they did not notice any peeping from above.
Swish, swish, swish, the little sea otter quickly drew a simple bird's-eye view of Albana, marked Cobra's position at the moment when the sandstorm was approaching the city, and then patted the vulture on the back.
The vulture swooped down with it, stuffed the drawing paper into the window of a building, and then soared into the sky again.
A man dressed as a monk looked at the drawing paper, memorized the location, and burned the paper: "Prepare for action."
"Have you received an order from 0-chan?" A man (?) wearing a swan costume and exaggerated makeup on his face stood on tiptoe and danced a ballet-like dance. "Don't give me an order. I don't like to carry out missions with you, Mr. 1. I miss my lovely subordinates. I'm not kidding~"
"Shut up." Mr. 1 said coldly, "If it wasn't for the Boss's order, you would have been killed by me. Please note your identity, Mr. 2 von Clay."
"I'm not afraid~" Mr. 2 raised his hands, posed like a swan dance, and said in a chanting tone, "There are men and women in this world, but shemales are both men and women, so... the way of shemales~ is the strongest! I'm not kidding~"
Mr. 1 ignored Him and stared at the sandstorm that was getting closer and closer. He estimated the time and opened the door: "Let's go."
"Wait a minute~" Mr. 2 followed by jumping in a ballet style.
call--
The huge sandstorm finally hit Albana, and screams began to be heard on the edge of the city. Some people were frightened, while others were shouting for everyone to be careful of the sandstorm.
Albana is a city in the desert after all, and its residents remained calm despite the fierce sandstorm.
People covered their mouths and noses with the wide sleeves of their robes and ran home quickly. Those who lived too far away simply asked for shelter from nearby families. People at home put away important items outside and closed the doors and windows.
Occasionally, you could hear a child crying in fear, but they would immediately be held under the arms of an adult and taken away.
Cobra, Ikalem and the others were obviously far from home, but they were not panicked at all. Cobra even directly ordered the guards to help the people nearby evacuate, and even wanted to help the residents move their belongings.
This sandstorm was unusual. The dust on the ground was blown up by the strong wind, and the air became extremely turbid. People could hardly be seen dozens of meters away. It was originally cloudless near noon, but now it was dark and gloomy.
Cobra was worried that such a severe sandstorm might cause many casualties.
"Your Majesty, all the residents nearby have evacuated, and it's time for us to take shelter as well!" Ikalem was so concerned about the king's safety that he didn't even bother to clear his throat.
Cobra nodded: "Okay..."
"Be careful!" Bell interrupted Cobra, kicked Ikalem on the waist and kicked him away, then held Cobra's body with one hand and rushed forward, turning directly into a beast form in mid-air and spreading his wings to protect the king.
Suddenly, a bomb fell from the sky and landed right where Cobra was standing, and exploded with a loud bang.
A huge hole was instantly blown out in the middle of the street, and the rolling heat wave blew Ikalem away, causing him to roll several times on the ground.
"Wow~" The members of the escort team were blown away by the sudden explosion and fell to the ground.
Ikalem rolled to his feet and looked for Cobra: "Your Majesty, Bell! Damn it, who did this!?"
"Bang, bang, bang..." Gunshots rang out from above, and a vulture wearing goggles swooped down. The two machine guns on its shoulders aimed at Ikalem and fired bullets. The little sea otter on the vulture's back also took out a shell with a sharp blade and prepared for a close attack.
Poof! A flower of blood burst out from Ikalem's shoulder. He stepped back a few steps, gritted his teeth, stretched out his hand and pulled his tie, and six small cannons stretched out from his curly hair and fired at the same time: "Curly Cannon!"
Bang, bang, bang, six small shells were fired and exploded in mid-air, but the Vulture nimbly avoided the explosion range and continued to dive down through the smoke.
Ikalem pulled his tie again to fire: "Don't try to act recklessly!"
The condor circled in the air and then dived faster, with the sea otter on its back swinging the sharp shell .
Swish! Four bloody marks appeared on Ikalem's chest. His clothes were soaked with blood and he fell to the ground.
The vulture kept flying at a low altitude and headed straight for Cobra and Bell. The little sea otter once again displayed the sharp blade of its shell that looked like the claws of a wild beast.
However, this time, his sharp blade was blocked by a long sword. Bell transformed into a human|beast form and used the long sword to block the sea otter's sharp blade. His strength far exceeded that of the sea otter and he directly knocked the little sea otter away.
At the same time, Bell's feet turned into falcon claws and grabbed the vulture.
The vulture didn't dare to confront Bell head-on. It flapped its wings slightly and moved sideways to avoid the claw. It spun in the low sky, turned around to catch the little sea otter that was knocked flying, and flew back into the air.
Bell ran forward a few steps to help Ikalem up and asked, "Ikalem, how are you?"
"Ahem...well...ahem..." Ikalem failed to clear his throat and could only make do with, "I'm fine. How about His Majesty? How is His Majesty?"
"Slave...I'm fine." Cobra responded.
"That's the 'unlucky duo' from Baroque Works that Mr. Tatsuya mentioned. Those guys actually dared to attack His Majesty the King!" Bell's face was gloomy.
"We were too careless." Ikalem was also very angry. He said, "Bell, I will take His Majesty back to the palace. You chase him immediately. Don't let the murderer escape!"
"Leave it to me!" Bell transformed into a falcon, flapped his wings and flew into the sky.
Ikalem walked up to the king and said, "Your Majesty, this place is too dangerous. Let's leave!"
"Okay." Cobra agreed and turned to walk towards the palace.
Ikalem was stunned, feeling something was wrong. He shook his head, perhaps because of the danger he had just encountered: "Guards! How are you? Those who can still move, follow immediately and escort His Majesty back to the palace!"
There were sporadic responses from the guards, some struggling to get up, while others remained motionless.
Ikalem was sad, but he could only comfort himself that this was the duty and destiny of the guard, and now the king's safety should be the top priority.
He led the remaining guards to follow the king. The corpses on the street could only be cleaned up after returning to the palace.
