National Juggernaut

Chapter 449 Interception
The ocean, as calm as ever, is a completely different world for most of its inhabitants.

The core theaters of both sides, before the first three islands of human beings, are approximately equal to the edge of this world, close to the border area of ​​the human world.

That also means that there is the farthest place in the whole world from the core area of ​​the ghost race.

And when Qiu Zhishan, who led most of the ghost clan's main fleet, realized that something was wrong, it and its fleet had already fallen into the meat grinder battlefield.

All the main forces have been put into the battlefield, and the ghost general is just a high-level miscellaneous soldier on such a battlefield. The first time the "God of Vengeance" was activated, it created a bottomless pit-level flesh and blood mill.

At this time, if you stand on the side of the ghost clan, you may regret investing too much in the first wave of fleets.

Under the call of Qiu Zhishan, ghosts, big and small, responded one after another. It is such an irresistible temptation to enjoy the taste of flesh and blood and killing with the boss. The desire to kill, or respond to the call of the great lord, are orders that cannot be refused.

They will even kill each other in order to compete for the opportunity to participate in the war, forcing the losers to garrison their lairs. But in fact, most of the ghost lairs are not garrisoned. keep home.

It stands to reason that there should not be many reinforcements at this time.
"boom!"

This is another battlefield of naval battles, the wooden sailboats are burning blazingly, and there are nearly a hundred such fires just where they are witnessed.

I don't know how long the sea battle has been going on. If the evil spirits who only step on canoes and dilapidated small sailboats can be regarded as members of the sea battle.

Burning from day to night, from dark to dawn. This sea is still burning, and the announcement that "there are not many reinforcements" is just a theoretical self-deception.

The flames spread across the ocean, and one warship after another was sunk, but there were still more ships.

Just like the small town and island where Zheng Li was stationed back then, its entire fleet consisted of only five wooden sailboats. Among the archipelagos of old, cheap wooden sailboats that rely on wind power are still the main force for shipping.

But as a battleship, the targeted incendiary bombing can probably kill it completely.

The Interceptors are not just newcomers, or to be precise, the newcomers are just an addition. A large number of mercenaries and official battlegroups have already entered the battlefield.

Some battle groups used the ships provided by Xingping City, and some even hired medium and large ships a long time ago, waiting to make a good fortune this time.

What else is more profitable than killing dozens or even hundreds of evil spirits with a single round of ammunition, and military exploits are wealth.

For many mercenaries who entered the battlefield for profit, compared with material consumption and ammunition consumption, the results of a ship's evil spirits are really profitable.

Not enough ammunition?Directly apply for logistics supplies, and the logistics ships will follow up immediately after placing an order, and the supply will be unlimited at the floor price.

God knows, for this day, how many munitions and logistics transport ships the digital people have prepared are inexhaustible.

This is not the biggest harvest. Several small interceptor boats actually reported the results of the Ghost General class!
Even if it is a powerful ghost general, if it is not a water ghost or has evolved the ability to breathe underwater, as long as it falls into the ocean, it will still be the result of death.

Yes, he's probably doomed to drown, but it's okay to erupt and drag some of the nearby human ships.

Take the ship?First, the ghosts who can't resist will board the ship. According to the plan, the ship will sink as soon as possible.

Even if the crew failed to sink the ship due to various reasons, other ships would sink it, how many times can the ghost general take it?
Even if he is ridiculously strong, the intercepting party will not be able to do much to him, but if he loses the ship for transportation, how much strength will he still have after swimming to support him?

Don't say this is unfounded worry, in fact, there have been many witness reports of high-ranking ghost soldiers and ghost generals swimming ashore on the battlefield. They were driven to the front line by Qiu Zhishan just after they arrived on the battlefield.

At this time, many people also discovered that although the number of ghost generals and ghost soldiers is terrifying, their ships are very outdated.

Moreover, their reinforcements came from all corners of the archipelago. Perhaps a few hundred people on a small island squeezed out two fishing boats and one reinforcement team.

Perhaps, their best biochemical warfare ships and warships were requisitioned by Qiu Zhishan. Perhaps, their lords took away most of the main force. Losing face in front of competitors, it is natural to take what is good.

Many small and medium-sized ships have driven away all the boats that can be sailed. For the ghost clan who are all soldiers, it is still the result of overloading the entire crew.

Now the second mobilization is going on, the port is empty, and they can only snatch the small fishing boats of the local ghost fisherman.

In a sense, taking away all the ships is also a powerful means to prevent the strong subordinates who stay behind from rebelling.
No matter how complicated the reasons are, the fact now is that in front of the human interception ships are a group of dilapidated and scattered "ancient ships".

The only trouble is that the number is too scary. The accumulation of countless years and the territorial dispersion mechanism of the archipelago make it impossible to know how many ships exist here. A few evil spirits dare to enter the sea by stepping on wooden boards. Yes, they are all small and medium-sized ships hundreds of times larger.

Even if there is one shot, let’s not mention that this is unrealistic. When the number reaches this point, intercepting "valuable targets" in the vast army has become a kind of gambling behavior. Egg, I can only wish the brothers in the back better luck.

What really needs to be intercepted is still the combat strength of high-level ghost soldiers and above, especially ghost generals. Every high-level ghost general who arrives on the battlefield will cause huge losses.

The latest order received by the human interceptors is to sink their ships first, and then keep a distance to avoid being seized by them. If their combat power is insufficient, they are allowed to swim over to support them. Exhausted combat power is greatly reduced, which is the material of cannon fodder.

But even if the headquarters in the rear repeatedly lowered the requirements, it was still too difficult to intercept.

After all, this is the old archipelago, an archipelago composed of countless small and medium-sized islands, and the sea is still a former plain area. This means that there is no limitation of continental plates.

Then, there is no strait that can be used as a strategic point. It is impossible to think about holding the checkpoint and waiting for reinforcements. There is no key point in the vast sea, or every area is a key point that cannot be relaxed.

Even if Xingping City took out tens of thousands of small and medium-sized warships accumulated over the years (the current environment can be regarded as a one-time man-made spiritual weapon), the performance of these ships is the existence of crushing ghosts and broken ships before they are scrapped. It is still the interception method of finding a needle in a haystack.

It's just that there are so many "needles" that everyone has gained, and it seems that the interception was successful.

But the increasingly pessimistic situation in the rear undoubtedly shows that there are still big problems in the first stage of interception.

Many "fish that slipped through the net" entered the battlefield with ghost generals and high-level ghost soldiers who had stayed behind, directly affecting the battle situation and adding a lot of pressure to Xingping City.

As a result, many interceptors strengthened their interception of medium-sized sailing ships and rare biochemical warfare ships. After all, ghost generals and high-level ghost soldiers are ghosts with relatively high status, and their cars should be relatively high-end.

The problem still exists. After countless years of accumulation, there are too many evil spirits. When the other side of the sea level is densely packed with "marine garbage", there are so many that people wonder if this is impossible to complete task.

The human side revises its strategy again, prioritizing the search for high-threat targets, and using special abilities and radars to lock on the ghost generals, but the effect is almost ineffective. A large number of ships are rushing over, so it is impossible to let them pass.

Even though the combat forces in the front tried to let go of those ships with only low-level evil spirits, and tried to track high-value targets with psionic radar, the number was too outrageous, and there were also super-high-energy-level divine shocks that erupted from time to time on the main battlefield in the rear. , all of which make the spiritual energy search device for man-made spiritual weapons quite unreliable.

Even if the ghost ship is found, it is one thing to stop it, but another thing to stop it. In the end, this temporary order was regarded as an invalid order.
At the same time, the human side has also confirmed that the number of ghost generals in the archipelago of the old days is much more than the official information provided through secret channels before.

Was it temporarily joined by other worlds?An independent who does not submit to the jurisdiction of Akiyama?Or was Qiu Zhishan hiding the real information from the very beginning?
The battlefield is still a place for no reason. The number of overflowing ghost generals has broken the balance, making the encirclement network even more unreliable. As a result, the pressure on the intercepting party and the main battlefield behind is far beyond expectations.

And the ghost general who mixed into the "ship group" is not the most difficult target to intercept.

All kinds of weird water ghosts and sea ghosts, not even recorded in the database of Xingping City, suddenly appeared on the front line, attacking the human fleet as the intercepting party.

There were several interception lines that were organized, but they were destroyed in the first wave of attacks. A high-level water system ghost general led a team to snipe small and medium-sized human interception ships.

The most terrible thing is that those ghost generals who try to "smuggle" encounter ghosts of the ocean type. With the existence of aura in their heads, they will abandon the ship and let the ghosts of the ocean type lead them to break through.

Whether diving or going around in circles, as long as you can complete the rescue mission, there is nothing you cannot do.

Zheng Li even saw his old acquaintance in it, the super toka ghost he greeted not long ago. God knows how it crawled out of the trench, but on the afternoon of the sixth day of the interception battle, Zheng Li did see it with his own eyes. That behemoth.

The place where the huge body emerged from the water was even like a floating garbage mountain, dragged by countless offspring and sea ghosts, it moved much faster than expected.

It is like a scrap pile of scrap iron being pulled by countless tugboats, heading towards the battlefield at a slow and firm speed.

At this point, everyone has noticed that this is no longer within the scope of a ghost king.

Asking the ghost clan to support Qiu Zhishan at all costs is beyond the prestige of the ghost king. Now even this kind of ghost clan creature that only relies on instinct to act has joined the battle. There is either a higher-level order behind it, or there is simply the will of the world Get involved directly.

From some captured captives, human beings learned that even the lowest-level ghost soldiers have received "warnings" from their instincts.

"They instinctively realized that as long as Autumn Mountain is defeated and this world is freed from the control of the ghost clan's big space, all ghost clans will be deprived of their ghost clan identities. To put it bluntly, they will all die."

The possibility of the ghost clan losing its ghost clan identity and ghost clan cells surviving is not high at all.

Perhaps, this is the reason why all ghost creatures, even low-intelligence sea ghosts, joined the battle.

The super mound ghost takes itself as the core, and there are at least double-digit ghost ships and ghost mechanical giant sharks around it. It looks like an aircraft carrier battle group armed to the teeth, but even so, the speed of a canoe is still impressive. It is doubtful that it will reach the battlefield before the end of the war.

Tsuka Oni had seen several of them these days, but this one felt a little too much, and the frontline interceptors just let it go.

Perhaps, he felt that it was impossible to arrive in time, or perhaps, he made gestures with the size of the two sides, thinking that it was impossible to be stopped at all.

In fact, such a large pile of drifting objects is an extremely difficult project even if it is destroyed by normal explosion. Considering its size and mass, Zheng Li thinks that it should not float when it comes to science. But the battlefield never talks about The reason, no matter how unreasonable a difficult environment may be in front of you, if you really encounter it, you can only admit that you are unlucky and find a way to solve it.

"Just let us pretend we didn't see it."

Zheng Li's peace battle group was also assigned a small assault boat, a small military transport boat that can carry two carts. It is indeed small, and the smaller ones cannot carry the cart and cannot support the cart. In the field of defense, there is basically no actual combat value.

It's just that this ship has experienced nearly a week of torture, and two of the four psychic engines have broken down, and the remaining two are struggling within the range of the firefly cart. But it is still a pretty good ship The ship, the iron-skinned assault speedboat with dual power of psionic energy and mechanical power, is indeed first-class in terms of power, and so far no prey can escape its pursuit.

The "mountain of rubbish" in front of us is about to collide with the line of defense. Some ships are already giving up their positions. The sporadic artillery fire hits it with only fireworks but no response. Being hit by it is equivalent to actively choosing to commit suicide.

Zheng Li also planned to avoid them. He didn't think meaningless sacrifice was a good thing until he took a serious look at them.

"Where are the blueprints? Where were the blueprints when its organs were stolen?"

Zheng Li hastily flipped through the previous records, and took out a sketch of the flow of psychic energy. In order to carry out the task of "stealing", Zheng Li drew the distribution and direction of the psychic energy of the super toka ghost's whole body.

After a quick glance at the drawings and a comparison, Zheng Li gasped, and then directly contacted the surrounding ships and temporary headquarters.

"Over there, there are more than ten ghost generals! Whether to intercept or not, please make a decision as soon as possible!"
