Chapter 524 Something Is Wrong
The torpedo dived underwater and directly plunged into the steamship of the Fortan believers. The iron shell burst and shattered piece by piece, the turbine cabin exploded and caught fire, and a huge ball of fire rose loudly on the sea surface.
The Fortan religion couldn't hold on any longer, the land of the gods had turned into a sea of flames, and various temples and buildings were constantly being burned.
Civilian casualties were high above. Their desperate cries did not slow down the flames. Some people tried to jump into the sea to escape, but they were killed by the sunlight in the sky before swimming a few steps. There were corpses everywhere on the sea.
"Continue the transaction? Now that the transaction continues? Why didn't you say that the transaction continued when you raped my man just now?" Anna twisted her tentacles, opened the big mouth in the center of her body and roared angrily.
As her tentacles rolled vigorously, a deep diver's head was crushed instantly, and red and white splashed everywhere.
After seeing this scene, Shining next to him stretched out his tentacles to follow suit.
"Charles!! There are already enough dead people, do you really want to die with us? Do you really think that these people are the real strength of the Fortan Cult? And don't forget, the control of your body is in our hands !!"
Hearing this, Charles showed a ferocious expression on his face. At this moment, these guys actually dare to threaten him!
Just when the order to fight to the death was about to be issued, the voice of Commodore Roves suddenly sounded from the loudspeaker
"Governor! The War Department found that something is wrong with the ships coming over! They are changing their formation in an attempt to block our fleet's retreat!"
Hearing this, Charles' heart skipped a beat, and his bleeding brain immediately calmed down.
Frowning, he turned his head to look at the skeleton ship that was gradually approaching. "Could it be that the Diwa tribe conspired with the Fortan religion, and they came here to help Fortan?"
But when he thought of the agreement that the octopus head requested for a truce, Charles vetoed this decision.
"Governor, the staff of the Operations Department agree that it is not suitable to continue fighting now. If those ships are really here to deal with us, the defeat rate is almost 100%!"
Seeing the skeleton ship getting closer and closer in the distance, Charles' mind turned quickly. "Damn it, what are the decision makers of the Hek tribe thinking?"
Now there are two possibilities in front of him, or they are really here to help him, and he can work with these giants to completely solve the worries of the Fortan Cult.
Either they came to teach Fortan, and if that was the case, the entire Hope Island naval fleet and themselves would be buried here when they fully entered the arena.
Although he was in the sea of mist and once rescued a ship of the Hek tribe, this kind of favor is nothing in the face of such a big situation.
After a few seconds of hard thinking, Charles finally didn't dare to bet. Now he has to take care of more, and all his concerns are on the boat.
Compared with the trouble of annihilating the Fortan Cult, the lives of her own crew are more important to Anna Shining.
Following the orders of the commanders on both sides, the artillery fire slowly stopped.
At the same time, the skeleton ship fleet of the Haike tribe also stopped at the same place, not getting any closer. Not only did Charles feel suspicious of this situation, but even the people of the Fortan Cult also felt very suspicious.
The two parties to the truce continued to speculate on the purpose of their arrival. But speculation is guesswork, the previously abolished transaction still needs to be carried out.
On the deck of a ship that was still intact, Charles, who was tightly bound, was surrounded by a group of guards, Anna, and Shining, and slowly drove towards the eleven people floating towards this side.
One of the octopus heads was directly swallowed by Anna at the cost of four tentacles during the battle with Anna.
"Governor Charles, you are really good at picking the right time. You just started the war when we were at our weakest. If it was the Fortan Sect before, your people would not even be able to enter the East China Sea." Okert was not reconciled. Speaking of.
Charles was released from the restraints on his body, and was supported weakly by Anna. "Don't be so hard-headed. So you, the Fortan Cult, only show off your words? Do you want to trade or not?"
There was a hint of anger in Octor's eyes, but in the end he was restrained abruptly. "What kind of trading method are you going to do?"
"It's very simple. You release my body control now, and then perform a ceremony to heal my crew. As a reward, I will tell you the location of Fortan."
Facing Charles' proposal, Eckert strongly refused, "It's impossible! I'll do everything first. What if you get the benefits and go back on your word?"
Charles sneered. "I regret it? Why don't you say who did it first? You bastards fucked me!!"
Although the two sides talk tough, but under the current situation, they don't want to fight anymore. Finally, after the negotiation between the two sides, they formulated new trading rules.
The Fortan Church held a ceremony to heal the crew first, then Charles told them the exact location of Fortan, and finally, let the Fortan Cult completely release the control of Charles' body.
A deal where both sides are enemies is such a troublesome thing, Zhao is always on guard against the other party's actions.
Although both parties were not very satisfied with this situation, they both tacitly agreed after taking a look at the skeleton ship fleet in the distance.
The bloody ceremony started again, this time the sacrifices were some wounded, and the population of the land of the gods was further reduced. The Fortan sect also tried to ask Charles to offer some sacrifices, but Charles strongly refused.
While the ceremony was being held, Roves, the commander of the fleet, came to Charles and reported to him the loss of the navy.
"Governor, there is only one of the five airships left, and the casualty rate of the navy is almost over 30%. During the period, the headquarters was attacked once, and Brigadier General Locke died. Four military staff officers died."
Locke was one of the twelve captains who explored Hope Island with Charles, and he didn't expect to die here.
Hearing this, Charles felt a pain in his heart, and looked at the octopus head in the distance with extreme hatred in his eyes.
This is the death of tens of thousands of people. Originally, all of this could have been avoided. The conflict between the Fortan Cult and itself has not yet ended. Although the conflict has been suppressed this time, these guys must pay the price for the death of these people!
Ana patted Charles on the shoulder with a tentacle. "It's okay, their losses will only be greater than ours. After all, the battlefield is right in front of their house, and the land of the gods is almost burned to ashes."
Charles showed a forced smile to the unrecognizable Anna, followed by Roves in black military uniform. "The matter is not over yet, let everyone cheer up, now is not the time to rest, and beware of their tricks again."
With a firm expression, Roves raised a military salute to Charles, "Don't worry, Governor! Various plans have been drawn up by the War Department, and the Navy of Hope Island is by no means easy to mess with!"
