Chapter 532 Disaster
Outside the sunshine of Dawn No. 1, the light of the God of Light disappeared, but the darkness did not return.
There is no light or darkness in the sky of Earthsea, only a gray nothingness.
But if you insist on saying that gray is not quite like it, the translucent hazy feeling always feels like something is there.
"How could this be...what the hell is going on?" Charles looked at everything in front of him in shock.
Before he can figure out whether this is a harbinger of returning to darkness.
"Boom~!" There was a deafening sound, and the pitch-black tower in the distance slammed heavily on the greenhouse.
Immediately following the violent shaking, Hope Island's greenhouse began to have a chain reaction and collapsed continuously, and there were constant cries and exclamations below.
Charles was just about to go to stop it all. His excellent eyesight saw something appearing on the sea in the distance. Something that would never have been near the sea before.
Looking at those wriggling tentacles, weird bodies, and organs beyond human imagination, Charles immediately understood the identity of these things, and these were monsters in the sea.
The monsters were only half as small as a human being, and the tall ones were tens of meters high. They rushed up towards the pier following the tsunami caused by the earthquake.
Charles felt tense when he saw this scene. These things are much more dangerous than collapsed houses. He quickly turned over and said to Anna under the shed, "There are enemy attacks all around the island! Sound the enemy attack alarm immediately!!"
After the confession, Charles quickly ran wildly on the collapsed shed, and the bandages lived by the pier!
When he saw those ferocious monsters devouring his islanders with their terrifying mouths open, Charles rushed straight up.
"Om~" A six-legged monster covered in green hair was cut in half by Charles' chainsaw.
The green blood dripped on the face without even caring to wipe it. Transparent tentacles with white arcs protruded from Charles' body, and swung around violently. With Charles as the center, a large number of monsters around him suddenly fell down.
At this time, Charles was completely different from before, facing these monsters in the water alone without any weakness.
Following his frantic attack, the corpses in front of him piled up rapidly, to the point where he was almost completely buried in the end.
These monsters are intelligent. Seeing that Charles was so difficult to deal with, these monsters immediately changed direction and surrounded Charles.
"Chi~" A mass of black liquid similar to hot oil rushed from the side, Charles dodged and was drenched all over, a strong burning sensation came from his skin, and thick white smoke floated from his body.
As soon as Charles wiped the liquid off his face with his hands, the monsters took advantage of this opportunity to rush forward.
Seeing that Charles was about to be overwhelmed, there was a loud bang, and the monster in front of him was directly blown out of a large space, with body parts and flesh and blood splashing everywhere.
Charles, who was covered in blood, turned his head and looked. It was the front gun of the watchtower at the pier. The naval counterattack on Hope Island had begun!
The sound of cannon fire was only one or two at the beginning, and gradually the sound of cannon fire became more and more intensive. Facing these terrifying monsters, human weapons began to dominate.
Cannonballs continued to bombard the periphery of Hope Island as if they didn't need money, and the monsters rushed towards the island as if they didn't want their lives. The entire pier was completely smashed.
But in the end, humans won the victory. This sudden war lasted for more than four hours and finally stopped, and no more sea monsters came ashore.
Anna finally found Charles, who was leaning against the dead body and gasping for breath, in a sea of corpses and blood.
"Charles, I think something is wrong. I'm afraid this matter is not over yet. The earthquake and the attacks of these things are very abnormal." Anna said with her brows furrowed.
Charles raised his head tiredly to look at the gray sky, raised his right foot and stomped violently, and a huge deformed monster's head burst open beside him. "Fuck! Nothing good ever happens in this shitty place!!"
After venting a bit, Charles stood up and walked towards the Governor's Mansion. "Anna, you are in charge of other people's rescue and protection against the next attack. I will go to the telegraph office to see what is happening on other islands. I want to see if this kind of disaster only belongs to Hope Island, or the entire Earth Sea is affected. attack."
In the Hope Island Telegraph Bureau, as the sound of telegrams kept ringing, various situations in the Earth Sea were sent. The good news is that the tsunami caused by the earthquake can only have such an impact in the North Sea.
But the bad news is that all the islands in the Earth Sea were attacked by the monsters in the sea. There was not much to say in the telegram, but a few words were enough for Charles to guess the tragic situation of various islands.
It has only been one year since the death ray attack, and most of the islands have not recovered from that disaster. The sudden encounter once again made the human world worse.
Some of the islands could not be contacted at all. I don't know if it was because Ma, who was dealing with sea monsters, had no time to send a telegram, or had a worse ending.
Just as Charles watched the telegrams sent by the islands and his heart sank, Julio, the governor of Cat Island, sent a large series of telegram codes.
After the staff quickly analyzed it, they found that it was a magic circle, not Ftan's sacrificial circle, but more like the magic circle of the mages in the Western Sea Region.
Charles knew that the other party would not do useless things in such a crisis, so he immediately asked people to start drawing according to the telegram.
According to the above, the last part of the magic circle should be filled with fine sand, and Charles did the same.
Not long after, the magic circle began to emit purple light, and the sand on it began to shake and float, and finally formed a sand shadow formed by two sands.
One is Julio, and the other is an old man with a beard almost hanging down to the ground. He is Harhold, the patriarch of the Woz family in the Western Sea Region, and he is the representative of the strongest family in the Western Sea Region.
"What? Didn't the people from Fortan come? They shouldn't be affected by the sea monster, right?" the old mage Harhold spoke first.
Before Charles could answer the call with Julio, the old man said again: "You two, this kind of communication circle consumes a lot of money, with 100,000 echoes per minute. After the meeting, please remember to transfer the money through the Bank of England."
"Enough!" Julio's deep voice exploded in the room like a muffled thunder.
"During such a crisis, do you know what to say?!"
Looking at Julio's almost cannibalistic eyes, Harhold stopped talking.
Charles looked at the two people in front of him, thought for a few seconds, and said to them, "Do you have any clues about the sea monster attack?"
Julio glared directly at Charles with eagle-like eyes. "I should ask you for me! When the God of Light was out of trouble, you were by his side, but now the God of Light has changed so much when his light disappears. What's going on?"
