Chapter 188 Spanish Letters
When the fleets of both sides were close to each other, about three or four hundred meters away, it was the plunderers who launched the first attack.
This surprised Glenn. You know, at such a long distance and fighting on a bumpy sea, even for professional soldiers, the hit rate of their bullets basically depends on luck.
However, the raiders on the opposite side were not fools. They were not stupid enough to use relatively backward civilian-grade firearms to attack them. Instead, they pushed out many iron crossbows that they found from somewhere, and very insidiously tied ignited cluster bombs to the heads of the crossbow arrows.
Glenn did not have much time to think. In a moment, dozens of burning crossbow arrows were fired from the dozen or so shabby canvas boats. Although the accuracy was not very good, more than a dozen crossbow arrows still hit the ships of the human fleet.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
There were flashes of fire and explosions. It was obvious that these looters were desperate guys. The explosives they tied to the crossbows were quite powerful. Even though the ships of the Human United Fleet were all metal structures, there were still one or two small boats that had huge holes blown out by the explosives. Seven or eight Human United Fleet soldiers were injured to varying degrees in the explosion.
Glenn frowned, not expecting that he would be attacked first. However, after the explosion, the soldiers of the Human Alliance were not to be outdone. They immediately took out many rocket launchers and fired shells at the wooden sailboats of the raiders.
Modern heavy weapons cannot be compared with the crossbows of hundreds of years ago, and wooden sailing ships cannot be compared with solid metal ships.
The rocket shells, with a string of fire, hit the raiders' sailboats at an extremely fast speed.
And the fierce attack was not over yet. Soon, soldiers reported to Glenn that the raiders on the sailboat who were attacked by them were not dead. Except for the unlucky ones who were blown to pieces by rockets, the other raiders, even after their bodies were burned, were still able to drag their broken bodies, stand up and attack the soldiers. They were like undead monsters.
Faced with such a corpse, Glenn and others were unable to obtain much information from this dead person.
And among the sprayed flesh and blood, and in the exploded places, a strange creature emerged that looked like a fusion of tentacles and insects.
Such chaos only disrupted their original battle rhythm. In less than a few minutes, under the command of Glenn and his lieutenants, the soldiers of the Human Alliance quickly organized a new battle plan and began to fight against different enemies in an orderly manner.
Upon hearing the news, Glenn frowned and was very surprised. He didn't expect that he would encounter such a group of strange enemies in the end after thinking it was just an ordinary extermination of looters.
The ignited explosive packs were handed over to the monsters by the plunderers. After receiving the explosive packs, the monsters immediately bulged their muscles and waved their huge arms, throwing the tens-kilogram explosive packs like shot put. They were thrown accurately near the human fleet, across a distance of several hundred meters, like human catapults.
They looked like strange tentacles covered with barbs, or like giant twisted and dancing insects. At the tips of these strange creatures were huge mouths full of sharp teeth.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
After mutating into such monsters, the plunderers became even more crazy. They twisted their limbs, endured the attacks of bullets, waved their tentacles, and finally jumped directly from the deck into the sea.
During this period, the plunderers' ships realized that the situation was not good and tried to escape, but facing such an enemy, the Human Union would never give them the chance to escape.
As time passed, the two sides chased for hundreds of nautical miles. Finally, the opposite sailboat was continuously attacked by the soldiers of the Human Alliance, and only the largest one was left.
Such a change also frightened everyone on the Human Alliance side. The monsters looked too hideous, even more terrifying than the mutated zombies they had seen.
For a moment, the battlefield became very chaotic. Some soldiers were attacking the raiders on the sailboats from a long distance and shooting at each other. Some soldiers were constantly replacing the ammunition of the rocket launchers, trying to destroy the opposite sailboat with the explosion. At the same time, more and more soldiers needed to guard against the insect monsters climbing up from the sea.
The looters on the ship fell into the sea like dumplings and disappeared. However, even so, no one heard any looters shouting for mercy.
After all, wooden sailboats are just fragile carriers. Faced with the continuous bombardment of rocket launchers, several sailboats were soon set on fire, and several others were directly blown to pieces by the violent explosions, turning into wreckage on the ocean.
The speed difference between the two sides could not be made up by the wooden sailboat in any way.
Glenn opened it and found that he did not recognize the words in the letter, but he could vaguely make out that the words on the letter seemed to be in Spanish.
Each of these weirdos was nearly three meters tall, with swollen muscles all over their bodies, just like the muscular monsters in some cartoons, twisted and terrifying. Even their facial features were all squeezed to the middle of their faces by the muscles, making them look extremely ugly.
In his hand was a golden revolver, the muzzle of the gun was stuffed into his mouth, and a bullet shattered the back of his head.
However, their resistance was ultimately futile. Although it caused some casualties to the Human Alliance soldiers, facing the elite team led by the members of the Stinger Squad, whether it was the mutant giants or the mutated insect monsters, facing attacks from submachine guns, shotguns, flamethrowers, rocket launchers and other weapons, these monsters were blown to pieces in the fierce artillery fire.
And these muscular freaks were obviously not brought on board the sailboat by the raiders for show.
Boom boom, boom boom!
There were more intense flames and explosions. This bomb attack caused considerable losses to the soldiers of the Human Alliance. Many people were affected by the explosion. Even the decks of some ships were blown up by the bomb packages, leaving huge holes.
When Glenn and his soldiers rushed into the bottom hold of the sailboat, what they saw was a strange man who had committed suicide in a very luxuriously decorated room.
As the two sides got closer, the soldiers' bullets were able to hit the raiders on the sailboat more accurately. However, amid the strange murmur of the horn, more and more injured raiders, after enduring many bullet attacks, exploded and mutated, with strange insect monsters growing from all parts of their bodies.
Glenn had been observing the battle between the two sides. When he saw those mutated insect monsters being shot and jumping into the sea, he instinctively thought that things could not be that simple.
It's like they are controlled by some force and are just a group of cannon fodder that can be sacrificed at any time.
As the battle lasted longer, more and more plunderers were killed by them, and the sailboats that were set on fire and damaged all sank to the bottom of the sea as time passed.
However, when the two sides got closer, Glenn discovered that the number of plunderers on the dozen or so broken sailing ships on the opposite side was more than he had imagined.
The sound of the horn was very loud and the soldiers on both sides could hear it clearly. It was a language that was indistinguishable to humans, as if it was a mixture of the sounds of various insects in the tropical rainforest.
When the Human Alliance soldiers saw that the enemy only had one sailboat left, they did not give in to any luck and used sniper rifles to kill all the enemies on the deck before controlling their fleet to approach.
Instead of engaging these looters at close range, they began to waste time with them, using long-range weapons such as sniper rifles to continuously kill the looters on the sailboat.
And those three-meter-tall strange giants who used explosions to create chaos also had their heads blown up by the sharpshooters of the Stinger Squad on the fleet using anti-material sniper rifles.
The gap in equipment between the two sides allowed the soldiers of the Human Alliance to slowly widen the gap in combat effectiveness between the plunderers. The abundant ammunition supplies blew up the bodies of these poor guys, turning them into disgusting weird bugs, while the opponent's backward weapons made it difficult to cause casualties to them at a long distance.
However, these plunderers obviously underestimated the strength of the Human Alliance soldiers. If they were facing amateur soldiers from other organizations, perhaps such a chaotic battle would catch the other side off guard, completely destroy the enemy's morale, and thus achieve victory.
Even at this time, the enemy had no intention of surrendering. After the Human Alliance soldiers boarded the ship, several strange giants three meters tall rushed up from the bottom warehouse, and behind them were hundreds of predators whose heads had turned into various horrible and hideous insect monsters.
Moreover, unlike the tall, mighty, strong and sturdy soldiers of the Human Alliance, the raiders on the sailboat included not only men, women, young and old, but most of them were pale and thin and could not be called warriors at all.
Fortunately, this sailboat may be the man's long-term vehicle, and this luxuriously decorated room not only contains various documents, but also a desk that seems to be where this guy handles official business, and some letters are stored in the drawers of the desk.
As for the plunderers on other ships, whether they transformed into strange bugs or huge giants, they were all sunk into the sea along with the sunken ships during the pursuit.
Jiligululu! Jiligululu!
Unknown language.
When they approached the human alliance's ship, these strange monsters immediately covered the surface of the ship with their tentacle-like limbs. Then, these strange limbs changed their climbing positions, as if they had suction cups, dragging their bodies and climbing upwards at an extremely fast speed. They actually climbed from the sea surface to the deck without relying on any tools.
If the raiders tried to escape, Glenn would command the fleet to catch up with them and launch a fierce attack, causing casualties and forcing them to stop and resist.
Under Glenn's command, the Human Alliance's fleet also began to speed up, keep a distance, and shake off the strange insects that were trying to climb up from the sea.
More violent explosions sounded, creating a series of holes and cracks in their sailboat. Several ragged raiders were blown to pieces, while more raiders covered in flames had their bodies set on fire and turned into torches.
The battle was still going on, with casualties on both sides. Just as the fleets of both sides were getting closer, some unusually tall and strange men suddenly walked out from the bottom hold of the plunderer's sailboat.
The Human Alliance soldiers didn't react to the sounds, but when the Plunderers heard the sounds, the expressions on their faces became even more ferocious and fanatical.
Then, hundreds of Confederate soldiers, armed with various weapons, boarded the sailboat from different directions.
But as mentioned before, the survivors who have survived the apocalypse have seen too many different kinds of horrible monsters. Although there is still some fear of the unknown in their hearts, the soldiers quickly cheered up, picked up their weapons and continued fighting.
Just when the soldiers thought the balance of victory was tipping towards the human fleet, a loud noise suddenly came from the horn of the largest sailboat in the middle of the plunderer's side, which was protected by many sailboats.
The man was dressed in luxurious clothes like those of a medieval noble, with thick foundation and lipstick on his face, which made his ugly fat middle-aged face look as pale as a dead person.
Faced with the sailboat that did not slow down at this time, the seven or eight huge ships of the Human Alliance directly used their hulls to cross the sea and intercepted the sailboat.
Especially those looters who had suffered varying degrees of injuries. When the sound from the loudspeaker reached their ears, their bodies trembled continuously with the sound. Then, in the surprised eyes of everyone, their heads and parts of their limbs exploded directly outwards like flesh and blood bombs.
However, not long after, amid the shouts of many soldiers, the insect monsters under the water swayed in the water at a very fast speed like sea snakes. They swayed their bodies, and in just a few minutes, they swam several hundred meters from the location of the predators to where the human fleet was.
But what they are facing is a human united community that has long implemented a policy of elite soldiers. Every soldier here is an excellent professional soldier who has graduated from a formal military academy and has been trained for more than three years.
However, as the battle continued to develop, although the soldiers of the Human Alliance suffered a certain degree of losses, the situation on the plunderers' side was even worse.
Under his telescope, he saw that the predators that transformed into insects did not float to the surface after entering the water. Instead, they sank directly to the bottom of the sea due to their own weight, and it was impossible to see their traces at all.
Although these strange giants did not die even after their heads were blown up, they had no eyes and the explosives they threw could no longer accurately hit the ships of the Human Alliance.
The soldiers obviously had not anticipated such a situation. After a brief moment of confusion, facing these enemies climbing out of the sea, they immediately cheered up and began to fight the monsters.
What surprised Glenn even more was that facing this battle with a huge disparity in strength, these predators were different from ordinary predators. Even when rockets exploded around them, everyone's face still showed a kind of fanaticism, numb fanaticism, firm fanaticism, they seemed to be completely unaware of fear, not afraid of injury, and not afraid of death.
Ferocious, bloody, and terrifying.
Although he didn't understand why a letter from Spain on the other side of the ocean appeared here, as a commander, this was not something he needed to consider.
All he needs to do is to collect as much intelligence as possible and finally hand it over to His Excellency the President for processing.
After ordering his men to move everything in the room, including the man's body, to his fleet, Glenn and his men began their return journey with the huge ship.
