Industrial Cthulhu, starting from the island lord

Chapter 254 The Total Collapse of the Front

The soldiers hurriedly looked down and saw that the sea was indeed gradually filling up the ground beneath the monsters. Could it be that this seawater would not only drown everything, but also make the monsters stronger!?

Fear flashed across the captain's face, and then he gritted his teeth and shouted, "Don't be afraid, we still have the airship! Keep firing, maintain the suppression, and don't stop!"

Then, he turned to look at Kyle and said, "Kyle, go report this matter to Lord Alexi!"

Kyle nodded sharply: "Yes!"

He quickly ran down the stairs into the basement, and then followed the signs in the webway all the way to the command post.

Although it was said that Alexei was being informed, in fact, it was only necessary to tell the combat staff at the command post. Sir Alexei was very busy, and he was not qualified to report directly.

The command post was full of busy people. Kyle hesitated for a moment and was about to ask the guards when he suddenly heard someone calling his name.

"Kyle!"

When he turned around, he was surprised to find that the man was the lord of this place, Count Hughes. He was stuffing biscuits into his mouth while reading the battle report. His face was pale, and a motionless sea snake was hanging around his neck.

He actually recognized himself?
Kyle was a little flattered, but Hughes showed a tired smile: "I saw you before with Chloe. You were as strong as a bear. You had to lower your head when passing through the door."

Kyle scratched his head sheepishly. He still remembered his mission and hesitated before speaking, "My Lord, our captain sent me to report. We've noticed seawater rising. While it's not a threat to the fortress yet, monsters standing in the water will be strengthened!"

"Monsters standing in the sea will be strengthened!?"

"Yes, those murlocs have become harder to kill. They used to be killed with one bullet, but now sometimes even several bullets don't work."

"Richard! Use [Self-binding] immediately and pull me into your sight!" Zeus turned around and shouted without hesitation.

Kyle saw that Hughes' eyes were dull for a moment, as if he was thinking about something. After a while, he raised his head with shock in his eyes.

"It's really troublesome now."

Hughes swallowed the biscuits in two or three bites, turned and ran to the command room. His voice came from inside: "This news is very important. I will tell Alexi. You should return to the team first!"

Kyle saluted hastily, agreed loudly, and then trotted back in the direction he came from.

He was somewhat happy that the information he reported was actually taken seriously. Perhaps this could change the situation of the battle and save a few more people.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but lighten his steps. Although the lights in the webway were a little dim, the ground here was flat and very easy to walk on.

boom!
Suddenly, a loud noise was heard and the entire webway shook. Kyle held onto the wall to avoid falling.

Could this be another airship dropping one of those giant bombs? But the sound doesn't seem like it.
Kyle had a bad feeling in his heart. When he came up from the basement, he didn't go to the fortress first, but first looked at the observation hole. It was this look that made him feel his heart skip a beat.

In the distant west fortress, there was a huge monster with arms. No, that was not an arm monster, it was a huge ball covered with spikes, like a sea urchin. After accumulating a little strength, it instantly crossed a distance of dozens of meters and slammed into the reinforced concrete fortifications!
boom!
A loud noise, as if a bomb was ignited, exploded on the western wall of the fortress.

The fortress on the west side shook slightly, visibly, but the excellent shear resistance of reinforced concrete allowed it to withstand the impact.

If we only look at this sea urchin monster, it should be
boom! boom! boom! boom! boom!
With a series of bombardments, the sea urchin monsters all over the battlefield instantly crossed most of the battlefield and crashed into the fortress. The lead-gray reinforced concrete was suddenly filled with sea urchins covered with spikes!
Even the solid permanent fortifications collapsed in half under the impact of this huge force. Kyle saw that the Crusaders in the fortifications were exposed on the battlefield. Some of them were still standing, while some had been crushed by the bricks and stones. The fishmen rushed up like a tide in an instant.

A tall figure suddenly appeared in front of the gap. Ash, dressed in heavy armor, was like a wall, with six arms holding several Gatling guns and firing outside!
"Retreat! Retreat from the webway!" She shouted loudly to the Crusaders behind her. The firepower of the heavy machine gun successfully suppressed the tide of monsters for a moment.

After crashing down the western fortress, the sea urchin monsters gathered their strength again. Ash's machine gun bullets swept over them, leaving only tinkling sounds. The spikes were so hard that they could actually withstand the bullets' attacks!
The sea urchin monsters quickly completed their charge and instantly crashed into Ash!

But Ash had already hidden in the webway just before they rushed over, and they missed.

Kyle felt relieved and subconsciously wanted to pray, but soon his eyes widened.

Those sea urchin monsters changed direction and aimed at the fortress where he was!

"Damn, damn, damn!"

Kyle turned around immediately. He had to hurry up and call his team to take cover. Bullets were no match for those sea urchin monsters. This fortress could not be defended!

But before he could take two steps, a huge crash sounded above his head!

boom!
boom! boom!
Kyle felt his vision go dark and his ears were filled with sharp ringing. He gritted his teeth and crawled towards the stairs using his hands and feet.

boom! boom! boom!
He was almost shaken off the stairs. When he looked up, he was horrified to find that he could actually see the sky - a huge hole was torn in the sturdy fortress, and the hideous sea urchin monster was already in front of him!
They knocked down a corner of the fort!
The political commissar rushed over from the stairs, holding two unconscious people in his hands. He was stunned for a moment when he saw Kyle, and then shouted something loudly, but Kyle could no longer hear him.

But he understood what the political commissar meant, so he pulled the two men over and rushed down the stairs into the basement.

After putting the two people down, several more people rushed down and fell to the ground. Kyle had no time to take care of them. He had severe tinnitus and dizziness, but he still rushed up the stairs without hesitation.

The political commissar, the captain, and several others are on it!

After rushing up the stairs, Kyle looked outside through the cracks in the concrete. Several heavily armored banshees were fighting with more than a dozen sea urchin monsters. They were almost unable to hold on for a moment as he watched.

Kyle gritted his teeth, turned his head, rushed forward and pulled two more people down.

After settling the two people, when he went up again, the political commissar and the captain also retreated. Kyle breathed a sigh of relief and was about to turn around and go down when suddenly there was a loud noise and a huge figure smashed over!
