Realm of Power

Aden Ansi

Dense shells exploded in the center of the densely populated city, like small whirlpools. The panicked Aden people instinctively hid in the surrounding buildings, while more people ran on the streets, trying to rush back to their homes. , to save their loved ones, some people were torn apart by the impact of the explosion on the street, and their fragmented limbs flew everywhere,

"Hulala" the flame is burning,

The screaming and panicked residents of Moroka were running hurriedly. Everything that happened here was beyond their ability to accept and understand. For a while, they were not fully aware of it. Why would something like this happen to me? The people of Aden, who were under the cover of artillery fire, had only the simplest thought, and that was to escape for their lives.

However, in which direction can they escape?

In their frightened eyes, they could clearly see that objects with long black tails were constantly roaring towards them. No matter which direction they fled, there was no guarantee that they would have a chance to escape. On the streets, there were people coming towards them. There were people running for their lives in this direction, and there were people running for their lives in that direction. They crowded and collided with each other, and everyone rolled into a ball. At the last moment of their lives, they no longer concealed themselves, either scolding their opponents or looting. They looted supplies and even fought and killed each other.

In the black smoke rising from the shells, the location affected by the explosion also collapsed.

These Aden-style domed high-rise buildings look very majestic and luxuriously decorated, but in fact, the houses in Aden adopt a structure that combines wood and brick walls. The beams of the houses broke under the impact of the shell explosion, and the huge buildings The building collapsed, and the whole thing collapsed. Not only were all the people inside buried alive, but even the nearby streets were completely blocked by bricks rolling down like a mudslide.

Some shells directly hit the brick walls or windows of high-rise buildings and exploded directly inside the high-rise buildings. The consequences were even more serious. The entire building seemed to be squeezed and exploded. The walls shattered outwards and bricks flew everywhere. It was like a rain of bricks, smashing the Aden people who were running in panic below until blood was all over the ground, and they were even completely submerged by the torrent of bricks.

Aden Anxi was crying. The streets were full of blood, and the thick plasma flowed into the sewers along the street drains.

The royal winter palace located in the center of Anxi, Aden, has yellow glazed tiles that look particularly gorgeous under the sunset, and the huge palace stone pillars form a solemn picture. At this moment, it was naturally the key target of the Imperial Navy. The Imperial Navy's artillery shells fell mercilessly on this landmark building that was once regarded as the prosperous Aden. The glazed tiles were blown into the air and then shattered into pieces.

The dream-like man-made aerial waterfall in the noble area disappeared without a trace after a roar. Only water bubbles kept popping up. The structure of the entire Winter Palace is very grand, and there are many tall buildings. It is used by the royal family of Aden. It took thirty years to finally complete. As a landmark building in Aden Anxi, it is the first thing that anyone who sees the great city of Aden Anxi notices.

And now it's been destroyed, and it hasn't even taken thirty minutes yet.

Destruction is always faster than construction! Musoni, standing on the bridge of the Dragon Tooth Battleship, murmured lowly. Through the lookout glass in his hand, he could see that under the fierce fire of the Imperial Navy, the Aden Winter Palace was trembling and shaking, and the outer walls were building layer by layer. The bricks collapsed, layer upon layer, and the broken bricks were like a torrent rolling in with an unstoppable force. The posture smashed everything below to pieces. The servants who were hiding from the bombardment under the podium were knocked to the ground by the merciless bricks. Most of the people hiding inside did not have time to run out. Even if Not dead, it is not easy to climb out of these collapses!

The streets are red, that is the blood that collects from the streets into the sewers. The sky was red, a reflection of burning, crumbling streets. The sea of ​​​​fire was extremely cruel, as if the earth was collapsing. Because too many people died, dark red blood began to flow out of the city's sewers.

"Rumble"

"Rumble"

The Imperial Navy's volley of artillery fire was like two crossed fire dragons swinging from side to side, dancing crazily in the city of Aden. Any place that was looked at by the fire dragon's murderous and deathly eyes immediately turned into a sea of ​​smoke and fire. The high-rise buildings full of romantic atmosphere in the Gulf of Aden collapsed one after another. In the thick smoke, the desperate Aden people ran helplessly. They dragged their children with them and frantically searched for a safe area. Some people even had no clothes on. The Dragon Tooth warships all change the side of the ship where they shoot from time to time on the sea, and use the guns on both sides alternately. In order to save space,

A burning city, with fierce burning fires everywhere. The fires turned half of the sky red and lasted for a long time.

After a brief pause, the Imperial Navy launched another bombardment

Thirty-seven fully-armed Dragon Teeth battleships, each with twelve Thor cannons on the side strings, totaling nearly four hundred Thor cannons, aimed at Ansiadin for intermittent attacks, which seemed to be very powerful. , but in fact, for a city as large as Ansiadin, every falling cannonball is like a small drop of water falling in the sea. It can only ripple gently on the sea surface, which is almost useless for the entire sea. Not painful or itchy

Concentrating firepower is the focus of artillery tactics. As an experienced naval admiral and one of the top five artillery masters in the Imperial Navy, Musoni immediately established the idea of ​​concentrating firepower in the most prosperous areas of the city. The Aden Royal Winter Palace is the center of the surrounding area. In this case, when four hundred imperial thunder gods gather to bombard a certain area, an overwhelming momentum will immediately come out.

Covering, destroying, burning, black smoke enveloped most of the city, the fire was blazing, and dense shells fell on that area like raindrops.

Whether there are any important targets in that area is no longer important.

No matter what was there, the continuous violent explosions, the back and forth ravages of artillery fire, repeated explosions, and then explosions, like a digging maniac, seemed to toss the entire area over and over again, until the ground on the mast The lookout post reported that no large-scale buildings could be seen there anymore, and only then did the Imperial Navy's artillery fire begin. They began to move to the pier and smashed all the piers and moored merchant ships there. The fleeing crowd ran up the seawall desperately and broke into the city in a sea of ​​fire. Some of the brave ones seemed to be Anxiadin. The city guards rushed to the coastline and mobilized the trebuchets in the port to fight back against the Imperial Navy on the sea.

However, the distance of the catapult was too far, and the range was only two hundred meters. The flying stones began to fall about a hundred meters in front of the Imperial Navy, and the water column tumbled.

There are also some Aden sailors who bravely untied the ship's cables from the remaining docks, and then drove the almost safe and unarmed ships. They rushed towards the Imperial Navy hysterically. Obviously, they tried to rely on their own flesh and blood to block the Imperial Navy's bombardment. What they got in exchange was an understatement of "sink them" by the Imperial Navy Commander Musoni.

The artillery shells on the Dragon Tooth battleship passed over the sea and exploded on the merchant ships one after another. The merchant ships were riddled with holes, as if they had been hit by a flood, and were left bare. Some smaller merchant ships sank on the spot. The larger merchant ships were circling on the sea. Although the penetration power of Thor Cannon 1 cannot completely tear apart the entire merchant ship, it is enough to shatter the decks of these merchant ships.

Especially the chain-ball bullets connected by iron chains turned into a series of bullet holes and a rain of blood on these merchant ships. Looking through the telescope, the "Aden Navy" that relied on a moment of courage to piece together looked like Dancing in the hail of bullets, being beaten and scarred all over, and finally torn to pieces

"Rumble"

Suddenly, a violent explosion occurred in the city of Aden Anxi. I don’t know what was hit. The fire that shot up into the sky shook the entire city of Aden Anxi. The strong vibration even triggered waves, causing the dragons of the Imperial Navy to The Japanese battleships rippled slightly with the ocean. As a result, this round of artillery fire was all fired far away and landed on the coast behind the port.

"What's going on?"

Musoni held on to the bridge tightly to avoid falling to the ground like other sailors. Even he was obviously frightened by the super violent vibration. One can imagine how terrifying the explosion in the city was. On the sea The Imperial Navy's bombardment even stopped, and all the Imperial Navy sailors looked at Ann in surprise. In the direction of Siading, what was that just now... Mushroom-like gray smoke appeared in the sky above Ansiading. At this moment, a huge shock wave violently spread to the sea. Crash, water splashed violently on the side of the battleship. , all the imperial sailors on the deck were hit by the wind and waves, and they staggered around a lot.

"Oh my god, the ground is cracking!"

"The target seems to be cracked!"

"The cracked area is still expanding!"

"Oh my god, what the hell is going on?"

The panicked voice reached Musoni's ears, and Musoni was dumbfounded by the unexpected situation in front of him.

Because the Anxi Din in front of us is indeed cracking. Even on the sea hundreds of meters away, a huge crack can be seen appearing in the city of Ansi, Aden. This huge crack is like a black centipede, a main body. Surrounding the cracks are small cracks like spider webs. These small cracks look very small, that’s because they are what the Imperial Navy has seen.

At the scene of the incident, each small crack was two or three meters wide. In the areas affected by the cracks, houses collapsed along the line, as if there was a huge monster underground struggling to crawl out of these cracks. Panic was contagious. He killed everyone, and running away became a subconscious choice for the people of Aden. They scrambled to escape, and many old and weak residents and children were trampled to death, but no one cared about them. In a city with a million people, when everyone wanted to escape, no matter what was in front of them, Whoever they are, people will trample them under their feet without hesitation.

In Musoni's ears, he could even feel the sound of the city cracking apart. This was an absolutely impossible situation. Musoni was still so far away from Ansiaddin, and he soon knew why there was such a sound. There is a sound, the sound comes from the sea,

"Gududu"

It was as if countless things were beginning to wake up in the sea water. Large areas of water bubbles appeared on the surface of the sea. Under the sea water, there were countless seemingly huge dragons running in the opposite direction of Aden Anxi. The sea water was boiling. It was like a pair of invisible big hands pressing on the sea. Even the well-informed imperial sailors were so frightened that their faces turned pale. The experienced old sailors shouted that those were various schools of fish in the sea running for their lives. When the huge Before the natural disaster, the perception of animals far exceeded that of humans.

"Instruct the fleet to stop the bombardment and immediately turn to evacuate."

Musoni woke up from the unexpected situation and ordered loudly with a serious voice. Anxiadin's changes reminded him of a terrible phenomenon, an earthquake. His bombardment may have hit somewhere, which resulted in Anxiadin's overall A huge earthquake, the original concentrated area of ​​damage was only Asia The area around Dingdong Palace was only three or four miles away, but now it has spread to the entire Aden and Anxi. The shock wave of the earthquake does not distinguish between sea and land. Even the Imperial Navy that swept across the Oubaluo Sea area will not be affected by this kind of natural disaster. The situation in front of me is also extremely fragile. If I don’t run now, I’m afraid I won’t be able to run away later.

The Dragon-class battleship of the Imperial Navy turned hastily, and the sails were fully extended. Under the sea wind, they quickly bulged into convex spherical shapes. The triangular bow of the Dragon-class battleship was like a razor, and it was beginning to split heavily. the turbulent sea

On October 6, an earthquake unexpectedly occurred in Anxi, Aden

At the headquarters of the Aden Navy, Commander-in-Chief of the Aden Navy Idisa was stunned when he received the news of a major earthquake in Anxi, Aden. He asked twice in disbelief, is the news accurate? It wasn't until the officer who reported the report repeated it twice that he finally accepted the report with hesitation. He glanced over and felt that his eyes were darkened. The Imperial Navy's invasion of the Gulf of Aden was only a squadron. Strategically, it was only a trial. Even if it was Let this imperial squadron pour all the Thor artillery shells on Aden Anxi. For the area of ​​40 to 50 miles in Aden Anxi, at most it will destroy one-tenth of Aden Anxi.

That's why the King of Aden dared to make such a bet, exchanging one-tenth of Aden Anxi for the main force of the Imperial Navy to enter the Gulf of Aden. It was worth it!

The importance of Anxi in Aden to the Kingdom of Aden cannot be said in words. It is the largest trading port in the Gulf of Aden and accounts for one-tenth of the Kingdom of Aden's fiscal revenue. It is also the hometown of Edisa himself.

"Get your horses ready immediately and go to Anxi, Aden"

Edisa's eyes were red. He had to confirm such an important thing in person. He personally led his subordinates on horseback to Aden Ansi. Along the way, we have seen a large number of fleeing Moroka residents, all of them with expressions of panic that cannot be described in words. Many people have black marks on their faces and bodies, and many people have injuries all over their bodies. It was all blood. It was already midnight when he arrived, and the city that was still burning in front of him felt strange to him. He had lived in Anxi, Aden for more than thirty years, and was familiar with every plant and tree here, and every block here. , however, now, he couldn't tell the difference at all. Edisa couldn't believe that this was Aden Anxi, the Aden Anxi he was familiar with.

Facing the devastated ruins and facing the suffocating stench of the victims' corpses being mercilessly burned in the air, Idisa looked pale and looked at the cracks everywhere on the ground.

All high-rise buildings, as long as they are more than two stories high, have basically suffered varying degrees of damage. Only the low-rise bungalows have survived, but these low-rise bungalows are also burning in the raging fire. Large areas are collapsing, and the sea breeze is particularly fierce.

Wind helps fire

The entire city was in a vast sea of ​​​​fire. The city guards of Aden Anxi were fighting, but to no avail.

And honestly. With such an endless ruin, Isadi didn't even feel the need to save the place.

Aden Anxi, the greatest city in the Kingdom of Aden, has truly and completely disappeared from this world.
