Chapter 785 Barrier
However, what was truly disheartening was that no matter how desperately they swung their knives, stabbed with their swords, or fired their guns and cannons, the black barrier remained unbreakable, like an insurmountable chasm standing before them.
"What the hell is this thing?! How can it be so hard? I can't even scratch it!" A pirate with a full beard stared wide-eyed and roared in disbelief.
"Are we really going to be trapped here and die like this?" another small pirate asked in a trembling voice, his face filled with fear and helplessness.
Just then, someone suddenly shouted: "Hey everyone, look! It's getting dark!" In an instant, everyone's eyes turned to the sky above. The once clear and blue sky was now rapidly darkening at a visible speed, as if an invisible giant hand was slowly pulling up a huge and thick black curtain.
In the blink of an eye, the whole world was plunged into endless darkness.
Especially for those weaker kids, they were terrified at this moment.
After all, they don't possess the formidable strength and unwavering will of those seasoned, battle-hardened pirates.
Faced with this sudden turn of events, they were terrified and completely lost their composure; some even had their legs go weak and could barely stand.
As the black barrier continued to shrink and close, the originally bright light from the outside world was gradually blocked out.
The last sliver of light struggled to penetrate the thick darkness, barely allowing them to see each other's faces.
But even this pitiful glimmer of light could not dispel the thick gloom that shrouded everyone's hearts.
At this moment, not only were the pirates in chaos, but the opposing marines were also in a state of panic.
In such a dark and gloomy environment, even if the two sides were to engage in fierce combat, it would probably be difficult to distinguish who was on their side and who was the enemy.
A chaotic and bloody battle seemed poised to erupt at any moment...
"What on earth are the Celestial Dragons doing? How could they act like this? Don't they know that doing so will not only endanger the enemy, but also our own people?"
Many naval soldiers looked at the chaotic scene before them and couldn't help but ponder to themselves.
It was daytime, and no one had expected to encounter such a situation, so naturally no one had prepared the necessary lighting tools in advance.
"Perhaps the Celestial Dragons did this to deal with those vicious pirates. After all, they are our leaders; surely they wouldn't intentionally harm us, their loyal subordinates..."
Despite the doubts of their comrades, a considerable number of marines chose to remain steadfast in their belief, clinging to a sliver of hope.
The harsh reality soon proved how naive and childish their ideas were, because this so-called hope turned out to be nothing more than heartbreaking despair.
Just after Lord Im gave the order to wipe out everyone present, the four Elders were determined to reduce all life on the island to nothing.
This undoubtedly includes many innocent naval officers and soldiers.
"Get out here, all of you!" The four Elders shouted in unison, their voices shaking the heavens.
In an instant, the ground began to tremble and shake violently, as if a sudden and powerful earthquake had struck.
Immediately afterwards, a piercing creaking sound came from underground, and the originally solid ground seemed to be torn apart, revealing a series of shockingly huge cracks.
On the wide plaza of the Navy's G1 branch, a long, deep crack, like a hideous wound, stretches straight toward the port.
Many pirates and marines, who had no time to react, were caught off guard and fell into the bottomless dark rift, disappearing from sight in an instant.
"Hey! Celestial Dragons! All our soldiers have fallen into that bottomless pit!" A large number of naval soldiers and officers shouted at the top of their lungs.
