Chapter 348: The Colossus Attacks!
The Shandia, this ethnic group has a long History on the World, but over such a long Time, their Civilization level hasn't progressed much.
They still wear grass skirts and leather skirts, hunt, and live in simple animal skin Tents.
Simply put, it's the Style of Indians.
Of course.
They have an extra pair of White Wings on their backs, which are just decorations, and in this regard, they are exactly like the Sky Islanders.
Their Population has always been small, after all, they have been in a state of War for the past few hundred years, with a large number of young and strong males dying outside every year.
The biggest change should be that after 'Shandora' rushed to Sky Island four hundred years ago, they gradually learned to use various Shells/Dials.
This has added a bit of a 'modern' Aura to their Life.
At this moment.
The Shandia's 'Cloud Hidden Village' is actually on the westernmost Edge of 'God's Island'. They have even retreated from the Land and built Tents on the island cloud.
Inside the Tent, which was slightly larger and had more complex decorations compared to the others, a man with red-dark skin, wearing only a grass skirt around his lower body, said to the middle-aged elder wearing an animal skin hat. His Gaze was filled with surprise and doubt.
Over the years, they had always been suppressed and beaten by the other side, and this Situation was truly the first time it had occurred.
"There are only two possibilities. Either it's a Trap they've set, aiming to lure out more of our people, or something has happened on their side, forcing them to contract their Defense Line to avoid Conflict with us."
The Chief pondered for a moment before stating his thoughts.
He was the old Chief that Luffy and others met in the Canon, but now it was twenty-three years ago, and his physical condition appeared more robust.
"Chief! Chief!"
Just then, an anxious call sounded from outside the Tent, followed by a rush of running footsteps. A moment later, a man wearing red round Sunglasses walked in.
"Ah, Geronimo, you're here too, that's great!"
The Chief asked doubtfully, "What's wrong, Oneida?"
"Chief, when Carola and I were on Patrol, we saw Gan Fall leading six Divine Officers and over four hundred Divine Warriors mobilize from afar, but we found they weren't coming towards us, so we secretly followed them. We finally discovered they were fighting a group of Giant Ships flying in the Sky on Angel Island!"
Oneida explained loudly, gesturing wildly, his face full of excited Smiles.
"Giant ships flying in the Sky?"
Geronimo and the Chief exchanged glances. The former said hesitantly, "Chief, have you heard of it?"
"No."
The Chief Shake Head, then continued Speaking, "But this should be a good thing, after all, the Sky Islanders have gained an enemy. Once both sides are heavily injured, it will be easier for us to fight."
"No, I think now is the chance!"
Geronimo suddenly Stand Up and sneered, "The Divine Warriors add up to less than seven hundred people, and there are only eight Divine Officers. Gan Fall took away six Divine Officers and over four hundred Divine Warriors, so there won't be many people left at their base!"
"You want to directly raid the Shrine?"
"Right!"
"As long as we eliminate the two Divine Officers and two hundred Divine Warriors left behind, and then burn down that damn Shrine, even if Gan Fall's side comes back, they will have suffered heavy losses!"
The Chief looked at the burning Fighting Intent in Geronimo's Gaze and thought inwardly, "Truly worthy of being a descendant of Great Warrior Calgara, always full of Confidence and Courage."
Then he said jokingly, "Okay, go ahead. Anyway, you already have Sons, so it's nothing if something happens~"
"Hahahaha!"
Geronimo and Oneida exchanged glances and burst out laughing. Their Sons were both born last year and are now exactly one year old, very cute.
"Let's go, gather the Guerrilla Squad!"
Soon, they contacted each other through some unknown method, and from time to time, agile young men and women would leap out from the Forest.
Their clothing was generally of one Style, but each had unique decorations that showed their individuality.
"Wyandotte, Nogle, Quepa, Dogribwen..."
Geronimo called out each person's Name. After calling them out, he revealed a satisfied Smile, "Everyone's here, not bad!"
In the past, when gathering, there were always a few people missing, sometimes over ten, but this time not a single one was missing, which was enough to make one happy.
At this moment, at the entrance of Cloud Hidden Village, over three hundred elite Warriors holding various Weapons had gathered.
The Shandia are more excellent in terms of Combat than the Sky Islanders, so even if their numbers are about half of the Divine Soldiers Squad, they can still fight equally.
"Our target this time is to take advantage of Gan Fall taking away the main force and completely annihilate the Divine Officers and Divine Warriors left behind!"
"Remember, you must act quickly, because we don't know when they... Hmm?"
Just as everyone was concentrating their Spirit and listening to Geronimo Speaking, the latter suddenly stopped Speaking, which made the Atmosphere awkward.
Some people also turned their heads to look, following Geronimo's Gaze.
"Ah, what is that!"
"Flying? An Airship?"
"It's coming towards us!"
More and more Warriors discovered the Silver-White Battleship appearing in the distant Sky. Soon, even the Men, Women, Old and Young within the Village noticed it.
"Prepare for Combat!"
Geronimo shouted loudly, then shouted towards Oneida, "Send out one hundred people to defend inside the Village and have the villagers start preparing to escape!"
That Large Ship could fly, so it was entirely possible for it to land directly in the Village. And their side couldn't fly up that high at all, so they couldn't stop it.
It's just that he still underestimated the Speed of the Flying Warship. Before the villagers had even finished packing Food and water, it had already stopped hovering over Cloud Hidden Village.
This made the Expression of the Shandia Warriors become very ugly.
[Roar!]
Suddenly, the Warship fired a cannon towards the White Sea behind the Village, which was the direction they were preparing to escape. The rising Gunfire Flash and Black Smoke shocked everyone below.
Because they could all see that there were dozens of Cannons on both sides of the Warship. This small Village couldn't even withstand one round of bombardment from it.
"We are the Holy Land Garrison under the banner of the World Government! Gan Fall and his Divine Soldiers Squad have been eliminated by us!"
"From now on, all Islands and Citizens on the White Sea are subject to the Rule of the World Government!"
"We have been ordered by Lord Saint Nerona to come and take over the Shandia. Resisters will be executed on the spot. If rioters exceed one-third, the entire Village will be bombarded!"
Just as the Broadcast full of deterrence sounded from the Flying Warship, dozens of Thick Ropes were pushed down from above. Following closely, squads of Armored Warriors rapidly descended along the ropes.
Geronimo's Guerrilla Squad really wanted to launch an attack at this moment, but those golden Cannon Barrels were always aimed at Cloud Hidden Village.
In the end, until the first batch of Holy Land Garrison landed, not a single person dared to act rashly.
On the other side.
Noah's Ark had already arrived near the Giant Vine and was slowly ascending along it. Just as it passed through a cloud layer with many ruins.
A Flying Warship broke away from the formation and landed on it.
Following closely, large numbers of Holy Land Garrison and various Officials ran out to investigate the Environment here. In the hands of the former were shovels, and they began digging deep into the island cloud beneath their feet.
The Mission they received was to find the Poneglyph in the ruins of Shandora and recover it. It is said to be right beneath this cloud layer!
At the same time.
Noah's Ark continued carrying the remaining two Warships and ascending. However, soon another Flying Warship broke away. Its target was precisely the Sky Islanders' Shrine.
And Im's target was the very top Golden Bell. It would definitely be good to take it and decorate Noah's Ark!
"Eh, this huge Aura? Oh—it's it, how could I have forgotten it?"
Im's Gaze pointed north, as precise as a Laser, because in his Perception, there was a Colossus rushing towards this side.
