Chapter 431: The Second Wave of Sea Beast Tide, Combo Punch (2)
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The Guardian Legion transported cannonb.a.l.l.s of various sizes from the warehouse to the frontline, piling them up next to the alchemy cannons.
However, two-thirds of the previously stockpiled ammunition had already been consumed in the unrestrained firing during the first wave of the Sea Beast Tide, and the remaining third would likely not last long once the battle commenced.
Therefore, Ji Chen decisively ordered to fire cautiously in the upcoming battle, aiming for high-efficiency output.
The military units that were injured in the first round had quickly recovered in just a few hours, thanks to their strong vitality, and had returned to the frontline.
This time, the defense line was extended, stretching from the southeast cliff to the middle of the main island, approximately six kilometers long, which was double the length of the previous one, consequently dispersing half of the military forces.
In this urgent situation, he also temporarily conscripted an army of 2000 Lizardman Warriors, equipped with a large number of city defense weapons, to supplement the land forces, temporarily led by Verena.
Once everything was ready.
The second onslaught of the Sea Beast Tide emerged on the horizon, larger than before. It spanned from the left to the right of our field of vision, nearly merging with the entire southern coast of the New Moon Islands.
This time, the Crown of the Ocean’s forces didn’t hunker down in defense. Instead, they took an offensive approach.
Under the leaders.h.i.+p of the hero unit named Wilun, a legion of 1250 Lobster Guardian Knights raised their reins, driving their lobster mounts slowly out of formation, heading towards the incoming sea beasts.
The thousand-plus units, compared to the 350,000 sea beasts, seemed so insignificant as if they could be swallowed up by a wave.
Wilun, with fearless eyes beneath his armor, led the legion forward, maintaining a steady speed, until they were one kilometer away from the sea beast horde, then raised his bone spear.
He shouted.
“Follow the plan!”
“Yes!”
The twelve centurions of the Lobster Guardian Knights behind him responded in unison, leading their hundred-man squads to turn left and right.
The entire legion turned without any disorder, and the thousand-plus knights successfully evaded the approaching sea beasts before they reached them.
Seeing living creatures coming towards them, the sea beasts, as if already smelling the scent of flesh and blood, were too eager to let their prey escape.
Affected by this, the sea beasts on the edges of the horde broke away from the main group, chasing after the hundred-man squads.
But the Lobster Guardian Knights were bona fide cavalry units, far faster than these disorderly sea beasts. Under deliberate control, they led the sea beasts towards the open sea at a moderate pace.
This chase led away about forty to fifty thousand sea beasts, significantly reducing the size of the originally ma.s.sive horde.
The original count of 350,000 sea beasts was temporarily reduced to 300,000, significantly lowering the threat.
The Dragon Blood Legion wasn’t just pa.s.sively enduring attacks. More than a thousand Dragon Blood Murlocs propelled themselves forward with powerful kicks of their fins, launching out like cannonb.a.l.l.s.
On the edge of the ma.s.sive, c.u.mbersome sea beast horde, they used the advantage of their tridents for ranged attacks, continuously inflicting damage on the outer sea beasts.
The Dragon Blood Murlocs expertly employed guerrilla tactics: they advanced when the enemy retreated and hara.s.sed them when they halted.
When the sea beasts, angered by the attacks, chased after them, the Dragon Blood Murlocs would flee, quickly retreating to a safe distance, then turn around and strike with their tridents.
If they encountered sea beasts of similar speed, the Dragon Blood Murlocs would use their Dragon Might skill to intimidate them before attacking.
It was a fight to the death or severe injury.
Under this tactic, the sea beast horde was gradually whittled down from the outside, appearing scattered but in reality, the killing efficiency was astonis.h.i.+ng. Over just a few kilometers, thousands of sea beasts perished miserably under their tridents.
Twenty Sky Guardians soared under the dark clouds, shuttling through the gloomy sky.
The sea beasts on the surface looked up at them, roaring in anger but helpless to act.
Upon closer inspection, the Sky Guardians’ claws held large spherical bombs. Reaching above the sea beast horde, the soldiers perched on their backs took out specially made ignition devices from their waists, inserted them into the bombs to activate them, and then let the Sky Guardians release the bombs before swiftly ascending to safety.
The bombs, now unrestrained, fell freely towards the midst of the sea beast horde.
Suddenly, dozens of towering water columns burst forth below, accompanied by wails that even the fierce winds couldn’t disperse. These simple yet brutally effective bombs killed and injured hundreds of sea beasts.
With a flap of their wings, the Sky Guardians returned to the island to pick up more bombs, repeating the process.
As the sky was in action, the sea was not to be outdone.
Large sea mines had been stealthily placed at a depth of two to three meters along the route of the advancing sea beast horde. Unaware of these hidden dangers, the sea beasts, agitated by the attacks from the Dragon Blood Murlocs and the Sky Guardians, heedlessly crashed into these submerged metallic devices.
After a brief delay, thunderous explosions resounded as the sea mines were triggered, sending countless sea beasts flying into the air, raining blood from the sky.
The surrounding sea beasts, not directly affected by the explosion, were also shaken by the terrifying shockwaves, bleeding from all orifices, their internal organs reduced to mush.
As the sea beast horde moved forward every 500 meters, multiple sea mines detonated. Each mine had enough force to obliterate a wars.h.i.+p, making them more than capable of killing the flesh-and-blood sea beasts.
Even fourth-tier sea beasts were severely injured in such explosions, with those directly affected having no chance of survival.
The bombs from the sky never ceased, the sea mines in the water were relentless, and the surrounding area was constantly hara.s.sed by the Dragon Blood Murlocs.
The fury of the sea beasts had reached its peak, roaring angrily as they madly surged forward, intent on devouring all living beings in their path.
At that moment, they saw dozens of small boats floating ahead on the sea, giving off a strong scent of blood.
This scene immediately sparked their hunger and fury, causing them to speed up significantly. They surrounded and ripped apart the boats, uncovering fresh sea beast carca.s.ses.
As they were trying to make sense of this, Self-Detonating Water Spiders, each with a swollen abdomen, suddenly emerged from under the corpses and jumped right into the center of the sea beast horde.
Boom, boom—
Explosions like firecrackers erupted, scattering smaller spherical bombs, causing a wider area of devastation and instantly clearing the surrounding sea beasts.
In a short time, the collective explosion of 1,400 Self-Detonating Water Spiders inflicted another heavy blow on the sea beast horde, creating swathes of death around the dozens of small boats.
Even the most frenzied sea beasts, witnessing such a horrific scene, dared not approach and instead chose to bypa.s.s it.
By this point, the sea beast horde, after enduring continuous setbacks, finally reached the New Moon Islands in a disheveled state. However, of their original ma.s.sive numbers, only a little over two hundred thousand remained, many of them injured.
Ji Chen watched this scene and finally smiled satisfactorily.
All along the way, these were his arrangements, preparations made in the time leading up to the sea beast tide’s arrival.
The Lobster Guardian Knights used themselves as bait to attract a portion of the peripheral sea beasts away, then the Dragon Blood Murlocs continuously bit them like mosquitoes.
Then, the Sky Guardians, utilizing their aerial advantage, dropped bombs like airplanes, while sea mines were strategically placed in the water along their path.
These sea mines were concocted by Thotmudo, originally intended to defend against enemies like the fleets of the Ba.s.s Kingdom, but were instead used in this defensive battle.
But now, it seemed the effect was excellent. These sea beasts, clearly unacquainted with the power of technology, had blundered headfirst into them.
If time was not a constraint, and only about a hundred sea mines had been produced, Ji Chen would have liked to place one every ten meters, deploying thousands to evaporate most of the sea beasts.
And the Self-Detonating Water Spiders, resurrected from the Resurrection Altar, were put to use once again.
First, using the fresh corpses of the first wave of sea beasts as bait, when the sea beasts gathered, the hidden Self-Detonating Water Spiders were detonated, ensuring a high kill rate and number of casualties.
At this point, after such a combination of tactics, the sea beast horde was clearly bewildered.
They hadn’t even reached the New Moon Islands, hadn’t even caught a glimpse of the enemy, and yet nearly a hundred thousand of their number had already been killed or wounded, with countless others injured.
Now, what lay before the Crown of the Ocean champions was a group of enemies whose threat level had significantly diminished.
The battle…. reignited once more!
