Seeing the fully armed fleet slowly approaching, the Krieg soldiers quickly became wary.

The cannons of the Bauhinia Alliance’s fleet posed a tremendous threat to the Krieg forces.

Without much hesitation, the commanding Krieg officers ordered their forces to open fire.

The defenders of the fortress and water stronghold unleashed a barrage of bolts and stones from their siege crossbows and catapults. The s.h.i.+pboard ballistae, as well as the cannons, joined in the attack.

Boom!

Swis.h.!.+

Amidst the shrill sounds, dozens of stout bolts soared through the air, raining down on the players and soldiers on the decks. They pierced through flesh, firmly nailing victims to the deck. Large stone projectiles shattered the s.h.i.+p hulls, breaking masts, and solid cannonb.a.l.l.s shot straight into the vessels, causing seawater to rush in.

In an instant, cries of anguish filled the player fleet, and players themselves were driven to fury.

During their previous raids on s.h.i.+ps, they had seized a significant number of s.h.i.+pboard ballistae and bolts, which now served as their means of counterattack.

The players’ retaliation also inflicted casualties on the Krieg soldiers. However, due to the height of the water stronghold and the angle of the ballistae, most of the bolts were embedded in the stronghold, resulting in less effective damage.

Jian Chen had ordered the New Moon to retreat from the start, so his s.h.i.+p remained unharmed in this initial wave of attacks.

The battle had reached its climax from the very beginning.

Player units and Krieg soldiers fell in a constant stream, and every few minutes, a wars.h.i.+p sank beneath the waves.

Just as the players and the Krieg soldiers were engaged in a heated battle, the wars.h.i.+ps of the Bauhinia Alliance were already approaching. More than ten wars.h.i.+ps equipped with cannons turned their bows and faced the water stronghold.

The wooden board of the muzzle was moved away, and black barrels extended out. After a short delay, flames burst out.

Dong—-

The cannonb.a.l.l.s smashed into the wooden walls of the water stronghold, creating large holes and even penetrating the walls, killing many soldiers.

Under such crazy attacks, cracks quickly appeared on the wall, like a dry land, covered in spiderweb-like cracks.

Ji Chen’s eyes burned with pa.s.sion when he saw this.

Crossbows were nothing compared to cannons!

After that, he would have to bring back a few cannons. Building a cannon in the territory or installing it on a s.h.i.+p was a good choice.

Boom!

With a loud cracking sound, one of the walls of the water stronghold was broken and collapsed. The soldiers and city defense equipment on top fell into the water like dumplings.

After the smoke dispersed, a huge gap was revealed.

Seeing this, the players cheered.

They immediately drove their s.h.i.+ps towards the gap, braving the firepower of the crossbows and rocks, and landed at the dock.

Hundreds of Krieg s soldiers rushed over with fanatical expressions and engaged the players in battle.

In the beginning, they could still rely on their level advantage to firmly suppress the players’ troops.

But very quickly, as more and more players landed, one Krieg soldier had to deal with at least ten soldiers. They wore outnumbered and their morale was low. They gradually lost control of the dock.

Having lost their defensive advantage, the Krieg soldiers were gradually unable to stop the aggressive players.

Under the command of a few sergeants, the army retreated like a collapsing mountain and ran towards the fortress in the distance.

The troops successfully landed and chased after the defeated soldiers under the leaders.h.i.+p of the players.

The s.h.i.+ps of the Bauhinia Alliance also anch.o.r.ed, and teams of fully armed Alliance soldiers disembarked from the deck,

Ji Chen took the opportunity to look at the interface of these Alliance soldiers.

[Bauhinia Alliance Warrior]

[Race: Human!

[Tier: 2, 9-star]

Their tiers were slightly higher than the Krieg Warriors by one star, but the difference in strength was very limited,

The players’ units were only one star higher in rank compared to the Krieg soldiers, but the power gap was relatively limited.

Relying solely on their own strength, even if they could breach the water stronghold, seizing control of the landing area would come at a great cost.

As the saying goes, ”There’s no harm in being prepared.1‘

This was also why the Bauhinia Alliance was willing to let players enter and have a share of the spoils. Many players were already marching with their armies towards the city beneath the Great Golden Tree,

Jian Chon didn’t want to fall too far behind either.

After instructing Sparrow to take the pirates to watch over the New Moon, he successfully landed with his own army and left.

The Water Fortress and the city were separated by a plain, where the terrified residents watched the retreating Krieg soldiers being chased by a group of strange and monstrous units. The players had no time to pay attention to these residents, their eyes focused solely on the Krieg soldiers.

They fully demonstrated the spirit of mercilessly beating a fallen dog.

After leaving the Water Fortress, Jichcn found a small waterway that led to the Holy City. A bright idea struck him.

He ordered all his units to enter the waterway and swim.

Secretly, he manipulated the power of the tides.

A surge of water appeared behind them, pus.h.i.+ng them forward at a rapid pace.

Their swimming speed was several times faster.

While many players had only run halfway, they had already reached the moat at the foot of the city walls of the Holy City.

Due to being underwater, the Krieg soldiers on the city walls did not notice them and instead focused their attention on the oncoming players.

In the moat.

In the moat, Jichcn floated calmly in the water, contemplating howto enter the city.

The Holy City was built on a mountain, surrounded by tall city walls. The defenses, including arrow towers and ballistae, were even more dense than those of the Water Fortress. The defensive strength of the city walls was several levels higher.

More importantly, the Bauhinia Alliance’s cannon s.h.i.+ps could not reach this place, so they could not use their cannons to blast open the city walls.

This increased the difficulty of attacking the city by several levels.

At this moment, the shallow sea murlocs scattered in the water suddenly sent back a message.

They had discovered a sewer entrance!

Jichen’s face lit up with joy and he immediately instructed the merfolk to lead the way and investigate.

On the side of the city wall, about three to four meters below the water’s surface, a rectangular sewer entrance, about four to five meters wide, came into view.

An iron grille blocked the entrance, with a gap of only ten centimeters.

To enter the city from here, they would need to break through this iron grille.

Jichcn gently tapped on it.

A dull sound resonated.

Well, this iron gate was much less st.u.r.dy than the steel gate of the Water Fortress.

Perhaps it could be forcibly cut open…

With this thought in mind, Jichcn secretly manipulated the power of the tides.

The invisible and gentle water gradually formed several tangible and resilient water saws under the reinforcement of his magic power.

The water saws began to rhythmically cut back and forth on the iron grille.

With the powerful force of the tides, the water saws were ten times sharper than metal saws and could cut through even steel.

The sewer iron grille was quickly cut through by dozens of water saws, revealing an entrance large enough for a Naga warrior to enter.

There was no time to waste.

Jichcn signaled for the Shallow Sea Murlocs to enter first and lead the way, with the others following behind.

After traveling over a hundred meters in the dim sewer, the entire map was filled with red dots representing the Krieg soldiers, densely scattered all around.

They had no idea that beneath their feet, a group of invaders was silently infiltrating through the sewers,.
