Chapter 428: Dragon-Horned Catfish’s Performance, Glorious Achievements, Meat Harvest
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Outside the southern beach of the main island of the New Moon Islands.
The sky had unknowingly gathered a ma.s.s of dark clouds, turning the daylight abruptly dim, with the rumbling of thunder echoing through the clouds.
Beneath the black clouds.
A fleet of wars.h.i.+ps spanned the coastline, their decks and gun barrels protruding from the cabins spitting flames, sending cannonb.a.l.l.s into the midst of the sea beast tide, each blast causing water to splash several meters high, with large-caliber sh.e.l.ls even stirring up waves tens of meters high.
Amidst the sky of splas.h.i.+ng water, the broken bodies of sea beasts and vivid blood were intermixed. Outside the range of the explosions, many sea beasts were stunned by the blasts, only to be engulfed in an instant.
In everyone’s eyes, under the dim sky, the entire sea area was filled with pairs of blood-red pupils, their madness and bloodl.u.s.t chilling to the bone, with their fierce roars seeming to resound right beside one’s ears.
Behind the area bombarded by artillery, several main force legions stood solemnly on the sea surface, facing the approaching sea beasts without a trace of fear.
For them, recruited from the endless void, the mission of battle had been their burden since the moment of their birth.
To die in battle was not the end, but a rebirth, an honor!
Everyone could see the tall figure standing on the cliff, their eyes gradually igniting with fervor and the will to fight.
Woo woo—
The sound of a giant conch horn, made from a sea snail, emitted a deep, resonating sound, echoing through heaven and earth.
This seemed to become the signal for the attack.
Following the commands of various hero units, under the crisscrossing artillery fire, the main force legions charged towards the enemy.
Ji Chen, from atop the cliff, watched as the Crown of the Ocean champion team and the sea beast tide merged into one ma.s.sive ent.i.ty below.
Meanwhile, the artillery fire also adjusted its parameters, targeting the sea beasts further back.
A single sea beast was undoubtedly very weak, but thousands of them together were terrifying, swarming like locusts across the sky, capable of overwhelming a smaller number of enemies in an instant.
This was the terrifying aspect of the Sea Beast Tide.
The sky had unknowingly started to drizzle, making the already dim light even more gloomy, and the sea surface, no longer calm, began to churn with waves.
But amidst these layers of waves, slaughter was constantly unfolding.
The sea beasts surged forward, initially driven by expulsion, but now driven by a hunger-induced frenzy, each craving to take a bite of their prey.
Among the Sea Beast Tide, many were entire tribes migrating together. The sea beast monsters leading these tribes possessed considerable intelligence, not blindly charging forward but constantly restraining their kin, observing the battlefield situation, looking for weak points in the defense line to viciously bite into their enemy.
However, to their disappointment, the defense line formed by the Crown of the Ocean champion team appeared weak but was incredibly resilient.
The main force legion, all of Tier 5, now became a battlefield meat grinder.
The immensely strong and robust Naga Guardians, even in front of sea beasts of waterfall-like size, still appeared quite large, their heads resembling dragons, imposing and awe-inspiring.
Their hands, evolved into heavy bone swords, were like flesh-cutting machines, their alien bloodlines granting them almost endless strength. With one swing, a sea beast was beheaded, swift and efficient.
This scene of slaughter could be imagined as over a thousand enhanced versions of Dwayne Johnson wielding chainsaws amidst a horde of zombies.
And the Dragon Blood Murlocs, vastly different in stature from the Naga Guardians, presented a different style. With their Dragon Might skill, they easily suppressed the lower-bloodline sea beasts, calmly using their tridents to kill.
The Guardian Legion’s Water Nymph Archers and Silver Sea Pixies, under the protection of the Crab Guardians, calmly shot volleys of arrows, their terrifying output clearing swathes of sea beasts.
The Silver Sea Pixies were still okay, having reached a number over a thousand. A round of their spells could at least kill two to three thousand sea beasts.
But the voice of the Water Nymph Archers was somewhat lower, the flaw being that their numbers were still too few. Archers as a military unit needed to be numerous; only with sufficient numbers could they shoot more arrows and exert enough suppressive force.
Ji Chen still remembered watching a movie called “Hero” back on Earth, where the Qin army launched a magnificent volley of arrows while attacking an enemy city, a sight truly terrifying.
He thought that no enemy would want to face such a horrifying barrage of arrows. Just a few rounds before the battle could probably plummet the enemy’s morale to rock bottom.
Maybe he should seize the opportunity to buy a few more cores for recruiting Water Nymph Archers?
But then Ji Chen thought about the millions of rare resources needed for each recruitment round and quietly dismissed the idea.
Having resources for one meal but not the next, even with many recruitment camps, wouldn’t be effective.
Other legions were also fighting fiercely.
The Dragonblood Guardian Knights used their mobility advantage on the edge of the battlefield, frequently attacking the fringes of the battlefield, slicing through the sea beast horde like a knife cutting through dough, then devouring them with their charge.
In this way, the output of these sea clan knights, clad in armor and wielding spears, was surprisingly no less than that of other legions standing on the front line. Their armor and bone spears were continuously stained red with blood, then washed clean by the rain and seawater.
Just as he was observing the overall situation of the battlefield.
A flickering red light on one side of the battlefield caught his attention. Looking closely, it was the Dragon-Horned Catfish, a new unit type of the Crown of the Ocean, acc.u.mulating energy.
As a new unit type of the Crown of the Ocean, Ji Chen was extremely interested in them..
