Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
—A large number of enemies are attacking!
Ji Chen looked at the massive horde of corrupted skeletal reptiles swarming in the distance, sighing inwardly. He knew this journey wouldn’t be as smooth as he hoped.
Regardless, they had to hold out until Anina finished absorbing!
“Prepare for battle, no one is to retreat without my command!”
Ji Chen gave a resolute order.
The Ocean Crown’s army swiftly established a defensive line centered around the epic-tier Deep Sea Dragon Whale’s skull, and hero units were ready for slaughter.
Before the horde of corrupted skeletal reptiles reached the frontline, a barrage of light beams, like brilliant shooting stars in the night, pierced the dark waters, creating a burst of blood mist among the ferocious enemies.
The Sea Crystal Wyrm’s beams were effective even underwater, with slightly reduced power compared to on the surface. However, they were still potent enough to deliver fatal blows to these creatures, which didn’t even reach Tier Six, tearing off limbs or piercing their bodies.
Between the dancing beams of light, inconspicuous ice-blue arrows suddenly exploded within the enemy group. The exploding arrows sent water splashing like flying blades, creating a storm of flesh and blood wherever they passed.
After the Lobster Nymph Spirit Archers fired three rounds of arrows, they dispelled the water-formed longbows, picked up their spears, and, with a shout, charged alongside the Lobster Guardian Knights around them.
Cavalry was most lethal during a charge.
However, before they could charge, the fifty eight-meter-long Heavy Armor Toothfish and their knights had already accelerated to the maximum.
“Pledge loyalty to our Lord and charge into the enemy formation, crushing them!”
The massive and sturdy charge horns instantly crushed the skeletal lizards that attempted to use their heads as a defense. Fifty Heavy Armor Toothfish knights surged forward like a tidal wave, firmly halting the advancing horde of corrupted skeletal reptiles.
Seeing this, the leading Lobster Guardian Knight heroes’ eyes lit up, realizing it was a golden opportunity.
They raised their spears and shouted loudly.
“Everyone, accelerate!”
The knights swung their reins, pushing their lobster mounts to top speed.
Thud—
A dull impact echoed as thousands of corrupted skeletal lizards were sent flying by the tremendous force of the charge. Spears protruded like silver snakes, puncturing them.
Sixty Leviathan Dragons had somehow circled around to the flanks. They resembled giant snakes with two pairs of menacing pincer-like mouthparts on their heads and fluorescent blue singular horns on their foreheads.
Plop-
Clusters of water nymphs, seemingly harmless, descended into the enemy formation. After a brief pause, they exploded like water mines, their bursting water turning into razor-sharp blades. Wherever they passed, a storm of flesh and blood erupted.
The frontal assault had been somewhat restrained and even pushed back.
Solidus looked somewhat surprised at the Ocean Crown’s explosive combat prowess and chuckled, “It seems I can’t afford to lag behind!”
Transforming into his massive whale form, he suddenly appeared. Compared to before, his whale form had undergone a remarkable transformation, with wounds healed. He launched attacks in his most proficient combat style.
Seeing this, several heroes of the Ocean Crown were unwilling to let outsiders steal the limelight before their lord, and they joined the fray.
Ji Chen observed the battlefield and nodded. If it were only this, it would be difficult to break through their defenses. What concerned him was not these fearless corrupted skeletal lizards but the sinister presence lurking behind them.
He raised his head and looked into the distance. His gaze seemed to penetrate through the crawling creatures and layers of seawater, revealing the evil entity concealed in darkness and shadows..
