Chapter 938 - Ocean Battle Era (2/2)
In less than 10 minutes, all the weak cannons on the Royal Army ships were changed to Dragon Crystal Cannons. Moreover, most of the ammo had been filled up. In the distance, the Fire Dragon Army and Dragonling Army ships had their sails raised up and the soldiers were using flag language to tell us that they were prepared. Han Yuan held the blade and said, ”General, let's board the boat?”
I nodded my head and said, ”Ling Luo, bring 200 archers and head over to the main ship with me!”
Ling Luo smiled, ”Yes, sir!”
Very quickly, everyone boarded the ship. Han Yuan and Xiao Lie were on the ships to our sides, forming a triangle that protected the main ship. We raised our sails and the ship slowly left the shore. The wind wasn't huge and night fell while fog appeared on the ocean surface. This was great — it provided a natural barrier for us, aiding us in our sneak attack.
...
”Ding!”
News came from Lin Wan Er, ”Dear, the fifth wave is about to arrive and their warships are all over the main battlefield. When are you all setting off?”
I replied, ”We have set off and we’ll head back there. The fifth wave will depend on you all.”
”Alright, understood. Be careful.”
”Understood!”
I switched off the communicator and looked at the warships entering the fog. However, I felt nervous. The Vanguard Army was said to have a million troops. Lei Ding attacking together with him meant that they had more than that. Just 100 thousand men sneak-attacking felt like us throwing eggs at stone. However, we also had a trump card: our Dragon Crystal Cannons. That was something that the Hybrid Demons didn't have. Their ships were equipped with weak cannons.
The warships followed the waves toward the deep ocean. When I opened the map, I also noticed that the Sea of No Return’s southern shore had turned blood red which meant that there was an intense battle there. The fifth wave had already begun.
...
”General!”
In the fog, Xiao Lie said loudly, ”We are getting close to their ships. What should we do?”
I nodded my head, ”Light up the torches and charge out. Use the Dragon Crystal Cannons to welcome them. Confirm whether they are enemies or friends and make sure it’s not friendly fire.”
Han Yuan said, ”General, don't worry. Tian Ling City's torches are Copper Oil Fire which produce red flames while theirs are blue. It’s easy to recognize.”
I smiled, ”Then charge out, fire towards the blue flames!”
”Yes!”
...
”Hua...”
The Tian Ling City ships all unfurled their sails, the eastern wind rose up and we charged towards the west of the Sea of No Return. In the fog, many blue flames appeared in front of us. The flames danced and looked really devilish. In the darkness, one could hear sharp shouts, ”Those ships in the distance, why do they have red flames? Aren't those ships from Tian Ling City?”
Another voice rose up, ”How is that possible? The Tian Ling City navy is useless. How could they have the courage to compete with us in the Sea of No Return?!”
With his words, the warships had already begun fired shots. It was from the Dragon Crystal Cannons on Qin Ye's ships. Instantly, there was a loud ”peng” and a Hybrid Demon ship was blown up into pieces, breaking from the middle. Flames rose up in the sky and waves blew all around. The mist separated and it allowed us to finally see clearly. There were a bunch of Hybrid Demon ships that were less than a hundred meters away from us. Many soldiers holding crossbows: Level 165 Rank 7 Hybrid Demons, Demon Hall Crossbowmen. They were the Demon Hall long-ranged troops and their attacks weren't a normal kind of high. The China Region players on shore must be suffering huge pressure.
The smell from the cannons blew into the mist. Under the moonlight, we could see one another more clearly. Both sides were silent for less than 10 seconds before I raised my hand and hollered, ”Charge out and shoot!”
The main warship traveled forward with full sails — the barbarian soldiers on both sides adjusted the angle of the cannons and aimed at the ships before opening fire!
”Peng!”
Another loud explosion. The ship that charged toward us was blown into pieces. Many Demon Hall Crossbowmen cried out and fell from the sky.
Not far away, the Dragonling Army and Fire Dragon Army ships traveled forwards. Cannon fire continued. However, their firepower definitely couldn't compare to the Royal Army’s. After all, they had limited Dragon Crystal Cannons, but even Flame Dragon Cannons were enough to destroy these Hybrid Demon Warships.
