Chapter 1394 - Bombardment (1/2)

Sky gloomily watched the arguing mages from midair. He quietly took out a tiny city, and input mana into a mark on it. He was going to summon the main city of Sky City to this place, even though the price would be heavy.

From the sky in the rear, terrifying magic waves came close. Something projected a huge shadow on the ground, and the arguing experts came to a sudden halt.

Everybody looked at Sky in shock.

“Sky, are you crazy? Are you going to destroy your Sky City?”

The resistance on the ground raised their heads, and looked up at the sky. The terrifying waves of magic power were clearly not from a mage, but some sort of alchemy items.

The desperate crowd raised their heads, only to find that the magic waves came from a tiny black spot in the distance.

Sky stopped inputting magic power too. He seemed confused and shocked.

“That’s not me. Oh my God, what is that?”

The human mages stared at the black spots that were approaching quickly from the horizon with horrifying mana waves. They turned out to be enormous battleships.

Lin Yun was standing on the deck of the biggest warship, and staring at the army of the undead thoughtfully.

The channel was not in a regular shape, but was more like a funnel that was bigger on one side. The closer it was to the Plane of the Undead, the wider it was, and the closer it was to the Leviathan Plane, the narrower it was.

The narrowest part of the channel was only 2,000 kilometers wide, and more than 20 fortresses had been set up here.

Those fortresses were like reefs that were rooted in the beach, fruitlessly trying to stop the tides. Countless undead creatures were attacking the fortresses. They had even surrounded them. Even more undead creatures had already surpassed the fortresses, and were charging into the Leviathan Plane.

100 Heaven Rank experts were fighting in the place that was only 2,000 kilometers wide, but they couldn’t stop the ocean of undead creatures.

Everybody was reaching their limits. The power and speed of their spells were not nearly as good as in their best condition.

The last defense line of the channel was about to be broken. Some of the undead creatures had even climbed on each other, and were going to cross the walls of the fortresses, hoping to drown the fortresses with their advantage in numbers…

“Sir Merlin, it’s Sir Merlin!”

Inside one of the fortresses, Raphael, whose face was pale, regained all his strength instantly. His face turned red.

“Sir Merlin is back. I knew that he wasn’t a runner. He must’ve been looking for a solution to the problem.

“Those goddamn guys who have been badmouthing Sir Merlin all should be killed. They claimed that a lot of men escaped because they followed Sir Merlin’s example…

“As long as Sir Merlin is here, this terrible plague will surely be contained. It certainly will…”

Raphael touched the terrifying pustules on his arms, and opened his mouth that was full of blisters.

Lin Yun looked ahead. Everything within 1,000 kilometers was right before his eyes. Almost 30 percent of the experts had been infected by the plague, including 80 percent of the Heaven Rank experts. It seemed that the stronger a person was, the more likely they would be infected.

The earth and the fortresses had been reddened by blood. The smell of broken bodies and undead creatures permeated the battlefield.

The chaotic and gory aura had turned this place into a bloody steamer…

Lin Yun didn’t expect the situation to be so gory. He even heard the painful screams of countless dead people. Their regretful souls hovered in the sky above the battlefield, cursing the undead creatures. Many of the souls turned into mindless ghosts, and joined the army of the undead…

Behind Lin Yun, Xiuban gazed at the gory battlefield in silence. There seemed to be emotional waves on Reina’s cold face. Even Marianna, who had been naughty, remained silent.

A few seconds later, Lin Yun suddenly opened his mouth.

“Fleet, be prepared for a bombardment.”

Instantly, the 30 magic battleships that had already been charged launched attacks at the same time. The entire world seemed to be enshrouded in the dazzling brilliance. Thick pillars of light erupted from the main and secondary cannons of the magic battleships.

The pillars of light fell upon the ocean of the undead. All the noises on the battlefield were gone. Instantly, mushroom clouds were rising on the battlefield.

Dazzling light burst out of the center of the mushroom cloud. A terrifying blast swept across everything. In no more than five seconds, dozens of mushroom clouds that were hundreds of meters tall rose.

Waves of pure destruction swept out. However, the dazzling brilliance of the dark mushroom clouds moved even faster. The light obliterated all the undead creatures within a radius of 30 kilometers into nothingness.

From the distance, it seemed that a wall that was 1,000 kilometers long and dozens of kilometers thick was established. All undead creatures within the range were obliterated.

The light was completely gone a couple of seconds later. Then, the blast of the explosion swept out. The dust raised by the blast turned into a sandstorm that was a kilometer tall. It blew at the fortresses as well as undead creatures with their broken pieces.

The unstoppable tides of undead creatures seemed to have been slashed by a giant. The area that was 100 kilometers long and 1,000 kilometers wide turned empty. All the undead creatures in it were gone.

After the strike, the magic battleships were slowly recharged. It was not until this moment that the human beings in the fortresses finally woke up from their shock. They spat the dust in their mouths, and got back on their feet. They looked at the magic battleships above their heads in delight and shock.

“Oh my God, what are they? They can’t be iron warships. No iron warships could’ve been so powerful!”

Exclamations burst out of the fortresses. The mages who were covered in dust didn’t care about the dust or the bone pieces in their mouth. They quickly climbed the fortress walls, and found that most of the undead creatures outside the fortress were gone. The survivors had been badly wounded.

Further ahead, there was a blank area that was almost 100 kilometers long, as if there had been no undead creatures at all.

The exhausted mages all cheered in joy. In the biggest fortress in the center, the experts put on a smile too.

Levis of the Storm Tower touched the pustules under his left eye, which was unable to open due to the disease.

“Like I said, Sir Merlin would surely show up. There’s no way that he’d give up. The idiots of the Holy Light Alliance have been constantly spreading the rumor. Let’s see what they have to say now.

“Sir Merlin must’ve left to study how to deal with the undead creatures. He’s worked out a special way to annihilate those filthy creatures. Do you see it now?

“Sir Noc, is there anything you want to say for yourself?”
