Chapter 481: Valorous and peerless (1/2)
The speed of beast group was very fast. They ferociously collided head-on into the army just outside the harbor.
About a dozen of armored warships in the front was torn apart by the beast tide and sunk. All the soldiers onboard also fell into the water and they spared no effort to swim back. The result, in a single wave, those ferocious Gnu Alligators tore them into pieces and were dragged to the bottom of the sea.
Several thousand soldiers suddenly ceased to exist.
The soldiers on the other armored warships became pale. After witnessing the ferocity of this beast group, all of them trembled with terror, but under the shout of the leaders of different levels, they counterattacked like mad. Now, more than 200 armored warships tightly blocked the harbor and entrance to the island. The ballistae roared and heavy arrows frequently pierced through seven or eight Gnu Alligators before they lose power. The arrows that were shot from the armored warships came down in torrents like rain. Soon, the seawater was dyed red by blood and it was filled with floating corpses. Among these corpses, there were soldier’s corpses and even more corpses of Gnu Alligators.
With nearly 200,000 elite soldiers shooting the arrows, the destructive power was astonishing. It was incomparable to only 200 or 300 people of Cloud Mist Sect and Sea Demon Clan shooting arrows.
Before, Ye Chuan had led everyone to meet this beast group head-on and forcibly crushed all the Gnu Alligators in the way to pave a bloody path. This attack was fierce and swift for the short term, but it wouldn’t last long, and it was even more impossible to completely block this vast and might yao beast wave like that. However, at this moment, the army under Qing Tianhou had done it. These 200,000 soldiers gathered together and forcibly stopped this yao beast wave regardless of their causalities.
Rows after rows of these Gnu Alligators fell, but armored warships also sunk and the soldiers onboard were submerged by this yao beast wave. Although this yao beast wave was blocked, the army also paid the heavy price.
At this moment, no one noticed where Rain Demon and deputy commander Liu Yuan were, and after the yao beast wave was drawn over, their armored warship had disappeared among the numerous identical armored warships. No one noticed that there was a somewhat distinctive warship among the many warships of the army. Although the warship was exactly the same and many soldiers also stood on the deck, unlike other soldiers who had hastily boarded the warships, these soldiers were fully armored. Their entire body was covered, revealing only a pair of eyes. Under the leadership of deputy commander Liu Yuan, they also drew arrows, but the arrows they shot were weak without any strength. No need to speak that it didn’t have enough power to kill Gnu Alligators, they often accidentally injured the soldiers of other warships.
Ye Chuan’s group wore the standard battle armor of the army under Qing Tianhou. On the surface, they pretend to attack Gnu Alligators to not get discovered, but their warship moved all around without any trace, in addition, they secretly snipe down the leader of various armored warships. In the midst of the chaotic warfare, the formation was basically disorderly, no one noticed the unusualness of this warship. Even if someone was discontented, upon seeing deputy commander Liu Yuan who was shouting loudly, they weren’t suspicious.
In order to avoid attracting too much attention and quickly give away his position, Ye Chuan’s group sniped mid and low level leaders of the warships. They intentionally didn’t snipe the main leader of the warships. For a short while, the effect was not very significant, but the effect slowly showed up. Without the command of mid and low level commanders, the attacks of soldiers began to get chaotic and were even interrupted, moreover, their cooperation became more and more rigid. Even though the main leader was shouting loudly, the lack of mid and low level leaders for cooperation made it harder to transmit the orders to soldiers. Slowly, the chaos spread, all armored warships fell into their respective battle. They were unable to concentrate on fighting against the ferocious yao beast wave.
Roar! From the midst of numerous Gnu Alligators, a thunderous roar resounded.
Gnu Alligator King who remained hidden in the midst of the beast group decisively seized this chance, it roared loudly and those Gnu Alligators attacked even more ferociously. Those yao beasts boldly rushed forward without the fear of death and suddenly split into three groups. One group still charged straight forward, one group jumped like a fish onto armored warships and the final group dived into the water, wanting to bypass this blockade of armored warships via underwater, then make a pincer attack.
