Their blood began to heat up, and it felt like their hearts might leap out of their chests.
The legions and heroic units in the Crown of the Ocean all had impressive bloodlines, each from different races.
The Naga Guardians possessed ancient Naga bloodlines, the Dragon Blood Murlocs had the blood of dragons, Alice was a Siren, Anina was an ancient Dragon Whale, Herald hailed from the deep-sea Naga, and Benbo also had a rich dragon bloodline.
In this territory of the Crown of the Ocean, such a gathering of noble bloodlines and races was indeed a testament to the abundance of talent.
Powerful bloodlines and races translated into formidable combat strength.
There was no doubt about their strength.
The Crown of the Ocean, with its hands unshackled, soon displayed crushing power.
The already robust Naga Guardians swelled even further, their bone blades sharper and more terrifying than a cutting machine, leaving a trail of carnage wherever they went.
After killing one sea beast, another would charge forward?
No problem, they would just kill it too.
No matter how many came, beneath the relentless slashes of those bone blades, they all met the same fate—reduced to piles of minced flesh.
Their bloodlines provided them with almost inexhaustible power, and even if they were injured, they quickly healed.
This was the strength of high-tier units.
Unless they encountered enemies stronger than themselves, they stood like mountains, preventing any foes from passing without first toppling them.
The Crown of the Ocean had always adhered to the path of elite troops, and now it was proving its worth.
Although their numbers weren’t particularly high, each one was of high quality, and in this long-duration, high-intensity battle, they proved remarkably sturdy and enduring.
Especially the magical units specifically chosen by Ji Chen, the Silver Sea Pixies and the Dragon Horn Catfish, could recover mana over time, ensuring they wouldn’t run out.
The Water Nymph Archers were the same; compared to ranged archer units that required arrows and ammunition, as long as they had water, it was equivalent to having an endless supply of arrows.
Ji Chen’s eyes shone slightly; as a Lord, his talents and legendary profession granted him the ability to see in the dark as if it were daylight.
As clear as day.
In his eyes.
The seemingly massive sea beast tide had now shrunk considerably, no longer as towering and immense as before. After a day of fierce fighting, the sea beasts had suffered losses of at least three hundred thousand, which meant there were now at most less than six hundred thousand remaining.
This number was now almost on par with the two previous waves of sea beast tides that had attacked the New Moon Islands.
This left him with a sense of illusion.
Perhaps the sea beast tide was nothing more than this.
Looking at the sky, Ji Chen decided to expedite the battle.
“Have the Dragon Horn Catfishes prepare, and throw them toward the center of the sea beast tide. Let’s blast those high-tier sea beasts hiding there.”
The command was given.
After a short time.
On the pitch-black sea surface, bursts of crimson flashes suddenly appeared.
Upon closer inspection, it became evident that the Dragon Horn Catfishes, positioned at the back, had lifted their horn-like crystals, unleashing a powerful surge of energy.
Strands of red lightning converged on the horns, swirling and interweaving like an electromagnetic field with a regular pattern.
Then, the Dragon Horn Catfishes gently raised their heads, and the lightning on top of their heads leaped into the air.
Hundreds of strands entwined with each other, and after several minutes, the chaotic lightning gradually formed a lightning sphere with a diameter of over ten meters. The constantly bursting light illuminated the entire sea surface, even the dark clouds in the sky were lit up.
Even the least intelligent sea beasts could feel the terrifying energy from it, and a hint of fear appeared in their chaotic and frenzied eyes.
Their trembling bodies and souls told them that this lightning sphere was extremely frightening.
Out of instinct for survival, these frenzied sea beasts actually had the thought of retreating for the first time.
Then, this lightning sphere condensed to the extreme, and it flew towards them while they watched helplessly.
It was like the moment of a cosmic explosion.
The lightning sphere didn’t explode immediately; instead, it compressed several times, and the energy was suppressed to the extreme before quietly bursting.
All that could be seen was a light as if one were staring at the explosion of a nuclear bomb. In the moment when the light blossomed, countless red lightning serpents burst forth.
The darkness was completely dispelled, the seawater evaporated and burst, and ripples with lightning coursed outwards, sweeping in all directions. Countless sea beasts, like ragdolls, were carried into the sky by the terrifying energy and turned into charred remains.
On the sea surface, which was originally crowded with sea beasts, a hole with a diameter of hundreds of meters suddenly appeared. The seawater hadn’t even had a chance to fill it back up, and lightning darted around in the water, pulling even more sea beasts into the depths of the sea.
The soldiers of Starshine City had just removed their hands from their eyes when they saw the deep hole in the sea surface, which extended several dozen meters deep. The faces of those resolute soldiers were filled with astonishment and awe.
What is this…
Could it be some kind of terrifying bomb?
Until they saw this scene with their own eyes, they would never believe that any creature could create such a terrifying attack.
Is this the power of this unknown army?
Deep down, they felt a shiver of fear and panic.
It had nothing to do with being scared of the enemy; these were emotions born out of instinct.
A Starshine soldier suddenly felt something land on his face and couldn’t help but look up in confusion.
The dark clouds still dominated the sky, but there was no rain.
He reached out and touched it, then looked down; there was a black object with a bloody hue on his fingertip.
Before he could recognize what it was, more objects fell from the sky with a pattering sound. Thinking back to the terrifying lightning sphere just now, he finally realized.
These were the flesh and blood fragments of the sea beasts that had been turned into charcoal by the electricity!
Looking at the scattered flesh and blood fragments around them, they were momentarily at a loss.
Boom—
However, a sudden burst of blue beams appearing in front of them snapped them back to reality.
The sea beasts were launching a counterattack!
Ji Chen watched the beams of light that were shot out from the center of the sea beast tide and let out a soft snort.
Had those sea beasts finally lost their patience?
The ones firing these beams were the same sea beasts that had launched the counterattack with the giant sea eagles earlier.
These sea beasts had a snake-like appearance, were covered in diamond-shaped scales, and had sharp teeth.
But the most eye-catching feature was the blue crystal at the end of their long tails, and it was from within these crystals that the beams were emitted.
These beams were fast and sharp, like meteors streaking backwards as they shot into the defensive line.
For the first time, the champions of the Ocean Crown suffered significant casualties in a single round of attacks.
Dozens of Naga Guardians were pierced in their vital areas by these beams, leaving terrifying, gaping wounds, resulting in instant death. Over three hundred units of military troops perished under this barrage of beams.
This kind of attack was not something low-level sea beasts could produce. Only sea beasts of Tier Five and above could kill Tier Five units with a single blow!
Ji Chen’s expression hardened; he couldn’t allow this attack to continue!
“All ranged units, focus fire on those sea beasts! Don’t let them have a chance to continue firing!”
“All hero units, charge! Kill these savage sea beasts!”
The heroes, with expressions of fervor and excitement, joined the battle one by one.
The three major ranged units under the Guardian Legion, after a brief pause, simultaneously unleashed spells and arrows towards the center of the sea beast tide.
The east wind scatters a thousand trees in the night.
A dazzling round of attacks streaked through the dark night sky, leaving glowing trails as they descended into the sea of creatures.
“Ding- Your troops have slain 25 Serpent-Necked Dragon Beasts.”
“Ding- Your troops have slain 158 Serpent-Necked Dragon Beasts.”
“Ding- Your troops have slain 89 Serpent-Necked Dragon Beasts.”
From the densely packed system notifications, it was clear that the counterattack by the Ocean Crown had dealt a severe blow to the enemy, with more than half of them being killed.
In the next round, only a scattered three to four hundred beams flew towards them, with most of them being blocked by the well-prepared Crab Guardians. The casualties were less than a hundred.
Terrified by the previous combination attack of the Dragon Horn Catfish, as Ji Chen had expected, those high-tier sea beasts that were hiding could no longer restrain themselves and joined the fray.
However, the numerous hero units of the Ocean Crown that had already entered the battlefield were waiting for their appearance..
