Chapter 357 - 217: Unstoppable Force (Part 2)
“After all, we are the outsiders.” Sherman said calmly, looking at Cole, “Cole, you and Fleming are responsible for dealing with the Deep Sea Naga, okay?”
Cole nodded silently, and without hesitation, turned and flew to the other side of the island.
Fleming quickly followed him.
Watching them leave, Sherman retracted his gaze and looked towards the Siren Sea Demons rushing towards the island, took a deep breath, and his expression turned serious.
“Let’s do it, make these guys hurt once and for all, so they won’t dare to easily disturb Coral Island again, it will make things easier for us in the future.”
Attila and Tajana nodded indifferently.
The bodies of the three instantly lit up with dazzling magic brilliance, and they rushed towards the battlefield.
As soon as the alarm sounded, the magic ships moored at the port immediately set sail, among which two Level 2 Demon Ships and three Level 1 Demon Ships sailed straight towards the Siren Sea Demons.
After merging, ten magic ships lined up in formation, forming a solid defense on the sea like a tall metal giant wall, blocking the path of the Siren Sea Demons’ raid.
When the Siren Sea Demons launched their charge, they were first greeted by a barrage of artillery fire.
In the past, when the Siren Sea Demons charged towards the island, they would also encounter long-range attacks such as bows and magic, but with the large bodies of the humpback whales as shields, these ranged strikes were completely ineffective in causing them any significant damage.
They planned to repeat the old trick, but the developments that followed caught them off guard.
The ten magic ships had a total of sixty-eight magic energy cannons, and just one volley turned the three leading humpback whales into sieves, with blood gushing out like a spring, instantly turning the surrounding area into a sea of red.
If that were all, the humpback whales could still rely on their numbers to withstand the artillery and approach the magic ships.
But as the main cannon spell towers of the two Level 2 Demon Ships opened fire, this dream was quickly shattered.
Buzz!
Two thick rays instantly crossed over a kilometer distance, piercing into the heads of the humpback whales and out through their tails, bringing forth a dazzling crimson blood fountain.
Even this mighty sea monster, ranking at the top of the ocean food chain, was instantly killed without any ability to resist.
Buzz! Buzz!
The two spell towers fired at a frequency of about five to six seconds, one after another ray shot out, continuously reaping the lives of the humpback whales.
The double artillery barrage intersected, weaving dense lines into a net that covered the sea in front of the magic ships, turning this kilometer sea area into a death zone.
In less than two minutes, more than thirty humpback whales were wiped out, becoming blood-soaked corpses floating on the sea.
The Siren Sea Demons also paid the price of over a hundred deaths.
The remaining Siren Sea Demons finally broke through the death labyrinth and reached the magic ships, but looking up at the metal giants resembling mountains before them, they felt at a loss.
Click, click, click!
A series of urgent footsteps suddenly came from the ship, as if some sort of multi-legged creature was quickly walking.
Then, several creatures resembling octopus suddenly surfaced from the deck, jumped into the sea with a splash, causing large waves.
The surrounding Siren Sea Demons instinctively thrust their spears, but with a crisp clang, it felt like they had struck something hard, causing a stinging pain in their hands.
“They’re puppets!” A Siren Sea Demon warned loudly.
The surrounding Siren Sea Demons, hearing this, did not retreat; instead, they swung their tridents and charged.
Previous encounters with Star Alliance puppets had taught them that once these puppets hit the water, they became clumsy and easy to manipulate.
But they soon realized they were gravely mistaken.
Countless black tentacles broke through the water, attacking rapidly, leaving the Siren Sea Demons unable to react, only seeing a flash of shadow, followed by a sharp chest pain.
Looking down, they saw a metal tentacle deeply embedded in their chest!
Despite surviving the artillery barrage, the Siren Sea Demons faced new slaughter.
Against thousands of legendary level puppets, the Siren Sea Demons were no match, with one after another falling to the metal tentacles.
This was a completely one-sided massacre!
The Siren Sea Demons quickly collapsed, scattering in retreat.
But soon, they found their retreat blocked.
A group of human knights riding strange Sub-dragon species had somehow circled behind them, cutting off their escape.
Having taken underwater breathing potions, the knights rode Water Sub-dragons, and began chasing and killing the Siren Sea Demons in the sea.
In the sky, Sherman, Attila, and Tajana targeted the more powerful elite Siren Sea Demons.
From the onset of the Siren Sea Demons’ raid to the end of the war, the entire event lasted less than ten minutes.
The Star Alliance side almost crushed the Siren Sea Demons like dust.
The latter part of the battle turned into a one-sided chase and cleanup.
Watching from the shore, Andrea was filled with amazement.
Whether it was the artillery fire from the magic ships or the combat prowess of the Octopus Puppets and Water Sub-dragon Knights, it impressed her greatly.
With this kind of magic ships and army, once scaled up, not only defending the island but charging into the deep sea to eliminate the Siren Sea Demons was not a fantasy!
By the end of the battle, aside from a few lucky ones who escaped, nearly all of the two thousand Siren Sea Demons were wiped out.
Even if the Siren Sea Demons claimed to be the wisest species in the Rainbow Sea, such enormous losses left them severely weakened and agonized.
On the island’s other side, though the number of magic ships was less than on the front, the Deep Sea Naga’s attack was also weaker than the Siren Sea Demons, so Sherman’s side concluded their battles soon after, marking an end to the war on the other side of the island.
Over a thousand Deep Sea Naga were also nearly all wiped out.
In the end, a tally of losses revealed that they had only lost thirty or so Octopus Puppets.
The Water Sub-dragon Knights suffered no casualties, with only a few slightly injured.
The magic ships only had a few with slight damage that could be easily repaired to their original state.
Compared to the abundant results, this loss was negligible!
After regrouping, everyone wore joyful smiles.
“After this, the Deep Sea Naga and Siren Sea Demons shouldn’t underestimate us any longer. At least in the short term, they should no longer raid Coral Island.” Sherman said with a smile, then immediately shifted his tone.
“But we cannot be complacent, if they return, their attack will definitely be more aggressive than this time, we must be prepared.”
Everyone nodded in agreement.
However, what happened developed even smoother than Sherman had expected.
Perhaps because they were seriously hurt, in the following period, the Siren Sea Demons and Deep Sea Naga did not come to attack Coral Island.
Instead, when Sherman and others ventured into deep-sea regions on ships later, they often encountered ongoing battles between the Siren Sea Demons and the Deep Sea Naga.
These two species seemed to have given up on blocking Star Alliance’s expansion in Rainbow Sea, turning on each other instead.
The final result of almost every battle was the victory of the Siren Sea Demons.
And the victorious Siren Sea Demons dared not raid ships again but slipped into the sea without hesitation.
This allowed the Star Alliance’s artificial island building plan to enter a peaceful and rapid development phase.
