Higan was not a talkative person, so whatever she said was basically the final decision. There was no way to change it.
Tang Ling was the only one who could make Higan change.
It was Higan's personality. She did not explain herself and stuck to her stubbornness. Otherwise, she would not have used such a stupid method to repay Tang Long back then.
Therefore, Xi Feng suppressed her unfinished words in her heart.
Everyone knew that this decision to fight was basically a decision to send everyone to their deaths.
That was because the so-called reserve team was basically a supplementary team for the 'suicide squad', and the members of this team were all from the Harvest Fleet.
Against a Level 4 vicious beast, not to mention the fact that they were all Purple Moon Warriors, even 200 of them might not be able to hold the vicious beast back, let alone 50 of them.
Therefore, the elite teams from the Harvest were sent into the battle as well.
It sounded so righteous and reasonable!
Were they trying to kill everyone when Tang Ling returned? Even Xi Feng, who was the most carefree and careless person, thought about it.
She even knew that if they went against the decision, it would only give Liszt more excuses. For example, if they thought they couldn't hold the beast back, they should send more people into the battle.
If they went against the order, he would remove his command.
It was a very effective move because other than him, no one else on the Harvest knew how to command the battle. Other than the crew members of the Harvest, no one else could command anyone else.
With that thought in mind, not only could they not go against the order, but they would also have to risk their lives to fight! If they did not risk their lives, they would have to sacrifice the lives of the crew members who followed the Harvest!
Everyone on the Harvest might not be suitable to be a hero or a commander. They could not be the commander because they could not betray the trust of the crew members or the feelings that they had for following them all the way.
Higan's appearance was obvious. She was going to protect everyone at all costs during the critical moment. Could her protection be interpreted as not just for Tang Ling?
"Let's go. Let's fight! " Han Xing bit the cigarette at the corner of his mouth and acted like he did not care. "Ro Li, aren't you going to be the first to charge? Why aren't you leading the team? "
"Hmm." Ro Li grinned and moved out without a second thought.
Xi Feng's breathing was choked. She was straightforward, so her heart was about to explode.
She finally understood why Higan forced herself to sit up and say, "Endure it" even when she was unconscious.
Then continue to endure! He had to fight at all costs, if this was the test he had to experience in life!
**
The Devil's Bewildering Fog quickly spread.
An incomparably tragic battle had begun.
There were less than a hundred quasi-Purple Moon Warriors fighting a Level 4 vicious beast on the sea. What would the outcome be?
One thing worth noting was that a pre-Purple Moon Warrior did not even have the ability to fight on the surface of the sea. They had to rely on all kinds of floating objects or even small boats.
Bang! One of the puppets exploded just as the Steel-skinned Electric Eel was about to hit a member of the vanguard.
The two energies collided in the air. The electricity was blocked, and the sailor survived. However, two streams of blood flowed out from Ro Li's nose.
He wiped the blood off his face and continued to command the puppets to fight! Indeed, he had become stronger. His mysterious power, which was also known as the power from the soul, had become denser and more sensitive.
Therefore, he could now split his power into even more parts, and he could control up to 20 puppets at the same time. Furthermore, the power hidden in each puppet was much greater than before.
He was able to control the puppets more nimbly and felt like he was fighting himself.
On top of that, because of the sensitivity, the puppets reacted faster than before. Ro Li even learned a useful and powerful skill — Puppet Self-Destruct!
The explosion might not be as powerful as a naval cannon, but it was at least a fifth of the power of a naval cannon.
Ro Li had become stronger!
That was what everyone else felt! If it were not for Ro Li's puppet self-destruct, the battle would have been a lot harder. Everyone would have been forced to pay a huge price and use their trump cards.
However, how could a powerful skill come without a price? Ro Li was able to command the puppets because of the mysterious power in his body. Every puppet's self-destruction would hurt Ro Li.
Ro Li was not as relaxed as he looked. He wiped the blood off his nose and continued to fight energetically. Only he knew that every time a puppet exploded, it felt like his brain had exploded as well. Not only was it buzzing, but the pain was also unbearable.
However, shouldn't he endure it?
Han Xing, who was leading the charge, was bleeding from the bandage around his sword. One could imagine that the web between his thumb and index finger might have been torn after the intense clash.
He even used his other hand to block the Steel-skinned Electric Eel's head in order to save a sailor who was in charge of delaying the attack. Now, his other hand was twisted.
What about the North, South, East, and West Sons? Xi Feng's battle axe was chipped and her chest was covered in blood. There was even a 10-centimeter-long, bone-deep wound on her thigh.
Even so, she still had to swing her whip that could transform into chains to save people from time to time.
'Fatty will be sad when he wakes up,' Ro Li thought. On the other side, he commanded one of the puppets to block a wave from the Steel-skinned Electric Eel for another sailor.
Falling into the sea during a battle with a Steel-skinned Electric Eel was a dead end because a single electric current could kill a sailor! The seawater conducted electricity, and the electric current from the Steel-skinned Electric Eel was too powerful.
What about Dong Yang and Bei Qi? They seemed to be more heavily injured than Xi Feng. Xi Feng was a girl after all, so everyone was still protecting her, whether it was intentional or not.
Dong Yang's hand that was holding the spear was already trembling. His sleeves had all been torn apart by the shockwave, and one could see a piece of flesh on his bare arm that had been ripped open, revealing his bare flesh.
On the other hand, one of Bei Qi's legs was slightly twisted. He was a person who fought with his body and did not have any special weapons. His legs were the most powerful part of his body, and now that his leg was injured, it could be seen how intense his fighting strength was.
On top of that, Bei Qi's body defense was the best among the young geniuses. Even if Tang Ling was there, he would not dare to claim that his body defense was stronger than Bei Qi's.
However, Bei Qi's injuries …
Ro Li could not bear to watch anymore, but Nan Yu seemed to be in a worse state.
He was fast and there were no visible injuries on his body. The umbrella seemed to be special too as it could defend him at the crucial moment.
However, what happened? Why did Nan Yu spit out a mouthful of blood every time he coughed? Was it because he used a secret technique that was faster than a real Purple Moon Warrior's Transient Step to save the sailors one after another at the crucial moment?
Ro Li would never know the answer because other than their last trump card, who was not giving it their all at the crucial moment?
Everyone seemed to have formed a tacit agreement. There was a bottom line that could not be broken, and that was to not let another Harvest crew die! Not even one!
Yes, they could not defy the order! However, it was everyone's stubbornness to use this method to protect their last bit of dignity!
Under the sunlight, Higan's face was so pale that the thin veins on her face were almost visible. Under the white mantle, her nails almost pierced the skin on her palm.
It was not a strange feeling. It was similar to the time when Tang Ling brushed shoulders with her and the pain of her nails being pierced.
Higan thought that other than Tang Ling, nothing could touch her heart, but now, she heaved a breath of relief.
However, in this situation … Higan heaved a sigh of relief. She felt an unfamiliar emotion. Was it the concern and worry for her friend? Was it because she could not bear the loss of life?
She did not want another Harvest crew member to die. She shared the same thought as everyone else, which was to protect everything at the crucial moment.
She knew what kind of price she would have to pay if she fought again.
After what happened last night, she received a stern warning that she had never received before. Only she knew how unacceptable the consequences would be.
"If one of the crew members dies, I'll fight. I'll fight. Tang Ling … I'll fight, "Higan told herself in her heart.
Amidst the tragedy, no one noticed that the Devil Mist had spread to the fleet. Even though it was extremely thin, it had really appeared.
What did it mean?
Liszt was sitting in the cabin of the Hero Dynasty, watching the Harvest crew members fight for their lives with a strange expression.
No one knew what was going through his mind. The only thing he was sure of was that he was extremely calm at the moment.
However, something soon happened that made him uneasy.
The expression of the crew member who had been controlling the monitor turned very ugly at this moment. He quickly manipulated a few buttons, and a magnified image occupied one-third of the screen. It was still enlarging, and it squeezed the image of the entire battlefield.
"Do you have a death wish?" Anger flashed over Liszt's eyes. However, at the next moment, he stood up.
The picture was filled with a thick mist and it was the edge of the Death Mist Zone.
Even though the mist was thick, it allowed the people to see it clearly. The density of vicious beasts in the Death Mist Zone was astonishing!
At the edge of the zone! There were at least hundreds of vicious beasts roaming around the edge of the screen, and each of the vicious beasts was in an abnormal state. Some of the vicious beasts had a pair of bloodshot eyes, and the madness in their eyes could be felt even from the screen.
Under such circumstances, it was meaningless to differentiate the level of the vicious beasts. There were so many of them. What if they were Level 1 vicious beasts? The whole fleet might be smashed into pieces!
"Captain, the ship at the back of the fleet is only two nautical miles away." The crew member who was scolded by Liszt turned back, his eyes filled with despair.
Liszt didn't need to kill him. Wouldn't he die in this situation?
Liszt stood up in a flash, grabbed the crew member's shirt, and pulled him away. He sat in front of the control panel and quickly pressed various buttons.
Soon, the map of the sea began to shrink, and the ships became like ants. Liszt quickly rolled his eyes.
He began to issue a series of commands.
"The fleet of the first theater of operations head northwest, full speed!"
"The fleet of the seventh theater of operations follow, full speed!"
Everyone was inexplicable. There were Level 5 vicious beasts in the northwest corner? What did that mean?
However, no one would disobey Liszt's orders. So despite their doubts, everyone began to retreat at full speed.
Liszt's brain was running to the extreme. He issued one command after another without stopping.
The firearms on each ship began to be launched to cover the retreat. In less than half a minute, most of the ships that did not participate in the battle had retreated to a reasonable and convenient position.
Then, the combat squads started to retreat!
Liszt was indeed a genius commander. Under his orders, be it delaying, confusing, or covering, all the combat squads retreated in an orderly manner.
However, he had left the Harvest fleet behind, and all the combat squads had retreated. Apart from the Harvest fleet, all the combat personnel had retreated.
"Requesting fire support!" Dongyang had no idea what was going on. It was already hard enough for them to face one Steel-skinned Electric Eel, so why were there two more Level 3 vicious beasts charging at them?!
Alas, there was no response.
It was then that Liszt took a deep breath and pressed a key button. A giant holographic projection appeared in the sky.
The holographic projection was showing the situation in the Death Mist Zone without a doubt.
Everyone saw it for the first time. When this situation appeared, they were shocked. They did not know how to thank Tang Ling or Higan. All they felt was despair and despair.
"It's 1.8 nautical miles away from us. It's spreading even faster! I don't have to explain. I want to protect the majority of the people. Those who continue to fight, hold on even if you have to sacrifice yourself. Of course, when the fleet has retreated to a safer location, we'll support you with all our firepower and ultimate weapons.
"On top of that …" Liszt gave another order to the Dark Nine Feathers and the True Capital Seven's ships to retreat to a safer location from a certain angle.
To everyone's surprise, the two ships did not move.
As a matter of fact, due to some considerations, Liszt did not send the two ships out to fight in the past few days. He did not want them to become the so-called suicide squad.
He had treated them well, but the two ships refused to listen to his orders.
"I don't know why. I don't have the heart to do that, "said Ling Yu, who had been in contact with Wu Qing.
"Yeah, I feel like if we leave now, it'll be like swallowing a fly. It'll be like having that fly in my mouth for the rest of my life," said Wu Qing.
They shared the same feeling.
However, what about the crew of the Harvest?
"Liszt, get the f * ck out here! I want to fight you one on one!" Han Xing roared.
Ro Li, Dong Yang, Bei Qi, and Nan Yu looked at the Hero Dynasty quietly. Their angry and tragic gazes said it all.
It was then that Xi Feng hugged an injured crew member and screamed hysterically, "Tang Ling, where the hell have you been?!"
If you don't show up, everyone will be dead! "
Higan walked a few steps towards the deck and sighed softly.
Tang Ling, I'm afraid we'll really have to part ways. I don't even know when we'll meet again. I'm going to make a move … It's fine.
You'll remember me, won't you? You'll come for me, won't you? Just like how I came for you in the past.
Higan raised her right hand.
"I'll take Higan away." Liszt stood up. In his heart, he had already formed the outline of a plan, even if he had to use the Hero Dynasty's trump card.
His plan would make Higan submit and come to his side! Even if he forced her, given time …
Liszt smiled. It was a smile that he would only show when he won. He was not afraid of the current crisis nor did he care how urgent the situation was. He was confident that he could resolve everything. His focus was on Higan.
However, at that moment, the monitor that was monitoring the situation shone with a faint light. The light shone brightly and expanded!
What's going on? Liszt stopped in his tracks and stared intently at the screen before him!
The light from the monitor formed a light curtain that was more than 10 meters wide and it dashed towards the center of the battlefield at lightning speed.
When it reached the center of the battlefield, the light screen suddenly exploded, scattering into hundreds of scattered light rays.
The light shards quickly dispersed, and after the light faded away, a strange ship appeared on the battlefield and blocked the Steel-skinned Electric Eel's path.
It was the ship!
Everyone knew it. If the monsters from the Battle Hall of the Stardust Council were to come back to life, they would panic without a second thought!
It was their Nightmare Ship, the one that Tang Ling bought from Soqi Black Market and had been specially modified to look like a ship with only one deck.
When Liszt saw the ship, he held his breath. He really wanted to curse at that very moment! When he saw the ship, he would only think of one person — Tang Ling!
How did he appear? Why did the surveillance on the Hero Dynasty not notice him?!
Unfortunately, no one would explain it to Liszt, let alone Tang Ling!
He was standing on the deck in a strange white robe that looked like the white robes of ancient Rome. He had a black mantle over his shoulders.
The ship stopped abruptly. Due to the sudden turn of events, it stirred up a strong wind.
The strong wind fluttered Tang Ling's black mantle and his short black hair, revealing the hilt of the Blood Bulrush Sword on his back.
He did not say a word. All he did was stand there quietly, yet he emanated an aura that was stronger than Liszt's.
If Liszt was a hero on the battlefield, even with Tang Ling's strange appearance, it gave everyone an illusion that he was the king of the battlefield, the one and only king!
The young warriors shared the same thought, but the vicious beasts did not.
Tang Ling's warship, which was charging towards the battlefield, obviously collided with the Steel-skinned Electric Eel. It jumped out of the water without a second thought and its dozens of meters long body reached almost 20 meters out of the water!
It widened its mouth and bit at Tang Ling! The sharp teeth in its mouth reflected a cold gleam under the sunlight.
How angry must it be to attack Tang Ling in such a manner?! It tore at him! It had been tortured enough by these little worms.
Tang Ling did not turn around. Instead, under everyone's shocked and terrified gaze, he raised his hand!
His raised hand grabbed the Steel-skinned Electric Eel's chin. Strictly speaking, it was not exactly grabbing but grabbing a part of the eel's chin.
What the f * ck is this? A mantis trying to stop a chariot? Is he not afraid of being electrocuted?
Everyone was dumbfounded. Tang Ling had finally appeared, but was he here to die?
However, Miracle Kid always created miracles. Something unexpected happened. His hand forcefully blocked the Steel-skinned Electric Eel. The eel seemed to be in disbelief, but its chin could not move down to bite Tang Ling.
Then, everyone saw Tang Ling's expression turn furious. He turned around and punched the Steel-skinned Electric Eel!
"You are so f * cking annoying! Do you know that?!"
A soon-to-be Purple Moon Warrior could punch a Steel-skinned Electric Eel?
Miracle Kid only created miracles! Just when everyone thought Tang Ling had lost his mind, the Steel-skinned Electric Eel's dozens of meters long body was sent flying by Tang Ling's punch. It was lifted up from the sea and flew up into the sky.
Then, it landed heavily on the surface of the sea a few dozen meters away.
What the f * ck? Is Tang Ling's fist a warship cannon? Not even a rank 3 Purple Moon Warrior! No, not even a rank 4 Purple Moon Warrior!
Isn't this person Tang Ling? Is he some rank 5 Purple Moon Warrior in disguise? No, he might even be a high-rank Purple Moon Warrior!
However, Tang Ling did not say anything. He swung his fist and instantly went to the other side of the deck. He squatted down and looked at the Harvest's crew and friends below.
Flash … Flash Steps? Everyone's heart was bombarded by doubts and doubts. The Purple Moon era was amazing enough, but was Tang Ling even more amazing? No, it must not be Tang Ling!
Definitely not!
Tang Ling would never care about such a ridiculous thought. Indescribable rage rumbled in his heart, but he still put on a warm and kind smile.
"Hey, I'm late."
"Tang Ling, you bastard!" Xi Feng screamed at the top of her lungs, snot and tears rolling down her face.
"I'm sorry." Tang Ling's smile was strangely comforting.
Then, Tang Ling looked up at the Harvest not far away and then at Higan. He pointed at her and said, "Go back and rest. Lie down! "
"Okay." Higan's smile bloomed like a blooming flower. Her eyes shone with a charming radiance. Even though they were on a bloody battlefield and the queen was unpredictable and dangerous, everyone could not help but hold their breaths.
"Hey! What the f * ck! " Tang Ling did not say anything else. He stood up and glared at the Hero Dynasty with eyes as cold as ice. "If you don't know how to command, then don't give orders blindly. Is it you who sent my friends and crew members to their deaths, you motherf * cker?"
"If you are tired of living and want to die, then don't drag my men with you! Don't drag my men with you! Stand there and watch how I'm going to fight this war!
"I, Tang Ling, will let you know what it feels like to kneel down and sing 'Conquer'!" Tang Ling removed his black mantle.
Sing 'Conquer'? What was that? Liszt did not understand, but it did not stop him from understanding Tang Ling's insults.
Liszt stood in the middle of the cabin. He clenched his fist and crushed the command scepter in his hand. He had just made it today to show his absolute command.
