Oh no, the northernmost residents are in danger.
Hearing the cries of the seabirds from afar, Shang Zhongyan became nervous. Because those seabirds were all at least level eight, they had flown over from the first sky. When they got close, they descended through the clouds. This posed a problem. They would directly enter the northernmost territory. Once they landed, they would be able to injure the residents of Ice City. There was no need for them to pass through the city walls.
"What are you crying for? Noisy!"
Xiao Hei hated the cries of birds the most. He shook his black fur and threw out a large number of purple lightning balls. These lightning balls were not small. Each one was about the size of a fingernail. Don't underestimate these small lightning balls. Each one was a small bomb.
"Bang bang bang …"
The lightning balls would explode the moment they touched the seabirds. Each explosion was quite powerful. A few holes were blasted open in the dense flock of seabirds. A rough estimate was that tens of thousands of seabirds had died.
"Awesome, Lord Xiao Hei is mighty!"
"Hahaha, these damned beasts. Good job."
The residents of the extreme northern continent danced with joy when they saw this scene. If the seabirds landed in the city, they would be in trouble.
"Prepare the siege crossbows!"
Du Feng was not here, so Shang Zhongyan was in charge. Although Fu Yao's Cultivation was high, he was not good at fighting with soldiers. These siege crossbows were not ordinary crossbows. They were even more powerful than the ones used by Hercules. It was a large crossbow that required several adult men to step on it and pull it open.
There were eleven crossbow bolts installed on the crossbow. In the middle was a thick and large fire bolt that would explode after hitting the enemy. There were five thin iron bolts on each side, used to kill the smaller sea demons.
"Fire!"
Shang Zhongyan gave the order. The siege crossbows were all fired at the seabirds in the air. The sea beasts had not reached the shore yet, but the seabirds were already flying closer. If they were not stopped, they would enter Ice City.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh …"
Although they were fired from the same crossbow, the thin iron bolts were much faster than the thick fire arrows. With a whooshing sound, he charged toward the flock of seabirds. Each ballista could shoot ten iron arrows. With over ten thousand ballistas surrounding the city walls, they could shoot one hundred thousand iron arrows at a time.
More importantly, this kind of siege ballista didn't need specialized city guards to operate it. Ordinary residents of the extreme northern continent, as long as they still had some strength in their bodies, could help to fill in the arrows and pull the spring.
"Puchi! Puchi … "
The tips of those slender iron arrows were extremely sharp and hard. The bolts were launched by the ballistae. They flew at high speed and had a strong penetrative power. When they pierced into the seabirds' bodies, the sound of sharp blades cutting into flesh could be heard. It was quite enjoyable to listen to. Although the size of the seabird was not small, it could not withstand being hit by several iron arrows at the same time. His neck, wings, and other parts of his body were all pierced through, and he fell down uncontrollably.
The seabirds at the front fell one after another, and the seabirds at the back took their places. At this moment, the slower large rocket arrived.
"Bang, bang, bang …"
Another round of indiscriminate bombardment. Tens of thousands of rockets exploded, and the killing effect was no weaker than Xiao Hei's ball lightning just now. This was the combination of the power of the masses and large-scale engineering equipment.
"What's going on? When did they become so powerful?"
The Dragons, who were secretly observing from afar, saw large swathes of seabirds being killed, and felt a little incredulous. The ruler of this land, Du Feng, was clearly not here. Why did the resistance of the people become stronger? Although the Dragons had the advantage of bloodline, in terms of making and using tools, they could not compare to humans.
At most, they wore armor and used weapons such as swords and knives. As for things like siege ballistae, the Dragons could not understand. Those things were big and small. What was the use of requiring several people to operate them at the same time? Now they understood that those things were not only useful, but also very useful.
A resident of the extreme northern continent was very weak, and he could not even defeat a seabird. However, a few people and a siege ballista could kill a large number of seabirds. Before the flock of seabirds could enter the ice city, tens of thousands of them had already been killed.
"Watch me!"
While the people were installing the ballistae, Xiao Hei threw out a large number of ball lightning balls, just in time to fill the gap between the attacks. After a series of explosions, tens of thousands of seabirds were killed. The plan to directly rush into the ice city and kill the civilians had completely failed.
"No more waiting. Everyone, attack!"
The Dragons' original plan was to let the seabirds rush in and kill the civilians first, disrupting the order of the extreme northern continent. It would be best if they could kill the soldiers operating the Ice Soul Cannons from the rear. In this way, they would send large sea beasts to attack the coastline, and there would not be so many casualties.
Now that the plan had failed, they had to change their strategy and let all the sea beasts attack with all their might. The sea turtles with strong defense were in front, and the large fish with faster swimming speed were in charge of pushing. The smaller but more agile sea beasts hid in the back. When they got close to the shore, they jumped directly onto the shore and fought in close combat.
It had to be said that this time, the Dragons came prepared, and their plan was quite thorough. If their plan succeeded, even if they could not destroy the Ice King Palace, they could still kill more than half of the residents of the extreme northern continent.
This was not going to be easy! Xiao Hei looked at the formation of the sea beast army and felt a little troubled. Although its purple lightning was powerful, it could not be used indefinitely. Moreover, the sea turtles in front were very cunning. They all retracted their heads and legs, hiding in thick turtle shells. They were like floating fortresses, propelled by the underwater fish.
In this way, even if he threw out a large number of lightning balls, they would only hit the turtle shell, and the damage would be limited. If only brother Du was here, he could shoot the penetrating arrows. He could pierce through the turtle shell and directly destroy its internal organs. Or he could use the Thousand-Mile Ice Seal to freeze the surface of the sea and slow down the sea beasts.
At this moment, Fu Yao appeared. She held the Ice Soul Scepter and stood in the air. She looked around and ordered all the Ice Soul Cannons to fire at the surface of the sea. That's right, they were to fire at the surface of the sea, not at the sea beasts.
What did this mean? Xiao Hei did not understand. Firing at the surface of the sea was not equivalent to wasting Ice Soul Bullets. One had to know that the Ice Soul Cannons had a limited energy storage, and they needed to rest after firing a few shots. Firing at the surface of the sea was not equivalent to doing useless work.
