Song Zhong had no idea what to do with so many followers. He could only take one step at a time.
However, after being completely exposed, it was not easy to escape from the densely packed Demon Race army.
Not long after the fleet left, they bumped into another Demon Race army. What was more troublesome was that this demon army was made up of vultures that had the ability to fly. Moreover, there were a lot of them, more than five million of them. When they flew in the sky, they covered the sky like an endless dark cloud.
After seeing how terrifying Song Zhong's fleet was, the Demon Race no longer expected the army on the ground to be able to stop them. That was why they sent out this flying army.
The vulture demons were not very powerful. Ordinary warriors did not have many long-range attacks unless they were Heavenly Immortals.
However, these vultures were born with a body of steel feathers. They could withstand ordinary attacks. They had thick skin and thick flesh. In addition, they were born with great strength and had the advantage in the air. Therefore, they were very powerful in close combat.
Despite the defensive capabilities of SongZhong's flying boat, it would definitely not be able to withstand the attacks of so many vultures. Furthermore, the moment they get close, SongZhong's Dragon Patterned Cannon would be rendered useless. The explosion radius of the divine lightning was just too wide, easily thousands of feet. Even SongZhong's protective divine light would be damaged.
Therefore, when Song Zhong saw so many troublesome fellows, his expression changed. He quickly ordered the cannons to fire and not let them get close.
Following Song Zhong's order, the spherical fleet in the sky immediately launched a fierce attack. Millions of Dragon Cannons roared again. Countless rainbow-colored cannons shot towards the vultures in all directions like a meteor shower.
In the next moment, millions of Divine Thunderbolts exploded. Huge fireballs almost shattered the space hundreds of miles away. The intense light made the Flower Demons on the ship unable to open their eyes.
Vulture, who was in the middle of the explosion, suffered heavy losses from the terrifying explosion. Countless vultures were turned into ashes. The entire sky was cleared.
However, Song Zhong's cannons did not scare these fellows away. On the contrary, the death of their comrades aroused their hidden ferocity.
Therefore, the vultures that were not dead let out a shrill cry. Then, their bodies emitted a red light and their flying speed increased by several times.
It turned out that the vultures had a unique skill. They could burn their essence blood to increase their flying speed. It was very useful for escaping or chasing after enemies. Especially when it was used at this moment, it posed a huge threat to SongZhong's fleet.
After all, the Dragon Cannons could not fire continuously. Every time they fired, they had to reload. This process took less than a breath's time.
If the vultures did not increase their speed, they would only be able to advance by a hundred kilometres before SongZhong's second wave of cannon fire would have arrived, turning the vanguard of the vultures into ashes. If the people behind were to continue advancing, they would have to be baptised by the cannon fire. As a result, even if all the vultures died, they might not be able to get close to Song Zhong's fleet.
However, the situation was completely different now that the vultures had increased their speed. When the second wave of cannons began, the vultures had already advanced 300 to 400 miles. Although the vanguard was wiped out by the cannons, the rest of the vultures persevered and advanced another few hundred miles.
As a result, the vulture army got close to Song Zhong's fleet in just three rounds of cannons and attacked the flying ship fiercely.
Their sharp claws clawed viciously at the protective divine light of the flying ship. Although one or two of them wouldn't have any effect on the divine light, when tens of thousands of them clawed at the same time, even a five thousand feet long flying ship couldn't ignore such a powerful attack. The protective divine light soon began to tremble violently, forcing the flower demons to increase the amount of immortal Qi they were injecting into the defensive formation.
At this point, the Dragon Cannons could no longer be used. As long as the cannons were fired, they would definitely hit the vultures outside and explode near the flying ship. By then, before many of the vultures were killed, Song Zhong's flying ship might be destroyed by the Dragon Cannons first.
As a result, Song Zhong had ordered the cannons to stop firing long ago. Then, he had the flower demons go up to the deck and attack personally.
With Song Zhong's order, tens of thousands of flower demons immediately appeared on each flying ship. They stood at various parts of the ship and released their Dharma treasures to attack the vultures outside.
These flower demons were not very powerful. The weakest of them was only in the Severed Soul Stage. However, the Dharma treasures in their hands were very powerful. They were all Immortal Artifacts. Although they were all low-grade Immortal Artifacts, for their level, they were considered very good equipment.
Even the celestial soldiers and celestial generals did not have Immortal Artifacts. Only the prodigal Song Zhong could be so extravagant.
After dissecting the garbage mountain in the East Imperial Realm, he had more materials than he could use. Naturally, he took out some of them to equip his subordinates. That was why his flower demons used Immortal Artifacts.
The power of Immortal Artifacts was naturally extraordinary. There was a huge difference between having Immortal Artifacts and not having Immortal Artifacts. As soon as these flower demons unleashed their immortal tools, they immediately released countless streaks of light, killing and injuring the vultures outside the flying boat.
Emperor Gouchen, who was in the Sun Divine Boat, was shocked when he saw this. Not only him, but the people around him were also shocked.
After all, even though low-grade immortal artifacts were nothing in their eyes, a large number of low-grade immortal artifacts that could arm millions of their subordinates was simply too shocking.
Even Emperor Gouchen, who was a wealthy divine emperor, could only equip the most elite imperial guards with immortal treasures. As for the other ordinary warriors, they could only equip Zhu Rong Tian's armors.
On the other hand, Song Zhong was just a puny Realm Lord. Moreover, he had only been in the Immortal World for a few hundred years. How could he have such a rich family background?
Don't forget that he sold the North Star Emperor 20 thousand miles worth of materials in one go. In addition to the equipment under his command, just how many resources did he have in his hands? He could probably be compared with Zhu Rong Tian, who provided logistics for the five divine emperors.
This shocking conclusion caused the North Star Emperor and his subordinates to be extremely shocked. They could not help but think highly of SongZhong in their hearts.
Right at this moment, SongZhong's fleet of flying ships finally suppressed the attacks of the vultures.
After all, the flower demons were protected by the divine light of the flying boat, so they didn't need to worry about their own safety. They only needed to attack with all their might. In addition, they had a large number of powerful immortal artifacts. When they counterattacked with all their might, they naturally had the upper hand. All the vultures that dared to approach the flying boat suffered from their sharp attacks.
Even though the vultures were extremely fierce and launched wave after wave of attacks, they were helpless. They couldn't break the shield of the flying boat in a short period of time, so they couldn't hurt the flower demons inside.
However, under the counterattack of the Flower Demons, they had suffered heavy casualties. Originally, burning one's blood essence would reduce one's strength. Now that they had encountered an army of Flower Demons that had the same number of people and better equipment than them, they were naturally beaten to a pulp.
Finally, after less than an hour of fighting, the vultures couldn't hold on any longer.
On the way, they had lost one or two million vultures. In the half an hour of fighting, another two million had died in the hands of millions of flower demons. The remaining vultures saw that not even a hair of the flying boat was bitten off. The hundreds of troops were fine. If they continued to fight, they would be courting death. Therefore, they instantly lost the will to fight.
The remaining vultures saw that the situation wasn't good. They quickly flew away and didn't dare to approach the flying boat. When they moved away, they gave the dragon pattern cannons a chance. The dragon pattern cannons that had been silent for a long time roared angrily again. After millions of cannons exploded, they formed a cloud of fire and instantly drowned the remaining vultures!
Thus, the heavens and the earth were instantly cleared, and only a few thousand vultures escaped the calamity and flew off into the distance while wailing.
The dragon-pattern cannons of the flying boat were naturally powerful against large enemies, but it was very difficult for them to accurately hit a single small target. If they wanted to kill all those escaping guys, they would have to fire again.
However, a few thousand small vultures were clearly not worth the expenditure of millions of artillery shells. Thus, Song Zhong ignored them and continued to lead the army forward.
Don't look at how Song Zhong has achieved a temporary victory, but in fact, he's only dealt a blow to a small vanguard. For the Demon Realm, this kind of loss is completely insignificant. Therefore, Song Zhong did not rejoice because of this.
The North Star Emperor walked over with a chuckle and said, "Haha, not bad, not bad. It seems that I have chosen the right person. Nephew's fleet is really strong. I originally thought that you wouldn't be able to deal with so many vultures, but I didn't expect you to annihilate them all without suffering any damage. The younger generation is really formidable! "
"You flatter me, you flatter me!" Song Zhong hurriedly said modestly, then smiled bitterly and said, "These vultures are just cannon fodder. They don't even have long-range attacks, and there are no experts among them. Their combat strength is abnormally low. They are obviously using them to test us. I believe that we will soon face an even more terrifying opponent! "
"Haha, don't worry. Don't you still have us?" The North Star Emperor smiled and said, "With such a strong fleet like yours, in addition to my elite troops, I believe that even if we are really surrounded by the Demon Realm, we will be able to turn the danger into safety!"
"Haha, let's hope so!" Song Zhong smiled and said.
However, before Song Zhong's voice died down, a large black cloud suddenly appeared in the distant sky. Upon closer look, it was actually a terrifying army formed by countless demons and ghosts. From the looks of it, the Demon Realm's general attack has clearly begun! (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please go to www.qidian.com, there are more chapters.
