"What are they trying to do?"
When Shi Feng saw the Freedom Alliance's fleet charging at the sea monsters without hesitation, he couldn't figure out what the Freedom Alliance's members were trying to do.
As seasoned naval combatants, logically, they shouldn't have made such a low-level mistake.
Sea monsters were not like land monsters. Not only were their bodies massive, but they also affected the terrain of the battlefield. Their attacks had a wide range, making it difficult for players to dodge or defend against them. Sea monsters were far more difficult to fight than land monsters.
Normally, players needed to have a clear division of labor and arrangements before a battle began. They also needed to be well-positioned. If a single mistake occurred, they'd have to pay the price in blood.
The Freedom Alliance's fleet was simply suicidal.
When players fought land monsters, at most, they'd lose a few players if they made a mistake. However, if they made a mistake at sea, they'd have to pay the price of destroying their ships.
Even if a ship wasn't destroyed, after being struck by a sea monster, its durability would decrease. Once it reached a certain point, it would become like a weapon or equipment. Repairing a ship was much more expensive than repairing equipment. In addition, repairing a ship was much more time-consuming. Unlike repairing equipment, which could be repaired very quickly, repairing a ship was much faster.
However, just as Shifeng grew curious, the Freedom Alliance's members noticed Shifeng's Swift Dragon Speedboat.
"Commander, there's a speedboat over there. By the looks of it, it's of high quality. Should we chase it away before taking action?" A Level 41 male Elementalist in dark-blue mage robes asked respectfully as he looked at a muscular man with a cheetah's body.
This man was none other than Passing Monarch, the commander of the Freedom Alliance's Third Fleet. Everyone in Sea's End knew about him.
"Ignore him. It's just a speedboat. It won't affect us in the slightest. If he tries to attack us, just kill him as well," Passing Monarch said indifferently. Glancing at the distant Swift Dragon Speedboat, he nonchalantly said, "Alright, let's proceed with the plan."
They had a total of 120 speedboats on their fleet. Among them, 24 were advanced speedboats. They also had four Bronze Speedboats. A single speedboat wouldn't even cause a ripple in front of them. If they wanted to, they could sink the Swift Dragon Speedboat in minutes.
"Understood!"
Then, the entire fleet spread out and surrounded the group of sea beasts.
"Roar!"
At this moment, the sea monster horde quickly discovered the Freedom Alliance's fleet and revealed its true appearance. It was a gigantic Sea Serpent King. Its head alone was the size of a three-story building. When it roared, the surrounding waves surged towards the fleet, one after another.
Aside from the Sea Serpent King, which was several hundred meters long, there were also many One-horned Sea Serpents, each of which was 60 to 70 meters long. If an ordinary player were to see this scene, their faces would turn pale with fright.
[Sea Serpent King] (Sea King Creature, King-class Sea Beast, Great Lord) Level 52 HP 160,000,000/160,000,000
[One-horned Sea Snake] (Sea Monster, Chieftain) Level 50 HP 18,000,000/18,000,000
"King-class Sea Beasts!" Shifeng was shocked when he saw the Sea Beasts' true appearances.
Sea monsters were slightly different from land monsters. The difference was their life rating. The higher their life rating, the stronger they would be at the same level. This was the SS of the SS.
Generally, sea monsters were divided into Common, Chieftain, King-class, and the legendary Totem rank.
The Life Rating of a King-class monster was already on par with the Archaic Species of the continent. Not only were King-class monsters extremely rare, but they were also incredibly strong. As for Totem monsters, they were the legendary Primordial Ferocious Beasts, such as the Nine-headed Magic Snake, whose Life Rating was even higher than ordinary Dragons. Even Tier 6 Gods would have a hard time killing such a Primordial Ferocious Beast.
Yet, the Sea Serpent King was actually a King-class monster. Even if it was only a Great Lord, it could annihilate an entire fleet.
That's right, annihilate a fleet!
Normally, King-class Sea Beasts lived in extremely dangerous regions. They wouldn't appear in such a place.
Just as Shifeng was about to steer his speedboat away from the area, the Sea Serpent King roared at the sky. Suddenly, dark clouds covered the clear sky, enveloping all of the speedboats.
As expected of a King-class Sea Beast. It can already use a Domain at the Great Lord rank? Shifeng's expression turned ugly as he looked at the sky.
The Sea Serpent King's Domain was called Weather Control, and it could control an area's weather.
A short moment later, tornadoes appeared on the surface of the sea, enveloping the surrounding area and preventing players from leaving the area. This was also one of the reasons why players would annihilate King-class Sea Beasts whenever they encountered one.
However, as if the Freedom Alliance's fleet had anticipated this situation, one magic array after another appeared on the scattered fleets. A total of 100 speedboats then formed a blue magic array that covered the entire area.
In total, three blue magic arrays appeared.
Following which, blue lightning bolts descended from the sky, sealing off all of the sea monsters' movements.
What a powerful threefold magic array. Shifeng was astonished when he saw the Sea Serpent King's movements being suppressed.
A magic array capable of suppressing a King-class Sea Beast was, at the very least, an Intermediate Magic Array.
Moreover, the power of a magic array would multiply with each additional layer. Now that the Sea Serpent King could use a threefold magic array, its power would increase threefold.
While Shifeng was astonished, the Freedom Alliance's players took action. While 100 of the Freedom Alliance's ships maintained the magic array, the remaining 20 began to surround and attack the sea monsters.
Naval battles were different from land battles. Sea monsters' attacks had a wide AOE. With players' Movement Speed, it was impossible to dodge the sea monsters' attacks. Hence, players needed to rely on their ships to avoid the sea monsters' attacks. If they couldn't, the ships' MTs would tank the attacks. Ranged players and the ships' Attack Power were the main reason why ships were more important than expert players at sea.
In the next moment, 20 speedboats frantically attacked the Sea Serpent King and One-horned Sea Serpent.
Due to the magic array's suppression, both the Sea Serpent King and One-horned Sea Serpent's movements were greatly restricted. In addition, the Freedom Alliance's speedboats were of high quality, so they dodged every one of the Sea Serpent King's attacks. Even if the Freedom Alliance's speedboats took the brunt of the attacks, the MTs wearing the speedboats took the brunt of the damage, reducing their ships' durability losses.
The only problem was the Sea Serpent King, a King-class Sea Serpent King.
However, the Freedom Alliance's fleet was very powerful. Four Bronze Speedboats were responsible for tanking the Sea Serpent King's attacks. Bronze Speedboats possessed a certain degree of damage reduction. Even if the Sea Serpent King's attacks struck the Bronze Speedboats, the damage would be reduced by a portion. Only after players had charged forward to tank the Sea Serpent King's attacks did the Freedom Alliance's fleet survive. If the Freedom Alliance had used an advanced speedboat, the MTs would've died instantly.
After another round of cannon fire and attacks, the Chieftain ranked One-horned Sea Serpent was quickly killed.
In the end, only the Sea Serpent King remained. However, it still had over 100,000,000 HP. Meanwhile, as the Sea Serpent King received more damage, its attacks grew stronger and faster. It was obvious that the Sea Serpent King had adapted to the magic array's suppression.
Originally, the five MTs had been responsible for splitting the damage. Every time they received an attack, they would lose one-third of their HPs. Now, however, their HPs had fallen to half. If the Sea Serpent King attacked them twice in a row, the MTs on the speedboats would be finished …
"Increase the healing! If the Sea Serpent King's Mana falls below 25%, use Mana Recovery Potions immediately! Old Witch, hold on for a while! I'm going to give this little snake a good beating! "Passing Monarch hurriedly commanded as he watched the Sea Serpent King's ferocity grow.
"Leave it to me." The speedboat party leader named Old Witch nodded, smiling.
However, before Old Witch could finish his sentence, the Sea Serpent King opened its maw, a large amount of Mana gathering in its mouth. The Mana then spewed out of the Sea Serpent King's mouth, sweeping across half of the battlefield. On the spot, three advanced speedboats were crippled, while the other five had less than half of their Durability remaining. Over half of the players aboard the speedboats had died.
