What was to come couldn't be avoided!
Happy stood at the bow of the ship and observed the actions of the martial artists on both sides through the holes. He noticed that the number of people was still increasing, and he knew that the Murong Clan's warship and a few hundred people would definitely not be able to intimidate the crowd. He circulated his qi, and his blue robes fluttered even though there was no wind. He was already prepared to attack.
This battle!
To be honest, he had no confidence at all.
It would have been fine if it was a small-scale battle, but in such a large-scale group mission, especially on such a wide and flat river, he could only protect himself. It was impossible for him to protect Xu Hong and the fleet, unless there was a further change and a miracle.
Boom!
At that moment, the ten thousand martial artists on both sides were finally unable to hold themselves back. Right when a black figure rushed to the fleet at the back, more people shouted, and with a roar that could topple mountains and overturn seas, they jumped up and pounced on the salt ship that was closest to them.
"Kill!"
"Kill!" Their voices surged into the air, and all of Common Reed Bank seemed to have burst into a commotion. A dense group of martial artists surrounded the fleet like a swarm of locusts.
"Fire!"
Xu Hong did not hesitate at all!
The armed escorts on the fleet resolutely signaled with their flags.
Puff! Puff!
With the sound of a bow being pulled, the two sides of the fleet suddenly spat out a dense rain of black arrows! The arrows were like locusts, and in an instant, they arrived in front of the group of martial artists at the forefront.
Blood-curdling screams rang out everywhere!
Countless blood flowers blossomed in the air!
The group of impulsive men and women who had been in high spirits instantly tasted the consequences of charging head-on into the Murong Clan. Even though the Murong Clan did not have a lot of people, they had two repeating crossbows, and their momentum did not lose to that of a thousand-man archer battalion. In fact, their damage was even above that of archers. In an instant, they struck down the martial artists on both sides.
Nearly a hundred people had died in battle, and several hundred were injured!
However …
Their sacrifice was still worth it. The rear quickly advanced to within 50 meters.
When he saw this, he frowned. When he faced the dense group of martial artists that stretched for hundreds of feet from Common Reed Bank, he could not help but feel a deep sense of helplessness.
With the fleet's manpower and firing speed, they could at most kill a few hundred people. After that, the fleet would be massacred!
When he saw that the dense group of people were getting closer to the surface of the river and were about to board the salt ships, he had already made the decision to give up on the quest and break out of the encirclement.
Right at this moment!
Xu Hong snorted coldly while he faced Common Reed Bank.
"Courting death!"
Happy was stunned.
He looked over …
He was just in time to see Xu Hong raise his index finger at the armed escort on the mast. The killing intent in his eyes was incredibly strong and fierce.
The armed escort on the mast seemed to have been waiting for a long time. When he saw Xu Hong's gesture, his spirits lifted. He quickly waved his flag and released a secret flag signal.
The next second.
A strange sound came from outside the ship.
Happy did not dare to be negligent. He quickly activated the bird's eye view.
See!
The metal wings around the ship suddenly let out screeching sounds, and hundreds of black holes opened up densely on the independent wings. Happy's eyes lit up when he saw it.
Although it was his first time coming into contact with this kind of thing, the moment this kind of mechanism was exposed, even he felt a deep sense of danger from the bottom of his heart.
Even Happy had noticed and sensed the dangerous presence in the boat, much less the martial artists who had rushed to the surface of the river.
Seeing that the metal wings were suddenly covered with dense black holes that looked like bullet holes, a chill that could make one's soul leave their body instantly surged into their hearts, gripping them tightly.
"Not good!"
"What the heck?! This is a scam! "
"Dodge!"
All sorts of cries of surprise rose and fell.
Everyone circulated their qi madly and strengthened their body fortifications at all costs. At the same time, they retreated in a panic, jumped into the river, or used Thousand Kilogram Fall to land on the ground to avoid danger.
What a pity!
It was already too late.
Countless fine flying needles intercepted all the enemies within a circular area of sixty-five feet. Their body fortifications, true qi, and qi were all destroyed.
In an instant, countless players felt countless tiny waves of pain spread through their bodies. In an instant, a feeling of exhaustion rose in their hearts, and they crashed to the ground while covered in blood.
There were not many casualties. Only less than two hundred unlucky people died because their heads were pierced through. The other people's fatal spots were not damaged, so they only suffered injuries of varying severity.
However …
Once they landed on the ground, the group made an even more terrifying discovery!
Their qi instantly flowed out of their bodies.
Not only could they not activate their body fortifications, even their qi realm had fallen to zero, and they needed to circulate their qi again to make up for it.
This discovery caused the people near the river to break out in a cold sweat and stop in their tracks!
Even some of the experts in the crowd were furious. Without inner force, they couldn't even board the ship. If they continued to rush forward, wasn't that stupid?
"Wow! Fuck! "
The man with the two short axes was the most depressed. Originally, he had relied on his extraordinary body fortification and equipment to safely survive a few rounds of crossbow bolts and charge at the forefront. He did not expect that this round of flying needles would directly exhaust his True Qi and cause him to fall into the water.
With great difficulty, he crawled to the shore and returned to the crowd in a sorry state. He sat down and circulated his energy.
As the steel fleet's mysterious and unpredictable flying needles covered a large area, there was finally a moment of peace when the two sides made contact. The fleet was still unharmed.
"…"
He did not expect that the fleet would have such a powerful mechanism, and his heart instantly calmed down.
He thought to himself,
As expected, the system wouldn't give out quests that required certain death. The balance was still there. This meant that there was still a chance!
However, at this moment, Xu Hong walked over with a dark expression.
"Officer Happy!"
"Officer Xu, do you have any orders for me?"
"Officer Happy, you're exaggerating. However, the fleet has indeed run into unprecedented trouble. There is something I must tell you clearly."
Xu Hong's tone was very solemn, and Happy could not help but feel his heart tense. 'Is this mechanism a one-time use?'
"Go ahead."
"It's like this." Xu Hong sighed.
"The Murong Clan is famous far and wide, and we will never allow anyone to desecrate our dignity. For the safety of our goods, the fleet is usually equipped with all sorts of powerful mechanisms, but these things are prepared for normal water spirits. We have never considered using them against such a large number of enemies."
"…"
'I knew it!'
But what Xu Hong said was not wrong. If they continued to equip the fleet with weapons of a national level, even the Eastern Depot and Western Depot would not let the Murong Clan off so easily.
"The flying needles on the ship can at most last until we reach a rather wide area of water ahead, but it's not big. The further we go, the narrower it will become. That's why I intend to gather the fleet once we reach the area ahead and form a circular formation. We will work together and gather our firepower together. Perhaps we will have a chance to destroy the enemies at Common Reed Bank! "But this is a battle with our backs against the wall, and the danger is too great! At that time, I might not even be able to take care of myself. "
When he heard Xu Hong's arrangements, Happy's eyes lit up.
"Officer Xu, don't worry. For the glory of the Murong Clan! I will definitely do my best to help everyone repel the powerful enemies. "
'A wide area of water and a circular formation to repel the enemies.
'If that's the case, the situation might not be as bad as it seems.'
Happy thought.
