On the morning of the 2nd day, snowflakes started to fall from the sky. The dense snowflakes seemed to have covered the sea with a thin layer of fog. As a result, the situation several hundred meters away could no longer be seen clearly.
The gurgling water constantly lapped against the sides of the warships. The dragon-shaped flag of the Longdan Army Camp fluttered in the wind. 500 ships appeared in the sea in a square formation. From afar, the rumbling sound of war drums could be heard. Filet's fleet had arrived.
"Lord, quickly look!"
The deputy general pointed into the distance.
Xu Jiantao squinted his eyes. His gaze pierced through the curtain of snow. About 600 to 700 meters away, he could vaguely see the traces of the Celestial Pole's land warships. They were actually so close.
"The enemy is about to enter the firing range of our magic crystal cannons. Should we attack now?" the deputy general asked.
"No."
Xu Jiantao shook his head. "Let them get closer. The magic crystal cannons of the Shang army are all passed down from the three empires. Most of them are crudely made and their effective firing range is not more than 600 meters. Let them open fire first before we retaliate. Beat the drums and relay the order. The warships on both sides are to move closer to the center and cover the flagship. Don't let the flagship be completely exposed to the enemy's firing range. "
"Yes, Lord!"
The rumbling sound of the war drums could be heard. The flag bearers on the observation deck of the flagship were also waving their flags to the surroundings. However, the curtain of snow was very thick. The other warships might not be able to see it clearly. They could only coordinate with the sound of the drums.
...
In the fleet of the Shang Army, 2,200 warships were spread out on the surface of the sea, stretching for nearly five miles. They were approaching the Shang Army at high speed, as if they were going to swallow the Shang Army whole. Their flagship was a warship wrapped in black iron sheets. There were countless archers on the warship, and it was also equipped with two excellent magic crystal cannons. Those were the heavy cannons that the Tianji Empire's army had seized from the Lingdong Province.
Filet sat on a huge chair with a sharp sword in his hand. He looked into the distance and said, "Observer, report back to me how many warships and soldiers they have."
"Reporting to Vice Commander, I can't see clearly. The snow is too heavy. However, the sound of the drums is very dense. There should be quite a number of soldiers. Furthermore, the flag of the enemy is the flag of the Longdan Army Camp. They should be Lin Muyu's main force if they dare to fight us!"
"Lin Muyu's main force?"
Filet couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Beat the drums, full speed attack! Order the warships on both wings to advance at full speed, outflank their formation, and form an encirclement. Today, I will make Lin Muyu and Feng Jixing die without a burial! "
"Yes!"
The drums grew louder. The sailors pushed the oars with all their might, and the ship moved forward quickly. At the same time, the huge cannons in the snow curtain pointed forward and spat out fire. For a moment, purple mushroom clouds rose up from the sea in the distance. Some of the heavy cannons even hit their targets directly, causing the warships of the Longdan Army Camp to collapse instantly and sink rapidly.
"Hahaha … That's it. Full speed ahead, attack!"
Jin Chong raised his spear and stood next to Filet. He laughed loudly and said, "This time, we will let that coward Chen Yu know how weak his opponent is!"
A group of soldiers on the flagship raised their weapons and cheered. For a moment, the morale of the Shang army's fleet soared.
"Boom, boom, boom …"
In the distance, the warships of the Longdan Army Camp finally returned fire. In just one volley, a dozen of the Shang army's warships had been hit by the cannons and caught fire. Some even had their ammunition depots destroyed, and the magic crystal cannons detonated, instantly shattering into pieces and sinking.
"Move faster!"
Filet roared angrily.
Jin Chong narrowed his eyes and said, "It seems like we can't catch up, Vice Commander. These cowardly Qin Army warships seem to be … retreating? They are only using their tail cannons to bombard us! "
"Damn it, I don't care that much. Attack!"
"Yes!"
A Captaincy at the side said anxiously, "Vice Commander, many of our warships have been hit by the cannons and are sinking. Should we stop and rescue those soldiers who have fallen into the water?"
"Stop what? Let the warships at the back go and rescue them. The first warships, continue forward and chase after the enemy. "
"Yes!"
However, the warships of the Longdan Army Camp kept a distance of nearly 600 meters, causing the accuracy of the heavy cannons of the Shang army to be extremely poor. On the other hand, the heavy cannons of the Longdan Army Camp seemed to be possessed by ghosts and gods. Under the continuous bombardment, no less than a hundred warships of the Shang army had been hit. The magic crystal cannons were extremely powerful. Even the iron clad warships had their armor melted and sank rapidly.
"Damn it …"
Filet suddenly stood up and drew his sword. He said, "I told you to run … I will make sure you have nowhere to run!"
"Vice Commander, what are you doing?" Jin Chong was shocked.
"You guard the flagship. I will be right back!"
Felix bellowed, and his whole body was covered in demonic flames. He instantly entered the demonic god-like state and flew along the surface of the sea like a bolt of lightning. His longsword buzzed and trembled, and the biting-cold sword Qi that was filled with demonic qi instantly bombarded the rear of a battleship of the Valiant Dragon Battalion. Immediately, the deck of the battleship collapsed, and two medium-sized magic crystal cannons were instantly torn apart. The entire tail of the battleship also disappeared.
"Hahaha, come …"
Filet didn't stop and charged forward. The demonic flames spread out on the surface of the sea. He began to use his domain power to control the direction of the ocean current. Instantly, a three-meter tall wave cut off the retreat of the Longdan Army Camp's fleet. The huge wave swept over and pushed the warships towards the Shang army's fleet. At least a hundred warships were in danger.
"All of you, die!"
Filet's eyes glowed fiercely. His entire being was filled with hostility.
"Archers, aim and fire!"
"Magic crystal cannons, aim at that person!"
The nearby Longdan Army Camp warships turned their cannons. In the next moment, arrows rained down on Filet's protective aura. What was even worse was that the magic crystal cannons fired more than ten consecutive shots at Filet's position. For a moment, purple light soared into the sky and exploded a huge whirlpool on the surface of the sea.
However, Filet wasn't hit. His flying speed was too fast. The sword in his hand carried an awe-inspiring glow as he pounced towards the flagship of the Longdan Army Camp. The warship with the bronze tiger standing on its bow!
"He's here!"
The people on the flagship were shocked. Only Xu Jiantao remained calm. He said, "Archers, shoot him with the demonic heart arrow immediately after I activate the Heavenly Book!"
As he spoke, Xu Jiantao suddenly raised the sword in his hand. Immediately, the power of heaven and earth flowed, instantly triggering the power of the Heavenly Book. With a buzzing sound, raging flames spread out. It was a middle-grade Heavenly Book of the Law of Fire!
However, what Xu Jiantao didn't expect was that Filet's figure suddenly disappeared midway. The next moment, he appeared less than three meters away!
"Commander, be careful!"
A figure quickly appeared in front of Xu Jiantao. It was Nangong Lie, one of the top experts of the Dragon League. He was also one of the experts who maintained the cultivation of the Sanctuary-realm. The sharp sword in Nangong Lie's hand surged with the king's combat flame. He slashed at Filet's longsword head-on.
"Get lost!"
Filet's strength was too domineering and vigorous. With a "bang", the two swords collided. Nangong Lie's longsword was actually knocked out of his hand, and his body flew out like a cannonball. With a "bang, bang, bang" sound, he crashed into countless wooden boards and cabins, lying in a mess in a sorry state.
If Nangong Lie had half of his cultivation in the past, it would be enough to suppress Filet. Unfortunately, the righteous path had declined, and most of Nangong Lie's cultivation had also disappeared.
"Die!"
Faced with the dense arrows around him, Filet suddenly swung his sword, instantly killing several nearby archers. He continued to look fiercely at Xu Jiantao, who was wearing the commander's battle robe, and said with a hideous smile, "You are Lin Muyu? I want you dead! "
"Sword Formation!"
Xu Jiantao shouted in a low voice, and more than a dozen Longdan Army Camp experts behind him pounced on him. With flashing swords, they went straight for Filet.
Although Filet had the absolute advantage in strength, he did not dare to underestimate the sword formation. These sharp swords were tempered with Demonic Heart Stones. Once they were scratched, they would become ordinary people. Then, they would be at the mercy of others.
With a fall, Filet stepped on the deck and directly fell into the warehouse below the deck. A cold light flashed over his head. The power of the sword formation was indeed not to be underestimated!
"Boom!"
With wooden debris flying out, Filet swept his longsword horizontally. Nearly five meters of sword Qi swept across, and suddenly, the abdomens of three Longdan Army Camp experts were cut by the sword Qi, and they fell straight down.
This Filet was completely invincible.
"Protect the Lord!"
Everyone shouted in unison, and the crossbowmen continued to shoot and kill.
"Roar roar!"
With a sudden roar, a huge creature ran out of the cabin, and swept its sharp claws that were filled with Xuan Energy towards Filet.
It was the Beamon King!
When Filet turned around, he was shocked by the appearance of the huge beast in front of him. He hurriedly raised his longsword to protect himself. "Peng", a strong vibration came from the blade of the sword. The Beamon King's attack actually made Filet retreat several meters, and the devil aura around him gradually weakened. Although the Demon God was powerful, there were many experts on this flagship.
"What are you?!" Filet laughed sinisterly, and suddenly, a huge purple figure appeared behind him. It was the Demon Body, the Demon Body that belonged to the Demon God, and also the source of Filet's power. He had already planned to use the power of the Demon Body to kill the Beamon King.
At this moment, two "swoosh swoosh" sounds were heard, and two figures appeared on the left and right of the Beamon King. It was Ice Palm Wu Tong and Fire Fist Zheng Jian. One was ice and one was fire, and the raging flames reverberated and surged, giving off an imposing aura.
Xu Jiantao's eyes were deep, and he lightly waved his arm, "Sword Shield Formation, assist the battle!"
In the middle of the warship, a group of fully armored experts rapidly attacked. Their swords were biting cold, and there was a faint luster on their heavy armors. They were all engraved equipment, and this group of people wasn't easy to deal with.
Filet suddenly laughed loudly, and his eyes were filled with contempt, "Fighting with numbers? Interesting, Grandpa won't play with you guys anymore! "
He leaped up, and the shuttle flew through the curtain of snow. No one could stop this Lionheart Demon God.
… …
"Are you alright, Nangong Lie?"
Xu Jiantao helped Nangong Lie up from the mess.
Nangong Lie's face and body had many abrasions, and his palm was bleeding from the impact. He shook his head weakly, "I won't die. Commander, quickly command the battle."
"Okay!"
Xu Jiantao ordered the military doctor to take care of Nangong Lie, and he went to the deck. He looked around at the blazing flames, and the scene of countless warships on fire, and said, "Continue to retreat at full speed, and don't stop the bombardment! The flag bearer passed down the order, tell the soldiers on the burning warships not to resist stubbornly. Everyone, board the small boats and retreat, and leave the big ships to the Shang army. "
"Yes!"
