In the demon camp.
QianFeng put on a pure black armor and stepped into the tent with his cloak fluttering in the wind. He looked around with a gloomy look. There were over 20 people in the tent, all of whom were high-level demons. Pairs of purple eyes were looking at him. Only one of them was an armor demon, a high-rank armor demon. He was the legendary marshal of the second corps, Lei Chong!
Lei Chong smiled at QianFeng. The pair of curved fangs on his face looked particularly ferocious. He said in a very clumsy voice, "Marshal QianFeng, is it a victory?"
QianFeng smiled, "It went well. Thank you for your concern, marshal Lei Chong."
After saying this, he bowed to the young man on the seat and said, "Your Highness, Qin Yin refused our request. Human beings refused to hand over Lin Muyu."
"Then prepare for war!"
The Third Prince's handsome face was filled with cruelty. He toyed with the jade cup in his hand and said, "I can't wait to control the entire Middle Earth. This is the home of our God race. We can finally go home again!"
"Your Highness..." QianFeng wanted to say something but stopped on second thought.
The third prince raised his head and asked, "What's wrong, marshal QianFeng, what's the matter?"
QianFeng said, "Can we change the plan? I'm afraid that our plan of water war won't go well."
"Why?" Lei Chong hurriedly asked.
QianFeng smiled, "When I was walking in the human camp, I smelled a familiar smell, but I'm not sure..."
"What smell?" The third prince asked.
QianFeng frowned, "The smell of oil... a strong and strange smell. I heard that human beings have a kind of oil that will burn when it meets fire. It's called black beech oil. Therefore, I'm afraid that the empire will attack with fire. If they do that, we won't be able to carry out our 'cube ship' plan. Instead, we will suffer undeserved losses."
"No!"
The Third Prince said resolutely, "We can't change the plan of attack. We've been preparing for this meticulous plan for half a month. We can't wait any longer. Father doesn't want us to wait any longer. We have to carry out the original plan. Marshal QianFeng, don't worry. You've seen the battle strength of the armored demons. Even if the human beings attack with fire, we can still kill them!"
"Your Highness, please reconsider!" QianFeng frowned.
"Say no more."
The Third Prince stood up, flicked his sleeves, and said, "Proceed according to the original plan. Four hours later, we will start the war! The first warrior to reach the western shore would be rewarded with 100,000 Shendu coins and be conferred the title of general! Whoever captures Qin Yin will be conferred the title of Marshal! "
"Yes!"
The demon generals cupped their fists in greeting, their faces full of smiles. Only QianFeng frowned and stood there without saying a word.
…
At dusk, the setting sun shone like blood on the Daojiang River, illuminating a thousand miles of sparkling water.
At Maple Forest Ferry, battleships slowly entered the port. The Navy Captaincy Situ Lie ordered to seal off the port. After much consideration, Lin Muyu decided not to use the battleships to directly participate in the defense. After all, the number of battleships of the Empire Navy was limited. If they burned one, it would be one less.
Lin Muyu stood by the river in his Sanctum Grand Deacon battle robe. He looked at the eastern shore from afar. The night wind blew his cape, making it flutter. At the side, Qin Yan, Wei Chou, and Fengxi were quietly guarding.
"Is the Black Beech Oil ready?" Lin Muyu asked.
"It's ready." Qin Yan cupped his fists and smiled, "A total of 8000 barrels of Black Beech Oil. It's enough to burn dozens of miles of land on the river. Big Brother, don't worry. The demon race won't be able to attack."
"En."
Lin Muyu said calmly, "Pass down the order. After the demon race attacks, don't be anxious. Wait until their ships reach the middle of the river before pouring the 8000 barrels of Black Beech Oil down. Wait until their ships are 30 meters away from the shore before setting it on fire, catching them off guard. Also, wait for the battle by the shore. Shield formation in the first row, archery formation behind. Everyone change to white drill arrows and aim at the heads of the demon race. We must kill one with one arrow. We must not let them go ashore."
"Yes!" The three of them raised their heads.
Not long later, the night slowly fell and torches finally appeared on the opposite shore. Just like what Feng Jixing said in the letter, the demon race was preparing to attack!
"They are going into the water." Wei Chou squinted his eyes and said as he looked into the distance.
Lin Muyu's hand pressed on the hilt of the sword at her waist, her gaze cold as she looked at the opposite shore. Following the splashing sounds of water, huge wooden planks were thrown into the water. The opposite shore was densely packed, at least five miles of the demon race's simple and crude warships were everywhere. Luckily, the fourth army had enough people and the Empire's defense line was everywhere along the shore.
"They're here!" Wei Chou gripped the Demon Devouring Bow tightly, a trace of anticipation and excitement flashing through his eyes.
Qin Yan's eyes were filled with deep hatred. He was different from Wei Chou. Qin Yan had personally experienced the battle of Winter Frost City and knew the cruelty and strength of the demon race. To him, this battle was not to establish a career but to take revenge!
Actually, how could Lin Muyu's heart not be like this? How many soldiers of the Empire had been buried in foreign lands and this demon army in front of her had once again stepped into human territory. If they didn't fight, they would die.
The sound of water became especially dense. In the distance, a black mass of demon race 'warships' had already crossed the river.
Lin Muyu waited quietly until the other party's' warships' reached the center of the river. She suddenly raised her hand and said, "Wei Chou, send the signal!"
Wei Qiu raised his hand and a rocket soared into the sky. Immediately, the soldiers on the shore all opened the oil barrels that they had prepared, and the thick smell of black beech oil filled their noses. "Hualala Hualala", a large amount of black beech oil was quickly poured into the water and spread out. The entire west bank seemed to have turned black in an instant.
"Dang …"
Lin Muyu slowly pulled out her sword, her gaze cold as she looked at the opposite side and said, "Prepare the fire!"
The group of soldiers all raised their torches high up.
"Please don't retreat!" Lin Muyu prayed softly in the bottom of his heart.
They didn't disappoint him. The demon army continued to row forward with the bamboo and were getting closer and closer. Under the moonlight, Lin Muyu watched their movements from afar. She suddenly frowned and said, "Be careful of their spear throwing attack. Raise your heavy shields!"
Everyone raised their shields in front of them. As expected, black shadows whizzed over in the night wind. The tyrannical and powerful spears fell on the west shore. The armor demons had such strong arm strength to be able to throw such powerful spears from over a hundred meters away. In the next moment, the shield soldiers on the west shore howled miserably. Many people were still pierced through by the spears and died in battle.
Looking at the collapsed shield formation, Lin Muyu couldn't help but frown and loudly said, "Brothers, steady!"
Under his loud shout, the soldiers of the Longdan Army Camp all replaced their fallen comrades and raised the shield formation again.
The armor demons were getting closer and closer.
Qin Yan said, "Big brother, the armor demons can fly. Although it's not far, let's start a fire. Otherwise, it'll be troublesome if they fly to the shore."
"Yes, fire!"
Lin Muyu took the lead and threw thousands of torches into the river. "Splash!" Flames shot up into the sky, and the light blue flames spread rapidly on the surface of the water. The entire Rice River seemed to have turned into a sea of fire, and how could the speedily moving ships stop? In an instant, all the ships at the front were set ablaze, and under the night breeze, the flames spread to the ships at the back.
"Ah ah ah ah … …"
Countless armor demons were dancing in the fire. Although the armor demons had thick skin and rough flesh, once the wings behind them were burned, they were really finished. In an instant, many armor demons all jumped off the ship. However, they didn't know how to swim. They just flopped a few times and sank one after another. They were buried in Rice River!
"Hahaha!"
The empire's soldiers on the west shore roared with laughter. Their faces were filled with endless excitement and joy.
Lin Muyu squinted her eyes and looked at the square ships that were still moving in the fire. She loudly said, "Don't underestimate the enemy. Prepare for close combat! They're coming. Everyone be careful! "
Sure enough, although it was on fire, the momentum of the square ships didn't stop. They quickly reached the shore. Armor demons covered in flames pounced on them. Although most of them fell to the ground and cried miserably halfway.
"Shoot them to death with arrows!" Qin Yan loudly said.
Thousands of arrows were fired on the shore. Perhaps the fire made the armor demons lose the protection of their hard armor. Very soon, they were shot into hedgehogs. They fell to the ground while screaming miserably. Their screams were indescribably mournful and desolate.
"Roar … …"
Behind them, there were still a large number of armor demons coming ashore.
Lin Muyu held her longsword and rushed forward, guarding the perimeter of the fire formation. With a wave of her longsword, sword qi swept out in an arc, rapidly chopping three Armor Demons into pieces. Qin Yan also held the Fire Serpent Spear and stood at the forefront, stabbing a few Armor Demons to death with a thrust and retraction of the spear. At the same time, the Dragon Scale Armor on his body shone brightly, bouncing off the javelins of the Armor Demons.
"Kill!"
The morale of the Longdan Army Camp was greatly boosted. Everyone rushed forward with their sabers and tore the armor demons into pieces. However, some armor demons were very tenacious. They roared and waved their battle axes in the crowd. It was the first time for the soldiers of the Longdan Army Camp to feel the terror of the armor demons. When a group of people besieged and killed an armor demon, two or three people would be killed.
The entire coast of Daojiang River had almost become a sea of fire. The armor demon corps launched attacks one after another. However, batches of them were shot and chopped on the shore. The tactic of the Longdan Army Camp was very simple. They let those unkillable armor demons enter the depth of the camp. A group of shield-bearers would surround them and kill the armor demons with the help of the spearmen. In this way, the casualties could be minimized to the greatest extent.
… …
"Swish!"
The sword light flashed past, and another Armor Demon's head was chopped off. Lin Muyu rushed back and forth on the shore, as if she was possessed. Suddenly, she raised her fist and directly struck out with Chaos of the Common Life, blasting five Armor Demons that were on fire on the shore into a pile of minced meat!
"Watch out for the sky!"
Qin Yan suddenly looked up. As expected, many winged people appeared in the sky with longbows in their hands. They looked ferocious under the illumination of the fire. They shot arrows from the sky and killed many soldiers of the Dragon Empire.
"You're courting death!"
Wei Chou turned around and shot an arrow into the sky, directly piercing through the heart of a Winged Being. He suddenly turned his body, the martial spirit's radiance flourished, after flicking away the Winged Being's arrows, he shot another arrow, killing another Winged Being.
More and more archers aimed at the sky. If the winged people wanted to kill, they had to get close to the ground. However, their numbers could not be compared with the army of the Dragon Empire. Their corpses kept falling from the sky like rain.
