The unknown was always the scariest.
After experiencing the baptism of gunfire, even though the Nado warriors on the harbor were all injured, when they saw that the enemy's attack was not fatal, they mustered up their courage to fight and clenched the weapons in their hands as they shouted in unison.
The warriors' blood was already boiling. This was a good opportunity to turn the tide, but unfortunately, the supreme commander on the battlefield was new to the war. He had powerful strength, but when he smelled the smoke of iron and fire, his mind went blank at once.
Seeing Tumo's blank expression, a ferocious-looking human-headed lion warrior beside him, who had four feathers on his head, revealed a trace of contempt in his eyes. He said in a low voice, "Lord Tumo, you'd better hurry up and report to His Majesty that a strong enemy is attacking." Then, he ran out of the crowd.
"Warriors who charge at the Rovanians!
The cannons of those iron ships can only hit far away! Rush into the sea and climb onto the enemy's warships! Drink their blood! The brave will obtain the supreme power bestowed by the gods while the cowards who avoid the battle will only be humiliated and beheaded.
Nado people, charge! Charge! " The lion warrior landed on all four of his limbs and charged towards the sea at an extremely fast speed as he roared.
The bright feathers on the head of the warrior who took the lead shone brilliantly under the rising sun.
"It's the Black Lion's Claw, Lord Skuj! Charge! For the honor of Nado …" A famous general on the battlefield naturally had hundreds of responses when the commander could not give an order. Following the feathers that swayed in the wind, countless Nado warriors who had transformed into monsters charged towards the sea.
"Boom …" In the face of the brave charge of the Rovanians, the Wizard Li fleet responded with an even more violent bombardment. At the same time, the steel doors on the deck of the warship opened one by one. Hundreds of thousands of warriors who were armed to the teeth riding on their fierce 'war partners' rushed to the ship's side.
When the Nado warriors, who were running wildly, saw that the enemies on the steel warships were not despicable mainlanders but their own compatriots, most of them could not help but slow down. At that instant when they were hesitating, the tens of thousands of chief warriors mixed in the Wizard Li expeditionary army keenly seized the opportunity and cast their sorcery one after another.
Blood-red tree vines slowly formed in the air and stood on the beach, swaying the tough branches that were covered in thorns and whipping every Nado warrior that passed by, tearing their 'shells' and injecting poison into their bodies.
The seawater quietly rose into steam and spread to the shore. It enveloped the charging warriors and froze them swiftly, turning them into ferocious ice sculptures.
Scorching flames broke through all restraints and erupted from the ground, turning into magma that engulfed those who could not dodge in time. The screams of being burned resonated through the clouds … The sorcery of a Wizard Li chief warrior might not be eye-catching in a war, but when tens of thousands of spellcasters attacked at the same time, even the gods would not dare to underestimate the power.
"It's true that quantity becomes quality." Standing on the towering watchtower of a steam-powered warship on the sea one kilometer away from the Nado port, Zhang Lisheng looked at the tragic battle in the distance and sighed. "Even though I've underestimated the support of the foreign tribe's' faith 'to the Nado warriors' will, in the face of tens of thousands of spellcasters, they can't escape death no matter how brave they are."
"Those who offend your majesty can only be destroyed," A middle-aged native warrior wearing a golden hoop on his head with a sturdy body and a majestic temperament standing beside the Wizard Li god said respectfully, "However, the power of the weapon called 'shell' used by these Nutao Sea warriors must not be underestimated.
If it's a hand-to-hand battle of conquest, at least five Wizard Li warriors would be needed to defeat one of them. "
"That's true," The young man nodded with a smile. "However, the more powerful the 'shell' is, the stronger the Wizard Li's war strength will be in the future.
Uluban, pass down my order. Let the vanguard fleet crush the Nado tribe as fast as possible and erect the totem pole by noon at the latest. "
"Yes, Great God!" The Wizard Li legion's commander, who commanded 200,000 troops, kneeled on the ground and answered. Turning around, he jumped down from the watchtower. At this time, with the cooperation of artillery and sorcery, the Rovanians in the port had already been cleaned up, leaving only several dozens of Nado warriors equipped with winged 'shells' still struggling.
In fact, the defeat had already destroyed the courage of these survivors. It was just that the fearless pursuit of the Wizard Li dragon hawk warriors, who had already ascended into the air, made them know that escaping was already an extravagant hope. For this reason, they stayed on the battlefield with the idea of perishing together, wanting to kill one or two high-ranking chief warriors of the enemy as much as possible.
After receiving the order to attack quickly issued by the god, the vanguard fleet quickly wiped out these flying 'flies.' After that, the battleships docked one by one and crushed the strange sealed ships of the Nado tribe into the bottom of the sea, sending teams of Wizard Li warriors to the harbor continuously.
The army lined up in battle formation and rushed to the city in the distance.
From launching the first artillery attack to occupying the port, the Wizard Li expeditionary force only took less than ten minutes. When the Nado army, who had received the alarm, was still gathering in formation, they had already rushed into the city.
Without bothering to look at the black low-rise houses that were arranged in a straight line all the way to the end of the world, and the panic-stricken Roshi tribesmen on the spacious streets, as well as their strange 'partners,' the Wizard Li warriors began to rampantly hunt down all the humanoid creatures that they saw. A tragic street battle began just like that.
Unlike the powerful Hellfire tribes in other regions, who would always establish separate settlements and occupy more hunting land, the slave owner tribes of the Nutao Sea's three islands would live in the ancient city ruins. Only by occupying more city ruins and ruling more slave tribes could the tribe become stronger. The size of the ancient city ruins that the tribe lived in was also the key to measuring the tribe's strength.
The Nado tribe was originally a very weak indigenous tribe on the west of the Rovan Island. It barely occupied an ancient city with an area of no more than two to three square kilometers with its back facing the canyon and controlled several slave tribes within a radius of 30 to 40 kilometers.
A thousand years ago, a natural disaster that was mixed with volcanic eruptions, torrential rains, and tsunamis almost wiped out the Nado tribesmen. The hunting ground that they ruled turned into a swamp, and the city's' life 'also dropped to a dangerous level because of resisting the natural disaster. The natives who were lucky enough to escape were faced with a catastrophe, so they had to find a way to survive.
Even though they had a 'shell,' with their remaining strength, they would still be courting death if they were discovered by other slave owner tribes. With no other choice, the Nado warriors could only give up exploring the inland areas that were less affected and take the risk to seek hope in the direction where the disaster was more severe.
The goal of these smart ancient natives was the distant sea. There was endless food there that was enough to rejuvenate their 'city.'
In the end, the harvest brought about by this desperate exploration far exceeded the imagination of the Nado people. Not only did they rely on the power of their 'bodies' to save their 'city' through arduous fishing and hunting, but they also discovered an ancient city relic that had been buried deep underground after being hit by a huge wave and had finally seen the light of day again.
That 'ruin' was dozens of times larger than the 'city' that the Nado tribesmen originally lived in. More importantly, there was still a trace of vitality left. From then on, Nado began to embark on a glorious path, but unfortunately, this glory was about to be annihilated now …
Even though the power of the 'shell' was strong, the number of invading enemies and the unpredictable sorcery power of the enemy leader made the resistance of the Nado warriors futile.
Waving his sharp claws and howling angrily, he used the wind pressure to tear the enemies into pieces one after another. Leading thousands of strong warriors to guard a towering stone pillar in the middle of a square with a ground of more than 100,000 square meters in the center of the city that was as soft as fresh meat, he shook off the blood on his body and looked at the enemies swarming towards him with a desperate expression.
Taking advantage of the interval when the enemy was gathering their strength, he said in a hoarse voice with a ferocious expression, "Tumo, go to the temple and bring the tribal book of history to the Southern Fire Mountain Range to look for Adalu. Tell him to withdraw his army and return to the ancestral city immediately.
Remember to tell Adalu not to take revenge. The enemy's strength is not something that Nado can resist.
If these foreign tribesmen continue to expand, then migrate to the depths of the Rovan Island to look for new 'ruins'. God will protect the Nado tribesmen to live. "
"These lowly Hellfire tribesmen riding on spiders are not a match for the Nado warriors at all! I'm willing to shed my last drop of blood for the tribe with you!
I'm the son of the Black Lion King, not a coward! " Retreating back to the city, the young warrior who had been feeling so ashamed of his panic at the harbor that he wanted to die was no longer willing to escape alone. For the first time, he roared loudly in front of his majestic father.
"Is the most terrifying animal on the island a black lion or a colony of cannibal ants?" When the Nado King saw that the enemy had gathered a sufficient number and had lined up in a battle formation to charge, he slapped his son to the ground. "Courage without wisdom is just a reckless fool.
Aliya, Chinoru, bring Tumo out of the city from the temple. "
"Yes, my King!" The two giant lion-bodied beasts who had been guarding behind the Black Lion King during the battle kneeled on one knee and answered briefly. Without saying a word, they grabbed Tumo's arms and dragged the young warrior.
"Father, Nado will not perish as long as you're alive. Just like what you said, 'courage without wisdom is just a reckless fool'! The tribe needs you! You should leave! Let me stay! Let me stay here!" Tumo, who was forced to walk towards the Nado's totem pole involuntarily, shouted at the top of his lungs.
This shout echoed in the unusually quiet square, causing many Nado warriors to unwittingly focus their attention on their tall king.
"Tumo, my dear son, as a descendant of the Black Lion King, you must always remember one thing." The king of the Nado tribe who was always solemn turned his head to give his youngest son the first and last smile. "The king of the Rovan people can be stupid, but you must never retreat …"
