Yang Rui did not order his Fifth Grade Scaled Aquatic Soldiers to take action. On the one hand, it was because the rebel NPCs were quite powerful. On the other hand, Yang Rui had been paying attention to the overall situation.
Even though Yang Rui's forces did not have much of an advantage in the battle, it did not affect the speed at which the ships, battleships, Bi 'an, and other large ships were moving forward!
After all, the size of the ships was obvious. The attacks of the smaller ships of the rebel NPCs might be powerful, but they could only disrupt the advance of Yang Rui's forces. They could not actually stop the advance of Yang Rui's forces, nor did they cause any significant damage to the ships.
Yang Rui's goal was simple – reach the island above the water. There was no need to fight the rebel NPCs above the water and cause unnecessary casualties.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Pupupu! Pupupu!
Boom! Boom!
“...

After an hour or so of the ships advanced, they were already close to the small island in the depths of the water. During this process, Yang Rui's troops and the rebel army NPCs' long-range attacks intertwined, never once stopping.
The ships, battleships, and Bi 'an advanced through the rain of arrows. The parapets, battleships, and hulls of the ships were all covered in arrows. Even the hull of the ships was covered in arrows, making them look like they were riddled with wounds.
However, judging from the durability of the ships, the extent of the damage was very limited. The durability of the ships barely touched, and the damage to the battleships was also very limited. Generally, the damage was only about 1%.
Only the smaller parts of the ship experienced a greater decrease in durability, but the highest decrease did not exceed 5%. Moreover, all of them were superficial wounds. There was no substantial damage to the basic structure of the ships.
With the protection of the Yellow Turban Soldiers' shields, Yang Rui's forces on the ships also did not suffer many casualties.
All in all, this was due to the role played by the turreted ships. The five largest turreted ships were scattered around the periphery of the fleet by Yang Rui, which played a significant role in the overall defense of the fleet.
Inside the turreted ships were the seven largest warships, while the ten smallest Bi 'an warships were protected at the core of the fleet.
Even though the ships were at a disadvantage in terms of damage output, they were able to maximize the defensive characteristics of the ships and minimize losses.
At the same time, the ships at the outermost edge of the fleet were not to be trifled with. Every ship was equipped with eight large cannons. It was very likely that one of the smaller ships of the rebel NPCs would be hit.
Although the probability of this happening wasn't high, if one or two out of dozens of cannons hit, the ships that were hit would be shattered on the spot. The deterrence was enough, and this also reduced the pressure on Yang Rui's fleet by quite a bit.
... . whoosh! ...
. Boom! ....

"Kill!"
“...

The shadow of the island gradually enlarged in the vision of Yang Rui's troops. The situation on the island also gradually became clearer. Finally, what appeared in front of Yang Rui's eyes was a water stronghold made up of docks. After Yang Rui's ships forced their way into the water stronghold, the soldiers of the Formation Breaker and the scaled soldiers finally began to show their might.
The layout of the rebel NPCs' water stronghold was also very exquisite. It was a tight defensive battle formation. There were arrow towers on the shore of the water stronghold. The ships near the water were blocked by the anchors. There were even narrow waterways above the water surface.
But all of this was limited in front of Yang Rui's 20 ships. When they got close, the 40 large cannons on the five ships had already wreaked havoc on the water stronghold. When the ships got close, they directly charged into the body of the water stronghold, almost directly smashing the water stronghold into pieces.
In the end, Yang Rui's ship had almost directly reached the arrow tower on the shore before it finally came to a stop. At the same time, before the ship had come to a complete stop, the soldiers of the [Capture Barracks] as well as the scaled armoured water soldiers had already charged out. Their power was completely unleashed, and very quickly, the water stronghold that was on the verge of collapse was under their control.
Compared to the turreted ships, warships, Bi 'an and other surface fighting forces that had not really formed a fighting force, the strength of Yang Rui's soldiers in a direct confrontation was obvious. Throughout the entire journey on the water, Yang Rui's fleet had always been in a defensive state. But when they finally reached the shore, they were easily destroyed. There was no suspense.
The dust of the battle on the shore quickly settled. However, the small and medium-sized ships that were previously entangled with Yang Rui's troops on the water surface had already scattered when they saw that the situation was not good. The forces on the island in front of them should soon know what happened at the water stronghold.
However, Yang Rui was not worried about any problems at all. When they reached the island and saw the ground, they were already in Yang Rui's home ground. No matter what the situation on the island in front of them was, Yang Rui, who had experienced the situation on Death Island, was very familiar with the situation in front of him.
Before the rebel NPCs appeared, Yang Rui quickly put away all the people and resources, including the soldiers and the battlefield, and entered Sky City. Just like when he was on Pleasure Island, he used the Four Symbols Maze to camouflage Sky City into a cloud.
Once Sky City was used in a hostile area, it could no longer be shrunk to a small enough size to be stored in a backpack. However, since he tried to use the Four Symbols Maze on Death Island, Sky City had an additional means of hiding. Even in a hostile area, it would not be easy to be discovered.
Sure enough, not long after Yang Rui put away the ships and troops, a large number of rebel NPCs on the island appeared near the water stronghold. However, there was no sign of Yang Rui, his troops, or the ships in front of them.
Similarly, they did not notice Sky City at all, which was now high in the clouds. After searching for a while, these rebel NPCs split off a group of people to go to the water surface again to search, while the rest of them wandered around for a while before returning to where they came from.
In their minds, Yang Rui's troops had suddenly disappeared on the spot, and the only direction they could go was the water surface. It was very difficult for them to think otherwise. They also did not think that Yang Rui and the others, who had disappeared, would be observing them from high in the sky at this time.
Based on the number of Rebel Camp NPCs on the island, Yang Rui had a rough idea of the number of Rebel Camp NPCs on Sky City. The fact that more than 100,000 Rebel Camp NPCs had been dispatched to Sky City proved that the number of Rebel Camp NPCs on this island was definitely not small.
If Yang Rui suddenly attacked, even if the rebel NPCs mobilized more than 100,000 troops, Yang Rui should be able to defeat them easily. However, Yang Rui did not do that. The appearance of the rebel NPCs just happened to be Yang Rui's guide.
Yang Rui tailed this group of soldiers from high up in the sky all the way …
