Boom, boom, boom! More than a dozen undead warships fired their cannons at the Ashes Legion, who were hiding in the forest. The cannonballs fell into the rainforest, and the Ashes Legion was caught off guard. Dozens of soldiers were killed on the spot, and a part of the forest was destroyed.
"D * mn, we've been discovered!" Fernando Pilazzo pushed aside the branches above his head and said angrily.
Luther Haken raised his head absentmindedly and pointed at the forest. "Destroy these Humans!"
Dozens of battleships opened their hatches and decks. Thousands of undead pirates, strangely shaped bloated zombies, giant walking corpses formed from resurrected drowned ogres, gigantic Festering Scorpions, and Festering Leviathans quickly disembarked. Ferocious bats carried the undead pirates as they attacked from the sky.
"Our broken bodies are bound, and our souls are doomed!"
"We're only waiting for our master to embark on the journey."
Further away, a few huge Walking Skeletons were coming ashore. They were made of sunken ships, wood, iron, and human flesh. They were propelled to the shore by a deadly Specter energy vortex. Each of them was more than 20 meters tall, and their arms were made of revolving cannons. They fired at the Humans.
The Humans saw their enemies with their own eyes. Many of the new soldiers felt their scalps go numb. The Specter Pirates, the resurrected Corpses, the legendary Giant Beasts, the resurrected Leviathans, and the huge Walking Skeletons instilled fear in the hearts of the soldiers. Especially the soldiers of the Empire who had just surrendered. They were mostly militia and provincial soldiers. At most, they had fought against Green Dwarfs and Orcs. They had never seen such terrifying enemies! The soldiers of the Empire who had just surrendered were so frightened that they threw down their weapons and fled for their lives.
Under certain circumstances, perhaps the soldiers of the Ashes Legion would have to undergo a SANCHECK.
However, the Ashes Legion was a strong army that was personally raised by Forgan. Many of the veterans had fought against the Barbarians, the Lizardmen, the Chaos army, and the Skaven Ratmen with their Legion Commander. Many of the veterans who had experienced the Battle of Kroc Itaza couldn't adapt to such a "small situation". The veterans stood firm and prepared to face the enemy. Under their leadership and shouts, the wavering army gradually stabilized.
At this moment, the Specter Pirates had already landed on the shore.
"Luck favors the shameless!" Luther Haken pulled out his scimitar and raised his gun. He began to charge into the forest. Behind him was an endless tide of undead pirates. "We have new companions!"
Fu Gen did not want to be outdone. He carried the golden power sword Glory in one hand and strode out of the forest. He was like a tourist on a pirate vacation. The king's son geno prototype put away the sword and gently raised the tip of the sword at Luther Haken. "Forward, soldiers!"
"For Fu Gen, for the Ash Corps!"
"Fire!!!" The artillery regiment immediately opened fire. Dozens of Empire heavy cannons, mortar cannons, and dwarven cannons fired in unison. The shells from both sides flew back and forth in the air before landing in the enemy's formation, causing the beach to tremble and sand to fly everywhere.
"Hehehehe … Hahahaha …" Luther Haken studied it for a long time, but he still couldn't figure out how the Lizardmen's treasure resonated with the Ancient Saint Slate. He couldn't figure out how it could help him. He laughed loudly and put it away. "Servants, let the steel and gunpowder help us return to the feeling of being alive! Forward! "
"Forward!" Thousands of Specter Pirates charged directly into the Ash Corps' army.
The Walking Dead was leading the charge. It was a twisted creation made of the rotting body of an Ogre, a sea monster, and the remains of a ship. Luther Haken had used magic to fuse them together and turned them into a twisted abomination!
Dozens of giant walking corpses charged toward the Ash Corps' army formation. Fu Gen immediately ordered, "Musketeers, crossbowmen, archers, shoot those monsters together!"
"Yes!" The musketeers lined up in formation, the crossbowmen adjusted their positions, and the archers aimed their big bows at the sky. A dense barrage of bullets and arrows greeted the giant walking corpses. The giant walking corpses that lacked armor had dozens of wounds on their bodies, but these creatures did not feel pain. They endured the barrage of bullets and arrows and charged directly toward the Ash Corps' first formation!
"Halberd Formation!" Fu Gen was not in a hurry. His voice echoed throughout the battlefield. The musketeers were like precise machines. After the last round of firing, they calmly retreated into the formation. The next second, the halberds and spearmen advanced forward, forming a tight spear formation. Dozens of giant walking corpses were pierced by spears and halberds, their movements hindered.
"Attack the heads!" The next order was given. The musketeers and crossbowmen immediately aimed at the heads of the giant walking corpses at close range. A few giant walking corpses fell on the spot with their heads blown off.
"Great Swordsman, circle behind. Archers, cover. Focus the mortar on the Specter Pirates. Focus the heavy cannons on the giant walking corpses!" Fu Gen calmly ordered. "The Specter Pirates' muskets have a short range and are very slow. Try to pull away as much as possible!"
"Yes!" The soldiers of the Ashes Corps accepted the commander's orders in an orderly manner. The movements of the entire battlefield were as smooth as flowing water. The human army orderly resisted the onslaught of the Specter Pirates. The giant walking corpses were trapped by the spears and halberds. Although they constantly waved their arms or bodies to send the soldiers flying or smash them, more soldiers were always able to immediately fill the gap. The giant walking corpses that Luther Haken had placed high hopes on failed to break the formation of the Ashes Corps. On the contrary, they were trapped.
The archers and crossbowmen desperately shot arrows at the Specter Pirates. The Specter Pirates, who were not far away, constantly tried to get closer, but they were constantly shot and fell. After paying hundreds of casualties, they still could not get close to the enemy. They left behind a large pile of corpses.
The Legion of Ashes had successfully lured the enemy's Leviathan of the Festered to charge recklessly. Soon, they were separated from the undead pirates. While the undead were still moving forward slowly, the Leviathan of the Festered had already been bombarded by the heavy cannons and dwarven cannons. The solid shells of these giant beasts were blasted open by the cannons, and green blood flowed out.
But there were still Corrupted Leviathans that approached the Ashes Corps. They stretched out their giant pincers and swept a few halberds into the air. Amidst the screams, the giant beasts directly clamped a soldier with their pincers and swallowed him into their mouths. The giant pincers slammed on the ground, and a whole row of halberds were directly scattered and defeated!
The first line of defense collapsed.
At the same time, the Specter Pirates were almost endless. They gradually approached the army formation.
"Let the Wing Cavalry move out." Fu Gen's orders came one after another. Felix led the Wing Cavalry to charge. They directly attacked the Specter Pirates that used two-handed swords from the flank. The beautiful wings behind the Wing Cavalry fluttered in the wind, and they raised their spears. "Sukabulle! Wing Cavalry, forward! "
The Wing Cavalry's charge swept away team after team of Specter Pirates, trying to buy time for the army to regroup.
The battle quickly escalated. The 30,000 troops of the Ashes Corps extended the front line from the east to the west. Jinn led the Arabian Army to join the battle. He loudly chanted magic that tore the sky apart. The Supreme Water Elemental Lord appeared from the sea at his call. The giant, dozens of meters tall, raised its giant fist and smashed two of the Specter Cannons with one punch.
"Witness the power of pure water!"
"Rolling Torrent!" The Supreme Water Elemental Lord waved his hand and summoned dozens of sea elementals. He roared, "The Specters are not allowed to pollute the sea!"
On the terrible battlefield, there were figures of the human army and the Specter Army fighting everywhere.
"This is simply art." Holding a two-handed broadsword, Julius, who was fighting on foot, stood proudly in the army and beheaded any Specter Pirates that dared to challenge him. But his efforts could only temporarily slow down the enemy's attack. The large number of Specter Pirates seemed to be endless.
"Damn it, damn it. Only I, only I, can become the only Pirate King on the sea!" Luther Haken did not care at all. He immediately ordered, "Forward, all the troops. That, they're out! Haha!"
As more Specter Warships approached the shore, a new type of enemy appeared in front of the Ashes Corps. These Specter Pirates held small cannons in both hands. Behind each Specter Pirate holding a small cannon was an Specter Pirate holding a box of ammunition. They lined up in a row and fired towards the distance. A rain of cannonballs floated in the air, blowing up the Ashes Corps soldiers who were resisting. Blood splashed in the sky, and broken limbs were everywhere.
Then there were hundreds of Specter Cannons. They slowly set up on the shore and fired at the enemy. The Winged Cavalry who were fighting back and forth became their target. Under the crossfire, more than 50 Winged Cavalry and hundreds of Ashes Corps soldiers were blown to pieces in the blink of an eye.
At the same time, the slow-moving Specter Colossuses had entered the battlefield. These towering monsters on the battlefield raised their weapons towards the human soldiers. Some Specter Colossuses spewed out torrents of flames that were more than 10 meters long from their arms, burning the human soldiers into a ball of struggling flames. Some Specter Colossuses had three-barreled cannons on their arms that kept turning, firing cannonballs that blew the human soldiers who tried to approach them into the sky.
In the face of such powerful firepower, the Ashes Corps fell into a bitter battle. The artillery regiment struggled to engage in a fierce artillery battle with the Specter Pirates, but the difference in firepower was still very obvious. The human army was continuously suppressed by the Specter Pirates until they could not raise their heads.
"Hehe, everyone who hinders me must die!" Luther Haken laughed maniacally. "Today is another good day to add to the family! Hehehe, I am destined to be the only one who can become the Pirate King. "
"Commander! Our firepower is far inferior to the enemy's. Two of the five artillery positions have already been destroyed. "Fernando Pilazzo anxiously shouted." If this continues, we won't be able to hold on! "
"Steady!" Fulgen watched the battlefield attentively. The first line of defense had completely collapsed, and the second line was also struggling to hold on under the siege of the Specter Cannons. Fulgen judged whether to throw in his own personal guards, but he quickly rejected this idea. Luther Haken also did not send out all his elites. He also had a fully armed personal guard around him, and the Deep Sea Guards with halberds and two-handed axes also did not join the battlefield.
At this time, whoever threw in all their trump cards first would lose the ability to make the final adjustments!
"Let the soldiers hold on." Fulgen constantly adjusted the battlefield. "Give up on the Vampires' firecrackers. Let the remaining cannons prioritize attacking the enemy's dense areas and the enemy's giant beasts. Let Felix and his winged cavalry return. Let the two regiments of swordsmen go up. Let the musketeers, crossbowmen, and archers retreat. Do not approach or attack those strange giant beasts!"
"Yes!" Pilazzo expressed his understanding.
The bitter battle on the beach was still ongoing.
"Fire the signal flare!" Fulgen then gave a second order, and a bright signal flare was fired into the sky.
"What is that?" Luther Haken also noticed the signal flare flying into the sky.
The Vampire Pirate King's chaotic thoughts made it impossible for him to calm down and think about the problem. He kept talking to himself. "Oh, Luther, you can do it. You can solve it. You are the only one. You are the best. You are the master of the entire sea."
Before he finished speaking, Luther Haken felt something different. Countless birds were startled in the tropical rainforest. In the depths of the rainforest, in the sky, something, many things, were flapping their wings and rapidly approaching!
Hundreds of shadows appeared in the tropical forest's sky, even covering the light of the sun.
"That is?"
