Chapter 748: Dragonwhale’s Support, Spell Bombardment (2)
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation | Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
On the colossal turtle shell, towering towers and countless spell towers continuously emitted dazzling spell rays into the sky, giving them a sense of imminent threat.
“What… is this?” Standing on the city wall, the Deep Sea Dragon Whale Caroline looked at the spectacular scene in the distance, her expression filled with awe.
“That’s the Giant Turtle! The tower on its back is a large-scale magic artillery platform, capable of reaching up to a hundred miles away, according to what I’ve heard!”
“A hundred miles?” Caroline widened her eyes incredulously. “So, does that mean the enemy gets bombarded before they even see us?”
Anina, with a proud expression, hands on hips, grinned. “Of course! This is a gift specifically prepared for those demons, to blow them to pieces!”
Listening to Anina and Caroline’s conversation, Ji Chen smiled and watched as the tower on the turtle’s back continuously charged and fired spells, showing some surprise in his eyes.
This power exceeded his expectations.
He hadn’t expected Lord of the Waves’ tower and spell platform to have such formidable power after completion. Not only did it have an extremely frightening range of up to fifty kilometers, but the magical attacks it launched were also quite formidable. Each strike was equivalent to the full force of a rare-tier hero, and the charged attacks were even comparable to legacy-tier!
The spell towers surrounding the building had also been enhanced, each strike ranging from elite to excellent.
What made it even scarier was that the Giant Turtle could both move swiftly and hold its own in battle, showing no fear of surprise attacks from the enemy.
Consequently, the demons observed a highly peculiar sight. The barrage of spells, initially perceived as originating from afar, continuously shifted its position—now in the north, then the northeast, and later on, moving to the northwest.
It wasn’t until dawn the next day that the relentless spell bombardment gradually ceased.
Balzarna finally couldn’t sit still and walked out of the tent.
The previously well-structured demon army descended into chaos, as countless massive semi-beast demons, resembling floating islands, were bombarded and sent crashing into the water, along with the demon structures and provisions atop them.
Countless demons were killed in the blasts, their broken bodies floating all over the sea, turning it into a black ocean.
“…Have we identified who’s behind the attack?”
Hearing Balzarna’s sinister words, many demon lords and commanders dared not speak. Harald, who had just been appointed as the commanding officer for the attack yesterday, spoke in a hoarse voice, “This is probably initiated by the Crown of the Ocean. Judging from the firepower, it should be some kind of intensive spell tower cluster.
I’ve never seen spell towers change positions every few hours.”
“I… have no idea either.” Harald was sweating profusely. Having lived for so long, he had never seen such terrifying spell bombardments. Not only were they invisible from afar, but they also changed positions constantly.
Could it be that the towers grew legs?
Just as the demons were busy cleaning up the aftermath, beams of light once again shot from the sky, catching them off guard once more.
One of the spells traced a strange curve in the sky, then charged straight towards the center of the demon army where the giant semi-beast demons were. Many demon lords’ faces changed abruptly.
But the next moment, the spell was enveloped by a rising black mist, quickly dissipating like ice and snow.
Balzarna slowly lowered his withered right hand, his face expressionless. But this made them even more fearful, as this was a sign of Balzarna’s extreme anger.
The attack didn’t cause much damage, but it was extremely insulting!
“Harald, lead the Third Legion to attack and find that damn spell tower for me!”
Harald’s spirits lifted, immediately responding, “Yes!”
A flank consisting of 250,000 elite demon troops quickly broke away from the formation and charged towards the northwest, where the spell was coming from.
“My lord, it’s amazing! Just like you said, the demons are really so furious that they’ve sent a legion to chase after us!”
After listening to the reconnaissance team’s report, Elisya widened her eyes in admiration.
Ji Chen grinned. He hadn’t anticipated Balzarna to be so easily unsettled, rushing over in such a hurry.
“How many demons are in this legion?”
“Probably around 230,000 to 250,000!”
“Good, let’s take advantage of the demons’ irrationality and quickly deal with them!” Ji Chen waved his hand. “Everyone, get ready and implement the plan as scheduled!”
“Yes!”
Behind him, the Crown of the Ocean, Dragon Island, Dragon Whale, and other heroes echoed in response.
Further behind, tens of thousands of high-level troops stood ready.
Harald led the Third Legion in a swift march, tracking the direction from which the magical light emanated, filled with anger.
In such a limited space, facing such an insignificant lord of glory, the demons had faced multiple losses, fueling his anger.
And this time, it was even more outrageous. They deceitfully launched another assault just when the demons believed it was all over and were tidying up. Don’t their spell towers require cooldowns?
This was more cunning than the demons themselves!
If the demons were to catch him, wouldn’t they skin them alive?
Humans are so cunning!
With a heart full of anger, the Third Legion gradually approached their destination.
It was a small island with a protrusion in the middle, surrounded by steep slopes. On the island stood a very conspicuous giant tower, surrounded by evenly distributed rows of spell towers connected to the giant tower, forming a large spell tower stronghold.
Every time they charged, dozens of beams of light flew towards the direction where the main forces were.
How were these spell towers on an island able to change direction?!
Harald’s mind flashed with this doubt, but he quickly pushed it aside.
Since he had already seen the mastermind, he didn’t want any unforeseen complications. Destroying all these spell towers would complete the mission.
Just as he was about to order the attack.
Harald’s eyes suddenly froze, a look of incredulity and fear appearing in his pupils.
That island… was rising!!!
The once calm island suddenly lifted as a whole, with large amounts of seawater falling from the edges, forming long strips of waterfalls, casting a desperate shadow.
The heavy-shelled race, with a pair of eyes full of mockery, was looking at him, as if saying, “You’ve been fooled.”
Harald shuddered, shouting hoarsely, “Retreat, all of you…”
“Boom!”
The spell towers on the giant turtle’s back suddenly switched targets, colorful beams of light shooting towards them, accompanied by intense explosions and towering columns of water.
What made him even more desperate was that at the same time, large numbers of enemy figures appeared on both sides and behind them, in tight formations, with a murderous momentum, as if they had been prepared long ago.
“Damn it! We fell for the trap!”
Harald’s eyes bulged with rage. Instinctively, he wanted to escape, but he was surrounded on all sides. In front of him was this mountain-like, massive turtle. Where else could he run?!
A figure appeared on the giant turtle. He raised his head to look, seeing an indifferent human face.
So, this was the glory lord!?
Harald was furious, but suddenly a thought flashed through his mind. If he could kill this glory lord, then the enemy’s encirclement would collapse on its own, and he would gain immense credit!
Feeling determined, Harald drew out a skull-headed staff and waved it, unleashing a vast swath of black mist. The mist seeped into his body without missing a spot, instantly transforming him from a skeletal frame into a giant demon standing four to five meters tall.
With a sudden kick, he sent the giant half-beast demon beneath his feet crashing into the sea, his entire body hurtling towards Ji Chen.
Harald’s eyes were bloodshot, veins bulging on his forehead, filled with excitement as if he could fly up and slay the enemy in the next second.
However, Ji Chen looked at him, a hint of disappointment flashing in her eyes.
This demon commander’s imagination was too rich. Not only did he not flee immediately, but he also wanted to execute a beheading tactic?
He shook hies head slightly and tapped his toes.
The giant turtle understood, its half-shrunken head suddenly extending, reaching out tens to hundreds of meters, swallowing Harald who had just flown up in one gulp.
The demons below, witnessing this scene, were all stunned.
