Chapter 177 The Battle Begins
The sky was covered with dark clouds, the sea breeze was howling, the waves were rising and falling, and the shaking sound brought by thunder brought a doomsday-like scene to the sea.
At this moment, ten thousand meters away from the sea on the east side of the northern border, the invisible Liyue army was quietly observing the front. Ye Li was standing on the deck at the bow. Xiao, who was waiting with his arms folded, looked at the sea with an indifferent expression, silently calculating the time in his heart.
"Xiao, you should know very well that this war will not be without sacrifices, and our artillery fire will not be able to avoid killing your people. You must be prepared to fight them with swords."
"You don't need to remind me. In the years of fighting, their karma has already corroded into their bones. Except for the tribesmen and children with strong willpower, I will free them all."
"Okay, as long as you can use that item to temporarily suppress them at the critical moment, we can save as many as we can."
Xiao nodded indifferently. He knew the influence of karma and nightmares better than anyone else. Apart from those four, the only tribesmen who could hold on until now and not fall was himself, who was with the Dream Demon. The other tribesmen either went crazy in the long war, or were driven crazy and collapsed by nightmares.
It's like a logical closed loop, nightmares will interfere with their consciousness and make them fall into killing, and the karma accumulated in their bodies will make them even more crazy. Even if they can control their own crazy characteristics, they can't resist the nightmare creation of the Dream Demon that interferes with their minds more and more.
This back and forth, repeated jumping behavior is also one of the reasons why most members of the Yaksha clan died.
The flying machinery flew secretly in the sky where the clouds were densely shrouded. The special perspective equipment allowed them to see the situation below clearly among the clouds as if it were a clear day.
Synchronized projection images appeared on the deck of the bow. Countless Qianyanjuns set up elemental mechanisms, and various subsequent supplementary resources and ammunition were also moved out one by one. More than 500 giant ships have entered a state of combat readiness. Once the battle situation in front reaches a certain critical point, the immortal will give the order and all artillery will be fired, bringing unexpected and heavy damage to both sides.
……
Under the boundless deep sea, many Yakshas and monsters followed a large number of demon gods and hid in the seabed. Their eyes were fixed on the North Sea monsters who were constantly patrolling on the sea. As long as the Dream Demon God gave the order, they would swarm out and kill all the subordinates of Chilong.
"Mi Nu, we have arrived at the designated target and are ready."
"The east side is ready. Report it."
Listening to the two pieces of news, Mi Nu took a deep breath in the deep sea, and his expression suddenly became serious.
"Understood. I have reported it to Lord Dream Demon."
Mi Nu emphasized the words "Lord Mengmo". This respectful title for the enemy made him feel very sick, but he was surrounded by the enemy's people and he could not show it too obviously. After all, once his little trick was discovered, the number of tribesmen who could escape today would definitely be less than expected.
……
At the South China Sea Islands, which were separated by a straight line of sea, the Dream Demon God received the news that the front line was ready. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, and a little madness flashed in his eyes. He opened his mouth and ordered:
"The Yaksha tribe led the charge and cleared a bloody path for the other monsters. This time we must seize the resources in Chilong's territory and make this guy pay the price for what he did to us."
When the order of the Dream Demon was issued, the Yaksha clan instantly fell into a dream. The collision between illusion and reality made them immediately go crazy. They rushed out of the sea as if they were not afraid of death, and divided into small teams to kill the Demons guarding various places on the east side.
The demons that Chilong recruited were not very strong, but their life-saving skills were first-rate. The moment they saw the enemy rushing towards them, they spread the news and turned around and ran away.
As the sea surface fluctuated violently, countless monsters rushed out. Nearly a thousand lower-level demons and a hundred middle-level demons went around and began to reap some of the demons that were injured by the Yaksha's surprise attack.
The war was on the verge of breaking out. Both sides created waves on the sea. The tsunami surged for thousands of meters. The horrible elemental fluctuations brought a devastating disaster to the sea.
The water dragon rolled back and forth, flames filled the air, the rocks turned into giant shields to block attacks from the outside, and merciless lightning suddenly attacked from above, creating countless lightning flashes on the surface of the sea.
The fight between demons, the game between Yakshas and demons, and the roars of demons with fangs bared spread throughout the battlefield.
Blood of various colors fell onto the sea surface and was evaporated by the attacks of various elements into blood-colored gas in the sky. At this moment, the Qianyan Army members who were operating the flying mechanisms in the sky and observing the areas below had more solemn expressions than each other, because the battle between the flying monsters below them was about to affect them.
At this moment, on the deck at the bow of the ship, Xiao's eyes were filled with extreme anger. The karma in his body slowly appeared on the surface due to the influence of his emotions, and surrounded Xiao in the form of mist.
Ye Li frowned, looked at the situation on the battlefield ahead, stretched out his hand to suppress Xiao who wanted to rush forward, and said calmly:
"Don't be impulsive. Now is a test of your patience. If you rush out like this, not only will we be exposed, but your people may suffer more casualties."
The jade pendant on his waist glowed, and the karma on Xiao's body was absorbed, allowing him to calm down successfully. However, the urgency in his golden eyes could not be concealed.
"The Dream Demon! That damn bastard! How dare he send all the children of the tribe to the battlefield? This is unforgivable!"
Xiao growled with gnashing teeth, his golden eyes bloodshot, but the light from the jade pendant was helping him suppress the runaway karma.
"That guy is so sinister that he even resorted to such a method. It is simply unforgivable."
There was a coldness in Ye Li's eyes. He had a new understanding of the bottom line of the Dream Demon God, and there was fear in his tone.
The fighting continued on the battlefield. The leading members of the Yaksha clan fell to the ground one by one. Except for the four strongest ones, most of the clan members were dispersed and fought on their own.
"Mi Nu, the children on the west side have been dispersed. We will take action once the battlefield continues to slow down."
"Brother Fushe, the children on the east side are now in your care."
"No problem, Yingda, I will take them all away without leaving any one behind. Maybe we can meet Liyue's troops on the way."
"Fa Nan, what's the situation on the south side?"
"The children are already fighting on the edge. They are the least vulnerable to the karma and nightmares. I will find a chance to take them away. You have to hold on too."
"Don't worry, I can still withstand the backlash of karma and nightmares. At most, it will consume my own vitality."
The four most powerful Yakshas communicated through the tribe's telepathy and led a group of tribesmen from all over the four directions, slowly moving towards the border battlefield.
Coincidentally, the southern troops led by Fanan were close to the direction of Liyue's ship. As long as they left the battlefield and fled quickly, they would collide with Liyue's main force.
