604: Chapter 604: Austro-Hungarian Warships Destroyed

Oriental Chen's three warships destroyed a village.

This action startled the Moni Sect Leader.

Coincidence?

Or intentional?

If this incident only made him slightly suspicious, then what happened next completely shocked him.

Oriental Chen's two northern routes, each with 10 warships, also gave up their pursuit and almost simultaneously destroyed two villages they passed through.

Two more Elder Halls were destroyed.

The targeting was now very obvious.

Oriental Chen also knew that doing this continuously would not work.

So, he ordered the three armies to randomly destroy a few more villages.

Only then did the Moni Sect Leader breathe a sigh of relief.

At the same time, the Egula-Maya Combined Fleet also began their mission to clear out the Elder Halls.

They were each responsible for an area, slaughtering villages one by one.

Such behavior, under normal circumstances, would be brutal and inhumane.

However, at this moment, no one felt guilty.

In their eyes, no one here could be innocent.

Since a feint attack wouldn't work, the Moni Sect Leader issued an order to defeat them one by one.

The southern front was critical, and there was no time to delay.

Oriental Chen's 3 warships were being pursued by a total of 60 warships from Shi Rongchang's unit and Rad Adan's unit; there was no doubt they couldn't win.

So now they could only flee.

The direction of their escape, of course, was towards the Egula-Maya Combined Fleet.

This was a tough battle.

Twenty minutes later, the two sides met and immediately began an artillery duel.

The defensive capability of the Energy Shield also had its limits.

In a one-on-one situation, as long as the energy was not depleted, the opponent's attacks would certainly not be able to break through the shield's protection.

But in a multi-on-one situation, the result was different.

When an Energy Shield faced multiple attacks simultaneously, it had to allocate a portion of its energy to absorb the kinetic energy of the projectiles one by one. When there were too many points of attack, the shield would be overwhelmed.

The good thing was that the weapons on the Mordo warships were not very advanced; they were all bullets and shells.

Although the attack frequency was high, it was not a continuous attack after all, and the probability of breaking through the Energy Shield was extremely limited.

Therefore, during the exchange of fire, the Maya side also suffered battle damage, but it was not very serious.

On the other hand, with the assistance of the Egula warships, they could basically destroy one warship with a single combined strike.

The battle ended in half an hour.

Three Maya warships were destroyed, while the Egula side suffered no battle damage.

All 60 Mordo warships were annihilated.

This result was simply unacceptable to the Moni Sect Leader.

The almost invincible defense of the Energy Shield made him feel very frustrated.

"Sect Leader, I observe that their Energy Shield can simultaneously defend against a maximum of 8 attack points. I think if we can adjust the attack rhythm, it might have a better effect," an Elder suggested.

"That's right. Concentrate all warships there, and order each Elder Hall to activate its artillery array to cooperate with the fleet's attack," the Sect Leader said.

"Sect Leader, isn't that too risky? If all warships are destroyed, we will lose air superiority," an Elder thought it was inappropriate.

"There's no other way now. The pressure on the southern front is immense. If we don't reinforce it quickly, I'm afraid the entire line will fall," the Sect Leader said with a frown.

"But if the warship losses are severe, the southern front won't be able to hold. I suggest abandoning the attack on Ulan and Egula and heading directly to the southern front," the Elder suggested, full of worry.

"But if we do that, if they attack from behind, we will be even more passive," the Sect Leader said.

"This..." The Elder was speechless.

"I believe we can order Putian Xiaoyezi to reinforce the southern front," another Elder spoke up.

"Alright. Then, order the remaining warships to harass the Egula and Ulan fleets in the form of guerrilla warfare, slowing down their destruction of cities while preserving strength as much as possible. At the same time, immediately contact Putian Xiaoyezi to immediately eliminate the Okkhung warships and reinforce the southern front," the Sect Leader instructed.

"Yes!"

The Elders received their orders and went to relay them.

At this time, the Okkhung side had already begun to collectively flee north.

Putian Xiaoyezi had already returned to the fleet, and upon receiving the order, immediately launched an attack on the Okkhung side.

Okkhung's warships were just iron shells, with no shields and no spatial prisms, as fragile as paper.

They were damaged with a touch, and a serious impact would cause them to crash; destroying them was incredibly easy.

Oriental Chen no longer needed them to attract firepower and let them fend for themselves.

Thus, the remaining 37 Okkhung warships were completely annihilated within 20 minutes.

After the battle, Putian Xiaoyezi immediately led her fleet to turn south, heading towards the central part of the border line.

There were still 27 airships operated by Oriental Chen attracting the bugs.

Putian Xiaoyezi was unaware that there were no people inside these warships, nor did she know that Oriental Chen was controlling them from behind the scenes. In her view, these were Okkhung warships, and they were also on the list for elimination.
