151: Fighting the Harpy Eagle
On the morning of the eighth day, Red Beard, accompanied by two sailors, one fat and one thin, rushed to find Han Huohuo: "King, King, they're coming soon!"
"Don't panic, speak slowly. Who is coming? Is it the Black Wizard?"
"It is him, but it's not him..."
Red Beard had run all the way, panting heavily, unable to speak clearly.
Han Huohuo handed him a cup of water, letting him catch his breath.
"King, the Black Wizard is coming, and he's brought allies. It's Harpy Eagle, one of the Pirate King's seven Pirate Generals."
Mentioning Harpy Eagle, Red Beard's face was filled with panic.
"Is Harpy Eagle more powerful than the Black Wizard?"
"King, Harpy Eagle is much more powerful than the Black Wizard. He is the strongest among the seven Pirate Generals. Primarily, on his pirate ship, he raises a large number of Devil Harpy Eagles. The huge Harpy Eagles can even tear through masts directly with their claws!"
While speaking, Red Beard also looked up at the sky.
Han Huohuo also looked up.
Several huge Harpy Eagles were circling in the sky, gazing at Wind Whisper Island. If Red Beard hadn't reminded him, he wouldn't have known these Harpy Eagles were actually artificially trained raptors.
The enemy had finally arrived.
"Prepare for battle!"
The sound of the bronze bell rang out, and the entire island began to mobilize. Because Jiang Xiaowen needed to command the Thunder God Turrets this time, she did not leave Wind Whisper Island and conducted defensive operations on the island with Han Xin.
The sun was directly overhead, at its most dazzling, when the distant fleet finally appeared on the horizon.
They were all tall ships, with uniform attire. Harpy Eagle was the nickname of this Pirate General; his real name had long been forgotten by everyone.
The legendary warship, Green Ark.
Harpy Eagle's Green Ark was like a piece of emerald, emitting a dazzling green light, floating on the sea, extremely conspicuous.
In nature, only highly venomous creatures are very brightly colored, warning any enemy attempting to harm them.
Just like the Green Ark.
Although the Green Ark was not venomous, it had many Eagles. No one knew how these Eagles flew out of the Green Ark.
Han Huohuo was sorting through information.
"This is a good ship. It has a huge space inside, hiding countless Harpy Eagles. Some even speculate that this ship is connected to a secret realm, and that secret realm contains countless Harpy Eagles. That's why Harpy Eagle has never lost a war he participated in!"
"Secret realm?"
"Yes, right there on the Green Ark!"
As Han Huohuo stared at the Green Ark, his forehead throbbed violently. That was the Time-Space Eye, detecting strong space-time information.
Zheng He pondered carefully, contemplating how to fight. If everything was true, and the number of these Harpy Eagles could truly be infinite, then this would definitely be an extremely dangerous and tough battle.
Han Huohuo certainly didn't believe such nonsense about being infinite, but if the number reached a certain point, you could understand it as infinite.
Han Xin sat halfway up the mountain, also gazing at the fleet that appeared on the sea. He didn't offer any suggestions; he didn't understand naval warfare, but he knew that naval warfare didn't have many tricks. It was more about a head-to-head clash of strength.
Victory goes to the one with strong ships and sharp cannons!
When rivals meet on a narrow path, the brave one wins!
Han Xin knew his own Lord; once in danger, he was fiercer than anyone, so there was no need to say anything.
Zheng He was also someone who could fight tough battles. The only thing he didn't understand was, just how strong was the enemy?
Harpy Eagle was much more terrifying than the Black Wizard.
He was here to settle the score for the Black Wizard!
"Dark clouds! Look, the dark clouds are coming!"
Everyone looked up.
The clear sky suddenly filled with dark clouds, which were covering the island.
"My god, those are all Harpy Eagles, that's not dark clouds!"
Zheng He began issuing combat orders.
"All warships heed the order! Charge towards the Green Ark at full speed! All firepower is unrestricted! Sink the Green Ark for me!"
The inner harbor gate opened.
Dozens of frigates, escorting the two amphibious assault ships on either side, charged out together.
There were too many Harpy Eagles; bombers couldn't be used. All anti-aircraft artillery on all ships was activated.
The Thunder God Turrets had an extremely long range. Although they couldn't hit the distant Green Ark, they could assist the amphibious assault ships in defending the sky.
Lightning roared, and light magic missiles were constantly firing in the air.
The Thunder God Turrets had ten times the range, covering a vast area, but the Green Ark was conveniently stopped just outside the turret's range, only continuously releasing Devil Harpy Eagles.
Harpy Eagle, wearing a strange hat, sat at the bow of the Green Ark, looking at the strange metal ships on the opposite side.
"This opponent seems a bit interesting?"
The Black Pearl was not far from the Green Ark. Harpy Eagle could even see the Black Wizard also standing at the bow. He inwardly despised this dark magician, but who made him one of the Pirate Generals under the Pirate King?
Harpy Eagle was upholding the authority of the Pirate, not sticking up for the Black Wizard.
Compared to the Black Wizard's ragtag army, Harpy Eagle was more like a regular army. His thousands of warships were all standard warships, and his sailors all wore uniform green uniforms with the pattern of the Devil Harpy Eagle on them.
The flags of all ships also bore the fierce mark of the Devil Harpy Eagle.
"Kill! Kill all these outsiders who violate the Pirate code!"
The Eagles, like dark clouds in the sky, rushed over, and thousands of warships on the sea charged forward.
"Kill! Target the Green Ark!"
Han Huohuo didn't know if the legend of the endless Devil Harpy Eagles was true or false, but regardless of truth or falsehood, sinking the Green Ark would solve everything.
Harpy Eagle thought the opposite fleet was foolish. With just a few warships, they dared to charge the formation and come to kill him?
Did they not see the thousands of warships under his command?
This naval battle was clearly extremely fierce. Han Huohuo also fought with true fire, and the Sichuan even charged to the very front.
The Tongtian City fleet formed a 'human' character goose formation. The Sichuan was the sharpest spear, with other warships protecting its flanks, charging out together. The decks of all frigates and amphibious assault ships were completely replaced with missile fighter jets.
Steel aircraft like dark clouds took off and fought with the Harpy Eagles in the sky. On the sea, various ship cannons and magic began to bombard each other, and arrows flew back and forth.
Naval warfare in a chaotic era.
Radiant light burst forth.
Then Harpy Eagle was surprised to find that the enemy's steel warships were indeed sturdy and extremely fast. They charged through the defenses all the way, aggressively killing their way over.
Boom!
With a loud bang, the first frigate was sunk by magic.
These Pirates were truly fierce, capable of sinking even steel warships, much stronger than the Great Qian navy.
The corpses of Harpy Eagles and the wreckage of aircraft in the sky fell like raindrops. The fearless Harpy Eagles and the cold, emotionless steel tangled in the air.
Rumble!
The second frigate was sunk.
