101: The Battle of Fuzhou (Part Two)
Chapter 100: Rongcheng Defense Battle (Part 2)
"Dad!!!"
Inside the warship, upon hearing Gong Hong's broadcast, Jiang Chen instantly leaped from his seat, his face paling!
His father was currently in the Rongcheng City Military Family Sanatorium. If Rong City suffered an attack from the Red Devil Destruction Cannon, then his father... would surely die!
The sudden bad news left Jiang Chen stunned and rigid in place!
The amount of information revealed in City Lord Gong Hong's words was simply too vast!
Especially the fact that the Red Skull Devil Fanged Fish Clan actually used a Formation Disk Fish to amplify their attack, which was completely unexpected.
One must know that even among rare attribute sea beasts, the Formation Disk Fish, a spatial attribute sea beast, is extremely scarce. It can be said to be a once-in-a-lifetime encounter!
The Red Skull Devil Fanged Fish Clan even resorted to using such a sea beast to strike at humanity!
The other examinees were also panicking. Their relatives and friends were currently in Rong City!
Even if they weren't local residents of Rong City, their teachers and school leaders were also staying in Rong City at this moment!
With this one shot from the Red Devil Destruction Cannon, everyone would be annihilated, turning into dust!
At this, both the examinees and soldiers on the warships went mad!
"Boom boom!!"
"Boom boom!!"
Dozens of warships sped frantically towards Rong City, cutting through waves, with engines at full throttle, reaching speeds of over 100 kilometers per hour!
Because of the excessive speed, the warships hummed and trembled, and the hulls emitted various strange noises.
However, at this moment, no one cared about these things; instead, they only wished they could go faster, even faster.
Time felt like an agonizing eternity. The warships charged frantically for a while, and finally, the yellowish coastline of Rong City was coming into view.
At this moment—
"Everyone, look at the sky behind us!"
"What... what is that crimson star?!"
Everyone looked back at the sound, only to see a crimson star suddenly appearing in the sky behind the warships, above the Southern Border Great Wall!
And this crimson star was constantly growing larger!
At first, it was only the size of a light speck, then it gradually became the size of a sesame seed, and then slowly turned into a mung bean!
"That's the Red Devil Destruction Cannon!" someone exclaimed in shock!
Upon seeing this rapidly expanding red light spot, it could be said that the last shred of hope in everyone present vanished!
The Red Skull Devil Fanged Fish Clan had truly launched a frenzied attack; they had truly fired upon Rong City!
"Faster, go faster!" the examinees roared, looking utterly insane.
The warship formation surged forward, and the outline of Rong City became clearer and clearer. The golden defensive Magic Array still covered the city like a giant inverted bowl, protecting its safety.
However, at this moment, in front of Rong City, numerous grotesque red fish swam on the sea surface.
Large amounts of scarlet gas spewed from their bodies, instantly engulfing the entire Rong City and the surrounding sea in a thick mist!
However, this mist was a scarlet red that made people feel a sense of dread!
As soon as one approached this red mist, screams and wails echoed out!
Everyone immediately recognized that these were the Red Skull Devil Fanged Fish's Spirit of Fear and Undead Scorched Earth skills!
Spirit of Fear: A Spirit/Mental Department skill. The Red Skull Devil Fanged Fish releases a mental attack within an area. Enemies who enter will suffer negative effects such as fear and terror, greatly reducing their combat effectiveness!
Undead Scorched Earth: A physical skill. The Red Skull Devil Fanged Fish releases red undead mist within an area. Enemies who enter will suffer corrosive attacks!
It should be noted that these two skills cannot be focused and combined like the Red Demon Ray to form the advanced skill, Red Devil Destruction Cannon.
However, they can be used in conjunction, increasing the skill's range and enhancing its power at the overlapping points!
Both of these skills are very powerful when used individually, but at this moment, the Red Skull Devil Fanged Fish were using them together, forming a combined skill that gave the red mist enveloping the entire Rong City an extremely terrifying lethality!
The Red Skull Devil Fanged Fish army was incredibly well-prepared!
As soon as Gong Hong, the protector of Rong City, left, they launched their plan. Even if Gong Hong received the news and quickly rushed back later, what awaited him was a meticulously designed combination of skills!
Moreover, because of the combined skills of Spirit of Fear and Undead Scorched Earth, the defending soldiers in Rong City at this moment could not rush out!
Because if they dared to deactivate the city's protective Magic Array and lose contact with the outside world, not knowing the specific situation outside, they would likely be attacked by the Red Skull Devil Fanged Fish, and at the same time, Rong City would be exposed to both skills!
At that time, the millions of civilians living in Rong City would be killed by this combined skill!
Amidst a dense red mist, a giant blue Magic Array was etched on the sea surface in front of Rong City, flickering and emitting an intense light.
This blue Magic Array was precisely the Guidance Formation Array.
At this moment, the crimson meteor from the distant sky was frantically flying towards this blue Magic Array.
And... besides this increasingly large crimson meteor, what was even more unsettling was that in the sky above the Southern Border Great Wall, one crimson star after another was rising!
..."All accelerate, charge, charge, charge!!!"
At the very front of the warship, Gong Hong stood tall at the bow, with his Black Armored Army following closely behind him.
The wild sea wind blew, but it was directly pushed away by the palpable killing intent emanating from their bodies!
Gong Hong stood before the red mist, letting out an angry roar, leading the mighty warships to plunge into it!
"Sizzle!"
"Ahhh!"
As soon as the warships entered the red mist, many examinees immediately clutched their heads, wailing in pain. At the same time, their hair, clothes, and skin, upon contact with the red mist, immediately began to slowly corrode and blacken, emitting wisps of white smoke!
Just at this critical moment, a summoning Magic Array flashed behind Gong Hong, and three powerful pet beasts emerged consecutively.
The first was a massive Unicorn Iron Whale, covered in layers of majestic armor, about thirty meters long!
The second was a Poison Ball Sea Cow, seven or eight meters long, covered in black scales, with an exaggeratedly swollen belly, as if holding a large green ball.
The third was the smallest, an Immortal Zither Frog, about one meter tall, with a verdant green body, holding a konghou (ancient harp) zither in its hands.
Species: Poison Ball Sea Cow
Level: Late Commander
Bloodline: Late Commander
Skills: Poison Gas Plague, Poison Ball Explosion
Species: Immortal Zither Frog
Level: Mid Commander
Bloodline: Late Commander
Skills: Inspiring Sound, Purifying Sound, Killing Sound, Sound Shield
As soon as the Immortal Zither Frog appeared, its four green frog fingers immediately plucked the konghou strings rapidly. Instantly, sounds like gurgling clear springs echoed in the surrounding sea, and ripples appeared in the surrounding air. The painful wails immediately disappeared, and the world became clear!
This was the Immortal Zither Frog's skill: Purifying Sound!
At the same time, the Immortal Zither Frog's other hand also rested on the konghou zither, and another wave of beautiful zither music flowed out, activating the Sound Shield skill!
A transparent, glass-like shield appeared above the warship formation, enveloping all the warships like a bubble, pushing all the red mist away!
With the Immortal Zither Frog's assistance, dozens of warships continued to rush forward smoothly, frantically heading towards the Guidance Formation Array!
Many examinees breathed a sigh of relief, but Jiang Chen, standing on the deck, still had an extremely heavy expression!
He looked back at the clock on the ship; only two minutes remained!
At this moment, they were still five or six kilometers from Rong City, but they were intercepted by the Red Skull Devil Fanged Fish troops ambushing there!
The red light of the Red Devil Destruction Cannon in the sky was becoming more and more dazzling, already the size of a football!
At this, Jiang Chen turned to look at the three pet beasts summoned by Gong Hong. When he saw the Poison Ball Sea Cow, with its belly as big as a ball, as if pregnant, his eyes immediately filled with deep doubt and shock!
"Wh-why, why would City Lord Gong contract such a pet beast?"
"This... this isn't right... could it be..." Jiang Chen's heart suddenly trembled as he thought of something!
"Bang bang bang!!!"
As Jiang Chen was shocked and confused, a large shadow suddenly appeared on the sea surface far from the warships, and then columns of water shot into the sky!
Those were one after another burly and strong Red Skull Devil Fanged Fish, like zombie fish!
One of these Red Skull Devil Fanged Fish was nearly ten meters in size, with dark red flesh on its body like gemstones, incredibly hard!
"My defeated foe, we meet again!"
As this Red Skull Devil Fanged Fish appeared, its pair of pale white eyes fixed on Gong Hong. Its fanged mouth slowly and arrogantly lifted, and it spoke in human tongue, smiling coldly:
"Gong Hong, two years ago, I devoured one of your units."
"You held a grudge, and last year you finally found an opportunity and retaliated by killing one of my units."
"I know you were not convinced, so a month later, during the typhoon disaster, I led my army to attack your stronghold—Rong City!"
"What a pity, what a great pity!"
This Red Skull Devil Fanged Fish shook its head and sneered: "Originally, the army I led was almost going to break through your stronghold, but that damned Yingtian Beast Taming Academy suddenly interfered, causing my efforts to fail!"
"But it doesn't matter; the weak always escape the fate of being preyed upon by the strong!"
"So today, I have made a comeback, haha, haha!"
"Today, I'll see who can save you now!"
"The cruelest thing in the world is to destroy a person's most important possession right in front of him!"
"Today, I will completely destroy Rong City right before your eyes!"
"Let's see how you stop me, haha!"
"All units, block them!"
Upon seeing this Red Skull Devil Fanged Fish, Gong Hong's eyes immediately turned red: "Hong Xian, you beast!"
Hong Xian was one of the great commanders of the Red Skull Devil Fanged Fish Clan!
Gong Hong's heart instantly sank to the bottom!
His greatest fear had still come true!
