Chapter 1087

Watching these few large ships sailing toward Luting Beach, Wulu made a prompt decision: "Send the remaining ships to pursue."

"Yes!"

Previously, there had been a few small boats picking up Bailong people at Luting Beach, but Wulu hadn't taken it to heart. Small boats couldn't carry many people, and those transported were all women and children.

But these few large ships were different; each could carry at least three to five hundred people. As long as they made a few more trips, several thousand Bailong people could successfully slip away.

There were islands thirty li away from the coastline; once the Bailong people escaped Storm Bay, it wouldn't be easy for him to catch them again.

Fortunately, these few large ships were sailing very slowly, sometimes standing still on the sea surface, sometimes spinning in place; clearly, the Bailong people controlling them were not very skilled.

At this speed, it was easy to catch up.

The Ya Nation people released the boatmen on the shore, ordered them to control the ships, and followed Wulu's order; the large ships were stationed with two hundred elite soldiers, and the small ships with twenty, and they chased after them in a flurry.

It had to be said that the execution of Wulu's army was very strong; after more than a quarter of an hour, over a dozen ships had all gone out to sea.

Between Storm Bay and Luting Beach, there was a long natural reef; ships had to bypass this to reach Luting Beach.

Chasing and fleeing, in the blink of an eye, both sides were over a hundred zhang away from the shore.

The golden eagle also chased after them, circling back and forth above the few fleeing large ships.

Soon, it discovered that there seemed to be something moving back and forth on one of the masts, but it was blocked by the sailcloth, and large groups of thick fog surged nearby, wrapping the sails, so it couldn't see clearly.

This thing moved again.

That was...? It flew lower and leaned over to look; it seemed to be a person! Someone was standing on top of the sailcloth, and when it circled closer again, on one side of the bow, the sailcloth was blown open by a strong wind, and this person suddenly came face-to-face with the golden eagle!

It was a Ya Nation soldier, but with his hands tied behind his back, hanging from the mast and swaying back and forth, with a cloth stuffed in his mouth! This was the original guard on the ship; why did the ship-stealers tie him up there? It was still a bit confused when another shadow suddenly emerged from the bottom of the short sail.

This was a young Bailong person, with loose braids combed behind his head, staring at it with burning eyes.

He was dressed in brownish-yellow, the same color as the sailcloth, and it was hard to be discovered standing behind the sail.

This person was also holding a crossbow. Just as the sailcloth was blown open by the wind, the golden eagle discovered two dark crossbow tips aimed right at it! It was terrified and flipped over, wanting to flap its wings and leave, but the opponent took the first step and pressed the trigger.

With a soft "tseng" sound, almost covered by the sound of the wind, the special arrows from the crossbow changed from two to four, eight...

The longer the distance, the faster they fissioned.

Fortunately, the distance between the two sides was only twelve zhang, and the crossbow arrows only fissioned three times before shooting in front of the golden eagle.

The golden eagle was scared out of its wits, shot upward, and suddenly tucked its wings to reduce the volume of the attack.

But even so, sixteen arrows covered a large range, and at least three hit it! This was one of the magic tools that the Mu Nation's State Preceptor, Wang Xingyi, had given to He Lingchuan, the "Arrow Locust."

He Lingchuan had previously thought the Rain of Pears Blossom Needles were too labor-intensive and material-consuming, and coincidentally, the casting masters of Lingshan thought the same, so the "Arrow Locust" they made had the "fission" supernatural ability; the longer the shooting distance, the more arrows fissioned out.

If they were a hundred zhang apart, not considering whether they could hit, the final rain of arrows would fall like dense locusts.

This was originally a range supernatural ability, a weapon for group damage, but He Lingchuan, considering the golden eagle's agile movements and Wanqi Feng's swaying on the mast, which made his accuracy worse than usual, lent this tool to him to use.

However, the golden eagle had Yuan power to protect it, and its wings carried gale winds, sweeping away a few arrows, but it was hit and injured, especially with two holes in its wings, making it unable to ride the wind anymore and could only fall into the sea.

This was Wanqi Feng's purpose; as long as it was shot down, the Ya Nation people would have one less high-altitude view.

Wulu "hissed," also feeling a sharp pain in his ribs.

This golden eagle was his spiritual pet and could share its vision with him. But when he used this ability, their fields of vision overlapped and influenced each other. In other words, when the golden eagle shared its vision with him, the eagle's eyes would also be limited by human eyes, not as sharp as usual.

He Lingchuan and the eyeball spider were the same. Wanting to observe in real-time with one's own eyes had a price.

And according to the spiritual pet contract, if the eagle was injured, Wulu also had to share a portion of the damage.

"Damn it!" When he caught this Bailong person, he would definitely execute him with his own hands!

Just then, two small boats on the sea surface suddenly capsized.

Wulu thought it was the boatmen playing tricks, but when he leaned over with the long tube mirror to look, his eyes widened!

Snake-men, snake-men again.

But these were much larger in size, at least several zhang long, similar to medium-sized whales. They joined forces, grabbing the small boats and shaking them crazily; the soldiers on the boats didn't even have time to scream before the boats capsized!

They treated the large ships the same way. However, the difficulty of capsizing a large ship was a bit high.

Fortunately, the snake-men had another trick.

These cargo ships were all rented by Does Bailie from Blade Port; in order to carry more people, they had specifically emptied their inventory before departure, so there were no heavy objects for ballast, and they were shaken particularly violently.

The angle of shaking easily exceeded ninety degrees, and several times the inner side of the ship's rail was pressed below the water surface.

They had experience in attacking sea ships, knowing they didn't have to tangle with these humans who weren't good at swimming; they only needed to drive them into the water.

The rest, the sea would help them complete.

With such a large amplitude of shaking, the boatmen and sailors couldn't hold on, and the Ya Nation soldiers naturally couldn't stand it either! They were used to growing up on land and having their feet on solid ground; encountering such jolts suddenly, most people couldn't react at all and fell into the water.

The distance was too far, and Wulu couldn't hear, but he could imagine the screams of his soldiers falling into the water.

Splash, splash, the sea surface was particularly lively, like dumplings being dropped.

This was a shipwreck occurring in the bay! Even standing on the shore watching, this scene was particularly tragic and shocking.

The few ships chasing the Bailong people all stopped without exception; either they capsized, or the soldiers were fighting the snake-men on the deck, all hysterical; who could still care about the few fleeing targets ahead? "What the hell are these things!" So fierce in the water? Wulu's face was livid, and he exerted force unconsciously, almost crushing the long tube mirror.

Miscalculated; there were actually giant beasts among these snake-men!

They had just been hiding in the sea; there were actually big guys in the sea who could attack sea ships.

These Ya Nation soldiers weren't good at water skills; after falling into the water, they could only struggle and call for help, with no way to use their skills. The Yin Hui swimming over on the side easily started a massacre! A few Yin Hui with arrows stuck in their bodies were killing particularly vigorously, stirring up blood splashes on the sea surface. Previously, the soldiers stood on the ships and shot arrows at them, and the Yuan power hurt them so painfully; fortunately, retribution came particularly quickly! Seeing his soldiers struggling in the water and being slaughtered, Wulu hurriedly ordered his subordinates to run to the reef to rescue them, while shooting arrows at the Yin Hui in the water, and shooting rope arrows or rope guns at the falling soldiers, letting them grab the ropes to make it convenient for people on the shore to drag them to safety.

Snake-men were like dragons in the water; humans definitely didn't dare to go into the sea. Wulu thought of this method in a hurry, which was truly a clever move, and at the same time, he didn't forget to send reinforcements to Luting Beach to stabilize the situation.

There were thirteen hundred soldiers pursuing by ship, and now basically all were struggling in the water. Plus the twenty-six hundred people besieging the Bailong people, he still had over twenty-three hundred troops he could mobilize.

Among these twenty-three hundred people, four hundred were sent to rescue the companions in the water.

Immediately after, the sounds of shouting and killing shook the sky from the northeast: Does Bailie people and Bailong people launched an impact on Storm Bay! This army had been shrinking its defense for a long time, and after Wanqi Tong was seriously injured, it was even chaotic for a while, making the Ya Nation people feel that victory was in sight. But in just this short while, it turned from defense to offense, launching a fierce impact on the Ya Nation army that was encircling them! Clearly, they wanted to seize the opportunity to fight an inside-outside coordination with the snake-men.

Wulu couldn't help but sneer.

Just relying on these snake-men, the Bailong tribe thought they could turn the tables? Naive! Thirteen hundred soldiers fell into the water; Wulu's use of troops was indeed not as generous as before, but the remaining nearly two thousand troops were more than enough to suppress this counterattack by the Bailong tribe!

His army fought in turns and rested sufficiently; conversely, the Bailong tribe opposite had struggled and fought for ten hours, and although tenacious and brave, they were already at the end of their strength.

This last wave of attacks was like a flash in the pan; as long as the Ya Nation people successfully suppressed them again, the Bailong tribe could be broken! Therefore, Wulu was not surprised but happy, immediately allocating another seventeen hundred people to attack Luting Beach, leaving only two hundred personal guards by his side.

The opponent's reinforcements had appeared, and once the trump card was revealed, it was no longer a trump card, so it was his turn to deal the cards.

With his order, the army mobilized immediately.

The battle at Luting Beach once again entered a white-hot stage. With these seventeen hundred people joining, the scene was immediately different.

The Bailong people's tenacity couldn't withstand the disparity in numbers and the gap in Yuan power.

Wulu had originally wanted to wear them down slowly to obtain the final victory at the minimum sacrifice, but now he changed his mind.

The end of this battle was coming soon, right? He also admired the tenacity of these Bailong people, so please let the Wanqi family fall into the land of no return with such tenacity and bravery! After a long time, a trusted aide brought a soldier and arrived: "Report to the General, this person has details about the sea beasts to report."

This was exactly what Wulu urgently needed: "Speak."

The Ya Nation soldier said: "Report to the General, these snake-man-like monsters are called 'Yin Hui,' my brother once told me about them. They are unique to the Yangshan Archipelago in the west."

Wulu's heart moved, remembering what the Bailong captives had said, that the reinforcements came from the west.

"My brother was a merchant, often traveling back and forth to Blade Port in the west. He said the Yangshan Archipelago opposite the port originally belonged to Does Bailie, but was shrouded in evil miasma, and there were man-eating Yin Hui appearing, so humans couldn't get close. Later, Does Bailie sold this place to someone else, and the island's evil miasma dissipated, and the Yin Hui, born of evil energy, have since lived in peace with sea ships and humans."

Living in peace with humans, yet attacking Ya Nation people hundreds of li away? Wulu frowned: "Who suppressed them? The person who bought the island?"
