Chapter 530: Anxious
Ye Zhongming placed the Demon Nurturing Bee Nest on the wall. A black patch of needle birds appeared to face off against the crab soldiers.
The mutated lifeforms with thick shells were things that needle birds should be afraid of. Their primary attacking method was their needles, which might not be able to pierce through the defense. If they couldn’t break through, their threat would be reduced by more than half.
But the number of crab soldiers was much fewer than the ocean beasts below. Hundreds would land at once, which gave the needle birds time to perform.
The needle-birds couldn’t pierce the armor of higher-level ones, but there were some higher-level needle-birds too. Moreover, the needle birds had the numbers advantage. No matter how tough the armor was, there were gaps for joints and eyes. So, no matter how tough the armor was, they were killed instantly when thousands of needle birds attacked.
The survivors on the wall had to avoid being hit by the landing ocean beasts.
Ranged job users stopped defending the skies and started to attack those on the ground. Ye Zhongming handed out the mental energy recovery potions he had collected for a month to maintain their attacks. Bright skills landed on the ocean beast wave and caused huge damage.
Gunners had destroyed the naga archers and were freed up. They started to attack the other Naga warriors. These fellows were very strong and could suppress humans of the same level. If they charged on the walls, it would be a huge problem for the Ying City alliance.
Ye Zhongming started to aim at the higher level naga warriors when most of the City Crushing Beasts were stopped.
His experience was on full display. With his orders, the Ying City Alliance army didn’t attack people close to them. That method seemed effective but only solved the problem ahead of them, leaving problems for the future. Their attack strength went the opposite of time. Only elite squads would walk out of this habit. But the attacking side was the opposite; the cannon fodder would often be at the front.
For example, these Dwarf Mermaids. There were many of them, and they looked very fierce. But if you looked carefully, although some of their evolution levels were high, they were mostly levels two and three. If one wasted skills and stamina on them, the naga warriors that were level four and five would crush them.
Ye Zhongming ordered them not to care about the Dwarf Mermaids that were climbing and to focus their firepower on the Naga warriors.
The second form of the Violent Lightning Turret, the lightning ball, showed its strength.
This attack that was super powerful within 300 meters could be compared to a combination of multiple evolved’s ranged skills. A basin-sized lightning ball flew forward. It didn’t look quick but it was still faster than any normal skill. It spread when it hit the ocean beast wave. The strong current and momentum spread and even blew a hole in the ground.
Three turrets, three lightning balls at once, it was enough to wipe out a batch of the ocean beasts.
Ye Zhongming didn’t hold back on the demon crystals that he had collected. He told Liang Chuyin, Shengyuan, and Park Xiuying to control the turrets. At the same time, wiping out the ocean beasts also helped them collect contribution points.
Shengyuan cheered when he saw the points rise quickly.
Ying City’s side was too chaotic such that Flying Sky Ship looked over. Although both sides had to face ocean beasts, Cloud Peak was too strong. Many ocean beasts died, and many from their side would head over to assist. This reduced their pressure. In just that short while, most of the walls were seized by ocean beasts. The north wall was one of the few still holding on strongly.
Ye Zhongming looked at the regions nearby and saw that the situation was risky, but they were still holding on. Unlike the ocean giants in the inner wall, no strong leader-level mutated lifeform had appeared here.
This was what he was willing to see.
The shocking aura far away stopped and didn’t get close. Ye Zhongming didn’t know why and what it was waiting for. It was worried about something.
He looked at the walls and back at the ocean giant. He gave another order.
“Prepare to fight!”
The Ying City warriors took a few steps back and made some space. The ranged evolved retreated to the sides. Those at the front who could see the situation below helped to direct the attacks.
The only people that didn’t retreat were those near the three turrets. They had to protect them. The turrets were very strong, and if one were within the range of the lightning ball, those level three and below would die. Those level-four mutated lifeforms at the center would even die instantly. Even level-five lifeforms would suffer from huge injuries.
Although many ocean beasts existed, only a few were level five and above.
Ying City’s retreat allowed the Dwarf Mermaid to get onto the wall. Many Intestine Tail Seahorses also jumped up. What people paid attention to were those beasts hiding in the shells. After such a long time, they spat towards the wall. These weird beasts were spat onto the walls.
Not only did the humans have trump cards, but the ocean beasts did, too. This was one of them.
But Ying City’s ranged attacks had caused huge casualties. The Naga Warriors, the core strength that was attacked suffered huge losses. The remaining couldn’t keep up, so there was no support when the other fishes got onto the walls. The close combat humans were full of energy, and they exploded.
Skills and weapons slashed. These monsters, half the size of humans, couldn’t react and were pushed off the wall.
“Back off!”
Ye Zhongming gave the order, and Ying City warriors retreated again, letting the beasts get up.
“Kill!”
This was a collective roar. The ocean beasts that charged up were killed for a second time.
This strong explosiveness stunned the Flying Sky Ship squad.
But the middle-aged captain noticed something different.
Anxiousness appeared on the Ying City Alliance commander’s face.
