Chapter 3651: Great Victory
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Bang! Bang bang!!
After the red spikes landed on the Licker, they immediately turned into a mass of red light, binding it and firmly pinning it to the ship’s deck.
"Huff... huff..."
Belmonte rolled a few times on the deck to absorb the impact after landing, then quickly pushed himself up. He was gasping heavily, and his back was already soaked with cold sweat.
For the first time, he felt how close he was to death.
Hutt, leading a group of priests, activated their mental strength. At the same time, dense blood-red spikes shot forward, pinning more than ten Lickers that had rushed onto the ship to the ground.
The Imperial soldiers immediately rushed forward, swinging their sharp blades and continuously slashing at the Lickers.
However, the Lickers’ defense was terrifying. The blades only left white marks on them.
The wounds that were finally cut open healed again in an instant.
How were they supposed to fight this?
The Lickers were pinned in place, yet they could not be killed even while being hacked at!
An extreme sense of fear spread across the ship.
Hutt also had to expend enormous mental strength to suppress the Lickers. He turned back and said, "Commander, the enemy is too strong. We were not prepared for this battle. We should retreat first!"
Belmonte stood up with his greatsword, looking at the other Imperial ships around him.
The Imperial soldiers on those ships were rapidly being killed under the attack of the Licker swarm!
If they ran, there might still be a chance of survival. If they stayed, all of them would likely die.
But...
The Belmonte family would be shamed by his retreat today!
Belmonte only felt his throat dry. Gritting his teeth, he said in a deep voice, "Retreat first!"
"Whoosh!"
The moment his words fell, a figure swept down from the sky and rapidly approached the bow of the ship.
It was Fang Heng.
Fang Heng had been observing from the sky the whole time. He had just noticed that the so-called deity on the ship seemed to partially restrain the Lickers, which sparked his interest.
The Lyman Empire’s ship deity seemed like high-grade equipment!
It was even stronger than the one he had obtained in the palace.
He would try to seize it and bind it.
When the great mage Hutt saw Fang Heng rushing toward the deity, he thought Fang Heng was trying to interfere with the deity and disrupt his spell control, and his heart jumped. He shouted, "Stop him!"
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!"
Instantly, countless blood mist condensed into blood-red spears that rushed toward Fang Heng.
"Heh..."
Fang Heng sneered.
The power of the deity might work on Lickers, which had little resistance to spells.
But against him?
What a joke.
Domain!
Activate!
A gray death domain rapidly spread outward from Fang Heng’s feet.
In an instant, the blood-red spikes entering his domain were covered in a layer of death-gray color.
The blood color on the spears quickly faded, and then they were completely reduced to dust under the erosion of the death domain.
"Pfft!!"
Hutt and the group of priests controlling the deity suffered a backlash at the same time and spat out blood.
How could this be?
Hutt stared at Fang Heng in disbelief.
Even the power of the deity could not affect him?
In the next moment, Fang Heng appeared in front of the bow deity and reached out to grab it.
System prompts flashed rapidly in Fang Heng’s vision.
[Hint: The player discovered master-level deit-Corresponding deity (unknown).]
[Hint: The player’s fleet can bind this deity.]
[Hint: After installation, the player’s fleet will gain deity bonuses.]
The moment Fang Heng touched it, a burning power flowed from his palm into his consciousness sea.
The hell breath in his consciousness sea was triggered again, instantly destroying the invading power.
Immediately after, the power of hell counterattacked.
Perhaps because the deity’s power entering his consciousness sea this time was stronger than before, the counterattack from hell breath was also stronger than ever.
"Bang!!!"
In an instant, the bow deity exploded under the invasion of hell breath.
The soldiers on the ship looked at Fang Heng in terror.
This guy...
He even destroyed a deity?
Was he not afraid of God’s Punishment at all?
Hutt stared at Fang Heng even more intensely.
A person who could destroy divine power...
Who exactly was he?
"Tch, still not good enough. What a hassle..."
Fang Heng clicked his tongue when he saw the deity shatter in his hand. He turned, glanced at the others, and flew back into the air.
In the next moment, the Lickers, now free from the deity’s suppression, broke out of the blood mist restraints and immediately attacked the surrounding Imperial soldiers.
"Not good! Protect the Great Commander!"
At the same time, on Pulau Island in the distance, Stefan watched the chaotic Lyman Empire fleet, his eyes filled with disbelief.
What exactly were those monsters that had fallen from the sky?
The Bone Dragon had not even officially entered the battlefield, yet those monsters alone had already wiped out most of the Lyman Empire’s elite naval fleet.
A deep sense of dread rose in Stefan’s heart.
What were those creatures that spread the aura of death?
After a long silence, Stefan heard a dry voice beside him: "They are coming back."
"Mm."
Stefan looked up. After the initial chaos, once all the soldiers on the ships had been eliminated, the vessels gradually became quiet and drifted on the sea with the currents.
Then, under some unknown force, the ships slowly began moving toward Fang Heng’s merchant fleet.
At the same time, the dark cloud where the Bone Dragon had been slowly dispersed.
Everything seemed as if it had never happened.
A soldier hesitated and asked, "Sir, the ships are entering artillery range. We..."
Stefan frowned and raised his telescope to observe.
The ships had indeed entered the island’s artillery range, but it seemed all enemies on board were already dead.
The entire 300-man Lyman Empire assault force had been wiped out just like that?
What kind of existence was Fang Heng’s Chamber of Commerce?
"Cease fire. Crisis signal lifted."
Stefan looked at the scene, feeling as though he was dreaming. He still could not believe it.
"Come with me. Let’s go take a look."
"Yes!"
...
More than twenty minutes later.
The Chamber of Commerce had gathered part of the Lyman ships left after the defeat and once again docked at the right harbor of Pulau Island.
Nearly three hundred ships were densely packed together, looking somewhat crowded.
The Imperial soldiers were once again shocked by what they saw.
An unprecedented epic-level victory.
Not a single friendly ship was damaged, and all enemy ships were captured.
Zero casualties on their side.
Even war consumption was zero.
Stefan was also somewhat stunned.
If he had received such a report, he would have thought it was a joke.
But reality was exactly like this.
And now he had to immediately write such a report.
For a moment, he did not know how to explain what he had just witnessed.
