The Ocean Lord Is Unusually Powerful - Chapter 754: Balzarna
The cannons roared, illuminating the entire sky with their brilliance.
Dragons, Dragon whales, sea clan creatures, and demon heroes fought each other relentlessly, with heroes falling and blood staining the sea once again.
Demons were either riddled with arrows or shattered by explosions, while human soldiers were torn apart by claws.
The demon overseer constantly urged the demon soldiers to advance. Balzarna had given the order to break through the Crown of the Ocean at all costs, smashing the demonic iron hooves against the castle symbolizing the highest power in the territory.
Today, the demons seemed particularly frenzied, enduring the continuous barrage of cannon fire, spells, and dragon breaths, marching forward over the bodies of their comrades.
For the first time, the demons approached the coastline, landing on the beaches and assaulting the island’s walls.
“Clear the way, you mongrels!” shouted the demon officer angrily.
Dozens of massive half-beast demons, as large as three-story houses with horned hard shells on their heads, charged from behind, trampling any demons who couldn’t evade them in time.
As they closed in, they lowered their heads with their horned hard shells aimed at the walls, enduring the barrage of arrows and cannon fire as they accelerated.
They aimed to directly smash through the walls!
Seeing this, the firepower on the walls was redirected towards them.
Most of the large half-beast demons fell on the charge, but five managed to crash heavily against the walls.
Boom!
The ground shook violently.
The soldiers on the walls were shaken violently, struggling to hold onto the parapet. The five evil behemoths were quickly focused-fired and killed, but five uneven indentations appeared on the wall, connected by numerous cracks.
“Damn, are these demons insane, using their heads to bash the walls directly!?”
I_Love_Black_Stockings looked at a behemoth crashing against the wall in front of her, the tremendous shaking almost knocking her off, and she immediately started cursing.
The Kobold Strategist also looked at these headstrong demons with some unease. “I reckon the Dreadlord, seeing no decisive results after being blocked here for so many days, has become desperate.”
“How many of us have died?”
“Except those left in the city, all the others are gone.”
I_Love_Black_Stockings grimaced. It meant that only a small portion of the fifth and sixth-tier troops remained.
Of the over two hundred thousand elite members of the King Kong Island Guild, now only about seventy to eighty thousand were left. If they were all wiped out, even if they managed to hold off the demons, their situation would become precarious.
After all, King Kong Island could only maintain a relative peace due to the demon invasion. If some unscrupulous individuals take advantage of the situation, it would be a disaster.
Watching the demon army attacking like mad dogs below the city walls, I_Love_Black_Stockings gritted her teeth.
“If it comes to a critical moment, don’t hesitate to use all our trump cards! I believe the Islander will reward us handsomely!”
Ji Chen stood on a corner tower on the southeast cliff, taking in the entire battlefield on the south beach.
Under the increasingly intense demon onslaught, he also realized Balzarna’s current intentions.
Simply put, he was getting desperate.
Originally, Balzarna wanted to take advantage of the Northern Continent countries’ incomplete war mobilization, swiftly clear out the Orderly forces in the Central Ocean, and then launch a demonic-style Normandy landing to open up the Northern Continent battlefield.
However, just as the blitzkrieg began, it was firmly blocked by the Crown of the Ocean in the central ocean, unable to advance at all for a full seven days.
Seeing time gradually passing by, with the blitzkrieg showing signs of turning into a stalemate, it was normal for him to get anxious.
And what he needed to do now was to keep Balzarna anxious, to continuously expose his hidden trump cards and methods in his anxiety.
Ji Chen and Balzarna were like two card players constantly playing cards to test each other, whoever couldn’t hold back and played their trump card first would fall into a disadvantage.
And now, Barzana obviously had this tendency.
Not only did he want to launch a frontal attack to break through the city walls from the beginning, but he also sent many demons intending to launch attacks from the side and even from the rear.
But Ji Chen had long anticipated and prepared for this, setting up dense reconnaissance posts, scout points, and stationed troops to repel them in time.
Lowering the bottom line meant that Barzana became more desperate, and it also meant that the battle entered the most fierce stage.
The stubborn resistance erupted by the Crown of the Ocean far exceeded Balzarna’s imagination. The city walls, which were only tens of meters high, now resembled mountains. No matter how he urged the demon army to attack, they couldn’t gain an inch of ground.
The city walls had been prepared for months, with enough cannonballs and arrows to fight several large battles, all of which were thrown at the demons as if they were worthless. Hundreds of demon heroes were firmly blocked by the heroes of the Crown of the Ocean, the Dragon Island dragons, and the dragon whales, all positioned on the same vertical plane as the city walls.
Balzarna did not release the last remaining alchemical modified human. Without knowing how Ji Chen had restored Lainekel’s consciousness, releasing it would only mean giving the opponent more strength.
With Benbo as the core, a thousand-strong team composed entirely of Ocean Blood Dragons swept across the sea surface like a rolling plow.
The scorching dragon breath melted an entire path, littered with roasted chunks of meat and bones that seemed to have been stewed for hours.
