Online Game: Island War

Chapter 536 Probing Attack from the Sea

Returning to Huanghuang Island, Lei Jiu organized a military and political meeting. The main purpose of the meeting was the possible attack from the Mermaid Empire or its affiliated forces.

Starting from the meeting, Huanghuang Island's military, especially the navy, will be fully prepared for war. The previous strategy of maintaining a balanced development of fish monsters will be cancelled, and will shift to wartime.

To put it in layman's terms, it means to change from sustainably raising troops to investing as much resources as you have, and destroying as many fish monsters as you can. In terms of resource acquisition, all efforts have been focused on military supplies.

More than 40 days after Lei Jiu returned to Huanghuang Island, the elixir of longevity sent an email. The mermaid empire messenger who landed on the island last time came again.

However, this time he did not come alone. He brought an unknown number of ferocious fish-men warriors with him.

According to the elixir of life, the envoy brought not only soldiers this time, but also a look of violence that was obvious to the outside. When he heard that Huanghuang Island finally chose to retreat, his face was quite ugly. If Lei Jiu had not chosen to occupy it directly, Bihai Qingtian Island would not have been able to escape this disaster.

I don’t know if the envoy dares to bring troops to Huanghuang Island.

According to Lei Jiu's guess, the possibility of the other party coming over is not high, because Lei Jiu doesn't think the Mermaid Empire will send holy-level combat forces over at this moment.

And without the saint-level combat power to resist Jiu Ge, even if there are enough troops, the personal safety of the envoy cannot be guaranteed.

Therefore, even if troops finally come to fight with Huanghuang Island, whether the envoy dares to come or not remains to be seen.

Nine days later, traces of enemy troops were found on the west side of Huanghuang Island. The enemies came from the sea and were mainly composed of two types of fish-men warriors, sharks and octopus-men.

By the time Lei Jiu received the report, the enemy was close to within 3,000 kilometers of the west coast of Huanghuang Island, and the number was unknown (it is difficult to count the specific number when they appear in groups in the sea).

After entering a state of combat readiness, Huanghuang Island began to shrink its defenses. In addition to the reconnaissance troops being spread far away, the formal combat sequences were concentrated within 100 kilometers of the island's coastline.

Scouts from all directions were still cruising in their respective areas of responsibility, and the main force of the fish demons stationed in other directions began to move towards the west side of Huanghuang Island.

Lei Jiu will not mobilize all the troops in other directions. He will prevent enemies from attacking directly from the deep sea.

In less than two days, the two sides came to blows.

Naturally, Xiang Liu and the others will lead our own super-level troops, while the turtle demons, swordfish demons and eel demons will be commanded by their respective commanders before the battle.

When the scouts reported that they had found traces of the enemy, Xiang Liu and the three fish demon commanders were quite surprised. They didn't expect that the opponent was so fast. Was he marching here in a hurry?

I don’t know whether to say that the other party’s commander is arrogant and ignorant, or that he is headstrong!

You don't have any detailed information about Huanghuang Island, so you dare to come forward so recklessly?

Food delivered to your door?

The demons discussed it and realized that since the other party's hospitality was hard to refuse, they would be embarrassed not to accept it. They immediately decided to launch a surprise attack while the enemy army was tired.

It's not about taking advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness, but it's about attacking them when they're exhausted.

Xiang Liu led the ultra-level sea monster to find the opponent's ultra-level alone. The remaining fish monsters began to advance in formation, with the turtle monster in front, the eel monster in the back, and the swordfish monster cruising on both wings to attack.

The murlocs in the sea have completely different fighting habits than those on land. At least they don't set up camps. They rest after traveling long distances.

They just kept a relatively complete formation and rested in the sea.

Therefore, it is more convenient for the fish monsters on Huanghuang Island to conduct a raid than to attack the camp on land.

But at the same time, because they will not be scattered throughout the camp in formation, nor will they lie down to sleep, it is very difficult to quickly organize resistance in the face of a surprise attack in a war at sea, and it is difficult to produce the richness of those who attacked the camp on land. Results.

Huanghuang Island did not plan to attack the enemy unprepared, and this is the reason.

Whether it is a fishman or a fish demon, swimming in the water is as easy as walking for a normal person, and does not require much physical strength. However, swimming at full strength, swimming at full speed, attacking, and parrying all require a lot of physical strength to support.

Originally, the combination of sharks and octopus men was far less reasonable than that of Huanghuang Island. Their combat power and coordination in collective operations also had obvious disadvantages. In addition, as tired soldiers, their numbers were not superior. As a result...

The battle was completely one-sided. Soon after the close encounter, the shark and octopus fronts were defeated respectively.

Sharks and octopuses both possess partial human forms.

Sharkmen have protruding mouths, sharp teeth, and obvious shark fins on their limbs. They are not slow, powerful, and have a ferocious temperament.

However, facing the ten-thousand-shell formation formed by the turtle demons, these shark men had no hope of breaking through even if their teeth were broken.

Similarly, the octopus man's tentacles have strong adsorption and twisting power, but for the turtle shell array like a wall, even if there is a gap for them to extend their claws, they cannot break it.

The eel demons hid behind the turtle shell array and discharged electricity in a cool manner, taking special care of the octopus claws protruding from the gaps in the turtle shell array.

Beams of white electric light emerged from the gaps in the turtle shell array, hitting the sharks and octopus men on the opposite side, illuminating the originally dark seabed as brightly as the surface of the sea.

The swordfish monsters on both wings are like silent assassins, arriving silently, cutting open the opponent's body silently, and taking away the enemy's life.

As a combat unit of the same type, the situation faced by the swordfish demons is far better than that of the sword-headed silver shuttle swallows.

Because in the sea, it is impossible for most soldiers to wear helmets and carry armor, otherwise they would not be able to swim at all. It's better not to have armor. Without armor, the swordfish demons don't have to hold their heads close to high-strength metal like the sword-headed silver shuttle swallows.

Regardless of whether they are shark men or octopus men, although they are also armies, their fighting style tends to be independent. When faced with the swordfish demon's group charge, group division, and group killing, they are very weak.

Compared with the three types of sea monsters that Lei Jiu specially trained for water combat, these naturally occurring marine species in the game world have almost no bright spots or advantages when it comes to fighting.

To put it figuratively speaking, Huanghuang Island's underwater troops are a mixed combat force with distinct offense, defense, and response, while the attacking sharks and octopus men are more like scattered soldiers with a large number of people.

Without the peak assault ability, without the mountainous defense ability, relying solely on the bloody courage to charge, in the end, the head will be broken and the blood will flow, but there will be little victory.

In this battle, Huanghuang Island invested 5 million underwater troops and completely wiped out 2 million attacking murlocs from the enemy. Its own casualties were minor, less than three digits. It can be said to be a brilliant victory. It is the first time for a systematic battle evaluation. A two-digit random draw card was given.

After cleaning the battlefield, the messenger from the Mermaid Empire was not found. Apparently, the fishmen from these two tribes were just sent by the other party to stand in front and explore the way.

Lei Jiu didn't care much about this. Since the other party was willing to help train troops and provide food for free, the fish monsters under his command would have to work hard to find food for themselves...
