Extraordinary Voyage-Chapter 573 - 508: The Old Turtle’s Backup Plan
Swish...
As a breach opened in the defensive line, the vast underwater battlefield spanning tens of kilometers instantly boiled over. Massive figures, wrapped in furious torrents, swiftly charged towards the huge gap left by the disappearance near Left No.1 Island.
Moo——
Whine——
All because of a powerful Ocean Treasure, the tide of the battle transformed abruptly, shattering the barely maintained equilibrium.
Extraordinary Power, beyond conventional means, is always the greatest uncertainty on the battlefield, something every commander both deeply despises and... desperately yearns for.
Yet, this level of Ocean Treasure is not something the currently impoverished "Tempest Church" possesses, nor can it be compensated overnight.
The stolen three hundred years is a permanent pain in Hipponeo's heart!
"Quickly seal the breach."
Without caring for the losses of elite stationed personnel on the island, Fisher on the main island promptly issued an order.
The defending forces on the less pressured wings of the island chain, upon hearing the command, jumped into the sea, dragging long streaks of white behind them as they rushed towards the breach.
Meanwhile.
Crackle!
Several Tier 3 "Storm Giant Spirits" rode the storm to the breach overhead, jointly unleashing powerful lightning to electrify the breach with a high-voltage grid.
A choir of Sea Elves sang in beautiful voices, enough to soothe the soul, causing several naturally low-intelligent Sea Monsters to circle the area before the breach but unable to pass through.
They even blocked the path for subsequent Sea Monsters with their massive bodies.
Just before this breach, the battle between the two sides reignited, with the level of ferocity instantly escalating.
The "Tempest Church" responded timely, with only a pack of approximately thirty ready and waiting Bobbit Worms passing through the breach. Few other types of Sea Monsters managed to slip through amidst the chaos.
Yet, the Church also had to divert some forces for pursuit.
For them, defense amounts to either a perfect score or zero; even allowing just one Sea Monster to escape could pose a deadly threat to Kraken.
At this moment, on Left No.3 Island.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!...
The fog enshrouding the area dissipated completely under the fierce explosive shockwaves, allowing the [Red-haired Witch] controlled by Olivia to fire again.
Similarly, they focused on firing at the Sea Monsters congregated by the breach. After adjusting the Light Beam Cannon's power, nearly every attack took down two Sea Monsters, proving invaluable for the Church in timely sealing the breach.
In reality, Left No.3 Island at this moment was almost at the center whirlpool of the battlefield. The major focus of combat, the "breach," was already within reach.
However.
After merely four more shots, killing eight large species, the evaporated seawater by the [Calamity Divine Authority] already pre-condensed into a vast fog covering the entire sea area.
On the fifth shot, the Light Beam Cannon was significantly weakened by the intensely thick fog, its final trajectory unknown due to refraction.
Only then did Aiven and Olivia, stationed on the front line, have a chance to exhale deeply, alleviating the panic from facing the catastrophe head-on just moments ago.
Only heaven knows when the lightning struck, we were ankle-deep in the swamp of Shadows, ready to abandon the position and run for our lives. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
The position stabilized for now, Aiven watched as the wave of Sea Monsters advanced toward Kraken:
"Hesi, protect yourself, I'm heading back to assist."
Whoosh——
The words barely lingered in the air as Aiven transformed into a bolt of lightning, closely following a team of intercepting Storm Giant Spirits heading towards the rear of the island chain.
Leaving behind Kaka, Pipi, and all toy soldiers to safeguard Olivia, ensuring her safety regardless of any unforeseen events.
"Aiven, be careful!"
After a word of caution, Olivia gently waved, changing into ladies' military attire better suited for action.
In her hands appeared the [Extraordinary Armament: Electromagnetic Cannon 1.0], newly repaired by Aiven just days ago.
In the thick fog, while the [Red-haired Witch] was temporarily sealed, flocks of Seagulls uniformly distributed within the fog served as the eyes for the Electromagnetic Cannon.
The fog may attenuate light beams, but it stands no chance against the enchanted aluminum bullets accelerated by electromagnetism.
To a Wizard, there isn't the most invincible weapon, only the most suitable weapon.
Hum!
The steel cannon frame grounded, silver-white cannon body lit up with blue runes, the Electromagnetic Cannon emitted a subtle humming sound, strong currents streamed through the built-in coils of the barrel.
Though "Gem Shell" hadn't been able to produce the beryl series of gemstones yet, the traded "Aquamarine" already revitalized the almost scrapped electromagnetic cannon from the Battle of Benin.
As long as Sea Monsters dare surface, they can't evade the death notice delivered by the enchanted aluminum bullets.
...
Screech——
The Bobbit Worms with cylindrical bodies, composed of at least 873 segments, continuously spin like drills even during normal swimming, causing the seawater to emit shrill sounds as it's rapidly sliced.
Over thirty Bobbit Worms simultaneously darted underwater, creating a spectacular sight akin to over thirty horizontal water tornadoes.
At this moment, their speed exceeded 120 kilometers per hour; reaching the southern location of the island chain where the "King of Sea Monsters" resided required just a few minutes.
This stretch of distance marked the last buffer zone and the final chance for the intercepting forces!
