Global Lords: Hundredfold Increments Starting With the Undead-Chapter 1114 - 720, Attack

Chapter 1114: Chapter 720, Attack

“Is there any danger?” Fang Hao asked.

The Air Force attacking the Navy appeared to have the upper hand.

But after all, they were facing an entire race; how could there be such a significant vulnerability?

The other side hesitated before responding, “Today, Leader Haber has organized an attack on the Sea Tribe’s ‘Deep Reef Outpost.’ It confirmed the enemy lacks effective anti-air defenses, so for now, it’s relatively safe.”

Uh…

They had already attacked a stronghold.

It seemed the Sea Tribe truly lacked defensive measures against aerial attacks.

That made sense, considering most species resided on land.

How many were like the Dragon Clan, primarily focused on Flight?

As long as they didn’t provoke the Dragon Clan, other species really had no good way to deal with the Sea Tribe.

“Just be careful, falling isn’t a joking matter,” Fang Hao still warned.

If Fang Hao deployed troops, there would be Bone Dragons and Winged Dragons accompanying them.

If someone fell, they could still be rescued.

If Bai Xuan and the others fell or plummeted, it really wouldn’t be a joke.

“No worries, I’m prepared with a ‘Flexible Parachute.’ It’s all sea below, so falling won’t matter if rescue is timely,” Bai Xuan sent another message.

“Flexible Parachute”

“Category: Parachute”

(Description: Invented by humans longing for the sky, a safeguard for themselves.)

Damn!

Where did she get that from?

“Did you invent it?”

“No, I got it from the World Channel before we left, not sure who invented it or if it’s reliable, just in case!” Bai Xuan replied.

Women are often more meticulous in their thoughts.

She had thought of all these beforehand.

Unlike Fang Hao’s side, who first thought of using aerial troops to catch them.

“Sure, do you need anything else?” Fang Hao leaned back on his White Bone Throne and continued asking.

Bai Xuan answered, “Leader Haber wants you to send over some ammunition. We’ll bombard the central area of Giant Claw Island early tomorrow morning.”

“Okay, I’ll send it to you now,” Fang Hao did not refuse.

This battle was Lyss City’s fight, and Bai Xuan and the others acted more like messengers or communications officers.

Connecting each vessel together allowed for clear and quick passing of orders.

This was much more convenient and clear than using semaphore.

“Okay!” Bai Xuan replied.

Then, Fang Hao traded them a large amount of cannonballs and bow arrows.

If this battle were won.

It would be hugely beneficial for Lyss City and even Rebecca.

It could fully stabilize her position in the Senate.

Rather than constantly feeling the threat of being sidelined.

After the transaction was completed, Fang Hao didn’t forget to instruct, “Tell Haber to be careful; if things go south, just fire a couple of shots and come back.”

“Understood!” Bai Xuan replied.

After the chat.

Fang Hao continued browsing the channel, waiting for dinner.

…

The next day, early morning.

Standing on the deck of the Aerial Ship, one could see the alluring morning sun amidst the clouds, casting a reddish glow.

After several days of travel, they were finally approaching the airspace above ‘Giant Claw Island’.

Looking down, one could clearly see the island shaped like a crab’s claw.

Straw Hat Nautical Group, Alliance channel.

“Damn, it’s freezing, I need to pee.”

“Pee downwards, don’t hesitate.”

“The island below is Giant Claw Island, really looks like a crab’s claw.”

“People in this era aren’t very cultured, usually naming things based on their shapes.”

“I wonder if the Sea Tribe has made any preparations.”

“That negotiating Sea Tribe chieftain was still in Federation Sea Territory before, right? Our Aerial Ship is definitely faster.”

“That’s hard to say; if the message gets back, the nearby islands will surely reinforce.”

“So, we might get ambushed?”

“Hard to tell; the Sea Tribe’s attacks surely can’t reach the height of the Aerial Ships.”

“Damn, the wind direction is wrong, blowing right in my face.”

The rapid scrolling of messages.

It helped relax the transmigrators a bit before the battle.

…

Giant Claw Island port.

A Sea Tribe hero, clad in heavy armor, watched the approaching airships with a cold gaze.

The Island Master, Hirosh, on his way back.

He had been assigned to defend Giant Claw Island.

The orders from the Sea Tribe were simple.

Hold Giant Claw Island and resist the Aerial Ships.

The Federation’s Aerial Ships were surely limited in number, and the human Federation wasn’t necessarily adept at this kind of air combat.

If they could hold Giant Claw Island long enough, they could gather an army and launch an attack on the human Federation.

By then, all losses would be blamed on the human Federation.

Yet, he thought the Sea Tribe’s orders were too conservative.

Or maybe they thought the Federation was confident enough to attack.

But in his view, it was just a foolish attempt.

“Humph! A bunch of fools, thinking they have the upper hand in the air? I can’t deal with you?”

The Sea Tribe hero smirked, exposing his sharp teeth.

‘Sssssh!’

The sound of crawling arose as several merfolk Serpent Guards rushed over.

They saluted and said, “Leader, everything is prepared.”

The Sea Tribe leader nodded, “No rush, have everyone concealed well until they enter range, in case we scare off these fat fish; I want to trap them all, not let a single one escape.”

The Serpent Guards nodded, “Yes, we’ll get right on it.”

The leader nodded.

The Serpent Guards’ figures receded and dove directly into the sea.

…

On the middle Aerial Ship.

Haber and Bai Xuan stood on the deck, looking downward.

The soldiers behind them, all armored and loading cannonballs, made their final preparations.

“How much longer until we reach above Giant Claw Island?” Haber asked.

Giant Claw Island seemed already close at hand.

But there was still a distance to cover.

Even if they entered the island’s airspace, they could only bombard the central area.

Though it was called an island, it was not small in size.

Bai Xuan checked the map, “About two more hours.”

“Okay, pass the word along, start with attacking the port…”

Haber was cut off mid-sentence as a ‘woo-woo’ horn sound suddenly came from a nearby Aerial Ship.

It was a signal they were under attack.

Everyone paused for a moment.

The Sea Tribe had been unable to deal with the Aerial Ships all along.

How could they possibly be attacked now?

Swoosh swoosh swoosh!

Before Haber and the others could ask any questions, the sound of something cutting through the air had already resounded from below.

People looked down and saw the sea surface beginning to boil and churn.

From high above, one could hear the crackling and popping sounds.

Countless dense shadows emerged from under the water.

Like the howling anti-aircraft crossbow bolts, they shot straight toward the fleet of Aerial Ships.

Haber and Bai Xuan were both startled.

What on earth could shoot up from beneath the water so high, even arrows couldn’t reach this altitude.

Ding!

A sound of something penetrating the wooden board rang out.

A fish, shaped like a ribbon and with four fins on each side, was stuck on the wall of the steerage room.

A fish?

What was happening?

[Yan Needle Ray (Tier 3)].

Swoosh swoosh swoosh~!

Dense swarms of flying fish emerged from the boiling water below.

Flapping their wings and swinging their tails, they fearlessly surged into the sky,

dinging and clanging into the sides of the ships.

“Order everyone to counterattack, protect the airbags,” Haber commanded.

“Yes!” The attendant received the order and began directing everyone to counterattack.

Bai Xuan also started relaying orders through the Alliance channel.

Each ship began to react quickly.

The cannons, crossbow bolts, and firearms began to target the area below.

And the airbag protection was nothing more than a few wooden boards protecting the hot air balloon overhead.

But soon, everyone was somewhat reassured, these Tier 3 flying fish couldn’t pierce the airbags overhead.

The outer leather was tougher than it looked.

The airbags were covered in the bodies of flying fish, but there were no burst or leaking incidents.

Just as everyone was starting to feel slightly relieved,

the sound of horns blared once again.

This time, gray hawk-like creatures swarmed in from all directions toward the Aerial Ships.

[Sea Eagle (Tier 5)].

So, the Sea Tribe also had air units.

Bang bang bang!

Boom boom boom!

No need for Haber to command, nor was there time to check commands relayed through the channel.

On both sides of the deck, everyone picked up their weapons, attacking the Sea Eagles swarming from all around.

Continuously, people were yanked off the planks and torn into the air, thrown downward.

Yet more Sea Eagles’ bodies hung on the sides of the ships, their blood staining the hull.

And many more Sea Eagles.

Their targets were not the humans, but the Aerial Ships’ airbags and side wings.

Everyone wore grave expressions, as if facing a formidable enemy.

If they were to fall!

Even if they were lucky enough not to die, they would be captured and killed by the Sea Tribe.

“Commander Haber, what should we do next?” Bai Xuan, stabbing a Sea Eagle in the neck with her sword, asked sharply.

Haber grimaced and continued, “Advance, reach the port’s airspace, and bomb the port.”

Bai Xuan frowned.

Still fighting?

But she still opened the Book of Lords and issued a direct order, “Everyone enter the airspace above the port, bombard it.”

“Received!”

“Recei…”

“1.”

The Aerial Ships began to advance.

The sides of the ships, covered in the bodies of humans, flying fish, and Sea Eagles, resembled a moving mountain of corpses as they moved closer to the airspace above the port.

Below, the Sea Tribe’s commander, smiling widely, suddenly changed his expression.

The Federation’s people were still approaching; they were insane.

Changing his thoughts, he realized their intent.

He shouted loudly, “Get away from here, quick…”

Boom boom boom!!

All the Aerial Ships spit out flames.

The barrage of cannonballs directly smashed into the Sea Tribe’s port.

Thunderous booms!

The entire land trembled, with the sturdy city turning into piles of rubble under the barrage.

The Sea Tribe, unable to evade in time, lay among the debris, moaning in agony.

After the bombardment,

the fishman commander emerged from under the water and looked up.

The Federation’s Aerial Ships began a difficult retreat eastward.

…

Lyss City.

City Lord’s Hall.

Rebecca sat at the head of the long table on the right, with the city officials beside her.

Opposite her sat Dordy and several important members of the council.

It wasn’t for any other reason; they were all waiting for news.

The latest news from the front.

“Rebecca, according to the plan given by Haber, there should be results by now, right?” Dordy spoke.

He didn’t consider Rebecca a competent City Lord.

But undeniably, during this period, she had achieved some feats that others previously couldn’t.

She was a daring and lucky person.

Rebecca picked up the teacup and slowly sipped, “Don’t worry, we should have news very soon.”

“I hope you bring back good news, otherwise no one in the Senate can shield you,” Dordy said bluntly.

“I’ve always relied on myself, when did I need your protection?”

Dordy didn’t say anymore, and the accompanying council members refrained from inserting any remarks.

After all, everything depended on the outcome.

The Aerial Ships had penetrated the core of Giant Claw Island, even if they fired just one round showing the Sea Tribe that the Federation had the power to strike, it would mean Rebecca was a meritorious figure in the Federation.

If the mission failed halfway, they wouldn’t need to mock her, the entire council’s scorn would drown her.

Everyone silently waited.

Time also slowly passed by.

At that moment, a maid hastened in and whispered something in Rebecca’s ear.

Rebecca listened, maintaining a smile on her face, but a flicker of anxiety passed through her eyes.

Even if the change in Rebecca’s expression was minute, it couldn’t escape the discerning eyes of Dordy.

After the maid left.

Dordy’s expression turned stern as he asked, “How did it go?”
