Chapter 161: Driving the tiger away from the mountain
The waves rose and fell repeatedly on the sea. At this time, nearly a hundred ships were moving forward. If you didn't notice the various artillery devices on the ship, most ordinary merchant ships would think they were the tycoons of the same industry.
But unfortunately, this is the safest Thousand Rock Army unit within the range of Liyue's immortal world, because they are well-equipped, have sufficient supplies, are proficient in healing, fight fiercely, and use shields when in doubt. They are led by the Son of the Rock God, the most hardworking (most dedicated) and contributor in the entire Liyue logistics department. They can be said to be the strongest group in the long-term three-line combat.
Ye Li lay leisurely on the deck, looking back from time to time with his mental power, calculating the distance between himself and the severely damaged Four-Party Alliance.
"We are almost at the Inazuma Sea area. Most of the monsters have almost recovered from their injuries. They are really that patient."
Ye Li complained in his heart, but he was able to keep his composure. After all, the opponent didn't take any action, and was ambushed by his own traps and even beaten openly for more than a dozen times. It was impossible for him not to have some psychological trauma.
……
"Are you sure this method will work? Do you know how serious the consequences will be? It is possible that all our efforts will be wasted, and we won't even have a chance to report it."
"Please rest assured, I have sent the fastest flying monster in your team back to report. Even if we fail, we still have a chance to break the time it takes for the Liyue troops to reach Inazuma. I'm sure you all don't want to see the Morax Alliance Zone gain another ally after cooperating with Xumi."
The other three demons were silent for a moment, and the pink-haired girl took a deep breath and said:
"Okay, let's do as you say. I will lead a team to attract the enemy's firepower, and you will also launch a full-scale surprise attack on the hundreds of thousands of monsters that have been put together to scare us these few days. If you are defeated, I will not care whether you live or die."
"Thank you very much." The young demon thanked with a smile.
A few minutes later, the other three demon gods looked at the leader who had circled to the front and was ready to attack the pink-haired girl. A hint of success flashed in their eyes, and the burly demon god sneered:
"As expected of a subordinate of the nightmare demon, his IQ is worrying after being bewitched by the dream."
"Don't act rashly now. She is the strongest among all of us. Wait until the other party collides with that guy and wait for her to be injured or killed to consume the guy's physical strength. Only when the troops are depleted can we take action. This is the best way to maximize the benefits."
"I advise you to take it easy. The other party can't be a fool."
The taciturn three-pronged demon spoke up to remind them, but the two demons, who were already very excited, did not listen. They just kept a little bit of caution to prevent a sneak attack from the guy who rarely spoke.
Looking at the team that was so distrustful and yet was trying to forcibly piece together, the Three-forked Demon couldn't help but sigh that his younger brother was still obedient. It was a pity that he was affected by this demon war and died, while one of the murderers was eating and drinking happily in front of him, which made him clench his fists.
The pink-haired girl, with tens of thousands of high-level monsters under her command, had a cold flash in her eyes, and the green stone in her hand shone brightly, as if she knew something.
On the other side, Ye Li, sensing a hint of murderous intent, looked behind him. At the same time, he used his mental power to detect that the pink-haired girl was circling the side of the seabed towards the front of their ship, apparently wanting to attack from both sides.
Looking at this scene, Ye Li's mouth corners slightly raised, a smile appeared on his face, and then he took out the token connecting the entire fleet from the token, activated it and said:
"Attention all ships and units, the rats behind have appeared, be prepared for battle, I repeat, this is not a drill."
Ye Li gave the order very formally, and this method of contacting the entire fleet made the expressions of all the Qianyan soldiers immediately become serious. They all began to walk back and forth, preparing various combat equipment.
The Qianyan Army moved quickly, and in less than ten minutes they were fully armed. Artillery mounts and invisible flying machines took off into the air, and the images of the sky connected by the projection talisman paper were also displayed on the projection screens in each ship, for the Qianyan Army coaches on the ship to use for command.
This battle is not a delaying war like before, but a real life-and-death battle. They must respond with all their strength, otherwise they will not even have the chance to survive and go home to see their families.
……
On Xumi, somewhere in a sealed location surrounded by a golden rune formation and eight huge rock pillars, five demons were gathered together. A troublesome demon among them was standing in front of a table covered with small square blocks, pointing and talking, with a tone of voice that said, "Come down so I can beat you."
"Oh, I told you to play nine and then draw a card, so you can win, but you didn't listen. Now you lose."
At this time, the hippopotamus demon holding the mahjong had a very unhappy face. He was very annoyed by the guy next to him who pretended to know everything.
"Can you please stop being so annoying? You always cheat at cards. If we weren't so weak that we could beat even mortals, you would have been killed by us long ago."
"That was all unexpected. Think about it. Now we have such a good sealed environment. We can grow crops and raise fish when we have nothing to do. After a long time, we will have no shortage of food and drink. Our lives will be more leisurely than when we were under the leadership of a leader. We don't have to worry about the war between demons and gods."
"Damn it, you've accepted your fate after just a few days. But it's really fun to fight this Di Yuan Qiong Yu. I'm afraid we're going to fall."
"Don't think too much. Our purpose has been exposed anyway. We are thankful that we are treated so well after being captured. Do you want to be completely taken away like the rumors say, leaving nothing behind?"
After hearing what the Hippo Demon said, one of the demons shook his head. He couldn't help but recall the scene where his power was completely drained away and he was thrown into this place. He couldn't help but shudder.
At this moment, No. 4 Ye Li, who was observing the seal below, listened to the conversation between the five demon gods below. He had an expressionless face with a hint of helplessness, and looked sideways at the Great Compassion Tree King next to him:
"Are you sure your plan will work? I think they are just a bunch of people who are taking advantage of the situation."
"Don't be impatient. Once they get used to this kind of life, they can provide us with the final benefit. Besides, the thing you gave is also very interesting. However, it requires four people. If there is a chance, I will ask Chi Wang to fight with that person."
No. 4 Ye Li accurately captured the person mentioned by the Great Compassionate Tree King, but did not ask any questions and just nodded regarding this insignificant card-playing agreement.
……
The sea was surging, dark clouds were spreading, and thunder was flashing.
The pink-haired girl was surrounded by lightning, and her long pink hair was swung out like a whip. The power of thunder continued to hit the shield in the area where Ye left.
The Qianyan Army in the sea below fired their guns and artillery, and the army formation in the front pierced through the upper-level monsters that rushed over one after another like a sharp sword.
Two flying machines in the sky were shot down, but the defensive talismans and wind-controlling talismans carried by their pilots accurately allowed them to enter the range of the protective shield, except for one unlucky guy who almost died. He was thrown back to the ship by an old soldier and took medicine for treatment.
The battlefield was extremely dangerous, with both the monsters and the Thousand Rocks Army fighting desperately.
The elemental artillery fire affected the surging sea surface, the reaction force continued to flash, the monsters fell into the sea one after another, and there were also soldiers in Qianyan’s army who were seriously injured and dragged back. The battle situation was extremely tense and tragic.
After fighting for half an hour, the Qianyan Army had lost 1/10 of its strength. The injured had been dragged back to the ship for treatment, while some of the Qianyan Army had already ended their journey and completed their duties on the battlefield.
The monsters, which had been beaten to a handful, began to retreat, and the pink-haired girl took the opportunity to run away.
The pink-haired girl flew very far away. Ye Li narrowed his eyes and chased after her. When they were at a certain distance, he used a huge rock pillar to stop her.
"You want to leave, have you asked me?"
Ye Li's expression was gloomy. Although the cost of this battle was not great, the spread of lightning caused by the opponent in the water forced him to open his shield to protect the safety of the Qianyan Army below.
Just when the battle situation eased, a large wave of monsters rushed out from the side behind nearly a hundred ships. Their number completely surpassed that of the Thousand Rocks Army. Although their strength was only between lower and middle-level monsters, their number was really too large.
Ye Li looked at the pink-haired girl with a cold gaze, and the elemental power in his body exploded. Countless rock spears as long as ten meters were condensed across a long distance and fell like raindrops on the group of monsters rushing out, relieving the pressure on the Thousand Rocks Army over there.
Seeing Ye Li expending so much energy just to protect the mortals under his command, the three demons hiding in the dark had fierce gleams in their eyes. They rushed out immediately when someone's breath dropped to a certain level, and the trap originally set here had also been activated.
