Chapter 988: Chapter 988: Eastern Martial Arts VS Western Technology
The battle between both sides then began.
The Demon Shield Bureau’s fleet, fierce and strong, charged towards the Sky Net fleet without a moment’s hesitation upon arrival.
The long arrows of the Evil Dragon Bow, previously designed by Xiao Zheng, were exhausted, leaving the Demon Shield Bureau without ranged attack methods. To defeat Sky Net, they could only engage in close-quarters combat and collision of large ships.
Facing the aggressive Demon Shield Bureau, Sky Net remained unafraid. Leaders like Tong Hu and Lin Xi commanded large ships to confront them.
The two sides collided instantly.
Boom!
The massive Sky Net mothership charged into a medium-sized ship of the Demon Shield Bureau, its front equipped with a drill made of high-strength alloy, hard and sharp. The alloy drill tore the Demon Shield Bureau’s ship in half as it rammed into it.
The sea shook violently, causing the Demon Shield Bureau’s ship to slowly sink, stirring up intense vibrations on the surface.
However, the biochemical soldiers on that ship remained unfazed. Led by an A-level expert, they leapt a few meters high, landing on the deck of the Sky Net mothership.
The biochemical soldiers then roared towards the Sky Net Martial Arts Warriors.
Simultaneously, several other large ships of the Demon Shield Bureau rushed in, completely encircling the Sky Net mothership in a tight siege.
Numerous biochemical soldiers from the Demon Shield Bureau jumped onto the Sky Net mothership, roaring as they fought to kill all Sky Net Martial Arts Warriors on board and seize control of the ship.
The Demon Shield Bureau’s biochemical soldiers had a numerical advantage, flocking like ants, occupying almost every corner of the Sky Net mothership.
The ship was commanded by Tong Hu, with five thousand men under him, many of whom were elites. Roaring in defiance, he charged at the forefront, leading the Sky Net Martial Arts Warriors against the Demon Shield Bureau’s biochemical soldiers.
This was a true tough battle!
No strategies were involved, only the clash of blades and swords, the blaze of blood and fire. Only the strongest will could prevail in this brutal battlefield.
Blood sprayed, roars pierced through the sky, limbs and remains flew, distressing cries echoed non-stop, thick smoke spread, the bloody scent permeated the sea, and the flowing blood dyed the ocean red.
The most brutal battle unfolded here!
And this was only a glimpse of the battlefield.
Sky Net and Demon Shield Bureau’s ships collided continuously. Some Sky Net ships sank the Demon Shield Bureau’s ships, and vice versa, but this didn’t affect the war. Warriors from both sides, at least Soldier King Level, moved as if flying, able to leap onto enemy ships even if theirs sank.
Thus, every part of the battlefield fell into a chaotic mêlée, locked in close combat.
Death occurred every moment, even the highest-skilled martial artists couldn’t escape this fate, sometimes besieged by many, unable to fight back, forced to fall.
Xiao Zheng stood on high ground, overlooking the entire battlefield. Activating his penetrating vision, he could clearly see every scene, and he couldn’t help but sigh lightly.
Too tragic!
Lives were being lost, some of whom Xiao Zheng had spoken with or drank with, now falling one by one in battle against the Demon Shield Bureau.
However, overall, despite the numerical advantage of the Demon Shield Bureau’s biochemical soldiers, the Sky Net Martial Arts Warriors were much more adept and skilled. In this chaotic battle, the Sky Net Warriors undoubtedly held the upper hand.
Almost every sacrifice by the Sky Net warriors exchanged for five or ten enemy lives.
This battle, from dusk, continued until dawn, relentless through day and night.
The heavy stench of blood almost enveloped the entire sea. Corpses fell from the ships, floating on the sea, nearly filling it completely.
As terrifying as Hell!
Even some carnivorous fish in the ocean, excited by the smell, rushed over, tearing large chunks of flesh from the corpses, many reduced to mere skeletons.
Now, the situation seemed to be turning disadvantageous!
The Demon Shield Bureau’s biochemical soldiers were simply too numerous, several times more than Sky Net’s.
Even though the Sky Net Martial Arts Warriors were powerful, in this scenario, they were still falling into disadvantage.
Titan couldn’t help but say to Xiao Zheng, "Mr. Xiao, we still have Dugu Baitian’s five thousand men, many of whom are elites. They’ve yet to be deployed; perhaps we should send them into battle?"
The Sky Net warriors were struggling to hold on.
Xiao Zheng shook his head and said, "It’s not time to use them yet."
His face was expressionless, revealing no joy or anger, as cold and hard as steel.
Titan sighed deeply, and reluctantly complied, yet he couldn’t calm himself seeing the brutal scenes on the distant sea battlefield.
Suddenly, from the camp’s rear came the sound of shouting.
A scout, out of breath, ran over to Xiao Zheng and said, "King, it’s not good. Just now, a very formidable person from the Demon Shield Bureau led a thousand men and attacked from the flank of our camp. The team responsible for rear defense couldn’t hold them off at all, and they broke through our lines. Though they only have a thousand men, each one is terrifying like monsters."
"What?"
Long Qie, Titan, and Gongsun Wuliang all appeared shocked.
Gongsun Wuliang hurriedly took up a telescope to look towards the flank. He then clearly saw a horde-like team charging downhill from a mountain pass.
The person leading them was three meters tall, presumably a mutated biochemical soldier. His upper body was bare, covered in blood-red veining. The intertwining veins gave a sinister and terrifying impression that sent shivers down one’s spine.
The other biochemical soldiers from the Demon Shield Bureau behind this leader were in similar condition.
"Is this..." Gongsun Wuliang’s eyes widened in shock. After a gasp, he uttered four words.
"Demon Blood Warriors!"
Having said these words, it seemed he expended all his energy, almost falling to the ground. His eyes were filled with terror, and his body trembled slightly.
