Chapter 74: Chapter 74: Attack at Dawn Chapter 74: Chapter 74: Attack at Dawn In the dead of night, Fang Jie began to get busy.
The chanical Flying Eagle, carrying a few dark shadows, quietly headed towards Mist Island.
After previous observations, Fang Jie had gained a substantial understanding of the situation on the other side.
Although the island wasn’t very large, the Fishn still wouldn’t venture to the center of the island.
It was unknown whether it was because they only needed the edge or if the Fishn were sowhat averse to the statue in the middle.
In any case, the Fishn generally stayed on the edges of the island, and especially at night, only a few would keep watch at the periphery.
These Fishn were creatures that were active at night.
Before dawn, the Fishn would return in large numbers to rest at the island’s edge.
So would go ashore, but most would just stay in the water.
The chanical Flying Eagle gently landed in the middle of the island and then set down those dark shadows.
Once the shadows hit the ground, they remained still.
Upon closer inspection, these objects were either Skeletons or Zombies.
Indeed, in such confined spaces, Zombies were more useful than Skeletons.
For these Zombies, Fang Jie had previously returned to his own territory and upgraded the grave to a level 5, the maximum level.
Then, a batch of level 5 Iron Armor Zombies were created and, along with the Skeleton Generals, were sent to Mist Island, temporarily staying there without making a sound.
The chanical Flying Eagle was not rely for transporting goods; it was a type of combat troop.
Fang Jie previously had the chanical Flying Eagle capture so Fishn for research, so he understood them well.
Fishn had strong hearing and perception abilities in water, and their vision was more suited to murky waters.
On land, the vision of Fishn was far inferior to that of humans.
Their hearing and perception abilities would also beco very weak, otherwise Fang Jie wouldn’t have used this thod.
All night, the chanical Flying Eagle would co and go, continuously transporting a large force to Mist Island.
Gradually, the number of Black Iron-level troops increased, and eventually, Fang Jie even sent over so Apprentice Level Skull Soldiers and Skeleton Shooters.
There was also a batch of bronze-level Skeleton Generals, which essentially ant there should be no issues.
If it wasn’t for the fact that the White Bone War Elephants and Skeleton Cavalry were unsuitable for that terrain, Fang Jie would have found a way to get them there too.
Of course, the White Bone War Elephants were too heavy and couldn’t be flown over by the chanical Flying Eagle.
As the night slowly passed and dawn approached, the Fishn, who had been active all night, returned to Mist Island with the tide.
Fang Jie then stopped sending more troops, afraid of being discovered.
The Undead Creatures would remain undetected as long as they stayed still unless the Fishn approached.
The Fishn reached the shore and lay down to sleep; so lay nearby in the water.
Such environntal changes were nothing to the Fishn, as they were amphibious creatures by nature.
When dawn arrived, most of the Fishn had fallen deep into slumber.
“Good, kill,” Fang Jie gave the signal to attack.
The three low-level Heroes sent over directly commanded the troops to attack.
For this battle, Fang Jie brought Fang Hao back, and with Fang Hao’s guidelines, the Undead’s combat power was even stronger.
“Go all out and start sending troops across,” Fang Jie ordered, instructing the chanical Flying Eagle to continue transporting troops.
This ti there was no need for caution—troops were sent with great montum and even greater speed.
Unfortunately, most of the Fishn were underwater, where chanical Flying Eagles were useless against creatures in the sea.
The Fishn’s sensory abilities on shore were rather poor, but even they noticed sothing was amiss with all the commotion.
As they each hazily opened their eyes, what they saw were weapons pointed straight at them.
So Fishn didn’t even get the chance to open their eyes before they were dealt with.
White Bone Arrows flew from a distance, striking the Fishn as if they were re targets, one after another.
Blood flowed out, seeping into the ocean at the beach’s edge.
The scent of blood imdiately alerted all the Fishn in the vicinity.
Their ancestral ho was under attack—how could the Fishn not be furious?
So the Fishn began shouting indistinct words in a flurry, “wuli bar la,” as they squeezed toward the coast.
In the water, the Skeletons were no match for the Fishn, but on land, the situation was completely reversed.
The scales on the Fishn’s bodies offered so defense ability but were not comprehensive, and they lacked the strength of the Skeleton Zombies, particularly the Iron Armor Zombies, whose hardness the Fishn simply couldn’t penetrate.
These Fishn, without any powerful backing, carried such primitive weapons.
They wielded coral or various sticks and stones, or else rusted items beyond recognition.
What they used most, however, were bones left by large fish, which had been shaped into weapons after being polished.
Such sharp and hard weapons were very popular among the Fishn.
But compared to the bone weapons carried by the Skeletons, they were far inferior.
Even during the battle, so Fishn threw aside their own weapons and picked up those left behind by the dead Skeletons.
After swinging them a few tis, they found these weapons more handy than those they had been using.
The slaughter began at dawn and continued until the fog gradually dissipated.
Towards the end, even the fog was tinged with a hint of blood.
The fog was useful against other creatures, but not against the Undead.
Unfortunately for the Fishn, they were also unable to see through the fog to the scene inside.
When the fog cleared, the Fishn finally witnessed the horrendous sight.
At the edge of the island, the ground was littered with the corpses of their kin.
Judging by the number, there were already more than five thousand, possibly even more.
The Fishn couldn’t count, but they could see when there were many.
It seed that there weren’t as many surviving Fishn as those who had died.
The Fishn unwillingly eyed the edge of the island, where the small pools were filled with their offspring.
But faced with the death of the other Fishn, these Fishn had no choice but to accept it.
Thus, the Fishn didn’t retreat in the water; instead, they stood off against the Skeletons on the island.
“Kill those little Fishn and see how they react,” Fang Jie frowned.
Without the Fishn coming ashore, he was at a loss for how to chase after them.
Indeed, he was too weak to do anything himself underwater.
The Undead received the command and began the massacre.
Seeing the actions of the Undead, the Fishn beca agitated, yet they still didn’t rush up with the intention of pursuit.
When fighting for territory against rival groups, enemy Fishn would do the sa thing.
In their simple minds, the Fishn had mistaken the Undead for enemies contesting their territory.
In the end, the Fishn made so noise in a hubbub, “gu la gu la,” apparently deliberating sothing, before each of them sank into the sea.
