Chapter 417: Section 205: Best Artillery Performance
Fire the main beam cannon!
Boom!
A thick beam of light shot directly towards the dock.
On the battlefield at the dock, Song Shou and Ear Scratcher, both Golden Level warriors, were entangled in combat.
The beam traveled extrely fast, and even though the two were prepared, they still couldn’t react in ti.
Ear Scratcher had already readied his Defensive Fighting Skills, but by the ti he realized the beam was coming, it was too late.
All he could do was grit his teeth and brace himself.
But the incandescent beam brushed past him, targeting Song Shou instead.
Song Shou couldn’t react in ti either, but he had also prepared his Defensive Fighting Skills and had a special maneuverability Combat Skill.
Combat Skill—Grass Movent!
When the wind blew, the grass moved.
The fighter who created this Combat Skill had a clever mindset.
The principle of Grass Movent was: when a massive attack approached, the user would follow the montum, moving and dodging instinctively. If they couldn’t dodge, the attack landing on the fighter would disperse so of the force.
This action of dodging wasn’t under the fighter’s conscious control, but rather it was a direct reaction to external pressure, like a blade of grass bending under the wind.
The attack unleashed by the main beam cannon pack was imnsely powerful.
For Song Shou, at the mont of the cannon strike, it was like a fierce wind had risen.
The beam targeted him, his mind couldn’t keep up, but the Grass Movent Combat Skill allowed his body to act first, blowing him out of the way.
The next mont, where he had just been standing, was now a deep crater created by the beam cannon.
“The incandescent beam missed!” Hun Tong, the old Fishman Clan Leader, were greatly shaken.
The first two tis, the main beam cannon had hit its target solidly, but the third ti, it returned without success.
“What happened?” Ear Scratcher, shaken by the cannon, was incredulous, “Did it miss?”
He thought he was about to be hit and severely injured.
Instead, the beam cannon shot towards Song Shou.
But Song Shou wasn’t hit.
Ear Scratcher looked towards Song Shou, his wariness apparent.
“The beam targeted him.”
“But at such a short distance, it still missed.”
“Song Shou’s reaction is too fast!”
“He actually managed to dodge?!”
Ear Scratcher squinted, realizing in that mont a truth.
That was: though he seed to have the upper hand, pressing Song Shou hard, Song Shou hadn’t used his full strength.
“This guy still had a trick up his sleeve!”
Song Shou had been conserving his energy.
Out of full strength, he had only used eight or nine parts, always keeping back one or two.
After all, this wasn’t his territory.
However, Song Shou’s face looked grim.
“That cannon just now—was it targeting ?”
“What’s going on?!”
“What does Hun Tong want to do? What has happened on his side?”
Inside the main beam cannon tower.
Hun Tong sighed, “We didn’t hit Song Shou!”
“Before, we could hit Qi You because the first attack by the Golden Shiny had the elent of surprise. I also distracted Qi You’s attention.”
“If we could have a Golden Level cooperate with our firing, the hit rate would significantly improve.”
The old Clan Leader also felt regretful: “His Combat Skill is quite unusual, it seems not to be actively controlled.”
“At such a close range, least of all could I dodge.”
Elsewhere, Yan Ding and the Naga Priest noticed this odd scene.
“How could this flying demon energy ship be firing at their own people?” the Naga Priest wondered.
“Is it because the ship is unstable, so it missed? Or was it previously hit, causing damage to the cannon?” Yan Ding also had his doubts.
“Who should we shoot next? Continue with Song Shou, or switch to Yan Ding?” the old Fishman Clan Leader suppressed his disappointnt but grew even more anxious.
Because he knew such opportunities were too rare!
He rapidly thought.
“Qi You was severely injured and hid in his flagship, not showing up again. He’s a pirate and not the primary target.”
“Song Shou was startled, his Combat Skill seems to let him dodge the beam cannon. Shooting him again, the hit rate would be even lower.”
“Yan Ding… he hasn’t shown any explosive movent Combat Skill so far. But he has also used Defensive Fighting Skills, and most crucially, he can fly!”
“He poses a greater threat to the Golden Shiny.”
“He must be ‘Shadow,’ the leader of the spy agency. If he’s shot down, the adverse impact would be more than just losing a Golden Level.”
“Let’s give him a taste of our power.”
“Even if we don’t kill him, just the firing will let the Priest understand the anomalies on the Golden Shiny. She should be able to connect it to Devil’s Gold Coin, which has already taken effect on Hun Tong!”
Thinking this, the old Fishman Clan Leader directly told Hun Tong, “Shoot Yan Ding!”
Hun Tong nodded, but then shook his head, “It will take so ti before the beam cannon can fire again.”
“The alchemy components inside need to cool down and can’t fire continuously.”
The old Clan Leader paused.
He recalled.
Indeed, each attack from the main beam cannon tower had intervals.
They had never fired consecutively.
Hun Tong said, “We can now perform a Light Net firing.”
“The firing ports for the Light Net are actually on the sides of the ship at the Light Cannon towers, and their alchemy components have cooled down,” Hun Tong sought advice from the old Fishman Clan Leader.
Regardless of how they attacked, there were risks, and Hun Tong couldn’t discern which option was more advantageous.
The old Fishman Clan Leader’s heart pounded.
Faced with this question, he was even more nervous than when he had just battled Hun Tong.
Deep down, he had a strong premonition.
This cannon strike could likely determine the outco of this war!
“Shooting at a Golden Level might miss.”
“Even if we hit, we might not kill!”
“And we can’t fire imdiately now.”
“The beam cannon attack can cover a wide range, but it’s less of a threat to the Golden Level.”
“Regardless of the choice, after this cannon fire, everyone will understand the incident on the Golden Shiny.”
“When the Human Race retaliates, the Golden Level will be the biggest threat to us.”
…
The old Fishman Clan Leader felt his head heating up from all the thinking.
The more he thought, the more confused he beca.
Various thoughts intertwined, becoming increasingly complicated.
In general, shooting at the Golden Level required waiting ti and the accuracy was low. However, once they could severely damage an enemy at the Golden Level, the advantage gained would be significant.
For the beam cannon attack, no waiting was needed and the accuracy was high, but even if they hit the Golden Level, it was difficult to inflict severe damage.
“Quick, make a decision!”
“The longer we delay, the fewer opportunities we have.”
The old Fishman Clan Leader understood the urgency and knew he had to act fast.
During this difficult decision, a person’s character can have a huge impact.
The old Fishman Clan Leader finally ordered in a low voice, “Use the beam attack, Hun Tong.”
Based on his character, he ultimately didn’t gamble, instead choosing the most secure thod of attack.
The disk hovered in mid-air.
Boom.
The central tower of concentrated light shook slightly, emitting a massive stream of light.
The light spread into the remaining four towers, originally there were five, but one had already collapsed due to the attack by the Deep Sea Monster Fish.
Four beams of light shot out and hit the nearest spinning disk, imdiately scattering, scattering and scattering again.
Quickly, a net of light ford in the air.
At the ends of the light net, there were thousands of beams.
The beams hit the bodies of the Human Race warriors, slaughtering countless!
Hun Tong did not forget to “take care” of Song Shou and Yan Ding.
The two Golden Level figures dodged continuously, looking quite embarrassed.
But Hun Tong’s focus this ti was on the Silver Level.
The squad leader of the Bandage Team was caught off guard, hit twice simultaneously, and fell dead on the spot!
“Squad leader, the squad leader has been killed!” cried the mbers of the Bandage Team, their morale imdiately on the verge of collapse.
The Bandage Team leader never expected the beam would target him.
He was caught off guard.
He died.
On the flagship of the Guild, there were also cries of woe.
Guild representatives dead or wounded.
A preliminary estimate revealed that at least three Silver Level Trade Union Representatives were killed!
On the island battlefield, the Pharmacist was hit by a beam in the thigh, his right thigh disappearing under the beam, leaving only his right lower leg standing on the ground.
The Pharmacist fell to the ground, clutching the root of his thigh, emitting a heart-wrenching scream.
The Human Race soldiers generally suffered, and the Patrol Fleet was in complete disarray.
The attack by Golden Shiny was incredibly deceptive.
How could the Human Race expect that their ace would suddenly turn into the enemy’s firepower!
Many, seeing the spinning disk over their heads, didn’t mind it.
They beca sitting ducks.
Hun Tong’s attack achieved an astoundingly high result!
A battle achievent unprecedented.
Watching from above, one could see hundreds of blank spots appear in the Human Race’s lines before and after the attack.
Ironically, Hun Tong’s best battle achievent wasn’t created on the enemy’s side but had instead decimated their own warriors.
This backstabbing was too vicious!
“Why?” many asked, their faces ashen.
“No, this can’t be real!” others cried, holding their heads, unable to accept the reality.
“What the hell is going on, was our Lord controlled by soone?” the powerful ones exclaid in horror, looking up while frowning.
They noticed sothing extrely amiss—
The encounter between the old Clan Leader and Hun Tong had long since ceased any action.
With the previous hit on Golden Shiny, which had started to descend toward the sea surface, distracting everyone, no one rembered this detail.
The eyes of the Naga Priest sparkled with insight; she imdiately guessed the truth, “It must be the Devil’s Gold Coin. Unexpectedly, the biggest payoff ended up in Hun Tong’s hands.”
“This… is truly fantastic!”
This was the greatest surprise for the Fishman side since the start of the war.
The situation dramatically turned from that point.
The scales of victory tilted sharply towards the Fishman side!
Song Shou instinctively retreated, quickly pulling back to the edge of the dock battlefield.
Yan Ding also abandoned his old opponent, the Naga Priest.
Supported by a rich black fog, he hurriedly flew towards the Golden Shiny.
The old Fishman Clan Leader’s pre-battle judgnt was correct.
The Naga Priest regained her freedom.
She didn’t imdiately fly to the Golden Shiny to help defend with the old Fishman Clan Leader.
Instead, she headed toward the Deep Sea Monster Fish.
This campaign against Twin Eyes Island was a mission heavy with responsibility for her.
From the beginning to the end, she never forgot what her main objective was.
The cannon fire from the Golden Shiny also stunned Zi Di.
She had thought she would face retaliation from the Golden Shiny.
She had been prepared for that.
But it didn’t happen.
“So, I can continue bombarding it?”
“But why would it help the Fishman?”
