Chapter 484: Chapter 484: Naval Battle Before Landing
As soon as the request arrived, the soldiers who had been long prepared started to board the ships.
"What a pity we can’t bring out the gold-level ships, or else would there be any suspense?"
Fang Jie sighed. He had only three types of gold-level ships. The first type was the Ghost Ship, which belonged to the Undead System. It couldn’t possibly be used by people of other systems, so it couldn’t be brought over.
The second type was the sea fortress, an item even less likely to be sold.
A sea fortress is a mobile fortress.
If the opponent had a territory, gaining control of a sea fortress would allow them to construct other functional buildings on it. This thing had too great an impact, so Fang Jie would never sell it to anyone else.
Because it was so large, its pricing would also be high, almost unaffordable for most.
The last type was the blood-colored battleship, which originally did not have any significant issues.
However, the blood-colored battleship had an additional skill: creating bloody skeletons. This required using corpses to create and belonged to the Undead System as well, which could cause a big problem.
Therefore, Fang Jie couldn’t sell this ship either. Since he couldn’t sell it to others, he naturally couldn’t bring it over to Worm Island for use. So this time, they could only use some regular warships.
Even so, they could not give them the Sargassum Ghost Ships.
Being a part of the Undead System, they would be without underwater units when dealing with Kapala Island.
At this moment, a large number of heavy warships and heavy transport ships had started moving. These would be the main force in the maritime transport. But before this, a lot of three-masted sailing ships had already set off as well.
Though only black iron grade, the three-masted sailing ships were fast and cheap to build, and they possessed a certain level of combat power. Therefore, the sea was presently filled with these capsizing three-masters.
Not only were they carrying out reconnaissance, but they were also the main force that would thoroughly encircle Kapala Island later on.
There was no help for it, since his human army currently lacked aerial forces.
The opposing Kapala Island, on the other hand, had aerial forces with the silver-grade griffin knights and even some gold-grade hero units.
Indeed, Kapala Island had a territory; it was conjectured that these were obtained from the Earth people.
Otherwise, it was impossible that after so many years, they had only developed so much.
"Damn Worm Island, damn Quisha Island, those despicable Undead are so brazen."
"Enough of that, first, let them suffer some losses at sea. I suspect they have other preparations this time. Although we’re not afraid of Worm Island, we must guard against all possibilities."
The people of Kapala Island scorned those of Worm Island, but even at wartime, they still did not underestimate their opponents.
Worm Island might not amount to much, but the island behind them, Quisha Island, was not simple.
"I know. Proceed according to our plan, this time we must show them what cruelty means."
A great many ships had also been long prepared, yet these were battle ships, not transport ships. Everyone was deeply worried, for the quality of the opponent’s ships was clearly superior.
After all, they were made by territory functional buildings; there was simply no comparison with ordinary ships.
What they could not endure the most was that the enemy had crazily prepared tens of thousands of ships, with tens of thousands of heavy warships alone. Although these ships were of the silver grade, they could exert the destructive power of gold grade.
Tens of thousands of heavy warships together were simply not something their fleets could confront.
"Air forces, I’d like to see if they can hit the skies."
Countless griffin knights flew into the sky, ready to harass from above.
But as it turned out, the heavy warships really could attack the air. Although ordinary cannon fire couldn’t manage it, their main cannons were tower-shaped energy cannons that could attack at any angle.
And such attacks held the destructive force of the gold level.
At a single command, countless fireballs flew across the sky, instantly forming a barrage.
Those silver-grade griffin knights faced with such an attack, even though they continuously dodged, still suffered heavy losses. A single wave of attack wiped out a third of the griffin knights.
The ones charging fastest at the forefront had almost no chance of survival.
"Damn it, retreat quickly." Once they realized this, they knew they likely had no advantage in the air, at least not out at sea.
Just then, the foremost battleships had disengaged, with the heavy warships unleashing terrifying destructive power.
However, Kapala Island, as an established island, wasn’t without its own strengths.
From underwater, some attacking forces emerged—these were sea beasts they had tamed. Without underwater battleships, it wasn’t easy to counter these sea beasts; they had to wait for them to surface first.
"Why haven’t we noticed these battleships being so tough before?"
Although their attacks had the upper hand, such attacks were not very effective. The people from Kapala Island discovered that unless it was a gold-grade sea beast, their attacks on the heavy warships and heavy transport ships only left some scratches.
Less powerful attacks couldn’t even leave a mark.
A great number of the three-masted capsizes continued to be struck and damaged, but Fang Jie didn’t feel much of a loss.
After all, these were just black iron-grade wooden ships, quick and inexpensive to build.
In contrast, these ships kept luring the sea beasts to the surface, where the heavy warships would lock on to them. After a round of cannon fire, the weaker ones were either killed or maimed on the spot. Soon, the sea was awash with blood.
Massive debris floated on the water’s surface, mingled with some sea beasts further away.
The wild sea beasts stimulated by this flocked over, gobbling up the fallen fodder. Some blood-crazed sea beasts began attacking anything they encountered without discrimination.
Especially those sea beasts bred by Kapala Island found themselves among the primary targets.
It didn’t take long for the brows of Commander Muse to furrow. "Everyone retreat to land. Ships, go to the various docks and prepare to defend, to prevent the docks from being destroyed."
"Commander, we can’t retreat. Wouldn’t that mean all our efforts were in vain?"
"If we continue like this, our losses will be greater than the opponent’s, negating all meaning. Once we’re back on land, without their ships, they naturally lose this advantage."
While many could clearly see this situation, recognizing the issue was one thing, but having the resolve to retreat was quite another. After all, taking the initiative to withdraw would mean having to face criticism later on.
