Chapter 88: Battle of the Qina Sea

Countless ships carved through the waves, as if the Qina Sea were divided into endless pieces!

From the depths of the sea, mermaids and sirens occasionally surfaced, their astonished eyes fixed on the massive fleet. Unbeknownst to them, humans had quietly evolved into one of the strongest races in the Middle Garden!

With iron chains tethering their vessels, the enormous fleet was securely linked together by magical runes. The soldiers aboard felt as stable as if they were standing on solid ground.

The golden-tier warriors were fired up, constantly polishing their weapons. On the grand Royal Ark, over two hundred city lords had convened on one ship.

A hundred legendary warriors stood tall on the black deck, hearty laughter occasionally echoing. Through days of cooperation, the legendary figures had grown exceptionally synchronized, with high compatibility in their respective domains.

Clad in silver battle robes and a white cloak billowing in the wind, Xilin appeared remarkably handsome! Behind him, a woman supported him with gentle, encouraging gazes.

“Obi, look at all these brave warriors I’ve assembled. One hundred of the top legends, and we even have several powerful artifacts—are you still worried about this battle?” Xilin asked, brimming with confidence.

At that moment, he felt omnipotent, believing that no challenge could stand in his way!

Obi, with his divine bow slung over his shoulder, smiled. Naturally, he wouldn’t dampen the spirits, and he replied:

“There’s no need for me to step in; it’s better this way. I’ll save some arrows!”

Hahaha!

Laughter erupted from the fleet, each soldier filled with confidence. After all, they had countless allies, top-notch equipment, and the legendary warriors would completely trample their foes! The democratic policies had secretly won over many in the Sumerian Empire, continuously feeding them information! Those who win the hearts of the people hold the world!

Along the coastline of the Qina Sea, thousands of neatly arranged formations were being established. The strong warriors gazed in admiration at the Golden King ahead.

As long as this king stands, they refused to believe the Sumerian Empire could fall! Gilgamesh’s legend was too numerous to count; it still echoed in the bards’ mouths.

Dressed in golden armor, Gilgamesh’s golden hair shone even brighter than gold itself, “Today, how bold the Xilin Alliance is to invade my dynasty! I will personally lead you brave warriors to ambush the enemy here! We must obliterate this fleet and ensure they never dare to encroach upon our territory again!”

The Disruptor Sword was raised high! Kill, kill, kill!

Instantly, cheers erupted along the coastline, piercing the heavens. The mighty sun shone down, illuminating the legendary hero king with a glow that only added to his holiness and splendor!

Today’s weather was perfectly clear, as if the Middle Garden itself had adjusted the climate for this grand battle, preparing the best stage for a million warriors.

Soon, a group of shadows appeared at the other end of the Qina Sea. The sapphire blue surface was cloaked in shadow, as an enormous fleet obscured the horizon!

On the Royal Ark, Xilin swiftly drew his sword and faced the Golden King on the shoreline.

“Gilgamesh, your establishment of the Sumerian Empire has been brutal and tyrannical, exploiting the populace to their misery! You even led your army to invade my allied city-states; today I will make you pay for your crimes!”

“Haha!” Gilgamesh laughed maniacally, disdainful as he replied: “Xilin, initially I thought you were a talented individual for creating a legendary path, but now it seems you are merely another hypocrite. You invade my dynasty yet accuse me of tyranny!”

Both sides understood that a pre-battle declaration of war was necessary, yet neither expected mere words would demoralize their opponent. Xilin waved his hand forcefully!

“Fire!”

At this point, still a hundred miles away, Xilin ordered an explosion! Each battleship was equipped with fantasy magic cannons—these were Xilin’s exclusive weapons!

Zzzz!

One ship after another swiftly turned, their colorful magic cannons displaying intricate magical patterns. Various energies converged at the gun platform, as they crazily absorbed power, creating an empty magical domain over the sea momentarily.

Gilgamesh’s expression shifted as he hastily waved his hand: “Be cautious of the enemy’s long-range attacks! Form a wall of shields!”

Whoosh!

In mere seconds, thousands of formations quickly re-assimilated. Soldiers gathered together, lifting their heavy square shields above their heads.

Lines of white patterns activated on the square shields, resembling a dragon that crawled along. The entire shield army coalesced into one, forming a massive blue shield’s phantom over the legion!

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

In an instant, it resembled an ancient battle, thousands of dragons roaring forth from the expensive magic cannons, unleashing massive metal projectiles imbued with magical properties!

Instantly, colorful trails appeared in the sky, resembling a goddess showering rainbows—beautiful yet perilous.

Crash! The bombastic sounds of explosions echoed along the shoreline as tightly packed formations were thrown into disarray by the magical projectiles.

Only a few elite formations managed to hold their ground! “Hmm?”

Gilgamesh snorted coldly as the Royal Ark launched a specially crafted silver projectile towards him! The intricate magical patterns flashed along the silver projectile, constantly shifting and merging into a terrifying legendary magic array. With this strike, they intended to severely injure the hero king!

Zzz!

The three blades of the Disruptor Sword vanished, revealing myriad red patterns in front of Gilgamesh, as the Disruptor Sword deciphered the world’s laws! Black spatial rifts emerged!

Whoosh!

The intense wind pressure caused nearby soldiers to stagger. The specially crafted armor-piercing projectile suddenly surged forward! However, a black crack sliced through like a divine blade, splitting the projectile in two! The magical array, painstakingly crafted by legendary warriors, offered no resistance whatsoever! Boom!

The split projectile created a loud explosion in the air, doing not a shred of damage to the hero king.

“Gilgamesh is indeed formidable. The most terrifying part is his Artifact; the Disruptor Sword was forged by him personally and is perfectly attuned to him!”

The legendary warriors exchanged glances and, with a brave howling, they soared into the sky! They formed a collective charge toward Gilgamesh!

One hundred top legends charged forth, yet Gilgamesh showed no fear. He waved his hand, “Bring out the Dragon-breaking crossbow!”

One massive crossbow after another was hoisted from the rear, specifically crafted for targeting colossal creatures like dragons, perfectly suited for combating massive warships!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! The sound of piercing arrows filled the air, leaving white trails in the sky. Bang!

Massive crossbow bolts crashed into the warships, slaughtering crew members left and right until chaos erupted within the battleships.

“Quick! Quick!” Soldiers rushed about the battleships, quickly replacing ammunition, preparing magical stones for another barrage.

The sounds of explosions and piercing projectiles echoed continuously! Both sides unleashed their firepower, provoking the sea into a tempest, as towering waves surged skyward.

The massive warships swayed wildly, but fortunately, these vessels were constructed from premium materials; forged by exquisite craftsmen, they were inscribed with profound magical arrays, which is why they weren’t reduced to debris.

In the distance of the battlefield, a Xián Yú player constantly took screenshots, live-streaming to the forum.

Vast and magnificent photos were sent out, keeping the forum’s netizens updated about this grand battle!

This was a struggle between players and NPCs, or rather, a contest between Earth’s humans and the Middle Garden’s beings! “Tsk tsk, Xilin must have poured all his resources into this; every one of those magic cannons used advanced magic stones, and each shot resonates with coin!”

“It seems that no matter what battlefield, a battle always costs money! But with such a hefty investment, the long-range firepower indeed suppressed the Sumerian army!”

As the crowd watched the livestream screenshots, the magical cannons ultimately triumphed; even the Dragon-breaking crossbows were no match for the cannons!
