Other than defense, there was also the problem of offensive power. The powerful offensive power of the descending star formation was enough to kill sea beasts in the mountain opening stage in an instant. However, this was built under the condition of consuming a large amount of resources. Once the defense was tight and the damage to the attack was too great, would the ancient warship be able to retreat in one piece?
"Lil bro Lin, I'll leave the control of the attack to you!" Ao Tianba's confidence was mostly due to Lin Yi's arrival. His perfect control of the Starfall formation shocked everyone on the ancient warship.
Lin Yi didn't want to pass the responsibility to anyone else, but the reason why he could control the Starfall formation was because of that thing. He needed to get that thing out first.
"Senior ghost, stop your seclusion. Come out and help!" Lin Yi called out to the thing in his mind-it'd be a big problem if the guy didn't come out of his isolation ...
Fortunately, the ghostly thing was quite reliable, and there was a response very quickly.
"What's wrong? You're thinking of me again at this time?" The ghastly thing laughed strangely. It seemed to be very clear about the current situation."Those sea beast Cubs are making a lot of noise. But kid, do you really want to use this ancient warship to resist the sea beast tide?"
"Of course not. There are also battleships on the northernmost Island. In addition, the restriction here has only loosened, but it has not collapsed. Even if the sea beasts can open an entrance, the suppression of their strength still exists. So, although we are facing a stronger sea beast tide than the last time, it is not certain how much combat power they can display." Lin Yi knew that he wouldn't drag ao Tianba down with him if there really was no hope.
"What you said makes sense, but I have to warn you that if we lose the battle, this ancient warship will not be able to escape. If we go over now, there will only be two outcomes. Either we win or we die!" After a slight pause, the ghastly thing laughed strangely again. "I'm sorry, but there's another ending. You'll win, but you'll die at the same time!"
"You won't be any better if I die. Hurry up and think of a way to make sure we can all survive!" Lin Yi knew that if ao Tianba led the fleet to break out of the encirclement, there was at least an 80% chance that they'd be able to escape the whirlpool.
There would certainly be sea beast tides in other directions, but since the main direction was the North, with the combat power of the ancient warship and the other treasured ships, there was still a good chance to escape from the dock. Moreover, since the northernmost Island attracted the attention of the sea beasts, they would not be pursued much. However, once they went to the northern Sea area and fought with the sea beasts head-on, it was equivalent to being trapped in a quagmire. Even if they could pull out their legs, they would be surrounded by the sea beasts from other directions.
To put it bluntly, ao Tianba was putting all his assets and his life on the line this time, but he had no choice. He had promised the northernmost Island in advance that he would go even if there was danger! This was related to the credibility and honor of the men of the sea, so he would rather die than submit!
"You know the way to ensure your survival. Just turn around and break out of the encirclement!" The demonic thing laughed weirdly and then fell silent. It was unknown if it was thinking about the battle, or it simply didn't want to talk.
"A large number of sea beasts have been discovered twenty miles ahead. They are all at least at the nascent Soul Stage. I estimate that there are at least thirty of them at the mountain opening stage!" Lin Yi and ao Tianba's faces turned serious when they heard the news. This was only the first wave of sea beasts, and there were already more than thirty of them. How many more would there be?
"Why are there so many high-level existences gathered in this sea beast tide? In this Sea region, those who were at the beginning of their cultivation were definitely considered overlords. But now, they've all become pawns to clear the way?" Ao Tianba muttered to himself. If there were only so many sea beasts, he wouldn't have to worry. However, these were only the vanguard, and he immediately felt a huge pressure!
"Brother ao Tian, advance at full speed. We must block the gap in the formation restriction of the northernmost Island that has loosened. We can't let the sea beasts continue to enter!" Lin Yi was a little nervous, but he kept his face calm as he ordered the normal cannons to fire.
"Brothers, this is a battle for us to show off our might to the world. All the sea beasts that enter the restriction on the northernmost Island will be suppressed and weakened. The actual combat power of thirty sea beasts at the mountain opening stage may only be at the xuansheng stage or even the Yuanying stage. After this battle, the sea beasts will flee at the sight of us! Kill!" After preparing the cannons, Lin Yi raised his voice to boost the morale. It was just a guess, but it was basically the truth, so it was very convincing.
"Kill!" When Lin Yi's voice reached every corner of the ancient warship through the sound amplification formation, all the crew members 'blood boiled as they responded with a murderous aura!
The energy of countless spiritual jades was drained, and they were transformed into dazzling light from the muzzles of the Naval cannons. The light tore through the space of the sea area, and in an instant, they appeared at the spot where the sea beast tide was the densest. They bloomed like flowers of death, mercilessly harvesting the lives of the sea beasts.
Lin Yi's strategy was very successful. He adjusted most of the muzzles of the cannons to the front, forming a small area of attack. Although the area of attack was smaller, the power was greatly increased. Just the first round of attack had killed eight sea beasts of the mountain opening realm, and the number of deaths of the sea beasts of the xuansheng and Yuanying realms was multiplied.
This solid and magnificent battle record immediately boosted the morale of the crew members on the ancient warship. No matter how well they said it, it was not as good as seeing this spectacular scene with their own eyes. Everyone was suddenly full of confidence in their own mission!
"Well done! Brother Lin is indeed a genius in naval warfare!" Ao Tianba slapped the bridge's control panel in excitement, wishing he could go and fire a few shots himself.
"The guess that the sea beasts have been weakened by the formation is correct, so it's not surprising that the first volley could produce such results. Everyone, prepare for the second volley!" Lin Yi wasn't happy at all-this was just the appetizer, the real battle had just begun!
The sea beast tide that was attacked instantly dispersed, especially the sea beasts that were in the mountain-opening stage. Although their strength was suppressed, their reactions were still extremely fast. They swam among the sea beasts, making it impossible for the ancient warship to focus its fire on them.
And those Yuanying stage sea beasts were usually quite powerful, but here they were completely used as cannon fodder to block the cannon fire.
The three warships of the northernmost Island that were patrolling in the safe sea area also appeared in the distance and launched a continuous attack. Although the power was not as strong as the ancient warship, the speed of harvesting sea beasts was only slightly inferior.
