859 The first battle (1)
The cost of raising sea beasts was very high, and it required a large investment of resources to train a sea beast Knight.
Even the Mastiff Dragon Tribe could not afford such a huge consumption. Almost half of their resources had been invested in this project.
However, no one raised any objections to this.
First of all, these sea beast riders were the clan leader’s private army, and were his greatest reliance to maintain his rule. If anyone were to speak too much about this matter, they would inevitably be suppressed and retaliated by the clan leader, and it would not be strange for them to be killed.
Secondly, the powerful sea beast riders were a useful method to intimidate the enemy. There were very few Pirates around the Mastiff Dragon Tribe, and it was precisely because of the bloody massacre that the sea beast riders had once caused that the Pirates were terrified and didn’t dare to approach this place.
Therefore, the necessity of the existence of the sea beast Knights was absolutely unquestionable!
According to the strength classification of the world of loucheng, the combined combat power of these sea beast Knights and sea beasts should be equivalent to that of a level 4 cultivator.
It sounded very ordinary, but for the water world, which was poor in resources and energy, this was a powerful force that could not be ignored!
The Mastiff Dragon Tribe had a total of 1000 sea beast riders. This was already the tribe’s limit. For many years, they had maintained this scale, without any increase or decrease.
These 1,000 sea beast riders were divided into 10 large squadrons, and each squadrons had 100 sea beast riders.
A large team would then be divided into ten small teams, each responsible for patrolling and guarding.
During normal battles, only a large group of sea beast riders would be sent out each time, while the rest would stay behind and wait for orders.
This wasn’t because the Mastiff Dragon Tribe was conceited, but because even so, there were still many sea beast riders who were in a state of watching the battle.
After a battle, they would only need a dozen or so sea beast riders to completely defeat the enemy!
In fact, in the past few decades, small groups of Pirates had disappeared from the sea area where the Mastiff Dragon Tribe was located. Even the large pirate groups did not dare to approach it rashly.
This was because the Pirates ‘equipment and means of transportation could not compare to the Mastiff Dragon tribe’s sea beast riders. Once they engaged in battle, the Pirates would be the ones to lose.
The outcome of a pirate being defeated was extremely miserable. It would be fine if they died on the spot, but if they didn’t die and were captured, they would inevitably suffer endless abuse and slowly die in endless pain.
Therefore, in the hearts of the Mastiff Dragon Tribe, these sea beast riders were a symbol of invincibility!
But today, as the metal floating island approached, those sea beast riders actually chose to mobilize all of their forces!
When the members of the Mastiff Dragon Tribe saw this, their jaws dropped. They had never before seen these sea beast riders fight in such a fashion.
This also proved that the sudden appearance of this floating metal Island had brought a great deal of psychological pressure to the people in charge of the Mastiff Dragon Tribe.
A sense of uneasiness immediately crept into his heart.
Just as these sea beast riders began to attack, the rumbling sound of war drums suddenly rang out from the giant garbage ship that the Mastiff Dragon tribe’s chief was on.
After that, armored garbage ships covered in iron sheets, lined up in long lines, suddenly appeared from the waterway and rushed out at an extremely fast speed.
The sound of orders constantly came from these garbage warships as they lined up in formation to face the approaching metal floating island.
As far as the eye could see, there were at least ten Mastiff Dragon Warriors in simple armor on each warship. They had a wide variety of weapons, and their materials were not all the same. There were fish bones, steel, wood, and even some things of unknown material.
They had all been carefully polished by craftsman Jing of the Aolong tribe and made into weapons that could kill!
There were nearly 1000 of these trashy warships. They were densely packed together, and they looked quite impressive.
Although the floating metal Island in front of them looked extremely huge, the Mastiff Dragon Warriors, who had long since become dark-skinned and strong, didn’t show any signs of nervousness. On the contrary, they were even more eager to try.
To them, the size of the enemy’s warship didn’t matter at all, because big had its advantages, and small also had its advantages.
If they got close to the floating island, as long as they quickly climbed up, the enemy would not be able to gain any advantage.
The moment they thought of the spoils of war and rewards they would receive, they felt the desire to fight boiling in their chests!
At this time, the murderous sea beast riders had all spread out, charging from different directions, and were getting closer and closer to the metal floating island.
They could even clearly see many enemies wearing the same armor standing on the edge of the metal floating island, pointing at them with curiosity and disdain.
Beside these enemies were some strange-looking metal equipment with long pipes pointing at them.
As if they felt the contempt from their enemies, these sea beast riders, who had always been conceited, suddenly increased their charging speed and let out strange howls.
When these ocean beast riders were less than a kilometer away from the metal floating island, a large amount of flames suddenly shot out from those cold and hard metal pipes. At the same time, countless metal bullets blotted out the sky and covered the earth as they attacked, causing a series of waves that were several meters high to appear on the surface of the sea.
The terrifying Metal Storm swept past these sea beast riders, and some unlucky ones were instantly hit. Their bodies were instantly torn apart, and they exploded into a large cloud of blood mist. Pieces of flesh and organs flew everywhere.
In just a few breaths, the cavalrymen at the forefront all disappeared from the surface of the sea, turning into pools of minced meat.
A strong and nauseating stench also spread in all directions with the sea breeze!
When the cavalrymen of the sea beasts saw this, they were all shocked.
Although they were used to seeing death, they still trembled in fear at this moment. They had never seen such a terrifying weapon that could turn people into mincemeat!
By the time they realized that something was wrong, it was already too late. The metal weapons that were aimed at them had already opened fire. Countless scorching hot metal bullets enveloped their surroundings. They landed on their bodies one after another.
In the blink of an eye, the entire ocean had turned into a slaughterhouse filled with screams and the smell of blood!
The originally clear sea water was quickly dyed red by the blood and minced meat. The blood waves rolled and seemed to become sticky.
When some of the sea beast riders who had escaped death saw this, they immediately controlled the sea beasts they were riding to run wildly, or to drill into the sea.
Due to the great resistance of the water, the power of the bullets was greatly reduced after entering the water for a few meters. This allowed the sea beast riders to escape with their lives.
Unfortunately, it wasn’t an absolutely safe zone underwater. When these sea beast riders dived into the water and tried to attack from the bottom of the water, they suddenly discovered that there were rows of strange metal boxes fixed under the metal floating island!
Just as these sea beast riders were about to approach, the metal boxes suddenly shot out a large amount of water. Following that, metal spikes that were like sharp swords, with long air bubbles trailing behind them, ruthlessly pierced towards their position.
Although the sea beast riders were still agile in the sea, they were still much slower than they were on the surface.
Now that he was facing the attack of such a sharp weapon, he could not effectively Dodge it. He was stabbed one after another, and blood gushed out uncontrollably, dyeing the surroundings red.
The aquatic beasts were also unable to escape death, and they were all shot like a hornet’s nest. They cried out in pain as they rolled on the ground before slowly falling 1000 meters into the sea.
When the smoke dissipated, they could see the broken bodies and wreckage on the sea, rising and falling with the waves.
The blood had completely dyed the sea water red. The blood-red color could be clearly seen even from far away.
