Chapter 1013: Asura Killing Field (Part One)
[TL Note: Asura is a class of divine beings that is murderous and evil in Chinese Mythology.]
“Huh? I’m surprised that a little level 1 empire has this level of defense. Is this place the naval base of the Zenit Empire?”
In the center of the herald legion at the front of the mysterious fleet, a thin and tall man stood on the deck of a ship that was tightly guarded. He was in a set of commander’s armor, and he looked shocked at this moment.
Beside him, a few generals out of more than a dozen generals in magic armor frowned, surprised by the defensive power of the opponent.
All of them thought that with the powerful offensive ability of their ships, they could obliterate this small harbor with one wave of cannon attacks.
However, the magic sensation that appeared on those magic shields made these arrogant invaders feel ominous as if something terrible were about to happen.
“Mr. Montoya, this harbor should be named Byzantine Harbor, and it belongs to a level 1 affiliated kingdom of Zenit. It is also a part of the Royal City of the Byzantine Kingdom. It isn’t the naval base of Zenit.”
Out of a big group of battle advisors who were busy reading documents and looking at the maps, a blond, 30-year-old-looking muscular man quickly said.
“An affiliated kingdom?”
Commander Montoya of the herald legion was even more confused, and he asked, “How is this possible? How can a little affiliated kingdom block the attack of level 4 magic cannons in the [Sea God’s Spear], a legion of our great Barcelona’s navy? What is going on? Are our level 4 magic cannons children’s toys?”
“This…” The head advisor on the ship shivered and didn’t know how to answer.
The advisors had flipped through a ton of documents and maps and were sure that the information was correct. However, they didn’t know why such an incident was happening.
“Hmph! Pass my order! Initiate level 5 magic cannons! In ten seconds, put this harbor and these damn battleships at the bottom of the sea to feed the fish! I will turn this small place that dares to block the power of our empire into Hell! From now on, no creatures will live here, no grass will grow here, and the blood will never dry up here!”
Vicious glints appeared in Montoya’s triangular eyes that were slightly squinted, making him look like a poisonous snake.
“Damn it! The main fleet under Mr. Alaba’s command is going to be here soon! We don’t have much time to waste! If I can’t even deal with a little affiliated kingdom, how can I compete with that old Alves?” Montoya was displeased by the current situation.
“As you wish!”
Orders were quickly passed down.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The magic cannons on these ships started the second round of shooting.
This time, the magic energy missiles were much more terrifying. While dragging long tails, these projectiles landed on Byzantinians’ magic shields before the noises could sound; they were faster than the speed of sound.
It seemed like these projectiles were going to destroy the world.
Then, even more magic energy missiles flew toward the battleships of Byzantine and the harbor city.
However, dust soon settled, and everyone fell silent.
“What is going on? Who can tell me what is going on?”
Seeing the enemy’s fleet and harbor still intact, Montoya was enraged and confused at the same time. He couldn’t understand why the magic shields easily blocked the level 5 magic cannons.
This setback was unforgivable!
Chapter 1013: Asura Killing Field (Part Two)
The moon-class battleships of a level 9 empire and the attacks of level 5 magic cannons couldn’t take down a small harbor and several hundreds of small, fishing-boat-like battleships. It was humiliating!
“This… could it be that the Zenitians already know about the empire’s military operation, and they are prepared?”
Out of about 40 battle advisors, a big-headed advisor who looked young and wasn’t of high status murmured something as a glint flashed in his eyes. Then, he saw everyone looking at him, and he was startled and quickly lowered his head as his heart raced.
“If that is the case…” Montoya’s heart raced as well, “If that is the case, the Zenitians could have easily set up a trap here and are just waiting for us to barge in…”
“Although the naval force of Zenit is insignificant, it is heard that the Zenit Empire has an emperor who is a demi-god. It is easy for a demi-god to destroy a herald legion like mine.”
Montoya graduated from La Masia Royal Military Academy of the supreme level 9 Barcelona Empire, which was one of the two giant level 9 empires in the Western Region of Azeroth. Also, he had the pure Catalonia Royal Bloodline. He had a high status, and he was praised as one of the most talented new commanders in the military and one of the crucial figures in the empire in the future. Although this man was arrogant, he wasn’t a fool. After thinking this through, the ominous feeling on his mind intensified.
“Quick! Pass my order! Stop moving forward! All ships activate the magic shields and slowly retreat…”
Before Montoya could finish speaking, catastrophic changes suddenly occurred.
A streak of not-so-powerful warrior energy flame shot into the sky from a battleship of Byzantine.
Then, as if it ignited the fuse to a massive amount of TNT, the calm sea and the blue sky suddenly changed their appearances. Terrifying ripples fluttered in the sky uncontrollably, and the space in the area looked like a beautiful painting that was rubbed and crushed by a terrifying, indescribable force. Everything in the sky shattered.
The few moon-class battleships in the front were hit by this invisible power. Like eggs that were struck by a hammer, the battleships cracked instantly. It didn’t matter if the ships were made of wood or metal and if the people were ordinary soldiers or powerful masters; they cracked and shattered like a dry piece of toast. Soon, like bread crumbs, small white fragments floated on the ocean.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Giant golden sword energies that were about 100 meters long appeared everywhere, attacking with intense murderous spirit.
As the sword energies flew around, they only brought death and destruction.
In an instant, the area between five kilometers and two kilometers to the coastline turned into a bloody hell.
Gasps, screams, blood, broken ships, magic energy, warrior energy, severed limbs, wood fragments…
It looked like a living hell! It was a terrifying massacre.
All the generals and commanders could only watch.
Four giant moon-class battleships to the right had activated their magic shields. However, when a golden sword energy flew passed them and lightly touched them, the shields that could block the strike of a New Moon Elite shattered like a piece of tofu in a dicing machine. Then, these four battleships slowly disintegrated and merged into the sea like a collapsing sand sculpture.
The terrifying changes stunned everyone on the remaining battleships.
