Witch Wind

Chapter 140: Widespread Misery (Part )
Yunxiang Island.

Faced with the crazy bombardment of more than 5,000 Allied warships, the beach defense line formed by the Dongyun royal family finally collapsed.

Even though the priests and priestesses of the Penglai Shrine tried their best to mobilize the many skeleton warriors to charge back and forth, the people of Sophie and Marceau on the coalition side finally took action.

They mixed in with the large groups of coalition forces that landed, lurking in the shadows like ghosts, attacking with swords at close range, sniping with bows and crossbows at long range, or simply using strange magic to drive terrible changes in trees, vines, flowers, and grass, killing large numbers of priests and priestesses who were caught off guard.

In short, the coalition forces logged in.

The defenders assembled by the Dongyun royal family suffered heavy losses. In just three to five days, they left behind nearly a million corpses. Several times more defenders than that were surrounded and laid down their weapons in surrender.

Among the surrendered defenders, the generals from the major families of Dongyun and the great nobles of the western islands had a few words. Except for a group of unlucky guys with royal blood who had no other way out and committed suicide by disembowelment, the other 70% of the generals also changed their flags and raised the banner of "clearing the court".

In the strait west of Yunxiang Island, countless large and small ships were traveling back and forth, shuttling day and night, constantly sending large groups of coalition forces to Yunxiang Island.

By the time Xing Tianli returned contentedly with his sleeves full of golden wind, on Yunxiang Island, the Dongyun nobles from the western islands and their Dongyun soldiers had all landed and captured dozens of cities, large and small.

Nearly half of the colonial troops commanded by Renov and generals from other countries also landed on Yunxiang Island.

Xing Tianli stood on the flowing clouds, with colorful magic power infused into his eyes. Looking into the distance, he saw the edge of the territory occupied by the coalition forces and outside the border line of the Dongyun royal garrison. A dense evil aura rose into the sky. In the thick black fog, a large number of ancient Qin heavy armors that were hollow inside with only thick black air floating in them were running back and forth.

Occasionally, one could hear shrill roars and see dozens of giant whales with their flesh and blood torn apart, bones and internal organs exposed everywhere, moving through the black fog and evil energy like ghosts.

Occasionally, green phosphorous fire would silently surge in the body of a giant whale. The huge creature, which was over a hundred feet long, would suddenly open its mouth, and a green lightning would silently sweep out, splitting the ground into a crack about three to five miles long and over a foot deep.

If such power were deployed on the battlefield, the ordinary soldiers of the coalition forces would be easily harvested like leeks.

Behind these dozens of rotten whales of astonishing size, thousands of giant octopuses with heads only about 15 feet in radius but with more than a dozen tentacles were also floating in the black mist and wandering slowly. Each tentacle of these giant octopuses was 200 to 300 feet long, and on their gray and sticky tentacles, countless eyes of different sizes opened and closed from time to time, and occasionally a few large mouths covered with fangs would open from the tentacles, and wet green saliva would drip continuously.

When the green saliva falls on the ground, it corrodes the ground with a "hissing" sound. A drop of saliva the size of a thumb can corrode a hole the size of a water tank in the ground.

Xing Tianli gasped: "What a big deal! Where did this Yamatai get these weird things from?"

In the Dharma Ending Age, Taoism no longer exists.

The priests and shrine maidens of Penglai Shrine do have evil magic, extracting souls from living people, extracting essence and blood, and using this as energy to activate evil magic. However, the priests and shrine maidens can only drive one or two Qinjia evil ghosts.

There were so many of them, and they were so big that Xing Tianli couldn't estimate how many lives had to be sacrificed to allow these guys to float and move so freely in this Dharma-Ending Age?

Or maybe, Yamatai and the others have mastered some kind of Dharma that is very different from Taoism and can be practiced freely in the Dharma Ending Age?
Xing Tianli looked at the black fog thoughtfully.

After pondering for a long time, Xing Tianli looked beyond the black fog and into the distance.

He was stunned for a moment. What did he see?
He saw millions of royal guards rushing in. Among these royal guards, a large number of heavy equipment were clearly visible.

"What the hell is this!"

All the pores on Xing Tianli's body contracted, his hair stood up, and he felt numb all over.

He saw thousands of tanks with five pairs of road wheels, he saw thousands of self-propelled artillery with five pairs of road wheels, and he saw nearly 10,000 rocket launchers towed by cars, with twelve, twenty-four, or thirty-six rocket launchers on their backs, with calibers ranging from three inches to twelve inches!

Xing Tianli scratched his scalp hard.

These things naturally posed no threat to him. Even if these weapons were fired at the same time and all the shells fell on him at the same time, he would not be harmed at all.

But it's so absurd, so ridiculous that these things suddenly appear here.

Xing Tianli even felt inexplicably embarrassed!

Everyone, everyone from the Dongyun Island Alliance, those poor nobles in your southern archipelago, many of their private armies are still using single-shot, muzzle-loading black powder rifles, and you have tanks, self-propelled artillery, and rocket launchers here. You are breaking the rules!
The generation gap of this weapon has been dragged down to this extent by you. Do you have the nerve to do this?

The power of the soul surged out, and Xing Tianli's power of the soul enveloped a tank, dissecting the tank inside and out in an instant.

He took a deep, deep, deep breath.

terrible.

Terrible.

The manufacturing process of this tank was so advanced that even Xing Tianli was dumbfounded. The finish of its internal parts, the precision of the processing, and the strength of some bearings and large shafts were all amazing, very amazing.

In his previous life, when Xing Tianli was on Earth during the Dharma Ending Age, he was somewhat curious about those weapons and ammunition. After he had achieved success in his cultivation, he had also secretly observed and played with some of the big guys that interested him at close range without breaking the law.

The manufacturing technology in the previous life was already extremely sophisticated.

But compared to the tank in front of us, there is a generation gap in both craftsmanship and materials!

What a generation gap!
With the power of Xing Tianli's soul, he saw the official logo of the Aime Federation on some important parts of the tank.

He nodded slowly.

Very good.

Before, when he was in Black Borneo, he asked Tata to generate electricity and request the Aime Federation to provide enough arms to the indigenous army he organized. However, Oli in the Dongyun Island Federation directly rejected Xing Tianli's request.

And this guy actually took out so many heavy weapons and armed the Dongyun people.

The millions of Dongyun royal army that surged forward were all armed with fully automatic firearms. Many of them were elite Qins, and they were carrying heavy ammunition boxes. A long flexible ammunition chain stretched out from the ammunition box and connected to the six-barreled machine guns in their hands!

The corners of Xing Tianli's mouth twitched.

Foul!
You guys broke the rules!
Six-barreled high-speed machine gun, how dare you take out such a thing?

Moreover, the enemy, the coalition forces of the western islands, many of the private soldiers were still using breech-loading paper shell fixed-load firearms. The generation gap here could be five, six, seven or eight generations, right?
A wisp of cloud approached quietly.

Cai Jing, Tong Guan and Wei Zhongxian, three old cunning men, came over stealthily on the flowing clouds.

Xing Tianli looked back at them and said with a smile, "You three are in a good mood. Are you interested in watching these ants fighting?"

The three of them gathered around Xing Tianli, and the two clouds merged into one.

Cai Jing played with a jade ruyi in his hands and bowed to Xing Tianli with a smile: "After counting with my fingers, I know that you will definitely make a fortune this time, little brother, and it will be a windfall!"

Xing Tianli laughed and waved his hands gently: "No, no, I just want to support my family. Now that I have a big family and so many brothers who rely on me for food, don't I have to worry about their food, clothing, and transportation?"

Tong Guan pointed to the large amount of heavy weapons in the Dongyun reinforcements below and said: "For us, these items are just small things and not worth mentioning. But with ordinary soldiers, they are enough to sweep the world, drive out the evil, and rebuild China!"

Wei Zhongxian chuckled and said, "It's been a few days now, let's think about it. If you have something to say, just say it directly, don't hide it. You and the current Great Yu Dynasty are not the same kind of people, right?"

Xing Tianli's brows were twitching as he looked at the three old villains with a smile.

Tong Guan was the helper recruited by Zhao Qingqi.

Cai Jing was the one who came with a large group of people and forced Zhao Qingqi to marry.

Wei Zhongxian was the chief eunuch who escorted Zhu Diao Chong to the blind date.

Originally, under the planning of these three people, Zhao Qingxuan, the little princess of Zhao Song, had no control over her own destiny. Whether she was willing or not, she had to marry Zhu Diaochong.

But who made her find Xing Tianli's support?

"Are you three impatient?" Xing Tianli smiled brightly, "Yes, we have wasted several months here, just watching these island slave dwarves fight each other to the point of blood and flesh flying everywhere. There is no strategy, no tactics, and they are just throwing people's lives into the ditch. This kind of drama is not good to watch."

"What do you three have to say? I'm listening." Xing Tianli was in a good mood. After all, he had just made a fortune, so he was willing to waste some time talking to these three old guys.

Cai Jing coughed lightly and said, "For your sake, Your Highness Qingjun, let her fly freely as she pleases. Ahem, there are so many princesses in Zhao Song, there must be a few who are willing to marry Zhu Ming."

Wei Zhongxian smiled brightly: "Our prince is not picky, he has no interest in women, so as long as she is a princess of the Zhao Song Dynasty, even if she looks like a female demon, it doesn't matter. So, it doesn't matter whether she is His Highness Qingjun or not!"

Cai Jing and Tong Guan rolled their eyes at the same time.

The two old ghosts began to talk about the royal family of the Zhao Song Dynasty, the noble bloodline of the Zhao Song Dynasty, and the princesses of the Zhao Song Dynasty, all of whom were beautiful as gods and fairies from heaven. "Speaking of the main point!" Xing Tianli took out a piece of silver and played with it in his hand, rubbing it into an 'S' shape for a while, and then twisting it into a 'B' shape.

The three old ghosts looked serious.

Cai Jing said in a deep voice: "I feel deeply for my past sins. Since I ascended to heaven, I have been practicing Buddhism!"

Xing Tianli was silent.

This topic was a bit embarrassing, even more embarrassing than when he saw those Dongyun dwarfs driving tanks, self-propelled artillery, carrying so many rocket launchers, and carrying extremely sophisticated automatic firearms to fight.

Are you Cai Jing?
Feeling guilty about past sins?

You, practice Buddhism asceticism?

Xing Tianli was just about to put his hands together in a pretentious manner and say "Amitabha" to Cai Jing.

On the battlefield below, the situation suddenly changed.

Fleets flying the Dongyun Eight-Headed Demonic Dragon Flag appeared at both ends of the narrow strait on the west side of Yunxiang Island. The fleets were mighty and of astonishing size. At a glance, in the north and south directions, there were more than a hundred main battleships with a displacement equivalent of around 50,000 tons!

The number of other battlecruisers, high-speed cruisers, large destroyers, large frigates, etc. exceeded one thousand.

The huge fleet was speeding towards them at an astonishing speed. The allied fleet's attention was all focused on Yunxiang Island. They had never imagined that the Dongyun royal family could come up with such an astonishingly large fleet.

In particular, the tonnage and technical indicators of these warships far exceed those of the more than 5,000 warships of the Allied Fleet.

Among the allied warships, the largest tonnage is only Renov's current flagship, a large ship with a displacement of more than 15,000 tons. Apart from this large ship, the displacement of other battleships is about 10,000 tons, and such battleships, the entire fleet, large and small, hundreds of countries fleets added together, only 200 or so.

The sailors on the observation tower of the Allied Fleet were all looking towards the Yunxiang Island beach.

It was not until the two fleets of the Dongyun people, divided into the north and south directions, completely blocked this narrow strait, which was only fifty miles wide, that the nearest Allied fleet lookouts reacted and sounded the alarm in panic.

The shrill alarm startled the entire fleet.

But before the huge Allied fleet could react, the Touno fleet, which had already formed a perfect artillery formation, roared at the same time with thousands of large and small naval guns.

Xing Tianli and the three old ghosts sensed at the same time that on the warships of the Dongyun fleet, dense radio waves were sweeping across the void.

The three old ghosts seemed to understand this.

And Xing Tianli almost shouted - Cheating, they cheated! Hey, hey, is this a radar? Is this a radar?

More than one hundred of the Dongyun people's new battleships with a displacement of more than 50,000 tons opened fire at the same time.

More than a thousand 462-inch ( mm) main guns spewed out terrible flames, and the air waves from the muzzles pressed a huge arc-shaped depression on the sea surface. Huge shells whistled out and hit the "close" Allied fleet fiercely.

More than 5,000 Allied warships were densely arranged in the narrow strait. Their team was so tight. They enjoyed bombarding the Dongyun defenders on the coast so much, and they were in so much pain at this moment.

A loud noise, a flash of fire, and an extremely terrifying explosion.

No one knows what the formula of the main gun shells of the Dongyun people's new battleships is. In short, in Xing Tianli's opinion, the lethality of their shells far exceeds the power of regular explosives.

At the north and south ends, more than a hundred Allied warships were hit by large and small shells and exploded.

Especially the Allied warships located at the outermost ends of the north and south sides. More than a dozen 10,000-ton battleships were hit by the main guns of the Dongyun people's battleships. Such huge warships actually exploded directly like eggshells.

"Fuck!" Xing Tianli's mouth exhaled a sweet fragrance!

It was blown into pieces, really too pieces. Hit by the main guns of the Dongyun people, the dozens of 10,000-ton battleships were blown into thousands of pieces of different sizes. How much effort would it take for him to salvage these pieces from the seabed later!

On the sea, the Dongyun people's new warships fired crazily, and torpedoes were ejected from the frigates and destroyers with a "bang bang" sound, quickly leaving long white trails on the sea.

At the north and south ends, thousands of torpedoes were fired in unison, dragging their wakes.

Renov and others, who had witnessed with their own eyes at the mouth of Pinghai City the Allied Fleet being instantly sunk by torpedoes from the Navy Fleet of the Kingdom of Yingji, roared in shock and anger as they saw the white trails on the sea.

There is no way to dodge.

More than 5,000 warships were crowded in this narrow strait.

Thousands of torpedoes, with their heads down, rushed forward like crazy.

Their trajectories occupied the entire channel of the strait, leaving no room for the warships to dodge.

One warship after another was hit by torpedoes and exploded and caught fire.

On the Touno people's warships, countless Touno soldiers were like potatoes rolling on the ground, roaring with joy, constantly operating the machinery, pulling out torpedoes from the depths of the cabin and automatically loading them into the torpedo launchers.

Then, the second wave of torpedoes came.

Then came the third wave, the fourth wave, the fifth wave...

At the same time, the Dongyun warships were also firing frantically. Invisible radar waves swept across the sky, and the Dongyun people's artillery accuracy reached an outrageous level.

On average, for every three shells they fired, one would hit the Allied warship.

The other shells also formed cross-fire and near-misses, and the turbulent water waves caused terrible damage to the hull. Many warships produced by small countries with not very advanced technology, not very strong materials, and not very solid hull structure were directly cracked by the near-misses and quickly sank to the bottom of the sea.

Xing Tianli clapped softly.

That's right, don't always destroy a battleship with one shot. It's very tiring to collect the fragments.

This kind of warship, which was torn open by a near miss and sank directly into the sea but still had its overall structure intact, was his favorite!

Wow, there are more than 5,000 warships, the largest of which is 15,000 tons, and the smallest is 2,000 tons. Even if the average is only 4,000 tons, that means 20 million tons of high-quality steel!

Not to mention, the shells and explosives in the battleship are also good things.

Xing Tianli happily watched the "fierce battle" below... Well, it can't be considered a fierce battle, it was clearly a one-sided massacre by the Dongyun fleet.

The attack had lasted for a quarter of an hour, and in the strait, the Allied fleet had not even been able to organize an effective counterattack.

The generals of the coalition forces were stunned by the sudden attack and completely lost their ability to command the battle.

On the sea, the coalition soldiers who had already landed also met with a devastating disaster.

A large group of tanks.

A large number of self-propelled artillery.

The terrifying metal giant, with its large group of Dongyun soldiers armed with automatic firearms, easily tore through the coalition's defenses. Large groups of coalition soldiers were crushed into pulp by the tracks or shot into sieves by dense bullets.

The rocket launchers towed by the cars opened fire at the same time from a distance of dozens of miles.

There were dense "whooshing" sounds in the air, and hundreds of thousands of rockets were like water washing away the positions occupied by the coalition forces.

The sky was full of fire.

There was blood all over the floor.

Everywhere there were Allied soldiers wailing and crying, and fleeing frantically.

A beam of fire shot up into the sky, and Renov, in a rage, turned into a cloud of fire and rushed straight to Yunxiang Island.

On Yunxiang Island, Yamatai giggled and waved his finger at Renouf from a distance: "Man, come on! You didn't have enough fun last time, this time, you have to be stronger!"
