Crossing the wilderness to survive, starting with a broken kitchen knife.

After hearing Zhang Shi's words, the alliance's top leaders revealed a hint of hesitation in their eyes, but it was quickly replaced by determination.

"Boss Zhang Shi is right. This is a rare opportunity and we can't be timid." Liu Yu from the Bright Alliance was the first to express his opinion. His words were like a magic needle that stabilized the sea, making many people feel a little relieved. It can be seen that he still has a certain say among the survivors.

"However, our forces have not yet been fully integrated. If we launch a hasty attack, what if something goes wrong..." A leader from a small force looked worried.

Zhang Shi frowned slightly, glanced around at everyone, and said in a deep voice, "I understand your concerns, but opportunities for battle are fleeting. The Lizardmen must have some ulterior motive by assembling their fleet. If we can strike them a heavy blow now, it will not only disrupt their deployment but also greatly boost the morale of our alliance. As for the integration of forces, we can select the elite from each faction to launch the initial attack, and follow-up troops will quickly follow up to provide support."

After hearing Zhang Shi's words, everyone began to discuss among themselves. Finally, after weighing the pros and cons, the alliance leaders reached a consensus - attack!

Zhang Shi immediately began to deploy his battle plan. According to intelligence provided by the reconnaissance team, the Lizardmen fleet was concentrated in an area known as the "Sea of ​​Fog," a dangerous area shrouded in constant fog and characterized by complex terrain. However, Zhang Shi believed this was precisely where they could exploit the situation.

"We'll send a vanguard, composed of warriors skilled in stealth and surprise attacks, in small speedboats. We'll sneak into the foggy sea first and harass and attack the Lizardman fleet from the flanks to draw their attention," Zhang Shi said, pointing to a location on the map. "Then, the main fleet will split into two teams and simultaneously encircle the Lizardman fleet from the front and rear. Using our magic and long-range weapons, we'll launch a saturation attack on the Lizardman fleet. During the battle, the magicians must coordinate their efforts and cast group magic to maximize the attack range."

The generals of various forces nodded, took orders and left, and began to select their elite troops and prepare for battle.

Zhang Shi personally led the vanguard, heading towards their destination. Their speedboat sped across the sea, its bow cutting through the white waves. Standing at the bow, Zhang Shi stared determinedly ahead, silently calculating the time and distance.

As the vanguard approached the sea of ​​fog, it thickened, nearly blinding them. Zhang Shi, accustomed to such conditions, carefully guided the fleet forward, relying on a panoramic map and keen perception. Suddenly, he sensed a strange movement ahead and immediately gestured for the fleet to stop.

Sure enough, a group of gigantic sea creatures emerged from the mist and pounced on their fleet. These creatures resembled octopuses, but were much larger, and their dancing tentacles stirred up waves.

Since they have been discovered by the sea beast, there is no need for everyone to hide.

"Prepare for battle!" Zhang Shi shouted softly, and the Old Duan in his hand was instantly unsheathed, emitting a cold light.

The vanguard warriors quickly drew their weapons and prepared for battle. The magicians also began chanting spells, preparing to launch magical attacks.

A fierce naval battle unfolded at the edge of the foggy sea. Zhang Shi unleashed Shadow Slash, a crisscrossing black sword energy severing the tentacle of a sea creature. The warriors bravely advanced, maneuvering their boats through the surging waves, engaging the monsters. For a moment, shouts of killing mingled with the roar of magic.

After suffering some casualties, the vanguard finally repelled the marine creature's attack. Zhang Shi didn't pause, continuing to lead the fleet towards the Lizardmen fleet. They had already made quite a commotion, potentially alerting the enemy. Speed ​​was crucial, and they had to march at full speed.

When they finally emerged from the fog and caught sight of the Lizardman fleet, Zhang Shi's heart tightened. The Lizardman fleet lay densely packed on the sea, massive warships radiating a cold metallic sheen, their prows adorned with terrifyingly ferocious statues. Lizardman warriors aboard the ships shuttled back and forth, busily preparing for battle. Fortunately, due to the turbulent seas and the constant undercurrents, the Lizardmen hadn't noticed the sounds of the recent battle.

Zhang Shi took a deep breath and, as planned, led the vanguard to quietly approach the flank of the Lizardmen fleet. When they were close enough, he gave the order and the vanguard immediately launched an attack.

Various magic skills and arrows rained down on the Lizardman fleet, instantly shattering the calm sea. The Lizardmen were caught off guard by this sudden attack and fell into chaos.

Meanwhile, the Alliance's main fleet, acting as planned, rapidly encircled the Lizardmen from both the front and rear. Magicians at the rear of the fleet unleashed powerful group magic. Fireballs, ice storms, lightning spells, and other spells exploded in the Lizardmen fleet, sending showers of fire and water spraying across the fleet.

The Lizardmen quickly reacted and began to organize a counterattack. Their warships adjusted their positions, firing their magic cannons and crossbows at the Alliance fleet. The two sides engaged in a fierce battle, and the sea was filled with smoke and flames.

At the critical moment of the battle, Zhang Shi discovered the command ship of the Lizardman fleet. He suddenly decided to go all out.

"Follow me!" Zhang Shi shouted and led the vanguard team towards the command ship.

The lizardmen's guards sensed Zhang Shi's intentions and gathered around him, trying to stop him. But Zhang Shi showed no fear. His swordsmanship became increasingly fierce, and each swing of his sword could take the life of a lizardman.

In the fierce battle, Zhang Shi gradually approached the command ship. He used the Shadow Step and quickly jumped onto the deck of the command ship.

The lizardman leader on the command ship was a silver lizard. Unlike the other lizardmen, he wore a simple but obviously high-quality armor and held a green orb in his hand. Seeing Zhang Shi's killing spree, he rushed in without any panic. Instead, he directed his guards to surround Zhang Shi.

Frankly speaking, the lizardman guards were exceptionally skilled, definitely stronger than Zhang Shi. Furthermore, they attacked in tandem, unleashing numerous lethal moves. Had it not been for his superior equipment, Zhang Shi would have been defeated long ago.

The two lizardman guards were only wearing simple leather armor and holding a large scimitar similar to a ring in their hands. Their movements were as fast as lightning. Zhang Shi spent a long time trying but not only did he not hurt any of their hairs, but he was hit by them on the black light armor from time to time, and the sound of "dong dong dong" was heard.

Zhang Shi, possessing a vast array of skills but unable to utilize them, felt frustrated during the fight. As the Lizardmen gathered, Zhang Shi faced the dilemma of being surrounded. Suddenly, a large number of Lizardmen soldiers from the distant battle group were knocked back. A moment later, a golden figure appeared in sight. It was Zhao Feng, who had arrived in time and tore open the encirclement, creating a large hole. Alliance reinforcements also rushed in through this gap, including Ge Dalong, Liu Yu, and others.
