Chapter 963 - Chapter 963 Chapter 963 Clearing the Way of Retreat

Chapter 963: Chapter 963: Clearing the Way of Retreat Chapter 963: Chapter 963: Clearing the Way of Retreat The box was opened, revealing items with a skeleton emblem on them. Some looked like grenades, while others were steel arrows, with varying shapes.

“Brothers, we’ve endured for so long, thinking we had no way to deal with them, let’s show them how formidable we are.”

The members of Starfire quickly got a hold of these items.

“What’s this, another secret weapon of Starfire?”

The battle had been full of twists and turns. Originally, they thought that surrounded, Starfire would definitely not hold up, since fighting at sea and on land are completely different concepts.

Most players still lacked the ability to fight underwater at this stage, and it was only because of the Starfire super ship that Starfire was as impregnable as a fortress.

But this was land, and faced with the human wave tactics, Starfire was bound to be overwhelmed.

Indeed, the walls of Starfire came close to collapsing several times, but Li Yao’s presence turned the tide each time.

Even now, to break through such powerful and extensive magic, it was truly somewhat unimaginable.

Though defeated in the water, both the audience and the commentators knew that Starfire’s ammunition was running low and within half an hour, they would be overwhelmed by the human wave tactics.

Under such perilous circumstances, Li Yao finally ordered the first and second mysterious carriages to be opened.

Feng Yi chuckled, “Just watch and you’ll know.”

The commentator from the Americas laughed, “Witch, stop being mysterious. It’s not just us; all the viewers are interested in what’s left in the carriages. How about you enlighten everyone? After all, the news can’t reach the battlefield.”

Feng Yi shook her head, “You should know, I didn’t participate in this battle, so I’m not clear about the specific plans.”

Although everyone was disappointed, they couldn’t force the information out of Feng Yi if she chose not to disclose it.

At this moment, Starfire was also ready.

“At my command, counterattack.”

Following the Angel’s command, all ballistae had been fired, and the Starfire players also hurled out grenade-like objects in their hands.

Puff, puff, puff, puff, puff…

Clusters of green shock waves appeared on the water surface, immediately turning it green, and as the river flowed, it spread even faster.

“Damn, it’s paralytic poison…” Before the Naga could finish shouting, their body stiffened like a rock and they sank into the water.

Suddenly, whether they were smashed into the water or gathering on the surface to attack Starfire, the bodies of the United Army players turned green, and one by one, they sank like statues into the river.

Starfire continued to throw the toxic bombs, while the roaring ballistae polluted the farther reaches of the river.

“Retreat, retreat, don’t touch the toxins,” the leaders of several guilds yelled as they watched wave after wave of their members sink into the depths.

The toxin was pervasive, and due to their aquatic nature and the special way they obtained oxygen, the toxin spread rapidly throughout their bodies.

The viewers could see Naga, Murlocs, and Lizardmen with various expressions and poses, looking as if frozen, with green bubbles rising as they sank to the riverbed.

After three minutes, a dense mass of corpses floated to the surface and drifted down the river.

“Prairie Fire, you are ruthless.”

The Lizardman Shaman who ran the fastest had red eyes, this sudden strike was too unexpected, the toxin spread very fast, and they were completely unprepared. Most of them couldn’t even move a finger and drowned in the river.

The densely packed United Army had now turned into densely packed floating corpses. It was indeed ironic that aquatic creatures drowned in water.

Li Yao still stood atop the Arrow Tower, his giant stature overlooking the entire river surface. He spoke indifferently, “With so many of you surrounding and attacking Starfire, I had to be merciless or I would have been wiped out by you a long time ago. This harbor belongs to Starfire, I’ve claimed it, and no one can stop me.”

“What kind of toxin is this?” the Lizardman Shaman asked through gritted teeth.

“Telling you now makes no difference. This is a neurotoxin specifically targeting aquatic creatures. You also know the situation of the Dark Camp, most of our territories are barren, while the coasts are dominated by naga and murlocs. So I had the Alchemists’ Association in Undercity research it, and this is the result. I bought some for this battle, considering it a preliminary experiment, and the results seem quite satisfactory.”

“Specifically to deal with the aquatic race?” the Lizardman Shaman wondered.

“Indeed, the toxin has limited effects on land creatures–it’s just a mild anesthetic that, at most, affects agility. But for aquatic creatures, it’s a lethal poison. Once poisoned, not to mention fingers, even organs will instantly turn to stone-like statues; forget the whole body, even if your heart stops, imagine what the outcome would be.”

Li Yao’s words not only intimidated the Lizardman Shaman and his tribesmen but also caused a drastic change in the expressions of the aquatic race’s sub-dimensional forces that were watching the battle.

Looking at the Dark Camp, their gazes were filled with anger, but even more so with fear and wariness.

In fact, those aquatic creatures were preparing to launch a second invasion, but seeing this toxin, there was no need to deliberate or plan–they immediately rejected the idea.

The King gave a thumbs-up and said, “We definitely want to buy some of this good stuff, the price is negotiable.”

The Chieftain nodded and said, “We are in need of a batch of resources to build our defenses. If you are willing to trade, that would be perfect.”

“No problem, it’s just some resources. We don’t lack anything else, we have plenty of resources,” the King said with a generous wave of his hand.

The sub-dimensional bigwigs, however, had somber expressions on their faces.

Seeing the Lizardman Shaman completely intimidated, Li Yao secretly chuckled and couldn’t help but admire the Queen’s strategy.

Now, none of the factions wanted to launch a large-scale war; they needed time to recover and grow stronger.

But they received information that the aquatic creatures were getting restless, so they spent a large amount of resources to refine this small amount of toxin. In fact, not to mention Undercity, even the Dark Camp could not refine too much of this toxin, and the stronger the aquatic creatures were, the less effective it was against them.

This tactic was nothing more than saber-rattling to scare the tiger and rustling the grass to startle the snakes.

Now it seemed to have succeeded.

But these were not Li Yao’s concerns; his main priority was ensuring Starfire’s safe retreat.

“The ammunition has almost run out,” the Unparalleled beauty reported.

“Hmm, then open the sluice gates and prepare to retreat,” Li Yao said.

Then the Starfire players turned the wheel, and the wooden walls downstream collapsed with a crash, falling into the river and forming a natural dock.

One by one, assault boats were pushed into the water, and the first group of Starfire players swiftly boarded the vessels.

Then the remaining wagons, one by one, crates were lifted onto the boats…
