Chapter 453: Enemy army annihilated!

On the sea, the fleets of both sides were now completely engaged in battle.

Suo Lun finally witnessed the ferocity of the Rockblade Pirates, and to describe them as fearless was simply an understatement.

That kind of savagery, bred in their blood, was etched into their very genes.

Upon hearing the sound of the horn, this bunch of people transformed entirely, from Rockfolk into Rock Pirates.

Furthermore, Suo Lun now perceived the formidable aspect of the Rock Pirate skiffs—on the sea, they moved with unmatched agility, darting here and there. Under the control of the Rock Pirates, they obeyed their commands like extensions of their own limbs, striking wherever directed.

And what was most terrifying was that ordinary military troops would charge where their numbers were fewest.

But Rock Pirates would charge where the enemy was most numerous.

So it was common to see a Rock Ship approach, latch onto an enemy vessel with its iron teeth, and then a few, or even just one or two Rock Pirates would madly board and charge onto the large enemy ships.

A couple of individuals daring to charge tens or hundreds of men.

This was not just an absence of fear of death but rather a sprint towards wherever death loomed.

According to Rock Pirate tradition, the first rule was always to throw oneself at the enemy in the thickest numbers.

When death stood before them, they would leap fiercely onto it, either to kill death itself or be killed by it.

Dying on the battlefield was considered the ultimate honor; after reincarnation, one would become an even stronger warrior.

Moreover, whether it was climbing warships or churning in the waves, these people moved as if on flat ground.

Thus, in a short span of time, the brutally fierce Rock Pirates had gained a decisive advantage.

Of course, the navy of Luan Yang City had its strengths—organization, obedience and crossbow volleys.

Their naval force’s individual fighting capacity was not great, but even aboard ships, they would form up and fight, relying on collective strength for combat.

And the most lethal of all were their crossbows, which caused significant injury to the Rock Pirates.

However, seven thousand Rock Pirates against five thousand Luan Yang City naval troops resulted in an overwhelming victory.

In just a moment, the formation of the Luan Yang City Fleet had been completely broken by the Queen’s Island Fleet.

Soldiers of Luan Yang City’s navy fell into the sea one after another.

The Luan Yang City Fleet was in full retreat, with ship after ship being captured.

...

"City Lord, hurry, escape while we’re not yet fully surrounded. We’ll cover your retreat, retreat immediately back to Luan Yang City," the naval commander shouted loudly.

Tuli Ming saw on the flagship, the fierce Rock Ships like a pack of wolves, tearing fiercely as they were about to breach the defenses.

"Retreat..." Tuli Ming commanded.

Over a dozen ships, protecting his flagship, sped away at full sail toward the northwest.

"Where did these Rock Pirates come from? Weren’t all the Rock Pirates at Thunder Archipelago?" Lord Luan Yang Tuli Ming exclaimed hoarsely.

"I don’t know," replied the naval commander.

It was night, but the sea was a chaotic battlefield ablaze with light.

"My lady, the enemy flagship is attempting to escape," a Yan Female Warrior reported.

Queen Yan Chuo turned to Suo Lun and asked, "Should we pursue?"

Suo Lun replied, "I am not skilled in commanding a battlefield, the decision is yours."

Immediately, Yan Chuo gave her orders, "First, second, third divisions, disengage from battle and pursue the enemy ships!"

Then, the Yan Female Warrior sounded a special horn over the sea.

Quickly, the first, second, and third divisions of the fleet withdrew from combat in an orderly manner, while the Rock Pirates behind them promptly filled the gaps.

In hardly any time at all, the three divisions, totaling forty-five ships and three thousand Rock Pirates, had assembled and ferociously pursued Lord Luan Yang’s flagship.

And as the flagship of the Queen’s Island Fleet, it gave relentless chase as well.

The remaining four thousand Rock Pirates, along with three thousand Rockfolk and over a hundred ships, continued the fierce battle at sea.

...

Although the Luan Yang City Fleet was fast, it was no match for the speed of the Rock Pirate Fleet.

The forty-five agile Rock Pirate skiffs, fast and fleet, took less than two hours to completely catch up with Lord Luan Yang Tuli Ming’s fleeing fleet.

Moreover, the Rock Pirates weren’t in a rush to engage in battle, but rather spread out, forming a crescent, gradually encircling and closing in!

This maneuver was executed with the same precision as a well-trained pack of wolves.

Two hours later, the forty-five Yandao Warships had completely surrounded the escaping dozen or so warships of Lord Luan Yang Tuli Ming.

Lord Luan Yang Tuli Ming stood at the prow and called out, "May I ask, which Island Master of the Archipelagos of Rock is responsible? I have no grievances with your island, in fact, we have had many dealings. Why pursue to the bitter end?"

By then, nearly four hours had passed since the sea battle began, and daylight was breaking.

The naval conflict at the other location had ended, with all but the escaping dozen ships of Luan Yang City’s fleet sunk.

Suo Lun stepped to the prow, appearing in the view of Tuli Ming and Turing Chen.

Instantly, Turing Chen’s color drained from his face as he cried out in shock, "Suo Lun, you... you were supposed to be dead! Weren’t you killed by Yan Mo?"

Suo Lun responded, "I was thrown into an abyss by Yan Mo, but that didn’t mean I was dead."

Turing Chen gnashed his teeth in frustration. Even such couldn’t kill Suo Lun—his life really wasn’t ordinarily tough.

Suo Lun continued, "Prince Turing, I had no idea that my net would catch such a fish as you, truly an unexpected delight. By the way, what happened to your hand?"

Turing Chen looked around at the sea, the dozen or so ships of Luan Yang City already completely surrounded.

Not only that, but the Queen’s Island Fleet, having finished their battle, was also converging on the scene.

This battle was completely lost for them; there was no chance left for a comeback.
