Chapter 792: 383: Heavy casualties! Yan Mo’s heart is bleeding!

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

Nearly two hundred chain shots spun and whirled through the air, tearing through it with an eerie and terrifying howling sound.

The Rock Demon heard this strange noise, along with the looming black shadows, and was instantly filled with horror,

he concentrated his spiritual power, focusing on one of the chain shots and suddenly saw it very clearly.

Two iron balls, each weighing over a dozen pounds, connected by an iron chain, were rapidly flying toward them.

The Rock Demon felt a tingling sensation on his scalp and cold sweat burst out on his back.

Although he didn’t know what chain shots were, he could tell at a glance how terrifyingly lethal they were to a warship’s sails.

At that moment, the two fleets were only about five hundred meters apart, and the chain shot’s lethal range was several times larger.

So, what would happen in just a while? It was all too predictable.

But, the Rock Demon had no way to counter it. If it were a single person, he could swiftly dodge, but this was a warship, a sail warship at that, and changing direction was difficult, let alone a rapid evasion.

They could only resign to fate!

The distance of five hundred meters was closed in the blink of an eye!

"Bang bang bang bang..."

The two hundred chain shots, howling and whirling, suddenly smashed into the Rock Demon’s fleet.

A series of loud booms echoed.

Then, a scene of unimaginable horror unfolded.

The chain shots swept over the crowd, severing heads or bisecting bodies of everyone in their path.

Without even a chance for pain, lives were snuffed out instantly, blood spurting wildly.

The chain shots flew over the ships’ sails, tearing apart everything in their way, be it masts or sails, to shreds.

The thick masts, which seemed incredibly sturdy and difficult to chop through even with swords,

were instantly bisected when hit by the chain shots.

"Bang bang bang..."

One after another, the masts broke and toppled.

The Rock Demon closed his eyes in intense agony.

Although he had somewhat anticipated the consequences of this chain shot attack, the reality still cut deeply to the bone.

It was too terrible, a complete mess!

"Swoosh..."

Suddenly, a whistling sound arose, and a chain shot came hurtling toward the mast behind him.

The Rock Demon’s flagship was very large, exceeding a thousand tons, and its masts were particularly thick. But it was futile; they stood no chance against the cutting force of the chain shots.

From the start of the battle until now, the Rock Demon’s flagship had not been hit, as if it had been blessed.

However, that luck had just run out.

"Ah!" The Rock Demon roared with fury, lifting up his dark gold war sabre and chopping down fiercely.

In an instant, the chain of the incoming chain shot was severed, and the two iron balls shot out in opposite directions.

"Boom..." One of them crashed into a warship hundreds of meters away.

But the Rock Demon could no longer care about that, as he rapidly climbed up the mast to assess the damage from this round of attack.

...

The impact of the chain shot attack was simply astounding, particularly at this few hundred meters range, against such a dense fleet, it was like doling out free experience and decapitations.

Suo Lun, floating hundreds of meters in the air, saw everything clearly.

The hit rate of this round of two hundred chain shots was almost over twenty percent, because the Rock Demon Fleet was just too densely packed. Even if the shots didn’t hit the front ships, they could still strike the ones behind.

And once hit, the consequences were fatal.

At best, sails were completely shredded; at worst, masts were broken.

This round of strikes hit more than fifty of the Rock Demon’s warships.

Moreover, almost every one of them was severely damaged.

Of course, the Rock Demon had over a thousand warships, and with the previous damage included, only about a hundred or so warships were damaged—a mere ten percent or so, not fatal.

But what was terrifying was that dozens of warships either lost their sails or had damaged sails, and suddenly the whole warship lost control; they either veered off course, carried by the wind, or simply spun in place.

The Rock Demon’s fleet of a thousand ships kept a relatively small distance between them for easier command, and the entire fleet advanced in a fixed direction. Now, with dozens of ships disrupted, the rhythm and speed of the entire fleet were affected.

Originally, the Rock Demon Fleet was faster than Suo Lun Fleet, catching up about a hundred meters every eight minutes.

Now, the speeds of the two fleets were surprisingly the same, and the Rock Demon Fleet was even a bit slower.

This was truly terrifying!

It meant that the two fleets would always maintain a distance of about five hundred meters. Then, the Rock Demon would never be able to reach Suo Lun’s fleet, while Suo Lun’s chain shot attacks continued relentlessly.

The consequences of this situation were unimaginable to the Rock Demon.

If the chain shot attacks continued for another twenty or thirty rounds, Rock Demon’s fleet would be completely ruined.

"Change formation, change formation!" The Rock Demon ordered, directing the entire fleet to scatter.

And he had the fifty thousand-strong Rock Pirate Fleet split into two groups, one on each flank, to quickly encircle the Suo Lun Fleet.

However, this was a naval battle, and the Rock Demon had no aerial forces; any command had to be passed down in rounds.

With over a thousand warships stretched out across the sea for dozens of miles, it took a very long time for the orders to be fully conveyed.

Moreover, with the fleet changing formation and the fifty thousand ships breaking away from the main line to encircle from both flanks, the implementation of the entire tactical maneuver would take an unknown amount of time.

During this process, the Rock Demon’s fleet was completely in a state of passive defense, taking hits.

Meanwhile, the Suo Lun Fleet seized this opportunity, not only refraining from moving away but instead continued to approach the Rock Demon’s fleet.

Closing within four hundred meters!

At this distance, the Rock Demon’s fleet was still only able to take hits and could not counterattack. He had no weapons in his arsenal capable of reaching beyond four hundred meters.
