Chapter 352: The Wonders of the Tide Domain, Runic Arrows

Initially, in this swamp, his strength had already been reduced to less than half. But now, with the added weakening effect of this weak magic array, it was further diminished by 80%, leaving him with only about one-tenth of his original power.

The magical energy that used to surge within him in the past now appeared to be sluggish and feeble, no matter how hard he tried to harness it.

Similarly, Alice discovered that her singing was greatly suppressed. She could no longer easily control the mountain trolls. Her body felt as if it was weighed down by sacks of sand, making her mana murky and hard to move.

Affected by this, the mountain trolls quickly regained their senses and, under Queto’s command, charged again.

Simultaneously, hundreds of Deceivers with iron masks also joined the battle, pushing forward twenty peculiarly designed crossbow carts from the back.

These crossbow carts had a unique design; the head part was a box-shaped device divided into twenty compartments. Each compartment was loaded with dozens of arrows, and their triangular arrowheads refracted a chilling gleam under the sunlight.

With the sound of vibrating bowstrings, arrows were launched all at once, raining down on the Crown of the Ocean’s army like a shower.

Whoosh—

The piercing sound of metal arrowheads cutting through the air was all around.

The arrow rain covered the entire cave entrance. The mechanical force and kinetic energy of the arrows allowed many to pierce through the scales of the Naga Berserkers, deeply embedding into their flesh, hitting vital spots, making them look like porcupines.

Just from one volley, the defense line showed multiple breaches. Over fifty Naga Berserkers were injured, with nearly twenty dying on the spot.

Ji Chen’s expression turned grave.

These rain crossbow carts, which contained a significant amount of technology, were typically only armed by the armies of kingdoms and principalities. They are basically controlled items outside, and even the Lizardmen couldn’t craft them.

Where did these so-called Deceivers get so many?

Seeing more and more of his troops getting injured or killed, Ji Chen could no longer hold back.

He ordered Benbo to lead the Dragon Blood Murlocs to attack these crossbow carts and destroy them.

Commanding the troops, Benbo slowly raised his head.

He raised his trident, tilting its tip towards the sky.

Behind him, hundreds of Dragon Blood Murlocs did the same.

With a low shout, the Murlocs took a few steps forward, and hundreds of tridents were thrown. Drawing sharp parabolas in the air, they were thrown accurately towards the rain crossbow carts.

The range of the tridents far exceeded anyone’s expectations.

The steel trident tips struck directly on the box-type launch devices, and the heavy kinetic energy caused cracks, shattering them on the spot.

Twenty crossbow carts were immediately destroyed in this volley, and the remaining ones also suffered damage, reducing their effectiveness.

However, the targets of this volley weren’t just the rain crossbow carts but also the Deceivers controlling them.

Under the attack, the metal-made crossbow carts were shattered, not to mention the flesh and blood Deceivers.

On the spot, over thirty iron-masked Deceivers were pinned to the ground, letting out a brief wail before succumbing.

Seeing this, the other Deceivers were startled. They hadn’t expected the Murlocs’ tridents to have such a range. They quickly retreated several tens of meters, only feeling safe once they were at a considerable distance.

In the rear, Queto observed this scene, mocking the silent Silver Masked Deceiver in his heart, feeling much relieved.

It would be unfair if only my side were to suffer casualties; it would be much fairer if everyone faced the same.

The battle between the two sides was extremely intense.

At this narrow entrance, countless bodies had been left behind, forming a small mountain of corpses.

The power gap between the Naga Berserkers and the Mountain Trolls wasn’t too significant, but under the powerful long-range attacks of the Dragon Blood Murlocs, the Mountain Trolls suffered far more casualties than the Naga Berserkers.

Almost every time a Naga Berserker died, three Mountain Trolls would also fall.

The one-to-three casualty ratio made Queto furious once again.

This damn Lord of Glory, their resistance is so tough and resilient. Even with three times the number of trolls attacking, they still can’t break through their defenses; instead, they’ve suffered so many losses.

Even the soldiers of the Maple Principality wouldn’t be able to achieve this level of success.

As he watched, the weak magic barrier had already been active for half an hour, and if they were influenced by that song again, there was no way they could break through.

“The time has come.”

At this moment, Queto suddenly heard the Silver Masked Deceiver say.

He couldn’t help but be stunned, what time?

But he saw a faint red light appear in the cloudy eyes beneath the mask.

Meanwhile, in the expansive underground chamber, the ten nearly lifeless Marshland Dragons resting in the corner had their souls withered to the brink, and their life essence had utterly faded away.

Ji Chen, who noticed this, just glanced at them and didn’t pay any more attention.

However, he didn’t notice that these ten or so Marshland Dragons, like zombies, slowly stood up, and their white eyes displayed a strange red light, exactly the same as the Silver Masked Deceiver at this moment.

After standing up, they slowly moved their limbs, gradually picking up speed.

Their goal was very clear, heading towards the defenses of the Crown of the Ocean.

At this moment, Ji Chen also noticed the commotion from behind and turned to look.

His pupils suddenly contracted.

Resurrection?

Without much thought, he shouted loudly, “Stop these Marshland Dragons!”

Upon hearing this, hundreds of Naga Berserkers immediately turned around to block them with their bodies.

However, the Marshland Dragons, whose speed had already picked up, couldn’t be easily stopped. Naga Berserkers were knocked aside, and the Dragon Blood Murlocs couldn’t stop them either. They could only watch as the Marshland Dragons charged towards the entrance defenses..
