Chapter 523 - So What If You Can"t Die?
"Those 10,000 sea folks are all platinum-tier elites! I must be dreaming," Erland muttered to himself as he watched everything in front of him, his face pale.
What made him even more shocked was that after the 10,000 sea folks appeared, they controlled the water flow to go to Watson"s side and bowed respectfully to him. Under the protection of the many sea folks, a group of human ministers wearing official Holy Dragon Kingdom robes discussed animatedly.
"I did not expect that the magical water pa.s.sage created by His Highness Watson really can teleport people to other parts of the kingdom in an instant."
"This is undoubtedly the southern fortress city. I"ve been here once when I was young, so I remember this place! The scenery here has become much more decadent. It"s even controlled by the elves. When has the Holy Dragon Kingdom ever suffered such treatment? It"s really a shame. Fortunately, we are here. Otherwise, I don"t know what this city will look like under the elve"s control."
Some of the ministers who appeared with the sea folks expressed sympathy for the humans in the city, while some looked indignant. They rubbed their fists together and were ready to launch a heavy attack on the elves.
"Those people look extraordinary. Could they be the higher-ups of the Holy Dragon Kingdom?" Seeing the sea folks, some of the elven soldiers in charge of guarding the city could not help but mutter.
"Why are humans with the sea folks? Aren"t they supposed to be enemies?" the other elves chimed in.
The sea folks and humans had a feud. Humans often captured the sea folks members as slaves, and the sea folks would also use songs to lure sailors out of the s.h.i.+p, dragging them into the sea to kill them. That was no secret.
However, the sea folks seemed to be living in harmony with the humans. That surprised the elves, and their expressions turned ugly. The sea folks in front of them seemed very powerful, and they were not their match. If the sea folks and the humans had joined forces, their plan to attack the Holy Dragon Kingdom and destroy them would most likely fail.
"Stop joking. The humans are with the sea folks. What is going on? Forget it; I can"t be bothered with that now. I want to kill all the Holy Dragon Kingdom soldiers. Since the Holy Dragon Kingdom has bribed the sea folks, let"s kill them too. First Legion, listen up! Don"t be afraid of death. Kill those people in front of me! We can"t die. No matter how powerful the people are, as long as we persevere, we will be able to kill them. "
While the elves were still in shock, Kidd covered his lower body and waved the weapon in his hand with great difficulty. He spoke loudly with a voice surrounded by a combat aura.
Even though they did not understand why the sea folks had so many platinum-tier elites, it was not the time to be concerned about those things.
"For the glory of the Elven Kingdom, for His Majesty, we will fight to the end."
"Fight! Fight! Fight!"
Under Kidd"s instigation, the elves" fear for Watson and the others diminished. They had consumed the Spring of Life and gained eternal life. Even though their strength was forever fixed at the moment they drank the Spring of Life, the rewards were huge. Even if they were facing platinum-tier elites, as long as they died a hundred times, they would be able to cause a lot of damage. If they died thousands of times, they could even kill their opponents.
After all, the platinum-tier warriors were also living beings; they would tire and have weaknesses.
The elven soldiers guarding the refugee camp followed Kidd"s voice and walked forward. They gathered in front of him. At the same time, many elven soldiers appeared in the streets and alleys. Those soldiers carried longbows on their backs. Their eyes were sharp, and their bodies were covered with wild totem patterns. Some were crouching in the streets, while others were standing on the roofs. They began to draw their bows and arrows, ready to shoot at the seafaring members.
More and more elf soldiers appeared and transformed into powerful magical beasts. Their huge claws rubbed against the ground as they charged toward the sea folks. For a moment, the entire fortress city was filled with the roars of magical beasts.
Roar!
"Protect His Highness Watson."
The voices of the sea folks rang out almost simultaneously as the roars of the magical beasts. One by one, the sea folks waved their fishtails and held their tridents as they charged toward the elf druids who had transformed into magical beasts. The rolling seawater and the flying dust made the battle between the mermaids and the tree spirit like a magnificent epic, pulling people back to some ancient era.
Watson was standing on the submarine, watching that scene with a calm expression as if he was a G.o.d overlooking the world.
Under his gaze, the battle between the two sides suddenly erupted, presenting a one-sided situation. Most of the magical beasts that the elves transformed into were gold-tier, with a small percentage being silver-tier. In front of the platinum-tier sea folks, magical beasts of that level were simply not enough. Usually, a trident that carried the power of wind and thunder would fall, crus.h.i.+ng several magical beasts at the same time. The storm that stirred could even blow away other magical beasts within a radius of dozens of meters.
More than 10,000 sea folks attacked one person at a time, and almost all of the elves had been eliminated. Most of the elves hiding on the streets or the roofs of the houses could not even shoot arrows at the sea folks. The waves deflected their bows and arrows. A small portion of the arrows landed on the sea folks, leaving only shallow wounds.
"Everyone, fight harder. As long as you can kill those sea folks, I will reward each of you with 100 gold coins. If you can kill more than ten sea folks, I will propose to His Majesty for you to become my a.s.sistant."
Kidd was also among the elves that were attacking the sea folks. As he spoke, he pulled a trident stuck in his chest and threw it away. Looking at the wound on his chest that was rapidly recovering, his eyes greedily swept across the sea folks. He could see that the armor and weapons of the sea folks were of gold-tier. Those precious items would be his if he could kill the sea folks.
"I"ll let you guys fight for a while. When your energy is exhausted, it"ll be our turn."
At that moment, the number of elves that appeared on the streets was not less than the sea folks. The number continued to increase as they rushed toward the sea folks. Even though the sea folks had the power to kill them with one move, they could not hold back their numbers.
Many ants could kill an elephant. That was the scene at that moment.
A soldier at the forefront was suddenly pierced through the back of his head by two sharp arrows. His body fell limply into the golden stream, dyeing the water red.
That sea folks soldier fought bravely and killed the elves in front of him hundreds of times in a short period. Finally, due to his lack of stamina, he was ambushed and killed by more elves who had revived and rushed forward.
"We killed the first sea folk!"
"A platinum-tier elite? He"s so average."
The morale of the elves was high after killing the sea folk warrior. They sneered and looked at the other sea folks around them, including the Holy Dragon Kingdom ministers. The sea folks and the ministers had ugly expressions on their faces.
When the elves killed the first sea folk elite, they could kill a second one. The sea folks would become weaker as time pa.s.sed, but the elves would not suffer any losses. That would be their victory.
The elves looked excited. Just as they were about to take down the rest of the sea folk warriors in one go, an arrow pierced through the back of their heads. The sea folk warriors who had fallen into the water shook their bodies and got out of the water. They pulled the arrow from the back of their heads and threw it into the water. It seemed like they were unharmed.
"As a platinum-tier sea folk elite, it is too embarra.s.sing to lose to that group of inferior tree spirit seeds."
The surrounding sea folk warriors were not surprised at their companions" actions. Instead, they were mocking them. The sea folk warriors had a look of shame.
"What"s going on? Why can"t the sea folks die?"
Kidd looked at the scene in front of him in a daze. His mouth was wide open. Not only did he stop talking, but the elves who had been clamoring had also stopped talking. The dead sea folks had been revived. What was going on? Had those sea folks also consumed water from the Spring of Life?
While the elves were shocked, the sea folks who had just died turned their heads and looked at them coldly.
"Isn"t it great that you"re not dead? You made me embarra.s.s myself in front of Young Master Watson just now.. In return, I won"t let you die so easily later."
