Chapter 54: Pirates who are easy to fight
Umibozu is a giant sea monster that has transformed into a monster and can manipulate water elemental power to a certain extent.
This kind of monster is a huge threat to ships in the sea, but on land, their deterrent power and lethality are several levels lower.
Driven by the whistle of the Man from the Clouds, these sea beasts launched an attack on the ships of the Shogunate army.
The shogunate army dispatched more than one hundred small boats, more than thirty large ships and one giant warship.
The shogunate army's warships were discovered by the pirates as expected, and they certainly would not sit on the island and wait to die.
However, the shogunate army and the pirates of Kaigi Island have been fighting for many years, so they naturally know how to deal with these pirates.
The general simply swung his sword, and the intense cold air instantly froze a large area of the sea surface. The two sea masters had no time to react and were frozen in place.
Then two lightning spears pierced through the body of the sealord and nailed him to the sea. General Kujo raised his eyebrows and asked the messenger to signal a good job in the direction of Lian Lingyi. The remaining sealords also began to flee in a hurry under the guidance of the whistle.
According to the pre-set plan, Ren Lian Lingyi ordered the ships of the cruising fleet to maneuver quickly to the side, while the main fleet quickly rushed towards the island where the pirates' lair was located.
Before the main fleet arrived at the designated location, a rain of arrows wrapped in water elements rose on the island. This was an offensive launched by the opposing magician in cooperation with the archer troops.
It seems that the enemy has at least 500 archers, which is a relatively large proportion of archers.
The shogunate army was naturally unwilling to be outdone. The shrine maidens accompanying the army and the onmyoji affiliated with the Tenryo Bugyo began to open elemental shields.
After confirming the location of the enemy's archer troops, Ren Lian Lingyi began to counterattack.
"As a monster, my elemental power is still abundant." Ren Lian Lingyi smiled and waved his hand, and then all the archers of the shogunate army on the cruising ships were surprised to find that their arrows were covered with a layer of thunder elemental power.
Then……
"Follow my command, volley, ready, fire!"
"put!"
The transmission of sound delayed the delivery of the order, but it didn't matter. Ren Lian Lingyi looked at the arrow he shot and took the lead.
Then he narrowed his eyes, and a large amount of elemental power was mobilized from the air and wrapped around the arrow.
"One becomes six, the Lightning Spear Formation."
Although one turned into six, with the arrow shot by Ren Lian Lingyi himself as the core, there were thirty-seven huge lightning spears among the densely packed thousand arrows in the air. There were also so many huge things like meteors among the thousand purple arrows, which were obviously not simple at first glance.
With explosions and columns of smoke rising, the enemy archer troops suffered heavy losses.
However, what caused the greatest damage to them was not this round of rain of arrows and lightning spears, but the elemental reaction that followed.
There was an overload with the fire element in the camp, an electric shock with the water element, and an intensified reaction with the grass element, and various elemental reactions led to secondary reactions.
Since the rain of arrows was divided into several batches, the elemental reactions could not be stopped at all, especially the electric shock reaction which seemed to have the weakest damage. However, this reaction actually caused the greatest casualties to personnel.
When the main force of the shogunate army rushed to the island where their lair was, there were less than a hundred archers able to provide assistance to the pirates.
By the time Ren Lian Lingyi and his men set foot on the island where the pirates' lair was located, the battle was already over. All the pirates, including the pirate leader who controlled the sea, had been completely killed.
Several shogunate soldiers were leading dogs to search for possible pirate remnants.
When he saw Ren Lian Lingyi and the others coming down, he bowed to them.
Ren Lian Lingyi ignored these guys. He still had to check the damage caused by his lightning spear formation.
To be honest, this was the first time he had played such a big game. It would have been fine if he had used his ability as a superior leader-level elemental creator to mobilize the elemental power in the air on a large scale, but this time he had to use the normal pure elemental power stored in his body, otherwise the power of those thirty-seven huge lightning spears would not have been so great.
These elemental forces that have been refined and purified by monsters are called demonic power by Inazuma, but the difference between ordinary elemental power and demonic power is actually just the difference in cohesion.
Moreover, the original gods can also condense elemental forces similar to demonic powers.
However, demonic power can be transformed. According to the information found by Ren Lian Lingyi, after being promoted to a big demon (LV70+), the demonic power will undergo a transformation. At this time, not only will the power of the moves be greatly enhanced, but various wonderful uses will also be born.
For example, changing one's body shape, prolonging life and resisting death, weaving magic, or accepting offerings.
In Inazuma, only big monsters can accept offerings. Even though Renren Lingyi is now the Lord of Renren and nominally accepts offerings from the entire Renren Island, the reality is that he cannot get real offerings (faith) and cannot use them. He can only take some material offerings (tributes).
The real offerings all went to Naruto-gami, but this is certain . Even if they became great monsters, such real offerings would have to be shared with Naruto-gami. It is said that the distribution plan between great monsters and Naruto-gami is 10:90.
Back to business, Ren Lian Lingyi asked his adjutant to take the archers back to report the situation to the general, while he went to check the enemy's archer positions.
He had just led a group of archers to fire two rounds of arrows from five kilometers away, but only the first round detonated the lightning spear formation; the second round was just ordinary elemental arrows.
Ren Lian Lingyi walked to a cliff, which was the position of the enemy archer troops.
In the general materialistic world, the maximum range of a bow and arrow is two hundred meters, but in the world of Teyvat, a world of advanced martial arts, even ordinary soldiers can easily shoot a distance of five or six hundred meters.
The holder of the Eye of God can even bless the elemental power and easily shoot it several kilometers away.
Moreover, if there is a qualified archer leading the way, even the arrows shot by ordinary soldiers will be pulled and the shooting distance will be greatly increased.
For example, the archers of the shogunate army who were pulled by Ren Lian Lingyi and shot five kilometers away.
The enemy's archer position is now densely packed with arrows. A team of logistics warriors are recycling ordinary arrows, and from time to time they find a pirate who is not dead yet.
Ren Lian Lingyi passed the corpses and arrows and found the place where the lightning gun exploded. The damage caused by the lightning gun formed large and small pits on the ground.
"The Thunder Spear Formation is a bit too powerful to deal with these ordinary troops." Ren Lian Lingyi thought while stroking his chin, "But it is very effective against the enemy, and the deviation is not large. Under the guidance of my mental power, I can accurately strike the target I want to strike."
There were traces of explosions at the places where the Blade Lingyi Thunder Spear Array struck. These were the locations of the bonfires and torches in the pirate camps. These were also the gathering places for these pirate archers.
You ask why they are near torches... Do you know what fire element attachment is?
After all, the simplest way to attach the fire element is to wrap the arrow with oiled cloth and then light it on fire. They bring it close to the torch to cause an evaporation reaction.
