Chapter 3131: It's Nothing But Killing
The warships' attacks were dense, killing large numbers of Bloody rat generals on the island. Blood dyed the island red, even staining the surrounding ocean.
But even so, the Bloody rat generals showed no intention of charging off the island.
They would rather suffer huge losses than rush out to directly engage the Divine Rune Army.
A thousand four-winged rat generals spread their wings, weaving a blood screen to resist the attacks.
The island's only six-winged rat general fully spread all six wings. Countless blood-colored patterns lit up on its wings, then shot out countless blood arrows from the patterns.
The blood arrows rained down like a storm towards the warship formation.
Each drop of blood rain contained shocking power at the seventh-level Dao Venerable level.
The warships' attacks were devoured by the blood rain, canceling out much of each other, but in the end the blood rain was slightly stronger.
The divine runes on the warships continued to glow. At this time, Lin Moyu saw generals on the warships raising their battle blades.
The next moment, the Divine Rune Army troops mobilized.
They rushed out of the warships, forming battle arrays and charging towards the island.
These Divine Rune soldiers were only at fourth-level Dao Venerable. In single combat, they couldn't even defeat a two-winged rat general.
But now they had formed battle arrays, greatly enhancing their combat power.
A battle array of a hundred Divine Rune soldiers was enough to match a two-winged rat general.
A battle array of ten thousand Divine Rune soldiers could contend with a four-winged rat general.
And now, there were a full two million Divine Rune soldiers here. With a hundred thousand as one battle array, their combat power was approaching seventh-level Dao Venerable.
With the previous bombardment from the warships, over half the Bloody rat generals on the island were already dead or injured.
Now facing attacks from Divine Rune soldiers hundreds of times their number, they had no power to resist.
The generals charged out from behind the battle arrays. They were all seventh-grade, with combat power at the peak of sixth-level Dao Venerable.
With the addition of armor, their combat power could rival seventh-level Dao Venerable.
If they were willing to sacrifice Divine Rune soldiers, their attacks could make even seventh-level Dao Venerables retreat.
The victor of this great battle was already determined from the start.
But Lin Moyu felt something wasn't right. Things shouldn't be this simple.
Su Fengze came to Lin Moyu's side at this time. "Friend Lin, I feel like something's not quite right."
He had originally planned to act independently, looking for opportunities.
But now the situation of this great battle made him feel something was amiss.
All the Bloody Legions on the islands hadn't moved, and hadn't come to support.
They had clearly discovered the situation here, but just weren't moving.
So he hadn't acted rashly either.
Lin Moyu nodded, "Indeed something's not right, but we can't see what yet."
Su Fengze said, "Could this island be a trap set by the Bloody Legion?"
Lin Moyu said, "It's possible."
Su Fengze continued, "Everything we've experienced is actually a reenactment of prehistory. This great battle must have occurred before."
"We just don't know the result, don't know if the Divine Rune Army won in the end, or if the Blood Rats won."
Lin Moyu smiled slightly, "Of course the Divine Rune Army won. If they had lost, you and I wouldn't be standing here."
Su Fengze showed a slightly embarrassed smile, "That's right, that's right. I thought wrong."
Lin Moyu said, "I think in the end the Divine Rune Army won, but also paid a huge price. The victory probably wasn't easy."
"In the whole process, the Divine Rune Army must have had times of defeat. It's impossible for every battle to be a great victory."
"Perhaps this battle... will be a loss!"
Lin Moyu sensed a huge power sweeping up from the depths of the ocean.
This island should be bait.
The Divine Rune Army's strategy of breaking through at one point had actually fallen into the opponent's trap.
Lin Moyu's gaze moved slightly, "Does Friend Su know how to obtain extra rewards?"
Su Fengze looked puzzled, "What are extra rewards?"
Lin Moyu said, "Over-fulfilling tasks allows you to obtain additional rewards. I call them extra rewards."
"The extra rewards are very generous, allowing you to rapidly advance in military rank."
Su Fengze's eyes lit up, "Is Friend Lin able to become a general so quickly because of obtaining extra rewards?"
Lin Moyu nodded with a smile, "That's right."
Su Fengze was very clever and immediately realized the key point, "It seems obtaining extra rewards must be very difficult."
Lin Moyu didn't speak, tacitly agreeing.
Su Fengze said, "I can barely complete ordinary tasks, let alone over-fulfill tasks. Just staying alive during tasks is good enough."
"Like this task..."
At this point, Su Fengze took out a mirror.
He pointed the mirror towards the northern sea. In an instant, countless points of light appeared on the mirror.
These points of light were all Bloody Legions on various islands.
The nearest island had the most light points and was brightest, which was where the Divine Rune Army and Bloody Legion were battling.
There was also a light point moving rapidly, approaching the battlefield.
On the mirror, besides light points, there were also threads connecting all the light points, meaning all the islands in the Northern Coastal Sea were connected as a whole.
Su Fengze said, "This is my treasure, the Truth-Revealing Mirror!"
"It can reveal the power distribution on the battlefield. These threads indicate that all these islands are actually interconnected, probably forming a special formation."
"It's just that the formation hasn't activated yet, and there's that moving light point below, which should be a very powerful being."
"I think when this being arrives, the formation will activate, and these Divine Rune soldiers will be encircled."
Lin Moyu looked at the mirror. "This treasure is quite good. Since Friend Su already knows, why not act in advance, like retreating?"
Su Fengze shook his head, "We can't retreat. The task has already begun. I only have two choices: complete the task, or die here."
"The task is to exterminate the Bloody Legion in the Northern Coastal Sea. For us individuals, it's to independently exterminate one island. I initially thought that if I could find a suitable opportunity, I should be able to do it."
"But the premise of completing the task is for the Divine Rune Army to win. But now..."
Su Fengze's expression wasn't good. If the Divine Rune Army lost, even if he exterminated one island, what use would it be? Wouldn't the result still be death?
Lin Moyu smiled, "No need to be so pessimistic. Since there's a task, there must be a way to survive."
Su Fengze looked up at Lin Moyu, "Please enlighten me, Friend Lin."
Lin Moyu said, "As far as I know, if the Divine Rune Army is outmatched, they will call for reinforcements."
Su Fengze immediately understood Lin Moyu's meaning, "Friend Lin means that as long as I can complete my part of the task, then hold out until reinforcements arrive, that's enough, right?"
Lin Moyu said, "If it's just to complete the task, that's enough. Even if you don't complete the task, as long as you can survive until reinforcements arrive, you can keep your life."
Lin Moyu's words gave Su Fengze great confidence.
He shook off his dejected look, "Then how does one over-fulfill the task, as Friend Lin mentioned?"
Lin Moyu said, "The requirements for each task are different. For this task, I guess it's to not let the Divine Rune Army be routed before reinforcements arrive. Or to end the battle before reinforcements come."
"As for the specific method, it's nothing more than killing the Bloody rat monsters here."
