Chapter 161 The Knight's Sword and Shield
In the air, it was the unshaven knight who spoke.
He seemed to be the leader of those knights. With a roar, all the knights flying in mid-air waved their wind wings or wing magic tools and rushed out of the barrier.
How could the knights who guarded White Cliff and frequently dealt with the sea monsters here not know the knowledge that Jiang Yu could glean from the book?
Venomous stinging octopus!
A vanguard of sirens who always wanted to take down White Cliff by relying on poisonous fog.
Every member of the Knights knew that they absolutely could not allow them to continue releasing the poisonous mist from their bodies!
Of course, this is also why they would be the vanguard of the Siren Legion.
The Seven Sisters' Barrier has excellent defensive capabilities; even if the sea monster lords bombard it relentlessly, they cannot break through its barrier.
Therefore, only attacks from those venomous octopuses would force the humans inside these barriers to go out and fight.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Then came another series of loud bangs.
More and more water columns are flying in from afar, which means that the number of venomous octopuses clinging to the barrier is also becoming increasingly exaggerated.
"Fierce Fist!"
"thunderbolt!"
"Ice Lock!"
Humanity's counterattack has arrived.
The knights worked in pairs, clearing out the stinging octopuses.
Multicolored magical light appeared outside the barrier.
Light flashed, and elemental power condensed in the air.
Flames, lightning, frost, and other elements intertwine to create a magnificent spectacle.
The stinging octopuses were either burned by flames, struck by lightning, or frozen by frost, and one by one they slid off the protective barrier and fell into the sea, splashing up countless waves.
"Pfft pfft~~~"
Beneath those waves, countless white, jellyfish-like creatures had somehow appeared.
They leaped out of the sea, soaring into the air at a height of twenty or thirty meters above the surface.
"Chirp chirp chirp~~~"
Countless water projectiles were launched from their bodies, ambushing the knights who were focused on the venomous octopus.
Fortunately, the knights were all working together in pairs.
One person was responsible for attacking, and the other for guarding, just like the sword and shield combination that knights were best at, which prevented the white jellyfish from launching a sneak attack.
"Waterbending!"
"Guangyou!"
"Rock barrier!"
One by one, defensive spells protected themselves and their teammates behind them.
As the operation was exposed, the once azure sea instantly turned into a vast expanse of white.
The vast army of white jellyfish hidden beneath the sea surface emerged one after another, beginning to support the vanguard forces that were wreaking havoc on the barrier from below.
"Holy crap! It's another siren army."
Looking at the scene before him, Guan Yu couldn't help but swear.
They chose this day randomly, and as a result, they were greeted with such a spectacular battlefield.
Doesn't this mean that this naval battlefield could face such a large-scale naval battle at any time?
Too dangerous!
"Have you noticed something? Apart from the members of the Knights, there don't seem to be any hunter mages here," Ai Jiangtu, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said.
After he said that, everyone realized that, apart from a few people who weren't wearing white armor, almost everyone on the battlefield was a knight.
"It seems to be true!"
"Actually, there's nothing surprising about it." Hua Yu frowned and said, "Here, you're starting with monarch-level sea monsters. How many of those wandering hunters do you think are strong enough to step into this battlefield?"
Even the undead armies that Hua Yu had personally witnessed could not possibly launch attacks on human territory every day under the leadership of their lord.
If that were to happen, it's estimated that at least half of the low- and mid-level mages in the entire ancient capital would be gone.
A monarch's casual strike, if not blocked, could potentially destroy a large area.
How many low-level mages will survive by then?
There are plenty of places where resources can be obtained; they don't need to compete with the monarch.
Of course, it would be very difficult for demons on land to do this.
A mountain peak, a forest, a cave—perhaps there's only one monarch there. They don't have the leisure to lead their minions to attack human territory all the time.
Only sirens could do something like that.
Because their demon population is so large, in order to reduce excessive resource consumption, they even have to resort to this suicidal method to control the growth of their demon population.
"Hey, that uncle's here." Jiang Shaoxu pointed to the white figure in the air.
As soon as she finished speaking, the bearded knight flew above them and asked, "You must be members of the Chinese National Team, right?"
"Yes." Hua Yu nodded.
"Did your mentors tell you about the training mission?"
"He served under Knight Commander John in the five Battles of White Cliffs."
"Very well, I am John." The bearded knight spoke calmly. "I won't explain anything further. That's the place you're to guard. I have only one request: don't let those filthy octopuses spray their poisonous mist indiscriminately. Can you do that?"
As he spoke, he pointed to a circular platform extending from the edge of the cliff.
These circular platforms are for mages who can't fly to fight.
Hua Yu glanced around and saw that there weren't many sea monsters there.
Clearly, Commander John had no intention of making things difficult for them.
Since that was the case, Hua Yu naturally had no objections and nodded directly, saying, "Okay."
After giving his orders, John flapped his wind wings and returned to the front lines to prepare to command the battle.
Just then, the monarch-like creature in the distance suddenly moved.
It summoned a massive wave, and the long-waiting army of sirens rushed towards the Seven Sisters' White Cliff with it.
John's expression hardened, and then he went straight to meet the siren lord without hesitation.
The knights always walked in pairs, and John, as the knight commander, was no exception; a knight in white armor followed behind him.
That was his shield!
Those two were among the best of the elite, otherwise the British royal family wouldn't have been so confident in sending them to guard the White Cliff Sea battlefield.
The two worked together seamlessly, one attacking and the other defending, directly causing the monarch-level octagonal demon lord to retreat in defeat.
If it weren't for the large number of henchmen gathered around the Eight-Clawed Demon Lord, it would probably have suffered an even more crushing defeat.
Hua Yu withdrew his gaze and then said, "Let's go."
The distant battlefield is not something they should be concerned with.
Following Hua Yu, the National Team members exited the barrier and stood on the circular platform.
"Brothers, I'm going first!"
Upon arriving here, Mo Fan, whose emotions had already been stirred by the great battle between humans and sea monsters, couldn't help but want to take action.
"Fierce Fist - Heaven-Shattering!"
