After a century of worship, I became the ancestor of the tribe.

Chapter 386 Aerial Combat!

boom! boom! boom!
Before the flying cavalry on the Tongbei tribe's fleet could even take flight, a deafening roar erupted.

The allied warships, lined up in a single row, roared with cannon fire and flames soared into the sky.

The fireballs transformed into meteors, forming a rain of fire that rushed towards the Tongbei tribe's fleet.

A distance of over a hundred miles is nothing to a fourth or fifth-tier witch cannon.

From the direction of the Tongbei tribe, a meteor shower could be seen sweeping across the sky.

With the first salvo, the recoil from the roar of nearly two thousand cannons sent the Alliance warships drifting backward by tens or even hundreds of feet.

The warriors of the Tongbei tribe had never seen such a magical artifact before.

The figures who had just been laughing at the barren mountains for daring to rob people on the road suddenly jumped up in panic.

The half-flying cavalrymen who had flown out were so frightened that they shrank back into the airship.

Talk is talk, and jokes are jokes, but nobody's stupid.

The meteor shower converged into a blazing inferno, its power overwhelming. Although they didn't know what kind of magical artifact was emitting it, they could still feel its might.

If they themselves were to run into something like that, they'd be in serious trouble, not just badly roasted.

"Quickly activate the witch array defense!"

A sharp shout rang out, and on the Tongbei tribe's large ships and flying boats, the shamanic script began to light up one after another, crackling and radiating various lights.

On the lead ship, the Tongbei, a yellowish-brown defensive shield was the first to light up.

The other ships and boats also lit up their various colored defensive shields one after another.

But how could a fleet of more than two hundred ships quickly prepare for defense?

The first volley of cannon fire, after arcing through the air, saw some of the cannons land on the Tongbei.

boom! boom! boom!
The massive protective shield of the Tongbei, resembling a giant tortoise shell, exploded into bursts of sparks.

The energy released after the explosion caused the light shield to ripple outwards.

After being hit by the fifth-tier witch cannon in succession, the protective shield of the Tongbei began to shake violently, and the ship was also moved backward a distance under the bombardment. The Tongbei warriors inside the ship were all knocked over.

"Quickly, activate the formation to its maximum!"

Hearing the cracking sounds coming from the Tongbei ship, and seeing cracks appearing on the tan protective shield, the young master of Tongbei shouted loudly.

At the same time that the Tongbei was bombarded, other large ships and flying boats were also bombarded by varying numbers of cannon fire.

The cannon collided with the defensive formation, exploding into bursts of sparks in the air.

Some large ships withstood the bombardment, but some airships were unlucky.

After the flames exploded on the protective shield, the raging fire tore the shield apart and the flames rushed into the airship.

The airship roared violently, followed by screams as the Tongbei tribe warriors on board were engulfed in flames.

Some Tongbei warriors tried to jump off the flying boat, but the rising flames swept up like a fire dragon, engulfing them in the flames.

Several airships that hadn't had time to activate their defensive formations were struck by cannonballs like meteors, instantly snapping them in half and igniting their sails.

Boom boom boom!

Within the jungle, countless small animals looked up and witnessed a scene they would never forget.

One after another, flying boats and large ships exploded in the sky, bursting into clusters of fire.

Some of the broken airships, still flaming, began to fall from the sky.

There were also creatures engulfed in flames, struggling and screaming as they plummeted with the burning airship.

In the first round of shelling alone, more than half of the more than 200 boats and ships of the Tongbei tribe were hit, and more than 20 of them exploded on the spot and fell from the sky.

Boom boom boom!
On the Alliance fleet's side, the witch cannons didn't stop at all. Before the first wave of meteor showers had even completely landed, the second wave of meteor showers had already struck again.

Following closely behind were the third and fourth batches.

Each magic bullet trailed a long, meteor-like beam of light as it crashed into the Tongbei tribe's fleet.

Like a series of meteor showers falling one after another, they immediately stunned the Tongbei tribe.

A fifth-tier expert from the Tongbei tribe tried to rush out of the large ship, but he quickly returned the moment he stepped out.

They were afraid of those fireballs that erupted with fifth-level energy.

The second elder of the Tongbei tribe was a late-stage fifth-order martial artist. He rushed out of the Tongbei and launched a series of attacks, knocking away the incoming fireballs, which exploded in the distance.

But how many bombs can he withstand by himself?

On the Tongbei ship, some Tongbei people prepared to fight back, but found that their own witchcraft was useless.

"Young clan leader, our giant crossbows are no good!"

"Where's the Golden Arrow Tower?!"

"Activate the Golden Arrow Tower quickly!"

The Golden Arrow Tower is a magical artifact standing atop the highest point of the ship's superstructure. Once activated, it can unleash a number of giant energy arrows that pierce through enemy ships.

However, activating the Golden Arrow Tower requires a large amount of energy.

"Young Master, the energy attacks from the other side are too powerful. All the energy on our ship is being used to support the protective shield."

The young master of Tongbei glanced at the arrow tower at the highest point of the ship, where arrows flashed, but the light kept flickering and changing. He said angrily, "Charge up! Use the batons!"

The clappers were long, rod-shaped magical implements placed on the front and back sides of the treasure ship, with something resembling a heavy hammer at the top.

As long as you can get within a hundred miles of the enemy's warship, you can use the baton to transform into an enormous hammer and smash the enemy's warship to pieces.

This is also the mainstream offensive magical artifact for the Great Wilderness Ship.

Alternatively, one could wait until the two ships were close together, then have one's own warriors charge directly at the other ship for close-quarters combat.

The young master of Tongbei, who was experienced in naval warfare, had traveled all over the country and had never seen such a fighting style before.

After giving the order, the young master of Tongbei discovered that he had no way to communicate the order to the other ships.

The ships following behind him were weaving in and out of position, constantly dodging the incoming fireballs.

Although there is a protective light shield, it is not omnipotent. If it can avoid an attack, then it should.

Even with protective light shields and serpentine maneuvers, under such a rapid, storm-like barrage, flying boats and large ships were still being bombarded, their bodies blazing with fire, and falling from the sky.

In just four rounds of bombardment, only about seventy of the Tongbei tribe's boats and ships that could still fly in mid-air remained.

Apart from a few fifth-tier large ships, the rest were all engulfed in flames, the defensive magic arrays were cracked, and the ships were in complete disarray, with screams echoing everywhere.

The warriors of the Tongbei tribe traveled across tens of millions of miles, each dreaming of capturing the insignificant human beings of this barren land. Little did they expect that they would be met with such a brutal attack before they even arrived.

They had seen slave-hunting teams fight on boats before, but this scene was something they had never witnessed before.

In the southwest direction, after firing four consecutive salvos, the warships collectively turned and quickly left their original positions, splitting into two groups.

"Flying Guards, drop the bombs!"

"All Tier 5 cannons, follow the Flame and attack the enemy's largest warship!"

"The remaining ships disperse and attack their chosen targets freely."

……

On the Torch, the command was transmitted to the back of the old black tortoise higher up via a communication device.

The one who issued the order was Yan Jiang.

On the old Xuan Turtle high in the sky, small flying boats took off, forming a flying squadron of two hundred fourth-level martial artists.

Each airship carries a great treasure.

"As ordered, hit the biggest one!"

……

"Young Master, something's wrong! Look at the sky!" The Second Elder, who had jumped back into the Tongbei Ship from outside, saw through the protective shield that a dark shadow was rapidly falling towards them from a higher point in the sky.

The shadowy figure rapidly enlarged, revealing round objects resembling beast cores, shimmering with a metallic sheen.

"Turn around quickly and get out of the way!"

As streaks of light streaked across the sky, followed by a barrage of metal balls falling from the sky, the young master of Tongbei hurriedly ordered, "Second Elder, call upon the fifth-ranked warriors to charge out and scatter them!"

Not only were their fleets bombarded from afar, but now they were being targeted by something else.

He, a member of the Tongbei tribe, had never suffered such injustice.

As instructed, the entire Tongbei tribe brought over a million soldiers, including 1,500 fourth-tier warriors and nine fifth-tier warriors.

The strongest is the Second Elder, who is at the late stage of the fifth rank, while the First Elder stays in the clan to oversee the clan headquarters.

The second elder of the Tongbei clan jumped out of the Tongbei again, called to the other seven fifth-tier members, and rushed towards the sky.

At the same time, a tiger's roar resounded from the old black tortoise in the sky.

"Get to work!" Crimson Fire Lu Wu transformed from the sky into a size of several hundred feet, carrying a ball of golden fire, and charged down.

Hey!
He, the mighty Luwu Beast King, is going to fight two of them today.

The Second Elder of Tongbei, who was leading the way, suddenly sensed more than twenty fifth-order auras rushing towards the group of five.

The Kui Niu leader's massive one-legged foot slammed down on the Second Elder of Tongbei first.

Although it is only in the mid-stage of the fifth tier, it likes to fight the strongest.

In an instant, a group of fifth-tier beings clashed together in the sky.

Oh, no, it was the eight fifth-tier members of the Tongbei Clan who were ganged up on by twenty-one fifth-tier members of the Human Alliance.

Among the Tongbei tribe members who rushed out, there was one late-stage fifth-tier member, three mid-stage fifth-tier members, and four early-stage fifth-tier members.

On the human side, those at the mid-stage of the fifth rank include Lu Wu, the leader of the Kui Niu, Kui Yang, and the Snow Weasel Beast King.

The remaining early-stage fifth tier beings are the alliance creatures that were promoted earlier.

The young master of the Tongbei clan is also at the mid-stage of the fifth rank, but he remains on the Tongbei ship and has not appeared.

A group of fifth-tier beings instantly launched into a chaotic battle, their energies colliding in mid-air.

"Stars!"

During the battle, a soft, weak voice suddenly rang out, and starlight suddenly shone brightly in the sky.

Starlight meandered and twisted, as if outlining a star map. The starlight refracted in the star map and struck a mid-stage fifth-order Tongbei Clan member like lightning.

With a soft "poof," the elder of the Tongbei tribe's brow exploded, and his body swayed before he fell to the ground.

The numerous fifth-tier fighters who were engaged in combat were instantly taken aback.

Especially the other fifth-tier members of the Tongbei tribe, seeing a woman standing high in the sky where the voice had come from, looking so frail and delicate as if she were about to be blown away by the wind, were all terrified and trembled all over.

In broad daylight, how come the stars are shining?

How could Starlight instantly kill a mid-stage fifth-tier opponent?

……

Hey!
A scream rang out as Crimson Fire Lu Wu, his rear end clenched, yelled in fury. He tilted his head, opened his mouth, and spat out a burst of blazing flames, which struck a fifth-tier early-stage Tongbei Clan member, severely injuring him and blasting him off the battlefield.

Can't beat the old, but can't beat the young?
After regaining his footing against the early-stage fifth rank, Crimson Fire Lu Wu charged at the Second Elder of the Tongbei Clan once again, joining the siege against the Second Elder once more.

Fat Tiger refused to believe it; he was always the one getting beaten up.

……

Without the Second Elder leading the clansmen to resist the falling witch bombs, the Tongbei ship, where the young master of Tongbei was located, directly felt the special care of the alliance.

Although a large portion of the falling witch bombs veered off course, dozens still exploded on the Tongbei.

The surging energy bombarded the protective shield, and cracking sounds echoed continuously on it.

Cracks can be clearly seen on the protective shield, which appear again and again and are repaired by energy.

This situation cannot be sustained for long.

The Firestone, a hundred miles away, aimed at the Tongbei, and twelve other warships joined the Firestone in firing.

Sparks flew from the gunwales on one side of the warship, and the cannons were smoking from the fire.

Rumble!
A loud bang rang out more than ten miles away. The defensive light shield of a fifth-tier ship of the Tongbei tribe was blasted open by the witch cannon, and flames raged inside the ship.

The fifth-tier magic bullets exploded one after another, instantly devouring all the fourth-tier beings, and the large ship broke apart and began to fall downwards.

boom!
Following closely behind, the second fifth-tier ship also followed suit.

The allied fleet, having broken free of their lines, split into smaller groups and began searching for their own targets.

Ship after ship was hit, and the Tongbei tribe ships, receiving no response from the Tongbei, began to scatter and flee.

Some of the Tongbei warriors simply abandoned their boats and rushed into the mountains.

At this moment, the alliance warriors who had been waiting for a long time on the giant tortoise team began to pursue these scattered Tongbei tribe warriors who were trying to escape.

Of course, some ships did not sit idly by and wait to be destroyed. Their magical artifacts were not powerful enough to attack the Alliance warships, so they steered their large ships toward the Alliance warships.

To get closer, you can use the baton, or jump onto the Alliance warship.

However, when the Alliance warships were built, they followed a popular design line, making them very suitable for flight.

After disbanding into smaller teams, they became even more slippery, like eels, never approaching the Tongbei tribe's large ship. They would advance and retreat, advance and retreat at will.

If you keep your distance, I'll bombard you with artillery fire.

Your ship has warriors rushing out, but my ship also has its own warriors.

Besides the shaman cannon, we also have giant crossbows and rockets.

Faced with the Tongbei tribe warriors charging towards the warship, they immediately unleashed a barrage of crossbow bolts and rockets.

The force that drove the men charging toward the warship had no choice but to flee in panic.

As a result, the battle area expanded, with large ships, warships, warriors, and birds of prey darting about everywhere.

……

Click!

When a fireball fired from a Tier 5 sorcerer cannon on the Torch once again struck the Tongbei.

The explosion of flames blasted a large hole in the light shield.

The energy generated by the explosion poured into the Tongbei ship through this opening.

The young master of the Tongbei tribe rose into the air, his limbs and arms striking out repeatedly, trying to blast away the pouring energy.

But more cannonballs slammed into the light shield, causing the yellowish-brown defensive shield to shake violently, cracks spreading like a spider web across its entire surface.

Seeing this, the young master of Tongbei roared, and a tower-shaped magical artifact shot up from his body, emitting an earthy yellow divine light that instantly kept the flames outside the earthy yellow divine light.

"Go down!"

The Tongbei began to fall from the sky, crashing straight into the mountains and forests, kicking up thick smoke.

The crash of the Tongbei was seen by the other remaining Tongbei ships as a destruction.

The few remaining Tier 5 ships panicked and rushed toward the crashed Tongbei.

They were terrified that their young master might die.

Having crashed into the mountains, the young master of Tongbei grabbed the communication jade talisman and shouted wildly.

"Father, where are you?"

"Answer it quickly..."
