Link smiled slightly; he was not intimidated.
He held the greatsword upright in front of his chest and said calmly, "Then I'll see how powerful you really are."
His tone was full of confidence and composure, as if he didn't care about the current predicament.
"You're so stubborn, I'll chop you into pieces!"
Four Naga sea monsters simultaneously wielded their twin blades and attacked Link, as if a net of blades were pressing down on him.
Their attacks were fierce and swift, as if they wanted to completely devour Link.
"Drink!"
Link shouted, and countless sword lights shot out from him in all directions, a dazzling display of blades and shadows, carrying a fierce aura, leaving no blind spots.
Clang! In the next instant, only the sound of swords and knives clashing in the blink of an eye could be heard, the deafening sound of metal clashing.
Link's greatsword clashed repeatedly in mid-air with the Naga Siren's twin blades, each collision unleashing even more intense sparks.
how come?
The Naga Siren frowned, her face filled with disbelief.
How could this human possibly withstand attacks launched by four of himself at the same time?
Moreover, the opponent was able to defend without any flaws and even launch counterattacks from time to time.
She was filled with doubt and shock. She had thought that her clone technique would be able to easily subdue Link, but she did not expect that the other party was also so powerful.
How can it be?
How could such a powerful human exist in a mere border town?
While she was wondering what was going on, Link's greatsword pierced into the body of one of the Naga sea monsters during a brief moment.
The Naga sea monster instantly transformed into a ball of water and exploded, splashing onto the ground.
It was fake!
Link felt a chill run down his spine. He immediately realized that not all of the Naga Siren's clones were the real thing; there must be some fakes among them.
Link's attack shifted to the other three Naga sirens.
In the distance, the heavily armored shield bearers and mermen had already begun hand-to-hand combat, with swords flashing and blood and flesh flying everywhere on the battlefield.
Fortunately, with Claudia, Fiorena, Dilva, and Curadia as backup, these women were all agile and highly skilled in martial arts.
With their heavily armored shield bearers being exceptionally brave and skilled warriors, and having undergone systematic training, their coordinated teamwork, platoon by platoon, allowed them to hold their own against the merfolk. Coupled with the occasional sniper fire from the musketeers behind them, they maintained a firm advantage.
On the inner city wall, the old city lord and Kuokas were anxiously watching the situation on the battlefield.
Kuokas said anxiously, "Old Lord, it's time for us to go out and attack! Those sirens have already started hand-to-hand combat with our reinforcements. If we go out now, we can definitely eliminate the enemy with minimal casualties!"
Her tone was full of urgency and anticipation; she hoped the old city lord would give the order to attack.
However, the old city lord shook his head and said, "Wait a little longer, wait a little longer."
His white hair fluttered in the wind, looking somewhat disheveled.
His eyes revealed a sense of caution and hesitation; he seemed to still be worried about something.
Seeing the old city lord's hesitation, Kuokas grew even more anxious.
She knelt on one knee before the old city lord and earnestly said, "My lord, you weren't like this back then. You taught us to have courage, to help the weak, not to abandon our comrades, and to have the belief to overcome all difficulties. But now you are so hesitant. What are we, your subordinates, supposed to do?"
Her tone was full of admiration and expectation for the old city lord, hoping that he could regain his courage from back then.
The old city lord looked at Link, the young man who was fighting the Naga sea monster alone, and a complex emotion welled up in his heart.
I used to be just as proud and ambitious, believing that there was no difficulty I couldn't overcome, like a young tiger just emerging from its tumbleweed, fearless of heaven and earth.
However, the long years have worn away my edges, and I no longer have the youthful arrogance of those days. I have started to worry about this and that, and I only dare to hide in this small inner city, barely surviving.
Is this what my younger self wanted?
The old city lord couldn't help but ask himself this question.
Perhaps I really am getting old.
The old city lord sighed and slowly walked down the city wall, saying, "Kuokas, I'm leaving this place to you. I'm going to check on the commoners inside the inner city. Do whatever you want."
His tone revealed a sense of helplessness and resignation; he knew he was powerless to change anything and could only place his hopes on the younger generation.
Kuokas watched the figure slowly disappear into the distance; it was the old city lord she once admired and revered.
At that moment, that figure seemed to have suddenly become much thinner and older!
A strange sense of sorrow and emotion welled up in Kuokas's heart.
Gods! When you grow old, will you become like this too?
She dared not imagine what her future would be like, but she knew that, at least for now, she had to do what she wanted to do.
Kuokas stood up, atop the highest point of the city wall, and shouted to her soldiers, “Warriors, do you see? The reinforcements that came to help us are fighting those sirens! I don’t know what you’re thinking, but my heart tells me that we should raise our swords and fight alongside our brothers! Those who are willing to come with me, come out with me and give those mermen a good thrashing! Those who are unwilling, it’s alright, I don’t blame you. You stay here and guard our home!” Her voice was impassioned and powerful, full of inspiring strength.
"Damn it, kill those monsters! They killed my brothers, I wish I could kill as many as possible!" a soldier shouted angrily, his eyes burning with hatred.
"Captain, I'm going too! I haven't killed enough yet!" another soldier shouted, his tone filled with eagerness for battle.
"And I!"
"Me, I'll go too!"
In an instant, soldiers responded to Kuokas in droves, raising their weapons, ready to avenge their comrades and fight for their homeland.
Kuokas looked at the soldiers holding their weapons high and smiled happily.
She knew that these soldiers were true warriors; they were not afraid of death or hardship, but only of not having the chance to fight for their homeland and comrades.
She shouted, "Come on! Open the city gates! Let's go help our brothers who have come to our aid!"
"Kill!" With a deafening shout, the city gates slowly opened, and soldiers surged out like a tide, rushing towards the battlefield.
......
At this point, Naga began to change her strategy in her battle with Link, adopting a more conservative defensive approach.
As the battle intensified, she grew increasingly uneasy. The human before her seemed to possess inexhaustible magic and stamina, and every move he made was powerful and heavy. No matter how fiercely she attacked, he could easily handle it.
No matter how he fought, Link seemed tireless; his movements remained agile, and his eyes remained sharp.
As for Naga herself, she could clearly feel the depletion of her magic power, and her clones were also teetering on the brink of collapse due to insufficient magic power supply.
Naga's sword swings became slower and slower, each strike appearing weak and powerless.
An ominous premonition welled up in her heart; she seemed to have figured out Link's tactics.
This is clearly stalling for time, waiting for the moment when she runs out of energy.
Naga gritted her teeth, her heart filled with resentment.
She decided to take a gamble and use her last bit of magic to launch a fatal attack.
However, just as she was about to pounce on Link again, she keenly caught a glimpse of a cold smile flashing across Link's face.
That sneer was full of confidence and mockery, as if everything was under his control.
Naga was startled, and before she could react, she saw Link extend his index finger, and the next second...
Blood traced a perfect arc in the air as Naga's body was struck by the 'Finger Pistol,' one of the Six Powers of the Navy, causing her to lose her balance instantly.
She was filled with regret and resentment, but it was all too late to undo the damage.
Link's attack brought the battle to a complete end.
"you...!"
Naga clutched her abdomen, where blood seeped through her fingers, staining her palms red.
A deep hole had been shot into her side by the finger gun, and the pain made her furrow her brow, her eyes flashing with anger and resentment.
"You...you damned human! You're toying with me!? Such a bizarre attack, you weren't even using your full strength from the start!"
Naga glared at Link through gritted teeth, her voice filled with anger and humiliation.
She suddenly realized that everything seemed so insignificant in the face of this human being.
Did he use all his strength?
No, absolutely not.
Link's composure made her feel an unprecedented sense of frustration.
Snapped!
The next moment, another figure appeared like a ghost and collided with Naga's twin blades. Amidst the clang of metal, sparks flew everywhere.
Then, the figure leaped to Link's side and stood firmly.
"I'm sorry we're late. Thank you for coming to rescue our Hailin City!" Kuokas said to Link with his back to her.
Her voice was clear and firm, filled with gratitude for Link and the others.
The Naga siren turned her head angrily, staring at the human who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere, her eyes flashing with murderous intent.
"Human, you're really asking for death."
She said through gritted teeth, gripping her twin swords tightly, ready to launch another attack at any moment.
Kuokas rubbed her slightly sore right arm. Although she served in the military, she had also cultivated battle qi, which allowed her to barely withstand the Naga's attacks.
She grinned and said, "Don't underestimate humans. There was a Naga sea monster about your size before, but we taught it a lesson. Luckily, it ran fast, or it would have died here."
Upon hearing this, the Naga Siren's anger intensified.
"It was you who injured my sister? You damned humans!" she roared angrily, swinging her twin swords even more fiercely.
Kuokas was taken aback when he heard this, but then he suddenly realized what was going on.
"So, you're that guy's older sister. You're definitely much stronger than your younger sister!" she said with a smile, her tone slightly teasing.
Enraged by the human before her, Naga angrily brandished her twin blades. Although her moves seemed much fiercer than before, they had lost their structure and were clearly devoid of her previous composure and calmness.
"Damn humans! If it weren't for your treacherous scheme against my sister, how could you possibly be a match for her, causing her such severe injuries? Today, I will avenge my sister!"
The Naga Sea Monster roared and launched another attack on Kuokas, Link, and the others.
However, at that moment, shouts and cries for help came from the distant battlefield.
"Lady Claudia, several of our brothers are on the verge of collapse. Those crazed mermen are too powerful; many of our warriors are seriously injured!" a soldier reported anxiously to Claudia.
Claudia frowned, constantly directing the troops in an attempt to stabilize the situation.
However, as time went on, their situation became increasingly dire.
The merfolk's attacks grew increasingly fierce, and the warriors suffered increasing casualties.
"Captain, my gun is overheating, it's unusable!" a soldier shouted, his gunshots abruptly ceasing as he could only watch helplessly as the merman charged toward his comrade.
"Captain, I'm out of bullets!" another soldier shouted anxiously. His ammunition was also empty, and he could only fight the fishman with his dagger.
Claudia's heart sank. She knew that if things continued like this, they might really not be able to hold on any longer.
She constantly encouraged the soldiers, trying to inspire their fighting spirit and courage.
The group was slowly making its way out of the street, but the mermen's attacks grew increasingly fierce, as if they wanted to annihilate them completely.
Link naturally noticed the situation here as well.
His brows were furrowed, and his eyes flashed with determination and resolve.
Should we really reveal our full strength?
He pondered to himself.
In fact, Link didn't want to reveal his full power to outsiders.
He has a habit of keeping some trump cards up his sleeve, including during his fight with the Naga just now.
Even in his demonic form, he was only at level one. If he were to unleash his full power, he would truly transform into a humanoid beast and easily crush the fishman.
However, he chose to conserve his strength, partly to avoid revealing his trump card, and partly to give his comrades a chance to train.
However, now, seeing his comrades starting to get hurt, Link knew he could no longer stand idly by.
He took a deep breath, preparing to unleash his full power and deliver a fatal blow to these merfolk.
Just then, a group of soldiers suddenly appeared behind the murloc attacking force.
