Chapter 812: The Frantic Third Prince
The third prince stared blankly ahead, his hand still raised as if holding a wine cup, while the cup had already fallen from his hand to the table, shattering into pieces. However, he seemed completely oblivious, his hand still held high.
In the eyes of the third prince, the Aklaya Mountain Defense Line was nothing but paper. As long as they charged, they could break through it immediately. But clearly, they had greatly underestimated the strength of the Ark Continent.
When the red and blue lights shot toward them, many Divine Race members didn't even manage to activate their shields, directly getting wiped out by the red and blue attacks.
This was just the beginning; then a large number of spears were shot from the defense line. Of course, these spears weren't thrown by people but were launched from bed crossbows.
In addition to preparing a large number of magic cannons, the defense line had also readied a multitude of bed crossbows. Making bed crossbows was somewhat easier than making magic cannons, and previously, people on the continent often used them, with a usage frequency higher than that of magic cannons, making it easier for Zhao Hai to collect them.
Previously, bed crossbows posed almost no threat to the Divine Race. The dull arrows shot from bed crossbows couldn't even penetrate the Divine Race's defenses, so what use were they?
However, since the introduction of the enhanced spears, the lethality of these bed crossbows had greatly increased. The bed crossbows on the Ark Continent were not the same as the ones Zhao Hai had seen on Earth before; during his time on Earth, he had encountered a three-arm divine crossbow used in the Song Dynasty, which required at least four to five people to operate during loading and firing—extremely cumbersome.
On the Ark Continent, everyone trained in martial arts and could use fighting spirit, allowing an average person to operate a bed crossbow alone. Moreover, unlike the three-arm divine crossbow that could only shoot one arrow at a time, these bed crossbows could shoot up to five arrows simultaneously without affecting their range.
All of Zhao Hai's undead beings had the strength of level nine, so operating a bed crossbow was a breeze for them. Coupled with Zhao Hai's ample supply of ammunition, shooting five at once meant this spear's power was indeed substantial.
Just as the Divine Race army was about to charge the defense line, they were momentarily stunned by the barrage of magic cannons and bed crossbows from the defense line. Such concentrated firepower was something they hadn't even dared to imagine; this level of attack was too fierce.
The Divine Race members were shocked into silence, many forgetting to charge and to raise their domains, standing there accepting the baptism of cannon fire from the Aklaya Mountain Defense Line.
After a while, they finally responded, but by then, a round of cannon fire from Aklaya Mountain had already passed, claiming the lives of several thousand of them, most of whom were killed by the Blood Thunder Pearl Spears.
At this moment, the third prince also came back to his senses, his face pale as he shouted, "Retreat! Quickly retreat! Fall back beyond range and regroup!"
The third prince's behavior was clearly visible to the people in Ark Space. When the battle began, they witnessed everything on the battlefield, and they could also hear the sounds of explosions and battle cries, which made those who had never experienced such things feel as if they were right there.
As the third prince issued his command, people took notice of him. Just by looking at his demeanor, they knew he was a remarkable figure within the Divine Race. At that moment, a voice echoed in the sky again: "The person you see on the screen now is the third prince of the Divine Race, the commander of the front lines invading the Ark Continent."
People had gradually gotten used to the appearance of this voice. They never expected Zhao Hai's space to be so magical, allowing them to see the battles outside and hear the sounds, along with commentary being provided.
