For so many followers, Song Zhong had no choice but to take one step at a time.
However, after being completely exposed, it is not easy to escape from this dense army of monsters.
Not long after the fleet set out, it ran into another demon army. What's more troublesome is that this demon army is made of vultures that have the ability to fly. There are also many of them, more than 5 million of them. Flying in the sky, they really cover the sky and the sun, just like endless dark clouds. .
After seeing the terrifying power of Song Zhong's fleet, the demon clan no longer expected the army on the ground to be able to stop them, so they sent out this flying force.
The combat effectiveness of the vulture spirit itself is actually not very high. Ordinary warriors do not have many long-range Taoist attacks, unless they are promoted to heavenly immortal or above.
However, these guys are born with a pair of steel feathers and can withstand even ordinary attacks. They can be said to be rough-skinned and thick-bodied. Coupled with their natural power and air superiority, their melee capabilities are very powerful.
Although Song Zhong's flying boat has good defense, it can never withstand the impact of so many vultures. Moreover, once they are close, Song Zhong's dragon pattern cannon will be useless, because the range of the divine thunder explosion is too wide. It can easily reach hundreds or even thousands of feet, and even one's own body-protecting divine light will be struck.
Therefore, when Song Zhong saw so many difficult guys appearing, his expression immediately changed, and he quickly ordered to bombard them, determined not to let them get close.
Following Song Zhong's order, the fleet formed into a ball in the air immediately launched a sharp attack. Millions of dragon-marked cannons roared again, and countless colorful cannonballs were fired at the vultures in all directions like a meteor shower.
The next moment, millions of divine thunders exploded one after another, and huge fireballs almost shattered the space hundreds of miles away. The intense light made the flower demons on the ship unable to open their eyes.
The vulture, which was caught in the dense explosion, was immediately hit by the horrific explosion and suffered heavy losses. Countless vultures were turned into ashes on the spot, and the entire sky became clear.
However, Song Zhong's bombardment did not scare these desperate guys away. On the contrary, the death of their companions aroused their hidden ferocity.
As a result, the surviving vultures all let out a shrill cry, and then their bodies glowed red, and their flying speed immediately increased several times.
It turns out that the vulture spirit has a unique skill. It can burn its essence and blood to speed up its flight. It is very useful whether it is used to escape or to hunt down enemies. Especially used at this time, it poses a huge threat to Song Zhong's flying boat fleet.
After all, the dragon-marked cannon cannot fire continuously. Every time it is fired, the shell needs to be loaded. This process takes less than one breath.
If the vultures had not accelerated, this effort would have only allowed them to advance about a hundred miles. Song Zhong's second wave of artillery fire would have hit them, directly turning the leading troops of their advance into ashes, while those behind would continue to advance these distances. , we must continue to accept the baptism of artillery fire. In this way, I am afraid that all the vultures will be dead, and they may not be able to get close to Song Zhong's fleet.
But when they accelerated like this, it was completely different. When the second wave of bombardment started, they broke into a distance of three to four hundred miles. Although the leading troops in front were completely bombarded by the fierce artillery fire, the follow-up troops continued their efforts. It rushed hundreds of miles away.
As a result, in just three bombardments, the vulture army approached Song Zhong's fleet and launched a ferocious attack on the flying boat.
Their sharp claws scratched the flying boat's body-protecting divine light. Although one or two would not have any impact on the divine light, when tens of thousands of vultures catch it together, even a giant 5,000-foot-long vulture Feizhou could not turn a blind eye to such a powerful attack. The protective divine light soon began to tremble violently, forcing the flower demons to increase the input of fairy energy into the defensive formation.
At this point, there is no longer any use for the dragon pattern cannon, because as long as the sound of the cannon is fired, it will inevitably hit the densely packed vulture spirits outside, and then explode near the flying boat. At that time, the vultures did not kill many, Song Zhong's The flying boat might be blown to pieces by the dragon pattern cannon first.
Therefore, Song Zhong ordered the cannon fire to stop early, and then asked the flower demons to go on the deck and take action personally.
As Song Zhong's order was issued, tens of thousands of flower demons appeared on each flying boat. They stood all over the ship and released their magic weapons to attack the vultures outside.
Although these flower demons are not very powerful, and are only at the distraction stage at worst, they are unable to withstand the power of the magic weapons in their hands. Although they are all low-level fairy weapons, they are not powerful enough for their level. To put it bluntly, it is already considered a very good piece of equipment.
Even if you are a heavenly soldier or a general, you will definitely not be able to use any magical weapons during your distraction period. That is why Song Zhong, a prodigal, was so extravagant.
After dismantling the garbage mountain in the Eastern Emperor Realm, he couldn't use up the materials at all, so he naturally used some of them to arm his men. This allowed the flower demons below him to use fairy weapons.
The power of immortal weapons is naturally extraordinary. Those with immortal weapons and those without immortal weapons are basically two levels. As soon as these flower demons' magical weapons were launched, they immediately released thousands of rays of light, beating the vultures outside the flying boat to pieces, leaving a mess of casualties.
…
Emperor Gouchen who was in the Sun God Boat was immediately shocked when he saw this. Not only him, but also the people around him were shocked.
You know, although low-level immortal weapons are nothing in their eyes, the number of low-level immortal weapons that arm millions of subordinates is simply shocking.
Even an emperor with rich assets like Emperor Gouchen can only equip the most elite imperial guards with immortal weapons, while other ordinary soldiers can only be equipped with Zhu Rongtian's standard armor.
And Song Zhong is just a small realm lord, and he has only been in the immortal realm for a few hundred years. How can he have such a rich family fortune
Don't forget, he sold Emperor Gouchen the materials for 20 thousand-mile city defenses in one go. Coupled with the equipment he has, how many resources does he have at his disposal? I'm afraid they can be compared with Zhu Rongtian who provided logistics for the five heavenly emperors.
This astonishing conclusion shocked Emperor Gouchen and his confidants, and they couldn't help but look at Song Zhong again.
At this moment, Song Zhong's flying boat fleet finally suppressed the Vulture's offensive.
After all, the flower demons are protected by Feizhou's body-protecting divine light, so they don't need to worry about their own safety, they just need to attack with all their strength. In addition, they were numerous in number and had sharp weapons. If they fought back with all their strength, they would naturally take advantage. All the vulture spirits who dared to get close to the flying boat were attacked by their sharp attacks.
Although the vultures were extremely ferocious and launched wave after wave of attacks, it was a pity that they were unable to break through the shield of the flying boat in a short time and could not harm the flower demon inside.
However, they themselves suffered heavy casualties under the counterattack of the flower demons. Burning essence and blood would originally reduce their strength. If they encountered an army of flower demons that were no less numerous than them but had better equipment than them, they would naturally be defeated by the medicine. There was a ruckus.
Finally, after less than half an hour of fighting between the two sides, the vultures could no longer hold on.
On the way to the charge, as many as one or two million were killed, and in half an hour of fierce battle, nearly two million more died at the hands of millions of flower demons. Looking at the rest, Feizhou's fur was not even chewed off. Hundreds of troops were fine. If they continued to fight, they would be seeking death, so they immediately lost their will to fight.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the remaining vultures quickly flew away and did not dare to get close to the flying boat. But their distance gave the dragon-marked cannon another chance. The dragon-marked cannon, which had been silent for a long time, roared again. The fire cloud formed after millions of shells exploded and instantly drowned the remaining vultures alive. !
As a result, the world was instantly cleared, and only a few thousand vultures escaped, whining and flying into the distance.
Feizhou's dragon-marked cannon is naturally powerful against large and large-area enemies, but it is difficult to accurately hit a single small target. If you want to kill all those who have escaped, you can't do it unless you fire a salvo again.
But a few thousand tiny vultures are clearly not worth spending millions of rounds. So Song Zhong ignored them and continued to command the army to move forward.
…
Although Song Zhong temporarily achieved a great victory, in fact he only defeated a small vanguard. This loss was nothing more than drizzle to the demon world. So Song Zhong was not happy about it.
On the other hand, Emperor Gou Chen came over with a smile and said: "Haha, not bad, not bad. It seems that I have chosen the right person. The combat effectiveness of my nephew's fleet is really unmatched. I originally thought you couldn't deal with so many vultures. Unexpectedly, you wiped them all out without any damage, what a terrible future!"
"Don't dare, don't dare!" Song Zhong hurriedly said modestly, and then said with a wry smile: "These vultures are just cannon fodder. They don't even have long-range attacks. There are no strong ones among them. Their combat effectiveness is extremely low. They are obviously used to test us. . I believe that we will face a more terrifying opponent soon!"
"Haha, don't worry, aren't we still here?" Emperor Gou Chen said with a smile: "With a fleet as strong as yours, coupled with my elite division, I believe that even if we are really surrounded by monsters, we will not be able to survive." You can save the day from danger!”
"Haha, I hope so!" Song Zhong smiled.
However, before Song Zhong finished speaking, a large black cloud suddenly appeared in the distant horizon. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a terrifying legion composed of countless demons and monsters. Looking at this posture, the demon clan's general attack has clearly begun!
