C23 He Had a Dead Rat by His Waist Pretending to be a Hunter

1In the sky, the Flyer followed the moving city from afar.    2

    

Although flying down would allow them to observe more clearly, but out of caution, the Flyer still chose to fly higher, hiding their figures within the clouds.    

    

After witnessing the scene of the light spear flying recklessly, the Flyer did not dare to bet their lives on whether the other party's attack could reach the sky or not.    

    

The situation was too different from what they had expected. The Flyer originally thought that they could witness the god of these shrimp people, the powerful existence that had defeated them. They did not expect that the shrimp people still hid such a powerful combat strength.    

    

However... they had chosen a bad opportunity.    

    

The Flyer in the sky looked down at the entire battlefield. With the moving valley as the center, waves were surging from all directions.    

    

There was also the thickest wave that was rushing over from afar at a leisurely pace. It was Dark Spawn's iron fist. Now, this iron fist was ready to strike.    

    

The Deep One was hunting, and the prey was a moving city.    

    

Recalling the storm of light spears, the Flyer looked down at the valley that had already been surrounded.    

    

What other powers are you hiding?    

    

————————    

    

In the stone room at the top of the stone wall, Shrimp Leader observed the battlefield and silently calculated the situation.    

    

The enemy did not chase after them recklessly. Instead, they only started to chase after them after delaying for some time. Their speed was neither fast nor slow, so the enemy must have made specific arrangements in front of them.    

    

No, they must have completed the encirclement. That was why they were in such a stance. The enemy did not need to be in a hurry. As long as they were held back, the troops that swarmed over would tear the people on fire into pieces.    

    

This was different from the previous wars, this kind of action... the enemy had a higher authority commander?    

    

However, judging from the power displayed by the people of the Fire Nation, it was normal for the enemy to increase the intensity of their attacks.    

    

Then... how should we deal with it?    

    

Shrimp Leader recalled the scene when he fought with the Deep One.    

    

It was equivalent to... Without a doubt, the prawn people were powerful. They wore heavy shells and were tall and strong. They wielded the blades on their limbs and easily cut the Deep One in half.    

    

However, the Deep One didn't advocate fighting one on one. When facing the prawn men, it was a one-versus-one-versus-one-versus-one-versus-one-versus-one-versus-one-versus-one-versus-one-versus-one fight. Usually, a dozen or so Deep One would form a team, and some would be in charge of attracting the attention from the front. Some were responsible for using spears and tridents to stab from the side. There were also the powerful Deep One that used axes and war hammers. They would shatter the hard shell covering the shrimp people when they were being harassed by attacks.    

    

Countless shrimp people were dying under the precise and efficient strategy of the Deep One.    

    

Then... what was the method to break it?    

    

Shrimp Leader thought of the battle to extinguish the fire.    

    

"The third structure is closed. Seven, twelve nodes. Activate fifteen, eighteen nodes." Shrimp Leader waved his limbs and issued an order. "Activate the fifth structure. The seventh structure. If the enemy wants to paste us into mud, then we will break this shell!"    

    

"Also, have the soldiers stand by and be ready to engage in close combat at any time."    

    

They were going to fight with their lives on the line.    

    

————————    

    

When he received the order to surround them, Deep One Priest was still holding half a piece of fish meat in his hand.    

    

"What is it?" Deep One Priest's words were ambiguous. He had not yet swallowed the food in his mouth.    

    

"Order the priests. The target is the enemy's valley. The order is to surround and hunt." The Deep One that gave the order was neither servile nor overbearing. "The enemy can project light spears to launch long-range attacks, but they cannot attack underwater. All soldiers are not allowed to surface. If they discover that the target is not allowed to fight, immediately call for allies."    

    

"Understood." Deep One Priest casually threw the fish meat in his hand away. The important matter was to put aside the food first. He did not have the courage to compete with the priest group.    

    

But what was with the priest group?    

    

Riding on the waves of the warriors, Deep One Priest outlined the meaning behind this command in his mind.    

    

Deep One Priest knew about the luxurious line-up formed by three full Oracles. He also knew that they led five elite legions to attack those shrimp people, but why was it his turn?    

    

Deep One Priest also knew about the valley of the shrimp people. An army had been fighting there for a long time, but it had not been eaten. It was a hard bone. Then, a god came out of nowhere. When the legion was about to complete its occupation, it inserted a hand and directly broke the legion inside. Only the priest managed to escape.    

    

The news reported by the priest attracted the attention of the priest regiment. An observation regiment led by an elder came to the front line. After confirming that the enemy had the help of a god, the priest regiment played some tricks and attracted the wind god. However, the wind god had disappeared after the battle with the enemy god.    

    

After that was the appearance of the army known as Dark Spawn's Iron Fist.    

    

So what was the situation now? The enemy's valley had legs and could run? And they even shot spears of light to kill a large number of elite soldiers? Dark Spawn's iron fist did not crush the enemy, but instead allowed the enemy to escape in front of him? He still had to let a random army like him wash their butts?    

    

Besides, he also knew that the shrimp man had suffered the blow of the God of Wind. If the enemy really had the strength to fight, why would he run away?    

    

"What kind of joke is this..." Controlling the waves, Deep One Priest complained, "Am I awake or are they awake?"    

    

Deep One Priest was still following orders. He did not want to be caught by the men of the priest group and killed.    

    

On the horizon, the moving valley gradually appeared.    

    

"I..." Deep One Priest pinched himself. He would rather not wake up.    

    

He won the first prize.    

    

Deep One Priest was a little excited. If he could get rid of these enemies before the priest group, this kind of achievement would be enough for him to be recorded in history, and even become an elder.    

    

He had to calm down. Deep One Priest took a deep breath. The air with the fishy smell of the sea calmed him down. The order of the priest group was that the enemy could shoot light spears to launch long-range attacks. As long as they were underwater, it was safe. It was a feasible plan to let the soldiers penetrate into the valley through the waves.    

    

After arranging for the messenger to inform the allies, Deep One Priest rode the waves and charged towards the enemy city.    

    

Everything was hidden under the wave, the enemy's long-range attacks would not work. The wave that had begun to accumulate power was very fast. The enemy city would not be able to escape.    

    

Run... could not run away?    

    

Why did the enemy city not turn around, but charged straight at the waves?    

    

Didn't the enemy know that the warriors hidden in the waves only needed one contact to charge into the valley?    

    

As long as the valley fell into chaos, the valley that lost the ability to move would become a natural cemetery. The legions that surrounded them would tear the enemies into pieces. Even the gods could not save them. Did they really not know?    

    

The valley continued to charge forward, as if rushing to death, pressing forward with indomitable will.    

    

Lightning flashed in Deep One Priest's eyes.    

    

He no longer needed to let his imagination run wild.    

    

He had achieved his wish in another form. He had indeed been recorded in the annals of history.    

    

He was the first priest to die in the battle between the Deep One and the shrimp people.
