The Final Battle Formation Begins, a Vice Admiral Falls, Sakazuki Furiously Kills a Celestial Dragon!
"Lord Gringu, the Holy Land Guard's defenses are about to crumble! The Marines's offensive is too fierce!" A CP member knelt on one knee before Saint Figarland, speaking anxiously.
Saint Figarland's expression wasn't very good at the moment either.
"Useless, all of you are useless! Didn't you say that when it comes to naval warfare, the Marines reigns supreme, and when it comes to land defense, can the Holy Land Guardians defeat the Marines and leave them bewildered? How come it's only been a short time? Not even a day has passed, and the defense line is already about to collapse!?" Saint Figarland cursed.
The others didn't dare to speak either, for fear of offending him.
At the same time, Saint Figarland also sensed something was wrong and a crisis was brewing. It seemed that the army on Mary Geoise, as well as their commanders and knights, were all caught in a problem.
That is, they are all ambitious and can only tolerate praise. They all like to boast and brag, as if Mary Geoise is the best in the world.
Thinking about it carefully, although the Holy Land Guard selects only the strongest and most robust warriors, uses the most sturdy armor and advanced weapons, and eats the best food, in reality, they don't have much combat experience!
Compared to the elite Marines under Ortolan's command, which fought New World, the difference was immediately apparent.
Before they started fighting, both sides were full of momentum. But once they started fighting, the Marines dominated them and beat them so badly that they screamed in pain!
Of course, the Holy Land Guards are not truly useless. Given their almost complete lack of combat experience, their ability to persist in their current state is quite remarkable, making them a formidable force.
Saint Figarland glanced discreetly at the knights behind him, secretly wondering if these knights, who were said to be no weaker Admiral, were also just all show and no substance.
After all, although they often sparred with each other, it was mostly just a contest of their own abilities; they rarely engaged in real combat.
How could they, noble Celestial Dragons, possibly do such a dangerous thing?
With these thoughts in mind, there was no time to waste.
Once the Holy Land Guard's defensive line is breached, the CP's defensive line cannot last long either. After all, although the CP members have higher combat strength and practical experience than the Holy Land Guard, their methods are different. The CP is, after all, a special agency. They can handle one-on-one assassinations and sneak attacks, but when it comes to forming battle formations and engaging in large-scale frontal warfare, they probably won't be able to keep up.
"In the end, we're the ones who have to go first..." Saint Figarland thought bitterly.
In times like these, when war breaks out, both the Marines and their side are deploying conventional-level forces, that is, military forces. Obviously, whoever first deploys their superior individual combat power will be at a disadvantage on the battlefield, losing three points before the battle even begins.
But since things have come to this point, all we can do is try our best!
Saint Figarland drew his Blade of Judgment from his waist, raised it high before him, and declared in a resounding voice, "For years, we Celestial Dragons have been the nobles of this world, the most esteemed race on this vast ocean. This is because our ancestors created this world; we are descendants of the Creator. Now, a bunch of lowly commoners beneath the Holy Land dare to try and seize our power and status. This is simply a crime deserving of death! We, the Holy Knights, are the most outstanding members of the entire Celestial Dragons race, warriors of God and the Creator. Today, we will let those despicable traitors know that we are powerful and invincible!"
As the eighteen knights Saint Figarland speaking, they simultaneously drew their swords and held them high in front of them!
Behind them, a large number of knights and squires quickly knelt on one knee as a sign of respect.
Seeing this, Saint Figarland nodded in satisfaction, then roared, "Holy Knights, heed my command! All troops, attack! Crush these rebels! Let the glory of God and the honor of creation once again fill the entire sea! Victory is assured!!!"
As soon Saint Figarland led the Holy Knights to move, the entire CP defense line and all the fighting forces in the Holy Knights pressed down on the Holy Land Guard's defense line.
The decisive battle is about to begin!
Meanwhile, in the Marines camp, Vice Admiral Dalmatian, looking excited, lifted the curtain and walked in. "Report, eyewitness account from the front lines, the Holy Knights have been mobilized!"
Upon hearing this, Ortolan slammed his fist on the table and shouted, "Alright, Sakazuki, according to the plan, with you at the core, form an officer squad and launch an attack to confront this damned Holy Knights. Crush them, blast them apart, kill them, and show them what a real Marine Admiral is!"
Sakazuki immediately stood up, a glint of excitement in his eyes, and replied, "Yes, all for justice!"
After responding to the question, he hesitated for a moment, but ultimately couldn't bring himself to say the word 'loyalty'.
Soon, Sakazuki led his team away from the Marines camp, and then Momonga, Hoshigaki, Kaisa, Onigumo, Doberman, Dalmatian and others went to the front line.
After Sakazuki led his team away, Ortolan instructed, "Kuzan, Borsalino, you two also lead your teams to cover the retreat. Although we must despise the enemy, we must not be arrogant. Keep a close eye on this so-called Divine Knights."
On the front lines of the battlefield, the Divine Knights, led by Saint Figarland, swiftly stormed into the chaotic battlefield, instantly displaying overwhelming strength.
They almost broke the Marines's offensive formation.
Wielding a massive hand cannon, Stralt Vice Admiral blasted a Holy Land Guard captain into a bloody pulp with a single shot, scattering his body across the ground.
The next second, a knight in heavy armor cleaved the aide next to Stralt Vice Admiral Stralt in two strokes, and then kicked Lieutenant Vice Admiral Stralt in the chest.
A surge of powerful energy erupted instantly. Stralt, a meritorious official, was quite strong and had undergone some physical modifications, but at most he had reached the threshold of Vice Admiral. He was still no match for the knights of the Divine Knights.
Struck by the kick, his burly figure flew backward, rolling more than ten times on the ground before coming to a stop.
Before he could even get up, the heavily armored knight was already in front of him again, his ferocious eyes peeking out from the gaps in his helmet that covered his entire head.
"You lowly traitor, may divine punishment befall you today!" the knight roared, slashing his sword down at Lieutenant Vice Admiral Stralt.
With a snap, Stralt only had time to raise one arm to defend himself before it was severed. This gave him a moment to catch his breath, and a device on his body activated.
His face, stained with blood, wore a maniacal grin. With his only remaining arm, he grabbed the knight's leg and roared, "I've been tired of living for a long time! Damn it, you bastard, you'll die with me!"
Long before his family was killed by pirates, long before he took revenge by brutally killing the pirates who attacked his hometown, and long before he lost his legs in the Battle of Archino Island, he had already resigned himself to death. Every day he lived was a torment to his heart, as if his daughter and wife were waiting for him and calling out to him.
Finally, he was able to die a glorious death in Mary Geoise, and his wish was finally fulfilled.
In the next instant, to the horrified gaze of the heavily armored knight, Stralt Vice Admiral Stralt self-destructed and sacrificed himself!
The violent explosion swallowed both of them whole.
After the smoke cleared, the knight's heavy armor was shattered, revealing half of his body that had been burned and blasted, but the knight was not killed outright.
As for Lieutenant Vice Admiral Stralt, his body was completely destroyed, vanishing from the world without a trace, leaving only half a cloak bearing the word 'justice'.
"Damn lowly commoners!" the heavily armored knight cursed angrily.
The next second, however, a stream of scorching lava crashed down on his head at incredible speed, instantly engulfing him.
The lava exploded, and the heavily armored knight was already being held by the neck by Sakazuki. At this moment, Sakazuki's eyes flashed with a fierce killing intent, and he said in an icy tone, "He is Vice Admiral of our Marines's honor, not some lowly commoner. And you, all of you, are the real scum and despicable bastards!"
The heavily armored knight seemed to want to struggle a bit, but Sakazuki didn't give him any chance. Ruthless and decisive, with his ruthless methods, was Sakazuki's style of doing things.
The next second, the scorching magma erupted with an irresistible heat, instantly burning the heavily armored knight's body and armor into a lump of black slag.
