Before seeing the group of Fishmen Monster on the beach, Roy was actually quite optimistic about defeating Fishmen Monster.

After all, in yesterday's battle, although the Half-Elf Warrior eventually retreated back into the depths of the jungle, it was a one-sided massacre of the Fishmen Monster by the Half-Elf Warrior from beginning to end.

The disparity in strength between the two sides is so vast that it cannot be bridged by sheer numbers.

But when he saw the large group of Fishmen Monster on the beach in front of him, Roy's confidence crumbled instantly.

These Fishmen Monster seemed to have no idea what the word 'death' meant, and a large number of Fishmen Monster still gathered on the beach.

Besides the ordinary Fishmen Monster we saw yesterday, there were even more powerful Fishmen Monster. These strong Fishmen Monster were riding Giant Toadfish that were not much smaller than walruses.

These Giant Toadfish are covered in slimy seaweed, and their strong fins on their bellies not only support their bodies but also allow them to crawl back and forth on the beach.

The Strong Fishmen were covered in seashells with seaweed hanging from their bodies, and two water bags were tied to their legs. Occasionally, they would pour seawater onto these toadfish to keep their skin moist.

The weapon held in the Strong Fishmen's hand appears to be a trident, which doesn't seem to be made of any metal, but rather more like it's carved from fish bones.

They are not afraid of death at all, and there are so many of them...

Roy felt that defeating these Fishmen Monster and driving Fishmen Monster out of Sun Island Bay might truly require a protracted war.

When the Half-Elf reappeared at the edge of the jungle, their tracks were immediately discovered by the Fishmen Monster on the beach.

These Fishmen Monster, uttering 'woo-li-wa-la' sounds, charged towards the Half-Elf at the edge of the jungle without hesitation, weapons raised...

The bloodstains that stained the beach, and the corpses of so many Fishmen Monster, seemed unable to stop their Fishmen Monster.

Meanwhile, the Strong Fishmen riding toadfish remained on the beach, raising their tridents. Magical rays of light emanated from these Giant Toadfish, and then Roy noticed a giant wave rising on the distant sea.

At first, the giant wave simply formed a row of bulges on the distant sea surface.

Gradually, the bulge transformed into a large wave.

When the giant wave appeared on the beach, it was already four or five meters high, like a herd of horses galloping in the sea, with the spray sweeping over everything and rushing towards the jungle.

A large wave of seawater pushed in, quickly lifting up the Strong Fishmen riding the toadfish.

Giant waves crashed over the Thorn Vines beach, pushing a group of Fishmen Monster riding toadfish toward the edge of the jungle...

The waves also swept up the Fishmen Monster running ahead, all rushing towards the big trees at the edge of the jungle.

At this moment, the Half-Elf Warrior instinctively stood in a row at the edge of the jungle, trying to raise their shields to block the giant wave.

Roy's expression changed, and he shouted to all the well-trained Half-Elf Warrior, "Retreat! Everyone, get behind the big tree!"

Roy shouted as he ran into the woods.

When the Half-Elf Warrior saw Roy leading the way into the woods, they quickly retreated. They were agile, especially in the jungle where they could use the branches around them to help them jump.

As the Half-Elf Warrior ran into the jungle, they jumped onto the trees and moved deeper into the forest.

Then, the giant wave, carrying countless Fishmen Monster, crashed into the trees at the edge of the beach. The trees growing at the very front were instantly and devastated by the wave. The seawater carried a large amount of mud, sand, and Fishmen Monster, and the trees that were knocked down by the seawater were also swept into the tide, impacting the forest.

However, the trees in this forest were too dense, and the giant wave only destroyed the first row of trees before its momentum quickly weakened...

Only seawater containing a large amount of silt kept surging into the forest.

At this time, the Half-Elf Warrior, led by Roy, had taken shelter in some large trees to avoid the impact of the tide.

The woodland was filled with seawater...

The Fishmen Monster swept into the forest by the tide emerged from the muddy seawater between the trees and immediately searched for the Half-Elf Warrior. They discovered that the Half-Elf Warrior had all hidden in the trees in advance, and they immediately let out strange cries.

Countless Fishmen Monster suddenly emerged from the murky seawater in the woods, all of them looking up at the tall tree.

At this moment, the Strong Fishmen riding toadfish also swam into the jungle, Giant Toadfish bulging eyes constantly scanning the surrounding trees.

Just as the Half-Elf Warrior were about to leap from the trees into the muddy woods to engage in a life-or-death struggle with the group of Fishmen Monster, the Giant Toadfish opened their ugly mouths and shot out jets of water from their throats.

The Half-Elf Warrior reacted quickly, blocking with their shields, while some Half-Elf hid behind tree trunks...

Those water arrows seemed incredibly fragile, but when they struck the shields, the arm of Half-Elf Warrior crouching on a tree branch slammed into his chest. One Half-Elf was even knocked off a tree branch by the water arrow and fell into the murky seawater in the forest.

A group of Fishmen Monster saw the Half-Elf Warrior fall from the tree and rushed over to him.

When it runs on land, its two thin legs support its body, and it sways as it runs, as if it is throwing its shoes into the air.

But now the woodland was filled with water, which was only ankle-deep, but the Fishmen Monster were still very agile and swarmed around the Half-Elf Warrior almost before they could even get out of the water.

When Roy saw the Half-Elf slip and fall into the seawater in the woods, he knew something was wrong.

He dared not hesitate and immediately chanted a prayer on the tree, quickly drawing a divine pattern.

A Hammer of Punishment appeared between his hands.

Roy leaped onto the clearing in the woods. The moment his feet touched the water, before the splash of murky water could even disperse, a group of Fishmen Monster surrounded him.

The Hammer of Punishment, formed between his hands by the Holy Light Power, suddenly began to spin rapidly, circling Roy's body and spreading outwards in a spiral.

The Hammer of Punishment whipped up a whirlwind, instantly smashing the horde of Fishmen Monster that had surrounded them, breaking their bones and tendons...

All the Fishmen Monster that surrounded them were blasted away by the Hammer of Punishment.

Roy took the opportunity to move closer to the Half-Elf Warrior who was surrounded by a group of Fishmen Monster.

The other Half-Elf Warrior stood on the branches of the trees, firing Fletched Arrow into the forest clearing to stop the Fishmen Monster ' attack.

The seemingly sentient Hammer of Punishment repelled countless Fishmen Monster. Roy quickly reached the Half-Elf Warrior who had fallen into the mud and stretched out a hand to him...

The Half-Elf Warrior seized the opportunity to stand up from the mud, Roy immediately shouted towards the tree:

"We're retreating..."

After saying that, he and the Half-Elf Warrior quickly climbed up the big tree. By the time the Fishmen Monster surrounded them again, Roy and the Half-Elf Warrior had already escaped safely.

Upon hearing Roy's order, the group of Half-Elf Warrior did not hesitate and retreated northwards...

The Fishmen Monster standing in the mud and water naturally refused to give up and chased after them into the depths of the jungle.

Unfortunately, the tide only surged in for a few dozen meters. As they ran deeper into the jungle, dry soil appeared in the forest clearings, Fishmen Monster to run fast.

A group of Strong Fishmen riding toadfish also chased to the edge of the tide and then stopped.

They could only watch helplessly as the Half-Elf Warrior retreated into the depths of the jungle. This time, the Fishmen Monster had learned their lesson and did not rashly rush into the dark woods.

After driving away the Half-Elf Warrior, they all let out strange cheers...

Roy never expected that there would be such elite warriors riding toadfish among the Fishmen Monster, and these toadfish could not only summon tides, but also spew powerful water arrows.

In the chaotic battle in the jungle just now, the Half-Elf Warrior were clearly at a disadvantage. Wherever there is water, these Fishmen Monster are much stronger.

It now seems these Fishmen Monster are far more powerful than Roy had anticipated...

You know, just last night Roy was so Kaka that these Fishmen Monster were nothing to worry about, but reality has proven him wrong.

Originally, they wanted to run to the beach to scout out enemy positions, but now they could only return to the forest camp looking dejected.

When Roy returned to the forest camp, Kaka had just flown back from patrol. The griffin landed in the forest clearing and ran up to Roy, excitedly saying, "Roy, the weather is exceptionally good today. There are almost no clouds in the sky, and we can see the entire Sun Island Bay. Do you want me to take you out Roy another flight?"

Roy hadn't finished his battle plans and had no intention of fighting the Fishmen Monster. He was somewhat tempted by Kaka's suggestion and agreed:

"Alright, if possible, take me to Sun Island for a look..."

Roy and Kaka then rode the griffins again and flew into the sky.

As the griffin swept past the beach, Roy saw a dense swarm of Fishmen Monster gathered on the shore...

The water in Sun Island Bay is not very clear; in fact, it is somewhat murky at the edges.

In deeper waters, the seawater becomes as clear as a sapphire.

On the sea, Roy saw groups of Fishmen Monster converging on the shoreline where Roy was located...

Sun Island is located in the center of Sun Island Bay, and it looks like a bright pearl set in the sea.

Kaka flew with Roy for nearly an hour before finally arriving over the island. And this Sun Island was enormous, with a land area of at least four square kilometers...

This is the lair of the Fishmen Monster. The beaches around the island are covered with stilted round thatched huts built by the Fishmen Monster. These huts are built in the shallow waters of the beach. The shallow waters around Sun Island are very wide, and the stilted round thatched huts built by the Fishmen Monster here are almost connected in the sea.

The area occupied by these round thatched huts is at least much larger than the Rampart Town.

On Sun Island, those Fishmen Monster can be seen everywhere...

Amidst the layers of thatched huts, groups of Fishmen Monster children ran around, showing that the atmosphere on Sun Island was quite pleasant.

A large number of Fishmen Monster live here.

The area surrounding Sun Island Bay is also a Coral Reef, and the hunting grounds of the Fishmen Monster are located near this Coral Reef.

The lives of the Fishmen Monster are simple. They hunt for food in the sea every day, and after they are full, they find a quiet place to lie down and sleep.

"This is the stronghold of the Fishmen Monster, with probably over 100,000 Fishmen Monster living on this island," Kaka said, turning to Roy.

Roy, however, believed that at least two hundred thousand Fishmen Monster lived on Sun Island...

"The best thing to do is to drive them out of Sun Island Bay so that we can have a complete and beautiful coastline!" Kaka told Roy as he flew.

"That's not easy. Not all demi-humans are willing to leave their hometowns..." Roy replied, sitting behind Kaka.

"We know it's a bit impossible, but at least we need to drive those Fishmen Monster from the north beach to Sun Island," Kaka said, deciding to lower his expectations.

Kaka flew Roy around Sun Island a few times before concluding their reconnaissance mission.

"Let's go back and prepare properly. This time, we must give those Fishmen Monster on the beach a good beating."

Roy patted Kaka on the shoulder and said.

Sun Island Bay is surrounded by a green landmass, and only connects to the sea to the south.

The sea area of Sun Island Bay is hundreds of kilometers wide from east to west. In addition to the hundreds of thousands of Fishmen Monster living on Sun Island, the rest of the coastline has also been occupied by these Fishmen Monster.

Roy returned to the camp in the jungle, Fishmen Monster on the beach had not yet dispersed...

No wonder Kaka said the Fishmen Monster in Sun Island Bay were difficult to deal with; now it seems that what Kaka said was not an exaggeration at all.

Four thousand Elf Warrior arrived at the forest camp one after another, and another five hundred Griffon Cavalry also found a place to stay nearby.

On the third day after arriving at the jungle on the north shore of Sun Island Bay, Roy regrouped and led three thousand Half-Elf Warrior to the edge of the jungle. All the Half-Elf Warrior stood their Iris Shield upright on the ground, with their longswords and spears resting on the shields.

A hail of arrows flew out of the forest and landed on the beach. Some Fishmen Monster were hit by the arrows and quickly fell to the sand...

This time, Roy was well-prepared. When he saw a huge bulge rising from the sea, he immediately ordered all the Half-Elf Warrior to retreat and quickly hide deep in the forest...

When that invincible wave surged in, only a group of Fishmen Monster remained on the battlefield.

Although the beach was littered with the corpses of Fishmen Monster, Fishmen Monster suffered heavy losses, they were still the victors.
