The seawater evaporated furiously, burned straight into a huge basin. The reefs on the seabed were exposed in the shallow-water area for a time, but the Nine-Headed Serpent had already vanished.
Several seconds later, the surrounding seawater finally surged madly into the basin, filling it once more.
At that moment, the battle before them had completely exceeded the Dark Elf army's initial expectations.
The Black Sail Warships on the sea had been suppressed so thoroughly by Great Zhou's dwarf artillery corps that they could barely raise their heads, while the Nine-Headed Serpent's attacks had also been forcibly pinned down by the elven mages and Elf God Archers.
For a time, the Dark Elf army had actually come under suppression from every direction. All hopes of breaking out had suddenly been placed on the Harpy forces.
They were counting on the Harpy forces to disrupt the enemy and lessen the pressure, giving them an opportunity to land and charge into the formation, then fight for a chance at victory in close combat.
However, Eredar had previously used the Harpies' manpower to repeatedly wear down Great Zhou's and the elves' garrison forces. After so many rounds of attrition, the Harpies' numbers had already been severely depleted.
Originally, in a frontal clash, the Harpy forces could still be used as a major combat force by relying on their numbers.
Now, their numbers were gone, their individual combat ability was relatively weak, and, most importantly, the Great Zhou and elven garrisons here had already fought the Harpies several times. They had fought them enough to gain experience.
With the Harpy forces deployed now, it truly would not be easy for them to shake the enemy.
"You might want to turn around and take a look. Your forces look like they're about to collapse."
