Liu Zhi had no idea that the Broken Blade Fishmen had their eyes on him and had marked him as a target for a direct assault.
At that moment, he was looking over the entire sea rather than focusing only on the battlefield before him.
Liu Zhi planned to use this opportunity to see if he could take down a Fishman force outright.
So he gradually turned his attention away from the battle in front of him and began to fall back to the second line.
Just then, Liu Zhi sensed something. He looked up toward the sea and saw a gigantic crab appear on the surface.
It was a land crab, only much larger than usual. When it raised itself up, its body stood at least forty meters tall. Its two massive claws looked like enormous shields, clearly capable of blocking most physical attacks.
A large number of Fishmen stood on its back, around three thousand in all. Judging by their weapons and the crab itself, these giant crabs were the Fishmen's siege engines.
But what good would sending out a siege engine at a time like this do?
Before Liu Zhi could figure it out, four more crabs of the same size emerged from beneath the sea.
More than three thousand Fishmen rode on each of these crabs as well. It was clear they planned to charge across the open ground outside Liu Zhi's walls and carry the Fishmen up to the ramparts.
This caught Liu Zhi off guard. If he were the Fishmen's commander and had a weapon like this, he would have deployed it right after the first probing attack instead of piling up corpses to build ladders.
But the situation clearly didn't look like the Fishmen's commander had lost his mind.
Liu Zhi simply couldn't
