Ocean and Sky Go to War!

Paradise Island, a lonely island at sea.

Among the archipelago at sea, this is considered a relatively large island.

According to statistics, excluding the dead Winged Human, the total number of Winged Human on the island is only over 1,400.

This number sounds like a lot, but it's actually pitifully small.

It should be noted that every sequence has a thousand men under its command from the moment it arrives.

Now, 200 years later, the population of Paradise Island has increased by only 400 people compared to 200 years ago.

Part of the reason is the limited size of the island, but a larger reason is that the Winged Human have migrated many times.

However, each migration resulted in them being swept away by the waves, leaving the Winged Human with only this one island to this day, and the population of the older generation is constantly decreasing.

Currently, there are still quite a few Winged Human wandering overseas; if we estimate, there should be between one thousand and two thousand.

The Winged Human are not particularly strong, but they possess an extremely terrifying ability to evolve.

The Winged Human were initially only at the Second Tier, and they sought to evolve from the Voice of All Things.

The ocean was originally the natural enemy of the winged people. Once they fell into the water, they could never climb out again. Their wings would get wet from the seawater, and they would fall down continuously.

Therefore, the first challenge the winged people had to overcome was the ocean.

They listened to the sound of the sea, so that their feathers would no longer be afraid of the seawater.

However, they are not 023 after all.

Their evolutionary speed cannot be compared with that of 023; it took them nearly a century just to overcome the ocean.

After conquering the ocean, they began to listen to the sounds of the storms, and they tried to control the sky and manipulate the atmosphere!

In the previous probing, the winged people had always maintained absolute air superiority, which was precisely the weak point of the ocean-dwelling races.

However, correspondingly, the Ocean Empire also held absolute control of the sea.

In terms of individual strength, the Feathered People are far superior to the Soth of the deep sea.

Two hundred years ago, the life level of the Feathered People was generally below the third rank, but two hundred years later, the third rank has become the average level.

In comparison, the lower limit of the Ocean Empire's combat power distribution is lower.

Tier 1 and Second Tier units are all common marine units, while Tier 3 and above are very rare, and are generally elite units.

The Ocean Empire does not have any directly available Tier 4 units, but it has a large population, currently around 140,000.

Despite their previous wars, the soldiers they sent out were just the tip of the iceberg; their true army remained stationed deep beneath the sea.

The Feathered People tend to follow an elite route; very few of them are at the Second Tier, and their individual combat strength is generally at the third rank.

Even if they are all at the third rank, there would be no more than three thousand people at most.

Taking Paradise Island wouldn't be difficult, but once the winged people switch to aerial combat, they won't be able to advance any further.

Therefore, Li Yuan has been thinking about countermeasures all these years.

Fishman cannot fly, that much is unchangeable, but the higher-ranking Fishman priest units can perform rituals.

The three rituals currently available are tide summoning, rainmaking, and summoning.

Previously, summoning tides and bringing rain were very useful, but now they are useless; the winged people can go into the water and come out unharmed.

So, back to the summoning ritual, the summoning ritual can summon up to the third-tier flying summons, which has become the only way to compete with the Winged People for air supremacy.

With their numerical advantage, as long as there are enough priests, they can completely fight against the winged people with summoned creatures.

So, setting that aside, what truly troubled Li Yuan were the twelve rarely seen masters among the Feathered People.

The Twelve Apostles have been protecting the Winged King since their birth; this is the meaning of their existence.

The two kings in the ocean, in cooperation with Li Yuan, dispatched several third-tier assassins who sneaked into the temple.

They were not trying to assassinate the king, but rather to get close to the twelve apostles.

After Li Yuan confirmed it multiple times, he came to the conclusion of a terrible fact.

Those twelve apostles were twelve fourth-order beings!

This is really outrageous.

If he had been born in the Central Continent, the Twelve Apostles could have swept across the Central Continent in one fell swoop, and even Starry Sky Principal would have had to obediently give way.

However, it's a bit of a shame about Starry Sky Principal. His followers' growth abilities were just as strong, but the time was too short.

The kingdom fell in thirteen years, and by then he already had quite a few third-tier beings under his command.

If he were to live to this day, 200 years from now, a fourth-order being would inevitably emerge from among them.

The most regrettable thing is that Gawain, who had almost reached the fourth level after the last battle, was overwhelmed by the sheer number of enemies. The army pressed forward, the city fell and people died, and even the fourth level was powerless to turn the tide.

After Li Yuan launched his campaign, Mo also launched his campaign, and they both headed straight for each other's Main City with perfect coordination.

But Li Yuan was clearly faster!

He had already had his army lying in ambush in the waters around Paradise Island. As soon as the Feather Clan made a move, towering waves swept directly towards Paradise Island!

The sea creature army surged up with the waves, bringing with it an endless night of nightmares!

Nightmares are flying creatures summoned by ocean priests. They grab Fishman and carry Fishman into the sky, or simply take to the sky themselves!

The Fishman wore armor made of Yang Huang Alloy, which gleamed with a dazzling golden light under the sunlight!

The moment the huge wave surged up, the sea surface was filled with golden light!

The weapons they carried were specially made for the winged people; they were harpoons with chains attached!

The weapons have hook-shaped or pointed ends, and all are equipped with long chains!

A Fishman was being pulled into the sky by Nightmare, and the chains in his hands began to spin, hooking directly onto the wing of a winged man!

"Birdman, come play down here!"

Thump!

The Fishman yanked the chain, dragging the winged man headlong into the deep sea!

However, the winged man was extremely powerful. He flapped his wings to summon a storm, and a surge of air rose up, actually carrying the Fishman into the sky!

Upon seeing this, the Fishman immediately shouted, "Quick, help!!"

Upon hearing the Fishman's words, countless fishhooks were swung out and hooked onto the winged man!

It took more than a dozen Fishman working together to barely pull the winged man down!

At this moment, the huge wave had already reached the top of Paradise Island. Countless winged people rushed into the sky and gathered together to form a terrifying vortex, using the power of the storm to forcefully break through the waves!

The Winged King remained seated inside the temple, looking out with an air of arrogance. "The people of the Abyss came prepared, and so did we," he said.

Standing beside the Winged King were twelve Feathered People dressed in white. Unlike ordinary Feathered People, each of them had eight pure white and sacred wings.

They stood there motionless, holding different weapons, like stone statues.

It's worth mentioning that their weapons were all stolen from the Ocean Empire.

They only have such a small area, no mines, no technology, so they can only plunder Li Yuan's weapons and equipment from the Ocean Empire.

Even so, the looted items still couldn't arm all the Winged Human.

Armor is too heavy and would slow down the Winged Human's flight speed, so they never wear armor.

However, the weapons of the Ocean Empire were used by almost everyone.

After all, the winged people also need to eat, and their food source is the ocean. Using the weapons of the Ocean Empire to hunt marine creatures has always been their way of survival.
