Countless vibrant lives vanished without a sound under the attack of the energy beams; the impact of this attack on other life forms is unimaginable.
Those Water Marsh People who weren't within the attack range watched as the seawater around them disappeared vertically.
A massive crater appeared in the middle of the ocean, and everything within it vanished. Those who were united in hatred just a moment ago were nowhere to be found.
Although the surrounding seawater surged into the pit due to Gravity, and their bodies were also thrown into the pit by the surging seawater, they vaporized and disappeared the moment they entered the pit and touched the energy beam.
An attack power of 30,000 to 100,000 is already the lower and upper limit of Level Three Great Wizard's attack range; dealing with these Water Marsh People would result in instant death upon contact.
Even more terrifying is that the mothership's attacks, whether from the main guns or secondary guns, are all energy attacks. They don't end instantly; the timing of the attack can be adjusted as needed.
The attack control time for this 200,000 secondary guns is... five seconds!
Two hundred thousand cannons were neatly positioned and fired in one direction.
As the attack energy beam passes, a clear attack trail can be seen high in the sky, drawn in the ocean—a path of death, churning with waves but sparsely populated with life!
Countless lives have been lost to secondary guns.
Five seconds later,
[Secondary gun attack complete, general offensive begins!]
"Roar"
The long-suffering slave army instantly charged towards the sea. The Water Marsh People, having just recovered from the terrifying attack, immediately engaged the slave army in fierce combat.
The entire ocean was churning wildly, and the waves generated by the battle could rise hundreds of meters high. These were no longer waves; they were a tsunami!
Leo carefully observed the battlefield on the sea surface, and at the same time released his spiritual perception. He could see that beneath the sea surface, countless Water Marsh People were stirring up a large amount of undercurrents, dragging slaves one by one into the depths of the ocean.
Although the slaves were all at the official level, with many at the second and third levels, and could not be drowned by seawater, their combat power in the deep sea was clearly inferior to that of these Water Marsh People.
On the surface of the sea, the slave army still had the upper hand, but once they reached the depths of the ocean, the slaves would be severely suppressed.
Whether in terms of movement, speed, or attack power, the Water Marsh People excels in the deep sea.
Any life form that uses a single elemental energy can unleash terrifying attack power in its preferred environment.
Compared to their counterparts, these Water Marsh People are more than 20% more powerful in the deep sea than under normal circumstances, while slave armies are generally weakened by 15% to 40% in the deep sea.
This is the power of utilizing the energy of a single element to a high level!
However, their strengths are often their weaknesses. These Water Marsh People are incredibly skilled at using water-based energy, but once they lose their water-based energy, their strength will drop by more than 30%. At this point, when facing opponents of the same level, they will be at a complete disadvantage!
Everyone witnessed the fate of the slave army. The wizard army did not join the battle. Instead, under the command of the central command, battle formations composed of thousands of wizards circled in mid-air, forming strange shapes.
Twenty million wizards simultaneously raised their staffs, whispering incantations. Their chanting, however soft, drowned out all the roars and screams on the battlefield.
The slave army, locked in combat with the Water Marsh People in the sea, seemed to receive a signal. They ceased their fighting and flew into the air, leaving behind a group of Water Marsh People bewildered by what had happened.
As the majority of the slave army flew out of the sea, twenty million wizards simultaneously unleashed their spells upon the surface.
It's not some profound witchcraft, just the simplest freezing spell.
However, with twenty million wizards working together, they instantly drained all the water elemental energy in the surrounding area, Ice Seal the sea surface within a radius of hundreds of kilometers.
Not only is the sea surface Ice Seal, but even 300 meters below the surface, there is low-temperature ice.
The collective release of twenty million wizards not only drained all the surrounding water energy, but also froze a huge ice block in the sea, spanning a hundred miles in diameter and more than three hundred meters deep!
This is no longer ice; it is a massive island made of Ice.
Countless lives were frozen inside, including Water Marsh People, deep-sea monsters, and even a portion of the slave army that hadn't had time to leave.
Their breaths were still there, but they were covered by a thick, solid layer of ice, preserving the last moments of their movements before they were frozen.
Their eyes were filled with terror, but they couldn't even blink; they looked like frozen fish being sold at a market in the dead of winter!
It's unimaginable how many lives were frozen in that instant. Leo couldn't count each life precisely either, but he could roughly estimate that more than 15 million lives were frozen!
Looking down from the mothership, Leo could see that the twenty million wizards forming a strange shape in mid-air was not a strange shape at all, but an enormous Energy Absorption Magic Array.
This is a magic array node formed by a battle formation consisting of dozens of thousands of wizards, which absorbs as much water-based energy from the air as possible while consuming only a small amount of the wizards' magic power.
[ The Ice Seal Wizard Array has been successfully completed; proceed with the demolition plan!]
[All slave armies and warships protect the wizard!]
Under the command of the central command, the slave army instantly flew into the air and blocked the wizard army, ready to meet the attack of the Water Marsh People at any time.
Following the orders from the command center, the wizard army quickly adjusted their positions to ensure the completion of the following magic array formation as quickly as possible!
The Water Marsh People, who were outside the frozen land, saw the suddenly appearing Ice Seal continent and the countless kinsmen inside. They frantically hurled their weapons at the frozen continent, trying to rescue their people.
However, their attacks seemed to hit solid metal mountains rather than ice blocks, only managing to break off ice shards the size of fingernails. It would take an unknown number of years to completely open up the entire frozen continent.
Watching the wizards shifting formation in the sky, these Water Marsh People sensed an unprecedented danger.
We can't let them continue attacking, otherwise none of these tribesmen will survive.
Some Water Marsh People flew out of the water and charged into the air. They had just been stunned by the instantaneous Ice Seal attack, which was beyond their imagination.
But once you sort out your thoughts, you'll realize that if you interrupt those wizards, they won't be able to continue their attack.
What they need to do now is rush forward and interrupt those despicable wizards' attacks!
One Water Marsh People flew into the air, followed by countless other Water Marsh People.
But before they could even reach the wizard army, an army of countless slaves with bloodshot eyes charged forward.
These mudfish, who only knew how to hide in the water, have finally dared to fly out of the water. What awaits them is the frenzied slaughter of the slave army!
Once out of the water, and with the surrounding water elemental energy drained by the army of twenty million wizards, the attack power these Water Marsh People could unleash was extremely limited.
In the eyes of those Ice Seal Water Marsh People, their kin who flew into the air were instantly dismembered into countless pieces, and before they could fall back to the sea and return to the embrace of the sacred Mother Ocean, they were devoured by the claws of those wizards!
No one from the Water Marsh People could break through the defenses formed by the slave army. In fact, because there were too few Water Marsh People, there weren't enough to go around, which led to a small-scale riot among some hungry slaves who were fighting over the Water Marsh People!
The Water Marsh People charged into the sky wave after wave, clashing fiercely with the slave army, desperately trying to break through their defenses. However, their strength had been severely weakened, and they were no match for the slave army.
Flying up there would be like delivering food to the slave army!
Finally, after the Water Marsh People paid a heavy price in lives, the twenty million wizards have completed their adjustment!!!
An unprecedentedly powerful energy fluctuation appeared, as if the entire sky had changed color.
As the energy fluctuations grew stronger, countless Water Marsh People were plunged into despair.
No outward manifestation of energy appeared; only an invisible force descended upon the Ice Seal continent.
"Boom"
The Ice Seal continent, spanning hundreds of miles and three hundred meters thick, exploded instantly, scattering countless ice shards in the air like a fairy's sprinkle of ice crystals and snow.
But beneath this icy, snowy landscape lies the death of over 15 million lives!
[The demolition plan was successfully completed; prepare for the next Ice Seal operation!]
The command center's indifferent voice seemed completely oblivious to the deaths of 15 million people. In their eyes, only the expedition was progressing smoothly; those not belonging to their expeditionary force were not worth considering.
No life matters to them; they're just cold numbers!
In fact, besides the various attack plans on the front lines, there are many other plans that are unknown to ordinary wizards.
For example, based on information provided by the Interstellar Wanderer, they have already created various toxins specifically targeting the Water Marsh People.
The reason for not deploying it immediately was to test the toxin's effects on living organisms after landing.
After all, the information provided by the Interstellar Wanderer was from three thousand years ago, and no one knows how much the Water Marsh People have evolved in that time.
While the battlefield outside was engulfed in carnage, dozens of laboratories on the second deck of the mothership were conducting toxin experiments and other targeted diffusion experiments on the Water Marsh People.
Given some time to verify the success of these experiments, the toxins will be released immediately, severely weakening all life in the Marsh World!
In the early stages of a war, there is no need to capture prisoners. Only when the war is won with absolute advantage will large-scale capture of prisoners be carried out to sell them for money.
In the eyes of a seasoned Level-Five Stigmata Wizard like the Interstellar Wanderer, the money from selling prisoners was no longer of any concern; his desires had shifted from money to other things.
For example, the special treasures born from this world, mentioned by that World Lord... the Water Element Essence!
