Before long, the warriors of Elbaf were still wielding their giant axes and hammers, guarding this land they had vowed to defend to the death.
However, in the distance, with a series of low rumbles, the horizon on the sea began to ripple.
"The enemy is coming!" A giant warrior on the battlefield was the first to notice the movement, his eyes suddenly sharp as he scanned the distance.
On the sea, a large fleet was rapidly approaching, the black silhouettes of the ships becoming clearer and clearer. From afar, one could see their displacement and equipment, which were significantly more powerful than the previous batch.
"They're here, finally here!" A giant warrior standing nearby smirked, casually swinging the warhammer in his hand. "This is more like it."
The arrival of this batch of enemies was clearly different from the previous rabble.
The ships' paintwork was more refined, and the shape of each ship was more complex, with layers of heavy armor and weapons covering the surface.
This reinforcement was also much larger than before, the fleet uniform and imposing, like black clouds pressing down on the city.
The metallic luster on the hulls and the long-range artillery demonstrated their strength far exceeding the previous batch.
"These are the true colors of the World Government."
The Elder stared intently at the distant fleet, his face solemn.
"They're finally not hiding anymore."
A young warrior beside him gripped the giant axe in his hand, his eyes flashing with excitement:
"This battle looks like it's going to be interesting!"
However, the Elder did not show much excitement, but sighed softly:
"Prepare to meet their strong offensive.
This time, the enemy's offensive will not be as easy as last time."
Sure enough, as the new wave of enemy ships approached, the artillery fire on the sea instantly became more intense.
Huge vibrations came from all directions, as if the entire sea was shaking.
In the distance, the enemy fleet began to fire intensively, the firelight streaking across the battlefield like lightning. Huge shells drew curved trajectories in the air, heading straight for Elbaf's defense line.
"Fire!"
The Elder's voice was calm and firm, resounding throughout Elbaf's command center.
Under his command, Elbaf's counter-firepower quickly unfolded.
With a roar, Elbaf's giant cannon suddenly fired, the huge shell shooting towards the enemy ship with the force of thunder.
The air compressed into an invisible wave as the shell traveled, the surrounding giant warriors tensing their muscles one by one, their pupils fixed on the distant warship, their heartbeats and breathing seeming to synchronize with the rhythm of the battlefield.
"Boom!"
An enemy ship was hit directly in the ammunition magazine and exploded instantly, the flames engulfing the ship and the flying debris scattering everywhere.
The entire battlefield resounded with a roar, the explosion shaking the surrounding boulders, as if even the sky was shaking for this battle.
However, the enemy's counterattack was equally fierce.
Several huge enemy ships quickly adjusted their positions and jointly launched powerful artillery fire, flames spewing from the gun ports, and several precision-guided shells flew rapidly towards Elbaf's defense line.
A giant warrior suddenly raised his giant axe, the power within his body surging out like a torrent.
"Block it!"
He roared, slamming his axe at the incoming shell.
The moment the axe blade collided with the shell, a deafening explosion erupted, and the scattered firelight enveloped the warrior's figure. He was almost forced to kneel, but he did not flinch, still holding on tightly.
"No problem, keep going!"
Another warrior shouted loudly, then slammed the giant shield in his hand fiercely at the oncoming shell.
The aftermath of the artillery fire tore through the air, shaking the entire battlefield, but Elbaf's defense line never collapsed.
"Their attacks are stronger, and the artillery density has increased threefold."
The Elder's eyes were fixed on the battlefield, calmly analyzing the enemy's tactical deployment.
"The firepower of these enemy ships is stronger than we thought, and they have even begun to coordinate their attacks."
"It doesn't matter,"
The young warrior gritted his teeth and said,
"We here are not afraid of these at all."
However, the Elder did not have such simple confidence. His gaze was deep, as if he could see the conspiracy in the distance through these artillery fires.
"The World Government will not easily give up on Elbaf. Their purpose is not just to defeat our front line.
They definitely have follow-up plans."
Before he finished speaking, the artillery fire from another enemy ship had once again bombarded fiercely.
The entire battlefield was instantly filled with fire and smoke, and only the roar seemed to remain between heaven and earth.
Shells collided fiercely in the air, and each explosion dyed this sea area blood red. The figures of the giants appeared even taller and firmer in this sea of fire.
However, all the warriors knew that this storm was just the beginning.
Facing this wave of stronger enemies, the warriors of Elbaf knew that they would face even more severe challenges next.
The battlefield was still that world of blood and fire, but even so, Elbaf's defense line remained solid, like a high mountain, standing in this churning sea.
On the main battlefield, the giants' morale was high, and each of their attacks made the enemy feel a bone-chilling pressure.
Giant axes swung, steel tore, and enemy ships were split in half like paper.
The World Government forces were firmly blocked outside a temporary defense line, and behind this defense line was the strong support of Elbaf's main force and the New Navy.
Artillery fire, vibrations, and explosions almost overwhelmed the noise of the entire battlefield, but Elbaf's camp remained as solid as a rock.
The New Navy's support fleet had been quietly deployed and joined the battle with unprecedented firepower.
Under the command of the commander, all the warriors cooperated closely, and the firepower poured towards the enemy like a torrent.
"Enel, attack!"
A New Navy commander roared, his eyes fixed on the distance, where the enemy was trying to launch a new offensive.
Enel stood on the deck of the ship, without a trace of expression on his face, his eyes closed.
In an instant, the entire sky seemed to be suddenly oppressed by an invisible force. The air around his body was instantly distorted by electricity. As his body shook slightly, a dazzling lightning bolt struck down like thunder, heading straight for the enemy ship in front.
The electric light flew through the air at high speed, breaking through all obstacles, and hitting the core area of the enemy ship directly.
"Boom——!"
A deafening explosion rang out, fire scattered, and the enemy ship exploded instantly under the impact of the powerful current. The fragments sprinkled on the sea like ice and snow.
The remaining ships instantly began to panic, and the formation of the entire fleet became fragmented as a result. The originally neat offensive turned into a scattered escape.
"Well done, Enel!"
Kuzan next to him smiled slightly, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes.
"But let me help you clean up the mess."
Kuzan slowly walked from the other end of the deck, with an unhurried aura.
His ice-blue eyes sparkled with coldness, and his body was filled with a bone-chilling aura.
With a casual wave, his body instantly froze into an ice-like blue outline, and his palm pointed towards the far end of the battlefield.
"Freeze!"
He murmured.
Instantly, the water vapor in the air seemed to condense into ice crystals. A large area of ice swept away. Almost in the blink of an eye, a large number of enemy ships were swept by this frost. The ships were frozen, and the figures of the crew members were also like frozen statues under the invasion of this ice, unable to move.
As Kuzan's frost spread, the entire sea seemed to enter a winter confinement, and the World Government's fleet burst into terrified screams in a silence.
The enemy tried to counterattack, but under the powerful firepower of Elbaf and the assistance of the New Navy, their counterattack seemed meaningless.
The enemy ships were like prey torn apart by two beasts, and the fragments floated on the sea. Fire and ice intertwined into a picture of death.
"Kuzan, Enel, your attacks are devastating."
Behind him, a young giant warrior clenched the battle axe in his hand, revealing a long-lost awe in his eyes.
"This kind of power is really despairing."
"Hehe, it's okay."
Enel slowly stood up, his eyes indifferent, his voice with a hint of playfulness.
"These guys are just small characters, can they stop us?"
...
