Elwin also felt much relieved. If they could survive this battle by some chance, their Ocean Pixie clan would definitely leave this realm and seek a new habitat in the main world, where they would undoubtedly be safer under the protection of an epic-tier hero.

More and more corrupted creatures gathered on the sea’s surface, with the crazed ones climbing on top of their fellow beings, using their bodies as stepping stones.

Thousands of these corrupted beings piled up layer by layer, resembling a grotesque and chaotic mountain of flesh.

When the first four-armed corrupted creature hooked its claws onto the edge of the lowest floating mountain cliff and hoisted itself up, the group of circling flying corrupted creatures in the distance, like a swirling school of sardines, suddenly transformed from oval shapes into contorted triangles. The black mist surrounding them seemed to form a demonic maw, bringing with it a gust of malevolent wind.

“All units, attention!”

Three squads of a thousand Featherfolk warriors swiftly ascended, breaking through, while the remaining two thousand Ocean Pixie warriors armed themselves and established defensive lines on the lower floating islands.

Patheia watched the approaching enemies and said in a deep voice, “We’re outnumbered, and we need to make use of the terrain of the floating mountain group to engage the enemy. Our task is to entangle the flying corrupted creatures, preventing them from attacking our allies fighting against the ocean corrupted creatures.”

“Yes!” Numerous Featherfolk warriors nodded with resolute determination.

The Ocean Crown’s troops were also prepared for battle. Although the Kraken didn’t engage in the water, it used its massive body and tentacles to connect between two floating mountains, giving it a formidable appearance. Other hero units and units capable of terrestrial movement stood on the floating mountains, while those unable to walk on land fought within the suspended water area created by Jichen.

Soon, almost simultaneously, both the flying corrupted creatures and the ocean corrupted creatures launched their attacks.

Arrows rained down like locusts, as the Featherfolk sharpshooters and Lobster Nymph Spirit Archers killed and wounded hundreds of flying corrupted creatures, successfully drawing their hatred and inflicting casualties while taking advantage of the various-sized floating mountains.

Lances fell like iron rain, as the Blue Dragon Blood Murlocs and Ocean Pixies hurled iron javelins, forcefully pushing the ocean corrupted creatures off the floating mountains as they attempted to climb.

However, the “flesh mountain” they stacked was not limited to just one. Several other floating mountains were similarly stacked beneath them, and more creatures ascended from different directions.

Like a well-rehearsed maneuver, a type of caterpillar-like corrupted creature, after ascending, spat out thread-like strands of viscous substance towards neighboring floating mountains, constructing bridges between the two floating mountains. Other corrupted creatures climbed over these “bridges.”

Many Ocean Pixie warriors and Ocean Crown troops found themselves surrounded due to this tactic. Under the command of several heroes, they orderly retreated to the suspended water area and returned to higher floating mountains.

Seeing this scene, Augustus couldn’t help but shudder.

Whether it was the flying corrupted creatures or these creatures capable of spitting sticky substances like the caterpillars, it all indicated that the demons had already found a way to deal with their Featherfolk clan. If not for lichen’s presence, they would likely have been caught off guard and met a devastating fate.

Thousands of corrupted creatures met their demise under a barrage of arrows, blades, and spells, but they were quickly replaced by more, as if all the ocean’s corrupted creatures had converged here. Every inch of the sea surface was filled with malevolence, forming a continuous black mist.

Leaving aside the demon invasion, just the appearance of these corrupted creatures in the main world could cause a disaster no less severe than a sea-beast tide.

While the corrupted creatures were numerous, they were not to be underestimated, especially the epic-tier hero unit, the Kraken. Its killing power was astonishing when dealing with large groups of enemies. With a casual swing of its tentacles, it could easily crush dozens of creatures, and a sweep would send the corrupted creatures on the floating mountains flying, crashing into the sea, and turning into a pulp.

Watching this gigantic ocean behemoth, larger than a house, clearing its fellow creatures as if they were trash, even the less intelligent corrupted creatures were dumbfounded, subconsciously avoiding it.

Despite the impressive display of the corrupted creatures’ numbers and momentum, their numerical advantage was not fully exploited due to the advantageous terrain of the floating islands.

Each floating mountain below had an Ocean Crown hero stationed on it. These high-tier heroes were either of the legacy or legendary tier, and they displayed terrifying killing and suppressing power on the relatively small floating mountains.

The sight of heads being shattered with a single punch and a single sword swing creating ten-meter-long sword beams that tore through a dozen enemies was common here.

Jichen observed the favorable battlefield situation and nodded to himself.

Now it depended on whether the demons had any tricks or hidden cards up their sleeves. If this was all they had, victory in this battle would undoubtedly belong to them.

The demon’s invasion hub.

“Damn it, how can this human lord be so powerful? At this rate, it’ll be difficult to keep them here even if we send all the corrupted creatures!”

“This human lord must be an outstanding hero among humans. Even at such a young age, he already possesses such a formidable army and high-tier heroes.. Given more time, he will undoubtedly become a significant threat to us demons!”
