"This money was well spent. Boss, when fighting the Troll Forest, prepare some poison for Xiaoshanzi's Hunter Brigade as well. It would save a lot of our brothers."
Hearing Xiao Hei speak, Leng Shan quickly pulled Lin Zhan aside and said,
"Old Lin, Hei Zi is right. The trolls are naturally adept at using poison. If we don't prepare some, our brothers will definitely suffer."
Lin Zhan nodded, putting on a look of foresight and said,
"Don't worry, Xiao Ming has already prepared it for you. A full 500 million poisoned arrows, specifically for those below Diamond tier."
"There are also some poisoned arrows for King tier and Quasi-King tier. You can arrange it as you see fit."
The two chatted while intently watching the battle in the sea.
After all, although not many participated on either side, every single one was a king. Lin Zhan would feel heartbroken if even one died.
It was no wonder Lin Zhan and the rascal Daoist had laced the sea with poison. Any sea creature below Quasi-King tier would die before even fighting if they entered.
For this battle, Lin Zhan had gone to great lengths. Every king from the Zhang family wore a chestplate made from the softest part of the skin of a Royal Grade Demon Dragon.
It wasn't that Lin Dashuai was stingy, but in underwater combat, besides necessary weapons, the less gear on their bodies, the better. Otherwise, with the heavy burden, even the kings of the Zhang family wouldn't be able to withstand the exertion in the water.
This was also why the Dragon race and the Sacred Beast race became the main forces in this battle.
Firstly, the Zhang family had fewer members. Secondly, under natural conditions, humans were indeed inferior to spirit beasts in underwater combat.
Lin Zhan watched Da Hei leading the Xuanwu tribe in a fierce battle against the Naga Royal Guard. Both sides were known for their high defense and health, relying on physical strength. They fought with a resounding clang in the sea.
Lin Zhan squinted at the Naga race and said, "We need to find a way to deal with these big brutes, otherwise, this battle will drag on indefinitely."
Over a thousand Xuanwu were clashing with fifteen hundred Naga Royal Guards. Nearly 2600 individuals in total. After fighting for so long, only a few dozen Naga Royal Guards had been killed. Was this not absurd?
Leng Shan shook his head with a helpless expression and said, "Most of our Xuanwu tribe are mid-tier kings. There are very few high-tier ones, and only a few dozen peak kings like Da Hei."
"But look at these Naga Royal Guards, every single one of them is a high-tier king, and their leaders are all peak kings. The fact that it's even this kind of stalemate is thanks to the Xuanwu tribe. If you replaced them with Old Zhang, it would be futile."
Lin Zhan patted Xiao Hei and said, "Hei Zi, any good ideas? We need to deal with these Naga brutes quickly."
Xiao Hei shook his head, helpless.
"No good ideas. Unless you have the Grand Merchant Guard use their God-Slaying Crossbows. But that would likely provoke a reaction from the Gods and Demons races. A large portion of our Iron Eater beast legion is currently immobilized. If a war breaks out, we will definitely suffer."
"Boss, I'll recover for a bit longer, then I'll lead Da Hei and the others in a charge. We'll aim to break through the Naga Guard's formation directly."
On the other side, Rommel frowned as he watched the underwater battle. He turned to the sea princess who had fled back and said, "Tell all the sea kings to withdraw. There's no need to continue fighting."
The sea princess nodded. In just this short time, nearly 2000 of the 8000 sea kings had died. If they continued fighting, there wouldn't be much of the sea race's trump cards left.
A desolate conch horn sounded, and the sea kings gradually withdrew from the battlefield, returning towards their army.
At the same time, the kings of the Human Alliance heard the withdrawal signal from the myriad races and let go of their opponents, unless they could deliver a killing blow.
Lin Zhan looked at Rommel in the distance and said, "Wouldn't it be better to give up earlier? You and I both know that the Troll Forest is the real battlefield. Why be so stubborn here?"
Rommel glanced at Lin Zhan without speaking, then turned and led his men to retreat back into the Troll Forest.
Lin Zhan watched Rommel's actions and couldn't help but twitch his mouth. He said to Leng Shan beside him, "This battle in the Troll Forest won't be easy. You need to be mentally prepared."
Leng Shan nodded and said, "If your Lin family has the courage for their entire clan to die in battle, what does my Leng family lack? Whether it's a horse or a donkey, we'll find out when we put it to the test."
"I'm going down to prepare. Old Zhang is done now, and it'll be my turn tomorrow."
Lin Zhan nodded. "When Xiao Ming gets back, I'll have him send the equipment to you."
Watching Leng Shan walk away, Lin Zhan turned to Zhang Dabiao and said, "Speed up the construction of the defenses, especially our main camp stationed above. Its safety must be paramount."
As Lin Zhan finished speaking, Zhang Cong and Da Hei walked over.
Lin Zhan looked at the two and directly asked, "What are the casualties?"
Zhang Cong gave a bitter smile and shook his head.
"Including Tuolong, the Zhang family lost a total of 64 kings. The Divine Beast race lost 272 kings, and even the Xuanwu tribe lost 3 Xuanwu."
"The Dragon race suffered the greatest losses, with 318 water element Dragon Kings and Water Python Kings killed. A total of 654 kings died in this battle."
"We killed less than 2000 enemies in this battle. This is even with us having an antidote and the sea kings fighting us while enduring the poison. If it were a normal fight, we would definitely have been at a disadvantage."
Da Hei also nodded in agreement, "That's indeed the case. Especially those Storm Kings of the Naga race, they are too powerful. If the Zhang family hadn't fought to the death, our losses would have been even greater." Su Dan Fiction Network
The moment the battle began, Lin Zhan saw those Naga Storm Kings with six arms. As they swung their six great sabers, they cut through the Dragon race like chopping vegetables.
Half of the Water Python Kings died at their hands. If it weren't for the thick scales and high defense of the Zhang family's Tuolong, which withstood the attacks of the Storm Kings, the losses in this battle would have been immense.
Even so, more than 50 of the 64 kings who died from the Zhang family were killed in direct combat with these Storm Kings.
Lin Zhan nodded and said with a wry smile, "It's also fortunate that there aren't many Naga Storm Kings, only a hundred. Otherwise, it would have been truly difficult for us."
"What kind of race are these Naga? Why is every unit so troublesome?"
Zhang Cong said with a relieved expression, "Old Lin, the Naga race had two million Storm Warriors. These individuals have four arms and wield sabers identical to the Storm Kings. Each of them is Diamond high-tier. If it weren't for Xiao Ming poisoning them with two bottles of poison, this deep-sea secret realm might have seen the Dragon race's legions wiped out."
After hearing Zhang Cong's words, Lin Zhan was stunned for a moment, then also said with relief, "At critical moments, it's still my brother-in-law who comes through."
