Chapter 127: Black Mountain Tribe

“They have nowhere to run!”

Selof turned to look at the graceful figure standing on the helm deck.

She wore a white, low-cut priestess robe, with a touch of snow-white skin on her chest adding to her alluring charm.

Facing the gaze of Legion Commander Selof, she gently nodded.

Raising the staff in her hand, she began chanting loudly.

Blue magical energy slowly drifted from the crystal at the tip of her staff toward the sky.

Above Tavier's head, a massive mermaid illusion appeared.

The mermaid was stunning, with a human upper body and a fish tail for the lower half.

She folded her arms across her chest, lowering her head with closed eyes.

As the illusion became more solid, she opened her eyes.

“Ah!”

She opened her mouth and let out a piercing scream.

The sound was sharp and swept across the fleet like a tidal wave.

Where the sound passed, the water trembled.

Visible soundwaves rippled through the air, sweeping over the wooden stockade on the shore.

The Lizardmen retreating underwater couldn’t bear the sound and surfaced one after another.

“Attack! Fire at will!”

Seeing the Lizardmen emerge from the water, the human officers on the decks of various ships hurriedly issued attack orders.

“Whoosh, whoosh!”

The sound of arrows cutting through the air echoed across the fleet.

A dense rain of arrows fell on the Lizardmen who had surfaced.

“Thud!”

Many Lizardmen were struck by the arrows.

Sharp arrowheads pierced into their bodies.

“Ah!”

The Lizardmen let out cries of pain.

If you encounter this narrative on Amazon, note that it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

The surrounding waters turned red with blood in an instant.

The Banshee’s howl was merely a signal, a signal to command the fleet to attack.

The temple priests from each ship rushed to the bow.

They raised their staffs and began chanting loudly.

Rolling ice fog surged over the water near the ships.

A series of “crackling” freezing sounds followed.

Where the ice fog passed, the water surface froze instantly.

A wave of ice fog swept out from the fleet toward the shore.

The Lizardmen retreating ahead of the fleet were engulfed by the ice fog in the blink of an eye.

Their bodies were frozen in the water.

Some Lizardmen, noticing the commotion behind them, fled to deeper parts of the water.

Within ten seconds, the ice fog ravaging the water surface reached the shore.

A large area of water froze solid.

The thick ice connected the fleet to the land.

“Temple Knights, disembark and assemble!”

The fleet became a scene of bustling activity.

A large number of heavily armored knights climbed down from the decks using the netting along the ship's sides.

Thousands of Temple Knights gathered on the ice in front of the fleet.

Before long, they formed rank after rank, lined up in rectangular formations.

Each formation consisted of 200 Temple Knights, with a total of twenty formations.

Behind them were archer units in column formations.

The powerful military force caused fear among the Lizardmen in the wooden stockade.

“Chief, we have nowhere to retreat!”

On the shore, a group of Lizardmen elders looked despairingly at the distant human fleet and army.

“Fight! What is there to fear in death?”

"Yes, even if we die, we must make humans pay the price!"

The scar-faced leader stood silently, gazing at the human army on the distant ice sheet.

This time, the human forces were clearly here to annihilate their tribe.

It was humanity's inherent malice toward all savage tribes.

They were like locusts, occupying every inch of land.

Although humans weren’t the most powerful race on the continent, they were the most numerous and aggressive.

"Pray to the gods. It’s our only chance to defeat the humans!"

These words from Scarface made the elders of the Lizardmen show excited expressions.

"Yes, the great Water God Akuya will surely destroy the humans and protect our tribe!"

"Chief, let us summon our Savage God!"

The Lizardmen elders unanimously echoed.

They knew well that their tribe was at the brink of life and death.

Only by summoning the Savage God Akuya could they defeat humanity.

Scarface turned to look toward the tribe, his expression shifting.

"Go, gather all the tribespeople at the shore. Together, we shall welcome the descent of our Savage God!"

The Lizardmen elders quickly turned and rushed toward the tribe.

The humans were about to land, and time was running out for them.

Scarface sighed deeply on the shore.

He turned again to look at the distant fleet of human ships.

Scarface wasn’t sure if his choice was the right one.

The black-robed figure gave him an ominous feeling.

Nor was he sure if the Savage God would truly descend.

If the Savage God Akuya did come, would it protect the Black Mountain Tribe?

Everything was moving toward an uncertain future.

Meanwhile, on the distant fleet of human ships.

"Commander Selof, the army is assembled and ready!"

Standing at the bow of the ship, Selof gazed at the army on the ice ahead.

The dense phalanx before him filled him with confidence.

The Temple Knights would crush everything in their path as they always did.

Selof raised his sword and pointed forward.

A loud shout echoed across the bow deck from Selof.

"Temple Knights, advan—"

Boom!

Suddenly, a dramatic change occurred.

The ice to the right of Selof’s ship suddenly shattered.

Through a spray of water and shards of ice, a massive Swamp Crocodile King burst out.

It leaped from the water like a carp ascending a dragon gate.

The Swamp Crocodile King broke through the ice, soaring over the ship.

At that moment of flight, a green figure pounced toward the rear deck at Tavier.

"Ah!"

A scream was heard.

Tavier's staff was knocked from her hand by Li Meng’s palm.

Her graceful figure was slung over Li Meng’s shoulder.

Tavier had no time to react.

When she did, she was already in the goblin’s grasp.

"Women! Give birth to goblin babies for me! Wahahaha!"

Li Meng let out a hearty laugh and, in a flash, his tall green figure leaped from the deck to the ice behind.

Meanwhile, Yue E, who had flown over the ship, smashed into the ice on the other side and dove into the water.

Li Meng, carrying Tavier on his shoulder, landed on the ice and started running wildly.

"Selof, save me!"

Tavier screamed in terror.

"If you struggle, I’ll take a bite out of your thigh!"

Li Meng smacked the human woman's full hips with his palm.

Taking in the fragrance from the human woman, Li Meng grinned.

Human women were indeed far more tempting to him.

Terrified by Li Meng’s threat, the human woman’s body trembled.

Ignoring the pain in her hips, she quickly shut her mouth.

"Goblin! You’re courting death!"

Selof, on the ship’s bow, finally snapped out of it.

He roared and, in a flash, leaped down from the deck.

Crack!

As he landed on the ice, it shattered beneath him.

A shockwave exploded outward.

"Holy Leap!"

Selof suddenly transformed into a white beam of light, soaring into the sky.

He rose to a height of a thousand meters, descending like a meteor toward the fleeing Li Meng on the ice.

"Damn! Human skills are seriously ridiculous!"

The commotion behind made Li Meng instinctively turn to look.

What he saw scared him half to death.

That human warrior had rocketed into the sky like a missile.

In one jump, Selof had risen a thousand meters high.
