Born Sacred

Chapter 137: Ultra-Long-Range Shooting

Quezon City.

This was a beautiful coastal city with numerous tourists coming and going on normal days, but at this moment, it was desolate. Tanks and armored vehicles drove on the streets, and fully armed soldiers moved about.

The Sea Clan coming from the Sunrise Nation first impacted Quezon City and the nearby coastal cities.

Therefore, Starfall Country completed its military mobilization at the fastest speed. Most of the citizens of Quezon City were evacuated to the rear, and only some powerful Awakeners remained, preparing to fight to protect their homeland.

Not only Quezon City and surrounding cities, but all coastal cities in Starfall Country were undergoing evacuation. These places were Starfall Country’s new battlefields.

Yuri was a team leader-level figure in the Quezon City Supernatural Management Branch, an SS-grade talented Awakener, and his rank was Tier 2.

At this moment, he led dozens of his team members, their eyes fixed on the sea, standing ready.

"They’re here," a team member whose eyes flickered with light whispered.

The army stationed in Quezon City also discovered the Demonized Monsters in the sea, and the battle immediately began.

Under a barrage of bombing, the sea surface was covered with the flesh and blood of Fishmen, and the nearby seawater was dyed crimson. However, these low-level Demonized Monsters showed no fear, rushing forward one after another, and soon landed on the shore.

After landing on Starfall Country’s soil, the aura of these Fishmen sharply decreased, and their speed of charging forward also involuntarily slowed down.

Yuri and the others were already used to this scene.

The Fishmen, weakened by the "Enemy of Strafall Country" BUFF, immediately paid the price for their recklessness. The Fishmen who landed first were all torn to shreds by artillery shells.

However, the biggest advantage of these Fishmen was their large numbers.

After eliminating thousands of Fishmen, the frequency of artillery fire on the shore significantly decreased. The Fishmen, seeing hope, charged forward, roaring.

Yuri and the others, who had already prepared, emerged from their hiding places and rushed into the piles of Fishmen, starting a massacre.

First Order Fishmen were no match for them at all; they killed them in swathes. The number of Tier 2 Fishmen was very small, and there were Tier 2 Awakeners like Yuri to deal with them.

Currently, Starfall Country had over a million First Order Awakeners and several thousand Tier 2 ones.

After receiving a wave of national rewards, everyone’s strength greatly increased. If they hadn’t been unable to enter dungeons, the number of First Order and Tier 2 Awakeners in Starfall Country would have surged. Since the dungeon difficulty returned to normal, even Three-order ones would have increased significantly.

Even if they couldn’t enter dungeons, under the national rewards, Yuri and others with +4000 to all attributes found fighting Tier 2 Fishmen as easy as a father beating his son. Including the "Protection of Starfall Country" and "Enemy of Starfall Country" BUFFs, which provided a 40% increase and decrease in attributes respectively, they could beat the Tier 2 Fishmen into doubting their fishy existence.

Like chopping vegetables, they slaughtered all the Fishmen who rushed ashore.

Yuri and the others did not retreat. They eliminated several more waves of Fishmen in one go before falling back to the rear to recover their stamina.

After they withdrew, the artillery fire resumed.

Just like this, under alternating defense, they firmly blocked the Fishmen on the coast, preventing them from advancing an inch.

As the battle reached a stalemate, suddenly, a stream of water several meters wide shot out from the sea with a speed that left people no time to react. Yuri was slightly stunned and saw a Tier 2 Awakener hit by the water stream, instantly turning into dust. And that wasn’t all; the water stream sliced through the air, killing over a dozen more Awakeners. A building in the distance was cut by the water stream, splitting directly in half and collapsing.

"It’s Three-order, retreat quickly."

Yuri was scared out of his wits and immediately led his subordinates to flee backward. If that water stream had shifted slightly, they would have been the ones dead.

The army also noticed the anomaly here, and artillery shells immediately rained down on the sea surface.

They saw a Fishman over ten meters tall emerge from the seawater.

Ordinary Fishmen were only over two meters tall, and Tier 2 ones were only five or six meters. This Fishman over ten meters tall was undoubtedly Three-order.

Fishmen all had fish heads and human bodies, with ugly appearances enough to stop children from crying at night. Although Three-order Fishmen also had fish heads and human bodies, their ugly heads were somewhat softened, closer to humans.

This Three-order Fishman saw the falling artillery shells and sneered. A water curtain rose from its feet, blocking the incoming shells.

After easily neutralizing the army’s attack, the Three-order Fishman licked the corner of its mouth, looked towards Quezon City not far away, and a cruel look appeared in its eyes. With Three-order strength, even if weakened by 20%, it could still destroy Quezon City’s defense line.

As Yuri retreated, he reported the news of the Three-order Fishman’s appearance.

This was the order from above, telling them not to resist Three-order monsters head-on, but to prioritize escape. Reinforcements would arrive soon.

"Captain, who will be the reinforcements? Will it be one of the Tiger Leopard Cavalry armies?" a team member asked excitedly after returning to a safe place.

"It should be," Yuri nodded.

Currently, in Starfall Country, only Noah and four others, as well as the three Tiger Leopard Cavalry armies, had the ability to deal with Three-order beings.

Noah and the others were in the Western Desert, so it was unlikely they would come. Therefore, the most likely possibility was the Tiger Leopard Cavalry.

"Even if the Tiger Leopard Cavalry is nearby, it will take time for them to arrive. Before they come, we must hold the defense line and absolutely not let the Fishmen rush inland," Yuri said in a deep voice.

"Understood."

Everyone had a determined look on their faces.

Since they were on the battlefield, they were all prepared to die.

It was just a bit strange that the order from above was to retreat upon encountering a Three-order Fishman, rather than holding the defense line to the death.

Yuri and the others didn’t think too much about it. Just as they were preparing to hold back the Three-order Fishman’s advance at all costs, suddenly, a piercing shriek exploded.

They only saw a golden light, like the staff of God falling from the sky, flash past their eyes. Immediately after, it slammed heavily into that Three-order Fishman.

"Boom~"

The Three-order Fishman was directly blown into countless fragments. The terrifying power went straight to the seabed, raising a massive water column.

"W-what was that?" a team member asked blankly, looking at the spot where the Three-order Fishman had disappeared.

Such a huge Three-order Fishman was just here, how could it just disappear?

Yuri was filled with shock, and was somewhat speechless at his subordinate’s question.

You’re asking me?

I don’t know either.

...

Western Desert, Noah put away the Sunset Bow.

That arrow just now was shot by him.

The two major characteristics of the Sun Shooting Bow were too strong. At least on this Blue Star, his arrows could reach any corner.

Noah’s face was calm.

Killing a Three-order Fishman was simply not worth mentioning to him.

He didn’t even need to activate his burst state. If it weren’t for the fact that in his normal state, he could only draw the Sun Shooting Bow back a small angle, and the power boost wasn’t enough to instantly kill a Three-order Fishman, Noah wouldn’t even need to use the Sunset Arrow.

However, the rare-grade Sunset Arrow had very low consumption for him now. Shooting a dozen arrows in a row was not a problem, and the power level could also be controlled.

Noah was calm and unhurried, but Roland was going crazy.

He had thought that when Noah said "solve it," he meant he would personally go there. After all, with Noah’s speed, flying there wouldn’t take long at all and he would make it in time.

Who knew that what Noah meant by "solve it" was that while he was in the Western Desert, he would instantly kill the Three-order Fishman thousands of miles away with a single arrow.
