Chapter 230: Repel the Enemy

Zhao Feng took the lead, swinging the battle ax in his hand like a tiger, with every swing carrying powerful force, knocking away the approaching lizardman soldiers. As he fought, he shouted loudly: "Stone, I'm here to help you!"

Zhang Shi was overjoyed when he saw Zhao Feng arriving, and shouted: "Get rid of the leader first!" Back to back, the two of them started a desperate fight with the lizard man.

At this time, Ge Dalong also began to cast powerful magic. He danced with his hands and muttered words. In an instant, the temperature around him dropped sharply, and ice ridges flew out of his hands and shot towards the lizard man. Wherever the ice edge touched, the lizardmen were frozen one after another, and their movements became sluggish.

Liu Yu led the soldiers of the Light Alliance and worked closely with other alliance members to form a tight battle formation and gradually advance towards the command ship. Their weapons shone coldly in the sunlight, and each attack was precise and powerful, causing tremendous pressure on the lizardmen.

With the concerted efforts of everyone, the lizardmen's defense line was gradually broken through. The two lizardman guards were also entangled by Zhao Feng. Zhang Shi saw the opportunity and rushed towards the silver lizardman executive again. This time, he focused all his strength on Lao Duan, and the blade emitted a strong black light.

When the senior silver lizard men saw this, they did not dare to be careless and quickly raised the cyan orb in their hands to resist. The orb created a blue ice shield, which collided with Zhang Shi's black sword energy, making a loud noise, and powerful energy fluctuations spread around, knocking away some lizardmen around them.

Zhang Shi took advantage of this reaction force, turned over in the air, and once again attacked the senior members of the silver lizard people. His eyes showed firmness and determination, and he had only one belief in his heart, which was to kill this senior lizard man and destroy their chain of command.

In the fierce confrontation, Zhang Shi found that although the defense of the senior silver lizard people was tight, he used the instant shadow step, quickly went around behind the senior silver lizard people, and then slashed with a knife. The speed of the senior silver lizard man was much slower than that of the guards. Although he sensed the danger and wanted to avoid it, it was already too late. Zhang Shi's knife hit his back. Although part of the force was blocked by the armor, he was still injured.

The senior executive of the silver lizard man roared angrily, turned around and sprayed a stream of cyan flames towards Zhang Shi. Zhang Shi didn't expect that the opponent would have such a move, so he quickly ducked sideways, but his arm was still burned by the edge of the flames. He endured the pain and continued to attack.

At this time, the Alliance warriors had gradually gained the upper hand, and the Lizardman fleet fell into chaos. Many lizardman warships were sunk, and they jumped into the sea and fled in all directions.

Under the siege of everyone, the top brass of the silver lizard men finally showed their flaws. Zhang Shi seized the opportunity and slashed his arm, causing the cyan orb in his hand to fall. Zhang Shi, with quick eyes and quick hands, picked up the orb and put it in his bag.

What surprised Zhang Shi was that the other party did not have any mood swings. Instead, he stopped attacking and looked at him with burning eyes.

Suddenly, the cyan orb bloomed with intense light, and the air around Zhang Shi was frozen. A hemispherical ice shield suddenly condensed on the top of Zhang Shi, covering him. Zhang Shi sensed the danger and wanted to use the Instant Shadow Step to escape, but found that he had lost all sense of the outside world. The Instant Shadow Step had no target and could not be activated.

Zhang Shi waved Lao Duan and tried to cut through the ice cover, but found that the ice cover outside continued to expand, and the speed of his destruction was far less than the speed of the ice cover's expansion.

Outside, people from the Alliance also discovered what was going on here. All kinds of fire magic and weapons and spears were hitting the ice cover, but they could only leave faint scratches on the solid ice cover.

Seeing Zhang Shi trapped, everyone became anxious and attacked more and more fiercely, but the ice shield did not move at all. Ge Dalong shouted anxiously: "This can't go on like this, this ice shield is too strong!"

Liu Yu frowned, thought for a moment and said: "Everyone, please stop messing up and get out of the way!" After hearing this, everyone immediately moved out of the way for him.

I saw him condensing a golden light blade, and with a casual stroke, he made a big hole in the deck under his feet. Everyone suddenly understood and began to attack below the ice cover.

Zhang Shi also discovered the blind spot, took a deep breath, concentrated all his strength on Lao Duan, then jumped high and slashed towards the deck at the bottom of the ice cover with all his strength. This knife contained all his strength and determination. The moment the blade came into contact with the deck, it made a dull sound, and the entire deck was penetrated by Lao Duan. Zhang Shi took the opportunity to escape from below the deck, not forgetting to put the cyan orb into his backpack.

The senior lizard men on the side saw this and knew that the situation was over, so they quickly ordered their men to evacuate.

I saw the lizard men jumping into the sea in an orderly manner. A huge mechanical turtle appeared faintly under the water, and all the lizard men got into the turtle. Zhang Shi was worried that if he chased too closely and the other party jumped over the wall, he ordered to stop and let them go.

With the evacuation of the lizardmen, the Alliance fleet also began to reorganize its teams, treat the wounded, and count the losses of this battle. The sea wind was still howling, blowing on the sea filled with gunpowder smoke, and the warships were swaying slightly in the waves, as if they were also breathing for this tragic battle.

Zhang Shi stood on the bow of the ship, looking in the direction of the retreating lizardman fleet, with mixed feelings in his heart. Although the Alliance achieved a staged victory in this battle, severely damaging the Lizardman fleet and disrupting their deployment, their own side also paid a heavy price, and many brave warriors remained in this sea area forever.

"Zhang Shi, what should we do next?" Liu Yu stepped forward and broke the silence. His face was tired after the battle, but his eyes were still firm.

Zhang Shi retracted his gaze and turned to Liu Yu. After thinking for a moment, he said: "This battle has shown us the strength and cunning of the lizardmen. They will definitely not give up. Let's go back to the alliance headquarters first. On the one hand, we will strengthen our defense, and on the other hand, we will study this cyan gem. Maybe we can find the key to fighting the lizardmen."

Everyone nodded in agreement. After simply cleaning up the battlefield, the alliance fleet sailed towards the headquarters. Along the way, everyone was silent, thinking about their own things, and the atmosphere was a little solemn.

Back at the alliance headquarters, Zhang Shi immediately summoned elites and scholars from various forces to start researching the cyan gem. Ge Dalong became the main force of the research with his rich knowledge and experience in magic. He placed the gem in a special magic circle and carefully injected magic power, trying to detect the internal structure and magic principle of the gem.

However, the power of this orb seemed extremely mysterious and powerful. Ge Dalong's detection was repeatedly frustrated, and the magic circle also showed unstable fluctuations many times. But he did not give up. After several days and nights of unremitting efforts, he finally made some discoveries.

"This orb contains an ancient and powerful ice magic power, which is different from the common ice magic we have. It seems to be able to mobilize the surrounding water elements and transform them into extremely tough ice. It also has a certain self-repair ability, which is why it was difficult for us to break it before." Ge Dalong explained to everyone.

After listening, Zhang Shi frowned: "Is there any way to crack its power or use it for us?"

Ge Dalong shook his head: "There is no definite method yet, but I will continue to study. However, according to my speculation, this orb may be related to an ancient heritage or mysterious power of the lizard people. Perhaps we need more information to completely unlock its secrets."

While Ge Dalong was studying the orb, Zhang Shi was not idle either. He organized soldiers to strengthen the fortifications of the alliance headquarters, set up more magic traps and defensive formations, and increased the intensity of soldiers' training, and formulated more perfect tactics based on the combat characteristics of the lizardmen.

Days passed, and the alliance gradually recovered its vitality in the intense preparations for war. However, the calm did not last long. One day, the reconnaissance team suddenly received news that the lizardmen had new movements in another sea area. They seemed to be gathering more troops and preparing to launch a larger-scale attack.
