Chapter 470: War with Usaine sect
The news that a large fleet is moving towards the archipelago of the Usaine sect was spread all over as they were just a few hours away from their destination.
Sam made sure that everything goes according to plan. The Usaine sect head and the grand elders who came back also heard this and frowned.
At first, they thought that they are being attacked by another major power but the rest of the major powers who also got the news made sure that they don't have any involvement in this by sending their envoys.
This made them puzzled and after some investigation from the scouts, they recognized them to be the people from the Yellow Sand Island.
The Usaine sect people didn't understand why a Minor power would try to attack them. So, the sect head sent a nascent stage envoy to talk to them.
"Why are you moving towards the Usaine sect?"
The envoy stood on his flying beast as he asked haughtily.
Sam looked up and said to him coldly.
"We are waging a war on the Usaine sect."
"A minor power? Waging a war? Are you joking?"
"You will see if we are joking or not. In two days, ask your sect to get ready their troops. We will start our attack whether you got ready or not."
With that, they didn't bother with the envoy anymore, who went back.
The first destination that Sam and his troops are nearing is an island with the Space gates, this Space gate Island is not the one that connects with the empires, rather it is for transporting the resources of the surrounding islands to the main sect. This is an important transportation point.
This is the first place they decided to take over and as they said they stayed on the shore for the next two days as the fleet of the Usaine sect slowly made their preparations in front.
As for the sect head and the grand elders, there is no way they are going to come just like that. Instead, they sent a bunch of transcendent stage cultivators with them. The Usaine sect members are still fresh with their wounds, the casualties are not exactly small and even if it is a minor power, there is no saying what would happen.
And after two days, the fleet of the Usaine sect moved forward. The fleet is actually larger and there are more than five hundred ships.
They wanted to surround Sam's fleet but as they moved forward, Sam gave his command and the cannons fired immediately.
The flatfish puppet troops started jumping in the waters as they moved into surfing mode and started attacking the ships.
They want to see if they can occupy the ships.
The fleet of the Usaine sect is actually quite good compared to the ships of the Adrian Empire.
They are made of metals and they are quite sturdy.
Sam figured it would be better to try and capture them. All he would have to do is capture them. All he would have to do is repair them and modify them a bit to add to his fleet at least, they could be secondary ships that act as backup.
That is why he offered a reward and the soldiers are clearly excited. Even the cannons shooting is targeting carefully to not damage the hub and such.
The Usaine sect troops suddenly had a wake-up call. This is not what they expected. They didn't expect they have such powerful ranged attacks and they didn't see these kinds of cannons before.
At this moment, the flying troops of the usaine sect area also mobilized, but Sam did the same. In fact, he even let the Porpoise troops to start the attack and the ships of Usaine sect had the hardest time of their lives.
The amphibious crafts suddenly became empty on both above the deck and below the deck.
The flying troops of the usaine sect are completely surprised because, Sam's side didn't send too many soldiers on the flying troops, rather they are mostly just flying beasts.
They seemed too ferocious and there are too many of them as if they are out of control, but they are all working.
The battle continued for half an hour. The beasts that are wounded came down and landed on the amphibious assault ship which is providing air defence.
There the healers came from the room and started healing them. Even the troops that are injured were being directly sent to the amphibious ship for healing and even the porpoises are entering below the amphibious ship and healers are doing their work.
The transcendent stage cultivators looked at the battle and are immediately dumbfounded. They didn't expect that the battle would be this one-sided.
They decided to make a move, while one of them entered a space gate to inform the others of the situation.
This time, the real problem is going to raise. The Transcendent stage cultivators are too many and there is no one here to enforce any rules of the battle field. So, they decided to attack every ship by themselves.
The Transcendent stage cultivators from the yellow sand Island tackled them directly, but still there are simply too many.
As the Pre-transcendent stage and below are being dominated by Sam's side, they decided to just attack everyone and finish it, but they received the biggest shock in the world.
When a Nascent stage cultivator threw a fire type spell at a frigate ship which is in the formation with the rest of the naval fleet, the spell didn't even reach the frigate and was blocked by an invisible formation which fluctuated brightly and showed its presence for the first time.
The Transcendent cultivators are stunned in their spots.
They didn't expect to be a fleet formation. This is something they didn't see and the formation seemed to be extremely strong. They couldn't damage it easily.
They stood on their beasts as they launched ranged attacks.
Sam who is in the Nascent stage battle with a Flat fish puppet under him, used his communication device to give a command.
"Get the Energy Cannons ready."
Sam spoke as he started eliminating his opponents in a faster pace.
Because, he wants to look at the might of his new toy up close without missing anything.
His new method of destruction, but also one of his newest creations. This is something Sam made with the inspiration and working principle he decoded from Vickers' fighting style.
As he moved towards the Amphibious Assault ships, the upper deck of the room opened up and a cannon came out of it. The same thing happened in the remaining four ships and they all aimed at different directions.
Meanwhile, in every ship within the fleet there are many people who are steering the ships who closed their eyes and started diverting energy from the energy cell of the ship to the amphibious assault ship.
The cannon lit up brightly as its aim rotated a bit and locked on the Transcendent stage cultivator.
The blue coloured concentrated water elemental energy lit up and shot towards the cultivator as if it was laser.
But it is the Elemental energy beam. Sam tried so hard to crack this technique and he got it from a moment of inspiration when he is researching the layered and varying formation from the meteorite sand island.
His main problem when he first researched the energy cannon was that he couldn't find a way to shoot the gathered energy. Even though he tried experimenting with some special inscriptions that mainly focus on large scale energy modifications, there are no results.
But the inscription array which is responsible for connecting the formations and creating a varying formation with a sequence, he figured out that the portion of the array is responsible for the changing the state of the energy and diverting its direction when the formation sequence is varying.
So, he tried to use the same principle to shoot the energy by changing the diverting part to extreme so that the motion would be fast and huge.
Even though, it was called an Energy beam, in fact it is a lump of energy that was concentrated in one small location. An energy ball. Due to its glowing nature, it looked like a beam.
And due to the amount of concentrated energy being insanely huge and an extremely small place, even Transcendent stage cultivators couldn't handle the attack.
The cultivator wanted to block the attack, but the water elemental energy exploded and made his body unstable at the same time, it made a hole through the body while it almost rained around him with mist and water appearing out of thin air.
This attack, once again halted the tracks of everyone in the battle field, but it is not the end yet, the five cannons fired and the large energy cells which are as big as a yoga ball in a gym are being consumed rapidly, but the people are replacing them as soon as they are done.
And the battle once again became one-sided.
Meanwhile, the news travelled towards the Usaine sect and the sect leader and the grand elders were alarmed greatly. It is already a surprising thing of the Yellow sand island to knock on their doors and they are still winning. This is something they have to take seriously.
So, they left the injured grand elder who killed the Inscription association head and decided to go and see what exactly is happening.
