At this moment, all the soldiers of the Marine War Commander realized...

In this battle, they might not survive.

Since that's the case, they must make their death more meaningful!

Ignoring life and death reignited the deeply downcast morale, coagulating it into an unprecedented strength.

All the soldiers of the Marine War Commander unleashed their energy levels, transforming into soaring flames, connecting into a unified force.

If someone were to watch this battle from a distance, they would surely notice that at a particular moment, the encircled army suddenly erupted with a blazing energy level.

Determination, despair, madness!

This energy level fluctuation is unhealthy, yet... powerfully strong!

After sensing the sudden change in the Marine War Commander, Fang Yu and Kong Huaao turned slightly color, exchanging glances that showed mutual respect for their adversary.

But...

The situation between them has long been mortal and relentless; today, only by encircling and annihilating the Purification Army in this sea can this strategic setup and advantage not be wasted.

Both sides have foundation and beliefs behind them; at this moment, the warlords with differing stands and the Duorong Federation military erupted into an incredibly epic battle in this sea!

"South Sea Third Army, attack!"

"Sharp Blade Army, attack!"

"Purification Army, attack!"

Artillery fire, Extraordinary, flames, flowing light, dust.

The world became complex and turbid, the light and shadow before their eyes becoming blurry.

A battle that conjured true fire, and spawned ferocity.

No one backed down, no one feared.

Thrilling and fulfilling, dying without regret!

...

"Purification Army!! Attack!!"

After an indeterminate time, Ma Rui hoarsely yelled out, his body exhausted of energy levels, his spirit waning due to fatigue.

Yet Ma Rui still felt fervent, as if another soul within him was fiercely burning.

But this time... after Ma Rui shouted, not a single sea ship responded.

Ma Rui was stunned, turning his head to look around in confusion.

He found that the surrounding area had long been empty, the 2,000 sea ships that had originally surrounded him, all shattered, and now floating as endless wreckage on the sea surface.

The entire Purification Army was left with Ma Rui's command ship.

After realizing this, Ma Rui laughed.

He seemed not to feel any confusion or pain ahead, only brightness.

He felt as though countless soldiers stood firmly behind him, lending him their strength.

Ma Rui straightened his chest, raised his head, proudly and determinedly looking at the approaching Duorong Federation ships.

As if, he were the victor!

Ma Rui took a deep breath, waved to the lieutenants and crewmen behind him, spoke softly, "Brothers, let's attack!"

"Yes, Captain!!"

A resolute voice came from behind, a crewman sitting on the turret seat, his body's energy levels long depleted, no longer able to connect or communicate with the turrets, nor enhance enchanted turret abilities.

Nonetheless, he initiated the most primitive turret attack—even though this attack's energy level was only around 50 points, unable to even break the enemy's weakest barrier, he decisively fired.

Looking at the command ship's final tenacity, Fang Yu and Kong Huaao sighed slightly, then both firmly whispered:

"Fire!"

"Yes!"

Endless artillery fire erupted at this moment.

In an instant, engulfing and devouring Ma Rui's command ship.

"Boom!!"

Intense energy level fluctuations erupted, paying tribute to this warlord army that fought until the last sea ship.

Thus, apart from 500 ships stationed on Ijima Island, all 2,900 ships of the Purification Army were annihilated in the waters of Ijima Island.

...

Victory!

Despite being an immensely joyous and exciting event, everyone felt a deep exhaustion wash over them.

This exhaustion was not merely physical but also spiritual.

Having undergone such a brutal battle, everyone was utterly exhausted.

None had expected this battle to be so difficult.

It was originally thought to be a crushing coalition fight, a bullying encirclement assault.

But ultimately, it ended in a costly victory.

The troops under Kong Huaao's command, as the front-line facing the Purification Army, nearly half of 2,000 sea ships were sunk by the relentless Purification Army.

Only 1,200 or so remained, with a loss of 800 ships.

Fang Yu's side was slightly better.

Ma Rui seemed aware that a substantial number of Fang Yu's side consisted of irrelevant pirate ships and Outer Realm Captains, so opposing Fang Yu's side held little significance.

After this battle, the pirates were to scatter, as even the Outer Realm Captains joined for driven gains.

They weren't the primary war strength of the Duorong Federation military, hence targeting Fang Yu's side wasn't of much consequence.

Nonetheless, Fang Yu's side originally had 300 military sea ships, 50 were sunk.

50 Sharp Blade ships, under the Brain Domain Sharing's augmentation by Ma, were relatively better, with only 4 sunk.

70 Blue Star Sea Ships, 8 were sunk, with 8 Blue Star Captains permanently lying in the sea.
