Because the distance was much shorter, the aim of the giant crossbowmen greatly improved, and more than half of the dozens of giant crossbow bolts hit those sea monsters.
In a series of explosions, green Wildfire instantly engulfed them. Although the sea monsters now had much greater resistance to Wildfire, facing such a scale of Wildfire and the damage caused by the giant crossbows, these sea monsters gradually fell silent.
At this moment, Simoros had already swallowed most of the sea monster's head. To avoid the rampant Wildfire nearby from touching her, Simoros dragged the giant sea monster's corpse and scrambled away.
But in just this short time, the remaining six sea monsters had all reached the Old Town Wharf. The tentacles of those sea monsters stood much taller than Oldtown's city walls, scaring the soldiers on the walls so much that their legs trembled.
Even Rogge, who was used to grand spectacles, couldn't help but swallow several gulps of saliva.
"We can do it, we can do it!"
Rogge silently gave himself psychological hints repeatedly,
"Most of the twenty-plus sea monsters have been eliminated by us; the remaining six are not a threat."
"Brothers! Try to tie as much Wildfire as possible onto the giant crossbows. There are only a few left; let's send them all back to their drowned god!"
"Yes~"
Having already killed many sea monsters, the giant crossbowmen's fear of them was no longer like at the beginning. So, they quickly adjusted the giant crossbows, loaded them with Wildfire, and with bloodshot eyes, aimed at the six sea monsters ferociously rushing towards them.
"Fire~"
Just as the sea monsters' tentacles slapped towards the city wall, dozens of giant crossbow bolts, carrying a large amount of Wildfire, were also fired simultaneously.
"Bang bang bang~"
"Crack~ Crack~ Crack~"
"Caw caw caw~"
The instant the giant crossbows hit the sea monsters and the Wildfire exploded, the tentacles of several sea monsters mercilessly slammed into the Old Town Wharf's city wall.
Although the sea monsters were instantly engulfed by the scorching Wildfire, a large section of the city wall was also shattered by their massive tentacles.
Fortunately, these city walls were all built from sturdy Dragonstone; although they cracked when hit, they did not collapse. Only dozens of team members were unfortunately struck by the sea monsters' tentacles and sacrificed. Several giant crossbows were directly smashed to pieces.
The most serious impact was that several storage areas were hit, causing a large number of Wildfire jars to be directly shattered by the sea monsters, triggering a series of large explosions. The splashing Wildfire not only ignited the sea monster tentacles but also engulfed many Oldtown garrison members.
Several hundred meters of the city wall were instantly enveloped in the burning green Wildfire. Three to four hundred garrison members stationed nearby unfortunately perished as a result.
Rogge quickly led the surviving garrison members to temporarily retreat into the underground space. From the current situation, the sea monster army was almost completely annihilated. Even if they could miraculously escape this wave of Wildfire, the dragons would not let them go.
And with the city wall covered in Wildfire, even if the Ironborn landed, they would be unable to attack the city.
At this moment, the six sea monsters, ignited by Wildfire, thrashed wildly around the Old Town Wharf as if insane, stimulated by the intense pain. Even the Dragonstone paved ground was cracked by their massive tentacles.
Several sections of the city wall were even pulverized because they couldn't withstand their continuous pounding. However, under the burning Wildfire, the pulverized Dragonstone city wall quickly turned into a lava-like liquid, scalding several sea monsters and causing them to desperately flee towards the sea.
"Screech~"
Amoros returned to the Old Town Wharf and found that there was almost no intact sea monster left. So she directly grabbed a sea monster that was somewhat charred by Wildfire and began to devour it in large gulps.
Hunger made her completely disregard the remaining Wildfire on the monster's corpse. However, dragons truly lived up to their name as creatures of flame; the terrifying Wildfire was directly swallowed by Amoros, and she was completely unharmed.
Although the Wildfire on this sea monster's body was very weak, it was still a very formidable presence. And Amoros felt quite satisfied after devouring this Wildfire, which significantly reduced her hunger.
So she immediately sped up her swallowing, consuming the entire sea monster corpse in less than two quarters of an hour. Then she quickly rushed towards a sea monster that was still thrashing around, burnt by Wildfire, in front of Oldtown's city wall.
Most of this sea monster's tentacles were ignited by Wildfire, and half of its head was charred black, but under the nourishment of the magical tide, he stubbornly refused to die.
Amoros directly exhaled a breath of scorching Dragonflame at the sea monster's half-intact head, sending him completely to the drowned god's home. Then she grabbed the sea monster, lifted him into the air, and continued to feed.
At this moment, the big-headed dragon Simoros had also completely devoured the giant sea monster. Perhaps nourished by the magical tide, coupled with the extremely high-quality energy the sea monster provided her, the damage caused by Wildfire had almost completely repaired, and even the holes burned by Wildfire on her Dragon Wing had become much smaller.
This showed how astonishing her recovery ability was at this time.
Immediately after, Antros and Aposos also returned, killing and dragging away the only two remaining thrashing sea monsters.
After continuously devouring two sea monsters covered in Wildfire, Amoros finally felt full. So she grabbed a charred sea monster corpse that had died in the sea and brought it to her children.
The people on the Iron Islands' Sea Monster ship, seeing all the sea monsters eliminated like this, couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, no matter how fierce they were.
"Tw-twenty-plus sea monsters, just like that, wiped out?! That Wildfire is truly terrifying! And those few dragons are simply invincible!"
Earl Zhuo Gu's hand, holding the Valyria sword "Red Rain," trembled slightly.
The tall Gonthor also involuntarily gripped his Valyria twin hammers, the Meteorite Great Hammers, in his hands.
The drowned god priest Rodrik continued to passionately blow the Sea Monster Horn, while Wei He Luosi looked excitedly in the direction from which the magical tide surged, clearly he too could perceive the magical tide.
"It's coming!"
Everyone looked in the direction Wei He Luosi was looking, puzzled,
"Coming? What's coming?!"
At this moment, the clouds in Oldtown's sky had turned terrifyingly dark, and seemed to be pressing down to the ground. Suddenly, the entire Oldtown and the nearby sea surface vibrated violently.
The sea where the sea monsters had battled had just calmed down for a short while, but now it became even more turbulent. And the entire underground space of Oldtown suddenly began to tremble violently without warning.
This caused the residents hiding in the underground space to let out gasps of alarm, but they felt as if their vital energy had been instantly drained, and even screaming seemed difficult to do.
Cracks spread across the streets above Oldtown like monstrous giant pythons. With a dull rumble, the center of the underground space seemed to be forcibly torn open by an invisible giant hand.
Thick, inky black gas surged from underground, with a huge figure faintly wriggling within it.
