Sarlin's voice was cold, but everyone who heard it cheered. Sarlin was speaking in the common language of the continent. Killing them and killing them all sounded very similar, especially to the swordsmen of Serrig Island. Even though they knew that Sarlin couldn't hear them, they still responded loudly after hearing the news.
"Sir Sarlin, we will kill them all!"
Truman, who had been guarding White Rock Mountain for many days, was almost paralyzed from exhaustion. He had to monitor the ice surface at all times. Once the enemy launched a large-scale attack, he would have to counter the enemy's large-scale weapons.
This battle was too frustrating. First, two warships were stolen for no reason, and more than a hundred elite warriors were killed. Then, the enemy kept harassing them without launching a large-scale attack.
Truman was very dissatisfied with Daniel's command. The first counterattack was too fierce, and none of the enemies escaped. That was why they were so cautious. If they deliberately let some people escape, the enemy would gradually increase their attack power, and they would be able to use magic cannons in the following battles.
Christian had already analyzed the enemy's language. They were from the island nation of East Asia. Twelve ships could hold tens of thousands of people. As long as all of them stepped onto the ice, he could kill a few hundred with a single shot, and even more would fall into the water. Now it was troublesome. The enemy hadn't sent their main force, so they must be preparing for a stronger attack.
Even the current harassment was unbearable. The island nation didn't seem to be afraid of death, and kept attacking the port's defensive line, leaving behind some corpses each time. They used this limited sacrifice to torture the defenders' nerves, and kept the people on the defensive line in a constant state of tension.
Truman's magic level wasn't high enough, but he had always liked to read books about war, and was very familiar with all kinds of battle techniques. In his eyes, a small-scale battle like this was nothing. It could be said that Truman was a rare magician with the qualities to be a general.
If he was in charge of the battle, at least everyone wouldn't be so tired. Daniel had made everyone too nervous, and that wasn't a good sign. But Truman immediately regained his confidence when he heard that Sarlin had returned. Although he didn't think that Sarlin's command would be better, Truman knew that as long as Sarlin was there, everyone would be encouraged.
War was very simple. If the commander had a cohesive force, it would increase the fighting power of the army. During the time Sarlin was away, Christian could only try to get everyone to stand in their positions, but he couldn't come up with any effective ideas.
The first thing Salin did when he returned was to tell everyone that he would avenge the dead. This didn't sound like something a magician would say. It sounded more like something a noble would say, but these warriors loved to hear it the most. Everyone's fatigue was basically caused by psychological factors. Salin's words made everyone let go of the burden in their hearts.
Lord Jason's student was indeed impressive! Truman was the person Jason had chosen for Salin, so of course he belonged to Jason's line of mages. At least half of the people on Serrig Island supported Jason. However, Jason was not the highest ranking person on the island, so it did not matter how many people supported him. Jason didn't want to break any rules.
However, there was no doubt that all the mages on the island were in favor of expanding the living space on Serrig Island. Jason's decision to support his own student in this matter was a little suspicious of him abusing his power for personal gain. However, the mages on Seriger Island who had the ability to do this were all sealed in the island to deal with the Fire Elemental Sprite. The remaining mages were not qualified enough, and did not have a backer like Salin, so no one objected to this matter.
However, in terms of support, it still needed mages who were trusted by Jason. Truman was the representative of these mages. These mages also admired Salin. After all, Salin had become a Level Five mage at such a young age. It was almost a certainty that he would become a Magic Shooter.
While Salin was arranging for the warriors to counterattack, on the Coiled Turtle Alchemy Ship, a few mages and Nelis were asleep. They were waiting for the time to come to attack. With the Winged Skeletons watching, those ships could not escape. It would take at least more than an hour to retract the anchor and set sail.
The shell of the Coiled Turtle Alchemy Ship was now dark green and could blend in with the seawater. It would be difficult for people with good eyesight to discover it. This thing was originally the shell of a sea creature, so Salin did not add any magic circles to it. On the surface of the sea, a few four-legged snake-like Bone Spirits were paddling in the water, staring at the enemy's flagship.
The lights on the flagship flickered, and the sky gradually darkened. It was much easier for the Winged Skeletons to monitor them. It was difficult to use a sound transmission magic circle on a ship, unless it was the same ship. This was because any communication magic required a stable coordinate. When a ship was moving on the sea, it was extremely difficult to get any coordinates.
The Winged Skeleton's ship was parked right below these warships. The sea was less than 300 meters deep. This area was still considered an extension of the mainland, and the water was not as deep as the sea. The Winged Skeleton could easily monitor these ships.
When the hands of the magic clock pointed to 21, the Winged Skeleton released a bunch of Bone Spirits that were only the size of a fingernail. These Bone Spirits were created by his own research. They swam to the surface of the water, quietly climbed onto the iron chains that were tied to the Seriger Island's warships, and began to gnaw on them with their teeth.
Salin did not want these two warships to sink with the enemy. After all, they were given to him by his teacher, and these warships were very powerful. If it was not for the fact that there was no one to control them, they would not have been captured by these people from the Eastern Sea Nation.
The tiny Bone Spirits had sharp teeth. Under the control of the Winged Skeleton, they climbed along the iron chains to the parts that were dragged under the water, and began to gnaw slowly. The Seriger Island's warships were anchored here. In fact, this place was not suitable for anchoring. For a warship, the water here was too deep. If they wanted to lift the anchor and leave, it would take too much time in such a deep water. It was because of this that Salin asked the Winged Skeleton to stay behind. After all, it would be difficult for the enemy to escape. Only by attacking from both sides could he vent his hatred.
At the end of the day, Salin was still a Scottinyan. If it was possible, Salin would be willing to compete with the enemy with gold coins. He did not like the bloody slaughter. However, as soon as Salin returned, he saw more than a hundred corpses on the island. All the corpses were stripped of their leather armor, leaving only a pair of shorts. Many of them had their limbs chopped off. No matter how good Salin's temper was, he could not stand it. In the order he gave, he did not mention capturing captives.
Kacha, kacha. The tiny Bone Spirits were making almost inaudible sounds. Moreover, they were doing it underwater, so the sentries on the ships did not notice. The Bone Spirits were not high-level creatures, but the iron chains of the warships were not refined metals either. After about half an hour, the iron chains were only connected by a thin thread.
The Bone Spirits stopped under the control of the Winged Skeleton. It was such a thin thread, there was no need to cut it. As long as the enemy's warships sank, the iron chains would naturally break.
Out of the twelve ships, only the flagship was lit. The rest of the ships were all dark. It seemed that the enemy would not attack tonight. The Winged Skeleton was happy. The success rate of Salin's plan had greatly increased.
The Coiled Turtle Alchemy Ship had been modified several times. Later, Salin added the Green Spirit from the Chaos Swamp, but the number of Bone Spirits stored was still not too many.
Bone Spur Fish that could be used to attack the enemy ships could only be produced every day. There were many Blood Tears Stones, but most of them were used as fuel for the spiritual pool. The remaining 24 were reserved for the Bone Spur Fish.
The newly added small spiritual pool at the stern could only produce six Bone Spirits a day. They were of a higher level, but they could only carry Blood Tears Stones to attack. There was no new way. Most magic's attack range and power would be weakened underwater. Although the Bone Spirit's attack method was slow, its attack range was long enough.
The Bone Spur Fish could now attack targets from about three miles away. The newly developed Bone Spirits at the stern could attack from six miles away.
Zhu Dikeke had chosen the Bone Spur Fish as the attacking Bone Spirit because it was very fast. It could reach up to 120 miles. In other words, if the target was fixed at a distance of three miles, the Bone Spur Fish could hit the target in one and a half minutes after leaving the alchemy ship.
Bone Spirits were a kind of undead creature. As long as the enemy was not more than the distance controlled by the spiritual pool, the Bone Spur Fish could follow the target until the Blood Tears Stone exploded.
The spiritual pool was inlaid with Green Spirit Gems. These low-quality Green Spirits could still contain summoned creatures, but their levels were too low, so the size they could contain was limited. Fortunately, the Bone Spur Fish were not big, so these low-quality gems were enough.
In the spiritual pool at the bow, the Green Spirit could store 12 days' worth of Bone Spur Fish. The other Bone Spirits could only store very little. However, with the 24 Bone Spur Fish that could be stored in the spiritual pool every day, the Winged Skeleton had 312 Bone Spur Fish. It needed at least 12 Bone Spur Fish to deal with a battleship. 312 Bone Spur Fish could attack 26 targets at the same time.
The enemy had 12 ships, and the Winged Skeleton was very cautious. It used 12 Bone Spur Fish to attack eight of the armed merchant ships. As for the remaining four real battleships, the Winged Skeleton simply used four times the supply to ensure that the four battleships could not be repaired and sank completely.
The hands of the Magic Clock slowly approached the 22 o 'clock position. The Winged Skeleton gradually released Bony Barbed Fish. Very quickly, over 200 Bony Barbed Fish emerged from the Magic Crystal at the bow of the ship, waiting for the Winged Skeleton's next order. The bellies of these Bone Spur Fish were a little big, and they were filled with Blood Tears Stones that could explode at any time.
Blood Tears Stones could be seen everywhere in the Undead Plane, and they were in a very stable state. However, this was the Myers Continent, and there were life auras everywhere. Blood Tears Stones were only temporarily safe in the belly of the Bone Spirits. Once the Bone Spirits were attacked, these Blood Tears Stones would explode.
The five Magicians and Neris woke up, and they watched all this nervously. Although they were hiding 200 meters deep, they had to be careful of the enemy's counterattack. Or there might be Magic Shooters coming down to look for the alchemy ship. That would be the most terrifying. The five low-level Magicians were ready to drive the ship to the maximum speed at any time, and Neris stood in front of the offensive magic circle. If they couldn't escape, the Ice Bomb in the water was considered powerful. At least the magic circle designed by Salin was not affected by the underwater environment.
The Coiled Turtle Alchemy Ship's first battle was to face 12 enemies, and even Neris was a little nervous.
Ding!
The magic seed made a slight chirping sound, and it was time for 22 o 'clock.
