Fifty miles, forty miles, fifteen miles …
They were getting closer and closer. There was a magic book by Kornuk's hand. It was a book that introduced the language of the undead.
Fortunately, skeletons had evolved to have intelligence. After Cornuco gave the order, the dragon skeleton warship started to accelerate. The bow adjusted its position and extended forward. The pair of sharp and huge dragon horns were like huge lances.
The Eye of the Undead finally captured a clear image when they were ten miles away. There were six ironclads. There were no Qinyin Empire emblems on them, and they were not from Alchemy City.
Cornuco heaved a sigh of relief. He really didn't know what to do if they were warships from Alchemy City. Although Serrig Island and Alchemy City weren't superior and subordinate, Cornuco didn't want to start a war and offend such a huge force.
The six ironclads were bronze in color. They suddenly spread out and slowed down when they were ten miles away. They were preparing to use the magic catapults. The stones thrown by the magic catapults were also magic items. Some of them could weigh thousands of kilograms. No matter how sturdy the dragon skeleton warship was, it would still be damaged under the bombardment.
The Shadow Sail was put away. The 36 skeletons stood in the magic formation and activated the core power of the dragon skeleton warship. The warship twisted slightly and suddenly accelerated. Its speed increased from seventy miles to more than fifty miles.
The Eye of the Undead captured the flag signals between the six warships. They had already discovered the enemy's flagship. Cornuco gave the order to ram without hesitation. Their target was this flagship. The enemy's supreme commander was on the flagship. If the flagship was destroyed, the enemy would have no commander.
The dense vibrations in the air were unusually sharp in the wind. Dozens of magic stones flew up at the same time and landed in the direction of the dragon skeleton warship. The enemy was firing while advancing. They must be experienced soldiers.
The magic stones were unusually dense and didn't scatter. The enemy's accuracy exceeded Cornuco's expectations. However, because the dragon skeleton warship suddenly accelerated, the enemy made a wrong judgment. The dozens of magic stones all landed behind the dragon skeleton warship. The magic stones weren't magic. They were slow and couldn't automatically track. They were weaker than the explosion of the Blood Stones carried by the bone spirits.
The Dragon Sea Battleship was unscathed, but Cornuk's expression was somewhat heavy. He said to Salin, "Sir, the enemy can use magic catapults while moving at high speed. There must be great magicians on all six ships.
"Six great magicians?" Salin frowned and said, "Tell the swordsmen not to go out. We'll fight them head-on and sink the ship. What's the use of having a Great Magician?"
Salin was also muttering in his heart. These six warships couldn't be considered a main force anywhere, so why did they have so many Great Magicians? The news of him sinking those battleships must have been leaked. Damn it, it actually attracted the attention of the East Sea Coalition Army. These six battleships were the vanguard, and there was no telling how much trouble there would be behind them.
Thinking of this, he couldn't let any of his enemies escape.
"Neris, if the Archmage on the other side can fly, you and Shika have to take action. Kill them all, I don't want any captives. "
"Yes, Master," Neris replied with a smile. She liked killing people, but Salin didn't like it, so her hands were tied. Now that Salin told her not to keep them alive, Neris was quite happy.
Salin wasn't pedantic at all. The enemy had more than six Great Magicians. If he couldn't kill a few by surprise and was besieged, the consequences would be worrying. Why didn't he bring the three kings this time?
Salin didn't bring the three kings because there was no more defense in the city. After he took away the last two drivers, there were only Caucasians and a few low-level magicians left in the city. If the three kings didn't stay, once the city was attacked, Salin's nest would be lost.
Salin's city wasn't small, and he didn't have enough manpower. Every day, a few hundred people rode demon wolves or skeleton warhorses to patrol the suburbs. It was impossible to effectively monitor all directions.
The best way was to learn from Holy Rock City and build a militarized town a few dozen miles to the north and west of Metatlin City. It would be best if there was a Magic Tower attached. Otherwise, it would be very difficult for an isolated city to detect approaching enemies. But Salin couldn't even gather enough soldiers to defend the city walls, let alone build a town. He could only concentrate his power in the center of the city and let the three kings oversee it. As long as the enemy wasn't a level-9 Magic Shooter, the three kings could deal with them.
The relative speed of the two warships had reached 150 miles. A few miles were crossed in the blink of an eye. Before the six warships could react, Salin's dragon skeleton warship had crashed into the flagship.
The flagship had fewer magic catapults, only three. With this collision, the Great Magician in the middle of the three catapults fell to the ground. The magic puppets in charge of transporting the stones were all sent flying. Dozens of soldiers nearby were injured.
The sound of a landslide sounded on the sea. The warship equipped with armor that was more than two centimeters thick was smashed by the dragon skeleton warship. The warship's keel was made of wood. Although it could absorb the impact, the force of the collision had exceeded the warship's limit. In less than ten seconds, the sound of beans exploding came from inside the warship.
The Great Magician on the deck climbed up and looked at the dragon skeleton warship in horror. The huge dragon horn had torn the warship's armor. The bow was gone, and debris flew everywhere.
The opposing warship didn't continue to attack the flagship. Instead, it quickly turned around and pounced on another warship. This time, the dragon skeleton warship crashed into the second warship from the side. The second warship didn't even struggle before a huge hole was created in the middle.
The dragon skeleton warship didn't need to continue attacking. Under the force of the seawater, the heavily damaged ironclad warship was quickly broken. It would sink into the sea in less than ten minutes.
None of the warships were more than two miles away. The other four warships reacted a little slower when they saw this. They only fired the magic stone bombs when the second warship was destroyed.
The dragon skeleton warship quickly dodged the stone bombs falling from the sky. In the cabin of the warship, everyone was trying to stabilize their bodies. Although the cabin didn't shake much after the collision, the nimble dodging movements made everyone stagger. Only the 70 skeletons were unaffected. They controlled the warship steadily.
Nelis's eyes lit up. "Master, this is too exciting!"
Salin didn't know the Gravity Spell. He could only hold Nelis with a bitter expression. The sturdiness of the warship exceeded his expectations. When the magic stone bombs hit, only some of the deck was damaged. The hull wasn't affected at all. As long as no one was standing on the deck, such attacks wouldn't cause any trouble to the dragon skeleton warship.
However, when the warship was spinning crazily, he wanted to tie himself to the ground unless he could fly.
As long as the warship wasn't surrounded, 12 warships of the same size wouldn't be able to hurt it. Because the dragon skeleton warship was too fast, and its acceleration and deceleration were very sudden, it was difficult for the magic stone bombs to accurately target a good landing point. Only a fifth of the enemy's second round of attacks landed near the warship.
What made Salin's heart hurt was that this method of dodging increased the consumption of the magic cores by five times. In just a short while, the magic cores worth tens of thousands of gold coins had been used up.
"Sir, they're here!"
Salin didn't need to be reminded. He could already see four Magicians flying toward the dragon skeleton warship from the image transmitted by the Eye of the Undead. Two of them were barely flying. Salin calmed down a little. They were Level-5 Magicians who had just learned the art of flying. The other two weren't Magic Shooters either. Their flying speed was about the same as his, even slower than his Cloud Walk.
Theoretically speaking, if the dragon skeleton warship ran at full speed, these Magicians wouldn't even be able to catch up. However, there were still three warships that hadn't been sunk. If Salin escaped, the three warships would be saved.
"Neris, work with Ainphent to deal with one. Sica and I will deal with the other," Salin calmly ordered.
"What about us?" Cornuko and Passataro asked. The two Level-4 Magicians were very strong. If the battle wasn't so long, they could barely deal with a Level-5 Magician if they worked together.
"Use your scrolls. Just hold them off for two minutes." Salin licked his lips. It had been a long time since he'd fought personally. He felt a fire burning in his heart, as if he was looking forward to the upcoming conflict.
The remaining three warships stopped firing magic stone bombs. The Great Magicians on the ships had all left. They could no longer accurately control the landing point of the stone bombs. If they were careless, they might even smash their own people from the sky.
"Hey." Seeing that the warship had stopped turning crazily, Sica let go of Salin and took out her weapon from the Ring of Blessings, the giant staff. She didn't feel any pressure in the upcoming battle. Her weapon was too powerful. As long as she could get close, no shield below the level of Magic Shooter would be able to stop her staff. Salin's Water Shield was stronger and more resilient than the Ice Armor, but she still managed to break more than a dozen layers with one strike.
The only problem was that she couldn't fly. If the Magicians wanted to escape, she couldn't do anything. However, the enemy was here to fight. If they ran, the dragon skeleton warship would chase after them one by one and sink their ships. Without their ships, the Magicians might not be able to make it back alive on the sea.
Southwest of Phoenix, a medium-sized city called Strangeburg. The city gate was tightly shut. Fifty miles away from the city was a continuous encampment. The snow around the encampment hadn't been cleared. Clearly, this was a temporary camp. Outside the encampment, there were armored knights patrolling. These knights looked solemn and disciplined. There was a dark red symbol on the chest of their armor — a six-winged flying snake.
