The orders issued by the captains of the warships were uniform.
"Quick! Quick! Quick! "
The cannoneers on the ships also exerted all their strength, desperately transporting and loading ammunition. At this time, no one wanted to experience the hell of "suffocation" that was worse than death.
They were racing against time, but the reaction of the "ghost ship" was faster than them.
They learned from their mistakes to prevent being sniped again.
Wake Wales pulled the "bow statue" up and jumped off the ship's forecastle. He smashed the two-meter-tall heavy "bow statue" into the middle of the decaying deck and stood it up again.
The strange incantation echoed on the "ghost ship" again, but it was different from the previous deep and cold. This time, the incantation made people feel as if they were in magma!
Soon.
The last head that represented "resentment" suddenly opened its eyes, and endless green flames spurted out from its eye sockets. The flames ignited the sails, the deck, and everything on the "ghost ship". It also ignited the ghosts in the dark.
In the blink of an eye, the entire "ghost ship" turned into a huge fireball. A collision horn formed by green flames condensed at the bow of the ship, and the scorching heat caused the seawater around it to evaporate, turning into rolling white mist that spread out.
Then, the "ghost ship" was like a huge out-of-control locomotive, wrapped in rolling white mist, rushing towards the naval fleet at a speed that was impossible for ordinary sailing ships.
Hu — —
Crackle!
"Fire!"
Facing the "collision horn", a primitive naval battle method from hundreds of years ago, the navy was stunned, but it was impossible for them to sit still and wait for death. They launched another salvo!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The clouds were torn apart, and the sea trembled again!
But the "ghost ship" seemed to have not seen the roaring cannonballs and directly crashed into them.
Most of the cannonballs were directly blocked by the scorching flames. Even if a few cannonballs occasionally went through the curtain of fire and exploded a big hole in the hull, the flames would sweep away in the blink of an eye, and the rotten planks would be restored to their original state.
It was obvious that the raging fire was not fueled by the Ghostship but was protecting it all the time as a shield with no blind spots!
The cannonballs that landed on the Ghostship, on the other hand, did not receive such treatment. They were soon melted by the heat and fell into the sea.
"That's impossible!"
Elvin, who saw everything through the scope, opened his mouth slightly. This wasn't a lead bullet with a melting point of 327 degrees, but a solid wrought iron bullet with a melting point of more than 1,500 degrees!
It was hard to imagine what would happen if a wooden sail-powered battleship were to be approached by such flames.
Elvin already knew that the miraculous ability of the Specter Ship came from the Bow Statue. He still wanted to use the sniper rifle to interrupt the effect of the witchcraft.
However, after the "bow statue" had been moved by Wark, there was now the ship's forecastle and bulwarks blocking it. In addition to the heavy flame curtains, Elvin could no longer find an opportunity.
And the Specter Ship obviously would not give them another chance.
After transforming into flames, the Specter Ship had gained a complete mobility advantage. Its speed had reached an astonishing 32 knots. Compared to a sail warship that could only travel at 10 knots in theory, it was as if it was flying on the surface of the sea.
In the midst of the rapid advance, when the fleet realized that their attacks were ineffective and was preparing to change their formation, they had already rushed into the battleship formation.
Boom!
In the earth-shattering sound, a third-level battleship that could not dodge in time was rammed into the belly of the ship by the Specter Ship's flame ram. The raging flames instantly spread to the battleship.
"Help!"
"Put out the fire!"
But before the crew on the ship could take any further measures.
Boom!!!
Soon after, a massive rumble exploded in the ears of the marines. Accompanied by dozens of meter tall waves, this third class ship actually leapt up from the sea surface, before it crashed back down into the sea surface, breaking into two halves.
Immediately after, the raging flames engulfed the wreckage of the third-level battleship.
"The ammunition depot blew up?!!"
The dazzling orange-red flames reflected the faces of all the marines present. One by one, they opened their mouths in disbelief. A third-level battleship was destroyed just like that?
"Not good! It's coming again! "
Without any scruples about the reaction of the other battleships, the "pirate ship" that seemed to have activated "Invincible Protection" swaggered through the wreckage of the third-level battleship, then turned around and rushed into the battleship formation again.
The powerful battleship that the civilized world was proud of was like a child's toy in the hands of the pirate ship at this time, without the slightest resistance. A deep sense of powerlessness shrouded everyone from the fleet commander to the bottom-level marines.
Paul, who was next to Elvin, was livid. Seeing that the situation was beginning to slide into the abyss, he no longer had the confidence and high spirits that he had at the beginning. He said helplessly, "Goddess! Is this' Specter Ship 'a quasi-legendary battleship?! "
.....
"Ahahaha, you damn marines who dare to obstruct the descent of the gods, have you tasted my power?"
Amidst the ear-piercing laughter of the "Dead Soul Box", the "burning Specter Ship" was still rampaging on the sea.
At this time.
The turmoil in the city was not only not quelled by the City Guard, but also became more and more intense. And as the number of victims increased, endless negative emotions accumulated in the city little by little. Gradually, even the air began to be filled with a disturbing smell.
It was like standing on the top of a cliff swept by the wind, the feeling of falling into the abyss at any time ruled the heart of every living creature in the "New Haven" area.
The sense of panic slowly deepened. Not only were humans aware, but many animals with more sensitive senses had already begun to run out of the city in groups.
"Woof woof woof …"
"Meow —"
"Chirp chirp chirp …"
"Squeak squeak squeak …"
Countless cats, dogs, birds, and even rats and insects in the city all ran to the streets as if a natural disaster was approaching! A great disaster was imminent!
Some changes that many people did not want to see had quietly occurred.
"Look at the moon! What is that?! "
On the fleet flagship "Frost White Sword", Crail's sudden exclamation attracted everyone's attention.
In the middle of the completely blood-red moon, a small black dot suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
And as time passed, the small dot was slowly expanding. In the time it took everyone to look at the sky, the small black dot had expanded from an undetectable state to the size of a coin.
Elvin and the others, who already knew the inside story, looked at each other and saw the fear in each other's eyes. That was …!!!
Built in an unfathomable place, in the Sorcerer's Garden called the "Rune Workshop". Through the transparent dome, there were two people who also saw this scene.
The old man with white hair and beard, who still looked as valiant as a lion, sighed softly. "Sigh! To be able to do this, the 'Dead Soul Box' really has something to rely on for its comeback after eight years. "
"With Mr. Headmaster here, they are just clowns. The outcome is already decided, isn't it?"
Her Royal Highness complimented the old headmaster. Levina, who had a comprehensive understanding of the old man's actions, knew that the current situation was far from out of control.
Moreover, this former admiral of the navy was not at all as old as his appearance suggested. As an upper rank 3 Magus of the School of Alchemy, although he maintained the appearance of an old man, with the means of a Magus, he could not even predict how long he would live.
"Alright, Your Highness. If you don't act now, our brave navy lads won't be able to hold on. Do you want to come with me? "
"Of course!"
At this moment, the legendary warship "Steam Fortress" under their feet roared. White mist drifted away as it slowly moved.
This was a veritable giant of steel!
The entire ship was made of steel that had been enchanted with alchemy. The length of the ship was more than 120 meters, and the displacement of 5,000 tons. With a magically modified steam engine as the driving force, it was like a floating fortress of steel.
It was the king of the seas of this era, and also the last national weapon of the Kingdom of Faletis!
