Whoosh —
Whoosh —
The two eagles from the native pirates and the six iron-feathered frigatebirds from Elvin's side broke through the fog and arrived above the Roaring Conch.
Almost at the same time, the "air forces" from both sides entered the battlefield!
Due to the white fog blocking his vision, even with Eagle Warrior Calawsu's sharp eyes, he did not notice that other than his own giant eagle, there were six unusually large frigatebirds in the sky!
Looking at their appearance, it was obvious that they were the result of some kind of witchcraft transformation. Although they were slightly smaller than his McKinley condor, the six of them together were not to be underestimated.
Screech!
Screech …
Without the command of their masters, the "air forces" from both sides had spontaneously tangled with each other, circling and attacking the Roaring Conch. In the midst of the birdsong, broken feathers and blood fell from time to time.
Some of them belonged to McKinley condor, and some belonged to frigatebirds. The battle was evenly matched, and the giant eagle was even at a slight disadvantage.
The last foreign aid was neutralized, and Calawsu's heart suddenly sank to the bottom.
Suddenly.
Boom —!!!
A loud noise from afar made his heart thump again, and the bone-chilling cold penetrated into his bones!
At this time, the sea seemed to be trembling.
A bloody shadow that barely maintained the shape of an eagle cut through the fog, and under the guidance of the bloodline of the same race, it suddenly drilled into his body. Along with it came the last command of the wizard, "Revenge!!!"
"Hahaha, the ammunition compartment of the pirate ship exploded! 'Scorching Bullet' is really useful! "
A young voice shouted excitedly from the ship.
Then came the collective cheers of the soldiers.
"Hooray!"
“.....”
"Explosion?!!"
He did not even care that he was in the middle of the battlefield. The young first mate suddenly turned around and looked in the direction of the Spirit of the Eagle. At this moment, his eyes seemed to have penetrated the fog.
He saw the burning pirate ship slowly capsizing. He saw Wizard Akrava buried at the bottom of the sea with the pirate ship. He saw the last of his clansmen recognized by the Spirit of the Mighty Eagle who had nowhere to run. He also saw his own dreams shattered …
"Nothing … Nothing!"
"Revenge!" The order of the Magus took root in his heart, and instantly grew into an evil tree full of thorns and venom.
Karawsu's eyes instantly turned red, and the greenish-black tattoos on his body kept twisting as if they were about to come alive.
At this moment, the side effects of overusing his ability, the fact that his beloved eagle was already at a disadvantage, and the fact that he was surrounded by enemies … Nothing mattered anymore.
The bone daggers in his hands crisscrossed and slashed across the shoulder plates on his back, causing blood to spurt out!
Whoosh!
A pair of huge red and yellow deformed wings tore through his flesh and stretched out, and the strong wind pressure blew away all the sailors around him.
There was no doubt that he … had lost control!
The Eagle Warrior's loss of control was clearly much more terrifying than the Beyonders of the Knight path.
His face, which was originally considered handsome in the eyes of the natives, gradually transformed and elongated into a head that was half human and half eagle. The dissimilated joint on his right leg bent backwards, turning into an eagle claw.
There were hollow bones piercing through the skin and flesh under the ribs, growing out like deformed hyperplastic tissue. It was strange and disgusting.
In an extremely short period of time, he had turned into a monster that seemed to be a combination of half an eagle and half a man!
As if he didn't notice anything, the young True Eagle Warrior retracted his gaze from the distance. He turned around and glared at the culprit who caused all of this — the captain of the naval warship!
Screech!
The Eagle Man let out a hoarse and high-pitched eagle cry, and raised his arms that were holding the bone daggers …
Bang!
Bang! Bang!
After firing three shots in a row, Elvin blew the nonexistent smoke from the Thorny Golden Rose's muzzle and spat out, "Done and done!"
Bang!
The Eagle Man, who had a big hole in his chest, fell to the ground in disbelief with his eyes wide open.
However, there was no place for you to pose and play with memories on the battlefield.
At the beginning of Calausus's surprise attack across the sea, he wasn't sniped because Elvin was entangled by the poisonous bees. After he temporarily left the battle group and pulled away from Elvin again, his life was no longer in his own hands.
Elvin had seized the opportunity to shoot while he was "transforming". He also rewarded the two giant eagles that were covered in wounds from the aerial battle with a bullet each, sending them to reunite with their masters.
"Milan, remove the fog!"
In fact, Elvin and Milan were already prepared to face an official wizard in the beginning, but they benefited from the smooth execution of the battle plan.
Other than the unexpected intrusion of this native Extraordinaire. From the beginning to the end, they didn't face the strange means that the native wizard might have. Cough … In fact, they didn't want to see it at all.
After the explosion of the pirate ship, the number of pirates who were "lucky" to survive was very small, but they were all killed one by one by the marines who arrived on the longboats.
Because the ships in this era were all made of wood, their resistance to sinking was not bad.
Although there was a large piece of charred wreckage left on the pirate ship due to the explosion of the ammunition, it was still firmly floating on the surface of the sea until the "Roaring Conch" came close.
When the sailors were sent to inspect the wreckage, there were no accidents. However, as expected, there weren't many spoils of war collected.
A huge explosion had almost turned everything into nothingness!
Regarding this, Elvin didn't feel the slightest bit of heartache. After all, it was a battle with zero casualties, what else could he ask for?
"Sir Captain, can this be used?"
Flake didn't care about the danger and took the lead to climb up the pirate ship's wreckage to search for all the spoils of war. He was also the last to return. He brought back a piece of the pirate ship's charred main sail. On the black sail, there was still a part of an abstract silver eagle left.
It was the [Eagle Soul Protection] that the native wizard, Aklava, had once resided in.
"Thank you for your hard work, Flake!" Elvin gave the canvas to Milan after encouraging the new recruit who was very motivated to improve himself. Although the battle was won, he was most concerned about the life and death of the pirate captain, Wizard Aklava.
After a while, Milan, who was using the canvas as a medium for divination, opened her eyes and said with a smile, "You're lucky.
"Our luck is pretty good. He should have been directly affected by the explosion of the ammunition warehouse. Kill confirmed!"
"Not bad! Not bad! Victory in the first battle. More food for today! "
"Long live the Captain!"
Amidst the cheers of the crew, Elvin had already turned around and returned to the captain's cabin with Milan. He took out an extremely old piece of animal skin from his pocket and gently rubbed it in his hand.
"The harvest from the 'Eagle Warrior Training Technique' isn't bad!"
This was the spoils of war obtained from the young warrior who broke into the "Roaring Conch." Because the mysterious source of this world all came from the "Spiritual World Sun." Although the continents were separated by the vast sea, the transcendent language was similar.
This "Eagle Warrior Training Technique" was also written with a variant of the "Spiritual Language."
The body training and the training of giant eagles were very primitive and were not in Elvin's eyes. However, the method of using tattoos to engrave and borrow the power of animal spirits made Elvin very interested.
Although there seemed to be some kind of flaw, it was not necessarily not a beneficial supplement for the transcendent Knight.
Just as he was discussing the possible application of this "Eagle Warrior Training Technique" with Milan, who was also a wizard, there was a knock on the door of the captain's cabin.
Knock … knock … knock …
"Come in."
"Sir Captain, our ammunition reserve is less than half. What do you think?"
At this time, the chief officer in charge of the ship's logistics knocked on the door and came in, reporting the loss of supplies after the battle. Everything else was fine, but today's practice of pouring out ammunition to their heart's content had caused the ammunition reserve to be in short supply. It was completely unable to support another battle of the same level.
After listening to the chief officer's report, Elvin also felt that this problem must be solved as soon as possible, so he turned his gaze to Milan.
"Mr. Navigator, I remember that the nearest naval base to our location is in St. Martin, right?"
St. Martin.
It was a naval base controlled by the Tulip Duchy in the alliance.
In fact, the name "Tulip Alliance" came from this. Although it was only a duchy, it had a very special status in the alliance.
Because it was better to call it "Tulip Duchy" than "Tulip Duchy". As the headquarters of the Black Iron Cross Church, which was the common belief of all the countries in the alliance, the pope was automatically crowned "Tulip Grand Duke". He was both the shepherd of the faith and the secular ruler.
However, the ownership of the base was temporarily put aside.
Because the ships of this era were all made of wood, after sailing for a long time at sea, the hull would be continuously eroded by seawater and parasites, and the underwater parts would be easily corroded. The storm baptism and the force of artillery would also loosen the structural framework of the warship, so the ship had to be regularly docked at the dock for major repairs.
Otherwise, if the wood was allowed to loosen and corrode, the lifespan of the entire ship would be reduced. In the end, it might not be able to withstand the test of storms and capsize during a long voyage.
On the other hand, if a wooden sailboat was well built and regularly maintained, it could easily survive for 50 years.
Therefore, for a fleet, it was crucial to have a sufficient number of dry docks for regular maintenance of their warships.
The naval bases of various countries were often built with the docks as the core. Such bases could provide safe moorings for the fleet, rest and medical facilities for the sailors, and so on.
At the same time, the navy could also obtain sails, rigging, decks, masts, guns, ammunition, food, fresh water and replenishment of personnel in the naval base. Even if they were far away from home, they could still maintain full combat strength.
Therefore, within the territorial waters of the Tulip Alliance, along the main routes, there were large and small naval bases like a chain of pearls. They were operated by various countries, but they were for the common use of the alliance.
While reducing operating costs, it also greatly expanded the operational radius of the alliance's navies. Of course, the naval base in St. Martin was the same.
Although the Roaring Conch belonged to the Kingdom of Faletis, it was still qualified to use it.
