To the south of the treasure fleet, close to twenty kilometers away.
There was no need to detonate the so called ammunition, the two fully armed Fifth Grade Ships of the Sack Empire were torn apart by the momentum of the halberd like paper. Then there was the giant fireball created by the explosion of the gunpowder!
Even though they were tens of kilometers away from each other, the loud roar that reverberated through the sea, as well as the fireworks that rose hundreds of meters into the air, were all clearly captured by all the ships in this area of the sea.
Hong!
After that, there was a smaller explosion.
It wasn't that the Bronze Halberd wasn't efficient enough, but that some unknown pirate ship happened to be behind Sark's two cruisers, and was sent flying into the sky by the Bronze Halberd's remaining power!
After the shocking fire and roar, Ye Zichen was stunned.
It was like someone had pressed the pause button and the air within several dozen kilometers froze.
Then it was like they had all received a signal. The ships around the treasure fleet all turned around and made the same choice as Elvin.
"Quick! Quick! Quick! Could it be that I was wrong and the leading ship wasn't the 'commander', but rather a fake legendary ship? "
"Damn, this master isn't doing this, quickly turn around!"
"Life is more important, to hell with the mission, orders ….."
Under this kind of attack, no one could resist it. It was only a matter of whether this half legendary ship wanted to or not, it wasn't a matter of whether they could or couldn't!
It was like a group of wild cats looking forward to the leftovers of a banquet, but they suddenly saw their master take out a shotgun and kill one of their companions. How could they not run away?
Actually, when the large forces didn't have the determination to send out a large fleet to fight to the death, these fellows who were looking forward to meat pies falling from the sky were just trying their luck. The ones who weren't that lucky had already become the chicken that was used as a warning monkey.
"'Reverse Cross Halberd' ready, full speed reset!!!"
The lieutenant general was in high spirits, he had already seen the battleship that had been turned into scrap by the long range attack in the blood red mirror. With the speed of the ships of this era, it didn't make any difference to him if the furthest person ran half an hour ahead.
Now that lieutenant general Orston had experienced the pleasure of having a sixty meter long blade, so what if he let you run 59 meters ahead? Hahaha …
The power of the sorcerers was too amazing. He couldn't help but look forward to the cooperation between the kingdom and the overseas sorcerers.
Creak! Creak!
After the soldiers shouted and tightened the winch, the general personally placed a golden bronze halberd into the slot.
Under the control of the archer, the ballista slowly turned 180 degrees and pointed to the north. The chilly aura of autumn and winter once again descended on the Pan Sea Region.
Hiss — —
In the distance, a shocking chill instantly shrouded the hearts of the two wizards, Elvin and Milan. As sensitive as they were, they immediately sensed that something was wrong the moment the ballista locked onto them.
"F * ck, it's none of my business. I'm just a passerby who happened to pass by!"
Elvin, who had the visual vision of a seabird, had a clearer view of the "ballista" than the great wizard. It tore two fifth-level cruisers into pieces almost in an instant, and the remaining power even destroyed a pirate ship.
He had only happened to pass by, but he had actually been chosen as a target to make an example out of!
It was a f * cking injustice!
However, now was not the time to complain. The other party would not listen to his explanation.
It was impossible to escape the enemy's shooting range with the speed of the ship in a short period of time. Perhaps in the next second, the halberd would fall like a divine punishment.
Elvin could not help but curse a few times. He quickly thought of a way to escape.
"Milan, activate the 'Mist Silver Lamp'! It doesn't have to be dense, just enough to interfere with the enemy's vision, but the range must be large! "
At the same time, Elvin quickly gave the helmsman a second order.
"Adjust a compass point to the starboard!"
At this moment, even without the seabird's vision, the crew was keenly aware of what had happened just now, combined with the abnormal behavior of the captain who was a sorcerer.
The fireball that soared into the sky would soon be their future!
The sailors used all the methods they could think of, desperately trying to make the "Storm Horn" run faster.
After a soldier finished his work, he leaned weakly against the wall. Even though he was sweating profusely, he did not bother to wipe it off. He devoutly drew on his chest, "Goddess bless! Goddess bless! "
It was as if they were about to receive their final judgment. Most of them did not even believe that they could survive the attack that shook the sea.
Just a moment ago, they were filled with the high spirits of entering a Level 4 battleship, but in the blink of an eye, they were beaten into the abyss.
However, until the last moment, Elvin, who shouldered the crucial responsibility of the captain, would not give up hope.
In fact, with the help of the seabird's vision, Elvin clearly knew that after adjusting the course, the three battleships on his side would be in an absolute line with the enemy's "ballista" cannons.
With the halberd's penetrative power, this was practically sending their necks to the enemy's noose.
It was not that Elvin did not want to die fast enough. The purpose of this operation was to buy time and create an opportunity for the "Storm Horn" to escape.
That's right.
Elvin was already prepared to sacrifice the "Thumb" and his first battleship after becoming the captain, the "Roaring Conch". After all, all the sailors were working on the "Storm Horn". Although the loss of two battleships was not small, it was not unacceptable to Elvin.
Whoosh —
At this time, a large area of white fog had been released by Milan, but the deep sense of danger did not show any signs of subsiding.
It was as if there was an alchemy gun pointed at the back of his head. Waves of ice-cold, tangible death threats were constantly injected into Elvin's brain.
"Quick, cut the tow rope!"
Just as the three battleships entered the same straight line, the fog thickened. Elvin immediately ordered to abandon the two battleships behind them.
"Full left rudder!!!"
"Yes, full left rudder!"
With the cooperation of the strong mental fortitude of the helmsman and the sailor, the "Storm Horn" that had returned to its peak speed slowly turned around.
On the "Commander of the Guards".
"Huh, is there fog? It's okay, the predetermined position is unchanged. Fire! "
Boom —
The mechanical spring was released, and a thunderous clap resounded across the sea. Even though the flight would take at least ten seconds, Elvin could already hear the explosion in his heart.
After all, all the power of a battleship relied on the wind. Furthermore, it was extremely heavy, so it was impossible for it to be too agile in its turning. Even Elvin wasn't sure if he could shift the angle enough in such a short period of time to avoid the fate of the ship being destroyed and the people dying.
"Dodge! Everyone go to the port side! Hold tight to the bulwark! "
The crew scrambled to the port side and just managed to secure themselves.
Boom!!!
Two loud sounds exploded not far behind them. The heatwave, accompanied by a huge thrust, pushed the "Storm Horn" hard. The roaring hot wind almost burned people. Fortunately, the tall stern of the battleship blocked most of it.
Crackle —
What followed was the violent tremor of the hull. For ordinary soldiers, it was almost impossible to distinguish between the loud sound and the tremor. A few of the marines who did not hold tight to the hull were almost thrown into the sea.
Countless broken pieces of wood hit the deck and the crew. Ignoring the pain on their bodies, they looked up and saw that a third of the stern and the bare mizzen mast had been torn off by the violent airflow when the halberd brushed past them.
There was only joy in their eyes.
"We survived!!!"
"Goddess bless us!"
"Long live the captain!"
Standing on the deck that was much brighter all of a sudden, Elvin had no time to feel sorry for his new flagship. He ordered again, "Don't let your guard down. Throw away all unnecessary supplies, reduce the weight, and get away from this area!"
"Yes, sir!"
Plop … plop …
Only ten cannonballs were left for the extra food, drinks, furniture, and even cannons. The rest were thrown into the sea by the crew.
With the help of the "Monsoon Goddess" on the bow of the ship, the "Storm Horn" whose sails were fully drawn flew toward the north, away from the direction of the Treasure Fleet.
Soon, the one-minute activation time of the "Secret Treasure of the Sea, Misty Silver Lamp" was up. The fog at full power extended for more than ten kilometers, completely cutting off the enemy's vision.
Regarding this scene, no one on the "Commander of the Guards" other than Wizard Andon himself noticed it. Moreover, the reason why the adepts revealed their abilities was to impress the navy. How could they possibly expose their own weaknesses?
The moment the huge fireball rose, nobody doubted that there was a ship that could "foresee the enemy's attack" and survive such an attack. From the generals to the soldiers, they had all cast awe-inspiring looks at Andon.
"Interesting …" The Sorcerer retracted his spell and smiled indifferently, ignoring the other party.
The spying ships along the way had been "cleaned up". The Treasure Fleet set sail again, heading toward the Shilius mainland.
Soon, the noise created by the humans gradually faded away, and the sea area returned to its original state of thousands of years ago.
Boom!
But at this moment, the surface of the sea exploded, and a five-meter-long shark surfaced. Its black pentagonal eyes seemed to be out of focus as it stared blankly for a while. Then, it swayed its body and continued to follow the direction where the "Storm Horn" disappeared …
