In the "Tulip Alliance."
Although the Church of the Goddess was also hostile to the group of wizards.
However, they would be particularly tolerant of the actions and creations of the voyage, such as the "Song of the Siren," "Bow Statue," "Alchemy Bomb," and so on, which were clearly creations of witchcraft.
However, in the Kingdom of Shilius, all kinds of witchcraft creations were strictly controlled.
Even the military "Alchemy Bomb" and the civilian "Steam Engine" that were very common in other countries were very rare. It was to the extent that every witchcraft creations owned by the military had to be reported to the Church.
Even the few "legendary warships" that Shilius was using to suppress the ocean right now relied on the divine power that belonged to the Eternal Fire, not the sorcery of alchemists or other schools of sorcerers, when they completed the extraordinary transformation as a whole.
Of course.
The "Legendary Warships" that were "blessed" by God would definitely have a part of the property rights belonging to the Church of God. This was beyond doubt!
Although Philip II was currently the most honorable king in the known world, and even his regime was a strict totalitarian rule, as long as the Church existed, he was far from being able to do whatever he wanted.
However.
Even such a strict Church had no reason to restrict the kingdom from using the "Secret Treasure of the Sea" that was naturally formed. Even after the start of the great voyage, many Churches unanimously claimed that this was a treasure that God had given to mankind.
[Secret Treasure of the Sea: Current Horn]
Although it was not as heaven-defying as controlling the ocean currents, the effect was still very practical.
Ability: Controlling the direction of the ocean currents, freely controlling the strength (there is an upper limit).
Used to increase the speed of the ship, achieving the effect of accelerating with the current and braking against the current.
Used on other ships, it can even offset the effect of the opponent's sails and cause the opponent to retreat.
At this moment.
Under the combined effect of the stagnation of the current and the loss of speed of the damaged sails, the Storm Horn was finally pulled into the boarding battle by the Starden Fort.
Before the Shilius soldiers fired the first shot.
Flo —
In the emerald green light of magic.
More than a dozen thick "Giant Vines" rapidly expanded and extended from the bulwark of the Storm Horn like pythons, rushing up to the deck of the Starden Fort from below.
Bang! Bang! "Bang!"
The eight 9-pounder cannons on one side of the main deck were violently overturned. The tumbling cannon barrels smashed onto the deck, causing the soldiers who were already lined up beside the cannons to be thrown off their feet.
"Be careful, it's sorcery. Dodge!"
This was, of course, Elvin's masterpiece.
If they were allowed to fire at 'Storm Horn' with the advantage of the height of the level-three starship, a few grape bullets would be enough to wipe out all the common soldiers on the deck.
Even if they could finally attack the third-grade warship, they would have to pay a huge price!
Bang!
Then, Elvin took out his Thorny Golden Rose and fired the first shot of this boarding battle.
However, it was not the crew of the Starburg that was attacked, but the last cruiser that was coming from the other side at the same time.
Due to the interference of the Endeavour, the fifth-class cruiser, which should have been faster, entered the battlefield later than the third-class battleship.
At this moment, the broken wheel finally stopped.
It was already very disadvantageous for them to be dragged into the boarding battle that Shilius was best at. If they were besieged by another warship at this time, they would be in real danger.
After all, from the perspective of the ship's crew, 350 against 680 was already an absolute disadvantage, not to mention that they were on the side of the 'siege'.
"Catch!"
He threw his Thorny Golden Rose to Milan beside him.
"Stay on our ship. If the situation looks bad, use 'Crafty Fate'."
Then, Elvin unsheathed his sword and led the charge!
"Follow me and attack."
When they realized that the boarding battle was inevitable, the soldiers on the ship had already gathered.
"Kill!"
"Roar! Kill! "
Gary, who was wearing heavy armor, roared as he raised his battle axe and followed closely behind.
In this kind of 'siege' on the sea, it was impossible to expect the enemy to give up their height advantage and come down to fight with them.
Although the Shilius Marines were known to be invincible, it did not mean that they had to engage in close combat. As long as they kept firing from above, they could cause huge damage to the Falertis Navy.
Times had changed.
The main weapons of the Marines were no longer limited to cold weapons like swords.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Due to the dozen or so bridges formed by the giant vines, the crew was able to rush directly from the Storm Horn to the third-level ship. The height difference between the bulwarks did not give the Shilius the huge advantage that they had imagined.
After a wave of lead bullets were sent out by the lances and handguns, the two sides collided in a blur of green smoke.
Clang!
"Kill!"
Crack!
Roars, battle cries, and the sound of limbs breaking were all mixed together.
In the blink of an eye, the naval battle had reached the most tragic and difficult part. For the soldiers of the Storm Horn, they had finally welcomed the most dangerous battle since they came out to sea!
Shilius's side had the advantage in numbers, their fighting style was fierce, and their swordsmanship was skillful. It was not without reason that they were known to be invincible in boarding battles.
As soon as the battle began, it was obvious that the ordinary soldiers of the Storm Horn were at a disadvantage.
But … Elvin also had a trump card in his hand.
It was the 60 "Animated Beast Skins" that he had made in the past month at the speed of two a day!
He prioritized equipping them to the Marines with the strongest individual combat strength and obtained a powerful force with an average strength of the late Probationary stage.
Behind the axe-wielding Gary.
A group of soldiers with "fish skins" of different colors wrapped around their waists shouted in unison.
"Roar! Invincible! "
The "fish skins" on their bodies immediately seemed to come alive as they continuously extended and wrapped around their bodies. Finally, they turned into a group of strong alien warriors that were half a head taller than the others on average.
They had bulging muscles, skin covered in shield scales, extended dorsal fins, and fish mouths that were completely attached to the back of their heads. Although they still retained many of the characteristics of fish, they would not be mistaken for fish monsters this time.
From the skin color, one could tell the original owner of the fish skin.
Green, black, brown, dark blue, striped … There were all kinds of colors. Most of them were various kinds of sharks, but there were also some ferocious tigerfish.
The further they went, the more human-like they became. They were much stronger than the "shark monsters" that Baldwin had made in the beginning.
Then.
In the first real battle, this team had fully unleashed their power.
"Charge with me!"
Under Gary's lead, the 'fish monster' warriors who boarded the Starden Castle were like an indestructible drill. They charged left and right in the middle of Shilius's battle formation and easily broke it into pieces.
Then, they were surrounded by the Faletis soldiers who followed behind the "fish monster" warriors, creating a situation where they outnumbered the enemy.
After all, even in Shilius's army, where the proportion of Probationary Knight was extremely high, it was unlikely that the proportion of Probationary Knight in the later stages would reach one in ten.
Therefore, the "fish monster" team under Gary's personal leadership achieved glorious results in a short period of time. Until …
They encountered a powerful Transcendent on Shilius's side: the captain of the ship, Colonel Stanley, who was a Grade 2 Senior Knight!
Amidst the chaotic crowd of people.
Hiss …
Stanley stealthily approached. The Swift Sword in his hand was like a dark venomous snake. It suddenly shot up from an unbelievable angle and pierced towards the small gap between Gary's helmet and breastplate that was left open for him to move.
Although there was also a special protective design here, and there was an inner layer of chain armor made of steel rings, Stanley believed that his swordsmanship was enough to pierce through Gary's neck.
At this time, Gary was still oblivious.
Blood was about to splatter on the spot.
Bang!
A black shadow whizzed toward Stanley.
However, at the critical moment, Elvin, who was observant, picked up a Shilius soldier beside him and threw him out like a cannonball.
Although such a large "hidden weapon" did not hurt Stanley, it did interrupt his inevitable sneak attack.
"Gary! Steady your steps, don't go too fast! "
After that, Elvin could not give him much support.
That was because the strongest person on this warship, the commander of the land forces and the commander of this fleet, Colonel Reynolds Bane, had found him.
In a war involving Extraordinaries, the experts on both sides would not rely on the senses of the strong to distinguish their opponents. This was because there was a more direct way, and that was … the other party's military uniform.
This was especially so for the combatant officers. Their military rank, position, and strength were directly linked. A person with a low military rank was not necessarily weak, but a person with a high military rank was definitely strong!
Besides, in the previous battle, Reynolds Ban was only three hundred meters away, which was enough for him to see clearly who was causing trouble on "Storm Horn".
"Hah, die!"
Clang!
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The two figures blurred at the same time.
The swift sword in their hands turned into a cold light as they exchanged blows several times like lightning. Their military boots stepped on the tough and thick deck of the third-level warship. Just by listening to the sound, one would think that two war elephants weighing several tons were charging.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
Even the sturdy hull of the third-level warship was letting out terrifying creaking sounds.
Wherever the two passed, the soldiers on both sides in the chaotic battle dodged. No one dared to stand in the battle circle of the two peak-level Knight.
If they were not careful, they would be minced into minced meat by the fierce sword wind.
Their basic data alone was already five times that of a normal person. Coupled with their swordsmanship skills and physical liberation, the two sides were almost no longer the same species.
After a slight test.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
To avoid accidentally injuring their own soldiers, the two commanders leaped quickly between the rigging and the sail yard.
Between the lightning-like movements, sparks flew everywhere.
After a few breaths.
They had already jumped onto the tall mast of the third-level warship. One of them stood on the left side of the main mast and the other on the right side of the sail yard. They faced each other from a distance of nearly sixty meters in the air.
Whoosh whoosh …
The bone-chilling winter wind blew, but their feet did not move at all. Their straight bodies swayed gently with the swaying of the mast.
Both of them were experts with outstanding eyesight. They knew very well that this was a direct manifestation of the body's balance reaching a certain height. Both of them were inclined towards the attribute of agility.
It was unrealistic to think that the other party would fall down by themselves.
Moreover, with their current physical fitness, even if they fell down, they would definitely not die.
Standing at the top of the mast, Reynolds Bane was clearly surprised by the level of Elvin's swordsmanship.
His gaze first rested on Elvin's overly young face for a while, then moved to the swift sword in his hand that seemed to only have a thin line of snowy light.
"You … also use the swift sword?"
