From the evening onwards, the scattered snowflakes in the sea area where the island was located gradually became denser, to the point that it was slowly evolving into a large-scale snowstorm.
In the middle of the night.
Woo woo woo — —
The wind from the Eternal White Continent formed an unstoppable cold wave, under the triple attack of nature's cold wind, snowstorm, and low temperature.
Other than the two warships on duty that were still floating on the surface of the sea, most of the guards in thin clothing had already retreated into their tents.
In this kind of weather, even the commanding officer of the base could not force the soldiers to continue patrolling despite the risk of frostbite. Only a few fixed watchtowers and cannon emplacements at key points had enough firewood to continue their duties.
Crackle crackle …
Beyond the crackling firewood of the bonfire, it was like another world that belonged to the forbidden zone of humans.
In the tent area near the inner part of the island.
As time passed, the snow gradually thickened, even the surface of the tents that were lit up inside had formed a thick layer of ice, the tents were connected together like piles of snow.
Crack!
A crack suddenly appeared in one of the piles of snow, and immediately, a cold wind whimpered and rushed in. As the half-asleep soldiers near the door cursed, a figure quickly crawled out.
"Tut tut tut … It's too cold!"
Not prepared to leave his warm bed, Private Makazi just came out of the tent and unbuckled his belt.
Drip drip drip — —
"Phew, after holding it in for half the night, I still can't hold it in anymore. If the temperature drops any further, maybe I'll need to bring a stick when I go to the toilet … "
After solving his physiological problem, Makazi shivered violently, suddenly noticing that the snowy night was a little too bright.
"Hmm? What's going on? "
He raised his head and saw a huge flame in the distance, the flame that slightly illuminated the sky was like a basin of cold water that suddenly extinguished the last trace of sleepiness in his eyes.
In just a short while, the orange-red flame mixed with a hint of green shot into the sky, and in the next second, he had already regained his senses, and shouted at the top of his lungs:
"Enemy attack — —!"
The sharp scream with a broken voice echoed in the camp, and even the howling snowstorm could not block it.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The neighboring tents were immediately thrown into chaos. The soldiers who were sleeping soundly had already instinctively jumped up one after another.
Under the leadership of the junior officers, they put on their clothes, disregarding the cold outside, or wrapped themselves in a piece of animal skin used for setting up tents. They grabbed their muskets and ran outside.
"Quick! Quick! Quick! "
As a world-class army, they still had this level of military discipline.
"Ah! That's our supply depot! "
By the time they rushed out, it was already a little late.
The warehouse closest to the port was already burning fiercely, with strange green flames mixed in. There were also two other warehouses that were on fire, and the fire was getting out of control.
While he was looking up, the warehouse at the edge of the dock was turned into a blazing torch by a dark-green flame bullet that looked like a cannonball bombardment.
In the flickering flames, several teams of unknown people in white cloaks had completed their mission and were rapidly advancing toward the periphery of the island.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
"Ahhh —"
They engaged in a fierce battle with the Shilius soldiers who had sensed the commotion. The sound of metal clashing, gunfire, and screams filled the air.
"Support them, don't let them escape! The rest of you, go put out the fire in the warehouse! "
However, while the support was still manageable, the fire reservoir near the warehouse had been completely destroyed.
Even if the freezing point of seawater was lower than that of fresh water, the sudden cold wave had already frozen them into ice. How could they put out the fire?
"The mission has been completed, don't tangle with the Shilius. According to the intelligence, there's at least one Great Knight here. We won't be able to leave if we're late!"
Under the leadership of two peak grade 2 captains, the troops from Atlan and Sark charged into the Shilius' encirclement without any regard for their losses.
They finally regrouped at the port, jumped onto the hidden longboats, and quickly slid to their respective warships.
At this moment, apart from the commandos who had come ashore, the artillery battle on the sea had also begun. After all, how could the patrol ships on the periphery not see such a huge commotion?
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Orange-red cannon flames illuminated the surface of the sea.
Earlier.
Due to the sudden snowstorm, the visibility was less than 500 meters even on the surface of the sea where the view was excellent. The two 'pirate ships' took advantage of the gap in the patrol of the Shilius warship and rushed to the shore closest to the warehouse at the fastest speed before splitting up to take action.
The howling wind helped them a lot. Even if they made a little noise, it did not attract the attention of the limited number of sentries.
Inside the firelight, looking at the darkness outside in the snowstorm, it was impossible to see far.
After taking care of the sentries and the guards in the warehouse, they used kerosene to ignite the warehouse in the mission. Although they lost a lot of men, they still completed their mission.
However.
Both sides soon realized that the agreed time limit had passed, but the last three, which were the largest warehouses, still did not have any fire.
Moreover, after the other four warehouses were on fire, the defense of the remaining warehouses would definitely be strengthened. When that time came, even a bird would not be able to get close, let alone a human!
“TMD！ This guy called White Knight is too unreliable. If the mission fails in the end, it's all his fault! "
Teamwork emphasized consistency. If a certain part of the team was rashly exposed, even if they completed a small goal, it would be useless for the whole team.
So this time, even though Sark and Atlan had assigned the toughest mission to Elvin, they did not think of cheating their teammate on this point.
If the mission failed because of deliberate mischief, none of them were the king's sons. Even if they completed the mission, they would be skinned alive by their superiors!
At most, they just wanted to reduce their losses on the premise that the mission was completed.
If Elvin adopted the same tactic as them, when the fire lit up at the same time, they would have to break through many obstacles to return to the shore. Even if they could retreat in the end, they would suffer heavy losses. This was also their initial plan.
"Forget about him. Let's get through the most difficult part of this mission first!"
After braving the gunfire and boarding their respective warships, both sides did not dare to delay for a moment and fled in panic. After all, there was not a single Tier 3 powerhouse in their team. They won completely by catching the enemy off guard.
"Damn it! Where do you think you're going?! "
Behind them, the base's commander, Great Knight Alcott, was in a rage. He was only wearing a thin white shirt and had already chased them to the shore.
His residence was in the center of the fan-shaped island. In normal weather, he could overlook the entire island and be the first to discover that something was wrong. He could provide support at any time. But tonight, he had given the arsonists a chance to escape.
Thud!
Without hesitation, he stepped on the water and jumped onto a patrol ship, quickly chasing after them.
Although they had two Tier 4 warships, and even if their firepower was far more robust than the patrol ship, who had ever seen a ship's cannon that could hit a Great Knight at sea with extremely limited accuracy and shooting angle?
Without the slightest intention of stopping and starting a naval battle, the two Blacksail Warships only wanted to escape!
However, watching as the patrol ship, which was relatively faster, closed the distance was not a solution.
On the Blacksail Warship belonging to Sark, Hayes stood on the aft deck, showing off his ability for the first time in front of his allies.
Mala!
A crazily spinning dark green flame gathered into a ball in his palm. Then, like a cannonball, it shot into the air, crossing a distance of hundreds of meters and pouncing on the patrol ship behind him.
[Spell: Flame Bullet Penetration!]
* Boom! *
On the bow of the ship, a lone sword with flowing Combat Aura suddenly appeared and extinguished the flame.
However, although the green flame bullet was sliced apart by the experienced Alcott's sword, the small sparks that burst out in the end still ignited part of the wood and the sails of the ship. The dark green flame attached to the surface of the combustible material and was difficult to extinguish.
While the crew was busy putting out the fire, Alcott and Hayes looked at each other from afar and said coldly:
"An Evil Fire Warlock?!"
.....
On the shore, the adjutant who watched the Alcott leave was not worried that this was a diversion tactic by the enemy. He quickly issued an order:
"Increase the security. Send a few teams to protect the rest of our warehouses!"
"Yes, sir!"
Beside him, a group of soldiers in ragged clothes and incomplete equipment ran into the depths of the island without caring about their poor equipment.
"As expected of the excellent soldiers of the kingdom even after experiencing a disastrous incident!"
The adjutant nodded slightly to express his approval of the soldiers from the La Plata Vice King's District. Then, he said to the herald beside him.
"Quick, get the Great Knight Daos to come and take command!"
A moment later, the Great Knight Daos, who was probably the only surviving member of the two expedition ships that landed on Potosi, was respectfully led into the command center by the soldiers.
However, he was not in good condition now.
"Cough cough …"
At the level of a Great Knight, a powerful Tier 3 Transcendent should have been immune to the cold and heat. However, at this moment, he was wearing a thick fur coat and wrapped tightly around himself. Even his military uniform was not exposed.
In the eyes of others, having a fur coat at this time was a symbol of status. However, only he knew that he was really afraid of the cold.
Back when the expedition ship first landed on Silver Island.
After fending off the first wave of Atlan's attack, he was besieged by the reinforcements from the two kingdoms. Even if his sword skills were superb, it was still beyond his ability to fight against two enemies at once.
After he was severely injured, he jumped into the sea and escaped with great difficulty. After that, he was alone in the cold sea for a few days. Although the Great Knight's body was comparable to a monster's body, the torment of this trip was really unbearable.
Moreover, for some reason, his originally insane self-healing ability had greatly weakened. He even contracted some kind of lung disease after that. Whenever he coughed, he would feel a piercing pain.
A Grand Knight, whose body was supposed to be made of steel, had turned into a sickly ghost at this moment!
Others thought that he had not recovered from his injuries and still had great confidence in him.
The adjutant was obviously one of them.
"No matter how injured the Great Knight is, he will not fall even if he dies. He is strong enough to suppress this island and not let anything happen … Hmm? What's going on? "
Before he could finish his sentence, a sticky red flame flashed in the direction of the last three warehouses on the island. The night sky that was still covered in snow was dyed scarlet red!
Kaboom —
With a loud bang, one of the ammunition warehouses exploded!
Thump!
His heart skipped a beat. Thinking of the consequences of losing the last three warehouses, the adjutant's face was completely distorted with fear.
"Hahahahaha …"
"Hahahahaha …"
Suddenly, waves of laughter rang out in the command center.
The adjutant was instantly enraged. 'How can you still laugh at a time like this?!'
However, it was just a matter of time.
"What … What's going on? Why am I also … Hahahahaha …"
Looking around, everyone in the command center was laughing. Even … Great Knight Darius was no exception!
It was not just the command center. Half of the island had fallen into the laughter …
