It was already 1: 23 in the afternoon.
After several hours of fierce battle with cannonballs flying everywhere, both sides had suffered casualties and damage to their ships, but they were still far from being able to hold on and retreat from the battlefield.
Without the intervention of supernatural powers, it was normal for such a head-on clash of cannons of large legions to last a few days or even a dozen days. If they were to engage in guerilla warfare, it might even drag on for months.
Whoosh!
Two Fourth-level warships belonging to both sides swept past the left side of the Alliance's battle line, one in front and one behind. Storm Horn was in front, and his old rival, Long-Snouted Shark, was behind.
"Are the soldiers of the Tulip Family all cowards? How long are you going to run? "
After confirming that he was not within the range of the cannons on the port side of the battle line, Marz could not help but mock Storm Horn. They kept wandering around the battlefield, but they did not engage him in battle.
"Marz, since you are in such a hurry to reincarnate, then … as you wish!"
Seeing that his two warships had reached the center of the battle line, and that neither side would be able to leave this range in a short period of time, Elvin's lips curled into a cold smile as he issued an order in the mental network.
"Activate!"
Hum!
A column of thirty battleships emitted an almost undetectable buzzing sound at the same time. Under the cover of the rumbling cannons, others would not be able to detect it. In fact, even if they did, it would be too late.
The huge shadow of a fish underwater, which was not inferior to a large warship in size and moving at high speed, suddenly seemed to have been hit by an invisible hammer. Its brain and body cavity were turned upside down.
Every cell in its body was injured at the same time. Its eyes were bloodshot, and its internal organs were ruptured. It instantly lost the ability to resist.
The power of the infrasonic waves emitted by an entire fleet was something that even a large species with many spell-like abilities could not resist.
Long-Snouted Shark, which was following behind Storm Horn, lost the spell-like enhancement of the sea monster and immediately began to lose speed, returning to an ordinary Fourth-level warship.
Elvin knew very well that at his age, every time he was promoted, he would almost break the kingdom's record. He had to have irrefutable achievements, otherwise, no matter how good his personal relationship with the crown prince was, he would not be able to convince the public.
He glanced at Olivia beside him.
"Well, after all, a brigadier general and a future marquess is still a little low …"
"Pipi!"
The moment the Song of the Siren was closed.
From the bottom of the ocean far away where the "Song of Sirens" could not reach, a narrow shadow whose head and tail were thirty-two meters long twisted its body that was as tough as iron and dashed close at the highest speed of 112 kilometers per hour.
Whoosh!
It was like a sharp arrow flying at the bottom of the sea, covering hundreds of meters in a breath. At this time, a long steel horn had appeared on the top of the "Bramble Crown Sea Snake's" head, which complemented the steel scales on its body.
Elvin wasn't just sitting around doing nothing for the past few days. All this time, he had been considering how to maximize the resources at his disposal and deal a heavy blow to Shilius.
The surprise attack with the Song of the Siren and the Bramble Crown Sea Snake, which had not been exposed yet, was part of the plan. This ram made of "Lightning Shaping" and "Activating Spiritual Light" was also a part of it.
Very soon, with the steel horn on her head, Pipi dashed up from the seabed and charged at the belly of the Long-Snouted Silver Shark from bottom to top.
A huge amount of blood dyed the sea red.
Wu —
When the wail of the Long-Snouted Silver Shark reached Major-General Marz's heart, before he could figure out what was going on in the water …
The Storm Horn had already turned around and activated [Ability: Unicorn]. It also crashed into the side of the Long-Snouted Shark with a ram made of tornadoes and torrents.
Boom!!!
Wood chips were flying, and blood was splashing everywhere.
The Long-Snouted Shark, which was essentially a regular level-four warship, was no better than a regular battleship even though it was taller and bigger than the Storm Horn. After losing the protection of the Transcendent power of the sea monster, it was no better than a regular battleship.
In the next moment …
"Invincible!"
After a roar, hundreds of fish monster warriors had already drawn their longswords and lunged at the Long-Snouted Shark under the lead of Gary, who had turned into a "Rhinoceros Shark".
The Storm Horn, with the [White Shark Halo], was truly invincible in melee combat on this battlefield.
Faced with hundreds of trainee Knight knights who were at the peak of Rank-1, the soldiers of Shilius on the warship were no better than straws.
Clang!
"From today onwards, there will be no more Quasi-Legendary Long-Snouted Sharks!"
Elvin did not fall behind at all. The majestic airflow from the collision made his cloak flutter high. Through the sparks flying from the collision of swords, he looked at Marzain's eyes that were instantly smashed into the dust and declared.
He hurriedly exchanged a few blows with Elvin.
This great Knight Marzain saw that the situation was hopeless and could no longer care about his crew. He unleashed his combat power to the limit and fled alone on the surface of the sea. His target was the Red Maple, which was confronting the Northern Cold Wind on the other side of the battlefield.
Elvin was not ready to give up this opportunity to eliminate the source of the problem. After Boris, who had turned into a "Great White Shark", commanded the battle, he quickly chased after him.
.....
The outcome had been decided in a flash. The sudden change in the situation of the Quasi-Legendary battle that was out of everyone's expectations made the commanders of the Shilius unable to sit still.
"Let's show our trump card in advance!"
On the third-level ship that temporarily took over the command of Ricard, the deputy commander of the fleet took out a bluestone urn with a strong indigenous style of the New World and placed it on the deck. Half of it was filled with seawater.
"Gurgle …" The seawater immediately began to boil, and white steam rose in spirals.
It was as if endless rain clouds had appeared out of thin air, piling up thicker and thicker in the sky above the alliance fleet. On the other hand, the sky on Shilius' side was still clear.
Just a few minutes later.
Whoosh …
The cold rain was already pouring down.
[Secret Treasure of the Sea: Chuck Stone Urn]
Effect: A secret treasure of the sea found in the Kumar Empire, one of the three great primitive empires of the New World. Its name comes from Chuck, the God of Rain. It can summon rain anytime and anywhere within sight. The range and intensity can be independently limited (with an upper limit).
At this moment, under the control of the Shilius people, this thick rain cloud only shrouded the top of the alliance's battle line. There were two worlds inside and outside the cloud.
At first, the rain was not heavy. The warships opened their rain shields in time, and the cannons on the open deck could still fire normally. But soon, it turned into a downpour. All the small-caliber cannons on the open deck were out of action, not to mention the Kentucky sharpshooters.
Then, the rain intensified. It was as if a hole had been pierced through the sky. Their field of vision was a vast expanse of white. Even the firing of the cannons on the lower deck was severely affected.
The alliance was already at an absolute disadvantage in terms of the total number of cannons, and this made things worse.
The battle losses were rising rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The captains of the Tulip Family ships were cursing under the heavy rain and cannon fire. This secret treasure of the sea was simply a strategic meteorological weapon. With it, not to mention the already weak battle line, even opponents of the same level could be defeated.
At the same time as the heavy rain fell.
Elvin pursued Marz all the way and had already arrived at the battlefield that belonged to the Northern Cold Wind and the Red Maple. The two third-level warships each jumped onto their own commander's warship.
"Not bad!"
The commander-in-chief of the alliance, Lieutenant General Elvis, praised Elvin's battle results with his eyes. At this time, he was fully focused on the mental network.
Although the quasi-legendary warship had obtained a decisive advantage, it was not enough to reverse the defeat on the conventional battlefield.
To be on the safe side, he was ready to issue an order to temporarily withdraw the battle line that was more flexible than the Shilius. Although he had not seen the secret treasure before, he did not believe that the rain clouds could chase him to the ends of the earth.
In addition, the magical "secret treasure of the sea" was, of course, a special reserve of each family, but the abilities of this treasure were varied. Some were comparable to the authority of the gods, while others only had the ability to purify fresh water, forecast the weather, summon fish, shield perception, and so on. This kind of auxiliary secret treasure of the sea was actually the majority.
At least, the fleet did not have a secret treasure of the level of a meteorological weapon.
He waved at Elvin.
"General Garriott, prepare to retreat for the time being. After today, we still have a chance. "
At this time, there was one more reason to need battle achievements. Elvin was full of enthusiasm. Seeing Lieutenant General Elvis's plan, he volunteered.
"Sir Commander, it's too early to decide the outcome. Who isn't a cheat?
Milan, activate the [Silver Mist Lamp] according to the plan! "
The first sentence was an answer to Lieutenant General Elvis, but the next sentence was said to Milan, who was wearing the "Venom" and had wiped out the crew of the Long-Snouted Shark with the crew.
[Secret Treasure of the Sea — Silver Mist Lamp]
Effect: Ignores the original weather, and for one minute, creates a thick fog that can only be seen by the holder of the lamp and no more than three of his companions. The thick fog can interfere with the enemy's sense of direction. Even the use of a compass or directional witchcraft is useless.
Whoosh!
Soon, the effect of the Silver Mist Lamp had covered the [Stone Urn of Chakra], and the fog swept out and filled the entire battlefield. Although it did not affect the combat power of the Shilius's side, it completely deprived them of their vision.
As the holder of the lamp, Milan designated the deputy commander and the most experienced fire control officer who were still in the battle line to be able to see. Through the telepathic connection, they shared their vision with the officers.
Because both sides were using a tight formation, the distance between each warship and the enemy was about the same.
When operating the cannons, they could use the same firing parameters, adjust the angle of fire, and let the most experienced fire control officer command the cannons to operate the cannons.
It might be even better than when the fire control officers of the various warships were doing their own thing.
Out of the three, the last slot was given to Olivia, the sniper who had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
As the thick fog dispersed.
The muzzle of the [Extraordinary Electromagnetic Cannon 1.0] was already flashing with electricity. Apart from the crew of the Storm Horn, no one could see what was happening here.
"Ready!"
Elvin shook the captain's cloak behind him. His high spirits made the commander beside him feel a little dazzled.
His voice, full of infinite confidence, echoed on the ship.
"Today, we will let the Shilius know that the Invincible Fleet is not invincible, just like the Holy Lothar Empire is neither holy nor Lothar, nor an empire!"
