"Boom! Boom! "Laing and the others were still discussing what to do next on the bridge when the sound of cannon fire and hurried footsteps in the distance indicated an enemy attack.
Juan, Baron of Biokary, rushed in from outside. "Your Majesty, a large number of enemies have been discovered! A large number of undead ships have appeared in the northwest! The high elves have signaled us with flag signals, indicating that we should prepare for battle immediately! "
"Good, prepare for battle immediately. Order all ships to open the cannons and prepare for battle!" Laing ordered decisively. "Order the Landuin to approach the ironclad and fight together. Don't fall behind."
"Yes!" Many panicked figures suddenly appeared on the deck. Soldiers and sailors ran back and forth, preparing for battle. Even though they had rehearsed many times, this was still the first real naval battle.
"Brother, do you want to return to the Saint Sophia?" Laing asked Forgen as he hurriedly put on his equipment.
"No, we will stay here and face the enemy." Forgen was very calm. "I believe that they will take care of things well."
"Very well." Laing did not intend to say much.
With the king's order, the entire Enterprise became busy. This giant steel monster began its work. The Old Guard and sailors ran on the deck, while the dwarves ordered everyone to guard their posts and immediately move the cannons.
Little Sol Grimm Ironhammer carried an axe shield on his back and a dwarven double-barreled rune shotgun in his hand. He ordered the mustaches under his command to get into position and prepare for battle. Then he took out a monocular from his bosom.
Behind Little Sol Grimm were huge cannons that were adjusting their positions. The loud noise of steam boilers and the sound of waves hitting the steel hull could be heard.
"Twelve enemy ships, but none of them can compare to our Enterprise or the Saint Sophia." Little Sol Grimm immediately judged the situation and said to himself, "The problem is that the enemy seems to be equipped with better cannons. The pointy ears' ballistas don't have such a long range."
"And our triple-headed cannons are enough to destroy these broken things that are forcefully put together with bones and ship wreckage using necromancy magic!" Little Sol Green said with absolute certainty, "Come."
"What's the situation, Your Highness Sol Green?" At this time, Laing had changed into a full set of equipment. He quickly walked to the side of the ship and saw Little Sol standing in the corridor of the bridge, looking into the distance through the railing.
"The undead fleet is attacking us from two directions. Their broken ships and cannons taken from the sunken ships can't damage our ironclad warships." "Tell your men, Your Majesty Leon, the wind is in our favor. Prepare to engage in boarding and jumping battles. In terms of cannons, those skeletons can't compare to our cannons. This is the only way they can defeat us," the man with the mustache said with absolute certainty.
"I can't wait for the boarding battle and the gang jumping battle." Laing reached out and grabbed the railing. "It seems that the situation on the sea is already very bad."
"Look, His Majesty Laing." Little Sol Green handed the binoculars to Laing, but Laing waved his hand to indicate that there was no need. He was a geno prototype. How could he not see things in the distance?
But it was true that it was useless for Laing to see things in the distance by himself. This was also why he had to take the small bearded men with him on the ironclad warships. The small bearded men knew how to operate the equipment on the ironclad warships and how to fix faults. The sailors and engineers of Brittany were far inferior.
"Tegris and the others seem to be in trouble."
Just as Little Sol Green had expected, the phoenix ship of the high elves was in trouble.
The original strength of the High Precision Ship was its extreme speed and powerful ability to board. The High Precision Ship could make an unbelievably fast turn in a naval battle, and when the two sides were close, it could rely on its powerful mid-range firepower (ballistas, bows and arrows) and the escort of the Giant Dragon to quickly end the battle.
However, the most serious problem facing the high elves was that they did not have a dragon in their fleet. For the time being, they could only use phoenixes.
Without a dragon, they did not have excellent scouting and long-range firepower. Without a dragon, they did not have the ability to escort the ship. At this time, the problem of the high elves' lack of long-range firepower exploded.
"Whoosh!" Cannons flew over from afar and blasted into the body of the giant phoenix ship. The undead fleet's cannons blasted holes in the wooden hull of the ship. The elven soldiers and sailors who were walking back and forth swayed left and right as they were blasted back and forth.
"Speed up and get close to the enemy ship. Steady! The wind is in our favor!" Tegris calmly commanded the Lothern Sea Guards and the entire team of sword saints on the ship. At the same time, he immediately began to chant a spell. A beautiful light wall surrounded the ship.
The cannons continued to bombard the ship, but the ghost pirates were unable to do anything to the high elves' ship for the time being.
Shadows spread, dark clouds gathered, and the power of death magic filled the entire sea.
"Disperse!" Tegris gripped the Lilith's Staff tightly. The terrifying power of the staff turned into the light of hope and dreams. The thick fog of death magic was dispelled, and the leading ghost ship gradually approached. The pale body of the ship had been washed away, leaving only the cabin and the sails. The skull at the bow of the ship was enough to make one's scalp tingle.
"Shadow Wraith!" the elves cried out. "It's Shadow Wraith!"
Several ghost pirates and ghost sailors appeared on the ghost warship. They emerged from the shadows.
"Ready! Fire! " The undead warship finally came within the firing range of the elven warship. They fired their crossbows, and more than a dozen crossbows on the phoenix warship opened fire at the same time. Hundreds of eagle claw crossbow bolts more than 1.5 meters long flew into the air and blasted toward the undead warship. The dense rain of bolts bombarded the surface of the ghost warship, and the undead scum fell in droves after being hit by the bolts. In just two rounds of volleys, the entire ghost warship quickly turned into a hedgehog.
"Not enough!" Teglis said with certainty. The other three ghoul warships also sailed towards the high elves' giant ship. They were in a triangle formation, firing from the rear of the ghoul warship. Hundreds of bat hoppers flew into the sky, and the ghoul sailors on them released their instinctive roars and the lingering desire and fear of the sea when they were alive, approaching the high elves' ship.
"Laing and the others haven't arrived yet?" Tegris released a chain of lightning to burn dozens of ghost pirates. The tall mage also asked anxiously, "There are many enemies. We can't deal with so many attacks!"
"They're almost here!" Horus Magic Swordsman Zoltan waved his two-handed sword and blocked the flying bullets. He shouted, "Two minutes!"
The iron armored ships were not as fast as the high elves' ships. Out of pride, the high elves had deliberately distanced themselves from the fleet behind.
"Very good! Prepare for boarding battle! " Tegris's expression did not change. He stabbed his staff hard into the deck, and two vortexes of light magic emitted hot white flames, burning the first batch of ghost pirates who tried to board the high elves' ship to ashes. The tall mage calmly took out two bottles of potions and drank them. He then pulled out the Sword of Tegris from his waist. "Fight, Azul! For Lilith, for the Phoenix King's Court, for Ossouin! "
"For Ossouin!" The Lothln Sea Guards and the High Elves formed a tight formation. Wave after wave of arrows rained down from the sky. The High Elves demonstrated their strength with their superb archery skills, while the Undead Pirates retaliated with sporadic muskets.
Although Tigris' magic did not completely eliminate all the Undead Pirates, his magic bought time for the High Elves. When a few Undead Pirates boarded the deck of the Phoenix Warship, the High Elves were already on standby. The two sides fought directly on the deck. The Lothlans lined up in two rows and pierced the bodies of the Undead Pirates with their spears. The Sword Saints of Hous swung their greatswords and chopped the Undead Pirates into pieces, which reeked of fish and seawater.
Tegris personally swung his sword and chopped two ghost pirates into pieces. The tall mage suddenly felt a pain in his temple. He looked up and saw two ghost pirate archers raising their long-barreled muskets at him. The tall mage immediately cast a fireball spell and blew the two ghost pirate archers into a cloud of smoking ashes.
Tegris immediately began to chant a new spell.
"Casadora's Comet!" From the highest point in the sky, a comet was pulled into the battlefield. Under Tegris's guidance, the comet, which was more than ten meters in diameter, smashed into the center of one of the ghost battleships, breaking the mast and the hull, and severely damaging the ghost ship.
However, when Tigris looked up, he saw as many as twelve Undead Pirates were preparing to board the ship. Apart from that, the situation on the battlefield made the Mage feel fear. The three Undead Battleships had completely closed in. More than a dozen Undead Pirates were lined up neatly on the ships, waiting to board the ships. Apart from that, there was also a large group of Giant Walking Corpses, Corrupted Magical Crabs, and Zombie Demons approaching!
Other than the broken ghost battleship that had stopped approaching after a certain distance, there were still ten ghost battleships slowly approaching.
"Damn it, Laing and the others …" The tall mage was about to continue asking when the sound of cannons finally came from the distance.
Boom, boom, boom, boom! The dwarves' twin and triple-mounted obsidian cannons roared, and two of the five bullets hit the hull of the ghost battleships. One of the ghost battleships had a large hole in the cabin and directly exploded. Seawater poured into the cabin, and the ghost battleship was about to sink. The other ghost battleship's deck was hit, and the broken shrapnel sent more than a hundred ghost pirates waiting on the deck flying. At the same time, the ghost captain was also blown away.
Two ironclads and two galleys approached from the rear.
"Quickly pick up your weapons and deal with them, you idiots!" On the Saint Sophia, in front of the Sea Gate, the dwarf engineer Jarek Grimm held a long-barreled gun in his hand and shouted at the soldiers of the Ashes Corps, "Aim for the heads! Or aim for the flying bloodthirsty bats! "
The musketeers gathered and fired a barrage of bullets. The ghost pirates fell into the water or were shot into sieves.
"Fire the torpedoes!" On the Enterprise, Little Sol Green also shouted, "Now, fire all of them. I declare that you can fire without limit!"
"Lightning strike!" Laing also gave the order.
Six torpedoes were fired at the same time. The ghost battleship closest to the Enterprise was hit. After a few splashes, black smoke rose from the front of the ghost battleship and its forward momentum came to a halt.
The sound of cannons and muskets rained down on the deck and the hull of the ironclad warships, but the ironclad warships made of meteorite and obsidian were not affected by such weak attacks. "Commander, our cannons can't penetrate the armour of the ironclad warships!" Waghurst, the captain of the ghost ship and the loyal servant of Count Noktras, received a report from his subordinates. "Commander, our cannons can't penetrate the armour of the ironclad warships!"
"Close the distance and jump!" Waghurst was an undead. His whole body reeked of the stench of fish. His story had been passed down in the old world for hundreds of years. He was a cursed former Empire privateer captain. He had once made the highest oath in front of the Mannen Shrine in Marienburg, but now he had become an undead who could not rest in peace. No god would redeem his soul. His story was very long, and to prevent people from spreading rumors, he would not go into detail here. In short, he had become the most loyal servant of Count Noktelas.
Waghurst immediately ordered his troops to get ready for boarding and boarding. The three giant ghoul warships suddenly moved at an incredible speed and lined up in a column, closing in on the two sides of the ironclad Enterprise. Several legions of ghoul pirate sailors and ghoul pirate musketeers were spewing stinky seawater. They were ready with hooks and ropes, ready for a close-range fight.
Amidst the barrage of cannons and bullets, the flames of war soared into the sky above the ocean. The cannons of the ironclad warships and the galleons continued to fire. The glaring flames and the strange light formed by the magical energy illuminated the entire sky. Ships were constantly being hit. Three of the undead ships had already sunk, and one was severely damaged. The Phoenix Warship and the galleon Landuin of the joint elven and human fleet were also riddled with holes.
The captain of the ghost pirates, Rogue-Sharkfin, commanded the ghost pirates to get ready to board the ironclads. He imagined that today's battle would add many new recruits to his fleet. However, it turned out that the enemy this time was different from anyone else. The human soldiers wearing half-body plate armor and bearskin hats were no pushovers. They repelled every desperate attack of the ghost pirates. The zombies and giant beasts that could cause fear were quickly killed by the concentrated fire of the muskets.
At the same time, an even greater danger arrived. A white light flashed, and a figure riding a gigantic griffin descended from the sky. It was the Griffin Impris. The ferocious and wild griffin spread its wings and swept dozens of undead pirates off the deck. A figure covered in lightning and platinum flames rode on top of the griffin. He had only summoned a lightning bolt, but it was enough to blast Shark Fin half to pieces. The captain of the undead pirates tried to use his musket to fight back, but the enemy was faster than lightning. Leon easily dodged the lead bullets with a flash and smashed Mjolnir with Thor's Hammer.
Rogue-Sharkfin, the captain of the ghost pirates, who had been running rampant in the vast ocean for more than two hundred years, was purified forever.
All the ghost pirates and sailors nearby fired their muskets, but Laing's Psionic Shield and Psionic Deflection were not affected at all. All the bullets were either deflected or blocked by the Psionic Shield. The Knight King was like a walking lightning bolt, cutting down groups of enemies who dared to fight at close range.
"Forward, Old Guard, for Brittany, for Laing Macado!" The ships collided, and the Old Guard boarded the deck of the ghost warship. Davu and Raymond charged at the front. The ghost pirates who rushed up to fight were pierced by the halberd one after another and cut in half by the greatsword.
If the ghost pirates hoped to solve the battle by jumping and boarding, it was undoubtedly a very shameful mistake. Gray Knight Geno Source personally led a team of Old Guard to fight back. A ghost warship was quickly slaughtered and sunk. On the other side, the King's Son Geno Source, Fu Gen, and his phoenix guards used hooks and ropes to complete the jump. The moment these powerful warriors boarded the ghost warship's deck, they dealt a devastating blow to the ghost scum. Except for the Deep Sea Guards who could barely resist, no other ghost pirates could deal with these enemies. Fu Gen's figure was a purple phantom. Wherever he passed, all the ghosts were cut neatly into pieces. His purple full-body armor and cape, as well as his soft silver hair, were not stained with any dirt, still exuding a wonderful fragrance.
Soon, three more ghost warships sank.
At this time, a moving voice suddenly sounded in the distance. It was a strong soprano voice. The voice sounded very moving, but in the flawless voice, there was endless viciousness and resentment toward the living.
Hearing this soprano voice, the faces of the Brittany knights and nobles, such as Suria and Julius, changed dramatically.
"This is Baldero's voice!"
"Impossible. Didn't she die in a shipwreck?"
