. "...Rod, a waste who only knows how to eat Haisai, was killed by the other party so quickly... Things seemed to be very tricky!"

Sleeping in the air more than 200 feet from the sea level, through the Hawkeye technique imposed on himself, the pale lord Sam saw the miserable death of his spirit-sucking monster partner very clearly - he was chopped by a group of ferocious Japanese boys with random knives, carefully tidied up a pile of fresh flower branches and sashimi, and then put it in a wooden basin filled with coarse salt... Next, will it be made into fragrant grilled octopus balls, or will it be dipped in soy sauce and mustard to drink?

No matter which ended, Sam felt a burst of extremely violent twitching in his stomach - it was not mainly because of the tragic ending of the spirit-sucking monster partner, but because he felt disgusting deeply into his bones when someone could eat such a thing... A strange "ingredient" like the slice of fresh spirit-sucking monster is probably only Japanese people who are famous for their perversion can eat it.

In order to get rid of this feeling of overwhelming vomiting as soon as possible, he almost unconsciously responded to attack and threw a bone spear far away in that direction... and naturally he failed to hit it.

What's worse is that due to the magic fluctuations caused by the attack spell, Sam's invisible means that he had been maintaining on himself also lost its effect and was found by the detective mage on the enemy ship. Then, a series of magic bullets rushed over quickly, smashing several magic shields he had set up in a hurry to pieces. The several light anti-aircraft cannons arranged on the deck of the enemy ship also shook their guns up against the commander's whistle, and they were about to spit out flames at Sam, who was about to reveal his position.

Despite this, Sam had no intention of retreating at all. He still stubbornly followed the butt of Xiangrui, and just summoned some gargoyles with flying abilities to attack them to disperse the enemy's anti-aircraft firepower. As for the remaining small number of stray bullets... As a pale lord transformed from a level 16 necromancer, his defensive magic and exoskeleton could hold on in a short period of time.

Moreover, from the beginning, Sam was not so arrogant that he believed that as long as two pale lords came out together, such a huge magic warship could be easily solved - in fact, the real main combat force of the Dragon Witch Cult had already set up a trap in front of the Xiangrui...

"Welcome to hell here! The unfortunate Neserier people."

Sam smiled coldly and shot out a light green beam, dissociating a combat mage who was rushing towards him into countless particles. At the same time, a defensive barrier with flashing golden light was raised, barely blocking a rocket with white smoke coming from behind his butt.

Then, the main force of naval battle he was looking forward to finally appeared on the sea level in this area.

....................................................................................

"Alarm, alarm! An unknown fleet appeared in front of me! Oh my God, that's... that's a team of skeleton ships! The legendary undead pirates are here!"

When he heard the terrifying calls from the mast, Feili, who was commanding the air defense operations, was stunned and speechless for a moment.

"...God, are you trying to play with me today? First, for some reason, an octopus head that should have been hiding underground to suck brains, and then a ghost fleet actually came out during the day... Oh, despair, completely despairing about this tragic world!"

While rolling his eyes and carefully debugging his monocular lens, he started to chat with resentment. In the middle of the telescope's vision, under the bright afternoon sun in the tropical sea area, a large number of ominous black shadows were suddenly in sight.

One, two, three, four... Almost without warning, ten huge whirlpools of rough waves suddenly appeared on the calm blue sea. Then, from the center of each vortex, a few masts with rigging and canvas appeared, and behind them, there were sterns, decks and ships. In the end, ten three-masted sailboats with dark tones and gloomy appearances completely surfaced from the vortex. On the surface of each ship, adhered shells and seaweeds can be found everywhere, and most of the sails have decayed. At the top of the main mast of the sailboat, a black skull flag that was quite popular among pirates was fluttering in the wind.

What's even more terrifying is that on these broken boats that seemed to be stuffed into the garbage dump, the ones who were running back and forth, climbing and jumping up and down were not ordinary seamen, but white skeletons, hideous gargoyles, rotten and dirty zombies, undead mages wrapped in black robes, and many other weird things that made people uncomfortable at first sight. In the land direction behind the Xiangrui, two small black dots were vaguely coming. With the help of a telescope attached to Hawkeye, Feili could tell that they were two dark bone dragons.

"...Ten undead ships appeared in front of the starboard side, lined up in a column, and are expected to cross with us in fifteen minutes!"

The Xiangrui lookout officer reported with some teeth trembling, "...it will be able to enter the main gun range in five minutes. Do you need to fire first?"

"Yes, Vahiri. I order you to shoot white phosphorus incendiary bombs at the enemy fleet ahead immediately!" Feili tried to calmly connect the magic soundtrack and shouted at his artillery commander, "Let all those disgusting things turn into fireworks and torches!"

"This order cannot be executed at all. Sir, our incendiary bombs have been used up in the bombardment of the other side just now!"

Through the brass-edged magic soundtrack, the old dwarf's hoarse complaints came quietly, "...The flowering bullets of the main killers and the chain bullets used to destroy the mast rigging are also very few. Even the most ordinary solid bullets are only enough to shoot three or four rounds!"

"... Then hit me!" Feili pressed the brutal blue veins on her forehead, switched the magic soundtrack to a delivery position, and roared with gritted teeth, "Renee, right rudder 20 degrees, add to the highest voyage, and rush towards their side! I don't believe that a giant ship with a height of more than 10,000 tons will not overturn a small boat of hundreds of tons!"

Indeed, for a towering giant ship like Xiangrui, even if it is not equipped with any artillery and long-range weapons, just running at full power is enough to make any wooden sailboat in this world lose its soul - those smaller sailboats can be directly sunk; even if they are slightly larger, they will definitely not withstand the sharp attack with huge kinetic energy.

Moreover, facing the freeboard of the Xiangrui at least five or six floors above sea level, it is almost impossible to engage in a boarding battle. Unless the naval teams responsible for jumping gangs can fly, or are proficient in the wall-passing techniques of Japanese ninjas, it is no different from climbing a city wall with empty hands.

So, after a few sharp impact warnings, Xiangrui adjusted the output power of the Miser energy core to the limit, stirring up countless scattered white waves, and rushed towards the enemy fleet with great confidence.

However, the opponent's undead fleet did not leave any chance of direct impact for the Xiangrui, and even the artillery battle was not launched at all. After releasing a large group of gargoyles and several small airships at the fastest level, these gloomy and terrifying undead fleets were like when they appeared just now, accompanied by a series of huge vortexes, quickly disappeared under the sea level. The Xiangrui, which was rushing towards the fierce battle, was helplessly passing over their heads and pounced on for a moment.

Next, there was endless bombing and harassment - more than 5,000 gargoyles were condescending, densely packed the entire sky. The necromancers who manipulated them rode on the airship and directed these low-level cannon fodders to dive in waves and repeatedly attack the Xiangrui. Feili also ordered that in addition to the sailors and non-combatants who had to be on duty, more than 2,000 people in the army would be dispatched collectively, set up formations on the spacious deck, and used anti-aircraft cannons, rockets, rifles and even bows to form a firepower net to try to stop the enemy's bombing.

In fact, although the gargoyles have the head of a demon, the wings of a bat, the dark body as a rock, and have the ability to fly short distances, they are not a powerful soldier that is difficult to deal with for the soldiers of this era. Because this monster has extremely low intelligence and does not have the minimum rationality at all. They only know how to use their own minions to attack other creatures randomly, and cannot use any weapons. Even if a magician is manipulating it from a distance, at most they can prevent them from slapping back on their own people.

What's worse is that gargoyles have a limitation on their use time. Generally speaking, as long as they keep running for about half an hour, they will return to ordinary stone statues due to their exhaustion of magic - and this time is often not enough for them to rush from the assembly ground to the battlefield - even when they can operate normally, gargoyles can only easily break with an axe, cut off with a big sword, and use cannons to flatten the broken things, especially fearing magic attacks. Even with the half-baked ability of Feili, there will be no big problem to deal with dozens of gargoyles alone.

However, this time, the undead fleet that released the gargoyles clearly created a rather effective new tactic.

They tied explosive packs on each gargoyle, then lit the fuse in batches, and put them down one after another. Most of them were naturally blown up by the counterattack firepower of Xiangrui. However, the part that escaped the net was directly stuck on the deck and exploded, turning into countless pieces of fine and sharp stones, sweeping like a bloody storm, knocking down the people gathered on the deck in pieces... The sky around Xiangrui was covered with gargoyles, and it seemed that they would hit any direction, but they still could not completely block the vast space. It was like a ferocious bison fighting with the bee swarm. No matter how hard it roared, ran, or bumped, it was still difficult to avoid the fierce bites of the wasps.

In order to fight against this one-sided massacre, Feili had to move out of bulky and outdated tower shields and chain mails and arrange for the soldiers to wear them. At the same time, in the plan to capture the thief first, he also ordered the broomflight team on the ship and the old black dragon Sherlock Holmes to take off immediately to attack the airships carrying the undead mages... but it was still a step late. Seeing the approaching of the magician Naserel, these undead mages decisively dropped the airships and escaped directly with the portal - the aerial counterattack organized by the Xiangrui was also empty.

Even the remaining gargoyles in the sky did not fall to the bottom of the sea because of the time limit. Instead, under the guidance of two skull dragons, they flew slowly back to the port of Tongbes. Feili tried to force the airship to seek rescue and land, thus forcing the undead fleet out of the seabed, and completely miscarried. The only result was that he had only killed a few empty simple versions of small airships.

However, no matter what, the air strike finally came to an end... Feili wiped the sweat from her forehead with her sleeves and began to patrol the losses on the warships. Due to the attack of a large number of gargoyle suicide bombs, the originally smooth and tidy teak deck was now filled with potholes, with corpse pillows, and the irritating smell of burnt and blood poured into his nostrils, making him sneeze.

However, Feili pinched her nose and rubbed her as soon as she was hit by the violent vibration from her feet.

Rumble~~~

The disaster never came alone. Before Feili could breathe a sigh of relief for the end of the air strike, a series of earth-shaking and dull explosions came from the water. The huge shock wave immediately rushed, throwing the warship high onto the top of the waves, and then falling heavily. The clear sea water with white foam formed a series of water curtains hundreds of feet high around the hull, and then poured down with a rush, almost completely submerging the warship. Many unlucky crew members who failed to fix their bodies in time rushed into the sea by this sudden flood.

Even the Xiangrui itself seemed to have eaten a heavy punch from a giant. Each board was trembling and creaking, and from time to time, there were bursts of bangs and bursts. It was entirely based on the extremely tough dragon skin shell and the internal bracket made of real keels that barely escaped the tragedy of disintegration on the spot, but there were still twists and deformations in many places, and more than one-third of the superstructures broke and collapsed.

What's going on?

With the above questions in mind, Feili, who was poured into a chicken with a splash of water, grabbed a railing with difficulty and looked out of the boat's side. As a result, he saw countless broken wooden components attached to shells and seaweed slowly floating up from the violently tumbling seawater. The shape and color seemed familiar. He had just watched it dozens of minutes ago. It turned out that the team of damn undead ships did not retreat and hide after drilling into the vortex and diving into the water. Instead, they quietly ambushed in front of the Xiangrui, and when the target finally reached the effective destruction range, they moved a collective self-destruction with amazing power...

"My God, has the Dragon Witch Sect specially sent people to break the crystal wall system and go to somewhere on the earth to study and further study? They even made things like suicide submarines, kamikaze death squads and shuttle bombing..."

Faced with this situation, Feili couldn't help but roll her eyes and sighed, murmured and complained.

What he didn't know was that the above seemingly absurd and dazed words were actually very close to the facts.

So far, the Xiangrui has lived up to its reputation as auspicious, successfully breaking through a series of terrible killing moves that are enough to ruin a fleet, and at the same time it has also lost a lot of its crew members.

However, greater disasters, or more terrifying auspiciousness, are still waiting behind.

"Renie, how did you rudder? When did we turn around and drive back?"

"Dear, this is not my fault at all! It was because of the undersea explosion just now that the warship had a full rotation of 180 degrees in mid-air. Now it is naturally returning to the direction of Tongbes Port!"

"This is really a hell... Hit Zuo Mandu!"

"No, it seems that several boards of ship twisted and deformed under the pressure of the shock wave, jammed the rudder... they could no longer move at any angle!"

"Oh my god, then at least let the motivation stop me immediately! I don't want to hit the breakwater in the harbor!"

"I'm sorry, the operating machinery of the water jet engine was completely damaged, and even the emergency backup system was no exception. I've been calling several engineers to get down into the cabin with the toolbox, but inspection and maintenance will take a certain amount of time... Oh, the maintenance team just came with good news. Although most of the machinery has not been repaired yet, the magic energy path from Mither energy core to the motive has been successfully cut off by them, and the motive has finally stopped!"

"...Is that right? But I only saw that our warships continued to rush forward."

"That's because of inertia! Inertia! How could Gao Hang, who has more than thirty knots, drop to zero all at once?"
Chapter completed!
