Chapter 780: Battle of Black Sea (1/2)
I immediately ordered, ”Get close to that ship and prepare for boarding! Fighters, summon your mounts and get ready to charge the moment we make contact! We’re going to slaughter every last one of them!”
He Yi blinked once as she commented, ”Look, that ship is sailing toward us as well. They must be led by a Famous General, or they wouldn’t dare make such a risky maneuver.”
”Mn.”
……
The enemy’s warship was charging directly at us, and we to them. As the distance between us grew shorter and shorter, Beiming Xue raised her Dragonbone String and shouted right before the ships entered the archer’s range, ”Get ready! Let’s start with Spiraling Arrow Blades and Volleys first!”
He Yi also shouted, ”Knights, raise shields!”
The archers and mages obeyed the order at once, and countless arrows and spells took to the air. 50% of them missed and landed in the water, and about 25% of them bounced off the enemy’s shields.
Almost at the same time, the enemy’s arrows and spells hit our magic knights and burned their shields bright red.
……
We were getting closer and closer. There was only 20 yards of space between our two ships now!
Riding atop her mount, our beautiful guild leader rode to the edge of the deck and launched Purgatory of Ice and Magma. Five waves of devastating sword energy instantly sliced through the air!
Bang bang bang...
The enemy’s magic knights tilted their shields and imbued it with the golden energy of Holy Shield. Even then, the skill had deleted almost half of their HP.
It was my turn. I leaped up to He Yi’s side and raised my palm toward the sky. The next moment, Ancient Seal crashed down exactly at the spot I was aiming!
Boom!
The golden seal seeped into the deck’s boards and scalded the poor magic knights. At least dozens of people were one-shot where they stood.
”Fuck! They have a Divine General! It’s that Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand!!” someone roared on top of their lungs in fury. It looked like they hadn’t expected this encounter at all.
As our two ships sailed past each other, I grabbed my sword tighter and shouted, ”Get on the ship now! Destroy their Dragon God Warship!”
Chiang chiang chiang…
Hundreds of elite Dragonlight Cavalrymen unsheathed their weapons and prepared for battle. They were all imbued by Martial God or Royal Road.
”Shit! Get him off the ship now!”
At an elevated position on the ship, a high-level mage stared at me with steely eyes and waved his staff menacingly at me. He was imbuing his party with ”Soul General”, a stratagem that increased all Magic Attack by 100%. Almost a hundred mages chanted their spells in unison and dropped innumerable Galaxy Storms on top of my head. It was terrifying to say the least!
I zigzagged twice and managed to move away from the center of the magical storm. As I fired Burning Blade Slash at a group of players, I forced my way closer to the mage party and activated Ancient Seal five times in a row regardless of the cost. Bloodcurdling screams filled the air the next moment. Ancient Seal already did an incredible amount of damage, but its power was boosted even further by Martial God, so not even shielded mages could survive it! Barring those with exceptional HP and Magic Attack, all the mages that were hit by the Ancient Seals dropped like flies! The Ancient Seal was the nightmare incarnate of all low-health classes!
My attack cost me 5 Divine Energy Points, but it bought me an incredible advantage. Alone but not powerless, I fought my way to the center of the Dragon God Warship and immobilized the mage with Soul General with God Binding Art. The mage’s Magic Shield had been shattered by my Ancient Seal, and he was unable to summon another one for a short time. Not about to let the opening slip by, I fired a Dragon Slaying Slash straight at his torso!
Squelch!
31723!
Just like that, the pitiful mage was killed where he stood. The guy was unlucky, to be honest. Being part of the Dragon God Warship’s crew, the chances of him dying in this naval battle were in fact quite low. Unfortunately for him, his opponent was the command ship of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls!
Behind me, I heard the Dragonlight Cavalry led by He Yi finally boarding the ship. They were able to hack through the enemies like wolves loosed into a herd of sheeps because the latter was mostly disabled by my five Ancient Seals. It barely took us any effort to sweep the rest of the army.
Moreover, the two ships were currently aligned parallel to each other, so our ranged players were able to unleash their firepower to their hearts’ content and lighten the load on our Dragonlight Cavalry even further. At the end of the skirmish, we were able to rout the enemy’s thousand-man party with nearly zero losses.
……
”We need to destroy this ship. It’s durability is too high, and if we leave it alone, it will only be taken over by another Northern Alliance party. It will continue to pose a threat to us until we destroy it,” He Yi declared.
