Chapter 458: Naval war (2/2)
And the flames are not easily going off even with so many water element users present.
The battle has become one-sided and this made the Adrian emperor frown. He doesn't know what to do. Should he wait or should he make move and start an all-out war? He doesn't know.
The troops of the western continent are considerably less compared to them and this might be a great time for them to deal with this. As for the two ships and the people on it.
They are completely gone. Only the Nascent stage cultivator managed to escape the slaughter.
Adrian emperor felt frustrated and decided to wait it out. He would deal with them when all his troops gathered.
The troops from all over the empire are moving towards this place for the battle. Since the troops are less in this place, he doesn't have to worry at all.
So, he went back and stayed in a temporary tent. But all the ships are ready to move at any given moment.
Meanwhile, the Flatfish puppet troops started collecting the bodies of the beasts and the spatial rings of the soldiers from the bloody water.
No way they would let these things go. All the beast meat can be given to the organization for rewards and there are some students who could exchange it for credits. Sam with the resources in the spatial ring. They could sell the pills to the pharmacy department if they couldn't use it.
One thing they got obsessed with since joining the school is that they would strive for the reward in every situation. They need to get maximum out of it no matter what.
They shouldn't lose any form of payment they could get out of such situations.
After that, both sides didn't make any moves at all, except for the two war ships. They formed a barricade as the starboard side faced the enemy ships and cannons aimed at them, ready to fire at any moment.
But they didn't. It seemed like a defensive measure. They might only make a move when they were attacked.
The time passed slowly
At night.
Even at this moment, the atmosphere is completely tense.
At this moment, what the Adrian troops didn't know is that a door opened at the rear end of the cannon room and the soldier started jumping into the sea. Half of the Flat Fish Puppet troops entered the sea without a sound.
But they didn't float on it. Instead, they took out the new type of breathing device which doesn't include the mask, and wore, and then they changed their standing posture. Their legs are extended towards the outermost end and closed their eyes as they pressed something.
All of a sudden, some metallic clamps came out of the ends and covered the feet and held it together. Then, the bodies of the cultivators fell forward as their chests and abdomen landed on the surface of the puppet and their hands are placed on the front end.
Then some transformer magic happened as the sections of the puppet moved. Some cable like extension cords full of tension appeared like the hands and legs spread along with them. The tension cords are exactly following the limbs and the hands and legs are held by the clamps of the puppet.
The remaining metallic puppet body was attached to the torso while clamped to it.
There is a circular hole on that body and that is the water jet which allowed them to move upwards or maintain a certain level in the sea.
Even the clamps around the hands and legs have smaller jets that are responsible for the forward motion in the surfing mode of the puppet.
On the rear side of the hands, the pikes could be see attached to it. The pikes are not exactly long and are only a little longer than the forearm.
It wouldn't restrict the elbow movement. Even the clamps holding the palms didn't restrict the movement of fingers. Most of the body is exposed to water. So, it wouldn't be fit to call it an armor, but it could be called an exoskeleton.
They dove deeper into the water as they made their move towards the enemy fleet.
