Chapter 460: Adrian is no more (1/2)
The four cannon barrels can change the direction to some extent and pike after pike were being shot at the Sea-Hawks.
There is a reason why they didn't choose explosives and impact shells to shoot.
It's because there is a high chance of getting damaged by them. If the opponents just tried to use some methods that could block their ascent and let them fall down back on the ship, the results would be disastrous.
Rather, these metallic pikes are a good replacement for that.
They are mainly focused on damaging a single entity rather than an area of effect damage. On top of that, they could also integrate any form of spiritual energy into them and have different properties when they attacked.
The fire element can cause an explosion of flames, the wind element can form a sharp wind blade, and the earth element or metal element can form a crushing brute force. All of them are possible.
Soon, the tables turned once again and the Seahawk troops returned. It could be said as a tie at this moment and that is because they retreated, if they continued to stay, they would die.
Six Sea-Hawks fell and the people from the warships didn't waste any time in catching their bodies.
There is no way they would let these babies go after killing them.
The soldiers of the Western continent are looking at them in a speechless manner. This is not something they expected from these elites of the School.
They are just too greedy for their own good.
It almost made them look like they are not taking this war seriously.
The Sea Hawk troops returned and the Adrian emperor's face turned gloomy. He doesn't know how to overcome those two ships. They were quite some deterrence, the only way for them to win this battle is to bring this to the ground.
He decided to wait it out. He wouldn't make a move until the other party did. After all, Arc is the one who is invading. He could just focus on defending.
After that, he went to the city lord's place and sent a message which passed through all the cities and reached the imperial capital. There someone went to the Thunder god temple, to contact Adrian Prince who is studying in the thunder god temple.
They want to see if they could use the thunder god temple to pressure the Western continent into backing down.
But the reply he got is not something he wanted to hear. He learned that the Thunder god temple is extremely busy and there is no one who could help him. He heard that there is some serious unrest going on between the major powers.
He couldn't help but curse Arc. That bastard really chose a perfect time to make a move.
As he received the message, suddenly he heard some commotion on the other side and the connection was cut. He wanted to connect once again, but it is not happening.
He has a bad feeling about this and tried to contact the nearby remaining cities but the result is still the same.
He had a bad premonition and the next morning an injured soldier came to them on a beast which is also injured.
They collapsed at the edge of the city and the patrol soldiers tried their best to save him. When he woke up, he immediately said something.
”Ambush.. Ambush. We are ambushed.”
He started saying frantically.
”What happened? Calm down and say it clearly.” The captain near him frowned and felt like something is wrong. Who would ambush them at this time?
The soldier drank a potion and calmed down before saying.
”The troops from the nearby city and are marching towards this place, but on the way we are ambushed. All the soldiers are dead. I am the only survivor. We are even ambushed at the convergent point where the three city's troops are supposed to be assembled.”
When the captain heard this, his eyes became wide open and his body started shivering. This is not just some bad news this is the worst possible news.
”Who did this?” He asked trying to calm himself as much as he can.
”I don't know.”
The captain didn't press further. There is nothing he could do if the soldier really doesn't know.
He went out and reported everything to the superior and the news soon reached the Emperor and he frowned.
This is the worst-case scenario. He didn't expect that there would be an ambush within his country.
He immediately stormed out of the tent and yelled at Arc who is on the Warship conversing with the commander about the Warship.
