400 An Unfair Battle Part 2 (2/2)
The Pan's Turtle alchemical boat was not built as a warship. It was amazing enough for an underwater ship that was barely thirty meters long to have such strong attacks. The winged skeleton built a new spirit pool at stern of the ship, as he needed stronger attacks.
The flagship that had the highest defence was slowly slanting to one side. Among the twelve ships, four out of eight fully armed commercial ships had sunk. The remaining four fully armed commercial ships were releasing lifeboats and there were swordsmen escaping and rowing towards the ice sheet constantly.
The border of the ice sheet already had a simple harbor. Once they climbed on, they would survive.
Hong!
One of the lifeboats had an explosion, but it was because a low level mage shot out a fire ball to kill a few soldiers that were fighting for the boat with him. The low level mage did not know how to swim, even if he knew, he would die if he jumped into sea water that was that cold.
In a myth, when adventurers lost their boat in the sea, they would be carried by the current until they met an abandoned island. In actual fact, if there was no special skill or equipment, the temperature of the sea water was sufficient enough to take one's life away.
The surrounding soldiers got pissed and drew their long knives, wanting to harm the mage. Before life or death, they had no respect for the mages. Suddenly, a grade-6 gray robed mage, raised his hands and released a Wind Blade spell to cut the swordsmen in half.
”Mage leaves first.” The gray robed mage looked coldly at the remaining soldiers. The soldiers were eager to take action, but they left the lifeboat quickly to go and fight for the other life boats.
On the sea surface, there were a few bone spirits that were spying and sent images back to the Pan's Turtle alchemical boat. The winged skeleton smiled, ”A motley force that knows no discipline. Master won't run into any trouble fighting them.”
The winged skeleton was right, these soldiers were gathered last minute as the situation in the eastern island nations was special. Sometimes, there were dozens of thousands of people on an island. Even if it was a nation, the nation had no ability to build large scale warships. The Eighteen-Power Allied Force was actually formed by multiple small countries.
When there was danger, the soldiers panicked. Everyone knew that it was impossible that their own kings had deterrence. If they wanted to live, they had to fight for life boats with their allies.
The mentality of islanders was something the Qin people could not understand as well as the winged skeleton. If these soldiers cooperated, more than half of them could escape to the ice sheet. The distance between the warship and the ice sheet was only a few meters after all and the number of lifeboats were not too few. It would take at least half an hour for the ship to sink and this half an hour would be sufficient for the lifeboats to come back and forth for a few rounds.
The fighting among themselves led to more death. Even if they lived, they would not have trust anymore and they would not be able to fight together. If Saleen were to attack then, the end of these people would be certain.
More and more soldiers got onto the ice sheet and looked back at their ships that were slowly sinking. Then, there were three huge shadows that flew from the mainland. Their bodies were eight meters away and there was no blood or flesh, but only soul flames in their eyes.
Three huge spirits of the dead came before the border of the ice sheet, but they did not do anything to the soldiers. They only did one thing at the same time, which was to take out their scepters and stab them into the ice sheet.
”Thanks to Shanglan for giving me the strength of truth.” Diyabannersa's scepter was giving out a ear deafening roar.
”Thanks to Shanglan for giving me the strength of lies.” Judikaka looked far towards the sea and his scepter was quivering in his hands. It made a huge crack on the ice sheet.
”Thanks to Shanglan for giving me the strength of ridicule.” Banchajanna shot gray streaks of light from his scepter and set up a humongous death spirit magic array in front of them. More spirits of the dead walked out from the magic array and walked towards the soldiers on the border of the ice sheet.
As the three Kings were doing this, they had a thought at the same time, ”Saleen is so treacherous.”
Saleen gave them an order, which was to break the ice sheet, so that those soldiers could not come ashore. If the enemy had strong mages, the three Kings only need to hold up the mages and Saleen would take care of the rest.
As expected, when the black robed mage realized the three terrifying death spirits were breaking the ice sheet, he could not help but bring four gray robed mages. He flew towards the three Kings.
”Stop!” Youxi Maso roared forgetting to speak the mainland common language.
”Mage, do you want us to stop? Then, fight a battle with us.” Judikaka said and flew into the air as he sighed in his heart. Saleen made a correct guess. The enemy had a sorcerer. Three fighting against one would not be much of a fight though. The rest of the four gray robed mages could not bring much harm to the Kings.
On the ice sheet a few miles away, four magic beast swordsmen brought four-hundred Caucasus warriors on magic wolves looking from afar without charging forward. If the three Kings managed to attract the sorcerer, he could solve the remaining problem himself.
It was an unfair battle, but it was their fault for invading.
