732 A Strong Army from Cloudflow Part 2 (2/2)

At the moment, the winged skeleton no longer hoped to sink the enemy's main warship. He wanted to destroy the enemy's troop-carrying vessels and cause significant damage to the enemy's army. As long as the pan's turtle alchemical boat sank to the seabed, even a grade-9 sorcerer would not dare create trouble for him. He was a spirit while the enemy was human. In an underwater battle, humans would not have the upper hand.

Twelve diving warships, without the bone spirits, pounced at the remaining troop-carrying vessels. The offensive method used by these metal diving warships was pretty ferocious. The triangular bow of the warship spun furiously as it crashed at the rudder of the troop-carrying vessels. Had the diving warships struck the sides, they might have been the one who sunk.

At that moment, the diving warships did not conceal their positions anymore and they attacked the troop-carrying vessels frantically. The magic arrays within the diving warships operated at full speed, increasing the speed of the warship to maximum velocity. Such a method of travel would basically cause the magic installations to become crippled.

Due to an overload of passengers, the troop-carrying vessels were not agile enough and their rudders were destroyed. Paddles extended out from both sides of the troop-carrying vessels and the sailors and gigantic magic beasts in the vessels began rowing the paddles, trying to escape.

The twelve diving warships decided to float up to the surface to ram the paddles. As the huge wooden paddles were fractured, all of the troop-carrying vessels slowly came to a halt. The diving warships were still using their spinning bows to attack the weak areas of the troop-carrying vessels, trying to breach the sides.

The outcome was glorious, but the winged skeleton was not very surprised. The warships one-hundred miles ahead had begun turning around, while the fourteen warships at the rear were fast approaching.

”If the Cloudflow people arranged warships to protect these troop-carrying vessels, I would not have been so successful.”

The pan's turtle alchemical boat resembled an alligator, concealing itself in the water as it waited for the warships from the rear to arrive. The winged skeleton's target was that warship which measured over one-hundred yards in length. Only this warship could pose a direct threat to the diving warships.

The winged skeleton's warring tactic was very effective, he had destroyed the rudders of the troop-carrying vessels, which would lead to the warships coming forth to reinforce their comrades. The three squads coming from the side were already less than thirty miles away. Both parties were going to engage in a head-on battle, there would be no room for backing out. The Cloudflow people could only activate their fastest warship, they could not assemble a proper formation.

The winged skeleton did not care about the depletion, ”As long as these troop-carrying vessels can be sunken, it is worth it even if I lose these skeletal warships.”

On the surface of the lake, there were many Cloudflow soldiers who had fallen into the water. The soldiers did not wear armor, they were clad in cotton clothes. The winged skeleton was waiting for the skeletal warships to come close before shooting these Cloudflow people at a short distance.

Through clenched teeth, the winged skeleton thought to himself, ”Once I return, I have to transform Metatrin's fleet quickly, the Cloudflow's fleet on the ocean is definitely stronger than the one used on this lake. If Cloudflow attacks Metatrin City, my fleets might not be able to withstand it.”

Other than the winged skeleton, there were no other intelligent spirits onboard the pan's turtle alchemical boat. The winged skeleton commanded the skeletal soldiers to activate the death magic array, releasing all the bone spirits onboard the pan's turtle alchemical boat. The Spirit Pool on the ship had been replaced, it could create twenty-four bone spirits every day. These spirits were already at grade-3 the moment they were borne, their lives were very short. All of them were stored in the Green Spirit rocks.

This was the winged skeleton's personal ship and the bloodstones had been further refined by the winged skeleton. Their power was now equivalent to that of level-6 magic. If it was not for the volatility of this item, the winged skeleton would want to make more to use them in land battles. ”A pity though, if I do it my city might be destroyed.”

Carrying the purple bloodstone, two bone spirits charged towards the approaching Cloudflow warships. The mage onboard the Cloudflow warship immediately discovered this underwater attack. He then ordered his subordinate mages to alter the direction of travel in an attempt to dodge the attack. Under the winged skeleton's command, the bone spirits traveled faster than the warships, however.

Two bone spirits made a turn in water and ruthlessly rammed into the bow of the warship.

There were two raucous explosions as a cavity was forcefully created in the bow of this one-hundred-yard long warship. The bloodstones, which were personally refined by the winged skeleton, did not let him down. The colossal warship quivered a few times at the surface, before tilting forward. Just two attacks were needed to take out a powerful warship.

The winged skeleton was very glad that there were no grade-9 mages onboard this warship.

When the thirteen warships at the rear witnessed this scene they turned around to flee. The winged skeleton did not bother giving chase, he ignored the mage who had flown up from the warship he destroyed.

The winged skeleton swerved around, making a beeline for the troop-carrying vessels which were floating on the surface. The remaining twenty-four bone spirits were released by him at the same time. They swam swiftly towards the most undamaged troop-carrying vessels.

A string of explosions occurred and the twenty-two troop-carrying vessels began sinking into the water.

The winged skeleton then realized that only three of diving warships were still attacking the troop-carrying vessels, the other nine had been destroyed by the warriors and mages onboard the troop-carrying vessels. The winged skeleton daringly used the magic compass and realized that his three squads were less than twenty miles away, while the Cloudflow warships at the front were still sixty miles away.

The winged skeleton then smiled, ”Those troop-carrying vessels are doomed. When the Cloudflow people get here, they can only salvage the soldiers who fell overboard. How many can they save?” Cloudflow soldiers were aplenty on the surface of the lake, as the winged skeleton floated up stealthily. Once he got close to the soldiers, he began using death magic to attack them.

Cloudflow's sailors were of high quality, so the winged skeleton wanted to injure them as much as possible to render Cloudflow's rescue mission meaningless.
