Chapter 245: Divine Spirits Whistle (4) (2/2)
The walls resembled fortress walls, and various siege weapons were also mounted on the shell.
And in the center of such a shell.
Queen Iliana sat on an ornate seat that was like a throne, and when she tilted her beautiful huge staff forward, whistles sounded from all directions, and the flag bearers of each family raised their flags high.
“Begin the march.”
At Iliana’s command, the drums boomed again, and the infantry in the front row began to move forward. It was quite a spectacular sight as mermaids with colorful scales marched under the light spirts they had summoned in order to illuminate the dark sea.
“Let’s go.”
Chloe drove forward the battle chariot.
Kajsa joined the cavalry by riding on a seahorse, and she shouted out loud too as she lifted a trident high. Bentham remained since he had to protect Sebastian, and he saw off the group by waving his hand, though no one looked back at him.
The total number of troops that Iliana mobilized this time was over 1,200.
If one compared them to the 10,000 Jackdaws that were stationed in the northern border, it was not a very large number, but it was good to remember that they were all sirens.
Just like the elves of the Forest of Eternity, the sirens were also very good at fighting because they were a race that lived long.
‘Did they actually mobilize the whole army?’
It had only been two days since they arrived in the siren’s country, but Jude already had a rough idea of their country’s size.
Except for the minimum number of troops to protect their country, the entire army was mobilized.
And around 30 minutes later.
The movement of the siren troops who had been moving forward then slowed down. Because they had almost reached the seal.
“Let’s not delay it any longer. Let’s move according to plan.”
At the command of Iliana, the flag bearers raised their flags again to convey her will. They refrained from blowing a whistle or beating a drum in order to not provoke the Kraken.
“March.”
“March.”
It was a simple order, but because they had already been informed of the plan, the heads of each family moved forward to the sides as if to surround the seal, instead of rushing forward. The middle naturally became empty then, and the gap was filled with the spirit warriors who rode on battle chariots, and the sea turtle carrying Iliana.
“Begin.”
Sirens were basically spirit warriors who had contracts with one or more spirits, though there were differences in skill.
When Iliana stood up from her throne and lifted her staff, the water spirits responded, and the hundred spirit warriors also summoned their own spirits and conveyed their commands.
Block it. Tie up it movement using the water currents. Lock up the Kraken in the seal.
The spirits responded.
A water current was formed to suppress the seal, and a huge magic circle was drawn by the light spirits as they spread around the seal.
The current was just a barrier for a what-if scenario, but the magic circle was actually the one that would be used to confine the Kraken.
“Unite everyone’s power.”
As Iliana wrapped her hands around her staff and exuded her power, the 100 spirit warriors also closed their eyes and began to focus. They spread out their power to the magic circle.
And it was at that very moment.
—————–!
The Kraken’s silent roar shook the surroundings. But at the same time, an intense light came from the magic circle, and a huge sword made of light was formed. Before the Kraken could even go out of the seal’s hole, the huge sword penetrated the seal and pierced the monster.
————–!
The Kraken screamed again.
They couldn’t see it because of the seal, but it was clear that the sword of light had pierced the Kraken and prevented it from moving.
“Attack team forward!”
Sarandis commanded the rest of the troops because Iliana was concentration on the magic circle.
The melee cavalry waited from behind as their role was to respond to emergency situations. The hundreds of infantry units then gathered in front of the large hole in the seal.
The battle chariot carrying Jude and Cordelia were also placed behind such cavalry.
And light shined towards the hole.
As it drove away the darkness in the seal, they saw the Kraken struggling from the sword of light.
Its middle eye was crushed by Cordelia, but it still had its left and right eyes. The Kraken glared at them with its yellow eyes, and its eyes alone seemed to destroy the minds of the sirens by just its look.
“Attack!”
Thus, Sarandis hastened the attack. All possible long-range attacks poured down towards the Kraken, starting with weapons like bows and crossbows, to attacks using spirits and magic.
—-!
—!
——!
It worked. The Kraken was trapped in the narrow seal, and was helplessly beaten up by the attacks, unable to avoid or block any of the attacks.
A smile spread across Sarandis’ face.
She and the other sirens became confident of their victory and raised the momentum of their attacks.
“Your Excellency.”
Chloe turned to Cordelia with eager eyes.
She was telling her to summon the Spirit King and deal the final blow.
But instead of summoning the Spirit King, Cordelia prepared another magic with the help of the magic tools all over her body.
Because in the current situation, there were several more attack magic spells that were effective than summoning the Spirit King’s right arm to throw a punch.
Cordelia transformed into a witch.
Chloe was surprised when she first saw the witch transformation, but Cordelia continued to chant the spell.
By using Arkeman’s treasure to amplify her mana, she prepared a Spear of Calamity.
‘I have to wait first.’
She had to throw the Spear of Calamity right after the sirens launch their ultimate attack, the Sea God’s Trident.
Because she wanted to get the last hit, and that this was more effective too.
‘The true Spear of Calamity contains a witch’s curse.’
It guaranteed death to those who were already dying.
In game terms, the lower the monster’s HP, the higher its damage would be. So the Spear of Calamity was truly an attack that dealt a decisive blow.
Therefore, it was a more efficient choice to throw the Spear of Calamity right after the Kraken was hit by the Sea God’s Trident.
A huge black Spear of Calamity formed above Cordelia’s head as it glowed green.
Jude turned to Sarandis who was holding the Sea God’s Trident.
She was also reciting a spell while in a position to throw the Sea God’s Trident. This was to bring out the true power of the Sea God’s Trident, which was a treasure of the sirens.
The attack continued.
Sarandis’ spell reached its peak, and Cordelia’s Spear of Calamity began to emit a tremendous magic power.
And Kajsa raised her head.
Unlike Cordelia who was focusing on her magic and couldn’t focus on anything else, Kajsa was her usual self. She suddenly sensed it. Her instincts sent out a signal that a fierce threat was coming.
“Storm.”
Her word was like a prophecy.
It was a small ripple at first, but it soon became huge.
The huge ripples from afar came with a momentum to devour the siren forces.
