Chapter 1184 - Advance (2/2)
“This is an adventure; a long journey.”
Canary held the railing and gazed at the burnt land below. There was nothing. Be it the living or undead, what remained was only the land itself. Rhode’s plan was relatively risky and insane. With the coordination of 15 magic warships, he requested all soldiers from the Munn Kingdom and Void Territory to advance side by side, crushing any enemies before them in the shortest time possible, with the mightiest strength. This way, they could eliminate the Chaos that was spread by the Dark Dragon. If Rhode chose the ‘decapitation tactic’, he wouldn’t be able to stop the proliferation of Chaos even if he killed the Dark Dragon. Not only that, but it might also cause him to sink into deeper and more dangerous trouble. On the other hand, by going hand in hand, even though he wasn’t able to kill the Dark Dragon in the shortest time possible, he was able to restrict the living space of Chaos, restraining them from wreaking havoc.
The booms of cannon blasts filled the sky as billows of smoke rose from the surface. The hue of red, scorching heat took over as the main melody of the battlefield. At a glance, the undead army was seemingly completely destroyed by the series of bombardments. But Rhode was aware that the undead creatures weren’t that weak. If more than a dozen magic warships were enough to demolish them, the Country of Light and Munn Kingdom wouldn’t have been at the mercy of the Country of Darkness for so many years.
“Gaaaa——!”
As expected. All of a sudden, everyone heard an ear-piercing call. They witnessed a large ‘cloud’ rising from the horizon far ahead, concealing the entire sky as it came flying toward the magic warships.
“Reporting, Your Majesty Rhode. Soul griffins spotted ahead!”
“Hmph.”
Upon hearing the report, Rhode let out a snort, before reaching for his sword hilt.
“Go all-out! No holding back! Crush those damn birds! Activate the Order defensive enchanted field and Holy Maiden Statues!”
A pure, holy radiance flickered in the air. Even though the omnipresent darkness obscured the blistering sun, the holy radiance was like a lighthouse in the darkness. The Holy Maiden Statues erected ahead of the magic warships raised their arms. Circles of clear, dazzling halos
diffused like ripples with the statues in the middle. At a glance, the lined-up magic warships glittered in white, sacred brilliance one after another. The spreading waves of energy linked up to form a crystal barrier that was as thin as a cicada’s wings. They looked so thin that one couldn’t help but worry if the hurl of a stone would smash it into bits. But shortly after, the thin barrier proved the value of its existence.
“Gaaaa——!”
Tens of thousands of soul griffins beat their wings and dove head first into the crystal barrier like an inclined flood. But at the next moment, they let out bursts of anguished screeches. Their rock-hard claws failed to leave any slashes on the thin crystal barrier. On the contrary, the instant the soul griffins came in contact with the crystal barrier, they were devoured by holy, white flames immediately, before burning into ashes without leaving behind any remnants. In an instant, one saw countless white flames flaring up in the sky like glittering stars. The soul griffins were like moths to a flame. Even though they were gravely hurt, they had no intention of stopping. The next waves of soul griffins chiseled away at the crystal barrier above the magic warships, only to be forcefully separated by hundreds of blinding magical cannon beams. But shortly after, the emptied openings in the sea of darkness were quickly filled up as though they didn’t exist.
The flashes of magical power, cannon blasts, and death merged as one in the sky, turning into a unique scenery. All of a sudden, the soul griffins that were ramming into the crystal barrier frantically came to a halt. Then, they turned around instantly like a school of fish swimming in the ocean, retreating to where they came from. Looking at this scene, Rhode twitched his brows.
At that moment, he witnessed hundreds of warships that soared toward him in the air. They were tattered and the holes at the bottom weren’t even repaired fully. Dense spiritual mist lifted the hulls like ocean waves pushing them forward. These warships that appeared indistinctly in the mist appeared in front of his eyes.
They were the strongest air weapons of the Country of Darkness: the Ghost Fleet.
