Chapter Twenty-Four: Broadboarding
"Full sails!"
Sidlifa pulled out the tomahawk from the mast and roared.
"But the demigod hasn't ordered it yet......"
A Norman sailor questioned him, and before he could finish his sentence, the handle of the Axe of the North Wind slammed into his face, almost knocking out all his teeth.
Full Sail !! Sidlifa's voice raised an octave.
The sailor whimpered with blood in his mouth, and the other sailors hurriedly carried out the order, otherwise the next blow would not be an ordinary axe handle.
The ships they were on began to accelerate, and gradually they broke away from the fleet. The people of the other ships raised their heads and watched in amazement as the ship rushed out of the ranks like arrows from the string and rushed forward like a dusty horse...... Then I heard the news of the flag order from the flagship behind:
The whole ship charged with full sails.
All:..................
The demigod's orders must be carried out, so everyone lowered their sails and began to pick up speed.
William stood on the deck of the flagship, silently looking ahead.
For fleets of the undead with strong long-range strike power, the wandering tactic is absolutely unwise, as the opponent will use spells to bombard them from a distance.
Therefore, the best tactic is to charge at the face and increase the speed of the ship to the maximum, in order to break through the "death range" that the enemy's magic can cover in the shortest possible time.
However, another problem is that charging at full speed is the best strategy for the whole but not necessarily for the individual. Because whoever rushes to the front will undoubtedly be in danger of being set on fire by the opponent in the first round.
As a result, most ships would never charge before the order was given, even if they could anticipate it from above.
So this Sidlifa, is it just a simple courage and no strategy? Or is it a deliberate display of bravery and determination in order to complete the Viking Trials?
William continued to stare at the small boat, only to see it rush into the fleet of the ghost fleet like an arrow.
"Get down!" Sidlifa roared.
The crew hurriedly lay down, only to see that from the ghost ship in front, countless bone spears suddenly shot out.
The Bone Spear Technique, derived from the "psychic" ability of the Corpse Witch Transcendent, allows them to manipulate the bone warriors around them to throw sharpened bones as weapons.
Countless bone spears pierced the front of the ship, instantly piercing it like a hedgehog, and the accumulated weight even caused the ship to tilt forward.
A number of bone spears were shot above the hull, flying over the heads of the sailors lying on the deck—if they hadn't followed Sidlifa's orders in time, they would have been turned into targets.
In just a moment's effort, the ship, which was projected with a bone spear, had already smashed through the two ghost ships and rushed to the center of the undead fleet, and was rubbed and trembled by the resistance of the surrounding ships.
Sidlifa, who was lying on the deck, immediately jumped up like lightning and rushed towards the enemy ship that had already taken the side.
In the process of charging, she easily pulled out the bone spear that pierced the deck, and almost completely without aiming and charging, as soon as she grasped it, she threw it directly at the enemy of the opposite ship.
Sidlifa's arms are extremely strong, and she is able to shoot left and right. With each shot of a bone spear, it can pierce almost 2-3 enemies, stringing them together like a sugar gourd. Even many transcendents who hid behind the undead were severely injured by such a piercing tactic.
Then, rushing to the edge of the deck, she leaped high and jumped from the side of her ship to the nearest ghost ship.
On the decaying deck, the three corpse witch transcendents hurriedly retreated, and at the same time commanded the surrounding undead to besiege it. Sidlifa, who had just landed, only quickly swept his gaze and determined the type and number of enemies on the deck.
A large number of skeletal warriors in cloaks, with whitish bones under the tattered fabric, and the equipment was obviously miscellaneous soldiers; There are also two tall skeleton knights in heavy plate armor, holding swords in their right hand and shields in their left, presumably the elite of these undead.
The three corpse witches were transcendent, hiding behind them with their staffs in their hands, apparently manipulating these undead.
Sidlifa then charged towards the two Skeleton Knights, and on the way, he pulled the Axe of the North Wind from behind his waist, and his body spun around.
Whirlwind Slash!
Whirlwind Slash, a classic Norman warrior skill, is usually used in a surrounded battlefield environment by spinning at high speed with one or two hands axe, slashing at enemies 360 degrees around the body.
At this time, Sidlifa, who had already completed her bloodline, could bring up a cold air like a tide every time she swung the axe of the north wind, and this 1080-degree whirlwind slashed down, and the violent cold formed a huge white circle around her, so that the skeleton warriors who were close to her all froze in place, wrapped in thick ice and snow, and could barely move.
Having broken through the entanglement of the miscellaneous soldiers in the way, Sidlifa has rushed to the front of a bone knight, and he is a fierce and decisive axe at the head.
The opponent raised the black iron shield in his left hand to block, and was broken in half by the axe of the north wind, and even the bone arm behind it was cut in two by the huge force.
Sidlifa was about to finish it with another axe when she suddenly spun around and threw the Axe of the North Wind. The tomahawk sliced in a sharp arc through the air, passing through the translucent body of a banshee.
The banshee spotted Sidlifa from high above the battlefield and was about to swoop down to target Sidlifa's back, but as soon as the Axe of the North Wind passed through it, tiny ice crystals spread from inside its body - hexagonal snowflakes grew rapidly inside it, and soon its entire translucent body was reduced to a frozen frozen sculpture.
Ghosts, which are fully immune to physical damage, are naturally more vulnerable to spell damage. Just as a Bloodline that heals physically is super-fast and has less resistance to mental disturbances, so is the so-called balance.
After Hidlifa threw her tomahawk, she was left with no weapons in her hands. Of course, the necromancers were well aware of the drawbacks of the Normans' killing technique, and immediately commanded the surrounding undead to launch an attack on Sidlifa.
Bone spears and venom missiles sealed her way back from both sides. Two undead knights quickly approached and swung their knives, one slashing her in the abdomen and the other slashing her head.
At this time, Sidlifa, who was already unarmed, did not retreat but advanced in the face of the slash and the light of the sword, first directly narrowed the distance to almost close to him, raised his knee to block the opponent's swinging arm that slashed at the lower abdomen, and then grabbed and lifted its forearm, just blocking the other knight's direct slash.
The opponent's straight slash severed his companion's forearm, and Sidlifa took advantage of the situation to snatch the blade held by the severed arm, and the backhand was a quick and sharp slash, and the undead knight's head flew high.
Seeing that she had dealt with the two knights so neatly, the surrounding corpse witch transcendents were also a little unexpectedly frightened. One of them quietly retreated (preparing to jump into the sea to escape), while the other two hurriedly cast a spell, urging the bone warriors to come and kill the Norman woman.
Sidlifa threw another slash, and the black saber snatched from the Bone Knight whizzed through the air, shattering the bodies of the two Bone Warriors, and then penetrating the corpse witch who had retreated to the side of the ship.
Her other hand spread outward, and the Axe of the North Wind flew right back into her palm, and then she grabbed it, and once again unleashed its icy cold aura and blade towards the skeletal warriors who were pouring in.
