"Left full rudder!"

The frightened screams of the sailors nearly pierced the Plover's eardrums, and the huge windboat was swerving, staggering with an almost capsizing bevel with the cannonballs of the shadowmen who were spewing green flames and constantly falling sparks in their wakes.

Fang Yu grabbed the mast with his hand and looked back, watching the green flame of light fall into the depths of the sea of clouds in his dark pupils.

He looked up again, the battle in mid-air had just begun, and the countless green glows emitted by the Shadow Man's distorted floating ship were reflecting the sea of clouds.

Beams of green light pierced through the clouds, and directly in front of them were the shadows of the Silver Veslan's main fleet, the military's fleet, and the Fenris fleet in Cloudhaven. Due to the distance, this strange beam of light emitted from the Shadowman's warped windship seemed to travel extremely slowly in mid-air, like a rain of light slowly falling.

It's just that in front of them, the Elector's float seems to be slower—

The moment the two approached, time seemed to be accelerated, and a green flame struck the Chosen One's windship, and all the ships they passed through immediately burst into flames, and at last, along with the silver sailboat, were annihilated in the bright light of the explosion.

The ship that rushed to the front spread its magical shield, and the light shield that was hit was outlined by the dark green flames, and shimmered with a blinding blue light that was clearly visible even from such a distance.

But the shield quickly reached its limit, flickering a few times before shattering like glassware. Then, in an instant, the wind ship behind it was annihilated in the flames.

It's just that the windship in front of it keeps falling, and immediately the windboat behind it fills up, and the fleet of the Chosen One is constantly being weakened, but the distance between them and the Shadow Man fleet is also getting closer and closer.

The two sides soon approached the distance of the Elector's ship enough to launch a counterattack—

The fleets of Silver Vislan, Silver Spear, and Jeffrey Cardinals seemed to pause slightly, then rotated to the left in unison, and then fired in unison. The bright light seemed to make the clouds shake for a moment, and then Fang Yu heard a deafening roar, like rolling thunder in the distance.

He grabbed the cable with his hands, squinting and looking up in that direction.

The others on the deck were silent, and even Kaka had a slightly serious look, even if he only cared about whether he could get his 'work-related injury insurance', he also knew that the next decisive battle would be related to whether they could survive the apocalyptic battlefield.

The fleets of the Chosen of Freedom and the small guilds of Gula had descended to a lower altitude at the beginning, so that only a few bundles of loss had occasionally streaked in this direction, and at the moment they seemed to be in the forgotten corners of the battlefield.

At this height, the battle on the ground below was clearly visible, and after retreating for a while, the Grey Knights of the Ravental Sanctuary once again stabilized the battle line with the three fortresses on the northern plains of Elpakhin as the fulcrum.

However, the Electors' offensive was like a tidal wave, wave after wave, looking down from the entire vast sky, and the black crushing wave attacked in three directions at the same time with overwhelming superior forces.

The three fronts were stalemate, and a magic flare was shot into the air, and the bright light outlined the battle on the ground, and flames, ice arrows, and lightning flashed across the position.

From time to time, the colossus of clay was summoned by the warlocks, breaking from under the ground, and its huge body towered over the battlefield, taking heavy steps towards the opponent's position.

Momiji leaned on the side of the ship and glanced down, just in time to see the moment the battle situation changed, several troops had joined the attack of the Electors, and it seemed that they were a new force from the area around Charter City.

She was very familiar with the guilds in the north, and she could probably guess the identity of the other party, and Momiji looked at the communication crystal in her hand again, she knew that under the instruction of Miss Yugudora, most of the power of the Oak Knights of Tapolis had been put into this battlefield.

Those former companions may be fighting on the battlefield below at this moment, and Momiji can't help but think of the sand night and the little sky that are still left on the Nanami Traveler, and the knights after the split, but at this moment, they coincidentally fought side by side in this battle again.

She took a soft breath.

Under the overwhelming power of the Electors, the Ravental Sanctuary began to loosen once more, and smoke was already rising from the northernmost fortress of the battlefield, and the Chosen seemed to have invaded it.

I don't know who the commander on the ground is directing the battle, but it is obviously a fairly experienced veteran, and the moment the gray knights waver, and in the eyes of Momiji, I saw that the cavalry of the Chosen Ones on one wing of the battlefield had begun to gather.

In fact, in Kaurin-Ishurian, although there are also dragon knights, they are generally the main force of the elite royal guard.

There are also some noble knights in the major knights, well-equipped, but there are not many of them, and the Silverwind Knights of Elpakhin have only about a hundred formal knights, and the rest are mercenaries and attendants.

The cavalry of Kaulin-Ishurian actually used horses or dragon-blooded warhorses from the Scepter Coast as vehicles, and although there were some dragon knights and eagle riders in each city, these special cavalry were often difficult to scale.

However, the Drafters are different, and although they usually fight alone or with the rest of the squad, most of these knights are well-armed and their mounts are all odd.

The Earth Dragons are only the most basic configuration, and there are even some things like the giant silver-maned spiders that ride them, or the Gray-Toothed Beast, which is a distant relative of Mr. Graystone, and is only slightly smaller than the latter, but is also a mountain-like existence on the battlefield.

When the cavalry gathered and ran, Momiji could almost imagine how the enemy in front of them would feel, when in fact the thin arrow had already loosened before it had cut through the mercenary's defenses.

The battlefield on the ground erupted with bright flames, and it was the Earth Dragons at the front breathing fire, and then Momiji saw the huge silver-maned spider rushing into the crowd.

The commander of the Chosen side had chosen a suitable entry point for his cavalry, and the mercenaries under the command of the Grey Knights were probably the weakest link in the battlefield, and the moment the Chosen Knights cut in, that line of defense completely collapsed.

As soon as the mercenaries retreated, the fortress to the north became a lonely salient on the battlefield, and the smoke that had risen from the fortress not long ago seemed to have a faint indication of the tilt of the scales of war on the ground.

There are still two strongholds on the plains north of Elpahim, but the Ravental Temple's defense line is no longer organized after losing a corner, and it is difficult for them to continue to hold on to the missing corner of the defense, and they may even fall into the fate of being surrounded by enemies from the north.

The commander of the Ravental Templars, if sensible enough, should have further retracted their defenses and retreated under the city of Elpahim. However, once the Electors have crossed these last three fortresses, there will be no more obstacles in the northern wilderness of Elpahin, and the Electors will directly descend on the city of Elpahin.

Unless......

Momiji withdrew his gaze and looked up into the air.

The only variable on the battlefield is this air battle with a huge disparity in strength, and if the Shadow Man's fleet is allowed to pull out, the Electors will probably face a crushing defeat.

And in the middle of the air, thick smoke was billowing at the moment.

The previous exchange of fire had caused casualties to the Shadowmen's fleet for the first time, but in the salvo that was close enough to reach this distance, only a few dark wind-boats rose into flames and hung smoke and exited the battle.

However, as expected, the battle on the ground seemed to attract the attention of the Shadow Fleet, which immediately separated from the lower part of the fleet with more than a dozen floating ships, and then flew towards the ground.

Seeing this scene, Fang Yu immediately ordered: "Rush over and stop them!" ”

The order was communicated via the communication channel to every ship in the fleet of Free Electors and small and medium-sized guilds. The fleet, hovering under the clouds, suddenly accelerated, detached from the rear of the Jeffrey Redcoats' fleet, and headed for the detachment that the Shadow Man had separated.

But as soon as they moved, they were immediately noticed by the main fleet of the shadow people, and those pitch-black, distorted floating ships turned one after another, revealing the black hole of the cannon hole to them.

"Covered by artillery fire, ready for shelling!"

The sailors on board screamed.

Fang Yu subconsciously looked up, only to see that the side of the shadow man's floating ship was like a slow motion, slowly bursting out of the green muzzle flame, and the little spots of light flickered in turn, and then the bright light flame roared with a sharp sound that broke through the sky.

The light fell from the air like raindrops, falling from their left and right sides with a whirring sound, a feeling he had experienced once before, and he was calm at the moment.

It's just that in the face of the light and rain in the sky, it is really more spectacular than before.

The dazzling green light suddenly enlarged in his pupils, Fang Yu suddenly realized something, and subconsciously pounced to the side, but someone reached out and pulled him halfway, causing him to fall heavily to the ground.

Then there was a loud bang, a violent explosion that almost caused him to bounce off the deck, and he literally fell into the eye.

Fang Yu seemed to lose consciousness for a moment, and then he woke up in the scorching breath, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the flames rising all around, and there were faint shadows rushing in that direction with a bucket of water.

Then he heard a snort, and white water vapor rose up, and clouds and mist surrounded him. Then a figure came up to him, shook him, and asked, "Are you alright?" ”

Fang Yu looked up and found that it was a star, his head was groggy, but he also realized that the other party had saved his life. He pressed his aching forehead and asked, "How is the ship?" ”

Xing shook his head: "One shot on the port deck, but don't worry, the ship is not so fragile that it can be sunk with a single shell." ”

Fang Yu staggered to his feet, leaned on the side of the boat and looked into the surrounding sea of clouds, and found that many ships were on fire and burning, and several of them were particularly seriously damaged, and they had slowed down and hung behind.

He even saw a windboat wrapped in raging flames, slowly falling to the ground.

Fang Ou looked up again, just in time to see the second round of fire from the Silver Vislan, the Spear of the Silver Forest, and the Jeffrey Redcoats' ship.

After turning sideways, they managed to avoid a salvo from the Shadow Fleet, and then continued to attack the flank of the Shadow Fleet at a cut angle. Having approached a considerable distance, the round of fire caused great damage.

The bright flame lit Fang Yuan's pupils again, and he saw the shadowmen's floating ships explode from the inside with dazzling fire, and almost all of them in the front were shattered.

The Shadow Wings' fleets seemed to be good at attacking, and the Plovers had barely seen them open their shields, and in fact they hadn't found the equipment when they attacked the opposing ships before.

The question he wanted to ask the star before was actually about it, the Shadow Man's floating ship seemed to him a little weird, clumsy and slow, and seemed to tilt all its abilities and resources towards the means of attack.

Their guns have a long range and are powerful, but that's about it.

These strange floating ships don't feel like normal air-sea navy to him, but more like a consumable, and the strange feeling is even stronger when you think of the sailors on the opposing ship, the skeletal nightmare furnace structure, and the few shadow men who are the commanders.

It's just that the current situation doesn't give him time to go into the details.

Under the cover of artillery fire, the fleet of Silver Vislan had broken through the fire and smoke, and the sailships with silver sails made a huge turn on the battlefield at this moment, and they seemed to cut through an arc—

Then, with an indomitable momentum, he rushed towards the shadow man's fleet.

Immediately behind them were the Spear of the Silver Forest and the Jeffrey Redcoats' fleet, all three of which crashed into the formation of the Shadow Fleet.

This scene attracted the attention of all the shadow fleets, and the artillery fire that was fired in this direction immediately became sparse, and there was no need for Fang Yu to remind them, everyone in this detachment realized that this was their chance.

"Open the shield!"

Fang Yu shouted.

At this time, the fleet that had split off from the main fleet of the Shadow Men also realized their approach, and immediately stopped at the altitude they were.

Height is an advantage in battles above the sea and sea, and they can support the ground when they descend further, but in the face of fire coverage from overhead, it is tantamount to a catastrophe.

Although the Shadow Man's floating ship was clumsy, its commander was still in his right mind, and immediately changed his original plan, intending to take out this detachment of humans who were more threatening to him first.

At this moment, the two sides are almost at the same height, and there are more than a dozen wind boats on the shadow side, although the number is slightly less than that of Fang Yuan's side, but the quality is more than a notch.

Among Fang Yuan's motley army, there are a large number of people from the free electors, and the windboats of the small and medium-sized guilds of Gullah, not to mention the small boats, the quality of the people on the ships is even more uneven. If the two sides really fight, it is actually quite difficult to say who will win or lose.

However, Fang Yu knew that his side had at least one advantage, that is, the ability to approach combat, and the Drafter was definitely not inferior to those metal skeleton shelves. Not to mention, there are many elites from the major guilds on his ship.

There is also such a pseudo-dragon knight as Star.

But the problem is how to get close.

At this moment, the Shadow Man's fleet has already fired first, and the other side has the advantage of range, which is why they will stop. Already close to this distance, it was almost impossible to miss the fire, and most of the shells hit the Elector's windboat almost accurately.

It's just that because the shield was opened first, the cannon fire only rippled around the wind boat, and the other party only had more than a dozen ships, and this round of firepower was distributed, and the magic shield was not too much to support.

It's just that after one salvo, the shield values of each ship have decreased to varying degrees, especially those that rush to the front row, and they will almost certainly not be able to survive the next salvo.

A nervous voice immediately came from the communication channel:

"Guys, let's shoot back."

But Fang Yu immediately picked up the communication crystal and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, please listen to my command." ”

The communication channel fell silent, and everyone looked at each other a little, strictly speaking, Fang Yu actually did not have this authority, and the Lonely Boat was only the commander of the Jeffrey Redcoats, at best, he could entrust the ship to his command.

And Bai Xue seems to have forgotten about this, forgetting to hand over the command of the detachment to him.

However, the previous battles were obvious to everyone, not to mention that most of these people really had no experience in air and sea battles, and they were just new hands.

So although the captains and commanders of the windboat did not speak, after looking at each other in the communication screen, they actually acquiesced to this sentence.

Fang Yuan's hand holding the communication crystal was slightly sweaty, of course he didn't have much experience in commanding air and sea battles, but in terms of how to calm down and how to fight the enemy.

But it's what he's best at-

And it's not like he hasn't seen a battle on the empty sea, he has never eaten pork, he has always seen a pig run, he can't learn those complex tactics, and there is no problem with simple ones, right?

Fang Yu didn't speak, and the ships naturally aborted the order to counterattack, and about a few minutes later, the shadow man's fleet opened fire again. This salvo seemed to revise the target, and the shields of several windboats in the front row were immediately shattered, and when a ship was shot, flames immediately rose.

Although a few shells are not enough to sink a ship, if it goes on like this, they will almost certainly bring losses from the third salvo of the opponent. Everyone couldn't help but be a little nervous for a while, although the battle losses on the air sea were inevitable, but if they were beaten like this and didn't put pressure on the other party at all, their losses in the next round of shooting might be more serious than expected.

Even Momiji couldn't help but glance down at the time.

Someone in the communication channel couldn't help but say: "The interval between the opponent's two salvos is three minutes. ”

"There's still a minute and a half."

"Thirty seconds to prepare for fire, everybody......"

But at that moment, Fang Yu interrupted everyone with his mouth, he raised his hand and swiped down hard, ordering: "Fire, return fire!" ”

After a moment of silence, the entire fleet of the Chosen One suddenly erupted in a deafening roar.

In fact, after two volleys, the fleets of both sides were almost close to less than a chain of distances, and Fang Yuan could even clearly see the red light in the eyes of the nightmare furnace structures lined up on the side of the opposing ship.

And firing above this distance, it is impossible to not hit, and the Shadow Float Ships lack shield protection, and they are just ready for the next salvo, most of the energy storage crystals of the magic cannon fire have been transported from the ammunition depot and piled up on the gun deck.

As a result, it pierced the ship's plank, and the shells that passed through caused the greatest lethal effect almost instantly, and the outermost floating ships of the shadow people exploded in an instant, and the side sides turned into countless fragments in the brilliant sparks.

At least two or three ships had a huge cavity in their sides after the explosion, slowly capsizing with burning flames, and crashing below the clouds along with the structures on the deck.

The round of firing nearly blinded the Shadow Figures, making their return fire sporadic and sporadic as the green beams that flew by, posing little real threat to the Chosen One's fleet.

As for the loss of several ships, there was actually a huge gap in the formation of the Shadow Man's fleet, in fact, at this moment, there was no need for Fang Yu to give any more orders, nor did he need any combat experience in the air and sea-

Because the captain of every wind-building ship knows that this is their best chance to attack.
