Chapter 494: A New Ionian Warship
On the way to the port, the survivors and soldiers of Noxus are being chased by the undead. With great difficulty, the large forces at the front fled to the ports on the east coast, but the soldiers in charge of the delay in the rear were sparsely killed.
Looking at the soldiers who numbered less than a hundred, the weakened Caterina sat wearily on the stones by the side of the road with Tyrone's support.
Darius and Caterina's serpentine sister, Cassiopeia, stood by and stared at the surviving paupas with complicated eyes. Plus the soldiers, there are only more than 200 people left.
As much as they are reluctant to believe it, the facts are in front of them. Under the invasion of Shadow Island, Noxus, one of the most prosperous countries on the original continent, has completely declined.
They were even rescued by the once invaded Ionia, which can be regarded as the greatest shame for them. But they had to accept Ionia's aid, which was the most helpless.
At this time, Irelia took Ye Feng to the four of them. She said directly: "I'm almost rested, it's time to get on the boat, otherwise the sacrifices of those soldiers and poor people before will be meaningless."
Caterina had already suffered a lot in the previous battle, and Tyrone, who was supporting her, frowned and said, "Miss, she hasn't slept since the blood moon came, so let her rest more......"
Before the word "breath" could be spoken, Tyrone was stunned and met with Katarina's angry eyes.
"Tyrone, I don't need to rest, it's important to retreat now!"
As she spoke, in order to prove that she still had the strength, Caterina pushed Tyrone away and tried to walk on her own feet, but before she could take a few steps, she stumbled and fell.
Fortunately, Tyrone caught her quickly, otherwise she would faint on the spot if she fell again in her current weak state.
"Since my sister agrees to Irelia's request, we will do what she wants, Tyrone, please carry my sister and her on the boat."
"Yes, Second Miss!"
Tyrone replied respectfully, and seeing that Caterina did not have the slightest objection, he worriedly carried Caterina behind him and walked towards a huge warship docked in the harbor. Cassiopeia and Darius were in charge of organizing the survivors to board the ship.
Seeing the survivors of Noxus boarding the ship one after another, Irelia and Ye Feng glanced at each other, and also embarked on the huge warship.
Looking at these displaced Noxian refugees, Irelia also felt a lot of emotion, a year ago she was still leading troops to fight against the invasion of Noxus, but now she is carrying out a plan to rescue Noxian survivors, it is really fate.
She let out a long sigh, and then said seriously: "Ye Feng, I'll go back to the belly of the ship to remind the Ionian soldiers not to be hostile to the Noxians on the ship, you can see what is happening nearby on the deck, and if you find the undead, immediately notify the people in the bow wheelhouse to go to sea!"
"Don't worry, I'm watching from above!" Ye Feng patted his chest and motioned to Irelia not to worry.
Irelia also pursed her lips and smiled, and walked towards the belly of the ship.
Ye Feng glanced at the Noxian refugees who were standing scattered on the deck, and then moved his gaze to the port, staring intently at everything on the shore, and he would be aware of the slightest disturbance.
Someone suddenly patted him on the back, Ye Feng turned his head in astonishment, and saw that it was Xavier. He laughed, "Sivir, didn't you sleep in the cabin room?" How did it come out? ”
Sivir didn't reply, but dragged Ye Feng to a corner where no one was around. Sitting down with Ye Feng, she silently rested on his shoulder, looking at the sea that was integrated with the night of the blood moon, and fluttered.
Looking at Sivir, who had been silent since Ruiz's death, Ye Feng stroked her hair distressedly, and said softly: "You are not at all like you before now, you have no vitality at all."
His eyelashes fluttered slightly, and Sivir's eyes shimmered with a faint light that he couldn't see clearly. She slammed her lower lip, but remained silent.
"When we go to sea, we still have to eat the food we should eat, you know?"
A gloomy look filled his eyes, and Sivir frowned slightly, but nodded silently. Because it will definitely be Ye Feng who will feed her, if she doesn't eat, she will be bullied by him again.
Since both horizontal and vertical are eating, even if she loses her appetite, she still chooses to obey Ye Feng.
Seeing that Sivir was easier for people to contact than a few days ago, Ye Feng was overjoyed and encouraged: "When you get to Ionia, there are many of your acquaintances there, I believe you will get better soon!"
One of the refugees on the deck suddenly screamed, "It looks like someone on the shore is going this way!"
The strange scream immediately drew the attention of everyone on deck, and Darius motioned for the refugees and Noxian soldiers to quiet down, while he made his way to the cabin to inform Irelia.
Sivir leaned on Ye Feng's shoulder blankly, indifferent, unconcerned about everything that was happening around him. Ye Feng motioned for her to sit back next to her first, and walked to the side of the boat alone.
Looking in the direction of the shore, Ye Feng could vaguely see a vague silver-white figure walking towards him.
As the figure got closer and closer, Ye Feng gradually saw the face of the person who came. The moment he saw it clearly, his pupils shrank slightly, and a sense of crisis rose from his heart.
Because the figure that wandered was not a human at all, but Mordekaiser, one of the former four demons of the Shadow Island.
Maudekaiser leisurely carried a massive war hammer forged from souls, apparently not wanting them to flee Noxus like this.
His face darkened instantly, Ye Feng first went to the bow of the ship to inform the Ionian crew at the helm to leave immediately, and then ordered the refugees and Noxian soldiers on the deck to avoid the cabin first, and then pulled Sivir, who did not have the slightest sense of crisis, to the side of the ship and looked at Maude Caesar on the shore in the distance.
"Sivir, don't worry, I'll protect you this time!"
Ye Feng pulled Xavier to the side of the ship to look at Maude Caesar in the distance, originally intending to arouse Xavier's fighting spirit. But when he saw that Sivir was still gloomy, he knew that it would be a long time before she could recover. After all, Reze was the mentor who raised Xavier, and to her was like a father. No matter how clever she was in Sheville, she couldn't have come out of this shadow all at once.
However, Ye Feng believes that a smart girl like Xavier will definitely be easier to figure out and get out of the shadows than he is in trouble.
Thinking about it, Ye Feng was no longer in a hurry to let Xavier recover for a while, he took her hand and wanted to walk to the cabin.
Irelia stepped out of the cabin just in time, followed by Caterina who was being supported by Tyrone, as well as Cassiopeia and Darius.
She said to Ye Feng with a solemn face: "Ye Feng, Xiwei, you wait first, before the ship is completely away from the port, a few of us will wait and see the situation on the side of the ship together, do you see who the person on the shore is?"
Ye Feng said with an embarrassed face: "Mord Caesar, one of the top four demons of Shadow Island, has the strength of a god, we can't be his opponent!"
God! Their luck is too bad, right? At such a time, I actually encountered a demon of the same level as Soraka!
The people on the Noxus side were also the same as Ye Feng, and their faces were gloomy one after another because of the arrival of Mordekaisa.
Irelia didn't panic too much when she heard Ye Feng's words, but said calmly: "The warship we are sitting on now is different from the previous warships, not only the size and capacity have become larger, but also the gun bay."
Irelia's words immediately reminded Caterina of Sarah's Cynon, the newly appointed Pirate Queen of Bilgewater.
The cannon bay and the equipment inside are all unique to Bilgewater, how could Ionia have it? With such a question in mind, she asked, "Gun cabin?" Isn't that a technology that only Bilgewater has? I've heard that Bilgewater's new pirate queen Sarah's Cyne has gun bays, and the cannons in the side hatches have the power of a demigod strike, and the huge barrel of the bow can fire a blow worthy of a god-level existence. ”
Irelia explained, "We have a boatman in Ionia who went to Bilgewater to learn the art of the gun bay, and this is a magnificent ship that he designed, and it is a fight with Bilgewater's Cynon."
Can the ship they are riding on now compete with the combat power of the Sairen? Caterina frowned, obviously in disbelief.
However, looking at Irelia's serious expression, she couldn't help but feel that Irelia didn't need to make such a joke at such a dangerous moment.
Taking a deep breath, Caterina continued, "So what do you have to do to get that Mordecaesar to eat the cannon?"
"This ......" Irelia rubbed her eyebrows and said helplessly, "I haven't thought about it either."
The others were also silent for a while, how could a demon like Mordekaiser be stupid enough to eat god-level cannon shells?
Sivir opened his gray eyes, looked at the worried Ye Feng, and finally spoke: "Just use the bow of the ship to face Maudekaiser, open the hatch in front of him, expose the body of the giant cannon, and fire the cannon."
Xavier's words immediately attracted the attention of Irelia and the others, except for Ye Feng who believed her judgment, everyone else expressed doubts.
Seeing that they didn't believe him, Sivir continued: "You see that his steps are very leisurely, obviously he is a little arrogant and arrogant in the face of our people, and he doesn't believe that we can hurt him, so he takes advantage of his blind confidence and lets him taste the god-level cannon, we can only gamble, otherwise there is no chance to escape."
After her explanation, Irelia and the others also realized that they could only trust Sivir to gamble, otherwise they would lose their last chance of survival.
Irelia immediately stood on the side of the ship and shouted: "The crew in the bow operation room immediately turned around and pointed the bow at the man on the shore, and the Ionian soldiers in the gun cabin immediately opened the hatch in the bow of the ship, and when the gun was aimed at the demon on the shore, they fired the cannon directly!"
With her command, the ship slowly turned around as the Ionian soldiers steered it, and the bow hatch was opened, revealing a huge cannon port.
Mordecaesar, on the shore, had already reached the dock, and a contemptuous sneer appeared on his face when he saw the bow of the warship pointed at him and peeked out of the muzzle.
He'd occasionally seen such ships on a trip to Bilgewater to harvest souls on the Night of the Eclipse of Souls, but the cannon power of those ships couldn't even hurt his former demigod peak body. The largest cannon power encountered was just comparable to the power of ordinary demigods.
His strength now is even different from the past, and he doesn't care about this cannon made by humans.
"Since you still have hope, let me personally extinguish your greatest hope!"
Looking at the huge cannon coming out of the bow cannon, Maudekaiser stood in place like that, not even opening the defensive shield, with a relaxed expression on his face.
The moment the cannon struck Maudecaesar's body, the smile on his face gradually froze, and was replaced by an incredulous look, and finally transformed into a furious look.
The cannon, which was originally powerless, burst with unimaginable power the moment it hit Mordekaiser.
The gunpowder continued to decompose and burst, blooming with bursts of dazzling white light, and for a time the gray night was illuminated as day.
Immediately after that, the temperature of Maudekaisa's area continued to rise at a terrifying rate, and the black smoke filled the air, turning into layers of mushroom clouds that soared into the sky.
Seeing this scene, Irelia and the others all showed happy looks. They were about to thank Sivir for the idea, but they found that Sivir was no longer on deck, and thought that they had gone back to their cabin room to rest.
Without much thought, Irelia immediately ordered the crew at the bow of the ship to quickly leave the harbor and head for Ionia at full speed.
When Ionia's new warship had long since disappeared from the shoreline, the mushroom cloud on the shore slowly dispersed, revealing the slightly embarrassed figure of Maude Caesar.
Coughing violently, Maudecaesar lowered her head and looked at her blackened body, a nameless anger burning in her heart, but there was nowhere to vent.
