Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Battle of the Fog
"Foggy?"
Prince Hans stood on the deck and looked around, and said in a deep voice, "Why is it foggy in such weather?" Lord Kenlodo! Excuse me to banish these fogs! ”
Standing next to Prince Hans was an old man in a robe, who nodded when he heard this, "Okay." This fog is a bit weird indeed. ”
A flash of magic emerged.
As the old man in front of him cast a spell, not to mention a gust of wind blew around him, blowing away the fog on the sea, but soon a new mist appeared, obscuring their vision, but it didn't look as dense as it began. The old man standing next to Prince Hans frowned visibly, and raised his hand to cast another spell, as if he was a high-level warlock, so he didn't need to memorize spells in advance. In general, wizards rarely memorize this type of spell.
"This fog doesn't come naturally!"
The high-ranking warlock named Kenlodo had a solemn expression and said in a deep voice, "It seems that something is summoning the mist. Your Royal Highness! We might have encountered some sea monsters! ”
Normal fog doesn't appear so weirdly on the surface of the sea, it's just this area.
There is also no geographical environment in the vicinity where mist is formed, so according to the speculation of the high-level warlock in front of him, the most likely thing is that there is a sea beast that can summon mist.
"Damn it!"
Prince Hans hammered the deck of the ship, and said slowly, "Why did a deep-sea monster suddenly run out of here?" So the battleship that disappeared yesterday and the Orion that disappeared today are all due to it? ”
The high-ranking warlock nodded lightly and said, "Very likely. If it was really the sea monsters that attacked them, I'm afraid they would all be unlucky. ”
Prince Hans nodded with a gloomy expression and said in a deep voice, "Can you kill it?" ”
The high-ranking warlock next to him pondered for a moment, then turned to the naval officer on the side, and after a few questions, he spoke, "Yes!" The Viku pirates had some whaling cannons on their ships. We also have some equipment on board that specializes in dealing with large sea creatures, and if we can find it, we should be able to take it out. ”
A smile appeared on Prince Hans's face, and he said in a deep voice, "But how do you find it?" ”
"It's on the sea, and if it's hiding at the bottom of the sea, we're afraid we can't do anything. Lord Kenlodo! Be sure to deal with this sea monster, or else our warship will be attacked, and this kind of thing will be a huge blow to our morale! ”
The high-level warlock hesitated for a moment, then said, "I'll give it a try." ”
A faint spell aura.
Immediately, an eye-like thing appeared in front of him, and the situation around the mist gradually became clear.
"Found it!"
A hint of excitement suddenly appeared on the face of the high-ranking warlock, and he said in a deep voice, "In front!" Sure enough, it's a deep-sea monster! ”
A huge black shadow.
Aura created through spells. The others present also saw a little trace, it was a very large black shadow, wandering on the bottom of the sea in front of it, the size was probably much larger than the largest blue whale, such a huge size did not need to be thought of as a deep-sea monster. A smile appeared on Prince Hans's face at the sight of the great shadow, but it quickly became solemn again, for such a monster was not so easy to deal with.
"Prepare for battle!"
The admiral next to him quickly gave the order and shouted: "Load the whaling cannon." Everyone is ready for battle! ”
The fog ahead had thinned out a bit.
With the orders of the admirals, the fleet was dispersed a lot, which made it possible to avoid being spilled over in the event of a battle. The fleet sails forward in a fan shape to deal with the giant sea monster. Tons of damage can only be done if you open up space. Due to some unknown energy mutations in this world, it may be related to the energy radiation of the Arcane Empire, and some mutated creatures often appear in the ocean area. The most common of these is the giant octopus, so the navies of these southern island nations have experience in dealing with sea monsters.
The calm sea seemed to be brewing some terrible storm.
A faintly large black shadow was locked by the Warlock's spell. Even Prince Hans, who was standing on the deck, was a little nervous, after all, it was not easy to deal with such a monster in the sea.
"Alert!"
The battleships scattered in front suddenly let out an exclamation, followed by a shout: "Enemy spotted!" It's Arendelle's Navy! Get ready for battle! Get ready for battle! ”
What the?!
Prince Hans looked up in surprise when he heard this. Then they saw a fleet with the flag of Arendel appear in front of them, and the number of the other side was significantly smaller than them, and it seemed that because of the fog in this sea, they did not find each other until the distance was closer. When he saw so many warships from the southern island nation in front of him, Arendelle's fleet also looked a little flustered, as if it was planning to turn around and retreat.
"Kill them!"
Prince Hans's expression was visibly excited, and he said in a deep voice, "Don't worry about that sea monster for the time being! As long as we don't provoke it, it shouldn't dare to attack so many people. ”
"Order the battleship to move at full speed! We destroy this Arendelle's fleet! ”
The other side.
A bearded general was also standing on top of a large warship, and when the fog near him gradually thinned, his face suddenly changed, and he said in a deep voice: "Not good! It's the fleet of the southern island nation! ”
"Oops."
"We've fallen into their trap."
The flares that lifted off today are all too obvious.
Even from afar in Arendelle, he saw it, and although he suspected that it might be a trap, he finally decided to lead the fleet over to see what was going on. In order to avoid being intercepted by the enemy, all he brought out this time were clippers, if it weren't for this strange fog, he should have seen the enemy's traces from a long distance, but because the fog obstructed the line of sight, they only discovered each other after the distance was closer. Therefore, the first reaction in his mind was to fall into the trap of the enemy.
Thundered!
The roar of cannons rang out.
The first ships to come within range fired continuously, and Viku Pirates' dragon ships rushed quickly, trying to get onto the enemy's deck. Only pirate clippers can catch up with them, and many of the fleets of the southern island nations are medium-sized warships with fierce firepower. However, Arendelle's fleet also reacted very quickly, and immediately turned the ship around and retreated with the general's order, and it seemed that it had no intention of engaging them.
In fact, there is no ability to fight at all.
If the battleship wants to increase its speed, it must give up firepower, most clippers do not even have half the gun fire of medium-sized battleships, and large warships like the Dragon Head battleship can be equipped with hundreds of cannons, so it can be said that even the Dead Whisperer may be destroyed in frontal naval battles. The battleship sent by Arendelle only had twenty-four cannons with the strongest firepower, and the counterfire was simply a life of being pressed. However, Arendelle also has their advantage, which is that Arendelle has a group of ice witches.
The fog grew thicker.
The Ice Witch seemed to have cast a spell to intensify the fog on the sea, leaving it gray fifty meters away.
A lot of the artillery fire hit the sea, Arendelle's fleet could only see a vague shadow, and the Viku pirates screamed and rushed into the fog, and when the distance was a hundred meters away, the navies of the southern island nations could not even see their pirate ships clearly.
"Don't fire!"
A naval officer stopped the gunner from loading ammunition and said with an ugly expression: "That group of idiots rushed up!" Now it's easy to accidentally injure them by firing! ”
The field of vision in front of you is already small.
The likelihood of inadvertently injuring allies is too high, and it is difficult to aim at the opponent unless the distance is reduced to a certain distance.
Meanwhile.
Just as the navy of the southern island nation was preparing to annihilate this Arendelle fleet, a huge black shadow slowly rose from the dark seabed. Near this huge shadow, a ghost ship gradually floated up, and the undead of the undrowned had a hideous smile on their faces, and swam up little by little under the cover of the mist.
The battle has just begun!
The unexpected appearance of Arendelle's fleet did not affect Sauron's plans.
