Chapter 31: The Ghost Fleet (Part I)
In the dark sea, dark clouds swept in as if by magic, instantly obscuring the sky above the Theramore fleet. Gradually, in the depths of the dark sea, strange voices sounded.
Like a sad nocturne, like a ghost's cry, like a little girl's song...... The sounds mingled, and with the endless wind, Gianna sensed something was wrong. She hurriedly ordered the bow of the ship to be turned, "All retreat, withdraw from this sea!" ”
She shouted.
However, it was already too late. In the next second, just like when Gianna gave a loud order, thousands of waves suddenly broke off on the originally quiet sea, and the entire sea surface seemed to be stirred by a pair of invisible big hands, the huge waves on the sea surface rolled, and the sorrowful howls of countless ghosts came from below the sea surface. With this terrifying sound, one after another sunken huge ships rose from under the sea!
Not only Gianna, but all the sailors and soldiers were stunned by the scene in front of them.
The huge ghost fleet appeared out of thin air, as if it had been ambushed in advance, and one after another the ships sunk on the bottom of the sea tumbled out of the sea, some of the ghost ships even overturned the human warships above while freeing up the water, and some two ghost ships rose at the same time, sandwiching a human sea ship in the middle, and the black hole hole gun muzzle was aimed at the ship's side and cabin......
"Ghost Fleet ......"
Gianna screamed.
In an instant, the huge human combined fleet was smashed to pieces by the dead ships controlled by these undead, and the original neat and invincible warfleet was instantly destroyed to pieces.
Just as everyone panicked, swarms, rows of undead sailors crawled out of the ghost ship and pounced on the ships of Theramore and Kurtilas like a swarm of worms......
The scene in front of her made Gianna feel dizzy, no matter how powerful her spells were, they couldn't deal with the massive Scourge soldiers, and now, the ghost fleet surrounded her fleet again, surround the main warship group of Kurtiras. It's a conspiracy! The Scourge knew that Gianna was here, and that the most powerful fleet of humanity was here, so they sent some small and broken ships for the ships of Theramore and Kurtilas to bombard, and then used these broken ships to lead Gianna and her fleet to the sea where they had been ambushed in advance......
It dawned on Gianna, but some mistakes could be undone, and some mistakes could not. Now, for example, Gianna knows that there is no room for recovery at all.
With the sound of a deafening black cannon, the entire sea became the doomsday graveyard of the combined fleet of Kurtilas and Theramore......
The transports that were surrounded by ghost ships were directly subjected to merciless shelling, and dozens, if not hundreds, of shells smashed into the large transport ships of the Combined Fleet at the same time. Inside, not only tens of thousands of allied soldiers were carried, but also hundreds of tons of grain and fresh water......
And those coalition warships sandwiched between the ghost ships were directly occupied by the crazy army of the undead...... The ghost ship set up the battleship of Theramore, and the undead soldiers rushed directly to the opposite side through the ice bridge between the two ships...... The lichs even used frost magic to freeze the water around the coalition warships, and then the ghouls and undead soldiers stepped on the ice and climbed onto the coalition gunboats...... The gunboats were full of sailors and gunners, and there were no melee soldiers, and they were slaughtered directly by the army of the undead...... And the dead sailors were soon transformed into new zombies under the spell of the Lich, becoming members of the Scourge Legion......
Gianna was desperate...... Her tears fluttered in the air, poignant as an oil painting.
A ghost ship appeared in front of Gianna's flagship, and the raging waters lapped the giant battleship, lifting Gianna to the ground as she stood on deck. She fell to her knees unsteadily.
The next moment, the black muzzle of the cannon was aimed at Gianna on the deck......
"Her Majesty!"
The guard's eyes were red, but on the sloping deck, he couldn't grasp the queen's hand.
Looking at the dark cannon hole, for a moment, Gianna seemed to think of those days when she was in Lordaeron, in Dalaran, and in Gilneth, countless beautiful and warm pictures flashed in her mind. In her daze, she thought of Ares, of the sad and miserable faces of countless Lordaeron refugees...... And the simple gaze of the children......
Yes, people will die eventually, but not now.
In the darkness, Gianna raised her staff, and in the next second, the light blue light of magic spread out at a speed invisible to the naked eye, and at the same time, the undead cannonball spun violently in the barrel of the cannon.
A smug sneer appeared on the undead sailor's face, but, after only a moment, it could no longer laugh, and the high-speed disemboweling cannonball was intercepted by a powerful magical barrier as it flew towards Gianna. More than just interception, Gianna also cast an energy reflection, and the kinetic energy cast by all the shells was collected, exerting the opposite direction......
In an instant, it was at this moment that the cannonball flying towards Gianna was reflected back by the powerful spell shield, and the cannonball flew towards the ghost ship, smashed through the deck, smashed through the cabin, and smashed a large hole in the body of the undead gunner!
Gianna unleashed a ring of ice on herself once more, and she secured her feet to the deck and bravely stood up to face the threat of death. In front of her were hundreds of undead sailors, their bodies had rotted from long-term immersion in the seabed, their flesh was white, and various marine mollusks crawled around in their bodies, their dry hair sticking to their faces like noodles, looking disgusting. The undead sailor has limited mobility, but he does not know the pain......
They rushed to Gianna like beasts that had been hungry and thirsty for ten thousand years, seeing only their prey in front of them and ignoring all possible dangers, or they did not understand danger at all and simply obeyed their master's orders......
Gianna began to channel the fire spell. A bright ball of fireball bloomed in the palm of her hand, and as the spell accelerated, more fireballs sprang up and appeared behind her, these fireballs suspended in the air, obedient like the children of the archmage.
A large number of undead soldiers rushed across the ice bridge, and Gianna quickly chanted a powerful fire spell. The small fireballs suspended in the air seemed to have eyes, and they automatically flew towards the undead army on the ice...... In an instant, in front of Archmage Gianna, a dense wall of flames was formed, and all the undead soldiers who tried to pass through the wall of fire were burned to ashes......
And that's just the beginning...... A dark red glow appeared in the sky, and with the roar of thunder, the dense dark clouds overhead were pushed open a large hole, and meteorites wrapped in the embers of the flames fell from the sky. smashed straight into the undead ship opposite the archmage......
