119.Dawn's Expedition (4)
When Asa fired the third arrow of the Holy Light, the vampire's forces finally couldn't hold on anymore and were ready to retreat. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info It's just a small price to pay for getting here safely, and unlike on land, the Dawn Guards, who are bound by ships, can't pursue the enemy further.
Even so, most of the Dawnguard soldiers, who hate the vampires, are like the orc Dulac, cursing at the retreating vampires while constantly pressing the trigger of Sonia's newly developed Enhanced Dwarven Crossbow on the bow deck. Even if the vampires had retreated beyond range, they still didn't stop, but fortunately, the Dawn Guard now had plenty of logistics and ammunition, and this kind of anger was not stopped.
"Don't let your guard down! It's just a skirmish! When Islaon saw that Durak had calmed down, he shouted, and the soldiers, who had been slightly relieved after venting, were startled, and the reinforced dwarven crossbow that had been put down was quickly raised again.
"Islam, something isn't right!" The man who spoke at this time was named Seran, one of the leaders of the Dawn Guard, and had previously been a vigilant of Stendhal along with Islam, but both of them had left together due to dissatisfaction with some of the Vigilant organization's work style. But in the end, the two of them parted ways, after all, Islam basically didn't say he was easy to get along with, except for Dianster and Decion. However, when Seran learned that the Dawn Guard was recruiting, he still did not hesitate to join the Dawn Guard, and was one of the first self-made veterans to follow Islam. Usually in charge of guiding the tactical drills of recruits in the dawn guard, he is one of Islaon's tactical think tanks, and at this time, when he opened his mouth, many people around him were also immediately vigilant.
"Indeed, they withdrew decisively, and apparently there is a back-up move." Islaon's statement also coincided with Asa's, after all, it was only dawn, and the vampires retreated decisively before the power of Aureel's bow and the Holy Light Elven arrow was fully displayed, and the meaning of temptation was obvious.
"The order is given, and the ships immediately count the losses and casualties! Treat wounded soldiers and get rid of diseases. How many people can return to the battlefield before the decisive battle, how many people can return to the battlefield! ”
"Yikes! Isn't that the island where the Valchiha Castle you said you were talking about!? At this time, Dianster, who had just shown his might and won the throne of the first person to kill the number of enemies in this battle, suddenly pointed to the island in the distance and shouted with a slight outline.
Islaon hurriedly took out a monocular from his body to take a closer look, and after a while, he gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "Good fellow! Are you finally willing to show your true colors!? Everyone, the highest level of alert! Ceran! You pass the order down and speed up the logistics and medical treatment! I can't give them much time! ”
"You know, you have to be careful, I have a bad premonition!" After solemnly saying this, Seran immediately went down to give the order, in fact, he didn't need to explain, where could there be a little slackness on Islaon's face? Especially after he saw through his telescope what was going on on the island at the moment.
"Asa, go get Serana out!" After Isla let the people around him return to his post, he whispered to Asa, because Asa's Bow of Oriel and Dianaster's Daybreak Sword belong to the Holy Light attack of the large-range and small-range invincible self-recognition function respectively in the characteristics of this kind of open-air battlefield, Serana can't always wear the shield of Aureel, so despite the excitement of life and death outside, the eldest lady still stays in the cabin honestly, At this point, Islaon called her out, apparently because he wanted to consult her, the only person in the know, about vampires.
Asa quickly led the eldest lady to the deck, and Isla was not polite, and handed them a monocular to the two of them, "In terms of magic, one of you is the chief of Wintercastle and the other is a vampire expert, you take a good look, what are those people on the island doing!?" ”
Through the lenses of the telescope, the two quickly saw the opposite island: a group of vampires chanting magic.
Asa and Serana temporarily put down their binoculars and exchanged glances, and Islaon knew that the situation on the other side was not good, but he didn't rush to ask questions and quietly waited for the two of them to raise their binoculars again to confirm the situation.
"It's kind of ...... How so...... Weird? Asa seemed to be unable to phrase his words for a moment, and his right hand rubbed heavily on his chin.
"What kind of magic are they using?" Instead of urging Asa, Isla looked at Serana, who seemed to have some clues. "I've never seen magic chanting for so long."
"It's a ...... Rather ancient frost magic, with a large range but low lethality. Serana was very direct about her understanding of the situation at hand, and straight to what Islaon should be most concerned about right now. But when she said this, Islain didn't understand how Asa could say such a strange comment.
"Isn't that easy? Why do you say it's weird? ”
"Because as far as I know, this magic chant is quite long, but it definitely hasn't grown to this extent!" Asa's knowledge of this ancient magic, known as Blizzard, was limited to paper, as his destruction spells had only just reached the expert level. But knowing less doesn't mean not knowing enough, just now in order to confirm that the other party is indeed chanting the magic spell of [Blizzard], Asa also specially blessed himself with [Clairvoyance], but after confirming, it is even more strange, the reason is exactly what I said above - the chanting time is too long!
"And based on the flow of their mana, they don't plan to shoot magic directly in this direction." Serana added, and Islaon immediately asked, "Towards where?" ”
"It should be towards the water...... That's why I say it's weird. Don't they think there's enough sea ice here? Not thick enough...... Yes!!! Asa suddenly exclaimed, then picked up the telescope again and began to observe, and after a while, he muttered, "I see? But what are they trying to do? ”
"What do you think?" This time it was Serana who asked the question, and the eldest lady was also very curious about the strange behavior of the vampires.
"I just figured out maybe we were trying to get it too complicated, they just wanted to freeze the sea all over here." Asa said his inner guess, but this idea has to be said to be a bit bizarre, although this is considered a near sea, it is always the sea, and the rivers and lakes are not the same level, how easy is it to rely on manpower to freeze? Besides, even if the other side can really do it, what's the point?
Want to freeze their five ships here? What do you want to do?
"Yikes!! It's really frozen!! At this time, Dianster made a new discovery, and the girl saw that Serana didn't need a telescope for the time being, so she borrowed it and fiddled with it, but she didn't expect to see action on the other side at once. However, contrary to Asa's guess, the opposite side did not seem to have the intention of freezing the fleet on this side, and about the middle of the distance between the two sides at this time, the artificial ice field stopped spreading.
