Chapter 50 of the Finale: Meteor Hammer and Fire Beetle
"Fire attack, but ......"
Look at the crumbling battleships around them, the soldiers and sailors who are still fighting bloodily on the ships, and then look at the arrogant Karaken Legion. The "Silver Snake" general Holgen Ilyich, who has always been known for his quick decisions and led the Lion Mercenary Group to miraculous victories one after another, hesitated at this time.
Taking the advice of the alchemist and using fire on the sea and on his own ships would probably bring disaster to the fleet, but if it didn't take fire and attack it, it was only a matter of time before the fleet was overwhelmed by the endless flow of Karaken. Faced with such a dilemma, Holking actually hesitated.
But after this brief hesitation, the situation is taking a sharp turn for the worse!
Two more warships disintegrated and sank under the violent dismantling of Karaken. Although the two battleships were only small frigates with a small crew on them, the continuous sinking of the battleships was an extremely serious blow to the morale of the army. At this point in the battle, although the warriors did kill many Karaken, the number of soldiers killed was even higher, and Holkin also noticed that a bloodied Pegasus with a broken wing fell from the sky, and two seconds later, its knight elves followed suit, both falling into the crimson sea.
The blue blood of the elves spilled out, but it was quickly diluted in the blood-red waters.
Having lived in the territory of the natural elves for a period of time, Holking knew very well that the elven Pegasus knights had extremely strong combat effectiveness, and if even such a strong elven warrior was killed, how severe would the situation in the sky be?
Holkin looked up and was surprised to see that a huge float ship disintegrated in the air, and countless pieces of the float ship were scattered from the sky. The dozens of magicians aboard the hapless floating spaceship fell from the sky screaming, and although a few of the high-level magicians cast flying or floating magic in time to avoid falling to their deaths, they were quickly caught by the harpy who flew by and then shredded......
"It's over......" Holkin muttered inwardly.
He hurriedly lowered his head to avoid letting the subordinates around him see his sighing appearance. Such an extreme crisis situation was a tragic battle that Holking and his Lion Mercenary Regiment, as well as his previous service in the former Pole army, had never experienced before. If this continues, whether it is a fight or a flight, it is only a matter of time before the entire army is annihilated, and surrender is even more impossible, they are not facing a conscientious human army, but a group of ferocious cannibal monsters, and surrender will only become the monster's ration in the end.
Since no matter what, you can't escape the fate of destruction, so before you die, drag a few more monsters to accompany the funeral, it is not in vain, even if you go to the Yellow Springs together, you have the capital to brag about each other!
With this in mind, Holking finally made up his mind! He raised his head, and his eagle eyes were full of resolute determination.
"Convey the order to the captains of all battleships. Holkin ordered the flag commander standing on the mast lookout, "Let all the crew prepare the oil and explosives for battle, and burn these monsters with fire!" After a pause, Holkin gritted his teeth and said, "I'd rather be broken than broken!"
"Yes!" replied the bannerman.
As an ordinary soldier, he also knew what fate would happen to the entire fleet—including himself—once he conveyed this order to the other warships. But he did not flinch, nor did he run away, but raised the two flags in his hands and responded to the trust of the commander with firm actions.
However, before he could play the flag, there was a sudden screaming "throw", and an astonishing momentum from behind made it impossible to hold the flag in his hand steadily, and the flag in his left hand fell.
An arc of fire could then be seen flying from the back of the fleet, flying over the heads of the ships, and when it flew over the most heavily eroded battleship at the front, the firelight exploded into a dozen small fireballs, each of which turned around and automatically tracked and crashed into a Karaken on the deck.
"Wow quack quack ......"
On the deck, a dozen Karaken scurried around with flames all over their bodies. Karaken is not a painless monster at all, at least they are extremely sensitive to the burning of fire, which proves that the flame is indeed Karaken's nemesis. And the flames that fell from the sky were so precise that they only hit Karaken, not hurting the humans who were scuffling nearby, nor did they fall on the swaying deck and huge sails.
The flames stuck to Karaken's exterior and seemed to have a special reaction with the smooth mucus layer that covered Karaken's body, imprisoning and burning Karaken like a fiery torture instrument, and the flames burned from the outside in, from the smooth mucus layer to the blue-black muscles, then into the internal organs, and finally into the bones.
In less than ten seconds, Karaken, who was on fire and running wildly, all collapsed, burned to the point that there were no bones left, leaving only piles of black ash coals. What's even more bizarre is that after those flames burned the flesh and bones of Karaken's body, they were naturally extinguished, and did not affect the nearby human soldiers, even the wooden deck was not burned, but only left a strip of scorch marks on the deck that led to the fire passing by, and those scorch marks were very shallow, which did not seriously affect the durability of the deck.
The soldiers on the battleship were dumbfounded one by one, knowing that in the bitter battle of the battle, they tried their best and paid great sacrifices to eliminate a small number of "skinning frogs."
Before the soldiers could recover from their surprise, they only heard the continuous whistling sound of "Lose Lose Lose Dump", and only saw more than 20 fires flying from behind the fleet, and when they rushed to the sky above the battleship in front, each firelight would split into more than a dozen small fireballs, like a baptism of meteor fire!
Each small fireball hits a Karaken. For a time, hundreds of Karaken turned into hundreds of fireballs in the screams, and the ships fled in all directions, and wherever they went, the crew avoided them and watched them burn to ashes, while some Karaken jumped into the sea and tried to extinguish the flames on their bodies with seawater, but this was a futile act, because the flames burned from the outside in, and even in the water, these burning Karaken could not escape the fate of "cremation".
"Lose Lose Lose Lose ......"
The third wave of flames was soon coming, and this time there were more fires flying than the second, at least 40 to 50 flames. And with the previous experience, some sharp-eyed crew members can also clearly see the "true face of Lushan" of the fires that were rescued in time.
The flames that broke through the sky were actually burning meteor hammers, and behind the meteor hammers were dragged iron chains that were also bathed in flames, as if pulling out a long flame tail in the air. When these flaming meteor hammers reach the position they should have reached, the large sphere of the meteor hammer will explode, splitting out a dozen small bamboo dragonflies from it, and small flaming iron balls hanging from under the propeller, automatically tracking and attacking Karaken as they constantly adjust their flight path.
"Too ...... It's so timely!"
Looking at those flaming meteor hammers and bamboo dragonflies that looked like divine soldiers, Holgen Ilyich was deeply relieved, but fortunately, the banner commander did not have time to send out his order to burn the jade in the flag, and it seemed that things were far from reaching the point of complete despair.
