Chapter Eighty-Six: The Battle of the Falling Tide (I)

With Jaquia's leadership, the Sharktooth Sirens are rekindled, and they suddenly remember that even if they don't rely on sharks, they are the proud hunters of the father of sharks. And the hunters are not content to run in all directions. At first, they imitated Jaquia's use of his companion's corpse as a cover, and then each relied on his own skills to find a way out, and the balance of the battle gradually returned. So the witches who were laughing and wielding their magic power until now began to feel the pressure, although the battle loss ratio between the Kraken and the witch was still huge and exaggerated, but there was a gap in the number of the two sides themselves. The Heartless Witch Order is a fairly large witch group, but there are no more than a hundred members in it, and no more than one-fifth of the veterans can appear here as mature warriors. With each loss of a companion, the witches' faces became gloomy. But they can't back down, because this battle is about the future of the Witch Order.

"Strike in small groups and cover each other!' is not the time to go your separate ways!" shouted the leading witch, and two or three of her companions, who were more familiar to her, quickly approached. The same happened to the other witches, who formed a team of three or four people with broomsticks, with the sorceress in front of them causing damage and the witches in the rear keeping their companions and themselves safe. This tactic is also the most common and effective response for witches when faced with adverse situations.

The hunters lurking beneath the surface of the sea once again ushered in their prey, only this time both sides were on guard, and it was difficult to have a clear victory or defeat as in the previous rounds. If I had to say, some young krakens could not restrain their impulses or did not know the power of witches' spells, so they rushed out of the water, and ended up either missing hands and feet or killing them on the spot, but again, compared to the witches, the number of shark-toothed krakens was superior, and these casualties were not worth mentioning compared to the part that was killed at the beginning.

Jaquia lurked again, looking up at the enemy in the sky, trying to find their weakness. But the Kraken's sensitivity to currents made her realize something else, and almost at the same time, an uneasy voice began to sound among the Kraken, "The tide is receding." "The tide is ebbing, which is undoubtedly very bad news. It stands to reason that it will take some time for a tsunami of this magnitude to engulf a town to recede, at least four or five days or even ten and a half months. But the tides in this area of Heartless Bay are volatile and regular, and although the size and interval of each tsunami are different, they all have one thing in common: extremely fast ebb tides. In the words of local sailors, the waters in this ghost place receded ten times faster than they came.

The Kraken is a species that lives on the sea, just as humans always have their feet on the ground. And if the earth trembles and is unbalanced, even the most clever warrior will inevitably lose his proportion. Jaquia knew this, and the ebb tide would bring the newly deadlocked battle back into the witch's pace. The sharktooth hunters, who are carried back to the sea by the tide, are simply unable to resist the pursuit of the enemy, and the casualties will be extremely heavy. She couldn't accept such a future, so she had to make an attempt to break the deadlock at this moment, or at least turn the rout into a retreat.

But what to do? The witches flew high in the air, and if they didn't approach the surface of the sea, the sharktooth hunter's attack would be difficult to hit. These cowards, they don't dare to fight the proud Krakens in close combat, they only dare to sit on those sticks, wait, sit on the sticks?Jaquia realized that the biggest advantage of the other side in this war could very well become their greatest disadvantage, and thinking of this, she immediately looked around, wanting to see if there was anything that could come in handy.

The sea is eerily calm. The witches carefully kept their distance from the sea, their spells were not unconsumed, and proper rest was necessary. Moreover, after the first few rounds of battles, it would be wrong to say that these spellcasters did not have the slightest fear of the Kraken's fierceness to death, and for the witches, it would be a huge loss for the witches to exchange their lives with these lowly fishmen, even if they exchanged hundreds. But the stakes are high, and they have to fight, so how can they protect themselves in the battle? The answer is simple, they don't need to dodge every attack of the Kraken, they just need to let others stand between them and the Kraken. The witches of the same squad began to use their eyes and words to suggest that their companions swap places, and the defenders who provided protection became a duty that everyone wanted to fight for. This is also something that cannot be helped, the individuality of witches gives them unique abilities, and it will inevitably cause difficulties when working together.

Eventually, the issue was resolved by the witch who had previously proposed the squad's action. Her method is to swap positions in the squad after each dive, and this rotation system is also a helpless move, the witch who plays the front will not attack the enemy with all their strength in this situation, they will only want to complete the round of attacks as soon as possible and quickly change to a safe position, while the guard is completely opposite. As a result, the impact of the witches has dropped significantly, and their attacks are no longer a threat to the Kraken who is trying to dodge. Then the counterattack should begin.

"Sharktooth warriors, success or failure is here, we can't live up to Father Shark's expectations and kill them!" Jaquia was riding on top of a shark, and behind her was the shark's true partner. The Huntress holds a blade in her right hand and a strange object of seaweed and stone in her left hand, which is also in the hands of other Sirens who ride on the back of a shark like Jaquia. Hearing Jaquia's declaration, all the riders showed solemn expressions, and they raised their weapons and bared their teeth as a way to show their determination.

"Listen, all the riders dive back into the deep sea immediately after the charge. The Strangler is in position at the surface of the sea and retreats as soon as he completes the kill. The low tide is about to happen, and this is our last chance to make those guys pay for what they have done!" Jaquia responded to dozens of figures with weapons in their mouths and swimming to the surface together.

At the same time, the witches above the sea also saw these approaching enemies. "I don't know what to live or die, sisters!In the name of the Witches, in the name of the Great Witch!Let these ugly monsters understand who is the master of this land!" The light of magic bloomed directly above the flooded city called Heartless Bay. The witches on the broomsticks lowered the brims of their hats, ready to begin the final round of confrontation.
