Chapter 47: Rounding Up the Ghost
In a sea area south of the Pearl Islands, a sea fleet slightly smaller than Trina's fleet is breaking the waves at sea.
This is exactly one of the two fleets that Assino organized to round up the ghost fleet. The two fleets were led by Arsinoe and his cousin Suniga, respectively, and although the individual fleets were slightly inferior in combat power to Trina's fleet, they together surpassed her by a large number of them. Because the whereabouts of the ghost fleet are erratic and fast, although Asino can sense the general location of the ghost fleet, it has been used by the terrain and climate several times in a row to escape.
So Arsino split his fleet in two two days ago, and prepared to block the ghost fleet in a place called the Strait of Solhi. Coincidentally, the Shining Shell was a two-petaled artifact that could be split in half, and Arsino gave one of them to Suniga, so that they each carried one petal, and even if they collided with the ghost fleet alone, they would have the strength to fight.
Arsino is also a merfolk archmage. He looked slightly older than Trina, and by human standards, he had a handsome and resolute look on the right side of his face, but the left side of his face was a little oozing, with several large scars from his forehead to his left cheek, his eyebrows twisted like snakes, his eyes had disappeared, and his eyelids were glued together, completely ruining the beauty of the face.
If it were a human, it might cover half of its face with a mask, but the Sea Clan took this scar as a glory.
This is the scar left by his early years of fighting against human armies, and during that great battle with the southern city-states, he lost his father and was seriously wounded himself. As a result, among the many tribal leaders of the Sea Clan, he is the most misanthropic of humans. He fought against the southern city-states and never left prisoners.
Asino sat in his room, there was a conch and a compass on the table in front of him, and one of his hands was on the conch, the conch emitted a magical fluorescence, this conch was called the ghost conch, from the darkest and darkest place under the sea, and had the effect of connecting souls. Now Asino is using it to track down the two Sea Clan souls on the ghost ship. Through his sense of the soul, he looked for the direction of the ghost ship by comparing the directions on the compass.
There was also a Naga guard with six knives on his side, who kept telling the captain the direction he had reported, asking the captain to adjust the direction and pursue the ghost fleet.
"Give a signal to the ships behind. We're about to catch up with the ghost ship. Have all the boats speed up as fast as possible. Asino looked up and said, "The Mother Sea is indeed for our sea people, the storm in the east has driven them to a dead end, and the west is full of reefs, and we have finally blocked them in the Strait of Solhi. ”
"Yes. Lord Arsinoe. The Naga Guardian wriggled the snake and swam out of the room quickly.
Asino applied a levitation spell on himself and came to the deck. From here, you can already see the land on both sides of the strait visible on the horizon.
The Strait of Solhi is a narrow strip of sea between two large islands that are very close to each other. Unlike the Sea Clan's ships, which are pushed by a large number of scale slaves, the ghost ship can easily change direction, and naturally slow down when it reaches the mouth of the strait. So, with this terrain advantage, it was inevitable that Asino would catch up with the ghost ship. What's more, on the other side of the strait, Suniga has rushed to the exit of the strait, and the ghost ship has nowhere to escape.
As far as Asino looked from the deck, he could already faintly see the sterns of the two ghost ships. He was a little proud, this was the result of a month of tracking down, through bait and drive, constantly changing the course of the other party, driving them to such a dead place.
"Lord Arsinoe, the order has been delivered. Naga Guardian reports.
Arsino turned his head to look behind him, and all the ships puffed up their sails and followed at a faster pace.
Half an hour later, the ghost ship had appeared at the entrance to the strait, and Asino could clearly see the heavy figures on the ships ahead.
"It's weird stuff. He frowned. There are more than a dozen ghost ships in total, and it seems that two of them are human-style ships, and the rest are sea tribe-style. On every ship, there are sailors who operate the rudder and control the sails, but these people are translucent, and their images are the same as they were when they were alive, but they give the impression of a lack of real existence.
"My lord, what's going on with these humans and the Sea Clan?" asked Asino's guard.
"The soul is embodied. I really don't know how the Ghost Queen did it. Asino muttered.
The ghosts seemed to turn a blind eye to his fleet, neither panicked nor feared, all the ghosts were always doing their thing as if they could not see the enemy.
Arcino pulled out the shining shell and prepared to unleash the power of the artifact when the ship got closer.
At this time, the ghosts on the ship in front of them moved, and they looked up at Arsino's fleet at the same time, and then some of the ghosts stepped towards the fleet of the Sea Clan. They reached the edge of the deck without stopping, stepping on the air and continuing in the direction of Arsino. The appearance of more than a hundred ghosts walking in the air really frightened many Sea Clan warriors, none of them had really fought with the ghost ship, and now the strange scene of the other party's attack was somewhat beyond their imagination. The speed of Arsino's fleet slowed down a few points before he knew it.
Arsinore said to the captain of the flagship, "Don't be afraid, it's just some unconscious soul. When they get any closer, I'll destroy them with the Hallows. ”
The souls swayed close together like scattered catkins, not looking fast, but in the blink of an eye, they were close enough to see their faces. Asino and his soldiers saw the expressions of these souls, each one stagnant and distorted, as if they had seen something extremely terrifying in their lives, and then fixed their faces in that moment.
These people either have their mouths open, their eyes bulging, and even twist their heads and necks into unnatural positions.
Arsino's heart jumped at the sight of these strange faces, and his subordinates began to talk about the terrible appearance of these ghosts, and the ship was full of commotion sounds.
Asino took a deep breath, held the shining shell high in his hand, and was ready to urge the spiritual power to inject the half of the shell, so that these ghosts disappeared, but he didn't expect these ghosts to suddenly put their hands around their mouths and let out a scream in unison.
