Chapter 2847: The Beginning of the Machine's Power
On the one hand, there were many high-ranking people who came this time, and the lowest level was the cardinal, and they felt that with so many masters, no matter how strong the enemy was, they could sweep away them in one fell swoop. In their minds, as long as they hold on for a little longer, they may be able to get strong support from the senior masters. It is precisely because of this that they have the confidence to continue the pursuit. On the other hand, they serve as supreme leaders. It bears an unshirkable responsibility for this war. The start was unfavorable, with heavy casualties. If they retreat at this time, they will not only lose the opportunity to show themselves in front of the top management, but also how will they explain themselves after they go back? From this point of view, it will be difficult for them to ride a tiger. Even if you know you can't do it, you have to do it.
The sudden attack of the icicles inevitably seriously slowed down their pursuit, but fortunately, they responded decisively, so they could still see many small black dots in front of them vaguely. In the middle of the sea, there is nothing to shelter. For a moment, the cardinals were not worried about losing track of their enemies.
The speed between the two sides seems to be about the same. As a result, the pursuing party cannot shorten the distance between the opponent and the fleeing party cannot get rid of the opponent. One chased, one fled, and for a long time there was no incident, and there was no fighting. This made the people of the Church of Light somewhat relieved. The nerves that had been tense began to relax gradually.
On the empty sea, there was finally a change, and a huge black shadow appeared on the horizon. As they got closer, the shadows became clearer. It was a mountain range.
"Is this their lair?"
"I look like it!"
"Haha, it's at all!"
......
The cardinals were in a better mood as they talked. Because, no matter what the outcome of this battle is, discovering the enemy's lair is already a great achievement. How can they be upset, you say?
It's getting closer. The obvious target of the enemy ships was the huge mountain range that towered over the sea.
Suddenly, the enemy ship was spotted rising with flames.
"Join forces to open the shields! High alert!" The commanders on the warships noticed the change and immediately issued orders in a loud voice.
The Church of Light's fighters were well-trained, and they quickly completed their defensive deployment. However, to their surprise, the target of the enemy's magic attack this time was not them, but the sea.
The continuous fire magic attacks stirred up the soaring mist. Soon, the entire sea was filled with smoke. Not to mention enemy ships. It's from their own camp, and if they are far away, they can't see it very clearly.
"What's the situation?"
"Oh no! They want to get through the sight barrier and complete the final escape plan!"
Such a view is universally agreed. So, Elma finally decided to speed up the pursuit. Such orders are given through magical telephony.
The well-trained Church of Light and others hurriedly did not hesitate to expend their magic power and fighting energy to keep speeding up. As a result, the advance speed of the entire fleet was increased by at least three floors.
The sound of "woo" and "whoosh" suddenly sounded. It's nothing like the sound of a rain of magical arrows. It was strange, but everyone knew that the enemy attack that had been dormant for a while had come again. The commander did not give any more orders for defense. Because, the defensive shields that each warship had put together just now had not been removed at all. In their minds, the defensive shield that was opened with all their might this time should be able to last for a while when it encounters a magic arrow feather of the same power. At the speed of the current battleship, it only takes a little time to engage the enemy in close combat. When the time comes, the power of the magic archers will be greatly reduced.
Although it sounded loud, the people of the Church of Light were not panicking.
When the attack actually came, they realized that they were wrong, and it was quite wrong. In fact, they should have thought about it a long time ago, because since the beginning of the battle, the other side never seemed to launch an attack that was exactly the same as before. Therefore, their doom is not unrelated to the commanders' misjudgment and lagging countermeasures.
When the people saw the huge arrows and rocks that were close at hand, they knew that something was wrong. Sure enough, in front of these powerful giants, the magic shield they held up was as vulnerable as a tofu block.
All the attacks were launched by huge ballistae and catapults that had been pre-arranged without a trace. The power of the machine takes the physical attack to the extreme. Special crossbow bolts and cobblestone, each weighing several tons. At high speed, how could the impact they produce be withstood by the defensive shield that dozens of people worked together?
The screams, the creaking of the ship's disintegration, the symphony was mixed. The scene is completely out of control. Who knows any commander now? One by one, they are just fleeing for their lives. In the chaotic scene of flying flesh and sawdust, the slightest ability to move is like a headless fly. Some hid in the bilge, others jumped into the sea.
The ship was punctured, and the bilge safety code and the sea water were from time to time huge arrows and stones harvesting life after life. The tragic scene in the sea made everyone feel a sense of powerlessness that there was no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the ground. Who doesn't know! But, where to flee? Where is it safe?
There can be no more hesitation! The huge warship is already in danger. Staying on it any longer, there is only a dead end. More and more stumps and broken arms have forced the survivors to make up their minds. Without hesitation, they jumped into the sea. When they wanted to come, they held their breath and sank deep to the bottom of the sea, hoping to get away with it.
Not a single battleship was spared. Their sinking is only a matter of time. The huge arrows and rocks finally stopped. Sticking their heads out of the water, before they had time to rejoice, they saw black balls appear above their heads. It's certainly not a stone, but they're already scared, how dare they take the risk. Take a deep breath and immediately dive as fast as you can to the bottom of the ocean.
The black ball burst as it hit the surface of the water, bursting out of it with countless black liquids. At first glance, these balls are not hard, and they are hardly lethal. However, among the remnants of the Church of Light, not one dared to try. It's just that now they're being told that these black balls can't kill people at all. It is estimated that no one dares to stay on the surface for a moment. How many people in this world are there who are really not afraid of death? For the sake of their own lives, how can these people not act cautiously?
