Chapter 249: Cleaning the Battlefield

In order to avoid accidental damage, the opponent's powerful crossbow arrows and cobblestone will definitely stop attacking. The other party's search team wanted to search such a huge sea area, and it was by no means possible to complete it in a short period of time. After being caught off guard and killing and injuring many people, almost all of them exerted their full potential and rushed forward desperately.

The rest are definitely the best of the best, although they are underwater, but the speed is also extremely fast. Soon, they were able to pull a sufficient distance from the huge warships of the "Navy SEALs". Then one by one, they jumped out of the water as fast as they could, and took off into the air.

"Ah, the air it's been a long time gone!" the fresh air made them feel like they had lost most of their strength and were rapidly recovering it.

The huge battleship of the "Navy SEALs" fell into a long silence after the spectacular scene of a hundred arrows firing in the first few minutes. There was no longer the "whoosh" of arrows, because it was no longer possible to find a living person on the surface of the sea they had passed.

Every member of the "Navy SEALs" is not naïve enough to think that only the sea area where it started has survivors. Now that nothing has been found, there is only one explanation, and after the scareless snake, the cunning enemy has already managed to escape. Therefore, the faces of all the members of the "Navy SEALs" were gloomy. When the overall situation has been decided, let the remnants of the enemy slip away. This is definitely the greatest shame for them, the iron-blooded soldiers.

As the commander-in-chief, Merstal and Chief of Staff Camille were not the least annoyed, but on the contrary, they couldn't help but smile faintly. The two of them had a complete expression of certainty and control.

The wonderful feeling of power recovery made all the masters intoxicated. But the extremely incongruous screams woke them up immediately. Then you see an overwhelming array of magical arrow feathers. Many comrades-in-arms have fallen like hedgehogs. The reaction of these people was not unpleasant. As soon as he realized that something was wrong, he immediately turned around and fled as fast as he could.

This was the attack of a surprise squad pre-arranged by Merstal and Camille. As the top leaders of the "Navy SEALs", of course, they have to look at the big picture. They thought about all kinds of situations that they might encounter in pursuit of the remnants of the enemy. Truly do it without missing anything. They know that it is not easy for them to survive the blows of horrific weapons (giant ballistae and catapults) that can destroy everything. Therefore, while making a detour in the fog to chase down the remnants of the enemy, they also left behind this squad of magic archers, which was specially used to snipe the remnants of the enemy who wanted to flee from it.

In fact, the number of people in this squad is not large, so the combat effectiveness that can be exerted is extremely limited. But Merstal and Camille had calculated that those who arrived here must have become frightened birds. Therefore, as long as the magic arrow comes out, those survivors will definitely not dare to attack the direction where our army's base camp is located. Fleeing in the opposite direction without making any resistance should be their inevitable choice. Of course, as the two of them had envisioned, the intimidation of the squad worked as it should.

Under Mostar's arrangement, all the members of the long-range unit went down to the speedboat and advanced in three rows. It didn't take long to see a large number of panicked masters of the Church of Light flying into the air. They were greeted by a magical attack that slashed their heads and faces. The masters of the Church of Light have no choice. They can only rush hard.

You may wonder, could it be that these guys, who were very shrewd just now, are they stupid now? Why do they have to choose the front and back, can't they go left or right? These people are not unthinking, but they have not become stupid and they know that when the magic archers are lined up, they will either flee quickly in the opposite direction or rush head-on. From the perspective of the long range and fast frequency of the magic archer's attacks, other options will inevitably increase the chance of getting injured or falling indefinitely.

The three layers of tight blockade have brought down the last of the true elites of the Church of Light. This time, the Church of Light can be said to have suffered heavy losses, and the entire Southwest Continent was wiped out by nearly half of its strength at one time, and it also included almost all the masters.

However, even so, the army of the Church of Light cannot be considered annihilated. Because, there are still a few people who have run away, and they are the actual top leadership of the army - the five cardinals. At the moment when the attack launched by the giant crossbow cart and catapult that could barely be resisted by manpower suddenly descended from the sky, the five cardinals, who had experienced no idea how many winds and waves, already knew that under the enemy's elaborate series of attacks, the failure of this unprecedented military operation was inevitable.

It's not that the five of them don't want to do their best to reduce the losses of the army, but the shocking attack method has already caused the people's hearts to be disheartened. Even if they want to command, they have to be listened to. In desperation, they had no choice but to protect themselves first. To be able to become a cardinal is to have an extraordinary mind. Almost at the same time, the five of them compressed the surrounding air infinitely into the spatial ring at the fastest speed, and then cast a magic spell to open up a special channel in the shape of a tube connecting the nasal cavity and the spatial ring.

Through eye contact, the five cardinals became the first in the army to voluntarily jump into the sea. Everyone carries a heavy load in their hands. It's not like they're looking for trouble. Instead, you can ensure that you dive into the deepest sea, which is as safe as possible.

Thinking back to the enemy's fighting style since the beginning of the battle, the five cardinals knew that the devastating arrows and cobblestone attacks were only the beginning. The enemy's tactics will inevitably continue. Until the time comes to kill them all, the enemy will never stop. Therefore, it is not safe to simply hide in the deep sea.

Through eye contact, they unanimously decided to swim to the enemy's lair with all their might. For such a huge attack of arrows and cobblestones must have been launched from the high mountains seen before. As long as they flee to the foot of the mountain as soon as possible, they will be able to gain temporary safety. Because, at the foot of the mountain, is the dead end of the enemy's long-range attack.

I have to admire the extraordinary talent and wisdom of these five cardinals. Because, the attack position chosen by Merstal and Camille has been carefully tested. They didn't want to be defeated in one fell swoop, so whether the enemy ships were advancing or retreating, as long as they couldn't teleport a kilometer away, they would have to endure a constant and tireless mechanical attack.

Why didn't they flee back? It was because they did not dare, they were afraid that the enemy would have a backhand. In their minds, the enemy's trap will not appear in their lair, so it is safest to flee in that direction.
