At this moment, the flames of the Yindu Divine Oil floating on the sea were more than a person tall after being fully burned, forming a raging wall of flames around the Southern Star, and many Ike people who had just rushed to the front were burned into charred corpses the moment the blazing flames rose into the air.

Captain Pike and Shaun had decided that the best way for the Ike to break through the wall of death was to gather all the warlocks together to cast water or wind magic and push a gap in the ring of flames that blocked the way for the army to pass through.

But as we all know, whether it is an ordinary Ike pirate or the scorpion king Hara's guard, the number of warlocks in them is very small, and now four of them have to concentrate on maintaining the windless barrier, and the remaining warlocks who are mixed in the Ike warrior team must have a lot of effort to break the wall of fire in front of them with magic, which is enough to keep the people on the Southern Star until the moment when the reinforcements from Karsecot arrive.

This is also the captain's wishful thinking, the reason why he used this new weapon from the Imperial Royal Alchemy Society so quickly is to delay time and wait for rescue.

But the Ike people in front of him obviously didn't act in the way the captain had envisioned.

They didn't hesitate to choose an approach that seemed extremely stupid, but it worked.

Without the slightest hesitation, these people quickly manipulated the giant scorpion to push away the charred corpses in front of them, completely ignoring the screams of their companions who were being scorched by the flames, and plunged headlong into the sea of fire in front of them.

"Could it be...... Aren't these Ike people afraid of flames?" the first mate pointed to the Ike army formation that was getting closer and closer in front of him and questioned loudly, but everyone around him could hear that the first mate, who had always liked to be brave and ruthless, actually had a tremor in his voice at this time.

"I burned a lot of them to death just now, why can't I stop them now," the boatswain muttered to himself, looking at the incredible scene in front of him.

"Are these people crazy?" Sean was also surprised by the momentum of these Ike warriors.

"They're not crazy, they just don't really fear the flames. Helen frowned and looked at the sea that had been reflected red by the firelight not far away, and said slowly, "I have fought with Ike pirates a few times before, these people have been struggling to survive in the hot and dry Sakha Desert for thousands of years, I feel that they have evolved the talent to fight against the flames, and those who died in the sea of fire are probably contaminated with the inextricable Yindu Divine Oil, which was directly possessed and burned by the flames, and if it is just through the fire......"

What would happen if she passed through the fire, Helen didn't say any more, because those Ike people had already given the answer with practical actions.

As soon as they entered the burning wall of fire, the people on board could clearly hear the terrible screams coming from the wall of fire from two hundred yards away.

It was a scream of pain from the flames.

It was the screams of thousands of people at the same time.

This wall of flames has reached a certain width under the combined effect of the deliberate throwing of sailors and the surging effect of the sea, and every Ike who plunges into the sea of fire must be surrounded by blazing flames without exception, and their leather armor and clothing, their hair and skin, are almost burning.

While burning, screaming, and moving forward.

Nearly twenty percent of the Ike people, along with the giant scorpions at their feet, fell into the wall of fire, slowly sinking into the sea as the flames on the corpses gradually extinguished. But more Ike persisted and rushed forward, leaving only the four warlocks who maintained the windless barrier and some of the warriors who protected them remained outside the wall of fire.

When the first giant scorpion rushed out of the sea of fire with seven or eight Ike warriors who had almost become torches on their backs, everyone on the Southern Star was surprised to see that these Ike people, who were covered in flames and looked like demons from the abyss, had actually a smile on their faces.

Grimly.

Immediately after the second and third, hundreds of giant scorpions rushed out of the wall of fire with the Ike warriors on their backs one after another, and the expressions on their faces were actually a hideous smile.

Because they know that the prey is already close at hand.

"Everyone, raise your bow!" was Morrigan's voice.

Sean followed the prestige, and saw that the people of the Blood Bat Mercenary Regiment were already holding cedar longbows, and under the command of Morrigan, they raised the arrows full of bowstrings and pointed diagonally at the sky.

"Put!"

With a fierce wave of his hand, forty long arrows slashed through the air in a high arc and landed accurately on the head of the Ike warrior at the front, and more than a dozen people fell in an instant.

"Put it again!"

These blood bat mercenaries looked well-trained, and they loaded their arrows and drew their bows in one go, and under the command of Morrigan, they quickly released a rain of arrows without the slightest pause.

The longbow in their hands was made of fine spruce wood, strong and resilient, almost as tall as an adult, and it was just right to exert its maximum power at the optimal range of two hundred yards, and the Ike were wearing leather armor, which could not stop the blow of the longbow that was full of falling power.

Unfortunately, the number of Ike is too much, although they have been burned to death by the wall of fire ignited by the Yindu Divine Oil, but the remaining number is still seven or eight times the total number of all the armed forces of the Southern Star, in the face of so many enemies, only forty longbowmen are not of much use at all, although they have tried their best to continue to shoot in all directions, but they still can't suppress these Ike warriors who can't even stop the raging flames.

"Guys, copy the crossbows, the Poseidon is watching us!

As the lookout sailors above the mast reported a distance of one hundred and fifty yards, the first mate continued to operate the "Katyusha" six-bolt and the blood bat's longbowmen to harvest the lives of the Ike people, while directing the ship's armed sailors to shoot at this distance with the Holy Empire's special infantry crossbows that had been purchased in large quantities before.

Although the crossbow can also be projectile in a half-string manner, the power is greatly reduced, so the optimal range of the infantry crossbow is only nearly one hundred and fifty yards, which is a large difference compared to the longbow. Fortunately, the biggest advantage of crossbowmen is that they are easy to train, Captain Pike privately purchased these infantry crossbows through the Tasa family and handed them over to his armed sailors, and now they have only been trained intermittently for a few months, and these people have already been able to operate in battle, but the hit rate is very touching, nearly a hundred sailors are shooting indiscriminately, and the momentum is like a rainbow, but the actual killing effect is not as good as the mercenaries under Morrigan.

Sean observed beside him for a while, sighed, took out the forbidden blood sword in his hand, and cast a helpless look at Helen next to him: "The bow and crossbow seem to be out of reach, so let's prepare for hand-to-hand combat." ”

Before Helen could answer, another voice suddenly came from behind the two:

"Don't worry, Mr. Tamble, the crossbow fingers can't be seen, but there are still us. ”
