55. Friends
A low trumpet sound resounded throughout Castletown Harbour......
The elven archers appeared at the top of the docks, their black cloaks, gray light leather armor, battle bows, and two quivers around their waists, and they had just appeared on the roof opposite the docks of the Seawolf.
A strong aura of slaughter enveloped the entire port.
The Silvermoon Elves' archers are known as the best ranged troops in the Eastern Continent, alongside the Flying Axe Orc Legion of the Orc Tribes and the Lizard Archers of the Swamp Tribes.
They quickly occupied the commanding heights of the wharf.
Then came the arrows that silently enveloped the wind elemental, tearing through the darkness and covering the deck of the Seawolf in all directions.
An arrow wrapped in the wind elemental hits the mainmast.
The arrow actually penetrated the rod with a diameter of nearly half a meter and emerged from the other side.
Another arrow grazed Lady Eudullah's cheek, and if she hadn't just glanced at the docks, it would have just hit the center of the eyebrow.
The arrow slammed into the nearby wooden railing, and the arm-thick oak railing immediately broke in two pieces in the middle.
Frightened, the first mate, Lady Eudulla, immediately propped up a magic light shield, feeling that this was not very safe, and in a panic, she pulled out the magic handle from her magic waist bag, and flew towards the night sky on the magic handle.
The arrows that flew immediately after her landed behind her and disappeared into the darkness of the night.
Then, more arrows wrapped in wind elementals flew in, and the two arrows almost partially shot backwards into the floating device of the magic handle, and the floating device on the magic handle shattered, and Lady Udula fell from the sky into the sea.
On the battlefield, mages are always the first target of archers......
Lady Eudulla did not escape the arrows of the elven archers......
……
Captain Ralph cornered the Simpsons squadron leader to the brass ramming angle in the bow.
The Simpsons Squadron Leader ran around the bronze ramming figure, avoiding the hammer in Captain Ralph's hand.
The war hammer smashed into the bronze man, and a number of depressions appeared in the statue one after another.
The seamen who had rushed out of the deck had just driven a group of elven guards off the ship, and they hadn't even had time to cheer for the brief victory.
Arrows fell on the deck, and the leather armor worn by the crew could not stop the sharp arrows.
The arrow pierced through the chest, and the crew's bodies stiffened.
He looked desperately at the feathered arrow stuck in his chest, and reached out to pull it out of his chest, but finally collapsed on the deck.
In just a rain of arrows, there were only two dozen or so crew members left on the deck of the Seawolf.
The rest of the crew fell to the deck with arrows.
Even Captain Ralph had a few feathered arrows stuck in his body.
It's just that the muscles of his body are as hard as rocks, and a few arrows have been inserted into the flesh, and even the slightest injury cannot be counted.
Although there are several arrows hanging from his body, it looks like a porcupine.
But he still wielded the war hammer in his hand, forcing Squadron Leader Simpson into a retreat with no way to fight back.
The elven warriors jumped again on the deck of the Sea Wolf along the ships on either side, followed by archers who followed aboard.
This group of elven sword dancers in heavy armor rushed to the deck of the Sea Wolf and unceremoniously slaughtered the remaining two dozen crew members.
Nerev, the second mate, sensed that something was wrong, and saw that his companions around him were dying in battle, so he leaned towards Captain Ralph......
Although he also had a few arrows hanging on his body, with his strong physique, he was able to resist these arrow wounds.
The deck of the Seawolf was filled with sword dancers in heavy armor, and everyone gathered around the second mate, Nerev, and some elven sword dancers rushed into the ship.
The elven guards and rangers, who were forced back by the crew of the Seawolf to the other two ships, took the opportunity to run back and began to rescue the injured elves on the deck.
In addition to the wounded lying on the deck, there were also elves who fell into the sea.
……
Several more arrows clanged down on Captain Ralph.
Even though he had hard armor and rock-like skin, he was still defeated by several sword dancers.
Several of Thruki's swords twisted into the chains of Captain Ralph's shield at the same time, breaking the chains of the dwarven chain.
Without a shield to protect him, Captain Ralph could not withstand the attacks of the elven warriors with a single warhammer.
Seeing that it was a failure, although he was reluctant to accept the Seawolf, Captain Ralph still made a decisive decision.
Besieged by the elven sword dancers, he broke through the defenses of the two sword dancers like cannonballs and leaped into the dark sea.
……
Now only the second mate Nerev is left on the deck, still resisting stubbornly.
It's not that he doesn't want to escape from the Seawolf, it's just that he is surrounded by several elven sword dancers, and he doesn't have a chance to jump ship at all.
At this time, the elves on the deck had already noticed that the Seawolf was slowly sinking, and the elven sword dancers who wanted to enter the cabin down the deck stairs also withdrew at this time.
Originally, the difference between the deck of the Seawolf and the port dock was almost five meters high, but now it is less than two meters.
There were already crew members in the paddle room of the Ocean Wave shouting in a panic:
"Oops, the sea is pouring in, swim out quickly......"
Nerev, the wounded second officer, also fought for the last chance and rushed to the side of the ship on the right.
He wanted to jump ship......
With his body, he resisted the long sword swung by the elven guard, and easily broke through the encirclement of the two elven guards......
But at this time, Squadron Leader Simpson appeared in front of him.
Nerev slashed at Squadron Leader Simpson with all his might.
The Simpson squadron leader turned sideways to dodge the scimitar cut by Nerev in front of him, and his body spun to Nerev's side, holding the long sword in his backhand and slitting Nerev's throat.
A stream of blood spurted out of his throat.
Nerev threw away the scimitar in his hand in some despair, and clutched his hands to his throat, but unfortunately the blood still gushed out from his fingers, and he even became unable to breathe, his eyes bulged outward, his eyes widened, and he looked around in despair.
He didn't sail in the Endless Sea, he wasn't swept into the deep sea by the raging waves of the sea, he wasn't swallowed by the deep sea beast at the foot of the sea beast's sacrifice when he captured the Naga mermaid, and he didn't die under the scimitar of the other slave trader when he fought for the chassis.
But in the Elven Realm of Castletown Harbor, the most unlikely place to encounter a battle, he died at the hands of an elven sword dancer.
There was so much unwillingness in his heart......
He had planned to clean up the captain's room and get a commendation from Captain Ralph.
It's a pity that everything was messed up by him......
Nerev fell on the deck.
……
The sword dancers of the Seventeenth Legion begin to pursue Captain Ralph, who has escaped by jumping into the sea, and Lady Udula, who has fallen into the sea and is missing.
Although the elves did not know their names, their identities were easily recognizable, one was a strong gray dwarf, and the other was a blood elf mage.
A row of archers stood at the edge of the harbor docks, facing the sea, armed with battle bows, keeping an eye on the surface of the sea.
The Seawolf was surrounded by more than two dozen fishing boats.
The bows of the fishing boats all picked up their lanterns and began to search back and forth around the Seawolf.
Thinking that Jasper was still in the bilge and not rescued, Roy ran to the stairs of the ship.
Claire followed Roy closely.
At the top of the stairs was a group of elven sword dancers.
Roy wanted to enter the bilge along the corridor below deck.
When I got to the top of the stairs, I realized that the sea water had poured in from below.
Some of the crew members swam out of the cabin, still splashing in the water.
As soon as they struggled to climb the stairs, they were held by the elven guards by the swordsmen.
Roy wanted to go inside and take a look at the bilge, but he was okay with the water, but was stopped by the elven guards guarding the doorway.
"Let me go down, my companion is still down there......"
Roy was a little emotional.
Thinking that if Jasper hadn't given himself the opportunity at that time, he might be the one who is now tied up in the bilge.
Squadron Leader Simpson, with a bandage on his right arm, walked up from behind and pressed Roy's shoulder with his left hand:
"The sea has already submerged the lowest cabin, and it is estimated that there is no way to save him now, and the situation inside is very complicated now, even if you want to recover his body, it is best to wait."
"It is estimated that during the day, two cranes will be erected here to fish out the wreck."
……
At this moment, the Seawolf has been sinking continuously.
The deck was already at the same level as the pier stone platform.
Belle on the shore. Miss Claire shouted Wagner. Claire's name told him to go ashore as soon as possible before the Seawolf sank.
Claire hurriedly dragged the extremely reluctant Roy to the dock.
The corpses of the seafarers on the deck were also carried to the shore by the elven warriors, neatly on the dock.
There were also fishing boats that fished out the bodies of some of the Seawolf's crew from the sea and brought them ashore.
Since the elven guards and rangers were more desperate for their lives, there were really no elves killed in this battle.
The seriously injured elven warriors have also been sent to the Moon Temple for treatment as soon as possible.
There was some confusion on the docks......
Roy went ashore and asked the elves who had returned from the fishing boat if anyone had caught a half-blood elf covered in wounds.
Almost all of the elves who were questioned shook their heads, but a few elves searched the sea and saw some Naga merfolk appearing in the sea.
Hearing this, Roy sat down on the stone slab on the dock in collapse.
At this time, the Seawolf was almost completely sunk into the sea, and only the captain's cabin on the top floor of the ship was exposed, and the ship's five masts of different lengths were exposed.
Roy took one look at the dark sea and sighed, he was so tired that he almost collapsed from the night, and wanted to take a breath and look around.
He hadn't even had time to inform Archpriest Reed of the Liberty Temple of the bad news about the place......
Claire wanted to talk to Roy again, but was pulled into the carriage by her sister Belil.
At this time, the other young elves also left in the carriage, and it is estimated that tonight's experience will be the talk of their meeting for a long time to come.
When the elven army arrived at the docks, Princess Ophelia left the harbor in a carriage.
By the time the two outstanding elven nobles, Wolf and Wilson, returned to the docks, Princess Ophelia was long gone.
Roy was about to get up from the ground and ask the elves who had just landed for news of Jasper.
I heard the grocery store owner shouting in the distance:
"Hey, Roy, your friend isn't just going to ...... The axes and chisels are back, and the money you owe me is ...... I paid it back for you! ”
Roy was slightly stunned in his heart: "Axes and chisels? ’
His eyes widened, and he got up from the ground and ran towards the grocery store owner.
The grocer hurriedly threw the hand axe, which had the edge of the blade like a jagged tooth, and the chisel that was bent into the horns of a bull, at Roy's feet, and said loudly:
"Now that the axe and chisel are yours, they've all been made like this, don't want me to return them!"
Roy winked at the grocery store owner, ignoring the axes and chisels, which were indistinguishable from scrap metal, and walked past the grocery store owner:
"What about others?"
