Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

The effective range of the giant crossbow is less than the attack range of the magician, and the secondary attack is far less than the chant of the magician, Mark and Humphreys of course did not risk entering the enemy's attack range, and only ordered each ship to shoot a crossbow arrow at intervals on the periphery for long-range "target practice", but just like this, each batch of twenty-six arrows is enough to leave the broken enemy ship behind.

Although the crossbow bolts without crosshair and stamina could not do any substantial damage, the concussion of a few giant crossbows grazing the hull of the ship from time to time was still thrilling, and occasionally one or two would take the lives of several soldiers. After confirming to the magicians around him that there were no magic fluctuations in the opponent's fleet and that it was impossible to show the magic crystal cannon on his ship, the commander, who did not know what the opponent was thinking, simply ordered the magician to attack, with a warning that seemed to "do not go closer", suggesting that the opponent could get closer and make the giant crossbow have a better effect.

But after an obvious magic attack, until his fleet was withdrawn to the shore, the opponent did not have any pursuit of the commander, who wanted to use the magic crystal cannon to reverse the crisis at one time, after waiting nervously to no avail, he could only give up the order to retreat and reorganize the formation.

The enemy's move was expected, but seeing that they were centering on the flagship, ignoring the reformation of the overboard soldiers to break out formation, and the small boats they sent out had not yet docked, Humphreys and Mark were both anxious.

"What to do, they're going to run back...... It's all my fault, if I had gone to the Mercenary Guild and hired a few high-level magicians, it wouldn't be like this today. Humphreys reproached himself in chagrin.

"You're not wrong, the funds given by the Grand Duke are sufficient, but to complete the tasks he has entrusted to him, there must be a large amount of reserves. The only thing to blame is that this time it was too sudden. Observing the enemy's movements, Mark wanted to order the fleet to close up, but he knew that such a price was not something he could afford to pay for the starter, and that was why he made the decision to besiege him, but unfortunately the enemy's reaction was too fast, and he could only do nothing to wait and see, and prayed in his heart that Craig would arrive in time.

"If the Flying Whale piloted by Madame is here, you don't have to be afraid of the other party's magic crystal cannon. Wait a minute. Don't we have a magic signal, why don't we use that?" Humphreys felt better, but he was sick again.

At this upset moment, Mark was a little speechless about this question, but he couldn't think of a good way anyway, so he explained: "If you inform Lord Craig clearly." It shows our relationship with the undead, in case one of them escapes......"

"It's me who is confused......" before Mark could finish. Humphreys reacted, but immediately worried about the next question: "Then this attack on the other party, won't it also affect our relationship with the island alliance, this ~ The mission given to me by the big bus will not fail!" Although he is also a well-known figure in business, the original Flying Whale is also the target of most pirates, but he accepts the national mission. and participation in naval battles with large fleets for the first time, and inevitably cranky thoughts.

"It's true that we are the ship of Brian, but the enemy does not have binoculars. Nothing can be seen at this distance, unless you feel the reaction of the Elemental Eye. Mark replied again, after all, his mission had given him a bit of support for his actions, and after this time, not only did Humphreys "calm down" and feel the signs of the Elemental Eye, but he also saw a silver of anticipation through the telescope.

――――

The plan failed, and the other party's fan of besieging itself on the shore was not something that a capital ship could deal with, but they who had never taken further action were not a chance to break through for themselves at this moment, and besides, they didn't have to bear the charge of delaying the fighter plane when they went back like this.

Smiling self-deprecatingly, looking at the enemy fleet that was still not moving, the commander of the island alliance gave the order to surprise the fleet that had formed a breakout formation. It's not that he's as capable as Mark imagined, it's just that his instinct to survive makes him make the best choice unexpectedly.

It's just that this qiē has become meaningless with a silver light falling from the sky.

"What's going on? Where did the attack come from?" Looking at the large hole in the foredeck, the commander turned in fear to the island of Kasu to the north, but saw nothing. Then, when he turned around, he was horrified to see the blood gushing out of the hole, followed by countless undead.

――――

Undead without intelligence will not send any message back, and when he felt the magic fluctuations and rushed to the port, Craig saw a fleet of island alliances that was about to leave, and at first he didn't want to take the lives of these poor soldiers, but when he still had a large fleet flying the banner of Brion on the periphery, he immediately understood that he could not let go of this enemy fleet.

With the newly acquired magnetic force and his own strength, Craig originally wanted to directly sink the middle ship like a cannonball and disrupt the shape of the enemy fleet, but he didn't expect the wooden deck to be unexpectedly strong, and only hit through one layer;

Although it was a pity, there were still twelve battleships to deal with, jumped on the deck, glanced at the panicked soldiers, and Craig jumped to the battleship in front of the formation without paying any attention. At the same time, the enemy, who was not difficult to deal with, also decided to leave these ships behind for future transportation.

――――

Seeing that the enemy's flagship was in chaos under Craig's attack, Mark and Humphreys immediately happily issued an attack order to the fleet "not to let go of an enemy", but a large number of undead appeared on all the enemy ships he passed, so he reluctantly changed the order to "slowly reduce the encirclement". Because there are so many people who are resistant to the undead, they dare not bet on the loyalty of the new recruits.

However, at this moment, the slowdown of the Brion fleet made the commander of the Sixth Fleet of the Island Alliance now have no chance to surrender, and after looking around at the fleet that was also plagued by the undead, he had no choice but to take the lead in abandoning the ship, boarding a small boat and fleeing to the island of Kasu, which seemed to be the only one that could survive.

At the same time, several warships that had not yet suffered from the poison of the undead, after seeing the fall of the flagship, also hoisted their flags and turned around and fled to Brion's fleet to seek refuge.
