Section 222 The First Ambergris War (8)
The clouds of fire drifted like galloping horses, and the coalition ships also observed it, but it was not on land, and it was not so easy for the ships to turn.
At this point, the distinction between sail warships and those that use hybrid power comes out.
The warship, which relied entirely on sails, could not dodge even though it saw the fire cloud coming.
Ships that can activate steam mechanics will use sails when the wind is blowing, and steam power will be turned on when the wind is against the wind or in battle, so that they don't have to rely on the sails to accelerate when the fire cloud hits.
However, when this fire cloud fell, the covering area was much larger than the meteor fire shower cast by ordinary high-level mages, and if you had to compare, it would be about several times the same as when Krish was in the City of Nature.
This is because the magic of the first High Elves is chanting, although the casting speed will be slightly inferior to the spell model, but it is stronger in power; second, the high-level elf mage named Maya is also stronger than Chrissy many years ago; finally, Maya is not alone, he is fighting side by side with a group of elven mages, and there are two high-level elf mages and a whole team of mid-level elven mages with him to perform joint spells.
Therefore, when this fire cloud turns into a meteor fire shower and falls, although the power is not substantially increased, it is only in terms of the area covered is no less than the area of influence of a legendary magic.
Several of the Coalition ships were covered, and the steam-powered ships that were not in the center rushed out with the light of fire and began to put out the fire, while the ones in the center of the magic coverage were not so lucky, and almost all of them were on fire, and the burning stones in them pierced the deck. When the flame burns to the ammunition room. There was a deafening explosion.
Adjutant Yakin perked up. He fought with Feeno with the determination to die, but whatever his final outcome, at least he had already killed a number of hateful invaders.
At this moment, the coalition flagship came out with a flag, and two strange warships came out from behind the flagship, while the other warships continued to shell Yakin.
"We have to persevere, as long as we hold on for a moment longer, Maya will be able to deliver another large-scale high-level spell attack. Feerno said in a deep voice.
The surrounding elves nodded. Maya's attack just now is no less than some legendary spells in terms of the scope of influence, but it is achieved by joint spellcasting, and joint spellcasting requires the spiritual fit of the mages, which is much slower than solo spellcasting, and the benefits are of course obvious, just like in front of them, it is equivalent to a middle-level mage borrowing power to a high-level mage, and the casting of high-level elves is chanting, and there is no need to modify the spell model, and the borrowing force can be directly increased in the spell effect.
The only downside is that the cast time is longer. This also requires Feanor to contain the enemy.
Before Yakin could speak, two more shelling rang out. A huge wave of water shook the hull of the ship next to it, and a second shelling caused the elves on board to change color, as the hull seemed to have been hit.
This may not matter in peacetime, or in traditional naval warfare, the High Elves are not afraid, because even if they stand still, the High Elves who have mastered excellent archery and magic are not afraid of people besieging on the sea, but the current naval battle is different, the ship of nature that has sunk before makes Fianor and them understand that the enemy is superior in long-range attacks, and has an absolute advantage in numbers.
And Feeno also had a faint feeling that although the enemy did not despise him, he seemed to have a sense of using this war to temper it first.
If this is the case, Feerno can't help but feel a sense of fear in his heart, which is to use his people to sharpen their knives and eliminate the army's fear of the High Elves.
After all, a long time ago, the Azure Continent was once ruled by the High Elves, and many creatures still have a shadow on the High Elves in the depths of their hearts, but what if the High Elves were defeated in a naval battle, and watched these High Elves fall under the muzzle of their guns, and watch the Chambers of Nature sink by cannon fire?
So, the aura of the High Elves will be removed, right?
Seemingly grasping the other commander's thoughts, Feuerno was even more angry, this is simply an insult, and he will definitely pay for it.
"My lord, we must move to another ship, which is no longer at speed. Yajin said eagerly.
Feerno took a deep breath and said, "You guys move immediately." ”
"What about you?" said Yakin, stunned.
"Me, of course, fighting. Feeno laughed, "I'll give Maya and them more time to prepare for the joint spell." ”
He patted his "young" lieutenant on the shoulder, "If I die in battle in a moment, you will immediately break through and return to Mochizuki City with all your strength, and stop defending, and report the process of this battle to the Great Elf King of Fernaffin and the Central Court as soon as possible." ”
"No, city lord, I will fight with you to the end, even if I die here. Yakin's eyes turned red.
"If I die in battle, you must go back alive. "Because I suspect that this fleet is only an advance force." ”
Yajin was shocked, if this was just an advance army, then the Terran fleet would definitely not only come to take revenge on the ban on ambergris and the capture of the merchants.
Feerno stepped against the waves, and in a short period of time, the largest ship of nature was bombarded, and the High Elves could clearly feel the hull sinking.
The current naval battle is indeed different from the past, and the ship of nature, which has lost its speed, will only be destroyed faster under the fire of artillery in the sky.
But Feerno didn't seem to think about it at all, and he stepped on the deck, as if he had returned to his old boyhood of practicing archery, and he didn't even think about life and death in front of him.
A string of incantations came out of his mouth, and silver dots of light poured out of him like mist, and finally the silver mist condensed into two half-empty and half-solid silver wings on his back.
The wings vibrate, and Feerno floats.
With his bow in his hand, he casually drew three ironwood arrows from the quiver on his back, just as he had shot three arrows of a cannonball.
Immediately four musketeers in different directions fell down, one was pierced in the forehead, and one was pierced in the throat. There was also an arrow in one direction that connected two people who were too close.
He tried his hand at it. There is no sense of pride. The strength of these musketeers is not worth it at all, but they are quite lethal with the muskets in their hands.
He moved his wings again, moving deftly, and when there was hidden artillery fire in his place just now, he drew his arrow again, this time with five shots, and immediately five more musketeers fell in terror.
He is so conspicuous, and he has floating silver wings. Moreover, he killed and wounded the enemy one after another, which immediately attracted the attention of the gunners who were besieging the ships of the coalition forces, and they fired at him one after another.
Feerno took a long breath, his gestures suddenly quickened, and his movements of drawing arrows, drawing bows, setting up arrows, and shooting had an indescribable beautiful feeling, but in the eyes of others, the most frightening thing was only one word to describe it, and that was fast.
A series of shooting moves that are extremely fast, and getting faster and faster, and each shot is at least one shot of three arrows.
This is his Wind Arrow skill, which is also famous among the High Elves.
This is how to shoot. In fact, Fierno can't last for a long time, it consumes too much energy.
But after today's war. There may not be a tomorrow, he gave up moving, his wings vibrating on his back, keeping his body floating, the wind arrow technique urged to the extreme, and his hand waved like a phantom.
Screams rang from the coalition warships around them, and for every scream a musketeer was bound to be killed or wounded.
When the speed of the Tempest Arrow is pushed to the extreme, the accuracy of hitting a single target will be reduced, but it will have a great advantage in group battles, and the destructive power will also be increased.
Before sinking, Yajin took the elves of his team to transfer to another natural boat in time, and more than half of the high elves who accompanied the expedition had been killed, but none of them showed a cowardly look, and there were only two natural boats left, if they were all destroyed, it would mean that the Mochizuki City fleet no longer existed.
Feerno stood tall in the air like a god of war, his silver wings adding to the sacredness, and the musketeers struck him one after another.
However, he had no intention of dodging, chanting incantations in his mouth, and one after another natural defensive spells appeared on him, including the body of rocks, energy shields, protective arrows, and even the armor of Fujiman.
These spells helped him resist bullets that were fired at him, and even solid shells that hit him were weakened multiple times and bounced out.
Only the flowering bullet can penetrate the multiple protections of these spells, breaking through the last of the Vineman's armor and leaving scars on Feanor's body.
"I'm going to finish him off. Bethoff couldn't hold his breath, how to say that he was also in charge of the navy, and it was really a bit shameless to be so majestic outside by a guy who was not even a legend.
"No, he'll be done soon. Perseus said lightly, "Before I went to battle, Duke Solomon said that I must find a way to make the soldiers eliminate the high elves in their hearts. In this way, he can be called a warrior among the High Elves, so there is nothing better than killing this warrior with his own hands. ”――
If both artillery and musket shooting are more physically restrictive than elven archery, then Feanor may be able to support it for a while longer.
Unfortunately, these machine-derived things are created precisely to liberate the physical labor of living beings, and there are far more gunners in the coalition fleet than there are elves in battle.
Feerno felt his physical strength declining, and the cost of his mana was even greater, as he needed to chant incantations to help him resist the cannon fire coming from all directions.
When the magic was exhausted, he finally saw another cloud of fire flying through the sky.
At this moment, he felt as if something had slammed into his waist, and a sharp pain hit him, and something was desperately drilling inside.
He reached out and wiped it, and his waist was covered in blood.
Without waiting for him to smile bitterly, pain hit him in his back and chest at the same time, and he didn't know how many shots he had been shot for a while.
Although the High Elves are fifth-order creatures, their physique is far superior to that of low-level creatures, but this level of strength is based on a comprehensive level, and because the High Elves master archery and magic, they are purely natural to defend against attacks, and only the Orephines on land and the Wilses in the sea are the best at it.
He vaguely heard someone calling for him, he forced his eyes open and waved his hand, he wanted to tell Yakin to leave, he promised to run back to report the news.
But when his arm was raised, a flowering bullet flew and exploded in the air.
The last scene Yakin saw was the death of the lord of Mochizuki Castle, whom he respected.
The battle of Mochizuki City was decided, and the coalition forces won a complete victory, completely annihilating the High Elf detachment that took the initiative to attack.
After Feanor's death, the remnants of the lieutenant Yakin failed to fulfill their promise to him, and the two Nature's Boats were destroyed by artillery fire before they could escape, although they also burned another with fire magic before they died.
Feenor's desperate time led Maya's elven mages to perform another meteor shower of combined spells, destroying two coalition warships.
But then that's all there was to it, and the coalition warships continued to shell while they began to cover the landing.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the Mayan archmage retreated with the remaining elven mages, and agreed with Feanor to abandon Mochizuki City and flee to other elven cities.
The pearl of the East Coast has fallen. (To be continued.) )
