Volume 31 Battle Dragon in the Sea Chapter 4 Open the Way

Although Raymond and the others have not yet decided, the matter is actually obvious. Although the captains of the frigates have combat experience, none of them dare to take this responsibility, the important thing is that they have lost their courage, which is definitely the most fatal weakness in battle.

Although Dreaa has no experience, he has learned the art of commanding, and most importantly, he dares to stand up at this time, which proves that he has the confidence he has and the courage to face the enemy, which is sometimes more important than whether he has experience.

Especially when there is no choice...

Raymond and the others looked at each other, and after making sure that Thor and Reed had no objections, Raymond clapped his hands and said, "Okay, Drea, I'll leave it to you this time." ”

"Rest assured, Lord Raymond. Dreay bent down and said, "I won't let you down." ”

"Young master, look, we have arrived. ”

At this moment, Bathter's voice woke Raymond from his musings. He looked up and saw the outline of Antiva gradually appearing above the sea level.

It didn't take long for the fleet to approach the islands. As when Raymond had last visited, the periphery of Antiva was still so treacherous, with a ring of reefs and waves of wrecked ships, like tombstones.

The island of Antiva in the center is still ugly, and the houses built along the mountain are densely packed, like scabies growing on the skin of the island, full of the ferocious and wild smell of pirates.

Caterina's Blue Rose was already waiting on the outskirts of the island, and when Haydington's fleet arrived, it sailed over.

Soon, the two sides rendezvous, the Blue Rose approached the Brilliant Marie, the sailors on board the ship with their hooks, and Caterina boarded Raymond's ship.

The two sides meet. After exchanging greetings, Caterina got straight to the point: "Very well, you have come on time, but the enemy is also coming, and we must step up." ”

"How's it going on the necromancer's side?" asked Raymond.

Caterina said, "The plan is going well, and they shouldn't be suspicious." The opposing fleet all left the port. They all came here, but they didn't see any trace of the sea dragon, and they didn't know if they were coming with them. ”

Raymond said, "Don't worry, that thing will definitely come." ”

Sol also said: "Cliff is very cautious, he will definitely not let the fleet and the sea dragon separate. ”

Raymond asked again, "How's the setting up in Antiva?"

Caterina nodded: "It's all arranged, just waiting for you to join." ”

As she spoke, she looked at the tall Gru, "This is the man you are talking about, is it reliable?"

Raymond smiled bitterly: "If he and Kress can't join forces, then no one can defeat the sea dragon." ”

Katerina hadn't met Gru. I didn't know how powerful he was. But the key to the success of this battle is whether she can subdue the sea dragon, so she can't help but care.

She snorted when she heard this: "If you say that, it seems that you have to give it a go." ”

As she spoke, she frowned: "But what's the matter with this guy, why hasn't he been talking?"

From the time she boarded the ship, Gru had stood at the bow with his back to the crowd and had not said a word. It was as silent as a clay statue. They will fight together, and his attitude can't help but cause Katarina's dissatisfaction.

I know that this girl has a hot temper. Afraid that she would anger Gru, Thor hurriedly said, "That guy has this temper, don't worry about him." ”

Caterina realized that everyone was keeping their distance from Gru, and she couldn't help but wonder, "Why do you all seem to be afraid of him?"

"Well... It's hard to put into words. Raymond said embarrassedly, and then he said to Katarina, "Anyway." Let's get started. ”

Naturally, Caterina didn't really get entangled, she nodded when she heard this, and then gave an order to the sailors on the "Blue Rose". The sailors gave the signal, and soon another large ship approached.

"That's Gregor's flagship, and he's in charge of the ambush on the periphery," said Katerina. Your fleet will go with him, and he will make arrangements. ”

Raymond then gave orders to Drea, and the group boarded Caterina's flagship. Under Drea's command, Headington's fleet followed Gregor to ambush the necromancer's fleet, while the Blue Rose sailed for Antiva.

The battle is about to begin.

"Wow... Wow..."

The battleship with its sails puffed forward at high speed in the sea, its bow splitting the waves, and splashing water on both sides, making a loud noise.

Denek still stood in the undulating bow of the ship, as he was custom, and the sailors were busy on the back deck, and no one dared to disturb them.

Listening to the sound of the waves, Denek's thoughts were surging. In order to eliminate the troublesome pirates, the fleet is rushing to Antiva Island, preparing to destroy the other party's lair in one fell swoop.

This time, with their own strength and the help of sea dragons, those remaining pirates are no match at all, so it stands to reason that there should be nothing to worry about.

However, the Emir's warnings before departure always made Denek not reassured.

Sidonis, Headington, and the pirates may have joined forces!

Although judging by all the signs so far, even if these three parties join forces, they are not their own opponents, especially at sea. However, if this is true, then the other side will definitely have some plans in this battle on Antiva Island, and this uncertainty can't help but make Denek faintly uneasy.

Especially when he knew that Lowell's gang was in Headington, his old rival Thor was always unexpected, and the difficult Raymond, the combined effect of these two was definitely enough to give anyone a big headache.

"If, they investigated the origin of the sea dragon, and even went to find the female dragon..."

Suddenly, a thought that had never occurred before rose in Denek's heart, and his heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

But Denek immediately dismissed the idea, which was impossible. When stealing the dragon egg, the necromancer calculated that Netheris was about to give birth again, and that she was going to give birth to the cubs in the short term. Surely they will not leave the Dragon's Lair in a hurry. And those people in Beddington are even more unlikely to have any contact with her.

The thought calmed Denek somewhat. He turned his head and saw that behind the flagship, a huge fleet was riding the wind and waves, followed closely behind, and the dense white sails seemed to fill the sea with a thick fog. It is powerful enough to terrify any enemy.

At the same time, he also knew that at the bottom of the sea, which could not be seen, the sea dragon was also cruising tightly around the fleet. As long as there are both, there is no one at sea who is your opponent!

Yes, no matter what the other party has in their plans, they only need to be crushed with absolute superiority. In the end, Denecke agreed with Depero.

However, the qualifications of the emir are high. It still made him quite happy. Tempting him to fall and join the Necromancer's Guild was one of Denek's proudest things.

In the foreseeable future, necromancers will flourish again thanks to the talents of Emir and Edward, Denek believes.

Therefore, based on the idea of cherishing talents, Denek put the emir, who had not yet comprehended the necromancer, to the rear, and used his organizational talents to take charge of another matter.

Yes. Another thing that is very important to the Necromancer's Guild. No. It should be said that that is what Denek really is, and it is also the final shot.

If that thing can be done, it doesn't matter if this war is lost...

"President, we're coming soon. ”

That's when it happened. Kenville walked up behind Denek and said cautiously.

He is the true commander of this fleet, and one of the few necromancers that Denek has planted in the fleet.

Aking from his deep thought, Denek looked up to see the outline of Antiva faintly visible in front of him.

"How's the enemy going?" said Denek, walking back to the deck. Asked at the same time.

Kenville said: "The sailors on the lookout haven't found it yet. ”

"Don't worry about that, order the fleet to move forward at full speed, and start attacking as soon as you arrive, and I want Antiva to disappear from the charts. Denek ordered.

The enemy situation is unknown for the time being, and this order is very reckless, but Kenville is well aware of the strength of his side, and Denek is fully confident to do so.

He nodded and said, "I see, you can just see it." ”

He then walked back to his command position, and with a barrage of orders, the entire fleet rushed towards Antiva at full speed.

"The enemy has arrived!"

Seeing the signal from the pirate ship scouting off the island, Caterina said in a deep voice.

Everyone was nervous, and at this moment Raymond and the others gathered on Antiva Island, waiting for the attack of the necromancer fleet.

The pirates and Headington's fleet were already lying in ambush around the island, and when Gru and Kress had subdued the sea dragons, they would come out and attack the enemy.

Due to the special terrain of Antiva Island, especially the complex conditions of the surrounding sea area, under the guidance of pirates who are familiar with the terrain, the ambush force is not safe from being discovered by the other side. In other words, the biggest key to this battle is, can you successfully solve the sea dragon?

As the enemy army gradually approached, even Thor and Raymond, who were full of confidence before, couldn't help but start beating drums in their hearts, not to mention Caterina and the others.

In contrast, Gru and Kress both looked calm, and did not seem to have the slightest worry about the upcoming big battle.

"Can we win?" muttered Caterina unconsciously in a fit of nervousness.

"Absolutely!" replied Raymond categorically.

Then turn your gaze to the outside of Antiva.

As soon as the pirate ship in charge of luring the enemy and the necromancer's fleet came into contact, they fled in a hurry, following the hidden passage of the reef belt and hiding on the island of Antiva.

On the flagship, Kenville watched the pirate ship disappear into the reef, turned to Denek and said, "Lord Lord, the enemy has fled. ”

"Chase me!" said Denek without hesitation.

"However, there are many hidden reefs outside Antiva, and it can be very dangerous if you don't know the paths. Kenville was puzzled: "I think it would be better to send a few ships to explore the way first." ”

"No need. Denek sneered, "Aren't they just reefs, if this is their last barrier, then let them know what despair is." ”

Before the words fell, with the sound of water, a huge sea dragon had emerged from the sea next to the flagship, raising its huge body high and standing tall.

Although the sea dragon is his own weapon. But in the face of its large and ugly body, the sailors on board could not help but show fear.

Denek pointed his hand forward, "Go, open a way for me." ”

At the command, the sea dragon swooped forward, setting off fierce waves in the sea as its huge tail swung. Swim quickly to the reef off Antiva.

Outside the reef area, the sea dragon was like a giant python that broke into a porcelain shop, and slammed straight into the reef group.

In an instant, I saw that the sea was romantic, and the water splashed into the air, accompanied by a violent rumbling sound, the sea dragon simply smashed the underwater reef with its body.

Then, its massive tail rose from the sea, and slammed from side to side like a long whip, striking with its unrivaled force. The reef on the left is fragile as if it were an empty shell. As the sea splashed in all directions, the shattered reefs flew in all directions, smashing into the sea far and near, stirring up more waves.

After clearing the nearby reef, the sea dragon continued to swim towards the island, clearing the surrounding reef with its body and tail as it went.

It's like a powerful boring machine, a natural reef just off Antiva that has been a headache for countless ships. It was swept away.

As the sea dragon advances, the thrown reef falls in all directions. The waves splashed on the left, and behind it was a safe enough area for all ships to navigate. The muddy waters look terrifying, but they are no longer dangerous.

After carving a passage in the reef belt, the sea dragon soon approached Antiva. Then. The pirate ship that lured the enemy before hadn't even had time to enter the port, which shows how fast the sea dragon is.

From the moment the sea dragons began to destroy the reef, the pirates were terrified by the earth-shattering force behind them, and the captain couldn't stop ordering the sailors to speed up in order to get rid of the approaching monsters behind.

However, the reef zone is effective in preventing outsiders from entering. But it also limited its own speed, and the pirate ship had to avoid the underwater reef, so it could only sail in the winding passages, and naturally it was impossible to speed up the sea dragon that chased itself violently from behind.

Just as they were about to enter the safety of the sea between the reef and Antiva, the sea dragon finally caught up.

Raising its massive body high, the sea dragon's strong and powerful tail stirred in the water, sweeping away the reef at the back of the vicinity, and then pounced forward with the help of its strength.

The huge dragon head bites the side of the last pirate ship. After a moment of stalemate, the sea dragon's body tensed violently, and he threw his neck with the help of huge muscle force!

Unbelievable things happened, the huge pirate ship was directly thrown out of the sea by the sea dragon, and a loud bang was heard, and the pirate ship smashed horizontally into the sea, stirring up a monstrous wave.

All the pirates on the ship were thrown out of the way, and many of them fell into the sea in a daze, never to rise again. The rest of the people were desperately paddling their limbs to keep themselves afloat, and some of the lucky ones who were lucky enough to remain on the boat had to hold on to everything around them to prevent them from slipping into the sea.

But before the survivors could breathe a sigh of relief for their lives, a huge black shadow descended from the sky. With a loud cracking sound that shook the eardrums, the sea dragon's tail slapped against the hull, and the pirate ship broke off in an instant, and a large amount of seawater poured in through the gap.

The waves engulfed the survivors, and by the time the waves had subsided, there was no longer a single figure on the surface of the sea, except for two truncated boats slowly sinking into the sea.

After destroying the pirate ship, the sea dragon dived into the water and continued to swim towards the remaining ships. The port of Antiva was in front of it, but these ships would never be able to enter the port.

In just a few moments, the furious sea dragon easily destroyed the ships. But seeing that the sea was in shambles, countless corpses, planks, masts and other debris floated on the water, the remaining pirates let out a desperate cry, and the wreckage of the pirate ship destroyed by the sea dragon floated with the waves.

And in this tragic scene, the terrifying sea dragon stands proudly on the surface of the sea. It raised its ugly head and let out a hoarse roar towards Antiva, like a catharsis after a slaughter, and like a warning to the island's enemies.

The pirates on the island were all stunned by this scene, and the defenders, who had been solemnly waiting to defend against the enemy, were in great confusion under the horror. Fearing that the sea dragon would attack the port, the pirates defending the shore abandoned their positions, abandoned their weapons and fled to the interior of the island.

However, the sea dragon did not continue to attack, but slowly sank into the water. After a few moments, it disappeared, leaving only countless wrecks and corpses on the surface of the sea, which made the people on the shore terrified.

"President, the path has been opened. Kenville said to Deneck, "But it's strange that there don't seem to be any ships to be seen except the pirate ships." ”

"What do you think?" asked Denek.

Kenville said, "The enemy's fleet must be nearby. Wait for the opportunity. Antiva has a complex topography and many secret harbors to hide, making it difficult to spot them in a short period of time. ”

As he spoke, he suggested: "So my subordinates think that it is the safest way to directly let the sea dragon create a tsunami to flood the entire island." ”

Denek shook his head and said, "It takes a lot of magic to create a tsunami, and it takes a long time for a sea dragon to recover after using it once. Antiva is too large, especially in the center, and it is difficult to achieve the desired effect. ”

"Besidesβ€”" There was a cruel look in his eyes: "It's too cheap for them." ”

"So what does the president meanβ€”" Kenville asked tentatively.

"Kill it and take the island directly. Denek said proudly, "I will turn all those pirates into walking corpses with my own hands, so that I can warn all those who dare to oppose us." ”

"Of course, it would be better if the guys from Headington and Loveville were on the island too. ”

Even if Kenwell was also a necromancer, he couldn't help but feel chills in his heart. He hurriedly persuaded: "President, I don't know where the enemy's fleet is yet, and whether it would be too hasty to do so. ”

Denek snorted: "Is it with our current strength. Do you still want to be afraid of these remnants of the defeated army, or do you think those hidden enemy ships can threaten us?"

Frankly. After watching the scene just now, no one would believe that anything could threaten the sea dragon. As long as it is there, the necromancer's fleet is invincible.

Kenville thought the same thing, although the instinct of a commander he thought it was very inappropriate to step into enemy territory so recklessly, but the facts were in front of him. No matter what tricks the enemy plays, it will be in vain in front of the sea dragon.

With this in mind, Kenville chose to accept the order, but he still did the bare minimum security measures: "Still, I will grow a man." Let's leave some of the boats here to take care of it. ”

Denek nodded: "Yes, it's up to you to arrange it." ”

Kenville immediately gave the order, and soon, more than 10 warships stayed in place as a follow-up, and the rest of the fleet followed the passage opened by the sea dragon and slaughtered the island of Antiva with great momentum.

It didn't take long for the fleet to pass through the reef and reach the safety of the island of Antiva. The huge fleet lined up in the sea, all weapons pointed at the island, immediately bringing a heavy atmosphere of danger and fierceness.

On the other hand, on the island of Antiva, frightened by the power of the sea dragon, the pirates deployed along the coast ran away, and the rest of the people also looked at the fleet that had reached their doorstep with a look of despair, looking like a lamb to be slaughtered.

Such a huge difference in strength made Kenville and the others' worst doubts disappear. That's right, there is no need to worry about this attack on the pirates, the enemy is completely vulnerable.

"Attack! Destroy these pirates for Lord Denek. Kenville ordered.

Soon, several dinghys, loaded with soldiers, rowed towards Antiva, preparing to occupy the island directly after landing.

The warships used long-range weapons such as catapults to attack the shore to support their own landing operations. For a while, arrows, stones, incendiary bombs and other objects flew towards the island, and the port bore the brunt of it, with a loud bang, bricks and stones flew one after another, and the incendiary bombs ignited trees and houses, igniting a raging fire, and thick smoke soared into the sky.

Under the dense fire, the last part of the pirates on the shore also turned and fled, and at this moment the island of Antiva was completely open, and there was no defense at all.

Deneck's forces are about to seize the port, but will things really go so well?

The two dinghys were the first to land, and the soldiers, who had been gathering momentum for a long time, immediately jumped out of the boat and waded into the water and rushed to the dock. As there were many houses burning in the port, thick smoke rose into the sky, obscuring the view. (To be continued......)
