Chapter 383: Chapter 371: The Steel Battleship that sails through the Sea of Fire!
The wide sea, once obscured by fog, was continuously filled with the booming sounds of cannon fire.
The deafening explosions could be heard clearly even from tens of kiloters away.
In just five minutes, the fleet had discharged thousands of cannonballs, but the vast majority either missed their target or were blocked by Divine Protection.
After three rounds of powerful attacks, a total of twenty enemy ships were sunk, but conversely, the massive fleet of sailing warships had already closed in to a range of four hundred ters!
Heavy catapults began operating, hurling wooden projectiles soaked in oil, which, with the aid of Divine Arts, spanned hundreds of ters to strike the flagship at the forefront.
“Multiple Fla Burst Skill,” “Lesser Magic Protection,” “Frost Curtain”…
...
The Wizards hurriedly cast spells to intercept the incoming oil, where the scorching fireballs and ignited projectiles collided, imdiately whipping up a blaze that scattered black oil and wooden splinters onto the sea surface, the fierce fire spreading swiftly across the wide ocean!
Since this unique oil was discovered, it had been massively employed by the empire in warfare, not only as a siege weapon but also as remarkably effective in naval battles, dealing lethal blows to wooden ships!
The spreading inferno significantly reduced the enemy’s morale!
However, they were clearly not facing ordinary opponents this ti, as four ironclad warships fearlessly navigated through the sea of fire, clearing a path for the alchemical fleet behind them…
“Quick, quick! Attack, we must not let them break through!” shouted a Cardinal on a sailing vessel adorned with the Holy Light Emblem.
Although these flanking ships could not possibly defeat the Wizards’ fleet, their mission was not to achieve victory in battle, but to rely stall the enemy until the main fleet arrived to completely turn the tide!
On the sailing ship, Priests and Bishops began to chant holy songs, as countless arrows, glowing with Divine Radiance, materialized in the void and poured down on the Wizards’ fleet!
The Arrows forged from Divine Arts were extrely potent, capable of effortlessly piercing through sturdy armor, and they were particularly effective against magic foes; these Divine blows initially caused casualties within the Wizards’ ranks.
An alchemical ship’s defenses were breached, large amounts of oil poured over, and the entire vessel was quickly engulfed in flas…
The Cardinal commanding the fleet was not idle either, amidst soaring chants, a massive divine force began swirling around him.
“Praise — Heavenly Judgnt!”
The intense Divine Energy gradually coalesced together, exuding a chilling stillness of death.
However, just at that mont, a powerful beam of laser, fired later but arriving first, traveled hundreds of ters, piercing directly through his chest, and then, like a knife through butter, slicing the whole sailing warship in two from top to bottom!
The concentrated Divine Energy instantly dissipated in the explosion and flas, as the massive warship was cleaved and toppled to both sides, creating a huge wave…
The one who made the move was Aurora!
In the use and mastery of Beam Magic, she was no less skilled than Lynn; she had not acted earlier simply because the enemy’s ships had not yet co within range.
Two hundred thirty ters… That was the furthest distance the fourth-level laser beam could cut and damage the hull!
The laser beam that Aurora was virtually gripping shot out again, this ti targeting another dozen sailing warships that had approached close by…
The priests and bishops who had witnessed the power of the laser beams were all aghast, but the attack ca so swiftly and abruptly that before they could think of a way to cope, the terrifying beam had already swept across their bodies. Their Divine Protection, flimsy as paper, was easily penetrated. The horrified expressions remained on their faces as they were decapitated!
Only three sailing battleships, slightly farther away, were lucky enough to dodge the catastrophe, but the next mont, they were targeted by multiple cannons. The dormant Magic Crystal Cannons also began to charge, and a volley blew these ‘lucky’ ships into fragnts…
After the gunfire faded, the sea was littered with debris and blood flowed freely.
After crushing more than a dozen enemy ships that obstructed their path, the road ahead was clear. However, the sacrifice of this flank was not in vain, as the empire’s main fleet had already closed to within a few hundred ters.
Aurora acutely perceived the heart-palpitating energy fluctuations from behind… It was legendary Divine Arts!
On the huge flagship, Judgent Chief Joshua raised his staff, and his resonant voice echoed continuously across the sea!
“God brings down gentle rain and dew to form streams, rivers, and oceans are the creations of God, and the evil that steps on this ground shall be annihilated!”
The mont Joshua’s voice fell, the sea, tumultuous under the bombardnt, astonishingly began to rise!
Waves tens of ters high surged on the sea surface, rolling and thundering in a manner that swept everything in its devastating path, seemingly intent on engulfing the entire fleet at once!
The terror of the legendary Divine Arts changed the expressions of the wizards within the fleet, but they quickly organized a resistance.
[Frost Domain]
Six grand wizards and over a hundred official wizards cast spells together. The roaring waves froze at a visibly rapid pace—sprays of water coalesced into a massive wall of ice, positioned between the two fleets.
Intense laser beams reerged. A beam with a diater of only 0.05 milliters cleaved through the massive ice wall and struck the empire’s flagship behind it.
The speed of light was unimaginably fast. Although it was reduced in power after being obstructed and deflected by the solid ice, it only managed to slash a long gash through the Divine Protection on the hull of the flagship…
Seawater continuously poured in, causing the sailing battleship to beco unstable.
A trace of anger surged on Joshua’s face, and Divine Radiance glead from the staff in his hand. Just then, as if sensing sothing, he looked up towards the fog-enshrouded sky.
Fifty huge and intricately designed sky ships appeared in the distant sky, speeding toward this location.
“It is the alchemical creation of the wizards,” a serious Sirid remarked.
According to the kingdom’s scouts, it was these sky ships that had annihilated tens of thousands of the kingdom’s allied army.
Joshua, watching the sky ships draw nearer, sighed after a mont and spoke.
“Pass the command, we retreat!”
With these aerial forces joining, if they intended to forcibly enter Wizard Land, they would certainly have to pay an exceedingly heavy price.
Even he had to admit that these wizards indeed had an unparalleled advantage on the high seas.
