The Soldiers dove deeper into the water as they used the water jets on their hands and feet to move. Their speed is extremely high and they reached the Adrian fleet and a few minutes.
They didn’t waste any time and started taking out some cylindrical metallic objects from their spatial rings.
There are two sections of the metallic object, divided by a small partition horizontally.
The soldiers held the upperparts and twisted it. The upper part rotated without any motion in the lower one and after turning it for a few rounds, they stuck the lower part that has some kind of sticky substance on the bottom to the ship.
They did this rapidly and almost every ship is marked.
They started moving away as soon as they did this. But they didn’t move too far.
After a minute or so.
Continuous explosions could be heard even from under water one after another and they waited underwater for the shock wave and the wave of water created by this shockwave to pass.
The Ships started drowning with large holes on the bottom of their hulls. After the shock wave has passed, the troops started moving towards the wreckage.
Those blasts are clearly not strong enough to kill all those people. At most, it would only damage the people who are on the lowest levels of the ship and the damage might be just some slight concussion.
Now, they will still be in a state of shock as they fell into the water and try their best to recover from it.
This is the best time.
The hundred Flatfish puppet soldiers started moving like some predators of water and started attacking the troops that just fell inside. The pikes zoomed past in the water as their pierced their targets.
Along with this, many water bullets, water spears, and many other water elemental spells ravaged the whole sea.
By this time, Adrian came running along with his troops to make sense of the situation.
He didn’t know what was happening when the explosions occurred and still took some time to come out of the shock.
As the massacre of hundreds of people occurred, he looked at it in disbelief and commanded.
"Go and engage immediately, don’t let them get away no matter what."
The soldiers behind him, who are also in the same level of shock started jumping into the water without waiting any further. But the only ones who jumped are warriors. Because, the mages who don’t have water element, didn’t dare to jump inside the water when facing hundred water elemental mage elites.
That would be suicide irrespective of the number.
They stood on the docks as they started shooting with long-range spells. But no matter how much they tried, they couldn’t get a clean hit. The Flatfish puppet troops are slippery like eels.
They just started moving towards the Warships after finishing. When the Adrian troops started recovering their bodies, they couldn’t help but feel angry as they saw that not one of them has their spatial ring attached. Not only that, the beast troop which always acted as a support for their naval troops, are also gone, they completely took everybody of it.
This made them extremely frustrated. They didn’t expect that something would happen. Almost all of their ships are destroyed and only a few of them remained. Who would have thought that the western continent’s army would be able to make such a move?
Now, Adrian is thinking whether they should continue the war or if they should take this beating and wait for the opportunity. Because, at this moment, there are no significant Naval troops left. He has to wait for the other naval troops which are stationed in the sea border with another empire under the control of the thunder god temple to move here if he wants to battle in water.
Otherwise, it would be of no use. But still, it would be too much if they lost this situation just like that. The morale of the troops would hit rock bottom. Almost a thousand people are down at this moment. And the only people who are save from the Naval troops are the ones who are not on watch duty.
Otherwise, the casualty count would be significantly higher.
After some time, he said. "Send out Green Wind Sea Hawk troops. Don’t engage too directly follow the battle of attrition. Wear them down slowly. At most, they only have a thousand troops on the ship.
Destroy them as much as possible.
Don’t let them retreat at all costs, you guys get ready on the land, they would have only this way to save themselves, if they don’t want to die in the sea. Let them swim back to the Western continent in the sea if they dare."
"Your Majesty. The Sea Hawk troops are minimum in number and they can be used as support in the Naval warfare. If the stress is too high and something happened to them, then the situation wouldn’t be too good for us. We have already incurred severe losses."
The commander from the side advised.
"Then what do you want to do? The morale will hit rock bottom at this range. It would still take time for our troops to gather. We have to make some damage, even if we can’t take them down at this moment.
We shouldn’t let their troops have too high of a morale and once again attack us. It would be too dangerous."
As soon as he said this, the commander didn’t refuse at all and started making his move. Soon, three beasts soared into the sky.
They are in Sea green color and extremely fast.
There are soldiers riding these beasts as they made their way towards the Western Continent troops.
They reached the top of the fleet within no time and started attacking. The formations of the two warships activated and defended the attacks. As for the rest of the troops, they also took out their flying beasts from the Beast pouches and started flying to confront in an aerial battle.
The beasts started roaring in the sky as the midnight silence was torn apart.
The wind blades of the Seahawks are directed at the troops, while the water attacks coming from its mouth are directed at other beasts.
Arc looked at the surroundings calmly. Even though the Sea Hawk troops are strong, it is not strong to the point they are invincible.
His troops although didn’t have the same beasts as their mounts, it is still not bad, they have their own suitable beasts as their mounts.
As the battle continued, Arc noticed that his troops are slowly forced into a corner and being surrounded. The Sea Hawk troops seemed to have more experience in this type of aerial battle.
The people on the ship who are here for land battle couldn’t help much. Some archers and mages are doing their best to help, but there are no significant results. The opponents are just too strong and co-ordinated.
Arc didn’t panic though; the aerial war far wouldn’t be decided just by surrounding them. He looked at the commander of the two warships under Sam’s control and gestured to him. Follow current novᴇls on No(ᴠ)ᴇlFire.nᴇt
The Commander smiled and started giving his orders.
And all of a sudden, the upper decks of the two warships opened up. The floor of the upper deck turned out to be a large metallic door.
There are eight cannon barrels that started extending upwards. They have stepped cross-section. Some soldiers went into the room and entered the controlling areas of the cannons. There are four of them.
These cannons are not too long and too big. They are actually quite small when compared to the normal cannons on the side of the ship and they are even thin.
When the shooters are already in place, they activated the cannons and a large metallic pike appeared in the barrel of the cannon. The shooters started injecting the spiritual energy from the neutral energy cells within the cannon body and converted it into their own elemental energy as they fused it into the cannon.
This is a new type of cannon which doesn’t need fire elemental users to shoot. Because Sam made a trigger mechanism that works on the basic fire type inscription which works as soon as the spiritual energy is injected.
Actually, there is a catch in this type of trigger because they are not suitable for permanent use. But Sam temporarily implemented this method, but placing the space jade in the gas accumulating chamber, this small space jade is fitted into the small hollow cylinder and it sends out a small disc which will have this inscription on it after it is activated, it will be useless and be sent back into the space jade and replaced by another disc.
Since there is a lot of inscription masters and students in the school who would practice, he decided to utilize that practice for the benefit of the troops. Which resulted in accumulating a lot of these.
After all, these are the basics and it is extremely beneficial for the inscription masters to practice for a solid foundation and the students are doing this without any pressure.
The metallic pike lit up with runes as the elemental energy condensed on it. Each shooter has different elemental energy and metallic pike is surrounded with such energy.
As they activated the trigger and shot the pikes, they tore through the air and pierced the seahawks.
