Now one month later.

This group of guys who rely on the supply line of Cyrus have become very good at using ambushes.

Even with the most basic "Fog Silver Lamp" to summon heavy fog, Milan has experience.

It no longer directly adjusts the concentration to the highest level as before, blocking others in front of it like a wall of fog. Instead, it controls different ranges from light to thick, making it subtle and natural like a normal rising fog.

No matter how vigilant a person is, they will not discover something is wrong in a short period of time.

Then there will be another wave of seabird air strikes, depending on the situation, using "Sleeping Potion" for hypnosis, "Voodoo Potion" for strong poison, "Elf" for arson or even "Alchemy Bomb".

For ordinary transport ships, after going through these first two steps, they are only qualified to be "touched with corpses".

In fact, most of the encounters in the past month have been like this. The supply ship and the pirates on all sides did not even see the shadow of the enemy, and they were defeated by Ivan's side's "conspiracy" in a daze.

The crews of the two ships basically won all the way, and there were very few opportunities to actually start a fleet artillery battle. Some officers and soldiers even felt that they had gained a lot of weight during this period.

One trick can be used all over the world, and this ambush plan is no exception.

Although we were concerned about the presence of legal priests on the ship and did not dare to let the seabirds get too close, we could still make a general assessment of the strength of the ship's personnel simply by looking at the specifications of the warship.

In the fleet consisting of three cruisers and a third-level battleship, there should be at least five formal knights, plus one legal priest, one more than our own.

However, as long as they are not dragged into the boarding battle by the Cyrus warships, which they claim to be invincible, the superiority of the transcendent in long-distance artillery battles is not that obvious.

What's more, the initiative is in your own hands, you can fight or run away if you want.

Coupled with the two strategically important marine treasures, the "Misty Silver Lamp" and the "Artillery Command Knife", Ivan felt that his side's chances of winning were not small.

Although he was somewhat enthusiastic about the third-level ship "Stardenburg" itself and the various supplies it carried, under the current comparison of strength, he could not care about the loot for the time being.

The first goal is to kill the opponent's vitality.

slowly.

Watching the other party enter the ambush circle he had prepared, Aiwen gave the order decisively.

"Bess! The entire air force is dispatched!"

Pulling-

Pulling-

Except for the needle-tailed swift because of its small size, all the seabirds took to the air.

The talons of the nineteen large seabirds are holding two clusters of alchemical bombs. Now the "Stormhorn" has sufficient reserves of alchemical bombs, and there is no fear of waste.

With the huge power of the alchemy bomb and the clay pot specially wrapped by Ivan.

As long as the cluster bomb falls on the deck of the cruiser, it is enough to wipe out all the ordinary soldiers on the entire deck, directly knocking out all the firepower on the upper main deck.

What White Seagull is holding in his hand is all kinds of things, from "Sleeping Potion", "Voodoo Potion", "Elf" and even "Frenzy Potion" that even makes the crew of "Stormhorn" have lingering fears when they hear the name.

..everything you need.

No matter which kind of magic potion is dropped, it is enough for Silius's soldiers to drink a pot.

During normal navigation.

The Hilius fleet adopted the form of a single column with the "Stardenburg" serving as both the flagship and the lead ship, with three cruisers lined up behind it.

But after encountering increasingly dense sea fog, the signal flag of the flagship "Stardenburg" was waved.

Their formation gradually changed, and the three cruisers guarded the slowest "Stardenburg" in the middle, acting as the escort for this large battleship.

No matter in terms of military quality or reaction speed, they are far beyond what the pirate fleet can match.

but.

The concentration of the fleet played into Ivan's plan. The denser the formation, the more conducive to the power of the "bomb".

Seeing that the air force has gradually arrived over the naval fleet, the two fourth-level ships are also advancing simultaneously in a standard battle line formation, ready to seize the opportunity to beat the drowned dog at any time.

suddenly.

The needle-tailed swift, still sticking to its investigative position, sent back a picture.

On the deck of the third-class ship "Stardenburg", escorted by two heavily armed soldiers of Cyrus, a curly-haired clergyman wearing a white background and red edge robes boarded the forecastle of the ship.

In a constantly burning pottery brazier, golden holy oil is dripped into the blazing yellow flame that rises more than one meter high.

The cleric raised his hands and chanted devoutly:

"Eternal fire! Burning!

Bonfires drive away wild beasts;

Fire destroys enemies;

The beacon lights the way forward;

....."

[Divinity·Lava Pupils!]

A bright yellow line of fire shot straight into the sky from the pottery pot, and an eye bigger than the head opened at the top of the mainmast, which was nearly 60 meters away from the third-class ship.

Blinking his eyes like rolling lava, his bright yellow pupils shot out a brilliant divine light that easily penetrated the fog and swept towards the sea, sky and all places that the clergy found suspicious.

"MD, the legal profession is troublesome. If there is any slight disturbance, you have to ask the gods for divination!

Can't wait any longer, Bass! Drop the bomb now!"

Although he has not yet reached the optimal position, Ivan still decisively issued the order.

Because he knows.

No matter what, the patriarch of the "Eternal Fire" Church is much stronger than the original wild wizard Aklava of the "Eagle Spirit".

If he discovers the air raid troops in advance, no matter what kind of response is made, it is not what Ivan wants to see.

Phew! Phew! Phew!....

The bomber formation suddenly dropped all the "bombs" in its paws.

At this time, the scope of the air attack had covered most of the two cruisers and the third-class battleship.

at the same time.

Edmund, who was using the magic of detection, also discovered the sneaky group of seabirds above his head, as well as the various "bombs" just dropped by them.

I didn't expect that I just felt something was wrong and I did a routine check, but someone actually attacked me, and it seemed that he was a wizard who could control seabirds!

"Damn wizard, don't even think about it!"

With his curly hair fluttering and his eyes wide open, this powerful cleric spoke solemnly and urgently as if he could burn others with prayers:

"The red flame is bright and shining, protecting us from suffering!"

【Divinity·Holy Protection!】

A huge barrier that glowed slightly red quickly expanded with the brazier as the center, as if a giant umbrella held up by a giant blocked the fleet's head.

The appearance of war is a duel between "spear" and "shield". Whoever is stronger will have the advantage.

This time....

The barrier erected in a hurry looks extremely majestic, but the scope of defense is too large.

Moreover, the trigger mechanism of the alchemy bomb is that it will explode when it touches something, whether it is a battleship or...a magical barrier.

Boom! Boom! Boom!...

The first few bombs exploded after being blocked.

Easily tearing a large hole in the barrier, various other "bombs" that were a step behind fell again.

To be honest, this kind of physical barrier is not as effective against alchemy bombs and various potions as the violent wind summoned by the original wild wizard Aklava.

Those who are blocked by the barrier and triggered are not as likely to be killed by the first few bombs in mid-air.

At this time, no matter whether the cleric has a backup plan or not, there is no chance to cast the spell again.

However, his timely action was effective.

Affected by the explosion midway, most of the "bombs" were blown far away and deviated from their planned trajectory.

next moment.

Rumble——

Huge flames rose up, and the surface of a cruiser had been swept away. Then a bottle of green fog exploded on the deck, like a sticky amorphous monster, slowly flowing along the big hole in the middle of the deck.

Enter the lower gun deck.

but.

These soldiers, who had been in the New World for a long time, had at least dealt with the indigenous wizards, and when they saw that the situation was not going well, they jumped into the sea to escape.

Plop!...

The other cruiser within the attack range was not in much better condition.

Two "elves" with cute names came here and set fire to the masts and sails in a very unlovable way. They burned all the way along the deck, turning many Silius soldiers working here into tumbling burning men.

.

Only the third-tier battleship "Startenburg" was in slightly better condition, as the mizzen mast on the poop was blown off.

Although a bottle of "Madness Potion" exploded immediately, Edmund, who was waiting carefully, summoned a large flame and burned it in the blink of an eye.

Everything happens in the blink of an eye.

Whizzing!

After hearing the loud noise, as the figures swayed, the captain, Colonel Stanley, and the army commander, Colonel Reynolds Ban, had already rushed to the deck in the strong wind.

Looking at the two cruisers in miserable condition at sea, the two commanders' eyes were filled with tears.

"Damn it, who dares to attack the Kingdom Navy?!"

The boast they just boasted about Haikou was still ringing in their ears, but the slap in the face came so quickly, even their deep and deep city that had experienced battles for so long could not help but feel a little annoyed.

Next to him, Dean Edmond, took the time to use a magical spell again.

【Fire immunity!】

The power of the gods was instantly extinguished, and the billowing flames on the burning cruiser were extinguished, but the battleship's combat effectiveness was also depleted.

As soon as the battle started.

When the enemy didn't even show up, two cruisers were forced to withdraw from the battle.

Then, the equally angry cleric pointed his hand somewhere in the thick fog:

"I saw it, the enemy is right there!"

at the same time.

Amidst the roaring gunfire...
Chapter completed!
