Chapter 436 Undercurrent Navy
The Mirror of Truth's [Shadow Barrier] requires half of the user's life force and mana to activate... When activated, it forms a continuously rotating mana black hole that devours all tangible energy...
Including health, mana, elemental damage, etc...
Lasting 30 minutes...
Lorraine actually doesn't have much magic power or life force left...
When he reaches the highest point on the island, it would be ideal if he could avoid using his trump card...
Black holes seem dangerous no matter how you look at it, especially the description of them indiscriminately swallowing everything...
Lorraine had no intention of trying out the so-called ultimate move of the Shadow Power.
......
Meanwhile, outside Atonement Island, the wreckage of two Scarlet Crusade warships floated in the nearest harbor... They originally had three ships in total; two had capsized on the battlefield, and the third was lingering around, searching for any potential rebels in the nearby waters.
This ship can also provide some fire support for the Crimson Commando team that lands on the island...
However, just as the warship approached the most prominent corner of the outer edge of Gilneas Bay, it crashed into a group of reefs.
The navigator then saw a large expanse of black sails rushing towards them...
The hull looked old and dilapidated, a grayish-black color, not like a hull operated by a living person...
The banner was tattered and worn, but Lorraine recognized it as Sylvanas's emblem on the island... A black, tattered banner bore the image of a broken white female mask, with scythes and hammers stuck on either side—the Grim Reaper's scythe and a rusty warhammer...
The banner of the Dark Queen of Undercity... Dark Tide Navy, the Dark Tide!
……
Putting aside the situation on the island, the sea was bustling with activity.
The Undercity navy finally appeared at the cape. The Dark Tide fleet's ships looked dirty and black, yet they too could fire cannons and giant crossbows... Despite their tattered, leaky sails, their speed was astonishing, like black swords of death weaving through the reefs...
They were engaged in battle with one of the main fleets of the Scarlet Crusade...
The bloodsails are rising, not from the Bloodsail Pirates, but from the Scarlet Crusade navy, which shares the same lineage as the Kul Tirans...
Most of them were originally from Kul Tiras, and many were fishermen living by the sea...
Faced with the sudden attack from the Black Tide undead fleet, this human squadron, which was outnumbered, instead anchored its position, systematically tilted its ships, and took turns firing from one side of its cannons...
Facing the rapidly approaching Dark Tide and the Forsaken speedboat assault squadron, the Crimson Crew at the forefront, disregarding the wind, waves, torrential rain, cannonballs, and arrows, engaged in fierce combat with the Forsaken who boarded the ships. Many Forsaken soldiers, under the cover of the large gunboats behind them, quietly surfaced from the water and launched a surprise attack on the ships...
They clashed head-on, creating quite a spectacle.
In reality, it is brutal and intense, with people falling into the sea from time to time.
Lorraine stared in disbelief, rain lashing her face as the waves crashed higher and higher.
A thunderclap exploded above his head.
He hadn't realized that the outside world had expanded from land to sea...
Soon, both sides suffered losses... Several fast boats crashed into the reefs, became stuck, and capsized, but the sailors and soldiers on board continued to fight. Under cannon fire, the wooden boats easily caught fire.
Lorraine finally discovered that beneath the rudimentary battlefield lay a makeshift power unit... seemingly the work of goblins...
The explosive thrust and extreme acceleration propelled the warship closer, causing it to crash into obstacles and shatter...
The Forsaken are fearless in the face of death, but the Scarlet Warriors seem even more frenzied. Upon seeing the undead, each one reacts as if facing a mortal enemy, muttering curses of revenge, purification, holy light, and the names of their loved ones. Their hands move ceaselessly, each taking cover at the firing ports and forcefully igniting the cannons...
In the midst of a raging storm, how could an old-fashioned dwarven cannon possibly ignite its gunpowder fuse?
It's because... both sides in the war possess magic!
The Scarlet Crusade not only had its own gunners and craftsmen, but also hired many dwarves, gnomes, goblins, and Blackwater pirates as technicians to help build the battlefield... With the fusion of magic, chemistry, and alchemy, they were equipped with a variety of incredibly powerful Gothic steam cannons, which also had mechanical power systems.
The two sides fought back and forth...
The Dark Tide Navy of Undercity, which appeared to have thirty more ships than the Scarlet Fleet, launched a surprise attack under the cover of torrential rain and towering waves, but gained little advantage...
Humans are indeed clever, consistently holding the advantage at sea; there's a reason why tribes have always been at a disadvantage...
The two sides fought for an unknown amount of time. While still shocked, Lorraine remembered her business...
Terra, the blood elf mage of the Sunreaker squad, was nowhere to be seen, nor were the human refugees who had fled earlier... The entire island was littered with bones; Lorraine felt as if she were witnessing a true graveyard...
The next second he was puzzled; a familiar scent lingered on the skeleton...
It wasn't the so-called smell of the dead, nor the disgusting stench of rotting zombies and bones. It was more like the lingering necromantic aura of the vengeful spirits he had once unleashed with mercury-like force, which had activated a raging army of undead.
"Aren't these things in town? They're the tools I got to deal with werewolves... how did they get here? Can they fly? Did they teleport to the island?"
Lorraine scratched his head in frustration... unfortunately, he didn't have much flesh on his neck...
"Child... do you think you're just standing here like an idiot, waiting for the monsters down below to come and eat you?"
The teacher's weak voice came through...
The teacher seems very anxious... the danger is not over.
The clash of gunboats at sea is certainly exciting, as are the ship-grabbing scenes reminiscent of Caribbean pirates, with their sword fights and flying sawdust... The human soldiers of the Crimson Navy bravely battle the Forsaken swordsmen...
A battle between the living and the dead, lives fading away one after another, warships being utterly destroyed by the waves...
Floating corpses and pieces of wood from the sea almost completely covered the surrounding strait...
Upon closer inspection, Lorraine finally noticed Hua Dian...
The thunderous roar of the naval battle was deafening... and the fighting on the island was equally fierce! On the left cliff side, Lorraine noticed the blood elf squad continuously unleashing illuminating magical fireworks...
A fight is taking place at the foot of a cliff by the sea...
On the relatively flat right side, leading down to the bay cemetery on the island, several groups were engaged in a chaotic battle... The landing boats were damaged, and it seemed people were fighting over small boats, trying to escape this hellish island...
The torrential rain continues...
The rain washed away the blood of sin... The situation of the Faceless One, Born, in the dungeon behind him was unknown; the monster hadn't shown itself yet... Perhaps it was stuck because of its enormous size... Lorraine couldn't help but wonder... He didn't know where to run...
As the Blood Elf squad's fireworks rose into the sky again, the person on the left looked very anxious, seemingly calling for help...
There are no ships on the sea outside the island. Now it's all battlefield gunboats. Both sides are constantly at a loss. How could anyone possibly come to the rescue of Redemption Island... Lorraine wondered. As he looked up, a giant dragon eagle swept across the sky, letting out a crisp cry.
"It turns out it's them!"
......
"No, there's something else. What is it?"
The dragon eagle wasn't there to rescue anyone; behind it was a large swarm of flying creatures whose true forms were obscured...
......
