Chapter 478: Just This? Starting an Internal Strife
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
More than 1,600 Naga Guardians, led by Herald, swiftly surfaced from the depths of the water with the power of Ji Chen’s tides. Before the Bass Kingdom fleet could react, they successfully boarded the ships in a lightning-fast maneuver, catching them off guard.
The naval crew on these ships were caught completely off guard, without even decent weapons in their hands. They were slashed and crushed like fruits.
In addition to the Naga Legion, the Dragonblood Legion, and the Guardian Legion, which all had the capability to board ships, participated in this surprise attack. After the Naga Guardians initially gained control of the decks, they quickly emerged from the water and joined the action of slaying the enemy.
The decks were filled with screams as seawater mixed with blood and shredded flesh flowed into the sea.
As more and more enemies boarded the ships, the naval officers and sailors were in a panic. They tried to accelerate and escape, but no matter how they pulled the throttle, even at full speed, the ships showed no sign of moving forward.
“Get the ship moving!”
“The ship won’t budge!! The propellers may be damaged!”
Underwater, Lobster Guardian Knights stuffed clumps of seaweed into the propellers. When the blades started to turn, the seaweed instantly wrapped around them, jamming the propellers. Unless there were frogmen who could slowly cut them off underwater, or the ships were towed back to port by other vessels, there was no way they could generate any power.
Now, these warships were like iron coffins floating on the sea, completely immobilized.
In this situation, the Ocean Crown’s forces became even more audacious. Those legions that could only operate in the sea watched from the sides, eagerly waiting by the ship’s sides.
The Lobster Guardian Knights used their spears to impale any enemies who attempted to flee into the sea in a panic or were dragged into the water by their lobster mounts, ensuring they met a watery grave.
The Dragon Horn Catfish and Silver Sea Pixies worked in coordination with their allies who boarded the ships, clearing the resisting enemy soldiers from the decks.
As the battle raged on, the resistance from the Bass Kingdom grew weaker. Most of the surviving crew members retreated into the cabins, stubbornly resisting in the familiar corridors and passageways.
The Revered Envoy looked at the gruesome scene unfolding on the deck, with more and more crew members lying in pools of blood. She began to suspect.
Where did these creatures come from?
Clearly, they weren’t just passing by and attacking on a whim; they planned this in advance and possessed considerable intelligence.
Otherwise, how would some mindless sea creatures know to sabotage the propellers and leave the warships powerless?
“Old lady, what are you thinking about?”
A clear voice of a young girl brought her attention back.
The Revered Envoy chuckled softly, “Child, it seems you know my identity, so can you get these sea creatures outside to leave? Otherwise, with so many casualties, it’s going to be difficult for a young lady like me.
Anina looked surprised, “You’re calling yourself a young lady at your age. Don’t you feel shame?
You Deceivers wear masks all the time, not showing your true faces. Old lady, are you ashamed to show us how you look because you’re too ugly?”
The smile on the Revered Envoy’s face gradually disappeared.
This annoying child was really hateful.
“Hasn’t your master told you that speaking like this is impolite?”
“Look, you’re getting agitated.”
The Revered Envoy’s mouth twitched, her fists clenched, and her temples bulged with anger.
“You sharp-toothed little brat, I hope your strength matches your mouth, or else I’ll use iron wire to sew your mouth shut.”
She suddenly flashed forward like a phantom, appearing right in front of Anina. A dangerous runic blade slipped out from her sleeve, gleaming with a menacing edge, and stabbed straight at her.
Anina’s pupils slightly contracted as her extensive combat experience instinctively made her take a step back to evade. However, in the next moment, she regretted her decision because it exposed the position of the door.
The Revered Envoy’s eyes lit up, and she transformed into a phantom once more, passing through the doorway onto the open deck.
Seeing the Revered Envoy now on the spacious deck, Anina felt a bit frustrated. She initially planned to trap this woman with the golden mask in the narrow cabin and shut the door, but now that she had escaped, it would be difficult to execute that plan.
Slightly annoyed, Anina regained her resolve and charged forward, wielding her Dragon Slayer Great Sword.
She casually cut down several Bass Kingdom soldiers blocking her path and swung the sword like a staff. The Revered Envoy once again used her phantom-like flash to evade this attack, and a frosty aura materialized in her hand. With a flick of her wrist, the frost transformed into a dozen ice blades that flew toward Anina.
Without hesitation, Anina used her Dragon Slayer Great Sword to shatter them.
However, as the ice blades shattered, they clung to the sword like a festering sore, enveloping it in deep blue ice that quickly spread toward her arm and even began creeping toward her body.
“Ugh, such a hassle.”
Anina’s face showed a hint of impatience. This woman with the golden mask was proving to be the most troublesome opponent she had ever encountered. She always kept her distance and used spells to hinder Anina’s movements.
She clenched her arm tightly and exerted force, causing the encasing ice to shatter.
Her small mouth opened slightly, and the sound of an ancient Dragon Whale, capable of cracking stone and piercing the clouds, suddenly resonated, leaving all nearby enemy soldiers, including the Revered Envoy, stunned in their tracks.
[Warrior’s Intimidation (Red skill, can forcibly stun enemies for 1 to 20 seconds with a roar, and even annihilate the souls of lower-level beings, the effect depends on the rank and level of the enemy and us)]
Forget about 20 seconds; even a mere half-second could have determined the outcome of the battle and the matters of life and death between formidable foes..
