One of the knights on the pioneer ship spoke, “This will be a piece of cake for us. Our enormous fleet is enough to frighten and intimidate them. I'm sure those guys pissed their pants after watching this huge fleet of ours and just followed orders because they were afraid of their superiors. “
Another old knight spoke carefully, “But we cannot underestimate them, I heard the balista has a range of about 350 meters and can do a lot of damage to the ship. Last time one of the patrols suffered the same thing because they underestimated that ballad ”
The young knight shrugged and spoke,” You are worried for no reason, Old Man. This time, we have a number advantage and a tactical advantage like we have ambushed them. They couldn't possibly anticipate this attack as this was a secret mission. I will make sure those people feel the wrath of the provoking Laguna home knights. “
The Old Knight sighed as he said, “This is your first war boy, you don't understand anything. War is not something anyone can predict. The cornered rabbit is something we should be aware of and that is the reason why you are not “I understand war. However, stay behind me kids or you'll be consumed as cannon fodder. We have already reached, be prepared and do not be disturbed.”
The vanguard soon reached the firing range of Eric's Fleet Ballista.
Sean roared and soon the sound of fire started roaring throughout the area. The sea animals were frightened after hearing the fire of the ballistas as they made a distance for themselves. Even the usually aggressive Hydra did not approach the battle area.
The ballad was fired indiscriminately by Eric's men without trepidation. There were many voices and excited cheers coming from the Fjord naval fleet while they were charging. On the sidelines, there was a calmness as soon as the balista connected with the vanguard from both sides. There was a surprise from both sides once the ballista connected with the ship. Other than Eric and Sean, no one knew about the true firepower and range of this secret projectile. There was a pause from Shannon's fleet while Eric's troops cheered as they felt hope for the first time after watching them.
The first ships hit by the ballista were immediately burned due to fire and wind magic in the projectile. This is added by the fact that mini-ballistas are fired with an oil flask attached to them whenever a ship approaches them.
The men on the ballad-hit boats are fighting for their lives while some are helping their already-burned mates.
One of the knights, who was previously very enthusiastic with a hoarse voice spoke after watching one of his friends burn, “What is this, I never thought we would face this kind of terrible weapon. What is this weapon? We never got a report on these weapons. ”
This scene was happening everywhere as they tried to save their people. Many died in the flames of this vicious ballad of rage. Many of the officers' private cabins were burned. It was chaos everywhere as one of the helmsmen also caught fire as they advanced.
The young knight looked with angry eyes at Eric who had a cold expression on his face as he gave the order to shoot the ships one by one nonstop.
The knight took his sword and was about to charge into the sea when the old man held him back. “So, do you understand, what is war? You will die if you attack for no reason. Remember we are the ones trying to attack them, not the other way around,”
Eric did not even look at the young knight. For the first time the young knight felt helpless.
Eric was very excited to observe the ship Grim and Darius who were behind the front row.
Meanwhile, Grim was quite surprised by this sheer brute strength.
Grim asked one of his men, “Hei, are there any reports showing this type of weapon from this balista?”
Subordinated replied with a hint of fear when he saw Grim, “No, Sir. I think this is their new weapon that they have been preparing for a long time and are in use today. What we are seeing is a completely new weapon. Its range, as well as the firepower of this weapon, exceeds what we know in advance from our reports. “
Grim spoke sadly as he looked at the other ships, “It seems, this is one of their trump cards. I guess we have miscalculated in this attack. We'll die if we follow the front lines. From my guesses, they used a secret projectile without the slightest bit of regret. Waste of valuable secret projectiles. It looks like we have come face to face with a cornered rabbit this time and they are finally forced to use it. ”
Shannon was quite surprised by the firepower and range of the ballista.but she kept her cool and ordered her men, “Not to be afraid, keep up the demands, our mission this time is to get the Ballista. And if we run at this point then this operation will end with no results. We will try to involve them in the melee and try to focus on one of their ships. “
Meanwhile Darius hoarsely shouted at the captain of his ship, “No, we cannot follow this vanguard that is even less sturdy than a stack of papers. We will be damned if we go any further. And that son of a bitch Eric was keeping an eye on our ship when we entered the firing range. We'll die a dead dog if we move any further. Follow my orders, forget about Shannon, turn west. We're moving back. ”
Grim thought, ‘I am glad I bought Darius with me or it would be a shame for me to escape alone. Both Eric and Sean were staring at us like hungry wolves. “
The young knight on one of the vanguard ships was greatly shocked and shocked after witnessing one of the ships changing their direction without any orders.
The young knight roared as he looked, “This damn traitor.” But he was soon pulled back, though,
The Old Man roared as he entered between the arrow and the young knight, “Come back, Son. You can be controlled by your emotions very quickly ”
One of the arrows from Eric's ship hit Old Man when he tried to save the boy.
The knight spoke in a hoarse voice when he saw the old man hit him, “Old Brother! Why are you doing this just to save me?”
The old man smiled as he spoke and recalled his past, “It's nostalgic, you remind me of my past when I joined the knights. You know I regret joining sometimes, but I feel happy too after seeing a young man like you join the knight order. Protect yourself well in the future. I'm not gonna be there. “
The young knight was constantly healing the old men with light magic as he hoarsely spoke, “Do not speak Nonsense, Old Man. I will bring you back alive from hell even if I need to. I'll use all my light magic to save you. ”
The old man laughed a little as he coughed and spoke,” I am too old for this, young man. You don't have to chase that ship in retaliation if you can get out alive from this ordeal. That's Lord Grim and Darius' ship. You will die worse than a dog if you chase them. You are a Magic Knight with light magic. You should use this ability well for your well-being. ”
The young man continued to cry as he nodded and focused on the ship and its enemies shooting arrows blindly so that no arrows hit them.
The old man had a little trouble asking the young man, “I forgot to ask your name, young man.”
The knight was quite surprised because the old man saved him without knowing his name.
The young knight spoke with tears in his eyes, “My name is Juan. Don't talk anymore, Old Man. You've been bleeding a lot.”
The old man smiled and closed his eyes when he heard it, “I'm happy ”
One of Juan's friends spoke up when he saw Juan continuously healing the Old Man even after the old man died so he decided to break the ice and tell him. “Wah, the old man is dead. Leave him.”
Juan roared violently and shook his hand, “No …! He could not die before he mentioned his name. He saved me without knowing anything about me. Goddamn bum. We're here sacrificing our lives and those bastards enjoying the glory when we win and throwing us in the hole to save them when everything goes south. Where is their honor to die in such a situation? ”
All the men on the ship were shocked after hearing it, although everyone knew about this but no one dared to vehemently oppose against their superiors. The captain of the ship smiled as he looked at Juan and ignored him.
The couple shut Juan's mouth as he took him elsewhere. He spoke, “Yeah, I either react quickly or I will also get involved with you. Do you have a son deathwish?”
Juan remained silent as he recalled the old man's first words and decided to remember them for a long time in the future. He followed his partner as the war was going on.
Vice admiral of the ship Shannon reported to Shannon, “Captain our orders are being violated by Lord Grim and Darius and this caused a lot of chaos, Darius caused a disturbance by changing the direction of the ship. Many ships have stopped and collided with each other causing numerous injuries to many ships and people. “
