Chapter 1116: Using Otherworld Adventurers to Counter Otherworld Adventurers
Chapter 1116: Using Otherworld Adventurers to Counter Otherworld Adventurers
On the Evernight River, six large ships carrying players cut through the waves, sailing downstream with the wind at their backs.
More than twenty smaller merchant ships, each crewed by Water Specters, pursued them closely from behind.
As for the thirteen smaller merchant ships that the players had captured, they had to abandon them due to a lack of crew members.
On the stern of the six large ships, the player mages stood in a line, firing off Frost Arrows toward the water behind the ships.
The Frost Arrows pierced the water at an angle, the cold energy spreading out and forming various-sized ice chunks on the water's surface.
Some mages organized themselves to cast Frost Arrows and Ice Spikes on the same area of water, successfully creating a large field of floating ice.
This floating ice caused significant trouble for the Water Specter's smaller merchant ships.
These smaller ships, being quite light, were prone to capsizing if they collided with the floating ice at high speeds.
The Water Specter fleet had no choice but to slow down.
As the floating ice created a barrier, the distance between the two fleets gradually widened.
As the Water Specter fleet gradually disappeared from view, Snow Leopard, standing atop the ship, revealed a satisfied smile.
At the same time, on the second deck of the battleship, Su Yu reported the battle situation to Princess Eliza and General Su He.
"Princess Eliza, General Su He, we have repelled this batch of Water Specters. Furthermore, the floating ice created by our mages will prevent the Water Specter fleet from catching up to us."
"Very well done, Su Yu!" Princess Eliza praised him.
General Su He also looked at him with approving eyes.
"However," Su Yu's tone shifted, "based on my estimation, these suicidal attacks are meant to buy time."
Then, Su Yu detailed his hypothesis.
After listening to Su Yu's theory, General Su He nodded in agreement. "Your theory makes sense. I also believe that Landilus is not ready, otherwise, he wouldn't send his subordinates to their deaths."
"Then, General, what should we do?" Princess Eliza's expression turned anxious.
"Rest assured, Your Highness." General Su He bowed to the princess. "I will order the fleet to proceed at full speed. Before Landilus completes his interception, I will ensure your safe departure!"
"Thank you." Princess Eliza heaved a sigh of relief. "Once we return to Golden Finch City, I will certainly inform my father and recommend generous rewards for you and Su Yu!"
"Thank you, Your Highness!" General Su He and Su Yu replied in unison.
Meanwhile, in the downstream town of Kashi, which lay along the Evernight River and was a mandatory stop for the princess's fleet.
In the eastern sky above Kashi, four figures were flying toward the Evernight River.
At the lead was a sturdy, blonde warrior, the leader of the Karter rebels and a Sixth-Rank Sacred Domain powerhouse, Duke Landilus.
Following him were two Seventh-Rank Legendary warriors and a Sixth-Rank Sacred Domain spatial mage.
"We have arrived." Duke Landilus looked at the picturesque scenery of Kashi and smiled. "I didn't expect Princess Eliza to change her route at the last minute and choose to travel by water. But it doesn't matter; we can still intercept her. Master Andriadus, it's up to you this time!"
"Leave it to me, Duke Landilus!"
Andriadus, a Sixth-Rank spatial mage, appeared as a spirited, white-bearded old man.
He flew toward the Evernight River.
Upon reaching the river, Andriadus planted spatial coordinates along the pre-determined river path.
Hum——
A bright white spatial magic array spread across the water, its hexagram radiating brilliant light. Large swaths of white, symbolizing teleportation, flashed, and four massive warships were teleported here from a river several kilometers away.
Lantilus nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the four large warships and the soldiers on the river.
As expected of Master Antonidas! There are very few in the world who can perform group teleportation over such distances!
Lantilus turned to one of the Seventh-Rank powerhouses behind him. "Sir Turalyon, how is Madeleine's condition?"
This Seventh-Rank powerhouse was named Turalyon, a middle-aged male Holy Knight.
"Madeleine" was the Holy Knight who fought against the Dark Priestess Sivan during the "Defense of the Giant Tree Canyon." Turalyon and Madeleine were close friends, and he had been trying his best to treat her near-fatal injuries.
Turalyon shook his head gravely. "Madeleine's injuries are very severe. While she won't die under my care, her condition won't improve within the next five years. After that, even if her strength recovers, it won't reach her peak."
"Is that so?" Lantilus sighed. "Then I'll leave the task of dealing with the Dark Priestess Sivan to you!"
"Leave it to me!" Turalyon said solemnly. "Light and Shadow are eternal enemies, and it is our duty to eliminate the Shadow!"
As he spoke, Turalyon glanced at another Seventh-Rank powerhouse floating beside them, filled with disdain.
This Seventh-Rank powerhouse was a young girl, no more than twelve or thirteen years old, dressed in black robes and a black hat. However, she was enveloped in a thick aura of undead.
"Damn necromancer," Turalyon thought, feeling particularly uncomfortable fighting alongside a necromancer.
"Hey, big guy, what are you looking at?" The girl noticed Turalyon's gaze and lightly waved her wand, smiling. "I was invited by the Duke to deal with the Morning Star. Keep staring at me like that, and I'll get angry!"
Lantilus quickly intervened to smooth things over. "Sir Turalyon, this is Master Walnut. Master Walnut is a very powerful warrior, and with her, we can handle the Star Cat Morning Star."
"Hmm!" The girl named Walnut giggled and playfully winked at Turalyon.
Turalyon frowned slightly but said nothing more.
...
At this moment, the great spatial mage Antonidas flew back from the river.
He heard the conversation between Turalyon and Walnut but didn't pay it much mind.
He smiled at Lantilus. "Your Grace, I heard about Madeleine's failure at Giant Tree Canyon. I analyzed the reasons for her defeat, and the primary cause was Princess Alizeta's use of the power of 'Interdimensional Adventurers.'"
"Interdimensional Adventurers?"
"Exactly." Antonidas slowly explained, "These adventurers are endless. They can die and be reborn. Though they are weak now, once their levels rise, they will become a formidable force!"
"How should we deal with this variable of 'Interdimensional Adventurers'?" Lantilus asked humbly, without arguing.
"It's simple. We can use Interdimensional Adventurers to fight against Interdimensional Adventurers!" Antonidas stroked his white beard and smiled confidently.
