Facing the aggressive advance of six alliance quasi-legendary warships.
Beisimo Gregory placed his hand on the prow of the "Eternal Imprisonnt Sacred Statue", on the ghostly figurehead bound with chains. Instantly, a layer of dark light spread out from it, enveloping their own quasi-legendary fleet.
A slightly cool sea breeze swept past.
The four quasi-legendary ships "Eternal Imprisonnt Sacred Statue", "Great Republic", "Freedom and Equality", and "Capitalist" belonging to the Republic Navy gradually began to vanish on the sea surface like bubbles.
Back then, the "Eternal Imprisonnt Sacred Statue" once used this move to cover an entire Pirate Alliance's surprise attack on White Whale Port. Now, hiding four warships is certainly no challenge.
As long as they keep their movents concealed, despite their own quasi-legendary warship numbers being at a disadvantage, they can still take the initiative, leisurely choosing between guerrilla warfare or sneak attacks.
However, at that mont.
"Click, click..." The "Sea Monster Compass" in Beisimo's bosom suddenly sounded.
This Commander's expression changed.
"Activate the 'Siren's..."
Before he finished speaking.
Boom!
The water exploded near the rudder at the warship's stern as a massive shadow, ahead of the incoming quasi-legendary, shot out from below the waters.
At this ti, "Thorny Crown Sea Serpent" Pipi had grown to over eighty ters long, its rough and thick steel body coiling around the stern of the "Eternal Imprisonnt Sacred Statue" like a python constricting its prey, shaking it desperately.
The ship's hull emitted creaking noises under unbearable stress, and the spreading layer of dark light was instantly shattered.
"An enemy-controlled sea monster?! Quickly, drive it away!"
"Damn it, open fire!"
But the soldiers who followed orders and swung their steel blades at Pipi found them utterly ineffective, apart from sparks flying off the steel scales; even an ordinary Official Knight couldn't harm the imnsely defensive giant serpent in the slightest.
The soft lead bullets striking it were as good as tickling.
At this mont, Pipi showed none of the docility it had in front of Aiven and Anita. Facing these little fleshy creatures dared to attack it, it displayed its violent nature as a large-class sea monster vividly.
It spat out a fiery red tongue thicker than a person's waist, cold light glimring in its narrow snake eyes, with deadly electrical sparks crackling on the thorn-like fan-shaped bone crown on its head.
Crackle——
A dazzling blue and white fan-shaped electric net burst forth, sweeping across the main deck of the "Eternal Imprisonnt Sacred Statue".
Without even having ti to scream, soldiers a little closer were turned into charcoal imdiately. Even those further away, not directly hit by the electric current, were paralyzed and temporarily lost their combat abilities.
However.
A large-class sea monster is far from being invincible in human national wars.
Swish!
A shadow dodged the electric net, its body wrapped in an icy blue [Cold Luminous Spirit], flying down from the mast, a sharp wrist blade flashing as it passed the giant serpent's neck.
The steel scale cracked, blood sprayed, and Pipi let out a pain-filled hiss.
Realizing a Tier 3 Transcendent had intervened, it no longer lingered in battle and slipped back into the water, releasing its hold on the "Eternal Imprisonnt Sacred Statue".
But even before the ship's crew could cheer for driving off the sea monster.
The "Storm Horn", leading the charge, already ramd its storm and torrent-ford ramming horn into the front side of the "Eternal Imprisonnt Sacred Statue".
Boom!
Anything within two ters of this ramming horn, whether planks or human bodies, was easily shredded by the storm and torrent. Even the heavy iron cannons on the artillery deck were twisted, deford, and flung hundreds of ters away.
Even the ghost figurehead bound by chains was knocked off, plunging into the sea.
The Republic's plan to temporarily avoid the sharp edge and initiate guerrilla warfare was completely dashed.
Then, accompanied by a tooth-grinding sound of ship planks breaking, "Storm Horn"'s half bow plowed into the forecastle of the "Eternal Imprisonnt Sacred Statue".
"Invincible in battle!"
"Invincible in battle!"
Amidst earth-shaking shouts, hundreds of Shark-n ignored the height difference between the Level 4 and Level 2 battleships, swarming onto the "Eternal Imprisonnt Sacred Statue" like a flood.
With the [White Shark Aura] of the [Ship's Figurehead: Storm Cape] activating, each of them reached the Peak of Apprentice level, enough to crush the supposedly unbeatable Hilus in close combat.
"Firearms Array, open fire!"
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!...
Without suspense, the hurriedly organized defense of the Republic Navy, just swept clean by Pipi, was easily torn by the Shark-n.
Long knives like mountains, blade light like snow, led by Boatswain Gary and a host of Extraordinary officers, a large number of Shark-n stord into the enemy's disordered formation like tigers among sheep.
"Ah, stop!"
"No——!"
Although the basic soldier quality among the alliances should not differ drastically, here it showed a one-sided disparity. Whether navy soldiers or elite pirates, they crumbled at the touch when facing the Shark-n.
Even though there were 350 on the Level 4 ship against 750 on the Level 2 ship, annihilating them all was just a matter of ti. Without the crew, a heavily ard Level 2 ship was just a sitting duck.
And at such a critical mont, it wasn't that the high-tier Transcendents on this warship didn't want to support the ordinary soldiers, but they were also in big trouble.
Boom——!
On the "Storm Horn", four figures, with either force field ripples breaking beneath their feet or Combat Qi Flas blazing, leapt into the air, charging like four rolling shooting stars toward the Tier 3 officers on the ship.
The "Eternal Imprisonnt Sacred Statue", as the fleet flagship, was highly equipped with Tier 3 Transcendent, except for Fleet Commander Beisimo Gregory, a Peak Grand Knight, there was also a Brigadier General at the Great Knight level and a Tier 3 Ghoul.
At this mont, they didn't hesitate to draw their swords and enter the sea to find a new battleground, with Annie and three Alchemists following closely behind.
Strong-willed Annie never had the habit of picking easy prey. She directly confronted the most powerful Beisimo, while the three Alchemists pursued the other high-tier Transcendents.
At the sa ti, not a soft-hearted nature, Annie directly challenged the strongest – Beisimo, and followed by the three Alchemists.
The "Brilliance" alongside the "Storm Horn" then approached from the other side of the now immobilized "Eternal Imprisonnt Sacred Statue."
Major General Demong Brand alongside, too, leaped with his sword into the fray, as everyone knew that a Tier 3 vs. three Tier 3s was hardly a certain victory.
And at that point, without hesitation, they drew their swords, launching the battle further into the sea. Annie, with three Alchemists imdiately pursued them.
Sensitive and strong-minded Annie doesn't have the habit of going after easy targets. She locked onto the strongest, Beisimo, directly pursuing him.
As the "Brilliance" drew alongside the already entangled and immobile "Eternal Imprisonnt Sacred Statue" from the other side.
Major General Demong Brand, himself wielded his sword and plunged into the sea, knowing well that killing a Tier 3 Transcendent was extrely difficult, even four against three could not guarantee capturing one.
And at this ti, the initiation of sea warfare between the high-ranking officers of both fleets began, shaping the extensive showdown.
On these quasi-Legendary warships of the Republic, there are a significant number of powerful Ghouls equipped, and even Tier 3 Ghouls are not uncommon.
Although in terms of fleet expansion, which is difficult in a short ti, the Republic Army is indeed at a disadvantage, the extraordinary power, with the strong support of the "Cold Monarch," is not much less.
Then.
Boom! Boom! Boom!...
Strong winds howled across the vast sea, with continuous thunderous explosions; it was the fierce confrontation between Tier 3 extraordinaries, like a mythological heroic battle.
Fortunately, the Tier 3 extraordinaries had already moved the battlefield; otherwise, the re aftershock of their combat would have been enough to destroy the warships beneath them.
Around the six against four, ten quasi-Legendary warships in total, was another battle scene.
Centering around three entangled warships, the warships from both sides engaged, so initiating boarding battles, others using single-ship duels that tested command ability, personnel quality, and warship performance more keenly.
On the "Eternal Imprisonnt Sacred Statue".
Clang! Clang!...
tal clashed, sparks flew.
At this ti, Heir, donned again in a school officer's uniform, had also reached close to the Tier 2 Peak level.
But now, with his whole body in full "Frenzy," his body was hunched, his eyes glowed eerie green, and his claw-like hands wore brass knuckles, clearly resembling a Ghoul.
Although most standing at the top of the power pyramid, the "Capitalists," were not yet planning to turn themselves into monsters, many others craving power did not mind.
Having once betrayed the Navy for power to join Hawkins, Heir was evidently one of them.
Moreover, compared to humans, Ghouls not only had imnse strength but also lived far longer, only having the minor side effect of requiring humans as their sole food source.
Just like as Heir punched and kicked with extrely fierce energy, far exceeding the sa level of human extraordinaries.
His opponents were the "Storm Horn" boatswain Gary, clad in Horn Shark hide, and the "Brilliance" sub-lieutenant Elante, clad in Blue Flag Demon Shark skin...
...
Dozens of kiloters away.
"i, prepare the front missile launching well, launch the [Hurricane Missile]!"
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!...
Without further ado, Aiven directly bestowed a wave of missile bombardnt towards the aggressive Hawkins.
The "Lawless," which traced a parabola from the high altitude as it was about to descend from the sky, again felt that fatal sense of threat and could only ascend again with a hidden resentnt.
However, the 64 [Hurricane Missiles] guided by the mind network were like swimming fish, relentlessly pursuing him like harbingers of doom.
Woo woo woo...
The [Hurricane Missile], with a speed equivalent to 1224 kiloters per hour, was faster than Aiven's Thunderbird form's speed of 900 kiloters per hour, making pursuing Hawkins, who flew relying on his profession's characteristics, a non-issue.
Nonetheless, this epoch-making weapon still couldn't entirely negate the formidable effect of [Free Will], frequently passing by him as if interfered mysteriously when approaching within a five-ter range of his body.
If they were detonated remotely from a farther distance, it wouldn't hurt him at all.
Until after more than ten minutes, all [Hurricane Missiles] were expended without causing real damage to Hawkins.
Aiven silently stood up.
"Sure enough, I'll need to personally take action, Hesi, get ready to assist according to the plan."
"Got it, Aiven, be careful."
A [King's Rook Castle] leap to the high altitude, facing Hawkins who had returned.
Violent winds whistled at high altitudes.
One was clad in a Phaletis Major General's uniform, the other in an Ilya Marshal's attire.
The previously raging "Lawless" also reined in his negative emotions at this mont, frowning slightly:
"A small Tier 3 mouse, I seem to... have seen you before. But, it doesn't matter."
Crack——
His right hand made a gripping gesture, and the gemstone rings on his fingers imdiately fused and transford into a luxurious brass knuckle protecting his fist. anwhile, a conical fist peak popped out from the alchemy arm on his left hand, assuming the beginning stance of [Eight-Ard Fist].
Facing a Tier 4, Aiven, who had long since surpassed himself, kept a calm expression.
Roar——
With a roar, amidst the fierce wind, he fearlessly transford into a towering three-ter Storm Dragon People form, a phantom platinum key faintly visible on his forehead.
With the life essence far surpassing humans of a pure-blooded Giant Dragon, he activated a boundless life magnetic field, soaring beyond the limits of a Tier 4 Knight.
Currently, as a Great Wizard, Aiven's basic attributes were constitution 8.9, strength 8.9, agility 8.9, spirit 6.5.
After launching the [Bloodline Plugin] to obtain the Dragon Vein essence enhancent, his constitution beca 12, strength 12, agility 12, spirit 6.5.
For a "Lawless" profession accentuating soul and characteristics, Hawkins, having reached Tier 4 three years prior, didn't, in reality, possess a substantial attribute advantage over Aiven.
The most troubleso thing, however, was the slippery [Free Will].
Actually, it makes sense when you think about it. The Extraordinary Profession created by the "Black Sea Goddess" Hipponeo to escape from the black sea waves wasn't focused on direct combat power.
Whoosh——
Unhesitatingly, Hawkins shot towards Aiven, wrapped in surging scarlet [Frenzy].
Simultaneously, he fired a dim yellow ripple at him.
[Wildness Liberation!]
[Exile of Reason!]
Seeing Hawkins' arm, a product of the Evil Alchemist's craft, Aiven smiled faintly.
Whoosh——
With a wave of his hand, he tossed out an [Electromagnetic Pulse Bomb].
boom!
