Chapter 136 Encounter at Sea

The soldiers acted quickly and blew the horn to start the war. The strong sailors worked together to slowly push the heavy crossbows to the best position between the bow and the side of the ship. They carefully adjusted the angles, and their meticulous appearance was only to ensure that the shooting could achieve the greatest accuracy. Their arm muscles were tense, and beads of sweat rolled down their cheeks, but no one had time to wipe them off.

The soldiers in charge of ammunition neatly placed the sharp crossbows next to the crossbows in an orderly manner, so that they could be used at any time in the subsequent battles.

Other soldiers hurriedly put on sturdy leather armor, carefully checked the swords in their hands, and tightened the straps again and again, tied the shields firmly to their arms, and made full preparations for close combat.

The Mill fleet obviously also discovered the oncoming Gavin side, and also sounded sharp and urgent horns, and the battle flags fluttered in the wind, as if venting the desire to fight. The warships of both sides accelerated their speed, like two arrows from a bow, rushing towards the end of the collision without hesitation.

Gavin held the railing tightly, his eyes were like torches, staring at the approaching enemy ships, and his focused eyes seemed to take in every detail of the enemy ships.

At this moment, Hassan, who received the news, hurried over. After Gavin handed over the command to Hassan, he hurried towards Chiying.

As the two sides got closer and closer, they finally confirmed through the flag that the other side was the fleet of Myr. The sea breeze was whistling, becoming more and more fierce, and it seemed to cheer for the fierce battle that was about to break out.

Just as the Myr warship was about to enter the range of the bed crossbow, Chiying took Gavin and flew into the sky. Then, Gavin's bed crossbow was the first to fire, and the sharp arrows shot at the enemy ships like locusts. The dense rain of arrows carried a deadly threat.

The Myr side obviously knew the range of the bed crossbow and chose to endure it silently. Instead of responding with dense rain of arrows, they aimed the dragon hunting crossbow at the dragon hovering in the air to guard against the attack of dragon flame.

After silently enduring a round of arrow rain, the Myr fleet quickly adjusted its formation. Their ships were close together, forming a solid line of defense.

Gavin looked down at all this from the air. Obviously, the commander of the Myr fleet knew that with only more than 50 warships, they could not defeat nearly 100 warships and a dragon in an encounter, and planned to forcibly penetrate Gavin's fleet formation to escape.

Gavin quickly calculated countermeasures in his mind. He could not let the other party escape with such a good opportunity. The blazing shadow roared three times in the air, and Hassan immediately understood the new instructions.

Hassan decisively commanded the warships in the middle of the fleet to disperse and outflank the enemy from different directions, avoiding the enemy's collision route. The warships on both sides began to slow down and move closer to the center, thickening the depth of the formation while forming a death channel. Once the Mill fleet entered this pocket formation, it would be attacked by the crossbows on both sides.

At this time, the enemy fleet also began to counterattack, and their crossbows shot at Gavin's fleet like violent raindrops. Some soldiers were caught off guard and were unfortunately hit by arrows. They were fiercely brought into the sea by the powerful impact of the crossbows and were instantly swallowed by the surging waves. Not only that, a larger number of crossbows whistled like a dense swarm of bees and hit the ship fiercely. The solid shipboard was ruthlessly pierced by this fierce attack, and wood chips flew everywhere like fireworks.

Finally, the Mill fleet, which had no time to turn, crashed into the formation of Gavin's fleet like a beast out of control. In an instant, the crossbows on both sides opened fire on them crazily, and the front few Myr warships were instantly targeted.

Under this stormy attack, in less than a moment, they were swaying on the sea and began to tilt and slow down. Before the warships sank to the bottom of the sea, the warships coming from behind could not avoid it and hit the wreckage of the warships in front. The huge collision sound was deafening, and the subsequent warships forced through their own wreckage and rushed forward at an accelerated speed.

But this short deceleration still caused the formation of the Myr fleet to be in chaos, and the chaotic situation was accompanied by collisions of ships from time to time.

The warships on both sides of the formation were in frequent situations. Many of them were shot off by dense crossbows, and the warships that lost their balance were swaying on the sea. Even several warships on both sides were already close together, and fierce boarding battles took place. Countless soldiers roared and jumped onto the Myr warships, and a bloody and cruel hand-to-hand fight broke out in an instant.

The soldiers' faces were full of ferocity, and they swung their swords. Every time they slashed, they carried endless killing intent. Blood splattered everywhere, dyeing the deck red, and then flowed down and merged with the sea water.

Soldiers from both sides fought desperately in a small space, and roars and shouts of killing intertwined, like the roar of hell. Soldiers were constantly pierced by sharp swords and fell down in pain; this hand-to-hand combat was extremely cruel, and lives were lost every moment. Then, as more and more soldiers from Gavin's side joined the battle, the soldiers from the Mill side finally chose to surrender, and the warship was captured by Gavin's side.

After suffering nearly half of the heavy losses, the Mill fleet finally fought desperately to break through the formation of the Gavin fleet. At the moment when the first Mill warship struggled to break through the formation, a black shadow in the gloomy sky rushed down like a swift lightning.

The sea was turbulent, the wind was howling, and the salty sea water was muddied by the fierce battle. Chiying spread his huge wings with all his might and rushed straight towards the warship that had just successfully broken through, spewing blazing dragon flames from his mouth.

The dragon flames instantly wrapped around the bow of the warship, and the wooden structure quickly burned under the high temperature. The soldiers on the ship immediately shouted in fear.

The attack of Chiying was extremely swift and deadly. The dragon flames plowed through the deck of the warship fiercely, tearing it into shocking deep cuts.

Under the fierce and fierce attack of Chiying, the warship became more and more fierce, and billowing smoke rose to the sky. Some soldiers were instantly devoured by the flames, while others jumped into the sea in panic.

The breakthrough advantage that the Mill fleet had just achieved with great difficulty was instantly strongly curbed by the sudden and fierce attack of Chiying.

Hassan saw Chiying's attack and immediately ordered the attack horn to be blown. The passionate horn sound penetrated the noise of the wind and waves and echoed on the sea.

The warships of Gavin's fleet responded quickly, like a group of brave hunters, and began to gather quickly, tightly surrounding the Mill fleet. The surging waves hit the warship violently, splashing white waves.
