433 Survival At All Costs
"We fight!!"
"Yahhhhh"

.
While the enemy was in their overly excited state, the Navy ship quickly sailed extremely close to the edge of the lead enemy ship.
Lieutenant Felix looked at the crowd below who were raising their swords up into the air, and immediately gave out his own command as well.
"Snipers, take them down!
All Units from 3 to 9..... get ready to move in as planned." He said while speaking into his Walkie Talkie.
"Yes sir!" Said the leaders of each unit.
With that, the leaders put away their Walkie Talkies and began leading their squads as planned.
The snipers all brought their guns to the edge of the deck, while the units that were supposed to move in..... all waited for a few deck bridges to be fully stretched out.
These bridges laid flat directly under the deck itself and were engineered and controlled right from the control tower.... as well as the bridge buttons on the deck floor.
And when it was time for soldiers to move out, they would extend out of the deck..... and could be tilted downwards all the way to the bottom of the ship if need be.
Each Navy ship had 9 of them; 3 on each side, and 2 on the front and rear ends.
As of now, these deck bridges were only mainly used in Navy ships.
Even though they were installed in Baymard's cruise and travel ships..... they were only there in cases of emergencies and should only be used as such.
Since they were cruise ships and not battleships, the passengers there had all the time in the world, hence they could pass through the docks and ship stations, which would already have bridges and even elevator systems as well, that would take them right to the top.
So there was no need for anyone to touch the well-hidden deck bridged secretly hiding underneath the deck.
But in war, time was of the essence, hence they had to use these deck bridges.
As for how wide these bridges were, 2 car jeeps could stand side by side each other on a single deck bridge.
'Drmmmmmm!'
As the bridges extended downwards, the snipers quickly locked in on their targets below, as they had to clear the way for the units.
Their hands rested on the triggers, as they patiently waited for the firing command of their unit leader.
'Steady.... steady..... Fire!'
'Peeuw! Peeuw! Peeuw! Peeuw!'
.
Back on the enemy ships, everyone was still raiding their swords excitedly, while also watching the magical bridge descend.
Even though they were shocked silly, they all knew that now was not the time to be amazed.
It was time for war!
"Captain! I think they plan to come down and meet us here."
"Yes.... it appears so, which makes it even better for us." The Captain said while smiling coldly.
Hehehe.... this was going to be easier than he thought.
Since they were these strange men were the ones descending, then all they had to do... was surround that Ladder thingy, and kill anyone who dares to set foot on their ships.
At first, he had suspected that maybe these people would use archers since they had the obvious height advantage.
But who would've thought that they wouldn't even have one archer on board?
Tsk!.... F***in Amateurs.
The Captain sneered and turned around the face his men.
"Boys!.... kill anyone who descends on that thing!
Leave no survivors!"
"Yahhhhh!"
Looking at his excited men, the Captain smiled and decided to watch everything from the sidelines.
And just when he took one step left, the person who was standing directly behind him seemed to miraculously drop to the floor without any warning.
There wasn't even a scream from the man.
Immediately, the Captain looked crouched down to find out what was going on with the man.
But what he saw immediately shocked him silly.
There was a hole the size of a coin on the man's forehead.... and fresh blood was current gushing out of the spot like crazy.
Since there was no arrow in the spot, he just thought that maybe the dead man had accidentally used something to stab his forehead.
He couldn't help but curse underneath his breath, as he continued to look at the dead fool.
What the hell was the fool doing that made him stab himself in the head?... And at a time like this?
He was about to tell everyone to quickly throw the man off board into the water.
But when he looked up, half of those who were surrounding him had also dropped down to the floor as well.... and they all strangely had the same wounds too.
Eh?
Was this sorcery?
Immediately, he knew that he was in danger.... so he quickly ran towards the wooden door ahead, while pushing his men aside with all his might.
The entire place became chaotic, as people ran left, right, front and center from panic.... as no one knew what was going on exactly.
Some people had been shot in the leg, while others in the arms and so on.
So they tried to drag their injured bodies across the ship to seek shelter away from these invisible weapons.
As for their Captain, after pushing, kicking and jumping over all those in his way....he finally made it through the door.
"Lock the doors now!" He commanded, to those who had previously made it in.
"But.... but.... but Captain there are still people trying to seek shelter out there...."
'Sling!' The Captain drew his sword and pointed it towards the person who spoke.
"Do it now!!!"
"..... Yes Captain....."
With that, the men took the massive wooden plank on the side and placed it over the door's bolts.
And as they did that, they heard several people banging the door from the other side.
'Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!'
"Captain! Captain! Captain! Captain!
Please open the door!!
Captain! Captain! Captain! Captain!"
'Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!'
The men on the other side who had previously seen their Captain make his way here..... continuously banged the door loudly in terror.
While those the Captain on the other side, just listened to their pleas... until there was the banging noise stopped.
"You there.... open the peephole and tell us what you see."
Immediately, one of the men looked through the rectangular hole on the door and was utterly taken aback.
His body began to tremble slightly, and for some reason, he also became speechless as well.
"Well... don't just stand there stupidly!
Tell us what do you see!" The Captain yelled.
But the man just stood there silently, and soon... they could hear trinkets of water running down the man's pants.
Did he just wet himself?
Everyone within the room instantly became anxious.
What was out there that would warrant a grown man to wet himself?
This.... this had left many of them shaken to the core.
Just what was going on out there?
