Chapter 571 The Destruction of the Sixth Fleet
The effective range of the giant crossbow is smaller than the attack range of the magician, and the secondary attack is far less than the speed of the magician's chanting. Of course, Mark and Humphreys did not risk entering the enemy's attack range. They only ordered each ship to fire a crossbow arrow at intervals for ultra-long-range "target shooting exercises". However, just this is the case, each batch of twenty-six arrows is enough to leave behind the enemy ships behind.
Although the crossbow arrow without sight and stamina cannot cause any substantial damage, the shock of several giant crossbows passing the ship from time to time is still extremely thrilling, and occasionally one or two will take away the lives of several soldiers. Once again, it was confirmed to the magicians around them that there was no magic fluctuation in the other side's fleet. It was impossible to find the magic crystal cannon on their ship. The commander, who was not sure what the opponent was thinking, was a little crazy and simply ordered the magician to launch an attack, hinting that the opponent could get closer, so that the giant crossbow could have a better effect.
But after an obvious magical attack, until his fleet retreated to the shore, the opponent did not look like he was chasing. After waiting nervously, the commander, who had no choice but to give up and give up the order to withdraw and reorganize the formation after waiting.
The enemy's actions were expected, but seeing that they were centered on the flagship, regardless of the re-formation of the soldiers who fell into the water, the boats they sent had not yet docked, Humphreys and Mark were both anxious.
"What should I do? They are going to escape back... It's all my fault. If I went to the mercenary union to hire a few high-level magicians, it wouldn't be like this today." Humphreys blamed himself in annoyance.
"You are not wrong. The Grand Duke gave enough funds, but to complete the task he entrusted, there must be a lot of reserves. If you want to blame, you can only blame the sudden thing this time." Observing the enemy's movements, Mark wanted to order the fleet to surround him, but he knew that such a price was not something he could afford, and that was why he made the decision to siege. Unfortunately, the enemy's reaction was too fast, so he could only do nothing and wait and see what happened, and prayed in his heart that Craig could arrive in time.
"If the Flying Whale, the lady is driving here, you don't have to worry about the other party's magic crystal cannon. Wait. Don't we have magic signals, why not use that?" Humphreys felt much better, but he was also anxious to seek medical treatment.
At this upset moment, Mark was speechless about this question, but he couldn't think of a good idea anyway, so he explained: "If you inform Lord Craig explicitly, it will show our relationship with the dead. If one person escapes..."
"I'm confused..." Before Mark finished speaking, Humphreys reacted, but immediately worried about the next question: "This time attack on the other party will also affect our relationship with the island alliance. This ~ the mission given to me by the big bus failed!" Although he was also a well-known figure in Shang, and the Flying Whale was also the target of most pirates who were afraid of it, accepting national-level tasks and participating in the naval battle of large fleets was the first time, and he inevitably thought about it.
"We are Bryon's ship, but the enemy does not have a telescope. You can't see anything clearly at this distance unless you feel the reaction of the Eye of Element." Mark answered again tirelessly, after all, his mission gave him all the support for his actions; and after this time, not only did Humphreys "calm" and felt the traces of whether there were any Eye of Element, but he also saw a silver color of expectation in the telescope.

The plan failed, and the fan that the other party besieged him on the shore was not something that a main battleship could deal with. However, they had never taken further action, and for themselves at this moment, it was not a chance to break through. Moreover, they would not have to be charged with missing the opportunity to fight when they went back like this.
He smiled self-deprecatingly, looking at the enemy fleet that was still unmoved, the commander of the Island Alliance issued an assault order to the fleet that had completed the breakout formation. It was not that he was as capable as Mark imagined, but his survival instinct made him unexpectedly make the best choice.
But all of this became meaningless with a silver light falling from the sky.
"What's going on? Where did the attack come from?" Looking at the big hole in the front deck, the commander turned to Kasu Island in the north in fear, but saw nothing. Then when he turned around, he saw in horror that the blood of Ruzhu gushed out from the entrance of the cave, and countless undead were followed.
———
The undead without intelligence would not send any information back. When he felt the magic fluctuations, he rushed to the port, Craig saw a fleet of island alliances that were about to leave. At first he didn't want to take the lives of these poor soldiers, but when he found that there was a large fleet with the Bryon flag on the periphery, he immediately understood that he could not let this enemy fleet go.
With the newly acquired magnetic force and his own strength, Craig originally wanted to sink the ship in the middle like a shell to disrupt the enemy fleet, but he did not expect that the wooden deck was unexpectedly strong and only crashed into one layer. Looking at the soldiers gathered around him, he did not want to delay time, so he could only activate the magnetic force, and then use the metal on their bodies to annihilate them at one time, and then refine all the corpses into undead.
Although it was a pity, there were still twelve warships to deal with. They jumped onto the deck and glanced at the panicked soldiers. Craig no longer jumped to the warships in front of the formation. At the same time, he found that the enemy was not difficult to deal with, so he decided to leave the ships for future transportation.
———
Seeing that the enemy's flagship was first confused under Craig's attack, Mark and Humphreys immediately gave the fleet a happy attack order to "Don't let an enemy go" to the fleet. However, when they found that a large number of undead appeared on the enemy ships he passed by, they had no choice but to temporarily change the order to "slowly narrow the encirclement". Because there were too many people who were resistant to the undead, they did not dare to bet on the loyalty of the new recruiters.
However, at this moment, the slowdown of the Bryon fleet made the commander of the Sixth Fleet of the Island Alliance find that he has no chance to surrender. After looking around, he was desperate and had no choice but to take the lead in abandoning the ship and boarding the boat and fleeing to the seemingly only island of Kasu, which seems to be the only one who can survive.
