The Death Aura emanating from Weed’s Necromancer skill was flowing to the surroundings of his Ghost Ship, causing the sunken ships to rise as Ghost Ships over time.
“They’re very annoying bastards.”
The Ghost Ship fleet had a lot of antique ships. Their sailing speed and artillery wasn’t much, but their battle formation was good.
Weed controlled the defense and fortified the formation, protecting the vulnerable supply ships from being attacked.
Even though the Drinpelt’s fleet had a formidable firepower, the Ghost Ships were ransacking all over the place under the protection of sea monsters.
“This has turned into a hand-to-hand melee combat, Admiral.”
Drinpelt’s fleet was centralized based on firepower. Everyone riding in their ship were selected based on the concept that the cannons were better than swords in a naval battle.
They have never fought in a close quarters hand-to-hand combat, since they usually defeat everyone in a firefight whether it was against ships or monsters.
Drinpelt’s flagship of fighting troops and Hermes guild volunteers rode around, sinking Ghost Ships with holy and fire magic.
Rather than general naval combat, the Ghost Ships were superior in hand-to-hand combat.
The holy magic protection given by the priests to the ships was completely ignored by the Undead who flew over and attacked in numbers, causing mass hysteria and panic.
Weed’s ship was clinging to the side of another battleship at an angle.
Grand goals do not need to be justified to leave a mark in history.
“This is a feast!”
Impoverished humanity!
In Weed’s eyes he could only see experience and items.
He fought alongside the Undead, brandishing his sword against the crew.
Weed cut into the fight late.
“It’s the Lich!”
As soon as they saw Weed, their will to fight plummeted and the sailors ran away. This was due to Fear being stimulated by the Lich’s Death Aura effect.
In fact, every time the battle was difficult for Weed, it excited him.
Necromancers may be weak against priests, but it was an excellent profession.
Weed smoothly grabbed the nape of the fleeing crew members neck.
“Mana Drain!”
He began by taking away Mana from the sailors and then summoned back the sunken Ghost Ships once again.
Bubbles start to foam at the sea, and a moment later a Ghost Ship would surge out from under the sea.
This is the unparalleled Fear the Lich gives off.
As the vitality of the enemies killed are converted to mana, more Undead and Ghost Ships were raised due to the Death Aura.
More health and mana is once again used to strengthen the Undead. From the deep sea a sunken Ghost Ship rises.
Lich’s focal point is to rule a legion of Undead as a King.
Drinpelt was watching all of this from a distance.
They were unable to fire because both the Ghost Ships and the allied warships were mixed in the middle close together and this made the magicians to be more wary of the surrounding chaos.
It was to the point where even the falling raindrops were making one nervous.
“It can’t be….”
“Pardon?”
“They didn’t deliberately enter into the hand-to-hand combat and idly waited while we were chasing them, right?”
“...”
If Drinpelt’s fleet was to fight at the base of the Unfreezing River, with their superior artillery, it was possible for them to obtain an overwhelming victory against the Ghost Ships, although it would take time to achieve.
However, by the time they were done, Weed would be able to run far away.
They were in a position where they needed to catch Weed in this fight by whatever method they had to use.
Drinpelt wondered if by any chance Weed had already predicted the melee battle with the battleships on the sea.
If so, then one needs to re-evaluate Weed again.
Not only on land but on sea as well, he knows how to fight to his full power and take advantage of the battlefield as much as possible
Orchestrating a battle of this caliber while commanding the undead displayed one’s true ability, which was outside of Drinpelt’s expectations.
Even though the front and the rear side were vulnerable, the deck side was very strong. Indeed, on deck was nine percent more cannons positioned compared to the sides.
The most important factor when fighting among ships is the positioning, but the Ghost Ships have a wide range of turning ability and mobility.
Weed plunged himself into the battle.
