Chapter 605: 605

Chapter 605: Battle on the Sea 3

Luke had been leading the 1st squad knights for the expedition on the Southern Continent .

They had 200 knights and 100 Gigants and another 50 iron mage and war mages to assist them .

Normal soldiers wouldn’t be of great help, so he brought a minimal number of troops to support the knights and be on guard during the missions .

However, in addition to the 100 Gigants led by Luke on Auster, 20 more ships for self-defense were carried .

Those Gigants were made by reverse-engineering the Crabs captured from the Grenada Kingdom in the past .

The Gigants were named Triton . They were smaller compared to the average Gigant, and its outer armor was made of wood, so it looked different from a Crab .

However, it was different as it had been equipped with a warrior class’ core engine of 1000 fight, and it could float on water because it had an air tube inside .

In any case, the marine Gigants had been lifted onto the deck via the fright lift .

Kwang! Kwang! Bang!

The ships of the Song Empire didn’t give up the battle even after getting smashed by Auster and getting hit by the shells .

As soon as they retreated, they could escape . However, the transport ship carrying the landing troops would be captured or sunk by the enemy .

In that case, even if they survived, the operation would be recorded as a huge failure, and the commander’s name would be removed along with the lives of the commander’s family members .

At least considering the remaining family members in the home country, they all thought that fighting and dying in battle would be the best option .

“Do not step back! Stand tall!”

“Approach the ships that are down and attack!”

The struggle of the Song Empire was heard .

Despite the damages they sustained from the shelling, they eventually succeeded in sticking together to fight .

When one of them was down, a dozen ships, including the Imperial Dragon, stuck to Auster .

The Song Empire sailor hung ropes and began to climb on board .

“Shoot them!”

“Stop the enemies from getting onto the deck!”

Symphonia sailors shot their arrows, trying to stop the men coming on board .

Hundreds of soldiers suddenly appeared from the Song Imperial Navy’s side .

They were the strong Moorim martial clan men belonging to the army .

Some of them were on the transport ships to assist in any possible attacks .

Wheeing! Wheeing!

They struck down the pouring arrows with their swords, and they quickly flew to the deck of Auster .

“Wh-what? These men are?”

“Stay back! They are strong men!”

Most of the Symphonia sailors didn’t know what Hwang Bo-sung was talking about .

However, knowing that they were not strong enough, they stepped behind the knights .

The knights, who were already equipped with armor, came ahead with their swords and shields .

The powerful people, who climbed on the deck, were astonished .

They weren’t surprised to see the knights but were shocked to see the large doll that was behind their backs .

“What is that?”

“Don’t tell me… A puppet?”

“No, they must be the steel dolls used by the northern men!”

The Moorim warriors were compelled to stay still .

It was because they couldn’t imagine seeing a Puppet or any Gigant in the middle of the sea .

While they were in shock, Luke ordered the knights .

“Shoot! Don’t let them go back!”

Triton rushed ahead and swung its giant sword at the Moorim warriors once the orders fell .

Following Hwang Bo-sung, the Symphonia Knights began to attack as well .

“Kuak!”

“Kuk!”

“D-don’t fall back!”

The battle proceeded one-sidedly in favor of the Symphonia Knights .

The Moorim people sent by Mak Dong-chung tried numerous things only to be wiped out by the enemy .

Among them, there were a number of Absolute power-holders of Moorim .

However, in front of the Gigant’s combat power, they were powerless, and the moment their weakness was seen by Luke, Hwang Bo-sung, Reynard, and Shirley immediately took action .

Besides, the skills of the other knights were considerably high too .

When it came to being a strong player on the field, they were one step behind, being first-class knights .

They had enough experience in war . Their not just excellent with swords but also in close combat .

“Ugh, this is bad for us . Step back!”

“Retreat!”

At the words of the Moorim people who realized that they couldn’t do much, they tried to run back while a few of them were captured .

When the Moorim warriors retreated, the morale of the Song Empire sailors plummeted .

Despite the encouragement, their situation didn’t improve .

Rather, Tritons threw in large planks or jumped onto the deck of the Song Empire and swung their huge swords . The confusion and hopelessness turned intense .

“Huhuhu!”

Mak Dong-chung burst into laughter as he saw his fleet crumbling .

The entire operation felt bad for some reason, but he never thought that he would meet such a monster in the sea .

That large ship of the enemy exceeded what they heard about from the Yemaek Navy . And the Puppet, well, he never imagined the steel doll of the northerners, which were only used on land battles, would be fighting on the ship’s board .

The steel doll named Gigant was a weapon that ordinary soldiers or Moorim warriors could ever deal with .

If he had known there was a Gigant on the ship, there was no way General Mak would engage in a battle on board .

“The entire fleet, retreat!”

He couldn’t help but order a retreat .

However, their escape wouldn’t happen that easily .

The Yemaek fleet was already blocking their retreat, and even the Imperial Dragon ship and two Tritons crossed over and created hell on the deck .

Thud Thud Thud!

“Surrender! If you surrender, I will let you live!”

The riders in the Tritons, who were on deck, screamed while moving their giant sword .

Mak Dong-chung didn’t understand what the Northern Continent rider was saying, but he didn’t have to know the language to understand what the other party was saying .

In any case, there were two options in the situation—surrender or fight .

However, Mak Dong-chung was an honorable warrior .

“You think I will beg for my life in front of the enemy? Me, the General of the Great Song Empire?!”

Mak Dong-chung struck Triton with a pole .

The rider flinched at the momentum and screamed at the man that came at him . Without his knowledge, the rider swung his sword at Mak Dong-chung .

Slash!

Mak Dong-chung, whose martial arts weren’t that outstanding, quickly fell for the giant sword .

It was a terrible death . A death that everyone on board would never forget .

“Th-that stupid…!”

Hwang Bo-jangcheon, who was recused by an allied ship after leaving the Imperial Dragon ship, swore while looking at the battle from a distance .

He did run away, but he thought that he could lead the battle to an advantage if he succeeded in leading one ship .

The battleships of the Song Empire had powerful Moorim warriors on board, so he thought that with enough men, he had the chance .

And as he thought, he managed to relay orders to the Song Empire’s ships which were in close range to the enemy’s fleet .

“Kuahhhh! Right! Go up on their ships and kill everyone! Wipe them all out!”

As if he had been conducting the operation from the beginning, Hwang Bo-jangcheon screamed .

However, the battle, which he thought he would have a chance, ended when the Puppet and knights of the enemy entered onto their ships .

The Moorim warriors, who struggled to fight with the enemy, either tried to escape or surrendered .

“Damn, turn the ship! Retreat at full speed!”

Hwang Bo-jangcheon, who became nervous, gave orders for the entire fleet .

There were still 20,000 warriors, 5,000 zen skill users, and Kangshi hidden under the deck .

However, no matter how strong they were, what could they do?

If their opponents shot their guns from a distance, the ship would capsize and the entire Kangshi troops would be annihilated .

Dozens of transport ships turned around and began to flee at full speed .

But that didn’t happen .

It was because Luke, who had been chasing them with Fly magic, cut off the mast of the transport ship with Wind Cutter magic .

Eventually, several ships ended up sinking, it was then that the Imperial Dragon ship lifted their white flag .
