Chapter 2727 A hundred years of loneliness (twenty-four)
What a violent impact it was.
The warships of this era are well-made, with extremely strong and sharp "horns" on their bows. When they are running at full speed, they can easily smash the opponent's ship into two pieces - as long as the impact angle is and location.
But these ships, which made the Roman Navy proud, were insignificant in the face of the forces of nature. In front of the iceberg, they were not even considered to be ants, and they all cracked under the impact, and the small half of the hull was embedded in the huge ice block and twisted! The rest disintegrates itself with a crackle along the cracks in the hull!
Arthur was right. There is no icebreaker in this era, and naturally there is its reason. Material strength is everything. In this era, a ship made of wood and reinforced with steel nails, no matter how strong it looks, is actually a mortal thing that has to bow its head in front of the force of nature!
It's over. The four ships that were blocked by the ice wall and kept shattering were no longer able to get half an inch closer to the island. They are at least thirty yards from the shore and are constantly being pushed outwards by the glaciers (which are drifting away under the influence of ocean currents!), and the closer they get, the harder they get!
The fleet enthusiastically wanted to have a close contact with Arthur on the cliff, but they didn't know that the last thirty yards was farther than the sky, and it was a "love that can never be conveyed". White glaciers pull the gap farther and farther!
"Don't be careless." Arthur said, watching the turret reload, and enchanting the ballista with Freeze: "Come on, let them take their last breath!"
Verne nodded and saw that some of the boats that crashed into the glacier and kept cracking, who wanted to escape with a small boat, fired crossbow arrows in that direction. The crossbow bolts easily shattered the dinghy and its occupants, and froze their shattered bodies into one with the sea water. Several other crossbow arrows accelerated the sinking of several other ships. The people on board couldn't find a survival boat and had to fall into the sea, but they couldn't survive in the icy water for half a minute.
A black object emerges from the wrecked ship, which appears to be a black panther-shaped evil spirit from a distance. It was a Pope knight who couldn't hold back, knowing that he could not attack Arthur at this distance, but still made a vain and fruitless move? So in addition to the appearance of a knight giant, the Vatican's technology for creating spiritual bodies can also create other forms of evil spirits? Notable. The King of Knights thought. The black panther evil spirit began to fly at full speed on the ice, as if it wanted to attack from this exaggerated distance.
"Uh, Lord Aslan!?" Verne asked.
"It's all right, as planned. Calm down," Arthur said briefly. He was almost certain that the panther couldn't get away from its manipulator and hit the cliff thirty-five yards away. Even if it can, Arthur is confident that he can block the opponent's attack with the knight golems of the [Winged Angel].
It is better to say that he is looking forward to seeing the other side's actions. This is the best experiment to test the "maximum controllable distance" of evil spirits.
As a result, the evil spirit black panther could not get close at all, and stopped about ten yards in front of Arthur. No matter how hard it tried, it seemed to be dragged back by some huge force, and it just couldn't move forward half a step. Twenty yards. A conservative estimate of twenty-five yards. This is the maximum distance that the Pope's knights can manipulate evil spirits. In a battle beyond this distance, the mighty Pope Knights would not be able to exert their true power.
"Thank you for the actual combat data." The king of knights looked coldly at the enemy struggling in the sea of ice: "Now, you scumbags, obediently bury in the belly of the fish!"
Verne fired another wave of crossbow bolts, this time on the distant sailing ships that had broken their masts and could only float in despair with the current. Those guys also took out oars and tried to push, but it was too late to do so. The mighty crossbow arrows easily ripped ship after ship, and countless warriors and knights fell into the sea.
"What about those who try to swim ashore with their bare hands?" Verne asked, he had sufficient awareness of making up for the knife and wanted to kill his opponents. However, using a large crossbow to attack people on the water in the distance is undoubtedly the same as using a siege gun to hit flies, which is extremely difficult to hit.
"Ah, use this." The King of Knights enchanted the arrow of the crossbow with Electric Shock.
"Abyss Tome: The Dimension of All Realms" can be said to be an all-purpose enchanting textbook, which allows Arthur to easily master the knowledge of various element enchantments, of course, the [Electric Shock] enchantment.
This one could easily electrocute a large group of people if dropped in water. This is already very humane, people in the water will die instantly without any struggle, the cause of death: heart palsy. Verne is naturally not stupid, and he also knows that the guy swimming in the water is not wearing heavy armor, so that he will not sink into the deep sea. These people may be Pope knights who plan to abandon their armor and fight, or they may be ordinary sailors, some innocent people who have been implicated. But Verne doesn't care, he can't let go of any threat, and he doesn't plan to let go of any accomplice who spreads the plague.
The six crossbow arrows scattered and fell into the sea in a large area. A piece of thunder light spread on the sea surface. Those little black dots that were wriggling back and forth on the sea surface only struggled for a few times and stopped moving.
"I didn't tell you the range of the electric shock, how did you guess it?" The King of Knights was curious and asked the boy beside him.
"I always think it's roughly that range." Verne replied, "I've been seeing weird [arcs] lately. The more I identify someone as an [enemy], the clearer the [arcs] are. Visible. If I let the attack go along that [arc], someone will die, my enemy will die. But if I deliberately deviate the trajectory of the shot from the [arc] by just a little bit, the opponent will definitely die Not to die, but to be saved in the end, even if he is badly wounded."
"The effect of [DeadEye]." Arthur hummed. It really is a completely different pupil technique from the [Eagle Eye Technique].
Beyoretta once said that [Death Eye] is a pupil technique that involves great magic and can correct the law of causality. Arthur can now somewhat understand the mystery.
Verne can see the enemy's [Omen of Death]. If the arrow attack is launched along the arc of this [Death Omen], the enemy's life can be definitely taken down. No one can fully understand the causal relationship, just as the fluttering of a butterfly group can cause a big storm, but it does exist.
Yes, that is the ability to predict the future.
Verne's eyes could see into the future [effect], so he also knew how to touch the corresponding [cause].
The sweep continues. To this point, it can be regarded as a one-sided massacre. Whether it is Verne's long-range crossbow arrow attack or Bedivere's collision in the sea, those warships will always be hit and some warships can always be scuttled. Those who lose their ships and fall into the vast sea are no different from death.
It's really over. The rest of the enemy is already at the end of the shot, crying out for help, going mad, panicking, and waiting to die.
This battle, optimistically estimated, killed about forty papal knights and hundreds of Holy See crusaders. But it is also possible that some ships do not have Pope knights at all, and are just empty shells composed of ordinary soldiers.
But there is no doubt that this battle severely damaged the army of the Roman Church, and Arthur's side had almost no losses. The spent "crossbow arrows" also come with recycling magic, which will automatically return to the [Legion]'s reserves after a period of time, which means that the only "loss" is that the crossbow arrows are worn out.
The Holy See may not even know in the end how and by whom the fleet disappeared.
"Huh------" Verne yawned as the battle drew to a close. Two lines of hot liquid slid from his cheeks.
"Eh? Why do I..." He suddenly collapsed: "Eh...Ehhh? Tears...can't stop?"
"Cry if you want to. Crying at this time is a normal person's reaction, proving that you are not a ruthless devil." Arthur took the thick and warm animal skin blanket and put it on the boy: "You've just slaughtered a large number of people. Whether they were guilty or not, this level of slaughter will surely leave an indelible memory in your life. But if you don't kill them, we will all die. That's all."
Verne didn't cry, just quietly let himself cry: "I always feel...weird. I'm not a good boy anymore. After I die...I will definitely not be able to get on. Heaven."
"A certain big man once told me that there is no heaven or **** in this world. When a person dies, he dies." The king of knights said indifferently: "When that time comes, just close your eyes and rest in peace. But as long as we have one day Before you close your eyes, you have to carry it all, carry hope and despair, sin and forgiveness, and struggle to live on."
"Probably... so." Exhausted, Verne lay on the ground and began to sleep soundly. At the same time as he lost consciousness, [Epic Legion---Spear Array] was also recovered into the Soldier Rune Ring, creating a comfortable space for the surroundings. It takes a huge amount of mental power to precisely control every action of the [Legion] completely with one's own will. It is a miracle that such a simple boy can fight to such a level ~IndoMTL.com~.
"Speaking a lot of big words, only to defeat one enemy fleet, and there is no follow-up?" Beyuleta, who came to check the situation, dishonestly scolded: "If there are more fleets approaching in the future. , can't we just rely on that stupid wolf to deal with it?"
"Then pray that there will be no more reinforcements from the enemy." Arthur sat beside Verne with a tactile smile on his face: "If more enemies are approaching, we will keep a low profile. , let them pass. Anyway, enough killings tonight."
"That's the only way." Belleta also sat down silently, staring with the King of Knights as it gradually returned to the void and dark sea.
The Holy See's army is huge, and what you see is just the tip of the iceberg. How many times can this tricky battle be fought without making a mistake? Not every battle can be made by chance, and there will always be times when you have to face it head-on.
Want more troops. More powerful, absolute, and able to balance the gap with the Holy See in numbers, the army. Where can such an army be found?
Arthur stared at the stars, lost in thought.
