Trash of the Count's Family (201-400)

Chapter 205 - The Ocean is ... (5)

It was not easy to cross through the rough winter ocean.
That was why the navigators who sailed through the Northern ocean were all experts. The Northern Alliance had only recruited the best of the best of these experts.

However, none of that mattered.

Baaaaaang!

The true ocean of death revealed itself to the navigators who had barely managed to wade through the whirlpools in order to get out of the red fog.

"Maintain your formation! Launch the cannons!"

The soldiers of the Indomitable Alliance finally got back to their senses and started to move. There was fear in their faces.

Tap, tap.
Their comrades' corpses got in their way as they tried to quickly move around, however, they did not have time to notice this issue.

"Uggggggggh-"

There was a soldier on the ground who was poisoned, but not yet dead. His body was stepped on by another soldier, however, the soldier just glanced toward this poisoned soldier before moving on.

He was thinking that he too would die if he took the time to stop to help.

The soldier just continued to move while stepping on corpses.
Some of them had been paying attention to where they were walking until just a moment ago. However, they could no longer do that.

"Move quickly if you don't want to be buried at sea!"

One of the knights shouted toward the soldiers.

"Start rowing if you want to be able to take your friends' corpses back home!"

They needed to survive in order to care for their friends' bodies.
Otherwise, they would all die out here and nobody would be able to find any of their bodies.

It had not been like this when they had first headed out with a fleet of three hundred ships. They thought that they could destroy anything and everything at that point.
However, the result was the opposite. It was their enemy who seemed ready to destroy anything and everything.

"Refill the gunpowder!"
"Where are the archers?!"

The deck was chaotic.
The knights got in formation while the mages started to fire off spells.

Bang. Bang!

Many of the arrows bounced off of the mages' magic shields and knights' shields. One mage from the Paerun Kingdom could not help but swear after seeing the rain of arrows.

"Damn it! When did they prepare such a thing?!"

They could see a fleet of red ships almost comparable to their own in number.

"How could the Roan Kingdom...!"

The Roan Kingdom's proclamation in response to their own was full of confidence, however, the majority of the western continent's kingdoms did not put much attention on the Roan Kingdom.
This was because there had been nothing special about them for decades.
So how could they suddenly have such strong forces?
How could they possess such powerful naval capabilities?

If a single Kingdom had such a immense naval presence, why didn't they dominate the sea?

This mage from the Paerun Kingdom created an even bigger shield with magic as he ordered his subordinates.

"Immediately activate fire or lightning atta-!"

He wanted to tell them to do that.
However, he had to urgently change his command.
He could see fire orbs in the distance.
