On the Forever Night River, six large ships carrying players rode the wind and waves, sailing smoothly downstream.
More than twenty small merchant ships carrying water ghosts were relentlessly pursuing them from behind.
As for the 13 small merchant ships that the players had seized, they had to be abandoned due to a lack of sufficient crewmembers.
At the stern of the six large ships, the Mages among the players lined up in a row, casting [Ice Arrow] at the water surface behind the boats.
The [Ice Arrow] plunged diagonally into the water, releasing cold air that instantly formed chunks of ice, both large and small, on the surface of the water.
Some Mages organized themselves to cast [Ice Arrow] at the same patch of water, combining it with some [Ice Cone Skill], successfully generating a large area of floating ice.
This floating ice posed a huge challenge for the small merchant ships of the water ghosts trailing behind.
These small merchant ships were light, and they could easily capsize if they hit a piece of floating ice while speeding along.
This forced the fleet of water ghost ships to reduce their speed.
With the obstruction of the floating ice, the distance between the two fleets gradually increased.
Standing on the top deck of the ship, the Snow Leopard revealed a satisfied smile as the water ghost fleet gradually disappeared from his sight.
At the same time, on the second layer of the battle ship, Su Yu was reporting the recent battle situation to the princess and General Shuhe.
“Your Highness, General Shuhe, we have repelled this batch of water ghosts, and the fleet of water ghosts behind us is blocked by the floating ice created by our Mages. They won’t have the chance to catch up with us.”
“Well done, Nemesis!” Princess Alyssa praised.
General Shuhe also showed an admiring look.
“However,” Su Yu’s tone changed, “according to my speculation, their kamikaze attacks are to buy time…”
Next, Su Yu detailed his recent speculation in complete form.
After hearing Su Yu’s speculation, General Shuhe, stroking his chin, nodded: “Your conjecture makes sense. I also think that Landilus is not ready, otherwise he wouldn’t send his subordinates to die.”
“So General, what should we do?” The princess looked somewhat anxious.
“Don’t worry, Your Highness.” General Shuhe saluted the princess, “I will order the fleet to move forward at full speed and break through before Landilus completes his interception, taking you safely out of here!”
“Thanks a lot.” The princess sighed with relief, “When we return to Goldfinch City, I will definitely report to my father and reward you and Nemesis handsomely!”
“Many thanks, Your Highness!” General Shuhe and Su Yu responded simultaneously.
At the same time, in Kaishi town that’s downstream of the Forever Night River.
Kaishi town lies on the princess’s voyage route.
In the eastern sky of Kaishi town, four figures flew over the Forever Night
The leader was a brawny golden-haired warrior, none other than Duke Landilus, the leader of the Kalet rebel army, a sixth-order Sanctuary powerhouse.
Behind him were two seventh-order legendary powerhouses and one sixth-order space system Mage.
“We’re here.” Duke Landilus smiled as he looked at the beautiful scenery of Kaishi town, “I didn’t expect Princess Alyssa to change her route at the last minute and choose a waterway. No problem, we can still intercept her successfully. Master Antondidas, it’s all up to you this time!”
“Rest assured, leave it to me!”
Antondidas was a sixth-order space system Mage, appearing as a hale and hearty old man with a white beard.
He flew towards the direction of Forever Night River.
After reaching the sky above Forever Night River, Antondidas set up a space coordinate in the pre-set river channel.
Vrrm- –
The bright white space magic array unfolded on the surface of the water. The Six-pointed Star of the magic array radiated brilliant light, a large flash of white light symbolizing teleportation passed by, and four large warships were teleported here from the river channel tens of kilometers away.
Looking at the four large warships and soldiers that appeared on the river, Landilus nodded with satisfaction.
As expected of Master Antondidas! There aren’t many in the world who can perform mass teleportation across tens of kilometers!
Landilus turned to one of the seventh-order powerhouses behind him, “Master
Tula Yang, how is Madeline’s injury?”
This seventh-order powerhouse was named Tula Yang, a middle-aged male Holy Knight of the seventh order.
“Madeline” was the Holy Knight who fought with the Shadow Necromancer Xi Fan in the Battle of the Giant Gorge. Tula Yang and Madeline were close friends, and he had been trying to heal the dying Madeline.
Tula Yang shook his head somberly, “Madeline’s injury is very serious. Although she won’t die under my treatment, it’s likely that her injury won’t improve within five years. After five years, even if she recovers her strength, she probably won’t be able to return to her peak.”
“Is that so?” Landilus sighed, “Then handling the Shadow Necromancer Xi Fan this time would have to be left to you!”
“Leave it to me!” Tula Yang stated solemnly, “The Shadow and the Holy Light are irreconcilable, eradicating the Shadow is a responsibility we of the Holy Light lineage could never shirk from!”
At this point, Tula Yang glanced at the other seventh-order powerhouse floating beside them, with clear repulsion in his eyes.
This seventh-order powerhouse was a little girl about twelve or thirteen years old in black clothes and a black hat. However, this little girl was enveloped in an intense aura of the dead.
“Damn Necromancer”, Tula Yang thought. He didn’t feel at ease fighting side by side with a Necromancer.
“Hey, big guy, why are you looking at me?” The little girl noticed Tula Yang’s gaze, lightly waved the magic wand in her hand, and laughed,
“I was invited by Duke to deal with Morning Star. If you keep looking at me like that, I’m going to get angry!”
Landilus also stepped in to mediate the situation immediately, “Master Tula Yang, this is Master Walnut. Master Walnut is a very powerful expert. With her here, we can handle the Star Realm’s Cat Morning Star.”
“Hehe!” The girl named “Walnut” chuckled, and playfully winked at Tula Yang.
Tula Yang furrowed his brow slightly, but didn’t say anything more.
At this point, the space system Mage Antondidas flew back from the direction of the river channel.
He heard the conversation between Tula Yang and Walnut, but he didn’t mind.
He laughed at Landilus, “Duke, I heard about Madeline’s failure in the Giant
Wood Canyon last time. I believe the main reason for that failure was that Princess Alyssa leveraged the power of the ‘otherworld adventurers’.”
“Otherworld adventurers?”
“Exactly.” Antondidas said slowly, “Otherworld adventurers are perpetuated by their ability to resurrect after death. They may seem weak now, but once these adventurers gain enough levels, they will become a fearsome force!”
“So how should we deal with this variable of ‘otherworld adventurers’?” Landilus didn’t deny it, but asked humbly.
“It’s simple, we can use the otherworld adventurers to deal with the otherworld adventurers!” Antondidas stroked his white beard, revealing a confident smile..
