"These savages dares to manipulate the innocent people!" "These savages pretend to be gods!" "These savages dares to defy the heavens!" "We shall eliminate all that is evil and bring the salvation to the innocent!" <> Updates are released by novelꜰire.net "Sir. We have spotted the enemy fleet." – said the empire soldier. "How many?" – asked the paladin. "Can't say yet, but there appears the be a quiet number of them." – said the soldiers. "It appears that we will be having an sea warfare just as predicted." (So, they were deceived by vampires…. Eh?) (I feel sorry for them, but we cannot be stopped by them. We need to break through and get to the land.) "Prepare for the battle, we will- " "What is that sound?" – asked the paladin that heard something before then noticing something glowing from above. An blasts of magic suddenly rained down, bombarding the empire ships left and right. "WHAT IS GOING ON?! STATUS!" – shouted the paladin who deployed his barrier skill. "BOMBARDMENT! WE ARE BEING BOMBARDED BY THE ENEMY!" "WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN?! WE ARE IN THEIR ATTACK ZONE?!" "DIRECT HIT!" – said the vampire soldier. "The enemy were bombarded!" "Good! Prepare next volley!" – said the vampire knight. "Yes sir!" – said the vampire that operated a giant cannon. [Hunt Ballista Cannon] [Current location: Sea] "Capitan." – said Hunter as she approached the ship captain. "Hm? What is it?" – asked the captain. "How is the situation?" – asked Hunter. "Hm…. Not great if I'm being honest." – replied the captain. "We had already repaired the ships and restored what any supplies we were missing…. But if I'm being honest, I'm not looking too optimistic at the next upcoming attack." "At first enemies could not go anywhere near us or even counter attack, but now?" "They are adapting and changing their strategies." "They are now able to get close enough to attack us….. And there was also that last attack of their… Fucking lunatics. They just decided to ram into one of our ships, trying to take us down with them." "We lost one of our ships, but thankfully not the one with the cannons and enemies took some heavy hits during the exchange…. But so, we did." "Enemy obviously suffered more damage than us, but by the looks of things it is just matter of time before they fully break through." "I'm honestly more worried about them boarding the ships." – said Maparapara. "I've killed the paladins that managed to get in, but if stronger ones get in with stronger healing and defensive skills, then it could be a problem." "True…They would bother us in a way that would stop us from firing the cannons, if so- " "ENEMEIES SPOTTED!" – shouted the man on the crow nest. "I only see 3 ships! But they are the huge!" – said the man on the crow nest. "WAIT! I ALSO SEE SOMETHING MOVING BEHIND THEM! I THINK THERE ARE MORE SHIPS COMING!" "ALL HANDS ON THE DESK! PREPARE THE CANNONS! THE ENEMIES ARE COMING!" – shouted the captain, causing the crew mates to sound an alarm. (Weird….) – thought Maparapara as she took out the telescope from her own inventory. (…. Why are these 3 ships…. So far ahead from the others? It will be an total suicide if they send them ahead like that?) (I mean, I can see something behind….. But isn't this…. Too far?) (…. Are they using these 3 big ships as meat shields or something?) (I don't know why, but I don't really like where this is going.) "So. This is the barricade that they had set up?" – asked a young priests on the holy empire ship. "Yes." – said the elderly paladin. "Their long range cannons are not allowing to go anywhere near them without suffering casualties." "So I've heard…" – said the young girl. "Well, I shall fulfil the duty that was granted to me by the heavens and my father." "ENEMEIES ARE IN THE RANGE!" – shouted the soldier with telescope. "THEN FIRE IT ALREADY!" – shouted the captain. The large magical cannons on the ships aimed all at once at the enemy, before then opening firing. The giant sphere of magic traveled above the sea, heading straight towards the empire ships. But….. One of the ships was a lone girl, on her knees and praying. Suddenly, an massive barrier appeared right in front of ships that instantly took on the hits from the magic cannons that rained down at the ships. "ENEMY DEPLOYED MASSIVE BARRIER!" – shouted the man on the crow nest. "The hit was direct and…..?!" "THE ENEMY BARRIER IS STILL STANDING?!" "What?!" – shouted captain. "Now, fallows of the heavens." – said the young girl. "Let me protect you from the wicked." [Maryia Kielich – One of the saints of the holy empire and child of the holy emperor - "Daughter Of Mercy"] (They took on the blast from all the cannons and their barrier did not have even single breach!? What the hell is going on?!) – thought the panicking captain. "ENEMY ARE SPEEDING UP! THEY ARE TRYING TO CLOSE THE DISTANCE!" – shouted the man on the crow nest. (Yeb…. I was right….) – thought Maparapara. "Well this sucks." – said "Kid" while using his communication devices. ("Daughter Of Mercy" and "Son Of Glory".) (The holy emperor is not holding back at all, eh?) (Honestly, I did expected him at some point to send at least 1 of them, but 2 from get go? And while the empire is stabilizing?) (Not only that, but they are not going to some neighboring kingdom or some territory across the sea that is close by…. But instead to US where were are way too far away from their own continent.) (Does the holy emperor does not want to take any chances?) (Well…. He is definitely not foolish…. That bastard is old as hell, maybe as old as my mother was.) (…..Still… This sucks.) (One of our lines of the defense at sea were broken and we took some loses.) (We were able to retreat and somewhat slow down the holy empire while also causing them to temporarily retreat….. But I guess this is hopeless.) (These guys are going all out from the get go after being stopped few times… They will destroy our fleet and they will arrive at our lands.) (This just a matter of time now.) (And how the hell none of my spies contacted me about this either?) (About 2 children of the emperor joining the invasion?) (Did he realized that I've planted spies in his empire?) (If so… This could make empire movements much more unpredictable….. Dammit.) (This will be one shitty war, won't it?)
