Chapter 52: Death Whisperer
As the seawater poured inside the battleship, it gradually started tilting, and the people on board jumped into the sea to escape.
Under the surface, Amos ignored the struggling ants in the sea. His wings flapped and changed the flow of the water, striking straight towards the strongest weapon master, while the dragon siblings encircled Archmage Jax.
On the surface of the sea, Gandalf's eyes were as sharp as a sword, and he shook the staff in his hands. The head of the stick faced the white dragon attacking underwater, as he stepped on the surface of the water and rushed towards Amos.
Stepping on the waves!
Amos’s head emerged out of the water and opened his mouth to bite. His tail was accumulating power. When the two sides approached closer to a certain distance, Amos opened his wings, which slowed the momentum and acted as a brake. He turned static, and the slender tail swept up diagonally from the surface of the water, lifting a large amount of seawater and drew it towards the weapon master.
Facing the sweeping dragon tail, Gandalf had no change on his calm face, his body squatted down, and the tail sliced above his scalp, and the strong wind blew his white hair, while the water jet sprayed at his white robe.
Gandalf's legs stepped on the water, his body moved like a rabbit, and he raised his staff to smash it against the white dragon’s head. Witnessing this, Amos slapped his wings horizontally.
If Gandalf continued with the attack, he would be shot on his wings. A giant beast more than a dozen meters long and a human being two meters high faced each other. It was hard to think about who would suffer more.
Gandalf retracted his staff and stepped on the void as if stepping on the ground, his body moved horizontally. The staff was pointed on the flapping dragon wings, as he accelerated his retreat. He landed twenty metres away from the surface of the sea.
In the first round of confrontation, no one gained an advantage.
Gandalf’s thoughts sped as quick as electricity, and the cunningness of the white dragon in front of him came unexpectedly. Sea was still the home of the white dragon, and it was too disadvantageous for him to fight with him in the sea.
Amos naturally also knew his advantage. In addition to this, his opponent must also take into account ships and soldiers in the sea when they fought against each other.
Amos took a deep breath, and Dragon's Breath burst out from his mouth.
Gandalf looked at the oncoming dragon's attack, greeted his teeth, and cursed the white dragon shamelessly, but thought of the hundreds of lives on the sea behind him, if he couldn't save them, he wouldn't be welcomed in Pele City in the future. He had to bite the bullet and take the attack head-on.
The energy in Gandalf's body surged, and the long staff in his hand danced like a windmill, blocking Dragon's Breath.
Bruce on the Death Whisperer commanded loudly, "Fight against them with crossbows!"
The soldiers on the surrounding battleships took off the crossbows from their waists and aimed at the white dragons and fired volleys of arrows. Fortunately, the white dragons were in the sea between the battleships, and the embedded crossbows on the ship could not be shot. The ordinary bows and crossbows were not very threatening.
However, Amos noticed that magical arrows were loaded with ordinary crossbow arrows, which made him feel threatened.
Amos interrupted his attack and dived into the water. The crossbow bolt shot into the water, hitting the white dragon's scales and slid away.
On the sea, Gandalf breathed a sigh of relief. The breath of the white dragon was unexpectedly powerful. Although he blocked the dragon's breath with his combat skills, the shocking cold made his face and hands turn blue and purple. If this had continued, he wouldn't have been able to hold on anymore.
At this time, the Murlocs also approached the battlefield, sneakily grabbing the limbs of the drowning people, pulling them into the sea, and killing them.
The soldiers who dived into the sea died, while only a few lucky ones who grabbed the rescue rope managed to survive.
Underwater, the four white dragons looked at each other tacitly, the technique was repeated, and the dragon horns headed towards the battleship overhead.
Jax and Gandalf had ugly expressions and quickly tried to stop the white dragons, but they were too late.
Bruce saw the gradually tilting ship and shouted, "Mage! Hurry up!"
The mage on the ship agreed and enchanted the high-level professionals with the ability to walk on water and underwater breathing spells. The high-level professionals jumped off the boat, and a few people worked in groups to protect the warship.
There were also high-level professionals among the Murlocs, but there were only a dozen of them. They concentrated on two attacks under the command of Old Blind.
The soldiers on the ship picked up the crossbow and shot their arrows, and the copper-backed snapping turtles in the distance also sprayed water arrows and shot them at the soldiers on the battleship. The soldiers had to counterattack, and the two sides continued their attacks.
Without the cover from the attacks of arrows, the masters of the frigate being besieged by the murlocs were all in danger. The masters who protected the other warships were not without support, but the strength was scattered. As the warship lacked protection, it was attacked by two white dragons at the same time, tilting it slowly.
Bruce looked at the battle situation underneath, his heart was in a rage, and he ordered the Death Whisperer to move to the battlefield.
Amos noticed the Death Whisperer who was approaching quickly. Although he didn't know what was wrong, he hurriedly told his siblings to be more vigilant and enchanted himself with various defensive magic.
Soon, the ace warship of Bailey City bared its fangs, and on the cabins on both sides were like gull-wing doors opened, revealing a row of fixed cannons, the muzzles with pale skulls, and there was another one on the bow. With the five-meter-long main gun, as the spell was casted, the entire battleship was filled with a black aura, exuding a strong breath of death.
Alchemy Battleship–Death Whisperer!
The two warring parties hurriedly put aside their hands, the humans jumped on the battleship, and the white dragons and murlocs dived to the bottom of the sea.
A white light came out of the muzzle, and the shells screamed, like the howls of the dead, flying towards the Murlocs.
Underwater, Amos sensed the approaching cannonball, his dragon tail swayed, and covered a Murloc, while the cannonball hit the dragon tail.
"Lord!"
Accompanied by a faint pain, a trace of lifeless energy drilled into the dragon's tail, but was wiped out by the powerful vitality in the white dragon's body.
Amos took a deep breath and was taken aback. This ordinary shell launched by the Dead Whisperer came with necromancy magic.
On the Death Whisperer, the black air also had a considerable impact on the crew on board, many people bent over and coughed.
Bruce activated a certain piece of magic equipment, wrapped the ship in faint white light, resisting the invasion of necromantic magic, as contact with necromancy was not a good thing for living people.
Bruce ridiculed himself in his heart: It’s really killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred.
However, if the Dead Whisperer didn't have such side effects, the strength of the Dumbledore family wouldn’t have been enough to keep it.
Bruce drove these messy thoughts out of his mind and ordered the spell to a stop.
According to historical records, the Death Whisperer was originally the ship of a Necromancer who took advantage of the fire when the demon invaded, but was defeated by the elves and sank to the bottom of the sea.
Later, the ancestors of the Dumbledore family accidentally obtained the wrecked Death Whisperer. After several generations of hard work, they finally repaired it. Although the power was not as terrifying as the ancient ship, it was a first-class Alchemy battleship.
It was also with this alchemy ship that the Dumbledore family killed countless sea beasts, opened up the route from north to the south of the mainland, and established the richest city in the north of the Lowe Kingdom.
"Cast the acceleration spell! Retreat!"
Bailey City fleet started to accelerate, and escaped, the Death Whisperer was at the back of the fleet, covering the retreat of other warships.
Of course, Amos was unwilling to let them go with impunity. Since they dared to attack the White Castle, they must be prepared to be buried under the sea.
The white dragons led a team to follow closely, but the speed of the battleship was faster than the Murlocs' swimming speed, and the army could only follow the enemy till they got exhausted.
Amos flapped his wings, threw off the water on his body, and flew into the sky.
