The wind and waves hit the glass of the bridge again and again. If there are fish or other things mixed in the waves, the glass will definitely be broken. The few people in the bridge behind the glass are struggling to control the ship in the turbulence. They feel that this ship is so difficult to tame.
"Mackenzie! Can the 4th level alchemical reinforcement array withstand the attack of a 5th level wizard?"
Facing Captain Cooper's question, the first mate Mackenzie felt that the captain must be scared silly. How could he have such a stupid question.
The attack of high-level apostles has overwhelming power and is difficult to resist. High-level apostles are like giant beasts. Everyone is careful to avoid being stared at by the beasts. Once the beasts swing their claws, low-level people will fall into disaster.
In order to encourage the rookie captain Cooper, Mackenzie said: "The alchemical reinforcement array will explode when it is damaged. This explosion is similar to directional thunder, which explodes outward in a directional manner. According to those alchemists, the explosion of the level 4 alchemical array may be able to withstand the attack of a level 5 apostle."
What Mackenzie did not say was that these statements were all self-praise by the alchemists. In fact, the protective effect of the level 4 reinforcement array against the attack of the level 5 master and apprentice cannot be said to be completely absent, but it can only be said to be extremely poor. The answer of "maybe" alone made Cooper feel a little bitter. Is his captain's job coming to an end?
The other employees on the ship felt that the end was coming. The most frightening thing to encounter at sea was that their ship was sunk. In the vast ocean, there was no land but only sea water within thousands of kilometers. No one could survive after the shipwreck.
Anyone who survived a shipwreck would have the opportunity to publish a book. He could write his experience into a drifting diary. Many seafarers would be curious about how he survived and would rush to buy or listen to his story.
When the war broke out, these crew members lost their jobs. When they found this job before going to sea, they were so glorious in front of their friends.
The crew now felt only despair. They heard from the shouts of the opposite ship that the wizards were coming to arrest the big ship owner Rudolf. Out of fear of death, they all had a strong resentment towards Rudolf. This is human nature, and this is why Rudolf was willing to fly into the sky to attract the attention of the enemy.
If they were just dragged down by the wizards, they would have a chance to survive, but they met a face-saving earl and a crazy and old knight, and they had to rush towards the enemy with a boat.
The crew thought that there were the earl's children on the ship, and there would be no danger of life. Unexpectedly, they lost the possibility of survival because of the impulse of the two.
As the distance between the two sides approached, the crew only felt that every gust of wind was carrying the chill of hell, and every wave of water might swallow them, and fear was invading their will.
In the midst of despair, it was the grace shown by the old knight butler that prevented everyone from collapsing immediately.
The white light on Nairn's body became more and more solid. In his hand was a knight's spear. When the starlight swordfish rushed over, Nairn exerted his strength suddenly. The flag of the Earl of Golden Anchor could not intimidate the Ancient Sea Wizards on the opposite side. Nairn needed to prove with his actions that he would pay a price for despising the Golden Anchor flag. The starlight swordfish was getting closer and closer, and it was getting bigger and bigger in the field of vision. The sword kiss shone with a fascinating cold light.
Nairn stood firmly on the railing. The wind and waves could not make him shake at all. He poured all the knight's strength into the knight's spear, and his body bent backwards like a longbow. Then his legs began to exert force, and the force was transmitted to the waist. The waist transmitted the force to the shoulders, and finally to the knight's spear in his hand.
The knight's spear shot forward with a white light. Like the starlight swordfish that plowed a ditch, the sea water under the knight's spear also quickly rushed to both sides, which proved the exaggerated speed of the knight's spear.
More than a hundred meters away from the Bauhinia, the lances and swordfishes collided with each other, facing each other.
First, there was a sound of broken porcelain in the air, followed by a violent explosion. The explosion emptied the seawater, and a huge pit appeared where the two collided, with waves blasting outward at the edge of the pit.
It was not until more than ten seconds later that the seawater surged back. The seawater that fell into the center from all sides collided into a water column in the center, and the water column was full of white waves.
The air wave generated by the collision was so fierce that even though it was hundreds of meters away, the air wave stopped the Bauhinia and made the huge Bauhinia retreat slightly.
Due to inertia, the people on the deck, except for Nain, fell to the ground one by one.
Nairn felt so refreshed that he even had time to turn around and talk to Kedrick:
"Master! Please remember this moment! The enemy does not take the Golden Anchor Flag seriously. If one day you become a Level 5 Knight or a Level 6 Knight, you must use the blood of the Ancient Sea Wizards to wash away the humiliation suffered by the Golden Anchor Flag!"
If it weren't for the knight behind Nairn falling, everyone would have felt more at ease. This confrontation was far from as easy as it seemed. A knight fell in a strange posture, his armor was empty, and there was a sound of dead wood hitting metal. The knight had been beaten into a dry corpse. The wind and waves blew the empty armor and kept rolling. The dry limbs and armor collided with each other.
A servant rushed over and pressed the empty armor under him to prevent it from falling into the sea. The Earl's Castle would give land as compensation to the knight who sacrificed for the Earl. The servant envied the dry bones in the armor. The knight was so lucky that he could add some land to his family. As long as there was land, serfs could be purchased to farm for themselves. Only with land can you afford cavalry. Cavalry will make the knight squires in the family become level 1 knights, or even higher-level knights.
People always focus on the most dazzling knights, and the knights can fight across levels, which makes people so envious.
Everything has its pros and cons. The knights enjoy the exaggerated combat effectiveness of fighting across levels, and someone needs to bear the cost behind it. Those who died and provided the ultimate power to the highest knights are the price of the knights fighting across levels.
Knights attach so much importance to loyalty that each level of knights must be loyal to the higher knights, which is more beneficial to the knights as a whole. The knight squires died for the level 1 knights, and the level 1 knights will also die for the level 2 knights. Each of them becomes a beneficiary of the guardian chain, and each of them may die under the guardian chain.
If anyone suffers, it is the ordinary cavalry who died for the knight squires. Strictly speaking, the ultimate power of all knights comes from those ordinary cavalry. The knight squires are responsible for sending the ultimate power in the bodies of ordinary cavalrymen upward layer by layer, nourishing the huge knight group.
"Butler Nairn, please connect me with the guardian chain!"
Seeing a knight die, Yvonne couldn't help it. Rudolf's hope of survival lies in Nairn in front of her. The only thing she can do now is to provide Knight Nairn with the ultimate power.
Nairn turned his head and looked at Yvonne. He knew that the person following the wizard must also be a heretic. His eyes were full of doubt. Yvonne was a woman and might not be able to withstand the demands of the guardian chain.
In order to prove her determination, Yvonne instantly transformed into a white wolf. The huge body represented a huge vitality. The white wolf's claws grabbed the deck, so that she was not afraid of bumps and waves.
Cooper also came down from the bridge and came to the bow. He also wanted to do something.
But Nairn shook his head: "Others can do it, but zombies can't. The death energy on the zombies is too heavy, which conflicts with the knight's ultimate power."
Not only White Wolf, but the other apostles in the crew also understood that the only chance of survival was with the old knight in front of them. Under the leadership of White Wolf, they stood up one by one. This was the only thing they could do in the face of disaster, to follow the strongest and do as much as possible.
Alchemist, ship's steward, plague carrier, ship's doctor, druid pilot... There are more than 20 crew members on the Bauhinia, half of whom are apostles. The druid pilot stretched out his hand and pressed on the deck. Pillars grew out of the deck, just right for people to hold on to and prevent people from being blown down by the wind and waves.
At this moment, Nain's figure straightened a little, and he did not forget to instruct Kedrick:
"Master, this is the meaning of the guardian chain! This is the meaning of 'guardianship'!
The knight's guardian chain was originally like this to unite other apostles behind themselves, so that the knight could become the leader of expelling evil gods.
That was the most glorious era of the knights. All the apostles regarded the knights as their kings. The knights led all the people in the northern continent to fight against the evil gods with their mortal bodies.
It was just that the knights later kept asking for it, making the guardian chain a terrifying word like vampires, tainting the word 'guardianship'."
Kedrick remembered the knight myths engraved on the corpse monument.
More than two thousand years ago, the evil gods were rampant in the northern continent, showing their charity or divine punishment at will. The evil god Annihilation created a bloody disaster, causing every river to flow with smelly black and red blood. The evil god's nest created a lice disaster, and all people and animals' hair was full of lice. The evil god Pain created a rotten sore disaster, and everyone's body from the top of the head to the soles of the feet had rotten sores...
It was the knight who first stood up and tried to unite everyone's strength, leading people to drive out the evil gods and rescue people from bloody sacrifices.
Two thousand years ago, Emperor Alec the Great, surrounded by apostles, had the power of the gods and became the main force to drive out the evil gods.
In those myths, knights are always brave and fearless warriors, and are tall figures standing in front of everyone. Emperor Alec the Great led the twelve apostles of the round table, starting from the Arctic ice field and destroying temples to the south. Behind him were the valiant twelve apostles of the round table, and behind them were endless soldiers.
People of that era wrote a myth of killing gods. After killing three evil gods, they finally drove the evil gods into the sea.
Now in the southern continent, in addition to the seven evil gods with the most followers, there are also some sporadic existences who claim to be evil gods. The three dead evil gods left behind oracle fragments, and people kept getting these fragments and trying to resurrect the three evil gods. The newly emerged evil gods are all clones with the power of the three dead evil gods.
Emperor Alec said that the knight is the leader of the continent, not because the knight is the strongest apostle, but because the knight is the only one who can gather the power of other apostles.
In the long years that followed, I don't know when the knight became a noble lord and a vampire who sucked the marrow from the bones.
Kedrick, who was used to being served by servants, even maids kneeling to serve, didn't have much experience with what Nain said, so he didn't understand what Nain was saying. He just stared at the two level 5 apostles opposite with a faster heartbeat.
He is now a level 2 knight, and he is still a long way from becoming a level 5 apostle. He ardently hoped that one day, he could become the master of others like the senior apostles.
After the first starlight swordfish was smashed, the wizard's ship was once again filled with rich starlight. The swordfish wizard's attack was not over.
A ball of light condensed again at the bottom of the ship, and then disappeared.
The sea surface returned to its dark appearance. This calmness was even more frightening. I don't know where the starlight swordfish was hiding.
"Down there!"
Nairn was the first to discover the abnormality underwater.
A starlight swordfish lurked in the deep sea, and rushed up from the deep sea to the bottom of the Bauhinia.
Nairn pulled out the chain ball hidden in his waist and threw it towards the railing. The iron ball tied a knot around the railing. Nairn grabbed the other end of the chain ball and jumped onto the sea. The iron chain was very thin and long, which could ensure that Nairn was always connected to the ship. The iron railings and chains were emitting a hazy white light, which prevented the railings and chain ball from collapsing.
After jumping into the water, Nairn saw the unusually conspicuous Starlight Swordfish, which now rushed straight up from the bottom of the sea.
Nairn threw his lance at the Starlight Swordfish. What made Nairn feel uncomfortable was that the faster his Knight's lance went, the greater the resistance it encountered, but the swordfish did not have this problem.
The people on the boat were connected to the guard chain, and dozens of chains drilled into the seabed together, accompanying Nairn in the battle.
The next moment, everyone found that the Bauhinia jumped up. A huge impact came from the bottom of the boat, and white water splashed around the Bauhinia, and most of the people on the deck were shocked and squatted on the ground.
On the ship of the Wizard Association, the Swordfish Wizard frowned, and his attack was in vain again. The Knight was so hateful that he was embarrassed to be forced into this situation by a Level 4 Apostle.
The explosion under the water was so violent that the water flow mixed with air waves hit the boat heavily. After the water column rushed into the sky, it fell back to the deck.
These waves were mixed with the broken star power of the Starlight Swordfish, giving people the feeling of being hundreds of meters deep at the bottom of the sea, cold and with strange pressure. Many people almost died just by being touched by the attack of the Level 5 wizard.
Kedrick was standing too far forward and was hit by a huge wave, and the whole person fell backward. There was some star power of the swordfish wizard in this wave. After Kedrick spit out blood, he found that the blood in his mouth was cold, not warm.
He was in pain all over and couldn't help trembling. At this moment, a guardian chain suddenly connected to him. It was not a guardian chain for asking for power, but a real guardian chain.
Nain was transmitting extreme power to Kedrick through the guardian chain. This power instantly improved Kedrick's bad condition, and his face looked better.
The chain ball wrapped around the railing kept shaking. Not long after, Nain jumped out of the water and stood on the railing again. He turned his head and looked at Kedrick. After transmitting some extreme power, Kedrick was in good condition.
To Nairn, Kedrick is the most important person. Nairn's family lives in the vast Earldom of Golden Anchor, and his son and grandson both serve in the Royal Navy's Golden Anchor Fleet. The life and death of the young master is even more important than the life and death of this old knight.
After smashing the Starlight Swordfish again, Nairn's momentum is even stronger. The Bauhinia is moving forward at full speed, and waves after waves are crushed by the hard steel and magic array on the bow.
Don't let the knight get close to you, this is something all apostles know. Nairn is getting more and more excited, and the Bauhinia is getting closer and closer to the ship of the Wizarding Society. Both sides can even see each other's expressions.
