Chapter 3655 Barrier
"Slow down and avoid them! Contact the Island of Poseidon! Ask them to stop the enemy's attack."
Island of the Sea God.
The two ships rapidly approaching each other in the sea immediately alerted the priests of the Sea God's Island.
High Priest Darcy reported to the High Priest: "High Priest, we have received news from merchant ships of the Oz Empire that they have been attacked by ships of the Lyman Empire and are pleading with us to intervene immediately to stop the battle."
"Oh? The Empire of Oz?"
The high priest sat in his wheelchair, his heavy eyelids slightly lifted, and he looked up at the distant sea through the window.
"Push me over there to take a look."
"Yes."
The guards pushed the wheelchair and led the high priest to the window of the towering tower.
Through the window, you can see the two fleets approaching each other on the distant horizon.
“Reginald… he just obtained the power of the gods, and he’s so excited to try it out…” A cold glint flashed in the high priest’s cloudy eyes as he murmured, “Well, once he experiences this power, he probably won’t be able to give it up.”
"High Priest, shall we proceed?"
"War is prohibited in the waters around Poseidon's Island. This is the rule, and we must stop it."
The high priest said calmly, "However, the two sides in the war are backed by two great empires. At most, we can only persuade them. If persuasion fails, we can try limited intervention. If Reginald does not heed the advice of the Isle of Sea God during this period, and the merchant ships of the Oz Empire are defeated too quickly, we can only express our deep regret, can we?"
Darcy understood the high priest's meaning and nodded, saying, "I understand, high priest. I will immediately lead men to intervene in their conflict."
The high priest reminded them, "We must ensure Reginald's safety; he is very important to us."
"clear."
After leaving the tower, Darcy immediately contacted both sides' ships, urging them to exercise restraint and cease their attack postures immediately. At the same time, he boarded the Seagod Island ships and chased after the direction in which the battle had begun.
It's just for show.
Darcy knew Reginald's character well; he wouldn't change his mind because of a simple warning.
However, Cao Ge was unaware of these things.
Upon receiving feedback from Poseidon Island, Cao Ge immediately relaxed slightly. Then, seeing Poseidon Island's ships beginning to meet him in the distance, he breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that the other side has also received a warning from the Island of the Sea God. With the intervention of the Island of the Sea God, they should stop, right?
"Hey." Fang Heng looked at Cao Ge and said, "It seems that the people of the Lehman Empire don't have the same reverence for the Island of the Sea God as you do."
"what?"
Cao Ge was taken aback.
Looking up again, the ships of both sides approached to a certain distance, and the long-range energy cannons of the three ships of the Lyman Empire suddenly lit up, obviously having entered the charging state.
"Damn it, they've activated their core weapon's energy storage!" First mate Howell's eyelids twitched, his expression immediately changing as he shouted, "Quick! Activate the defensive barrier! Retreat! Get out of their way!"
Cao Ge was greatly surprised.
He never expected that the other party would actually dare to launch an attack despite the intervention of Poseidon's Island!
hum!
A pale blue barrier opened around the merchant ship.
No!
There's no escaping it!
The enemy's energy beam attack network is too dense!
Their defense barrier can only withstand a maximum of ten attacks; a single sweeping attack can completely shatter their barrier!
Cao Ge suddenly turned to look at Fang Heng beside him, "Boss Fang!"
"Ah."
Fang Heng raised his head and looked at the Lehman Empire's ships in the distance.
"Boom! Boom boom!!"
The Lyman Empire's ship-mounted crystal cannons activated, sending thick beams of energy hurtling toward the merchant ship.
Fang Heng quickly condensed a mark in front of him.
Elemental Barrier!
The surrounding water elements quickly materialized, gathering towards the outer layer of the ship and forming a huge water curtain barrier in front of it.
"Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh!!"
what! ?
The crew members on board were prepared to withstand the impact of the energy beam cannons, clinging tightly to the railing. However, the energy beams did not affect the ship at all, even as they approached or passed by them.
Merchant ships have been operating smoothly all along.
what happened?
Looking up, one could see that the heavy energy beam cannons did not explode after hitting the magical water curtain formed in front of the ship. Instead, they were pulled along the water curtain barrier by some special force and slid to the sides.
They all dodged it?!
Cao Ge stared in astonishment at the scene before him.
This gave him a strange feeling, as if the energy beam cannon's attack had been deflected.
Is that even a possible tactic?
Fang Heng looked at the enemy ship from afar with a calm expression and said, "Don't worry, they can't attack us. Accelerate and ram them."
"Yes!"
Howell had long harbored resentment towards the people of the Lyman Empire, and seeing Fang Heng take action, he was immediately excited and loudly signaled to his crew, "Full speed ahead!"
"Yes!"
Not far away, Captain Cyril saw the water curtain rising from the outer edge of the enemy ship and his heart skipped a beat.
What the hell is that?
In his mind, the outer barrier of ordinary merchant ships was very weak, and a few shots from the energy crystal cannon could easily destroy them, without even having to fight them head-on.
However, that barrier directly blocked the energy crystal cannon's all-encompassing attack!
That's absolutely impossible!
What terrified Captain Cyril even more was that, instead of retreating under the intimidation of the long-range energy crystal cannon, the enemy accelerated and charged towards them.
to death?
wrong!
He's more inclined to believe that the other party has something to rely on!
"Aim! Fire!"
"Boom!! Boom boom!!!"
Only when the two sides were closer together did Captain Cyril gradually see how the other side was dodging the energy crystal cannon.
The outer water curtain is not a defensive barrier, but a special force-dissipating technique that can deflect oncoming energy crystal cannons to the sides.
Although I can understand the principles.
but……
How did they do that?!
Some unknown deity?
Despite the intense barrage of energy beams, the ship continued to move forward at high speed.
In the distance, the priests of the Island of the Sea God were equally astonished by what they saw.
I've never seen such a defensive barrier before; how could it withstand the attack of an energy cannon?
High Priest Darcy was taken aback for a moment, then saw the merchant ship charging towards the three ships of the Lyman Empire amidst the cannon fire. His heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition arose in his heart.
No way?
Has the Lehman Empire really bitten off more than it can chew this time?
Darcy shouted, "Quickly! Immediately warn that merchant ship from the Oz Empire to stop their attack! This is the waters of Poseidon Island; fighting here will anger the sea god!"
"Yes!"
On the merchant ship, Fang Heng stood on the deck, his gaze slowly focusing on the deity on the bow of the other ship, a hint of greed in his eyes.
Oh?
It seems to be a higher-ranking deity?
That being the case...
Bring it over and take a look! (End of Chapter)
