Chapter 152

Shannon already saw the commotion and frustratingly roared, "Damn these assholes, I knew they would disrupt my plans if anything was going out of the expectations . Ignore that ship and move forward . Blow the horns to charge at full speed ahead . If we fail this mission then it will be hell for us in the court . Those assholes will anyway get away scotfree with a little bit of lip service while we will be ones who would be made to take the blame for the failure of this mission . We can’t turn back now that we have already lost 7 ships . The remaining 48 ships will move forward with full speed . We will blitz one of their ships and try to run away by taking advantage of our speed . So continue moving in more numbers . They only have 5 ships and they won’t be able to hit all of the ships and keep up with us at once . "

Darius roared to one of the ship captains who was rushing at a faster speed behind their ships after hearing Shannon’s orders, "What are you assholes doing? Don’t you know I, Lord Darius and Lord Grim are on this ship? Do you have a deathwish? Follow us protecting this ship and I will make sure you guys aren’t implicated . This operation is a failure just by looking at the firepower of those ballistas . While those mini ballistas are targeting any ships that are able to come near those ships . Every single one of men that has tried to reach them has died a gruesome death along the way . Do you guys want to suffer the same fate?"

Eric smiled after looking at the chaos that was happening in the enemy camp . He spoke to Sean, "It looks like Admiral Shannon still doesn’t have full command and control over his fleet during this operation . I thought he was a very capable admiral when it came to naval battles . "

Sean smiled as he understood and spoke, "This time it is mainly due Grim and Darius who followed the fleet on Fjord’s orders and hence the result of defying the orders . "

Eric smiled as he gave orders to his men using the voice enhancer, "Don’t let any single one of them escape . We are going to strike deep fear in their bones after this assault that they would never dare to even think about attacking us . Don’t let a single man leave this battlefield alive . That Duke will pay for his arrogance this time around . I will make sure even the Royal family is alarmed and think twice about making a move on us after watching the lethality and results of this war . "

Sean reported to Eric about situations in one of the ships from their fleet, "Eric, one of our ships is being isolated and is assaulted by Shannon’s fleet, what do we do? It looks like they are focusing on one of the ships . From the looks, it seems they are targetting on acquiring the ballistas from our men . "

Eric nodded and thought, "It looks like Shannon is determined and prepared to sacrifice a bit of his fleet to acquire the ballistas, A wise decision from his part . He has not been Admiral of Fjord’s navy for nothing . We will start by increasing the speed of our attacks . Start supporting the isolated ship, don’t hold back in firing the ammunition even if they miss . We will take advantage of the chaos created by Darius and Grim in the right wings . Stop focusing on them and begin supporting the other ship that is being focused by Shannon . Grim’s side is anyways paralyzed and we won’t be facing any attacks from the right wings so just ignore . We will be kiting them at other wings . "

After two hours of arduous battle and a lot of attrition from both sides . Shannon was only left with 27 ships while Eric was soon running out of ammunition . Water was fully hot because of the intense fire . There were no living beings in the area of battle, from small fish to big hydras . All the creatures were keeping a long distance so that they don’t get implicated in this battle .

Shannon was quite happy with the result after his strategy started working on focusing on one ship only, He spoke to his vice-admiral, "At last we are close to that ship, they are already out of ammunition, if only, we had the left wing from our fleet then acquiring one ship would have been much easier with fewer casualties . I guess agreeing to Duke Fjord on bringing Darius and Grim was a very big mistake . I knew that Grim was just like his other brothers, Selfish and scheming scum at the best . I wish I could reject Duke when he asked me to bring them as well . "

The vice-admiral nodded and spoke, "That’s true, you have been our admiral for a long time . If not for our left wing, we would have been able to assault that ship with 5 more ships that are currently occupied at the left wing because of the chaos created by Lord Grim and Darius . I guess this is one of the reasons we have so much of our casualties right now . "

Admiral Shannon was looking at the sea when he heard cheers from the enemy camp . He couldn’t understand what was happening as the resistance from the enemy ship increased to many folds .

The vice-admiral spoke as he heard them, "I guess this is their last resistance, the captain on that ship is quite a capable man since he is able to rouse his men to such a degree even at this point . Ring the horns, we will be decreasing the speed of our assault . This is the last spurt of their resistance . We will only be causing more casualties since they will fight till death . Those mini-ballistas have already caused us enough damage . I wish we had those weapons . "

The scout exclaimed as he saw a huge fleet of ships afar, "No . . . ! Look at those huge ships . Those ships have the banner of Captain Blake . Those ships are charging for us directly . "

Vice-Admiral exclaimed in shock as he too looked at the direction, "How is it possible? We were sure that they left for patrol just 2 days back . How are they here? This doesn’t make sense . "

Eric’s scout told them of the arrival of Blake, Eric exclaimed after watching through the telescope "Hmm . . . that asshole just came at the right time . It is good, we won’t be losing any of our ballistas . "

Blake smiled as he looked at the ships that were trying to assault one of Eric’s ship, In a carefree manner he asked his men, "Boys now are your fun times . Do you feel excited?"

Bran spoke as he heard Blake, "Of course boss, Fighting those monsters was one heck of a deal . Fighting these scum from Fjord’s domain would be more fun . That boy Swann and Judd are missing some real action this time around . "

Blake spoke as he heard of Judd, "Its good that they are busy at Aurora Island or Judd would again have started the assault without my orders and made a mockery out of me . "

Boris the scout spoke, "True, we would have needed to take care of that kid, he became quite cocky on that island because of those new toys . However, he is quite good as a shooter . Hmm . . . by the way, the enemy ships are already in our range . currently, we are 480 meters away from those ships, You can fire if you want to . "

Blake rolled his eyes and spoke, "Speak this earlier instead of that other bullshit . Is this battle a joke to you guys?"

Boris spoke with a poker face, "Boss, you were the one who asked us if we are excited or not . And please you are already taking this battle as a joke after watching the effects of our weapons . Don’t give me that look . You won’t like it if I spill about the location of the wines you hid from Judd . "

Blake was quite speechless after hearing him,

Bran gave his orders as he heard Boris without waiting for Blake’s orders, "Okay, Okay . All the ships, get ready to fire at those ships which are approaching us . "

Bran’s subordinate blew the horn which indicated their line of attacks .

Admiral Shannon cursed as soon as he spotted Blake’s fleet, "Fuck, if not for those assholes, we would have been successful at getting those ballistas . "

Vice-admiral wondered whom did the Admiral Address when he spoke previously, He thought, ’Is he cursing that Pirate Blake and his men or is he cursing Lord Grim and Darius?’

Bran ordered as all the ships fired at once, "Fire . "
