Athenian Navy, Invincible! 2/2
Meanwhile, having lost the powerful support of the gods, the human fleet heading to the Sea of Okeanos also found itself in a fierce battle against the densely packed, nearly endless Giant God Aberrations.
Thousands of deep-sea warships rose from the water, their red and black light patterns shimmering on their hulls. Their menacing cannons, frantically drawing in the surrounding Aether Factor energy, immediately launched a concentrated bombardment of the civilization host that had delivered itself to their doorstep.
Boom boom boom boom!
The crimson beam of light, like the scythe of God of Death, swept through the air, accompanied by sharp explosions.
However, as the seawater evaporated into a vast mist that violently churned and boiled, one after another, human ships shrouded in an eggshell-shaped, eerie blue light broke through the hazy barrier, spun rapidly on the water's surface, and faced each other side by side.
In an instant, amidst the friction sounds of the operating mechanisms, the puppets, Dragon Tooth Soldiers, and Earth Guardians, with their side-string rotating winches, pulled each of the cyan-gold cannons, inscribed with intricate incantations and made entirely of magical metal, to the height of their fixed points.
At this moment, under the protection of the magic puppets, Dragon Tooth Soldiers, and Earth Guardians, the Magecraft, priests, and priests standing on either side of the magic cannon immediately High-Speed Chanting.
Instantly, a series of intricate Sorcery Array emerged from the gun barrels, sterns, central axis, and ports. The frantically gathering Magic Beam, compressed to their limit, shot out with a deafening roar. In an instant, several deep-sea warships that were unable to defend or dodge were brutally torn apart by the scarlet beams. Accompanied by explosions and flames, the two halves of the wreckage slowly sank into the sea.
Surprise attack! Wow!
On the deck of the Argo, Jason excitedly slammed his fist against the side of the ship's gunwale, his face beaming with joy.
As the transparent water vapor rippled, rows of Ocean Nymphs, and Tethys, the goddess of ocean currents standing at the bow of the Argo, guarded the front and flanks of the fleet, bestowing blessings and protection upon them.
Ha, you didn't expect that, did you! We have that too!
36,000 Divine Authority Seal! 3,000 Nymph's Ocean's Blessing! That's enough to give you bastards a run for your money!
Jason stroked the cannon called the "Divine Authority Seal," its surface filled with mysterious incantations, its interior surging with wild Aether Factor energy, and the dazzling magic crystals embedded in its various nodes, all of which captivated him.
Designed (plagiarized) by Theseus, the Hephaestus the Craftsman God, the three Cyclops, and numerous other weapons of war forged by the Subordinate God, this gave the originally weak human fleet the ability to contend with the steel monsters of the Deep Sea Fleet on the sea.
When the hard shell of the Deep Sea Fleet can no longer protect its core engines, it loses its so-called advantage.
In comparison, human ships, encased in iron shells with wooden interiors that facilitate the flow of magic and maneuverability, actually have an advantage in speed and adaptability.
After a brief period of confusion, the stunned Deep Sea Fleet regrouped and charged forward with overwhelming force, like hungry wolves that had spotted a flock of sheep.
A concentrated assault? They really haven't learned their lesson at all!
Jason, standing against the sea breeze, a cold smile playing on his lips, drew his longsword and, through the resonance of Sorcery Array, transmitted battle instructions to the entire army.
"The first and second fleets will flank the enemy. Although their hulls have been reinforced, they are still not as rigid as deep-sea warships, so direct collisions and contact should be avoided!"
"The Third and Fourth Fleets' Divine Authority Seal are fully charged. They are 30 kilometers ahead of the target and will take turns providing fire support to cover the advance of friendly forces!"
The dispersed Greek fleet, thanks to its high mobility, not only effectively evaded most of the Deep Sea Fleet's artillery fire, but also used its own advantages to maneuver around and turn the cooled-down Divine Authority Seal, launching a sneaky counterattack under the cover of the Nymph's sea fog.
Moreover, the seemingly easy prey of the Third and Fourth Fleets, which were sometimes fighting and retreating, and sometimes turning to the side, always maintained a state of being neither close nor distant, like a carrot hanging in front of a donkey, which they could see but could not reach, and could only run for their lives.
Meanwhile, the First and Second Fleets, flanking from both sides, were like piranhas repeatedly tearing apart their large, clumsy prey, constantly scraping flesh and bones from the Deep Sea Fleet, rapidly eroding its numbers.
As the saying goes, even a fierce tiger fears a pack of wolves. The Argonaut Expedition, relying on its mobility, the concealment provided by the Ocean's Blessing, and the armor-piercing spear of the Divine Authority Seal, avoided mindless close combat with the assembled Deep Sea Fleet. With relatively few casualties, they gradually shifted the balance of victory in their favor.
Is this the wolf pack tactic mentioned in the letter?
Dude, I'm really starting to admire you more and more.
With the heavens as your gods and the earth as your kings, Athens, with your commander, once this fleet retains its essence and fighting spirit, it will be absolutely invincible!
Jason was deeply moved to see that in just a few tens of minutes, the sea surface was covered with the burning and sunken wreckage of deep-sea warships, while his own losses were minimal.
Just as the fierce battle between the two fleets was about to come to an end, the seawater near the human ships began to boil and surge violently.
Hoo hoo!!
In an instant, amidst sharp howls, demonic hounds engulfed in flames and tens of meters long leaped from the water, viciously attacking the human ships. One after another, the Chimera into the air, their three heads opening their mouths to spew out three-colored breath.
At that moment, silver-gray lines twisted and surged forward, and snake women rose from the sea mist, firing erosion arrows, emitting high-frequency oscillations from their tongues, and chanting magical Spell projectile, one after another, crashing into the human ships that were blocking their way.
Not only that, but Area Annihilation Weapon flying through the air, Atlantis soldiers savagely charging in on deep-sea warships, and even mutated sea monsters all surged in from all directions one after another.
The Greek fleet will face more than just deep-sea warships at sea!
The creations of the Echidna Armory, the aberrant sea monsters, the fallen defensive forces of Atlantis, and even the Colossal Titan army personally built by the three Star-Seeded Soldiers, all require them to deal with on their own. Looking around, it can be said that there are enemies everywhere!
"First Fleet, Colossal Titan Spirit Liquid Cannon on the left flank is charging! Divine Authority Seal is still cooling down, turn left 30 degrees! Immediately dispatch Arcadia Sharpshooters to prepare for sniping! Magecraft Enchantment, Priest's Blessing, Cleric's Summoning! Full defensive spells activated!"
"Ahead, in the Meteor Sea Region, a large number of snake women are entrenched. The Magecraft chants a ritual incantation of verses one through three to protect the ship's hull. The hatches open, releasing karmic fire and water mines!"
"Approaching the storm zone! A Wyvern of fallen wyverns spotted! Pegasus Knights and Combat Nymphs, bring these bastards down!"
Standing before the battlefield sand table in the control room, Jason's thoughts raced. Under this relentless onslaught, he racked his brains to find a way to deal with each attack.
Even so, as they broke through one blockade after another, the casualties of the Greek fleet increased dramatically. The increasingly sparse ships around them caused Jason, the commander-in-chief, to become irritable and depressed.
"Laaa!"
Just then, a chilling and murderous hymn resounded, and the three Star-Seeded Soldiers each gathered their Star Ring, raised the Sword of the God of War, their star patterns shining, and unleashed torrents of extremely powerful Aether Torrent.
As Jason's gaze fell upon the entire sea, the pierced landscape was instantly covered by this terrifying light!
