Chapter 605: 605
Luke had been leading the 1st squad knights for the expedition on the Southern Continent .
They had 200 knights and 100 Gigants and another 50 iron mage and war mages to assist them .
Normal soldiers wouldn’t be of great help, so he brought a minimal number of troops to support the knights and be on guard during the missions .
However, in addition to the 100 Gigants led by Luke on Auster, 20 more ships for self-defense were carried .
Those Gigants were made by reverse-engineering the Crabs captured from the Grenada Kingdom in the past .
The Gigants were named Triton . They were smaller compared to the average Gigant, and its outer armor was made of wood, so it looked different from a Crab .
However, it was different as it had been equipped with a warrior class’ core engine of 1000 fight, and it could float on water because it had an air tube inside .
In any case, the marine Gigants had been lifted onto the deck via the fright lift .
Kwang! Kwang! Bang!
The ships of the Song Empire didn’t give up the battle even after getting smashed by Auster and getting hit by the shells .
As soon as they retreated, they could escape . However, the transport ship carrying the landing troops would be captured or sunk by the enemy .
In that case, even if they survived, the operation would be recorded as a huge failure, and the commander’s name would be removed along with the lives of the commander’s family members .
At least considering the remaining family members in the home country, they all thought that fighting and dying in battle would be the best option .
“Do not step back! Stand tall!”
“Approach the ships that are down and attack!”
The struggle of the Song Empire was heard .
Despite the damages they sustained from the shelling, they eventually succeeded in sticking together to fight .
When one of them was down, a dozen ships, including the Imperial Dragon, stuck to Auster .
The Song Empire sailor hung ropes and began to climb on board .
“Shoot them!”
“Stop the enemies from getting onto the deck!”
Symphonia sailors shot their arrows, trying to stop the men coming on board .
Hundreds of soldiers suddenly appeared from the Song Imperial Navy’s side .
They were the strong Moorim martial clan men belonging to the army .
Some of them were on the transport ships to assist in any possible attacks .
Wheeing! Wheeing!
They struck down the pouring arrows with their swords, and they quickly flew to the deck of Auster .
“Wh-what? These men are?”
“Stay back! They are strong men!”
Most of the Symphonia sailors didn’t know what Hwang Bo-sung was talking about .
However, knowing that they were not strong enough, they stepped behind the knights .
The knights, who were already equipped with armor, came ahead with their swords and shields .
The powerful people, who climbed on the deck, were astonished .
They weren’t surprised to see the knights but were shocked to see the large doll that was behind their backs .
“What is that?”
“Don’t tell me… A puppet?”
“No, they must be the steel dolls used by the northern men!”
The Moorim warriors were compelled to stay still .
It was because they couldn’t imagine seeing a Puppet or any Gigant in the middle of the sea .
While they were in shock, Luke ordered the knights .
“Shoot! Don’t let them go back!”
Triton rushed ahead and swung its giant sword at the Moorim warriors once the orders fell .
Following Hwang Bo-sung, the Symphonia Knights began to attack as well .
“Kuak!”
“Kuk!”
“D-don’t fall back!”
The battle proceeded one-sidedly in favor of the Symphonia Knights .
The Moorim people sent by Mak Dong-chung tried numerous things only to be wiped out by the enemy .
Among them, there were a number of Absolute power-holders of Moorim .
However, in front of the Gigant’s combat power, they were powerless, and the moment their weakness was seen by Luke, Hwang Bo-sung, Reynard, and Shirley immediately took action .
Besides, the skills of the other knights were considerably high too .
When it came to being a strong player on the field, they were one step behind, being first-class knights .
They had enough experience in war . Their not just excellent with swords but also in close combat .
“Ugh, this is bad for us . Step back!”
“Retreat!”
At the words of the Moorim people who realized that they couldn’t do much, they tried to run back while a few of them were captured .
When the Moorim warriors retreated, the morale of the Song Empire sailors plummeted .
Despite the encouragement, their situation didn’t improve .
Rather, Tritons threw in large planks or jumped onto the deck of the Song Empire and swung their huge swords . The confusion and hopelessness turned intense .
“Huhuhu!”
Mak Dong-chung burst into laughter as he saw his fleet crumbling .
The entire operation felt bad for some reason, but he never thought that he would meet such a monster in the sea .
That large ship of the enemy exceeded what they heard about from the Yemaek Navy . And the Puppet, well, he never imagined the steel doll of the northerners, which were only used on land battles, would be fighting on the ship’s board .
The steel doll named Gigant was a weapon that ordinary soldiers or Moorim warriors could ever deal with .
If he had known there was a Gigant on the ship, there was no way General Mak would engage in a battle on board .
“The entire fleet, retreat!”
He couldn’t help but order a retreat .
However, their escape wouldn’t happen that easily .
The Yemaek fleet was already blocking their retreat, and even the Imperial Dragon ship and two Tritons crossed over and created hell on the deck .
Thud Thud Thud!
“Surrender! If you surrender, I will let you live!”
The riders in the Tritons, who were on deck, screamed while moving their giant sword .
Mak Dong-chung didn’t understand what the Northern Continent rider was saying, but he didn’t have to know the language to understand what the other party was saying .
In any case, there were two options in the situation—surrender or fight .
However, Mak Dong-chung was an honorable warrior .
“You think I will beg for my life in front of the enemy? Me, the General of the Great Song Empire?!”
Mak Dong-chung struck Triton with a pole .
The rider flinched at the momentum and screamed at the man that came at him . Without his knowledge, the rider swung his sword at Mak Dong-chung .
Slash!
Mak Dong-chung, whose martial arts weren’t that outstanding, quickly fell for the giant sword .
It was a terrible death . A death that everyone on board would never forget .
“Th-that stupid…!”
Hwang Bo-jangcheon, who was recused by an allied ship after leaving the Imperial Dragon ship, swore while looking at the battle from a distance .
He did run away, but he thought that he could lead the battle to an advantage if he succeeded in leading one ship .
The battleships of the Song Empire had powerful Moorim warriors on board, so he thought that with enough men, he had the chance .
And as he thought, he managed to relay orders to the Song Empire’s ships which were in close range to the enemy’s fleet .
“Kuahhhh! Right! Go up on their ships and kill everyone! Wipe them all out!”
As if he had been conducting the operation from the beginning, Hwang Bo-jangcheon screamed .
However, the battle, which he thought he would have a chance, ended when the Puppet and knights of the enemy entered onto their ships .
The Moorim warriors, who struggled to fight with the enemy, either tried to escape or surrendered .
“Damn, turn the ship! Retreat at full speed!”
Hwang Bo-jangcheon, who became nervous, gave orders for the entire fleet .
There were still 20,000 warriors, 5,000 zen skill users, and Kangshi hidden under the deck .
However, no matter how strong they were, what could they do?
If their opponents shot their guns from a distance, the ship would capsize and the entire Kangshi troops would be annihilated .
Dozens of transport ships turned around and began to flee at full speed .
But that didn’t happen .
It was because Luke, who had been chasing them with Fly magic, cut off the mast of the transport ship with Wind Cutter magic .
Eventually, several ships ended up sinking, it was then that the Imperial Dragon ship lifted their white flag .
