Chapter 484 - 421
Gale-force winds surged from all directions, enveloping the entire fleet; nearly every three-masted sailing ship faced the onslaught of the merfolk. The one solace for the exiles was that due to the merfolk’s undersea way of life, their weapons were extremely primitive, mostly fashioned from seafloor rock and shells, and struggled to pierce the hulls of the three-masted ships.
Blood kept dripping. These exiles and the merfolk had once been allies, and now they had turned against each other.
But regardless of who killed whom or who was killed by whom, it would not affect the friendship between the Undersea Kingdom and the Nus Kingdom. This naval melee would never be recorded in the histories of either side.
Nimirda loosed arrow after arrow, having lost count of the number of merfolk he had slain. He was merely directing the elves instinctively, steadying the morale of his troops.
In the end, the merfolk were driven back to the sea. The deck was piled with bodies from both sides, and cries of mourning for lost loved ones spread amid the rain, as the people of Logos grieved.
The fleet was tossed about by the waves; the storm whipped up the sea, darkening the sky and land, while thick clouds loomed overhead. The retreating merfolk manipulated the currents, attempting to crash the ships of Logos into one another.
Soon, two three-masted ships collided, entangling with one another, and dozens of elves were thrown overboard by the impact.
Upon seeing this, Nimirda immediately called on the Logos people to shoot down the merfolk in the water from the deck. With that order, hundreds of arrows plunged into the sea. Nobody would have imagined that one day the exquisite archery of the Logos people would be used against their own kin.
The storm grew fiercer, the clouds thicker, lightning thundering, and rain furiously lashed down. The ships quaked like in an earthquake upon the high seas.
The waves grew larger each time, like the grudge of the merfolk, and the Logos people fought for survival amidst the destruction, some even diving into the water to fight the Merfolk. In the end, even the sea was littered with bodies, its waters stained red.
Thanks to the resolute resistance of the exiles, the vengeance-seeking merfolk were finally defeated thoroughly. In the end, they did not succeed in consigning the Logos people to the depths.
