Chapter 141 135 Battle of Infia Sea (Part 3)

Ever since approaching the Infia sea area, Felix's brow had never relaxed. The recent dispatch of the Wind Element Mage Yiyunya, who unexpectedly did not return, cast a shadow over his heart. As a commander, he disliked such unknowns. Yet the accompanying mages, over a dozen of them, remained unalert.

The mages, with their esteemed status, wouldn't share a warship with the dirty, smelly sailors but had their own special large cruise ship. This ship was not heavily armed because the mages themselves were the most powerful weapons. There was ample fresh water, various entertainment tools, and a considerable number of attendants—all to make the mages' journey more comfortable.

Even with the potential for battle to erupt at any moment, the mages wouldn't miss their dining times. On the spotless deck, a lavish dining table was set where they sat together to enjoy a lunch fare far more sumptuous than what the officers had.

It was the misfortunate Yiyunya who had been sent out, after all, she was the only Wind Element Mage here.

Music played, drinks flowed freely, and the mages were quite merry.

But regrettably, at this very moment, someone came to disturb the esteemed mages' refined mood. Suddenly, a young sailor at the bow shouted, "There seems to be someone in the sky."

The leader of the Mage Corps, the esteemed Light Element Mage Clement, said dismissively, "Is it Yiyunya coming back? The lady has really had a tough time."

However, the young sailor exclaimed in alarm, "It's not Lady Yiyunya, there are many people in the sky, flying so fast!"

Clement then took on a slightly more serious tone, "Enemy Wind Element Mages? Unexpectedly, on the Southern Continent, one can still see a Mage Corps composed of Wind Element Mages."

In the Northern Continent nations' military operations, mages are a strategic unit. When a good number of mages come together, a Mage Corps is formed. This is not a military unit per se but actually a department where mages self-manage within the military—more akin to a guild of high-level technicians within a company.

For a military commander to make use of the power of mages, negotiations with the Mage Corps are essential.

Clement was a Mage, with extraordinary strength, and aside from the somewhat threatening Wind Blade, Wind Element Mages needed to be promoted to Mage before they could use destructive magic like tornadoes. Clement's Light Element magic, however, could enhance other mages and even boost ordinary soldiers, making enhancement-type Light Element Mages the most welcomed by the military.

Felix looked up and saw a scene he would never forget in his lifetime.

Four huge metal ships, floating in the air, these metal ships were rectangular and not particularly aesthetically pleasing, but Felix could feel an atmosphere of grim determination emanating from the cold sci-fi metallic shells.

Each of the metal ships had a section missing on the front, where two gun barrels were mounted. Felix was certain that these were extremely dangerous weapons!

The Iridium Star Railgun wasn't just a crude pair of tracks; to reduce the friction between the projectile and the tracks, the Iridium Star railgun actually launched projectiles suspended in a magnetic field, with the gun barrels actually being fixtures to stabilize the rails and confine the magnetic field, not true gun barrels.

The 1WM lightweight Railgun, when used in a support combat role, could be set to a mode with smaller firepower but a higher rate of fire. A single Railgun could fire 2000 rounds per minute, with each projectile weighing around one kilogram but possessing the power equivalent to the impact of a 155mm howitzer with a large explosive warhead.

When the four armed landing crafts appeared in the sky, all the officers and soldiers of the Black Flag Fleet were struck dumb, unable to utter a word. Even if the four ships were merely hovering in midair, the pressure they brought was still terrifying.

The officers were stunned, with no one instructing the crew below to take action. The gunners did not even bother to load ammunition into the cannons, because they had no way of shooting the projectiles into the air. Everyone seemed to be waiting, as an eerie silence spread throughout the Black Flag Fleet.

Only Felix, with eyes nearly popping out of his head, yelled furiously, "You idiots, start the ships, turn the helm, get us out of here, out of here!"

As he was shouting, the cannons of the four Floating Warships in the sky began to turn. Those who could see clearly at that moment went crazy, sailors hurriedly jumped into the water from the deck, some even climbed out of their cannon positions to escape the warship.

Hum!

The dull sound was different from that of cannon fire. The projectile shot through the air and struck below the waterline of a warship sailing ship over a thousand tons. The exploding projectile instantly tore a huge hole in the hull of the warship, blasting from below the waterline up to the deck, causing the now incomplete ship to capsize!

Hum, hum, hum!

More projectiles cut through the air, all of them targeting below the waterline of the warships. The intensity of the firepower, like a meteor shower, suddenly brought hell upon the heads of every single person from Shangduohan.
