Path of Light.

Chapter 849 850. The Sinking Ship
Because of the continuous snowfall, the sea surface was very cold.

But if you dive just two or three meters, you will encounter warm sea water, and it will be even warmer if you dive deeper.

There are hundreds of Siren warriors swimming back and forth in this sea area...

Those gray dwarves who jumped into the sea from the imperial merchant ships first had to face the cold sea water, and then the siren warriors under the sea.

Of course, the coldness on the sea may not be a big deal for the gray dwarves from the frozen sea...

But they couldn't defeat the sirens in the sea.

Sabrina jumped into the sea and immediately several sirens approached her. At first, the sirens thought Sabrina was an elf who accidentally fell into the water and were ready to rescue her from the sea and send her back to the three-masted sailboat.

After Sabrina surfaces, she tells a Siren captain Roy's order...

The siren captain immediately dived into the sea and let out a loud scream in the sea.

The sound was so sharp and piercing that it reached Sabrina's ears through the sea and even made her feel dizzy.

Soon, the surrounding siren warriors gathered together and surrounded the imperial merchant ship. Although they did not have special tools for drilling, the sirens were born with supernatural powers. Even if they used their tridents to poke the thick wooden boards outside the merchant ship, they could still poke a hole as thick as a thigh in the merchant ship.

However, if one wants to pierce through an imperial merchant ship that is nearly 100 meters long, a hole as thick as a thigh is obviously not enough.

Nearly eighty sirens were attacking the ship at the same time. Sabrina did not return to the imperial merchant ship. She dived into the sea and floated on the side of the merchant ship. The shadow of the elven swordsman appeared behind her and merged into one with her.

As the Serruki sword in Sabrina's hand emitted a nearly one-meter-long sharp sword energy, she raised the Serruki sword above her head and stabbed it hard at the side of the imperial merchant ship. The blade went straight into the side wall. As Sabrina stepped on the side wall of the merchant ship with both feet, she used all her strength to cut a large hole with a diameter of two meters in the side wall of the hull.

She kicked the circular hole open, and seawater immediately poured into the hole...

The suction created by the cave entrance nearly sucked Sabrina into the dark cabin, and the Siren warriors swam towards Sabrina one after another.

A Siren warrior swam out of the sea with Sabrina and took her to a three-masted sailing ship. There was a grid rope ladder on the side of the three-masted sailing ship hanging into the sea. Sabrina climbed back to the ship along the rope ladder.

The sirens followed the hole opened by Sabrina and entered the interior of the imperial merchant ship.

The sirens had dug countless holes in the bottom of this imperial merchant ship, and the entire hull was sinking at a speed visible to the naked eye...

A large amount of seawater poured into the merchant ship, and the gray dwarves in the bottom cabin began to wail in fear.

Soon the entire merchant ship was in chaos.

At this time, Roy, who was waiting on the deck, opened the Book of Judgment, and a small silver hammer appeared in front of his chest.

Hundreds of magic patterns emerged on the magic pattern structure on his body, and these patterns formed dozens of magic runes. As the entire magic pattern structure was activated, various shields appeared on his body. Six blessing halos appeared under his feet at the same time, and a sacred shield condensed on his arms with holy light.

The Hammer of Judgment flew directly into the passage below the deck, smashing a large hole in the chest of a gray dwarf bandit.

The gray dwarf fell backwards and hit the wall directly...

Roy took the opportunity to rush into the corridor on the next floor. He swung the flail with his right hand, and a holy light bullet flew out, shining brightly in the dim passage.

The panicked gray dwarves tried to avoid and dodge, but the gray dwarf who rushed up from the bottom of the stairs couldn't avoid it at all and was hit directly by the holy light bullet. His body collided with the gray dwarf behind him, and a group of gray dwarves rolled into a ball on the stairs.

Roy came to the stairs holding the holy shield. A group of half-elf guards followed him and chopped down several gray dwarf bandits who tried to resist.

Roy stood at the stairs and began to rush to the second floor with the elf guards.

At this time, the stairs leading to the second floor were crowded with gray dwarf bandits, and even some half-elves who did not have time to enter the cabin on the next floor.

Roy didn't care about that and immediately ordered the elven guards behind him to shoot the gray dwarf bandits at the stairs with bows and arrows. The gray dwarf bandits standing in front were full of arrows and rolled down the stairs one after another. The gray dwarf bandits behind them quickly avoided them.

The gray dwarf bandit was shouting some unintelligible dwarven language, his eyes filled with anger.

A team of half-elf guards blocked the stairs with shields raised, and behind them was a group of archers holding elven longbows...

A hail of arrows was fired, and the gray dwarf bandits who rushed up from the bottom of the stairs immediately raised their shields and arms to block.

At this time, a row of spears pierced out from the gaps in the shields.

Immediately, the group of gray dwarf bandits retreated.

Roy held up his shield, crouched down, and reached out to pull up the half-blood elves squatting on the edge of the stairs. A square hammer hit Roy's back, and a dragon scale shield appeared out of thin air on Roy's magic pattern structure, which immediately blocked the square hammer...

At the same time, several arrows fell on the gray dwarf bandit who attacked Roy.

The gray dwarf bandit wailed and retreated down the stairs.

At this time, the gray dwarves in the bottom cabin had begun to riot. Countless gray dwarf bandits rushed out from the bottom cabin, and the gray dwarf bandits in the entire staircase were running upwards.

The gray dwarf bandit pushed and shoved, shouting loudly:

"The ship is about to sink. The ship is about to sink. Everyone, get out quickly!"

The gray dwarf bandits kept rushing up, but the half-elf guards at the stairs formed a shield wall. Anyone who dared to rush up would be stabbed down by spears... The gray dwarf bandits also kept throwing flying axes at the half-elf guards at the bottom of the stairs. Some of the flying axes were blocked by the shields, while some of them hit the half-elf guards.

Some half-elf guards were knocked down by flying axes and were dragged behind by their companions.

They were wearing full mithril armor, and flying axes could not cause fatal injuries to them. As long as they were dragged onto the deck, there would be a group of priests waiting to treat them.

Relying on the heavy armor of the magic pattern construct 'Griswald', Roy resisted the attacks of the gray dwarf bandits and rescued several half-elves on the stairs.

……

The cabin below the deck was filled with half-elves.

There were only a few gray dwarf bandits guarding them in the corridor. Roy led the half-elf guards to rush into the stairs to the next floor, and more than a dozen half-elf combat teams followed the cabin corridor into the cabin.

They are organized into teams, each led by an outstanding captain.

These captains are usually first-level high-level elf warriors, and the other elf guards are also first-level elf warriors.

The first task they received was to deal with the gray dwarf bandits in the passage of this level, rescue the half-blood elves in the cabin, and seize the other staircases leading to the lower level...

For such a large merchant ship, there is more than one staircase leading to the lower level on each cabin. According to the information obtained by the half-blood elves, there are a total of five staircases from the lower level to the second lower level.

In addition to the widest main staircase here in Roy, there is a staircase every twenty meters on the merchant ship.

Roy was between the tower and the fourth mast...

The other staircases were temporarily blocked by the gray dwarves from below, making it impossible to enter the next level of the cabin from the deck.

You can only enter the next floor from the staircase entrance on Roy's side, and then follow the corridor on the next floor to capture other staircases.

These more than ten elite combat teams re-entered the passage and continued to clear out the gray dwarf bandits in the corridor, then quickly occupied the staircases and began to clear the passage leading to the deck.

At this time, Roy had already brought the half-elf guards to the stairs to the second floor.

Dozens of corpses of gray dwarf bandits were lying all over the stairs, and the half-elf guards piled these gray dwarf corpses on the stairs from the second floor to the third floor.

This will stop the gray dwarves rushing out from the bottom cabin...

Under Roy's leadership, the gray dwarf bandits in the staircase corridor were no match for the half-elf guards who were blessed with divine spells. They kept attacking the stairs but were blocked by the half-elf guards.

The seawater continued to pour into the lower cabin, and the gray dwarf bandits became terrified.

Unfortunately, several staircases were blocked by half-blood elf guards...

"If you don't want to die, lay down your weapons and surrender!"

"Drop your weapons and surrender!"

"Drop your weapons and surrender!"

As a large number of half-elf guards rushed into the second lower floor, the gray dwarf bandits who tried to climb out of the pile of corpses lost their last will to fight.

They dropped the hammers in their hands and wailed:

"We surrender, we surrender, let us climb out, we are drowning..."

Seeing the gray dwarves throw away their weapons and climb out from the stairs to the second floor, the half-elf guards hurriedly asked them to unbuckle the belts around their waists and used them to tightly bind their arms before letting them walk off the deck.

The merchant ship continued to sink...

Soon, more than a thousand gray dwarf bandits in the bottom hold of the merchant ship were all taken captive. They were tightly trapped by their belts. Some of the gray dwarf bandits failed to grab the waistband of their pants in the first place, and those heavy leather pants were slipped down to their knees.

There was thick snow on the deck, and the gray dwarves were shivering with cold.

At this time, the great magician Grames, who was standing on the magic airship, had stopped casting spells. The dark clouds in the sky quickly dissipated, and the vortex of magic gathered at the bow disappeared.

The half-blood elves in the cabin also came out, supporting each other.

The dark clouds dissipated, and beams of sunlight shone through the remaining clouds, and the snow on the boat was melting rapidly.

A three-masted sailing ship slowly approached, and the two ships were connected together again with a grid of rope ladders.

The half-blood elves who escaped the disaster boarded the three-masted sailing ship with pale faces...

This time, nearly four hundred gray dwarf bandits were left forever on this sinking imperial merchant ship, and more than two hundred half-elves were killed by the brutal gray dwarf bandits in the melee.

The last batch of gray dwarf prisoners left the imperial merchant ship, and the three-masted sailing ship, which had been severely tilted, quickly untied the grid rope ladder and restored its balance.
