Chapter 948, Section 947: Bloodbath at the Port

Under the pitch-black night sky, the gray dwarves on the deck were impaled by short spears falling from the sky, collapsing one after another on the crowded deck. Some gray dwarves were even squeezed into the crowd and could not fall down directly. Blood kept gushing from their bodies, making the gray dwarves on the deck appear even more chaotic.

Those gray dwarves who were not hit by the short spears quickly moved to the side of the ship's deck and into the bow cabins.

Some clever grey dwarf warriors even grabbed the dwarf chain shields hanging on the wall, while others rushed to grab the magic muskets, climbed to the top of the ship's deck and the crossbars of the mast, and fired into the foggy, dark night sky.

Streams of flame shot into the sky, and by the light emitted from them, the gray dwarf warriors saw griffins soaring through the night sky beyond the mist. On the backs of those griffins were even more indistinct figures, those figures throwing short spears from high above.

The gray dwarf warriors on the three-masted sailing ship tried to lift the rain cover of the cannon hidden on the edge of the deck, but unfortunately the cannon mount was not able to be fired into the air at an angle.

A group of grey dwarf warriors, carrying chain shields, approached the crossbows at the bow of the ship. These crossbows, mounted on three-masted sailing ships, were designed to fire bolts with attached ropes. These bolts, when fired at enemy ships, could quickly bring the two ships together.

They fired a crossbow bolt with a rope high into the sky, but unfortunately the sky was too dark, and the griffins were flying very high. Even at its highest point, the bolt couldn't reach the griffins' flight altitude and couldn't hurt them at all...

Most of the gray dwarf warriors crawled back into the cabins below deck, leaving only a few wounded men with short spears piercing their bodies on the deck.

Some gray dwarf warriors leaped directly into the sea from the ship's side, while others escaped to the dock by stepping on tandem sampans.

The entire dock was thrown into chaos, filled with screams and roars. Many of the gray dwarves realized they had no way to fight back and could only frantically try to escape...

Under the cover of a light mist, the griffin riders in the sky continuously hurled black short spears. At first, the gray dwarf warriors on the deck were very densely packed, and almost every short spear could pierce a gray dwarf warrior.

Later on, the gray dwarf warriors hid or held their chain shields above their heads, so the short spears were not as lethal as before.

At this moment, clusters of fireballs flew out through the thin mist and then exploded on the row of ships, with sparks from the fireballs continuing to burn on the ships.

The decks of these three-masted sailing ships were covered with animal hides. When the flames fell on the hides, they only charred them, but did not ignite the sailing ships...

The sails on the ship were all rolled up on the crossbars, and the fireball that struck from the night sky spun through the masts and landed on the wider dock.

In the distant depths of the sea, the siren's song gradually became clearer.

Under the cover of night, it looked as if thousands of ships were crashing into the port of Luyun Fortress with the waves.

The courage that the gray dwarf warriors had finally mustered vanished once again. Like deflated balloons, they lost their last fighting spirit and fled to the docks on the shore.

My head felt heavy and foggy, as if I were possessed by a nightmare, and I couldn't wake up from the dream no matter what I did.

Some of the gray dwarf warriors fell into the sea while running, and the cold seawater instantly sobered them up.

They wiped the seawater off their faces and swam toward the shore.

They didn't even know who the enemy hiding in the shadows was before they were attacked so fiercely that they scattered and fled.

The gray dwarf warriors were all fierce, and they tried various counterattacks as they fled...

...The grey dwarf warriors floating in the sea were unaware that their danger lay not only in the night sky, but also beneath the vast ocean...

The siren warriors suddenly appeared and dragged the gray dwarf warriors, who were struggling to swim to shore, back into the sea.

The Siren Warriors can reach five meters in length when fully extended. A Siren Warrior emerges from the pitch-black sea, their bodies covered in a dim, shimmering scale, only visible when approached.

Strong, bony arms emerged from behind the gray dwarf, gripped his neck, and plunged headfirst into the sea.

These siren warriors were elites who followed Jezena from Sun Island Bay in the Partington plane. They had also captured some grey dwarf bandits in the waters of Quel'Thalas.

In the eyes of the siren warriors, as long as they dragged the gray dwarf warriors to the bottom of the sea and slammed their heads against the hard sea rocks a couple of times, they would be unable to hold their breath any longer. After swallowing a few mouthfuls of seawater, they would be completely stunned.

Especially since these grey dwarves were already under the spell of the siren singers' songs, they were prone to experiencing strange hallucinations...

However, these gray dwarf warriors who jumped into the sea were not immediately subdued by the sirens.

They fought back fiercely in the sea, displaying extraordinary strength. Even in the pitch-black depths, these grey dwarf warriors were able to effectively break free from the sirens' clutches, and they would even engage in hand-to-hand combat with the sirens in the water.

Even if the siren warriors took them to the bottom of the sea and stirred up a lot of mud and sand during the fight, these gray dwarf warriors were not alarmed at all...

They were excellent swimmers, able to hold their breath for a long time underwater, and their muscles were as hard as rock, making them extremely heavy. When the siren warriors entangled them, it felt as if their bodies were bound to a solid rock.

The gray dwarves, with their powerful physiques, were not afraid of the bone spikes on the siren warriors.

Even if you get pierced by the bone spurs on the Siren Warrior's joints, you can break them with your powerful muscles.

However, the seabed was the home ground of the siren warriors. At first, the gray dwarf warriors were able to hold their own, but after a few minutes of stalemate, these gray dwarf warriors began to struggle in the sea and tread water to swim to the surface.

These grey dwarf warriors jumped into the sea completely unprepared, without armor or any suitable weapons, and were no match for the fully armed siren warriors.

These siren warriors now almost all carry one or two magical weapons, including tridents and daggers at their waists.

While a siren warrior was fighting a gray dwarf in the sea, his arms were tightly bound by the gray dwarf warrior. Then, a three-headed, six-armed siren phantom appeared behind the siren warrior. As the phantom merged with the siren warrior, two pairs of arms immediately appeared behind the siren warrior, and three heads with different expressions appeared on his head.

The siren warrior used his two free arms to choke the gray dwarf warrior's throat, and his other arm to cover the gray dwarf warrior's face...

The gray dwarf warrior felt a sharp pain in his back as a sharp dagger emerged from his chest. He opened his mouth and screamed as a large amount of seawater poured into his mouth...

At that moment, in the sea near the port of Luyun Fortress, countless gray dwarf warriors who had jumped ship were being slaughtered by a group of siren warriors of unknown origin.

They all perished tragically at the bottom of the sea...
