Path of Light.

Chapter 950, Page 949: A Firework Show

The half-elf guards of the mine surged onto the dock from the rocky shoreline north of Luyun Fortress, where they clashed with the grey dwarf warriors fleeing across the dock.

Most of these grey dwarf warriors had run off from the ships. They hadn't had time to put on their armor and didn't have any useful weapons. Under the onslaught of the half-elf guards, they quickly fled south.

A row of ships were moored on the dock, and the gray dwarves untied the ropes at the bows, preparing to maneuver the ships through the gaps between them.

The surging waves crashed against the ships one after another, and some of the gray dwarves lost their footing on the deck and fell into the sea.

The sea at this moment is like a ferocious beast, opening its mouth to devour everything on the coast.

At this moment, under the escort of a squad of gray dwarf warriors, Commander Koster struggled to board the Sea Emperor's behemoth through a small path made of sampans. Under the towering waves, the massive Sea Emperor's behemoth did not rock so violently. The gray dwarf warriors on board held their positions wherever they could cover themselves, and launched counterattacks against the sky and the sea.

Seeing that Commander Koster had returned safely to the ship, their morale soared, and the gray dwarf warriors' counterattacks became more organized.

"Give me the order! The giant ship must take off as soon as possible. We must drive those griffins away at all costs!"

Commander Koster said to his adjutant behind him, "Although I've drunk quite a bit, the impact of the icy waves has completely sobered me up."

The adjutant quickly relayed the order, and soon the levitation devices around the entire giant ship lit up with magical light. The griffin riders in the night sky gathered around and hurled a large number of short spears at the levitation devices and the gray dwarf warriors.

However, these levitation devices all had protective shields, and the gray dwarf warriors on the ship carefully raised their chain shields above their heads. Even if short spears came down and hit the chain shields, they could not pierce through the three-centimeter-thick chain shields.

As the levitation devices lit up one after another, surrounded by magical glow, the more than two-hundred-meter-long sea emperor's behemoth began to slowly rise and gradually detach itself from the sea surface.

As it rose higher, the surging waves pushed it toward the shore, its hull covering the tops of the other sailboats...

Another Poseidon-class battleship also rose into the night sky along with this Poseidon-class battleship.

All the giant whaling crossbows on the forty magic airships in the night sky switched their targets, aiming their crosshairs at the two sea god warships, and the half-elf guards loaded the crossbow bolts imbued with the 'Meteor Fireball' magic.

Suddenly, a halo of flames lit up the pitch-black night sky, which then transformed into shooting stars that fell from the heavens.

These falling meteors all shared a common goal: all the giant crossbow bolts were aimed at the two slowly ascending Poseidon warships...

Upon seeing the firelight in the night sky, the gray dwarf warriors on the giant ships noticed that the seven masts of the two sea god giant ships began to glow. Magic runes carved on the masts like vines continuously lit up, forming a dazzling pattern. Just as this pattern was fully lit, a pale green, hexagonal magic shield resembling a honeycomb appeared above the entire magic airship.

This was the first time Roy had seen Hextech on the Grey Dwarves' giant ship...

The magical light shield on the giant ship was made up of countless hexagonal light shields, which looked just like a giant umbrella appearing above the ship.

As the meteor fireballs continued to fall on the light shield, the exploding flames were completely isolated by the pale green light shield. Each time a meteor fireball exploded, the nearby hexagonal light shield would dim, and magical ripples would spread outwards from the light shield. The magic runes and arrays on the entire Sea Emperor's ship would also dim. As the magic crystals in the gem slots continued to shatter, the gray dwarf warriors hurriedly filled them with new magic crystals.

Meanwhile, the magic crystal next to it, which was at the critical point of the shield, turned completely crimson red, as if it was about to explode at any moment...

Commander Koster, surrounded by a group of guards, arrived at the top of the ship's deck. He looked up at the pitch-black night sky and instructed his adjutant:
"Prepare all the ballistae, and also bring out the four magic cannons on the ship. Once the elf's magic airships come into view, use the magic cannons to sink them all. Let the warriors use the ballistae to deal with those griffin riders..."

"Yes, Commander."

The adjutant immediately agreed.

Soon, near the ship's side, a group of gray dwarf warriors began adjusting their ballistae, while two magic cannons emerged from under the tarpaulin at the ship's high, upturned bow.

Meanwhile, on the wings extending backward on both sides of the stern, two magic cannons, under the control of the gray dwarf, revealed their barrels covered with dark gold patterns.

What the grey dwarves completely ignored was that this scene was witnessed by the half-elves on the magic airship.

If they didn't recognize magic cannons, or if their airships weren't equipped with them, perhaps these half-elf hybrids wouldn't have reacted so dramatically...

Knowing the power of the magic cannon and seeing the cannon barrel exposed on the giant ship below, the half-elf on the magic airship immediately tensed up. The volley of meteor fireballs that had just been fired was completely blocked by the giant ship's magic shield.

The gray dwarf warriors on the two giant ships were completely unharmed. At this moment, the two giant ships revealed eight magic cannons...

"Boss, it looks like they're going to use a magic cannon on us!"

Captain Rodhart shouted at Roy from inside the captain's cabin.

"Then let's make our move first. Send down the order to adjust the direction of the airships and make them fly up a little more. Be careful not to accidentally hurt the elf guards on the dock or the sea monster warriors in the sea."

The half-elf guards left on the magic airship seemed to have been waiting for this moment. Upon hearing that Boss Roy had agreed to use the magic cannon, the group of half-elf guards excitedly pushed the magic cannon to the edge of the ship's side...

At this time, the whaling crossbow had been loaded with a new round of giant magical bolts. It was still a giant crossbow imbued with fire-type meteor fireball magic, which was extremely effective against ships.

As a massive ring of fire once again coalesced in the night sky, the grey dwarf warriors on the two giant ships knew that a new wave of magical attacks was imminent.

The gray dwarf warrior in charge of controlling the magic shield turned the output power of the gem base to the maximum, and the pale green shield above the giant ship immediately became brighter.

One after another, giant magical crossbows exploded on the light shield, and flames engulfed the shield.

The flames that burned for a moment disappeared from the light barrier, and the color of the barrier only faded slightly...

This level four group fire magic could not break through the magic shield on the giant ship, which was now completely floating on the sea surface, being dragged by the levitation device.

Nearly a thousand grey dwarf musketeers stood on the ship's side, firing toward the dock.

If the scene hadn't been so chaotic, the cannons on the ship's side would have bombarded the battlefield near the dock.

Hidden in the night sky, the griffin riders continued to hurl short spears at the giant ship, which bounced off the magical shield.

……

With the two giant Poseidon ships successfully taking off, the gray dwarf warriors at the Luyun Fortress docks were greatly encouraged.

These grey dwarf warriors displayed remarkable resilience when facing the fierce onslaught of the white sheep orc warriors. They fought tooth and nail against the white sheep orc warriors on the terraced rooftops of the cliff face, vying for every single tile and rooftop, determined to prevent the orc warriors from reaching the docks.

Meanwhile, the half-elf guards on the north side of the dock were also held back by the grey dwarf warriors at the northern end of the dock. Commander Levent had already gathered a group of trusted officers around him and was beginning to prepare for a counterattack…

The siren's song echoed from afar, as surging waves relentlessly crashed against the dock.

The gray dwarf warriors could even see the siren warriors emerging from the sea...

The Aries orc warriors, leaping from the rooftop, used the momentum of their downward charge to launch wave after wave of extremely fierce attacks, giving the gray dwarf warriors no chance to catch their breath.

Past grievances made the killing incredibly bloody...

Each rooftop was littered with the corpses of numerous gray dwarf warriors, their blood staining the ground almost entirely red.

……

As the two giant Poseidon ships slowly rose from the port and lifted off the surface, even if Zessana, who was fighting in the sea, noticed them, she wouldn't have time to sneak into the ships.

Zezana's body was half above the surface of the sea when a surging wave came from behind and slammed her back into the water.

Countless gray dwarf warriors were also tumbling in the sea. Zephyr saw the dark hull of the ship through the water and knew she had missed her last chance to board. She turned and swam toward a gray dwarf warrior who was drowning beside her.

Like a swift seal in the sea, she rushed up and circled behind the gray dwarf warrior, wrapping her arms around his neck. With her other hand, she thrust the spike upwards from below the third rib on the left side, the triangular blade of the spike piercing directly into the left ventricle.

As she forcefully pulled the spear out, a jet of blood gushed from the gray dwarf warrior's abdomen, instantly staining a large patch of seawater red.

Zephyr would not stay where she was at this moment. She didn't even need to confirm whether the gray dwarf warrior was alive or dead. She turned around and searched for her next prey in the sea.

The Siren Raiders infiltrated the port of Luyun Fortress to wipe out all the gray dwarf warriors who had jumped into the sea. Since these gray dwarves and half-elves had formed an irreconcilable hatred, there was no need to show any mercy when they fought each other; it was a fight to the death!

Zezena brought out this thrusting weapon to harvest the souls of the gray dwarf warriors.

The other siren warriors around her followed Zezena, imitating her clean and efficient assassination techniques in a similar manner. However, these gray dwarf warriors were not lambs to be slaughtered.

The gray dwarf warriors are born with superhuman strength. Only a second-tier powerhouse like Zephyr can easily slaughter gray dwarves in the sea. Other siren warriors are somewhat lacking in ruthless methods.

At this moment, the seawater was tinged with a faint blood color, and the strong smell of blood had even attracted many sharks.

When a deep horn sounded in the night sky, Zephyr, who was in the sea, shuddered violently, instantly snapping out of her killing frenzy.

The sirens could also emit a sharp sound in the sea. At this moment, she let out a shrill scream that made countless sirens warriors feel piercing. All the sirens in the harbor abandoned their prey and scattered towards the seabed outside the harbor.

As the large number of sirens retreated, only a few gray dwarf warriors were left struggling desperately in the sea.

……

As the two giant ships ascended to a height of a hundred meters, Commander Koster, standing on the ship's deck, could already see the countless magical airships swarming into the night sky.

The magical arrows fired from these magical airships couldn't penetrate the magical shield on the Sea Emperor's giant ship, which made Commander Koster extremely proud. He even had an irresistible urge to fire the magic cannons on the giant ship at an upward angle and shoot down a few of those magical airships floating in the night sky.

These magical airships launched a night raid on Luyun Fortress, nearly turning the port and docks upside down...

just now……

Their arrogance should be completely crushed!
The giant ship continued to rise, and the angle of the magic cannons was constantly being adjusted as the gray dwarf gunners tried to choose the best firing angle.

Suddenly, a deep horn sounded in the night sky, lasting for almost a minute.

The giant ship rose from a low altitude of 150 meters to a height of nearly 300 meters. Before the gray dwarf warriors could adjust the angle of the magic cannon, they saw a blinding beam of light shoot out from the magic airship opposite them.

The moment that blinding beam of light appeared, despair filled the eyes of the gray dwarf warriors on the two giant ships...

As the first beam of light appeared, a row of magic airships simultaneously unleashed a row of magic beams...

Commander Koster, who was overseeing the battle from the top of the ship's deck, immediately recognized that the magical beams of light were the trails left by the full-force fire of the magic cannons.

Only an extremely powerful magic cannon could condense such a dazzling pillar of magical light. The magical light bullet fired from this magic cannon is equivalent to the power of a level 5 spell, 'Thunder Bomb'...

The pale green magic shield on the giant ship was instantly torn apart the moment it was hit by the light bullet.

Then, all the light projectiles fired from those magic cannons instantly hit the two Poseidon warships...

The light bullet not only pierced through the Poseidon's behemoth, but its afterburner also flew nearly a hundred meters beyond the ship.

"Ka-ka-ka..."

A series of cracking sounds came from the Poseidon behemoth. The behemoth that Commander Koster was on almost instantly disintegrated in the night sky. As the levitation device exploded, the Poseidon behemoth began to tilt to the left, and the broken part of the bow fell directly into the sea.

The gray dwarves on the deck slid down the sloping deck, and after they were separated from the giant ship, they became free-falling objects in the air and fell into the sea.

The magical beam of light pierced through the giant ship, creating a huge hole in the two-hundred-meter-long vessel...

The levitation device shattered, the giant ship could no longer hover in the air, and after a loud collapse, some of the broken pieces fell into the sea.

Some large objects crashed into the sea, creating huge waves that crashed against the dock.

The gray dwarf warriors fell into the sea one after another from the ship.

The grey dwarf warriors who were fighting the half-elf guards on the docks were completely dumbfounded. Even the Levent Legion Commander, who was organizing the battle in the port square, stared blankly at the night sky in disbelief.

The enormous fireworks display in the night sky continues...
