Chapter 1669: Chapter 1693. Battle Aboard the Ship

"They want to board us!" Viking exclaimed after seeing the incoming man-of-war.

The four other men-of-war that opened the way for Liguritudum's flagships advanced while firing their cannons at Palgrost's ships around them, preventing these Palgrost's ships from providing support for the flagship where Thelgrun was on.

"How conceited! Do they think they can take our ship intact?" Thelgrun yelled with fury.

"I think they also want to get to you, Mister President. Please, stay behind me!" Helga warned. Judging from their speed, they wouldn't be able to avoid the incoming enemy flagship.

"I can take care of myself, Admiral! Don't concern yourself about me. Just burn the enemy!" Thelgrun exclaimed. He held his hammer at the ready.

Even if Thelgrun said so, there was no way Helga left Thelgrun for real. Not when the enemy was coming at them. She readied herself to cast her spells once the enemy came into range.

The enemy flagship might be coming over, but it didn't mean they would just stay put even if they couldn't avoid that flagship. The enemy flagship was coming from their side, which also meant the enemy had put themselves right where their canons were aiming. The fifty-six cannons on the side facing the enemy all fired at the same time.

Not every shot hit, but a decent number did. Considering the enemy flagship's large size and how close it was, it would be a miracle to miss every shot. Multiple explosions occurred on the enemy flagship.

These explosions didn't endanger that ship, though. As a flagship, the incoming man-of-war had a tougher defense and had more upgrades compared to a normal man-of-war. The glow of rune diagrams was seen along its hull. There was even a silhouette of some sort of shield around the flagship.

The enemy flagship lost some HP but not significant. The shield had reduced much of the damage. It continued to charge over without slowing down. It returned fire using the four cannons on its bow. Those four shots hit Palgrost's flagship. They were fired from an even closer range and Palgrost flagship had its side exposed, thus providing an even wider target area.

Like the enemy, Palgrost's flagship also had protective rune diagrams covering it. Additionally, it had tougher hull plates, giving it a higher defense. The damage it suffered gave no reason for concern, but the shots still caused enough shock that disrupted the crews' effort in reloading the cannons, and so delayed Palgrost flagship from firing the second time.

The delay was enough for Liguritudum's flagship to arrive. It had an extremely large naval ram on its bow. It also looked strong and sharp. A kind of glow covered this naval ram, no doubt an enchantment that increased its offensive power.

The two massive men-of-war collided. The naval ram of the Liguritudum's flagship failed to pierce into Palgrost's, but it did take out a decent chunk of its HP as well as causing a powerful impact that threw almost everyone on board to the floor.

Multiple grappling hooks were thrown out of the Liguritudum's flagship. With these grappling hooks, the Liguritudum's flagship slowly adjusted itself to come side by side with the Palgrost's flagship. As it did, many ethereal soldiers jumped over into the Palgrost's man-of-war.

Helga had prepared her spell. He cast it at the ethereal soldiers who were jumping over. Violent wind filled with flames washed over these soldiers. The weaker ones were unable to resist the force of the flame and were pushed in different directions. Some fell back into Liguritudum's flagship. Some fell into the water below.

While the flames from Helga's flames were still raging, a shadow was seen jumping out of the Liguritudum's flagship into the flames. Soon after, the raging flames were split into two. This shadow passed through the split flames and landed on the deck of Palgrost's flagship. Following him were many ethereal soldiers.

Viking used his Inspect on the ethereal who had opened the path for the enemy soldiers. The ethereal's name was Kaghast. He wore light armor and used a pair of katars for weapons.

"Kaghast, the high executor who leads the Liguritudum armada to rule the inner sea," Helga greeted. "You are well known even in Palgrost."

"Flattery won't get you my mercy," Kaghast said. A trio of human players jumped over after the ethereal soldiers. They were World Maker's members.

Around them, the four other Liguritudum man-of-war formed a barricade around the two flagships. They fired their cannons at those who tried to approach. At the same time, their crews also jumped aboard the Palgrost's flagships. The dwarven soldiers on board were having difficulty battling the ever-increasing enemy soldiers.

"Get off my ship, you filthy mouthless scums…!!" Thelgrun roared. He lunged at the nearest ethereal soldier who was clashing with his soldiers. Mamunir followed close to him.

The other ethereal soldiers, who saw the president showing himself, immediately rushed over to get to him. Helga cast Flame Wrath at those ethereal soldiers. Multiple tracking fireballs flew forward and rammed into the ethereal soldiers who tried to gang up on Thelgrun.

"I'm your opponent, Palgrost Admiral…!" Kaghast dashed forward. He used battle monk's infinite lightning punches with his katars. The two katars produced uncountable images that stabbed toward Helga.

Helga was prepared. She immediately cast another spell after unleashing flame wrath. A wall of fire appeared before him. Kaghast's lightning punches failed to penetrate the wall of fire. He received damage instead.

Helga followed up by casting a Fireball spell, but Kaghast disappeared when the fireball was about to hit him.

"Behind you!" Viking warned Helga. He and Masta Chef were fighting against Gridhacker, Graphicz, and Soundeffect, but he still paid attention to his surroundings.

Helga wasn't an amateur. She already expected Kaghast to deliver an assault once he vanished. She cast Elementalist's flame shield. A fiery aura covered her body, increasing her defenses as well as dealing fire damage to anyone who came into her melee range.

She felt a sharp pain in her back then. Kaghast used Assassin's phase strike to shift to her back before delivering a backstab.
