nF***!
nWhat do they do now?
nEveryone felt a wave of fear slowly inched its way into their hearts.
nAnd coupled with the darkness all around them, they felt genuinely helpless.
nWhether it was day or night, the hallways always remained dark unless one moved with a flaming torch by them.
nOf course, there were always unlit touches against the walls that typically got lit once in a while.
nBut since the entire ship was made of wood, no one played like that.
nIf the ship burned, they all drowned. That's why torches were only lit when need be.
nPlus, the eye patches help them adjust from day to night when they move in and out, back and forth the deck.
nBe it pirates or even merchants, they all covered one eye with a black scarf or eye patch from time to time.
nThis way, the light and changes don't just blind them all at once... Especially when running out to face an enemy.
nSoon, it wasn't long until they heard loud footsteps calmly walking down.
nMommy?
n.
nEveryone tightened their grip on their swords while waiting for the enemy to show up.
nThere was no greater fear than knowing you're going to die but feeling helpless and weak with no way to stop it.
nThere was no way to be completely silent on these sorts of floors.
nIt creaked too damn loud.
nEven the walls creaked when one touched them.
nYara took in a large whiff of air and slowly breathed out before gesturing for a few marines to step closer.
nIt was completely dark now, so the enemies shouldn't be able to see them.
nNonetheless, in a wave of panic, the enemies night try shooting their swords or weapons towards them in fright.
nSo the first thing they needed to do was momentarily affect their enemies.
nPreviously when fighting in that tiny room, the enemies didn't even have time or the chance to do so.
nBut now, along this long hallway, it shouldn't be a stretch for them.
nBecause the dragias felt as if their ears were about to explode, before finally getting deaf momentarily.
nNot to talk of the fact that they were rendered blind and confused while feeling a loss of combination and balance, wobbling around with no thoughts in their minds.
nHonestly, they forgot what it was they were doing and briefly took on the role of mindless zombies.
nGood.
nWithout wasting any time, Yara and her team swooped in, shooting them down in the head.
n.
n~Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!~~
nPlop.
nIt didn't take long for the entire hallway to be swept clean.
nWasn't that the sound of thunder coming from the hallway?
nThe scariest thing was that even though they heard people drop to the ground, they didn't hear the screams.
nSo what happened?
nOf course within some of the rooms, people didn't waste any time bursting through the floor and jumping down onto the floors below.
nSome created holes on the walls, making windows.
nWith the formation very tight.
nThey tried their best to jump onto the next sh.i.p.s and stab their daggers into the wooden walls, hoping to climb up onto the decks and flee.
nNow, everyone wanted to dash towards the sh.i.p.s at the central regions of the formation.
nSome even wanted to get aboard the sh.i.p.s belonging to the Primates.
nEach cabin or room had people thinking in their own ways.
nOkay?...
nYara didn't know how to feel seeing this.
nWere they so scary?
nJust surrendering will keep these people alive.
nSo why go through all this?
nShe even saw someone who had accidentally fallen into the water below.
nSigh...
n.
nThey ended swiftly killing all enemies on the sh.i.p.s, with none willing to surrender... Especially when they realized that it was a woman who was leading the group.
nSome felt that it was too humiliating and demeaning.
nSo they preferred death.
nYara quickly contacted Ruby and her rescue team, who were now waiting on the deck.
nAnd just like that, they broke the chained slaves, found a few enemies amongst them and took them out too.
nYara and her team just cleared the first floor below the deck and left Ruby's team to deal with the other floors and free the prisoners.
nFrom there, Yara and her gang jumped onto the next ship, ready for action yet again.
nThe heavy machine guns on the battlesh.i.p.s stopped firing, and now, many of the Navy officers stayed aboard the battlesh.i.p.s assisting the slaves and ensuring that the enemy remained trapped.
nAt the same time, other Marine Companies still aboard the towering battlesh.i.p.s acted as snipers, as they did their best to take down those on the 3rd and 4th inner lines of defence.
n~Peeup! Peeup! Peeup! ~
nThe enemies within these inner lines started dropping to the ground silently, confusing the other dragias when they saw no arrows on the fallen.
nSoon, a few realized the matter and almost peed themselves.
nWasn't this too supernatural?
n
"Run! Run! They have sorcerers with them!
"
n
"Run! They have mysterious beasts with them!
"
n
"Everyone, head below deck! These creatures can only kill us if we are under the sun!
"
n
"Screw this! I'm heading towards the center for protection!
"
n
"Yes! If we stay close to the Primates, then we should be safe! They are the most blessed people amongst us. So Dragmus will descend and create a miracle once we stay with them!
"
n(°∆°)
n...
nThe entire place went crazy, as some either ran towards the lower decks or continuously leaped towards the 8th inner line, which was the center.
nJimosen and Linvor looked at the scene before them in a daze.
nWhy?
nWhy was this happening?
nWere they going to stay here and await death?
nNo!
nThey had to come up with something, and fast!
