Capítulo 136: Coming Of Age (7) : Roaring Flames
It wasn't a bad victory, at least I managed to take down a whole longboat with its crew down and lessen the burden on the main ship.
"Senior!" Alina shouted and pointed somewhere.
I followed what she pointed at and my face crumbled. I was planning on taking out one longboat, why are the other two coming to this direction?
"Jon, your orders?" Jull asked.
"Orders my ass! Abandon ship!" I said as I conjured two Flame Atronach Hawks.
Alina and Jullanar jumped on the one close to them and I jumped on mine.
The idea of escaping was not that appealing especially when two beauties are around, but I wasn't really in the mood to fight more than that. I was tired.
"Senior, shall we join them on the other longboat?"
"Where is it?"
"There!" Alina pointed at another direction.
The longboat where Hafthor and the rest where was engaging in a fight with a new Bloodsail longboat that popped out of nowhere.
Their situation was not bad.
"How many of the Bloodsails in this area?" I asked and rose higher in the sky, I wanted to have a better look.
"Japhet's Folly Isle is not far from here. It is the main base of the Blood Horkers and the Bloodsails must have prepared a big force there." Alina seemed very knowledgeable about the situation of Hidden Clans. Asking her to take part in the establishing of the 'Dare Dragon Group' was indeed a good idea.
Anyway, I started counting the longboats that entered the fight now, they were a total of seven. The Bloodsails sure have invested a lot to take us down, and by this rate, the main ship and Hafthor's longboat will be in danger.
I have used a lot of Magicka and to use a trick like turning the Flame Atronach Hawks into the 'Meteor' spell, it needs a lot of preparation.
Luckily, there was still a solution.
"We are not participating now, let's regain our strength first and join them later." I said.
"But by that rate, they would be surrounded by enemies from every direction." Jullanar was worried.
"It won't pose a threat now. The Firemanes faced worse situations before." Alina said.
I also noticed that they are handling the situation very well. The teamwork of the Firemanes is the best I have seen so far, they really understand coordination and tactics really well.
I at least managed to get rid of one longboat and lessened their burden by drawing another two away. Now, the Bloodsails will have to deal with the strong force in the main ship and Hafthor's fast longboat that is raging around.
Still, the thing I am waiting for is not here ye...
*Booooooo*
A horn blowing echoed around the sea, its enchantment made the sound reach far and wide.
"They are here!" I couldn't hide my excitement anymore.
Alina and Jullanar looked at the source of the sound opened their eyes wide. I didn't tell anyone that this will be here.
"Jon, did you call Ongeim?" Jullanar didn't see that one coming.
I laughed and nodded.
"The flagship of the Dare Dragon Company! The new improvements, are they finished?" Alina was keeping up with the details as a member of the Creation Club. And yes, that is my Gunship.
"Yes, Yisra has been working on them for days." I said.
I commanded the Flame Atronach Hawks to fly to the ship.
As I approached, the sailors became nervous but Ongeim was there waving for us to land.
We landed on the back of the ship and got surrounded by a lot of people. Ongeim, Yisra, Mahran, Morbagog, and Eliel.
"it's good to see you guys!"
"Boss! What do you think of the new weapons?" Ongeim was all smiles and started pointing left and right.
"What are you so proud of? President, there is a major problem." Yisra said. "The power source is too hard to deal with. Just for the firing test, we used two fully Grand Soul Gems. I don't know how rich you are, but I don't use all those resources."
"Indeed! To get rid of these ships, we at least need five Grand Soul Gems." Ongeim said.
"How much did you bring?" I asked.
"We have eight."
Hmmm! This will indeed be a problem. According to my calculations, each Grand Soul Gem contains 3000 MP. Three times the MP I myself has.
"President, how is the new power source project you promised us with?" Eliel asked.
"No progress, I am sorry! But after I get done with what I have in hand, I'll get to Windhelm and try to finish up with it." I said. "Now, everyone! Get ready for battle!"
***
As soon as I said that, everyone became serious. This is the first time for us to try this ship in battle.
The ship has its usual two firing platforms on that used to fire Fireballs in the past. Now, and after I paid Yisra a chunk of money, these babies shoot 'Fire Missiles'. Yisra worked on that spell to make it as fast as the 'Fire Bolt' and as destructive as an overcharged 'Fireball'. It turned out really well as a long ranged weapon.
The new improvement we added were the 'Magical Flame Throwers'. Something out of a fantasy if I say so myself. Four of them were built to shoot the nasty spreading version of the good old 'Flames' spell. This is the close range weapon if the ship that got placed as two on each side.
There was one more weapon but it wasn't ready yet and it is something that will be hard to produce anyway.
"Now, for the blood boiling moment. Ongeim! Did you bring the thing?"
"Yes, Boss! Hahaha, I am excited."
He was shaking from excitement, and truthfully, me too.
I nodded to him and he waved to the sailor on the crow nest, the highest point of the ship.
The sailor took a knife between his teeth and climbed the sail, once he reached the flag's place, he took the knife and cut a rope then came down.
A second later, the ship's flag got spread and fluttered with the wind.
I couldn't hide my grin!
"This looks great!" Alina said.
Jullanar was looking at the flag with a bright smile too.
This flag is our flag after all, the 'Dragon Dare Flag'! The black flag with a red dragon skull on a red crescent.
[A/N: https://ibb.co/hMS9YA ... it's not perfect yet because I have never used PS before, too many options.]
This is officially the first time our flag goes to battle, I hope it brings us victory.
"Boss! We haven't named the ship yet! This will be its second battle." Ongeim said.
It's indeed a major issue. Unnamed ships bring bad luck. I started brainstorming it with the people around until we arrived at a name.
The ship was called the 'Roaring Flames'.
While she was advancing halfway through the area, the 'Roaring Flames' was spotted by all the ships and the longboats in the area.
We stood on the rear deck and observed how things work out.
"Ongeim! The horn one more time."
"Yes, Boss! THE HORN!"
*BOOOOOOO*
It was a thundering sound akin to the roar of an ancient beast, those with weak hearts will fall to their knees from hearing.
"Enemy spotted, Captain!"
"Let it get closer!"
The two longboats that tried to corner me in a while ago seemed to have finished up the undead I left behind and were having some funny thoughts like getting into the 'Roaring Flames'.
The ship slightly turned to the right and continued sailing but the two longboats moved after her.
It was now that we made our move.
"Fire!"
The cannons on the firing platform made a sound of casting a big spell then two missiles of flame got shot towards the first ship.
*Boom*
In a second, they landed on one ship and a grand explosion appeared.
Impressive!
I was astonished from what we created. Every sailor was looking at the result of the cannons with wide eyes.
After the flames cleared out, only a few signs of the longboat were seen. Burning pieces of wood here and there and some corpses.
"Once again!" I shouted to wake the men up from there disbelieving moment.
The sailors started running back to their positions and the cannons were aimed at the next longboat.
"Fire!"
Another two rounds got fired at the longboat.
The longboat recognized the danger it was in as it has seen the previous one gets blown up to Oblivion.
The Fire Missiles didn't land perfectly due to the maneuver that longboat made this time. A Fire Missile landed on the rear tip of the longboat and the other one missed it by a few meters.
The damage was not bad as the rear half of the longboat was blown away and the front only remained with few survivors hanging to life with threads.
The 'Roaring Flames' turned and approached the broken down ship. Once we were just beside it, the 'Magical Flame Throwers' opened fire and two dragon breath like streams of flame hailed down burning everything to nothingness.
The result was even more brutal this time, no trace was left.
The world felt so silent after two longboats were taken down that fast, I am sure the other longboats have seen it all by now.
"Good job men! Catch wind and sail to the north-west. This is not over yet." My words were absolute on this ship, everything was happening as long as I say the word.
Now, three down, six more to go.
