After seeing this scene, the temporary commander couldn't help but be startled, and the uneasy feeling in his heart became stronger.
"Again? Do they have the spirituality to create such a large-scale sea fog? There are extraordinary people of the 䲾 class involved, and there may be more than one!"
Facing the thick fog that was rising again, the temporary commander thought seriously in his heart. After confirming that the other side had a Cerulean-level extraordinary person, his heart sank suddenly.
He knew very clearly that there was not a single extraordinary person of the Cetacean level on his fleet. If the other side really had multiple Cetacean-level water masters, then the situation on his side would become extremely serious.
"Are there any more wind-calling talismans?"
"Without you, all the talismans and storage items have been used up. There are only five left."
The temporary commander asked the sailor beside him, and the other party answered somewhat helplessly. After listening to the sailor's words, the temporary commander couldn't help but pause. He looked at the increasingly thick sea fog on the sea and his expression became more and more solemn.
"Since those guys are water magicians who can create sea fog, they may be hiding in the sea and notifying the Stone Steps and the Carved Tomb to release depth charges!"
The temporary commander gave the order, and soon his order was passed on to the two destroyers at the rear of the fleet. The sailors immediately moved to the stern and threw cylindrical depth charges into the sea. Then, huge water splashes were blown up on the sea surface where the fleet was passing.
Along with the explosion of explosives in the sea, a not-too-loud buzzing sound continued to ring out. However, the fog around did not weaken with the sound of the explosion, but became stronger and stronger. Seeing this scene, everyone knew that the depth charge would not have much impact on the diving Canglang Singer.
"Depth charges...are mostly used to fight large sea beasts, and are not very useful against water magic that can lurk close to the side of the ship...The bomb exploded too far away from them, and it can't hurt them...
"Damn it! If Joad had come here first, he could at least have used the boiling pot to teach those guys a lesson!"
Seeing that the depth charges were of no use against the fog, the temporary commander gritted his teeth and said that without the presence of a commander, many key functions of the escort fleet could not be enabled, which put them in a great passive position.
The enemy might be lurking underwater, but the people on the fleet had no effective countermeasures. They could only watch as the fog around them became thicker and thicker, visibility became lower and lower, and they could no longer even see the lights of the companion ships in the distance.
Faced with the growing fog, the temporary commander had no choice but to order the warships of the fleet to activate the dazzling lights that consumed spiritual energy to illuminate, and use the light that was countless times stronger than ordinary gas lamps to penetrate the thick sea fog. In this thick fog, the only thing the sailors on the warships could see outside the ship was the dim lights of the friendly ships nearby. Thanks to these dazzling lights, they would not be unable to confirm and communicate with each other, and would not have to fight alone in this thick fog.
The fleet continued to sail in the thick sea fog. Faced with the strange fog, all the sailors couldn't help but be nervous and alert all around, fearing that the enemy would suddenly emerge from somewhere in the thick fog to launch a sneak attack. In their opinion, the enemy created such a large sea fog and must want to launch a surprise attack, so they gathered together with weapons in hand and alerted in all directions.
The temporary commander, like the sailors, held his weapons and was on guard against enemies that might emerge from anywhere at any time. However, as time passed, no enemy appeared and there was silence in the sea fog.
There was no surprise attack, no destruction. Although the thick sea fog obscured everything, no single attack or battle took place in the fog. Although everyone was highly alert to the thick fog around them, the fog did not pose any danger other than blocking their vision. If it were not for Hui Jiandeng's reminder, they would have almost mistaken it for ordinary sea fog.
Just like this, time passed by minute by minute, and just when everyone was beginning to feel a little confused about this, the fog actually began to gradually fade away.
It was visible to the naked eye that the originally thick sea fog quickly thinned out, and within just a few minutes, the fog that enveloped the entire fleet disappeared completely. The sailors could see the normal lights on friendly ships in the distance again, as if the previous fog had never appeared. Faced with this situation, everyone couldn't help but feel surprised.
"What's going on? Why did the fog just dissipate like that? Didn't those guys do something with the fog?"
Faced with this situation, the temporary commander murmured in confusion, and then he began to focus his attention on the friendly forces and other ships in the darkness. He needed to confirm their losses.
After he confirmed this, he froze in place.
The entire fleet was made up of nine different ships in total, so the temporary commander could see eight lights on the dark sea when he looked out from his own ship, but now, he could only see five.
Of the nine ships in the fleet, three were missing in the thick fog. The missing ships were the three passenger ships without flares installed, and the pilgrims that the escorts were supposed to protect were missing.
The three passenger ships that the pilgrims were on disappeared inexplicably in the thick fog, and all that was left was the almost intact escort fleet.
This time the escort mission was a complete failure.
…
At this moment, far away from the church fleet, three passenger ships were lined up and continued to sail on the sea. Driven by a strange ocean current, the three ships had escaped from the fog long ago and sailed all the way here.
At this time, the sailors on the deck of the passenger ship who could not find the escort ship also fell into chaos. They looked around, trying to find the trace of the scattered fleet. Suddenly, a column of water sprayed out from the sea, and this column of water fell on the deck of the passenger ship, bringing not only seawater, but also a figure, a naked male figure.
A muscular man in his thirties, covered in sea water, with messy hair and bare upper body, slowly stood up under the vigilant gaze of the sailors, and then spoke in a steady voice.
"From now on, we will take over these three ships. Warriors of the Glorious Light, don't resist. We don't intend to hurt anyone right now. As long as you cooperate with us, everyone can live in peace."
