Boom boom boom——

Lu Ban knocked on the door gently and soon received a response from the maid.

"Come in."

He opened the door and walked into Amber's room.

Compared with other rooms on the ship, this one is obviously more luxurious, with satin curtains, quilts, various metal utensils, and even a painting of flowers and birds. The room does not have the damp and moldy smell unique to the ship, but instead has a slight scent of incense, which makes people calm down.

Amber's maid is a girl of similar age to her, but her emotions are more open and she has a bit of arrogance.

As for Amber herself, she was kneeling in the bed in a shrine maiden's costume, her eyes closed, meditating.

"Miko-sama, we are being attacked from both sides, and there is also a heavy rain that may be caused by the spell. The captain asked me to ask for your help."

Lu Ban stated his demands for the time being.

Since this thunderstorm was created by the priestess, then Amber, who is also a priestess, should be able to stop it.

If Amber can't even deal with this, then her title of genius is not very worthy.

"I see."

Amber's eyes, which had been closed, finally opened at this moment.

Deep in his amber eyes, Lu Ban saw flames flickering.

She got out of bed, walked to the window in her wooden clogs and opened it.

Bang——

The violent wind brought raindrops into the room, soaking Amber's hair and clothes.

But the fire in her eyes seemed to burn even more vigorously.

Lu Ban heard Amber mumbling something. The sound was like the evil god's mumbling that Lu Ban had heard countless times, making him irritated, giving him a headache, and driving him crazy.

The maid beside her covered her ears, stood a little further away, and frowned.

The next moment, just when Lu Ban had not yet begun to doubt the power of amber, a ray of light fell from the dark clouds.

The dense dark clouds were pushed aside by the light. Lu Ban looked up and could see the clear sky and stars above the light.

The light enveloped the two ships, and wherever the light reached, the originally boiling and turbulent sea water became calm.

The light quickly spread out, reaching toward the surrounding seas. The sky seemed to be pierced with a hole and torn apart by fingers. The violence and irritability were replaced by a peaceful and calm atmosphere, just like a noisy baby being soothed by his mother's lullaby.

Amber's voice became louder.

The layers of mumbling made the maid choose to leave the room directly, and Lu Ban listened to them. He could not understand them, but a certain artistic conception of these words was still conveyed to him.

As if communicating.

According to what Hongye had told Riku Kan before, Kazushima's supernatural powers are composed of techniques and words.

A ritual is a spell, which is a space constructed in a certain way as well as the domination and control of the space.

The spirit of words is a binding oath, an oath and agreement made with others using language.

At this moment, the amber is probably communicating with the ocean.

Lu Ban could feel the tremors coming from the depths of the ocean, and the sky became calm because of Amber's language.

He looked out the window, and in the drifting wind and rain, several bright lights flashed on the warship opposite.

"Bombard!"

The next moment, several explosions sounded around the fleet.

…

"How is this possible?"

Inside the captain's room of the flagship, the captain from Hedao had an expression of disbelief on his face.

"This is a storm created by the joint efforts of at least twenty quasi-witch-level nobles. How could she resist it alone?"

The captain found this utterly incredible.

He even began to waver.

Is it really correct for me to attack this candidate for the chief priestess now?

Under such great power, should I really fire my artillery fire?

But someone nearby pushed the captain away.

"Calibrate the cannon and prepare for test firing."

Lei Ting commanded that, with the secret order from the one in power, he and his companions now had the highest authority exceeding that of the captain and could command the entire fleet.

The first mate did not dare to disobey the order. In his eyes, these two men were guys wrapped in bandages and behaving strangely, but they were powerful and had great authority, and no one could disobey them.

The guns at the bow quickly fired, landing near the two ships, but not far enough.

"Full speed ahead, all guns ready, prepare for the second round of firing."

Lei Ting commanded again.

"The other party has only mastered a little bit of magic, so there is nothing to be afraid of."

In order to calm people's hearts, Lei Ting added a sentence.

Even though everyone already knew that the target they were going to attack was a competitor of the chief priestess, this verbal title was still an excuse many people used to deceive themselves.

The fleet rode the wind and waves, and the second round of bombardment was soon ready.

The three warships approached broadside, revealing twenty-three side-spinning guns on one side. Under the dense barrage of more than sixty rounds of artillery fire, even though the accuracy of these guns was not even as good as that of a seventy-year-old man, they could still hit a few targets.

The four warships on the other side also approached the fleet, and they were also ready for battle.

Two against seven is a numerical disadvantage that should absolutely be avoided in naval battles of this era.

"Fire at will."

Lei Ting ordered.

Along with the roar of artillery, countless black ammunition burst out from the side and fell towards the large ship flying the Sakurajima flag in a graceful parabola.

At the same time, the two ships, one large and one small, also launched artillery fire.

After a brief silence, the sound of an explosion, surpassing the roar of thunder, rang out on the sea.

Boom boom boom boom——

Many shells fell into the sea and exploded in shallow water, raising high splashes of water.

Some of the shells also hit the ships.

The wooden hull was penetrated by the huge impact force, and then an explosion occurred, accompanied by wood chips and people's screams, blood and broken limbs spilled into the sea.

Lei Ting saw that at least ten shells hit the enemy's flagship. Such damage was not enough to sink it, but the range of the sunlight was expanding. He did not want to fight face to face with the opponent's Chosen One, and only hoped to solve it behind the scenes through war.

Suddenly, Lei Ting discovered that there seemed to be a problem with the friendly ship next to him.

A dark figure jumped out of the water and into the hull.

Then, explosions broke out from the ship. The ammunition exploding near the artillery that had not yet been fired caused a chain reaction, accompanied by screams and wails. In just two rounds of shelling, the ship was engulfed in flames.

"Is it the Chosen One?"

Lei Ting felt alert.

"I'll go and take a look."

At the side, Flash, who finally couldn't hold back any longer, was about to go over to check the situation, but Lei Ting pointed at the flagship, which had been hit by several shells and whose main mast was shaking.

"No, you go directly to the ship and make sure to kill the witch."

For the Thunder, other chosen ones are not important. As long as they can complete the mission here first, they can choose to return.

As for the others, it doesn't matter.

"no problem."

Flash chuckled, then turned into a puff of smoke and flew out the window.
