Chapter 1544: We will meet again soon (extra chapters for 500 cumulative monthly votes)
Facts have proved that the previous decision was correct. Harald in the Vajra Realm, combined with two fighters at the Hundred Refining Realm level, although in terms of individual combat power, even if Harald in the Vajra Realm is brought out, Hans is still better.
But they were no match for the three of them who were not afraid of death. Hans, who was facing the undead unit for the first time, obviously lacked understanding of the undead.
After a while, I really fell into a disadvantage.
In fact, a large number of skeleton soldiers were deployed in the cabin of this ironclad ship.
Bai Tu originally thought that if the three of them couldn't do anything to Hans, then he would have no choice but to release the skeleton soldiers.
Given the combat effectiveness of the skeleton soldiers, it is of course impossible for them to stop a strong man at the Vajra Realm level, but as long as there are enough skeleton soldiers, relying on the sea of soldiers tactics, they can inflict some consumption on Hans.
Consume a few more rounds of attacks from the enemy, then let Harald and the other three besiege Hans and that'll be the end of it.
But now...
Bai Tu felt that he could now think about the question of whether to live or die.
If a living Vajra Realm warrior is willing to surrender, it is undoubtedly more valuable than being dead.
But on the other hand, there are also huge risks.
Although they have Harald now, if the opponent suddenly attacks Hans while they are capturing him alive, Harald will most likely not be able to control him. The distance is even too close for Bolevin to use the mantra in time.
[The risk of catching them alive is too great, it is better to let them die and transform into the undead. 】
Without much hesitation, Bai Tu directly sentenced Hans to death in his heart.
Even though the other party's youngest son had just pledged allegiance to their Great Zhou and swore submission a while ago, if Hans was transformed into an undead, some problems might arise on Charlie's side.
But Bai Tu didn't care too much. To be honest, even if ten or even a hundred Charlies were stacked together, his value might not be as high as Hans who was transformed into the undead.
Under this premise, if Charlie is loyal to their Great Zhou, he may have to think more about it and not hurt the hearts of the loyal ministers of the Great Zhou.
But unfortunately, when Charlie was talking with Hans before, Bai Tu had actually been paying attention to Charlie's loyalty.
Perhaps he was mentally prepared for his father's words, and they did not bring much impact to his loyalty. Charlie's loyalty was only 68 points now.
Compared with before, there has indeed been some improvement, but it is still a fence-sitter.
He might be promoted in the future, but Charlie now is not worth Bai Tu's consideration.
"Keep an eye on the battle on the deck. If anything happens, report to me immediately."
After giving this order, Bai Tu turned around and gave instructions to another personal soldier.
"Order the aerial reconnaissance team to search the sea for traces of the Saint Realm Mage on the other side!"
After saying that, Bai Tu turned his attention back to the naval battle in front of him.
The battle on the deck only occupied a small part of the naval battle at hand. With Harald and his men holding him back, Hans basically had no ability to change the situation.
The focus now is on the fleets of both sides and the whereabouts of the saintly wizard on the opposite side.
"Your Excellency the Bishop, is the Saintly Mage across from us still absorbing natural energy?"
"No."
At this moment, Bo Levin, who was absorbing natural energy in the corner of the command room, quickly gave a reply.
After getting this answer, Bai Tu immediately understood what was going on and immediately devoted more energy to commanding the fleet's operations.
The two large warships on the opposite side faced the ironclad ship No. 001. They could neither defeat them nor ram them, and were soon sunk one after another.
During this process, the clipper fleets of both sides have formed the largest battle area in this sea area.
Artillery weapons do have certain advantages when attacking wooden warships, but that’s all.
Without taking into account steam ironclad ships and aerial bombing forces, it was unrealistic for them to gain the upper hand in a short period of time as they had fewer warships than their opponents.
Compared with the overwhelming performance of the ironclad ship No. 001, on the main battlefield, the battle between the two fleets was extremely fierce. At a glance, it was really difficult to tell which side had the upper hand.
However, this situation will no longer continue.
After quickly dealing with the three large warships that lagged behind, the No. 001 ironclad ship entered the battlefield directly as the fleet's big C.
As soon as they came up, thirty-two guns fired alternately, sinking two Patton clippers in a short period of time. Just after entering the battlefield, the terrifying dominance unique to steam ironclad ships had already spread across the battlefield in this sea area.
How could they come here to fight? They came here to reap the harvest! The Patton fleet's speedboats were sunk one after another, and the balance of victory quickly tilted towards the Great Zhou with its steam ironclad warships.
At the same time, Hans, holding a sword in hand, fought against three people on the deck of the ironclad ship No. 001, but was powerless to turn the tide.
He wanted to concentrate on fighting the three skeletons in front of him, but the battle situation around him kept drawing his attention, forcing him to pay attention.
The pressure from the war situation had made Hans lose the high spirits he had when he first led Patton's fleet to the battle.
In the process of the almost crazy fight, with the continuous consumption of fighting spirit and physical strength in his body, the feeling of powerlessness that gradually became more and more intense was about to overwhelm him.
"Harald, it's not too late to turn back! No matter what you become, as long as we are here, you will still have a place in the Barton Empire!"
In the current situation, Hans believes that there is only one way to reverse the situation, and that is to persuade Harald in front of him to defect.
But his method was doomed to fail.
Harald, who had already faced the reality the moment he was transformed into the undead, didn't even bother to pay attention to him and swung the sword in his hand even more fiercely.
Affected by the war situation at sea, Hans's energy had been distracted and he had been consumed crazily. He was now covered in blood and was completely at a disadvantage.
At this moment, Hans had realized that if he continued fighting, he might lose his life here.
He wanted to leave, but he was on the sea now. The deck of the No. 001 ironclad ship was like an isolated island on the sea. He had nowhere to escape! A Hundred Refining Realm Skeleton nearby saw the opportunity and pounced on him again.
Hans gritted his teeth and responded, quickly resolving the opponent's attack. However, the Hundred Refinements Realm Skeleton had no intention of retreating. Instead, it rushed towards Hans regardless!
This pounce not only directly blocked Hans's vision, but also restricted Hans's movements to a great extent.
If it were his previous heyday, he would still be able to cope with it, but now Hans was seriously injured and seemed to be at the end of his strength.
Without even a moment's hesitation, a flash of cold light flashed between the ribs of the Hundred Refining Realm Skeleton! The next second, there was a dull thud of a sharp blade piercing into flesh and blood, and with the splash of blood, the enchanted sword in Harald's hand went straight through the skeleton of the Hundred Refining Realm Skeleton and sank into Hans' chest! "Harald!"
Even though he had already realized his own fate, at this moment, Hans could not hide his grief and unwillingness on his face.
He never dreamed that he would end up dying at the hands of his former right-hand man! In contrast, two blue soul fires burned quietly in Harald's eyes.
"Don't worry, we'll see each other again soon."
