Chapter 171: Navy Ambush
ZZNGH! Waves of King's Mantra erupted from the sea, spiraling across the battlefield, shattering Morgan's control over Orimo again and again.
The tide of war teetered precariously. Orimo's eyes flared red, his body trembling with renewed will, ready to reclaim the fight.
Orimo felt his strength ebbing.
"I… can't move freely… can't use my powers," he murmured, staggering back.
Swish! Swish! Swish! Three deadly slashes carved into his chest, blood gushing, his body collapsing to his knees. Unconscious, he crumpled under the weight of the battlefield.
ZZNGH! Once more, King's Mantra erupted from the sea, sweeping across the field, freeing another 3,000 soldiers from Morgan's control.
"What… is happening?" Morgan murmured, fury and confusion twisting his features.
The battle shifted. Now, 6,000 rebels faced 12,000 of Morgan's forces.
From the shore, the Ember Pirates' ship slid silently across the waves. Their captain, Dravon Solmere, leapt from the deck onto the island with the precision of a predator.
"I don't think my mantra did much," he said calmly, eyes scanning the chaos.
Above him, on the jagged cliffs, Ashveil Kenny stared down at Dravon. The tension crackled between them.
"Get out of my way," Dravon said, his voice cold.
"I should be telling you that," Kenny replied, lips curling into a dangerous grin.
{In the battlefield}
From the sky, a shadow fell — Seraph Admiral Zeiron Vale landed with a heavy thud, sending shockwaves across the battlefield.
"Run!" civilians screamed, panic rippling through the ranks. "It's a navy ambush!"
The battlefield erupted in chaos once again — waves of steel, fire, and Mantra colliding, as the fight escalated into a clash that would decide the fate of Emka.
