In a sea area south of the Pearl Islands, a sea clan fleet slightly smaller than Trina's fleet was breaking through the waves.
This was one of the two fleets that Arsino had organized to capture the ghost fleet. The two fleets were led by Arsino and his cousin Zuniga. Although the combat effectiveness of each fleet was slightly inferior to Trina's fleet, their combined combat effectiveness was much greater than hers. Because the ghost fleet's whereabouts were erratic and its speed was very fast, although Arsino could sense the general location of the ghost fleet, it used the terrain and climate to escape several times in a row.
So Arsino split his fleet into two two days ago, preparing to block the ghost fleet in a place called Solshi Strait. Coincidentally, the Shining Shell, a sacred artifact, is made up of two halves of the shell, which can be split into two halves. Arsino gave one of the halves to Zuniga, so that they each carried one halves, and even if they ran into the ghost fleet alone, they would still be able to fight.
Arsino was also a great magician of the mermaid tribe. He looked a little older than Trina. According to human standards, his right face was handsome and resolute, but his left face was a little creepy. There were several thick scars from his forehead to his left cheek, his eyebrows were twisted like snakes, his eyes had disappeared, and his eyelids were glued together, completely destroying the beauty of this face.
If it were a human, they might use a mask to cover half of their face, but the sea people regard this scar as a glory.
This was a scar from his early years fighting against human armies. In that battle with the southern city-state, he lost his father and was seriously injured. Therefore, among the many tribal leaders of the sea tribe, he hated humans the most. When he fought against the southern city-state, he never took prisoners.
Asino sat in his room. On the table in front of him was a conch and a compass. He placed one hand on the conch, which was emitting magical fluorescence. This conch was called the Ghost Conch, which came from the darkest place on the seabed and had the function of connecting souls. Now Asino was using it to track the two sea creatures' souls in the ghost ship. He used his sense of the souls and compared the direction on the compass to find the direction of the ghost ship.
There was also a Naga guard with six swords on his back beside him, who kept telling the captain the location he reported, allowing the captain to adjust the direction to chase the ghost fleet.
"Signal the ships behind us. We are about to catch up with the ghost ship. Let all the ships speed up to the maximum." Asino raised his head and said, "The Mother Sea really favors us sea people. The storm in the east has forced them into a dead end, and there are many reefs in the west. We have finally blocked them in the Thorshi Strait."
"Yes, Lord Asino." The Naga guard twisted his snake body and swam out of the room quickly.
Asino cast a levitation spell on himself and came to the deck. From here, he could already see the land on both sides of the strait on the horizon.
The Solshi Strait is a narrow sea between two large islands that are very close to each other. Unlike the ships of the Sea Clan, which are driven by a large number of Scale Clan slaves and can easily change direction, the ghost ship naturally slows down when it reaches the mouth of the strait. Therefore, under this terrain advantage, it is inevitable that Asino will catch up with the ghost ship. Moreover, on the other side of the strait, Suniga has already rushed to the exit of the strait, and the ghost ship has nowhere to escape.
Asino could already vaguely see the sterns of the two ghost ships from the deck. He was somewhat proud of himself, for this was the result of a month of tracking, using bait and driving, constantly changing the opponent's route, and driving them to such a deadly place.
"Lord Asino, the order has been passed down." The Naga guard reported.
Asino turned his head and looked behind him. All the warships had filled their sails and sped up to catch up.
Half an hour later, the ghost ship appeared at the entrance of the strait, and Asino could clearly see the numerous figures on the ships ahead.
"What a weird thing." He frowned. There were more than ten ghost ships in total, two of which seemed to be human-style ships, and the rest were sea-style. There were sailors on each ship operating the rudder and controlling the sails, but these people were translucent. Their images were no different from their appearance in life, but they gave people a feeling of lack of real existence.
"Sir, what's going on with these humans and sea creatures?" asked Asino's guard.
"The soul has been materialized. I really don't know how the Ghost Queen did it." Arsino murmured.
The ghosts seemed to ignore his fleet. No one was panicked or afraid. All the ghosts just kept doing their own things, as if they couldn't see the enemy.
Asino took out the shining shell, ready to activate the power of this holy weapon when the ship got closer.
At this time, the ghosts on the ship in front of them took action. They looked up at Asino's fleet at the same time, and then some of them took steps to "walk" towards the fleet of the sea clan. They did not stop even when they reached the edge of the deck, and continued to move towards Asino by stepping on the air. The sight of more than a hundred ghosts walking in the air really scared many of the sea clan warriors. None of them had ever fought a ghost ship before, and the strange scene of the other party's attack was beyond their imagination. The speed of Asino's fleet slowed down a bit unconsciously.
Arsino said to the captain of the flagship: "Don't be afraid, they are just some unconscious souls. When they come closer, I will destroy them with the holy weapon."
Those souls were like drifting catkins, swaying and approaching. The speed did not seem fast, but in the blink of an eye they were close enough to see their faces clearly. Asino and his soldiers saw the expressions of these souls. Each one was frozen and distorted, as if they had seen something extremely terrifying before they died, and their faces were frozen at that moment.
These people either had their mouths open, their eyes bulging, or their heads and necks twisted into unnatural positions.
When Asino saw these strange faces, his heart skipped a beat, and his subordinates began to talk about the terrifying appearance of these ghosts, and there was a commotion everywhere on the ship.
Asino took a deep breath, raised the Shining Shell in his hand, and prepared to use his mental power to inject it into the half of the shell to make the ghosts disappear, but he didn't expect that the ghosts suddenly put their hands around their mouths and screamed in unison. (To be continued)
