The Kaldorei seemed to sense the aura of death; everyone held their breath, fearing to disturb this terrifying existence.
Just then, a colossal ship, even larger than a battleship, emerged from the sea. Shrouded in mist, it resembled something from the Netherworld, and where it passed, a biting cold wind blew.
"nagelfar!"
A Mage exclaimed, "This is the Vrykul's death ship, Helya's mount."
"Is that woman Helya?"
The Kaldorei were puzzled, but Helya looked even larger than the nagelfar!
The nagelfar slowly approached, first revealing its gigantic figurehead—a terrifying Proto-Dragon skull, as if ready to devour someone.
Approaching the Vrykul Pirates who had fallen into the water, the nagelfar lowered energy ropes, pulling all the Vrykul Pirates onto the ship, whether dead or alive. Soon, the nagelfar neared Beta Port, its speed undiminished.
Facing the cold wind, Garrosh watched the nagelfar with cold eyes and gave the order: "Signal it to leave."
The messenger on the Mage Tower stood up trembling, waving his flag.
However, the nagelfar ignored the signal and continued to approach Beta Port.
Garrosh said coldly: "Sea Monster Killer, prepare!"
The Sentry Shooters immediately loaded the Sea Monster Killers onto the ballistas, aiming at the nagelfar, awaiting orders.
Seeing the nagelfar about to enter Beta Port, Garrosh decisively waved his hand, "Fire!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang..."
Ten meteors instantly struck the nagelfar, but the nagelfar, apart from gaining ten new holes, did not reduce its speed at all.
Garrosh frowned instantly. Did the nagelfar have no crew?
At this moment, the Sea Monster Killers were retrieved, and Garrosh waved his hand again.
The Sentry Shooters fired the Sea Monster Killers again. The Sea Monster Killers passed through the nagelfar without any obstruction, yet still caused no substantial damage to it.
The Mages on board had started activating the Mage Tower when Garrosh ordered the attack. After two rounds of Sea Monster Killers, the Mage Tower was also fully charged.
Without Garrosh's order, the Mage Tower fired a huge fireball.
The fireball shot into the mouth of the Proto-Dragon skull, hitting the hull and exploding with a deafening sound, but the nagelfar continued to advance...
The Kaldorei became terrified, "What is this monstrosity?"
"Why is there an indestructible ship?"
The nagelfar continued to advance slowly. Although its speed was slow, it pressed down on everyone's hearts like a thousand-pound hammer.
At this moment, a small boat sailed out of Alpha Port. It was Lady Erythea, who, upon realizing the Shadowsong Fleet couldn't defeat the enemy, had come to reinforce them.
Lady Erythea looked at the nagelfar indifferently, as if she hadn't noticed anything magical about it. She also used the cold wind to propel her small boat, which approached the nagelfar as swiftly as an arrow leaving a bowstring.
Soon, the small boat rushed near the nagelfar, and Lady Erythea suddenly used Flash to board the nagelfar.
It was then that she discovered the secret of the nagelfar's invulnerability.
This was actually an undead ship; not only were the crew undead, but the ship itself was also undead. Looking down from the deck, the nagelfar was severely damaged, with large holes in its hull and bottom. Yet, powered by undead magic, this ship could still sail on the sea.
Lady Erythea immediately became interested, "I have never seen such a magical ship!"
The Vrykul Pirates who had been rescued earlier surrounded her. Although their bodies were dead, their souls lived on.
"What kind of monster are you?"
The Vrykul Pirates curiously scrutinized Lady Erythea; they had never seen such a strange creature.
"Monster?" Lady Erythea sneered, "Yes, I am indeed a monster!"
A large amount of cold air emanated from her, instantly freezing all the Vrykul Pirates on the deck. Although she disliked her current appearance, she would not allow others to call her a monster.
The Vrykul Pirates struggled within the ice, letting out painful wails.
"Who dares to harm the servants of the Lord of the Netherworld!"
A roar came from below the deck, and heavy footsteps grew closer. A white-bearded Vrykul walked onto the deck. He raised the lantern in his hand, and powerful magic was released from it, freeing the Vrykul Pirates from the ice.
He stepped towards Lady Erythea, "What... are you?"
"A Lich!"
Lady Erythea looked up at him, "And what are you?"
"My name is Habron, the helmsman of the nagelfar," the white-bearded Vrykul said in a deep voice. "No one has ever dared to challenge the Lord of the Netherworld; you are the first."
Lady Erythea said coldly: "You were the ones who first provoked the Kaldorei Empire."
"Kaldorei Empire?" Habron showed a puzzled expression. "Is that Azshara's mortal kingdom?"
Lady Erythea said in a deep voice: "Azshara is dead. Now our monarch is King Gale!"
"King Gale?" Habron was even more perplexed, then he shook his head vigorously. "mortals are just mortals; their lifespans are too short. Lich, since you dare to challenge the Lord of the Netherworld, then you must be punished."
Saying that, he thrust the lantern forward, and a magical chain extended from it, binding Lady Erythea.
Lady Erythea tried to struggle but found that she couldn't cast any magic, collapsing directly to the ground. And a Lich, losing her magic, was equivalent to losing her abilities, including the ability to move.
Habron turned and walked towards the helm, the magical chain dragging Lady Erythea like a dead dog.
He walked to the bow, looked towards Beta Port, and declared loudly: "All who dare to provoke the Lord of the Netherworld shall be punished!"
Garrosh clenched his fists; he had never felt so powerless even against the Burning Legion.
Looking at the approaching nagelfar and Lady Erythea bound at the bow, he knew he had to make a decision.
"Light the beacon crystal!"
All the Kaldorei breathed a sigh of relief; the Mages immediately began charging the beacon crystal.
Soon, the beacon crystal lit up, then emitted a beam of light that shot straight into the sky.
"Hmm?" Habron looked at the light in surprise. Were those mortals calling for reinforcements?
It wasn't that he looked down on mortal reinforcements, but what could mortal reinforcements do even if they came? By then, he would have already cleared all the mortals in this port and sailed back.
"A dying struggle!"
The nagelfar sailed into Beta Port, and Habron waved his hand, "Kill everyone here."
The Vrykul Pirates became excited. They leaped from the nagelfar, treading on the water to attack the Shadowsong Fleet.
"Kill them all!"
"Hahaha, now it's finally time for our revenge."
Just as the Vrykul Pirates were getting carried away and preparing for a massacre, a rainbow streaked across the sky and landed on the Shadowsong.
Gale stepped out of the rainbow, and with a sweep of the eternal spear, powerful energy pulverized the Vrykul Pirates.
