Chapter 248

Swann smiled and spoke to Lucius, "Why don’t we ask Captain Judd to blow that ship . "

Lucius shook his head and spoke, "No, I will kill him with my very own hands . "

Swann sighed and spoke, "I guess we have no choice, Very well, lets go . "

Very soon all of them landed on a ship which previously belonged to Fjords,

Clay asked Swann as he watched him fitting some equipment on the ship, "Hey, what are you fitting on this lousy ship?"

Swann smiled as he looked at the water boosters and spoke in a mysterious way, "Well, this is one of our Trump cards to catch that bastard . "

After preparations, they started chasing Darius and his ship .

One of the scouts noted an anomaly and spoke to the cannoneer, "Don’t shoot, those kids are on that ship . "

Judd was really frustrated as he saw that the kids had disappeared after the magic smoke bomb which blasted earlier .

One of his subordinates came near him and spoke, "Milord, those kids are apparently on Fjord’s ship and going south-west . "

With frustration, he spoke, "Damn it . Send one team to chase them . That’s why I hate bringing kids on a battlefield . Even that cunning Endo has left . "

"Yes, Milord . "

After watching the general direction of Darius’s ship, Swann activated the water booster and increased his speed by 2 times .

Clay was surprised as he looked at the Water boosters with stars in his eyes, "Woah, this is incredible . "

Pleased with Clay’s expression, Swann proudly spoke, "Good, from now on follow me and you shall see more surprises . "

After some while, Darius’s ship in their view and they increased their speed to maximum .

Darius roared, "Damn, who is chasing us now?"

"It is one of our ships . "

Darius skeptically watched and asked, "How is it possible? I don’t think there is any ship that can be compared to our speed . "

One of the scouts immediately spoke, "Lord, it is those brats that are chasing us . "

Darius was shocked as he thought and smiled, He spoke in a cunning manner after some realization, "What? Good, start firing Ballistas on them . Looking at the way that captain was protecting them, they must be good in combat . "

"Okay, Milord . "

But very soon one of the ballistas hit their ship .

Darius immediately roared as he saw one ballista blowing off their mast, "Fu*k, do they want to sink me? Turn the directions, we will deal with them and escape on their ship . Does that brat think, I can’t even handle him?"

One subordinate spoke, "I advise against this decision, milord . There are other ships which are behind those brats . "

Darius shut him up and spoke, "No need I have already decided, we will take over their ships and weapons when we escape . There is a better chance to escape with their weapons and accessories . This can also give us merit when we return . Don’t target that ship, it is our way to escape . "

The subordinate sighed and spoke, "Yes, Milord . "

Lucius smiled as he watched Darius’s ship turning their direction and heading their way, he spoke, "Good, exactly as planned, When they come, starting firing our rifles on their them indiscriminately . "

"Swann, you will target Darius with your Magic bullets . "

Swann subconsciously nodded, "Yes . "

Swann soon realized and spoke in an angry manner, "Aah, whom are you ordering? Hmph, I will target him on my own accord . "

He thought and nodded, ’I guess I now understand why I don’t like this brat . A natural leader I guess . Well since he has a personal grudge against him, I might as well listen to him for once . ’

Blasts and gunfire could be heard as Darius’s ship approached them .

Azrail smiled and whispered to Lucius which surprised him and he immediately took a sound stone .

Lucius spoke on the sound stone, "Hear me sailors on the enemy ship . As long as you drop your weapons and raise your hands, you won’t be killed . Resist and you will die in front of our weapons . "

Darius ruthlessly roared as he understood the Plan of Lucius, "Who dares betray me?"

Soon Darius’s ship got near Lucius’s ship and the rate of casualty increased as well . This was the time when a lot of soldiers dropped their weapons .

At this time, Darius was about to kill one of the deserters when his subordinate stopped him and spoke in a grave tone, "Sir, you don’t want to cause a mutiny, do you?"

He then pointed out towards some of the guys who had dropped their weapons, "Look some of them are ready to retaliate if you try to kill them . "

With immense anger, Darius roared, "Why . "

The subordinate spoke as he looked in the direction of soldiers, "They don’t see hope in surviving this battle if they fight for you . You are meaninglessly leading them to their deaths . Even if we catch this ship, the other ships won’t let us leave . They have already pointed their cannons in our directions . "

Meanwhile, Lucius and crew landed on Darius’s ship as they rounded up .

Looking at one of the leaders, Swann orders him, "You, Chain them all up . It seems you are their leader and you are also the one who decided to surrender . "

The captain solemnly spoke as he understood that he was a disloyal soldier now, "Yes, there is no meaning in this battle . I and my men will unnecessarily lose lives for some merit which will ultimately belong to that scum . However, I don’t think we can survive this battle . We could have left previously but after underestimating you kids, he decided to use us as cannon fodder . We have already suffered enough when he betrayed the mates when he ran in the previous two battles . I ain’t fighting for a scum . "

Satisfied with his answer, Swann nodded and spoke, "Good, detain the men who have decided to surrender . Our men won’t shoot them . "

Lucius headed towards Darius and spoke, "Didn’t you want a 1 on 1 duel previously? Look I just came to fulfill that demand of yours . "

Looking at the situation, Darius knew that he couldn’t back down as he snorted and immediately charged in to surprise Lucius .

Darius murmured as he charged, "This runt thinks he can fight a knight in a 1 on 1 duel . Good, this will be a good chance to escape if I can get hold of him . "

Lucius immediately took out his small sword and a knife and moved to his left, he knew that he can’t fight him head-on when it comes to strength .

Lucius watched him and concluded, ’He has good speed, I can’t attack him yet . ’

When he moved to his left, he scratched his knife on Darius .

Darius again charged as he ignored the minor damage which was inflicted by Lucius . Again Lucius scratched his skin with his knife . The game of a cat and mouse continued for a while . Lucius would occasionally try to attack him with his sword which was always easily deflected by Darius’s shield . This gave the impression that Darius’s shield was very sturdy .

Getting frustrated by this chasing game, Darius tried to provoke him, "Hmph, Why don’t you give up? You can only fight with that rifle of yours . " But this time, Darius’s movements had slowed down .

After watching Darius’s slowed movements, Lucius this time smiled and moved in to attack him .

"Finally . "

Lucius roared and charged, "Very well, since you want a head-on battle . Don’t regret it later on . "

This time when he charged with his sword and knife, both his sword and knife were giving a black glow as runes too activated on it .

Looking at the sword, Clay smiled and spoke, "It seems, he is finally going to use that sword of his . "

Swann was confused as he asked, "What? Aren’t you worried that he might die? And what is with that General’s eye?"

Azrail sighed and spoke, "I guess, you don’t know . Yeah, you weren’t with us when we were training with Jake previously . You don’t need to worry about Lucius, he is quite strong . As far as that sword and Knife is concerned, they were made from a Dark ore and were personally gifted by Instructor Jake to Lucius for attaining the first position among us juniors . That Black glow apparently is Lucius’s Dark energy covered at the edges . Since Lucius didn’t have enough magic energy, he had decided this trick to maximize the efficiency by only covering the edges of his sword with dark energy . In any case, Lucius is better at close-combat anyway, you don’t need to worry . As for that General’s eye, I heard that he lost it Lucius’s mom if he is Mr . Henry’s son . "
