Hannoic War
Black Fire (Part 18)

"War is Father and King of all things.Some he has made a god, some he made a man, some he made slaves, some he made free..."

- Herodotus in Heraclitus of Ephesus

Black Flame

The sound of the ship colliding was heard, its voice was thunderous like lightning while the origin of this sound came from wood.

His voice could be heard coming from the front guard troop ship.

The waves were then created due to the collision of troops in front..

This ship swayed a lot because of the waves.Make Perrin and other crews hold tight to whatever is on the ship.

Some of the soldiers were seen slipping on the floor and falling while holding onto anything around them.

The flutter of water then began to rise and wet Perrin and the rest of the crew.

Perrin covered his head with his robe so that water would not wash it.

"It seems that the front ship has collided with my master's enemy ship!" said General Garuman shouting in the chaos.

"Yes! What about the other ship? You see?" said Perrin, shouting for Jaruman to hear.

"I can see my master!" said Jaruman.

"Good! That means you can see our crew! Immediately prepare them protectors and weapons!" said Perrin firmly.

"B-well my lord!" said Jaruman, who turned his eyes to the crew.

Slowly the waves and the wobble stopped...

But the water was still flying up the ship Perrin. Wetting the clothes of Perrin and the other soldiers.

Perrin then stopped covering himself from the water with his robe...

*..tuk*..tuk*..tuk*

Perrin's footsteps felt strong on the wooden floor of this ship while his armour could feel heavier because it was wet.

When Perrin got on top of this ship...

Perrin's eyes reflected on the fire he saw...

Perrin's eyes become like red flames although Perrin's actual eye color is yellow...

*LINK!*LINK!*SRENGGGGGGGH!*

The sound of iron clashing against each other, was heard while blood danced among the group of troops fighting like hungry wolves.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAHH!!!"

Shouts of suffering soldiers were heard in front of Perrin.

Perrin could see the front ship burning with fire along with other enemy ships.

While the soldiers in it collide with the enemy....

Some of the soldiers crossed into the enemy ship with wooden bridges that they made themselves.

In front of Perrin.the sea fell into chaos..

The sound of iron rings could be heard everywhere..

*CLINK!*KLLIIIINGGGK!*

Perrin's eyes turned fiery red as Perrin watched the entire battle..

*This.this is more chaotic than I thought.more chaotic than the Black Party.*, thought Perrin.

The battle is completely chaotic.

*AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!*

Perrin ship is not known which friend or opponent even with its flag…

The flag may be the Kraken but the soldiers in it sometimes wear armour bearing the coat of arms of king Trivistane...

Burning ocean….

*BY RIGHT HAND!!!*

Hundreds of screams rang out and mixed like baskets of fruit without arrangement…

*CRAKEN!*CRAKEN!*CRAKEN!*

As if strawberries were mixed with bananas, wine, and peaches..

*FOR THE GARUMAN FAMILY!*

But one can sometimes be heard…

*BY KING!*BY KING!*

The sound of shouting was heard for the sake of the princess, the kraken, their side family, the Trivistane king, or even the name of their city…

Only the screams ended up…

*AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHKKK!!!!*

Perrin can't do anything right now...

*How is this? How can I manage an army to victory if this is the case?* ,thought Perrin.

"My lord? You look dizzy" said Jaruman walking towards Perrin and then standing beside him.

"What do we usually do when the vanguard attacks like this?" asked Perrin.

"Lord can roar by boat to the vanguard to fight if he wants" Jaruman said.

"I'm not that stupid" Perrin said.

"Yes we wait, we hang ourselves in bravery and fighting skills to the vanguard soldiers" Jaruman said.

*Sit down and roll the dice you mean? How we are defeated.but it seems that there is no safe way but to wait.*, thought Perrin.

Perrin sees hundreds of possibilities, but there is no other way.

Should he get it out now? No.no now…

Not now.it's too dangerous.

"If we bring the ship forward.then our ship will even be able to hit the front guard ship..It seems that I have to listen to you" said Perrin while looking ahead.

*But I'm not as patient as you*, thought Perrin.

"But I don't want to wait, prepare archers, we rain them arrows" Perrin said.

"But sir? What about our friends up front?" Jaruman said.

"A arrow does not have a heart, just fingers" Perrin said strongly.

"...well sir" said Jaruman in a cold voice and a sharp look.

It looks like the fight continues brutally with chaos in front.

"Prepare the Arrow!" said Jaruman loudly.

Quickly the soldiers lined up neatly on the sidelines of the ship.

One by one the soldiers prepared bows and arrows.

Some of them were terrified and nervous.

"Is it okay to attack your friends in front?" said the knight beside Perrin.

"It's a war boy, if there's anything we can do to win a war, we do it" Jaruman said.

It was seen that some of the soldiers were ready with their bows and arrows.

"Pull!" , cried Jaruman with great.

The soldiers instantly pulled their bowstring and prepared to release their arrows.

"GUNSHOT!" , shouted Jaruman louder.

The sound of arrows being released sounded.

Dozens of arrows were released into space…

One by one the arrows fell onto the group of troops fighting in front.

Not caring about the feeling of the shooter arrows shot the enemy or friend of the shooter.

"Turn on the signal.swing on the Katapult" Perrin said.

"This is too bad, my lord, it will damage all the vanguard including the enemy" Jaruman said.

"The Prime Minister's right hand commands you" Perrin said with his monster gaze.

"B-well my lord" said Jaruman.

Jaruman then raised his hand and started swinging his hand.

The soldiers who started to see him started to turn on their red lights.

Then one by one the messenger soldiers behind the ship turned on their red lights.

Soon one by one the soldiers on the other ship began to turn on the signal red light.

Until almost all ships turn on red light their signal is darkened...

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

"Red signal!" said one of the soldiers on the ship.

"Captain! Red signal!" said one of the soldiers.

The captain of the ship was sweating.

"Prepare the Katapult!" said the captain.

Then one of the soldiers opened the katapult cover cloth.

The catapult cover is large enough that it takes 3 people to open it.

The catapult looks large enough that the entire middle of the deck of the ship is taken by the katapult.

"Take the stone!" said one of the commanding soldiers.

One of the soldiers then took a large stone.

Then the big stone was put thrown katapult.

*Drueddd*

"GUNSHOT!"

"Mr Qharlan.all the pigeons for the command, have been distributed to the ships of Captain Burung Bangkai' ", said the soldier who reported and stood behind Qharlan.

" 'The Ships of the Captain of the Carcass Bird' have been prepared? Captains are well versed in naval combat, they are our key to winning this battle now" Qharlan said, looking at the blank paper with pawns on it.

'Carcass Bird Ships'.one of the famous pirate group likes to challenge the elite navy of kingdoms in Akkad.

*Hahh...How many pirate groups like this are on my side? From the beginning, I had doubted that this was the navy of a king*, thought Qharlan with a sigh.

Qharlan had gathered hundreds of pirate groups all over Akkad, promising them riches, riches, and names to bring them here.

*Bbbbbrrruakkkkk!*Trassssshhhhh!*

The voice was quite large but it could be heard far away, in the middle of the army.

*What is that?* ,thought Qharlan.

*Brruaaakkkkk!*

The voice sounded once again.

*Something big hit the ship and sank straight into the sea? What is..the enemy ship that hit our ship? But no. the sound is not like this..The sound is not like this*, thought Qharlan in confusion.

Then something like a small fire floated up..

For a while Qharlan could see it…

Never Qharlan see the siege…

*Stone!?* hugely surprised Qharlan.

Then down the little fireball.

*Bbbbrruuaakkkkk!*

Qharlan bengong for a while then realized what he had to do.

Qharlan then diverted himself from the stone and walked behind the deck.

"Hiu Scorch group' to advance from the rear guard with pigeons!" shouted Qharlan as he pulled one of the soldiers.

"B-good sir!" said the soldier who pulled Qharlan quickly.

The soldier was then released by Qharlan, then went to the place where he sent the dove letter.

"God..astaga.." ' said Qharlan while putting his finger on his forehead.

"What is my master?" , asked Paral.

"Starting from the night attack in the middle of the sea, splitting his army to attack from 2 directions, and now….Katapult on board. The general we are fighting is not an ordinary person" Qharlan said.

Katapult is not a war machine that is easy to make, nor carried on a ship, its weight must be adjusted on a ship if it wants to be transported in balance without sinking.

*Bbbbrruuaakkkkk!*

Qharlan then saw hundreds of flaming rocks hovering over space…

Like a shooting star on the Holy Island of Cyronia…

And hundreds of them floated and fell..

*Bbbbrruuaakkkkk!*

While this.there are dozens of Katapult paired.

Losing a Katapult machine is not a cheap price and only a person who is experienced in machining can make it in a few weeks.

*Bbbbrruuaakkkkk!*

Then dozens of Katapult will sink and the price...

….can't be cheap.

*Bbbbbrrruakkkkk!*

Several ships have been built for months in the eyes of Perrin destroyed…

*This is a loss I'm willing to take.*, thought Perrin.

Sank the front guard ship with thousands of crew who are really brave...dare? Stupid to be exact

'Mostly stupid' it's a word Julius uses to describe people willing to do heroic things.

When Julius' speech grimaced in Perrin's head, sometimes all the voices in the world became like they never were.

Even the screams of his ship's crew were drowned..

And the sound of the ship falling..

But it seems that not only the crew of Perrin's vanguard ship sank but some enemies as well.

Many enemy ships also sank.with the flag of Kraken and Crown side by side slowly after that sank slowly as well..

But Perrin could see it. amidst the chaos and shipwreck…

In the midst of chaos and fire and the sea eating land garbage.

The key to winning the battle..

"Command all the ships around us to come forward" Perrin said with his eyes widened.

*Bbbbrruuaakkkkk!*

"Master?" , Jaruman muttered as he did not hear Perrin's words due to the Katapult attack.

"Command our troops to advance once more, we will attack into the formation of the ship" Perrin said, turning to look at Jaruman.

The formation of this enemy ship has been broken down and there is a gap for us to attack...

By attacking there will be our key to winning...

"But my lord.this seems imprecise.." said Jaruman, frowning his forehead.

"What do you mean

When Perrin turned back to look forward, towards the formation of enemy troops….

The gap is closed..

The key to his victory has been thrown by the ocean just like the crew of the Perrin front guard ship...

The enemy ships had already set up a formation and closed their chances.

*It's too fast.* , thought Perrin.

Just now Perrin turned around and the gap was already closed…

Amidst the sea of chaos on one of the ships can be seen his gray Kraken sails Perrin can be seen burning by fire.and enemy soldiers replace the crown flag while shouting spirit…

"KING TRIVISTANE! TRIVISTANE KING! KING TRIVISTANE KING SAH! KING SAH! KING SAH!!"

*I was repulsed.I heard the enemy general is a former pirate and has 25 years experience at sea.it seems to be true..* ,thought Perrin noticed the ships of his front troops began to be taken by the enemy or sank one by one...

The formation of the ship's front troops was destroyed...

And then the enemy could be seen targeting him in the line of Perrin's ships...

"Make the captain of the 'White Coast' to keep his crew advancing! Give the pigeons there!" , command Qharlan to the crew who prepared the letter-sending pigeons.

"Ba-good my lord!" said the soldier.

"What about the right flank!?" said Qharlan inquiring loudly.

"Ma-still deteriorate my lord! Our ships on the right wing many taken my lord!" said the soldier stuttering.

*Sial..it is good left wing even damaged right wing.*, thought Qharlan.

"Send the pigeons to the Captain of the 'Dear of the Whore' ship to the rear to attack with 3 other ships of our troops to the right wing, command them not to take the enemy ship of the right wing but to burn it!" ,Qharlan's orders.

"Okay my lord!" said the soldier as he ran to the other side of the ship.

"What about the attack of the enemy on the left wing!?" , asked Qharlan to one of his soldiers.

"You're my lord! But the enemy still survives strongly it seems to be my master!" said the soldier.

"Command to keep attacking! What about the ship in the vanguard!?" said Qharlan with his old lips.

"Tu-wait a minute my lord!" said the soldier as he shook his hand opening the letter at one of the pigeon's legs.

Qharlan just interviewed him and saw hundreds of ships around him in chaos with fire with iron colliding with each other.

The night wind blew while the sound of screaming troops was heard around Qharlan.

But Qharlan could feel the night wind on his skin...

*The Goddess of the Sea Mother.Give me a blessing today.*, thought Qharlan while praying.

"My master the vanguard has been attacked by my lord on the left! The battle has already begun to sink in the front!" said the soldier as he read the letter.

"Good, command the rear guard to attack in full!" said Qharlan.

"Who has Dalmatia!?" said General Jaruman as he looked at the crews who were marching on the ship.

"WE!" said the soldier in unison.

"DALMATIA HAS WHO!?" said Jaruman louder as he clenched his hands in front of his chest.

*druk!*druk!*druk!*

"US! KITA!" said the soldiers in unison while smashing their shields with their swords.

*DUMM!*DUMM!*DUMMM!*

The sound of war drums sounded by soldiers on the ship Perrin..

*DUMM!*DUMM!*DUMM!*DUMMMMM!*

Hundreds of other ships began to ring their war drums, for a while as if Perrin troops were preparing a black magic ceremony to resurrect the Kraken....

"WHO HAS DAMALTIA!!?" said Jaruman in a louder voice so that other ships could hear him.

"US! WE ARE! WE ARE! WE WHO HAVE DAMALTIA!" , said the soldier more spirit.

"SHOW IT THEN!!" said General Jaruman.

While Jaruman prepared the spirit of the troops behind him. Perrin was in front of the ship, seeing his soldiers and enemy soldiers fighting each other.

It was seen that several enemy troops were boarding small boats to prepare to land on the Perrin line.

Some are ready to be boated and are rowing Perrin shipwrecks.

"Why are you ready?" asked Perrin.

"Yes my lord" said the soldier beside him.

"Order them to prepare their arrows" Perrin said as he turned and walked somewhere, "I will myself prepare my arrows"

Perrin then walked among the excited troops and shouted their battle cry.

Perrin's eyes stared sharply ahead.

While the Perrin armour sparkled between the darkness of night and the water that wrapped the Perrin armour.

"Take this ship while I go up to the mast" said Perrin, giving Jaruman his black robe.

"My lord? What is this.." Jaruman said in confusion.

"For this ship, I will go up" Perrin said as he climbed the mast of the boat's tower.

*If I don't do this.then this battle isn't won.* , thought Perrin.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

The kraken screen is seen burning by fire in the middle of the ocean...

Qharlan could see it from afar though in the darkness, how his army replaced it with the flag of king Trivistane, razing the fearsome grey Kraken flag.

The fight has arisen in many parts supplied, when the battle is over it is certainly a victim and the loss is not possible a little.

But Qharlan could see that...

"What about the enemy army?" Qharlan asked Paral behind him.

"They were beaten back, my lord, we won! The legitimate King of Trivistane won my lord!" said Paral with a smile.

"No.still not yet.victory is never sure son" said Qharlan with a sharp look at the ships burning and falling into the hands of his troops.

*...tuk*

Ride Perrin to the stewardship mast of this ship...

"Hahh.." , breathed Perrin's exhaustion because of how difficult it was to climb up with his armour.

Perrin then opened his helmet and his eyes turned red again due to the reflection of the shadow of fire in front of him.

Can Perrin see on this pole.thousands of troops fight each other.one by one die...

Hundreds of his Kraken flags began to be burned by the enemy..

The ocean became full of flames, blood, thousands of deaths, iron, wood, and thousands of corpses.

Dozens of ships burned in front of Perrin and hundreds more fell to the other side...

Perrin then straightened his right hand forward...

Withdrawing Perrin's breath.When his chest began to be tight with his heart beating fast...

*If I fail..then my army loses.*, thought Perrin.

His troops had been repulsed, all depending on this decision. Perrin had prepared it even though Perrin was still quite terrified of using it.

Magic is like a sharp sword without a handle, dangerously swung but effective against the enemy if controlled.

But still Perrin still has not fully controlled it. Perrin recalled trying his magic power near the woods around Ballerius Castle.

The fire burned a bunch of foxes until the fox disappeared without leaving anything, but after using it Perrin felt very tired.

When Perrin first came to this world, he could sleep several times even though it was difficult, but after using the magic, Perrin could not sleep at all.

*The magic of the world is more frightening and wild.The magic of this world is like a sharp sword without its handle.*, thought Perrin.

'The Magical Skill Activated: The Great Black Fire'

Willy's voice grimaced in Perrin's head...

"The Magical Skill Activated: The Great Black Fire" Perrin said.

A large gray magic circle came out from Perrin's hand...

And a small ball of light formed in front of the magic circle...

It was seen that the small ball of light was gathering magical aura around it..

*Let life be at stake.*, thought Perrin.

'Release'

"Detach" ' said Perrin.

The small ball of light was then thrown into space and long ago away from Perrin...

Fly the small ball over the sea which becomes a battle field..

The little ball glowed brightly until everyone noticed it...

Very light to dark night is briefly removed by the small ball of light...

Thousands of people turned their attention to the small ball...

Jaruman with a passionate army under Perrin...

Perrin's enemy troops on board the boat prepared to board the Perrin...

Hundreds of troops fighting each other on board.....

One soldier who survives the fight is sitting on the dead bodies of his friends and enemies...

The enemy soldiers were cheering while burning the flag of the Kraken Perrin...

Qharlan and his soldiers…

*What is.* , thought Qharlan dumbly.

*BOOOOOOAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!*KRRRREKKAKKKKKKKKKK!!!*TURRRRRRARRRKKKKKK*
