Chapter 840: The steel warships have arrived

The sailors fought bravely!

However, the disparity in strength was too great. While there were five warships on the opposing side, there were only three armed merchant ships here, and the firepower was simply not on the same level. The sailors' combat abilities also couldn't match those of real soldiers. Before long, the three armed merchant ships were heavily damaged.

Several crew members fell, and although the two little girls desperately tried to heal the sailors, their efforts were in vain. The number of injured quickly exceeded the limit that the two young nuns could treat. Exhausted and drained of their magical powers, they sat down in the cabin, unable to muster the strength to cast spells any longer.

The five Norma warships continued to approach...

A sense of despair filled the people on the ship!

Just then, amidst the ongoing battle, both sides suddenly heard a very loud steam whistle. The sound came from the distant sea, but it was familiar to the two little girls. It was the kind of sound that the steam train would make every time it entered the train station in Westwind City. However, the sound they heard now was deeper and heavier, indicating a larger scale steam engine.

The two little girls immediately became alert. They jumped up and leaned against the window, gazing in the direction from which the steam whistle sounded. On the far horizon, two huge steel warships appeared, proudly flying the flag of the Kingdom of Gran.

These two warships had a reputation among the Norma people, even louder than among the Gran people. The Norma people affectionately called them the "Demon Warships."

The Norma sailors cried out in fear, "How did the Demon Warships come here?"

"This is impossible. Weren't these two warships always cruising near the mainland of the Kingdom of Gran?"

"The spies said that these things don't run on wind power or magic but on coal. They need a large amount of coal to operate. How dare they come to the New Continent?"

"This is impossible! They can't be here on the New Continent."

"It must be an illusion!"

"Is it a mirage?"

Amidst the terrified screams of the Norma sailors, the two steel warships accelerated at full speed and closed the distance in an instant. Then, with a thunderous boom, the main cannon, known as the "Thor’s Roar," on the bow of the ship fired.

A thunderous beam of light, thicker than a water bucket, sliced through the sky and accurately struck the side of one of the Norma warships. The magic defensive barrier painted on the ship's hull was utterly useless, instantly pierced by the Thor’s Roar, leaving a large hole in the side. Countless sparks of electricity crackled around the breach.

"Damn, it's not a mirage."

"It's the real deal!"

"Run, we can't defeat this thing."
