Mitchen grinned broadly while his secretary, Winnie, calmly stood beside him like a bodyguard.

"Winnie! Are you ready?"

"Sir. I'm always ready. My duty has always been to guard your back."

Mitchen looked at his tiny secretary and chuckled.

Anyone who mistook her Lolita appearance before weakness was definitely in for the surprise of their life.

Well, what she said was true.

All of his official secretaries had his back.

No matter whoever accompanied him, they were always one step close by and were fast thinkers as well.

With the kind of job they did, of course, one would need to think fast!

Even their prisoners could play mind games on them if they showed any weakness.

Seeing that they were just a few seconds away from entering the war zone, Mitchen became highly vigilant.

"Everyone! Get ready and take cover! We're going In!"

~Brmmm!

Like an unstoppable force, the ships in his unit moved into the battle zone, maneuvering through the small paths between the many ships around.

This was one of the reasons why they chose to use these small speeding boats, which in fact, was one of the types of ships the Coast guards used when patrolling around and accounting for intruders.

Its sheer speed helped them move around quickly.

It was also the same ship type that Admiral Trey used last time against the Primates from Dragmus.

Its windows, doors and everything else could withstand several attacks and were designed to go into dangerous regions if need be.

A dangerous light shone past Mitchen's eyes after reaching their targeted ships.

"Team 1, begin ascent! Team 2. Cover them! All team's move out now!"

.

~Bam!

They shut the heavy doors behind them and vigilantly stormed out hastily.

Both foreign fleets were still shocked by the fact that a metal ship could float and had been in a daze ever since.

It was like watching Superman fly in real life.

Who wouldn't be made speechless?

Of course, like all fantasies, the mirage would get broken when one sees superman flying towards them murderously.

The moment these people came out with weapons, everyone woke up from their slumber.

For now, be it the people from Zohl or Adonis, they didn't know who these people were targeting.

So they automatically treated them as enemies too.

All the Zohl people were very much preoccupied since those from Adonis outnumbered them.

So those who were rushing towards Mitchen's team were those from Adonis.

Holy Commander Vladomod gritted his teeth and hastily turned to the archers at the edge of the ships, screaming at the top of his voice: "HOLY Archers! Forget about Zohl and Deliver Adonis' wrath on these Intruders! Spare no one!"

The archers who got word quickly passed on the message while focusing the remaining arrows that they hadn't used so far at these new opponents.

But before they could even make heads or tails of what was going on, something spectacular happened just behind them on the ships.

Eh?

Where did these thick, blinding clouds come from?

In no more than a second, their faces all turned grim.

"Fire! Fire! The ships are on Fire!!!"

.

Like confused ants, they quickly moved about, contemplating their next moves.

F***!

They hadn't seen any flaming arrows shot into their ships.

And by the thickness of this smoke, it should've been done by at least 150 flaming arrows on a single ship alone.

But if their eyes were still working properly (which they know it should), then they were certain that their vision never registered any rain of arrows coming their way.

So what the hell?

Could it be that the fire was started within the ships instead?

Of course, a few did see something fly from these intruders towards other ships, but it just looked like a stone ball.

So, how could they associate that with this level of smoke?

Impossible!

No human could trap smoke.

What were they, Adonis?

Only a God could do such a thing.

This scene was akin to people believing only in the present science of things.

In this era, this was the height of their science or understanding of the world.

So anything more would be associated with witchcraft, sorcery, or just plain disbelief.

How can one trap smoke?

What's next, trapping sound in an object?

Heh. Such a thing will never happen!

That's why they firmly believed that the smoke should've started by fire from below.

Maybe that's why they didn't feel the heat from the fire yet.

They speculated that it should've started from below deck, maybe towards the last lower floors.

And the smoke should've passed through the many creaks and passages of the wooden floors and the open doors going down the deck.

Yes. That was the only logical explanation.

Any other thing wasn't normal!

.

Several mushroom clouds of smoke covered the scene, instantly blinding many.

Even the people from Zohl were shocked and panic-driven too.

The ship was in bloody fire, so they had to evacuate fast.

At this time, they didn't know that the other ships were covered with smoke as well.

Holy Commander Vladomod squinted his eyes in confusion and panic too.

Something wasn't right here, but he couldn't put his fingers on it.

But no matter how everyone was feeling, they dared not attack others around them carelessly for fear of attacking their own people or biting themselves in the butt.

Of course, they also stayed as vigilant as ever.

Now, everyone was trying to move towards the edge of the ships and flee, jumping onto the nearby ships, thinking that these ships weren't filled with smoke.

But not long after they started moving, they heard several screams coming from the edge of the ships, making them take several steps back instead.

Without a doubt, they knew that those intruders had taken advantage of the fire and got on their ships.

They were trapped between the intruders, who were preventing them from leaving, and the fire below.

F***!

From the pot jumping into the fire.

Talk about being between a rock and a hard place.

At this time, both the Zohls and those from Adonis felt like these intruders were enemies.

But rather than burning helplessly, they would rather fight to the death!
