Chapter 503: Battle for the Frigate
Now the Ten Lords chat group broadcasts live from both Xila's perspective and Gabriel's perspective at the same time.

The Oak Ark, where Gabriel was, sounded an alarm and deployed a magic shield to protect the entire ship. But under the penetration of the singing, the magic shield was like a speaker in a speaker box that kept vibrating. The radar display screen in the Oak Ark's command cabin was flickering, and not only was it completely impossible to determine the location and distance of the sound source, even the location of the Black Iron Blade was blurry.

Xila compared the two live broadcasts and suddenly felt something was wrong: "The siren's song is too loud, but I can't hear anything from here. This shouldn't be the case at this distance!"

Michael was even more incredulous: "Can the sirens' song interfere with radar?"

Sariel immediately remembered something: "The special prison where I imprisoned flies also suffered a similar attack. I'll ask the mermaid first..."

At this time, the mermaid was in high spirits on the back of the black dragon, and did not show any fatigue from fighting for more than a day.

Sariel ascended into the air and asked, "Lord God, I've received the latest news. The Oak Flower warships were attacked by the Siren's song in the Thousand Islands Sea. However, this time the song was particularly loud and concentrated, not spreading to the surrounding areas..."

The mermaid was stunned for a moment, her expression immediately becoming serious. "This guy... you're talking about the sea creatures' echo matrix! It can carry sound for thousands of kilometers. Of course, it sounds loud, but it can't be detected from far away."

Michael was also surprised: "It's an echo matrix! But the echo matrix doesn't interfere with radar!"

Sariel panicked: "What should I do then?"

The mermaid was stunned for a moment: "What happened in Oak City is none of my business!"

Gabriel was furious: "Sariel, look at what you have raised!"

Sariel was anxious: "What if they attack us in the future? Should we also build an echo matrix?"

The mermaid said, "The echo matrix requires giant shells that are hundreds of years old. If I can find them, I can make them."

Sariel was stunned: "Where are these giant shells?"

“I don’t know,” the mermaid sighed.

Sariel asked anxiously, "What if we can't find the shell?"

The mermaid laughed. "I'll just rush over and grab the Matrix! Mortals can't handle this thing, but I'm different. Should I fly over now?"

Sariel was stunned: "Now? This... is too far away?"

The mermaid snorted coldly, "You know how far it is, right? Opening the mine right now is a crucial moment for me to rally the hearts and minds of the people of Black Iron City. Unless Oak City also lets me be its patron saint, then why don't we ask the Oak God to solve the problem?"

Sariel: “Emmmm…”

Gabriel said angrily, "That's enough. I, the Oakflower, can handle it myself. The last time the Pirate King showed up, the Imperial frigates only managed to tie—"

Before he could finish his words, there was finally a response on the radar. Two warships took advantage of the night fog and circled behind the Oak Ark!

The NPC first mate looked through the telescope and was shocked. "Miss Liya, it's the Pirate King's Sea Overlord and the missing Imperial frigate! The frigate's power system doesn't seem to be fully operational. It's being dragged along by the Sea Overlord with chains..."

Before he finished speaking, the two enemy ships opened fire at full force, and the magic shield, which was already shaking due to the Siren's sound waves, burned fiercely.

——Battle damage assessment report: protective shield loss 74%, hull durability loss 4%, enemy firepower assessment: medium to high threat!

Liya frowned. "Looks like they've blocked our retreat route. Concentrate all your firepower on the Sea Overlord, speed towards the Black Iron Blade, and release flares..."

At this time, the Black Iron Blade where Xila was finally saw a slight movement at the edge of the sea and sky.

Xila said, "Miss Fafna, the Oak Ark has been attacked. Hurry and rescue it." Fafna smiled and said, "One more ship means more strength. Let's go and rescue it."

Xila reminded: "But it may be the Pirate King, the frigate, and the Siren!"

Fafna was stunned for a moment: "Are you sure?"

Xila coughed dryly: "After all, I am a nun, so I have some predictive ability."

Fafna looked at Xila with an uncertain look in her eyes.

Xila was also a little embarrassed. After all, she was a player and could communicate offline. Considering the NPC's intelligence, she was a bit ahead of the times, wasn't she?

Fafner sighed. "It seems the intelligence I received might be a trap, and Leah has helped me set it up in advance. I have to rescue her no matter what. First Mate, send a support signal to the Oak Ark."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gabriel's side suffered another round of artillery fire!
Then, the command module of the Oak Ark, which had been disturbed, unexpectedly received this vague message in time. Although it was blurry, the word "support" was still clear.

Gabriel sighed, "It's better not to come. Let Leah activate the safe haven teleportation and leave. It will only cost half of my durability. When she comes, I will still lose half of my durability!"

Xila laughed. "Now that Fafna has directly offered to support us, how can Leah avoid danger? It would be better to let the pirates blast away half of their durability, which would also be considered as consuming their energy."

Gabriel almost laughed out of anger: "I suspect this Fafner did it on purpose, right?"

Xila smiled: "Really? If she was that smart, she wouldn't be at the bottom of the list among the city beauties, right?"

At this moment, the Ark's first officer reported the latest situation: "Ms. Liya, the frigate's power system is getting worse."

Liya said calmly, "I heard the frigate escaped from Silver City before it was even repaired. Perhaps it was overloaded, and now it's even more vulnerable. That's why the Sea Overlord had to tow it with chains. Now it seems the enemy can't escape with Fafner's support, so they will definitely abandon the frigate..."

While he was speaking, the other side launched another round of bombardment:
——Battle damage assessment report: protective shield secondary replenishment 40%, hull durability loss 34%, enemy firepower assessment: medium threat!

Gabriel was quite relieved: "It's an intermediate threat! It means the opponent's energy can't keep up!"

Liya made a quick decision: "Turn the warship and attack the pirate ship. Everyone on board is ready for collision!"

The first mate also reported good news: "The Black Iron Blade has appeared at full speed!"

Gabriel also saw a turning point: "The pirate ship has also started to turn, and the command cabin of the frigate behind seems to be on fire and smoking..."

Liya said in a deep voice: "It seems that the enemy is going to abandon the frigate and escape. Go over there at full speed to put out the fire!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the pirate ship fired another salvo, but it was not very powerful and smoke billowed! It was indeed the prelude to a smoke screen escape.

When the Oak Ark rushed out of the smoke, the pirate ship disappeared in the smoke, leaving only the command cabin engulfed in flames.

At this moment, the Ten Masters chat group applauded: "Congratulations on completing the mission!"

Xila was furious: "We agreed not to take credit!"

Gabriel smiled and said, "This is Chenghua's decision. I can't even interfere. But in this case, Black Iron Chenghua also deserves credit!"
