Elias' heart was racing as the magic projectiles came flying in. He knew that his boat could be hit at any moment, and  was now relying completely on safety in numbers. For a quick glance around showed that the number of boats making for the shore went swiftly went from the dozens and  into the hundreds; so many boats there were, that it was becoming hard for the watchtowers to miss. And everytime a nearby boat got hit, Elias had to look away, as the men on board; his men, had to struggle simply to keep afloat, as their armor was now dragging them down beneath the waves. All he could do was look straight towards the beach, which was now less than fifty feet away.

"Keep going! Keep going! Row! Row! Row!" He cried out in a bellowing voice.

And while Elias wasn't concerned for the airships, a quick look past the armada made his heart sink. While he was expecting a good number of corvettes to be lost, seeing one of his dragoons go down filled him with dred, as he had no idea who went down. The very thought of losing Mathis and Yana filled him with fury. And he now smiled at what was about to happen; as the remaining corvettes were now pulling up to the first Mist ships.

The dragoons, after losing one of their own, were now disengaging. But they had done substantial damage to the Mist fleet, as nearly all the Mist ships had their sails seriously torn, while a small number even lost a mast or two.

The Altmoran corvettes on the other hand, having lost nearly half their number to Mist cannons, sailed up to the first ships of the Mist fleet. The crewmen were now hastily uncovering the weaponry on the top decks; revealing strange weapons unlike anything else in the west. And right as the corvettes pulled up alongside the Mist ships, they released jets of liquid fire from their bronze nozzles; which sprayed not only the broadsides, but arced up unto the decks and even into the sales.

Worse still, is that some the burning substance streamed through the cannon ports of several ships, setting internal fires as well.

Within a matter of seconds, a third of the Mist Navy was turned into blazing pyres. And it became abundantly clear real fast, that the rest of the Mist fleet was in danger of following suit, as the corvettes converged on the remaining Mist ships.
