Chapter 139: The Wind Has Died Down, Time for Fog!

Da Fei's pursuit of the fleeing enemy was not going well.

Giant paddle ships are just that, giant paddle ships; as long as the enemy is determined to flee in a straight line, catching up is no easy feat. Of course, the key problem is that even if you catch up, there's nowhere to strike. Unlike modern warships with cannons at the bow, sailboats must turn to the side to attack, and turning definitely slows you down, allowing the enemy to get away again. So after half a day chasing, it was the Druid's lightning bolt that finally capsized one.

It seemed obvious the enemy was resorting to trickery. Da Fei wasn't keen on continuing the chase, but Mrs. Anwen remained smiling silently, Miss Catherine was in high spirits, and Selvia's mana was steadily recovering, so they decided to keep up the pursuit, ready to see it through. Worst case, if they can't win, they can still run, brother can flee just as they can't catch up.
