Wealthy return
Bardeelus and the ship full of people made quite some progress, in a span of two days. After they adjusted their approach on these fishy enemies, most encounters were executions rather than battles!
Many draconic seahorses were brutally stabbed, drained of their blood, and even struck by lightning at times! Almost none of them managed to pierce through the ship's organized defenses, and those who did, were turned into a meal.
The fire mage blasted them dead, and in half of the cases, the enemies were fried whole, where they were used as meals afterwards. Their meat tasted sweet, and was very plumpy. The sailors especially enjoyed these meals, as they never ate 'sea people' before.
Anyway, in total, they managed to kill thirty-seven draconic seahorses in just two days! Bardeelus hadn't expected to fight so many of them, but they became hyper-active once about ten of them were killed.
