Chapter 301 You Fell Down Before I Even Made a Move
"Those damn bastards!!"
Looking at the warship approaching him, Captain Fox also knew that today's battle was inevitable. Of course, if possible, he certainly hoped that he would immediately lift the anchor now, and then deal with the opponent. Helplessly, the ship has not been repaired yet, and I can't go anywhere, so I can only be a live target for a fixed fort here...
"Okay, everyone cheer me up and go to the fort! Get ready to fight!"
Although this merchant ship is not as good as Van Riel's warship, it is still well-trained. Soon, the sailors put down their work and quickly came to the fort, manipulating the magic fort to aim at the distant battleship .
"Fire!!"
"Bang bang bang!!"
Following Captain Fox's order, shells were shot out of the cannon barrel and flew towards Van Riel's frigate. But these cannonballs just flew to the front of the frigate, and with the brilliance of magic, a semicircular barrier suddenly unfolded, and the cannonballs that hit the barrier slid away to the sides, falling with a bang bang into the sea.
"Hmph, so these poor ghosts are poor ghosts."
Seeing the scene in front of him, Ambassador Luden also snorted coldly, then he reached out and picked up a cigar and put it in his mouth. In his opinion, a frigate can deal with a merchant ship easily, not to mention that in this world, all mainstream military warships have constant magic shields and various protections, and their shells are also unusual. There are special ones for breaking magical barriers, and others for creating flames and explosions. However, such shells are generally controlled products, and it is impossible to circulate them into the hands of civilians. Not to mention these merchant ships, you must know that it is illegal for merchant ships to possess military supplies, and once they are discovered, they will be imprisoned.
It is also because of this that ordinary merchant ships can hold ordinary shells, but cannot obtain those military controlled products. But with that level of attack, it is obviously impossible to break through the barrier of the frigate in front of him.
"Hahaha, a group of ordinary civilians still want to destroy our Van Riel's warship? It's just doing..."
"——————————————!"
Before Luden finished speaking, suddenly, his eyes were enveloped by a bright red dazzling torrent. The deafening roar whizzed past, and for a while Luden couldn't even hear anything in his ears. He could only stand there blankly, watching the torrent of energy in front of him hit the energy barrier like a raging wave, and then spread to both sides. After a while, the dazzling red light disappeared completely.
"call……………"
It wasn't until this moment that Luden stretched out his hand and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead. He only felt weak all over at the moment. You must know that the blow just now was so sudden that Luden didn't react at all. If there is no protection from the energy barrier, I am afraid that I am already finished!
"You, what are you doing! Come back and kill that broken ship!!"
"Cut, didn't you kill it?"
Putting down the umbrella in her hand, Tilia also had a look of displeasure on her face. She originally thought that relying on her own strength, she could easily sink that broken ship, but she didn't expect that the broken tortoise shell of that ship was comparable to that of a ghost ship. Much harder. I tried my best to bombard the past, but it didn't work.
Do you want to use that...?
Thinking of this, Tilia couldn't help looking at the handle of her parasol, where a small and exquisite rose pattern was emitting a faint brilliance.
But just when she was hesitating, suddenly, a voice came from the side.
"give it to me."
"Sister Nimfu?"
Hearing Nimf's words, Tilia looked at the little angel beside her in surprise. After getting along for so many days, Tilia knew Nimf quite well. As Founder's first Summoning creatures, the relationship between her and Fang Zheng is naturally the best, and besides that, the little angel is also very talented in alchemy creation. But her combat effectiveness... To be honest, in Tilia's opinion, even a newborn member of the Red World is probably much stronger in combat effectiveness than her angel sister.
But now, she actually wants to deal with a warship?
"Are you all right? If there's any danger..."
"No, it's fine."
Hearing Tilia's question, Nimf smiled and shook her head.
"Actually, it's over.
"………Hey?"
"Prepare to attack! Blow them into ashes!!"
At this moment, Luden was in high spirits. He waved his hands vigorously, and at the same time gave orders loudly. But what Luden didn't expect was that just after he finished speaking, he heard a loud "bang", and then the boat under his feet suddenly slowed down the next moment.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
"Report! The magic engine is malfunctioning!"
"how is this possible?"
Hearing the report from his crew, the captain couldn't help being stunned. This is the latest warship of Van Riel, and the magic engine is also the product of the latest production equipment. How could there be a breakdown?
"What is the cause of the failure?"
"Yes... the magic energy was overloaded instantly, causing part of the magic engine to be destroyed!"
"Fix it immediately!"
"We're fixing it, but..."
"how?"
"The damage is too serious, I'm afraid it won't be repaired in a while!"
"so troublesome………"
Hearing this, the captain also frowned, but he quickly made a decision.
"Hurry up and repair the engine immediately, others are preparing to operate the turret, the enemy has entered the range, lock the target and prepare to fire!"
Although the mana engine was damaged, the battleships in the main world were originally driven by sails and mana, which was an insurance policy after all. And right now even without the mana engine, the battleship with sails open can still continue to move. Although there is no way to change direction as freely as the mana engine, it is no problem for him to deal with a merchant ship.
"Target, two o'clock direction——!"
Following the captain's order, several turrets turned at the same time, aiming at the Black Crow.
"emission!!"
"boom-----!!!"
Luden didn't know what happened at all, because just after he heard the captain say the word "launch", he only felt a deafening explosion, and then Luden fell to the ground in the dark. Now, when he opened his eyes again, Luden couldn't help being shocked by everything in front of him.
I saw that the battleship should have been intact, but now it was full of smoke and flames, the deck was tattered, and only huge holes could be seen as far as the eye could see. The shrill sirens and shouts were mixed together, making it impossible to hear what was being said.
"What's the matter? What's the matter? What happened?"
Holding the console next to him, Luden stood up unsteadily and asked loudly. But at this moment, the captain not far from him didn't pay attention to what Luden was talking about at the moment, he just grabbed the microphone next to him and called out loudly.
"Extinguish the fire immediately! Extinguish the fire! Damn it, don't let the fire spread to the ammunition compartment! What? The sea valve was automatically opened? How did this happen? Was it blown away in the previous explosion? Damn..."
"What's the matter? Captain, what's going on?"
Seeing the captain's flustered look, Ambassador Luden also hurriedly grabbed his shoulder and asked loudly, while the captain shook his head blankly.
"I don't know either, I only know that at the moment of firing just now, all the magic turrets were overloaded and exploded! Damn, what is going on..."
"Captain, it's not good!"
However, at this moment, suddenly, a crew member ran over in a panic with his face livid.
"An unknown high-energy reaction appeared in the core of the magic energy!"
"what?"
Hearing this, Luden hadn't reacted yet, but the captain's complexion turned livid in an instant.
"Abandon ship, everyone, immediately..."
"boom!!!"
The next moment, the flames shot up into the sky, completely destroying everything.
"Uh... what's going on here?"
Tilia stood on the deck, staring blankly at the battleship in the distance. All she saw was that the battleship suddenly burst into flames, then exploded instantly, and then slowly sank into the sea after being blown into two pieces. This also made Tilia feel inexplicably at a loss as to what to say... What happened? The ship sank before he even made a move?
"Sister Nimfu? You did this?"
"Um."
Hearing Tilia's question, Nimf lowered her right hand and nodded with a smile.
"Fortunately, the opponent's magic utilization rate is relatively high, which just allowed me to find an opportunity to invade the magic circuit of that battleship. Now it seems that it is still very effective."
"........."
Tilia silently glanced at the shimmering light on Nimf's fingertips, and then glanced at the wreckage of the battleship that had been swallowed by the sea.
It seemed that she was going to re-evaluate the fighting power of her elder sister.
