Chapter 739 Secret Helper
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The gunfire on the sea continued, and water jets, flames, and debris became the main theme at the moment. Although the "Black Emperor" counterattacked, even though its power was enhanced due to the law, it was still difficult to threaten Pulitzer, whose main armor belt was 457mm thick. Number.
The iron-clad ship was chasing after the gunfire of the 'Dark Emperor'. Even though Nast tried his best to intercept the shells with the abilities he could still use, he was only one person, and he couldn't intercept so many attacks at all.
One after another fireballs continued to bloom on the 'Black Emperor', one after another, forming a gorgeous spot of light. The 'Black Emperor' has never been as fragile and helpless as it is now.
Its sides were smashed, one of its main poles snapped off, its guns fell into the sea, and the pirates on board were killed and wounded countless times.
Under the desperate control of the second officer Bird Mustang, the 'Dark Emperor' sailed along the edge of the island, trying to restore the previous practice of the 'Breaker', using this natural island to block the line of sight of the iron-clad ship, and at the same time break away from the effective law. scope.
However, the two demigods on the iron-clad ship continued the law from time to time, and the artillery fire from the iron-clad ship directly bombarded the island, causing the trees on it to shatter, and the rocks flying across, flocks of seabirds that inhabited the island flew up in fright and rushed to the island. The sky flew to other places like a dark cloud.
The island was quickly flattened under the bombardment of the Pulitzer, and the fierce artillery fire seemed to herald the end of the 'Dark Emperor'.
At this time, on the "Explorer" in the distance, Xifa standing on the bow deck suddenly felt that the sky was getting dark quickly. He raised his head, and a large piece of dark clouds was gathering above the sea. After a while, a bean-sized raindrop fell. Hit him in the face.
Then, clatter, it rained.
Woo!
With the arrival of the raindrops, a strong wind began to blow on the sea surface, and the sea wind suddenly became stronger, making a terrifying howl. Amidst the unusual sound of the wind, the clouds above were flickering with lightning, and lightning was advancing layer by layer in the dark clouds, and then disappeared in an instant.
A moment later, a brilliant silver streak fell from the sky and struck at the Pulitzer, but the light rapidly weakened on the way down, and the lightning quickly split. When it hit the Pulitzer, only an inconspicuous tree branch remained Tiny lightning.
Xifa let out a 'huh', and his spiritual intuition told him that this was not natural lightning.
Someone is helping the 'Dark Emperor'?
Just as he was thinking this way, a faint mist floated in front of his eyes, and the sea was actually foggy!
In the mist, there was a dead breath surging silently, and they spread to the surroundings with the mist, rapidly weakening the effect of laws affecting this space.
Xifa felt that the power of his demigod was recovering at a rapid speed. If he was like this, Nast would naturally be recovering as well.
Sure enough, the armored ship attacked again, but this time the trajectory of the shells deviated exaggeratedly. Nine of the ten shells deviated from the preset positions. One after another water column.
boom.
A bright flash of lightning struck down from the sky, this time the light was not weakened much, and struck one of the chimneys of the ironclad ship at once. Although the chimney was not broken, the split current leaped rapidly on the surface and spread to all directions. The diffusion transmission caused many sailors on the deck to convulse and fell to the ground due to electric shock, unable to continue working.
Seizing this rare opportunity, the figure of the 'Dark Emperor' quickly faded away. Before the demigods of the Loen army had time to add new laws, the 'Dark Emperor' leaped into the spirit world and left quickly. .
After the 'Black Emperor' left, the fog on the sea gradually dissipated, the storm gradually subsided, and the dark clouds in the sky dispersed, allowing the pale sunlight to fall on the sea again.
Only the 'Prize' remained on the sea, and the 'Dark Emperor' had long since disappeared.
Port of Hakata.
In this port not far from the Mad Sea, the buildings can be built wherever they want, and there is no trace of planning at all, so that some of the roads here are wide, some are narrow, and some can allow several carriages to pass by at the same time. Some even find it difficult to pass alone.
In a tavern not far from the port, Xifa took Mr. X and Church to the door, walked through the air mixed with alcohol, sweat and low-quality perfume, came to the corner, and met the captain of the "Breaker" Ken Angus.
Ken Angus, who calls himself the 'Iron Admiral', is now dressed very low-key, looking like a sailor. Sitting next to him are Roger and Quincy. The three men are already drinking, but Quincy's cup There was still a lot of beer left in the bottle, so I didn't drink a few sips.
"Hey, Captain Rayleigh, sit down." Ken Angus pointed to a chair across the table.
Xifa sat down with a smile, lowered his voice and asked, "Captain, are you alright?"
"It's okay, but it's fortunate that you are holding back, otherwise, I think it would be very difficult to bring the 'Dark Emperor' into the ambush site, and it would have been sunk by Nast as early as halfway." Ken picked up a bottle of wine himself , and poured a glass for Sifa.
Xifa sighed: "The firepower of the iron-clad ship is really strong, but unfortunately, the 'Black Emperor' was not able to stay."
Ken pushed the wine glass towards Sifa and said at the same time: "The military demigod on the Pulitzer said that someone was secretly helping the 'Dark Emperor', otherwise, Nast would never be able to escape."
"However, the news that the 'Black Emperor' was attacked by an ironclad ship will soon spread, and the navy has achieved its goal. The reputation of the Pulitzer will spread across the sea, and the pirates will definitely be terrified after hearing about it."
"This time, after listening to your suggestion, the 'Dark Emperor' was successfully damaged. This contribution has been recorded for you."
"By the way, do you still remember what I told you a few days ago about asking you to go to the Southern Continent?"
Xifa nodded, and saw Ken Angus take a file bag and throw it over.
"The specific information is in there. You can read it yourself after you go back. Let me tell you briefly here. First, you are going to the city of Gurain in East Balam. On a nearby river, there are rebels occupying A bridge was built to block that river, making traffic difficult."
"In the rebel army, members of the Rose School of Thought are assisting, and you need to assist there. The main task is to target the members of the Rose School of Thought."
"After completing this task, you should follow the arrangements of Colonel Alfred Hall for the next period of time. He is the second son of an earl. He has served in the army of the Southern Continent and has made a lot of contributions. .”
Xifa nodded slightly imperceptibly, he is now a lieutenant colonel, and it is reasonable to obey a colonel's arrangement.
"I hope the work will be easier then." Xifa said softly, then picked up the wine glass and smiled at Ken Angus, "Captain, I respect you."
