Chapter 358 [Major General Level Magic Blade X1 Mechanical Armor]
In the early morning of the next day, the No. 2 wharf of the Golden Walled City was full of people and noisy.
Originally, this was the location where the main battleships of Oleg's "First Fleet" were moored, but for the marriage of the "Princess Frost Moon" from Marfa, this private dock was vacated alone.
There is a "Neptune-class" battleship moored at the pier. The total length of the hull is nearly 200 meters. A warship with this displacement is already the ultimate sailing ship.
Even in the entire North Sea, there were only three ships before.
This is the fourth ship.
The iron-clad warships of the Marfa Empire are very strong. If you come to this sea area, almost no pirate ships can compete with them. It's a pity that Lu Ying will never allow Mafa's surface ships to appear behind the empire's territory.
The royal family will not use other people's old things. In order to facilitate travel, Princess Skadi bought this warship that is still in the shipyard as a car for travel. It was also repainted, made a very luxurious decoration, and named it "Princess Skadi".
Next to the main ship, there are eight frigates neatly arranged.
These ships have undergone some mechanical modifications, and the hulls are equipped with high-tech alloy baffles and large-caliber heavy artillery, which look majestic.
The royal princess travels with great ostentation, the red carpet is laid all the way, and the guard of honor stretches for a mile.
Not long after the salute was fired, the "Princess Frostmoon" Scati Harris, who was wearing a gorgeous dress, slowly walked out of the city surrounded by a group of royal guards.
Outside the dock, the 19th Division of the Fourth Fleet, which had been ordered, waited outside the port for a long time.
They are the escort fleet in name, but they are not qualified to approach the princess' ship.
On the deck, "The Butcher" Banner and his confidants are watching from a distance.
"This Princess Marfa really has a lot of cards. It's only been a few days since she was assassinated last time, and she is so high-profile, she is not afraid of being targeted by assassins again."
"Heh, what the hell are you calling us a 'secret mission'? These guys from the royal family really want to save face."
"You don't understand. For the royal family, face is much more important than life. But having said that, that woman is really a motherfucker, and the peach is so white that it makes my eyes dizzy. I can see it, eat it I really envy Captain Garr."
"Hey, I heard that this princess and our boss Gaer are only a couple in name. After all, although that princess Skadi is beautiful, she is probably no different from a monkey in the eyes of the troll."
"Hahaha"
"."
Tucao return Tucao, the crew is still very honest. As soon as the Skadi princesses showed up, they climbed on the mast one by one holding binoculars, their eyeballs almost popped out, and they spoke some nasty words from time to time.
In the cabin, Su Lun and Dr. Banks also looked out through the ventilation window, silently observing everything.
Dr. Banks' ostensible identity is just an inconspicuous pharmacist on board, and ordinary crew members don't even know that he is the actual controller of the team.
"It's good news that Garl the 'Frost Troll' didn't go to sea together. "
"The combat power of the Mafana Royal Mechanical Guard is extraordinary. It is enough to be an entire fleet without pirates. What's more, when it was assassinated last time, there was an assassin at the captain level. The Mafana Royal Guard did not Don't trust pirates."
"But having said that, their warships have undergone mechanical transformation, and the draft is very deep. At that time, as long as we avoid the range of the artillery, there is a great chance to increase the distance. However, I doubt that there are submarines under the water. If there is, it may be Trouble."
"Well. Let's see the situation and then act."
"."
Su Lun and Dr. Banks were discussing. Not long after, the princess' fleet also left the port slowly.
The pirate ship of their 19th squadron hangs at the end of the fleet, and they also set sail.
Su Lun had the detailed nautical chart drawn by Tani in his hand, which happened to come in handy.
Marking along the way, there are precise coordinates fed back to Qiantiao who has been waiting at sea for a long time.
Today's weather is fine and sunny.
Not long after, the fleet resorted to the chaotic devil sea surrounding Hastlin, and headed towards the direction of the four northern countries.
Holding the rune black umbrella in his hand, Su Lun paid close attention to the "Princess" not far away.
After perceiving it for so long, he finally determined something, and said to Dr. Banks beside him: "There are indeed submarines underwater, and it seems that there are more than one."
The tone is very calm, because this situation is also expected.
In a blink of an eye, he looked at the large black barrels of the large-caliber artillery again, with a half-smile expression on his face, "Now we have reached the uninhabited sea. If there is no accident, the princess should send someone here."
"yes."
Dr. Banks was thoughtful.
He looked at the direction of the sun, and said again: "Little friend Su Lun really guessed right, the fleet will sail in the direction of the 'Roman Country' in the northwest. In this way, our plan can be implemented smoothly. Yes How did you guess that?"
After listening to the inquiry, Su Lun explained, saying: "Mafa is a great empire, since it married a princess to a pirate and brought so many mechanical equipment and technologies, besides wanting to cause trouble for Lu Ying, There must be an exchange of interests.”
After a pause for joy, he said again: "Oleg started as a pirate, and he can come up with the equivalent trading capital, and only the 'Void Ruins'. So, this time, the "Princess Frost Moon" has only been married for a few days I was in a hurry to go to sea, the assassination was probably just an excuse, and more importantly, I wanted to see the ruins. Looking at it now, I suspect that the 'Void Ruins' may be somewhere in the four kingdoms of Beizhou."
Dr. Banks smiled and said, "Little friend Su Lun is thoughtful and thoughtful, very human."
"."
Hearing being praised, Su Lun shrugged noncommittally.
Based on the existing information, he didn't think it was difficult to speculate.
This is Lu Ying's rear area, and it is impossible for the fleet to go to Lu Ying's direction to die.
Going in the direction of Shanyin in the northeast, you will almost certainly have to pass through the Roxman Strait, where Mafa's submarine was intercepted and killed before. Most likely not to take the risk.
Going to the west, it is the unknown wild sea again. It's risky and meaningless.
Therefore, we can only go northwest.
The view of the sea is unlimited, and it is difficult to track, so we can only ambush.
Because they predicted the opponent's general course in advance, this also allowed them to arrive at the planned sea area ahead of time and wait.
Coincidentally, when the two were chatting, suddenly the harsh sound of snowflakes came from the communicator on the ship.
"Zizi."
"Zizi."
Dr. Banks immediately realized something, and said blankly: "The communicator has been interfered by a special magnetic field, and we can even send out the signal now. Those people should be coming."
"Um."
Su Lun also nodded.
Speaking of this, he used the communicator to ask: "Sister Qiantiao, are you in place? You can do it now."
As soon as these words came out, there were thousands of responses from the communicator: "I'll be there soon!"
The Mirror Organization's [Goblin Communicator] is easy to use. It communicates without distance restrictions, and is not limited by various weird magnetic fields.
After explaining, Su Lun looked into the distance with both eyes, and murmured: "I don't know if Tanny's 'unlucky guy cursed by the sea' halo is good or not."
Just after the communication was disturbed, on the main ship "Princess" in front, a royal guard wearing a mechanical armor suddenly soared from the deck.
The jet propulsion device gave the mechanical armor the ability to jump into the air for a short time. At a distance of several hundred meters, the mechanical boiler on the back of the armor was jetted a few times, and it landed on the deck of the 19th Division smoothly.
The arrogant mechanical knight didn't even look at the people on the deck, and announced in a deep voice: "His Royal Highness has an order to invite Colonel Banner to the main fleet to discuss important matters!"
"The Butcher" Banner could only respond: "Okay!"
In the captain's cabin, Su Lun watched all this through the window, and then looked at several frigates at the tail of the "Princess" in the distance.
Those muzzles were said to be behind the Azimuth Fleet, but they were actually aimed at the ships of the 19th Squadron.
It's not easy to slip away within range.
Moreover, the submarine on the bottom of the sea is also nearby. Under normal circumstances, there is no possibility of escape at all.
Banner received the order from the princess, and there was no reason to refuse.
But he dawdled and never disembarked.
"Hurry up! Her Royal Highness is still waiting."
The mechanical knight on the side kept urging.
This guy is not only here to subpoena, but also to supervise.
After a little delay, you can still find an excuse to fool the past. After a long delay, the messenger's face became more and more suspicious, and the atmosphere on the ship gradually became a little weird.
In the captain's cabin, Su Lun and Dr. Banks have not spoken, they are silently waiting for something.
Just then,
Sudden,
There was a sudden thunder in my ear!
"Kach~"
There was a flash of light in front of my eyes.
Looking at it again, a few nautical miles away, thunder flashed, and the sky seemed to be infested with ink, and it condensed into a large storm and thundercloud at an extremely fast speed.
The sea area affected by thunderclouds is getting wider and wider, and there is a trend of getting stronger and stronger.
But in an instant, the sky above the "Princess Fleet" quickly darkened.
The wind howled outside the window, the waves became bigger and bigger, and the entire ship swayed accordingly.
Look at them as if they are about to encounter a severe storm.
Not only was Su Lun not surprised when he saw this, but his eyes were delighted, and he almost blurted out: "Here we come!"
It is normal to encounter storms at sea.
But the storm in front of him was unusual.
Experienced navigators will judge the direction and scope of the storm through air pressure, temperature, and humidity. But it is definitely not like it is now, appearing out of thin air.
Seeing the storm, Su Lun narrowed his eyes slightly, and murmured, "Tani's talent is a bit special."
Su Lun also gained the absolute trust of Ta Ni because he temporarily solved the petrification problem of Ta Ni's mother.
Tani told him a secret that only he knew, that he would definitely encounter a storm when he went out to sea, but it was a high-probability event, not a certainty.
But if he gets hurt, then 100% yes, it will immediately cause a storm!
After hearing that he had this ability, Su Lun immediately thought of this battle plan.
If they escape out of thin air, they have no chance to escape out of range.
Even if you jump into the sea, those royal guards will definitely catch up
So, they need an excuse to leave the fleet.
And storms and waves are the best cover!
When the storm came, the communicator on the ship suddenly returned to normal.
Clearly the priority was to deal with the storm, not interrogation.
The commander of the main ship sent an order: "All ships be careful, there are strange ships approaching in the storm! Fill the artillery and prepare to sink!"
No one else knew about the plan except Suellen and Dr. Banks.
Everyone on the deck didn't know why, so they all looked into the distance, and sure enough, they saw a pirate ship riding the wind and waves under the cover of the storm.
No, not one!
Instead, it was densely packed with dozens of ships.
And a closer look at the sails of the ship in the storm was tattered, and the hull was full of holes, which looked extremely dilapidated. Under the flickering thunder light, those dilapidated ships were covered with a strange halo of light, like a ghost ship.
"Ghost Fleet!"
"Oh my god. We actually encountered a ghost fleet!"
"No, the ghost fleet is coming towards us, avoid it!"
"."
When everyone on the deck saw this scene, their expressions changed.
There are countless legends of "ghost ships" circulating in this sea, but almost every version is an ominous omen.
But no one noticed that the monocle on Su Lun's left eye in the captain's cabin was shining.
The cursed object [Robert's monocle] can create real illusions, and these ghost ships are naturally illusions.
Su Lun felt that since there was such a good storm environment, it was just right to have some ghost ships.
It can also cover up the approach of Qiantiao "Dawn Group".
The waves on the sea surface were getting bigger and bigger, with several meters of spray hitting the hull and shaking violently.
Now that the storm and the "Ghost Fleet" suddenly encountered, the communication officer naturally couldn't urge Banner to get off the ship.
In the face of nature, human beings seem so insignificant.
Sea ships can only sway with the waves, how can they drive in the original formation?
The ships of the 19th Squadron were also swaying, quietly getting further and further away.
The ghost fleet was obviously coming towards the "Princess Fleet", and the commander was also extremely decisive, and an order came from the communicator: "Fire!"
boom!
boom!
boom.
Hundreds of cannons fired together, and the cannons on the ship in front sprayed out tongues of fire, and the sound of the cannon fire even covered the thunder, which was deafening.
"It's now!"
At this time, Su Lun's pupils shrank suddenly, his hands and ten fingers grasped the void, and the silk thread was pulled suddenly, and the countless [war fog bombs] that were prepared to be on the ship were detonated instantly.
Artillery filling requires intervals, but the fog of war covers a large area in front of you in just a moment.
"Damn, what are you doing, want to rebel!"
From the deck, the messenger officer shouted angrily, but the voice suddenly stopped.
The second after Su Lun made his move, he took the black sickle in his hand and raised the knife, and a space crack cut off a human head.
When Su Lun made a move, Banner on the deck gave a decisive order, "Yang Fan, take the helm, and charge south! Everyone, cast the fog of war!"
Although the crew didn't understand what happened, they were almost all old men of the "Steam Party", and they had absolute trust in Banner. Hearing the order, one by one started to get busy in the mist.
On the surface of the sea, more and more [fog bombs] were projected, and the area of the fog was getting bigger and bigger.
"Squad Nineteen, what's going on with you!"
"Stop it, or we'll fire!"
"."
The commander's exasperated questioning sound came from the communicator.
Banner didn't respond, so they naturally guessed that they were going to escape.
Moreover, this escape is obviously tricky. As long as the people of Mafa are not stupid, they can immediately guess that they really have "neuromechanical technology" in their hands!
Now that he knows that there is technology, he will naturally not bombard it indiscriminately.
If the technician is killed, this top-secret technology that can't be found can really be missed.
The sound of the second round of artillery came to my ears very quickly. The movement was loud, and the trajectory of the shells could be heard. Most of them were fired from the muzzle too high and were fired towards the far room.
This is just a warning bombardment.
Seeing this, Su Lun also breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that the other party hadn't guessed that a round of artillery was sent.
Since they didn't dare to shell, they ignored it and sailed at full speed.
The defense and output of the mechanically modified warship far surpassed the pirate ships of the 19th Division by countless times, but the speed was only a big difference. Coupled with the fact that storms and waves disrupted the formation, this also made the distance between the two sides farther and farther.
The battle started, and Su Lun and Dr. Banks also came to the deck. The two stared at the rough sea, as if they wanted to catch something.
Since the ship can't catch up, then the submarine will definitely be sent.
Storms have much less impact on submarines in sea water.
Banks said in a deep voice: "The mechanical submarine should appear."
Everything is going according to plan, but then, the most dangerous situation is coming.
"Um."
Su Lun nodded, took out a few scrolls indifferently and threw them towards the water, clapped his hands, the Warlock Seal instantly condensed, purple space pattern appeared, and six glass jars appeared out of thin air.
"Click" the glass shattered, and several mechanical octopuses crashed into the water.
In seawater, Su Lun's [Spiritual Tentacles] can't be controlled too far away, so he can only sit back and wait for the enemy to come.
There was a strong wind on the sea, Su Lun was holding a black umbrella and wearing a raincoat, staring at the sea indifferently in the heavy rain.
And Dr. Banks on the side is also fully alert.
Although he doesn't like fighting, it doesn't mean he has no combat power. A mysterious force is isolated an inch away from the surface of his body, and the rain cannot touch his body.
"coming!"
Su Lun narrowed his eyes.
Because at this time, the souls of dozens of human beings under the sea entered the range of perception.
It seems that there is a high probability that it is not the "secret research base", but... capture it first!
Not long after, a submarine structure resembling a shark fin appeared on the surface of the sea, and a warning came from the communicator again: "Squadron 19, now order you to stop immediately, otherwise we will immediately sink your ship !"
Hearing the warning, Su Lun and Dr. Banks ignored it at all and continued to flee wildly.
They are sure that the other party will not shoot and sink, so now they can run as far as they can.
The greater the distance from the "Princess" behind him, the smaller the danger.
As they expected, they warned again and again, but the submarine did not launch a torpedo once, and could only chase after it.
Su Lun wasn't sure if the submarine chasing them had high-level combat power, so he didn't do anything.
He wanted to drag it until Chijo was close enough.
However, Su Lun still underestimated Mafa's technology.
Those guys didn't dare to launch torpedoes to destroy them, but launched something more exaggerated than torpedoes.
There was a sound of "whoosh~".
What looked like a torpedo burst out of the water.
Su Lun saw the trajectory of the shell.
But he only thought it was a warning launch.
Because the torpedo's trajectory was not aimed at their ship at all, and it seemed to deviate by tens of meters.
But in the next moment, the torpedo came out of the water, and with a "bang", it suddenly exploded in the air.
There was a flash of fire, but there was no violent explosion, but a wave of air visible to the naked eye centered on the explosion, and then expanded like lightning.
The shock wave swept across the entire sea in an instant, and the ships of the 19th Fleet were also affected, and all the bulletproof glass was shattered into slag.
Su Lun judged the explosion in advance, and Rune King Kong was ready to defend. But when the shock wave came down, what surprised him was that the shock wave had no effect on the human body?
Only then did he realize that this was not an ordinary gunpowder bomb, but a "shock bomb"!
"This shell will directly destroy the ship."
Su Lun had a strange expression on his face.
It was the first time he knew that Marfa had such shells.
The sea-going ships of the Nineteenth Fleet are ordinary pirate ships, regardless of their materials, enchantments, and coatings. After being hit by the "shock bomb", the hull swayed a few times in the waves, and the sound of "click" and "click" wood breaking came from everywhere on the hull.
"Boss, it's bad, the mast is broken!"
"Boss, the cabin is flooded!"
"Oh my God, our ship is falling apart. Let the lifeboats go!"
"."
There was chaos on board.
In the communicator, bad news came one after another.
Without anyone reporting, Su Lun had already sensed that the hull was capsizing, and it looked like it was about to sink into the sea soon.
He didn't panic at all, and jumped into the sea.
At this moment, they already sensed that the submarine was very close to them!
Su Lun's eight-armed spider lance was controlled at the same time, and the six mechanical octopuses hidden in the sea were activated instantly.
The tentacles of an octopus can move tens of meters in the water. The six mechanical octopuses swam close to the submarine in a blink of an eye, and then firmly stuck to the hull with the help of the suction cups on the tentacles.
Then, the various tools on the tentacles began to cut the hull.
The Marfa sergeant on the submarine was just rejoicing that it was sunk by a cannonball, and was about to catch those people floating in the sea, when he suddenly sensed a foreign object attached to the hull!
Just like what Su Lun encountered last time in the Rockman Strait, the mechanical octopus has specially designed cutting tools, and the people on the submarine dare not fight in the water and float up quickly.
As soon as the hull emerged from the water, more than a dozen sergeants in mechanical armor came out of the submarine cabin, trying to deal with the mechanical octopus attached to the ship.
However, how could Su Lun make them happy?
He manipulated six mechanical octopuses to entangle six mechanical warriors in an instant.
The mechanical octopus already restrained the mechanical armor. After being absorbed by the tentacles, there was almost no way for the low-level mechanical armor to get rid of it. In the end, it can only be slowly dismantled and killed by the octopus.
However, the opponent is also a well-trained professional soldier.
It was the moment when the six octopuses clung to the six mechas, and the other people who were not caught in the attack raised their swords, giant hammers, and saws in their hands. Without the slightest intention of throwing a mouse, they slashed over.
Look at that posture, even if you don't hesitate to kill your companions, you must get rid of these mechanical octopuses.
"So decisive!"
Su Lun sighed in his heart.
I also guessed that these guys may know the existence of the "mechanical octopus" and have corresponding countermeasures.
Otherwise, it would never be so decisive.
But Su Lun only had six finished octopuses in his hands, so naturally he wouldn't just sit and watch the mechanical octopus he managed to get killed.
Moreover, since he chose to do it, he already had his own set of tactics.
There is also a cursed item in his hand that is highly compatible with Mechanical Delirium, and that is - [Hypnos' Black Scythe of Night]!
Octopuses have many tentacles, and the most important combat power is "control". A few tentacles controlled the target, and a few were attached to the hull, making the mechanical warrior almost unable to move.
And Black Scythe likes to cut fixed targets the most!
Su Lun hid behind the wreckage of the ship in the distance. Seeing that the octopus had controlled the target, he decisively raised the black scythe to "swipe" "swipe" "swipe". That's six knives per second.
If it was controlled by living corpses before, a best living corpse could barely cut three or five knives before it would collapse.
But now that his level of comprehension of the law of death has reached the requirements for use, this level of slashing does not need to worry about any curse backlash, and he just raises his hand.
It was these six knives that cut down sharply, and six space cracks appeared not far away.
The [Lieutenant-Colonel] and [Colonel-level] mechanical armors, which are not easy to break even for fifth- and sixth-tier professionals, were instantly severed from the neck.
Then four of them triggered the self-destruct device, and exploded into flames.
Su Lun looked at it with heartache, and thought: "It's a pity to destroy yourself."
Each Marfa Officer Class Warframe has a unique self-destruct mechanism. It will not be in the same position, if it is destroyed by external force, it will self-destruct immediately when it is triggered.
The remaining two did not explode, probably because the trigger device happened not to be on the neck.
Su Lun watched his "trophies" being destroyed. Although his flesh hurt, his hands were not idle.
Because the mechanical octopus is controlled by him alone, there is no problem of cooperation at all.
It was after he killed the six Marfa warriors that the mechanical octopus escaped without a gap, and absorbed the other six again.
Then it was the same tactics, adsorption, control, and the black sickle slashed a few times.
Using this method, Su Lun killed more than a dozen mech fighters who left the warehouse in a very short period of time.
The rhythm of this battle is almost exactly the same as what he deduced before.
But Su Lun didn't underestimate the enemy at all. He looked at the mechanical submarine that was about to be cut open in front of him with serious eyes.
Because he knows that the toughest opponent is about to come out!
Su Lun has also obtained some information in the past few days. The highest commander of the conventional submarines of the Marfa Empire is generally the rank of "Brigadier General".
It also means that it is equipped with [Brigadier-level] mechanical armor, which is about the combat power of a fifth-level professional.
And [Brigadier General Class] is a watershed for Marfa military mechanical armor.
Under this specification, almost all are "physical attacks", and Su Lun's methods can almost kill them easily;
And the battle armor above has some very magical abilities. Such as [Major General level] battle armor, even in the battle of top professions, it has a very strong performance.
This "Princess Frost Moon" has a special status. Su Lun is not sure what the rank of the submarine captain in her escort is, but he guesses that it is very likely to be a "high match".
as expected.
Even after Su Lun killed more than a dozen people who left the warehouse in two or three encounters, the people in the cabin responded and returned, and immediately more than a dozen mecha fighters rushed out.
This time, a strong enemy came!
The one who rushed to the front was a guy in a fiery red mechanical armor. Su Lun saw his military rank at a glance, as well as the model marked on the armor - [Major General-level Magic Blade X1 Mechanical Armor]!
"It really is a 'major general'!"
Su Lun was very cautious in his heart.
In other words, this guy has at least the combat power of a regular sixth-tier professional.
As soon as this guy showed up, he pulled out a mechanical long knife with magma flowing in his hand.
The name displayed in the appraisal is [Magic Hot Molten Magma Python Knife]!
Before Su Lun had time to think about it, he watched this guy raise his hand and cut it off with a single blow.
It was a miraculous scene, the scarlet long knife didn't cut it, but softened like a whip, and "pulled" towards a mechanical octopus not far away!
"whip?"
Su Lun's expression changed suddenly.
There was a sound of "swish" through the air, and before he had time to make the mechanical octopus dodge, the red long whip hit the octopus.
It was like metal meeting strong acid, Su Lun watched helplessly as the whip rapidly corroded the enchanted coating on the mechanical tentacles of the octopus, and then quickly corroded the runes.
After struggling for a moment, Su Lun could no longer perceive the nerve signals fed back by that part of the octopus' limbs.
With this pumping, a mechanical octopus was directly "disabled".
"It's so strong."
Su Lun watched his eyelids twitch.
He only has six octopuses, how can he bear such a toss?
Even after this meeting, he controlled the other five octopuses and jumped into the water without daring to fight.
At almost the same time, Su Lun looked at the "major general" and shot his gaze over.
Obviously, this guy saw Su Lun beheading his subordinates with a black scythe just now in the ship, and knew that this was the "black hand behind the scenes".
Su Lun's scalp tingled from being stared at.
Not to mention whether you can fight or not, even if you can fight, you will definitely suffer heavy losses.
He didn't want the little wealth he had accumulated with great difficulty to be wasted on this kind of battle.
Just trying to avoid its edge, at this moment, there was a blast of air on the sea in the distance, "pop", "pop", "pop".
Looking sideways, a swordsman with the momentum of wind and thunder came galloping from the sea.
Behind her, a sea of thunder surged wildly, and the three thunder drums on the phantom of the six-armed Rakshasa stirred up the sky with thunder, and the momentum was exaggerated to the extreme.
Who is it if it is not Qiantiao?
Su Lun breathed a sigh of relief, and muttered, "It's finally here."
