Chapter 548 Ambushes and Counter-Killing
Su Lun returned to the Eternal Night after inquiring about the enemy's situation.
The target of the magic airship castle is too big, and it can't fly fast, so there is no need to deliberately follow it, just follow it all the way.
Just like they followed the two major pirate groups in the West Sea and South China Sea from Luying all the way before, the Dawn Group followed far behind.
The people from the plane of the gods chose to push across the way, which also saved Su Lun and the others a lot of trouble.
The target of the magic airship is too big, and the magical beasts and sea beasts within a few nautical miles will be disturbed. Powerful monsters will try it out, and then they will be turned into corpses by the Legion of Ten Thousands; the weak ones will stay far away.
In short, the Eternal Night followed those people without encountering any threatening monsters along the way.
After a few days.
The Eternal Night was sailing unhurriedly on the sea surface, and it was not difficult to track it, but it did not find any opportunity to attack.
Everyone in the dawn regiment also had a few days of stability.
But none of them took it lightly, because they knew that a fierce battle was bound to come.
This day, evening.
The weather was not very good, and there was a thicker and thicker fog floating on the sea.
The visibility in this kind of weather is not high, which is very suitable for all kinds of hunters who are good at sneaking.
Everyone on the deck of the Eternal Night was also busy.
Dora is instructing the mechanics to install some new mechanical devices on the ship. These black-tech mechanical parts will be used in the [Sky War Fortress] in the future. Helping modify some structures of the hull; the gunner is maintaining the cannon; Chijo and a group of swordsmen are also busy practicing swords
A lively scene on board.
When Su Lun heard the summons, he came to the deck.
As soon as Tani saw him, he waved from the mast and called, "Mr. Sullen, here!"
Su Lun looked up and jumped onto the mast.
Not only Tani on the mast, but also Barrett and several battleship staff officers, saw Su Lun coming, and they all said hello.
They all looked at the fog around them solemnly.
Originally, it was very common to encounter foggy areas during long-distance voyages, but there is obviously something tricky here.
Tani said directly: "This fog is the exhaust gas swallowed by high-level mirage beasts. It has a special magnetic field, which can make the navigation pointer point in the wrong direction. There is nothing strange about it. But there is one thing that is unusual. The fish in the sea were disturbed. There should be a particularly powerful existence. My mother also said that there is a magical breath mixed in the wind."
"Yeah. Thank you for your hard work."
Su Lun nodded when he heard this.
He looked at the fog in the distance with deep eyes.
With Tany and his mother on board, the Eternal Night sailed like a godsend.
Both mother and child have very rare perception abilities, and the range of perception at sea is very wide.
There are many means that can hide from human perception, but they cannot hide from animals in nature. Tani's perception ability to listen to the voice of sea beasts is particularly special. There is also the fluctuation of magic power in the wind, which is a fluctuation that cannot be perceived by other means, but Friedel can accurately capture it.
Even if the magicians have tried their best to hide it, unless they don't use any magic, these flaws cannot be hidden anyway.
During the naval battle, the existence of Taney's mother and son gave the Dawn Corps an unparalleled intelligence priority.
This is crucial!
Su Lun pondered for a moment, and his tone was not surprised, "It seems that those people from the plane of the gods are preparing to ambush."
Barrett and several staff officers on the side nodded when they heard this, which was the same as their judgment.
Upon hearing this, Barrett asked, "Are we going to continue on this course?"
Su Lun pondered for a moment, then asked, "What do you think?"
When this question was asked, everyone had slightly different expressions.
The Dawn Group wanted to plot against the Ten Thousand Law Groups in the Celestial Plane, so why didn't the enemy want to completely solve their troubles.
Although the waters of the Kingdom of Ancient Dragons are dangerous, facts have proved that the threat of the Dawn Group is even greater.
In several conflicts, the Little Dawn Regiment caused heavy losses to the people of the Celestial Plane.
No matter how Su Lun feels about himself, he will definitely choose to solve this trouble first.
"The enemy's magic airship has a big target, and it's not easy to hide. If they want to intercept and kill us, they will definitely choose to ambush. If I'm not wrong, there should be at least a ten-thousand-man corporation in front. Moreover, the opponent's tactics must be aimed at us The ability has been exposed now. There is a high probability that they will use the legion magic to freeze the sea and directly restrict our sea ships."
"If there are more than 20,000 people, plan B may be used."
"."
Su Lun knew almost everything about the legion tactics of the Celestial Plane.
In such a situation, he can almost predict all the plans of the other party.
But there are also things beyond calculation. For example, prophecy, or the power of gods, things that cannot be calculated by human beings.
These uncertainties are where the risks lie.
Because they knew that the opponent would set up an ambush, the top management of the Dawn Regiment had recalled and studied in detail how to fight the battle, and the risks had naturally been calculated in detail.
"agree!"
Hearing this, several of Barrett's staff members nodded unanimously, thinking that they could give it a try.
When they came to the waters of the Dragon Kingdom, everyone was already psychologically prepared to deal with the risks.
You can't hide from it.
Those who don't solve the Celestial Plane will be at greater risk.
It is ten thousand times better to take the initiative to solve some troubles, but to be approached by the enemy and passively fight.
What's more, the current situation of the Dawn Corps is not without the power to fight even if it is facing a corporation of tens of thousands of people.
There is also "Dragon Hunter" Bartolo, the sword god on board, "Duke of Blood" Wordsworth has also successfully advanced to the eighth level, and there is No. 19. With top-level combat power, he is not afraid of being beheaded.
The remaining combat power, such as the top artillery on the ship, is definitely the nemesis of the legion. As long as the ammunition is not spared, the output alone is not inferior to legion magic.
What's more, Su Lun has backup means.
The staff group made a decision, and as soon as the order was issued, everyone in the dawn group immediately and efficiently executed it.
As soon as they heard that they were preparing for battle, the crew began to inspect various shipboard equipment and load ammunition.
Once a battle is triggered, they can react immediately.
Not long after, the fog around the Eternal Night became thicker and thicker.
Su Lun and a group of perception department professionals tried their best to release their perception, but no surprises were found.
Only Tani relied on the information fed back by the fish from time to time, as well as the gifted perception of his mother's Naga tribe, to determine the surrounding situation.
"Northwest, southeast, northeast, these directions have found anomalies"
"After we came over, there were also people blocking the retreat. We should have entered the enemy's encirclement."
"."
As Su Lun listened, he calculated blankly.
These subtle intelligences may not be audible to others, but to his ears, they are a set of standard tactical arrangements.
The magicians of the Celestial Plane fought all the year round, and gradually summed up their own set of perfect combat methods against the enemy. There are also systematic teaching courses in the advanced command courses of the Magician Academy.
Although the right time and place will temporarily change the tactics, those who are really proficient in those tactics can immediately reverse the opponent's strength, layout and tactics according to the situation.
But even if you know it, there is almost no loophole to take advantage of.
Because this is a tactic that has been perfected after countless times.
Unless you avoid it in advance, once you are surrounded, you can only fight.
Su Lun listened to more and more information, and before he saw the enemy, he had already judged a lot of important information, and muttered: "It seems that there are three ten thousand people's corporations here. Tsk tsk, really Enough to look down on us."
He decisively ordered through the Dawn Regiment's internal communicator: "Everyone, prepare to implement Plan B."
A response came from the communicator immediately, and all the commanders responded in unison: "Yes!"
At the moment, Su Lun's mind is like a 3D sand table, and the enemy's ambush location has been completely marked through the data.
After calculating the coordinates in detail, he ordered again: "Dora, the artillery regiment is ready to lock the target coordinates. 12.3° north by west, about 5,300 meters; 17.4° east by north, 4,700 meters; due north, 6,500 meters; three fixed positions Coordinate heavy fire coverage, strive for the first round of artillery to break the enemy camp!"
Dora responded immediately: "Yes!"
After a few breaths, the command feedback came again from the communicator: "The angle of the artillery has been adjusted, the coordinates have been locked, the ammunition has been loaded, and it can be fired at any time!"
As soon as these words came out, there was a dead silence in the communicator, and there was no sound on board.
Everyone is waiting for Su Lun's order.
Fog shrouded the surroundings of the hull, and the huge black sailboat seemed to be sailing into the mouth of a fog-breathing monster.
The chill atmosphere gradually permeated.
On the deck, some low-ranking crew members were sweating nervously while holding their weapons.
Now that they have entered the enemy's encirclement, everyone has no luck, only one battle.
At this moment, Su Lun's eyes flashed sharply, and he ordered directly: "Fire!"
In an instant, hundreds of cannons on both sides of the Eternal Night's hull, and several super-large caliber God-killing cannons on the deck spewed tongues of flame.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"."
The sound of cannons was connected, deafening.
Those guys on the Celestial Plane saw Li Mingtuan foolishly crashing into the encirclement, so they naturally thought that their concealment methods had not been discovered.
In order to hide their aura, they didn't even use any advanced magic barriers.
And this is the biggest flaw!
A flaw that is enough to cause serious damage to the ten thousand corporation!
Su Lun knew everything about the "three regiments encircling one" tactic, including troop strength, position, and the most suitable time to attack
So when the Liming regiment had just entered the encirclement, but before they could go deep enough, he ordered an attack.
This distance is beyond the reach of magicians, but the range of the artillery is completely within reach.
Su Lun also knew that only the first round of artillery had the best killing effect, so he was not stingy with ammunition at all, and all kinds of high-level alchemy bullets worth millions were poured out like money.
After so many long battles, he has already summed up his experience.
As long as you can win, you will definitely gain more than you pay.
First round, second round, third round.
In a very short period of time, the artillery poured fire on the targets within the range.
Can't see the target, it's all due to Dora's accurate calculation of the artillery trajectory, and then blind shooting.
However, those shells seemed to have eyes, and they hit with precision.
It was exactly the same as Su Lun's calculation.
Three artillery targets, including two deserted islands and a camp temporarily built by the sea. Originally, it was covered by very clever Legion stealth magic devices, even if high-level professionals got close, they would not be able to detect it.
Unexpectedly, it was the magicians of the god plane who thought they were perfect in hiding, but were caught off guard by this round of artillery.
"Boom", "Boom", "Boom".
The sound of artillery on the Eternal Night was as dense as a thunderstorm, and just the shock wave from the cannonballs stunned a large number of sea fish in the nearby sea.
And near the three coordinates where the shell landed, a monstrous flame exploded.
Thousands of alchemy bombs fell to the ground, no less than thousands of seventh- and eighth-level spells were released at the same time, and they exploded into one piece.
The last time it was a long-distance bombing of the ship, those magicians may not feel it. This time it was a short-distance bombing of the unsuspecting camp, and the magicians were immediately disgraced and suffered heavy casualties.
This round of artillery alone killed at least 10 to 20% of the magicians and injured countless people.
But after all, it is a 10,000-person corporation with rich combat experience, and their response is extremely fast. The moment the cannon rang, the commander knew he had been discovered, and all kinds of magical restrictions poured out instantly.
"Damn it, how did you get discovered? Don't worry, carry out the siege according to the plan of the original force!"
"Ice mass, freeze the sea immediately!"
"yes!"
"."
All kinds of legion magic tools and defensive magic were fired instantly. After the first round of artillery, the three temporary camps were completely covered. The subsequent shells fell again, and the casualties caused were much smaller.
But even so, this is a loss that several million people corporations have never encountered. They have never lost 20% of their troops in any previous battle without even seeing the enemy.
Suddenly it makes people feel weird.
How was it discovered?
Moreover, if the enemy discovered the ambush in advance, why did they come in?
Several eighth-level magicians in charge turned blue with anger.
But things have come to this point, there is no other choice but to fight according to plan.
After the legion magic tower lights up, the legion magic is also released one by one.
The fog on the sea is an obstacle to the dawn group, and it is also an obstacle to the magicians.
Just a moment after the artillery sounded, a gust of wind blew in and dispersed the fog in an instant.
Because it was already evening and the light was not enough, the magicians also illuminated the sky with various flashes.
For a time, the field of vision suddenly opened up.
On the surface of the sea, everyone on the Eternal Night knew that they had hit the target when they saw the warm yellow light of the legion's magic shield lit up at the landing coordinates of the shell. Everyone cheered.
A magician without legion defense is as fragile as paper under the artillery. That round of artillery must have killed many enemies. At least the ammo money is worth it.
However, it didn't take long before the frozen sound of "click" and "click" suddenly sounded in everyone's ears.
Observers on several watchtowers on the top of the mast issued a warning at the same time: "Attention everyone, the sea is frozen!"
Su Lun and Barrett had been standing on the mast a long time ago, watching the white sea surface spread like a tide in the distance, each of them had a dignified expression, but they were not surprised.
Qian Tiao lazily leaned on the mast, but the accumulated sword energy faintly overflowed and could not be stopped.
Looking at the frozen sea, instead of being afraid, she muttered with a fighting spirit on her face: "Hey, Su Lun~ You guessed it right, these guys really chose the frozen sea."
Su Lun couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this, and complained in his heart: You fell asleep when I asked you to come to the meeting. Now everyone knows, but you alone don't know.
But he also responded: "Because they don't control our sea ships, their large forces can't catch up at all."
The speed of a Neptune-class battleship like the Yong Ye is the fastest of any sea ship, and it is absolutely impossible for those guys in the plane of the gods to chase after them with a large force.
Therefore, only by restricting the departure of ships can we catch them all.
And it doesn't take much effort to freeze the sea with legion magic, and the probability of using it is almost 100%.
Su Lun knew those tactics very well, and it was normal to be able to guess them.
Just when a few people were chatting, the white line on the sea in the distance had already spread over. The ice was coming from all directions, and the Eternal Night had nowhere to escape.
There was a sudden bang and vibration, and the Eternal Night was instantly frozen.
Hoarfrost spread from the sea to the hull, as if putting a white gauze on the black sailboat.
The surrounding air temperature plummeted by dozens of degrees, and the warm sea breeze instantly became chilly and biting.
Everyone looked down, and the ice layer was getting thicker and thicker, and there was no possibility of breaking through.
However, although the ship could not move, the artillery continued to fire.
The two sides started a long-distance confrontation.
But this distance is super favorable for the Dawn Mission.
Artillery provides easy and precise fire coverage.
But for a magician, it is already the limit of casting spells. Even with the blessing of the Legion Magic Tool, the power of magic is greatly reduced.
Moreover, although the Magic Legion is powerful, but in terms of long-distance bombardment, the tireless artillery and alchemy bullets are much more efficient than magicians rubbing magic with their hands.
Because of the intensive firepower suppression, the magic group of 30,000 people had to support their magic shields at all times, and they couldn't rush in quickly.
This gave everyone in the dawn group enough time to respond.
Although there were many enemies, they did not gain the upper hand for a while.
Three ten thousand legal groups are equivalent to three ninth-level combat powers. For the current Liming group, they are not enemies that can be resisted head-on.
But everyone on the deck did not panic at all.
Because at least until now, everything that happened was within the expectations.
Seeing that the enemy had begun to encircle him, Su Lun said to everyone on the deck, "Put the bait and activate the alchemy array!"
"yes!"
Someone on the deck responded in unison.
The eight-pointed star alchemy array had been arranged by eight sixth-level alchemists. Upon hearing Su Lun's order, they immediately activated the alchemy array.
The hot white light lit up, and Su Lun threw another piece of bloody flesh into the formation.
It's not other meat, it's just part of the corpse of the sixth-order silver dragon that was collected in Eklunsa, the capital of the silver dragon king.
This alchemy formation is also useless, the only function is to diffuse the smell over a long distance.
That's right!
Su Lun's "Plan B" is to divert trouble and kill people with a knife!
They chose to break into the encirclement in order to seriously injure the people on the plane of the gods.
Now that the teleportation array on Rainbow Island no longer exists, these guys on the plane of the gods are deader, less, and less threatening.
If it is a corporation of ten thousand people, the Liming Group is going to take it directly.
But now there are three, either escape, or can only find foreign aid.
If he could lure the eighth-level silver dragon, Su Lun felt that the three ten-thousand-man corporations would probably be hit hard. At that time, there will definitely be an opportunity for the two powers to compete.
There is a certain element of gambling in this plan, because Su Lun is not sure where the silver dragon is, nor is it sure that it will come.
But nothing too risky.
Even if you can't attract the silver dragon, it doesn't matter.
They were all about to escape anyway.
Because he still has a small void realm,
He knew that people on the plane of the gods must need intelligence support to formulate battle plans.
The enemy arranged for a corps of 30,000 people to ambush Liming, which was already a high-level match for "safety".
But the enemy still has a piece of information that they haven't grasped, that is, Su Lun can directly insert the Eternal Night into the small void, and then teleport away.
so.
From the very beginning, the tactic of restricting sea ships by freezing the sea surface had no effect at all.
Those guys on the plane of the gods probably thought that they had controlled the boat of the Dawn Regiment on the ice, and everything would be fine.
So they adjusted the encirclement formation without haste, and approached slowly against the artillery fire, seeking victory steadily.
This did reduce casualties, but it also gave the Dawn Corps more time to release their bait.
Su Lun and a group of high-level fighters from the Dawn Regiment also cooperated with them in acting, staged a plot of leading the team to charge and prepare to break through.
However, since it was an ambush, the Ten Thousand Man Corps would naturally not leave any chance.
They chose to charge at weak points many times, but the opponent held them back at all costs, so that the Liming regiment had no chance to escape with the large force.
But seeing the fierce battle, the Dawn Regiment did not actually suffer much loss.
Except for Qiantiao and a few itchy high-level battles, most of the other movements came from the artillery battle.
There are also some black technologies that have been used one after another, such as [Magic Energy Laser Cannon], [Large Caliber Annihilation Cannon], [Particle Hole Piercing Cannon].
It is rare to have such a suitable enemy for training. All kinds of laboratory products for magic prohibition have been tested in this battle.
Some new gear works wonders, and some doesn't.
But in the end, after the actual test, we will know where the shortcomings are, and then we will have feedback data to improve.
It was these War Workshop mechanics who created these black technologies and bought too much time for the Dawn Corps.
The two sides fought like this for more than half an hour.
Seeing that the ambush circle is getting closer and closer, the two sides have already started small-scale hand-to-hand combat.
Suddenly, an angry dragon roar came from far away in the field of vision.
Looking at the familiar silver figure in the sky, Su Lun was delighted: "It's finally here!"
The rest of the dawn group were also delighted when they saw it.
Silver Dragon is here, it is Plan C.
This will double their results several times!
