Chapter 2567 Destroying the Ship with One Strike
Hyrule didn't understand why John Andre was so unlucky that he was struck by lightning for no reason.
She didn't bother to think about the reason behind it, she came back to her senses after a moment of stunned, seized this "bestowed opportunity" in the literal sense, stepped on the wooden barrel to avoid the charged water spreading on the deck, and jumped towards it. Opponents, swinging swords with both hands to sweep!
The strong sword energy came at him, and Andre hurriedly held the rapier in his mouth, freed his hands to grab the sail rope above his head, and pulled his body to rise into the air, avoiding the sweep of the giant sword by a small margin, shaking the sail rope to follow the trend Swinging forward, a series of not-so-graceful somersaults flew over Hyrule's head and onto the high yard.
Before the female swordsman came to kill him, Andre quickly rubbed his numb calf, and at the same time looked up at the dark clouds brewing thunder and lightning above his head, his eyes revealing inner tension and confusion.
Until now, he still couldn't be sure whether the lightning strike just now was just a coincidence, or someone was secretly casting a spell.
John Andre's question was quickly answered.
Just a few seconds after he was struck by lightning, another thunderstorm crashed down. This time, it was Patrick Ferguson who was raising his gun to confront Holden.
The third thunderstorm blasted towards Enfield Valli who was fighting the titan great ape in the sea.
The giant bear's broad back was hit by the lightning, and it couldn't help trembling all over, and a large area of its snow-white fur was scorched.
King Kong took the opportunity to pounce on it, punched the giant bear out of the sea and flew upside down, slammed into the side of the "Hunter", almost knocking the iron-clad warship over.
The three of us were struck by lightning one after another. Obviously, this was no coincidence!
The sorceress Circe Helen put off her pursuit of Kate, lowered her flight altitude, and hastily cast a spell to bless herself and her companions with a "group anti-electric barrier".
Seeing her actions in the mirror, Qiao An sneered silently, and inspired a "power of myth", combined with the path ability "advanced energy replacement", switched the "thunderstorm" of the electric attribute to the "punishment" of the shining attribute, boom To the sorceress who has the "Higher Tentacle Seal".
A beam of light covered Circe's head, piercing her like a golden spear thrown from the air, screaming and falling, and fell heavily on the deck of the "Hunter".
At this time, Bannister Winthrop also sensed that the situation was not good. He swung his sword to force Captain Green back, and blew the horn to urge Andre, Ferguson, Enfield, Circe, and the Feizhen sailors to withdraw their warships.
The mysterious enemy lurking in the dark makes Bannister feel a huge threat. Under the current situation, it is impractical to try to capture the enemy ship, so he asks the captain to order the guns to sink the "Herlinghorn" directly!
The "Hunter" opened its port side gun port, and ten naval guns pointed at the "Herlinghorn" at the same time, ready to fire.
At this time, the "Hunter" and the "Herlinghorn" were still connected by a hook and lock, and the two ships remained parallel, and the distance between them was no more than a hundred feet.
The Hunter fired at such close range that it was almost impossible to miss, and a round of shelling could completely destroy the Herlinghorn.
Of course, the "Hunter" itself will bear certain risks if it fires at such a short distance, but Bannister can't care about that much anymore. Shot out to search for enemies lurking in the dark.
"Dad! Hurry up and enter the spirit world by boat and avoid the shelling!"
At a critical juncture, Hailaer eagerly reminded his father.
"It's useless." Captain Green shook his head bitterly, "Enemy ships can also sail in the spirit world, and they will still chase them."
"Want to shoot? That's not okay."
Joan looked at the row of black cannon muzzles in the mirror, and gently shook the rusty monster tentacles wrapped in the eye stems, using it as the material for casting the spell, and remotely manifested the psionic version of "Rust Spell" through the mirror.
The 8-ring "corrosion spell" specializes in destroying metal products, and the killing radius is as wide as 80 feet.
The "Hunter" destroyer is only 240 feet long from end to end. Joan's "corrosion technique" blasted over, covering at least two-thirds of the hull. The ship's cannons and steam engines are all installed in this area, including The armor belt on the outside of the ship's side was all rusted and decayed in an instant.
The ten cannons erected on the port side were all turned into a pool of mud-like rust before they had time to fire, and even the weapons and metal coins carried by the gunner turned into rust slag, and they were dumbfounded for a while.
The "Hunter", which has lost its steam power, firepower and armor, has degenerated from a state-of-the-art magic destroyer into a clumsy sailing ship. This unimaginable transformation is too surreal. Bannister, Andre, Ferguson, En Field and Circe couldn't help but look at each other, wondering if they were in a dream.
Immediately afterwards, even weirder events than this took place before their eyes.
In the lair of the "Magic Eye Arcanist", Joan hovered opposite the "remote viewing mirror", holding a magnet with his eye stem, and cast a supermagic with "Spell Expansion" on the "Herlinghorn" in the mirror. Go to the "Complete Repair" of the 8th ring to repair this damaged magic ship.
The "Herlinghorn" is essentially a super-giant structure. Under normal circumstances, the "full restoration" can only repair local damage to the hull. However, after being promoted to the 8th ring by Joan, the magic power of the "full restoration" The upper limit has been greatly increased, and all the damage on the entire ship can be repaired as new with one cast!
The golden light swept across the "Herlinghorn", and the deck that had been pierced by the meteor before healed the gaps and cracks and returned to smoothness. The broken mainmast also grew a brand new mast like a bamboo shoot after rain.
Captain Green ordered the sailors to cut off the hook lock and raise the sail again. The "Herlinghorn" regained its power, left the severely damaged "Hunter" destroyer behind, and quickly left the battle area.
Bannister and the others stood on the bow of the "Hunter", watched helplessly as the prey drifted away and disappeared at the end of the western sea horizon, their expressions were ugly.
Now what they are most afraid of is not the "Herlinghorn", but the mysterious figure with unfathomable strength who secretly rescued the "Herlinghorn".
Although no one confessed publicly, Bannister, Andre, Ferguson, Enfield, and Circe all knew that if the mysterious figure wanted to destroy the "Hunter", it would be a matter of little effort.
Joan didn't completely destroy the "Hunter", not because of mercilessness, but because the "mythical alarm" set in the lair was suddenly triggered, and she had to prioritize the threats facing her own territory and temporarily ignore the surface world 's business.
The mental signal from the "Mythical Alarm" can only be sensed by Joan herself, reminding her that many strange and hostile creatures are trying to invade her territory.
