Chapter 394 Seizing the Ship by Force
PS. This picture is a bit watery, the content is as the title says
A few days later, Innocence City.
The war in the East Wasteland is getting more and more intense, and Innocence City has accumulated a large number of soldiers and mercenaries from the Southern Continent.
The city is getting more and more prosperous and lively.
Groups of soldiers can be seen everywhere on the streets, and the notice boards of taverns are also full of wanted posters.
The cadres of the Rebel Dragon Army, including Aragorn, are already frequent visitors on the wanted posters, and the mercenaries have long been accustomed to it. But looking at the last two new faces on the row of S-level wanted posters, passers-by also pointed curiously from time to time.
"Oh, the rebels of the Dragon Army actually came to the East Wilderness. What are they trying to do?"
"Who knows? There was a little commotion at the dock not long ago, and the bodies are still hanging on the gallows over there."
"What's wrong with these two newcomers? They are actually qualified to be rewarded on par with the cadres of the Rebel Dragon Army?"
"Such a high bounty, and the bounty order was issued by the Holy See Pope himself. If you really catch them, you will make a fortune."
"."
Downing Street is still full of lights and wine, with a constant flow of people coming and going, and it is very lively.
On the street, a long line of wounded slaves were dragged away listlessly.
They wore slave collars around their necks and their feet were pierced by a string of iron chains. When they walked, they made a crisp sound.
No one noticed that among this group of war slaves, a bare-chested bearded strong man glanced at the bounty orders everywhere on the street, and a barely perceptible smile appeared in his eyes.
This was none other than Ji Xun in disguise.
No one would have thought that this S-level bounty wanted by the Holy See would dare to lurk so boldly under the nose of the Iris Corps.
Before, Ji Xun and the people of the Revolutionary Army had sneaked into the East Wilderness by pretending to be mercenaries or soldiers of the three kingdoms.
But this trick has been used many times, and the people of the Southern Continent have now taken targeted precautions.
Not only is the identity verification procedure for boarding more complicated, but some code words have also been added between the soldiers to prevent identity replacement.
After Ji Xun returned to the Innocence City, he found that the original plan was very risky, so he gave up the idea.
He was more familiar with the Innocence City than the people of the Rebel Dragon Army. After a little inquiries, he quickly found a second plan.
That is, it is like this now, mixing in with the captured war slaves.
Now the high-level card masters caught in the East Wilderness are almost not executed. The development of the ruins of the Old Continent now requires a large number of cannon fodder, so slaves are transported to the Old Continent almost every day.
It just so happened that there were several sixth-level card masters among the slaves detained in the city.
Ji Xun replaced the identity of one of the slaves and successfully mixed in.
Downing Street is close to the void rift. A huge black sailing ship is now docked on the edge of the cliff.
Ji Xun followed the crowd and slowly followed.
When passing the checkpoint, a group of sergeants were checking every person on board.
The slaves had long been stripped down to only a pair of pants, so there was nothing to search. But the sergeants on board checked very carefully.
Ji Xun did not show any abnormality throughout the whole process.
Disguising the identity of a slave is much less risky than disguising the identity of a sergeant on the Southern Continent.
Aragorn said that they were discovered before, and it is likely that the enemy had some means to determine that their rank did not match their disguised identity.
Ji Xun does not have this worry now.
His disguise relies on the [clown mask], and there is no flaw in his appearance, and his own performance is also professional.
It is normal to be taciturn after a defeat, and even people who know him will not find the problem.
Ji Xun passed the security check smoothly.
In fact, he also knew that the people on the Southern Continent were wary of Aragorn's masters of level seven and above.
After all, only masters of that rank can pose a substantial threat to the void warship.
After boarding the ship, Ji Xun and a group of slaves were taken to the bottom of the cabin and stuffed into the cell like sardines in a can.
After waiting for nearly two hours, the nearly 20,000 slaves and the looted war materials were fully loaded.
Gravity was hanging upside down, and the huge black sailing ship sailed into the vast rift.
Ji Xun's affinity with the laws of space is very high now. Even in the dark bottom of the cabin, he can clearly calculate the distance of the ship from the dock.
In a flash, it has been more than ten kilometers away from the dock.
There is usually a seventh-level escort officer accompanying the void dragon ship, and more than a thousand well-trained soldiers.
The ship itself also has a large number of defensive restrictions.
Normally, it is basically impossible to forcibly seize this kind of warship.
In addition to defensive power, the most important reason is that it is unnecessary.
It's like an ordinary pirate going to rob an aircraft carrier. Not to mention whether you can rob it or not, even if you do, what can you do with it?
The target is big, there is nowhere to hide, and they are hunted every day. The gain is not worth the loss.
However, this time we found the lost imperial capital Behemoth, so this kind of ship that can cross the rift is very necessary.
At the bottom of the dark cabin, there is only the sound of heavy breathing.
The slave collar of the sixth-level card master also has the "magic ban" special effect. Generally speaking, once the war slaves are locked, they can't do anything.
Ji Xun sat in the corner of the cabin very calmly, and his wise eyes observed every face under the dark heads.
Calculating the time is almost up, he muttered: "Ivan?"
At this time, a space crack quietly appeared in the void, revealing an excited little face.
Of course it was Ivan.
The success of this plan is most directly related to Ivan.
Ji Xun had nothing on him except a mask and gloves that couldn't be taken off. Someone had to be able to bring the equipment on board.
And Ivan, who can scale his size at will and hide himself in the void, is perfect.
Just as he said that, Ivan stretched out his little hand and handed over a card with a key pattern printed on it. It was the [Gamier's Master Key].
The collar around Ji Xun's neck was opened, and a potion was poured into it. When the spell power was almost restored, he quietly broke the chains on his hands and feet.
At this time, Ji Xun stood up directly, and walked directly in front of a slave in the astonished eyes of the slaves on the side.
Before the guy could give a signal, he punched his head to pieces.
During the previous observation, Ji Xun discovered that among these war slaves there were also hidden elements from the Southern Continent, the guy whose head was blown off.
Seeing this bloody scene, everyone was stunned.
But they were all captured slaves. They vaguely guessed something, and no one said anything.
He just looked at this suddenly violent "accomplice" in silence and shock.
After killing him, Ji Xun shouted unhurriedly: "Who is 'Green'?"
At this time, a brown-haired young man in the crowd weakly raised his hand and said: "I"
In addition to Ji Xun and Ivan, the Rebel Dragon Army also arranged for a technical staff to come to this operation.
After all, controlling the void dragon ship is a technical job.
This young man named "Green" is a magic weapon master in the southern continent. He is good at the design and forging of various magic devices, as well as the cracking and dismantling of barriers.
Aragorn said that the design of this void dragon ship was designed by Green's ancestor.
He is also one of the few people who truly understands the structure and control of the void dragon ship.
Ji Xun walked over and untied the collar from the man's neck.
In fact, he has observed some of the characteristics of Aragon before, and there is nothing to doubt.
Green still had doubts in his eyes. He looked at Ji Xun in disbelief and asked, "Who are you, sir?"
He knew that his mission was to assist his partners in the Dragon Rebel Army to seize the ship.
When performing tasks in an organization, not everyone is usually aware of the plan and the people involved.
Just know your responsibilities.
This also prevents the plan from being exposed and protects the safety of other teammates to the greatest extent.
"The crow introduced by the toad."
Ji Xun didn't intend to talk nonsense and said a code word.
It means the foreign aid introduced by Aragon.
He then directly stated the battle plan: "We will talk about this later. I will send you to the control room later. You can find a way to control the battleship and leave the rest to me."
"Um."
Green nodded instinctively. This was his mission on board the ship.
But in a blink of an eye, he saw that only Ji Xun stood up, and there were no familiar revolutionary army cadres. Green couldn't help but said: "Well, sir, it's just the two of us?"
Ji Xun untied the collar and broke the chain. Hearing this, he grinned: "Yeah."
"ah?"
When Green heard this, his eyes were filled with astonishment. Are they just the two of them?
When he saw that no one in the crowd responded, he realized that the foreign aid invited by this organization was not joking.
However, this is a heavily guarded void dragon ship!
How can we seize the ship with just the two of us?
However, before Grindor could ask anything, Ivan on Ji Xun's head had already opened a space crack.
Ji Xun pulled the guy who was standing there like a piece of wood and took a step forward.
As soon as the surrounding scene changed, the three of them walked from the dark cabin to the control room on the top floor.
The control room is like a bank's vault, with extremely complex protective barriers.
This is the most difficult part of the plan to seize the ship.
People in the Southern Continent have long thought that someone would seize the ship, so the control room of the Void Dragon Ship has extremely high defense standards, and under normal circumstances can withstand a strong attack by a ninth-level card master.
In other words, if someone wanted to seize the ship, they would need at least a ninth-level card master to forcefully enter the control room.
But now, both Innocence City and Nugget Pier are strictly guarded, and the people in the Southern Continent have not given this chance at all.
However, now with Ivan's spatial ability, the three of them came in very easily.
Seeing that the plan went so smoothly, Ji Xun also confirmed his previous suspicion: people in the southern continent did not know Ivan's abilities.
According to Aragorn, Ivan was found in a coffin by the leader of the Dragon Rebel Army. After being rescued, Ivan looked like a newborn baby, seeing the world for the first time.
So at that time, he speculated that the people in the Holy See might not know Ivan's ability, and they were just extracting the power of space from her body to maintain that formation.
This also adds a critical success factor to this ship-seizing plan.
Green watched them enter the control room with a rich expression: Are you coming in now?
As soon as the three of them entered, the several Southern Continent soldiers in the control room were also extremely surprised.
But for a moment of confusion, several flying knives passed by with cold light, and in the blink of an eye they turned into several corpses.
After killing the enemy, Ji Xun observed the control room, threw out a scroll and a toolbox, and said: "This is the plan made by your leader. We need to drive the ship to the predetermined coordinates. The rest will be left to you. ”
"Um!"
Green reacted after being reminded of this.
At this moment, he also understood the plan. Being able to enter the control room so easily did not require many people to attack.
Although he thought the plan to seize the ship was a little unbelievable, since the leader had arranged it this way, he also fully trusted Ji Xun's words.
He hurried to the control panel and tried to take over the control.
Green was indeed a professional and quickly entered the working state.
After the magic was released, eight spider-like arms behind him unfolded and controlled the complicated handles respectively.
But after trying it, he immediately found obstacles and suddenly said in a serious tone: "But sir, there is a very troublesome problem now. The people of the South Continent have set a fixed route. It will take at least a quarter of an hour for me to tamper with the authority. But I suspect that those people outside may have some backup authority, or they will destroy the hull. When the ship breaks down, we may get lost in the cracks."
The pictures on the magic screens in the control room were not optimistic.
The movement at the bottom of the cabin seemed to have caused the restlessness of the soldiers on board, and now a large number of guards were rushing to the bottom of the cabin.
"Well."
Ji Xun dared to come on board, of course he had made a careful plan long ago.
Seeing this temporary teammate come up with such a professional assessment, he completely trusted this guy to be reliable enough, so he said: "You follow the plan above, and I will take care of the people outside."
He threw a communication conch to him and said: "If there is any change, notify me immediately."
"Ah?"
Green thought he had heard it wrong.
This ship is a reorganized guard corps, and it is handed over to you?
"But."
Before he could say anything, Ji Xun walked in from the space crack again.
Ji Xun needed to attract all the firepower to himself, so that the information that the control room authority was taken away could be transmitted to the dock as late as possible.
He went directly back to the slave cabin underground.
Then he threw the master key to the war slaves in the cabin.
At this time, the soldiers not far away also found Ji Xun, the slave who had escaped, but before they could react, several flying knives had already harvested their lives as fast as lightning.
But after killing the guards, the "woohoo" alarm sounded throughout the cabin.
Ji Xun didn't care at all, and killed all the way leisurely.
Dozens of silver-leaf flying knives lingered around his body. In the dark cabin, low-level card masters could hardly withstand a single blow.
Encountering the isolation restrictions between the cabins, Ji Xun easily passed through the space cracks.
There was no obstruction along the way, and he also found the key from the corpse and opened the prison door.
Before the guards on the South Continent understood what was happening, the entire base was in chaos.
Probably just thought it was a normal slave riot, until a long moment later, a sixth-level deputy legion commander came to check the situation.
However, a normal sixth-level card master was almost no threat to Ji Xun's current strength.
But he didn't kill him with all his strength.
Instead, he showed that he was fighting hard, making the enemy mistakenly think that he could quell this slave riot.
What he had to do now was to attract the attention of the entire ship here, and then delay time as much as possible.
Normally, if someone tried to seize the ship, there must be an emergency plan.
If the people on the void battleship found that they were defeated, they would definitely contact the dock. At that time, the top masters of the South Road would reinforce as soon as possible.
Although Aragorn said that the leader of the Dragon Rebel Army would definitely intercept, Ji Xun didn't know how many masters there were in the South Continent, or what other cards they had.
Delay was the best solution.
When Green got the control of the ship, the dragon ship would deviate to the depths of the rift, and the top masters of the South Continent would not dare to come easily.
After all, you can get lost in the void rift.
If you don't know how to control the ship, once you get lost, even if a ninth-level card master comes, you will definitely die.
Those senior officers of the South Road would not be willing to exchange their lives with the mud legs of the Dragon Rebel Army.
About five minutes later, the battle was still not over.
The highest commander on board, the commander of the 15th Legion of the Red Dragon Royal Guard, "Iron Arm" Tek, finally realized that the riot in the cabin was beyond control.
The magic screen in the control room can see most of the key positions on the ship, and Green also discovered the crisis at the first time.
In the communicator, Ji Xun heard his temporary teammate's urgent reminder: "Sir, be careful, the Red Dragon Legion Commander is looking for you!"
Ji Xun listened but didn't care, and responded calmly: "Well. Be careful over there. If there are other abnormalities, notify me immediately."
This situation is completely expected.
Of course he won't have any fluctuations.
Having fought with the seventh-level dragon card master before, Ji Xun already has an accurate concept of the strong man of that level.
Besides, the intelligence has long been mastered.
That "Iron Arm" Tek is a dragon blood, that is, a melee professional with great strength and size.
The strength is indeed very strong.
But for the current Ji Xun, this seventh-level without some strange means is not too outrageous.
At least, it will never be more difficult than the "Thunder Trial" Dominic and the great deacon who is good at space ability.
The other party can't kill him in a short time.
Ji Xun didn't hesitate until the strong enemy came. He did not bother with the sixth-rank deputy legion commander in front of him any more. His offensive suddenly became extremely sharp. After finding a flaw and severely injuring and killing him, he took the initiative to rush towards the powerful aura approaching him from above.
After a few breaths, a fierce battle broke out on the huge warship.
On the other side, Green in the control room was modifying the control authority of the warship while staring at the monitoring screen on the magic light screen.
He was sweating when he found the strong enemy before.
After all, there were only two of them in this ship-grabbing operation. Looking at the temporary companion who was entangled with the sixth-level card master, Green didn't think that the other party would be the opponent of the seventh-level legion commander.
Just when he thought that Ji Xun would most likely use his space ability to escape back to the control room for refuge, the picture on the magic light screen made him unable to take his eyes off.
"What level of card master is that guy? He can actually fight against the royal legion commander?"
Green was stunned.
Watching Ji Xun kill the sixth-level who had been fighting hard before, and then fighting hard with the seventh-level legion commander?
At this moment, he realized how outrageous the leader had found a strong ally.
But at the same time, Green was inexplicably relieved.
He couldn't think of it, and the enemy couldn't think of it even more.
The progress of cracking my own permissions is also going very smoothly. This time, the ship-taking mission is almost certain to succeed!
