Chapter 404: Come up with a Trick
"Holy crap! Why is there a robot skeleton inside the Mobile Angel?"
"It's the core system!" A player who had fought on land before shouted loudly. This player was not a sponge player before. He once participated in a battle with our guild on land. In that battle, several mobile Angels were destroyed and a mechanical skeleton popped out from the inside. So this guy specifically investigated this matter later, and found out on the forum that our guild's Frost Rose Alliance also has a core system, and this system itself is also capable of combat.
The machine skeleton that popped out from the anti-ship mobile angel is not a real undead skeleton soldier, and of course they are not called machine skeletons. The real name of this thing should be called Angel Core, which is the core component of the Mobile Angel. This part includes a set of the most basic moving parts. In addition, the artificial soul of the Mobile Angel and the moving core are located in this angel core. Therefore, it can be said that this core is actually the body of the Mobile Angel. As for the things outside, in fact They can all be regarded as plug-ins and can be thrown away directly when necessary.
Immediately after landing, the Angel Core rushed towards the nearest enemy. After seeing the reaction of the Angel Core, the player immediately raised his sword to attack. Who would have expected that the Angel Core would suddenly appear while running? He jumped forward, then changed into a running posture like an ape, and began to run forward on all fours. If a human is using this posture, it will definitely not be able to run fast, but the problem is that the angel core is not human at all. Although its structure is not much different from human bones, the thinking mode of this thing is different from humans, so even the limbs Using them together will not slow down the speed, but will greatly increase the running speed.
In fact, if the speed is just faster, this angel core is not so scary. The key is that the combat method of the angel core in the non-human form is too unstable.
Mobile Angel has a huge external armor system. Although it provides super defense and extremely exaggerated power, because the internal structure is already quite complex, the external structure can only be simplified as much as possible. The final result is the range of activities of Mobile Angel. Actually very limited. Being able to completely simulate human actions is already the limit.
However, without the plug-in, although the defense and power output of the Angel Core have been seriously lower than the mobile Angel state, his flexibility has been qualitatively improved. Not only is he super fast, but his fighting style is also very fast. Weird, it is no longer a physical technique used by humans. Instead, he learned the fighting habits of wild animals.
The charging Angel Core suddenly bounced off the ground with force just before it came into contact with the player, and the player immediately struck it down with a sword. I originally expected to cut the opponent in two, but who knew that the Angel Core actually jumped onto the outer wall of the island on the side, inserted its sharp fingers into the hull like cutting butter, and then used the power of the fingers to climb directly along the wall on the side of the island. Go up.
The player who was waiting to fight the Angel Core found that the Angel Core suddenly started to climb the wall and wanted to chase it up, but found that his speed was no match for him. The angel core quickly climbed along the wall to the bottom of the bridge like a gecko, then climbed through the reverse protrusion under the bridge and climbed upside down to the bottom of the outer corridor of the bridge. Even ordinary people can probably climb up to this position, let alone the Angel Core. The angel core directly grabbed the railing with one hand, then swung his body suddenly over the circular corridor outside the bridge, crashed through the observation window outside the bridge and rushed into the bridge.
"Are you kidding me?" The player below was really panicking now. They all reacted, climbing the stairs and climbing the wall, and rushed towards the bridge together. However, they had just climbed halfway when they saw another piece of the glass window on the bridge above shattered, and then a guy in a navy uniform flew out from inside and fell directly into the sea.
The combatants had no time to pay attention to the thrown body, but continued upward. However, people were thrown out of the windows above from time to time, but the people below were too anxious to help.
Finally, the person at the front finally rushed to the escalator outside the bridge, and then this guy rushed all the way to the corridor outside the bridge. But just as he held the handle of the bridge door, he felt a shake under his feet, and the battleship suddenly came. It would have been a sharp turn, if he hadn't just grabbed the handle at the time. He was probably thrown out directly. However, the person below who was climbing the wall was not so lucky. It would have been more strenuous to crawl on the bare outer wall of the island, not to mention that the warship suddenly made a sharp turn. The people lying outside the island naturally had to endure a very huge centrifugal force. As a result, many people were thrown out at once.
Although the guy who grabbed the door handle was shaken, because he was still holding the door handle, he quickly stabilized his body, opened the door and rushed into the bridge.
What the guy saw when he entered the bridge was basically a scene from Shura Hell. The entire bridge was covered with red bloodstains. The bridge and control chairs were littered with killed crew members. There were also large amounts of bloodstains on the ground, which had all gathered into one large area.
Although battleships in the game will also have boarding battles, they do not happen often after all. Moreover, there are dedicated deck combatants on the battleships. It does not require that everyone on the ship has combat capabilities. Therefore, in fact, most guilds On the battleship, in addition to the deck combatants, most of them are players without combat effectiveness.
This ship is obviously a relatively normal warship, so the driving seats are all filled with helpless civilian personnel. They have no problem operating the battleship, but once someone breaks into the bridge, these people are basically helpless to fight back.
Speaking of which, this combatant only entered the bridge ten seconds later than the previous Angel Core. Unexpectedly, just with such a small time difference, the entire bridge was killed, and the Angel Core actually moved. Battleship idea.
When the player came in, he happened to see the angel core over there turning the battleship's steering wheel. This was the reason why the battleship suddenly turned. After the player entered the cabin, the angel core immediately looked back at him, then suddenly held the steering wheel with both hands and pulled it down hard. With a click, the steering wheel was completely pulled off the bridge without this guy.
After destroying the steering wheel, the angel core did not stop there. Instead, it suddenly grasped the speed controller next to it, then pushed all the switches to the top at once, and then continued to use force to forcefully pull off all the speed controllers. , now if you want to regain control of the battleship's navigation, you can only go to the engine room below and use manual control. At least the bridge side has completely lost control.
This is actually the purpose of the Angel Core. After destroying the controller here, the Angel Core did not fight with the people who rushed in. Instead, it jumped out of the window on the other side the moment it completed its work. .
After the Angel Core flew out of the bridge, he grabbed a handful on the outer railing with one hand to slow down the outward force. Then he fell straight down and hit the deck on the other side with a loud bang. Then this guy immediately looked for it. When he reached the nearest hatch, he opened it and climbed in.
The angel core that entered the ship ran around in the ship, and ran down the stairs when they saw it. And it kept moving towards the stern of the ship. Occasionally, some people in the ship were killed directly. These are warship maintenance personnel, equivalent to technical arms, and basically have little combat effectiveness.
Of course, the Angel Core successfully found the engine room at the rear of the ship as long as there were no problems with the general direction, and then went directly inside, killing all the operators and destroying the manual control system, and then left the ship. cabin. The ship was now unable to do anything but spin at sea, because its steering wheel was stuck in the maximum turning direction, and all possible means of control were destroyed except to cut off power and bring the ship to a stop. There was simply no other way to stop the boat from spinning.
However, after all, this is a battlefield for naval battles, not ordinary sea areas. Especially under this kind of encirclement tactic, the distance between battleships is very small. Under normal circumstances, the distance of several hundred meters would be enough for these warships to maneuver. But the problem is that now the ship is just spinning, so it naturally intrudes into other people's waterways. In order to avoid it, the surrounding warships had to maneuver and dodge, and the movement of one ship forced the nearby warships to follow suit. As a result, a large number of nearby warships broke away from the encirclement and entered a state of chaos.
That Angel Core, having done all that, didn't just leave. Instead, he started running up again. Finally reached the deck again. Because there are many passages inside the battleship and they extend in all directions, it is very difficult to find someone. There were not many combatants on the deck, so in this case they were naturally scattered everywhere. When the angel core returned to the deck, there were only a few people left, and most of the personnel were chasing after him. It went down into the cabin. Who knew this guy would actually come back again.
Because of the extreme sensitivity of the Angel Core, it can be said to be very advantageous when fighting ordinary players, and it has momentum on board. If it is a land battle, the opponent's personnel will usually be relatively complete. As long as the warriors can withstand it for a period of time, the mages' large-scale magic can easily hit the angel cores, and the defense of these angel cores can be said to be very bad. . Once hit, there is basically no resistance. However, things are slightly different when at sea.
Even if there is a personal battle between players in a naval battle, they are basically fighting on the deck. Therefore, the thing under their feet is not ordinary land, but a battleship. In this case, if the mage uses magic to attack, as long as he cannot hit the target, he will probably hit the battleship. As a defender, he himself wants to prevent the battleship from being damaged. How can he take the initiative to destroy the battleship? Therefore, most of the combatants on the battleships are actually warriors, and there are very few mages. After all, the destructive power of the mages is too great. If there is no fighting in the battleship, it is better to ignore the enemy.
Precisely because most of the battleships in naval battles are warrior-type defense personnel, no one will attack magic on a large scale. In this case, the Angel Core naturally takes advantage. This angel core relied on its powerful flexibility to easily bypass those players, then rushed straight to the No. 2 turret, and then opened the door of the turret and got in before those people rushed up.
The combat players outside certainly know that the personnel inside the turret cannot handle the Angel Core. After all, the people operating the turret are not combat players. Although they can use cannons to cause damage, they are not directly doing it themselves after all. Melee combat is definitely not comparable to the Angel Core.
Just because they knew that the artillerymen were no match for the Angel Core, the people outside rushed forward anxiously. Unfortunately, the Angel Core was too fast and the people inside were too weak. When they rushed into the turret, they were surprised to find that the people inside were too weak. Everyone is dead. What's even more annoying is that the angel core is actually running out from the opposite hatch.
After seeing this situation, everyone planned to continue chasing, but the automatic loading machine next to them suddenly rang. This sudden sound made everyone stunned. He instinctively looked towards the loading machine, but it didn't matter if he didn't look at it. This sight almost scared him out of his mind. I saw that a shell without a front fairing on the loader was being stuffed into the barrel. What was even more terrible was that there was already a shell in the barrel.
Under normal circumstances, even if you hit the ground with a cannonball, it will not detonate, because there is a fairing outside the detonator of the cannonball. This thing can keep the cannon stable during flight and reduce wind resistance. At the same time it is also a safety insurance. This thing has a certain hardness, and ordinary collisions will not cause it to deform. And as long as the fairing does not deform. The fuse inside will not be triggered, so the shell will not explode. so. Normal cannonballs are still very safe, and even if they accidentally fall to the ground during transportation, there won't be much of a problem. However, the shell that is being pushed into the barrel of the gun does not have a fairing, it is just a crystal trigger in front. This thing is different from the fairing. It is very impressive. Although it is not afraid of vibration, it is very afraid of impact. As long as the collision force is greater than five kilograms, it can be triggered, and the push force of the automatic loader is far more than this number. After all, hundreds of kilograms of shells need to be fed into the barrel. How is it possible without any strength?
Everyone who saw this situation felt that their hair stood up in an instant. The people who reacted the fastest immediately rushed forward to stop the advancement of the artillery shells. Unfortunately, the loader was too powerful and just one or two people could not stop it. Fortunately, the people behind were not slow to react due to the force of its forward push. They immediately stepped forward to help lift the warhead, making the cannonball that was originally lying on the track stand up.
Accompanied by a bang. The upright cannonball was pushed to the rear of the barrel. Of course, it got stuck and could not be pushed in. After sensing huge resistance, the loader automatically gives up and continues to move forward and starts to pull back. This is a protective device. Once a shell gets stuck, this thing can ensure that the problematic shell is pulled out instead of stupidly. Continue to press inward as hard as you can.
Although the side impact on the rear of the barrel made a loud collision sound, it did not explode because the trigger fuse did not hit anything. Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief at this time. You must know that there are still several shells piled inside the turret at this time. If it explodes, the power will definitely blow away the entire front deck of the ship.
However, just when everyone took a breath, they saw that the door through which the Angel Core left had been opened again. Under everyone's confused gazes, a gadget about the size of a mooncake was thrown in, and then the door was closed again. The little thing bounced on the ground and landed in the center of the turret. The next second, a small protrusion suddenly rose in the center of the thing, then the protrusion turned ninety degrees, and then suddenly fell back. With a flash of blue light, the people inside the turret knew nothing.
Although the people inside the turret were not able to witness the effect of this thing, everyone outside saw it. The second turret at the front of the Sapphire suddenly exploded. At the same time, the front section of the battleship jumped upwards, and then crashed into the sea. However, the bow part suddenly broke and began to sink.
In fact, the gadget just now is a device similar to a grenade. It is part of the self-destruction device of the Angel Core. Of course, it can also be used as a grenade when necessary. The small explosive device thrown in by the Angel Core just now detonated several unfired rounds of ready ammunition in the turret, and then further detonated the ammunition depot below the turret. The final result was that the entire front of the Sapphire was destroyed. If it is directly blown off, the remaining part may not last long. You must know that the speed of this battleship has been driven to the maximum, and the control system has failed. In this case, it would be strange if the ship continued to move forward without a bow. It would not sink.
After this explosion, the battleship here was basically hopeless, and the angel core jumped into the sea decisively immediately after throwing the small bomb. Because it is in the form of a skeleton, there is no way to maintain buoyancy after entering the water. The Angel Core quickly began to sink, but just when it sank to a depth of more than a hundred meters underwater, two small thrusters suddenly opened on the guy's back. This small propeller is small in size and not fast, but it can ensure that the Angel Core will not sink. Relying on the help of these two small propellers, this angel core begins to quickly move closer to our warship. Then it will find the nearest one's warship and climb up to recover it. After all, although the Angel Core has a certain combat effectiveness, it is not used to directly participate in battles. This mode is just an emergency state. In this state, mobile angels will tend to be cautious and self-protective in their behavior. Not very aggressive.
At this point, although our anti-ship mobile Angel has basically lost its combat effectiveness, it has at least killed one battleship and severely damaged one, so it is not a loss. However, even so, the Fin Whale still cannot be let go. Because of this ship, we already have two anti-ship maneuvering angels that have problems. One was directly blown up, and the other was forced back to its core form and returned to the fleet. It is equivalent to two mobile angels losing their combat capabilities. If we can pay such a price, of course we cannot keep the Fin Whale.
"You're quite tenacious!" Sophie, who had noticed this special battleship for a long time, no longer had any scruples after seeing her own Angel Core diving. Because the previous Angel Core was still on the Sapphire next to the Fin Whale, So in order to avoid accidental damage, Sophie has never dared to let the side fire and attack, but now there is no need. "Prepare the magic light cannon. The target is the battleship that destroyed two of our Mobile Angels. Sink it for me."
Following Sophie's order, a hemispherical armor shield on the top of the Kristina suddenly unfolded, and then something that looked a bit like a satellite antenna and a laser drill stretched out from it. After unfolding, this thing immediately locked onto the Fin Whale over there. At the same time, a large amount of white steam began to erupt from behind it, and circles of substantial energy fluctuations rippled around it.
"Be careful, that ship is going to use its ultimate attack!" Someone on the other side who knew the magic light cannon screamed immediately after seeing the changes on our side. Unfortunately, it was too late to say anything at this time.
"Launch." Following Sophie's final order, a thick blue-white beam immediately spanned a distance of more than ten kilometers and shot directly at the Fin Whale. Two warships blocking the way were cut in half, and there was no trace of it. to any blocking effect. The Fin Whale itself, like the previous battleships, could not hold on for even a second. It was penetrated through the island in an instant, and then the beam was extinguished. The entire battleship started to catch fire and broke from the center into two front and rear parts, rolled and sank. sea.
"Launch completed, close the protective shield." Following the first officer's order, the magic light cannon began to slowly descend. The protective shield outside was also automatically closed. Although this thing is very powerful, its defensive power is basically insignificant compared to ordinary artillery. In fact, due to material and structure problems, the magic light cannon's ability to resist attacks is basically the same as that of porcelain. Not to mention a direct hit, even a relatively powerful shell exploding nearby may directly damage it. If our shield hadn't had a special structure that could absorb impact, we wouldn't have been able to carry weapons like the magic light cannon on the battleship.
Of course, the above knowledge is for large magic light cannons. In fact, the magic light cannon's defense will greatly increase as its size decreases, but this thing generates a lot of heat. Therefore, the power decreases greatly after the size is small. After all, the size is too small and is not conducive to heat dissipation. There is no other way except reducing the power.
"Damn, damn, damn..." At this time, there was a lot of curses in the British fleet. The large warships they had just sent out in an attempt to enter the inner defensive line to attack us were either on fire or sinking. The combat effectiveness of the mobile angels used against ships by our guild was simply too exaggerated. As long as they cannot be intercepted in the air, once they are approached, the warships basically have no ability to fight against them.
The defense of these terrifying fighting machines is astonishing. The deck combatants are unable to intercept the destructive actions of the mobile angels used against the warships. Most of the weapons on the warships are used to deal with other warships, so they are very slow and cannot follow them at all. The movement speed of the Mobile Angel used against ships. It can be said that in this case, the anti-ship mobile angels are basically invincible. Except for the opponent occasionally encountering one or two anti-ship mobile angels to destroy or injure them, there are basically no actual results.
Of course, if you just can't handle the Mobile Angel against ships, that's fine. After all, with their numerical advantage, it will take a long time for those anti-ship mobile angels to defeat their entire fleet. But the key is that they can't handle the anti-ship mobile angels, and even our battleships can't be defeated.
Not to mention the Kristina, the surrounding warships that appear to be one size smaller actually have the same performance. All battleships have two sets of protection systems. The outer protective shield has amazing defensive power. Even if it is focused on fire, it can rarely be penetrated. A few missed shots will be intercepted by the teleportation beam, and basically Most of the artillery shells after interception will miss the target.
Faced with this one-sided situation, even now they still have an absolute advantage in numbers, but regardless of the British. The people from the small guilds who hung out with them have all begun to lose confidence. Not to mention sunk. Even if they can damage one of our warships, they will have some confidence, but the problem is that so far their shells have not even landed on the outer shell of our warship. That's truly unscathed. In such a state, people will become discouraged.
"What should we do? Are we going to be sunk by them one by one, or run away in embarrassment?" At this time, some representatives of medium and large guilds following the British guilds ran into the British fleet and started Ask what to do. The plan they had made before was obviously impossible to realize, so they needed to make a decision now, either to evacuate immediately or to stick to it. Hesitation would only make things worse.
Look at the looks in the eyes of the presidents around you. The captains of the British guilds also began to hesitate, and then all their eyes focused on the fleet commander.
Hagers looked around awkwardly, and finally said: "Actually, we came out well prepared this time, but we didn't expect the Frost Rose Alliance's warships to be so hard. But you can rest assured, we We will not be defeated just yet, because we still have a secret weapon in our hands that we have not yet revealed."
"Secret weapon? Why haven't I heard you talk about it before?" asked the president of a guild.
"Since it's called a secret weapon, of course it must be hidden secretly. If we tell people when we see it, what secrets are there?"
"So now you can tell us what the secret is, right?"
After hesitating for a while, Hagers felt that if he didn't say anything now, the fleet might collapse directly, so after thinking about it again and again, he decided to say it. "Actually, this secret weapon is a player that we have hidden for a long time. He has a very powerful ability. As long as he is at sea, he is basically invincible."
"Invincible at sea? Is she the same as the Frozen Banshee? A player who is adaptable to special environments?" A guild president immediately thought of the Frozen Banshee who claimed to be able to compete with me head-on as long as she was within the Arctic Circle.
Hagers nodded and said: "They are similar people. However, our member's specialty is not the ice system but the transformation system and the summoning system."
"In the same line as Ziri?" A guild leader immediately frowned and said, "When it comes to fighting for a magic pet, no one can beat Ziri, right?"
"Hey, there's a difference between you guys." Hagers said: "The summoning system used by our member is the orthodox summoning system, not the summoning system with a magic pet like Ziri."
The so-called orthodox summoning system is a view brought out in previous games, and was not formed in "Zero". According to players' perceptions, the formal summoning system should not be the mode in "Zero" where a large group of magic pets are captured and then fought, because the magic pets actually always exist around the player. Especially after the magic pet space was cancelled, due to the lack of space equipment, there were even fewer space equipment that could carry living bodies, so most players' magic pets followed them around. Although this kind of magic pet is also regarded as a summoned creature, in fact, it does not need to be summoned at all, and it can directly cooperate with the battle as a comrade-in-arms.
Precisely because this characteristic of a familiar does not go well with summoning, many players believe that orthodox summoning should be a way of fighting that uses certain skills to summon powerful creatures that one does not fully possess. That kind of summoning has appeared in many previous games or literary works with magical content, and that kind of summoning has been recognized by more people. Therefore, the summoning of a familiar has become unorthodox, and that kind of summoning has become unorthodox. This method of summoning foreign creatures is called orthodox summoning.
Of course, a large part of the reason for this situation is that the number of familiars in "Zero" is too small. When they first entered the game, everyone found that they could only carry one to three magic pets. Many people regretted it for a long time because the only magic pet system in "Zero" had been announced during the promotion stage. The limit is the number of magic pets you can carry. As long as there is room, you can bring as many magic pets as you like. As long as you can get the magic pet egg. Therefore, when many people first enter the game, they are imagining that there will be many powerful magic pets in the future, and what will they do if they encounter good magic pets and have no place to put them. After all, the familiar in "Zero" cannot be changed once selected, so this problem has troubled many players for a long time.
However, as the game time progressed, players finally realized that what limits the number of players' magic pets is not actually the amount you can carry. But the number of magic pet eggs. That's right, those three to four hundred level magic pet eggs are available in the system stores. You can have as much as you want. But the question is, how many people will actually buy it? Although that kind of magic pet egg is very cheap, the location of the magic pet is limited after all. Not only do those level three or four hundred magic pets occupy the same position as the three or four thousand level magic pets, but what's even worse is that they can hardly help at all in battle.
Although low-level magic pet eggs are open to supply, high-level magic pets are a completely different matter. Players later discovered that obtaining magic pet eggs was not as simple as imagined. Many people initially thought that as long as you can defeat a monster, you can make it a magic pet. However, there is a problem with the success rate. However, everyone was surprised to find that turning a monster into a magic pet requires more than just a beast tamer. A special profession, and the success rate of capturing familiars is actually so low. It can be said that basically if a 1,000-level player wants to capture a 500-level Warcraft programming familiar, the success rate will never exceed one percent. This shows how rare the magic pet egg is, and the more advanced the magic pet egg is, the more difficult it is to get it.
The end result of everything is that players find that they have been cheated. Their imagined situation of carrying a large number of magic pet eggs with no place to put them turned into carrying a large number of empty spaces and unable to find the magic pet eggs. Rich players are better off. Although not many people are willing to sell magic pet eggs, the world is so large that there are always some people who will sell magic pet eggs, and some people have high level catching skills like me. They would also form groups to catch demon pets and sell them for money. Because of the existence of such people, extremely rich local players can occasionally buy some magic pet eggs. As for ordinary players... apart from praying that they will be lucky one day and accidentally pick up a magic pet egg, there is nothing they can do. There is no other hope.
Because of the scarcity of magic pet eggs, most players do not have enough magic pets to use, so in the spirit of sour grapes, everyone unanimously agreed. The summoning technique using a familiar is not called summoning. Only the summoning technique that summons creatures created out of thin air is called summoning.
However, although everyone says so, this is not the case in the system settings. Although the so-called orthodox summoning system does exist in "Zero", the problem is that this is not mainstream, and the related equipment and skills are difficult to obtain, and the difficulty of practice can be imagined. Although a good profession has a great impact on the player's strength. But if the level is too low, it will be useless no matter how good the profession is. Even if you can learn more than a dozen professions by yourself and become a full-time expert, you will still be badly abused if you are more than a thousand levels behind. Therefore, it is true that few people would choose orthodox summoning professions that are difficult to upgrade and do not have suitable equipment.
Of course, there must be exceptions to everything, and the player Hagers mentioned is obviously that exception.
"President Hagers, after you have said so much, why don't you invite us to see your secret weapon?" One of the presidents suggested.
After thinking for a moment, Hagers nodded and said: "Since he wants to see it, I will ask him to help us get these battleships of the Frost Rose Alliance immediately. Anyway, what you want to see is his strength and not his appearance."
The guild leaders nodded in agreement, and Hagers immediately said to the first mate beside him: "Go and inform Poseidon that it is his turn to appear."
If I were here at this time, I would definitely be surprised by this player's name. He actually uses the same name as our Poseidon, but the one in our guild is the real Poseidon. As for this one... I can only try Only after passing can you know. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
