Before going to sea, Su Lun learned that the two great pirate fleets in the West Sea and the South China Sea totaled two to three thousand warships of various sizes.
I lost 70% when crossing the Sea of Eternal Night, but now I still have several hundred.
But these few hundred are mostly the top sailing battleships in the world. Three "Sea King" battleships from the two pirate groups are also among them, as well as dozens of good-class battleships.
The magicians in the plane of gods have these sailing ships, which are enough for sailing and adventure in this sea area. Su Lun does not think that the enemy's warships are too many, which is a good thing for them.
The more flexible you are, the more uncontrollable the risks are.
He observed carefully for a moment and informed everyone in the Dawn Group of the detailed coordinates.
But the Evernight was still two to three hundred kilometers away from this sea area, and it would take some time to sail over. Su Lun and Kit hid on a desert island, looking at the island in the distance.
Kit was a little bored.
He knows that his current strength cannot be observed randomly, otherwise he will easily be targeted by top magicians. So he just meditates with peace of mind, recovering from the sequelae of the previous [paralysis] state caused by the monster attack.
Hearing what Su Lun was planning to do, he asked slightly in surprise: "Are you planning to bombard? But those magicians seem to have strong early warning capabilities. If the ship is too close, it is likely to be discovered. If it is too far away, the bombardment will
I’m afraid the effect won’t be very good.”
When Su Lun heard this, he smiled meaningfully: "Our Dawn Regiment now has a very special new member. It is enough to launch accurate artillery strikes from dozens of kilometers away."
"???"
Kit sounded slightly suspicious, "New member?"
He is a traditional alchemist and does not have a deep understanding of Marfa's mechanical technology. But he also knows some common sense about naval warfare.
The ship-borne artillery on the Evernight are all top-notch Marfa, with a range of thirty to fifty kilometers, and the ultimate range of several super-large-caliber main guns even exceeds eighty kilometers.
But usually the ultimate range of artillery is useless in actual combat.
There is no satellite positioning in this world, and aiming at the target depends entirely on the naked eye of the observer. To hit accurately, targets generally not more than ten kilometers away are not attacked.
What's more, there are wind direction, waves, humidity, temperature, and a series of other factors that affect the accurate shooting of artillery shells. The farther the distance, the worse the shooting accuracy.
Any target that exceeds the limit of human vision is a blind shot, and the hit depends entirely on luck. This is true for no matter how good the gunner is.
But if the distance is too close, you can see the enemy and the enemy can see you.
After taking precautions in advance, the effect of the artillery battle will be much worse. At least, Jiji felt that Su Lun's goal of destroying the opponent's ships would not be easy to achieve.
Sea ships can move, not to mention that the number of enemy ships is hundreds of times our own. If it is a team, there is really nothing that those people can do.
However, the Dawn Group is very special.
"We have a new partner named "Dora'" who is a top mechanic. Well, you will know after you get on the ship."
Suellen didn't explain much to Kit.
After all, I met Dora, and the process of joining Dawn with her was quite a coincidence. The point is, the two people's abilities are very compatible in naval battles.
Su Lun's spatial ability allowed him to clearly perceive the distance and relative position between the Evernight and the [Rainbow Well], accurate to meters, without any error.
And Dora, the Marfa Colonel, is not only the top mechanic and artilleryman, she also fused with [Issac the Blasphemer].
This armor is a super biological computer, giving her the computing power to accurately calculate the trajectory of every artillery piece instantly.
Very useful on the battlefield.
It can be said that as long as the data obtained by Dora is accurate enough, the artillery on the Evernight can point to where to hit.
Kit couldn't understand and didn't ask any more questions. The two of them just waited on this desert island.
A few hours later, Su Lun watched more than twenty ships quietly leaving the harbor where they were anchored. He muttered: "Hey, the Yongye has been discovered."
He observed the direction in which the pirate ships were sailing, and immediately concluded that they were heading for the Evernight. When Kit heard that they were discovered, he immediately became alert, "Were we exposed?"
Su Lun's face remained normal, he shook his head and said, "No. It should have been when the Evernight sailed over that it triggered the magic warning device reserved by those guys. These people went to intercept and kill it."
Kit originally thought that being discovered was a very bad thing, but looking at Su Lun's calm expression and recalling his previous experience, he asked: "What don't we have to do?"
"Need not."
Su Lun shook his head and said indifferently: "The Yongye is about to enter the planned attack range. Even if they find out, it will be too late to rush over."
He had harvested so many magician souls, so he didn't know that the magician army also had a set of strict early warning and counterattack tactics.
It was expected that the Yongye was discovered.
What's more, if this wave of people goes to intercept and kill, the whole army is destined to be destroyed.
Kit's mouth tightened as he listened. Ever since he saw Su Lun today, he found that he seemed to be a fake member. Now Dawn has changed so much that he feels a little strange.
However, these changes were the source of inexplicable excitement and expectation in his heart.
At the same time, board the Evernight.
All members who received the news from Su Lun returned to combat mode after a short rest. The gunners in the artillery cabin were already ready.
"Load the ammo!"
"Special-grade alchemical magic-breaking bullets for the turret on the first floor, Seagull IV armor-piercing bullets for the second floor, and "shock bombs" for the third floor!"
"The first round of projectiles was six, with a gap of three seconds and rapid fire!"
After Dora boarded the ship, she also brought Marfa's top ship-based artillery technology.
Laboratory technologies that do not even have the capacity to be mass-produced and put into the military are used on the Evernight. The unparalleled displacement of the Haihuang-class battleship is enough to support super-large-caliber artillery and giant turrets. Dora also modified the entire ammunition transportation system .
In the past, naval battles required manual loading of ammunition one by one, which was very inefficient. Now you only need to pull a few valves, the steam boiler will provide power, and the ammunition will be transported from the safety cabin on the conveyor belt, and it will be loaded automatically like a bullet is loaded. .The whole process greatly reduces the work of the filling hand and improves efficiency.
There is also a matching accurate mechanical aiming system and semi-automatic fool-proof operation, which also allows artillerymen with varying skills to hit the same Japanese target almost accurately.
Not long after, the ship had arrived at the planned shooting area.
In the control room on the deck, Dora was listening to the wind direction, temperature, and ocean current data reported by the observers at all times, and was always calculating the most accurate ballistics in her mind.
When she heard Su Lun's accurate distance feedback, saying that she could fire freely, Dora gave an order: "Target 21 kilometers and 700 meters northwest of the target, activate the T-level continuous fire automatic calibration system, the range is covered, fire!" In an instant , the sound of artillery fire was deafening.
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" "-"
Nearly three hundred artillery pieces on one side of the Evernight opened fire simultaneously, and several super-large-caliber main guns on the deck also spit out tongues of flame.
The sound of artillery fire was continuous and seemed to be fired at the same time.
The exaggerated sound waves made the sea surface ripple like rain, and some sea fish turned up with white bellies on the sea surface in a blink of an eye.
The muzzle flames come in different colors, and the shells used are also the most expensive alchemy shells. This is a good thing that Dora brought out from the military warehouse. The cost of a single shell ranges from tens to millions of liso.
A round of ammunition is hundreds of millions.
But you can’t save money at this time.
At this moment, the sound waves of the previous round of artillery had not completely subsided. Just three seconds later, the second round of artillery fired again!
On the deck, everyone including Gan Tiao and Li Ming looked at the exaggerated firepower of the Yong Ye, and everyone's expressions were very excited.
The rate of fire of the alchemical cannonballs was extremely fast, but after ten breaths, Su Lun on the desert island saw the cannonballs coming from the sky.
He had excellent eyesight, his pupils shrank slightly, and he shouted softly: "Here we come!"
Kit had just heard Suellen's firing order and had been staring at the sky.
Although he sincerely hoped that the Dawn Regiment's fire coverage could destroy the enemy's warships, he still felt rationally that it was unlikely to hit the target accurately at such a long distance.
However, the moment Su Lun opened his mouth to ask, hundreds of cannonballs fell from the sky at extremely fast speeds, hitting the island in the distance with lightning speed.
Su Lun's eyes narrowed slightly, but there was nothing unusual about them.
Next to him, the expression on Kit's face changed from uncertainty to stunned in an instant. The eyes of both of them reflected brilliant fireballs at the same time.
Those hundreds of shells accurately hit the pirate ships parked densely in the harbor. "Boom!"
The violent shock wave spread like a tsunami, hitting a few seconds later than the fire in his eyes, and there was a huge "crash" movement.
Their robes were blown loudly.
Kit screamed strangely: "Damn it, I really hit the target!"
A wide range of firepower covered the area, and the field of vision was filled with flames. The shells accurately hit the location where hundreds of the pirate group's battleships were parked. Although the high-level magicians from the plane of gods also reacted quickly, some magicians instantly
He held up a magic shield to block the cannonballs and prevent the ship from being destroyed.
However, the second round of shells came and the third round came too!
Almost every few breaths, a round of cannonballs fell.
Demon-breaking, armor-piercing, detonation, a series of alchemical bombs fell, sawdust flew everywhere, masts were broken, and the whole sea was covered with broken planks from sailing ships.
With the continuous sound of explosions in his ears, Su Lun looked at the corner of his mouth with a smile and muttered: "These guys from the God Plane underestimate the Alchemy Plane."
The magic plane has some understanding of traditional alchemy, but almost nothing about the field of mechanical alchemy. In their tactics, there is no combat response to this kind of ultra-long-range bombardment.
But even if you are prepared, you cannot be prepared.
No one could have imagined that someone would launch an ultra-long-range fire strike "out of sight."
However, there are many experts in the ten-person corps on the island, and they also know the importance of sea ships. Even if they are forced to bear the artillery, several pirate fleet captains and various seventh-level magicians will form a team to support them immediately.
He set up a magic shield to block the cannonballs and saved more than a hundred ships.
Then a mage cast a spell, and the waves and sea wind instantly rose, blowing away the moored ships. There was nothing wrong with this response. By scattering the target, the enemy would not be able to attack again.
Seeing this, Kit's face was filled with a satisfied smile: "Hahaha, that's awesome! Our Dawn Regiment's naval combat capabilities are so strong now!"
Seeing the fire coverage that destroyed most of the hundreds of pirate ships in the blink of an eye, he was extremely excited. Super long-range accurate fire coverage?
This was the first time he knew that naval battles could still be fought like this! This was already an incredible result.
Su Lun looked into the distance with a hint of depth in his eyes.
Not satisfied with this, he also observed the position where the two Sea King-class battleships escaped, and said into the communicator again: "15.1° west by north, 215551 meters, course 33° east by south, speed 25 knots, moving target.
..Fire!”
Kit listened to him report the coordinates and tilted his head suddenly, his expression seemed to be able to speak: Is this okay?
A few seconds later, a super-large alchemical cannonball fell with lightning. It accurately hit the South China Sea Fleet's Sea King-class battleship "Black Beauty" that had just escaped from the harbor and wanted to avoid the firepower.
There was a loud "bang" sound.
This special alchemical cannonball landed on the magic shield and exploded with a terrifying air wave.
Although it did not penetrate the magic shield, it also shattered many wooden structures of the hull behind the shield. A dozen mages holding up the magic shield instantly vomited blood and died on the spot.
At the same time, dozens of cannonballs came one after another, and more than a dozen ships near the Black Beauty were also hit.
Those people also reacted very quickly. Although they were accurately locked for some reason, the wind direction suddenly changed and the entire ship immediately turned around.
Su Lun watched, and Ran Ci said through the channel transmitter: "16.5° west by north, 214881 meters, heading 25° east by south, continue launching!"
It is not easy to change the course of a sea-going ship, and the larger the ship, the more so. After they changed the course, it took a while, enough time for the cannonballs to fly again. This operation,
Kit on the side was already stunned.
Fire coverage is nothing more than that. When will artillery's ultra-long-distance shooting be as accurate as a sniper rifle? There is no satellite positioning in this world, but Su Lun himself has this function.
Just when he reported the new coordinates, a heavy alchemy bomb struck again and hit the Black Beauty. Although this time it still failed to sink the sailboat, this time, dozens of magicians holding shields were killed again.
Killed on the spot. If the enemy's combat power can be weakened by artillery shells, it is definitely worth it.
There is a sufficient reserve of artillery shells on the Evernight, and even if they are all used up, they can be produced in time in Su Lun's small void world.
At most it's just a waste of money.
What is invested now, as long as the plan is successful, will be recovered hundreds of times in the future. A one-sided artillery battle continued like this, and became more and more intense.
Tons of ammunition poured down from the sky, blowing up the pirate ships in the harbor and making them a mess. The rumble was deafening and spread to hundreds of kilometers.
With Su Lun, a human locator, calibrating the target at all times, almost no pirate ship was spared. The magicians were completely trapped and could only defend passively.
I only saw artillery shells falling all over the sky, but I had no idea where the enemy was.
The only thing they can do is to determine the direction of the ballistic trajectory, find the Evernight, and fight face to face.
Although the pirates also fired back in that direction, no matter how accurate the artillery range was, they did not pose any threat to the Evernight, which was twenty kilometers away.
The artillery battle lasted for less than half an hour.
The dozens of pirate ships that survived were scattered and protected by a large number of magicians. It was impossible to sink them. Su Lun did not think about fighting and called Kit beside him: "Let's go."
Kit was watching this special fireworks with great enthusiasm and suddenly wanted to leave. He asked: "Aren't you going to continue the bombardment?" Su Lun smiled bitterly and said: "Cannonballs also cost money, right? It's not worthwhile to continue the bombardment.
.”
After a pause, he added: "Besides, those guys who left before should have almost found the Evernight, and we have to go back."
Kit: "Oh."
A moment later, two figures appeared on the deck of the Evernight.
The bombardment continued, but now without the accurate coordinate feedback of Su Lun, they could only conduct a ranged bombardment. Seeing Chi Lun return, everyone on the deck gathered together.
"Mr. Sullen is back!"
"Oh, Mr. Kit was also rescued safely."
"Mr. Su Lun, how is the fighting over there? Did we hit it?" "-
Everyone was full of curiosity and asked all kinds of questions.
Although ultra-long-distance bombardment has been tested before, this is the first time it has been used in actual combat.
Although a large number of shells had just been fired, there was no feedback on the battle situation, and everyone always felt that something was missing. Su Lun smiled and said: "Everyone did a good job. The shelling just now destroyed at least 600 warships!" "Oh! Six hundred warships!"
?”
"Hahaha this is the most amazing naval battle I have ever experienced!"
"Oh, Miss Dora did a great job in modifying the artillery system." 20
As soon as he said this, the deck immediately burst into cheers.
As Su Lun said, he also raised his head and glanced at the girl pointing to the military room above, and smiled. Dora nodded slightly in response.
At the same time, she also breathed a sigh of relief.
Although she felt that her calculations were correct, this was also her first time participating in the battle of the Dawn Regiment, and she hoped to give everyone a good answer.
This was a brilliant victory.
Apart from consuming some ammunition, the Dawn Regiment did not suffer any personnel losses.
Su Lun said to the deck again: "Don't rest yet. Those guys from the Great God position are chasing us. There will be a battle later, so be careful."
Upon hearing this, instead of being worried, everyone burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, just now I thought that shelling was not enough, but those guys dare to come and fuck me!" "Yes, fuck me!"
"-
Although everyone laughed, they were all ready.
Gan Tiao and the others had already received Su Lun's notice to prepare for battle, and none of them relaxed.
After Su Lun returned to the Evernight, they also stopped shelling and sailed aimlessly. They looked like they wanted to escape after the shelling, but in fact they were waiting for those people to chase them.
Sure enough, not long after waiting, the observer on the observation deck suddenly shouted: "Enemy attack!"
When everyone saw it, a few nautical miles away, more than 20 pirate ships suddenly circled out from behind an island and suddenly appeared in everyone's field of vision.
Obviously, those guys also used light magic to cover up the ship, otherwise they wouldn't have been discovered so close. But it doesn't matter.
Because it was predicted in advance that the enemy had discovered it, no one in the regiment was surprised.
[Rainbow Well] There seem to be a few eighth-level magicians on the island, but Su Lun has already observed it before. These more than 20 pirate ships set off before the bombardment, so most of the ships were pirates,|King of the West Sea"
Moloch Poppin was also on board, and there were also many magicians.
Suellen didn't feel that Moloch Poppen was much of a threat.
The current combat power of the Dawn Regiment is not weak. Even if it comes to the eighth level, it is not without the strength to fight. Therefore, there is no rush for the Dawn Regiment to evacuate.
On the contrary, if you eat this wave of pirate ships, the enemy's warships will be greatly reduced.
Su Lun squinted at the battleship in the distance and reminded: "There should be masters from the Holy Army coming, everyone, please be careful."
He guessed that someone from the Holy Army should be following, but as long as it was not the eighth-level Holy Army, it wouldn't be a big problem. Everyone in Gantiao's eyes looked sharply and nodded silently.
This distance is the best distance for artillery fire. The Evernight is running and firing at the same time.
The more than twenty pirate ships are all light and fast warships. With the blessing of the wind mage, their speed is not slow and they can bite fast.
But their artillery is inferior (a lot.
Even with an absolute numerical advantage, the firepower of more than a dozen pirate ships is not as stressful as the Yongye. Moreover, the artillery sights are very poor during high-speed sailing, and the gunners' skills on the pirate ships are also ordinary, and the hit rate is very low. On the other hand, the Yongye
On the Night Horn's side, the artillery shells are as accurate as sniper bombs.
After several rounds of bombardment, the two pursuing pirate ships were sunk. "Hahaha, that's it?"
"Hey, is this the level of the West Sea Fleet?" "--
On the deck, everyone in the Dawn Regiment looked at the burning enemy pirate ship and burst into laughter. The battle was much easier than expected.
The gap in the naval battle between the two sides is too big. If they really want to force each other to fight like this, the more than 20 pirate ships have no chance of winning. The other side obviously knows this.
Therefore, we can only hope for hand-to-hand combat.
Unfortunately, there are highly skilled navigators like Tani. If the other party wants to catch up with them, it will take three days and three nights to achieve a near-event.
If the pressure continued, before the ship could press the ship's gunwale, the Dawn Regiment would be able to annihilate the opponent in a mere artillery battle. But no one was satisfied.
They all know that in this situation, master Liu Fang will appear!
Sure enough. This is it, a strange situation!
Among the people on the opposite side, a burly figure suddenly jumped out of a boat, walked on the waves, and rushed over from the sea.
Everyone at Dawn didn't recognize that this guy was the "King of the West Sea" Moloch Poppen!
Every time the notorious veteran pirate king took a step, a huge whirlpool with a diameter of more than ten meters sank into the sea surface. The running movement was like thousands of troops, with terrifying momentum.
Eighth-level professionals put a lot of pressure on people to die. The low-level crew members of the Dawn Regiment all swallowed their saliva in unison.
Barrett stood ready, and "Blood Duke" Zis also transformed into a green-faced and fanged demon form.
Kit looked at these seventh-level professionals on the boat, his pupils shrank slightly, and he admired in his heart: Everyone is so strong. However, in an instant, he suddenly felt a sharp sword energy rushing in from around him.
Turning his head to look, Qian Jiao just put his hand on the hilt of the sword. He asked in an instant, his sharp edge revealed.
Kit stood very close, feeling numb from the pressure of the seventh-level professional's domain.
Even if Qian Jiao's murderous intention was not directed at him, he still seemed to be torn apart by the sharp sword energy and wanted to retreat repeatedly. He was shocked and said in his heart: "Damn it. What this guy Su Lun said is indeed right, Qian Jiao
The article seems to be extremely powerful!"
Looking again, Su Lun and No. 19 had normal expressions on their faces. Kit had a slightly strange expression.
However, just when everyone thought that Moloch, the "Work of the West Sea", would attack first, Muran asked, and a strange scene happened in front of everyone.
In the field of vision, the image of a person teleports across the void, leaving behind a series of afterimages.
Taking a closer look, he saw a blond magician holding a staff, with a cold expression, and full of holy light.
Others may have sensed the power of the incoming person, but several seventh-level people on board the Yongye clearly sensed the fatal pressure.
Barrett frowned and said softly: "Spatial displacement? No, there is no spatial fluctuation. Everyone in the Dawn Group knew more or less some spatial spells, and they all looked pale.
No. 19 said lightly: "This is the "Power of Time". That guy is from the Holy Army." Only she and Su Lun had seen Yu Duan, so they recognized him at a glance.
Moreover, most of the Crusaders wore black and white robes that looked like nuns' uniforms, making them easily identifiable. After hearing the words of No. 19, everyone became alert.
Since Su Lun can tell people to be careful, it is definitely not easy.
And just this "time displacement" technique is already incomprehensible. This is even an enemy that people need to be more careful about than the eighth-level Moloch.
However, no one noticed that Su Lun looked at that person with a slightly weird expression...··
A journey of several nautical miles can be reached in the blink of an eye.
The blond magician in a black and white nun's uniform appeared on the deck of the Evernight. She looked at everyone with indifference and arrogance, as if she didn't take this group of people into consideration at all. She was arrogant, domineering, and scornful...
The Crusaders only see gods and mortals like ants.
Indeed, with the ability to "rewind time", no one here can kill her. However, this woman has not had time to show off.
Su Lun suddenly teleported before her eyes.
Then, with lightning speed, he stretched out his iron pincer hand, pierced the magic shield condensed by the power of time, and strangled her neck.
This woman also reacted very quickly, and the wand in her hand flickered, as if she had used some magic.
Everyone in Qianjiao on the side felt as if they were in a trance. Although they did not understand what happened, they also realized that this was happening.
Magic is definitely not simple!
Everyone's expression changed!
However, a bizarre scene happened.
Su Lun took action, and the enemy was the Crusaders. Everyone thought that no matter what, it would be a fierce battle. However,
A "click" sound of bone cracking resounded throughout the huge deck.
In the eyes of everyone who was completely confused, Su Lun easily broke the crusader's neck? Looking again, the blonde woman froze with an unbelievable expression, her head was tilted, and she seemed to have lost her breath.
.
Dead? Really dead?
Everyone who was about to take action froze in their movements and their eyes were full of disbelief. For a moment, the atmosphere became strangely quiet.
"quack"
The black crows on the mast exchanged a squawk, which brought everyone's thoughts back to reality. The woman's body was hanging in Su Lun's hand, swaying in the breeze.
I encountered it once before and was shocked.
Now that I see it, it seems like that’s it, right?
[Uroboros Time and Space Circle] The immune law level is not higher than the time and space spell of the artifact itself, which can defeat the person in front of you.
Therefore, the "back in time" just now has no effect at all.
After being immune to the power of time, the combat power of this blonde woman's body was too weak for Su Lun. Naturally, she was strangled to death.
No one spoke, it was quiet.
Finally, the tense-looking Lolota loosened the handle of the knife, which was about to burst out of water, and said weakly: "Teacher, didn't Mr. Su Lun say that the "Holy Army" seems to be very powerful? How come it doesn't seem to be very powerful?"
How are you doing?"
Not just her, almost all professionals below the seventh level didn't understand what just happened. A guy who was obviously dressed as a Crusader came across the void in a very impressive manner.
Then he came and gave me his head?
No, no matter what, you shouldn't cook like this. Everyone always feels that something is wrong.
Qian Tiao's piercing eyes flashed, and he saw something, and said meaningfully: "It's not that that guy is weak, but that Su Lun is stronger than her, and she is restrained. If Su Lun hadn't limited the time for that guy to be released just now,
Realm, you are all dead."
Everyone was surprised when they heard this: "Huh?"
They didn't expect that behind the dramatic scene just now, there was actually a fatal crisis hidden? They didn't know how serious it was.
But when everyone in Liming heard this statement, they all blurted out "fuck" in their hearts...
Not only everyone in Dawn was confused, but the group of pirates in the distance were also confused.
Moloch, the "King of the Western Sea" who was still running wildly in the sea, looked at the body held in Su Lun's hand and was dumbfounded: Lord of the Crusaders, is he dead?
