Fang Yu quietly watched the muzzle flames blooming like petals on the Aoxin Silver Fire. The shells whizzed past the cloud island and passed through the airspace pointed by the mast of the Seven Seas Traveler.
"It was a warning shot," Baggins said. "They wanted us to stop."
Fang Plover nodded, "Then let them get their wish. Their artillery is more antique and newer than the ones we found from the pirate ships, has a longer range than us, and is more powerful than us. We don't have an advantage in long-distance battles.
Just bring them closer."
After that, he turned around and said in a calm voice, "Miss Tata, lower the sails."
When the Seven Seas Traveler slowly came to a stop, a burst of cheers erupted from the Oxin Silver Fire:
"They stopped!"
"Okay, come closer!"
"But be careful, they will definitely want to give it a try."
But needless to say, none of us are newbies. Although those who can go to the sky are not as good as the members of the brigade, they are also the core elites of each guild.
The members of the Aoxin Silver Fire each had their swords in hand and took a step forward to approach the side of the ship.
The gunslingers and rangers also took up their positions, and after a while the wizards took off for the second time, following the Oxin Silver Fire from a distance.
The mast was filled with crew members, most of whom had professions like Nightingale and Shadowblade. They were holding cables and were ready to join forces for battle.
The speed of sailing in the air and on the sea is actually not very fast.
The two ships had been able to see each other early in the morning, but it took almost four tariatric moments, nearly an hour, from the second time the Oxin Silverfire emerged from behind the clouds.
The Seven Seas Traveler relied on its final inertia to gradually slide into Cloud Island, leaving only a few masts exposed.
The Aoxin Silver Fire is also gradually approaching Cloud Island.
"Go around!" shouted their president. He was a tall Duperin knight. This was a heavy-armored sword warrior. The metal gauntlet on the hilt of the sword was clenched and loosened, making it appear that
Quite excited.
The Aoxin Silver Fire drew a half-arc around Cloud Island, its swinging wing sails like snow-white fish fins.
The distance between the two is already quite close, less than two chains of ground.
From this distance, you can see the stern of the Seven Seas Traveler docked quietly behind Cloud Island.
On the stern of the Seven Seas Traveler, a fat man and a lion man pushed an antique cannon together, so that the black muzzle was facing them.
The fat man straightened up, looked in this direction, and waved to them.
The captain of the Oxin Silver Fire couldn't help being shocked when he saw this scene. He picked up the communication crystal and shouted:
"Full left rudder, raise the shield!"
But the big cat man has activated the magic circle on the artillery.
Flames erupted from the muzzle, and the shell roared over the Aoxin Silver Fire. It passed through the silver shield net that had not yet been formed, and exploded above the starboard side of the ship. This was a bomb, and the exploding shrapnel was like a
A storm of metal rained down from the Oxin Silverfire.
Pieces of gray or blue numbers rose from both sides of the ship, representing the loss of dodge and block values. If it were the age of sails on Earth, this shot would be enough to wipe out most of the people gathered on the deck.
But this is a fantasy world after all, and only a few people on the Aoxin Silver Fire fell.
The shrapnel clanked against the thick magical armor of those heavily armored professions, and had no effect other than some dents.
It was just that the hull of the Oxin Silver Fire shook violently. Captain Elan almost had to hold on to his desk to stand still. However, his many years of experience made him immediately happy. The other party used explosive ammunition. If this round was a live ammunition, it would be enough to hit the bow of the ship.
Drilling a hole of about three meters would cause huge losses.
The intermittent voice from the communication crystal gradually reported the damage:
The two masts were damaged to varying degrees. Three of the four sails of the foremast had several large holes, and the remaining one was no different than a rag.
The side sails were also damaged to varying degrees, and the Auxin Silver Fire's maneuverability was lost by at least 20%.
Two sailors died, and the Chosen One should also have suffered losses, but the other party did not notify him. Elan judged this by asking about the consumption of the sacred ether on the ship.
But luckily, it's much lighter than expected.
The opponent only wanted to kill the people on the deck, but missed the opportunity to seriously injure them.
Still too young.
He waved his fist angrily. There were seven artillery pieces on the upper and lower gun decks of the Auxin Silver Fire on each side, but he gave up the order to fight back after thinking about it.
The thought of collecting the reward still lingered in his mind.
In fact, everyone has similar ideas.
"Don't stop, move closer," the president of the Auxin Silver Fire climbed up from the deck and shouted: "Their artillery has a short range limit, seize the opponent's opportunity to reload!"
They are not too worried that the Seven Seas Traveler will take the opportunity to escape. If they want to escape, the best chance is before.
Now the two ships are almost close to each other, and the armament of the Aoxin Silver Fire's fourteen cannons is not a decoration.
"That was their last counterattack!" This is what almost everyone is thinking.
The Oxin Silver Fire was slowly adjusting its direction, turning in mid-air and ramming towards the Seven Seas Traveler with its flank.
The distance between the two ships quickly closed, quickly shrinking from two chains to less than a hundred meters.
The gunners opened fire for the first time at this distance, and the flames merged into one piece in the thick smoke, making a sound like fried beans.
However, in the bumpy environment of the air and sea, there was almost no accuracy in projecting weapons at a distance of 100 meters. The lead bullets hit the side of the ship and sent sawdust flying, but it hardly hurt the people behind.
Alyssa was looking out, her sharp eyes seeming to be able to penetrate the diffuse smoke.
She looked at the shadows moving behind like hot infrared, and while looking, she said: "Sixty-three people, half of them are aboriginal sailors. The ones who can really fight are the remaining ones, the sword warriors, the blood seekers, the shadow warriors."
Blade, Nightingale, Gunslinger and Mage, the opponent's configuration is biased toward attack."
"There may be others in the cabin below." Tang Xin sat behind a mast, holding Mirela's healing staff in her hand. Ai Xiaoxiao was beside her, responsible for protecting the only full-time priest in their team.
Alyssa nodded in agreement.
But her expression suddenly changed and she shouted in a low voice: "Be careful, they are coming!"
The sailors brought out by Elan were quite experienced. This was not their first time experiencing a battle in the air and at sea. They quickly recovered from the previous chaos and pulled the cable to let the sails of the Ocean Silver Fire cross over.
The huge three-masted sailing ship tilted towards the Seven Seas Traveler. At this time, the advantage of the higher freeboard of the big ship was fully demonstrated. The combat professionals on the Aoxin Silver Fire could reach it just by grabbing the swing rope and jumping down.
Above the Seven Seas Traveler.
It was only when they jumped that they realized the problem was not that simple.
The first ones to come over were naturally the Nightingale and Shadow Blade, which are highly dexterous professions. While these people were still in the air, they saw the Fang Plover below.
Fang Plover also raised his head and looked at these people.
He only wore a coat without any markings, and he did not carry any extra weapons on his hands. The magic furnace was hidden behind him. The people on the Aoxin Silver Fire did not recognize his occupation for a while, and then they saw him raising his hand.
The left hand raised, and the glove on the left hand.
The gloves covered with mechanical components look a bit unique
And in the entire Aitaria, there is only one type of profession that uses them.
Fang Plover turned around and said to Miss Naturalist:
"Removing the illusion."
His voice is not high.
Ten black constructs were emerging from behind him. They had slender bodies, with a little red light flashing under their pointed hats. They were squatting on the ground with their knees bent, and their mechanical arms were holding up a long
Magic gun.
The dark muzzle of the gun was pointing at the target in mid-air.
"what is that……?"
People couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
They have long known that there is a combat craftsman on this ship. But the advantage of the combat craftsman is that he can fight more with less and has excellent reconnaissance capabilities. Compared with the number of people, it is obvious that they have more manpower, and the combat craftsman in his early twenties is not very special.
A versatile and flexible construct.
Compared with the detection ability, when there is a wind element detector above Kukai, the detection scale of the battlefield is obviously beyond the limit of ordinary combat craftsmen. At least a combat craftsman of more than 20 levels has no chance to compete with a large element detector.
Superior.
Generally speaking, combat craftsmen above Kukai are more powerful in combat, but that refers to those combat craftsmen who are high enough in level to be able to control the pseudo-dragon knight, not a guy who has just left the novice stage.
The only question is, what are the models of these constructs in front of me?
When the nightingales in mid-air saw the magic gun in the hands of the dragon hunters, they already had a bad premonition in their hearts. Most of them were veterans, and they immediately instinctively made evasive actions.
Fang Yu waved his hand: "Fire."
The dragon hunters half-knelt on the ground, resting their guns on their shoulders, and pulled the triggers together. Golden flames spurted out from the dark muzzles of the guns, like ten golden threads.
The nightingales passed by each other.
The nightingales loosened the cables in unison and avoided the shot, but their balance and dodge values dropped significantly in mid-air. Then they saw the dragon hunter pull the mechanism on the magic gun.
, let the smoking shells bounce to the ground, rotate the barrel, and then raise the gun again.
"Holy shit!"
This is probably the thought that all nightingales have in mind. This thing is a continuous fire!
They could only subconsciously raise the double blades in their hands to try to block the shot. The blocking value of the dexterity profession is not high, but the flexible structure of the early twenties can still fire continuously, and the damage should not be high.
Where to go?
With this thought in mind, a golden flame flashed through the air, exploding into a ball of dazzling sparks. The nightingales' eyes widened and they were shocked by the dragon hunter's terrifying attack power before they even had time to say mmp.
The blocking value was instantly cleared, and the blades in their hands were directly bounced away. The lead bullet continued forward, penetrating the armor value of the dexterity profession that was better than nothing, and then penetrated the body, broke the bones, passed through the internal organs, and carried them away.
A bloody mist.
Only a few people were lucky enough to escape this blow, but Fang Plover didn't give them much chance. He directly asked the dragon hunter to shoot all the remaining four bullets empty in one go. In addition to beating those guys in mid-air,
Outside the sieve, there was also a pile of Aoxin Silver Fire, which was covered with a round of firepower.
As a giant magic gun specifically for the construct, the Empire Type 11 is much more powerful than the small toothpicks used by the gunslingers on the Oxin Silver Fire. Otherwise, it would not have such ridiculously high attack power. This round
The shooting almost silenced the opponent, so that no one dared to fight back for a long time.
After the smoke cleared, only a series of potholes remained on the side of the Aoxin Silver Fire.
After one round of shooting, Fang Plover did not let the dragon hunter reload again. He had specifically tested it before. Without showing off his reloading skills, it would take at least several minutes to reload the Imperial Type 11. On the battlefield,
Where is the American time?
He just asked the dragon hunters to retreat together, and then said:
"Hold the knife."
This sentence was said to Miss Tata.
Without the help of Miss Tata and Fairy Heart, he would not be able to control so many dragon hunters.
The constructs with slender limbs took a step back with a clang, their bodies lowered, their center of gravity forward, their left hand pressed on the storage device of the ancient sword, and their mechanical right hand already grasped the hilt of the sword.
Of course, the people on the Aoxin Silver Fire were not fools. They were beaten by the previous round of firepower covered by these inexplicable structures, but they hid behind the thick ship planks and were fine for a while.
At this moment, the shooting stopped, and these people immediately got up again. Before the president could see Fang Plover's movements clearly, he jumped up and shouted: "They are out of bullets, gunslinger, suppress the fire, don't let them have any refills."
A chance to pretend!”
At the same time, he turned back and gave the order: "Second echelon, step up!"
At this moment, the two ships were very close. The heavy armor class who had not jumped to the side before received the order and immediately jumped over the side of the ship.
But before they even landed, they saw someone walking out from behind Fang Plover.
I saw that the other party was wearing a strange outfit, a windbreaker and a vest, with a collar standing high, and a pointed wizard hat, with almost only one eye exposed.
The eyes were very agile. He raised them and gave them a cold look. The other person held a short staff in one hand and pushed in their direction with the other.
"Magician!"
The gunmen on the ship couldn't help but shout. Generally speaking, spellcasting professions would fly high when fighting on the sea, to prevent being affected by artillery fire on the narrow battlefield, just like before.
And they rarely see people staying on the deck to fight like this. Either they are full of self-confidence, or their brains are broken.
But obviously, the box is neither, he just doesn't know about it.
The gunmen immediately raised their guns and took aim. The magicians on the other side in mid-air were obviously not vegetarians. The moment the box appeared, they also raised their staffs and were ready for confrontation.
Battles between mages are often not direct confrontations. The way mages fight is to dismantle each other's spells and suppress each other's spell abilities.
It's just that when these people took action, their expressions became a little tense.
Because they found that the speed at which they could cast a spell was not as fast as that of the boy opposite who looked like an incomparable average. They were even higher level, but it seemed that the other party did not need any preparation time to cast the spell. They pushed their hands forward and the spell was pronounced.
Finish.
Almost all the interference spells of the four magicians in mid-air failed. Only one of them slightly caught up with the speed of the box, but it only fell on the opponent's heels.
The box only paused at the end, but immediately added a mantra silently in his heart. He didn't care about the people above him at all, and only gently pushed his hand forward. At that moment, in everyone's eyes, the force generated in the void
The field seemed to create a ripple between the two ships.
The span of the ripples was a bit astonishing. Even Fang Plover had rarely seen Box use such a large-scale force field spell, so he couldn't help but look back.
I saw transparent ripples moving forward, sweeping across a distance of less than thirty meters under the unheard eyes of people, and then hit the heavily armored warriors flying over in mid-air.
At that moment, those people felt as if they were hit by a huge flyswatter. They flew upside down, hit the side of the ship, and then rolled down into the sea of clouds.
The ripples continued to move forward and hit the starboard side of the Oxin Silver Fire. At that moment, the entire ship tilted back slightly, shuddering and making a creaking sound.
"Holy crap!" Luo Hao almost jumped up when he saw this scene, "What did that guy give you!?"
Xiang Xiang looked down at his silver-gray gloves and hesitated for a moment without speaking.
That was a gift that x gave to him and Ai Xiaoxiao before he left, one for each of them.
The rolling Aoxin Silver Fire also caused the gunslingers on the side of the ship to lose their targets one after another, and was shaken for a while.
"What are you doing for food!?" The president was so shocked that he couldn't help but hold on to the side of the boat with one hand, and turned back to curse the magicians in mid-air. Four people couldn't stop one person, let alone the opponent's level.
lower.
The four magicians suspended in mid-air also looked at each other, but sometimes the proficiency of spells really does not depend on the level. It is the same systematic value as the combat craftsman, and it can only play a supporting role in the battle.
The president turned around, and two rounds of blows finally made him realize that the opponent in front of him might not be as easy to bully as he thought. The Nightingale team was almost completely wiped out, and half of the sword warriors were lost, but the battle had to continue.
Suddenly, he had an idea, and he gritted his teeth and issued the order: "Crash it, let the ship hit it, and get on the gangplank."
He seemed to have finally realized that the Aoxin Silver Fire could still take advantage of its size.
But at this moment, the Seven Seas Traveler, which had been motionless all of a sudden, began to slowly turn its sails and move at an incredible angle.
In the imagination of normal people, it is almost impossible for a sailboat to move from stillness to motion in this way, but the Seven Seas Traveler does not stick to common sense. It is constantly adjusting its sails and tail fins, slowly floating, and rising to
Almost the same height as the Oxin Silver Fire.
Because all this happened so suddenly, the captain of the Aoxin Silver Fire, Elan, didn't even have time to order the cannon to fire. Of course, in fact, because the process of turning from static to static was too fast, in fact, even if he gave the order, the gunners were instantly
There may not be enough time to react.
The rising Seven Seas Traveler had no intention of escaping. It just faced them first and suddenly hit them with the side of the ship.
At that moment, there was a loud noise, and the Aoxin Silver Fire almost let out a long groan and tilted to one side, and everyone on the ship was knocked to the ground at the same time.
