The ceiling above the head was making creaking sounds, the floor under the feet was shaking constantly, and everything in sight was shaking and breaking. Through the cracked wall, one could even see that a huge beam running through the hull had been bent.
There was a curvature visible to the naked eye, and when the beam was completely overwhelmed, it was the moment the ship was completely destroyed.
This camouflaged passenger ship has been under siege by three pirate ships for two full hours. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for a few pirate ships to defeat such a large ship equipped with super-standard defensive firepower. However, I have been exposed to comprehensive defense since I was a child.
The educated Charlemagne Ys could tell at a glance that the three gray airships outside were just the shells of pirate ships. The magic flashes erupting from under the black iron deck were dazzling golden red.
Only the highest purity magic energy focusing crystal can produce brilliance. This crystal can be used to make artillery, which is a treatment that even the regular army may not enjoy.
This is a trap, or in other words, this trip has been accompanied by a deep conspiracy from the beginning.
However, it is completely meaningless to consider traps and conspiracies at this time. No matter how sensitive the political nerves are, they cannot prevent the suspension of the floating engine and the breakage of the hull at this time. The most important thing is to find a way to save the ship.
If he couldn't be saved, he had to at least ensure that one of himself and his sister could reach the empire safely, and tell His Majesty the Emperor, who had dragon bloodline, what happened today.
"boom!!"
A burning crystal shell penetrated the White Pearl's already riddled magic shield and exploded outside the VIP cabin. The bulkhead could not withstand such an explosion and was directly shattered into pieces, while a powerful shock wave rushed into the cabin.
A guard standing near the window was blown out before he could react and lost his life in mid-air. Charlemagne activated the pendant on his chest at the critical moment, and a translucent barrier blocked him from the shock wave.
between.
Several guards who had stayed outside the room and dressed as ordinary passengers rushed in. Their foreheads were bleeding and they looked like ghosts from the Gorgon Abyss. Apparently, the previous explosion had also affected them.
"Your Highness the Prince!" a guard shouted nervously. The smoke and sawdust that filled the room made it difficult for them to see Charlemagne's situation. They could only see a crumbling magic barrier shining slightly in the center of the room. "You are okay.
Bar?!"
A breeze blew away the smoke and dust in the room, and a disgraced Charlemagne came out: "I'm fine, where is Evana?"
"Her Royal Highness the Princess is still in the magic center," one of the guards shouted loudly. The continuous artillery fire outside made him have to yell at his prince to understand what he said. "The three power columns have been shut down. Her Royal Highness the Princess is still in the magic center."
Find a way to restart the center, otherwise the whole ship will lose power..."
As if to echo the words of this personal guard, a strange scream came from inside the airship again, and then everyone felt their feet swaying, and the entire ship tilted in a certain direction, and it was already overwhelmed.
The main support beam made a terrible crackling sound deep in the hull.
Charlemagne knew what happened: the output of the magic center was severely reduced, and the weak magic it output was not even enough to keep one-third of the airship's aeronautical engines running. After losing most of the aeronautical engines, it was still
The running aerodynamic engine became the fatal point that tore the entire ship apart.
Charlemagne glanced at the guards around him. These brave warriors were all experienced warriors. They could fight one against ten ordinary soldiers under any circumstances, but on a crumbling airship, it was impossible to defeat them again.
Excellent swordsmanship and magic are of no use.
At the beginning of the attack, he thought it was an ordinary pirate incident, so he prepared his sword and magic stone. As long as the pirates dared to jump on the ship and start plundering, he would be confident that the pirates would board the ship.
The gangsters on the ship killed all the royal members of the Isugu Kingdom. They never relied on dining etiquette and waltzes to govern the kingdom, but the subsequent development was different from what they imagined.
The pirates used firepower that exceeded that of the regular army to continuously bombard and chase the ship. They had no intention of looting at all, which revealed a lot of information.
Charlemagne and his heroic bodyguards also lost their use.
The prince gritted his teeth: "Go to each cabin and gather all the people who can be saved. Women and children are given priority, and bring them all to the restaurant. You, go and inform Evana and ask her to give up the magic center and save all the people who can still be saved.
Bring the used power column to the restaurant. Tell the captain to give up counterattack, concentrate the energy on the engine, and get as close to the empire border as possible before the flying ship disintegrates. Once the ship disintegrates, activate the escape circle under the restaurant."
One of the guards hesitated for a moment: "But Your Highness, we are above the rift in the world. This place is far away from any magic node. It is very likely that we will be transported directly to the core of the world..."
"But there is a half chance of being safely sent to the surface," Charlemagne waved his hand vigorously, "Don't ask so many questions, this is an order!"
The guards nodded and turned around to leave, but at this moment, a sharp-eyed guard suddenly noticed something appearing above the clouds.
Since the walls of the cabin have been completely lifted off, you can see the sky outside just by looking up.
"Look over there!! There's another ship! A... weird ship!"
Charlemagne looked in astonishment at the direction pointed by his guard. He had already seen the ship. It was a large ship several hundred meters long, almost the same size as the "Galo" class battleship of the ancient Isugu Kingdom.
It shines silvery-white in the sun, with an indescribable aura of power and majesty, but it has no magic sails, no rippling elemental wakes, and the shape of the hull is an unprecedented rectangular parallelepiped.
Like a palace with simple lines in the sky, it rushed out of the clouds diagonally, as if it had fallen.
Considering that it had neither magic sails nor elemental wakes, and it didn't look like something that could fly, Charlemagne thought it might have fallen.
Then this strange "falling" airship hit the one with the most fierce firepower among the three pirate ships, and directly smashed the latter into a sky full of fireworks.
Charlemagne's eyebrows jumped, feeling that the ship was really falling.
But soon the strange silver-white airship stopped its downward trend, raised its bow and slowly adjusted its course, aiming at the next pirate ship...
Charlemagne blinked: Well, it seems it didn't fall.
One of the three pirate ships was smashed on the spot, and the other two were stunned. After the last round of crystal-burning shells were hit on the White Pearl, the two pirate ships fell into a strange state of silence.
The undisciplined pirates seemed a little overwhelmed after losing their boss and losing them in this way.
The White Pearl is also silent, because it no longer has any extra power to take any action. Being able to stay afloat is the biggest miracle this ship has shown.
The scene was very embarrassing for a time.
But when the Giant Turtle Yantai completed its lift and slowly adjusted its angle to aim at the next pirate ship, this embarrassment was finally broken.
The two pirate ships adjusted their course and artillery firing angle at the same time. As desperadoes all year round, they chose the most instinctive response plan: kill this uninvited guest who suddenly broke in.
Although the ship was very large, it had no magic sails and no elemental tracks. It didn't look like it could fly well. It might be easy to bully. It just fell at the right angle to knock the boss off.
The boat was just smashed.
And the fact that it fell down is a good indication of the problem. This ship really can't fly well. Although it can barely regain its height now, it might be broken after just a few hits. Then it will be an additional sum of money.
Input.
Anyway, the "White Pearl" is hopeless, and the airship that lost power is just meat on the chopping board.
After the great pirate Kant cured his headache, the average IQ of his pirates was obviously not enough.
All in all, dozens of bright lines of fire quickly cut through the sky and fell towards the Giant Turtle Rock Platform.
A series of explosions erupted on the energy shield of the star battleship, but the shield did not even shake.
Then it adjusted its angle and crashed straight into the second pirate ship.
Continuous crystal-burning shells bombarded this strange "airship" like raindrops, but the grand explosion could not hinder this large battleship at all. Its speed was even getting faster and faster. When the second ship
When the pirate ship realized that something was wrong and hurriedly tried to avoid it, the collision was completely unavoidable.
A loud noise even dispersed the clouds high in the sky. Charlemagne and his guards watched helplessly as the pirate ship crashed into a piece of scattered debris on the bow of the silver-white ship. After several balls of fire, for a time
The mighty pirate ship was completely terminated, turned into wreckage and fell into the rift in the world below.
What happened next made everyone feel cold: the silver-white ship adjusted its direction again and began to accelerate towards the third pirate ship.
The previous bombardment of white-haired burning crystal artillery shells did not leave a single trace on the silver-white armor of this ship.
The remaining pirate ships finally realized that a disaster was coming. The frightened pirates frantically adjusted their course to avoid this "savage monster". However, they escaped too late, or the speed of the pirate ship was weird compared to the one on the ship.
The spaceship was too slow in front of them. When Charlemagne saw the "silver airship", he quickly caught up with the pirates who started to escape, and chased tenaciously for a short distance, and finally smashed it into pieces.
On the bridge of the Giant Turtle Yantai, Nolan's holographic image clapped his hands: "Done, handmade."
"Hang a ring of heads on the side of the ship, and you don't look like a good person at first glance." Vivian thought of the appearance of the three pirate ships and couldn't help but frown, "But then again, why do they have to hit them?"
"What can I do? The cannons can't be used." Nolan spread his hands, "Besides, I've been working as a shipwreck for such a long time, and I haven't tried a ramming battle yet. It's fun."
"Are you not dizzy?" Hao Ren glanced at Miss Ship Girl with concern.
"It's okay, just the aircraft in the atmosphere are very brittle," Nolan waved his hand, "My head is strong!"
