Polu stood in the crowd in the back row and listened to the entire interrogation process. He felt very incredible. However, the authenticity of the news was very guaranteed. Zhu Yiwei had just cast a lie detector spell on several people.
"What?" Bolu picked his ears: "What did I hear?"
"Are these craftsmen stupid? They all know that others have taken advantage of the boat, but they still use such...a strategy full of loopholes? Are they afraid that others will kill people and destroy their bodies in the end?"
"Then what plan do you think they can come up with? Although the people behind the scenes are definitely not afraid of such a group of craftsmen with no credentials, the possibility of keeping them working is indeed very high. But in order to get rid of them once and for all, it is not impossible to kill them directly. Ship Shop
All the points have been wiped out, the attack was ruthless enough."
Bolu thought about it:
"I don't think they really intend to move the craftsmen at all. If they really take the people away, there will be no miners or mines. What will they be processing? To make such a big move, unless there is a leap in transportation capacity, it will not be possible in this place.
The transportation capacity is definitely more cost-effective to transport semi-finished products or even finished products, but can we also transport rough materials? Doesn’t it mean that the ore we want is not as expensive as the freight? It’s no good, what are they trying to do?”
Having said this, Polu turned back and asked little Irene: "Speaking of which, do these things belong to the boat shop? Why did they beat up the boat shop?"
She shook her head: "Of course it's not owned by the shipyard. The shipyard is the sales channel for crystal. This mine belongs to the Sixth Regiment. The shipyard is just running errands and dividing the profits. I don't know what they do with the shipyard. It can't be
Do you want to run this channel yourself?"
"The Sixth Regiment still has mines? Then why don't they take care of it themselves?"
"They are not the same as us. They seem to have many things in common. This mine may be it. It is impossible for the Sixth Regiment to live in the mine, right? Even if they have received the news, it will take several days to cross the mountain to get there.
to here."
"Speaking of which, we only came here to protect our channels and buy some mines. If they were bandits, we would kill them. What's the situation now? According to the bandit boss, another knight group is coming to grab the territory?"
It was so messy that Bolu felt his head hurt.
"Then it won't be our turn to fight. The Sixth Regiment of this mine will definitely be protected to death."
"Then what if they come? Do we want an all-out war? Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"
Before the few people could reach a conclusion through discussion, suddenly the people on the mast shouted to the people below: "There is a ship approaching from behind."
"Isn't it their rescue ship that's coming?" Polu said heartbrokenly, "I'm such a crow's mouth!"
"Prepare to defend!" Leonardo's shout came: "Get away from the dock!"
"! Even if I was prepared for the pressure, it wouldn't be so fast! It would take at least a few minutes!"
This thing is not a diesel engine, it is not the kind of little guy that can make a sudden burst of energy when you pull a rope! Polu stretched out his hand and suppressed the energy to the maximum, and the rays began to violently convert water into water vapor.
Leonardo shouted on the deck: "Untie the rope, untie it! Jump back quickly! Set up the cannon! Don't be in a daze! Run quickly and find a place to hide!"
Gradually, we can see the boats coming from the other end of the river. They have no trackers and no oars. They can't see what they are driving. Polu is anxious, but he can't start now. If the pressure is not enough, if necessary,
If you accelerate too hard and can't move, you're doomed.
The alchemist Needham stood on the bow of his fleet, high-spirited and intoxicated with his success.
"A ship that does not need to be pulled by human power! What a great progress! From now on, I can travel on all the rivers in the world!"
Although there is a legend in the royal capital that a ship faster than a war horse once appeared, but no one has seen it again since then. Everyone tends to think that the boys were too drunk and saw it wrongly.
He thought for a while: "How can there be such a thing, which is faster than a war horse? Do they know how much power this requires? It can't be done!"
Suddenly, he saw two strange-looking ships docked at the pier in front of him.
"What kind of ship is that? Do you know it?"
A man in black beside him said in a deep voice: "I don't know him."
The man in black turned back: "Everyone is on alert!"
As the distance got closer, the metallic luster of the unpainted hull gradually became apparent.
This made Needham full of jealousy: "I told the Duke that steel shipbuilding was the way forward in the future, but he didn't believe it. I wanted to experiment with a little steel, but he was denied, saying that it would use up a lot of armor steel. But
There are actually ready-made metal ships here! If I can own this kind of ship hull, I will definitely, definitely can become the greatest alchemist! Reproduce the glorious era of alchemists!"
After taking a breath, Needham thought about the cost of building an iron ship. He hesitated and carefully observed the ship: "It doesn't have any magic circle on it. How does it move? Is it pulled up by manpower?"
But not being able to see the magic circle meant that the ship had no shield. He said to the man in black beside him: "Can we take this ship? This ship has the technology we need."
The man in black looked at the metal ship that was not too far away, hesitated, and asked: "Will it help our channel plan?"
"It will be of great help. The metal cargo ship will be comprehensively improved. I observed that there is no magic circle on this ship, which means that it has no shield and no long-range spell attack capabilities. Other information needs to be obtained and studied. If it can be combined with
The combination of our research results will be of great help."
The man in black nodded and looked at the burly warriors with fierce eyes in the cabin behind him.
"It's just a merchant ship. Without magic attacks, there's nothing to be afraid of." He persuaded himself: "How many guards can be installed? It's impossible to defeat this group of Nazwa warriors! Just kill them all! Be clean.
, dismantle it after the research is completed, and no one will be able to find it.”
Having made up his mind, he took out a blue flag and waved it in the air. The boats lit up with magical light almost at the same time. They suddenly spread out and formed a small circular formation to surround the river.
.
The width of the river here is only about 200 meters. According to Needham's idea, this is already a dragnet, and they have nowhere to escape!
Boru looked back and stared at the opponent's progress while staring at the slowly rising pressure gauge.
The other side had already shown obvious intention to attack. He looked at the experimental ship ahead which had sounded its whistle and started to move, and said to Zhu Yiwei: "Can you do me a favor and open a loudspeaker array?"
She nodded and swiped the air casually: "You can talk now."
"Please note the ships behind us. This ship is exercising the right of innocent passage in this water area. Please do not attack us!"
There was a burst of loud laughter from the ship that was already close to 200 meters away. They accelerated further, and soldiers with weapons walked onto the bow deck, showing a ferocious and bloodthirsty smile.
"Repeat! This ship is...fuck you!"
Polu saw a burst of blood-red light on the small boat that was already 100 meters away, and the javelin flew towards the tug like a bullet.
Seeing the blood-red light, Polu knew that his side must be at a disadvantage in melee combat. He no longer waited and pushed the joystick directly, sending basically enough steam to the cylinder under the ship. The propeller began to stir violently, and the ship
He staggered violently and pushed sideways away from the pier. The waves caused by the propeller even rushed directly onto the pier.
Bolu shouted in the loudspeaker circle: "Fire! Fire! Full counterattack!"
The javelin was already flying overhead when Polu shouted the first word. Because of the unimaginable lateral movement of the tugboat, more than half of it missed, and the rest hit the 15mm steel shell with a clanking sound.
Part of it was ejected into the water, and the other part was stuck in the hull of the ship.
Fortunately, the bulkheads of the personnel cabin have been reinforced, and all the javelins that hit the outer wall of the personnel cabin were not able to penetrate. The violent metal vibrations made Bolu's ears buzz, and he shook his head, a little scared: "
,Fortunately, two layers of armor were added to the superstructure!”
Leonardo's angry roar came from the lower deck: "It's Nazwa's son of a bitch! All loaded with single-point bullets! Come on, get up! Get the gun!"
Leah carried a shield and rushed in while protecting little Irene. She said to Zhu Yiwei, who still maintained a calm expression: "Do me a favor, please guard the cab. I'm going to fight at the back."
Zhu Yiwei nodded, and Leah picked up her shotgun and rushed out again. The two gunners on the front deck just lost their balance in the fierce swing. Now the soldier who had just stood still pulled the bolt, and the 20mm machine gun started firing.
Roaring. One of them loaded the shells into the gun mount, and the other fired, launching a fierce attack on the small boat that was approaching 30 meters from the side!
The boat that came up from the side aimed at him with a strange object, and the magical aura gradually gathered on it. This gave Bolu a very bad premonition. He turned the helm fiercely, and the ship's hull rotated at an angle.
A string of missiles passed by the front of the cab and shattered the windshield.
Debris flew around the cab, creating ripples on the shield held up by Zhu Yiwei.
"There is also a long-range one on the opposite side! From the cannon position, be careful to knock out the spell missile launcher on the opposite side!"
Bolu straightened up and saw that the experimental ship had turned sideways in front, and the cannon on its front deck had also fired violently, and the shells were raining down on the ship that had just fired the missiles.
The gunner, who finally regained his footing from Polu's big swing, fired again. A dull knocking sound was heard, the cartridge fell on the deck with a clanking sound, and the palm-long shells tilted out towards the small boat.
The shields arranged on the ship gradually dented inward under the impact of kinetic energy, until cracks appeared and the sound disappeared.
The reinforced wooden bulkheads could not withstand the bombardment of the 20mm steel-core bullets. The fibers were shredded by the passive energy and penetrated, sending a cloud of blood mist out of the bow of the ship, which was operating the magic weapon to recharge.
The boat, riddled with holes, suddenly stopped, seemed to lose control, and came to a halt.
The tugboat was accelerating at full speed, but it was just a tugboat, not a speedboat, and acceleration was not its strong point. At this time, the three small boats following the attack just avoided the shooting angle of the cannon on the front deck, and were approaching less than 10 meters away.
Got it!
Some ropes with hooks were thrown up, and the blood-red fighting spirit rushed towards the ship.
"Well done! Fire!" Leonardo's excited roar came from the lower deck, and the intermittent sound of shotguns suddenly rang out downstairs.
Polu, who heard the sound of metal hitting something, turned around and saw several ropes draping the second-story passenger cabin. He was so worried that he let go of the steering wheel on the spot.
"Little Erin, let's drive!" We are about to reach the top speed, just accelerate in a straight line and run away. Anyway, everyone has tried how to drive a boat these days when they are bored.
He rushed to the wall, grabbed the shotgun, grabbed a few more magazines, put them in his arms, and ran towards the back cabin.
A blood-red figure flew up with a rope. Boru, who was running, happened to see Leah holding a shield in her left hand and putting a shotgun on the gap in the shield with her right hand. She fired all the bullets from the shotgun in one breath and was still spraying.
The red mist, it was unclear whether it was his fighting spirit or his blood, but this figure still managed to bump into it, but it just pounced on him. After a muffled sound, he slid down silently, pulling out a slit on the hull of the ship.
Traces of blood.
Another figure showed his head. Boru saw that Leah was taking a step back to change the magazine, and shouted: "I'll do it!" He just ran to the position and thrust the muzzle of the gun into this figure with a thrusting gesture.
His head was revealed with a ferocious smile.
Continuous gunshots from semi-automatic shotguns rang out.
