There was a lot of noise from the fighting above, and shattered rocks fell everywhere near the mine where Raymond was hiding.
Just when Capone and Roland joined forces to attack the severely injured [Knife King] Iben, the navy in Jaffatron City also received a request for help immediately.
Naturally, the life of the general of the headquarters cannot be given up easily, not to mention that there are many senior officers receiving treatment in "Hospital No. 3". Therefore, the Naval Staff dispatched a large number of experts to rescue.
As soon as they heard that the attacker was [Blood Emperor] Capone, the people in the navy immediately realized that something was serious. The top-level extraordinary beings in the navy, such as "Chizuru" and "Peak", immediately thought of sending reinforcements.
The field hospital that was attacked...
But Enzo and Uli had already received the notice from Capone, and they also knew the reason for the unusual movement of the navy in the city.
So, how can they easily let those guys escape?
What's more, people can run away, but the hospital cannot move.
Guerrilla warfare suddenly turned into positional warfare, and the fierce atmosphere of the war reached its peak in an instant.
The two sides gathered a large number of experts and met on the ground heading to "Hospital No. 3".
Because of Capone's raid, the decisive battle between the two sides was triggered in advance.
This is something that the World Government does not want to see, but is forced to participate in.
The fierce battle lasted for most of the night, destroying nearly half of Gaffathron. In the end, the war reached a turning point with the death of Admiral Ibn Qasim Qutubi of the Navy Headquarters.
The navy's momentum was greatly defeated, and the army was defeated like a mountain.
Even if a large number of "artificial beings" participated in the war, the World Government was completely defeated this time.
I originally expected that the street fighting would last ten and a half days, but I didn't expect that the war in Gaphatron would end in one day and one night.
Of course, for the navy, the biggest loss is the death of a top powerhouse. [Knife King] Iben was also the first general of the navy headquarters to die due to war in a century.
The moment the news came out, the entire Endless Sea was in an uproar.
...
The senior staff of the World Headquarters racked their brains and could not imagine why Capone and his men would emerge from the ground to raid. How could they accurately find the location of the hospital in a place like an underground city, and how could they perfectly avoid the heavy warning of the navy?
, and how to find the abandoned mine tunnel...
Everything has become a mystery.
Except for people like Capone who participated in the hunting operation, no one knew that this was the work of a Sequence 4 swordsman.
Raymond didn't intend to commit suicide in a high-profile manner, and becoming famous was not what he wanted. He just silently followed a group of big guys to help clean up the battlefield, hiding his merits and fame...
There were still some sporadic battles in the city of Jaffatron, but they were quickly put out by the giant warriors.
Capone led the masters of the "Blood Emperor Pirates" and the giant king Uri also led the five tribes to fight out of the city overnight and rushed to major ports and shipyards non-stop.
Although the matter has been greatly defeated now, we still cannot take it lightly.
The navy failed in the land battle, but they still had absolute control of the sea. Regardless of the technological level or the number of warships, the navy was far more worried than the giants and the "Blood Emperor Pirates".
Capone, Uli and the others wanted to take advantage of the momentum to break the navy's sea blockade chain before it was completed.
The most brutal naval battle is about to take place.
...
Raymond had no intention of getting involved in a naval battle where artillery fire was insignificant. He asked everyone about their situation, and they all seemed to be doing well.
Arno went after the [Elephant King] group without incident, and seemed to have received a high-level commendation for his meritorious service in killing them.
There was no news about Loren suddenly. The silver-haired girl had always been like this, and Raymond was used to her sudden appearance and sudden disappearance.
As for Ilya, that girl was also safe and happily followed the "defeat" of the large naval force.
Well, it's not appropriate to call her "girl" now. No matter where you look at her, she is now a peerless beauty who can seduce people's hearts with every move she makes.
As if cast by magic, that pretty face that is as beautiful as a filter will always sneak into my mind on a quiet night. Of course, there is also her graceful and graceful figure...
.
Raymond felt that this goblin always shook his mind, and he would have to find a way to break this obstacle in the future...
...
Capone and Uri's large forces have already chased the navy out of the city, but Raymond and his "Ghost Pirates" are not in a hurry to go to sea.
The overall situation in Jaffatron City has been stabilized, but now the sea is the real front line, where the battle is fiercest. Obviously, risking your own life does not conform to Lei's concept.
They stayed in the city and helped the giants in the city clean up the "artificial beings" left behind before the navy force withdrew.
The harvest was pretty good, with twenty or thirty pieces scattered here and there.
As we all know, with very few exceptions, the technological level of naval warships is more than ten years higher than the world average.
The "artificial beings" exposed in this war by the World Headquarters have extremely high technological content. It can be said that these war weapons represent the most advanced collection of war technology in the world. They are the crystallization of cutting-edge technology brought together by countless scientists...
Many of these technologies are beyond the reach of even the world's top mechanics like Colin and Nicole.
There are specialties in the art, such as the biomechanical technology of "orienting simple intelligent creatures" on this steel giant, and the two of them are almost completely confused now...
However, they can dismantle some other things, such as - magic annihilation artillery!
For others, even the world's top mechanics would probably be confused when seeing something like this.
The topic of "Annihilation of Magic Energy" is a cutting-edge research topic in the world. Except for Teacher Colin and Grandmaster Connie, no one else has studied it at all.
It's like giving you a finished product of an atomic bomb. You can't just dismantle it and understand the manufacturing principles, and you can't imitate the finished product immediately.
At least, you have to understand what "nuclear fission" is.
Similarly, if you want to dismantle and copy the "Magic Annihilation Cannon", you have to understand what "Matter Annihilation" is all about.
When others pick up these damaged "artificial beings", they are probably just a bunch of iron lumps that can dismantle some high-end alloys. It is extremely difficult to dismantle the technology.
However, Colin is probably the only mechanic besides those at the World Headquarters Research Institute who understands the "principle of magic energy annihilation".
He has mastered all the theoretical knowledge, and now that the finished products are in front of him, how could he not know how those artillery pieces work?
However, the dismantling process also encountered some troubles.
Sure enough, as Colin expected, the World Government has installed many "anti-theft and self-destruction measures" on the "artificial man" to prevent technical disassembly.
Some seemingly simple lines are actually traps. As soon as you remove them, the self-destruction device will be triggered immediately, which can burn some important electrical boards, or explode violently, endangering the life of the mechanic...
Even if Colin and Nicole were careful enough in dismantling them, many "artificial beings" were scrapped.
Fortunately, Raymond got enough wreckage so that the two of them could continue their research.
Of course, this would not be possible without the full support of a certain big boss.
Mr. Capone heard from Raymond that the mechanics in the "Ghost Group" could crack and reforge the "Magic Annihilation Cannon". He agreed to his request without any hesitation, and even personally sent people to hand over most of the battlefield. Some of the remains of the androids were sent over.
This kind of well-informed strategist is the small group of people who truly realize the impact of technology on future wars.
Everyone has seen the terrifying lethality of this "Annihilation Cannon" with their own eyes. If they can master this powerful weapon, they will have some initiative in future wars.
...
I have to say that the World Government is really wealthy.
For such an "artificial human", the material cost alone is estimated to exceed 80 billion gold coins.
Mr. Lei once thought he was a wealthy pirate, but after this battle, he discovered that his entire wealth was enough to create a few such iron lumps.
Moreover, if there is no assembly line manufacturing of large-scale equipment, such as personal laboratory workshop-style manufacturing, the cost will increase exponentially.
Colin's "Annihilation Technology" research still has a black hole worth at least a trillion gold coins to fill.
Not to mention setting up an "artificial human" army like the World Headquarters, just dismantling the "magic annihilation artillery" technology would probably cost hundreds of billions of gold coins...
Raymond suddenly felt that he, the leader of the "ghost group", was so poor. Coupled with the budget of Lulu, another gold-eating beast in the group, he had even advanced a large sum of money in the future.
It’s no wonder that the original [Hunting Gun] Sidri would say that big guys like Capone are poorer, and their pockets are always empty. Only the bosses know that oil and salt are expensive, like them, a pirate group with ideals and pursuits (when One Piece, overthrowing the World Headquarters), seems to be quite hard.
But Raymond always felt that something was wrong. Those salted fish pirates seemed to be very happy. There were beauties, freedom, and wine... When they had no money, they would rob, and when they had money, they would squander it.
This seems to be what serious pirates should do?
They are engaged in biological science and cutting-edge technology, and the way they open it is completely wrong!
Raymond couldn't help but think of the small goals he set for himself when he first traveled to the world of navigation.
Damn it, you promised to be a salted fish, but why are you going further and further down the road of becoming the "Pirate King"?
...
The army was defeated like a mountain, and the World Headquarters' operation in the land of giants was a complete failure.
Not only did they fail to conspire to seize power, they even forced the entire giant race to oppose them.
The giant clan, which was originally plotted to divide the five clans into internal fighting, was completely twisted into a rope because of this battle.
Previously, due to the consumption of the civil war, the giant warriors had no time to look outside, and originally planned to settle down and fight their own civil war in a corner, rarely going to sea.
This is good, the giants have the same goal, and they have the World Headquarters as an external enemy.
Like a clenched fist, it finally revealed its terrifying destructive power a hundred times.
With Uli's order, all the major shipyards of the entire giant race began to build ships and build fleets. There are strong signs of allowing the full name to sail. Of course, this is also the most fundamental way to break the blockade of the World Headquarters.
It can be expected that in the near future, a large number of giant warriors will go out to sea to adventure, fight, and become pirates.
Like their ancestors, the giants will gradually become the strongest fighting clan on the endless sea, making all races tremble.
In this battle at the World Headquarters, I stole the chicken but lost the rice, and bought myself a big problem.
...
Uli successfully returned to his ancestors and became a "golden bloodline", which gave him unprecedented appeal among the ethnic group.
Not only him, but also his son Jiawen and younger son Thor have returned to the high-level bloodline of their ancestors.
This was regarded as a sign of great prosperity for the giant race.
Even the old men of the Voodoo tribe, who have always advocated "neutrality", this time responded to Uli's call and actively participated in the war...
Because of Lulu's existence, Uli also has some fourth-, fifth-, and sixth-generation "blood potions" in his hands that can make giants return to their ancestors... Although the effect is not as good as the previous generations, it is at least thinner than what they have now. Giant blood is countless times better.
Especially for those top-level giants who have been trapped in the bottleneck for many years, this is a fatal temptation.
The giants believe in powerful power. When Ke Long, the chief of the "Burning Thorn Tribe", was bewitched by the World Headquarters, a large part of the reason was because the conspirators used genetic medicines to make his strength skyrocket and he tasted the benefits.
Now, Uli has an atavistic potion in his hands that is obviously countless times better than that of the World Headquarters. It is impossible for the World Headquarters to use the same method to divide the giants.
For various reasons, Uli became the first giant king to unify the five clans in the giant clan for thousands of years, and his prestige was unparalleled.
However, although Raymond specifically told Uli not to reveal the relationship between the "Giant Reversion Potion" and their ghost group, some people still speculated on the truth based on some clues.
The defeat of the war was a foregone conclusion. In addition to being angry, the senior leaders of the World Government began to reflect.
On this day,
Giant King Uri returned to his ancestors and became a "golden bloodline" which was passed to the secret research institute of the Ministry of War.
Dr. Solomon H., the Minister of War, looked at the war report that had just come in, and his face was full of doubts.
The "artificial man" was exposed in advance. Although it still did not change the outcome of the war, it was still a good thing.
It can be said that if there were no "artificial beings" this time, the Navy would lose even its last bit of dignity to Gaphatron. Without those steel warriors who are not afraid of life and death, it might not just end with the death of a general of the headquarters...
Not to mention that some unreasonable aspects of the design have been discovered through actual combat, at least letting the real "big guys" know what the Ministry of War is researching will play a vital role in future wars. In the future, more research and development will definitely be allocated Resources can be considered a blessing in disguise.
But now, Dr. H saw information that made him even more surprised.
"Absolutely impossible! The mass production of blood potions means that someone has mastered the key technology of giant gene reversion! Blood reversion is the world's top bioscience technology. It is simply impossible for the voodoo warlocks of the giants who tinker with herbal medicines. Master this technique..."
Dr. H carefully read every word in the information, and the more he thought about it, the more confused he became.
The world's top technology must be under the control of the War Department of their world headquarters. It was hard for him to believe that now he saw the leakage of technology that was not under their control!
"This must have involved top biological scientists... It's strange. Could it be that it was secretly developed by some family in Hippocratic City?"
Dr. H is very sure of his conjecture. The only person who possesses this top-notch biotechnology is a biological scientist from Hippocrates, the "medical capital".
Moreover, there are only a few families in the entire world that can achieve that level!
Science is a rigorous discipline, like a pyramid, that requires accumulation from bottom to top.
It's not like theology, where you can have an epiphany.
It can be said that the best scientists in the world must be passed down from generation to generation. Especially in the top biological sciences involving "return to ancestors", without the accumulation of research for several generations, it is impossible to achieve any results. Without the guidance of famous teachers, it is impossible It is impossible to touch the most cutting-edge field...
In the entire world of navigation, the only ones capable of studying the subject of "bloodline atavism" are the three big families in Hippocratic City.
Thinking of this, Dr. H frowned. Could it be that there is a traitor within the organization?
"Come here! Check for me, the Edward family, the Scott family, the Evelyn family... and see if any of them are involved in the giant family's blood gene project..."
"Doctor, my subordinates have already investigated before...the research projects of those people are all under the control of our people, and no one is involved in the research on the bloodline of the giants."
"How is it possible? If there is such a big mess now, people from Hippocratic City must be involved! Let me investigate thoroughly. There must be something that has been overlooked..."
"Doctor, when I saw this information before, scientists from Hippocratic City must have been involved. Later, someone below reminded me that I thought of a possibility..."
"What?"
"The members of the Fritz Nero family who were asked to be 'erased' because of the 'Ackermann virus leakage' also possess top biotechnology. And according to intelligence feedback, the principal person who escaped during the 'accident' that year [ Plague Doctor】Lulu·y·Friznile is still alive, and he has been in the city of Garfartron recently!"
"You mean, the blood potion mastered by Giant King Uri was the work of the Fritz Nile family who slipped through the net?"
"Yes! Judging from the intelligence, the possibility is extremely high."
"..."
Hearing these words, Dr. H frowned and suddenly realized that he had overlooked something very important.
He had also met the genius scientist named Lulu before, and he was even half of his teacher.
He knew exactly what was going on with the "virus leakage incident" because he was the person in charge of that project!
If that kid hadn't been blamed for the virus leak incident, I'm afraid it was him, the minister, who would have been wiped out by the top brass of the World Government...
Thinking of this, Dr. H's eyes became more and more gloomy, but he vaguely felt that he had caught something important.
Biotechnology that can return to the ancestors and become "golden bloodline"... This is a top technology that even they have never mastered!
"Notify the intelligence department of the World Headquarters and ask them to send people to capture Lulu. That kid may have mastered a cutting-edge biological speed... Remember, you have to live!"
"yes!"
...
A few days later, the war in Jaffatron came to an end.
Several members of the "Ghost Group" gathered together on the "Golden Ghost" again, and they were about to start a new adventure.
Raymond asked: "Anna, where is our next destination?"
The beautiful navigator lady pointed to the giant tree above her head with a smile, and said: "Hehe...it is said that there is an ancient country on the top of the 'Tongtian Sacred Tree'. Do you want to see it?"
Everyone: "Heaven?"
"Um!"
Anna smiled mysteriously.
"go!"
Hearing this, little silver stars suddenly appeared in everyone's eyes.
