On the calm sea, sporadic gunfire sounded, and dark red tracks intertwined one after another, indicating that the battle was still going on, and the night was still long, as if it had never been the same.
Shrike sat on the ground tiredly, with several empty bottles of Florund's potion beside him, as well as some simple dried meat, to simply fill his stomach and restore energy.
In front of him was the tall weapon master, which was fixed to the deck by cables. The technicians carried tool boxes and hurriedly repaired it. The third-generation armor and the black angel were not here, and they suffered greater damage.
, and because no one could pilot it for the time being, it was returned to the cabin and maintained by the technicians of the Perpetual Pump.
For a mortal like Shrike, driving the Original Sin Armor is not an easy task, let alone participating in such a fierce battle while driving it.
The spirit had been tense for so long that Shrike almost fainted after taking off his armor.
He looked tiredly at the somewhat silent deck. Everyone was silently performing their work. Invisible pressure suppressed everyone. The factors were complex, such as the purpose of this operation, the fierce battle, and the air force.
The black angel without one...
Shrike was too lazy to continue thinking. He comforted himself that he should get used to the "surprise" brought by Lorenzo.
"How do you feel now?"
Haybold came over. He was now fully armed to face the danger that might come at any time.
"I'm okay, at least I won't die." Shrike took a big bite of the dried meat and devoured it. "How about Blue Jade."
"It was a bit bad. When the technicians used saw blades to dig her out of the third-generation armor, her arms were torn out by broken steel with several wounds, and a piece of metal penetrated her shoulder."
Heibald described Blue Jade's injuries. Listening to this, Shrike had no idea of eating for a while, but after thinking about the possible danger, he still forced himself to swallow and gather strength.
"But she's still conscious," Haybold said.
Arriving aboard the Morning Glory Advance, he saw the Original Sin Armor for the first time, but he didn't feel any sense of the technological gap in his heart. Instead, he was afraid of these beasts that were a combination of steel and flesh.
When seeing the arrival of the Black Angel, this fear was aroused to the greatest extent.
Heibald also walked behind Black Angel at that time and saw the cracked gap, filled with ferocious flesh and blood, and the slightly swaying connecting wires, which were undulating with the metal, as if they were breathing.
Smelling the thick blood in it, Heibald felt like he was facing a beast with an open mouth. However, Lorenzo, Shrike and others had to step into such a mouth personally and let themselves be swallowed by it...
…
It's like giving yourself up as a sacrifice to some unknown weirdo in exchange for power.
"Don't think too much, Hebold. What's happening now is under control. You have to get used to these things." Shrike probably felt the change in Hebold's mentality, so he comforted him.
"What's more, the battle is not over yet. No matter what we do, we should wait until it is over first."
Shrike looked at the other end of the sea. Under the moonlight, he could see the vague shadow of the armored ship. Then several dark red light spots expanded in the field of vision. Some of them hit the Morning Glory Advance, making a harsh sound.
Some were obvious, and some fell into the sea, causing a splash.
"It seems they still refuse to let us go." Shrike looked at the pursuing armored ship and said helplessly, "I really don't know what they are thinking."
"It seems that they probably guessed that Ascalon is temporarily unable to fire."
Seeing this, Heibald said, and then looked at the giant cannon at the end of the deck.
The majestic cannon now had its muzzle drooped, supported by several temporary iron frames to ensure that it would not crush the deck.
Blue Jade really tried her best to protect Ascalon, and because of her efforts, Ascalon was not damaged. What was damaged was the ring lift that supported the muzzle of the muzzle. They were attacked by the intruding monsters.
After Ascalon fired, the recoil caused these supports to completely collapse.
Without the support of the ring lift, Ascalon's muzzle was fixed in one position, making it difficult to aim. For these reasons, the Morning Glory Advance lost the ability to snipe armored ships from long distances and could only
Keep a distance from them and fight with them.
"Not only that, they have the upper hand in numbers, but there are also those crazy demons who are chasing us in pursuit of victory, while we are escaping all the way... Fortunately, the Morning Glory Advance is fast enough, and they can't catch up with us," Haibold said.
good news.
"But if Lorenzo doesn't come back, we will be overtaken by them."
The shrike stood up slowly and looked at the cliff to the side.
The Morning Glory Advancing cruised around the Lengbing Bay until it reached the back of it, which is the cliff, waiting for Lorenzo's arrival. The distance that was thrown away before was also shortened during this waiting time. It is estimated that
Soon, the armored ships will catch up, and it will be another fierce battle.
"Besides, I'm curious about how Lorenzo climbed up." Shrike continued.
Due to the reefs in the water and other reasons, the location where the Morning Glory Advance stopped was a long way from the cliff. Without the help of the Original Sin Armor, it would be difficult for Lorenzo to quickly cross such a distance with his personal ability and reach the Morning Glory Advance.
Hui Jinjin.
"It's better to wait and see what he will do. Anyway, in this case, I won't be surprised at all."
Another voice sounded, and Seliu came over.
The girl also looked fully armed, with a folding knife and dagger hanging on her waist, and an unlit thermite rifle in her hand. After encountering the demon, Shrike opened the arsenal and ordered everyone to be armed.
This was a really bad night, not only the beginning of the war, but also the beginning of everyone's nightmare, and no one can see the end of this nightmare.
Suddenly the deck shook slightly and the elevator started to work. Shrike immediately looked there with alert eyes.
The elevator goes straight to the cabin at the bottom, where the Original Sin Armors are stationed. No one can use them without the Shrike's signal, and logically speaking, the armors should be being repaired now.
"I guess this is how Lorenzo comes back."
Seliu guessed what happened immediately. She looked calm and accepted this barely new thing very calmly.
As expected, the Black Angel appeared on the deck again. Although it looked a little bad, and most of its armor was damaged and fell off during the battle, this did not hinder its actions.
The fuel tank filled with lacquer antimony was placed behind it. It glanced at the shrike and then spread its wings.
Shrike watched the Black Angel leave, and the strong wind blew his thoughts into confusion.
"If you think about it carefully, every time Lorenzo appears is very interesting... Is this considered an artistic pursuit?"
Shrike glanced at Seliu next to him, and Seliu waved his hand, as if he didn't know.
A few minutes later, a burning trail streaked across the sky. Black Angel shot out a hook and pulled himself back to the deck of the Dawn Advance. The armor opened, steam gushes, and amid the smoke, Lorenzo climbed out.
"Luo..."
Shrike was about to call Lorenzo's name, but then Lorenzo's figure fell down. As if he had lost all the support of his strength, he fell off the back of the Black Angel and collapsed on the ground, unconscious again.
Various voices shouted, and blurred faces filled Lorenzo's vision, but he couldn't hear or see clearly. He was too tired and lost consciousness.
"What...is going on?"
Haybold looked at the unconscious Lorenzo and was helpless for a moment.
This was too sudden. No one has ever seen the invincible Mr. Holmes fall one day. In Heibald's understanding, Lorenzo is synonymous with strength. Nothing can defeat him, and nothing can defeat him.
No matter what desperate situation can trap him, Lorenzo will never let him down. No matter what kind of powerful enemy he is, he can fight against it.
But Lorenzo fell before his eyes.
"Ship doctor!"
Shrike shouted, and he carried Lorenzo hard. He could feel that Lorenzo's breathing was still steady, but his consciousness fell into coma.
The ship's doctor also hurried over, carrying a medical kit and checking Lorenzo on the spot.
I opened his closed eyelids, checked his heartbeat, and then looked at whether there were any injuries on his body. These ship doctors were quite professional. Before boarding the ship, they all participated in the emergency training at Black Mountain Hospital, which included what to do.
Take care of Lorenzo.
As for the content, it is actually very simple. Lorenzo was overdosed according to normal medical treatment. It probably means that there is no need to care about medical common sense. The dosage of all drugs used is doubled. If this cannot save Lorenzo, then Lorenzo
It's probably hopeless. After all, demon hunters' bodies are much stronger than mortals. With the blessing of secret blood, they are like immortal monsters. When such monsters also go to death without hope, mortal doctors
What can be done?
Of course, an autopsy still needs to be done. In the words of Dean Abigail, if Lorenzo accidentally died at the end of the world, these ship doctors would work hard to bring Lorenzo's body back and make a contribution to the medical community.
Final contribution.
"There's nothing wrong with him. He was probably too tired and fell into a coma. After a while, he might wake up."
The ship's doctor stood up and said to the others. After hearing this answer, everyone felt a little more relaxed.
Little things, they are all little things, Lorenzo is not dead yet, this guy will be full of life again after lying down for a while.
Shrike also took a long breath. If Lorenzo died or something went wrong, there might really be no hope for this operation against the end of the world.
However, this is also the first time Shrike has encountered such a situation, and Lorenzo will fall into a coma due to mental exhaustion.
"Is it because of you?"
Shrike thought, looked at the black angel beside him, and whispered.
This was the first time Lorenzo had shown such an ability. This made Shrike think about whether Lorenzo was behind the Black Angel's previous disturbances. He thought he knew Lorenzo well enough.
But suddenly he felt that the distance between the two became very far.
"Please take care of him first. If he wakes up, let me know immediately," Shrike said.
The ship's doctors nodded, loaded Lorenzo onto the stretcher, and carried him to the medical room.
"You should also come along."
Shrike glanced at Seliu and said to her.
Seliu nodded and didn't say much. Even if Shrike didn't say so, she was ready to go with him.
Looking at the disappearing people, Shrike stood still a little dazed, but the impact of the cannonballs called him back, and bursts of smoke rose from both sides of the ship's side, making Shrike realize that the battle was not over yet.
"Notar speed up! Get away from here!"
Shrike rushed into the command room and shouted to Notal.
After a brief lull, Notar finally put on his clothes, but even so, he kept sneezing, and it seemed that he was probably cold.
"Where should we go after leaving here?"
Notar asked back, and he smashed the dashboard hard, extremely angry.
"Damn monsters, once they come, these readings will be inaccurate."
Most of the pointers were rotating rapidly, and even the compass that pointed out the road was rotating crazily. Looking at the night sky, heavy dark clouds surrounded it again, and the moonlight extinguished little by little until there was no trace left and it fell into darkness.
"The residual erosion is affecting these and I can't find the channel now."
Notar looked serious. This was the first time in his sailing career that he had encountered such a thing. Although he knew about the existence of monsters, this was also the first time he had fought a sea battle with monsters.
Shrike didn't know what countermeasures to take for a while. Too many things happened tonight, and these things were far from over.
Violent vibrations sounded again, and a cannonball smashed along the edge of the hull, destroying all the fences of several meters and falling into the sea. The terrace gun on the deck began to adjust its direction and fire back.
"Get out of here first...at least put some distance between you and them," Shrike said.
After so many battles, the Dawn Advance has been scarred, and it still has a certain fighting capacity. However, after being entangled for too long, Shrike is not sure whether they can still deal with the threat in the Silent Sea.
Moreover, judging from the previous battles, the enemy has no tactics at all. They are like a group of crazy beasts, chasing the Dawn Advance relentlessly. Once they catch up, it will most likely be a life-or-death situation.
"All right."
Notar said nothing more. He smashed the compass again, hoping that it would be normal, but the pointer turned faster.
He was too lazy to dwell on this and glanced at the dark outside world. Unknowingly, all the light had been lost on the sea. In the darkness, only the Morning Glory Advance and the armored ships behind it were left. They were like chasing each other.
Fireworks.
The Dawn Advance began to accelerate forward, entering the endless darkness.
