After entering Skid Plattney's Ark, everyone was originally walking on a corridor that was large enough for six people to walk shoulder to shoulder. As they walked, they found that the corridor had become unusually open.
"Is it my imagination?" Verne finally couldn't help it anymore and asked: "It was obviously a straight corridor, but it seemed to suddenly become wider? But the walls on both sides are straight, not curved?"
"It's not an illusion. This is the characteristic of the Ark." Arthur replied.
Although he is not particularly clear about the structure of Skid Plattney's Ark, the characteristics of the Ark are generally what people have heard about. This is part of the Ark's defense system. All ancient warships should have similar defense systems, but
The ancient artifact-level Skid Plattney's Ark applied this system to its fullest potential.
The space inside the Ark can be controlled by the system, expanding and contracting at will. That is just an application of subspace magic. Just seal a certain section or room appropriately, and then "inject" subspace into that section or room.
The space will expand, and it can become several times or even dozens of times larger than the original. The reverse is of course also possible, but using the negative entropy of subspace to shrink the space is extremely inefficient.
If the controllers of Ark have this idea, they can even use this mechanism to control the invaders in a certain area, relying on the ever-expanding subspace to drain the invaders' physical strength, making them spend more time than before.
It takes ten times the physical strength to reach the destination. Naturally, the space cannot expand infinitely, but this is good enough. Moreover, the expansion of space also means that the surrounding battle space becomes wider. Once the combatants and invaders are inside the battleship,
The damage to the interior of the battleship caused by engagements and battles will also be suppressed and reduced as much as possible.
There is another benefit to doing this.
King Arthur heard footsteps in the distance. He slowed down and winked at everyone.
More than thirty enemies appeared, five of them were papal knights and the others were members of the Holy See Crusaders. These people set up their posture and attacked in a crescent-shaped formation.
Yes, if you fight in a small space, the numerical advantage will not be obvious. But if the space becomes larger, the party with the numerical advantage will have more site advantages to form a siege camp. And the invading party usually has a small number of people.
The side that is besieged in the battleship will naturally be in a disadvantageous situation.
The five papal knights didn't have much, so they released their evil spirits when they came up. The evil giants held giant bows and arrows and aimed at Arthur and his party with a fierce momentum. If they were in a narrow space, these evil spirits wouldn't even have room to move.
No, naturally I can't show my strength.
But the same situation happened on Arthur's side. He summoned [Legion - Winged Angels] and used the wings of the Winged Angel Golems to block the first wave of giant arrows from the enemy evil spirits.
"It looks like this will be a protracted battle." He.
"Or not." Verne also summoned the [Legion - Gun Formation], and responded to the opponent with a series of artillery fire during the gap after the opponent fired. Because the [Gun Formation] heavy ballistae is far more powerful than the opponent's evil spirits.
The onslaught was much heavier, and the group of Holy See Crusaders on guard with shields could not stop it at all. They were staggered by the onslaught of ballistae, and the crescent-shaped defensive formation on the opposite side was immediately thrown into chaos.
"You go first!" Verne shouted.
"Only you? You will die here?" Arthur.
"He won't." Xiaoxing, however, had no intention of leaving with Arthur and the others, and stood beside Verne. Xiaoxing's arm was still broken and he had not fully recovered, but he could use Dragon Breath
To prevent opponents from approaching, the melee combat capabilities of dragons are beyond the reach of mortals.
"Very good, then I'll leave this place to you." Arthur said, he really didn't want to waste time in a place like this. His primary purpose was to destroy the power furnace of this battleship. Only by doing so could the nearly invincible
Skid Plattney's Ark temporarily stopped functioning so that they could have a chance of winning this battle.
The opponent's arrow rain struck again, but the Winged Angel Golems stepped forward to deflect all the attacks with their wings. As soon as they got out of the way, another wave of Verne's heavy crossbow arrows flew past the golems.
, struck hard on the enemy's newly reorganized defensive formation, and knocked several shield-holding Crusaders away.
Arthur and others rushed forward and quickly broke through the siege. When he passed by the enemy, he fired two necromancy crystal guns in succession, intending to cause chaos to these enemies. Unfortunately, the Holy See Crusaders used large guns to
The shield blocked the crystallized gun. Although some people were injured, there were no dead people.
Arthur clicked his tongue and did not care about it anymore, but left the group of enemies and ran further and further away.
Perhaps they had known the true thoughts of the King of Knights a long time ago. Two of the Shadow Clan members also stayed behind to support Verne and Xiaoxing. Only four people followed. In addition, they were still following Arthur.
Bayoletta and Bedivere, their teams are getting smaller and smaller.
"Where are we going?" Bayoletta followed Arthur and asked curiously: "Do you know the location of Joan of Arc?"
"No, we are not looking for Joan of Arc. Our priority is to destroy the power furnace of this ark."
"What's the motivation?" The witch looked confused when she heard this.
Well, it's impossible for people of their time to know what a power furnace is. Ships in this era still rely on wind power to sail and don't even have steam engines. How can something as advanced as a power furnace come about.
"Well, the magic furnace." Arthur changed his words: "The magic supply device that makes this ark move. If it stops, it will sink, and the protective shield and magic light cannon will stop functioning."
"Oh." The witch nodded in confusion. But at least she knew the importance of destroying the power furnace first.
Arthur didn't know if Elaine was also on the ship. If Elaine really succeeded in breaking into the church and winning the trust of the church's senior officials, it would be normal for him to be arranged to take refuge in Skid Plattney's Ark. This
At that time, Elaine may even have been taking action, trying to find Joan of Arc who was imprisoned in a corner of the ship. So Joan of Arc just asked him to find it. Arthur should focus on making the ark incapacitated first.
Better. Although Elaine is stupid, Goff who follows Elaine is a shrewd man and has a lot of knowledge about the church. Even if Elaine didn't think of coming to meet Arthur near the power furnace, Goff should have thought of it.
This is the right thing to do. Destroy the power furnace to sink the ark, then make a big fuss near the power furnace, and wait until Elaine and his party come to join them.
At least that's the plan. If there are any changes during the execution of the plan, then we can just change the plan based on the actual situation.
"But do you know the location of the ship's magic furnace?" Bayoletta asked suddenly.
"Absolutely know." Arthur replied calmly. In order to show friendship in the past, Tutan, the leader of the Turkic Elephants, even took King Arthur to see the power room of Skid Plattney's Ark. The power furnace used in the Ark was a very powerful one.
The dangerous hadron fusion power reactor can level most of Europe when it explodes. When Arthur wants to deal with this power reactor, he naturally does not want to destroy it, but to stop it. And he also knows the corresponding procedures.
The church probably never dreamed that Arthur could be an ancient man who traveled through time nine hundred years ago, and that he even knew how to stop the church's ace battleship.
No, the rubes of this era don’t even know what a power furnace is and what it does. They started this battleship but did not have the authority to operate it. The battleship relied entirely on the automatic defense system. These rubes might
He didn't even know the importance of the power furnace, and he didn't expect that Arthur would go straight to the power furnace. The defense there should be relatively loose.
"Quiet. Quiet." When Arthur used the overriding attack of the lightsaber to penetrate the dividing wall of the corridor and enter the next section, Bedivere, the great white wolf who had been silent, suddenly spoke.
Everyone present knew Bedivere's identity or could not understand English at all. There was no need for Bedivere to continue pretending to be an animal.
"Quiet?"
"There was no sound of footsteps. The guards inside the ship did not rush over to intercept us because of our invasion. Either there were no enemies in front of us, or the enemies were ambushing us from the beginning," Bedivere replied.
Before he finished speaking, the group of people had already passed through the dividing wall and entered a hall inside. The hall instantly became brighter. There were dozens of magicians on the surrounding ladder-like platform, holding up their staffs and pointing them at everyone.
Bedivere is such a crow. Arthur cursed in his heart.
"Your friend?" Arthur asked Bayoletta curiously when he saw that the group of magicians were dressed so similar to real magicians and were incompatible with the clergy of the church.
"Not friends." Witch Bayuretta gritted her teeth: "This is the [Seventh Guard of Honor] who defected with [Secretary Master Yafanlin]."
"Hey, Bayoletta, the special envoy of the Ivory Tower." A middle-aged black-haired man in red walked out among the magicians: "Long time no see, my sister."
"So he is not your friend, but your brother." Arthur hummed. No wonder the witch made that expression just now.
"Don't call me sister, you traitor!" Bayoletta ignored Arthur and summoned [Legion - Black Witch]: "It's just in time. Let's make a decision here today."
"Oh? Just you and your [Black Witch]?" The other party also summoned a giant golem, a silver-white magician-like golem, which is somewhat similar in appearance to [Black Witch]:
"My [White Sage] has never lost a battle. The battle with [Black Witch] is ninety-nine battles and ninety-nine victories. Do you remember?"
"Hey, is there really no problem?" Arthur glanced at Bayoletta.
"It's okay, you go first." The witch raised her double crossbows to cover Arthur and others. The hair of the black witch behind her also spread out, and she made a preparation posture: "Go and destroy the ship's magic furnace."
A wave of fireballs came, but Arthur and Bedivere had already jumped on the back of Fenrir Golem and quickly rushed out of the battle area. The magicians were still planning to pursue, but Bayoletta fired continuously with exploding crossbows.
The magicians were forced to release protective shields to protect themselves. They could only watch helplessly as Arthur and others ran away.
"You really haven't made any progress at all, my sister." Cardinal Yafanlin said with a smile: "You and your Black Witch alone want to defeat the siege of a group of us? Or do you want to sacrifice yourself?
Buying time for your companions?"
"Hmph." Bayoletta chuckled. She remained unmoved and threw dozens of long axes from a hidden storage bag. The long and lethal weapon was instantly struck by [Black Witch]'s hair.
Wrap up and dance under the control of the golem.
"You know, *** Shi Yafan Lin." She said: "Since before, your pattern has been pathetically small. I just don't want to expose you."
