Chapter 12 The Game of Courage(1/2)
The released clockwork fairies set off a storm. They buzzed and twitched their thin wings, like a mechanical wave - precision, cold, and the edges reflected cold sunlight. Even outside the sky, people could feel the breath that was coming to their faces like a storm.
The people on the 'Horse Grim' saw those tiny black dots rising into the sky. Even when they merged into the vast sea of sky, they still made people feel frightened, just like the coldness rising along the spine.
Someone immediately tried to turn around and escape, but the officers grabbed the men and yelled at them:
"Go back to your post, otherwise no one will survive!"
But the sailors were not soldiers. Most of them were even forced to recruit from the port. They looked pale and stuttered: "Didn't you see that, the 'Tuna' and the 'Galapads' are finished...they... are coming."
Of course the officers saw it, "That... were just some clockwork goblins..."
They were just the garrisons of Brianos, from second-rate guards from all over the country, some of which were the entourages of the governor, private soldiers and locals, rather than loyalty and courage to maintain them, they were more in the interests.
Fortunately, the governor of Brianos finally made up his mind and mustered up the courage to knock on his cane-the walnut handle poked on the deck with a dull sound. The voice of the governor of the boss was old and empty: "Let's array and prepare to fight back."
The tone was not very certain, but no matter what, the officers had the backbone and quickly calmed the riots on each ship. The Oshus was a battle line, and the seven-wing sailboats and the "Horn Rooster" formed a double-long array - the small boat was in front and the big boat was behind.
A silver sail was scattered on the sea of the sky, shining, and majestic. A row of black muzzles were facing the lonely ship that was rushing into the sea of clouds. The Seven Seas Traveler seemed alone in the sea of clouds, and finally made people feel relieved.
Even if it's just a moment, false comfort.
Alisa was holding a note, turning it through pages, and mechanically chanting:
"There are old-fashioned mechanical calculators on the 'Horse' that can ensure a certain hit rate inside and outside the three airs. They will fire after we enter the effective range, and the other ships will be guided to fire."
"The small-caliber magic cannon on the winged sailboat is not worth worrying about, and it does not pose a threat inside and outside the air, but there are forty-two magic cannons on the 'Horse Grim'. When we break into the two airs, the probability of the Qihai Traveler being hit will rise sharply."
"Will the wind direction change in the afternoon?" Tianlan asked curiously as she listened to Alisa's concise analysis.
Silvede smiled slightly and shook his head.
Fang Yu looked at her, and the ship's officer's bright eyes were filled with the blue sky, clear and clear: "The wind in the Zhili Islands is affected by the high pressure zone on the sea, and there is no large area of land here. The alternation of sea and land winds is not obvious, and there is no day and night. They will maintain the same wind direction after autumn."
The female private pirate interrupted with some enthusiasm: "Northern wind, you can easily occupy the upper hand. You will cut into the formation of the Imperial Navy within about half an hour."
She was not like the nobles of the Empire, and she had to look forward to everything. She had this personality, otherwise she would not have joined the Kaolin Navy rebelliously - and returned to the ranks of pirates many years later. "Stay this speed for about half an hour and you will enter the formation of the Imperial Navy."
Catherine looked at the silver sail on the sea level with a green gaze, a little disdainful. After a moment, she turned back to Fang Zhu: "If it were my subordinates, there was nothing to say. The battle on the sea will inevitably be casualties, and the brave will win when they meet on a narrow road. But do you have the courage? Little guy, your ship may not be able to hold on to the imperial formation."
She still didn't believe it. Fang Yu dared to give it a try, and he must have some remaining trump cards.
"Ms. Catherine, what do you think of the Empire?" Fang Yu asked.
"Imperial?" Catherine was a little surprised. In the Kūkai, the Imperial was her old opponent. She had fought with the Oshu navy more than once. If anyone knew this opponent better, she would naturally be ranked.
The outside world usually thinks that the Oshu people are brave and fearless, warlike, and respectful of glory, but there is another voice that describes the pedantic, old and nobles greedy for life and death. Two completely different evaluations appear on the same object, which sounds confusing, but Catherine shook her head contemptuously: "The Empire people are nothing special, no different from the others I have seen. Some of them are brave and fearless, but some are greedy for life and death. The Oshu people like to claim to inherit the courage since the Silver Helmet era, but in fact, the most common people in the country are just ordinary people."
"I have also fought with their main fleet. The elite fleet of the Empire is indeed difficult to deal with, but in addition to the main fleet, the remaining scraps are nothing more than that. You have fought with them, what do you think?"
Fang Rong said seriously: "I agree, so I want to take a gamble. The Brianos don't have the courage to fight us."
The female private pirate was slightly stunned.
At this time, the Brianos fleet finally fired. Different fires flashed under the shadow of the sails in the distance, and the sound came first and then. It took a full seven seconds for the shells to fly through the four airs, and with a strange scream, it flew over from a place where it could not be seen.
The people on the ship didn't even move their expressions. After all, they were already commonplace. The hit rate of the magic cannon at this distance was less than one percent. If this could hit, they could only blame them for being "too lucky". Fang Yu did not even let Tata unfold the shield of the magic engine.
Only Ian and the other two seemed a little nervous. After all, they had not experienced much battles in the air and sea. They only had one day and one night to do so. Among the three, only the larks were slightly adapting, and they were repairing the damage on the ship.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! Fang Yu didn't say much about this.
In fact, if it was their first air battle over Orenze, everyone was equally nervous, but after experiencing too many battles, they had long been used to it. Luo Hao, the Paparals and the box were even a little excited.
The three of them gathered next to the only crossbow in the stern building and were aiming around, but in fact the crossbow could not hit that far, and it was a decoration. Fortunately, everyone has become accustomed to this decoration that has basically never been used.
"Miss Tata, put all the wing sails down," Fang Yu sent a voice to his heart, "retrieve the hatch door of the air combat deck and prepare to accelerate."
An unexpected sound penetrated.
"Brother Ed, why don't you let me try it?" Tianlan asked excitedly, "Has I upgraded recently? The poet can learn large suites after level 20. If you use the organ on the ship, you might be able to call the North Feng to accelerate the Qihai Traveler."
Fang Yu looked at her suspiciously, "North Wind Suite?"
The poet nodded like a garlic. The large organ on the Qihai Traveler account was actually used to do this, but she upgraded too slowly. Until the Qihai Traveler account was about to be updated, she used that cabin for the first time.
"Then..." Fang Yu thought for a moment, and there was indeed no reason to object. Although he had never watched Tianlan practice, he would not have any negative effects. So he nodded: "You go and try it."
Tianlan went there cheerfully. Although she was a little lazy, she still wanted to shine for everyone. She considered herself an indispensable member of the Qihai Traveler, otherwise she would not take the initiative to take on the logistics work.
This is not a very good department on the Qihai Traveler account. In fact, she often has to secretly post money to it. However, few people know about this matter except Silweid.
A sour noise suddenly came from the sound transmission tubes all over the ship, like a clumsy giant beast shaking its throat and making a whimper, scaring Alisa's hand trembled, and the notebook in her hand almost landed on the deck.
She grabbed her notepad with her hand, and shouted into the voice transmitter with some anger: "Tianlan, what are you doing!"
"Oh, I'm not very skilled," Tianlan's voice came from it. "The organ has a thick dust, but don't worry, Sister Alisa, I have a way."
She tried to play a note, as if she pulled out a wisp from the north wind, and the crisp, cold, ghost-like girl was walking, like she was flowing through a forest covered with cold, gathering into a group in the thousands of winds.
She whistled and rushed over.
Fang Zhu held down his flipping collar, and Baggins also pressed his hat. Catherine's long hair was flying, and red hair was streaked by strands of her neck. The golden earrings rustled, and Silver covered his flying skirt with one hand.
She looked up and looked at the agitation sail-
The Qihai Traveler's No. 1 suddenly accelerated, and a happy voice of sky blue flew in the voice transmitter: "Look, I'll just say it!"
When she was distracted, the noise caused the ship to shake and almost threw everyone on the ground.
Fang Zhu got up from the ground, shook his head and sighed:
"Tianlan, concentrate on doing your job well!"
The Brianos on the other side naturally noticed the sudden speed of the Qihai Traveler. The sound on the deck was getting low. The other party didn't seem to be afraid of them. The more than 40 magic cannons seemed to have lost their convincing power for a while.
"Start fire, fire quickly-"
The officer urged the fire to open again.
The sailors were a little silent, closed the cannon bolts and fired the magic array again. The whistling shells flew across the distance of Sankan. Finally, a shot aimed at the main mast of the Qihai Traveler, but the azure light lit up slightly, and the shells exploded on the shield, and the smoke immediately dissipated.
"The magic engine has 77% remaining shields," Miss Tata's voice was as calm as ever, like ice water, cold and calm. There was no exclusive marine shield on the Seven Seas Traveler, and it used the magic furnace's own power field shield. "We can withstand three such attacks at most, Mr. Knight."
"Reduce the scope of the shield," Fang Yu replied: "Only protect the most critical core parts."
"But then, the Qihai Traveler will have a greater risk of damage. Next, we may have to pass through the turbulence zone. Ed, have you really considered it?"
"I understand, Miss Tata." Fang Yu nodded.
"Okay." The fairy lady's voice seemed focused and gentle.
"Let me find a way," Catherine turned her head and looked at the disgrace on his face. She was also an old sailor. Naturally, she understood what the other party was worried about and said, "I can't stay here for nothing after all, but I'm only responsible for the shells on the bow of the ship, and give you other directions." She pointed at Xiesta. "The maid lady should be able to be responsible for the direction of the stern. I think she has good strength, and it should be enough for another lady."
Miss Catman nodded slightly.
"But the heavy naval gun on the 'Horse Grim' is not a joke, you should be careful," Catherine reminded solemnly, "After all, I can't guarantee that I can defend it all. If it really doesn't work... I'll ask the sea witch to take action. As long as it doesn't show it too obvious, there should be nothing wrong."
Everyone nodded.
When the Qihai Traveler broke into the dividing line between the two airspaces, the firepower accuracy of the "Kingling Rooster" suddenly increased a lot. The old-fashioned mechanical computer seemed to have begun to play a role, and the shells fell around the sailboat like scattered water.
Then the wing sailboats also began to fire, and the tiny projectiles drew lines, passed through the sea of clouds, and fell into the thick clouds, and some exploded, like New Year's fireworks, bursting out clouds of clouds, like water columns rising from the sea.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! The Qihai Traveler's name is sailing in a tortuous way between the water columns. Miss Dragon Soul's eyes were calmly examining all this, as if using her fair and small hands, she picked up the silver needle and threaded the blue cloth curtain. The tiny sand and gravel fell on one side of her hand.
From the time the cannon is out of the borehole to the target, it takes up to four seconds, and four seconds is enough for the fairy lady to use her calculating eyes to draw clear arcs, from them to falling.
It is enough to allow most shells to land, avoid the trajectory of the Qihai Traveler one by one.
A huge sail shadow of the 'San Jose' finally bypassed the island to the north and appeared in the vision behind the Seven Seas Traveler. The ship's officer was putting down the telescope in his hand and looking at the scene in amazement:
"There are either an experienced veteran or a talented captain on the ship, so that the Brianos fleet should not harm them. The empire needs such talents."
"I'm afraid the other party won't give in so easily." The sailor replied from the side.
The ship officer shook his head and said affirmatively: "Their ship was injured, with a 7° inclination. With the fire density of the 'Kinglings', they could not rush over. As long as the captain was not a fool, he would choose to surrender."
He put away the telescope, handed it to the sailor beside him, and nodded again: "But you are right, you must not give any chance. We should also maintain the highest respect for such opponents, raise the artillery, and force them to approach the Brianos fleet."
The gun door on the "San Jose" slowly opened, and then a bright fire flashed - a terrifying scream could be heard across the sky, which was a large magic cannon on the main warship, and the shells fell into the sea about the past.
Then a flash of light, a fireball rose from the clouds. The air waves generated by the explosion directly pushed the clouds into huge waves like tsunamis. A gust of hot wind could be felt across thousands of meters. Fang Zhu looked in that direction without moving.
Alisa could see the Imperial people's intentions at a glance: "They are forcing us to move closer to the Brianos."
"That's what they want."
Fang Zhu looked up, and the golden flame carved a silhouette on his face, "Miss Tata, don't go around anymore, drive straight over."
The fairy nodded slightly. Of course she understood the risks of doing so, but as long as one hit by the three super-large magic shells on the 'San Jose' were enough to turn the Seven Seas Traveler into ashes. This is not the time for them to hesitate.
Catherine was leaping high, her red hair was flying like a banner, and she turned the cage handle in her hand, and cut a cold light with the tip of her sword.
The long sword light formed a sharp edge in the space, twelve meters long, intersecting the shells in the air horizontally, and the metal shell and parts turned into raindrops, but it still triggered the inertial fuse, lit up a dazzling flash.
The shrapnel fell like rain, and the female pirate held the cloak and swept it hard, causing the metal fragments to fall on the deck. She took a breath and looked up.
The maid and Dalier were rarely embarrassed in the stern. Xie Shita was using her arm armor to support a green wind element shield. The maid's skirt and hair accessories were burning marks from east to west, and there were also colorful and blood marks on her face.
Miss Catman is slightly better.
But there was also a burnt piece on her tail, and the breastplate was like a mirror, sunken, and a shrapnel cut a hole and was still inserted there. She exhaled her sharp teeth and exhaled, her lungs were filled with a smell of rust.
The seventh round, the eighth round opened fire.
