Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 248: Surprise appearance of void breeding equipment

The fog on the sea gradually thickened, the bright moon was hidden in the dark clouds, and the visibility on the sea became increasingly low.

The midnight water was a bit cold. Su Lun soaked in the water and quietly moved towards the slave ship.

A night raid to liberate slaves suddenly turned into a fierce naval battle.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

""

The intense sound of shelling exploded loudly, shaking the eardrums.

The artillery of pirates is generally inferior to that of wealthy merchant ships, so naval battles do not take much advantage.

Those pirate ships that were in disrepair and lacked maintenance were not as durable as merchant ships. But it is not easy to sink each other.

When a wooden sailboat is hit, the shell will penetrate the enchanted hull and fall into the cabin, causing wood chips to fly. However, it is difficult to sink in a short time... Only if you are lucky can you break the mast or hit the ammunition compartment. The ships dealt a devastating blow.

So, if the two sides are of similar strength, the naval battle will often last for a long time, several hours, or even days.

Of course, there are also high-level alchemy bullets that can smash this kind of wooden ship into pieces with just one shot. But the cost of one such cannonball may be more expensive than that of a ship, and no one except the great nobles and the Imperial Navy can afford it. It may appear on the imperial battlefield, but most likely it will not appear in a naval battle of this level

The two sides continued to fight.

Pirate ships have a numerical advantage. There are about twenty ships in the fog.

But whether it is a chase with the navy or a robbery, the pirates will not fight for a long time.

They are better at boarding battles.

No, in this world with alchemy equipment, there is no need to even pick up the ship. Pirates use their colonial gear to fly directly from the sky and swim from the bottom of the sea.

Wing suits, scuba suits for underwater breathing, shark skin suits

This is the most popular practical equipment among pirates and has strong survivability at sea.

Flying in the sky is still easy to catch fire, but in the sea, it is much safer.

Su Lun advanced quietly in the sea, and saw countless pirates jumping off the pirate ship opposite. After those guys entered the water, they were like sharks swimming at extremely fast speeds.

A variety of strange-shaped fins, flippers, fish tails, and sneaking devices allowed the group of pirates to quickly approach the merchant ship.

The hand-to-hand combat also began after boarding the ship.

Most of the cannon fodder who disembarked for hand-to-hand combat were first- and second-level low-level pirates. Su Lun quietly killed the two guys who met him in the water.

At this distance, he finally saw clearly the configuration of the entire pirate group, and he breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, only one squad came."

Although those pirate ships carried the flag of the King of the North Sea, the secondary flag also showed their identity.

This is the fourth fleet under Oleg, the seventh fleet of "Greedy Wolf" Carol.

Su Lun has seen several of these ships before, when they were fighting against the tower in the harbor of the Black Barrier Reef.

Oleg is the proper overlord of the North Sea.

Their official captains are all at least level five professionals, and even their reserve captains are level four. Elsewhere, these are captain-level pirates.

Su Lun has been to the "Bounty Hunters Guild" before and learned a lot of detailed information about big pirates.

Among them is Carol.

This guy used to be the guard commander of a certain noble. He was found to have committed adultery with his wife, massacred the noble's family and was wanted by the empire. He had no choice but to defect and become a pirate. His talents, equipment, and skills are all excellent, and his strength is very strong.

Pirates are particularly particular about their cards.

You can see the difference between "squad captain", "deputy captain" and "squad captain" based on your position on the deck.

Even if they are watching a play, big shots will watch the play from the "C position" instead of hiding in the corner.

Su Lun looked at the bearded man wearing cold light mail armor from a distance and recognized Carol.

Beside this guy is a woman with goth makeup and black teeth who has half of her head shaved.

Su Lun also recognized him at a glance and said to himself: "The captain of the ninth division, "Instigator" Hedwig. One is a psychic who is good at control, one is a melee warrior, and two are level five. It seems that I am determined to kill Hozy this time."

However, these two guys are going for "Fist of Justice" Hozy and have nothing to do with him.

Seeing this, Su Lun's mind became more active.

There is only one division, which means that at least self-protection is not a big problem

The naval battle continues.

At this time, Hozy seemed to know that he was in great trouble today.

He didn't expect the caravan to bring him any help. He didn't want to stay and wait for the pirates to surround him. Instead, he and the people he brought took control of the stolen ship and broke out toward the west.

As soon as he escaped, the pirates immediately separated several ships and chased him. Naturally, the two fifth-level captains on the main ship also went.

Seeing this, Su Lun was delighted: "What a great opportunity!"

The other good news is that Juta and his slave ship did not receive much attention from the pirates.

This is a ship specially designed to transport goods and slaves. The pirates also know the goods well and know that they are all "valuable goods". If it was really going to sink, this robbery would be completely pointless.

As for the Chamber of Commerce, even if they knew that the slaves had captured the ship, they would not waste ammunition to sink their own ship in the face of more ferocious pirates.

In this way, the slave ship was safe from the gunfire.

When Su Lun saw this, he immediately said to the communicator: "Those people are coming for Hozy! Juta, throw the artillery and all the cargo into the sea, sail the ship first, and leave this sea area as soon as possible!"

A response came immediately from the communicator: "Okay!"

Not long after, I saw that the cannons and cargo on the ship were thrown into the sea.

As soon as these heavy items were thrown away, the draft of the slave ship was obviously much shallower, and the speed immediately increased.

Su Lun listened to the sound of a battle in the distance and thought that the two division captains and Hozy had taken action. He didn't hesitate and teleported several times before arriving under the boat.

Jumping onto the deck, Jutta was organizing the tribesmen to control the sails, dismantle any useless things on the ship and throw them into the sea.

The two nodded similarly.

"Thank you, Mr. Sullen."

Juta's crystal eyes were filled with gratitude.

As she spoke, she spoke another Daru language to the tribesmen.

After hearing this, the demihumans bowed respectfully to Su Lun with gratitude.

Su Lun felt that he should have understood two words, one was "warrior" and the other was "thank you".

He shook his head and motioned for everyone to continue. Now is not the time to relax.

The pirates behind will not just watch this "goods" worth hundreds of millions escape

Although "Fist of Justice" Hozy caused a big trouble, it also saved Su Lun and the others a lot of effort.

At least the keys to the explosive collar and the magic-forbidden chain were on board. After the Daru people escaped from trouble, they also recovered a certain amount of combat power.

Most of the humans in this world are alchemists and have no belief in gods.

But the Daru people do, and they believe in the "god of nature."

Their power source is also given by the gods.

They are natural warriors with the ability to transform into beasts and cast spells.

The small slave ship was packed with thousands of people. Now that they are out of trouble, there is no shortage of manpower.

Except for fresh water and food, everything that could be thrown on board was thrown into the sea.

Although their ranks are not high, hundreds of them use wind spells in turns, blowing the sails and sailing, and the sea ships fly very fast.

Therefore, it is almost impossible for the two pirate ships chasing behind to catch up with their speed.

This was the first time Su Lun saw "magic" in the true sense, and he felt a little bit magical.

The demi-humans prayed devoutly and chanted incantations, and then the spells were successfully condensed.

This is completely different from the spellcasting method he is familiar with.

Alchemists cast spells purely based on the "principle of equivalent exchange", using certain "formula"-like rules of spells summarized by their alchemist ancestors to condense elements of nature to form spells.

But the Daru people use spells to communicate with some kind of will in the dark, and cast it in a simpler way.

Su Lun didn’t understand it too well, but it seemed that they cast spells partly with their own power, and partly with the power given by the gods.

The essence of magic spells looks like an endorsement of faith

In other words, there are two ways to cast spells, one is "science" with good evidence, and the other is "metaphysics".

I didn’t think much about it, because at this time, the pirates on the pirate ship behind saw them trying to escape and chased them angrily.

Not a ship, but a group of guys who can move through the void?

"This winged flight equipment actually contains the laws of space?"

Su Lun's pupils shrank as he looked at the group of guys flying in undressed, looking like mantises, fleas, or aliens.

They were not simply flying physically, but they were flapping their wings, and with a flash of purple lines on their wings, they teleported forward dozens of meters.

Others may not be able to see anything, but for Su Lun, a professional who has awakened his spatial ability, the spatial fluctuations are too obvious!

After examining it, it turned out that the wings had a lot of history.

【Void Wings】

Detailed explanation: First-order black iron quality alchemical breeding equipment, wings produced by insects unique to the void plane, containing the ability to move in space; the containment value is rated C+ or above, and the probability of distortion does not exceed 20%; after fusion, the body's toughness and agility are small The amplitude is increased; after fusion, there is a probability of understanding some superficial space laws.

Because these pirates are low-level professionals, they only have one or two types of colonial clothing.

Originally, Su Lun looked down upon these minions at all, but when he saw their costumes, he was really surprised.

"Those guys, didn't they find a sealed passage in the 'Void Plane'?"

Su Lun looked at the information displayed by the appraisal and his expression was slightly different.

He knew that in addition to the "Abyss Plane Passage" under the ruins of Dawn City under Old Lingdun, this plane once had space passages connecting many other planes.

But among all the information collected by Su Lun, no one has ever seen this kind of "void colonization equipment".

This means that the pirates of the King of the North Sea have recently found a plane passage, or maybe they have penetrated the lair of a void monster?

Space ability is a very rare and very powerful ability in actual combat.

It’s still a flying breeding outfit!

This increase in combat power for professionals is definitely a qualitative improvement.

Judging from the current situation, the King of the North Sea may have a large number of subordinates with void colonization equipment.

This power cannot be underestimated.

“You really can’t underestimate these pirates”

Su Lun squinted at the pirates chasing after him and sighed in his heart.

Now it seems that this sea has endless opportunities, but he is not the only one who has good luck

Those pirates were tens of meters away in an instant, and they were catching up in the blink of an eye.

Everyone on the boat could even see the contemptuous smiles on their faces.

Jutta on the side was also shocked: "Oops! The leading pirate is a fourth-level professional!"

Of all the Daru people on the ship now, she is the only third-level one.

The Daru tribe has a large number of people, so it’s not like they don’t have the strength to fight. But if there is really a fierce battle, no one can stop the fourth-level professional, and there will definitely be heavy casualties.

Su Lun turned his eyes and fell into thinking.

One fourth-order, two third-order, and some first- and second-order. For him, the problem is not too big.

But in a real fight, that kind of spatial displacement ability is very tricky, and he can't guarantee that he can kill him immediately.

Moreover, killing these few is still a trivial matter, but there is a complete large pirate group behind them.

Twenty or thirty ships are waiting there. If there really is a big commotion here, there will definitely be experts coming to the rescue.

Among the captains in One Piece, there might be people with abilities other than intelligence.

For example, a curse warlock like "Crow" Gwenbu.

Faced with unknown means, we don’t know how we will be tricked when the time comes.

Thoughts flashed through Su Lun's mind, and soon, he came up with a solution.

Seeing that the pirates were about to board the ship, he hurriedly said to Juta beside him: "They will get on the ship in a while, don't resist, they probably won't kill people. I have a way to make them leave!"

Youta couldn't hide the worry in his eyes, "But"

Although she was not familiar with Su Lun, she could tell that he was a third-level professional.

The other party has levels four and five. Does he plan to go alone?

Too dangerous!

Youta looked decisive and said: "I'm with you!"

"No, you stay on the boat!"

Su Lun's tone left no room for rejection.

Without any time to explain, he added: "I and the others will definitely come to me in a while, so hurry up and leave. Don't worry about me, I will find a way to escape."

Juta looked at the man in front of him with a bold look and didn’t know what to say: “You”

That gaze seems to have an inexplicable ability to convince people.

He really can?

Without giving Jutta a chance to speak, Su Lun jumped off the boat

The dozen pirates who flew towards the slave ship also saw Su Lun jumping off the ship, but they didn't pay attention at all.

In their eyes, they are just cowards who escaped from the battlefield.

The leading fourth-level professional is Suleiman, nicknamed "The Blade of the Void".

Because he successfully integrated this fourth-level silver void colonization equipment, he became the reserve captain of the seventh team.

Although there is no bounty yet, it will be soon. If Hogg is killed this time, they will immediately become famous in Beihai. With this void ability, sooner or later he will become a famous pirate!

With his wingsuit behind him, Suleiman jumped onto the slave ship, glanced at the group of demi-humans with frosty faces, and laughed strangely: "Hey, the quality of this batch of goods is good. ”

The female demi-humans of the fox and wolf tribes are very beautiful. With this in mind, the more than ten pirates behind him also had lewd smiles on their faces.

Yota had already exposed her fangs and claws, and she was hesitant to take action.

If it were just her, even if she died in battle, she would never surrender.

But there is a group of tribesmen behind him.

Suleiman flashed the gleaming purple sword in his hand, and the unique coercion of a fourth-level professional swept the entire ship in an instant, and shouted: "I don't care whether you understand it or not. Now go to the bilge and wait." , don’t **** force me to kill someone!”

As he spoke, he pointed the sharp blade at the leader Yuta in a provocative manner

As long as this group of demi-humans makes the slightest move, a large number of heads will fall to the ground immediately.

Yuta showed no fear, and his blue eyes were filled with a sharp and ferocious light like a beast.

She thought of what Su Lun had just said, and her eyes couldn't help but look towards the sea in the distance.

At this moment, it happened that a giant whale came out of the water. With a "crash", a menacing steel giant suddenly appeared!

Jutta had never seen a combat mech before. Looking at the strange thing, he couldn't hide his shock: "Then is that Mr. Sullen?"

Several pirates also heard the noise, glanced over from the corner of their eyes, and immediately saw the mecha warrior who was slashing at their pirate ship with a ship-cutting knife. They were all shocked: "Military mechanical armor? From the Marfa Empire? People?"

Yes, this is the [Colonel-level ship-killing IX-shaped mechanical battle armor]!

Su Lun didn't dare to be careless, thinking that he could defeat a pirate group.

Besides, he can't guarantee that there will always be mysterious professionals among the pirates.

Wearing a mechanical armor is perfect.

This suit of armor is a sharp weapon that has been tested in the previous battles at Kadurante Port. The helmet has special anti-curse treatment.

It would be difficult for Yao, a fifth-level mystical warlock at least, to kill him while wearing a battle armor.

Not only must you attract attention, but you must also prevent the pirates from continuing to pursue you.

There is no more suitable method than mechanical armor.

To prevent pursuit, the ship cannot be kept intact.

The "Steam Ship-Severing Knife" equipped with the battle armor is simply a ship-breaking weapon!

Although the mechanical ship-cutting knife cannot launch any long-range attacks such as "sword energy", the vibrating blade can easily cut through wooden sailboats.

With this broad stroke, he cut a hole in the belly of a pirate ship. "Swipe" and two more cuts, the gap immediately turned into a big gap. The seawater poured in instantly, and the huge pirate ship was about to sink.

What is the biggest worry about mechanical warriors?

That means strong defense!

Su Lun controls the combat mecha as if the **** of war descends to earth.

The hail of bullets above his head crackled on the mecha, but it couldn't stop his actions at all. As soon as the steam boiler accumulated power, white air spurted out from under my feet, causing large ripples on the sea surface. The mecha jumped up and swerved towards another pursuing ship.

Su Lun jumped onto the deck and without hesitation slashed down with his knife, directly cutting off the hard main mast on the spot!

The mast collapsed and the men were scattered in all directions.

The masters on these two ships went to intercept and kill the slave ship, leaving a group of minions behind, like ants biting an elephant, unable to do anything for Su Lun.

None of them dared to resist, so they could only watch helplessly as he waved his ship-cutting knife like a big windmill, cutting off all the masts on the ship.

Seeing his two ships being filled with seawater and about to capsize, Suleiman, the "Blade of the Void" on the slave ship in the distance, shouted angrily: "Damn it!"

This is how he prepares himself to become the captain one day

Now he was chopped to pieces in the blink of an eye?

"I'll kill you!"

Suleiman was so angry that he ignored the slaves and flew back.

After all, in his eyes, a set of Marfa military armor is worth countless times more than a ship of slaves.

He stared at the mecha warrior, with a sneer in his eyes: "Huh! Mechanical warrior? Others may have no choice but to know that our void breeding equipment can restrain the mechanical warrior!"

Su Lun naturally saw the group of pirates flying back, and even clearly saw the contempt on the leader's face.

Not at all surprised.

We are surrounding Wei to rescue Zhao, and what we are waiting for is for them to fly back.

Su Lun did not retreat in a hurry, and identified the fourth-level reproductive equipment in the guy's hand. He murmured in his heart: "Tsk, tsk, this reproductive equipment is indeed very capable of restraining mechanical warriors. No wonder he is so confident."

【Scythe of the Void】

Detailed explanation: Level 4 silver quality alchemical plant equipment; the sickle of a unique creature in the void plane, which contains the ability of spatial displacement and can attack regardless of obstacles; the containment value is rated B+ or above, and the probability of distortion does not exceed 15%; after fusion, The body's toughness and agility are moderately improved, and there is a high probability of understanding the application of some space laws.

Seeing this, Su Lun also looked forward to it: "The 'space experience' delivered to your door"
