Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 525:

Before going to sea, Su Lun learned that the two great pirate fleets of the West Sea and the South China Sea totaled two to three thousand warships of various sizes.

I lost 70% when crossing the Sea of ​​Eternal Night, but now I still have several hundred.

But these few hundred are mostly the top sailing warships in the world. C's "Sea King" battleships from the two big pirate groups are also among them, as well as dozens of good-class battleships.

The magicians in the plane of gods have these sailing ships, which are enough for sailing and adventure in this sea area. Su Lun didn't think that having many enemy warships would be a good thing for them.

The more flexible you are, the more uncontrollable the risks are.

He observed carefully for a moment and informed everyone in the Dawn Group of the detailed coordinates.

But the Evernight is still two to three hundred kilometers away from this sea area, and it will take some time to sail over. Su Lun and Kit hid on a desert island, looking at the island in the distance.

Kit is a little bored.

He knows that his current strength cannot be observed randomly, otherwise he will easily be targeted by top magicians. So I just meditated peacefully on the sidelines, recovering from the sequelae of the previous [paralysis] state caused by the monster attack.

Hearing what Su Lun was planning to do, he asked with slight surprise: "Are you planning to bombard? But those magicians seem to have strong early warning capabilities. If the ship gets too close, it is likely to be discovered. Too far away If so, I'm afraid the effect of the bombardment will not be very good."

When Su Lun heard this, he smiled meaningfully: "We now have a very special new member in the Dawn Regiment. A few dozen kilometers away is enough to launch accurate artillery strikes."

"???"

Kit sounded slightly suspicious, "New member?"

He is a traditional alchemist and does not have a deep understanding of Marfa's mechanical technology. But I also know some common sense about naval warfare.

The ship-borne artillery on the Yongye are all top-notch Marfa, with a range of thirty to fifty kilometers. The ultimate range of several super-large-caliber main guns even exceeds eighty kilometers.

But usually the ultimate range of artillery is useless in actual combat.

There is no satellite positioning in this world, and aiming at the target depends entirely on the naked eyes of the observer. If you want to hit accurately, you will generally not attack targets ten kilometers away.

What's more, there are a series of factors such as wind direction, waves, humidity, temperature, etc. that affect the accurate shooting of artillery shells. The farther the distance, the worse the shooting accuracy.

Any target that exceeds the limit of human vision is fired blindly, and hitting a target depends entirely on luck. No matter how good the gunner is, this is the case.

But if the distance is too close, you can see the enemy and the enemy can see you.

After taking precautions in advance, the effect of the artillery battle will be much worse. At least, Ji Chi felt that Su Lun's goal of destroying the opponent's ship was not easy to achieve.

Sea ships can move, not to mention that the number of enemy ships is hundreds of times our own. If it's a team, there's really nothing you can do about it.

However, the Liming Group is very special.

"We have a new partner named "Dora'", who is a top mechanic. Well, you will know after you get on the ship."

Su Lun did not explain to Kit.

After all, I knew Dora, and the process of joining Dawn with her was quite a coincidence. The point is that the two people's abilities are very compatible in naval battles.

Su Lun's spatial ability allows him to clearly perceive the distance and relative position between the Evernight and the [Rainbow Well], accurate to meters, without any error.

And Dora, the Marfa Colonel, is not only the top mechanic and artilleryman, she also fused with [Isaac the Blasphemer].

This equipment is a super biological computer, giving her enough computing power to accurately calculate the trajectory of every artillery piece instantly.

Very useful on the battlefield.

It can be said that as long as the data obtained by Dora is accurate enough, the artillery on the Evernight can be directed to hit where.

Kit couldn't understand and didn't ask any more questions. The two of them were waiting on this desert island.

A few hours later, Su Lun watched more than twenty ships quietly leave the harbor where they were moored. He muttered: "Hey, the Yongye has been discovered."

He observed the direction of the pirate ships and immediately concluded that they were heading towards the Evernight. When Kit heard that he had been discovered, he immediately became alert, "Were we exposed?"

Su Lun's face remained normal, he shook his head and said: "No. It should have been when the Evernight sailed over that it triggered the magic warning device reserved by those guys. These people went to intercept and kill it."

Kit originally thought that being discovered was a terrible thing, but looking at Su Lun's calm expression and recalling his previous experience, he asked: "What don't we do?"

"No need."

Su Lun shook his head and said indifferently: "The Yongye is about to enter the planned attack range. Even if they find out, it will be too late to rush over."

He has harvested so many magician souls, but he didn't know that the magician army also has a set of strict early warning and counterattack tactics.

It was expected that the Yongye was discovered.

Besides, if this wave of people goes to intercept and kill, the whole army is destined to be destroyed.

Kit's mouth tightened as he heard this. Ever since he saw Su Lun today, he found that he seemed to be a fake member. Now Dawn has changed so much that he feels a little strange.

However, these changes were the source of inexplicable excitement and expectation in his heart. .

At the same time, on board the Evernight.

All the members who got the news from Su Lun returned to fighting mode after a short rest. The gunners in the gun compartment were ready.

"Reload!"

"Special-grade alchemical magic-breaking bullets for the first-floor turret, Seagull IV armor-piercing bullets for the second-floor cabin," and "shock bombs for the third-floor refill!" ”

"The first round of projectiles was six, with a gap of three seconds and rapid fire!"

After Dora boarded the ship, she also brought Marfa's top ship-based artillery technology.

Laboratory technologies that do not even have the capacity to be mass-produced and put into military use are used on the Evernight. The unparalleled displacement of the Poseidon-class battleship is enough to support super-large-caliber artillery and giant turrets. Dora also modified the entire ammunition transport system.

Previous naval battles required manual loading of bombs one by one, which was very inefficient. Now you only need to pull a few valves, the steam boiler will provide power, and the ammunition will be transported from the safety cabin on the conveyor belt, and it will be loaded automatically like a bullet being loaded. The whole process greatly reduces the work of the filling hand and improves efficiency.

There is also a matching accurate mechanical aiming system and semi-automatic fool-proof operation, which also allows artillerymen with varying skills to hit the same Japanese target almost accurately.

Not long after, the ship had arrived at the planned shooting area.

In the control room on the deck, Dora was listening to the wind direction, temperature, and ocean current data reported by the observers at all times, and was always calculating the most accurate ballistics in her mind.

The moment she heard Su Lun's accurate distance feedback, saying that she could fire freely, Dora gave an order: "Target 21 kilometers and 700 meters northwest of the target, activate the T-level continuous fire automatic calibration system, the range is covered, and fire !" In an instant, the sound of artillery fire was deafening.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" "-"

Nearly three hundred artillery pieces on one side of the Evernight opened fire simultaneously, and several super-large-caliber main guns on the deck also spit out tongues of flame.

The sound of artillery fire was continuous and seemed to be fired at the same time.

The exaggerated sound waves made the sea surface ripple like rain, and some sea fish turned up their belly on the sea surface in a blink of an eye.

The muzzle flames come in different colors, and the shells used are also the most expensive alchemy shells. This is a good thing that Dora brought out from the military warehouse. The cost of a single piece ranges from tens to millions of liso. One round of ammunition is hundreds of millions.

But you can’t save money at this time.

At this moment, the sound waves of the previous round of artillery had not completely subsided. Just three seconds later, the second round of artillery fired again!

On the deck, everyone including Gan Tiao and Li Ming looked at the exaggerated firepower of the Yongye, and their faces were very excited.

The alchemical cannonballs fired at an extremely fast rate, but ten breaths later, Su Lun on the desert island saw the cannonballs coming from the sky.

He had excellent eyesight, his pupils shrank slightly, and he shouted softly: "Here we come!"

Kit just heard Suellen's firing order and kept staring at the sky.

Although he sincerely hoped that the Dawn Regiment's fire coverage could destroy the enemy's warships, he still felt rationally that it was unlikely to hit the target accurately at such a long distance.

However, the moment Su Lun opened his mouth to ask, hundreds of cannonballs fell from the sky at extremely fast speeds, hitting the island in the distance with lightning speed.

Su Lun's eyes narrowed slightly, but there was nothing unusual about them.

Beside him, the expression on Kit's face changed from uncertainty to dumbfounded in an instant. The eyes of both of them reflected brilliant fireballs at the same time.

Those hundreds of shells accurately hit the pirate ships parked densely in the harbor. "Boom!"

The violent shock wave spread like a tsunami, hitting a few seconds later than the fire in his eyes, and there was a huge "crash" movement.

The clothes of the two men were blown loudly.

Kit screamed strangely: "Damn it, I really hit the target!"

A wide range of firepower covered the area, and the vision was filled with flames in the distance. The cannonball accurately hit the location where hundreds of the pirate group's battleships were parked. Although the high-level magicians in the plane of gods reacted quickly, some magicians instantly put up magic shields to block the shells and prevent the ship from being destroyed.

However, the second round of shells came again and the third round came too!

Almost every few breaths, a round of shells falls.

Destroying magic, piercing armor, and detonating, a series of alchemy bombs fell, sawdust flew around, the mast was broken, and the entire sea was littered with broken wooden planks from sailing ships.

There were continuous explosions in his ears. Su Lun looked at the corner of his mouth with a smile and muttered: "These guys from the God Plane underestimate the Alchemy Plane."

The magic plane has some understanding of traditional alchemy, but it knows almost nothing about the field of mechanical alchemy. In their tactics, there is no combat response to this ultra-long-range artillery attack.

But even if you are prepared, you cannot be prepared.

No one could have imagined that someone would launch an ultra-long-range fire strike "out of sight."

However, there are many experts among the ten thousand people corporation on the island, and they also know the importance of sea ships. Even if they were forced to hold up the artillery, at the first moment, several pirate fleet captains and various seventh-level magicians formed a team to hold up magic shields to block the artillery shells, saving more than a hundred ships.

Then a mage cast a spell, and the waves and sea wind suddenly rose wildly, blowing away the moored ships. There is nothing wrong with this response. If you scatter the target, it will be difficult for the enemy to attack again.

Kit saw this, with a satisfied smile on his face: "Hahaha, that's awesome! Our Dawn Regiment's naval combat capabilities are so strong now!"

Seeing the firepower that destroyed most of the hundreds of pirate ships in the blink of an eye, he was extremely excited. Super long-range quasi-fire coverage?

This was the first time he knew that naval battles could still be fought like this! This is already an incredible result.

Su Lun looked into the distance with a hint of depth in his eyes.

Not satisfied with this, he also observed the position where the two Sea King-class battleships escaped, and said into the communicator again: "15.1° west by north, 215551 meters, course 33° east by south, speed 25 knots, Moving target...fire!"

Kit listened to him report the coordinates and tilted his head suddenly, his expression seemed to be able to speak: Is this okay?

A few seconds later, a super large alchemical cannonball fell with lightning. It accurately hit the Sea King-class battleship "Black Beauty" of the South China Sea Fleet that had just escaped from the harbor and wanted to avoid the firepower.

There was a loud "bang" sound.

This special alchemical cannonball landed on the magic shield and exploded with a terrifying air wave.

Although it did not penetrate the magic shield, it also shattered many wooden structures of the hull behind the shield. A dozen mages holding up the magic shield instantly vomited blood and died on the spot.

At the same time, dozens of cannonballs came one after another, and more than a dozen ships near the Black Beauty were also hit.

Those people also reacted very quickly. Although they were accurately locked for some reason, the wind direction suddenly changed and the entire ship immediately turned around.

As Su Lun watched, Ran Ci said through the transmitter: "16.5° west by north, 214881 meters, heading 25° east by south, continue launching!"

It is not easy to change the course of a sea-going ship, especially the larger the ship. After they changed course, it took some time for the shells to fly again. This operation,

Kit on the side was already stunned.

Fire coverage is just that. When will artillery's ultra-long-distance shooting be as accurate as a sniper rifle? There is no satellite positioning in this world, but Su Lun himself has this function.

Just when he reported the new coordinates, a heavy alchemy bomb struck again, hitting the Black Beauty again. Although they still failed to sink the sailboat this time, this time, dozens of magicians holding shields were killed on the spot. If you can weaken the enemy's combat power with artillery shells, it's definitely worth it.

The Evernight has sufficient reserves of artillery shells. Even if they are used up, they can be produced in time in Su Lun's small void world.

At most it's just a waste of money.

What you invest now will be recovered hundreds of times in the future as long as the plan is successful. A one-sided artillery battle continued like this and became more and more intense.

Tons of ammunition poured down from the sky, blowing up the pirate ships in the harbor and making them a mess. The rumble was deafening and spread to hundreds of kilometers.

With Su Lun, a human locator calibrating the target at all times, almost none of the pirate ships that gathered together were spared. Those magicians were completely trapped and could only defend passively.

I only saw artillery shells falling all over the sky, but I had no idea where the enemy was.

The only thing they can do is to determine the direction of the ballistic trajectory, find the Evernight, and fight face to face.

Although the pirates also fired back in that direction, no matter the range of the artillery was still accurate, they did not pose any threat to the Evernight, which was twenty kilometers away.

The artillery battle lasted for less than half an hour.

The dozens of surviving pirate ships are scattered and protected by a large number of magicians. It is impossible to sink them. Su Lun didn't want to fight, and called Kit beside him: "Let's go."

Kit was watching this special fireworks with great enthusiasm and suddenly wanted to leave. He asked: "Aren't you going to continue the bombardment?" Su Lun smiled bitterly and said: "Cannonballs also cost money, right? If we continue the bombardment, Not a good deal."

After a pause, he added: "Besides, those guys who left before should have almost found the Evernight, and we have to go back."

Kit: "Oh."

A moment later, two figures appeared on the deck of the Evernight.

The bombardment continues, but now there is no accurate coordinate feedback from Su Lun, so they can only bombard in a wide range. Seeing Chi Lun coming back, everyone on the deck gathered together.

"Mr. Sullen is back!"

"Oh, Mr. Kit was rescued safely too."

"Mr. Su Lun, how is the fighting over there? Did we hit it?" "-

Everyone was full of curiosity and asked all kinds of questions.

Although ultra-long-range artillery fire has been tested before, this is the first time it has been used in actual combat.

Although a large number of artillery shells had just been fired, there was no feedback on the battle situation, and everyone always felt that something was missing. Su Lun smiled and said: "Everyone did a good job. The shelling just now destroyed at least 600 warships!" "Oh! Six hundred ships?"

"Hahaha this is the most amazing naval battle I have ever experienced!"

"Oh, Miss Daila did a great job in modifying the artillery system." 20

As soon as he said this, the deck immediately burst into cheers.

As Su Lun spoke, he also raised his head and glanced at the girl pointing to the military room above, and smiled to signal. Dora nodded slightly in response.

At the same time, she also breathed a sigh of relief.

Although she felt that her calculations were correct, this was also her first time participating in the battle of the Dawn Regiment, and she hoped to give everyone a good answer.

This was a brilliant victory.

Except for consuming some ammunition, the Dawn Regiment did not suffer any personnel losses.

Su Lun said to the deck again: "Don't rest yet. Those guys from the Great God position are chasing us. There will be a battle later, so be careful."

When they heard this, instead of worrying, everyone burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, just now I thought shelling was not enough, but those guys still dare to come to my door and **** me!" "Yes, **** me!"

“-

Although everyone laughed, they were all ready.

Gantiao and the others had long received the notice from Su Lun that they were preparing to fight, and none of them relaxed. .

After Su Lun returned to the Evernight, they also stopped shelling and sailed aimlessly. They looked like they were trying to escape after the shelling, but in fact they were waiting for those people to chase them.

Sure enough, not long after waiting, the observer on the observation deck suddenly shouted: "Enemy attack!"

When everyone saw it, a few nautical miles away, more than 20 pirate ships suddenly circled out from behind an island and suddenly appeared in everyone's field of vision.

Obviously, those guys also used light magic to cover up the ship, otherwise they would not have been discovered so close. But it doesn’t matter.

Because they had predicted in advance that the enemy had discovered it, no one in the regiment was surprised.

[Rainbow Well] There seem to be a few eighth-level magicians on the island, but Su Lun has already observed it before. These more than 20 pirate ships set off before the bombardment, so most of them were pirates, | West Sea King Moloch Poppen was also on board, as were many magicians.

Suellen did not feel that Moloch Poppen was much of a threat.

The combat power of the Dawn Regiment is not weak. Even if it really reaches the eighth level, it is not without the strength to fight. So there was no rush for the Dawn Regiment to evacuate.

On the contrary, if you eat this wave of pirate ships, the enemy's warships will be greatly reduced.

Su Lun squinted at the battleship in the distance and reminded: "There should be masters from the Holy Army coming, everyone, please be careful"

He guessed that there should be people from the Crusaders following, but as long as it was not the eighth-level Crusaders, it wouldn't be a big problem. Everyone in Gantiao looked at him sharply and nodded silently.

This distance is the best distance for artillery fire. The Evernight is running and firing at the same time.

The more than twenty pirate ships are all brisk warships. With the blessing of the wind mage, their speed is not slow and they can't let go.

But their artillery is inferior (a lot.

Even with an absolute numerical advantage, the firepower of more than a dozen pirate ships is not as stressful as the Evernight. Moreover, the artillery sights are very poor during high-speed sailing, and the gunners' skills on the pirate ships are also very ordinary, and the hit rate is very low. On the other hand, the cannonballs on the Evernight are as accurate as sniper bombs.

After several rounds of bombardment, the two pursuing pirate ships were sunk. "Hahaha, that's it?"

"Hey, is this the level of the West Sea Fleet?" "--

On the deck, everyone in the Dawn Regiment looked at the burning enemy pirate ship and burst into laughter. The battle was much easier than expected.

The gap in the naval battle between the two sides is too great. If the battle continues like this, the more than 20 pirate ships will have no chance of winning. The other party obviously knew this too.

So, we can only count on hand-to-hand combat.

Unfortunately, there are highly skilled navigators like Tani. If the other party wants to catch up with them, it will take three days and three nights to achieve a near-event.

If we continue to press forward, the Dawn Regiment will be able to destroy the opponent in a mere artillery battle before they can press the ship's side. But no one was satisfied.

They all know that in this situation, master Liu Fang will appear!

As expected. This is it, an extraordinary situation!

Among the people on the opposite side, a burly figure suddenly jumped out of a boat, walked on the waves, and rushed over from the sea.

No one in Dawn recognized that this guy is the "King of the West Sea" Moloch Poppen!

Every time the infamous veteran pirate king took a step, the sea surface sank into a huge whirlpool with a diameter of more than ten meters. The running movement was like thousands of troops, with terrifying momentum.

Eighth-level professionals put a lot of pressure on people to die. The low-level crew members of the Dawn Regiment swallowed their saliva one by one.

Barrett stood ready, and "Blood Duke" Zes also transformed into a green-faced and fanged demon form.

Kit looked at these seventh-level professionals on the ship, his pupils shrank slightly, and he admired in his heart: Everyone is so strong. However, in an instant, he suddenly felt a sharp sword energy rushing in from around him.

Looking to the side, Senjou Gang put his hand on the hilt of his sword. Setsuna asked, his sharp edge showing.

Kit stood very close, feeling numb from the pressure of the seventh-level professional domain.

Even if Qian Jiao's murderous intention was not directed at him, he still seemed to be torn apart by the sharp sword energy and wanted to back away repeatedly. He was shocked and said in his heart: "Damn it. This guy Su Lun really didn't mean what he said. Wrong, Senjo seems to be extremely powerful!"

Looking again, Su Lun and No. 19 had normal expressions on their faces. Kit's expression was slightly strange.

However, just when everyone thought that Moloch, the "Work of the West Sea", would attack first, Muran asked, and a strange scene happened in front of everyone.

In the field of vision, the image of a person teleports across the void, leaving behind a series of afterimages.

Looking closely, it was a blond magician holding a staff, with an indifferent expression, and full of holy light.

Others may have sensed the power of the coming person, but several seventh-level people on the Yongye clearly sensed the fatal pressure.

Barrett frowned and whispered: "Spatial displacement? No, there is no spatial fluctuation. Everyone in the Dawn Group knows some spatial spells more or less, and their expressions changed when they saw it.

No. 19 said lightly: "This is the "Power of Time." That guy is from the Holy Army." Only she and Su Lun had seen this Yu Duan, so they recognized him at a glance.

And most of the Crusaders wear black and white robes like nuns' uniforms, making them easy to identify. After hearing the words of No. 19, everyone became alert.

Since Su Lun can tell people to be careful, it is definitely not easy.

And this "time displacement" is already a method that people can't understand. This is an enemy even more careful than the eighth-level Moloch.

However, no one noticed that Su Lun looked at the man with a slightly strange expression. ..··

A journey of several nautical miles can be reached in the blink of an eye.

The blonde magician in a black and white nun's uniform appeared on the deck of the Evernight since then. She looked at everyone with indifference and arrogance, as if she didn't take these people seriously at all. Arrogant, domineering, and arrogant...

The Crusaders only have eyes for gods. Mortals are like ants.

Que Wen has the ability to "go back in time" and no one here can kill her. However, that was when this woman had not had time to show off.

Su Lun suddenly teleported before her eyes.

Then he stretched out his iron pincer hand with lightning speed, pierced the magic shield condensed by the power of time, and pinched her neck.

This woman also reacted very quickly, and the wand in her hand flickered, as if she had used some magic.

Thousands of people on the side felt in a trance. Although they did not understand what happened, they also realized it

Magic is definitely not simple!

Everyone’s expression changed!

However, a bizarre scene happened.

Su Lun took action, and the enemy was the Crusaders. Everyone thought that no matter what, it would be a fierce battle. However,

A "click" sound of bone cracking resounded throughout the huge deck.

With everyone's completely confused eyes, Su Lun broke the Crusader's neck so easily? Looking again, the blond woman froze with an unbelievable expression, her head tilted, and she seemed to have lost her breath.

Dead? Really dead?

Everyone who was about to take action froze in their movements, their eyes full of disbelief. For a moment, the atmosphere became eerily quiet.

"Ga" "Ga"

The black crows on the mast exchanged a quacking sound, which brought everyone's thoughts back to reality. Su Lun hung the woman's body in his hand, swaying in the breeze.

I met him once before and was shocked.

Now that I see it, it seems like that’s it, right?

[Uroboros Time and Space Circle] The immune law level is not higher than the time and space spells of the artifact itself, which can defeat the person in front of you.

So, the "back in time" just now has no effect at all.

After being immune to the power of time, the blond woman's physical strength was too weak for Su Lun. Naturally, he strangled him to death.

No one spoke, it was quiet.

Finally, the tense-looking Lolota loosened the handle of the knife that was about to squeeze out water, and said weakly: "Teacher, didn't Mr. Su Lun say that the "Holy Army" seems to be very powerful? How come it doesn't seem to be the case? Awesome?"

Not just her, almost all professionals below level seven didn't understand what just happened. A guy who was clearly dressed as a Crusader came across the void in a very impressive manner.

Then you came and gave me a head?

No, no matter what, you shouldn't be treated like this. Everyone always feels that something is wrong.

Qian Tiao's sharp eyes flashed, and he saw something, and said meaningfully: "It's not that that guy is weak, but that Su Lun is stronger than her, and she is restrained. If Su Lun hadn't restricted that guy just now, In the realm of time released, you are all dead."

Everyone was surprised when they heard this: "Huh?"

They never thought that behind the dramatic scene just now, there was actually a fatal crisis hidden? I don't know how serious it is.

But when everyone in Liming heard this statement, they all blurted out "fuck" in their hearts. .

Not only everyone in Dawn was confused, but the group of pirates in the distance were also confused.

The "King of the Western Sea" Moloch, who was still running wildly in the sea, looked at the body held in Su Lun's hand and was even more stunned: Lord of the Crusaders, is he dead?
