Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 357: [Major General Level Magic Blade X1 Type Mechanical Armor]
Early the next morning, Pier 2 of Golden City Walled City was bustling with people.
Originally, this was the location where several main battleships of Oleg's "First Fleet" were berthed, but in order for Marfa's "Frost Moon Princess" to marry, a private dock was vacated.
There is a "Sea King" class battleship moored at the pier, with a total hull length of nearly two hundred meters. A battleship of this displacement is already the ultimate in sailing ships.
Even in the entire North Sea, there were only three ships before.
This is the fourth ship.
The iron-clad battleships of the Marfa Empire are very powerful. If they come to this sea area, almost no pirate ship can compete with them. It's a pity that Lu Ying will never allow Mafa's surface ships to appear behind the empire's territory.
The royal family will not use other people's old things. In order to facilitate travel, Princess Skadi bought this warship that was still in the shipyard as a travel vehicle. It was also repainted and decorated very luxuriously, and was named "Princess Skadi".
Besides the main ship, there are eight frigates arranged neatly.
These ships have undergone some mechanical modifications, and the hulls have been equipped with alloy baffles and large-caliber heavy artillery, making them look majestic.
The royal princess traveled with great pomp, with a red carpet paving the way and a guard of honor stretching for a mile.
Not long after, after the salute was fired, "Frost Moon Princess" Skadi Harris, wearing a gorgeous dress, slowly walked out of the city surrounded by a group of royal guards
Outside the pier, the 19th Division of the Fourth Fleet, which had received the order, was waiting outside the port for a long time.
They are a fleet **** in name, but they are not qualified to approach the princess's ship.
On the deck, "Butcher" Banner and a group of confidants were watching from a distance.
"This Princess Marfa is really full of cards. It has only been a few days since she was assassinated last time, and she is still so high-profile. She is not afraid of being targeted by assassins again."
"Oh, why are you calling us a 'confidential mission'? These guys in the royal family really want to save face"
"You don't understand. For the royal family, face is much more important than life. But having said that, those ladies are so **** cool, and those peach-white ones make me dizzy. It's so cool. Wait, I really envy Captain Garr when I can’t eat.”
"Hey, I heard that this princess and our boss Gar are only a couple in name. After all, although Princess Skati is beautiful, in the eyes of the troll, she is probably no different from a monkey. ."
"Hahaha"
""
Complaints are complaints, the crew members are physically very honest. When Princess Skadi appeared, she climbed on the mast one by one, holding telescopes. Her eyes almost popped out when she looked at them, and she said some nasty words from time to time.
In the cabin, Su Lun and Dr. Banks also looked out through the breathable window, silently observing everything.
Dr. Banks's apparent identity is just an inconspicuous pharmacist on the ship. The ordinary crew members have no idea that he is the actual controller of the squadron.
"The "Frost Troll" Gar did not go to sea together, which is good news. ”
"The combat power of the Royal Marfa Mechanical Guard is extraordinary, and it is enough to compete with an integrated fleet, even without pirates. What's more, when they were assassinated last time, an assassin at the captain level took action. The Royal Mafa The Guards don't trust pirates."
"But having said that, their warships have all been mechanically modified and have a very deep draft. As long as we avoid the artillery range, we have a great chance of being able to distance ourselves. But I suspect there are submarines under the water. If there are It might be a little troublesome."
"Yeah. Let's take action based on the situation then."
""
Su Lun and Dr. Banks were discussing, and not long after, the princess's fleet also slowly left the port.
The pirate ship of Division 19 hung at the end of the fleet and also set sail.
Su Lun had a detailed chart drawn by Tani, which came in handy.
Marked along the way, there are also precise coordinates fed back to Qianjiao who has been waiting at sea
The weather today is very sunny and windy.
Not long after, the fleet used the chaotic wind and devil sea surrounding Hastelin and headed towards the four northern countries.
Su Lun held the rune black umbrella in his hand and paid close attention to the "Princess" not far away.
After sensing for so long, he finally determined something and said to Dr. Banks beside him: "There are indeed submarines underwater, and it seems there are more than one."
The tone was calm, because this situation was expected.
In a blink of an eye, he looked at the dark large-caliber artillery barrels again, with an expression that seemed to be a smile but not a smile. "We have now reached the uninhabited sea. If nothing else, the princess should send someone here."
"Yes."
Dr. Banks was thoughtful.
He looked at the position of the sun and said: "Little friend Su Lun really guessed it right. The fleet will sail towards the northwest of the Roman Kingdom. In this way, our plan can be implemented smoothly. Right. By the way, how did you guess it?"
Listening to the inquiry, Su Lun explained: "Marfa is a great empire. Since it married a princess to a pirate and brought so many mechanical equipment and technologies, in addition to wanting to give Lu Ying Creating trouble must be accompanied by an exchange of benefits."
After a pause for joy, he continued: "Oleg started as a pirate, and the only thing he could come up with equivalent trading capital was the 'Void Ruins'. That's why the 'Frost Moon Princess' got married this time. I was anxious to go to sea for a few days, and being assassinated was probably just an excuse. More importantly, I wanted to see the ruins. Looking at it now, I suspect that the ‘void ruins’ may be somewhere in the four countries of Hokkaido.”
Dr. Banks smiled when he heard this, "Little friend Su Lun is very thoughtful and very thoughtful."
""
Su Lun shrugged noncommittally after hearing the compliment.
Contacting the existing information, he felt that it was not difficult to deduce.
This is Lu Ying's rear area, and it is impossible for the fleet to go to Lu Ying's direction to die.
Going in the direction of Shanyin in the northeast, you will almost certainly pass through the Rockchaman Strait, where Marfa's submarine was intercepted before. Even if the news spread that it was a "mysterious disappearance", before it was clear, this "princess" "Fleet" will most likely not take risks.
Going to the west, there is an unknown desert sea again. The risk is high and it makes little sense.
So, we can only go northwest.
The view on the sea is unlimited and tracking is difficult, so you can only ambush.
Because they had predicted the opponent's rough heading in advance, they were able to arrive at the planned sea area and wait in advance.
Coincidentally, while the two were chatting, the ship's communicator suddenly heard the harsh sound of snowflakes.
"Zizi"
"Zizi"
Dr. Banks immediately realized something and said expressionlessly: "The communicator was interfered with by a special magnetic field. We are even sending out signals now. Those people should be coming."
"Yeah."
Su Lun also nodded.
After saying this, he asked through the communicator: "Sister Qianjo, are you in place? You can start."
As soon as these words came out, thousands of warlike responses came from the communicator: "We'll be there soon!"
The Mirror Organization's [Goblin Communicator] is easy to use. It communicates without distance restrictions and is not restricted by various weird magnetic fields.
After explaining, Su Lun looked into the distance and murmured: "I don't know if Tani's 'Halo of the Unlucky Man Cursed by the Sea' is any good or not."
Just after the communication was interrupted, on the "Princess" main ship ahead, a royal guard wearing a mechanical armor suddenly rose from the deck.
The jet power device gave the mechanical armor the ability to briefly jump into the air. From a distance of several hundred meters, the mechanical boiler on the back of the armor landed smoothly on the deck of the 19th Division after a few puffs of air.
This arrogant mechanical knight did not even look at the people on the deck, and announced in a deep voice: "Her Royal Highness the Princess has an order to ask Colonel Banner to go to the main fleet to discuss important matters!"
"Butcher" Banner could only respond: "Okay!"
In the captain's room, Su Lun watched all this through the window, and then looked at several frigates at the tail of the "Princess" in the distance.
Those cannons were said to be behind the Azimuth Fleet, but in fact they were also aimed at the ships of the 19th Division.
It’s not easy to escape within range.
Moreover, the submarine on the bottom of the sea is also nearby. Under normal circumstances, there is no possibility of escape.
Banner received the order from the princess and had no reason to refuse.
But he lingered and never got off the boat.
"Hurry! Her Royal Highness is still waiting."
The mechanical knight on the side is still urging.
This guy is not only here for summons, but also for supervision.
If you delay a little, you can find an excuse to fool him. As time passes, the look of suspicion on the messenger soldier's face becomes more and more intense, and the atmosphere on the ship gradually becomes a little weird.
In the captain's cabin, Su Lun and Dr. Banks remained silent. They were waiting for something silently.
At this moment,
Suddenly,
A sudden thunder sounded next to my ears!
"Click~"
There was light in front of my eyes for a moment.
Looking again, lightning flashed a few sea miles away, and the sky seemed to be infected with ink, condensing into a large storm cloud at an extremely fast speed.
The sea area affected by thunderclouds is getting wider and wider, and there is a trend of getting more and more severe.
But in an instant, the sky above the "Princess Fleet" also quickly darkened.
The wind howled outside the window, the waves grew larger and larger, and the entire hull swayed.
It looked like they were about to encounter a violent storm.
Not only was Su Lun not surprised when he saw this, but his eyes were filled with joy and he almost blurted out: "Here he comes!"
Encountering a storm at sea is normal.
But the storm in front of us was unusual.
Experienced navigators will use air pressure, temperature, and humidity to determine the direction and scope of the storm. But it definitely doesn't appear out of thin air like it does now.
Su Lun narrowed his eyes slightly while looking at the storm, and murmured: "Tani's talent is a bit special"
Because he temporarily solved the petrification problem of Tani's mother, Su Lun also gained Tani's absolute trust.
Tani told him a secret that only he knew, that is, it was a high probability event that he would definitely encounter a storm when he went to sea, not necessarily.
But if he is injured, then there is a 100% chance that a storm will occur immediately!
After hearing that he had this ability, Su Lun immediately thought of this battle plan.
If they escaped out of thin air, they would have no chance of escaping out of range.
Even if they jump into the sea, those royal guards will definitely catch up
So, they need an excuse to leave the fleet.
Storms and waves are the best cover!
As soon as the storm came, the ship's communicator suddenly returned to normal.
Obviously the priority is to deal with the storm, not to interrogate.
The commander of the main ship sent an order: "All ships, be careful, there are strange ships approaching in the storm! Fill up the artillery and prepare to sink!"
No one except Suellen and Dr. Banks knew about this plan.
Everyone on the deck didn't know what was going on and looked into the distance. Sure enough, they saw a pirate ship coming in the wind and waves under the cover of the storm.
No, not a ship!
But it was densely packed with dozens of ships.
Looking closely, the sails of the ship in the storm were in tatters, and there were holes everywhere on the hull. It looked extremely dilapidated. Under the flashing laser light, those broken ships were still covered with a strange light-colored halo, like ghost ships.
"Ghost Fleet!"
"Oh my God, we actually encountered a ghost fleet!"
"No, the ghost fleet is coming towards us, avoid it!"
""
Everyone on the deck changed their minds when they saw this scene.
There are countless legends of "ghost ships" circulating in this sea, but almost every version is an ominous omen.
But no one noticed that the monocle on Su Lun's left eye in the captain's cabin was shining brightly.
The cursed object [Robert's monocle] can create real illusions, and these ghost ships are naturally illusions.
Su Lun thought that since there was such a good storm environment, a ghost ship would be just in time.
It can also conceal the approaching movements of thousands of "Dawn Groups"
The waves on the sea surface have become bigger and bigger, and the waves of several meters are beating against the hull of the ship and shaking violently.
Now that we suddenly encountered a storm and a "ghost fleet", the communications officer naturally could not urge Banner to disembark.
In front of nature, human power seems so insignificant.
How can ships at sea be swayed by the waves, but can they travel in the original formation?
The ships of Division 19 were also swaying, quietly getting further and further away.
The ghost fleet was obviously heading for the "Princess Fleet", and the commander was extremely decisive. An order came from the communicator: "Fire!"
Boom!
Boom!
Boom
A hundred guns fired together, and the cannons on the ships in front spurted out tongues of flame. The sound of gunfire even covered up the thunder, deafening.
"Now!"
At this moment, Su Lun's pupils suddenly shrank, and he grasped the void with his fingers. The thread was suddenly pulled, and the countless [War Fog Bombs] that had been prepared to be on the ship were instantly detonated.
The artillery filling requires intervals, but the fog of war covers a large area in front of you in just a moment.
"Damn it, what are you doing? Do you want to rebel?"
The messenger's angry shouts came from the deck, but the voice suddenly stopped.
The next second Su Lun took action, he took the black sickle at hand and raised the knife, and a space crack cut off a human head.
Gu Steel
When Su Lun made a move, Banner on the deck also gave a decisive order, "Yang Fan, take the helm and rush out to the south! Everyone, project the fog of war!"
Although the crew did not understand what happened, they were almost all old men from the "Steam Party" and they had absolute trust in Banner. After hearing the order, everyone started busy in the mist.
On the sea, more and more [fog bombs] were projected, and the scope of the fog became larger and larger
"Team 19, what's going on over there!"
"Stop, or we'll fire!"
""
The commander's angry questioning voice came from the communicator.
Banner didn't respond, so they naturally guessed that they were going to escape.
Moreover, there is obviously something fishy about this escape. As long as Marfa's people are not stupid, they can immediately guess that they really have "neuro-mechanical technology" in their hands!
Since we know that we have the technology, we naturally won’t bomb them indiscriminately.
If a technician is killed, this top-secret technology that is nowhere to be found will really be missed.
The sound of the second round of artillery soon came to my ears. It was loud and the trajectory of the shells could be heard. Most of them were too high and shot towards distant rooms.
This is just a warning.
Seeing this, Su Lun also breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that the other party had not guessed and sent a round of artillery.
Since they did not dare to shell, they ignored it and sailed at full speed.
The mechanically modified warship's defense and output are far superior to those of the 19th Division's pirate ship by countless times, but the only difference is its speed. In addition, storms and waves disrupted the formation, which also made the distance between the two sides wider and wider.
The battle started, and Suellen and Dr. Banks also came to the deck. The two of them stared at the rough sea, as if they wanted to capture something.
Since the ship cannot catch up, then a submarine will definitely be sent.
The impact of storms on submarines in seawater is much smaller.
Banks said in a deep voice: "The mechanical submarine should appear soon."
Everything is going according to plan, but next, the most dangerous situation is coming.
"Yeah."
Su Lun nodded, coldly took out a few scrolls and threw them towards the water. With a clap of his hands, the Warlock Seal instantly condensed, purple space formations appeared, and six glass jars appeared out of thin air.
"Crack" the glass shattered, and several mechanical octopuses fell into the water with a crash.
In the sea water, Su Lun’s [Spiritual Tentacles] cannot be controlled from too far away, so he can only sit back and wait for the enemy to come
There was a strong wind on the sea. Su Lun held a black umbrella and wore a raincoat and stared at the sea indifferently in the heavy rain.
Dr. Banks on the side was also on full alert.
Although he doesn't like fighting, it doesn't mean he has no fighting ability. A mysterious force was isolated an inch away from his body, and even the rain could not touch his body.
"Coming!"
Su Lun's eyes narrowed.
Because at this time, dozens of human souls on the seabed entered the range of perception.
It seems that it is most likely not the "secret research base", but we need to capture it first!
Not long after, a submarine structure resembling a shark fin appeared on the sea surface, and another warning came from the communicator: "Team 19, I now order you to stop immediately, otherwise we will sink you immediately. ship!"
Hearing the warning, Su Lun and Dr. Banks ignored it at all and continued to flee crazily.
They are sure that the other side will not fire and sink it, so they are running as far as they can.
The greater the distance between you and the "Princess" behind you, the less dangerous you will be.
As they expected, despite warnings time and time again, the submarine never fired a torpedo and could only pursue them.
Su Lun was not sure whether the submarine chasing them had high-level combat power, so he never took action.
He wanted to drag Senjou until he was close enough.
However, Su Lun still underestimated Marfa's technology.
Those guys did not dare to launch torpedoes, but they launched something more exaggerated than torpedoes.
There was a "whoosh~" sound.
What looked like a torpedo jumped out of the water.
Su Lun saw the trajectory of the cannonball.
But he only thought it was a warning shot.
Because the trajectory of the torpedo was not aimed at their ship at all, and was off by tens of meters.
But in the next moment, the torpedo came out of the water, made a "boom", and suddenly exploded in the air.
There was a flash of fire, but there was no violent explosion, but there was a visible air wave centered on the explosion, and then expanded like lightning.
The shock wave swept across the entire sea instantly, and the ships of the Nineteenth Fleet were also affected, and all the bulletproof glass shattered into slag.
Su Lun judged the explosion in advance, and Rune King Kong was ready for defense. But when the shock wave came down, what surprised him was that the shock wave had no effect on the human body?
Only then did he realize that this was not an ordinary gunpowder bomb, but a "shock bomb"!
"This shell will destroy the ship directly"
Su Lun looked strange.
This was the first time he knew that Marfa had such artillery shells.
The ships of the Nineteenth Fleet are ordinary pirate ships, and their materials, enchantments, and coatings are very ordinary. Impacted by this "shock bomb", the hull of the ship swayed a few times in the waves, and the sound of "clicking, clicking" wood breaking could be heard from all over the ship.
"Boss, it's bad, the mast is broken!"
"Boss, there's water in the cabin too!"
"Oh, my God, our ship is falling apart. Let the lifeboats go!"
""
There was chaos on the boat.
In the communicator, bad news comes one after another.
No one needed to report it, Su Lun had already felt that the hull was capsizing, and it looked like it would soon sink into the sea.
He didn't panic at all, and jumped into the sea.
At this moment, they felt that the submarine was very close to them!
Su Lun controlled the eight-armed spider spear at the same time, and the six mechanical octopuses hidden in the sea instantly activated.
The octopus's tentacles can move tens of meters by contracting and expanding in the water. The six mechanical octopuses swam close to the submarine in an instant, and then clung to the hull with the help of the suction cups on their tentacles.
Then, the various tools on the tentacles began the work of cutting the hull
Sergeant Mafa on the submarine was just rejoicing that it had sunk with one shot, and when he was about to catch those people floating on the sea, he suddenly felt that there was a foreign object attached to the hull!
Just like Su Lun's last encounter in the Rockchaman Strait, the mechanical octopus has specially designed cutting tools. People on the submarine simply did not dare to fight in the water and surface quickly.
As soon as the ship surfaced, more than a dozen sergeants wearing mechanical armor came out of the submarine cabin, trying to get rid of the mechanical octopus attached to the ship.
But how could Su Lun make them happy?
He controlled six mechanical octopuses to wrap around six mechanical warriors in an instant.
The mechanical octopus is inherently resistant to mechanical armors. After being absorbed by the tentacles, low-level mechanical armors have almost no means to escape. In the end, it can only be slowly dismantled by the octopus and killed by the armor.
However, the other party is also a well-trained professional soldier.
The moment the six octopuses clung to the six mechas, the other people who were not hit by the attack took the ship-cutting knives, giant hammers, and saws in their hands and chopped them violently without any intention of using rat-proof weapons. past.
Look at that posture, even if you don't hesitate to kill your companions, you still have to get rid of these mechanical octopuses.
"So decisive!"
Su Lun sighed inwardly.
I also guessed that these guys may know the existence of the "Mechanical Octopus" and have corresponding tactics.
Otherwise, I would never be so decisive.
But Su Lun only had six finished octopuses in his hands, so naturally he would not just watch the mechanical octopus he finally made be killed.
Moreover, since he chose to take action, he already had his own set of tactics.
He also has a cursed object in his hand that is very compatible with mechanical delirium, and that is [Hypnos' Black Scythe of Night]!
The octopus has many tentacles, and its most important combat power is "control". With a few tentacles controlling the target and a few attached to the hull, the mechanical warrior was almost unable to move.
What Black Scythe likes to kill most is fixed targets!
Su Lun hid behind the wreckage of the ship in the distance. Watching the octopus control the target, he decisively raised the black scythe and "swiped, swiped, swiped" six times a second.
If it were controlled by a living corpse before, the best living corpse could barely make three or five cuts before it collapsed.
But now that his understanding of the Law of Death has reached the conditions for use, he can strike at this level without worrying about any curse backlash, just raise his hand.
With these six sharp cuts, six space cracks appeared not far away.
The [lieutenant colonel level] and [colonel level] mechanical armor, which even fifth- and sixth-level professionals could not break open easily, was instantly disconnected from the neck.
Then four of them triggered the self-destruction device and exploded into a sheet of fire.
Seeing a burst of physical pain, Su Lun thought to himself: "It would be a pity to self-destruct"
Each Marfa officer-level armor has a unique self-destruct device. It will not be in the same position and will be destroyed by external forces. It will self-destruct immediately once triggered.
The remaining two did not explode, probably because the trigger device was not on the neck.
Su Lun watched his "trophies" being destroyed. Although his body ached, his hands were not idle.
Because he alone controls the mechanical octopus, there is no coordination problem at all.
After he killed six Marfa warriors, without any gap, the mechanical octopus escaped and attached to the other six again.
Then it’s the same tactics, adsorption, control, black sickle and a few swipes.
Using this method, Su Lun killed more than a dozen mecha warriors who came out of the warehouse in a very short period of time.
The rhythm of this battle is almost exactly the same as what he had deduced before.
But Su Lun did not underestimate the enemy at all. He looked at the mechanical submarine that was about to be cut open with solemn eyes.
Because he knows that the toughest opponent is about to come out!
Su Lun has also obtained some information in the past few days. The highest commander on the Marfa Empire's conventional submarines is usually with the rank of "Commodore".
This means that it is equipped with a [Brigadier-level] mechanical armor, which is about the combat power of a fifth-level professional.
The [Brigadier Level] is the watershed in the Marfa military mechanical armor.
Under these specifications, almost all are "physical attacks", and Su Lun's method can almost easily kill them;
The above armors all have some very magical abilities. Armor like [Major General level] has a very strong performance even in the battles of top professions.
This "Frost Moon Princess" has a special identity. Su Lun is not sure what the military rank of the submarine captain in her **** is, but she also guesses that it is very likely that he is a "highly qualified" one.
As expected.
After Su Lun killed more than ten people who came out of the warehouse in two or three encounters, the people in the cabin also responded and returned, and immediately more than ten mecha warriors rushed out.
This time, a powerful enemy is coming!
The first guy was wearing a fiery red mechanical armor. Su Lun saw his military rank at a glance, as well as the model marked on the armor [Major General Level Magic Blade X1 Type Mechanical Armor]!
"It is indeed a 'major general level'!"
Su Lun’s eyes were sharp.
In other words, this guy has at least the combat power of a regular sixth-level professional!
As soon as this guy showed up, he pulled out a long mechanical knife flowing with magma.
The name shown in the appraisal is [Magic Hot Molten Magma Python Knife]!
Before Su Lun had time to think about it, he watched this guy raise his hand and cut him off with a single blow.
What a magical scene. The scarlet long knife was not for cutting, but softened like a whip, and "swiped" towards a mechanical octopus not far away!
"Whip?"
Su Lun's expression suddenly changed as he watched.
A "swish" sound broke through the air, and before he could let the mechanical octopus make a dodge action, the red whip struck the octopus.
Like metal meeting strong acid, Su Lun watched helplessly as the whip quickly corroded the enchanted coating on the octopus's mechanical tentacles, and then quickly corroded the runes.
After struggling for a moment, Su Lun could no longer sense the nerve signals fed back by the octopus's limbs.
With this draw, a mechanical octopus was "disabled".
"So strong."
Su Lun's eyelids jumped sharply.
He only has six octopuses, how can he afford such a torment?
Just after this meeting, he controlled the other five octopuses and did not dare to fight anymore, and jumped into the water.
Almost at the same time, Su Lun glanced at the "Major General".
Obviously, this guy just saw Su Lun killing his men with a black scythe in the ship!
Su Lun’s scalp felt numb from being stared at.
But it’s not easy for this guy to kill him.
Su Lun wanted to find a chance to avoid it first.
But at this moment, on the sea in the distance, there was an air burst of "pop", "pop", "pop".
Looking sideways, I saw a swordsman with wind and thunder running from the sea.
Behind her, the thunder sea surged wildly, and the three thunder drums on the six-armed Rakshasa phantom caused thunder in the sky, which was exaggerated to the extreme in the prosperous era.
Who is he if he is not Senjo?
