Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 364: Naval battle
The three men of Su Lun took an assault boat and rushed straight through the waves. Naturally, everyone on the three pirate ships of the North Sea Fleet saw it.
The pirates crowded on the deck, ready to watch the joke.
"Yo, that guy Barrett finally doesn't want to hold on, is he surrendering?"
"I only brought two people, they should be here for negotiation."
"No, what do you mean by their warships and the three-masted sailboat without a flag at nine o'clock? Why do you feel like they are approaching us?"
"Sink it if you dare to enter the shooting range. Humph, anything without dog eyes deserves to die. The large-caliber artillery of the Marfa Empire supports us, and it comes in handy"
"Have you sensed other stealth units?"
"Boss, no. The sensory feedback has also confirmed that, except for Barrett, the other swordsman is level five, and the guy behind the boat is only level four."
""
On the deck of a pirate ship.
The pirates stood there in groups, laughing and joking.
The sixth-level deputy captain "Ghost Hand" Doroselle, as well as several fifth-level captains, and fourth-level squad captains all looked at the assault boat speeding in the distance with relaxed expressions. No one took it seriously.
No matter how you look at it, the other party should be here to negotiate.
After all, there are only three of them. If there are no seventh-level professionals, their lives will be in vain if they have any evil intentions...
But as the assault boat approached, for some reason, Doroselle gradually felt an ominous premonition in his heart.
Can advance to the sixth level, and has extraordinary crisis sensing ability.
He picked up the telescope in his hand again and squinted at the assault boat he had spotted, his eyes becoming more and more solemn.
But he didn’t know where the uneasiness in his heart came from
On the assault boat, even the battle-hardened Barrett was breathing slightly heavier.
The three pirate ships in front of him put a lot of pressure on him to die. The closer he got, the dense hostility on the ship was like a mountain weighing on his head, making his scalp numb.
After so many years in the army, he has never tried such a crazy "tactic".
The supreme commander penetrates directly into the enemy's base camp, but the army is behind?
However, he didn't ask any more questions.
When he agreed to this tactic, he had already put life and death aside.
Su Lun did not dare to be careless. After all, the North Sea Fleet was the ceiling of combat power in the pirate world. There are many fourth- and fifth-level masters on the three ships. These more than a thousand enemies cannot be underestimated in the slightest. The battle situation was changing rapidly, and his mind was still analyzing every possibility based on the current situation.
Qianjou didn't speak the whole time. She put her hand on the scabbard and kept accumulating sword energy.
At this time, Su Lun also noticed that the pirates on the opposite side seemed a little alert, and said: "Get closer, the best is within a hundred meters."
Barrett listened and frowned: "Perhaps Doroselle won't let us get so close. That guy is a sixth-level professional after all, so he should have noticed something."
"Then let's raise the flag and negotiate."
Su Lun looked prepared.
As he spoke, he took out two small flags and played the semaphore.
There is a common set of semaphores for sailing on the sea, which are used for long-distance communication between ships.
Almost every ship is equipped with a "semaphore officer".
Su Lun had stripped off this skill before, waving a small flag extremely skillfully and sending out a signal: We want to negotiate.
This move can also make the pirates on the opposite side think that he is just a "little player".
Su Lun doesn’t have the baggage of being an idol. It doesn’t matter whether he plays a small role or a big shot.
The war is coming, the lower he is, the safer he will be.
Barrett looked at his move, the strange color on his face disappeared, and thought: He is really well prepared
As expected.
Because of Su Lun's negotiation semaphore, the cannons aimed at them did not fire, and they successfully approached the group of pirates.
Three pirate ships formed a "pin" shape and surrounded the assault boat group.
The pirates didn't realize the danger was coming, and gathered around the side of the ship to watch the excitement.
Although "Ghost Hand" Doroselle felt uneasy, he did not think that the three people in front of him would have any chance of winning.
Where does the sense of crisis come from?
Out of caution, he did not let Barrett board the ship directly, but asked condescendingly: "Captain Barrett, what, you have figured it out and want to talk about it?"
""
Barrett looked at the pirates with sarcastic expressions, his heart full of disdain.
If he were to surrender to these pirates, he would rather die.
However, Barrett also knew that he now needed to buy some time for Su Lun behind him.
So I was not in a hurry to express my position.
Su Lun was at the stern of the boat, looking like he was controlling the engine, quietly acting as his "little transparent". The invisible thread in his hand fell into the sea.
Doroselle was not stupid either. He looked at Barrett's micro-expression, his eyes becoming more and more suspicious.
When a squad leader on the side saw this, he immediately understood. He threw out a pair of handcuffs and said: "Barrett, since you want to negotiate, put on the 'Forbidden Handcuffs' and get on the boat to talk."
Barrett did not look at the handcuffs. He looked humiliated and angry, and said, "Is this how your North Sea Fleet treats guests? Haha, I, Barrett, are here to negotiate, not a prisoner!"
What we are doing now is stalling for time, since we are going to fight anyway.
As he spoke, he did not forget to mock: "Doroselle, you are a great captain of the fleet, but you have so much courage? Haha"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere instantly became awkward.
Doroselle frowned as she listened. It was not that she felt unhappy at being ridiculed, but that the uneasiness in her heart was getting stronger and stronger.
But he didn't know where the uneasiness lay.
Barrett, a "beast" with a broken arm, is not worthy of such treatment.
But after all, he has three divisions and more than a thousand subordinates watching, and it is impossible for Doroselle to give in.
People say they have negotiated, but they, the mighty North Sea Fleet, don’t even have the courage to negotiate, right?
Just when he was about to ask Barrett to get on the boat
Suddenly,
A strange situation occurred suddenly!
This group of pirates are not all fools. There are also various capable people on the ship. Those perception professionals are also keenly aware of the situation in the sea.
At this moment, someone shouted loudly.
"Captain, no! There is something in the sea!"
"It seems like a lot of big octopuses, they are coming towards us!"
"Damn, we've been tricked! Fire and kill them!"
""
The pirates on the three pirate ships reacted immediately.
In this situation, they are really stupid if they don’t understand what is happening.
After hearing the news, "Ghost Hand" Doroselle's face changed suddenly. He saw a group of transparent shadows in the sea approaching the ship quickly, and finally understood where the uneasiness in his heart came from!
Barrett is pretending to be negotiating, but he is actually going to fight to the death!
But until this moment, he still couldn't figure it out. I have more than a thousand brothers. Why would the other party have the confidence to take action?
The surface of the mechanical octopus has a special light-absorbing coating. Especially in seawater, when light is absorbed, it looks like transparent jelly, making it difficult to detect with the naked eye.
Even a new species like the "transparent octopus" is not surprising in this endless sea of abundant products.
Even if it is discovered, it will probably be regarded as a new species and will not be used as an attack method immediately.
But after all, the behavior of the cluster approaching the ship was too obvious, and it was still discovered.
Su Lun's eyes suddenly froze when he heard that the pirates discovered the mechanical octopus approaching in the water.
Not surprised at all.
It’s perfect that it took so long.
Now that I have been discovered, there is no need to hide anymore...
The corner of Su Lun's mouth raised a sinister smile, and he grabbed the void with his fingers, suddenly pulling out dozens of threads. As soon as the kinetic energy system was activated, the mechanical tentacles of the octopuses suddenly contracted and pushed forward, like springs compressing and shooting out, and their speed increased several times.
Within a few breaths, dozens of octopuses approached the bottom of the three boats!
As long as one tentacle of the mechanical octopus is attached to the bottom of the boat, all the other tentacles can wrap around it.
In just an instant, all fifty mechanical octopuses climbed onto the three pirate ships and began to destroy the ships.
"Boss, something doesn't seem right!"
"Damn it, those octopuses are actually made of steel. They can't be hit with muskets! The harpoons are useless too!"
"No, those monsters are destroying our warship!"
""
Soon, the pirates discovered a horrifying fact.
They thought it was a sea monster attack, but unexpectedly, it was a "mechanical creature" they had never heard of.
This simply subverted their cognition.
Although they are fast enough from discovery to response, most of the functions of the mechanical octopus are "shipbreaking weapons" designed to break ships. Once activated, there is no chance for anyone to react.
More than a dozen octopuses were attached to each ship, and in an instant, the sound of cracking wood could be heard.
The exaggerated killing power of the mechanical tentacles and the ship-breaking equipment instantly smashed the entangled hull into pieces.
A large amount of seawater poured into the cabin, and the three ships sank rapidly almost simultaneously.
Even though several fifth-level pirate captains reacted quickly enough and used their space abilities to cut off a few tentacles, they still could not prevent the three ships from being damaged and sinking into the sea.
The pirates screamed strangely and fell into the water, all in a miserable state.
"How could this happen?"
"Ghost Hand" Doroselle had an incredible light in his eyes.
He never expected that three of his warships would be sunk right in front of him in just one encounter!
At the same time, dozens of speedboats disembarked from the warship and the three-masted sailing ship in the distance, and hundreds of people rushed towards them.
"Damn it!"
The captain's face darkened, he kicked the ground hard, rushed towards the assault boat, and shouted: "Kill them first!"
Instinct told Doroselle that he must kill the three people in front of him first, otherwise there would be big problems.
Moreover, he discovered that the "Semaphore Officer" who he thought was a minion before seemed to be the culprit controlling these mechanical octopuses!
The pirates were caught off guard and were all horrified.
But similarly, when Barrett saw the scene in front of him, he was no less shocked than those pirates!
"Mechanical Octopus?!"
Although he had expected that Su Lun would solve the problem in some way that surprised him, he did not expect that it would be this way.
But looking at the rolling mechanical tentacles on the sea that seemed to be boiling, he still couldn't believe that he actually saw a "mechanical creature"!
He was once Lu Ying's senior general, so he naturally knew the inside story of some cutting-edge technologies.
Looking at these mechanical octopuses, he immediately guessed something.
"It turns out that he has mastered neuromechanical technology"
Barrett's heart was filled with turmoil.
He really did it. He sank three main battleships of the North Sea Fleet in one encounter.
What’s more, what shocked him even more was what came next!
"Ghost Hand" Doroselle is a sixth-level professional after all. As soon as he discovered something was wrong, he rushed towards the assault boat on which Su Lun and the others were riding.
Barrett kept staring at this guy, looking at the disappearing figure. He stopped being shocked and shouted in his heart: "Here he comes!"
He had already learned how powerful this guy was in previous battles. His spatial teleportation and "real injury ghost hand" were definitely a nightmare for any professional of the same level.
There was no fear on Barrett's face. He was determined that even if he risked his life, he would never let this guy hurt Su Lun!
But before he had time to move, he suddenly felt an overbearing sword intent rising from his side.
Suddenly, there was a sharp "clang" sound as a sword was unsheathed.
At that moment, thunderclouds suddenly rolled in the sky, and the sky darkened instantly. Suddenly, a purple-red lightning flashed from the dark clouds and landed on the sea with a "crack" sound, reflecting the strange ruddy color on the faces of these thousands of people.
"Thundering Hell!"
Qian Tiao's face was full of fierce fighting spirit, and the robes on his body made a sound because of his domineering attitude.
The sword energy that had been accumulated for so long, the "Demon Sword Zongzheng" was unsheathed and poured out like a bank.
After she drew the knife, the six-armed Rakshasa shadow behind her instantly solidified.
Looking again, the three-cylinder thunder drum attracted countless thunder snakes in the sky, gathered at the point pointed by the blade, and slashed down sharply: "One Blade Style·Flowing Wind Battleship!"
"Swish" sword energy burst out of the air.
At such a close distance, Barrett felt the deepest feeling, and instantly felt a sense of death crisis that stood on end.
Even if the sword energy was not directed at him, he seemed to feel countless sharp blades passing over his body, giving him a stinging sensation like a steel knife scraping his bones.
"This is her swordsmanship, her domineering thunderous sword intent."
Barrett could no longer describe the shock in his heart.
The sword intent that Qian Jiao released outside the ship before was less than one thousandth of what it was now!
He has never seen a fifth-level sword master who has condensed such a domineering and terrifying sword intent.
Moreover, it wasn't just this exaggerated swordsmanship realm. Barrett looked at the phantom of the second-level Rakshasa woman behind Senjou. That was the most rare thing.
"Second interpretation [Rakshasa Girl], a monster-level talent"
Thousands of thoughts flashed through Barrett's mind.
He has seen too many talented and evil people in Lu Ying in his life, and he himself grew up with the aura of "genius" on his back. But when he looked at Qian Jiao in front of him, he felt that he had seen a "monster" that truly amazed him.
The demonic sword is also absolutely extraordinary.
Everything, everything
Both far exceeded Barrett’s previous expectations.
He had already highly underestimated the strength of the "Chief of the Thousand Tiao Regiment" and the "Dawn Regiment" before, but looking at it now, he still underestimated it too much.
No wonder they knew that this was a deputy captain of the North Sea Fleet, yet they dared to confront him head-on.
It turns out that he really has the strength to fight head-on!
Thousands of swords were slashed out with thunderous sword energy. Tens of meters away, a figure hiding in the void was suddenly forced out in embarrassment.
"Ghost Hand" Doroselle avoided this fatal sword energy, but no one dared to block that sword energy. In the blink of an eye, it broke through the air for hundreds of meters, and all of a sudden the captains of the divisions were still trying their best to think. Half of the battleships that were saved were chopped to pieces.
It's better now, everyone is soaked in the sea water.
Not everyone can "step on the air", everyone has a colonial suit that moves in the sea
The battleship was destroyed, and the combat power of more than a thousand people was instantly reduced by 80%.
"Ghost Hand" Doroselle looked so gloomy that he could drop water. Only then did he realize that the "fifth level" he had not looked down upon just now turned out to be such a domineering "sword" in the sword realm. Holy”. But the matter was over, and there was no room for regret, so he rushed over again.
Qianjou didn’t show any signs of weakness and jumped up from the assault boat.
After a series of "pop", "pop", and "pop", she faced the pirate leader who was a big step above her without showing any signs of weakness.
Because he knew this guy's ability in advance, Qianjou didn't dare to confront him head-on. He was struck with sword energy from a long distance away. Although sixth-level professionals are strong, they have not consolidated their own domain after all, and they are also very afraid of this sword energy.
But after all, Nado Roselle has mastered the ability of space and can move flexibly. This kind of sword energy in the air cannot be used for a while.
Seeing Barrett on the side, how could he watch the show on the side?
He and Su Lun looked at each other, intending to ask: Do you want help?
Su Lun shook his head.
Barrett showed no scruples and rushed away without showing any signs of weakness.
Although he admitted that the dozens of mechanical octopuses amazed him. But he didn't think that Su Lun could fight against those more than a thousand pirates on his own. After all, there are many fourth- and fifth-level professionals among those pirates, and more importantly, almost everyone in the entire fleet has space abilities. Mechanical products can be violent for a while, but it is absolutely impossible to completely suppress this group of people.
If it were before, Barrett would still have doubts and think it was impossible.
But now, he has absolute trust in Su Lun!
He vaguely guessed that this person would bring him a bigger surprise
As planned, as long as they can hold back the sixth-level "Ghost Hand" Doroselle, Su Lun's own survivability is not low.
When it comes to the life and death of the "Judgment Panel", Barrett will naturally fight for his life. Qian Jiao would not let Su Lun get into danger. Even if she herself was in danger, she would not let that guy get close to Su Lun.
Doroselle was pestered by two masters and had no time to take care of herself.
Su Lun also breathed a sigh of relief.
He looked at the more than a thousand people who fell into the water, and the double surgeon's seal also changed rapidly.
The pirate captains and squad captains naturally saw him, and a group of people with wings flew towards him.
Su Lun's eyes were cold and he murmured: "It's my turn to perform"
Void Fleet?
In Su Lun's eyes, as long as he is an enemy, it is void experience!
While watching Qian Jiao and the others holding back the enemy general, Su Lun felt that he could finally let go and make a move. As soon as his warlock seal was condensed, the eight-armed spider spear behind him had revealed its ferocious form.
The Warlock Seal changed again, and when the six-pointed star alchemy array under his feet lit up, a huge cross with a diameter of a hundred meters slowly formed above his head.
"Puppet Secrets·Puppet Theater!"
He threw five scrolls casually, and "bang bang bang" a burst of white smoke exploded, and five hundred runes were suspended out of thin air everywhere. As soon as the spider spear behind him was pulled, the puppets with blushed cheeks and weird smiles on their faces suddenly seemed to come to life. They made a "click-click" bite sound from their mouths and started to kill the thousands of people. past.
Looking again, he was holding the [Rune Man Leather Umbrella] in his left hand and [Hypnos' Black Scythe of the Night] in his right hand.
I have to say that Tianke’s mechanical equipment has space capabilities.
Even a mechanical octopus with high-level magic patterns, in the hands of those fourth- and fifth-level professionals, could not withstand a few cuts and was covered with tentacles.
This "Void Fleet" is not only composed of space professionals, but they also have more or less cursed objects with space abilities in their hands. Weapons that can cut space cracks are really tricky. Even if it is just cut a little, the impact on mechanical products will be very fatal.
Su Lun didn't want to see the fifty-dollar fortune that he had finally saved up being destroyed by these guys.
He lost a few heads in this battle, which already caused him great pain,
Fortunately, the mission of the mechanical octopus has been completed, and Su Lun also sank them into the water, waiting for an opportunity.
Now the main battlefield of Rune Puppet.
The puppet is not afraid of being killed.
If you want to kill, just kill. It won’t hurt or itch. Anyway, there are plenty of spares.
Su Lun alone controls five hundred puppets, fighting on the sea.
Not all pirates are fourth- or fifth-level leaders. Even in the North Sea Fleet, more than 80% of them are first- and second-level professionals.
Although these guys have awakened certain spatial abilities, they may be extremely sharp against other professionals, including puppets
If you want to kill, just kill.
No matter how sharp your knife is, are you still afraid of cutting wood?
The puppet's suicidal charge knocked the pirates into pieces.
Of course, the most lethal one is Su Lun.
At this moment, he was holding a black scythe in his hand, and the shadow of Death rose behind him.
It was like dumplings were falling into the sea, there were people everywhere, on broken pieces of ships and wine barrels
Su Lun's black scythe slashed several enemies with almost no need to aim.
Although Black Scythe has a low chance of hitting against high-level professionals, for low-level professionals, the opponent has almost no time to react.
Often when a knife is struck, limbs fly around and plasma splashes.
As soon as there were more corpses, the blood quickly stained the entire sea surface
And Su Lun himself was not idle either. Looking at the clouds of "gray mist" on the sea, he also rushed over and harvested them.
"You stripped away the soul of 'Arkham Ryder'"
"You have gained some "space spell" casting skills, experience +13"
"You have gained a small amount of space law understanding"
「」
"You stripped the soul of 'Oga Kingsley'"
"You stripped away the soul of 'Syam Boli'"
"You stripped the soul of 'Mike Tyson'"
「」
Experience +18, Experience +9, Experience +131, Experience +12, Experience +41
These low-level pirates have understood some space laws by relying on the fusion of space cultivation equipment. Although there are not many, there are a lot of them!
Even if there was an overlap later in the harvest, Su Lun could see with the naked eye that his understanding of the "Law of Space" had skyrocketed in a short period of time.
As for those fourth- and fifth-level pirates, want to surround and kill him?
In the "Puppet Theater", Su Lun's fighting ability is extraordinary.
Even if he can't be beaten, he will run away.
Su Lun's space ability is no worse than any pirate captain here.
His life-saving ability is very strong.
Not to mention that not far away, the men and horses of the "Dawn Regiment" and "Judgment Regiment" also took speedboats and ferociously surrounded us
The battle reached its climax the moment the mechanical octopus destroyed three battleships.
Because the ship was destroyed, there was no room for escape. This kind of life-and-death battle involving the destruction of the group was fought fiercely by both sides.
Not far away, Senjou and Barrett were also engaged in a fierce battle with the "Ghost Hand" Doroselle.
Because it is a desperate fighting style, the two sides are fighting hard to separate each other.
Doroselle is a professional in the "Fighter" sequence and is good at close combat. Whether it's the cursed object glove in his hand or the [Void Ghost Hand] fusion equipment he's fused with, they are all very compatible with his profession. He can shatter the void with one punch, ignores armor and elemental protection, and will definitely make the opponent doubt his life.
Doroselle is very confident that even if it is one versus two, he still has a chance of winning. However, the opponent did not confront him head-on at all. It was like a fist hitting cotton, unable to show his true combat power at all.
Doroselle was vaguely aware that they seemed to be stalling for time, but she didn't know why they were doing this.
Are there any reinforcements?
Although the ship was destroyed, Doroselle didn't panic much.
After all, he has the ability to move through space. If he really wants to leave, no one will be left behind!
If we really find a chance for him and kill these two guys who are pestering him, he can still make a comeback!
I never thought that Su was waiting for the enemy to have this mentality of "I can fight back"
This "Ghost Hand" Doroselle immediately chose to escape, and Su Lun really couldn't do anything about him.
But he chose to stay and wait for Su Lun to free up.
Then, the ending will come, and I’m afraid it won’t be as “free to come and go” as he expected.
