Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 381: Kanken

In naval battles, artillery is the best weapon to use.

Especially when there is a gap in equipment and hardware between the two sides, the dominant side can use artillery to defeat the enemy at a long distance, thus minimizing combat losses.

Coincidentally, artillery control is a compulsory subject for students of the "Luying Royal War College".

The professional soldiers brought to the adjudication team by Barrett are all students of the Royal Academy. Almost all of them are certified "senior gunners" and "super gunners."

So much so that the three battleships of the Dawn Regiment fired a salvo of hundreds of artillery pieces. The shells seemed to be precisely guided, covering five pirate ships including the "Pulsatilla" a few nautical miles away with a very small error.

With this kind of firepower, the enemy can be directly sunk in just a few rounds.

Don't even think about boarding.

And Su Lun also guessed that there must be experts on the enemy's ship. After all, the intelligence said that the Pulsatilla was escorting a heavy treasure.

Therefore, artillery is also the most suitable means of testing.

If it can be solved with cannonballs, that would be the best.

Before the war started, Su Lun considered various possibilities.

He felt that the enemy would most likely choose to escape. After all, after chasing for so many days, they must have some special acceleration devices on those pirate ships.

Unexpectedly, the moment after the cannon sounded, a scene that shocked everyone in the Dawn Group would happen

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

""

The roar of artillery fire was deafening.

Su Lun stood on the deck, squinting his eyes slightly, watching the cannonballs rapidly hitting the local ships.

Some shells fell into the sea and exploded into waves more than ten meters high; some hit the enemy's pirate ships, causing cracks in the sails, masts, and wooden hulls

There are a total of five enemy ships, all densely packed together. This was originally the best target for attack.

But a strange scene happened before.

The shells were normal on the three ships. They penetrated when they should and exploded when they should.

But when it hit two of the ships, the cannonball was blocked by an invisible barrier, exploding in the air with ripples of gas explosion visible to the naked eye!

Looking at this scene, everyone in the Dawn Group looked shocked.

Barrett seemed to recognize something and immediately sent a warning: "No, there are seventh-level professionals on the enemy ship!"

Su Lun's expression suddenly changed when he heard this.

When he looked at the priests of the Agaparnon Temple just now, he vaguely felt that something was wrong.

I thought that this **** team would only have six-level professionals at most. It might be able to withstand attacks from hundreds of artillery pieces. This is definitely not something that sixth-level professionals can do!

Su Lun immediately realized that there might be a sensitive person on board the other party's ship!

An idea flashed in his mind, and he immediately guessed something: "Is it the "Frost Moon Princess" from Mafa, or a certain big shot in the temple? ”

If it were a big pirate from the North Sea Fleet, there would be no hiding at all.

It is possible that the people from the temple

But now in the entire Beihai, there are people who need to hide their whereabouts, and top experts are accompanying them. The one with the greatest possibility is Princess Stika!

"A clever man deliberately leaked the information about the **** of the "Pulsatilla", making people think that this was a plan to divide the forces. In the end, people were really mixed up in the **** fleet!"

Su Lun understood something immediately.

That Princess Stika did this was probably to avoid people like "God's Painter" Van Gogh.

The masters who wanted to assassinate her were attracted by the Royal Guards of the Moros city-state, so that she could leave without anyone noticing.

Why does it appear here?

Looking at the ongoing sacrificial activities, Su Lun guessed that the princess must have some agenda when she came here.

I thought it was an ordinary interception, but unexpectedly I actually intercepted a "big fish".

However, the fact is that nothing matters anymore. He directly ordered: "Continue the bombardment! Everyone is ready to fight!"

The current situation is that since they have met, no matter what the enemy's situation is, the enemy and they will not show mercy to each other.

Listening to Su Lun's order, the second round of ammunition was quickly loaded, and flames came out of the muzzle in a short time.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

""

The artillery fire exploded continuously.

Although Su Lun didn't see what the "sacrifice" was about, since those people would rather be shot than run away, it meant that the sacrifice was very important and could not be interrupted.

What the enemy wants to do is what the Dawn Group wants to destroy!

Even a seventh-level professional can never resist for long under a salvo of artillery fire

Obviously, it is impossible for the enemy to allow the Dawn Regiment to continue bombarding them.

At this moment, the black crows in the sky began to crow.

Su Lun realized that there was danger approaching, his eyes were like lightning, scanning everything on the sea.

At almost the same time, Tani also reported urgently on the communicator: "Captain, there is a huge sea monster in the sea attacking us! It seems to be the legendary 'North Sea Kraken'! ”

"Siren?"

Su Lun has naturally heard of the legend of the "North Sea Monster" that has been circulating in the North Sea.

It is said that there is a huge tentacled monster in the deep sea. It has a huge body as big as an island and can easily drag a large warship into the sea.

Su Lun's expression sank and he shouted: "Leave the Kraken to me! Captain Barrett, Sister Senjo, Dr. Banks, beware of the enemy's seven-level decapitation guy."

Qian Tiao and several people responded: "Okay!"

As he spoke, Su Lun jumped onto the side of the ship and looked towards the sea.

With his eyesight, he could vaguely see a huge dark shadow swimming towards their battleship quickly, and the waves on the sea also started to churn.

The opportunity was urgent. Su Lun pinched the surgeon's seal and shouted softly: "Reproduction and removal!"

The eight-armed spider spear was revealed behind him, and with another transformation of the warlock seal, dozens more glass jars appeared out of thin air.

As soon as the mouth of the glass jar was opened, dozens of mechanical octopuses fell into the water with a splash.

Su Lun did not dare to be careless in this battle. He originally thought that there would be no need for so many mechanical octopuses, but now they have all been thrown into the sea.

The tentacles of the mechanical octopus are more than ten or twenty meters long, but compared with the shadow of the behemoth in the sea, it is far behind.

But fortunately there were enough of them, and the fifty mechanical octopuses all entangled themselves as soon as they came into the water.

At this time, because the sea monster was close to the sea, Su Lun could see its true appearance clearly.

This is really a super big octopus.

[North Sea Kraken Kraken]

Detailed explanation: Sixth-order overlord-level deep-sea giant monster; ancient mythical bloodline, giant titan sea beast; one hundred and eighty meters long, weighing more than three hundred and seventy tons; it has powerful tentacles and suction cups, and controls the power of the water element , has the ability to spray from a long distance; the mucus is highly corrosive; the epidermis is flexible and has a power-attenuating cortex, allowing it to easily resist conventional physical attacks;

Su Lun looked at the identified information and narrowed his eyes slightly.

He has always wanted to find the big octopus that has been passed down from generation to generation by Roman fishermen, but he didn't expect to encounter it here.

But also relieved.

This giant sea monster is almost invincible in the sea. Just this sea monster can easily sink three battleships of the Dawn Regiment.

That huge body, even if the black scythe wants to cut it, can't cut it.

Without the Mechanical Octopus Legion, the Dawn Regiment would really suffer a big loss

The mechanical octopus army quickly swam past the three warships before the "North Sea Kraken" approached the sea.

Even so, a thirty-meter-long tentacle filled with terrifying suckers roiled out of the sea. With a "snap", the huge waves set off almost overturned a battleship.

Su Lun's eyes flashed, and the mechanical octopus he controlled quickly surrounded and killed him.

They are all of the same species, and they are all good at strangulation attacks. Seven or eight mechanical octopuses wrapped around a tentacle, and in the blink of an eye, they wrapped the giant one tightly.

In order to better control the mechanical octopus army, Su Lun has also been studying the physiological structure of octopuses these days, and he has a very good understanding of the force generation mode of this creature.

I don’t want to kill this, but at least I can trap it.

Although the surface of the "North Sea Kraken" is highly corrosive, Su Lun's hand-painted runes and coating layers on the mechanical octopus also came in handy during this time. In a short period of time, the enchanted coating of the mechanical octopus is not easily corroded.

Just like that, before this giant sea monster could emerge from the sea, it was pinned down in the sea by dozens of mechanical octopuses and tortured, unable to show off its cruelty.

There were fierce battles under the sea, and there were also stormy waves on the sea.

The three battleships of the Dawn Regiment were swaying in the waves. Fortunately, the several lieutenant commanders in the gun room had enough experience in naval battles, and the artillery never stopped.

Although the hit rate is a bit off, a hundred cannons can always hit a lot in one round.

The high-precision characteristics of Marfa military artillery were also fully utilized in this war.

At this distance, the enemy cannot organize any effective counterattack.

After just a few rounds of artillery fire, the enemy's five pirate ships, except for the two that had barriers to intercept, the other three had their hulls damaged by artillery, and they were slowly sinking with blazing flames.

The sea is full of pirates who have fallen into the water, and the source of wailing and screams echoing in the waves

Not only Su Lun and the others were caught off guard because they accidentally bumped into a "big fish"; on the other hand, "Frost Moon Princess" Skadi and her party on the "Pulsatilla" were even more confused. Forced.

Three ships came inexplicably, and they just fired their guns as soon as they met, but now the "North Sea Kraken" didn't even sink them?

The sound of shells breaking through the wind was endless in my ears, and the sound of explosions was loud. Seeing this scene, Princess Stika's face became very solemn: "What's going on? Why didn't the 'Kraken' sink their ship!"

She knew very well about the deep sea giant monster. This kind of monster was almost invincible in the sea and could not be resisted by a few wooden ships.

It’s useless now?

A subordinate quickly reported the report: "Your Highness, those guys have a special method to control the sea monster. Judging from the situation, it seems to be some mechanical octopus."

"People from Archduke Raphael?!"

Hearing this, Princess Stika’s face was solemn.

Her first reaction was "assassin".

If the enemy has prepared targeted means, he must have complete intelligence.

Stica then understood that the prophecy refers to now.

At this moment, Merdis, the "King of Thieves" on the side, also looked solemn and said: "Your Highness, we have no advantage in the artillery battle, and it will definitely not work if we continue like this. I will find a way to kill them. Otherwise, Our situation will be very bad."

The energy barrier that blocked the cannonballs was released by him. Without him, the two ships would have been sunk long ago.

As soon as these words came out, a priestess from the Agapathenon Temple looked shocked. She couldn't care less and quickly interjected: "But the sacrifice has not been completed yet. Once the 'Sea King' gets angry, all our efforts will be wasted! And if Interrupting the sea festival in the middle will bring unpredictable and terrifying consequences!"

"Humph!"

Hearing this, Merdis snorted: "I am employed by Emperor Marfa, not you Roman. What does your sacrifice have to do with me?"

This said, the domineering power of the seventh-level powerhouse makes people breathless.

Hearing this, the female priest looked anxious, but she did not dare to speak again.

She could only turn her head to look at Princess Stika.

Unfortunately, Princess Stika looked gloomy but did not speak.

Because she knew very well that even if she was as strong as a seventh-level professional, she would never be able to withstand the artillery attack for a long time.

To protect two ships, not to mention that the spiritual energy is consumed very quickly, but a lot of spiritual energy is really consumed in this kind of thing. By then, her situation will be very dangerous.

Although she also knew that the consequences of interrupting the sacrifice would be very bad, she had already determined that this was an "assassination" against her. Compared with her life, she still had to make an immediate decision.

Thinking of this, Stika said: "Mr. Merdis, be careful."

Merdis immediately understood, "Okay!"

Another meaning of this saying is, if you can't do anything, protect me first.

Speaking, this "Top Ten Legendary Bounty Hunter" put away his domain barrier, stepped on his feet, and jumped onto the sea

The masters of the Dawn Regiment are all on the deck, always paying attention to the situation of enemy warships in the distance.

At this moment, everyone watched as the energy shields on the three ships suddenly disappeared, and a figure crossed the sea and was heading towards them quickly.

The observer on the mast immediately shouted: "It's coming! Everyone, be careful."

Su Lun gave an order: "Keep firing and sink those two ships!"

At the same time, Barrett, Senjou, and Dr. Banks jumped into the sea and rushed towards the figure.

The professional opposite was wearing a black cloak. Although his face could not be seen clearly, after he moved, a three-headed monster like a sheep, snake, and lion appeared behind him.

"Second interpretation of the phantom beast talent [A-044-Chiramei]!"

Looking at the vision, Su Lun immediately recognized the talent and even guessed the identity of the person coming.

This kind of talent is rare to begin with, and since it is the second level and the seventh level, it can only be obtained by one person.

That is the "King of Thieves" Carlo Merdis, one of the "Top Ten Legendary Bounty Hunters"!

Su Lun felt something bad in his heart, and immediately sent a warning to everyone through the communicator: "Be careful, that's the "Thieve King" Merdis! ”

He really didn't expect that during what he thought was a normal robbery, he would meet such a famous and top-notch strong man.

The current strength of the Dawn Regiment is not weak, but its high-end combat power is still a bit lacking.

Although there is still room for a battle, if there is a head-on confrontation, heavy losses will surely occur.

But when this legendary bounty hunter appeared here, he was 100% sure that on the opposite boat was Marfa’s Frost Moon Princess!

"No, the other party doesn't know the strength of our Dawn Regiment yet!"

Suddenly, Su Lun thought of something in his mind, and a plan flashed across his mind.

If this is the case, maybe there is no need to fight to the death!

At this time, Su Lun had a black scythe in his left hand and took out [Kronos' Curse of Time Bow] in his right hand.

He is very self-aware, and she cannot handle a battle of this level. Only these two forbidden objects can pose a threat to the enemy

The battle is about to begin.

"Thief King" Merdis looked at the three people getting off the other side's boat, and first smiled scornfully: "You don't even have a domain to condense, and you're not strong either."

There is no cohesive field, which means that it is at most six levels.

Three or five of these enemies are not a threat.

But the next second, when he looked at the golden body of the Rakshasa girl rising behind Qianjou, he was stunned and blurted out as if he had seen a ghost: "Sanjie [Rakshasa Girl] How is this possible! In this world There are actually people who have realized the three-dimensional talent?"

Looking at the thunderclouds gathered in the "Thunder Hell" in the sky and the sword energy soaring into the sky, Merdis frowned.

He actually felt danger from a professional who was lower than himself?

At the same time, he turned his eyes and looked at the person who transformed into a giant ape, and recognized it: ""Beast" Barrett? ”

But he was also surprised: "Why does this guy appear here?"

At this glance, it seems to be broken immediately.

On the ship in the distance, Princess Stika also recognized Barrett, and immediately understood that these people in front of her were the "mysterious forces" that made trouble in the Moros city-state that night.

And Dr. Banks’s method was even weirder. He jumped into the sea, and the huge sea seemed to be poisoned, turning pitch black. On the large black water, seabirds fell one after another, and even the mosquitoes died.

In just an instant, several people collided with each other.

Even if it were one against three, Merdis would still have the upper hand.

Once his "empty domain" is activated, whether it is sword energy, poison, or power hammer, the damage to him will be very limited.

Compared with the three people in front of him, he was more afraid of the guy on the boat in the distance holding a bow, arrow and sickle.

At this moment, Su Lun was standing on the bow of the ship, having drawn the [Bow of Time] with a serious look on his face.

However, he did not aim at "Thief King" Meldis, but aimed his bow at the cloaked man surrounded by several people on the "Pulsatilla" in the distance.

He knew very well that the Barrett trio could hold on for a while, but there was absolutely no chance of winning.

If this drags on, the situation of their Dawn Regiment will only get worse.

Now the only advantage of the Dawn Group is that the opponent does not know their true situation.

"Continue the bombardment! Sink them as soon as possible!"

"Yes!"

The other good news is that the members of the Dawn Regiment are very powerful. The artillery on the three battleships did not stop and directly hit the last two remaining battleships of the other enemies

Su Lun did not hesitate at all. After drawing the bow, he shot an arrow directly.

The "Arrow of Time" can ignore most defenses and hit the human body.

A guard stood in front of Princess Stika. In an instant, her life was drained by light arrows and turned into a mummy.

Looking at the corpses around her, Stika turned pale with fright. How could she not recognize the famous forbidden longbow [Kronos' Time Cursed Bow] from the Luying Military Intelligence Agency?

What’s even more frightening is that as soon as this arrow came, the second arrow followed!

A forbidden object would not have originally made Stika so frightened.

But seeing another of her subordinates die, the unknown in her heart suddenly turned into fear: "How is it possible? Why didn't that guy suffer the backlash of the curse?!"

Looking from a distance, she saw that the guy on the opposite deck had already drawn his longbow with an expressionless expression, preparing to fire the third arrow

It is not a lie that Su Lun can peel off and improve the [Master Level Archery Proficiency]. Even if the guards around Princess Nastica tried their best to avoid it, they could not avoid it.

To avoid the eyes of Lu Ying's spies, she cannot have Marfa masters with her.

It was not easy to hire a "Top Ten Hunter". Those fourth-level guards could not give her any sense of security at this moment.

Forbidden objects without curse backlash are so unreasonable.

Enables top professionals

Su Lun felt pain in his heart as he consumed the [Sands of Time], but he fired two arrows in succession. It was this unhesitating momentum that scared Mafa's people and made Merdis, the "King of Thieves", throw a tantrum at him.

Little does this legendary bounty hunter know that if he continues to tangle with the Barretts, the Princess Stika he protects will die on the spot.

This guy is also a very tough guy. Even though Barrett and the other two were dragging him to prevent him from getting close to the ship, he blocked the three of them with one blow. As soon as the Warlock Seal condensed, his feet suddenly lit up. Eight-pointed star formation: "The Secret of Flame·Sword of Holy Light!"

A long sword emitting hot white light suddenly condensed in his hand and pointed towards Su Lun.

Su Lun saw the lightsaber pointed at him, and his scalp immediately went numb.

The murderous aura of a seventh-level professional can be clearly felt even from several sea miles away.

At the same time, he also understood that this guy was willing to accept Mafa's employment, and most likely he was going for the space ruins.

[A-044-Chiramei] is gifted with extremely high affinity to the three laws of fire, space, and darkness.

That guy probably needs space materials too

Su Lun will almost certainly die if he resists the seventh-level technique.

But there was no flinching in his expression, much like a "dead soldier" from the Luying Military Intelligence Agency. The long bow in his hand was fully drawn and he shot out another arrow.

The light arrow once again took away the life of a guard beside Princess Stika.

At the same time, the seventh-level law-condensing flame technique also appeared in front of Su Lun, and it was inevitable to avoid it.

But at this moment, a tall alchemy demon teleported in front of him. The lightsaber pierced the demon's abdomen, revealing a silver metallic sheen. The high law burns the "wound", and it does not heal quickly.

Gargoyles of this level are far from able to stop seventh-level professionals. But in the end, the murderous intention was blocked.

Su Lun's expression remained calm. He drew his longbow for the fourth time and shot another arrow.

This time, another guard beside Stika was killed.

There are only two "shields" around her.

Almost at the same time as Su Lun shot the arrow, another seventh-level spell "Shadow Demonic Arrow" came towards him.

When the gargoyle is not restored, its stability will be greatly reduced.

This time, it may not be possible to block it.

At this extremely critical moment, a pretty figure quickly stood in front of Su Lun and blasted away the shadow arrow with one punch.

Su Lun breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at it: "Huh, she finally took action."

Looking again, the person who took action was the masked Pandora.

Her alchemy body is indestructible under certain laws and even seventh-level professionals cannot harm her body. At least this kind of long-distance technique is still a little short of

I saw a mysterious strong man with strange methods appearing again.

That Princess Marfa finally changed her color.

What she didn't understand was that he must be here to "assassinate" her.

A few people held Merdis down, and the archery master with the [Cronos' Cursed Bow of Time] started killing people.

Now that another person has appeared who can take over the seventh-level spell, Princess Stika feels that her situation has reached a point of life and death.

At the same time, Su Lun's fifth arrow had been pulled away and aimed again.

She was so frightened that she couldn't care about anything else. She quickly said through the communicator: "Mr. Meldis, don't worry about those assassins, take me away quickly! There is something wrong with the sacrifice, and the 'Haixu' may come at any time. Appear!"

It's not worth it to compete with a bunch of assassins.

Even if she could kill them all, it wasn't worth the risk for her body of ten thousand gold.

In the distance, Merdis frowned when he heard the order.

He very suspected that this mysterious woman who could take his attack was not very strong, but had a weird body.

Maybe try it again and you will know the result.

But the fact is that the situation no longer allows him to delay. If he is not sure that he can kill the man who pulls the bow in a short time, Princess Stika will be in danger. What's more, "Hai Ruins" cannot be underestimated.

A flash of hesitation flashed across Merdis's eyes, but he immediately left the battlefield and turned around and ran in the direction of several sunken ships.

Then under the shocked eyes of everyone in the Dawn Group, he led Princess Stika to tear up a special scroll. The figure flashed a few times and disappeared on the sea.

Su Lun didn't seem surprised when he saw this. He exhaled a long breath: "Finally left."

If they really wanted to win, their Dawn Regiment should have used all their strength to surround and kill the "King of Thieves" Merdis.

But the probability of death is high.

But Su Lun didn't want to see that situation.

So he has been very decisive in killing the Frost Moon Princess just to bet on this situation.

That princess cherished her life even more.

Will definitely retreat first

Pandora is willing to help, and Su Lun actually has great hope of killing the Frost Moon Princess.

But he didn't do that.

Can't kill either.

Because Su Lun knew very well that they could not deal with the "Thief King" Merdis for the time being.

Even if it could, the Dawn Regiment would suffer heavy losses.

On the contrary, keeping this princess will make that guy afraid.

Just like now.

A fierce battle ended suddenly, and no one in the Dawn Group seemed to understand what happened.

Seeing that the enemy really disappeared on the sea, Qianjou walked over and asked doubtfully: "Why did that guy run away?"

Su Lun sighed slightly and said: "That Princess Stika probably thought that we were here specifically to 'assassinate' her. We were not sure if we had any backup plan and didn't dare to risk our lives, so we ran away. ”

As he spoke, his expression was also complicated.

I really didn’t expect that there would be so many coincidences. I met a Princess Guimafa and a legendary hunter.

My luck seems to be bad

However, the matter has come to this, and there is nothing more to say.

Su Lun looked at the bottom of the sea. The mechanical octopus was still fighting with the North Sea monster.

He said: "Doctor, help me anesthetize that big guy under the water. The others will clean up the battlefield over there."

Dr. Banks said: "Okay!"

The rest of the Dawn Regiment also began to clean up the battlefield.

The people ran away, but the precious sacrifices and the treasures on the "Pulsatilla" did not escape.
