Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 548: Ambush and Counterattack with Countermeasures

After Su Lun inquired about the enemy, he returned to the Evernight.

The target of the Magic Airship Castle is too big and it can't fly very fast. There is no need to deliberately follow it, just follow it all the way.

Just like how they followed the two big pirate groups in the West Sea and South China Sea all the way from Lu Ying, the Dawn Group followed far behind.

The people in the plane of gods chose to push across the way to clear the way, which also saved Su Lun and the others a lot of trouble.

The target of the magic airship is too big, and all the monsters and sea creatures within a few nautical miles will be disturbed. The powerful monsters will give it a try, and then be pushed aside by the 10,000-person corps and turned into corpses; the weak ones will stay far away.

In short, the Evernight followed those people and did not encounter any threatening monsters along the way.

A few days passed by.

The Evernight sailed on the sea calmly. It was not difficult to follow, but it did not find any opportunity to attack.

Everyone in the Dawn Group also lived a peaceful life for a few days.

But no one took it lightly, because they knew that a fierce battle was bound to come.

This day, evening.

The weather is not good, and the fog is getting thicker and thicker on the sea.

This kind of weather has low visibility, which is very suitable for hunters who are good at sneaking.

Everyone on the deck of the Evernight is also busy.

Dora is directing the mechanics to install some new mechanical devices on the ship. These high-tech mechanical accessories will be used on the [Sky Battle Fortress] in the future. Now they are put on Yongyehao for actual combat testing; The shipwrights are also helping to modify some structures of the hull; the artillerymen are maintaining the cannons; Senjo and a group of swordsmen are also busy practicing swords

It was a lively scene on the boat.

Su Lun heard the summons and came to the deck.

As soon as Tani saw him, he waved at the mast and shouted: "Mr. Sullen, here!"

Su Lun looked up and jumped onto the mast.

On the mast was not only Tani, but also Barrett and several warship staff officers. Seeing Su Lun coming, they all also said hello.

They all looked at the fog around them with solemn faces.

Originally, it was common to encounter foggy areas during long voyages, but there was obviously something fishy here.

Tani said directly: "This mist is the exhaust gas exhaled by high-level mirage beasts. It has a special magnetic field that will make the navigation needle point in the wrong direction. There is nothing strange at first. But one thing that is unusual is that the fish in the sea are affected by it. There should be a particularly powerful presence nearby. My mother also said that there is magic mixed in the wind."

"Yeah. Thank you for your hard work."

Su Lun nodded when he heard this.

He looked at the fog in the distance with deep eyes.

With Tani and his mother on board, the Evernight sailed like a divine aid.

Both mother and son have very rare sensory abilities, and their perception range at sea is very wide.

Many methods can hide from human perception, but they cannot hide from animals in nature. Tani's ability to hear the sounds of sea beasts is particularly special. There are also magic fluctuations in the wind, which are fluctuations that cannot be sensed by other means, but Friedel can accurately capture them.

Even if the magicians try their best to hide it, these flaws cannot be hidden unless they use any magic.

During the naval battle, the existence of Tani mother and son gave the Dawn Regiment unparalleled intelligence priority.

This is crucial!

Su Lun pondered for a moment and said in an unsurprising tone, "It seems like those from the plane of gods are preparing for an ambush."

Barrett and several staff officers on the side also nodded when they heard this. This was the same as their judgment.

Hearing this, Barrett asked: "Are we going to continue sailing along this route?"

Su Lun pondered for a moment and then asked: "What do you think?"

At this question, everyone’s expressions were slightly different.

The Dawn Regiment wants to plot against those ten-thousand-person corps in the plane of gods. The enemy wants to completely solve their trouble.

Although the waters of the Kingdom of Ancient Dragons are dangerous, it turns out that the Dawn Regiment is a greater threat.

In several conflicts, the Little Dawn Regiment caused heavy losses to the people of the God Plane.

No matter how Su Lun felt, he would definitely choose to get rid of this trouble first.

"The enemy's magic airship has a large target and is not easy to hide. If they want to intercept us, they will definitely choose an ambush. If I guessed correctly, there should be at least a ten thousand corps in front. Moreover, the opponent's tactics must be certain It is aimed at our capabilities that have been exposed now. There is a high probability that they will use the legion magic to freeze the sea and directly restrict our ships."

"If there are more than 20,000 groups, you may have to use Plan B."

"."

Su Lun knows almost everything about the legion tactics of the Celestial Plane.

In this situation, he can predict almost all the other party's plans.

But there are also things beyond calculation. For example, prophecies, or things like the power of gods that cannot be calculated by humans.

These uncertainties are where the risks lie.

Because they knew that the opponent would set up an ambush, the senior leaders of the Dawn Regiment had already recalled and studied in detail how to respond to the challenge, and the risks had naturally been calculated in detail.

"Agree!"

Hearing this, Barrett and several staff members nodded unanimously, thinking that they could give it a try.

When everyone came to the waters of Dragon Kingdom, everyone was already mentally prepared to deal with the risks.

You can't avoid it.

If these people on the plane of gods are not dealt with, their risks will be even greater.

It is ten thousand times better to take the initiative to solve some troubles, but the enemy will come to you and fight passively.

What's more, even if the Dawn Regiment is facing a group of tens of thousands of people, it is not without the power to fight.

There is also the sword **** "Dragon Hunter" Bartolo on the ship, "Blood Duke" Wordsworth has also successfully advanced to the eighth level, and No. 19. With top-level combat power, he is not afraid of being attacked. People beheaded.

The remaining combat power, such as the top artillery on the ship, is definitely the nemesis of the legion. As long as ammunition is spared, the output alone is not inferior to legion magic in the slightest.

What's more, Su Lun has backup means.

The staff team made a decision, and as soon as the order was issued, everyone in the Dawn Regiment immediately implemented it efficiently.

As soon as they heard that they were preparing to fight, the crew began to inspect various shipboard equipment and load ammunition.

Once a battle is triggered, they can react immediately.

Not long after, the fog around the Evernight became thicker and thicker.

Su Lun and all the perception professionals tried their best to use their perception, but without any surprise, no abnormalities were found.

Only Tani relies on the information fed back by the fish from time to time, as well as his mother's natural perception of the Naga tribe, to determine the surrounding situation.

"Anomalies have been discovered in the northwest, southeast, and northeast"

"After we came over, there were people behind us blocking our retreat. We should have entered the enemy's encirclement."

"."

Su Lun listened and calculated expressionlessly.

These subtle pieces of information may not make sense to others, but to his ears, they are just a set of standard template tactical arrangements.

The magicians in the plane of gods have been fighting all year round, and they have gradually developed their own complete set of methods of fighting against the enemy. There are also systematic teaching courses in the advanced command courses of the Magician Academy.

Although the time and place will cause temporary changes in the tactics, those who are truly proficient in those tactics can immediately infer the opponent's strength, layout and tactics according to the situation.

But even if you knew it, there would be almost no loopholes to exploit.

Because this is a strategy that has been perfected after being used countless times.

Unless you avoid it in advance, once you are surrounded, you will have no choice but to fight.

Su Lun listened to more and more intelligence. Before he saw the enemy, he had already judged a lot of important information, and muttered: "It seems that there are three thousand people's corps. Tsk tsk. .You really think highly of us."

He decisively used the Dawn Regiment's internal communicator to order: "Everyone, prepare to implement Plan B."

A response came immediately from the communicator, and all the commanders responded in unison: "Yes!"

Su Lun's mind is like a 3D sandbox at the moment, and the enemy's ambush location has been completely marked through data.

After calculating the coordinates in detail, he ordered: "Dora, the artillery regiment is ready to lock the target coordinates. 12.3° west by north, about 5300 meters; 17.4° north by east, 4700 meters; due north, 6500 meters; Three fixed coordinates are covered with heavy firepower, and we strive to break the enemy camp with the first round of artillery!"

Dora responded immediately: "Yes!"

After a few seconds, command feedback came from the communicator again: "The angle of the artillery has been adjusted, the coordinates have been locked, the ammunition has been loaded, and it is ready to fire at any time!"

As soon as these words came out, there was deathly silence in the communicator, and there was no sound on the ship.

Everyone is waiting for Su Lun's order.

Mist shrouded the hull, and the huge black sailboat seemed to be sailing into the mouth of a monster that was swallowing clouds and fog.

A chilling atmosphere gradually spread.

On the deck, some low-level crew members were already holding their weapons nervously and their hands were sweating.

Now that we have entered the enemy's encirclement, no one has any luck anymore, they can only fight.

At this moment, Su Lun's eyes flashed sharply, and he directly ordered: "Fire!"

In an instant, hundreds of artillery pieces on both sides of the Evernight's hull and several super-large-caliber God-destroying cannons on the deck spit out tongues of fire.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"."

The sound of artillery fire was deafening and deafening.

Those guys from the God Plane looked at the Dawn Group stupidly running into the encirclement, naturally thinking that their hiding method had not been discovered.

In order to hide the aura, they didn't even use any high-level magic barrier.

And this is the biggest flaw!

A flaw that is enough to severely damage the ten thousand-person corporation!

Su Lun knows everything about this "three regiments encircling one" tactic, including troop strength, location, and the most appropriate time to attack

So when the Dawn Regiment had just entered the encirclement, but before it could go deeper, he ordered an attack.

This distance is beyond the reach of the magicians, but the range of the artillery is completely within reach.

Su Lun also knew that only the first round of artillery had the best killing effect, so he did not skimp on ammunition at all, and poured out various high-level alchemy bullets worth millions for free.

After going through so many long battles, he has already summed up his experience.

As long as you can win, you will definitely gain more than you pay.

First round, second round, third round.

In a very short period of time, the artillery poured out firepower on the targets within the range.

Without being able to see the target, it was just Dora who accurately calculated the artillery trajectory and then fired blindly.

However, those cannonballs seemed to have eyes and hit accurately.

It’s exactly the same as Su Lun’s calculation.

Three artillery targets, including two desert islands and a temporary camp on the sea. Originally, it was covered by a very clever legion invisible magic device, and even high-level professionals could not detect it even if they were very close.

Unexpectedly, the magicians from the plane of gods thought they were perfectly concealed, but they were caught off guard by this round of artillery.

"咚", "咚", "咚".

The sound of artillery on the Evernight was as dense as a thunderstorm, and just the shock waves from the cannons stunned large swaths of sea fish in the nearby sea.

And near the three coordinates where the shell landed, huge flames exploded.

Thousands of alchemy bombs fell to the ground, no less than releasing thousands of seventh- and eighth-level spells at the same time, and exploded into pieces.

Last time, the ship was blown up from a distance, and the magicians might not have thought much of it. This time, the unsuspecting camp was bombed at close range. The magicians were immediately blown to pieces and suffered heavy casualties.

Just this round of artillery killed at least 12% of the magicians and injured countless others.

But after all, they are a group of ten thousand people with rich combat experience, and they react very quickly. When the artillery fired, the commander knew that he had been discovered, and all kinds of magic restrictions came out instantly.

"Damn it, how could we have been discovered? No matter, carry out the siege according to the Force plan!"

"The ice mass will freeze the sea surface immediately!"

"Yes!"

"."

Various legion magic tools and defensive magic instantaneous attacks completely covered the three temporary camps after the first round of artillery. If the shells from behind fall again, the casualties caused will be much smaller.

But even so, this is a loss that a corporation with tens of thousands of people has never encountered before. In any previous battle, they had never lost 20% of their troops without even seeing the enemy.

It's so abrupt that it makes people feel weird.

How was it discovered?

Moreover, if the enemy discovered the ambush in advance, why did they come in?

The commanding eighth-level magicians turned blue with anger.

But at this point, there is no other choice but to fight as planned.

When the legion magic tower lights up, legion magic is released one by one.

The fog on the sea is an obstacle to the Dawn Group, and it is also an obstacle to the magicians.

Just a moment after the cannon fired, a strong wind blew and dispersed the fog in an instant.

Because it was already evening and there was not enough light, the magicians also illuminated the sky with various flash techniques.

For a moment, the vision suddenly became clearer.

On the sea, everyone on the Evernight saw the coordinates of the shell landing and the warm yellow light of the legion's magic shield lit up, and they knew they had hit the target. Everyone cheered.

A magician without legion defense is as fragile as paper under the artillery fire. That round of artillery must have killed many enemies. At least the ammo was worth the money.

However, before long, the freezing sound of "click" and "click" suddenly sounded in everyone's ears.

Observers on several watchtowers on the top of the mast simultaneously issued a warning: "Attention everyone, the sea is frozen!"

Su Lun and Barrett had been standing on the mast for a long time, watching the white sea surface in the distance spread like a tide, their expressions were solemn, but they were not surprised.

Qianjiao leaned lazily on the mast, but the accumulated sword energy was faintly overflowing and he couldn't stop it.

She looked at the frozen sea, not only was she not afraid, but she muttered with a fighting spirit: "Oh, Su Lun~ You were right, these guys really chose the frozen sea. ."

Su Lun couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this, and complained in his heart: I asked you to come to the meeting and you fell asleep. Now everyone knows, but you are the only one who doesn't know.

But he also responded: "Because they don't control our ships, their large forces will not be able to catch up."

The speed of a Poseidon-class warship like the Yongye is the fastest of any sea-going ship. It is absolutely impossible for those guys from the plane of gods to chase them with a large force.

So only by restricting the departure of ships can we catch them all.

Furthermore, it doesn’t take much effort to freeze the sea with legion magic, and the probability of using it is almost 100%.

Su Lun knew those tactics very well, so it was normal for him to guess them.

While a few people were chatting, the white line on the sea in the distance had spread. Ice is coming from all directions, and the Evernight has nowhere to escape.

There was a sudden clang and vibration, and the Yongye was instantly frozen.

White frost spreads from the sea surface to the hull, as if the black sailboat is dressed in white gauze.

The surrounding air temperature dropped by dozens of degrees, and the warm sea breeze instantly became bitingly cold.

Everyone looked down and saw that the ice was getting thicker and thicker, with no possibility of breaking through.

However, although the ship could not move, the artillery continued to fire.

The two sides began to bombard each other from a distance.

But this distance is super convenient for the Dawn Group.

The artillery provides fire coverage with ease and precision.

But for a magician, it is already the limit of spell casting. Even with the blessing of the legion's magic guide, the magic power is greatly reduced.

Although the magic army is powerful, when it comes to long-distance bombardment, tireless artillery and alchemy bullets are much more efficient than the magic of magicians using human hands.

Due to the intensive fire suppression, the three ten thousand magic groups must also hold up the magic shield at all times and cannot rush in quickly.

This gave everyone in the Dawn Group ample time to respond.

Although there were many enemies, they did not gain the upper hand for a while.

Three thousand-person corps are equivalent to three ninth-level combat forces. For the current Dawn Regiment, this is not an enemy that can be faced head-on.

But everyone on the deck did not panic at all.

Because at least until now, everything that happened was as expected.

Seeing that the enemy had begun to encircle him, Su Lun said to everyone on the deck: "Put out the bait and activate the alchemy array!"

"Yes!"

Someone on the deck responded in unison.

Eight level six alchemists had already set up the eight-pointed star alchemy array. Upon hearing Su Lun's instructions, they immediately activated the alchemy array.

The hot white light lit up, and Su Lun threw another piece of **** meat into the formation.

It's not any other meat, it's the partial body of the sixth-level silver dragon that was collected in Eklensa, the capital of the Silver Dragon King.

This alchemy array has no use for standing in the east. Its only function is to spread the smell over a long distance.

That’s right!

Su Lun's "Plan B" is to divert trouble and kill people with a borrowed knife!

They chose to break into the encirclement because they wanted to severely damage the people in the plane of gods.

Now that the teleportation array on Rainbow Island no longer exists, these guys in the God Plane are more dead, less, and less of a threat.

If it is a legal group of ten thousand people, the Dawn Group is ready to take it directly.

But now there are three of them. They must either escape or find foreign help.

If he could lure the eighth-level silver dragon, Su Lun felt that there was a high probability that the three ten-thousand-person corporations would be severely damaged. When the time comes when the two powers compete, there will definitely be an opportunity to take advantage.

This plan involves a certain amount of gambling, because Su Lun is not sure where the silver dragon is, nor is he sure it will come.

But there's not much risk.

It doesn't matter even if you can't attract the silver dragon.

They were all planning to escape anyway.

Because he still has a small void realm,

He knew that people in the plane of gods must need intelligence support to make battle plans.

The enemy arranged a group of three thousand people to ambush Li Ming. This was already a "foolproof" high-end configuration.

But there is another piece of information that the enemy has not mastered, that is, Su Lun can directly stuff the Evernight into the small void world, and then teleport away.

So.

From the beginning, the tactic of restricting ships on the frozen sea had no effect at all.

Those guys in the plane of gods probably thought they had controlled the Dawn Regiment's ship on the ice and everything was fine.

So they adjusted their encirclement formation without haste, slowly approaching under the gunfire, and seeking a steady victory.

This did reduce casualties, but it also gave the Dawn Regiment more time to release the bait.

Su Lun and a group of high-ranking warriors from the Dawn Regiment also cooperated with them in acting, leading a charge to prepare for a breakout.

But since it is an ambush, the ten thousand people organization will naturally not leave any chance.

Many times they chose weak points to charge, but the opponent tried to hold them back at all costs, leaving the Dawn Regiment without any chance to escape with the large force.

But looking at the fierce battle, the Dawn Regiment actually did not suffer much loss.

Except for Qian Jiao and a few itchy Gao Zhan who charged in a few waves, most of the other movements came from artillery battles.

There are also some black technologies that have been used one after another, such as [Magic Laser Cannon], [Large Caliber Annihilation Cannon], and [Particle Penetration Cannon].

It is rare to have such a suitable enemy to practice with. All kinds of laboratory products targeting magic restrictions were tested in this battle.

Some new equipment works wonders, while others are less than satisfactory.

But it is only after actual testing that we know where the shortcomings are and then use feedback data to improve.

It was these war workshop mechanics who created these black technologies and bought the Dawn Regiment too much time.

The two sides fought like this for more than half an hour.

Seeing that the ambush circle was getting closer and closer, the two sides had already started a small-scale hand-to-hand battle.

Suddenly, an angry dragon roar came from far away.

Su Lun looked at the familiar silver figure on the horizon with joy in his eyes: "Finally here!"

Others in the Dawn Group were equally happy to see it.

The Silver Dragon is here, it’s Plan C.

This will multiply their results several times!
