She Is Not a Witch Chapter 165: Thunder and Silver Wheel (2)
On the west side of Jingyue Strait, Banguo Island.
This small island in the strait is still in the ocean further west than Hopeland, and now it is at the rear of the war.
"Master Black, Master Lund is here."
In a giant shipyard on the island, Black stood under the giant battleship that was about to be completed, looking up, feeling deeply moved.
It's almost 5 years now. Leaving Hopelander, coming to this small island, performing the task, time passed by so fast.
He was just an orphan in Hopeland, and he was adopted by the Calites family as a guard, and then promoted by Miss Lacey, and finally grew to his current position, unknowingly So many things have been experienced.
I still remember that Miss Lacey called him into the office that day, asked about his ambition and future plans, and then confessed herself to this task.
"Although we have gained independence and signed a contract with Hanshuang, this is only a brief truce. With the support of the Dayas Chamber of Commerce, the steel battleships of the Hanshuang Alliance will be explored and realized step by step." Lorrain Hill said so, his light-colored pupils were like clear crystals.
"And Calites must not fall behind, and even have to make arrangements in advance to prepare for the possible future war."
"So, I need a trustworthy person to perform difficult tasks."
"Blake is willing to follow the will of the eldest lady." He knelt on one knee at the time, swearing a promise.
Later, Miss Lacey gave him thick drawings, many materials, inheritance gems, and even a panacea to enhance his own strength, so that a year later, he entered Sequence 5, and now it is even more Just promoted to Sequence 6.
In the past few years, he has also been traveling between the island and various places, buying various materials, and then handing them over to the technicians. Under his witness, he built this huge shipyard step by step, and then it took a few more years to gradually Complete these giant battleships.
Until today, these steel battleships have not been fully completed.
"Master Lund is here." A guard came in to report, and then a man in a gray and black coat came over.
There is still some dust and oil stains on his clothes and hands. Most people can't see the master style, but only the staff here knows that this alchemist has a hard work on battleship technology and has a deep understanding and understanding. Outsiders It's hard to imagine.
In order to test the best hull structure, he led his master apprentices to do hundreds of thousands of experiments in the nearby waters, and build one after another model and experimental ship. Until the birth of these three battleships.
"Master Black is asking me for anything?" Although Lund is the chief technology officer of the island, Black, as Miss Lacey's agent, is in charge of everything and has a higher status.
"Ms. Lacey wrote to me recently, here." Black had nothing to hide about Lorrain Hill's instructions.
Lund took the letter paper and looked at it carefully.
The letter tells Black and Lund that the Kingdom of Cranberries has now agreed to form a full alliance with Crancia, and Calites and New Verga will also participate. After the reorganization of the three warships is completed, they will be launched directly to the front line, merge with the fleet of the Young Berry Kingdom, and then fight against the combined fleet of Frost.
"Is this day finally here?" Lund exclaimed.
Although he came from the Frost Union, he was ostracized and despised because of his poverty and small faction, and then led the students to migrate to Wilga. I don't want to think that after many years, I finally turned to the opposite of the once country.
But now in the world of Yvar, the concept of family and country is not prominent. He did not receive any favors when he was in Rulna, and later moved away with his family, so he would not feel uncomfortable because of this. I just sigh that things are impermanent, and the circumstances of life are so different.
The third-rate alchemist who had been ignored in Rulna before and was always indifferent, has now turned into the chief technical officer of the Calites Chamber of Commerce. If the war is won, he will be able to obtain a good one in the following countries. Location, this was once unimaginable for him.
"I see, I will let the apprentices and juniors take care of it." He looked at the giant battleship towering close to the dome in front of him, stepped forward, approached slowly, and then gently stroked the hard one. Steel hull.
While the Cinnamon Kingdom was still using sail-driven warships, Frost Union had already begun to use sail- and tail-rotor hybrid-powered iron-clad warships. Its shape is probably similar to the battleship of Lorrain Hill in the memory of World War I.
The outer layer has a thick wrought iron shell, and there is a teak compartment that is more than half a meter thick in the middle to relieve impact and shells. There are several layers of steel structure on the innermost side, which can be regarded as an iron-clad battleship with a mixture of wood and steel.
The technology that Lorrain Hill left behind is to aim at the classic design of World War II in memory, the template of the Dreadnought from the beginning, to improve it. From the beginning, the heavy and windy mast sails were abandoned, and they were propelled purely by the powerful propellers at the tail.
The size of the battleship has also stretched to more than 200 meters, with a displacement of more than 24,000 tons. There are two sets of magic steam turbines inside. The speed can reach up to 28 knots. It can also travel at a speed of 20 knots at ordinary times, far exceeding the current average speed of Frost. Ship of 18 knots.
The bottom of the hull adopts a sealed compartment, and the armor structure is optimized. The hull has a total of 5 double 300mm main turrets in the front, three and the rear. The main gun was originally designed as an ordinary magic gun. But last year Lorrain Hill sent a new design drawing based on the information from the twilight era.
The esoteric patterns and theories have not been completely digested by Lund so far. Fortunately, he only needs to draw a gourd according to the scoop. No matter what the meaning of the pattern, as long as he can run, it seems to be fine.
And such a main gun far superior to the Frost Union, the [Burning Hollow Cannon] (evaluation: Rare Pearl Grade) was created. This is also the best combination that Lorrain Hill can make after systematic estimation.
She knows that there are many extremely advanced technologies and weapons in the twilight era, but due to the fact that a series of industrial chains such as basic materials, personnel, facilities, and so on have not been completed, she can only sigh with excitement and stay in the system for the time being.
"Did Miss Lacey decide the names of the three warships?" Lund asked suddenly.
"Well, they are the first ship Aglaia, the second ship Talia, and the third ship Auverlone, which are the three goddesses of beauty."
With the launch of these three "Dreadnought-class" battleships, thousands of crew members of the Calites Chamber of Commerce boarded the battleship and gradually became familiar with them under the guidance of the technical officer. Then they made a long light blue wake on the sea. Thinking of the young berry kingdom in the southeast, drove away.
——————
A week later, Jingyue Strait.
"Report to Lord Black that the enemy is found ahead!"
In the spacious and light-colored command tower, Black hadn't fully adapted to this new-style warship, and an early warning sound came from the trumpet on the side.
"It seems that the other party won't give us time to prepare this time, Master Lund." Blake said to the alchemist beside him wearing a purple and white uniform.
"It's true, but it's a good time to experiment with our results." Lund looked at the constantly surging waves outside the window, his heart surged. A desire and thought to prove oneself hovered in my heart.
He also wanted to surprise those who had looked down upon others and feel the unparalleled power of this warship.
"The main gun is ready." Black pointed at the horn on the side and said.
"Yes!" A series of neat responses came from the pipe.
The heavy and oppressive large main turret slowly turned. With the continuous focusing and adjustment of the sight, the muzzle of the main gun slowly drooped, aiming at the armored fleet in the distance. The new-style magic furnace in the battleship also continued to charge up, and complicated and exquisite enchanting patterns appeared on the barrel, and the shells gradually turned red and then turned blazing yellow.
"Fire!"
There was a dull shock from the muzzle, and the huge recoil made the warship with a displacement of more than 24,000 tons tilted slightly, and then a few gold-plated shells glowing with red light directly broke through the atmosphere, with a terrifying power. The enemy ship that directly penetrated several kilometers away will directly explode, forming rising fragments and flames.
"How is it possible?"
On the iron-clad ship of the Frost Union, a high-ranking mage couldn't believe it. He stared blankly at the battleship that was surging and burning on the surface of the sea, and then slowly sank.
As an elite mage of the big faction of Ruhrna, he has always been proud of the technology possessed by the country. Where did the battleship with the purple flower and starlight flag come from? How could it have such a powerful magic guided gun? There are also warships several times the size of their own.
Is that the masterpiece of Hinayue Council? But don't they reject machinery and steel? What is it all about? Countless questions are circling in my heart, but there is no time to think about it at this moment.
The terrifying cannon on the battleship on the opposite side spewed fire one after another, and one after another, the red cannonballs carried amazing power.
Even if the hull raised a light blue barrier, it was blown through by the heavy hammer of god-like anger, allowing countless water to flow in, and finally sinking the ship.
"Fight back, fight back! Counterattack!"
A naval commander eagerly yelled at the gun crew inside the battleship, his face glowing with excitement.
Boom--
As the artillery inscribed with the magic pattern sounded, the 40 artillery pieces fired from back to front one by one, and the shells shot at the enemy's three warships like screaming black spots.
But it is a pity that most of them have fallen into the sea before they reach the three warships, only splashing waterless flowers.
"Damn it, speed it up!"
The general of the Iron Armored Fleet became angry and asked the flagship under his command to raise a special signal flag, and then fully operated the magic furnace to increase the propulsion force, and wanted to drive forward.
On Calites' side, the observer also reported the situation to the flagship on the head after seeing it.
"Master Black, the other party hastened to chase him."
"Then we also speed up, try to get rid of them and keep our distance."
So the two fleets launched a thrilling chase at sea, and more than 30 ironclad ships on one side were mighty, breaking the waves and marching towards the southwest. On the other side, the three Aglaia-class battleships made a long curved arc in the sea, constantly bombarding the enemy ships at the side and rear.
Compared with the armored fleet, which can only chase the enemy straight with the bow, the three Aglaia-class battleships can not only maintain the firing range and superior distance, but also have the spare power to swing out the arc, so that their hull appears to be tilted. The T-shaped constantly shelled each other.
"No!"
In the chasing iron-clad fleet, one battle after another exploded in the opposing gunfire, and the broken wrought iron and wood chips flew up, and a huge orange-yellow shattered flame ball rose up, and then sank into the icy deep seabed.
Scenes like this were staged time and time again, causing the crew and wizards in the fleet to gradually collapse. They also tried to get a few wizards to lift off to raid the opponent’s battleship, but unfortunately, the floating wizards were shattered into pieces in the air by the dense secondary artillery before they approached, becoming a personal-shaped firework, and finally falling into the sea. .
And just as the general of the Iron Armored Fleet was struggling and hesitating to retreat, a high-ranking wizard advisor next to him stepped forward and said.
"My lord, our reinforcements are here."
Above the three Aglaia-class battleships, the layers of dark clouds broke open, and one after another iron-gray airships drilled out of them, and the flanks of the sails of these airships still had strands of water mist. It has not dispersed yet, leaving a long wake in the air.
With the arrival of the cluster of more than 200 airships, the huge and layered shadows shrouded the three warships that set sail for the first time as small as fingers.
The sky seemed to darken suddenly, and the roar of the huge propellers reverberated in the sky, as if a heavy gray sky was falling, and the violent and dense fluctuations of extraordinary magic power made the crew on the three battleships feel suffocating and terrifying pressure.
Every airship has dozens of wizards in place, and in this airship cluster, there are more than 3,000 magical sequence wizards, among them there are even sequence 6-7 elites, and there are even Feel the existence of magic sequence 8 and above.
In order to deal with the powerful Youngberry Kingdom, the Frost Union transferred its focus to the Jingyue Strait, striving to block and defeat this same door from the south, which is another mage line left over from the Oz Kingdom.
One after another, turbulent red cannonballs shot into the sky from the turret, and then they were resisted by the vast array of chains.
Thousands of wizards cast spells at the same time, and a blue magical array is formed in the sky. The vast and complicated pattern is like a new sky, layered down to resist the shells under the array.
Boom bang——
Broken shells exploded in the sky like fireworks, then fell, and splattered on the deck and the sea below.
Blake walked out of the bridge. He looked up at the skyship, stretched out his hand to block the falling sparks and remaining ashes, clenched his fist, and then loosened it weakly.
"Even if you have been prepared for many years and have technological advantages, you can't resist such a huge national advantage."
The hovering airship opened the hatch below, and began to stretch out its barrels to aim at the weak and lonely three battleships below. The muzzle gradually turned from dark to orange and gradually charged.
As the crew on the battleship slowly despaired, a flash of light lit up on the edge of the sky, followed by the sound of rolling thunder.
"Is it thundering? This time."
A wizard in the Iron Armored Fleet looked up carelessly. At this time, the warship under him had already stopped chasing, quietly watching the destruction of the three enemy ships in the distance.
At dusk, under the thick, almost black lead cloud, a galloping lightning rushed in the sky. It was a figure that was almost deformed. His body seemed to be made of golden electric light, following the approaching limit of running, Razer that grows and grows pulled by time and space. The terrifying coercion from this shocking electric light truly conveyed the mighty power of Transcendental Sequence 9.
The magical power blooming fiercely in this golden electric light is like a sharp arrow, piercing the depressed and stagnant gray sky, straight into the layer of dark airship above the sea.
A spreading ripple suddenly rises in the airship cluster.
A man in an elegant robe appeared in the sky. His short black hair gradually turned white in the continuous emergence and release of magic power, and then turned into a blazing white blue. Another sage of Magic Sequence 9 appeared.
"Mystery of Time and Space III·Stagnation."
A huge clock appeared in the sky where the airship was, with extremely precise gears and hands on it, and then there were 6 small clocks inside. As the hands turned, everything around it seemed to freeze.
If you compare the air to clear water, and now the water seems to be frozen, in Black’s perception, everything seems to be extremely slow. He wants to open his mouth and say something, but for a long time, the teeth A few millimeters away from the lower jaw.
The projectile just left the muzzle and slid slowly in the air, not much faster than the snail. He could clearly see the patterns that appeared on it, as well as the spreading air waves.
The propeller on the airship in the sky also seemed to stop spinning, and everything became quiet.
And when the blazing lightning plunged into the stagnant gray sky, it was like smashing countless pieces of glass, creating a noisy trajectory in the quiet space of stagnant water.
"Uleavis, it's you." The man in the sky looked at the gradually clear thunder light, and his face confirmed the identity of the person who came.
"Long time no see, Silver Wheel Pointer Clark."
Although the words on the mouth were soothing and peaceful, the lightning in the sky suddenly flashed.
Crack————
A shocking thunder light exploded the thick lead cloud in the sky, breaking this almost quiet space with the most violent force. After the blinding glare and thunder, the cold moonlight appeared in the night sky, a ship The propeller of the airship re-turned in the moonlight, and the world seemed to have a sound suddenly again.
But the battle did not end there. The clock dial in the sky resurfaced, its color like silver, transparent and cold, and when its hands turned, the two hundred airships in the sky suddenly disappeared, and then reappeared.
"Mystery of Time and Space II·Transfer."
Layers of airships are arranged in a huge circle in the sky, surrounding the golden electric light in the center. The muzzle on the airship suddenly fired, and the dense flares joined together, and the sound was so dense that it could not distinguish the intermittent, cathartic artillery fire. Converging towards the center, as if drawing a dense pattern pointing to the center of the circle in the sky.
And just when the electric light flashed again~IndoMTL.com~ another sage in the sky also spoke again.
"Mystery of Time and Space Four · Cutting"
The electric light in the center seemed to be trapped in a spherical narrow space for a short time, and then flooded by countless fire lights and cannonballs.
After a few seconds, the fire gradually extinguished and the smoke filled. Just when some wizards were grateful, a series of trembling purple electric sparks lighted up on all the airships, and then burst open.
Along with the billowing black smoke, these airships crashed into the sea, and the mages among them flew out of them like ants and fled around.
The thunder light in the sky gallops again, carrying the natural power of heaven and earth to break through all obstacles.
And the silver roulette also turned again, and the secret techniques passed down from the ancient witch were performed one by one, using the human body to capture the awe-inspiring thunder light that wandered between the world and the earth.
The electric fire flew over, the thunder ripped through the layers of space, the hour hand turned, and the pointer on the silver wheel turned backwards.
——And now, Thunder and Yinlun are at odds with each other.
