Stray Chapter 36: Seal and Attack
The magic airship slowly accelerated forward, sailing on the sea against the sea breeze.
The speed is not slow, but it is not particularly fast. After all, it is not an airplane, but an airship. Just looking at its advantages in terms of load, a slight lack of speed and flexibility can be tolerated.
Besides, it is only from the perspective of the people of Chaldea that they feel that the speed of the magic airship is not fast, but for people in this era, it is already an unimaginably advanced means of transportation.
At least the older generation took a long time to gradually accept these novelties, instead of taking everything for granted in this new world like the new generation...
The scenery on the airship is not bad. You can see the blue sea, the clear blue sky, and the fresh sea breeze. Fujimaru Rika stood on the deck with a group of servants, leaning on the guardrail and watching the scenery for a while.
This world is so beautiful, vibrant, and prosperous, completely untouched by human beings, and not turned into a burnt red earth. It is completely different from the singularity of the past, and it doesn't even feel like it A normal singularity.
Occasionally I can hear the sound of seagulls or something, but it's just a call from a distance.
Because of the giant wyvern, nothing dared to approach this magic airship easily. So they were all scared away from a distance, which made everyone feel somewhat regretful.
However, there are disadvantages and advantages, and it is not that there are no powerful fantasy species eyeing the airship on the way——
For example, there are several strong griffins flying through the sky in groups of three or five. It seems that they are hunting for food. They found the conspicuous target of the magic airship that appeared within their field of vision, but they were far away. After circling around for a few times, he was finally overwhelmed by the giant bipedal flying dragon, and he could only retreat angrily.
There are also strange creatures hidden behind the thick clouds in the sky, staring coldly at the slow-moving magic airship, and can only glimpse the body covered with huge scales through the gaps in the clouds, but it has never been in the end. out, so I don't know what it is.
And in the ocean below, under the deep blue sea, for a short period of time, an unusually huge shadow appeared, vaguely emerging in the rolling waves. The giant beast in the sea made the giant flying dragon extremely fearful, but perhaps the height of the airship has not dropped—
So there was no way for that thing, and after a while, it also chose to give up.
However, this also made Fujimaru Tachika and others more intuitively aware of what a complete God-era environment is. Not only is the concentration of magic power in the atmosphere particularly high, but even the entire natural ecology has obvious problems.
Even fantasy species can be found everywhere!
What is a fantasy species, it is naturally the general term for the creatures recorded in myths and traditions around the world. Their existence is a mystery in itself, and logically speaking, even in the world of magic, it is extremely rare for them to be witnessed.
But now this singularity, whether it is the sky, the earth, or the ocean, seems to be able to witness all kinds of different fantasy species very easily. In less than two hours, it has already been seen. Three...
Although only the griffin has been confirmed for sure, the other two do not know what it is. They are hidden in thick clouds or under the deep sea level. Not only can they not be seen directly by the naked eye, but they also emit strong magic power. Shielded, isolated from magic detection.
However, this also proves the horror of this era. Not only can human beings reach a very high level of civilization through magic, but other high-level mysterious creatures have also benefited from such a superior mysterious environment. Saying it has become more commonplace...
Although it is not exaggerated to be as common as cats, dogs, chickens and ducks in the modern world, it is definitely not an endangered animal that needs to be protected, and it is not a concept that only appears in legends.
And the guards on the airship are also used to this. When this situation occurs, they are not too panic, but whenever a situation arises, they will act quickly and show well-trained As if it had become an instinctive operation of their bodies—
Activate the protective magic barrier, raise the giant rune heavy crossbow arrays on both sides of the airship, and charge the main guns on the ship at the same time, and there are people who specially record and send the information in real time through the spirit core of the airship go back...
No matter whether they can fight or not, what the final result will be, it is always right to be fully prepared, and their operation is also eye-opening for Chaldea and his party, and they feel more and more heavy. stand up.
Because in their eyes, this magic airship really has almost no shortcomings except that it is slower.
It can almost be regarded as a high-level servant of some Rider class. The Noble Phantasm used is generally positioned as a vehicle, with a terrifying range, terrifying firepower, and unimaginable endurance. The overall performance is fundamental It's beyond imagination...
In all fairness, if they are fighting on the ground, if they have no way to fly or their anti-air capabilities are not up to the standard, then when facing such a heavy weapon that controls the sky, they will really only be pressed and beaten. No matter how tenaciously you struggle, it is only the difference in the length of time.
If you can't get out of the battle in time and escape the tracking range of this thing, then the final result will really only be sent back to the Throne of Heroes...
It can be said that such a magic airship is the combat power of the Servant class, and it is often overwhelming. However, through the stereotypes of the staff and guards on the ship, the information obtained is that the current Camelot has produced more than 40 magic airships of this type.
There are also some other models, but the number is very small. If they add up, there will be less than 60 ships.
It is said that the maintenance of such heavy equipment requires huge resources to support it, that is, a behemoth like Camelot, which is developing rapidly, can easily maintain such a quantity and carry out basic construction. ,maintain.
However, the current situation is basically the limit. Before the development to the next stage, there should be no need to increase the number... In this regard, although the guards and staff on the airship are proud, they also Some regrets.
Since they have accepted this kind of work, they are naturally more accepting of the magic airship, and have a better understanding of its advanced and powerful.
As a result, I have awakened a strange idea more or less, that more is good, and big is beautiful. The kingdom has not continued to increase the number of such heavy weapons at present. Strengthening the size of such heavy weapons is really a little bit. sorry thing.
But the people of Chaldea didn't feel sorry at all, and they didn't feel any fortunate at all. After all, from the current situation, the strength of the opposite side was so heavy that they couldn't breathe. coming.
During the trip, Da Vinci also suggested to try to check the secrets on this airship.
And rightfully failed.
Everyone can only move in the cabin on the first floor below the deck, and cannot enter the lower cargo warehouse. It is not that the guards can really stop them, but the extremely powerful enchantment and the dense variety of detectives. Measurement, defense, and seal spells blocked the way.
Can be cracked, but very time consuming.
But if it is directly violently destroyed, it will definitely alert the people on the airship for the first time... Well, even if this issue is ignored, it is okay to not care about the consequences at all, but according to the confirmation of Miss Medea- —
She is convinced that among the densely packed spells, a considerable number of them are not for external defense, but for internal sealing, which means that in the lower warehouse, there may be something very dangerous or huge. energy.
And when I asked the guards and staff, even hypnotized them, I couldn't get a definite answer.
They all only know that they and others are responsible for transporting very important goods, and there can be no deviations. As for what it is, they are not clear at all. The only thing that is explained is when an accident occurs. , what should be done.
There seems to be something clearly wrong.
However, it is not difficult for the Chaldeans and his party, who had already prepared for this, to accept it. Besides, they were inexplicably involved in some situation, which was already familiar to Fujimaru Tachika and others.
……
……
The attack happened half an hour later.
The magic airship just sailed to a sea covered by dark clouds and flickering thunder.
Boom!
Because of the sudden and violent vibration, it was like the sudden braking of a speeding car, so there was no need to be notified by the Servant, and Fujimaru Rika had already woken up in her room.
She is required to rest well and recharge her energy. After all, as an ordinary person, it is difficult for her to compare with a Servant in both physical and mental strength, so she does not need to stand guard on it, always pay attention to the movement, etc. Better to adjust the state.
This will be more beneficial for the Servants - the status of the Servant does not affect the Master, but the status of the Master often affects the Servant.
When she rushed to the deck in a hurry, the girl found that the scene was already in chaos. The guards and the enemies who did not know when they boarded the airship were fighting, and the Servants had also joined the battlefield.
"What's going on?" Fujimaru Rika was stunned, and subconsciously looked outside around the airship.
There are also many fierce enemies, riding giant eagles, circling around the airship in dense numbers, constantly shooting crossbow arrows, or throwing explosives and the like, blasting the airship. The flames destroyed the hull.
But more people are dealing with the two-legged flying dragon. Although the latter is fierce, when fighting around the airship and these small-sized hostile units, it is constrained and unable to play at all.
—how is that possible?
—So brutal? Has been attacked on the airship all at once?
