Chapter 134: Dogs are going to die
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
In this world of magic and swords, anything bizarre can happen right in front of you, provided you have the ability to control the situation in your favor. In fact, it can be imagined that the prestige of the magic card master is not boasted by mouth, and this magic card is undoubtedly strong. Soon, Luo Zhengdao vaguely felt a subtle voice echoing in his ears, and said slowly:
"Ditch half of the ballast, raise the altitude of the voyage, and wait for the wind of Mana to strengthen."
Hearing this prompt, although Luo Zhengdao was still a little confused, he would not doubt the power of the magic card to deceive himself, he immediately grabbed the medicine according to the prescription, and shouted:
"Brando, tell the bilge to drop half of the ballast. Vena, tell someone to put away the sails and wait for my instructions. ”
The new world of multi-race and multi-culture, and the old world of ghosts, snakes, and gods swept away by the power of science and technology, many differences on the surface are superficial appearances, and the fundamental difference between the two worlds lies in the ether particle and the mana particle.
In the New World, as these two bizarre energy particles become active or passivated, almost endless magical phenomena are generated. The concentration of aether particles is so rich that interference can be observed with the naked eye, so the intelligent race calls it the Aether Sea, and the high density of aether particles has a certain neutralizing effect on the often overactive Mana particles, so near the sea level of the Aether Sea, the Mana particles, which are fast and fierce and the wind direction is fickle, will become slightly softer. If you break away from the safe zone of the Etheric Sea, whether you go high or dive into the deep sea, the winds of Mana and the denser aether particles have the same devastating effect as the severe tropical storms of the Old World that carried tens of billions of tons of seawater ashore.
The elusive deep currents that swell in the depths of the Aetheric Sea are essentially another manifestation of the interaction between the winds of Mana and the Aether particles, but the technology of the New World is not able to create submersibles like submarines for the time being, and the intelligent races know very little about the situation in the depths of the Aetheric Sea.
Still, the voyagers of the New World were in awe of the terrifying and destructive power of the winds of Mana hovering high in the sky. Although most of them didn't have the opportunity to experience it in person, just listening to the relays of the survivors of their predecessors were already terrified, needless to say, it was really a catastrophe that could be described as a soul!
At this time, there was a change in Luo Zhengdao's fleet, and the goblins who were chasing after him did not look at it, and the big goblin commander Modo Blackwater stared intently at the Avenger, and said to the adjutant:
"As soon as you get into range, shoot the rocket!"
"Yes, Your Excellency."
"Day-day-day-"
After internal coordination before the war, the goblin detachment under the command of Modo Blackwater was nothing more than a tonnage size at this time, and at the same time began to shoot goblin rockets, greeting the pirate ship in front of it with great enthusiasm, and in an instant, a shrill scream and a piercing sound of breaking the air were like a large pipe organ that had fallen into disrepair and out of tune.
In this race-like chase, whoever can paralyze his opponent is equal to half the victory, and the goblin commander looks at the flying rockets and secretly prays that he will have the luck to hit the Avenger's mast or sail.
The possibility of Modo Heishui's hope turning into reality is not very high, and when Luo Zhengdao designed the battleship, he considered that the big benefactor Yaling Empire was responsible for paying for it, and there was no need to bother to save financial expenses for Her Majesty, so he jointly transformed the Yangwei.
The five battleships of the privateer fleet were all covered with one-inch thick brass with their bottoms, and the sides were covered with half-inch thick white iron for fireproofing, which was a luxurious practice in the new world where metal resources were relatively scarce. Although the cost of covering the bottom and hull of the ship with metal is huge, the good effect in actual combat can also be seen, first, it can prevent the warship from being attacked by maggots and other moths in the water environment, and secondly, it is to prevent the deformation of the ship's board due to repeated wetting and drying in the environment of the etheric sea and coastal waters, and finally a series of troubles such as water leakage in the cabin.
The Avenger abandoned the ballast to increase the altitude of the voyage, and most of the Goblin rockets fired upwards collided with the copper skin on the bottom of the ship and the white iron on the side of the ship, leaving only a few scorch marks, not much of a threat.
Seeing that the goblin couldn't come up with anything unexpected to deal with him, Luo Zhengdao breathed a sigh of relief, and at this time, Brando Scarlet Yan glanced at the wind instrument fixed next to the steering wheel, and reminded:
"Lord Earl, the wind is strengthening."
Sure enough, just as the "Words of the Prophet" had reminded Luo Zhengdao before, the intensity of the Mana wind was quietly changing, and there was a tendency to continue to increase and evolve into a Mana storm.
A large Mana storm similar to the one that blew away the goblin fleet and pirate fleet besieging Wake Reef that day is not a common natural phenomenon in the Sea of Stars, and it is very lucky for a navigator to encounter it once in ten years on average, but it is not uncommon for a slightly less powerful Mana storm to occur. Because of this, even in the heyday of the First Goblin Empire, the Goblin Flying Force could only show off its might in the sky above the main 6, and dare to sail to soar over the Aetheric Sea, and only the dragon clan had the ability to fight for their lives. Without a sturdy body as indestructible as steel, any man-made flying machine encountering a Mana storm will undoubtedly announce that the day of death has come, and it is not a disaster that human beings can resist!
"Brando, control the sails, don't break the mast."
The "Words of the Prophet" provided key information, Luo Zhengdao still maintained a high degree of vigilance, a battleship without sails is like a tiger with its teeth extracted, the more critical the moment, the more tense the nerves to avoid mistakes, and a misstep will become a thousand years of hatred, this is not to scare children.
"Whirring ......"
The sound of the fierce wind outside no longer requires people to be distracted to observe the number of wind instruments, just listening to the mournful whistling sound with their ears, they can immediately judge how terrible the wind is, and people who are a few steps away will be completely covered by the sound of the wind when they speak, and everyone can only see each other's lips open and close but cannot hear what is being said.
"Lord Earl, the wind is too fast for our hull to stand it, and the foremast must be lowered."
For the unpredictable ability of the predecessor magic card master, Luo Zhengdao has always held a cautious attitude of admiration and caution, the magic card is the embodiment of the law, as a mortal, he does not have enough control ability to ensure that it will not harm himself, this is like asking a three-year-old bear child to pick up a sledgehammer, even if he is talented and can pick it up, the possibility of accidentally smashing himself to death is not low.
This magic card called "Prophet's Words", how the specific function of Luo Zhengdao has not yet been figured out, it is difficult to guarantee what moths will be made in use, and it may be a small problem for the genuine magic card master, and it will probably be able to make Luo Zhengdao, a little rookie, die more than a hundred times. The current situation also proves that his worries are not unfounded, and the risk of this way out pointed out by the "words of the prophet" seems to be no less than being pursued by the Invincible Armada. If you are a category, it is like being besieged by a group of killers on a 20-story building, and someone tells you to slide down the slightly angled glass façade of the building, if you are lucky enough, you can indeed get out of danger without damage, if you are unlucky, then you are sorry, and you will die a doubly ugly death.
Luo Zhengdao was already mentally prepared, and he no longer hesitated, and shouted with all his strength:
"Cut the foremast sail line and do it immediately!"
The two sailors who were close at hand did not dare to make a rash move when they heard the shout, the wind in their ears was too loud, and they were afraid that they had heard it wrong, so they turned their heads to look at Luo Zhengdao together, and saw him firmly use gestures to make a chopping action, and the two of them trembled and waved their short knives to cut off several cables that held the sails in place.
Suddenly lost the shackles of the sail rope, and the sail with a size of nearly 100 square meters was neatly torn off the only two remaining sail ropes under the agitation of the Mana wind, and quickly broke away from the rattling mast, and the "hula" sound was stirred into the air with the wind, and it disappeared after just a few ups and downs. Later, several other warships under Luo Zhengdao also concocted the same method when they saw this, and finally solved the crisis of the wind being too fast.
By this time, the other members of the Pirate Combined Fleet had already seen the success story of Luo Zhengdao's fleet in front, and Gao De Needham and the others were not fools, and soon understood the beauty of this trick, and lowered some of their sails to abandon the ballast and diverted to the high altitude.
Seeing that the human pirates had seized the opportunity, Modo Blackwater, who was already participating in the battle with the punishment behind his back, was red-eyed, and did not hesitate to fight the risk of being accidentally injured by his own firepower, and ordered a large number of goblin rockets to shoot wildly into the air. Even so, this desperate decision came too late, as a strong Mana storm swept swiftly to help the pirates out of the warring seas. Until the end of the war, the Goblin Fleet had only destroyed two pirate battleships, and the Armada had paid dozens of times the cost of casualties to its opponents. The fact that the main force of the goblin fleet was undamaged and ran away without saying that it was a huge price to watch the pirates fly away was a great blow to morale.
The gnitted goblin commanders arrived at this meeting, how depressed they were, they could actually meet the opponent's hanging up, they were all about to be so depressed that they vomited blood from collective internal injuries, can everyone play happily together in the future?
"Pursuit! Must be pursued! ”
Regardless of the question, it is clear that the Invincible Armada will not be able to explain to the Emperor and the Senate when they return to Hong Kong in such a gloomy manner, let alone how to deal with the military bosses who have high hopes for them. What's more, for the martial and warlike Second Goblin Empire, a trivial victory is not only worthy of boasting, but even more shameful than defeat. In this case, it is not surprising that the fleet commanders came out of the mountains to cry out for battle like a tsunami, and the very few dissenters were helpless to see this scene, and no matter how many reasons they had, they had to swallow it back into their stomachs. This is an objection at the moment.,That's definitely an inopportune brain-dead move.,Pure cards are looking for their own draws!
