Chapter 240: Nightmare (Part I)
When the million-strong fleet of the Tianluo Holy Kingdom was still using fearless sacrifice tactics to remove the ice mines on the bottom of the sea, the vast majority of people did not notice that a faint layer of fog had quietly shrouded this sea area.
By the time someone found out that something was wrong, the thirteen sail battleships controlled by Mei Xue had already disappeared into this hazy mist.
"Master Xuanyuan, something is wrong." The representative of the navy's disciples among the candidates of the Blue Dragon Academy, a monk named Gongsun Chuan, came to Xuanyuan Jianying's side again, and said with a worried expression:
"This fog is not good for us."
"Why? We can't see the enemy, and the enemy can't see us. "It's true that Xuanyuan Jianying is not very proficient in naval warfare, but he can't see the danger in the natural phenomenon of fog.
"The general situation is like this, but ......" Gongsun Chuan stopped when he wanted to speak.
"Don't worry, just say it." Xuanyuan Jianying is not the kind of person who eats the ancients, let alone a fool who insists on going his own way, judging from Gongsun Chuan's expression, is there really a mystery in these hazy fogs.
"Then IMHO, our navy generally won't go to sea to fight in foggy weather, because even the latest rune warships can't disperse such a large area of fog."
"And rune warships with weapons of mass destruction can easily injure their own fleet by mistake in the fog, so it is not a last resort, our navy will definitely not fight in the fog."
"Now we have an army of a million fleets, we just need to move steadily and concentrate our forces. Encircle on two sides, encircle and suppress on three sides, and crush the enemy with a dignified battle formation."
"After all, the latent weapons like ice mines cannot determine the outcome of this naval battle, so my suggestion is that from now on the fleet start to slow down, follow the road opened in front and go straight to the Yellow Dragon, and do not give the enemy any chance to turn the tables." As the most experienced talent in naval warfare in the Blue Dragon Academy this naval battle, Gongsun Chuan's tactics are reasonable and well-founded, and they sound seamless, and even Xuanyuan Jianying can't find anything wrong.
Thus, this suggestion was conveyed truthfully. 、
The army of a million fleets began to change from a scattered fish scale array to a highly concentrated long snake array, looking from the sky, it looked like a giant snake meandering forward, half of which had entered the hazy mist, while the other half remained outside the mist.
"The Long Snake Formation, it's really a textbook-like way to deal with it." Through Taichu's vision, Mei Xue saw the other party's strategic arrangement clearly, and couldn't help but shrug her shoulders.
When dealing with complex weather, it is correct to change the fleet formation from scattered to dense.
But this does not apply to war, or rather—not to the face of Meixue.
Because, Mei Xue, who is named "Mo", is named the "King of Nightmares", and it is a terrifying legend that controls the legendary fleet in the mist and is invincible across the seas.
If there is any impression that the sea forces that have fought against "Mo" and survived by luck have the greatest impression of the mysterious fleet commanded by "Mo", it must be "Mist".
The fleet of "Mo" has defeated countless opponents, and even the million-strong scorpion pirate group has been completely wiped out, but no one can really say how many warships there are in the fleet of "Mo", and how many legendary-class warships there are, precisely for this reason.
Mist, this is one of the biggest weapons of "Mo's" fleet, that seemingly inconspicuous fog, but it is the enemy's biggest nightmare, Mei Xue's favorite environment.
When fighting side by side with Shenhuang, Yang Yan, Eight-Foot Mirror, and Bai, it was the younger sister of "Mo", the most mysterious of the four legendary warships, who was responsible for creating these weapons.
In many naval battles, the figures of the Divine Phoenix, Yang Yan, and the Eight-Foot Mirror have been occasionally captured, but only the existence of "White" is not known to anyone.
Because "Bai" is a deep-sea battleship, it is a mysterious battleship that Mei Xue knows the least about the deep magic eye that gazes into the seas, mountains, and worlds in the abyss.
Of the four Legendary-class warships, Bai rarely fights head-on, and she is responsible for the icy mist that never seems to disappear, and the magic eye that observes the ocean from the deep sea at the same time as Mei Xue.
Now, Mei Xue's side does not have any of the Divine Phoenix, Yang Yan, Eight-Foot Mirror, or Bai, but the existence of the primordial can replace Bai's observation ability, and he naturally has the ability to create fog after completing the transformation of Sen Luo—of course, it is far from being comparable to Bai.
In any war, time, location, and people are all indispensable factors, and Meixue, who occupies these three at the same time, has completed all its strategic layout.
Now, it's time to really fight and bring out all his strength.
Because, he promised the god of mercury to bring victory to her.
When the million-strong fleet of the Tianluo Holy Kingdom began to assemble, a glimmer of light flashed in Mei Xue's silver eyes, and the temperature around her instantly dropped by more than ten degrees.
"Quicken, go!"
One after another, the divine thoughts were connected to the thirteen warships through the golden threads extended by the golden worms, and then the thirteen ancient sail warships began to be completely reborn, infused with spiritual power that did not belong to their era at all.
In the spiritual power vein constructed by Mei Xue herself, a huge amount of power was rushing and boiling, allowing these thirteen ancient sail warships to instantly gain a new light of life.
Then the thirteen ancient sail battleships began to run
Yes, it is to run, not to be blown by the wind, nor to rely on the power of the immortal stone to accelerate, but like a living creature, from the edge of the ship poking out thin golden lines to constantly touch the bottom of the sea, like a multi-legged insect running on the surface of the sea.
This is a miraculous operation that only Meixue can complete, and a miracle that can be done by a multi-line operation with a thought of three thousand.
Only Mei Xue in the state of Sen Luo's transformation can support such a huge consumption of divine thoughts and complete this incredible terrifying acceleration.
At this moment, the speed of the thirteen sail warships had reached a level unimaginable to ordinary people, not only far surpassing all the sail warships, but even the rune warships assembled by the candidates of the Blue Dragon Academy were beyond reach.
However, this is not the limit.
After charging at a terrifying speed to a distance of only a few thousand meters away from the million-strong fleet of the Tianluo Holy Kingdom, Mei Xue calmly separated several wisps of divine thoughts into the four main lines of the golden worms, and then in the seawater, the four golden thin lines quickly crossed the barrier of just a few thousand meters and connected to the four warships of the Tianluo Holy Kingdom.
Pull! Mei Xue's fingers moved lightly, and she issued an order for the liberation power of these four gold wires with extremely strong telescopic force.
"Gah!" Before the four sail battleships of the Tianluo Holy Kingdom could figure out what was going on, the entire hull let out a strange pulling sound, and then the huge body began to involuntarily rush forward for a distance of dozens of meters.
At this time, the sharp-eyed soldiers could already see the thirteen Mercury Islands battleships rushing at high speed, and even the sharp corners of the battleships could be seen clearly.
"What's that!"
"It's the enemy, the enemy attack! Enemy seat! ”
The soldiers standing on the lookout hurriedly raised the alarm of 100,000 fire, but it was already too late.
"Four." Mei Xue calmly said this number.
At the same time, the thirteen strengthened Mercury Islands battleships had smashed the four unlucky battleships like bamboos, and they were unstoppable into the million-dollar fleet of the Tianluo Holy Kingdom, and then like a sharp blade, they cut off the first section of the Tianluo Holy Kingdom's long snake array cleanly.
After completing the first blow, Mei Xue did not continue to expand the victory, but walked away, and then made a turn outside the enemy's field of vision, and rushed towards the seventh section of the enemy's long snake formation.
With the same positioning of the four golden lines and the same high-speed sprint, Mei Xue did not give these enemies of the Sail Era any chance to fight back, that is, with the most unreasonable and brutal thunder strike method, she killed seven in and seven out of this million fleet in a row, and completely crushed the first section of the Long Snake Formation.
This process, without even using the magic of the mercury priests, completely relied on Mei Xue's accurate calculations, and the perfect positioning of the golden worm cut through the bloated long snake array of the Tianluo Holy Kingdom like a scalpel.
"Enemy, where is the enemy!"
"Can anyone tell me from which direction the enemy is coming!"
"Monsters, monsters! That's a monster! ”
The defeated Tianluo Saint Nation fleet was in a mess, and in this hazy mist, they didn't know where the enemy in the Dao came from, why they had such an uncanny speed, and they didn't even know what was going on in the Dao.
And this is what Mei Xue is best at, and it is also his tactical style.
The reason why the "Mo" fleet is called the nightmare of the seas is precisely because of this sense of panic that comes and goes without wind, and sometimes even the shadow is completely extinguished.
"Whew." After seven consecutive high-speed penetrations, Mei Xue exhaled softly.
Now, he can be sure that the fleet under his control still has the deterrent and lethal power of the past.
Although he didn't have four Legendary-class ships, he still kept in the middle of the Sen Luo transformation and made up the most important part of himself—the elusive speed and the destructive power of the thunderous strike.
Coupled with the primordial eyes of the sky, even if there are only thirteen battleships of the Sail Age in his hands, he is still the invincible "ink" in the past.
So, what are you waiting for, start again!
"Huh!" Under Mei Xue's control, four more warships of the Tianluo Holy Kingdom were selected as Dao Markers, and then the Blade of the Seas composed of thirteen warships smashed into the million-strong army of the Tianluo Holy Kingdom, chopping the bulky fleet like cutting fruit.
"Calm down, calm down! Spread out first, don't gather together again. Seeing that the long snake formation he had finally put out was cut to pieces like fruit by the mysterious fleet on the opposite side, Gongsun Chuan's eyes were red.
What an opponent this is! This is a battleship in the Age of Sails, even if it is a rune battleship in the Age of the Seas and Mountains, there are only a handful of them that can achieve this kind of ultra-high mobility and lethality, and they are basically fairy-class battleships controlled by immortal warlocks!
For what, in this era of sail warships, there will be such a monster-level opponent, and the ice spirit mine just now is also, this is not a thing of this era at all!
"It's useless, these battleships, they're too fast." Even if he was not proficient in naval warfare, Xuanyuan Jianying saw the opponent's greatest advantage, which could even be said to be an overwhelming advantage.
The million-strong fleet of the Tianluo Holy Kingdom is indeed overwhelming in quantity, and in terms of quality, it has reached the pinnacle of the era of sail warships.
However, the so-called martial arts in the world are only fast and unbreakable, and under the speed of the other party surpassing the sail battleship by ten or twenty times, as well as the resulting impact, this million fleet is simply being played around.
Just like the result of the battle between the rune battleship and the sail battleship of the Mercury Islands a few days ago, this is not a contest of the times.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "Under the angry command of Gongsun Chuan, the fleet group of the Tianluo Holy Country, which had only recently listed the Long Snake Formation, scattered like frightened rabbits, but this time there was no formation at all, it was completely scattered.
At this time, the Tianluo Saint Kingdom battleships destroyed by Mei Xue's high-speed blade combat method had already exceeded one-tenth of the Tianluo Saint Kingdom fleet group, especially those light warships that were in the vanguard, and they were almost completely wiped out.
Among the tenths of the victims, there was also an unlucky rune battleship, and the candidates on it had planned to be the first to grab the battle merits, but the result could be described as the death of the ambition before it was rewarded.
"Form a ring formation, block the opponent's movement route, and stop them at all costs!" Gongsun Chuan can see that if the other party is allowed to cut at such a super high speed, even if the Tianluo Holy Kingdom has an army of one million, it is only a matter of time before it is annihilated.
Where did these warships come from, Gongsun Chuan never believed that these were warships that could be made by the natives of the Mercury Islands, and this kind of ultra-high maneuverability and explosive power did not belong to this era of sail naval warfare at all.
According to Gongsun Chuan's order, the fleet of the Tianluo Holy Kingdom began to spread slowly, forming a huge ring, and behind the ring was the logistics fleet that had not yet had time to adjust, looking like a small tadpole from the sky.
"Found it." Mei Xue, who saw the change in the formation of the Tianluo Holy Kingdom through Taichu's vision, moved her fingers lightly and connected the four warships again.
However, this time, the four battleships he locked with the golden thread were all rune warships from the era of the seas and mountains.
"Start, pray." Through the connection with the long black hair of the mercury priest girls, Mei Xue gave a second order.
With the first brilliant victory, the priest girls who believed in the god of mercury no longer had any doubts about Mei Xue's orders, and everyone began to pray together under Mei Xue's divine thoughts.
"The Great God of Mercury ......"
"The Great God of Mercury ......"
"The Great God of Mercury ......"
"The Great God of Mercury ......"
The girls' prayers echoed in the hazy mist, and Mei Xue grasped the four golden threads in her hand, which were the four lines connected to the four rune warships he had chosen.
"Give it to me, come here!"
The four tiny golden threads suddenly burst out with an incomparably powerful force, and they simply pulled the four rune warships located in the fleet of the Tianluo Holy Nation over together.
This method of warfare is one of Mei Xue's favorite techniques when she was "ink".
While manipulating the Divine Phoenix, Yang Yan, and the Eight-Foot Mirror, they attacked the enemy formation at high speed under the cover of the white mist, and then used the golden thread of the empty ball to pull the enemy's battleship in front of them in one breath and blast it, how cool and refreshing it was.
And to do that, all that is needed is one word – fast.
The opponent doesn't even have time to react, and the faster it takes to kill the enemy before they can counterattack, the shorter the time it takes from the shot to the end, the better.
And the rune battleship assembled by these candidates has Mei Xue's favorite spike feature - light.
Yes, there are two different directions for the construction of rune warships in the era of the seas and mountains compared to the sail warships of the past.
One is heavy, making the battleship bigger and bigger, and the firepower and armor are also getting stronger and stronger, which is the so-called big ship and giant artillery doctrine.
The other is light, making the battleship lighter and lighter, pursuing extreme speed and maneuverability.
Among the rune battleships that the candidates of this Qinglong exam have pieced together, almost all of them are "light" in the direction, after all, there are too many equipment and immortal stones needed for heavy battleships, and they are really not something that candidates can afford.
Among these candidates' rune battleships, only one has reached or even exceeded the "heavy" standard, and that is the ship of the demon fox clan's golden-haired jade-faced nine-tailed fox princess Qingqiu September, and the gorgeous rune battleship carrying the "Qingliuli".
The rest, all light rune warships.
"Ice beads, put them." Looking at the four rune warships that had been pulled over, Mei Xue sneered, and with a wave of her hand, she dropped a thousand ice mines again.
