Chapter 1290: Exploring the Wilderness (5)

"Enemy attack!!!" shouted one of the tiger ** who was leading the guard, "All the non-combatants go back to the cabin and take refuge!!The combatants follow me to set up their formation!!The gunnery room is immediately loaded with ammunition and ready to meet the enemy's sand boats!!" "Damn, this kind of shit happened just out of Cairo!" Mutra took Albert's hand and said, "Come with me!" "No," Albert pulled the blade of his gun out of his waist, "I'll join in the fun, too. It must be a good warm-up." "Are you crazy?!" Mutter tried to force Alberta into the hold.

"Shut up!" Albert put his finger to Mutter's kitten nose, "Don't---me!" The cat boy remembered what Philios had just said, and suddenly flinched like a deflated ball: "Okay, you can do whatever you like, it's better to fight to the death, anyway, I don't care!" After speaking, Mutter ran into the cabin with the rest of the team.

The sand ship was custom-built by Daddy Sphinx, and the middle level of the ship has a powerful barrier generator that protects the crew from cannon fire as long as they hide in the cabin. On both sides of the ship were a total of twelve powerful photon batteries, which were specially designed to drive out a single enemy encountered in the desert. The turrets protrude from the side of the ship, and when they are fully charged, they can fire shells at any time to meet the enemy.

But Albert looked around, in the vast sea of sand, but there was no trace of other sand boats?

"Where are you hiding?" Albert asked curiously.

The flotilla guard who took the lead glanced at Albert. In fact, the tiger youth is wearing an American football jersey and protective gear, and at a glance he knows that the tiger is going to play. The captain of the guard couldn't help frowning: "What are you doing here? Why don't you take refuge in the cabin?!" "You don't have to worry about my business. Albert flicked the blade of his spear with his fingers, and the weapon made a crisp "pop". The Tempest Blade itself was a well-made weapon, a weapon that many warriors could dream of, and anyone who saw this extremely powerful blade could tell that Albert must be extraordinary—at least that's what Tiger thought.

The captain of the guard shrugged his shoulders, didn't ask anything more, and returned to his senses to direct his team: "Hasta, Muller, Cottel, you are in charge of the port side! Matthes, Carolense, Buffett, you are in charge of the starboard side! The boat made a sharp turn and avoided most of them. But there are still three glowing grenades that target the bow, the center of the deck, and the sail!

"Tsk!" the captain of the guard rushed over to the bow of the ship, swinging his sword and flicking off one of the projectiles. He had to protect the bow of the ship with a very important navigational device, but the other two grenades had already fallen separately, and even if the captain turned back, it would be too late to deal with them!

"Leave it to me!" Albert grabbed the mast with one hand and leaped lightly onto the sun sails of the sand boat. The solar sail is the most important source of power for this sand ship, and it can't be destroyed!

The tiger struck a sword with a light backhand against the incoming light bullets, and the blade of his storm spear slashed safely at the light bullets, deflecting the deadly cannonball! If it did land on the shattered sails of the sun, the consequences would be unimaginable!

However, the matter was far from over, and there was still a light bullet left in the air, which was falling straight to the middle of the deck! It was not coming quickly, and the guards on both sides of the ship had no time to answer it, and neither the captain of the guard at the bow nor the Albert on the sail could catch up!

Someone rushed out of the cabin and slammed the bullet away.

"Mr. Feleos!" said Albert, jumping off the sail with a delighted expression.

"Luckily, I have a weapon with me. The leopard man put away the photon dagger in his hand: "I'll help too." "But where did those light bombs come from?" Albert looked around, still unable to see the pirates' sand ships.

"Either they attack us with anti-aircraft guns from a great distance, or their sand boats have a concealment device, which completely hides the trail in optical camouflage. In short, it seems that the pirates this time are not idle. Feleos said indifferently.

Albert narrowed his cat eyes again. In the vast sea of sand, the surrounding horizon is flat and vast, but nothing can be seen. If the enemy was attacking the sand boats with anti-aircraft guns, they would need to fire at least a dozen kilometers away. No matter how good their artillery system is at aiming, it is still very difficult to accurately land a cannonball on a moving sand boat from such a distance! Therefore, the possibility of long-range shooting can almost be ruled out.

Then the rest may be that the opposing ship uses optical camouflage!

And Albert is not stupid, he knows very well that no matter how good the optical camouflage is, as long as the ship is constantly moving, it will definitely show flaws. And the higher the speed, the bigger the flaw should be!

"Speed up the sand boat to the limit!" Albert shouted.

"What?!" the captain of the guard immediately objected: "Our solar sails are already broken, and if we add load to the ship's engines like this—" "It's a small matter if the engine burns out, and at most we can continue to move on with repairs." If the sails are destroyed, we're in real trouble. Albert said unemotionally: "Stagnating here will only be a live target for the pirates to continue shelling." Only by accelerating forward can we break the deadlock. "But it's crazy! If the engine is too noisy, it will even attract a large number of desert sharks-" Listen to him. But the voice of the Sphinx father came from the cabin: "Increase the speed of the ship to the limit." "Uh-huh!" Since it was the order given by the big boss, the captain of the guard had to obey it. He shouted into the walkie-talkie, "Engine room, you all hear me, do you!" Boom Boom Boom! In a frenzied tremble, the Sphinx's sand boat roared forward, raising a thousand feet of yellow sand from its stern, drawing a huge line of wind and sand in the desert at an incredible speed!

More artillery fire followed the sand boats, but they were obviously not as fast as the sand boats, and they were left far behind the boats and fell into the sea of sand, inducing violent explosions again and again!

Nevertheless, the sound of artillery behind the ship did not stop. A certain pirate ship is still chasing after the sand ships of the Sphinx, and it doesn't make sense to let them go!

"It's useless! Our sails have been partially damaged, and the output of the engines is definitely not as high as the other side!" said the captain of the guard, "If we continue like this, we will definitely be overtaken, and at that time our engines will be completely burned out, and there is no way to escape" "You don't need to worry about this at all." Albert sneered confidently. With the speed of their sand ship, it is indeed impossible to leave behind the opponent's pirate ship. But that wasn't Albert's plan from the start. The tiger has other plans.

That's right, I thought that the Sphinx's sand ship was fleeing rapidly, and the opponent's pirate ship had to catch up in a panic! They turned on the optical camouflage, thinking that this would be able to hide people's eyes, but the optical camouflage was flawed, and it had gradually failed in the high-speed voyage of the pirate ship, and it became unstable! In addition, the 10,000 feet of yellow sand raised by the Sphinx's sand ship continued to bombard like the sea, and the pirate ship's optical camouflage protective cover began to tear!

Albert watched with wide eyes and could already see the pirate ship that was supposed to be invisible from afar!

The tiger roared triumphantly, "It's there!Stop the ship's engines completely!Aim all the batteries in the direction of seven o'clock!!We're going to counterattack!!"Stop the ship urgently!!

At this time, the guards on the deck grabbed the edge of the ship one after another, lest they would be thrown away by the impact of the stopped ship! Albert did the opposite, rushing towards the stern of the ship, and using his own speed to offset the inertia of stopping the ship! When the sand boat came to a sudden brake and the bow of the ship fell downward and the stern of the ship tilted violently forward, the tiger man youth also happened to run to the stern! The overturned sand boat just became a springboard for the tiger, throwing Albert into the air!

"Uh-huh, that stupid guy" The captain of the guard had just taken a breath, and seeing that the pirate ship that was following him had no time to pay attention to Albert who had flown away, he had to give a loud order: "All guns fire!!" Twelve cannons fired at the same time, bombarding the pirate ship fiercely. Albert leaped just in time to meet the pursuing pirate ship, landed firmly on the deck of the ship, and glided less than five yards on the wooden floor! The pirates on board were surprised when they saw someone intruding, and they wanted to draw their weapons to meet them. But they didn't have time to make a move, and a dozen or so bullets landed on the pirate ship, blasting the pirates on deck!

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, how can this be like this!" Albert dodged jokingly, as if he had a back eye, and dodged the cannonballs fired behind him without even looking back. However, in fact, it was not because of how powerful the tiger was, but because he had memorized the position and aiming angle of each gun on the sand boat before jumping out of the sphinx's sand boat, and he knew where the shells would come from!

Expecting to be able to sneak up on the sand ship with optical camouflage, the pirates were caught off guard by Albert's witty counterattack. By the time they crawled out of the rubble, the tiger had already stepped forward with his sword raised, taking out nearly ten unsuspecting pirates!

"Come on!" the tiger grinned, and made a defiant gesture to the remaining fifty or so pirates on the deck: "Lao Tzu is bored and panicked!
