Chapter 187: Battle of the Star Gate XIV
"Ed? Ed? ”
Fang Ou felt someone shake him in a daze, and when he turned around, he found that Attila was looking at him with a worried expression. The icy rain was sliding down his forehead and cheeks, making Fang Yu suddenly come back to his senses, and the pictures of the surrounding detachments returned to reality one by one.
What's wrong with you?
The sound of gunfire, the rising gunsmoke, and every splash of water stirred up by the swirling projectiles were all reflected in Fang Yuan's field of vision.
The cold rain was converging down the canvas into a stream, and the cannonballs struck a shadow man's windboat with a golden arc, and the sparks that exploded lit up everyone's faces, and the flying planks were not like wood, but like some kind of pale rotten bone.
The huge thorns on the Shadow Man's windboat cut through the flames and rushed out of the smoke, and the Plover could already clearly see the flame-like monsters jumping on the deck, only two or three.
On one side of them, the side of the ship was filled with structures holding magic guns, like juxtaposed skeletons, their metal shells reflecting a dull sheen.
Those things raised their guns, and Fang Yuan couldn't help but be slightly startled—wasn't that the dragon hunter—the skeleton's entire face was a huge eye, flashing with a dark red light.
But if you look closely, it doesn't look like it, as if it is a simplified product, there is no pointed hat and helmet, and there is no magic furnace and long knife, which makes it even thinner.
An emerald green flame flew over them, exploded above their heads, and struck the Jeffrey Redcoats' sailboat, sending a bright light up on the starboard side, and debris and parts of the sailboat falling along with the Flame Mars.
Looking at the scattered objects that were slowly falling, Fang Yu gradually regained his ability to think, and he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, thinking that something was wrong with him-
The war is currently distracted?
This wasn't the first time, the last time was in front of the plaza of the Star and Moon Council, and he thought it was because of teleportation.
But just now, I felt the same feeling of being detached from reality, the sound and the picture were isolated from a membrane, as if watching the world from an atomized glass cocoon.
He was still on the boat, but he was already in another world, as if he had fallen into an endless darkness, and he seemed to hear a voice calling to him, but the strange feeling was fleeting.
Are you too tired?
Or an illusion.
It's a pity that Miss Tata is controlling the Seven Seas Traveler and may not have noticed the previous anomaly. Nini still looked so ignorant, kneeling on his shoulder, a pair of small hands grasping the folds of his clothes, and drenching him in the rain.
However, before the raindrops could get close to the little girl, they were vaporized into mist by her long flaming hair, and strangely, the high temperature did not feel anything for Fang Yuan.
"I'm fine." Fang Yu shook his head, and replied softly in the face of Miss Elf's questioning gaze.
"Don't push yourself too hard," Attila said softly, "You haven't had a good rest since Greytree Ridge. ”
In fact, since they were caught up in the maelstrom of the North, a few of them had rested.
Baggins, along with the men assigned to their ships, raised their spears against the side of the ship, holding them in one hand and pulling the trigger with their gloved right hand.
In the distance, there were dots of green light, and the skeletons standing on the Shadow Man's windboat opened fire first, more than five hundred paces, and the other party's range was much farther than theirs.
But Flagg walked up, and the archmage returned to the fleet after repelling Basalt, and the Warlocks of the Star and Moon Council were now assigned to each ship to take charge of the defense.
In fact, Xing was also on a certain boat, but the other party did not come to the Seven Seas Traveler, Fang Yu even saw Yinshi in the communication, and the dragon knight smiled at him and said:
"It turns out that you are also a dragon knight, and the bet I made with you before that is not ashamed."
But these words are just self-comforting, and anyone with a discerning eye can see the difference in strength between the two.
The old sorcerer glanced into the distance, raised his gray eyebrows, raised the staff in his hand, and lowered it to the deck, the crystal on the head of the staff lit up slightly, and an invisible gray net spread out in all directions around it.
The gray net blocked the skeleton's shot, and the opponent's projectile hit the gray net and exploded into scattered green flames, floating away like ghostly flames.
The distance between the two ships is still close -
"Shoot—"
At this moment, Sylvid's calm voice passed through the rain curtain.
Baggins and the Gunners pulled the trigger.
The magic gushed out of the furnace through the ether guide path into the glove of the magic guide, connected to the trigger, and the hammer slashed a long spark into the groove, injecting it into the firing array with precision.
There was a deafening roar in almost no particular order, and white smoke rose as if it had pierced through the rain.
Fang Ou almost saw a white line sweeping towards the Shadow Man's windboat - sparks exploded on the chests of the skeletons lined up on the side of the boat, but the structures didn't look fragile, only two or three had fallen.
"Change the bullets."
Sylvid bites the bullet with her silver fangs, pulls the bolt, exits the depleted crystal, and reloads the bullet.
There was another gunshot, and this time the gunfire passed through the rain curtain, allowing Fang Yu to hear a crisp sound. But the green light still flickered only on the gray net, and only one or two of them slipped through the net, hitting the mast or the barrel on the deck, and the sawdust flew everywhere.
Sylvide raised her right hand, her snow-white wrist standing out in the rain.
"Second round of shooting."
Once again, everyone raised their guns.
At this time, Fang Yuan's fleet had completely penetrated the clouds, like a golden blade, straight into the right flank of the Shadow Man fleet.
Sylvid's judgment was very accurate, and the fleet of the Shadowmen, who had just escaped from the teleportation state, was unable to coordinate and maneuver effectively, which gave them a perfect opportunity-
The vast majority of this fleet, which consisted mainly of the Jeffrey Reds, was made up of fast galleons, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was a hunting fleet, and among the deep blue spinnakers like shark fins, the silver sails of the Seven Seas Traveler were only like a touch of different color, which was particularly eye-catching.
“…… That Miss Gunsmith is so handsome. ”
"You're stupid, she's the deputy commander of the fleet, and she also has half the credit for this battle plan."
"By the way, the one next to her is the Dragon Alchemist, right?"
"Yes, that's their ship."
"Ah, I'm dying of envy, I just saw Miss Gunshi holding hands with him, that's Sir Ma Wei's daughter, the two are a couple, right?"
"Can the Elect be with the Aborigines?"
“…… There are no rules, but Captain Ed is brave, do you remember the scene in front of the Tower of Stars and Moon? That's the so-called hero, think about it like a good match. ”
"To be honest, Captain Ed is a little cute, isn't he, he's still a little small."
The number of people above the community is gradually increasing.
Everyone wanted to know what was going on in Division 3, and even some reporters who didn't know anything about Super Athletics poured into the community at this moment.
They bring more attention to the eye.
Su Changfeng looked at the data that kept breaking upward, generally speaking, only when the triennial Super League was held, he could occasionally see such an amazing scene.
The eyes of the entire third division are focused on this moment-
But everyone on Earth, or far away, who knows or doesn't know about this battle, is just watching, watching the great battle unfold over the North.
Many of them may never understand what this war meant to everyone who lived there, from Kapka to Rodale, from Elpahim to Gulla.
The distance between the two fleets will no longer exceed one hundred and fifty meters—
At this distance, Fang Yuan could clearly see every detail of the pitch-black floating ships, the hull was covered with a layer of scales, like the minions of a giant dragon, biting at each other, and decorated with pale keels, like giant ships that had risen from the netherworld.
At this distance, the guns on both sides let out a final roar.
The Jeffrey Redcoats' windbreakers spewed golden flames, while from the shadowmen's dark floating ships shot green glows, and the staggered fireworks reflected each other's different brilliance, passing through the airspace above the clouds, lighting up the sea of clouds, only to be blocked by the light of their suddenly lit shields.
Both sides had a tacit understanding of leaving the shield's energy at the last moment, and the commanders of both fleets were clearly experienced.
Ships burning with flames approached each other in mid-air, and the battle of the board was spectacular above the empty sea, with the guns shooting at each other, sawdust flying, people falling from time to time, and the voices of heralds calling for priests and healers.
"Prepare to launch an air combat configuration."
"The air combat deck is ready—"
With Miss Tata's calm reply, the Seven Seas Traveler opened the air battle hatch, and the light that filtered through the darkness shone on the lancers there.
The two sides had come close to no more than fifty paces.
Fang Yu looked down at his pocket watch.
But at that moment, hooks suddenly flew down from the diagonal top and came into his field of vision—Fang Yu subconsciously raised his head, and above the thick smoke of Geiffett's windboat above his head, a series of figures were jumping out.
He recognized the other party's robes—
Jeffreyt's musketeers.
The Jeffrey Reds' academy, the same brigade he played not so long ago.
Fate is sometimes so wonderful that Fang Yu doesn't have time to sigh, and he is not in the mood to sigh, because the cold rain is making everyone extremely sober and calm.
The broadside battle is unfolding.
……
Six Shadows was throwing a coil of rope at his partner, shouting, "Then, Kaka! ”
The ship had been badly unbalanced by the previous bombardment, the deck was slightly tilted to one side, and everything that was not fixed was rolling down in that direction.
On the side of the sloping deck, one wing of the Shadow Man Floater was revealing below, and from the microphone came the hoarse but calm voice of the captain:
"This is the best time to send you here."
"Good luck to everyone."
Kaka took the long rope, put on the hook claw neatly, and then put it on the crossbow machine, and sighed a long sigh: "I didn't expect that I didn't escape this catastrophe, why did I be incorporated into the Marine Corps with you, the boss of the lonely boat is not a person, I obviously did him a big favor." ”
"Are you aggrieved to act with us?" Bai Ju asked coldly as he also loaded the hook claws for the other crossbow machine.
"That's not true," Kaka waved his hand, "I don't care about other cats and dogs, anyway, you are full of muscles in this place, but you know, I am afraid of hardship, tiredness, and death." ”
"You guy!"
The white horse tried to grab this guy by the collar on the spot, but fortunately the others held him down.
"Think twice, boss, it's not worth seeing this guy in general, besides, if you really fight, most of you will be locked up together afterwards, and then we are afraid that you will be half angry with this guy."
The team members shouted in unison.
Kaka was taken aback by these people, and subconsciously took a step back, but the deck was tilted to the side, and he happened to step on the slippery cable, but one fell back, and suddenly lost his center of gravity, and an upside-down onion actually fell out of the side of the ship.
"Kaka!"
Six Shadows jumped up in surprise and hurriedly rushed in that direction.
And here the white horse passed through the gap, and also shot to the side of the ship for the first time, and fished it with his hands, but it was still a step too late and caught an empty one.
However, the two of them were lying on the side of the boat, but they saw Kaka fall into the sea of clouds, and quickly turned on the glider, turned around and flew towards the floating ship of the shadow man not far away.
Seeing that the height was not enough, the opponent shot a flying claw in mid-air, slamming the mast of the Shadow Man Floating Ship (thorns), and then swung in that direction.
"Shoot the hook!" Bai Ju looked at the place where Kaka landed, and the dense structure on the other deck, turned around and roared: "What are you still doing in a daze, ready to jump into the gang and go and save that guy for me!" ”
Everyone was stunned and hurriedly rushed to their respective crossbows, and then slammed into the Shadowman's floating ship and launched a zipline.
And that's exactly what Fang Yu saw—
There was also an uproar in the live broadcast room:
"Damn, that alchemist went first, and he was too brave, isn't he, which guild?"
"The men of the Jeffrey Redcoats, who seem to be members of Jeffreyt's Musketeers......"
"I've heard of Geofflet's brigade of musketeers, but do they have such an alchemist?"
"The alchemist is the first, the supreme?"
"Holy—"
Then the people shouted in unison.
"He's the Construct Lord......"
"And what did he go down for?"
In fact, as soon as Kakafu fell, he realized that something was wrong, and before he could fall to the deck, he quickly threw something at the landing point. As soon as it landed on the deck, it bounced upwards like a dead leaf-like structure.
Kaka's right hand pointed in that direction, and the magic glove lit up slightly, and he shouted:
"Anti-gravity!"
An invisible force rose from the deck and lifted him upward, just in time to swoop the skeleton structure that was coming at him in all directions.
However, a spark also flashed from the dead leaf-like structure, which burned due to overload, and Kaka fell down again, and he hurriedly stretched out his left hand in the other direction, firing the hook claw again.
The hook claw struck the stern of the Shadowman Floater, dragging him over the heads of the skeleton structures and flying in that direction.
Fang Yu watched this scene from a distance, a light flashed in his eyes, and he recognized the other party at once: "It's that guy." ”
After so many hands, if he can't tell the other party's style of controlling the construct, then R can be regarded as teaching him in vain in the virtual space. However, to Fang Yu's faint surprise, the other party's style was slightly different from the first time they met.
Or rather, the other person seems to be learning their own style?
The claws were used decently, but unfortunately there was still a little bit of something. If he were to throw the claws, he would not only think about dodging, but also looking for opportunities to counterattack.
He would even try to walk out of the boat.
As he flew around the deck, and in the end it was nothing more than within the attack range of those constructs, and he had already seen several skeletons raise their magic bolts in Kaka's direction.
But when you get to the bottom of the floating ship, it is the blind spot of the opponent's attack, and there are also means of entering the ship on the lower deck.
Fang Yu thought as he unbuttoned the cloak again, then handed it to Miss Attila beside him, and at the same time put on the control gloves and adjusted it.
"You want to go over?" Miss Elf asked unexpectedly.
Fang Yu looked at Kaka jumping up and down, and nodded slightly, but he didn't just want to save people in the past, but he had already considered it.
His construct was lost in Gullah, and although Xing gave him some Nightmare Furnace, he was not able to control those things skillfully for a while, and it was difficult for him to exert any strength in long-range combat.
The lancers on the Seven Seas Traveler have their own Miss Tata to command and control, and they don't need his help, so he takes two dragon hunters with him, and he might as well go to the Shadowman's windboat to fight like everyone else-
He is neither a commander nor does he need to remotely control the construct, and only in this way can he use it to his fullest potential.
Of course, there are some risks.
But in the midst of this battle, who didn't take the risk, how could they hide behind everyone's back forever?
What's more, he is not faintly surging with blood in his heart, wanting to go to the front line like a real soldier.
"Miss Attila," Fang Ou whispered, "You will take care of the specific affairs on the Seven Seas Traveler. ”
Miss Elf glanced at him, but didn't stop her, just nodded.
It's just that Tang Xin on the side happened to finish the bandaging work of a wounded person, walked over in the rain, wiped the rain that slipped on his forehead with his hand, heard the conversation between the two, and subconsciously said:
"Brother, I'll go with you."
Fang Yu turned his head and looked at the staff held by his cousin, which was different from the delicate and weak image in the eyes of outsiders, he knew that his cousin was actually much more reliable than he imagined:
"Are you sure?"
They do need a healer as well.
Tang Xin nodded.
"Okay, you go with me," Fang Yu nodded immediately, and looked to the side again: "Luo Hao, you also go with us." ”
Luo Hao dropped the cable in his hand and did not answer, but took off the big shield from behind him, tied it to his hand, and pulled out the long sword.
Then he bowed his head slightly.
……
