The Crimson Queen's first attack was thwarted.

The twenty-four air combat structures they had put in were attacked from above their heads not long after they approached the target area. Beams of scorching red light rained down from the sky from beyond the blind spot, piercing through the torsos of most of the constructs before the battle craftsmen aboard the Crimson Queen had time to react.

Some of them didn't even have time to see the attacker's face before their vision went dark and they withdrew from the battlefield.

Kaka was one of the few people who saw what the construct that ambushed them looked like.

It was a kind of structure he had never seen before, holding a large shield and spear, covered in heavy armor, and the light of the cyan wind element behind him, which was incompatible with the light and flexible air combat structure in his impression, more like a heavy cavalry on the battlefield, towering iron towers.

The opponent does not fight with them, and the spear in his hand emits a red beam, and its attack is not very accurate, but they form a phalanx with each other, and when the density reaches a certain level, accuracy is not so important.

After the first round of strikes, only a few structures were scattered in mid-air, but those who remained were the ones who dodged the opponent's attack with their superior reflexes at the last moment.

At this time, Kaka heard a familiar voice coming, and he didn't need to look to know that it was the leader of the battle craftsman group of the three groups. The other party is a fairly experienced guild old man, and he used to be one of his mentors in the academy.

"Kaka, cover me—"

The man was in control of an alien hunter, and when he looked back, he found Kaka's old 'Hunter Type IV', which was hanging alone in mid-air, and had lost one of his arms, and almost fainted.

"Kaka ——!?"

Kaka was also a little embarrassed to be found out that he was 'fishing in troubled waters', scratched the back of his head, and without waiting for the other party to come to trouble, he hurriedly raised his right hand wearing control gloves and activated the wind elemental generator of the 'Hunter IV'.

A beam of cyan light streaked across the night sky, and Tata saw the old-fashioned construct coming in his direction from multiple perspectives. In the virtual space, she raised her left hand, and the lancers lined up in mid-air pointed their spears at Kaka's structure.

After a moment of warm-up, a little red light bloomed on the tip of the spear, and then turned into a rain of light.

Miss Fairy's emerald green eyes seemed to reflect the rain of light and the route of the other party under the light and rain, but what she saw was not even space, but lines of numbers and formulas, and outlined the route of the other party.

She pointed her hand at the crimson beam that blocked Kaka's path, and the old-fashioned 'Hunter IV' would have had no time reacting to such a dense attack. Soon, a scorching light quickly pierced through the construct's abdomen and swept through it, splitting it in two.

However, the 'Hunter IV', who had lost the lower half of his body, continued to push forward as best he could, struggling to maintain his balance.

Tata was watching this scene with some surprise.

One of the major challenges in putting the structure into use on Kukai was maintaining balance, especially in this situation, which was somewhat unexpected.

The tachyon spear is warming up, and the other party is getting closer and closer in this direction, and ordinary people will inevitably be in a bit of a hurry at this time - in addition to the 'Hunter Type IV', there are other structures that are also scattered and outflanked from all directions.

But calmness was the mission given to her by the dragon soul, and Tata only silently stared at the light trail that streaked across the night sky, anticipating the airspace that the other might reach, and calmly waiting for the next countdown when the spear was ready.

Three

Two

One.

Once again, a crimson glow bloomed on the tip of the spear.

Tata mentally counted the time that there would be one more attack before the other party arrived, and she expected that this one would take out the 'Hunter Type IV' closest to her. But an accident happened, and out of the six beams aimed at the 'Hunter IV', four were empty.

The construct performed a series of unbelievable maneuvers at the last moment, disengaging from the six light spears at an eerie angle, only two of which grazed its shoulders, one of which hit its left arm and sent it flying in mid-air like a spinning top.

But the next moment, the other party immediately changed out of such a posture in an almost impossible state.

Tata looked at the construct and was slightly taken aback - although it was said to be 'flying', it was actually ugly, it was better to hit it headlong - and she was a little unexpected, so to speak, it disrupted her original plan, so that she had to turn the lancers in other directions.

Three more red spears of light.

But Kaka dodged two more attacks, and it wasn't until the third Widespear arrived, which pierced through the chest of the Hunter IV, where its core crystal was located.

Seeing that his vision darkened, Kaka took off his goggles and wiped his forehead with the back of his hand, drenched in sweat. He let out a sigh of relief, and subconsciously looked back in the direction behind him, he tried his best to buy time, not knowing if anyone else would be able to seize this opportunity.

"How's it going?" Six Shadows asked.

Kaka shook his head.

He wasn't really optimistic about it.

The other party's operation gave him a peculiar feeling, that is, absolute calmness, he thought that he should achieve better results, but every change of the other party was very precise, as if he was not moved by it at all.

He had never faced such an opponent before, unlike every combat craftsman he had ever seen before.

Human beings are not purely rational creatures, they will always panic, they will always be unexpected, there will always be times when they are in a hurry, but some people can calm down quickly, but there will always be a process of transformation in between.

However, Kaka felt that he should have been surprised by the other party's expectations, as evidenced by the last few turning lancers. But even at that moment, the other party's actions were still uniform, and there was no mistake.

He didn't know if it was the other party's mentality that was too good, the adjustment was too fast, or something else.

But what really surprised him was that he was keenly aware that the dragon alchemist he had met before didn't seem to be the same person.

Although both of them are very strong, Fang Yuan gives him the feeling of agility and incredible control over the constructed body. The latter doesn't have that many fancy moves, and its control over the construct is very basic, but it's because of the foundation that it makes people more stressful.

Because the foundation is strong, it is accurate.

He had never seen such precision.

This is exactly why he is not optimistic about the others, if the other party maintains his usual calm, I am afraid that soon the third group will withdraw from the battle.

He looked in that direction, and a sigh of annoyance soon rang out in the hall.

Looking at those who had removed the goggles, Kaka couldn't help but wonder if he had used the Alien Hunter himself, would he have lasted longer? But there were no assumptions in this world, and he didn't regret not investing in the latest construct in the first place, because a voice told him that it was probably the same.

On the contrary, he also helped the guild save supplies.

In that respect, he's a model member of the Jeffrey Redcoats.

……

Tata didn't need to look at it to see how much he had lost control of his vision, and every disappearance represented the demise of a lancer.

The opponent's final counterattack caused them to lose a total of twelve lancers, and this battle loss ratio was actually acceptable, and the lancers existed as a consumable even on the Seven Seas Traveler.

The Lancers were designed to be like this from the beginning, they increased their survival rate by 'silly big and coarse black', but they were lackluster in terms of mobility and accuracy, and they could still exert some power before the enemy approached, but once they were approached, they were clumsy line infantry.

In the opponent's counterattack, the alien hunter made a deep impression on her, it alone caused nearly half of the losses of the lancers, and it should be the opponent's leader-level figure. In addition, what she was most impressed by should be the old 'Hunter Type IV'.

The latter is even more impressed than the former.

As she passed the footage, Fang Yu looked at it and came to the conclusion that the controller of the Alien Hunter was probably the captain of the Jeffrey Redcoat Craftsman team, and as for the old 'Hunter IV', it should be that person again.

He couldn't help but pay attention to the combat craftsman of the Jeffrey Redcoat team, judging from the experience of several encounters, the other party should not be an ordinary person, most likely a certain master of the Jeffrey Redcoat team. And judging from his fight with Miss Tata, it seems that the other party still has spare strength before.

This couldn't help but surprise him a little.

"Leave them alone for now."

Fang Yu turned off the picture, the first round of attacks on the Crimson Queen had failed, and the attacks from other directions were not worth mentioning, in fact, at the moment when he was talking to Miss Tata, the lancers of several other formations had already stopped nearly three rounds of attacks.

But compared to the aerial combat configuration released on the Crimson Queen, the next few waves of offensive are not worth mentioning at all. Not to mention that the structure of the 'Hunter V' itself is also a grade worse than that of the Hunter, and the craftsmen behind it are also uneven, and it is not comparable to the elite on the Crimson Queen.

However, the lancers still suffered a lot of losses, and the two or three in all directions were accumulated, and there were almost more than twenty units, which was equivalent to nearly a quarter of the spears they had in reserve under this round of offensive.

"The climbing height is two thousand nine hundred, the azimuth is 703417A, 633219B, and the cloud area is just ahead."

A sky-blue voice came from inside the microphone.

In fact, she didn't need to say it, as soon as Fang Yu, who was standing on the deck, looked up, he could see that the black clouds in the north were getting closer and closer, and the wind and snow were already cold rain at this altitude, wet and falling on everyone's faces—this was indeed the last part of the road, but it was not easy to walk through it.

Fang Yu silently stared at the silver sails that parted the clouds on several sides in that direction, like sharks showing their dorsal fins, which were the other party's hunting fleet—a mobile fleet of fast sailing ships with schooners in their sails, and his dark eyes reflected at least two fifth-class cruisers.

"That's the Fearless and the Fury, the ship of the Jeffrey Redcoats."

Luo Hao grabbed the cable and said to him, he was very valuable to the power of BBK, but he didn't expect it to be used at this time.

The other party sailed out from behind the clouds, and had already spotted them, and Captain Buck was putting down the telescope in his hand, raising his right hand, and giving the order: "Turn, with our speed, we have time to stop in front of them before the other party enters the cloud area." ”

The Intrepid slowly turned, revealing the silver side of the ship, the black hole's cannon doors opening one by one, and then a distant flash of fire and a cannonball screeched over the Seven Seas Traveler.

Fang Yu looked up and looked at the cannonball flying far above their heads, but there was no sense of relief in his heart, he knew that the other party was just trying to fire it, and this cannon actually had a warning meaning.

However, he pressed the side of the ship, the Seven Seas Traveler was just a small boat that couldn't even reach the seventh rank, and there was no artillery that could be used directly to return fire, and the lancers were useless, and there were dense black spots hovering under the opposing ship, which should also be the air combat structure they put on it.

There's a big battle ahead that will require him to participate in personally, and the Seven Seas Traveler will have to trust Miss Tata's abilities.

Another silvery-white side of the ship also emerged from the clouds to the left of the Seven Seas Traveler.

It was the Fury, which was locking the course of the Seven Seas Traveler from the left and right with the Dreadnought, watching the Seven Seas Traveler below from a higher altitude.

Both ships were already in firing positions, they had not yet fired, but they were just waiting for a suitable moment. Buck looked in the direction of the Seven Seas Traveler, and saw that the other party had no intention of slowing down, so he turned around and gave the order to fire to the herald behind him.

"The first round of test firings forced them to stop."

Rounds of fire flashed in the cannon door of the black hole, and the whistling cannonballs fell on the Seven Seas Traveler left and right, as if it was traveling in a storm for a while, although the cannonballs did not stir up the water column as if they were really above the sea, but they still scared Ai Xiaoxiao on the ship enough.

She grabbed the side of the ship and shivered, as if she would be beaten by a cannonball in the next second, and her upper and lower teeth trembled. However, Baggins, who was indifferent to this, looked over and comforted her: "Don't worry, the other party didn't plan to hit us." ”

"Really, why?"

"They just want us to slow down."

On the other side of the deck, 'Grey Whistle' Blackcock also looked a little uneasy, he was not a sailor after all, and he had never seen such a sight. Behind him, however, the leader of the redeemed, the tall man, had a nonchalant expression, the wound on his arm that had not yet fully healed, and was bleeding golden.

Ai Xiaoxiao took a breath and asked again, "Will we stop?" ”

Baggins looked in that direction and shook his head, "Of course not. ”

So after a volley, instead of slowing down, the Seven Seas Traveler was faster.

Buck watched the scene silently, and the face of a bearded man was projected in the projection crystal on the side, and the other party's face was flushed with an abnormal flush, and it looked like he had drunk too much. The man in the picture is laughing: "Buck, it seems that the other party is not going to appreciate it." These little guys, they don't seem to be aware of their situation. ”

It was the captain of the Fury, who raised the steel jug and took a sip of his wine, burped, and continued: "Buck, if you don't fire, I'm going to fire, how about seeing which of us can sink this sampan first, ten thousand miles?" ”

But Buck didn't intend to pay attention to the man, as if he was ignoring, he turned back to the lieutenant and said, "Another round of warning fire, a barrage will form in front of them, and if they ignore the warning again, we will directly fire at them." ”

The adjutant nodded and took the order.

But at this time, the Furious already sounded like a rolling thunderbolt, and in the flash of fire, it flew directly towards the Seven Seas Traveler with a screaming cannonball.

It's just that at this distance, the hit of the shell is obviously quite affected by the shaking of the hull itself, and the crosswind above the empty sea, and the accuracy is not very high. Under the roar of the thirty-two guns on the side of the ship on the side of the Fury, only one or two shells actually flew over the Seven Sea Travelers.

However, the second salvo arrived quickly, and after the first round of calibration, the accuracy of the second salvo was clearly more than improved, and several shells hit the Nanami Traveler directly, only to be stopped by a layer of dark blue light shields that spread around the ship.

The man with stubble on his face shook his head repeatedly: "Little thing, I want to see how thick your shield is." ”

He was drunk and waved his hand suspiciously in a bit of spirit: "Hurry up, the next round of shooting, you don't need to ask the other party's opinion, just sink it directly, and there are our people below who will 'take care' of them." ”

Buck couldn't help but shake his head as he watched this, but it was also at this time that the Dreadnought was ready to fire. Due to his teammates' actions, their interrogative fire was meaningless, so he simply asked the adjutant to change the order and shoot directly to sink the opponent.

The two fifth-class cruisers opened fire almost simultaneously, forming a crossfire network on the left and right sides—the gunners on the Intrepid were evenly hit, and nearly a third of the more than thirty shells hit the gleaming blue shield.

And after about a dozen shells, the dark blue shield of light finally flickered slightly and shattered.

"The next round is a winner," the man with the flask smugly boasted to Buck, "Buck, I'm ready to fire before you." ”

Before he could finish speaking, the hull of the Fury shook violently, and the sound of artillery fire almost drowned out his words.

But under the man's smug gaze, he found incredibly, and he didn't know if his gunner was too carried away, or for some other reason, the Seven Seas Traveler was unscathed under this round of shooting, swimming like a dexterous swimming fish between the 'rain of bullets'.

"Damn," the man cried, his voice full of regret, "you're lucky, Buck, and the ten thousand miles are yours." ”

It's just that Buck didn't say a word, and he didn't pay attention to him at all.

He watched the Seven Seas Traveler's trajectory change direction in unison with the sails on board, it was not that he had never seen such an amazing ability to control a sail in his life, in fact, he had experienced it several times.

But those were the most seasoned sailors he had ever met, and that was years ago, when he was still on a boat, as a boatswain. Buck frowned deeply, and instead of giving the order to open fire immediately, he turned back to stop his lieutenant before speaking to the man in the projection:

"Do you know who is on that ship, Garas?"

"What?" The man was stunned for a moment, and asked with his tongue wide open.

"That's Sir Marvier's daughter."
