The Oliver family fleet is sad.

As soon as the Golden Ghost jumped from the sky and fell into the sea, the cannon barrel in the toad's mouth erupted a pillar of magical light.

This cannon was aimed at the one of the four warships sprayed with the icon of "Ship No. 3".

The layman may not be able to see the difference between several ships that are almost identical, but Colin, a grandmaster-level mechanical engineer, confirmed that this ship is the "command ship" of the entire fleet from the small equipment configuration on the ship!

The thief captures the king first, and the gun shoots the first bird.

Then, the fleet commander of the Oliver family was utterly tragic. With a "boom", the blue pillar of light wrapped in destructive energy hit the hull of the ship in a blink of an eye. Although the magic energy defense system neutralized the power of most of the artillery, the remaining energy of the pillar of light easily pierced through the hull.

The angle of the hit was tricky, and it happened to be the location of the ship's boiler compartment.

This cannon directly penetrated the kinetic energy boiler, and a violent secondary explosion sounded from the inside of the ship in an instant, and there was no chance to remedy it.

Thundered...

Another brilliant firework exploded on the sea.

......

After two cannons in succession and sinking two capital battleships, the people of the Oliver family panicked and were completely frightened.

The enemy's firepower was terrifying.

"Fleet 3 is sunk, damn it! The Commander, Master Kruger, is also dead, what should I do now..."

"I'm Dinah, Commander of Fleet 2, and I'm taking over the command of the fleet. The No. 4 and No. 5 ships are under my command, changing the triangular formation formation, the pressure is full, and the magic energy artillery is ready for secondary filling..."

"Yes!"

"The artillery is aimed at the iron toad ship, the triangle covers the target, the muzzle of the No. 4 ship rises at an angle of 2 degrees, and the muzzles of the No. 3 and No. 5 fleets are offset left and right, blocking the target's retreat."

"Charged..."

"Fire!"

“...”

......

The biggest difference between the regular army and the rabble is the "executive power".

In a crucial life-and-death battle, this determines the outcome of the battle.

In a well-trained regular fleet, from the commander to the crew, the first goal is to carry out orders and conduct orderly operations. Instead of scurrying around like a headless fly for your own life. Even if the battle is lost and the crew is timid, they will reunite a strong fighting force because of this "execution".

Changing to some rabble pirate fleets, after encountering the situation in front of them that the command ship was sunk, the most likely thing is that they will scatter in a hurry and escape separately, and they will not be able to stop any decent counterattack at all.

This is also the most important reason why it is often seen in the newspapers that several ships of the naval fleet encounter dozens or hundreds of pirate fleets, even if the two main generals are of the same extraordinary rank, the navy can still win brilliantly!

......

When the people on the "Ghost Regiment" saw that the remaining three ships of Oliver's fleet did not flee, but changed formation, they immediately realized that the other party had no intention of giving up at all, and had even organized the next round of artillery counterattacks.

What we encountered in front of us was a well-trained "regular army", and even if we had sunk two of the opponent's warships, the opponent's military spirit was still there, and we absolutely could not afford to take it lightly.

Because, at this time, the main guns on the three ships once again lit up the energy storage light of the magic energy cannons towards them.

"Captain, we are locked by enemy artillery, jump into the air, and have a 19% chance of being hit; Horizontal traverse locks with 33% chance to be hit... Get ready for 'Plan C' submersible mode! ”

"Perform a submarine!"

"Anna, cast a spell, trap the sea!"

"Yes, Captain!"

“...”

The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, the enemy's artillery has been charged to the extreme, and pillars of light are erupting.

Raymond gave an order, and at this time, the huge steel body of the "Golden Ghost" floating on the surface of the sea suddenly sank.

A surprising scene has appeared!

The Iron Toad not only activated the submersible mode, but on the other hand, the sea surface suddenly seemed to have been drained by a large amount of seawater, and the hull of the ship sank sharply for dozens of meters, and disappeared into the sea level in an instant.

This is Anna's ability to control the sea, she used magic to instantly change the "topography" of the ocean, so that the iron toad seemed to step on a trap, and suddenly fell into the "sea pit" created by magic!

......

"That toad ship... Where did it go? ”

Looked at

The men of the Oliver family fleet were once again confused.

The "Golden Ghost" suddenly disappeared in front of everyone's eyes, and disappeared out of thin air without warning. Looking through the lookout glass, the sea is empty, where can you see the shadow of a ship?

"What's going on?"

"That toad ship seems to have sunk to the bottom of the sea?"

"Even if it's a submarine, it won't disappear in an instant... What the hell is going on! ”

“...”

These people in the Oliver family feel that their IQ has been crushed again.

It's not that they haven't seen a submarine before, but even if the ship enters the state of submarine, there is a process! This suddenly disappeared out of thin air, and there was no process of "slowly sinking" at all, what the hell is the situation?

However, at this moment, the magic energy cannon has been fully charged, and the arrow is ready to be fired.

Obviously there was no "enemy", and in the next second, the light pillar shells were still firing out according to the pre-set trajectory of the ballistics...

"It's over..."

At this moment, everyone on these three ships was in despair.

If this round of artillery can no longer hit the enemy, they will be in an extremely passive situation.

Dinah, the temporary commander of the fleet, guessed that since the iron toad could fly, it must also have the ability to move quickly. Therefore, the experienced commander ordered the magic energy cannons of the three ships to seal the left and right horizontal planes and the angle of the sky above, which was a very wise battlefield contingency.

In this case, even if the opponent's ships cross the air again, or rush left and right to dodge, they may be hit by artillery fire...

But everything was expected, but she didn't expect the other party to come and "disappear suddenly".

The "target" is now empty on the surface of the original attack sea, and these three magical cannonballs are bound to miss...

Whoosh~whoosh~whoosh~

Sure enough, the cannonball swept through the air rapidly, and then accurately hit the intended target of the "empty sky", and one blue light shot into the sky and disappeared, and two beams shot into the sea at a great distance, blowing up two huge white waves.

After the artillery fire...

Everyone looked at the sea level, and a steel toad ship slowly floated up from below the sea level. In its mouth, the charged light pillar of the magic cannon has been lit to the extreme... Suddenly, the third shell had already accumulated.

"It's over!"

Seeing this scene, this was the only thought on the minds of everyone in the Oliver family's fleet.

They had no doubt that the cannon would sink a ship. They can only pray that the ship they are staying on is not the "unlucky one" who was hit.

The people on the three ships are desperate, and the naval battle of the ships is still so fun?

People's ships can not only "fly into the sky", but also "escape the sea"!

This is a proper technological crush!

What's more, what's even more outrageous is the charging time interval of the Iron Toad Demon Cannon!

It's almost a shot a minute, and it's so short that it's desperate.

The ships of the Oliver family fleet had already fired several rounds of artillery in the pursuit of the "Eight-legged Spider" before, and now the load of the barrels was very large, and it would take at least a few minutes to organize a counterattack again.

But this time is enough for the iron toad on the other side to fire a few more cannons...

The opposing ship also apparently has a clever artillery operator, sinking a ship with one shot, how many rounds can they hold on?

This third gun, impartially, was sunk again by the 3rd ship, where the hapless temporary commander was located. Moments before being sunk, the commander gave the order for the entire army to retreat.

"Everyone retreats at full speed... The cannon is charged to prevent pursuit. ”

Boom!

A violent explosion erupted on the surface of the sea for the third time, and three of the five Olev family warships were sunk in just a few minutes.

The two remaining ships immediately ran into flames and fled like crazy.

......

At the same time, aboard the Golden Wraith.

Seeing the withdrawal of the Oliver family's fleet, Raymond, who was standing on the deck, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the enemy's two rounds of artillery just now didn't hit them, the terrifying power of the magic energy cannon also made him feel like a roller coaster. The feeling of brushing shoulders with death was like a bullet flying through the scalp, and it was so sour that it sent chills down the spine.

"Whew..."

Raymond let out a loud breath.

At this time, Anna in the override room said to Raymond: "Captain, they escaped, are we going to chase them?" ”

"No, don't chase after the poor."

Raymond thought for a moment and sent a message to Colin in the artillery compartment: "Colin artillery fires two more cannons, if it can be sunk, it will be sunk, and if it misses, forget it..."

He knew that there were extraordinary masters on the other party's ship, and he really wanted to kill them all, and he couldn't say that there would be any changes.

And in such a thing as a naval battle, no one dares to say that they have won the victory without seeing one side die. Even if the iron toad's technological level is superior, it does not have the ability to completely crush it.

The devastating power of the magic cannon is enough to turn any mistake into a deadly crisis.

The magic cannons on the opposing ships are also a deadly threat to the "Golden Ghost".

What's more, they shot this time to save people, not to have any undying grudges. Chasing deserters doesn't mean anything to them.

Thinking of this,

Raymond smiled and said, "Let's lean over now and see if Colin's 'fiancée' is safe..."

"yes..."

The crowd responded.

Everyone was eager to see what Colin's fiancée really looked like.

......

Colin's teacher was Connie Springer Rodriguez, one of the world's top scientists, and he was one of the three "grandmasters" of mechanical engineering unique to Hexcity.

In the game, the old man is also a character nailed to the background board.

By the time the player comes into contact with the high-level quests of that level, the Grand Master has long since disappeared from the world.

Raymond didn't know much either.

Scientists have a very high status in the world of great exploration, just like potions masters, and both the world government and pirates are full of respect for them.

Hextechnopolis is also the world's most famous "place of absolute neutrality", which is not subject to interference by any force.

Science has nothing to do with camps, scientists are a group of pure technicians who are committed to the survival and development of human beings, and they are one of the greatest dependents for human beings to survive in this dangerous maritime world.

Scientists create the world's top scientific and technological products, weapons, equipment, ship islands, ships... But they will not participate in any human territory wars, resource plundering, kingdom politics... Not even the World Government has the right to interfere in any of the administrative affairs of Hex.

This kind of "neutral attitude" that is indisputable with the world will not make them almost inevitably involved in any grievances and hatreds, and it stands to reason that they will not encounter any great trouble.

What's more, Connie, as one of the only three remaining "great grandmasters" in the world, has a high status as a big man of that level, and even if someone wants to murder them, he will definitely be condemned by the world's major forces.

But now the truth is... That Grand Master Connie not only suffered a great disaster, but even his family was ruined. Even the great-granddaughter, a close relative, was driven to extermination, and was chased to this remote place that separated Hex City by dozens of seas.

Raymond had heard Colin briefly say that the cause of the incident seemed to be related to some top-secret research led by his teacher.

Scientists have found some valuable information from an ancient ruin, and then they plan to use this as a basis to restore the kind of "ancient weapons" recorded in the materials of that broken civilization.

It was also because of some uncontrollable changes in this project jointly researched by the three grandmasters of Hex City, which caused his teacher to want to terminate the research and destroy the research results.

never thought that this move would bring him a catastrophe.

Because behind this research, there is already the shadow of the world government!

The ambitious "big guys" in the General Assembly did not allow the termination of an imminent successful "Ancient Weapon" project. Under tremendous pressure, the other two great masters compromised, and then there was the persecution of Teacher Colin later...

......

After firing two more shots, Colin took out one of the Olivers' ships, but finally let the last one escape.

The crisis has been completely eliminated, and everyone in the "Ghost Pirates" breathes a sigh of relief.

In their spare time, they also began to gossip about Colin's childhood sweetheart's fiancée.

The "Golden Ghost" slowly fell towards the "eight-legged water spider" ship, and from a long distance, everyone saw a figure on the other ship's ship waving at them.

Colin also stood on the deck expectantly, waving his hand, his eyes showing excitement that he had never seen before.

Raymond had known Colin for so long, and it was the first time he had seen such tenderness on the face of a genius mechanic of his own age.

He thought that this guy who could transform his body into a mechanical android without hesitation was the same as Lulu, and there would be no extra emotions except for science.

Looking at it now, it's probably not.

"Tsk... It's a good figure, it's convex and backward..."

Anna took the binoculars and leaned on the railing to look closely at the beautiful figure on the boat.

She smiled with crooked eyebrows, and while watching, she didn't forget to quip: "Ouch... Colin, you have a good eye. Why haven't I heard you have such a beautiful 'fiancée' before? ”

Hearing this, a hint of shyness flashed in Colin's eyes, and he smiled shyly: "I... I thought she had died in that accident. ”

The pouting on the side pursed his lips, and his face was full of puzzlement: "Colin, what's the use of a fiancée... Can she help you with your research? ”

This eldest son obviously doesn't understand what is the "practical" use of having an extra fiancée, and it deserves to be so happy with his good friend.

This smile seems to be more heartfelt than the previous successful construction of the "Toad Cannon". is warm, let others see it, and it seems to be infected, and I want to be happy for him.

“...”

What is a fiancée for?

Hearing this, Colin was a little speechless. Not knowing how to explain the question, he muttered in a fine voice, "Nicole's words... Her level of scientific research is no worse than mine..."

"Oops..."

Anna touched the head of her eldest son, and interjected with a grin: "Lulu, you are still young, you don't understand." When you grow up, you'll know the benefits of being a 'fiancée'..."

As she spoke, the bold navigator lady flashed a meaningful cunning in her eyes, and glanced at a certain captain.

This "old driver" lady is not only skilled in driving a boat, but also a thief when driving.

“...”

Raymond listened, rolled his eyes, and didn't dare to talk.

Probably, this kind of words, Lulu can't understand.

Colin looked at Anna's playful expression, and was even more cramped and flustered, and he didn't even know where to put his hands for a while.
