Chapter 2178: Exploring the Trail of Sha Lan (16)

At the same time, somewhere underground in Cairo.

"This is it. Prince Said was at the front, followed by two bodyguards, followed by Bedivel and several other bounty hunters on the mission------ including Eric the Strategist and Nath the Musketeer.

The prince said in an introductory tone as he ordered the door of a storehouse-like room in front of him to be pushed open. The moment the gate was opened, a faint wave of heat rushed in, even accompanied by the sound of striking iron. Bediwell couldn't help but glance into the room, and saw a huge forge in a large room. Many skilled craftsmen are forging weapons, and they are not ordinary weapons, they are frighteningly large in size, and they are mostly spear-throwing weapons.

The resulting throwing spears had sharp barbs on the tips and chains on the tails. The barbed structure of the spear head is clearly designed to amplify damage and create a bleeding effect, while the rings seem to be used to recycle the flesh of the creature by the chain after piercing the flesh of the creature, and even allow these throwing guns to be fired a second time, causing more damage.

And what bothered Bediwell the most was that this wonderful giant throwing gun was translucent and crimson. This appearance seems to bear a strange resemblance to the Luna steel weapons made in Segrade.

"Well, looking at the way these weapons look, are they going to bleed Moby Dick? Bediwell asked tentatively. When he asked this, he saw that the staff had carried away a giant throwing gun that had been reduced in size by nearly a third after it had been thoroughly cooled and annealed, and he was even more convinced of his guess.

"That's right, that's exactly what we're planning. Prince Said replied, apparently not upset by the leakage of the plan, and that the people present were already the adventurers who had already been hired for the plan, and he did not have the slightest suspicion of those involved in the plan.

"Mr. Bedeville, do you remember the javelin you sold me earlier?" Prince Said suddenly asked, "The [Red Moon Steel] weapon used in this mission is a reverse-engineered replica of that weapon by the craftsmen I hired. Although they are not as powerful as your [Luna Steel] weapons. ＂

"I understand. The werewolf youth replied perfunctorily, and followed Prince Said and his party through the large room with the iron-making furnace and into another auditorium that resembled a large battle conference room. There are still a lot of adventurers waiting inside, some of them are supposed to be hunters sent by the Cairo Bounty Hunters Association, and some of them are obviously not Egyptians from their attire, and they are probably excellent adventurers recruited by Prince Said from all over the world.

Coupled with the group of bounty hunters that Bediville and they participated in this test, there are really more than 100 people in this camp------ although this lineup is still a bit unsightly to say that this lineup is going to fight against Moby Dick and his army of desert sharks. Bediwell can only hope that the people who participated in this mission are all warriors who can be a hundred, and they can really come in handy in a fierce battle of that level.

"Then please take a seat. Now let's talk about the details of the operation. The prince walked to the middle of the podium, and one of his bodyguards made an announcement.

Of course, this explanation was not explained by Prince Said himself, another figure who seemed to be a butler came out from behind the scenes, spread out the notebook on the podium, and then let a holographic screen radiate from the notebook before starting to tell the battle plan.

"This operation was completed by the cooperation of the 127 adventurers present. The butler, dressed in a crisp black suit, said in a slightly old voice, "We will first lure the desert shark Moby Dick out of the sea of sand with special bait, and immediately after it appears, we will encircle and destroy it with twelve medium destroyers that have been ambushed.

Each destroyer is already equipped with four state-of-the-art harpoon guns that can fire [Red Moon Steel Harpoons] with chains. Well, it's the kind of giant weapon you just saw in the forge. The Harpoon was used to create countless wounds on Moby Dick's body, reducing his physical strength by bleeding damage, and on the other hand, to leave clues that the cunning desert shark could trace, so that we could follow the wounded and bleeding shark to its lair. ＂

Does the Desert Shark have its own lair? Bediwell wondered. Before that, he thought that Moby Dick was just a giant monster wandering endlessly in the Sahara Sand Sea.

"Of course, in the course of the battle between the destroyer and Moby Dick, it will inevitably come with an army of desert sharks to try to destroy our fleet. The first task of each of you who is evenly assigned to each destroyer is to repel the army of desert sharks that attack the destroyers, so that these annoying pests do not destroy our fleet. Do you have any questions?"

Someone was the first to raise their hand and ask. It's Strategist Eric.

"What are you going to do with Moby Dick's Crimson Cannon?" he asked, "If you get hit head-on by something like that, the destroyer will evaporate in an instant." And judging by the size of the fleet you mentioned, it doesn't seem that the size and mobility of the destroyer will be easy to avoid the Crimson Wave Cannon. The participants here are evenly distributed among each destroyer, does that mean that some of them may be swept up by the Crimson Wave Cannon on the ship and die?"

Eric's question was exactly the one that most of the adventurers present wanted to ask but didn't have time to ask, so when he asked like this, the others present couldn't help but let out a low voice of approval, causing a small commotion.

That's a good question. The butler nodded, as if he knew from the beginning that someone would ask such a question: "Admittedly, it is indeed difficult for the fleet to dodge Moby Dick's Crimson Wave Cannon. But the Crimson Wave Cannon has a long preparation period after each launch, and we can also rely on some means to prevent it to a large extent. ＂

"Oh?" Eric snorted, confused.

The butler clicked a few buttons on the electronic notebook, and a series of three-dimensional combat simulation screens appeared on the holographic screen floating in mid-air. It seems that the destroyer also has a "doppelganger" function, and before being hit, in the high-speed movement, it is divided into two?

"This is an optical camouflage system secretly developed by the military of a certain country, and its effect, as you can see, is able to temporarily create several mirage-like reflections for destroyers to disturb our enemies. The butler continued, "From what we've observed, Moby Dick has an extremely long charging time before firing the [Crimson Wave Cannon], and its charging action is so obvious that as soon as it opens its mouth, we can guess which destroyer it is going to shoot with the Crimson Wave Cannon. So the rest of the matter is simple, as soon as we find out that Moby Dick is locking on a destroyer ready to shoot, we immediately notify the ship to activate the optical camouflage system. The destroyer also released several clones to protect itself in the process of dodging at full speed, which ideally would cause Moby Dick to not be able to hit the real destroyer, ensuring the safety of the destroyer participating in the battle to the greatest extent. ＂

＂...... In other words, there is no 100% guarantee that the destroyer will not be hit, is it?" Eric asked.

"There is no such thing as 100% insurance, sir. The butler also replied: "Every battle is an adventure, and every battle against people is a fight for life." Haven't all of you here been living like this for a long time?"

The adventurers in the room whispered for a moment, but none of them could contradict the butler's words. It is true that this kind of operation to disrupt Moby Dick by relying on optical camouflage is not necessarily successful, but it seems that its success rate is quite high. If anyone happens to be on one of the unlucky destroyers that was hit by the Crimson Wave cannon, they can only blame those people for their bad luck. And luck is also one of the conditions for becoming a good adventurer.

The vast majority of the people present are gamblers who have gambled their lives on their own fate. And they have always had strong luck, and they have never been afraid of this kind of battle with their lives.

This time will be no exception.

"Well, let's just assume that the first step of your plan will succeed, and the destroyer will be able to inflict heavy damage on Moby Dick and force it to escape. And then?" Bediwell asked, "The monster was able to dive into the sand and escape into the glass sea of the Sahara Desert. Do you have a way to catch up with it with your existing fleet and deal a fatal blow to a crippled one? Without this level of technology, this plan would ultimately be on paper. As far as I know, the only ship in the world that can conduct subspace diving------ [Ice Crystal] in the Kingdom of Iceland is currently the only one in the world. ＂

"Nope. If it were only about diving into the Sahara Sand Sea, there was another ship in the world that could do it. At this critical juncture, Prince Said suddenly interrupted: "That ship is the illusory ship that appears from time to time in the Sahara Sand Sea, the golden ship ------ the ship of the desert. ＂

Bediwell shuddered.

Isn't the other party talking about his sand ship [Dawn]?

Before that, he managed the Desert Ship as an acting captain, and finally with the help of Great Britain, he finally cracked the ship's system, and actually got the golden ship------ the Desert Ship, and named it the [Aurora".

The Desert Ship that the prince said should be referring to the Dawn of the Werewolf Youth, right? But no one should know about this matter on the African side, and it is information that is closely protected by Great Britain?

Moreover, the attitude that Prince Said talked to Bedeville before should have been just the attitude of hiring Bedeville as an adventurer to fight against Moby-Dick together, and he probably didn't know that Bedeville was the captain of the Desert Ship (Aurora).

What the hell is the [Golden Ship --- Ship of the Desert] that the prince is talking about now?!
