Chapter 288: Déjà vu
In fact, at the beginning, when Nangong Rong proposed that Octavir go deep into the enemy formation to stage a peerless drama, the eldest princess's heart refused, not that she couldn't let the girl do whatever she wanted, but it was really dangerous, even if the eldest princess was flexible, it was impossible to guarantee that she would never be hit in the dense barrage. You must know that the attacks of those sea monsters are all aimed at battleships, which are terrifyingly powerful and corrosive, and even if they rub a little, the girl will not be able to eat and walk around.
But after hearing about Nangong Rong's specific plan, Octavir finally agreed to the other party's proposal, because it was not only the eldest princess who needed to take risks, but the young man himself had to do something relatively more dangerous.
Transforming the corpse of a sea monster into a puppet in the center of the enemy formation is definitely a more hateful thing than the eldest princess going around picking up deep-sea habitats, even if the boy is hiding in Ceolis's body, the mount may not be able to withstand the crazy bombardment of the monsters. If the mount is killed and forced to come out of it before Nangong Rong can create a sufficient number of puppets to fight against the sea monster, the boy who can't use any system skills other than healing will be like a salted fish on a chopping board.
Therefore, Octavir always exerted all his strength in the process of rushing and killing, not only to keep himself from being attacked too intensively, but also to relieve Nangong Rong's pressure and divert the monster's attention from him.
It's true that the large sea monsters are not good at dealing with fast-moving small aerial targets, but they are not completely out of the question, and they have learned a lot of lessons from Lin Weiyin and their teammates, and they also have their own strategies for dealing with them.
After Octavir turned into a blast wind and used her thin sword to send out a fierce sword aura and cut off the head of a sea monster, the girl who was about to turn around and attack another sea monster not far from the unlucky guy suddenly became alert, and her feet stepped hard in the air and made a loud bang, and the whole person immediately quickly rose up and flew into the sky.
The sharp change of direction did not cause any discomfort to the eldest princess, and no matter how exaggerated she maneuvered, she would not be dizzy or dazzled. Thanks to this, the girl could clearly see large beams of energy, each almost half a man tall, flying from her position as she ascended rapidly, which may not be powerful enough compared to the main cannon of physical ammunition, but they were staggeringly numerous, and the sea monsters were continuous when firing them.
The abyssal version of the burst-to-air weapon was originally used to deal with Lin Weiyin and others, but now it is used on the eldest princess. However, this requires a certain number of sea monsters to form a formation to use in order to exert the barrage effect, otherwise it is just a firework behind the eldest princess.
The sea monsters naturally have such a plan, but the key is that they do not have a unified command, some are forming a formation to deal with Octavir, some are focusing on Nangong Rong's body, and some are engaged in an artillery battle with the human fleet in the distance, and the team is very chaotic when it is disturbed like this.
However, Octavir in the air could clearly see that the sea monsters were still 108,000 miles away from rout, despite their state of confusion, and they just didn't know which side of the enemy to deal with first. Although Stephanie should be taking care of herself now, if she finds out about the situation here and gives the sea monsters correct and detailed instructions in time to set fire to one side, then the matter will be completely closed.
Therefore, the eldest princess quickly dived down again and took the initiative to burrow into the fire net after avoiding the barrage that attacked her, and she wanted to completely disperse the sea monster in the center, so that even if Stephanie gave instructions, only the peripheral units could react.
Octavir prefers spears to weapons that can exert great power with speed, rather than short spandexters, so that the girl doesn't need to use some of her power to strengthen her weapons when charging. This is especially true when dealing with large targets with rough skin and thick flesh, and the appearance that the enchanted thin sword slashes at the opponent feels as if it will break at any time, so how can the eldest princess use it with confidence?
So every time the girl attacks the sea monster, it takes a lot of energy, and it won't be long before she runs out.
On the other hand, Nangong Rong's situation is also not good, the idea of the boy hiding in the body of Ceolis and using the remains of the sea monster killed in battle to create a puppet is not wrong in itself, but he seriously underestimated the time it will take to transform. As a result, it was difficult for the puppets created by the boy to quickly form a sufficient number to fight the surrounding sea monsters, so it was only natural that his mount was quickly attacked by the enemy.
Except for the sea monsters around him when he made the first puppet, he was attracted by Octavier's attention without interference, and the transformation went very smoothly, and then Nangong Rong never had a good time. The corpse of a sea monster that was so large that it was the size of a battleship to transform was quite laborious, and it was impossible for a single puppet to stop all attacks, and occasionally a few shells hitting the boy's mount would affect him a little - if it was just that, the problem was that during this time, a sea monster even rushed to Ceolis's side, forcing Nangong Rong to have to play melee with it for a while.
Fortunately, what rushed in front of the young man was a relatively small fishing boat-level monster, so that Ceolis would not be swallowed by the other party, and at that time, Nangong Rong transformed half of the corpse, and hurriedly controlled this half-dead strange tail to fly the enemy, which successfully resolved the danger.
However, the boy's desire to continue the transformation and conjure up a second puppet also became distant, as more small and nimble fishing boat-level sea monsters followed the example of their predecessors and swooped down on Nangong Rong's mount, and it was really difficult for him to concentrate on maintaining the transformation.
"!" Nangong Rong gritted his teeth and squeezed out a dirty word from his mouth, as if this was the only way to vent the depression and dissatisfaction in his heart, but he would not be desperate to hold on, but controlled the mount to let out a long whistling sound to signal Octavir in the air to retreat first, "I can't create a sufficient number of puppets at all, and the battle has failed, so let's go back first." ”
Just as Nangong Rong was talking to himself in the mount, the small sea monsters had already come to the young man's eyes, and they greeted Ceolis with their teeth and claws. The boy was not afraid of this, and calmly controlled the half-transformed sea monster corpses nearby and began to deal with them, if it weren't for his own affairs, just looking at the current situation, the boy even had some doubts about whether he was a necromancer who had not yet awakened.
Transformed by Nangong Rong is a monster that looks like a blue whale, half of the body is deep purple-red, and the other half is a beautiful violet, but unfortunately the upper body including the head is purple-red, and all it can really move is only a tail, which is not suitable for dealing with an incomparably flexible small fishing boat after all, and it is already the limit to shoot an unlucky egg who can't dodge.
In desperation, Nangong Rong had no choice but to let the mount mount on the back of the blue whale, and to his surprise, the small sea monsters in the shape of big-headed fish actually grew four lizard legs from their abdomen at a speed visible to the naked eye, and climbed up after him.
Well, after all, the ultimate goal of the abyss of this world is to get on land, so it's not surprising that it will grow feet, right?
"Pill Pill Pill Pill Nangong Rong, who was full of black lines, said frantically while controlling the mount to move quickly, "I don't know how strong this biological weapon of the Sitnila people is, maybe I can use it to fight?"
The golden retriever gave a fairly reasonable suggestion at the right time: "Don't think that you can fight back, even if you can do it, your teammates who can support others are on the way to come, and you still have to return spring water for free in the end." Just set a few traps on the back of the half-transformed puppet to block the other party, and then take the opportunity to escape, otherwise you really can't get out. ”
Because they were forcibly teleported by Stephanie, the types of deep-sea habitat ships were not complete, because the black-haired girl only chose the sea monsters that operated on the water, and she didn't pay attention to those who were in charge of underwater operations. Therefore, if Nangong Rong drove Ceolis out of the water, there would not be much resistance, just as they were not noticed by the enemy when they came.
Of course, it is not ruled out that the surrounding sea monsters will exert the spirit of [team battles can lose, someone must die] and follow Nangong Rong into the water to pursue the possibility, although they are surface combat units, but after all, they are based on marine creatures, and it is not difficult to dive into the water or something - they have many weapons that cannot be used underwater, and they can only attack Nangong Rong's mount with fangs and claws, etc., and the boy still has a certain chance of escape.
"That's true, but did you see Taver come back?" Nangong Rong was speaking when a sea monster came to him, and he hurriedly controlled his mount and raised his bear paw to respond to the other party's greeting, so he replied a little absent-mindedly, "Either the cannon was so loud that the girl didn't hear Ceollis' roar, or she rushed too hard to notice." How could I leave alone in this situation, and I would have to go with her if I wanted to go. ”
After saying that, Nangong Rong let the mount raise his head to the sky and let out a roar, but the eldest princess still didn't react, and continued to impact the monsters' team back and forth.
Although it was the code agreed upon by the two before the start of the operation, the sound on the battlefield was too noisy, and the whistling of Ceolis was sandwiched between the explosion of cannonballs and the roar of the sea monster, and the sense of presence was infinitely close to zero.
Nangong Rong suddenly regretted why she didn't get a flare or something like that to contact Octavier, so that she could easily notice it when she was in the air. But it's useless to say anything now, the boy's mount is already smaller than the close-quarters sea monster, and it's not a puppet he has made up that can be strengthened wantonly, and after a few strokes with his opponent, he was bitten off his left arm.
Land units and sea units, the two sides are not at the same level at all, as if you have to let tanks compete with gunboats in firepower, isn't that self-inflicted?
The opponent's terrifying strength was not at all beyond Nangong Rong's expectations, he was no longer the pink rookie he was back then, just from the abyssal energy contained in the enemy's body, he could roughly guess the strength of his strength, and then take corresponding countermeasures. Just when the boy was thinking about whether to burrow into the blue whale and play hide and seek with the big-headed fish, an unexpected thing happened to happen.
A sea monster of the same size as the Blue Whale bypassed the first puppet that was desperately trying to intercept it under the cover of other companions, and quickly approached the Blue Whale, clearly intending to tear the Blue Whale to pieces. At this time, if Nangong Rong got into the blue whale's body, he was afraid that he would not be swallowed into the other party's stomach.
"Run, or you won't be able to leave. The Golden Retriever suggested earnestly, in a rare and serious tone, "Octavil can at least get out of the air, and you should worry more about yourself than about her." ”
The system rarely instructed Nangong Rong what to do next in battle, and more let him think about it by himself to come up with a solution and solve it, but at some critical moments she would still ask the teenager to do what she instructed. After all, unlike other users of auxiliary devices, Nangong Rong's physique is too special, even if he has to take risks fighting in order for him to grow, he can't sit back and watch him lose some unnecessary battles.
"Well, listen to you. "The boy knows that now is not the time to be a hero, not to mention that he is not a heroic unit, and he will jump into the water when he controls his mount," I hope Taver can notice the change in the battle situation as soon as possible and leave, if she really makes up her mind, those monsters will not be able to stop her." ”
It's a pity that Nangong Rong's plan ended up failing because of a mistake in pre-calculation, and now it is a matter of course to choose to run away. But before the boy could jump into the water with his mount, the sea monster that was rushing towards the blue whale suddenly jumped up from the surface of the water, full of a hungry tiger pounced on food.
At least that's what Nangong Rong thought at the beginning, but after a few seconds, the boy's horror turned into consternation, and then it turned into a sore and speechless egg.
Because after the monster jumped up, it kept flying upwards, and there was no sign of landing under the influence of the planet's gravity, and it truly realized the legendary freedom of flying.
If it hadn't set off countless waves when it jumped, Nangong Rong would have thought that thing was a large hydrogen balloon.
"Now, golden retriever, where do I think I've seen something like this?"
"Well, we've seen it, one of the abilities that Trist's telekinesis possess. ”
