Chapter 245: The Air Thief Strikes

・As soon as Red Lotus threw out the football-sized balloon in her hand, the entire ship shook violently, accompanied by a loud explosion.

All of this was naturally not caused by Honglian's half-finished balloon, her balloon was as she expected, and it dissipated naturally not long after it was thrown out.

The sudden shaking of the spaceship made many people inside fall unguarded, and some were accidentally injured, wailing all over the ground, just as those injured were about to get up with the help of others, another boom came, and the spaceship shook even more violently, and the people who had just gotten up and had not yet stood firm fell to the ground again, and the injuries were aggravated.

At this time, everyone in the ship also knew that this was not an ordinary accident, there was definitely something wrong, the spacious rest cabin suddenly became agitated, and the little girl who had been pestering Bell to tell the story was also frightened and cried: "Mom! ”

Although the little boy next to him was also scared, he was a boy after all, and he was a little stronger, so he didn't cry.

Wang Zhi was most annoyed that the child was crying, and he was already very upset by this sudden incident, and immediately asked Bell, "What about their parents?" ”

"I don't know, they came by themselves, and they didn't see their parents." Mage Lori said as she flipped her wand through her suitcase.

Now in this situation, everyone knows that something is wrong, and a battle may not be avoidable.

Probably to satisfy their speculation, there was another loud bang, and this time not only did the ship shake, but the floor beneath their feet began to crack.

Just looking through the small window next to the seat, you can't see anything. I had no idea what was going on outside.

"You look at them, I'll go out and see how it's going." Let the four of Honglian look at the two children, Wang Zhi immediately took out the Gauss pistol and walked out.

- He can't control his power yet. It is more convenient to deal with troubles that are not too complicated, or it is more convenient to use guns, otherwise on such a fragile means of transport, the trouble is easy to become more troublesome.

Following the path in his memory, Wang Zhi soon came to the top deck, and at this time, he realized what happened to the loud noise before. The ship has run into a bandit, or rather an air thief.

To the left of the ship, there is also a smaller ship. It is very much in line with the image of the spaceship in Wang Zhi's mind, with a sail, and a very abstract pattern is drawn on the high sail, so abstract that Wang Zhi can't see what it is. It should be a sign that represents the identity of this group of air thieves.

The biggest difference between an air pirate ship and a spaceship. In addition to the fact that it has sails, there are also cannons with black holes on both sides of the ship, which are very old-fashioned smoothbore guns, but they shoot not cannonballs, but barbs with iron chains, a bit like the kind of spearguns used to catch whales, but it is more powerful than cannonballs, and Wang Zhi saw a big hook shot to the stern of the ship. Bombed off the deck with a range of almost ten meters, and then clinged to the ship.

At this time, four chains had already been shot onto the ship. Make it tightly connected to the air pirate ship, and you can't run.

Then several small spaceships flew out of the air thief ship, as if they wanted to rely on these small spaceships to forcibly board the ship, but then Wang Zhi found that he was wrong, the speed of those small spaceships was fast, and they quickly circled around the spaceship, and then the bow of the small ship showed a black hole in the muzzle, only to hear a boom in unison, several small spaceships fired at the same time, but their muzzles were not chain guns, but huge fireballs.

Damn, this is the rhythm of trying to kill and sink this ship!

Sensing the idea of the air thief, Wang Zhi immediately ran back, there were too many small spaceships and they were too scattered, even if he shot, he couldn't block all the shells, this spaceship would inevitably be sunk, and now the important thing was to feel like going back to protect his own people.

In the midst of the artillery fire, Wang Zhi, who had already taken out the bamboo dragonfly, walked quickly, and quickly ran back to the rest cabin, at this time, Honglian came over with a worried face and asked: "Mr. Wang Zhi, this spaceship is about to land, what should we do?" ”

"How do you know the ship is going down?" Wang Zhi asked curiously, the air pirate ship was on the other side of the spaceship, they shouldn't be able to see the situation there.

"The radio said that the spacecraft was attacked by an air pirate group, and the hull was seriously damaged, and it was about to make an emergency landing." Honglian explained, "Wang Zhi, let's go outside, and leave as soon as the spaceship lands!" ”

"Aren't those empty thieves here for money? Why did you want to destroy this spaceship as soon as you came up? Wang Zhi asked very incomprehensibly, except for those sent by your enemies, robbers and robbers are generally for money, and isn't the most valuable thing on this spaceship itself? If the spaceship is shot down and falls to a height of several hundred meters, but there is nothing left, why would they choose such a means to harm others and themselves?

"Doesn't the air thieves usually force the ship to land first, and then attack on the ground?" Honglian asked rhetorically, looking at Wang Zhi with the eyes of looking at aliens, how could this person not even understand these common senses?

"If you accidentally break the spaceship and crash it, won't those air thieves get nothing?"

"How so!" Honglian looked at Wang Zhi with strange eyes: "Every spaceship is protected by a magic array, and it will not crash." ”

"No wonder." Now Wang Zhi somewhat understands the thoughts of those air thieves, because the human beings in this world generally can't fly, and it is difficult for the air thieves to attack and occupy the spaceship in the air, and it is impossible to send people over in large quantities by some means, so they can only be sent over in batches, but this is easy to be killed by the escorts and passengers on the spaceship, and the gains outweigh the losses, so they chose to shoot down the spacecraft first, and then attack from the ground, anyway, the spacecraft will not crash, and they are not afraid of accidentally destroying the goods.

"In such a remote route, why do you encounter air thieves?" Starshu muttered quietly.

In the Arad continent, which is full of bandits and bandits, there are actually very few air bandits, one is because the threshold is too high - at least one spaceship. As a large magic-driven flying machine, the technical threshold of the spaceship is very high, and it is also very difficult to build. A large number of enchanters are required, and currently on the continent of Arad, only the Wizards' Guild can independently create a spaceship. Even if other groups and forces want to build spaceships, they are absolutely inseparable from the technical support of the Mage Guild, which makes the number of spaceships very small, and the difficulty of getting a spaceship to become an air thief group is almost equivalent to obtaining the position of the city lord of a medium-sized city.

The second is because official forces such as the Delos Empire, the Dark Elf Realm, and even the Adventurer Alliance are also very strong in encircling and suppressing these air bandits, basically hearing that there are air bandits somewhere. The encirclement and suppression army will go wherever it goes. Because compared to the land bandit groups that are more numerous and often lurk in the city, the air bandits are more dangerous, because they can directly ignore the city defense system of some small towns and loot them directly. Moreover, compared to the encirclement and suppression of the land bandit group, the victory of the encirclement and suppression of the air bandit group is more clear, and destroying or capturing their spaceship is a victory.

Because of the strong encirclement and suppression of official forces, the number of air thieves is very small. Basically, no more than two digits. Hiding in the wilderness all year round, once it appears, it will definitely set off a big news, the perennial life in hiding in Tibet makes the members of the air thieves very brutal, and in order not to leak the traces, the target is often not left alive, on the Arad continent, the air thieves almost replace the image of other fantasy world demons. Some adults scare disobedient children and often say things like "If you don't obey the air thieves, you will be arrested", which shows that the air thieves are almost the role that can stop children crying on the Arad continent.

I heard that there was an attack by the bandits. The noble people sitting in the lounge, the men were frightened like hoarfrost, the women were frightened, and there was even a woman dressed as a noblewoman who took out a dagger and wanted to commit suicide, so as not to fall into the hands of the air thieves and be humiliated.

Faced with such a loyal woman, Wang Zhi immediately wanted to stop her, but was preempted by others.

A young man with a saber held the noblewoman's hand holding the dagger and prevented her from committing suicide.

"This lady, and everyone here, please don't give up hope, I, the captain of the Tianluo spaceship escort team, the imperial intermediate knight Fan Lunding, will use this sword in my hand and my own life to protect the safety of your lives and property."

Fan Lunding looks good, with the sword in his hand that represents strength, it does give people a sense of security, many noble ladies and girls looked at Fan Lunding, and red hearts appeared in their eyes, especially the noble lady who had just been rescued by him, and just now she was willing to take off her clothes and sleep with Fan Lunding.

In short, under the activity of the Imperial Intermediate Knight Van Lundin, the pessimism in the first class was finally suppressed.

Looking at the heavily armed escorts next to Fan Lunding, Wang Zhi was in a bad mood, sure enough, no matter what the world was, the first people to be protected after the accident were a small number of upper-class people.

Just when Wang Zhi was full of emotion, the radio in the spacecraft sounded again: "Passengers, please pay attention, the spacecraft is about to make a forced landing, please hold on to the fixed objects around you to avoid falling." ”

After the radio sounded, Red Lotus pulled the little boy, Bell held the little girl, the foursome immediately returned to their seats and sat down, and the others probably did the same thing, even the escorts also found a place to help them, looking nervous.

In the end, the little boy couldn't stand the fear in his heart and cried out with the little girl.

So in the noise, the spacecraft made an emergency landing, but this forced landing was completely different from what Wang Zhi imagined.

As soon as the crash landing began, a violent feeling of weightlessness was heard, as if falling off a cliff.

"The forced landing of the fart, this is obviously a direct fall!"

What is the gravitational acceleration of the Arad continent Wang Zhi doesn't know, anyway, the spacecraft is falling from this height now, and it takes less than five seconds to stop, and a huge force supports the spacecraft that is falling rapidly, and then lands smoothly, presumably this is the anti-fall mechanism of the spacecraft, the customer experience is too poor, you must give it a bad review.

Thinking like this, Wang Zhi stood up from his seat, the trouble has just begun!

"Do you want to take them with you?" Wang Zhi looked at the little boy and the little girl, and asked the red lotus, "What about the two of them?" The sword has no eyes, and it is dangerous to carry them. ”

"But it's even more dangerous to leave them here alone." Bell immediately retorted.

"Then you can stay here, presumably those guards will stay here, this place is still easier to defend than outside." Wang Zhi said that it is unrealistic to expect the delicate and expensive passengers here to muster up the courage to escape, and that sticking to this place is their only choice.

"What about you?" Honglian looked at Wang Zhi and asked.

"Go out and see if you can kill those air thieves, I still count on this ship to take me to the Dark City!" Wang Zhi said that he had taken a fancy to the spaceship of the Sky Thief, although the ship had no practical value for him, but the research value was still very high.

Walking out of the rest cabin, Wang Zhi found that there was already chaos below, and the passengers in other cabins had run out, and they were retreating in a very unorganized manner under the organization of the spacecraft crew.

As soon as they heard that the air thieves were coming, most people's first thought was to escape, and even if a few brave or wise people wanted to organize a human resistance, they were drowned in the sea of people and had to run out with the flow of people.

But now they want to escape, it is too unrealistic, because the air pirate ship in the sky has caught up, and the air pirate ship, which is two sizes smaller than the spaceship, floats in the air, shrouding the crowd on the deck in its shadow, which is particularly oppressive.

And the small ships that destroyed the spaceship also fell, wandering around the spacecraft like hyenas staring at their prey.

Suddenly, the muzzle of a small ship lit up and was aimed at the crowd on deck as they were fleeing.

As a person who has not yet extinguished the conscience of heaven, and in order not to let this spaceship be too damaged, Wang Zhi made a move, wearing a bamboo dragonfly, he flew over with the cannonball that flew with the sound of breaking the air, and at the moment when he was about to touch the cannonball, Wang Zhi turned sideways to the cannonball, clenched one hand into a fist, and used all his strength to slam away in the direction where the cannonball was flying.

Bang!

The huge vibration force suddenly erupted, Wang Zhi's body was torn apart by the powerful shock in an instant, turning into a scattered flame, in the other direction, the strong vibration wave will carry the powerful kinetic energy of the cannonball back, even the small spaceship that fired the cannonball and another small spaceship next to it were also affected, and they were torn apart in the vibration wave.

In the blink of an eye, two spaceships were destroyed from afar, and Wang Zhi, who recondensed into a human form in the air, immediately received a large number of excited and grateful eyes, and his heroic posture completely fell in the eyes of those people on the deck.
