Chapter 420: Windfall (II)
【First Update】
Saleen hurried out of the sea. The Dragonwreck Battleship took the lead, followed by the Bone Battleship. The Dragonwreck Battleship is controlled by Neris, and in the middle of the fleet, there is the Arago Battleship. Under the control of the mechanical undead, the ancient battleship was filled with a ninth-level magic core, and its speed increased to eighty miles.
This ancient warship can create a huge area of water mist, and in this area, the perception cannot be extended too far, and the magic compass fails. It is equivalent to the whereabouts of the ancient battleship hidden, and even a ninth-level mage cannot find the target in the fog within a range of hundreds of miles.
Fog on the sea is a very common thing, when the ancient warship travels, not only does it create fog, but it also does not make any sound, to be precise, the sound made by the alchemy machinery is absorbed by the battleship itself, and the sound released by the battleship is the sound of the waves, which is integrated with the surrounding environment.
The sounds of the twelve white bone battleships and dragon skeleton battleships were also hidden by the ancient battleships. However, the weapons on the deck of this desolate battleship were all swept away by the dragon wreck battleship. Salin was unprepared, and after capturing the battleship, the Aragaku battleship was equivalent to having no means of attack.
The manipulation of the Dragonwreck Battleship was finally handed over to Naris, who turned into an undead and steered the Dragonwreck Battleship to the front of the fleet. The coercion of the dragon wreck battleship itself was no longer released, and more demonic beasts and fish in the sea followed the fleet to the north, heading straight for the frozen sea.
There are many fierce and brutal high-level creatures in these fish and magical beasts that follow the fleet, but now, everyone is using the water brought out by the fleet to save their physical strength and not attack each other. Unless there is blood, these monsters are all fine.
None of the birds in the sky spotted the fleet, and avoided the fog at sea.
When the fleet was more than 8,000 miles from the city of Metatrin, it docked on the edge of an island. One side of the island is almost vertical, as if it were a fractured mountain.
The length of the ancient warship is more than 1,000 meters, but the draft is not as terrible as imagined, and the draft of more than 60 meters is not a problem to dock at the port of Metatrin City. This battleship is now empty, the draft is even shallower, this island is more than five miles long, and it is safe for the ancient warship to dock on it.
Not to mention the stones, even the soil on this island is rich in metals. The magic compass was completely ineffective at this point. What's even more strange is that the sky here is full of strange power, and all the light from the sky has been refracted several times before it is sprinkled, and it is impossible to identify the direction by the star map.
The fleet was able to come to the island by relying on the Akiba Alchemy Ship to find a path along the submarine mountain range underwater, and then command the surface warships to come to the island.
The fleet had to turn north from this island, where a steady current appeared every week, and only by following this weak and untraceable current could the fleet cross a dangerous stretch of sea and continue northward.
Saleen's fleet docked here to wait for the current to emerge from a tiny creature with an incomparably powerful devouring power, and in this sea area, mountains of metal had been deposited on the ocean floor, all of which were excreted by this unknown small creature.
These creatures are red, and the ocean is red for a hundred miles north of the nameless island, and any ship that wants to cross this ocean. will be attacked, and will not stop until the ship disintegrates.
The Red Ocean is more than 3,000 miles long, and it is safe to cross this section of the sea route.
The demonic beasts that followed the fleet also dispersed at this time, and continued to move eastward, moving deeper into the sea, and the fleet began to rest, and the bone battleship received a lot of attacks along the way and needed to be repaired. The human mages and warriors on the Dragonwreck Battleship have to rest for a few days.
At this time, Salin came to the ancient warship to check what he had obtained.
The clones of the mechanical undead are now all powerful, and there are many metal puppets of the Yunliu people on the ancient battleship, as well as more spare equipment, which are all devoured by the clones of the mechanical undead, and the mechanical undead themselves have advanced to the ninth level and controlled the entire battleship, and there is still the spare energy to create more clones and become warriors on the battleship.
These mechanical undead clones are golden one by one, with four arms, about three meters and five meters high, and all the weapons are hidden in the body, ready to be taken out to fight. The mechanical undead is also helpless, his soul is controlled by Salin, and he can't continue to advance, so he has to split the swelling soul fire to create more clones.
The upper three floors of the ancient battleship have all been transformed by the Yunliu people, and even the offensive weapons are made by the Yunliu people themselves. The weapons that originally belonged to the Araku battleship were dismantled and left on Dragon Island.
However, below the third floor of the ancient battleship, there are still fifteen floors that have not been opened. It's not that the iron-blooded Grand Duke doesn't want to open it, but the ancient battleship is too strong, and the cabins below are all airtight, and forcibly opening it will not only cost a lot of money, but also have unexpected dangers. For example, the ancient warriors in some cabins, once the cabins are destroyed, will be resurrected, killing anyone who tries to enter the battleship.
In order to clean up the upper three floors and open up the passage into the core power cabin, the iron-blooded Grand Duke had already paid a huge price, so he didn't dare to continue to explore downward, so he could only take his time.
The mechanical undead invades in a way that no creature can have, and he can devour all kinds of metal and transform into a part of his own body. At the same time, the mechanical undead can also devour the power of the soul, the power of flesh and blood, and even the power of some magic cores.
This kind of creature that devours madly, but does not excrete, because it is not controlled, will eventually destroy itself. It's just that the soul fire of the mechanical undead is very powerful and special, and when he destroys himself. I'm afraid a mid-plane is going to be destroyed.
Salin is not worried now, the mechanical undead themselves are greedy, but they are under his own eternal control, and he must obtain his own consent if he wants to advance. Devouring the Ancient Battleship, it would have been possible to advance it to the tenth level, after all, every piece of metal on the Ancient Battleship is more expensive, rare, and powerful than the known battleship metal.
There are now 1,460 clones of the mechanical undead, of which 360 work under the winged skeletons to help defend the Dragonskelet. On the ancient battleship, there are also 1,100 clones of the mechanical undead. That's how mechanical undead work. Limit yourself to advancement. When these doppelgangers died, the soul fire dissipated and could no longer be absorbed back into his body.
The doppelganger of the mechanical undead, the soul fire is weak after all, and it is impossible to achieve true immortality.
The deck of the ancient battleship has been repaired, and the mechanical undead have searched for the blueprints of the entire battleship, although it is only a backup blueprint of the dead left by the ancients, but it is enough. According to the original structure, the mechanical undead has restored the upper three layers of the ancient battleship, including replicating various ancient weapons on the deck.
These ancient weapons, the worst of which also need to be driven by a ninth-level magic core, if fully equipped, this ancient warship will have a combat power equivalent to more than a dozen fleets of Yunliu.
These drawings alone have already made Saleen equal to an outbreak.
Saleen also saw the flying equipment copied by the mechanical undead, which was a metal creature more than thirty meters long, with huge wings, obviously four seats on it, and the equipment that could be carried, apparently a magic cannon.
However, the magic cannon copied by the mechanical undead is not as powerful as the miniature magic cannon that Salin obtained. It consumes a ninth-level magic core, and its effect is only a little stronger than that of a magic trebuchet, and the attack distance is ten miles.
The power of this magic cannon can be adjusted, but unfortunately the mechanical undead can only simply copy the magic patterns on the drawing, but it can't make the equipment really have the strongest attributes.
Salin also knew that he was a little greedy, and the mechanical undead could not copy the real equipment, but the drawings were firmly memorized by him, and he could study and refine them little by little. The number of mages in Metatrin City is also in the thousands, and it refers to mages above the three poles. With so many mages working collectively, it would soon be possible to create equipment that only the First Dynasty had.
The mage from Qin Yin is not the kind of person who is Tamenmu. The first advantage of Master Qin Yin is erudition, and there are very few Master Qin Yin who practice magic just to fight.
The characteristics of Yunliu mages are that they are eager for quick success, hoping that their own combat power will be strong, and they neglect the study of the basics of magic. The Cloud Mage would rather spend more time practicing powerful magic than doing any magic experiments to test a magic theory.
So the Iron and Blood Grand Duke has thousands of mages. However, he couldn't study the purpose of the weapons on the deck of the ancient warship, so he could only disassemble them and replace them with the Yunliu people's own magic equipment.
What really surprised Salin was that he saw the magic stone cannon from the First Dynasty, which fired the entire magic stone projectile and exploded violently after hitting the target, rather than exploding over the enemy at the budgeted distance. This magic stone cannon from the First Dynasty has an attack range of more than ten miles, and if it is a real First Dynasty equipment, the attack range will be even farther.
This magic stone cannon has a long attack range, a fast rate of fire, and a very powerful attack power. The Magic Stone Cannon is equipped with an Elemental Computing Array instrument, which allows the shooter to aim at the target quickly and intuitively, without the need for the mage to control it himself.
The biggest flaw of Salin's current magic stone cannon is that it needs to be controlled by a magician, otherwise it will be inaccurate. This Elemental Computing Array instrument can be said to have turned Saleen's long-range attack weapons into precision strike equipment.
Sarin doesn't need to be in a hurry to study other things, but this elemental computing array instrument, Sarin must copy it as soon as possible and equip it with his elite troops.
"Phantom Fang, you copy all the drawings to me, and I want the most accurate drawings before leaving this island. Saleen patrolled the stern from the deck and said to the mechanical undead clone beside him. The weapons on the deck radiated a cold glow, and a row of seven-meter-long iron arrows pointed at the sky, as if ready to shoot down enemies approaching the sky.
"Yes, my master. The mechanical undead replied weakly.
