Chapter 106: Assault (II)
Saleen was breathing a sigh of relief when a high-pitched magical alarm suddenly sounded in his ears. Before he could figure out what was going on, a huge stone fell from the sky and landed in the sea on the side of the ship, stirring up a huge column of water.
Salin leaned in towards Rex, and he saw that Juno's face was not right.
"Philosopher's Stone Cannon!" Rex cried out in surprise as he recognized the thing.
The magic stone cannon and the magic cannon are only slightly different in pronunciation, but the difference is huge. The magic cannon is a kind of magic weapon left over from ancient times, shooting fire magic, and the magic stone cannon is an ordinary weapon that is driven by magic and is more accurate than the magic trebuchet.
It's just that the stone is more than a meter in diameter, and if it hits a hunting ship, it may cause some kind of damage.
Juno frowned, opened the hatch, and directly used the Wind Soaring Technique, rushing into the sky. The attack distance of the magic stone cannon is not long, two or three miles is already the limit. He saw a ship in the distance, a pirate ship flying the skull flag.
Juno's heart was full of anger, these damn pirates dared to enter the sea area controlled by Alchemy City, it seems that he should talk to those elders after he goes back, and he wants to expand the scope of Alchemy City's attack. This time, he must sink the pirate ship and teach them a lesson.
"Oops!" Salin cried out as he saw Juno flying away.
"What?" Rex asked Salin, who didn't see anything wrong.
"It's a trap, Juno is in danger!'s target is the ironclad!" Salin's cold vision activated, and he saw through that the pirate ship at sea was a magical image. Although he also thought it was incredible, there was no doubt that behind this magical image was a huge ship.
Salin was bitter, it had been a day since the hunting ship left the Devil's Horn, and it had sailed at least a few hundred miles, and if the boat capsized here, it would be too difficult to swim back.
Hearing Saleen's words, Rex also released his cold vision to observe the pirate ship in the distance, Juno's figure approached quickly, suddenly crashed into a ripple, and disappeared.
"Rex, find a way to escape, do you remember the location of the lifeboat?" Salin was in a hurry, and the other party drove the kraken over, just to attract the attention of the hunting ship and the ironclad ship, so that he could sneak closer and set a trap. Salin didn't think that he could keep this ship, how could the people who dared to challenge Alchemy City do something they were not sure of.
"I remember. Daniel instinctively sensed danger, and this instinct was cultivated by him on the run. He is a necromancer, he cannot mobilize the power of the elements, and his survivability at sea is not as good as Sarin's, and now he is more anxious than anyone else.
"Let's go. Salin took Rex's hand, regardless of her thoughts, and followed Daniel out of the cabin before they left, and with a single shot of the magic stone cannon hit the porthole on the third floor, smashing the crystal porthole and collapsing one wall.
The stones in the sky rained down, the hunting ship was not a warship, and it was not equipped with metal armor, and thousands of catties of stones fell in the air, and the power was comparable to magic. In the blink of an eye, a huge hole had appeared in the front deck, the bow of the ship was also hit by a stone cannon, and the two puppets guarding the alchemy crossbow were smashed into the air, and the alchemy crossbow was also destroyed.
Seeing Juno's disappearance, the two sixth-level magicians also flew into the sky and pounced in the direction of the pirate ship. When Salin saw this, he had no hope. These two magicians are strong enough, but unfortunately they don't have brains. The other party is waiting for you to go.
Daniel didn't care if anyone else was alive or dead, and he went straight to the back deck. There is a lifeboat on each side of the stern. The sailors were shaking the winch and trying to lower the lifeboats. A stone that fell from the sky smashed accurately on the back deck, and immediately flesh and blood flew everywhere. Saleen unleashed two ice blades from afar, severing the cable from which the lifeboat was suspended. Only one of the two lifeboats landed firmly on the surface of the sea, making a loud crashing sound.
Another lifeboat rolled over, decked down, and plunged into the sea.
Daniel took the lead and jumped straight to the surface. Rex blessed everyone with the wind speed technique, and she didn't have to think about it to know that this time she was in huge trouble.
The majesty of Alchemy City has not been challenged for hundreds of years. The first time there was an attack on Alchemy City, he was caught up by himself, was this too bad luck?
Rex, Schika, and Neris jumped into the lifeboat accurately, and Saleen and Daniel overboard. Sarin was more nimble than a fish in the water, and he grabbed Daniel by the neck and threw him into the lifeboat, which was the only time he flipped onto the boat.
The lifeboat is more than ten meters long, there are no oars, and the rear cabin is equipped with alchemy machinery, and the magic core has long been inlaid. Saleen didn't dare to expect the ship to go far, and he said to Rex, "Find a way to start it." ”
Rex nodded, this thing is simple, it's just that she won't rudder.
With a loud bang, another magic stone cannon hit the hunting ship, and after the opponent's magic image, it seemed that a huge fleet was hidden, and such a dense stone cannon attack, even if it was not accurate, the hunting ship could not afford it.
"Daniel, you're at the helm. Salin gave the order directly, and Daniel was obedient this time, went straight to the back, and personally took control of the rudder.
"Salin, where are we going?"
Saleen was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the way back to the Devil's Horn might have been cut off. "Northeast, how far can you go. ”
He didn't want to bury the people of Alchemy City, as long as there was a ship, his people would not die. Both he and Rex carry a lot of food with them, and it has become a habit. Even if you go deep into the sea, as long as you don't encounter a storm, you won't be in much danger. As for the monsters in the sea, let's avoid the immediate crisis first.
The most dangerous of all are Shika and Daniel, and without the boat, it will be difficult for these two men to survive. Saleen doesn't need to breathe in the water at all, and he is not afraid of low temperatures. Neris is even more so. Rex has the ability to fly, and he will definitely be able to find land before the scrolls are depleted.
Daniel doesn't talk nonsense, he knows that life and death are the stakes, and after Rex activates the alchemy machine, he controls the direction and heads to the depths of the sea.
"Help me!"
A human head appeared on the surface of the sea, but it was Sandru who had fallen into the water. Rex didn't stop at all, and Daniel simply hit the bow of the boat. With a bang, Sandru was caught off guard and was hit by a lifeboat and sank underwater. In this case, Rex didn't dare to get an outsider on the ship, especially since this person had a conflict with Saleen.
The lifeboat was originally prepared for escape, and if the hunting boat encountered a powerful demonic beast in the sea, it might sink, and the speed of this small boat should at least exceed that of most of the demonic beasts in the sea. Driving the alchemy machinery with all its might, the six oars on both sides of the dinghy rotated rapidly, breaking a white line on the surface of the sea and rushing towards the northwest.
There was no ambush in this direction, and Saleen turned around and saw that the magic image had disappeared, and a huge battleship appeared on the surface of the sea, facing the approaching ironclad ship. The hunting ship that had been on was already halfway sunk, and Salin took a deep breath, took out a scroll, and opened it.
A thick white fog spread out and surrounded the dinghy. Although it can't hide its whereabouts, at least when it is discovered, it will not be targeted by the Philosopher's Stone Cannon.
The attacking battleship did not bother to deal with a lifeboat, and Saleen's ship sped away without looking back. He didn't think that the ironclad ship of Alchemy City could deal with that huge warship, and the other party could create such a huge magical image on the sea, and there were at least three or more magicians.
The ironclad ship was also large enough, but it was an alchemy ship for processing prey, and it was not equipped with any weapons for naval warfare. Most of the ships are also full of swordsmen, and the strongest magician, Juno, is probably dead.
The lifeboat was too small to be fitted with a magic compass, but fortunately, Daniel was used to running on the sea, looking at the sun to discern the direction, and ran hundreds of miles in one go, and with a rattle in the alchemy machinery, all the oars stopped rotating.
The boat stopped, and Salin said: "It's not safe here, the other party has a magic compass, as long as you send a flying puppet, you can find us." ”
Daniel looked at the alchemy machinery that had stopped working, and said worriedly: "This thing has to be opened by a special alchemy instrument, and it is not possible to dismantle it hard." ”
"Rex, make four oars. "Salin looked everywhere he came, and the sea was vast, and there was no trace of any enemy. A seabird landed in the air and stopped at the bow of the boat, looking curiously at several people on board.
Rex didn't say much, she took out two huge monster leg bones from the Ring of the HRE, gave them two hand saws to Shika and Neris, and said, "Processed into the shape of an oar, hurry up." ”
Where did she have the materials to make oars, in Dragon's Tooth Town, she only snatched weapons and armor, and didn't dare to be interested in other materials at all. Daniel didn't understand Saleen's intentions yet, but he didn't dare ask.
Nellis and Sika began to work on the monster's leg bones, and Rex walked to the deck, looked left and right, and took out the metal components to reinforce them on the sides of the ship.
The fog had long since cleared, and the sea breeze was blowing, and Daniel shivered, feeling a little cold. Saleen unleashed a Chunlin spell on Daniel and walked up to the deck himself to watch Rex at work.
"Not against me. Rex said to Salin as he reinforced the ship's side.
"I know, I'm going to have to run fast. ”
"Help me. Rex threw Salin a drawing, and Saleen looked at the drawing and began to help Rex install the metal parts on the ship's side. Soon, the leg bones of the monster were processed, and Rex took out two blade guns, inserted them into a section of the leg bone, and drilled a few more holes in one-third of the leg bone to fix a metal rod.
Insert the metal rods into the metal holes in the sides of the boat, and the two large oars are about the same. Daniel looked at the huge oar, a little dazed. Who can shake this oar?
Rex smiled, and Daniel suddenly understood, and he was deeply glad to see Rex take out the constructed puppet and put it on the deck. If you don't have an elemental mage, your own puppets can't be driven by a magic core, and this method can't be used.
Necromancers may be strong in combat, but they don't have as many uses as elemental mages.
Two constructed golems were placed on deck, one of them rocking the oars and the other sitting in the back ready to be replaced. It's good to construct a puppet for anything, but it consumes the core too quickly. Fortunately, rocking the oars is not a complicated matter, and Rex does not need to control the golem at all times. The bone paddle shook rapidly, and Daniel glanced at it, then went back to the back and continued to rudder.
The lifeboat was restarted, but it was not half as fast as it had been. Looking at the red words falling from the west, Salin said worriedly: "Rex, do you have a chart?"
