"The torpedo compartment was penetrated, and the alchemy warheads were all destroyed!"

The first mate's roar came.

At the same time there was another explosion.

"The third watertight compartment was destroyed, and someone was injured!"

The chief engineer shouted.

"It's the Dragon King, and the Dragon King is attacking the bottom of the ship!"

A third explosion sounded, and someone heard the familiar melody and immediately recognized where the fiery explosion had come from.

It was the Spirit of Bronze and Fire King's Flame, a symbol of the king's wrath, the power that Konstantin had unleashed in public at the Kassel Academy.

Three explosions in a row almost caused Vidal to flip on its side on the spot.

The Vidal had set sail in search of the Dragonlord, and now they had met him, but the ship that had been heavily armed to slay the dragon had been half destroyed.

"Damn it!"

Caesar grabbed the walkie-talkie and immediately roared.

"Start the engine and accelerate, and standing still will be his target!"

Although they met the Dragon King Norton before Su Mo, this chance encounter was obviously not so beneficial to them.

They originally wanted to sneak up on Norton, and the best case was to directly attack Norton, which was still hatching, but Norton not only didn't form a cocoon, but chose to hide and attack them.

Now that the three alchemical warheads of the Storm Torpedo have all been destroyed, the strongest weapon that the Gattuso family has worked so hard to obtain is completely scrapped, and the current Vidal is basically bare-handed in the face of the Dragon King Norton, leaving only some conventional weapons.

Can you use these conventional weapons to defeat Norton? Caesar didn't know.

But he knew that what they should think about now was how to get rid of Norton's attack, otherwise they might not have the life to slay the dragon.

Under Caesar's command, the Vidal's engines roared and zigzag.

"What about sonar and infrared detectors? Check the target location! ”

Caesar yelled at the second mate.

“…… It's all gone, either it's been demolished, or the line is destroyed by the explosion just now! ”

The second deputy said with a pale face.

Not only have they now lost their weapons against the enemy, but they have become blind themselves, and most of the equipment they are proud of is discarded as soon as they see it.

“…… We miscalculated our opponents, the Dragon King himself was once human, and he knows how to deal with human weapons! ”

Caesar took a deep breath.

The opponent he faces is not the same as the Dragon Quest he imagined, as the textbook says, the Dragon King is an intelligent life form, not a beast, and they also know tactics!

Now the Vidal was galloping like a wild horse, but they didn't even know where the enemy was.

Was the dragon king thrown into the river before him, or was it ......

"Caesar, why do I think that dragon king didn't leave at all?"

Fingal said tremblingly.

"Why do you say that, do you see anything?"

Caesar immediately asked, only Fingal saw the appearance of the dragon king clearly, and his opinion was worth considering.

"No, it's not a clue, it's fog...... Don't you think this mist is a little abnormal? ”

Fingal prompted.

Hearing him say this, Caesar noticed that there was indeed something wrong with the surrounding fog, a little too thick.

It's not early morning or late afternoon, so it shouldn't be so easy to fog up.

He immediately looked at the surface of the water and saw that the fog was rising from the surface of the water, and there was a faint heat, indicating that the fog was caused by the evaporation of the river water.

"It's the King of Bronze and Fire, who heats the river!"

Caesar immediately guessed the cause of the fog and was immediately startled.

"Norton is still on board!"

At the current speed of the Vidal, if Norton was not on the ship, it would not be possible to heat such a large area of water in an instant, and the fog has been following the Vidal all the way, forming a course, indicating that the source of the fog is on the ship.

The worst premonition was hit, no matter how destroyed the Vidal was a strong fortress, but if the Dragon King was not outside the fortress but inside the fortress, then wouldn't they have to fight the bronze and fire lord in close combat?

This is a much more dangerous situation than at the Kassel Academy.

At least there are nearly a thousand students in Kassel Academy, and there are also powerful S-ranks like Su Mo and Eri Uesugi.

Thinking of this, Caesar took a deep breath and continued to order.

"All personnel are on alert, don't attack rashly when you encounter strangers, and report to the command station immediately!"

As he spoke, he picked up the sniper rifle stuffed with dangerous alchemy bullets and rushed to the stern of the ship.

Their dragon slaying plan this time mainly relied on alchemy weapons, and there were not many fighters on the ship, after all, in the face of the dragon king, the combat power of ordinary half-bloods was meaningless, and if it really fell into the situation of letting them fight face to face with the dragon king, it would be useless to take any defensive measures.

But now, with the worst happening, Caesar didn't want to sit still.

Rushing towards the hull, Caesar shouted loudly.

"Call for support! Squad B was raided by Dragon King Norton and asked for support from Captain Su Mo of Squad A! ”

Although he wants to compete with Su Mo, the life of the crew is in danger, and he is about to be wiped out by Norton, and he can't abandon his companions because of his personal honor.

"I received a request, and I am requesting support from Executive Officer Su Mo, please wait!"

Nomana's reassuring voice rang out.

Then, without waiting for Caesar to hesitate to go to the first floor, he heard Norma's voice again.

"An instance suspected of being Dragon King Norton has been searched, in front of the last watertight compartment at the stern, do you want to turn on the navigation service?"

Hearing this, Caesar was overjoyed, and in any case, finding the enemy was the first step in dealing with it.

"Turn on the navigation service, I'll go to the watertight compartment right now and notify the others to evacuate!"

"The evacuation notice has been completed, but it is recommended that you move by a different route."

Norma said very crisply.

"A different route?"

Caesar suddenly stopped.

Although the task was urgent, he took the time to familiarize himself with the ship and knew its structure very well.

There is only one way to the watertight cabin, what else can I do?

His face was full of doubt, but he wasn't agitated, because he knew that Norma wouldn't be unfocused.

"Based on your previous fitness assessments, I judge that you will be able to go straight up the bridge, and if you want to find Norton, you can climb up and see it!"

Norma replied calmly.

"Climb up?"

Caesar had doubts, but he complied.

He climbed up the bridge in twos and threes to a height where he could look at the stern, and before he could ask anything, he heard another violent explosion.

"The sixth watertight compartment is destroyed!"

The Chief Engineer reported again.

Three of the six watertight compartments have already been destroyed, and one more will sink the ship.

In the face of such dangerous information, Caesar didn't even have room to reply, and at this moment, he was extremely nervous and stared at the stern of the ship to get the blue-gray figure, which was by no means the posture that a human should have.

"Caesar Cadet, I suggest you adjust the angle of the camera on your phone, the camera in the stern of the ship is broken, and I can't monitor the environment there."

Norma said again.

Caesar was suddenly surprised.

Norma doesn't have the ability to find out on her own, she can only analyze the data she has, and after the Vidal loses its sensor, it is equivalent to destroying Norma's eyes, but Norma has other eyes, such as various cameras installed in the ship.

Previously, she had found traces of the dragon king Norton inside the hull through the camera, but now the camera was destroyed by the explosion, and she could only use Caesar's mobile phone.

Caesar did not hesitate and immediately obeyed Norma's orders.

While providing unimaginable convenience, smart phones also have unimaginable backdoors, and these devices are not defenseless against Norma.

"After testing, the appearance of this entity can cope with Ronald Don, referring to the performance of Constantine, the king of bronze and fire, the entity is Konstantin's elder brother, and after analysis, the individual in front of him is determined to be Norton, the dragon king!"

Norma quickly gave the results of her observations and confirmed her identity.

Caesar had already liberated the Weasel by this time.

So he could hear Norton's heartbeat like the drums of war, and the familiar chanting.

Flame of the Spirit!

If he were to destroy one more watertight compartment, the Vidal would inevitably sink the ship.

Without hesitation, Caesar fired a three-pronged shot at Norton with a high-risk alchemy bullet with a red primer.

"Whew! Shout! Shout! ”

The moment the sniper rifle was fired, Jun Yan's power also exploded!

With the dragon king's control over the spirit of speech, the time required for chanting is infinitely close to zero.

"Bang!"

A fourth violent explosion erupted, and Caesar's heart sank.

Not to mention whether his bullets can damage the Dragon King Norton, even if he could, the fourth watertight chamber would be destroyed under this explosion, and the Vidal would still not be able to escape the sinking end.

Although there were not many people on board, the lifeboats had been damaged several in previous explosions and were not enough now.

Not to mention, there are also dragon kings around them, and even if they get on the lifeboat, they will be hunted by the dragon kings one by one.

Just when he was worried about this, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Beside the dragon king Norton, there seems to be a human heartbeat!

And the explosion this time is also a little strange!

Caesar's eyes widened.

At this point, the smoke and dust cleared, revealing the situation at the point of confrontation.

The stern of the Dragonlord Norton was in tatters, ready to break away from the hull at any moment, but the position of the fourth watertight compartment was almost intact.

Immediately, a familiar voice appeared.

"Ahem! It is worthy of the crown of the dragon king, and the hasty shot is so terrifying! ”

Dressed in a white suit, a man with ice blue eyes and a strange golden eye was half-kneeling on the ground, coughing up a little blood slightly from his mouth, and his tone was still cold.

"Patsy!"

Caesar was overjoyed.

It's Patsy's dustless land, and he's holding out Norton's royal flames!

Although Passy's Dustless Land realm was directly shattered by the power of Jun Yan, he kept the watertight chamber, so there was not much sound of metal shattering in the explosion.

As if hearing Caesar's voice, Patcy glanced back at him and shouted respectfully.

"Good afternoon, young master."

His voice was not loud, but he believed Caesar could hear it.

In the style of the Gattuso family, how could it really be that Caesar was thrown into the adventure like this?

It doesn't matter if Schneider doesn't assign them members of the executive department, they can also arrange trustworthy people to go in themselves.

It's true that Patsy is Frost's secretary, but at the same time, he has another name - the war machine of the Gattuso family.

Able to block the king's wrath, Parsy's strength is indeed beyond Caesar's expectations, even if the defense effect of the Dustless Land is excellent, this level of defense strength has exceeded the level of ordinary A-class hybrids.

However, as a defensive type of Yan Ling, he couldn't bear it after taking it, and this performance looked a little far from Su Mo and Eri Yi as S-level.

At the critical moment, Caesar didn't think too much about it, and although Patcy stopped a blow, it seemed that his life might be in danger at any time.

You have to save him!

Caesar rushed desperately with a tiger pounce, threw away the sniper rifle in his hand, and pulled out the desert eagle at his waist.

Simply comparing the performance of the weapon, the Desert Eagle is naturally less powerful and accurate than the sniper rifle.

However, Caesar's two Desert Eagles were different, each with a bullet in its magazine.

A bullet that was roughly polished and as brilliant as a red jewel.

- Philosopher's Stone!

"Whew!"

Without the slightest hesitation, with his talent for shooting and the correction of the Scythe of Words, Caesar fired a bullet made of the Philosopher's Stone, aiming at Norton's chest.

As the result of materializing the spiritual element, this is one of the very few weapons that can have a lethal effect even against the dragon king!

The crimson bullet swirled through the air and shot into the heart of the Dragon King.

However, before he could reach the target's location, he saw a huge splash of water at the stern of the ship.

"Bang!"

Dragon King Norton dives!

There was no time to feel rejoiced, at the moment when Norton dived, Caesar saw the cold and angry eyes cast by the dragon king Norton very clearly.

It was as if it contained a volcano about to erupt, and it was a fury that would bury them all.

What kind of hatred does it take to make this dragon king so angry?

Was it because of the death of his brother Konstantin?

Caesar shuddered slightly.

What he didn't know was that Norton's weakness was anger, he couldn't control his temper, and anger was a common occurrence for him.

Fang Cai's anger was probably only because he was forced back by a mere human being, so he was angry and ashamed!

Originally, he had become a second-generation species, and now he was still suffering from human hands, and if Jörmunga knew about this, wouldn't he have laughed to death?

"Are you alright?"

Aside from the shock of Norton's eyes, Caesar picked up Patsy, who was half-kneeling on the ground.

"It's okay, young master, don't worry about me."

Patsy shook her head and slowly stood up.

"What to do next, I also have a bullet of the Philosopher's Stone in my hand, but the Dragon King has already entered the water, and it will be difficult to hit him again."

Caesar had already used up a philosopher's stone, which was at the bottom of the river and could not be recovered for the time being, and Patsy also had one in his hand, and they had two more chances.

After the alchemy warhead was destroyed, the two bullets left were the only weapons they had left that could pose a deadly threat to the Dragon King.

"Don't worry, he'll be back!"

Remembering Norton's angry eyes, Caesar shook his head.

That's the look that must wipe out all of them, and with such thoughts, there is no need to worry that Norton will escape.

Not to mention, Norton had an absolute advantage, and now he is the prey of this game.

And what they should be worried about now is how to survive Norton's pursuit.

"S-class Su Mo, how long will it take for them to arrive?"

Caesar asked suddenly on his phone.

"The Moniach is already at full speed, and at the current speed, it will take at least seven minutes!"

Norma answered.

In other words, they still need to hold on for seven minutes before Su Mo arrives.
