Chapter 290: Small Fish vs. Vultures
"Holy Envoy, it looks like they want to escape!" Seeing that Midi completely abandoned his armor and fled, the captain of the Vulture Battleship immediately made the right judgment at the first time.
Of course, it's just superficially correct.
"That airship feels familiar. It was a few seconds before the Holy Envoy spat out such a sentence in a hoarse and unpleasant voice like a saw.
Bishop Malan on the side was waiting for this sentence, and when he saw the Holy Envoy asking, he immediately stepped forward and hurriedly said: "Lord Holy Envoy, if the villain is not mistaken, that airship should be the narwhal belonging to the Rothschild Chamber of Commerce, which is their largest airship. The owner of the boat is Victoria Rothschild, who is said to be the most promising young person to become the president of the Chamber of Commerce in the future. ”
After getting the auction skills, Midi and Victoria took a whaling boat to the Wind Stream, and the narwhal, as one of the symbols of the Chamber of Commerce, did not leave together.
On the contrary, in order to avoid being suspected by the Blue Truth Cult, Victoria also specially let the narwhal hover near the monsoon group for several days, so even the Holy Envoy from the Great Storm Zone looked familiar.
As for Bishop Ma Lan, the master of the Temple of the Monsoon Boat Regiment, he had seen this airship many times, so he naturally recognized it at a glance. Now the Holy Envoy asked a question, and he immediately sent the answer as soon as possible, not only to pat the horse, but also to atone for his sins.
At first, the Bishop of Malan was ashamed to say that he would be able to reach the Dusk Cemetery within a week.
With the speed of the Vulture Cruiser, he did exactly that.
The problem is that even the Blue Truth Cult has not actually been here, but only obtained the coordinates through intelligence channels, so after arriving in this area, it took several days to find it, and it was not until the Holy Envoy was about to get impatient that Bishop Malan finally found the entrance to the Dusk Cemetery.
And when he found it, he was shocked again, because at the entrance, someone had set up a sentry!
Although the small pioneer boat was destroyed as soon as it was discovered, the mere fact that someone had entered the Twilight Cemetery was enough to disgrace Bishop Malan.
After searching for a long time, he found it, and after finding it, he found that he had been explored, and the combination of these two things made Bishop Malan extremely frightened, and he was afraid that if he was not careful, the Holy Envoy would directly throw him off the battleship and sink into the sea of clouds.
Therefore, at the moment, he is also serving with extra care, just to avoid any more stubble.
"Is the Rothschild Chamber of Commerce, and is our sect connected to them?" asked the Emissary again.
Bishop Malan pondered for a moment, and then replied, "There has always been no dealings with us, but in recent years, the two Victorian brothers have made large donations in various temples, and it seems that they want my sect to be their backing against their sister, who is known as a genius. ”
"What a bunch of rubbish. After hearing this, the holy envoy snorted coldly.
In the sky and sea of clouds, strength is the most important, and it is not impossible to form an alliance, but to form an alliance with outsiders to solve the internal struggle for power and profit, this can only show the incompetence of the parties.
It's just that although this holy envoy sneered at the two brothers with low strength, since he came here to understand and try to grasp some of the general power of the sea of clouds, how could he refuse since he had the meat and feet sent to the door?
"However, the enemy's waste is an excellent weakness for us, and since this Victoria knows the existence of the Dusk Cemetery of Lu Dao, it is impossible to let her go, so it is better to send another favor to her brothers. The envoy waved his hand, and the decision was quickly made.
There was no need for him to give any more orders, the captain with his ears pricked up on the side immediately straightened up and roared at the pilots under the bridge: "Attack, fire on all cylinders, and kill that narwhal!"
"What are you kidding?" Bishop Malan almost fainted at the command.
If you want to give favors, there is no evidence, who will believe it if you just say it with empty words? Since you want to do it, you must do it thoroughly, and with the performance of the Vulture Battleship, it is basically to crush all the airships in the sea of clouds, including the narwhal. You can take that Miss Victoria prisoner, so you can be more proactive in killing or using or even cooperating.
What's more, that airship desperately escaped outside the Dusk Cemetery, maybe some special treasure had been salvaged, how could it just casually shoot it?
"Catch up at once, release the vanguard boats, and force them to surrender!" Bishop Malan's roar overshadowed the captain's voice.
Under this order, the tail of the Vulture Battleship erupted with scorching fire, and its huge and friendless body smashed through countless wreckage fragments, and chased after the Narwhal with great vigour.
Seeing that the Vulture did not attack as soon as it came up, but chose to pursue, Midi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
By the time the two sides met, the Narwhal was already within the range of the other party, and with the firepower of this vulture battleship, if it really opened its guns in reckless, the ship would have been crushed into powder immediately.
Fortunately, the various confusions made by Midi were finally not ignored by the other party, and now that they have begun to take the means of capturing them alive, there is room for maneuver.
Of course, the premise is that the narwhal, a small fish, can escape the pursuit from the huge bird of prey above.
"I'll take the helm!" Midi pushed away the old butler of Lund and took the helm himself.
The next moment, a golden-red light suddenly surged around him.
This rich and vivid red, under the influence of Midi's will, suddenly spread out like a large net, covering the entire deck, and then, it continued to stretch until the whole of this large airship with a length of sixty-five meters was wrapped in thousands of golden red lines!
And the ends of these tens of millions of red threads were all gathered in Midi's hands.
Devil May Cry skill, Ghost Shadow Walk.
A ghost step with the power of extraordinary awakening.
Previously, Midi had covered the Vanguard Ship he was piloting with this ghost step, which gave the Pioneer Ship extraordinary performance, defeating one hundred and twenty enemies on the opposite side.
And now, Midi has once again performed the same trick, only this time, it is no longer a small pioneer boat that he will cover, but the gigantic narwhal!
In Reinhardt's stunned expression, in Victoria's astonished eyes, and in front of the shock that the well-informed old butler of Lund could not hide, Midi let out a loud cry, and then turned the rudder in his hand violently.
The next moment, the narwhal, which was covered by the golden-red aura, actually showed a super agility that was completely incommensurate with its size and propulsion, as if it had really turned into a giant whale swimming in the sea of clouds, twisted its body, and directly drilled into a dense wreckage, and then flashed all the wreckage with complex evasive actions, and even left the vulture battleship behind!
But for this, Midi also paid a huge price.
This is tantamount to pulling the entire airship with the power of one person!
The Transcendent Awakened may have an incomparably strong force, and with the Flying Sword Dance, they can easily destroy an entire fleet of large airships. But it's one thing to destroy, it's another thing to simply compete for strength and endurance.
It's like killing someone, just push a knife into the heart.
But to carry a person on his back for ten kilometers, even if that person is a weak woman, I am afraid it is quite physically exhausting, and if one is not careful, even he will trip.
In the same way, to speed up the narwhal's large airship, even Midi felt extremely difficult, at this moment, his face had become extremely pale, his chest began to rise and fall rapidly, and the incomparably pure white crystal magic in his body was like a flood pouring out.
For the first time ever, Midi felt that her magic was insufficient.
The magic power composed of dragon blood white crystal is not enough!
If he had a choice, he wouldn't have adopted this approach at all, and it was not Midi's style to easily expose his hole cards in front of others, and it was not Midi's style to exhaust all his strength and not even leave a little foundation.
But now Midi has no choice.
Because he knew that if he escaped with the performance of the narwhal itself, let alone delayed for a day, he was afraid that if he couldn't delay for even an hour, he would be directly caught up by the vulture battleship, and then captured.
Therefore, he can only cast one of his hole cards and bless the golden breath on the airship in order to escape from the Vulture Battleship.
And it wasn't until she really played this hole card that Midi realized that she seemed to be overestimating herself.
"Magic Crystals!" Midi roared in a deep voice, gritting her teeth.
"Magic crystal?" Victoria didn't understand for a moment.
"Give ......," Midi tried to explain, but suddenly, a large reef hit him, forcing him to use the white crystal magic of his whole body frantically, and then used all his strength to quickly turn the rudder back and forth, so that the narwhal flew through the reef like a pioneer boat like a butterfly through a flower.
But because of this, Midi was so tired that he couldn't even speak.
"He needs to absorb the magic!" Reinhardt interjected, then took a large gem from his bosom and shoved it directly into Midi's hand.
The priceless "Heart of the Sea" of the Delos Empire immediately began to shatter, and the magic power in it flowed out and was greedily absorbed by Midi.
But Reinhardt didn't even look at it, and rushed into the cabin without looking back—the narwhal had lost most of its baggage in order to reduce its weight, but of course all the magic crystals were left. That's the fuel that airships rely on to fly.
That's what Midi needs most now.
Victoria, who came to her senses, also immediately lifted her skirt and ran down, at a very moment, of course, the eldest lady also had to do it herself, and if she could have one more person, she would naturally have more strength.
As for the old butler Lund, for the first time, he finally showed all his strength, and jumped out of the cabin in one leap, and rushed into it faster than Reinhardt.
Finally, with the support of the mountain-like magic crystal, Midi's absorption and consumption speed finally reached a balance.
And with the blessing of this ghost shadow step, the narwhal, which is as nimble as a swimming fish, finally escaped from the detection range of the vulture warship temporarily.
It was also led away from the center of the cemetery.
The crisis has finally been resolved.
But Midi was well aware that this security was only temporary.
Because the Holy Messenger will strike sooner or later.
And under his psychic powers, there will be no hiding from the mind.
