Chapter 298: Race against time
It was Reinhardt who caused the explosion on the bridge.
This Fourth Prince was only a level 54 sword soul, but in the midst of a large group of level 60 guards of the Demon Vulture Battleship, he successfully raided the Demon Crystal Storage and caused such a disaster, even Midi did not expect.
Presumably, Reinhardt also had some kind of royal hole card in his hand, or maybe his determination to prove himself played a role.
But whatever the factor, Midi wants to say in her heart, well done!
The most important part of the command was destroyed, and even the speed of the Vulture had to be slowed down, thus buying time for Emile's repairs.
Next, the only thing he had to do was to try to block the Holy Messenger.
As long as the Emissary can't get back to the bridge, Reinhardt should be able to support it a little longer, making the situation even more chaotic.
And with every extra bit of time, even if it's a minute, the odds of Midi's side will increase by one point.
I wonder how the repair of the Wind King battleship is going?
For a moment, Midi's heart couldn't help but think of it.
"It's going to take about half an hour. Wiseman's breathless voice rang out over the bridge of the Windlord.
The repair of the magic circuit had reached its final stage, more than four hours earlier than the original expected ten hours, nearly twice as fast. However, at the cost of this, almost everyone who was able to use some alchemy was exhausted, and even the ability to absorb the magic crystal to restore was gone.
Even Wiseman, who has always been calm and breezy, finally experienced the feeling of his magic power being almost exhausted at this moment.
"Half an hour!" Emile's delicate brow furrowed slightly.
Not long ago, Reinhardt had sent a communication in a hurry, telling her that the enemy would arrive in about fifteen minutes.
Now that the calculation time is almost up, and the repair will last up to half an hour?
Doesn't this mean that for a full thirty minutes, the Wind King battleship will be fixed in the air like a live target and can only be beaten?
Even the strongest ancient warship is extremely difficult to resist for thirty minutes with armor alone without power. Moreover, the other party is said to be an antique warship with extremely strong firepower, so it is inevitable that it will fall.
This Wind King battleship is the most precious legacy of alchemy, and it must not be allowed to fall from the sea of clouds like this!
For a moment, Emile forgot about life and death, and the glory that belonged to the master alchemist came to life.
"It has to be a little faster. She said to Wiseman with a solemn look.
"There's a proverb in the Arad continent that the faster you want it, the easier it is to make mistakes, haven't you heard?" Wiseman shrugged and shook his head again, "Besides, I can't help either." ”
It's not that the necromancer wants to be lazy, but because the restoration work has now been carried out on the bridge.
As the command center of a huge warship, the magic circuit of the bridge is extremely complex, if you look closely, it is like dozens of huge cobwebs covering each other, each cobweb is connected to a system, and countless slender spider silk are differentiated on it, it can be said that the work here can only be done by Emile alone, and it is not possible to speed up by the accumulation of manpower.
Wiseman wanted to try the unknown challenge, but the "Nightmare Hand" knew very well that if he messed up, it wouldn't be enough to apologize.
"It's okay, I'll do it alone!" Emile gritted her teeth and jumped into the countless broken circuits that had been dug under the bridge.
Bursts of extremely obvious magical aura surged around her body, and she had obviously raised her cultivation to the limit. Those slender hands were extremely skillful in manipulating the mechanical arm, flying up and down at a speed that was imperceptible to the naked eye!
Isn't it just to be able to operate at full strength at such a moment, when he deliberately dedicates time to research and cultivate, and finds a way to awaken at any cost and greatly increase his mana capacity?
Emile gritted her teeth and persevered.
A minute, two minutes passed.
Five minutes, ten minutes passed.
At the moment just after the fourteenth minute, Emile finally squeezed out the most powerful trace of magic in her body, and fell down with a pale face. And when Avril screamed and rushed up to support her sister, the entire bridge suddenly lit up.
The various consoles began to operate, and a soft light was scattered on the display, and the entire Wind King battleship also trembled slightly at this moment.
The engine was running.
But in a moment of celebration and cheering, there was no sound coming from the entire bridge, but a dead silence.
Through the bright viewing window, everyone could clearly see that at the edge of this huge space, a small black dot suddenly appeared, and it was approaching at a rapid speed, and the size was getting bigger and bigger.
The Vulture Battleship has finally arrived.
The Cult of Blue Truth has come!
"Quick, warm up the engines immediately, start the battleship, and get ready for battle. Avril was the first to react, and with the attitude of a seasoned adventurer in the sea of clouds, she immediately issued an order.
With her melodious but nervous voice, the people struggled to get up from their resting positions, dragged their exhausted bodies, and ran through the battleship passage once more.
At the same time that Emile and the others saw the Vulture Battleship, the people of the Blue Truth Sect naturally also saw the Wind King Battleship located in the middle of the airspace.
The white hull of the ship, as well as the graceful streamlined shape like a white swan, suddenly made everyone can't help but hold their breath.
Even the Holy Envoy couldn't help but gasp at this moment.
An ancient battleship in good condition!
Even in the starry ocean at the heart of the Great Storm Zone, nothing like this has ever been salvaged!
"The Cruiser of the Wind King is ours. In an arrogant tone, the Holy Envoy declared, "Even if you hold me back here, even if the Wind King cruiser can move, now, it's too late!"
"Is that so?" said Midi with a sneer, snapping her fingers.
A vast aura of magical power burst out from his fingertips, rippling in circles like ripples, sweeping over the entire Vulture Battleship.
The next moment, dozens of ghost arrays, under the fluctuation of this magic power, actually erupted at the same time!
Among these ghost formations, there are shadow arrays, phantom arrays, ice formations, and flame formations, etc., each of which is located in a different part of the vulture battleship.
For example, on the outer wall of the bridge, Midi cast both the Shadow Circle and the Phantom Array at the same time, so that the people in it could not see the situation outside. On the engine intakes on both wings, Midi cast an ice formation that blocked the air intake passages and prevented the engine from running adequately. As for the Stygian Array, it was placed by Midi on the jet port at the tail of the Vulture Battleship, causing the flames to become disoriented and the thrust to be reduced.
Although the impact of the ghost array cast by the power of one person on this behemoth was very weak, when dozens of ghost arrays were connected and exerted their influence on different areas at the same time, a chain reaction was formed, causing an extremely obvious delay effect!
When Midi and the Holy Envoy were entangled in you and me before, he intentionally or unintentionally, took the Holy Envoy to circle and patrol all over the vulture battleship, ostensibly just to avoid all kinds of powerful magical attacks, but in fact, he was quietly starting to arrange.
And at this moment, it is the time to set these foreshadowings and detonate them at the same time!
Riding on the interference of Midi's ghost and god array, the Wind King battleship finally let out a deafening roar, and from its steel body that had been sleeping for tens of thousands of years, a powerful and surging magic began to flow, and then drove a powerful engine in the wings to start, and spew out scorching flames!
Seeing that such a big fish was trying to escape, the Vulture Battleship immediately attacked.
These bird-shaped ancient warships did not need to release the Pioneer Boat as a precursor, and their open wings contained a variety of weapons, from missile launchers to rotating turrets, as well as Vulcan cannons for close combat, etc., which were completely capable of instantaneous firepower, and the numerous turrets also guaranteed that there would be no blind spots.
In an instant, all the gun doors on the wings of the Vulture Battleship began to open!
It's just that because Midi had spread a large number of ice formations on it in advance, many cannon ports were frozen, and they couldn't be opened at all, and the rotating turret couldn't be raised, and the attack power was suddenly greatly reduced.
In addition, most of the observation ports were covered by pitch-black shadow arrays, so that even the hit rate was greatly reduced.
It was obviously the sect's most powerful battleship with full firepower, but at this moment, the barrage shot out seemed to be sparse, even if a part of it occasionally hit the Wind King battleship, it would not be able to make any traces on the surface of this real ancient warship, let alone stop its actions.
"Damn!" the Holy Messenger let out another psychic roar, and suddenly accelerated from mid-air, chasing after Midi.
But this time, Midi no longer grappled with him, but chose to run away.
Even among the flying skills, the speed of the "Flying Sword Dance" can be said to be second to none, even if the Holy Envoy holds back all his strength, and even uses acceleration magic, there is no way to catch up with Midi, let alone stop him.
In desperation, the Holy Envoy could only turn around and dispel those ghost formations instead.
But at this time, Midi began to use Asura's long-range attack wave swords from a distance, harassing the holy envoy again and again, and even worse, he would seize a few opportunities to get close to the vulture battleship and set up a new ghost formation again.
After going back and forth, the attack of the Vulture Battleship was also delayed again and again.
Even the "Psychic Sniper" sent out by the Holy Envoy again still failed to hit Midi, and this time, Midi even dodged more calmly, and the consumption was not as huge as the last time.
Finally, the Wind King battleship completed the preheating and testing of the first engine start, and the huge silver-white body began to slowly move forward!
"Good!" Midi's eyes flashed.
