Chapter 645: Escape from the Iron Scale (Ask for Subscription)
What followed was a show for Zoro.
The Commander of the Knights of the Holy Seal put on a spectacular show, and the ships of the Sunken fired their cannons frequently, but no matter whether the shells were covered or scattered, the cannonballs that fell towards the Iron Scale would always explode into dazzling fireballs in the Sauron Vacuum Slash. The cannon fire continued, and Jesse was determined to empty the inventory. But no matter how determined you are, you can't change reality.
Zoro stood at the stern of the ship and watched ahead, detonating with a basic air kick if a lone cannonball or two came in. If it is a rain of bullets, it will kick a vacuum with both legs at a rapid speed to cut it off. With the repeated use of these two skills, although the explosions around the Iron Scale continued, not a single cannonball landed on the ship.
Deborah, who was at the helm, looked at the figure at the stern with a somewhat solemn face, and he was secretly glad that he didn't impulsively shoot at Zoro just now. By now, Sauron had unleashed hundreds of vacuum slashes and intercepted a large number of cannonballs, but the volume and breath had not shown any signs of decreasing. Deborah asked himself if he threw hundreds of fireballs like he did, at least he would have to catch his breath.
But Sauron was still the same, and his breathing was not disturbed at all.
Another blow of air kicks broke the Sunken's third heavy artillery coverage. A row of cannonballs exploded on the Iron Scale, forming a spectacular cloud of fire that surrounded the Iron Scale like a long snake. The shock wave shook even the Iron Scale, and while the fire cloud was still dissipating and the wave was still raging, Sauron suddenly jumped high.
"I don't have the habit of not fighting back when I am beaten, so please accept my gift. With a sneer, Sauron's right leg first retracted, and then instantly popped out, sweeping out a semicircle.
At that moment, a sharp sound of breaking the air sounded in the air. The voice was so sharp that even Deborah couldn't help frowning.
In front of Zoro, the air twisted faintly, and then a transparent ripple nearly three meters wide burst through the air. The vacuum slashed out against the surface of the sea, and even pressed a half-moon shape into the sea, slashing towards the bow of the Sunken like a sickle with awe-inspiring power!
Broken Sky Moon, an upgraded version of Broken Sky Kick. Kicks a huge wave of vacuum slashing with a short charge, with range and power several times greater than that of the Broken Air Kick. The moon was powerful enough to slice through an armored chariot, and it would have been easy to cut down a wooden ship like the Sunken.
The bow of the ship was cut, although it did not have much effect on the power of the ship itself, but for Jesse, it was undoubtedly a slap in the face for Zoro. Naturally, he couldn't tolerate such a thing, so he stretched out his right hand and pulled out the crimson sword behind his back. Before he had time to assemble into a vicious fang, Jesse jumped high on the deck. With a swing of his sword in one hand, he pulled out a red lightning bolt and faced the moon.
Caught in the vacuum, Jesse was shocked and flew back to the ship. But Sauron's attack was finally blocked, and the String Moon burst open, sending a frenzied shockwave down the Sunken. Several soldiers on the deck of the ship tossed the shock air current, and then threw it down. The luckier ones fell on the deck and vomited a few mouthfuls of blood, while the unlucky ones were thrown directly into the sea, and before the rescue of the soldiers on the ship, the ferocious deviant fish were already pulled into the sea and eaten.
Jesse shook back into the ship, and his sword stabbed into the deck to hold him in shape. But even so, he slipped back Miyu, and his face became quite ugly. Zoro's blow was so powerful that he didn't know he would be able to survive a few minutes if he went head-to-head. Maybe it won't even be able to survive for a minute, but at this moment, Jesse has some understanding of Ulsen, who is so powerful, and Weishenme will also be defeated in the hands of Zoro.
But it's at sea! Jesse shouted, "The osprey went out and lifted the bottom of the other party's boat!"
On the other side, Sauron landed back onto the Iron Scale. Seeing that he only kicked a few soldiers to death with one shot, the original abacus of giving the other party a horse did not start because of Jesse's interference, and he was a little unwilling in his heart. Seeing that the Sunken did not continue to bombard with heavy artillery, I wondered in my heart, wondering if the Sunken warship was about to return to its home? As soon as this thought arose, I looked at both sides of the enemy warship, and the walls of the ship were slowly rising.
"I knew it wasn't going to be that easy. Zoro showed a grim smile: "It's okay, just let me kill you all yet, just for the sake of Ulsen's rare opponent." ”
On the side of the Sunken, there was the sound of a chain pulling. On either side of the deck of the ship, soldiers were spinning several turntables, with arm-thick chains twisted around them, and they were tucking away the hull of the ship, which from a distance looked like the Sunken spreading a pair of wings. When the lower cabins were opened from both sides, wooden loading and unloading bridges were unloaded into the sea, and then a series of human-powered hydro ships slid horizontally from the bridge into the sea.
The human-powered hydro ship is a type of sea guerrilla ship produced by Ishtar, which is different from the common wind boats, which are purely artificially powered. A water wheel with a screw similar to a propeller at the stern of the ship is driven by a chain and gear to form a propulsion force through a human-powered pedaling machine at the stern, which can realize flexible combat in short-distance waters.
There are generally four people on a ship, two of whom are responsible for powering, one is the driver and the other is the fireman. The fireman was responsible for operating a firing platform in the bow that could be turned 180 degrees, and the anti-aircraft machine gun on the firing platform became a nightmare for the enemy in guerrilla warfare. And the combination of four people and a boat is called an osprey, and now, the target of the ospreys is naturally the Iron Scale, which has an obvious target like a tyrannosaurus whale.
Seeing a total of twelve groups of ospreys fanning towards the sea, Zoro couldn't help frowning, because the queue of ospreys was very spread, which made it difficult for him to catch each other.
Under the desperate trampling of the two soldiers behind the ship, the water steamer soon approached the Iron Scale. One of the hydro-steamers, numbered "4", swept diagonally to the right, and the fireman in the bow immediately turned the firing platform, and the anti-aircraft machine gun fired a barrage of bullets in the direction of the stern. With a muffled sound, the bullet struck across the Ironscale's hull, leaving a clear bullet mark.
Then the other steamers came in turn, and added new wounds up and down the bullet marks. After two or three rounds of firing, a large area of the stern of the Iron Scale exploded, and the sea water immediately poured in.
Only then did Zoro realize that the goal of these ospreys was not him, but to sink the Ironscale. The Iron Scale is big enough, but the osprey is not only nimble, but also fierce enough. Twelve anti-aircraft machine guns fired four or five times around the Ironscale, and there was no need for the heavy artillery bombardment of the Sunken Battleship, and the bottom of the Ironscale's hull had to be lifted alive. When the sea water fills and the ospreys blow off the rudder, he and Deborah will not have to go anywhere, but wait for death on the boat.
At the thought of this, Sauron snorted and threw a vacuum slash at a watership passing by!
It's a pity that the hydroship is not the Sunken, it is smaller and more flexible. Seeing Sauron jump, the pilot of the ship slammed the steering wheel, and immediately led the steamer to move sideways. Sauron's vacuum slash roared, but it fell into the water, only to explode a column of water. Having dodged the attack, the steamer came up again, and the fireman in the bow turned his gun and plowed a shuttle of bullets from the Ironscale.
Sawdust flew, and there were countless bullet holes in the Iron Scale.
Twelve steamers swam around the Ironscale, and the lines of fire from the anti-aircraft machine guns formed a staggered network of fire around the big ship. Let the hydro ship go around like this, and the bottom of the hull of the Iron Scale has been flooded in many places. Although one or two ships were sunk for Sauron, it felt like it was useless.
In the cabin, sawdust jumped above Franklin's head. Then a row of distorted beams of light came in from outside the ship, brightening the light in the cabin a little. In the shadows, Franklin finally opened his eyes. The giant spat out a puff of hot smoke from his mouth, and with a muffled grunt, he swung his hands forward, pulling his palms out of the steel nails of the ship's hull.
For a moment, blood splattered.
But soon, a burst of foam began to bubble up at the wound. In the foam, the dirty blood near the wound was quickly drained, and the muscles at the edges squirmed wildly, quickly closing the wound. The hollow part quickly grows a layer of flesh membrane, and it won't be long before new muscles grow here. Franklin didn't have time to pay attention to the two holes in his palm, he reached out and grabbed the steel bar on his chest and pulled hard.
The steel bars groaned and twisted, and when the rows of steel nails fixed to the hull broke and bounced, four or five steel bars were thrown to the ground for Franklin.
The giant stood up, a glint in his eyes. Seven electric generators behind him jumped at the same time, sparks flew from Franklin's body as black smoke flew up. The giant turned around and reached out to lightly pile it on the hull. The planks of the hull, which had been pierced by him with flesh beforehand, turned into powder like cotton, revealing a gap of a meter long and wide.
Franklin looked out into the gap, which was still two or three meters above the sea. He frowned, and it would take him about a second or so to jump from here to the sea under his weight. This may not be a lot of time, but when entering the sea, it must take another second to completely sink to the bottom of the sea due to the buoyancy of the sea.
More than two seconds were enough time for Zoro to react, and he had not yet recovered either his strength or energy. If you jump like this, you will definitely be attacked by Sauron, so that even if Franklin can reach it. But once the injury is added, he is not sure that he will survive.
Although, for him, sea water is not the main threat. Franklin is even more afraid of encountering dangerous sea beasts when his physical strength is exhausted, and then it will really become a meal for some sea beasts.
In short, try to divert Zoro's attention as much as possible.
At this point, Franklin looked over at the barrels in the cabin.
On the deck of the ship, another vacuum slashed into the air, and Zoro was like a tyrannosaurus flying around his head by flies.
"That's enough!" Zoro snorted, and suddenly fell forward.
Hold your hands on the ground and stagger. At the same time, the two feet are spread out in a straight line, and a circle is instantly pulled out in mid-air.
The sharp sound of breaking the air returned, and the transparent ripples spread in a circle around Sauron. The sea beneath the Iron Scale first sank downward, followed by a circle of waves. The waves spread in all directions, and suddenly a huge wave was set off. In the roar of the huge waves, a circle of white waves rushed away, but after advancing a few meters, it had already crashed into the surrounding water steamers.
Huge waves crashed against these steamers, and a dozen or so of these small boats were lifted into the air. Under the lapping of the waves, the boats disintegrated and fell into the sea with countless parts and the soldiers on board.
The circular wave pushed by Sauron spread straight for about thirty meters on the surface of the sea before stopping.
Break the full moon in the sky and use your legs to rotate in a circle at high speed to form a diffuse vacuum slash that can attack all enemies in your vicinity. It has a wide range and no dead angle of attack, but its disadvantage is that the attack power is scattered and cannot form an effective attack on strong enemies. But in the current situation, it is more than enough.
After seeing the waves empty at the gap in the cabin, Franklin got to know Sauron better, and he silently picked up a barrel of wine, and then suddenly threw the empty barrel in his hand with a sudden force.
The barrel slammed into the sea like a cannonball, and the aura of Franklin's instant throw caught Sauron's attention. The chief of the Knights' face changed, and his body pulled out a black dotted line and swept to the edge of the ship's side, just in time to catch the spray of the casks as they crashed into the sea.
"It's not that easy!" Zoro shouted, his body bouncing high, spun in a circle, and then swept his leg out towards the sea.
The toes brought a wave of air, and a wide half-moon-shaped vacuum wave slammed straight down the surface of the sea with a sharp sound. Almost before the waves disappeared, the water was immediately lined up on both sides, and the barrels on the vacuum slashing track exploded.
Seeing the fragments of the barrel jumping in the water, Zoro was stunned at first. It closed with the sea below, and hit a high column of water that almost didn't splash him.
Immediately after that, a series of sounds of the ship's hull shattering sounded, and black shadows flew out of the cabin and fell to the sea. For a moment, Sauron couldn't tell which one belonged to Franklin. He threw several vacuum slashes from the ship, but they hit either seawater or wine barrels.
Moments later, there was no movement in the cabin. Sauron suddenly thought of something, and with a curse, he pointed his toes on the deck, and immediately made a hole in the deck that led to the cabin. But when Zoro jumped into the cabin, there was still Franklin's shadow in it. Only a gap in the cabin floor was left for Franklin to pass through. At the edge of the notch, there were still wisps of red light, which were the traces left after the floor was cut by the high-temperature rays.
Zoro knew he had played a trick, and the barrels that Franklin had thrown earlier were all meant to distract himself. He had opened a passage in the cabin, and the water was rising through the gap. By the time Deborah came down to take a look, the water was almost reaching Sauron's feet.
Deborah said with a solemn face: "Come on, my lord, I have to close this place, otherwise the ship will sink." ”
"Bastard!" Zoro roared and jumped straight onto the deck. Deborah quickly pulled down a nearby switch, and with the sound of gears turning, the cabin on this level began to shut to stop the water from rising any further.
Jumping onto the deck, Sauron rushed towards the stern like an angry lion. Just at the edge of the deck, he suddenly stopped, the tips of his shoes creaking against the deck. Zoro propped one foot on the ground, the other bent up, and then ricocheted forward like a machine gun. At a rate of one shot per second, a cloud of transparent vacuum bullets frequently popped out of his toes.
Vacuum bullets fired in a row, as if to vent Sauron's anger in the direction of the Sunken. The vacuum bomb broke through the air, bringing white waves of air from the sea.
Broken Air Combo, which fires continuously at the target with a high frequency of vacuum bullets, is Sauron's most powerful single offensive skill. It's just that although the power of vacuum bombs is almost as powerful as heavy artillery, the range cannot be compared with real heavy artillery. As a result, the continuous vacuum bombs basically only landed on the sea in front of the Sunken, but they exploded the water column on the sea surface and the waves went against the current, pushing the Sunken to waver.
The people on board, including Jesse, were all earthy, if it weren't for the distance between the two ships. If not, it would have been just Sauron's successive shots, and the Sunken would have been reduced to pieces!
After a random shot, Sauron finally stopped. Under the patronage of the vacuum bomb, the turbulent current of the bombed sea surface rolled, and the collision of the sea water spit out large clouds of white foam, and Jesse had to grit his teeth and say: "Return!"
Seeing from afar that the Sunken began to turn around, Deborah breathed a sigh of relief. Then he looked at the trembling figure at the stern of the boat, knowing that Zoro was angry, but he had to ask: "My lord, we"
"Do you need to ask?" roared Sauron, "that beast has adaptive cells, and the Sea of Pollution is no problem for him at all. He must have fled by now, so I'll chase after him right away. Even if he could turn into a fish, he wouldn't be able to escape that far, so he started his search on the nearest island. Even if he dies, I'm going to bring his body back!"
When it comes to zuihou, anger has been replaced by fear. The thought of Gaia's cold and inorganic gaze made Zoro shudder. It's a pity that Deborah can't tell the difference, and sometimes anger and fear are not so easy to distinguish.
Deborah locked onto an island not far away and turned the rudder forward. It's just that the Ironscale has been flooded in its cabin, and it is much slower to walk than before. No matter how slow it is, the ship will have a moment to leave. After the Iron Scale moved away, a series of bubbles first appeared on the surface of the sea, followed by a shadow in the sea, and Zuihou Franklin carefully emerged from the sea.
His body had undergone a mutation, and a membrane of flesh had grown between his fingers and toes, making it easier for him to pat the water forward. At the same time, shark-like fins grow on his back, which can provide cover for him when swimming on the surface. Even in order to escape, Franklin formed a row of fumaroles on both sides of his waist, which could accelerate his escape if necessary.
He heard Sauron's yelling just now while hiding in the sea, and he had planned to rest on a nearby island for a while, and then regain his strength. But now it seems that only by staying away from this sea area can we escape Zoro's search!
