Pillars of Ita

Chapter 899, Act 23, The Weird Ship

Although Luo Hao was the first to call out, it was Papalal who was faster.I saw Parker riding on another ballista and shouted: "Let you see what the strength of a professional ballista player is!"

He kicked the lever with his foot.

The ballista threw a huge spear with a bang, causing everyone to jump on it.Luo Hao was a little slower, but the two giant spears flew out of the Seven Seas Traveler almost at the same time.

The tip of the giant spear is equipped with luminous fluorite, and it throws a long tracer ballistic trajectory in the night. The first shot is deflected from the left rear of the dhow, and then the delayed detonation fuze is locked, injecting magic power into the gray crystal on the tip of the spear .

There was a flash of light in the night sky, and the strong light made everyone unable to close their eyes, and the roar of explosions followed.But the array of exploding crystals is astonishing, but the actual lethality is very limited, which is not as good as the ultra-small magic cannon.

The center of the explosion was about 50 meters away from the dhow of the Guild of Death.

The second ballista flew towards the middle of the dhow, and this was the one fired by Luo Hao.

The members of the guild who died on the dhow held their breaths as they watched the arrows screaming and flying towards them.However, the next moment, the giant spear hit an invisible barrier about ten meters away from the dhow.

A white halo spread from the place where the spear tip hit the barrier, and spread in all directions, forming a ring shape.The wooden spear shaft split apart in the next instant, sawdust flying all over the sky, and the spear tip flew under the dhow.

Everyone in the guild of death came to cheers.Someone even shouted: "They are nothing more than that!"

But not everyone is blindly optimistic.The opponent's ship is equipped with ballistas, explosive crystals, and more importantly - a wind elemental shield.God knows how thick that shield is.

Both sides have entered the engagement distance, but the magic shield on one's own ship is very weak.The captain of the dhow, aware of the danger, shouted orders for the sailors to turn, trying to gain distance.

The magic cannon has a range advantage——

The gunnery officer also screamed to the others: "Reload, what are you doing!?"

The gunners just woke up like a dream, and hurriedly started the next round of loading.

But why didn't they distance themselves from the beginning, but it was so futile in the face of the astonishing speed of the Seven Seas Traveler, the distance between the two sides not only did not shorten, but approached within the three chains.

The dhow side tried to take advantage of its flexible steering, but it was too late for Rumeng Fang to wake up.

"The range of the magic shield is 15 meters," Fang Plover's voice was transmitted to everyone's ears through the communication crystal, "Pay attention to modifying the parameters in the second round of shooting."

The invisible barrier around the dhow is the shield of the magic furnace used on board, just like the shield of the magic furnace they had on Mr. Huiyan's platform, but the power is even weaker.

However, the shields that come with the marine magic furnace are generally only for emergency use. It is not a big problem to resist the attack of the Chosen One, but in a ship-to-ship battle, it is basically useless.

On the stern deck of the Seven Seas Traveler, the Pappalars were busy using the small crane at the stern to reload the ballista, while complaining loudly: "It's so great to shoot, at least my success has exploded, hehe , but a dud!"

He made a bet with Luo Hao to see who would win the battle first.

After finishing the work at hand, the Pappalar hurriedly looked over there.

But Luo Hao's job is much simpler than his.Controlling the crane to reload, and correcting the shooting elements are all completed by the goblin lady.And the latter only needs a lot of strength to shake the winch and reset the bowstring.

"You're cheating!" Pappalal was so angry that he jumped on the ballista.

Luo Hao looked back at this guy, "You can use it if you have the ability?"

"I don't need it!" The Pappalar had the reserve of being a crossbow shooter, and sarcastically said in a sarcastic tone, "What kind of skill are you using foreign objects?"

"I'm just working with Miss Tata. If you don't agree, you can go to Miss Tata. She won't mind."

Luo Hao blatantly refuted, and even used aggressive tactics.

But he underestimated the shamelessness of the Paparars.

"I don't care about that!"

Parker announced loudly.

Then he immediately jumped off the ballista, and sneaked around to the other side, "Miss Tata, please help me correct the shooting angle...just a little bit is enough!"

Fortunately, Miss Tata doesn't care about this.

She looked away from Fairy Heart, thinking about it.

The gears on the Pappalal ballista immediately creaked and turned.

The Seven Seas Traveler reloaded much faster than the opponent, and the second round of shooting arrived in only half the time between the firing intervals of the magic cannon on the dhow.

And this round of shooting, the ballista on the bow of the Seven Seas Traveler also joined in, and Luo Yu and Ji Ta were controlling the ballista.

Three crossbow arrows flew towards——

Under the horrified eyes of everyone in the death-falling guild, one shot hit the stern of the dhow, one hit near the mast, and another shot exploded near the middle freeboard.

In order to prevent the opponent from hiding his hand - deliberately narrowing the coverage of the magic shield.The Corinians liked to do this, deploying it before the second strike arrived, to shatter the explosive crystal—so all three bolts were set to detonate twenty meters away from the dhow.

The flames and air waves engulfed the dhow almost instantly, reflecting each other with the flickering white light of the magic shield.

The shield was shaking violently.

There was a great chaos on the deck, and many people could not stand still and fell to the ground.The captain was asking how much energy was left in the magic shield, but got nothing but a hopeless answer.

The wing sails have been fully opened, but the speed of the ship's turning is as slow as a snail in everyone's eyes.The gunner was almost at the top of his lungs, telling the mages not to be stingy with magic power, and to directly use spells to energize and warm up the magic cannon...

"Someone is going to be unlucky."

At this time, the Dere class was far away, setting up half sail and sailing slowly to the outside of the battlefield.Standing on the upper deck, the first officer raised his binoculars to focus on the battlefield, and said so after scanning the ship of the Guild of Death.

"We can easily deal with them like this," the young man added with a strong disdain in his tone, "It's a pity, but what are these people's origins, and they don't worry that the Haierfa family will make trouble for them?"

"Adventurers have no fixed place and wander around," the old captain replied leisurely, knocking his pipe on the ship's side with his backhand, "What can the Helfa family do with them?"

The young man snorted softly.

At this time, a burst of exclamation suddenly broke out on the Dereban, which attracted the attention of the two of them.

The dhow side finally completed their final round of shooting preparations - the captain of the other side made a bold decision to tilt the sailboat 25 degrees sideways, so that the artillery on both decks could fire a salvo.

The flames flickered, and the blast from the muzzle even knocked some of the people on the other side into the air and fell out of the deck.Fortunately, those people were all wind-element-adapted, and they floated unsteadily outside, grabbing the rope net outside the sailboat with their backhands——

The magic flash and the third round of crossbow arrows from the Traveler of the Seven Seas happened to intersect in mid-air.

The former arrived first, hitting the blue shield on the periphery of the Seven Seas Traveler, and burst into a dazzling flash the next moment.The harmless air wave passed through the shield, raised the collar of the plovers coat, and flew with the wind.

"The wind elemental shield has dropped by [-]%, the heart of the fairy is running normally, and the power loss does not exceed [-]%."

Miss Tata's voice was ringing in his heart.

"Prepare for the next round of attack." Fang Yan replied calmly.

Under his gaze, the three giant spears hit the dhow again, and the detonation point was a little closer than the previous round.

The flash of the first and second gray crystal explosion directly tore off the dhow's magic shield, and after a violent flash of white light, it burst apart piece by piece like a mirror.

There was also a flash of light from the inside of the hull, and the loud noise was covered by the explosion, but Fang Plover saw thick smoke billowing up after that, and the speed of the dhow slowed down suddenly.

It seems that the magic furnace is overloaded.

This is also one of the disadvantages of the magic furnace's own shield. It directly provides output power from the magic furnace. Once it exceeds the critical point, it will easily cause the magic engine itself to be paralyzed.

A third spear pierced the shield and struck the dhow's midsection, where it caused an explosion.The explosion directly reimbursed the two magic cannons and knocked everyone on the deck to the ground.

At the bow of the Traveler of the Seven Seas, Ms. Naturalist raised her small hand and clenched her fist.

This crossbow was shot by her.

"Damn it!"

The Paparars were howling, "It doesn't count, if we didn't destroy the opponent's shield first, she wouldn't be able to hit!"

"No, no, breaking the opponent's magic furnace can be regarded as causing damage," Luo Hao put forward another point of view, "So I won."

"Wait," Parker reacted, "We all caused damage to the shield, why are you?"

"Whoever is the last to cause damage will be the one."

"Where is who?"

The two stopped suddenly and looked at each other.They were scrambling to be the first, and no one could remember who fired the shot first. Although they all had a system, there was no record of the ballista's damage in the system's combat records.

"Miss Tata!"

Luo Hao reacted immediately.

It's a pity that the goblin lady is quiet and doesn't pay attention to them.

There was a fire on the dhow, which was only a small boat, not half the size of the Seven Seas Traveler.The blow just now left a big hole in the middle of its hull, and flames and thick smoke were billowing out from it.

Those who were injured but not dead were crying and howling on the deck. Although Xinghui could save his life, he had to bear the pain himself.

Not long after, the opponent raised a white flag.

In fact, the distance between the two sides is not too far. At this moment, they are already within a chain of land, more than 100 meters.Death came to the guild's sailboat, which was tilting, floating in the sky, and a raging fire broke out, and the sailors were busy fighting the fire——

The voice of the other captain also came from afar:

"A truce, we admit defeat!"

Only then did Fang Yan stop the Seven Seas Traveler in time for the next round of attacks.

The opponent has already raised the white flag, and it would be against the rules to continue fighting.He asked Sylvaide to use a light signal to notify the Dereban, which was parked far away on the edge of the battlefield, and let them come to rescue people.

……

The Dereban watched the whole process of the battle from afar.

When one of the parties hoisted the white flag, the sailors on it couldn't help but whistle.

Life in the sky is quite boring, and the life of ordinary sailors is even more boring. A fight on the ship can make these boring men excited, let alone watching such a good show.

The battles are pretty exciting.

Looking at the Seven Seas Traveler drifting away, the captain even praised: "It's a beautiful ship."

"They asked us to rescue people," the sailor looked at the flashing lights on the observation deck and shouted, "What should we do, Mr. Captain?"

"Come closer," replied the captain.

Then he turned around and asked his deputy, "What do you think?"

"The gunner's artillery skills are not bad." The first officer was concerned about the previous battle. "In the first round of shooting, there were at least six chains on both sides, and the first round hit from 1000 meters away."

Although Luo Hao's first round of shooting smashed into the magic shield, the shield of the marine magic furnace is as fragile as paper, and it is usually directly counted as the blood volume of the hull itself.

According to the selectors, that is also structural resistance.

So if you hit the shield, you can basically hit the sailboat itself. There is not much difference.

"Hehe," the captain smiled, "That's not what my deputy said just now. I remember that gentleman told me that he is more optimistic about the front side in this battle."

After all, the first mate was a young man, and scratched his head, "But I didn't expect that there would be a shipboard shield on that fast sailing boat. This is really weird, Mr. Captain."

"Yes," the captain nodded, "In my impression, elemental shields are only installed on battleships above the fourth rank. Or is it that the shields of battleships are also miniaturized? technology?"

The two of them were not entangled in armaments.

The Seven Seas Traveler is equipped with ballistas, but few sailboats sailing in the sky are completely defenseless.

Even the two van airships they escorted had seven ballistas.

However, people who live in this empty sea generally don't think ballistas are "armed equipment".After all, in the face of large-scale magic equipment, the range and power of the ballista are really not enough.

Even with the Explosive Crystal installed.

The old captain called the chief alchemist on board to inquire, but he got almost the same answer.

The alchemist replied: "There are a lot of Colin-Ishurian styles on that sailboat, but it's not all Colin's shipbuilding techniques. It seems that there are some dwarven styles in it."

"It's not surprising, the dwarves and the Colin are allies."

"No, you are not alchemists, so you may not know much about it," the alchemist shook his head. "The craftsmen of the dwarves and the Colin are influenced by each other, but their shipbuilding styles are quite different."

"By the way," the latter thought for a while, then suddenly asked, "Have you two heard of the craftsmen of Istania?"

"You mean that piece of silver sand and sand sea?"

The old captain had been to that place when he was young.

"Yes," the alchemist stared intently at the shrinking shadow of the Traveler of the Seven Seas, "it's a little strange. When I was young, I went to Tansnier to study and learn alchemy there. I always feel that this ship has a certain style, and there are local ships. craftsman's hand."

He repeatedly exclaimed: "It's really interesting."

"It's a really queer ship."
