Embers of Embers

Chapter 514 Hunting
Within the narrow visor, the fierce gunfire echoed repeatedly in his ears, almost causing Lorenzo to lose his hearing.
After a moment of suppression, the pirates gradually formed a counterattack. They carried various strange modified firearms and opened fire at the Black Angel. Countless projectiles hit the cold armor, causing sparks to fly.
Black Angel raised his arm, and slender and sharp iron feathers grew along the edge of the arm, spreading to the shoulders and armpits. The sea breeze gently caressed them, and they swayed slightly like thousands of hung sword blades. With.
"coming!"
exclaimed the pirate.
The heartbeat roared, sending violent blood to every inch of the flesh and blood. The resurrected flesh and blood affected the machinery, and then drove the forbidden armor.
The Black Angel is very fast. In order to increase its mobility as much as possible, it carries almost no weapons, like a delicate and deadly dagger.
The hook shot across the short distance toward the pirates, piercing one pirate's chest and driving into the deck behind him.
The smell of blood was diluted by the heavy rain, and the pirates opened fire again with red eyes and hoarseness.
Black Angel did not react. He saw the hook began to be retracted and was straightened in an instant. This change caused the pirates' anger to be extinguished by the impact of death.
Although they didn't understand how the demon in front of them moved, they knew very well that the reason why the Black Angel could move between different armored ships was by using this hook.
The death hook dragged the demon up from the heavy rain. In a blink of an eye, the black angel spread his wings. Supported by the strong wind, he arrived in front of the pirates in an instant, and then passed by.
Their flesh and blood bodies were cut off by thousands of sharp knives, and they could not even utter a cry.
Lorenzo had little experience in naval combat, let alone piloting a Black Angel for naval combat, but in this short period of time, he had already developed some combat skills.
In this bumpy and harsh environment, the Black Angel seemed ferocious, but it was also restricted in its movement. When destroying the first armored ship, Lorenzo lost control of his balance due to his lack of balance and the heavy weight of the Black Angel. It slipped directly from the tilting deck into the sea.
Fortunately, just before falling into the sea, the Black Angel's sharp blade cut through the armor of the ironclad ship. Lorenzo followed the muzzle of the fixed artillery and directly entered the lower cabin.
After learning from the previous lesson, Lorenzo began to try to use the hook to drag the Black Angel to move. Although it was a little troublesome, it could ensure that the action was within expectations, and if it was out of control, he could also rely on the nailed hook Cable held himself in place.
Like a rapidly advancing sword, the Black Angel was like a storm, completely destroying everything on the surface of the armored ship's deck. Even the tall mast began to become shaky under the Black Angel's slashes, and finally collapsed.
It is no wonder that these Viking pirates lost their courage. After all, they had never faced an enemy like Lorenzo, and they were still in such bad weather conditions.
"A complete victory..."
Captain Notar looked at all this blankly, and the raging figure of the Black Angel was clearly visible against the firelight.
The pirates may not be able to see the Black Angel's trajectory clearly, but Notar, who was standing on the Dawn Advance, saw the whole process. After the weapons division began to light up the sea area and suppress it, the Black Angel launched its operation.
It jumped into the air by taking advantage of the height difference. The most important design of this relatively light armor is that it can glide to a certain extent. Lorenzo used this to return alive from the Reichenbach. But when there is external force to help it, it can fly briefly.
The fuel tank placed behind the Black Angel began to burn the moment it took off. The paint antimony exploded with unimaginable heat, and the ensuing power carried the Black Angel into the high altitude.
This may be the most ridiculous tactic Notar has ever seen.
This is not flying. Rather than flying, it is better to say that the Black Angel was blown up into the sky by the fuel tank. Then it spread its wings, and its dark figure blended into the night, passing over the sea, relying on the illumination of the Forged Spear. Looking for purpose.
Everyone knew what happened next. The hook shot through the air, locked onto the target, and then the black angel fell from the sky.
Notal had never seen such a weird gang-hopping fight in his life. His eyes moved and fell on Lan Jade beside him. He saw a calm look on the woman's face, and was not surprised by what happened in front of him.
I... what kind of guy did I carry in this boat?
Notar was just the man in charge of driving the ship, and he knew nothing about the equipment list of the Morning Glory Advance. He tried hard to calm himself down, recalling the regulations of the purification agency in his mind, and gave up his damn curiosity.
"How many...how many ships are left?"
Black Angel's movements stopped. It stood among the burning wreckage and looked at other places on the sea.
Lorenzo has destroyed three armored ships in succession, which has greatly eased the pressure on the Morning Glory Advance. Thanks to the backward communication technology, the pirates were simply unable to convey the arrival of the Black Angel to others in time. They themselves I don't know what the thing in front of me is.
The next thing is easy to handle. Like the pirates, Lorenzo does not need any survivors. All pirates who have seen the Black Angel must die.
Walking towards the wreckage, Lorenzo prepared to follow the previous tactics to disintegrate the ironclad ship by destroying the interior.
Just then Lorenzo noticed something, something moving under the blackened wreckage.
While the Original Sin Armor protected Lorenzo, it also brought some disadvantages to a certain extent. For example, Lorenzo was isolated from the outside world and his sight was blocked, so he needed the lighting of the weapons master.
Following the awareness of the battle, Lorenzo instinctively shot out the hook and nailed it into the stern of the ship, but it was too late. The Black Angel raised his arms, and the iron feathers were like a shield in front of him.
The roar of cannons sounded after Tie Yu, and the blazing fireworks swallowed up the Black Angel in an instant.
It was a terrace artillery set up on the deck. The mast fell and crushed nearby buildings together, hiding the artillery and the gunners under the wreckage. Fortunately, the ammunition had been loaded, and it only needed A simple fire was enough, so the dying artilleryman completed the fire the moment the Black Angel approached, and he himself was completely crushed to death by the collapsing ruins due to the roar of the explosion.
Black Angel was hit by a cannon at almost zero range. The iron feathers were bent and broken to varying degrees in an instant. The huge kinetic energy caused the overall frame of the Original Sin Armor to slightly deform in an instant, connecting the flesh and blood of the machine. It began to crack and blood poured out from the cracks.
Lorenzo was seized by a vast sensation of pain.
He thought his arm might be broken, but it was quickly wrapped in the proliferating demon flesh and blood and forced to reset.
The Black Angel does not carry any external armor. If it is a second- or third-generation armor, a blow at such a close range may be able to penetrate the armor. However, the Black Angel is a first-generation armor. It is a monster made of a large amount of demon flesh and blood. It is not so much cold. The machine is more like a demon wearing armor.
The impact knocked Black Angel out of the armored ship, but it did not fall into the sea as expected. The hook rope contracted rapidly, and then a fire broke out behind Black Angel.
Thanks to Lorenzo's intuition, he withstood the bombardment head-on for the first time. Otherwise, once it affected the fuel tank behind the Black Angel, the second explosion might really cause serious damage to the Black Angel.
The fuel tank began to burn, the blazing fire propelling the Black Angel.
The firelight did not last long, maybe only a second or two, but this short period of time was enough for the Black Angel to change the direction of its body. Dragging it with the hook, it circled a semicircle in the strong wind, and once again It passed by the ironclad ship, and this time as it passed by, with a suffocating cutting sound, a long and thin scar stretched across the deck and extended to the end of the hook rope.
The next moment, the entire deck could no longer bear these heavy objects and began to collapse. The Black Angel spun down and stood firmly at the stern of the ship.
The wings were folded, like a taut cloak, tightly wrapping the slender figure of the Black Angel. In the wriggling of flesh and blood, the broken and bent iron feathers began to peel off, and the new hardness replaced its original position.
A scorching light penetrated Lorenzo's sight and penetrated the side of the iron-clad ship. Due to the tilt of the shooting angle, it penetrated from the bottom of the ship. Then the remaining heat detonated the ammunition in the cabin. Amidst the continuous roars, the iron-clad ship Swallowed by icy water.
Ascalon finished reloading and dealt the final blow to the armored ship at his feet.
Lorenzo was attracted by the light.
The Forged Spear took off again, but this time it illuminated another area of ​​​​the sea. The remaining armored ships were swaying in the storm. The increasingly violent rainstorm made both sides uncomfortable. In addition, Lorenzo destroyed these armored ships one after another. , their firepower has been greatly reduced.
Although the remaining pirates didn't know what was happening, they all saw the fires extinguishing one by one, and their greedy enthusiasm gradually calmed down.
The pirates also wanted to retreat, but as fate would have it, one wave after another pushed the pirates and the Dawn Advance forward, as if a vortex emerged under the sea between the ships, swallowing and pulling everyone into its mouth. middle.
Only one side can survive.
As the distance got closer, the artillery fire became more and more accurate, accurately hitting the armor of the Morning Glory Advance. No matter how advanced it was, it could not withstand such a heavy blow. The armor was penetrated and the shells smashed into the cabin.
The shortening of the distance changed the situation of the battle. The second Forged Spear did not detonate in mid-air, and the weapon master accurately launched it over an approaching iron-clad ship.
I saw the burning fire falling in, turning the surface of the deck into a burning hell in a blink of an eye, and the blazing fire passed through the curtain of heavy rain and reflected in Lorenzo's eyes.
The paint antimony in the fuel tank burned again. After violent vibrations, the Black Angel rose into the sky. Its iron feathers spread out. Driven by the storm, it quickly moved towards the fire behind the curtain.
What follows is the familiar plot. After lowering to a certain height, the hook rope breaks through the air and pulls the Black Angel towards the armored ship.
A salvo of cannon fire sounded.
Instead of targeting the Morning Glory Advance, this time the shelling was aimed at the Black Angel.
A cold chill passed through Lorenzo's heart along with the cannonballs. When the Black Angel was moving at high speed, several cannonballs hit the rain curtain. They almost brushed past the Black Angel's body. Lorenzo even The sound of intense friction between metals can be heard.
The gliding figure was disturbed by this blow and lost its balance. The Black Angel spun and hit the armored ship. Lorenzo reacted in time and simply spun out of control. Thousands of sharp swords quickly cut and destroyed the path. everything.
This generation of armor has unimaginable mobility. Black Angel hardly needs any time to relax after falling. One hook is recovered and another hook is shot out. Just like the previous tactics, Black Angel was dragged across the surface of the deck. It doesn't even need to make any offensive gestures, it is the most deadly weapon in itself.
It's like a rolling hedgehog, except that instead of fragile hard material, it has thousands of sharp steel feathers inserted into it.
The pirates who were preparing to fight only saw a blur of darkness hitting them, and then their flesh and blood bodies were smashed to pieces, and blood flowed into rivers.
Reaching the end of the hook rope, the Black Angel finally stopped from the continuous fluctuations. Lorenzo did not continue to accelerate the attack, but looked into the rain curtain.
That was the direction from which the shelling had just come. Although there was no light, Lorenzo knew very well that something was coming.
The roaring sound of the cannon sounded again. When Lorenzo heard the sound, the cannonball had already arrived in front of him. The Black Angel reacted quickly. It turned sideways, its iron feathers tilted, and rubbed against the cannonball fiercely. After the flash of fire, the shell hit the cabin behind the Black Angel.
After Lorenzo looked at the rain curtain, he heard a vague cry, and then a sharp horn smashed through the rain curtain.
"Valhalla!"
Zeo roared with all his strength, and under his feet, the scarred Black Fang was lifted high by the waves, like a sharp sword blade.
Artillery fire roared from all directions.
The pirates switched targets, and all guns were pointed at the Black Angel.
For a moment, Lorenzo felt that everything in front of him began to slow down, and everything became extremely clear.
Dense water splashes splashed up, illuminated by lightning, and were as crystal-clear as crystal. On their smooth surfaces, dozens of rolling hot cannonballs were reflected. They smashed the rain along the way, and the broken raindrops formed a There are gray lines one after another.
The lines intersect, and the only point of intersection is the Black Angel.
This is a dead end. These pirates have long been aware of the existence of the Black Angel. In order to hunt themselves, they even chose to sacrifice the armored ship under their feet.
In the dead silence, fires all over the sky ignited from behind the Black Angel. One second, the Black Angel was still standing still, but the next moment its figure became distorted. Amid the crazy acceleration, Lorenzo could feel the pressure from his back. , as if a heavy punch hit him in the back.
The distance that originally required several seconds of action was reached in an instant. The Black Angel forcibly found a glimmer of hope in this dead situation, and it passed by the cannonballs.
The armored ship underfoot was hit by dozens of cannonballs, destroyed and turned into a rising sea of ​​flames.
The dark shadow rushed out of the sea of ​​​​fire, its wings spread out like a dark cross.
