The Bizarre Adventure of Tartaros Fleet

The stars of the past can only be silent.

Compared with ships sailing at sea, airships can't get supplies for a much longer time, so at least half of the cabins need to be filled with supplies, such as food, etc., but even so, it's still not enough—drinking water is not enough anyway of.Ships at sea can still wait for some precipitation, but there is never any rain in the sky between the mainland and the mainland. Except for a few islands in the middle that can be replenished with water, there is no way to get water supplies halfway.

But fortunately, there is no way.

Since ancient times, a creature called floating whale has existed in the ocean. They grow up in the sea, and when they mature, they will leave the ocean and fly into the air, wandering around the mainland, and their body length can even reach more than ten meters.It has long been discovered that this kind of creature has the ability to store clean water in its body. They swallow a large amount of water in the sea or at the mouth of the river, or even springs under the continent, filter it into clean water and store it in the water bag in the body, and then Sustain sailing for a long time.After growing up a bit and being fully prepared, the floating whale will open its fully mature fins and fly to the other end of the sky with the wind, never to return to human sight.

Even the best explorers have no way of figuring out where these floating whales ended up, but this does not prevent navigators from using the characteristics of these creatures to complete long-distance voyages - capturing one or two floating whales, Tether them to the side of the airship with ropes.This kind of creature is very insensitive to pain, they will not resist, but will follow obediently like a balloon, and will not cause additional weight and resistance to the airship.

Then the crew pierced the skin and muscle of the floating whale with the water pump, inserted it into the water bag to pump water, and at the same time fed the floating whale with the sewage generated by life, so that it can last during the long voyage. Get clean water - this is also one of the basics of long-distance sailing.But even with this kind of living water tank, the supply is still barely enough, leaving only a little bit of redundancy.

And there are many terrible things to face in long-distance sailing... Sudden changes in wind direction, even storms, and yaw, all of which will delay the journey, and once the journey is delayed, there may not be enough food and water to drink.In addition to these, the animals living in the sea of ​​clouds are also dangers that cannot be ignored-this place is no different from the sea, there is never a shortage of dangerous creatures, some stupid guys regard the airship as an edible animal, and jump on it. Biting the iron-clad wooden deck, some smart guys recognized it as a means of transportation, and their targets were even directly the crew, but no matter what the other party thought, the crew had to use spears and machetes to let them know how powerful it was .

If one is injured during this process, even if one escapes the fate of death by chance, one will end up disabled in the end.Because in this kind of place, it is impossible to get proper medical treatment just by thinking about it.

But even more frightening are the behemoths known as sky patrollers—creatures larger than the largest airships, strong but nimble, never approaching the ground.They will actively attack the ships they find, and they will not back down even in the face of the fleet.In other words, even if an entire fleet confronts a sky patroller, it will still pay a huge price.

So far, no one has been able to hunt down a single Skywatcher.

The trouble is that there is exactly one gathering area of ​​sky patrollers near this channel.If it is normal, it can be bypassed without incident, but this time because of the storm two weeks ago, the yaw was blown, and a lot of time was wasted. If it is very close to the gathering area and passes in a straight line, the people on this boat may starve to death in the air.

In the sea of ​​clouds, people usually have no right to choose, and all they can do is choose the lesser of two evils.Most of the time, no matter how you choose, you will face risks, and you can only avoid the option of 'absolutely dead'.

So the former Captain Star decided to try his luck.

"Attention everyone, raise the altitude, keep the course and continue moving forward." He said as clearly as possible to the brass microphone at hand, "All observers, take the binoculars and enter the post, and report immediately when you see the sky patroller."

Following this order, the observers climbed up the rope ladder and went to the fixed post above the airbag and the pod below the hull.The sea of ​​clouds will obscure the sight, and navigating in the clouds is equivalent to blindfolding oneself, and handing over the initiative to the monsters in the clouds, so you must climb the height and give yourself time and space to react.

A total of six ballistas on both sides have also been prepared—the structure of the airship itself is not as stable as that of a sea ship. It is impossible to use the artillery with huge recoil and too heavy itself. The crossbow bolts with toxins are enough to use, so most airships are equipped with ballistas, bows, and spring wheel muskets, but there are not many of them.

But if you really encounter sky patrollers, these things are the last resort, and the function is limited to expressing 'I have fought before'.So what to do is to find the enemy first, and then run away.

The stars of yesteryear knelt down in the captain's cabin and prayed to the gods, and Oragos was waiting by his side—many-armed men never believed in gods, but the conflicts of the past taught every multi-armed man not to treat anyone else's Faith is critical, as long as you watch it from the sidelines, no matter how strange it is, you don't have to take it to your heart.

But in the next instant, the sound coming from the brass pipe made Oragos sigh from the depths of his soul——

[I saw it!I see it!In the clouds on the port side!Look at that white back!captain! ! 】

Sure enough, gods don't exist at all.

Xingchen's heart tightened in the past, he stood up hastily, threw aside the prayer icon in his hand, tore off the beautifully decorated spring wheel gun from the shelf, and strode out of the cabin.The strong wind outside almost blinded his eyes, and there was a strong and strong smell in the air. Xingxing in the past walked to the brass sound tube outside, and raised the binoculars to look in the direction the observer said.

It was a giant white beast, it shuttled through the clouds, it had a whale-like body and a huge head.There were countless folds condensed on the front of the head, and the skin shone milky white under the sunlight.It jumped out of the tumbling clouds, the huge fins on its side stirred up the airflow, and a large beard could be seen on its chin—each of those beards should be as thick as an arm, and they were twisted and twisted, just like Like a swarm of snakes.

The height of the 'March Chief' was not high enough, and the position where it appeared was too close, no one could react at all.

"Did you miscalculate?! Why did you meet here!"

"I can't possibly be wrong!"

Oragos felt that the blood in her whole body was about to freeze. For the first time, she felt this kind of fear from the bottom of her heart—even from such a distance, she could know that the giant beast was watching her.It wasn't angry or hungry, and its eyes were looking at it at the level of 'have some fun' at best.

When a cat wants to have fun with anything smaller than itself, it is a catastrophe for the victim.Being smart enough to know how to make yourself happy and not smart enough to communicate is the scariest thing.

"...I guess stray entities have flown outside. Order, Captain."

This is also reasonable, but it is irrelevant to investigate why now.The old stars came to the brass megaphone and shouted:

"Quick! Put on the jib! Pull up the front and back!"

The sailors worked together, the ropes and pulleys rattled, all the sails were opened, and the ship flew quickly over the sea of ​​clouds as if it had spread several huge wings.But the Sky Patrol is faster, and it can move through the air without relying on the wind, just like a bird.Its snow-white back peak loomed in the clouds, shining dazzlingly, and the moist heat of its breath caused ripples in the wind.

Even the blind can see the closeness between the two sides - no ship can beat the Sky Ranger in the sea of ​​clouds.

"Looks like the ghost swims faster than I thought," Oragos murmured.

"We will inevitably have a war." Xing Chen held the wheel gun in his hand and checked the gunpowder and bullets inside. "The ancestors are with us. The shooter is in place!!"

"We won't survive sunset today, Captain."

"Say no more, Oragos." The old star lowered his voice, and he could see the thing coming at a gallop. "Some people died in the low tide, some died in the shallow water, and some died in the flood. And we seem to be We are going to die in the sea of ​​clouds, this is our fate, it has already been doomed."

"I hate all your noseless Lowlanders talk about fate. I'll never see my husband and my children again. What will happen to them when I'm dead?"

"At the end of life, all family affection makes people feel nostalgic, but it is getting farther and farther away. Don't say any more...shake hands and goodbye, friend."

Five hands clasped each other, and two pairs of eyes stared at each other.

"Left rudder two! Get ready!!"

The monster was getting closer and closer, and the crew could see two rows of curvy and shiny pearl-colored short teeth outside its closed giant muzzle—short was only compared with its size, and for a human body Said it was like a long sword.

"put!!"

Accompanied by a heavy string, three crossbow bolts coated with poison... No, the size can already be regarded as a spear, and they suddenly flew towards the white demon.But it just patted its fins lightly, and the three crossbow arrows had already brushed its belly and flew into the sea of ​​clouds, invisible in the blink of an eye.It took advantage of this opportunity to approach rapidly, and the shooters frantically reloaded, but they couldn't keep up anyway.Sailors with muskets and bows rushed to the side of the ship, shooting indiscriminately with trembling hands.

The empty gunshots and chaotic strings, neither lead bullets nor arrows can stop this giant beast from approaching, the wind disrupts the trajectory of the arrows and makes them fly to strange places, even if they hit, it is meaningless, because these weak The projectiles couldn't even hurt its thick skin—it was as ridiculous as a toothpick thrown by a soldier in full armor.The crew saw the monster, larger than the airship, rushing with an air-shocking roar and gaping its jaws at the airship.The terrifying sense of oppression emanating from the giant beast shattered the sense of resistance in everyone's hearts. People stood on the deck, at a loss, allowing death to grab them.

But at this moment, a burst of thunder suddenly sounded.

It was like 1 drummers beating war drums vigorously, and 20 trumpets roared towards the sky. It completely suppressed the sound of the violent wind, and only rushed down from mid-air—that was a boat, a boat without airbags that could Flying in the air, it has gorgeous gold and red paint, as beautiful as a ship from heaven.She descended rapidly, decelerating at an astonishing speed, and stopped less than [-] meters to starboard.

A gust of hot wind spread around and blew onto the ship.

"This is?!"

Even the Skywatcher was puzzled by this, breaking off its attack and climbing sharply, staring at the ship as it circled side to side, trying to find the weak point of the loud-sounding creature.

The next moment, the circular structure above the ship moved, and it turned quickly towards the Sky Patrolman, as if held by an invisible thread.Immediately afterwards, the huge explosion frightened several crew members to fall to the ground on the spot—that tiny metal tube turned out to be a cannon, and it fired at an astonishingly fast rate!First five, then five more, and the shells flew right next to the Sky Ranger's head and exploded with a loud noise and a flash of incredible brightness.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"

Is that howling before dying?

No... the explosion didn't tear apart the sky patroller's flesh, and there wasn't even a drop of blood.In order to avoid the following rays of light, it rolled and dived into the clouds. After a few seconds, the roar of the Sky Watcher gradually faded away and disappeared on the other side of the sky.

At the moment of realizing this, Xingchen in the past was so happy that he wanted to shout out.But his physical strength cannot support him to do this.The incident of attacking the monster at close range just now has taken away almost all of his physical strength, making him want to find a place to sit for a while.

It's amazing...

This ship cannot be made by any country that I know, and even a ship made of iron cannot fly in the sky at all.

With the sound of blowing air, the door beside the boat opened.Appearing at the door was a man wearing armor that seemed to be from the wrong era... But, isn't that armor too thick?Judging from the thickness of the shoulder armor, it is not surprising that this set of armor is as heavy as four or five people, but that person actually walked out as if he didn't feel the weight, not only walked out, but also jumped...

and many more……

jumped? !

With a distance of half a boat, this person actually chose to jump over?

"what?!"

When he made a sound that he didn't know whether it was surprise or fear, the guy in the armor with red background and gold trim and decorated with skulls had already landed on the deck.Accompanied by the sound of the heavy impact, a big hole was smashed through the deck, the wood splashed everywhere, the whole ship trembled frighteningly, and a cloud of dust rushed out from the hole in the deck.

The second red-armored soldier following him realized something in the air, and flames spewed out from behind immediately.But he still seemed to have concerns, and the flame went out in less than half a second.

boom……

This person stepped on the deck, and still stepped through a hole, but he reacted a step faster and opened his arms before the whole person fell in - the whole lower body of the person was firmly stuck in the hole.

"..."

"..."

"..."

The two sides looked at each other for a few seconds, and wordless embarrassment spread in the gust of wind.

Immediately afterwards, the door under the poop building was pushed open with a 'bang' sound, and the red-armored warrior, covered with smashed vegetables, strode out from inside.He and the guy who was stuck on the deck and hadn't climbed out looked at each other, and the movement stopped for half a second.Even uneducated sailors could tell that the two men made some serious eye contact.

This is definitely not Liwei, nor is it intended to express any special meaning, it must be a simple mistake...

Twice in a row...

Oragos opened his mouth halfway, and it took him a long time to utter a word:

"Look, I'll just say that God doesn't exist... Here's the proof..."

Such a guy can't be a messenger sent by God to save the world. How could the messenger crash himself into a food warehouse or get stuck in a boat? ,

Although they must have a lot of background, they will definitely not be gods.But anyway, everyone is saved now.

Xing Chen watched the guy covered in rotten vegetables cautiously walk towards him, crunching the wooden plank under his feet.

She opened her mouth and made a woman's voice, but the language she spoke was completely incomprehensible to her...but for some reason, she felt very familiar.It seemed like I had heard such a language in the very ancient past, but when was that?Where is it again?

Some memories that did not belong to him seemed to come out from the depths of his mind, accompanied by a strong fear and sadness that could not be resolved. He was almost overwhelmed by strong emotions, but with perseverance he overcame the desire to kneel down and cry bitterly .Xing Chen was taken aback by his strange reaction.

And the other party also showed a shaken look, took out a strange square box and put it on his forehead - I don't know what this is doing, maybe it is a ritual or something?

Although she didn't know what she was doing, Xing Chen instinctively decided not to move.

Then she can understand what she said.

"We are Oregana 0032, Grand Warlord of Tartarus," she said. "Please tell us where this place is, and... who are you?"

Chapter 1163 Chapter 183 : The Little Secret of the Stars of the Past

The corpse kun (fog) was chased away, it was quite annoyed, but no matter how angry it was, it couldn't stand the dazzling light and the roar that made its brain buzz, and finally chose to evacuate immediately.I came here to have fun, not to come here to hunt for food, if I can't find the fun, I'll just leave.

They don't talk about fighting for dignity, saying that if you let me down, I must let you down too, at worst, you will die together-wild animals don't do this, they never engage in meaningless fights.Even at the top of the food chain, the injuries caused by fighting can prevent prey from being hunted, and then become weak from starvation and become food for other animals.

There's no need to hurt yourself, let's let them go this time.

It wagged its tail into the clouds and disappeared—it just couldn't think about it, and it wouldn't think about who let who go.

Liu Lizi showed a strange expression, she looked at Oregana and said:

"Boss, we don't hunt that guy? So we don't want the big head?"

That's a really big head, and Khorne would be glad to see it, but the Skullmaker was deliberate in chopping off every head except his own - of course it's just her own opinion, since she was eating shrimp It can be seen that the skull and the small fish will also offer a skull base.Sometimes even just after talking about the head offering skull seat, he turned his head and threw the dried head of the small fish to the two big cats under the table to eat.

Anyone who thinks about it carefully knows that "Salted Fish Stan: Ride on the Chaos Egg" may be released at any time...

But today she really thought about it:

"Forget it today. The origin of this thing is unknown. Don't hunt and kill it until you figure it out. Just drive it away." She put on her helmet and hung the chopping ax on the weapon rack in the boat—it won't be used for the next work. This kind of handsome (xiong) gas (e) weapon "Have you seen "Journey to the West"? This may be the kind of monster with 'backstage'."
