Chapter 536: 536
Chapter 537-Giving Your Grandfather Yang
The steel warship in purple battle makeup cut through the waves and roared as it advanced.
The ear-piercing air-defense alarm sounded continuously.
” Unknown warship discovered!”
“I already saw it!”
Master Neola looked at the steel warship that was galloping on the surface of the sea in disbelief. It was definitely not an armored ship wrapped in iron armor, but a warship made entirely of steel! Just the amount of steel required for this project was an astronomical figure that would surprise even a large country. Moreover, it did not have sails!
The towering sphere and mast-like spires on the bridge clearly had uses that he did not know of. This extremely heavy steel warship was cutting through the blue waves at a terrifying speed that surpassed a light sailboat, roaring forward like a swordfish. This meant that the power system adopted by the enemy had matured to the point of being almost terrifying, at least far surpassing the magical revolving machine that the Arcane Magic Council had invested a lot of money and manpower to develop.
Even the Antonyers, which had a displacement of 2,000 tons, with the auxiliary power of the sails, the highest speed of this world’s most advanced magic armored ship was only 14 knots!
And that ship…There were at least twenty-nine sections!
A wise mage would not need to think about what this meant.
The council had invested a lot of money into the arcanotech armored ship that they thought would usher in a new era of the navy. In front of such an extremely fast warship made of steel…It was simply a sampan.
The silver-white hull had simple lines and a unique design with a strange shape. There were many unknown structures that had unknown uses but must have some function. There were also attack devices that constantly appeared in the dark light on the hull. All of them indicated the identity of the owner of this ship.
There was only one such alchemy design on the continent.
He sighed in despair.
“.. Kant.”
Kant!
Forbidden Spell Mages, Great Alchemists, Space Masters, and the reason why the Azure Fleet had attacked Goethe, the source of this incident that could shake the political situation of the continent, came from the dragon descendants of Aurora.
As the distorted and corrupted dragon descended from the sky, almost instantly bringing the invincible fleet of the three great powers of this world to the brink of destruction, this unprecedented warship leaped out of the Dimensional Gate.
Now, there was only one problem left.
Was it a bad result or an even worse result?
In other words…Could Kant have done something to these mutated dragons?
“Fa… I’ve discovered a situation!”
The Hawkeye Officer’s voice was a little timid.
It was a kind of persistence that said,” Even if I have to be made difficult by my superior, I still choose to fulfill my duties.”
Neola’s eyes widened.
He swore that as long as this bird of mourning shouted,” The unknown warship is suspected to have formed a sea-air confluence with the mutated dragon and is advancing towards our division,” he would immediately capture this bird and throw him onto the Concealed Cultivator, letting him be eaten by the corrosive elements. If this bird turned into a puppet and continued to display his advantages, he might even be able to turn the situation around a little.
However, this time, the other party shouted,” Unknown fleet’s unknown weapon system detected, initiating anti-air defense!” Flying units detected in the area are diving down to attack!”
Niola strode to the front of the crystal ball. Although the Eagle Eye spell was convenient, it still required large-scale magical equipment to observe the battlefield. From the ball, he saw the strange dragon in the sky roaring and flapping its wings of decay. It swooped down from all directions, spraying venom and stabbing like a raptor.
Although naval warfare tactics were constantly evolving, there were already aerial mages and even aerial knights who took off from their own ships to launch mid-range attacks on enemy ships.
However, it was usually only used to bully small targets with low magic and air defense.
After all, large warships were equipped with a large number of ballistae, Battle Mages, Magic Devices, and well-trained marines. Against such a large sea fortress, the lethality and endurance of a few Mages were obviously insufficient. Not to mention the limited number of Aerial Knights.
Therefore, even if there was an air defense project, it was only limited to dealing with large-scale spell attacks beyond the visual range and the harassment of a small number of elite mages. Even though the number of dragon mercenaries had increased recently, the navies of various countries did not take this matter to heart. After all, the multiple defense systems of large warships were enough to scare off any dragon.
But this time, the three navies suffered a great loss.
The Distorted Dragon opened its shield and descended from the sky to launch a surprise attack. It did not dodge or slow down, directly hitting and corroding the ship’s hull. This lightning-like high-speed penetration easily tore through the air defense network that the fleets of various countries were proud of. Before this, the naval battle was an elegant and patient confrontation between two giants.
Therefore, the enemy within the Canglan Fleet had first destroyed the Concealed Cultivator and created chaos within the fleet. Then, high-speed air strikes descended from the sky from the outside. In just a few moments, four ships had been taken over and eroded. The rest of the fleet was exhausted from self-defense and could not organize a counterattack. They could only rely on the powerful firepower of the Antonyers to barely protect themselves. This was under the condition that the flagship was not lost and the command chain was stable.
The dynasty’s fleet in the distance was already on the verge of collapse.
Even the elves who had preserved their combat power had lost one of their ships.
Neola understood that there would be a time when magic power was exhausted, and there would be a time when mages would be tired. Magic devices would be overloaded, and the enemy would become stronger and stronger. Failure was only a matter of time.
The dynasty’s fleet would be the first to be annihilated, and the mutated dragons that had eroded the dynasty’s fleet would turn to look for their next target. The snowball-like oppression would destroy the blue fleet and the elf fleet one by one, and then gather into a terrifying flood that would swallow the pitiful Far Harbor and massacre the city.
He had already seen the ending, but he was struggling desperately.
But deep down, he hoped that a miracle would happen.
It was just that he refused to admit it.
Because the only hope now…It was a little awkward.
The council was beyond their reach, the dragons were destroyed, the elves could not take care of themselves, and Goethe was the only hope for survival in death…It was Kant, who had never appeared.
Then, the steel warship leaped out, cutting through the blue waves and shaking the four seas.
“.. Captain?”
Hawkeye said timidly.
“Hmm?” Master Neola glanced at him.
Unknowingly, his attitude had become much friendlier.
The young crew member whispered,”This ship…” Are they allies?”
“That’s Kant’s ship!” Grandmaster glared. Of course not!”
“But now…They are already engaged in battle with our enemies.” Hawkeye asked,” Can we win?”
The captain glanced at him in annoyance.” You built a 150-meter-long, steel-structured warship with a displacement of several thousand tons, and gave it a speed of more than 29 knots. Are you going to make it into a yacht?”
His gaze was filled with a sigh and bitterness.
For a moment, he didn’t know if he wanted Kant to win or not.
However, the light danced wildly, and the flowing light was like a shuttle, already streaking towards the sky.
“Ah…This…”
The Realm Gate opened from the distant harbor, and all the Goethe people who were watching from the coast saw the unprecedented steel warship jump out. The buzzing air defense alarm swept across the entire city, and all the riots and panic were shocked by this unforgettable scene. They saw the roaring waves and the rising waves.
Stella covered her mouth subconsciously. She didn’t realize that her tears were flowing until her vision was blurred by her tears. The high-ranking officials of Blue Wave Province exclaimed and then cheered.
After all, they had witnessed the shock that this Aurora man had brought to Goethe.
It was once said that the stars of the sky fell from the sky of Valentan, and that the wings of steel ruled the sky of Lucerne, but that was only a legend. There was no real feeling until now, when destruction was about to come, fear was endless, and then the phase gate opened, and the divine ship fell from the sky.
Only then did they know that what they said was true.
Another monster roared and descended from the sky.
Amidst the passionate roars, the people saw the roaring warships advancing forward. Countless purple and golden streams of light shot into the sky from the dispersed smoke, like the long sword of the Sun God streaking across the sky. The constantly rotating magic device spat out fatal electric light, and the metal torrent chased after the dragon beasts that circled and swooped down in the sky. The monsters roared, and blood splattered across the sky. The purple electric river that was like a violent storm interweaved a net of death!
” Unknown warship is heading towards the dynasty’s fleet!”
At the bridge of the flagship of the Twilight Moon Fleet, the elven commander had already handed over the command of the battlefield to his deputy. At that moment, even the attack of the aberrant dragon was insignificant because the warship that Kant had piloted was beyond their understanding. It might even shake the Twilight Moon’s sea authority!
He had to search and observe all possible information!
The commander saw that the high-speed dive attack that had caused his fleet to suffer was intercepted by the terrifying intertwining lightning rays. The Aberrant Dragon’s shield only lasted for a moment before it was penetrated like a tile.
Soon after, its huge body twitched and trembled. Immediately, it turned into fine pieces of flesh and blood that scattered all over the place. In an instant, it turned into powder and was easily blasted apart before it could get close…It did not pose any threat at all!
His heart sank, and his confident and arrogant face revealed uneasiness and even panic.
” The development of weapons and tactics is targeted. Sharper arrows are used to break through tougher armor, tougher armor is used to resist sharper arrows, sealed magic devices that can rotate 360 degrees, and metal torrents with extremely high firing speed…One of the functions of this ship’s weapon system is to intercept high-speed air targets!”
“Kant…Why did they build this ship? What is he guarding against?”
” Also,” he muttered,” since he developed such a weapon system, it means that he is no stranger to high-speed penetration tactics! Ah! The super high-speed aircraft that appeared during the Battle of Danfeng and Lucerne!”
The elven commander cried out involuntarily. He thought of the battle report of the Battle of Lucerne. The high-speed aircraft that was far faster than the Dragon Knights had thrown out powerful alchemist bombs, causing the Dragon Knights to die in the sky and the expedition army to suffer heavy casualties. The same tactics were used in naval battles…
And he even developed countermeasures?
For the first time, the arrogant commander felt an emotion called fear.
After easily shattering the Aberrant Dragon’s attack, the steel warship whistled continuously, carrying a surging aura as it charged towards the dynasty’s fleet closest to it.
“It’s coming!”
At that moment, the dynasty’s fourth squadron was already in tatters. The Black Forest had completely turned into a parasitic corrosive body of the aberrant dragon. The ramming horn swept across, and artillery fire roared. Almost all of the crew members had been corroded, and several warships around them had been infected. The remaining ships fled like stray dogs. The aberrant dragon’s parasitic ships that descended from the sky had begun an infectious pursuit, and at that moment, they had a new target.
Abandoning the pursuit and suppression of the small and medium-sized ships, Lutz, who was occupying the stern of the Black Forest, flapped his wings and stirred up the wind, pushing the ship to change direction. The other parasitic ships followed suit and brazenly charged at the Knight Astolford. The dragon’s vicious curses were endless!
” How dare you, dogs with broken spines, bark in front of me!”
The bow, the side, the stern, the deck, the bridge…As long as it was not a hindrance, Kant would deploy large and small battle platforms. Horus, the alchemy puppets, and the Graywind swarm would take over the fire control. The helipad at the tail of the ship was even equipped with a double magically modified 105mm smooth-bore cannon tower. The Horizon class frigate with fully upgraded firepower galloped across the blue sea, with large and small cannon turrets laid flat!
What was attacking from afar were six wooden sailboats.
Horus had already told Kant what had happened recently.
What else was there to say?
“Today, I’ll teach these idiots a lesson!”
Horus personally switched on the fire control, and the twin 105mm howitzer turret turned around.
If he wanted to increase his lethality by ten times, there were only two options. One was to increase his firepower by a hundred times, and the other was to increase his accuracy…It was enough to double!
The mechanical soul of the mechanical life form, the strengthening and modification of the Paragon Element. In an instant, the air humidity, gravity, and the hull of the ship floated… A large amount of data was calculated. At this moment, the enemy warship was close. The mutated dragon was driven by its chaotic intelligence and did not know how to dodge. The hit rate was guaranteed!
Firing Pin Strike!
All the people who were paying attention to the battle could only see the turret at the stern of the warship spewing flames. An almost undetectable black shadow swept across the sky, bringing with it a series of illusory shadows. In the next moment, an aberrant warship disintegrated with a loud bang. The spewing fire waves exploded from the interior of the ship, from the bow to the stern. The invisible shock wave threw a large amount of flesh, wood chips, and fragments into the air, and the flames shone!
The Knight Astorf did not stop for a moment and continued to slash through the waves. The double turret slightly turned and the muzzle was raised. In an instant, a second roar surged, and smoke and fire flourished!
The second aberrant battleship exploded on the spot!
Luz’s roar resounded through the sea, and the Corrosive Fleet immediately changed tactics. The living Fanlun warships turned their massive bodies, and the sailors controlled by the Corrosive Fleet controlled the attack weapons on board. The magic devices on board were also corroded by the Paragon Element. A round of salvo was fired, and the dense elements formed a thick cloud of smoke that covered the Astorford!
Kant sneered from the bridge.
” Although long-distance, high-precision attacks are the way to victory, if the opponent is a sailing warship, let’s do as the locals do and try their romance!
A huge dark radiance spread out from the surface of the sea, and the silver-white steel warship disappeared from the sea.
In the next moment, the Dimension Gate opened up brilliantly, and the warship jumped out from behind the aberrant fleet. The propeller idled until it entered the water. The powerful propulsion system pushed the Knight Afu forward, rushing into the formation of the aberrant fleet. The purple protective shield instantly opened!
The waves surged, and the silver sword cut through the waves. Less than twenty meters apart, the Knight Astolford and the Black Pine Forest crossed each other, their bodies parallel to each other.
From the bow to the stern, 30mm Vulcan Cannons, quad anti-air cannons, dual grenade launchers, 76mm Otto automatic cannons, 40mm infantry tank cannons, 107mm rocket launchers, RPG beehive clusters, and even 105mm smooth-bore cannons were all turned horizontally and aimed at the Black Pine Forest that was close at hand!
“Here! Grandpa! Yang!”
