The ceiling above his head is creaking, the floor beneath his feet is constantly shaking, everything in his sight is shaking and breaking, and through the cracked wall, he can even see that a huge beam running through the hull has been bent There was an arc visible to the naked eye, and when the beam was completely overwhelmed, it was the moment when the ship was completely destroyed.
This camouflaged passenger ship has persisted for two full hours under the siege of three pirate ships. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for a few pirate ships to defeat such a large ship equipped with super-standard defensive firepower. The well-educated Charlemagne Ysu could tell at a glance that the three gray airships outside were just covered with the shell of a pirate ship, and the magic flash emanating from the black iron deck had a dazzling golden-red color. Only the highest-purity mana-focusing crystals can produce brilliance, and this kind of crystals can be used to make artillery, which is a treatment that regular troops may not necessarily enjoy.
This is a trap, or rather, this trip has been accompanied by a deep conspiracy from the very beginning.
However, it is completely meaningless to think about traps and conspiracies at this time. No matter how sensitive the political nerves are at this time, they cannot prevent the suspension of the floating engine and the rupture of the hull. The most important thing is to find a way to save the ship— If you can't save them, at least you have to ensure that one of you and your sister can reach the empire safely, and tell His Majesty the emperor who has the blood of a dragon about what happened today.
"boom!!"
A burning crystal cannonball pierced through the already riddled magic shield of the White Pearl, and exploded outside the VIP cabin. The bulkhead could not withstand such an explosion, and was directly smashed to pieces, while the powerful shock wave rushed into the cabin, A personal guard standing near the window was blown out before he could react in time, and had already lost his life in mid-air, while Charlemagne activated the pendant on his chest at the critical moment, and a translucent barrier blocked him from the shock wave. between.
Several guards dressed as ordinary passengers who had stayed outside the room rushed in. Their foreheads were bleeding, and they looked like ghosts from the Gorgon Abyss. Obviously, the previous explosion also affected them.
"His Royal Highness!" A guard shouted nervously. The smoke and sawdust in the room made them unable to see Charlemagne's situation clearly. They could only see a crumbling magic barrier shining slightly in the center of the room, "Are you all right?" Bar?!"
A breeze blew away the smoke and dust in the room, and a disheveled Charlemagne came out: "I'm fine—where is Awenna?"
"Her Royal Highness is still in the magic center," one of the personal guards shouted loudly. The continuous artillery fire outside made him have to shout at his prince to understand, "The three power columns are all shut down. Find a way to restart the central, otherwise the whole ship will lose power... "
As if to echo the words of the personal guard, there was another weird scream inside the airship, and then everyone felt their feet sway, and the whole ship tilted in a certain direction, and the already overwhelmed The main support beam of the ship even made a terrible crackling sound deep in the hull.
Charlemagne knew what had happened: the output of the magic center had dropped severely, and the weak magic power it output was not even enough to keep one-third of the airship's floating engines continuing to operate. After losing most of the floating engines, it was still running The running floating engine became the fatal point that tore the entire ship apart.
Charlemagne glanced at the guards around him. These heroic fighters are experienced fighters, and they can outnumber ordinary soldiers under any circumstances. But on a crumbling airship, no matter how Excellent swordsmanship and magic are also useless.
At the beginning of the attack, he thought it was an ordinary pirate incident, so he prepared his sword and magic stone. As long as those pirates dared to jump on the ship and start plundering, he was confident that Get rid of all the bandits on the ship—the royal family members of the ancient kingdom of Yisu never relied on dining etiquette and waltz to govern the kingdom, but the subsequent development was different from what they imagined.
The pirates continued to bombard and chase the ship with more firepower than the regular army, and they had no intention of looting at all, which revealed a lot of information.
And Charlemagne and his heroic guards also lost their use.
The prince gritted his teeth: "Go to each cabin, gather all the people who can still be saved, women and children first, and take them all to the dining room. You, go and inform Aiwenna, let her give up the magic center, and bring all the people who can still be saved to the dining room. Use the power column to bring it to the dining room. Tell the captain to give up the counterattack and concentrate the energy on the engine, before the flying ship disintegrates as close as possible to the border of the empire, and once the ship disintegrates, activate the escape circle under the dining room."
A personal guard hesitated for a moment: "But Your Highness, we are above the world rift, far away from any magic node, we are likely to be directly transported to the core of the world..."
"But there is also a half chance of being safely sent to the surface," Charlemagne waved his hand forcefully, "Don't ask so many questions, this is an order!"
The guards nodded and turned to leave, but at this moment, a sharp-eyed guard suddenly noticed something above the clouds.
Since the walls of the cabin have been completely blown away, as long as you look up, you can see the sky outside.
"Look over there!! Another boat! A... weird boat!"
Charlemagne looked in astonishment at the direction the guards were pointing at. He had already seen the ship. It was a large ship with a length of hundreds of meters. It shines silver-white in the sun, with an inexplicable majestic aura, but it has no magic sails, no rippling element wakes, and the shape of the hull is a cuboid that has never been seen before. Like a palace in the sky with clean lines, it rushed obliquely from the clouds, as if it had fallen.
Considering that it has neither a magic sail nor an elemental wake, and it doesn't look like something that can fly, Charlemagne thinks it might have fallen.
Then this "falling" strange airship smashed straight at the most powerful one of the three pirate ships, and directly hit the latter into fireworks all over the sky.
Charlemagne's eyebrows twitched, feeling that the ship fell really accurately.
But soon the strange silver-white airship stopped the falling trend, raised its bow and slowly adjusted its course, aiming at the next pirate ship...
Charlemagne blinked: Well, it seems that it didn't fall.
One of the three pirate ships was smashed to pieces on the spot, and the other two were stunned. After the last round of burning crystal shells hit the White Pearl like inertia, the two pirate ships fell into a strange state of silence. The undisciplined pirates were a bit overwhelmed by the loss of their boss - and in this way.
The White Pearl is also silent, because it has no extra power to take any action, and being able to maintain afloat is already the biggest miracle that this ship has shown.
The scene was once very embarrassing.
But when the Giant Turtle Rock Terrace finished pulling up and slowly adjusted its angle to aim at the next pirate ship, this embarrassment was finally broken.
The two pirate ships adjusted their headings and artillery firing angles at the same time. As outlaws all year round, they chose the most instinctive solution: kill this uninvited guest who broke in suddenly.
Although the ship is large, it has no magic sails or elemental tracks, so it doesn't look like it can fly well, maybe it's easy to bully—it just fell off at the right angle. The boss's ship was smashed.
And the fact that it fell itself speaks for itself. This ship really can't fly well. Now, although it barely regains its altitude, it might break after a little hit—and then it will be an extra sum of money. of the entry.
Anyway, the "White Pearl" was hopeless, and the powerless airship was just meat on the chopping board.
After the great pirate Kant cured his headache, the average IQ of his gang of pirates was obviously not enough.
All in all, dozens of bright lines of fire quickly cut through the sky, falling towards the giant turtle rock platform.
A series of explosions erupted on the starship's energy shield, but the shield didn't even shake.
Then it adjusted its angle and slammed straight into the second pirate ship.
The continuous burning crystal shells bombarded this strange "airship" like raindrops, but the grand explosion could not hinder this large warship at all, and its speed even became faster and faster. When the second ship When the pirate ship realized that something was going wrong and hurriedly tried to avoid it, the collision was completely unavoidable.
A loud noise even dispersed the high-altitude clouds. Charlemagne and his personal guards watched helplessly as the pirate ship crashed into scattered debris on the bow of the silver-white ship. The flamboyant pirate ship was completely terminated, turning into wreckage and falling into the world rift below.
What happened next gave everyone a chill: the silver-white ship adjusted its orientation again, and began to accelerate towards the third pirate ship.
And the previous bombardment of the white-haired burning crystal shells did not leave a single trace on the silver-white armor of the ship.
The only remaining pirate ship finally realized that disaster was imminent, and the terrified pirates frantically adjusted their course to avoid this "savage monster". It was too slow in front of the spaceship. Charlemagne saw that the "silver airship" quickly caught up with the fleeing pirates, and chased it tenaciously for a short distance before smashing it headlong.
On the bridge of the Giant Turtle Rock Terrace, Nolan's holographic image clapped his hands: "It's done, manual."
"Hanging your head around the ship's side, you don't look like a good person." Vivienne remembered the appearance of the three pirate ships, and couldn't help frowning. "But then again, why do we have to hit it?"
"What can I do? The guns can't be used," Nolan spread his hands, "And I've been a ship for so long, and I haven't tried ramming yet. It's fun."
"Aren't you dizzy?" Hao Ren looked at Miss Jianniang with concern.
"It's okay, the aircraft in the atmosphere is very brittle," Nolan waved his hand, "I'm stumped!"
