"Forced landing?" Franklin said in amazement: "Is it necessary to do this? There are not many of them left, if..."
"Deputy captain!"
Feng next to him crossed his arms and said with a smile: "It's okay, the meaning of the head is to force the landing, and it doesn't mean to destroy the other party, does it?"
"It's really troublesome, you have to control the strength well." Su took off the epee and its scabbard, so that he could give full play to the slashing power of the epee without actually cutting the opponent. But this is not enough, Su has to control his strength well, otherwise there is no difference between beheading with a sword and being smashed into a meat paste.
Watching other people start to prepare, the most actions are all to reduce one's energy level to meet the zero requirement. It was only then that Franklin realized that the tacit understanding between Zero and them was beyond the comprehension of a person like himself who had just joined. It was only from a simple order that he could understand the true meaning of the order. Only partners can cultivate this level of tacit understanding.
(Very similar, just like us back then.)
Franklin shook his head, focusing on the present moment.
Looking at the east bank of Istar from a distance, his eyes swept back and forth at the heavy artillery forts on the three docks, then shook his head and said: "The distance is too far to attack outside the range of the heavy artillery. Berrien..."
"Why?" Berien, who was adjusting his energy level, raised his head and asked.
Ling said lightly: "Remove the three forts. As for the gunner, it's fine if he doesn't die."
"It would be easier to just let me blow up the pier." While complaining in his mouth, electric snakes began to flicker between Berrien's hands.
"Come on, Xiaobei!" Hai Wei from behind cheered him up.
"Whispering, let me watch quietly." Berrien clapped his hands, and when he separated, he had already pulled out three lightning balls. After adjusting the energy of the thunderball, and locking on to the three forts on the East Island, Berrien swung it suddenly.
Immediately, three thunderballs broke through the waves and went away!
"Be careful of the opponent's elemental attack! Intercept! Intercept!" Jesse shouted on the Lost One.
The heavy artillery turret on the pier opened fire immediately, and three bright chains of ammunition swept towards Berrien's lightning ball. On the Destiny, Berrien pressed his palm down suddenly, and the ball of lightning disappeared into the sea immediately. When Jesse and the other gunners on the opposite side were confused, Berrien suddenly laughed, stretched his hands upwards and clenched his fists. Immediately, three thunderballs drilled out from the foundation stone below the pier, and accurately penetrated the barrel of the heavy artillery on the pier.
The gun barrel flew into the sky, the fortress was coiled by electric snakes, and the gunner inside jumped out knowingly. After only a few steps, the turret exploded, and the blast air came from behind, knocking them all into the air. All three gunners were slightly injured, but not seriously injured.
After being promoted to a high level, the most obvious improvement of Berrien is the control of elements. The elemental energy emitted from his hands is no longer blindly attacking and bombing, but can make his attacks achieve the most perfect effect through remote sensing. In this way, the ability's hit rate and flexibility are greatly improved, which is exactly the scary thing about high-level abilities.
After clearing out the most threatening fort, Lingduan shouted: "Ola! Go forward at full speed! The target is 30 meters in front of the pier!"
"The rest of the people do a good job of defense and forcefully land when they reach the target location. Their resistance must be disintegrated in the shortest possible time."
Right now, almost all the capable users on the zero ship are distributed on the side decks on both sides of the ship.
On Zero's side are Su, Kaiton and Berrien. Over there are Franklin, Feng, Yeliu and Haiwei. Cinderella and Leah stayed in the control room. The former had a neutral status. As for Leah, a person with a perception domain ability like her was not suitable for charging. Compared to this, she is more suitable to use her own abilities to strengthen the exploration range of the Destiny, so as to avoid some hidden dangers.
The Destiny's four wings stretched out, and it sprayed out a large blue flame, pushing the ship towards the east coast pier at an ever-increasing speed.
Jesse yelled on the ship, commanding the soldiers on the pier to open fire on the Destiny. In the absence of heavy artillery forts, soldiers can only attack with rifles in their hands. On the Sinker, the soldiers were transporting shells to the fort at the front of the ship, but compared to the speed of the Destiny. By the time they finished reloading, they had already reached the door of the house.
In the ruins of the city on the east bank, an open space has been cleared to set up tents as a temporary station for the command team. Tent Riolan heard the sound of cannons and gunshots from the direction of the pier, and immediately asked, "Who can tell me what happened to the pier?"
A soldier should not tell her what happened, and when Franklin was heard Oran conscripted. When he heard that Jesse didn't believe Franklin's words at all and the current situation developed, Olan sighed first, then straightened his body and said, "Take me there to see!"
Walking out of the tent, Olan sighed secretly when he heard the gunshots coming from the direction of the pier. Knowing that because of Ulson's death, Jesse has been blinded by hatred and anger, so that he cannot make a correct judgment.
On the Destiny, Zero One took the lead. The skin of his body has a metallic luster, but the tempered skin has been activated. After greatly improving the defense power, Ling crossed his hands and blocked countless bullets for the people behind him. As for the other side, Franklin was also standing in front of the team doing the same thing as Zero, but he was even more exaggerated. The giant put his hands together, and the skin on his arms was armored and multiplied, forming a shield as big as a round table.
It couldn't be safer for Feng and the others to hide behind this armor shield.
Under the accelerated propulsion of the Destiny, the ship quickly reached the sea surface 30 meters away from the pier. And this distance is enough for everyone to jump ashore.
"The battle begins!"
Zero gave the order, and suddenly there was a turmoil behind him, but Su surpassed him and shot towards the other side of the pier. On the other side of the ship's side, there was also the sound of piercing through the sky, and Feng, Yeliu and Haiwei also jumped out one after another. Berrien stood on the sidelines, after all, his ability was mass destruction. Even if the energy level is lowered, a shot will definitely create more chaos, but the starting point is different from Zero Command.
Zero backed away for a while, and locked on the Perisher directly in front of him. He bowed his body slightly, and a streamer-like bright red light band began to float on his right fist, and then he leaned forward and disappeared on the ship's side.
The next moment, the wind and waves roiled.
On board the Perisher, Jesse watched in disbelief at what was happening before him. This strange ship, which had never been seen before, rushed towards many capable users one after another. They crossed the 30-meter sea and directly boarded the pier, or snatched nearby ships. The violent or light attacks rolled over the docks and ships like a whirlwind. But Istar's soldiers were subdued so easily. When Jesse was about to intercept one or two capable users, he came face to face with awe-inspiring power.
He only saw a man with black hair and golden eyes suddenly disappear on the other side's boat, and then he saw that the other side had appeared on the sea surface at the bow.
There is no connection between the two images, and being able to do so shows that the speed of the visitor has at least broken through the sound barrier. At this time, a wave of waves rose out of nowhere on the sea, and the waves rolled up to both sides, shaped like wings and chasing Zero, marking the trajectory of Zero passing the sea!
The zero right fist that appeared in front of the bow retracted, but when it was thrown out again, it turned into a palm. A palm slapped on the bow of the Perisher, and a circle of bright red energy ripples immediately spread out. From the fist to the palm, the penetrating damage from the deadly sniper turned into a series of shock waves that continued to pass along the bow and the hull. During the strong shock, the people on the ship felt a wave of obscure force fields constantly impacting them.
At the moment, except for Jesse, everyone else was directly stunned. As a result, the soldiers who were loading the fort, as well as other Ishtar fighters attacking with guns, fell to the ground.
After the slap of the palm, Zero's body could no longer maintain a state of stagnation in the air, and he fell down. But he grabbed the rail of the boat and pushed it up again, and the person bounced up. There was a tumble in the air, and when it fell, it was already standing firmly on the deck. Jessie was the only one standing on the deck at the bow.
Jessie yelled and stretched out his hand. The scarlet long sword behind his back bounced, and he grabbed it. The man rushed in the direction of zero, and slashed out with a sword.
There was a layer of faintly visible ripples attached to the sword, and the ripples came out of his face, swinging towards Ling first. Zero raised his arm horizontally, and the ripples swayed on Zero's arm, bursting into sparks. Afterwards, the red sword slashed down hard, but Ling blocked it with one hand!
When there was a sound, the shock force made Jesse's jaw ache. But he still pressed the red sword with one hand desperately, threatening to cut Zero's arm and body in two.
"Stop!" Zero shouted, "We are not enemies, and we landed in this way only because of necessity. But take a good look, your soldiers' lives are not in danger."
"Shut up. I don't welcome rough guests like you!" Jesse yelled, swinging the sword with one hand. The red sword pulled out streaks of rays of light to attack Zero, and Zero kept blocking with both hands, so there were constant sparks between the two.
Every time he blocked a sword, Zero had to take a step back. In the blink of an eye, he had already reached the bow of the ship, and Jessie jumped up suddenly, and sent out another powerful heavy slash. The red sword came crashing down with the momentum of cutting through mountains and rivers, Ling had no choice but to meet the heavy cut with his arms crossed.
The moment the red sword and the arm collided, an invisible force field spread out. The Sinker creaked under the pressure, and the entire bow continued to press down, and the waterline rose all the way. Zero was so crushed by this heavy cut that he had to squat down slightly, while Jesse gritted his teeth and kept increasing the force, trying to kill Zero in one go.
When the stern was raised high, some soldiers who were unconscious on the deck slid to the bow one by one. If this continues, they may fall into the sea. Zero closed his eyes and stood up brazenly amidst the shouting. After pushing Jesse and the red sword away a little, Zero kicked Jesse in the chest, sending him flying backwards like a cannonball.
After kicking Jesse away, the bow stopped sinking. The stern of the ship crashed into the water, splashing a large wave. And the soldiers sliding towards the bow finally stopped, otherwise they fell into the water, it would be no different from being dead.
Jesse hit a mast so hard it shook the mast. He bounced back to the ground and stood up with his sword. Jesse spat out bloody phlegm, and was about to swing the sword again. But Alan's voice came from behind: "Enough! Jesse, he has shown mercy, let alone saved our people, why do you have to swing your sword at each other again?"
"What are you talking about?" Jesse turned around and said angrily, "Olan, are you blind? I didn't see that I kicked him away just now. Can't I pay him back?"
Oran who appeared on the pier said coldly: "If he hadn't kicked you away, the ship would have continued to tilt just now. When the angle exceeded 75 degrees, all the soldiers on board would have fallen into the water. Then I ask you, he kicked you What's wrong with Fei, I will do the same if I change it!"
Jesse was told by her that she saw soldiers lying down not far from Zero. However, several shells on the deck fell into the sea below the ship long ago, so he snorted angrily from his nostrils, but in the end he did not attack again. Oran boarded the ship. At this time, the Destiny came slowly, and Franklin on the port side also jumped onto the Sunkener. The giant looked at Jesse, and finally landed on Olan and said, "I'm sorry, Master Jesse may have misunderstood you before. We have no choice but to use such a rough landing method."
"Misunderstanding?" Jesse sneered, "If Urson hadn't been trying to get you to join, he wouldn't have let the Iron Scale come along. If the Iron Scale couldn't come, how could that guy Sauron drive King Arthur swaggeringly?" Into Istar? Now you come to tell me about the misunderstanding? I don’t think it’s a misunderstanding, it’s just a conspiracy. You, like Diborah, might be Sauron’s lackey!”
"Shut up!"
Oran said coldly: "The battle near the Tower of Harvest that day has been witnessed by other soldiers. They can prove that Mr. Franklin and Lord Ulson joined hands to fight against Sauron. Under the circumstances at that time, Mr. Franklin was completely alone. He left, but he was seriously injured and captured in the end. Such a person, how could he be with Sauron. Jesse, please be sober and stop being swayed by hatred. Otherwise, you will be very dangerous if you continue like this! "
Jesse looked at Oran, and then gave Franklin a hard look. With a final snort, he closed his sword and jumped off the pier to leave by himself.
"I'm sorry, Jesse is still immature." Olan sighed softly: "In his heart, he has always regarded Urson as his big brother and idol. His death hit him hard, so he Make such an irrational judgment."
"It's okay, I'm actually very guilty too. If it wasn't for me, Istar and Ursen would..." Franklin hesitated to speak, and then said after a pause: "This time, the main reason for coming back is See if there is anything that needs my help. Oh, I forgot to introduce, this is my current captain, his name is Zero."
"Zero?" Oran's eyes fell on Zero, and she was a little puzzled.
Franklin himself was also a strong man, and Olan knew very well that a person like Franklin would not condescend to others. But judging from the tone just now, it seems that the relationship between him and the man with an oriental face in front of him is already a superior-subordinate relationship. Oran was very curious, what happened during the time when Oaklin was missing
And why did the black-haired man in front of him come here
It was almost dusk.
The Tower of Abundance of that day no longer exists. Most of the building collapsed, turned into rubble, and melted into one with the city's ruins. Only a small half of the building still stands on the ruins, becoming a witness and symbol of that battle.
The big explosions in the two nuclear power plants in the north and the south divided the whole of Istar into the current eastern peninsula and northern peninsula through the energy transmission pipeline. The Tower of Harvest is located on the edge of the northern peninsula, and the scars left by the split of the island after the explosion that day tend to expand further. I believe that Istar may be completely separated into two unrelated islands in the near future.
At the edge of the northern peninsula, at the top of the remaining small half of the Tower of Harvest, something was shining reflecting the sky.
It was a rapier, Ulson's assassination. It is quietly inserted on the roof, facing the sea. Ursen's tall hat was pinned to the hilt of the dark sword, and it was unknown who found it later. It's just that the hat has been burnt in many places, but Oran still puts it together with the Dark Destroyer, just like Ulson is still looking at the city of steel that he has devoted his whole life to.
"My lord's body has been cremated, and the ashes were sprinkled on the sea as he said before. So here, it becomes his only grave, and the secret destruction is his tombstone. I believe he is still watching us. He must not want Istar Just go to the end like this. No matter what, we will continue to fight until the last drop of blood is shed!"
On the rooftop of the ruins of the building, Oran said this to Ursen's hidden destruction and tall hat. Behind her was Jesse, the young leader turned his head away with a silent expression.
Both Franklin and Zero bowed to Anbu to show respect to Ulson, a brave man who died fighting to defend his ideals.
Oran quietly wiped away a drop of unknown milk from the corner of his eyes, then turned around and said, "Okay, now, should Captain Zero tell me the purpose of visiting our Istar? Judging from Captain Zero's attire and your ship , you don’t seem to be from the Western Continent.”
"I'm from the Central Continent." Zero said concisely.
Oran and Jesse glanced at each other, and they both saw shock in each other's eyes: "Cross-ocean sailing? You were able to cross the ocean between two continents, God..."
Immediately, Oran forced himself to remain calm. He said again: "Then you who came from the Central Continent intend to have a foot in the power struggle in the Western Continent?"
Nodded, but shook his head and said: "I have this plan, but the starting point is definitely not what you think. I am not interested in who owns the hegemony in the Western Continent. What's more, as an outsider like me, even if the Pope's Hall is overthrown, Annexing the power of your Istar and pirates, this throne may not sit for long, I will not do such a stupid thing. I just hope that I can help restore order in the Western Continent as soon as possible, maybe you will scoff at what I say now. But I What I still have to say is that in the near future, all life on this planet, whether human or alien, will have a common enemy.”
"That enemy cannot be defeated by one person and one country. Therefore, before that, I want to win as many allies as possible, so that I can gain more leverage for the inevitable battle." Zero looked at Yisi The remaining two leaders of the tower said indifferently: "From my personal point of view, the Pope's Hall and Sauron have the advantage at the moment. If you want to end the dispute as soon as possible, there is no better way to help him eat the strength of Istar and the pirates." . . . "
At the end of Zero's words, Jesse's body surged with energy, and the killing intent and power that made people's skin hurt also came out: "You are indeed our enemy!"
