Gulu Gulu.
There seems to be a warm current flowing under the sea surface, causing the sea water to bubble continuously. In the perception of a character of Habes' level, it is natural to know that the temperature of the seawater has not changed at all. It's just that some objects float out of the sea water, and the air enters the water surface and is discharged during the movement, thus producing air bubbles.
Just, what could it be
Habes said indifferently: "It's best to be on your guard, Captain Carlomon, maybe it's a gift from pirates."
Carlomon nodded, and shouted loudly, "Turn on all the lights for me, and observe the sea carefully, so as not to let the pirates take advantage of it!"
Under the command of the regiment commander, the three warships turned on the lights on the hulls one after another. The lighting includes lights on the edge of the hull, and a high-power spotlight on the top of the ship. The lamp post illuminating the lamp continuously streaked across the sea surface, dispelling the darkness of the sea area.
Will it be pirates? Habes thought, shaking his head again. This is basically impossible, the radiation in the endless sea area is very serious, even if a lieutenant-level soldier accidentally falls into the sea, if it is not treated and injected with anti-radiation drugs in time. In the slightest, the ability will degenerate, and in the severest case, he will die directly. Only legion commanders above the eighth rank, or those few legendary captains can last longer in the sea. But it's just staying longer, and the radiation will also cause a certain degree of damage to their bodies.
If it was a sneak attack, the price would be too high.
What would that be
This is probably the biggest question lingering in the minds of the two legion commanders.
Carlomon yelled at a nearby ship: "Go and wake up that idiot Mamelo, this is not the time to sleep."
Habes glanced at the Ironscale not far away, and said softly, "Maybe we have to wake up that big pirate."
"Deborah? Never mind." Carlomon didn't care.
There was an uproar in the sea, and not far away, something dark floated up from the sea. Habes narrowed his pupils and shouted in that direction: "Light! Where is the light?"
Then a beam of light hit the past, shining on things floating in the sea.
No doubt it was an oil barrel. The material of the oil barrel is metal, and it appears to be somewhat rusty. It floated obliquely on the surface of the sea, and in the beam of light, something flowed mooringly from the oil drum, dyed into a winding black belt.
The sound of breaking water sounded one after another, and the lampposts on the three warships kept moving. It could be seen that such oil barrels were floating from the sea water for no reason between the warships.
"Oops, it's CNOOC..." Habes' expression changed.
Suddenly, the eyes caught a flash of fire in the extreme distance.
The fire barrel not far from the bow exploded into a fireball, and the hot wind generated by the violent explosion swept across the sea, blowing Habes's hair a little curled up. But the explosion was only the first wave, followed by the second wave and the third wave of explosions. After each wave of explosions, there will be a vague gunshot about 0.3 seconds apart.
Although the gunshots were interspersed with the explosions, it was difficult for ordinary people to distinguish them, but it was not difficult for Habes' level of ability. So gunshots and explosions were linked together, and that constituted a simple but solid plan. Use some means to transport the oil barrels from under the sea, and then throw them on the water between the buildings and ships. A sniper who was more than one kilometer away shot and exploded the oil barrel, thus creating several flame isolation zones on the sea like now!
Yes, the three warships of the Pope's Hall and the Iron Scale were separated by the fire belt formed by the explosion of the oil barrel. This seems simple, but it needs to meet three harsh conditions. One is accurate information on the location of ships; the other is the means of transmitting oil barrels; the third is ultra-long-distance precise sniping.
None of these three conditions is easy.
The flames and crowds filled Habes' senses. Even in this chaotic situation, the young legion commander still maintained a peaceful mind. So with the firelight on the sea, he quickly caught some kind of bird activity. At this time, most seabirds have already returned to their nests to rest, so how can they toss about on the sea.
"So that's your eyeliner?" Habes said indifferently, although he knew how the pirates met the first condition. But the second and third are still mysteries. The former can send oil barrels without anyone noticing, while the latter is more difficult. As far as Harbes knew, there was no such thing as a sniper among pirates. What's more, sniping in the dark is beyond the reach of ordinary snipers.
"Look, what are those in front?"
A soldier's shout came from the bow, and Carlomon looked up. On the dark sea in the distance, a little light suddenly lit up. Following the light moving towards them, after a while, Caromon couldn't help but gasped with his composure.
Pirate fleet!
The flag fluttering on the leading ship clearly appeared under the light, which was the logo of the Walrus. On the left and right of the Walrus, there are the Tiger Shark and the Nixie. Headed by these three legendary pirate ships, followed by a fleet of several hundred ships lined up.
Carlomon didn't think that the pirates were so powerful that they could withstand Mader's attack and at the same time they could send out the main combat force and hundreds of pirate ships to fight. But now the facts are in front of his eyes. Judging from the distance between the opponent's ship and the opponent's ship, which is only about a kilometer away, I am afraid that they have already prepared for the attack early in the morning, rather than rushing to fight.
As a result, Carlomon had to consider more things.
Without his orders, the ship's adjutant had already mobilized the soldiers. The soldiers began to load the shells for the turret, the knight mechs came up from the cabin one by one, and a team of professional soldiers made a series of battle preparations for the cars of the legion commanders, including pre-battle inspection and ammunition filling. However, the pirates moved faster. The fort on the high-rise ship was not ready yet, and the rumble of cannons had already sounded from the pirate fleet opposite.
It's just that the distance between the two is seven or eight hundred meters. Even the forts of the Knights can't cover such a long distance, so no one is moved by the sound of the opponent's cannons. However, the terrible howl and the amazing pressure came from midair . As a result, several flames pierced the sea surface, and the sky between the two fleets pulled out parabolas, and then landed on the large ship.
Then came a violent explosion.
"Damn it, did those guys remove the Poseidon Cannon from the Sea House?" Carlomon shrank his head, letting a flame pass over his head.
Habes had already jumped back to his warship, and said: "Get ready for the Knights of the Round Table to attack, Captain Carlomon, they are well prepared."
Carlomon's face was livid, he threw away the bottle and returned to the cabin.
The whistling sound of shells came and went, and the flames of explosions appeared on the ship continuously. Under the long-distance artillery fire of the pirates, both the ship and the Ironscale suffered considerable damage. Of course, as the distance got closer, the Vatican also started to fight back. A classic naval battle ensued, with both sides greeting each other's ships with cannonballs.
Naturally, the pirate fleet would not continue to stand in a row for people to fight foolishly, so they scattered in all directions. In this way, the firepower coverage of the Loujian must be tripled, and this has exceeded the limit of the artillery output of only four Loujian-class ships.
In this way, the advantages and disadvantages in quantity are reflected.
Undoubtedly, except for the pirate ships of the three legendary captains, the equipment of the rest of the pirate ships was far inferior to the buildings of the Pope's Hall. But pirate ships are superior in number, and the forts of high-rise ships are more powerful. Unfortunately, the number is limited. Once the pirate ships are separated, it is impossible to carry out effective strikes. On the contrary, the pirate fleet was like wild wolves on the prairie. After they approached the building ship, they began to circle around. Attack with the artillery they are equipped with. No matter how small the artillery is, it is enough to tear down something on the building. And no more powerful blows, after the superposition of multiple numbers, it is also a considerable damage value.
That night, the flames of war burned the entire sea.
In the building, Carlomon complained for the first time about the size of the Knights of the Round Table. The body is too huge, although the power of the mech has been improved. On the other hand, it makes pre-battle inspection and ammunition filling a tedious task. Of course, 15 minutes of preparation work on weekdays is not too long compared to the firepower that the Knights of the Round Table can provide.
But that was when preparations were made. To Carlomon, every minute would feel like a century if he faced a sudden attack by pirates. Even when he growled to tell the soldiers to speed up, he only squeezed 15 minutes into 13 minutes. When all the tests were finally completed, Carlomon couldn't wait to jump into the cockpit of the Knights of the Round Table.
Then the deck above the ship slowly opened, and the platform below the knight mech began to rise. It was finally time for the knight of the round table driven by Carlomon to attack.
"Your time has come, pirates!" Carlomon sneered.
According to the ability and fighting style of each legion leader. The knights of the round table they drive also have their own emphasis. For example, Carlomon focuses on shooting ability, so the weapons equipped by his knights of the round table are mostly guns. Among them is a sniper gun "Hellscream", which matches Carlomon's shooting talent. As long as the angle and distance are right, even facing knight mechs of the same level can explode with one shot!
The mechas of Habes and Mamelo are also different. The mechas of the former are basically not equipped with any guns, and the material is mainly light. The defense is the weakest among all the knights of the round table. But Habes' mecha is very light and agile, and its flexibility is still lower than that of Sauron's King Arthur. Habes' mecha is equipped with only one high-frequency blade, but with the flexibility of the mecha and Habes' talent for swordsmanship, this ordinary high-frequency blade becomes a terrifying weapon.
As for Mamelo's mecha, it was the most cumbersome among all the Knights of the Round Table, but it was also the one with the highest defense. It and Habes' Knight Mecha are completely two extremes. In addition to conventional artillery fire, the Mecha that focuses on strength and defense is also equipped with a tower shield and a double-edged crescent axe. It can be said that Mamelo's mecha is a sharp weapon on land and a mobile war fortress. But at the same time, due to its weight limitation, Mamelo's mecha is not suitable for fighting on water.
Therefore, when Habes and Carlomon's mechas slowly floated out of the bow deck, Mamelo appeared on the deck alone in a heavy armor.
On the bow deck of the Walrus, Zero stood against the wind, and behind him were three legendary captains including Cinderella. The distance between the Walrus and the opponent's warship has been shortened to 300 meters, and the still burning fire curtain cut off the trapped opponent's warship, but it has also become an insurmountable barrier for our own side. Looking ahead again, the decks of the two large ships have been opened, and two Knights of the Round Table are slowly rising.
"Charge." Zero said lightly, and then said to Cinderella: "Temporarily lower the wall of fire."
"Leave it to me." Cinderella said.
The order to charge was passed on, and the rest of the pirate ships no longer simply wandered around to harass operations. In the eyes of the soldiers of the Vatican, they rushed towards the isolated fire zone like suicide. However, before these pirate ships, a white wave quietly appeared on the surface of the sea. With the building ship as the center, an unnatural circle of white waves appeared in front of the pirate ship, rolling towards the isolated fire zone.
The waves continued to grow, and when they reached the isolated fire zone, they had already formed a ten-meter wave wall!
The huge wave wall slapped on the isolated fire belt, and immediately suppressed the flames to almost extinguish them. Taking advantage of this time, all the pirate ships crossed the barrier and headed towards the building. At this distance, the turrets of the warships had a dead angle for shooting, and the soldiers on board could only attack with machine guns and other equipment.
Under this situation, Walrus blatantly charged directly at Carlomon's car.
"Come on, bastards!" Carlomon shouted, seeing that the mecha was about to rise. A sudden violent shaking caused Carlomon to almost bump his head against the wall of the driver's cabin, and the legion couldn't help roaring: "What's going on?"
The soldier's report sounded in the communication system: "I'm sorry, Commander. The gear of the elevator seems to be stuck, please wait a moment, we... "
"Idiot, I don't have time to wait for you to troubleshoot." Carlomon started the mecha directly after speaking. As a result, the eyes of the mech's head lit up, and the engine in the body also made the sound of running. Carlomon lifted the joystick, and the mecha immediately reached out and grabbed the edge of the deck, apparently trying to forcefully climb out of the cabin.
At the same time, the Walrus collided violently with the building. Even though the fronts of the two warships of similar specifications were equipped with reinforcement and anti-collision facilities, the two large ships still bit each other fiercely like giant beasts in the sea. With the close connection of the bow, even ordinary soldiers can easily cross over the enemy ships, let alone those with zero abilities.
"Kill!" Zero yelled, and he was the first to break through the air.
Before departure, they have assigned work. Zero and the three captains, as well as Mr. X, were in charge of dealing with the enemy's regimental commanders, while the others were in charge of harassing, attracting and dealing with ordinary soldiers on the ship. Under a clear division of labor, the Zeros rushed to their own targets almost as soon as they left the Walrus.
When Zero came to Carlomon's ship, he was greeted by a dense firepower net. Under the flames, he rushed forward fearlessly, so the soldiers in the pope's hall were horrified to find that the bullets hit him and splashed sparks, as if Ling's whole body was made of molten iron. Naturally, they didn't know that they had used tempered skin early on. This ability greatly enhanced his defensive power. Although his skin couldn't really turn into steel, with his own defensive force field, it wasn't impossible for him to advance through the firepower of the light machine gun.
Zero's goal was very clear, he rushed directly towards the knight of the round table who was about to climb out of the cabin. At the same time as the flying, Zero's right fist was quietly stained with a kind of gray light.
nothingness!
After the first battle in Ludu, Zero once again led the third force of the universe. The gray light of nothingness wraps around Zero's fist, it has neither awe-inspiring aura nor dazzling brilliance. The gray light of nothingness is even very dim, if it is not in the dark night, it may be difficult to detect. However, if people pay attention to this group of gray light, they will feel that it is as profound as the void.
That group of gray light is like a black hole. If you stare at it for a long time, it seems that even the soul will be sucked into it, and it will float in the unknown space forever.
Seeing Zero straight towards him and the bland gray light lingering around his fist, Caromon intuitively felt a huge threat. He even gave up climbing out of the warehouse, and just controlled the mech to reach out to catch "Hellscream" behind him.
Zero suddenly accelerated.
The light on the fist pulled a trail of gray in the air.
In Carlomon's eyes, Zero's movements were extremely clear, and could be broken down into several simple movements such as leaning forward, retracting arms, and punching. But these few simple actions form a coherent and inseparable whole. From the perspective of the cockpit, Zero's punch directly hit the mech's head.
In an instant, Carlomon made an astonishing move under the control of intuition.
He used the escape system to instantly pop the cockpit out of the Knights of the Round Table!
This move stunned all the soldiers on board. After all, although Zero attacked first, no matter how you looked at it, it was far from threatening the existence of the mecha.
But the next moment, they realized how wise Carlomon's move was.
The moment it hit the mecha's head, a burst of gray light quickly swept across the mecha's body. Silently, but in the blink of an eye, the mecha disappeared.
Not even a single part was left, it just disappeared into the air out of thin air.
Then the wind was generated at Zero's feet, at first it was just a thin circle of wind current, but in an instant it turned into a whistling storm!
The storm blows, and the soldiers who are closer are all bounced away by this storm. The lucky ones landed on the deck, while the unlucky ones fell directly into the sea. And the deck under Zero's feet exploded directly, countless debris flew up, and the frenzied wind blew into the air before falling down in fine pieces.
So in Carlomon's eyes, Zero quietly turned around in this storm. The storm blew all his black hair out, but it couldn't cover up the dazzling light that shot out from his right eye. With the power of this punch, Ling is almost like a god of war at this moment!
