Mechanical Alchemist

Before going to sea, Su Lun knew that the two large and small pirate fleets in the West Sea and the South China Sea totaled two to three thousand warships.

Before crossing the Sea of ​​Eternal Night, I lost 70%, and now I still have a few hundred.

But these few hundred are mostly the top sailing warships in the world. The two "Neptune-class" warships of the two major pirate groups are also among them, and there are dozens of elite-class battleships.

The magicians on the plane of the gods have these sailboats, which are enough to sail and take risks in this sea area.

Su Lun doesn't think that the enemy's warships are many, which is a good thing for them.

The more flexible, the more uncontrollable the risk.

He observed carefully for a moment, and notified the detailed coordinates to everyone in the dawn group.

But the Eternal Night is still two to three hundred kilometers away from this sea area, and it will take a little time to sail there.

Su Lun and Kit hid on a deserted island, looking at the island in the distance.

Kit was a little bored.

He knew that he could not observe his current strength randomly, otherwise he would be easily targeted by top magicians. So I meditated on the sidelines with peace of mind, recovering from the sequelae of being attacked by monsters [paralyzed] before.

Hearing what Su Lun was going to do, he asked a little surprised: "Are you going to bombard? But the group of magicians seem to have a strong early warning ability. If the ship gets too close, it is likely to be discovered. If it is too far away, the bombardment I'm afraid the effect will not be very good."

When Su Lun heard this, he smiled meaningfully: "We have a very special new member in the Dawn Regiment. A few tens of kilometers away is enough to launch a precise bombardment."

"???"

Kit was slightly puzzled, "New member?"

He is a traditional alchemist, and he doesn't have a deep understanding of Mafa's mechanical technology.

But also know some common sense of naval warfare.

The shipboard artillery on the Eternal Night is all top-notch Marfa, with a range of 30 to 50 kilometers, and the limit range of several super-large caliber main guns even exceeds 80 kilometers.

But usually the extreme range of artillery is useless in actual combat.

There is no satellite positioning in this world, and the sight of the target depends entirely on the naked eyes of the observer.

If you want to hit accurately, you generally don't attack targets ten kilometers away.

What's more, there are a series of factors such as wind direction, sea waves, humidity, temperature, etc. that affect the accurate shooting of shells.

The farther the distance, the worse the shooting accuracy.

Any target that exceeds the limit of human vision is shot indiscriminately, and the hit depends entirely on luck.

Even the best gunners are like this.

But if you get too close, you can see the enemy, and the enemy can see you.

After taking precautions in advance, the effect of artillery battles will be much worse. At least, Kit felt that Su Lun's goal of destroying the opponent's ship was not easy to achieve.

Sea ships can move, not to mention that the number of enemy ships is hundreds of times that of our own.

If it's an ordinary team, those people really can't help it.

However, the Dawn Mission is very special.

"We have a new partner named 'Dora', who is a top mechanic. Well, you'll know it when you get on board."

Su Lun didn't explain much to Kitt.

After all, I knew Dora, and the process of joining Dawn with her was quite a coincidence.

The point is that the abilities of the two fit well in naval battles.

Su Lun's spatial ability allowed him to clearly perceive the distance and relative position between the Eternal Night and the [Rainbow Well], accurate to the meter, without error.

And Dora, Colonel Marfa, is not only the top mechanic and artilleryman, she also incorporates [Isaac Blasphemer].

This colony is a super biological computer, which makes her computing power enough to accurately calculate the trajectory of each artillery in an instant.

Very useful on the battlefield.

It can be said that as long as the data obtained by Dora is accurate enough, the artillery on the Eternal Night can point to where to hit.

Kit couldn't figure it out, and didn't ask much.

The two were waiting on this deserted island.

A few hours later, Su Lun watched more than 20 boats quietly leave the harbor where they were moored.

He muttered, "Hey, the Yong Ye has been discovered."

He observed the direction in which the pirate ships were sailing, and immediately judged that they were heading for the Eternal Night.

When Kit heard that he was discovered, he immediately became alert, "We were exposed?"

Su Lun's expression was normal, and he shook his head and said, "No. It should be that when the Eternal Night sailed over, it triggered the magic warning device reserved by those guys. These people are going to intercept and kill them."

Kit originally thought it would be a terrible thing to be discovered, but seeing Su Lun's calm expression, and thinking about his previous experience, he asked, "What don't we need to do?"

"Need not."

Su Lun shook his head and said indifferently: "The Eternal Night is about to enter the intended attack range. Even if they find out, it's too late to rush over."

He had harvested so many magician souls, but he didn't know that the magician army also had a set of strict early warning and counterattack tactics.

The discovery of the Eternal Night was expected.

What's more, if this group of people went to intercept and kill, they were destined to be wiped out.

The corners of Kit's mouth twitched when he heard that, since he saw Su Lun today, he found that he seemed to be a fake member, and now the changes in Liming made him a little strange.

However, these changes are the source of inexplicable excitement and expectation in his heart.

At the same time, board the Eternal Night.

All the members who got the news from Su Lun re-entered the fighting state after a short break.

The artillery cabin gunners have long been ready.

"Load the ammo!"

"First-floor turret 'Super Grade Alchemy-Breaking Bullet', second-floor cabin 'Seagull IV armor-piercing bomb', third-floor filling 'Shock Bomb'!"

"Six cannons in the first round, firing in three seconds between intervals!"

"."

After Dora boarded the ship, she also brought Mafa's top shipboard artillery technology.

Those laboratory technologies that did not even have mass production and were put into the military were used on the Eternal Night.

The unparalleled displacement of the Neptune-class battleship is also sufficient to support super-large caliber artillery and giant turrets.

Dora also modified the entire ammunition delivery system.

Previous naval battles required manual loading of bombs one by one, which was very inefficient. Now you only need to pull a few valves, and the steam boiler will provide power, and the ammunition will be transported from the conveyor belt in the safety cabin, and it will be automatically loaded like a bullet is loaded. The whole process greatly reduces the work of the filling hands and improves the efficiency.

There is also a supporting precise mechanical aiming system and semi-automatic fool operation, which also allows artillerymen with uneven skills to hit the same target almost accurately.

Not long after, the ship had arrived at the planned shooting area.

In the control room on the deck, Dora is listening to the wind direction, temperature, and ocean current data reported by the observers all the time, and is always calculating the most accurate trajectory in her mind.

When she heard Su Lun's precise distance feedback and said that she could fire freely, Dora gave an order: "Twenty-one kilometers and seven hundred meters northwest of the target, activate the T-level continuous firing automatic calibration system, cover the range, and fire!"

In an instant, the sound of artillery fire was deafening.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"."

Nearly 300 cannons on one side of the Eternal Night opened fire in unison, and several super-large caliber main cannons on the deck also spit out flames at the same time.

The sound of artillery fire was connected together, and it seemed to be fired at the same time.

Shocked by the exaggerated sound waves, the surface of the sea rippled like rain, and some sea fish turned white bellies on the surface of the sea in an instant.

The muzzle flames are of different colors, and the shells used are also the most expensive alchemy shells. This is a good thing that Dora came out of the military warehouse by the way, and the cost of a single piece ranges from tens to millions of lisuo. A round of ammunition is hundreds of millions.

But you can't save money at this time.

At this moment, the sound waves of the previous round of artillery had not completely subsided, and just three seconds later, the second round of artillery fired again!

On the deck, Qianjo and Liming looked at the exaggerated firepower of the Eternal Night, and all of them looked very excited.

The rate of fire of the alchemy shells was extremely fast, but after ten breaths, Su Lun on the deserted island saw the shells attacking from the sky.

He has excellent eyesight, his pupils shrank slightly, and he said softly, "Here we come!"

Kit heard Su Lun's command to fire just now, and kept staring at the sky.

Although he expected from the bottom of his heart that the Dawn Regiment's fire coverage could destroy the enemy's battleship, he still felt rationally that it was unlikely to hit the target accurately at such a long distance.

However, the moment Su Lun opened his mouth, hundreds of shells fell from the sky at an extremely fast speed, hitting the distant island with lightning speed.

Su Lun narrowed his eyes slightly, but there was nothing strange about it.

Beside him, the expression on Kit's face changed from uncertain to dumbfounded in an instant.

In the eyes of the two of them at the same time, clusters of gorgeous fireballs were reflected.

The hundreds of shells accurately hit the pirate ships moored in the harbor densely.

"boom!"

The violent shock wave spread like a tsunami, and hit a few seconds later than the fire in the eyes, and the movement of "cracking" was extremely loud.

The robes of the two were rattling.

Kit screamed strangely: "Fuck, it's really a precise hit!"

Wide range of fire coverage, the field of vision is full of flames. The artillery shells accurately hit the positions where hundreds of warships of the Pirates were moored. Although the high-level magicians on the plane of the gods reacted quickly, some magicians instantly set up their magic shields to block the shells and prevent the ships from being destroyed.

However, the second round of shells came again

The third round is here too!

Almost every few breaths, a round of shells fell.

Demon-breaking, armor-piercing, and blasting, a series of alchemy bombs fell, wood chips flew, the mast was blown off, and the entire sea was covered with smashed planks of sailboats.

The sound of explosions continued, and Su Lun saw a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and muttered: "These guys from the plane of gods underestimate the plane of alchemy."

The magic plane has some understanding of traditional alchemy, but almost nothing about the field of mechanical alchemy.

In their tactics, there is no combat response to such ultra-long-range shelling.

But even if you are prepared, you cannot guard against it.

No one could have imagined that someone would launch an ultra-long-range fire strike "out of sight".

However, there are quite a few masters in the ten-thousand-person corporation on the island, and they also know the importance of sea-going ships. Even if they were forced to face the artillery, several pirate captains and various seventh-level magicians formed a team to set up magic shields to block the artillery shells and saved more than a hundred ships.

Then a sorcerer cast a spell, and the waves and wind rose instantly, blowing away the moored ships.

There is nothing wrong with this response. If you disperse the target, the enemy will not be able to attack again.

Seeing this, Kit had a satisfied smile on his face: "Hahaha, that's amazing! Our Dawn Regiment's naval combat capabilities are so strong now!"

Seeing the fire coverage that destroyed most of the hundreds of pirate ships in the blink of an eye, he was extremely excited.

Ultra-long-range precision firepower coverage?

It was the first time he knew that naval battles could still be fought like this!

This is already an incredible result.

Su Lun's eyes looked at the distant place, and there was a hint of depth in his eyes.

He was not satisfied with this, and observed the escape position of the two Neptune-class warships, and said into the communicator again: "15.1° north by west, 215551 meters, heading 33° south by east, speed 25 knots, fire at the moving target !"

Listening to his report of the coordinates, Kit turned his head suddenly, his expression seemed to speak: Is that okay?

A few seconds later, a super large alchemy shell fell with lightning. It accurately hit the Neptune-class battleship "Black Beauty" of the South China Sea Fleet that had just escaped from the harbor and wanted to avoid the fire coverage.

There was a loud bang.

This special alchemy shell precisely landed on the magic cover, blasting out a terrifying air wave.

Although it didn't penetrate the magic shield, it also shattered many wooden structures of the hull behind the shield, and a dozen or so mages supporting the magic shield instantly vomited blood and died on the spot.

At the same time, dozens of shells came one after another, and a dozen ships near the Black Beauty were also hit.

Those people reacted very quickly. Although they didn't know why they were precisely locked on, but the wind direction suddenly changed, and the entire ship immediately turned around.

Su Lun looked at it, and said with the communicator again: "16.5° north by west, 214881 meters, heading 25° south by east, continue to launch!"

It is not easy to turn the course of a sea-going ship, the bigger the ship the more so.

The period after they changed course was long enough for the shells to come again.

This operation,

Kit on the side was stunned.

That's all for firepower coverage. When can artillery ultra-long-distance shooting be as accurate as a sniper rifle?

There is no satellite positioning in this world, but Su Lun himself has this function.

Just when he reported the new coordinates, a heavy alchemy bomb struck again and hit the Black Beauty again.

Although it still failed to sink the sailboat this time, this time, dozens of magicians who supported the shield were shocked to death on the spot.

If you can weaken the enemy's combat power with shells, it is definitely worth it.

There is ample reserves of shells on the Eternal Night, even if they are exhausted, they can be produced in time in Su Lun's Small Void Realm.

At most, it's just burning some money.

What is invested now, as long as the plan can be realized, it will be recovered thousands of times in the future.

A one-sided artillery battle continued like this, and it became more and more intense.

Tons of ammunition poured down from the sky, blowing up the pirate ships in the harbor and making a mess.

The rumbling sound was deafening and spread to hundreds of kilometers.

With Su Lun's human locator constantly calibrating the target, almost none of the pirate ships that got together were spared.

Those magicians were completely confused and could only defend passively.

I only saw shells falling all over the sky, but I didn't know where the enemy was at all.

The only thing they can do is to judge the direction of the trajectory, find the Eternal Night, and fight face to face.

Although the pirates also fired back in that direction, no matter the range or accuracy of the artillery, there was no threat to the Eternal Night twenty kilometers away.

The artillery battle lasted for half an hour.

Dozens of surviving pirate ships were scattered, with a large number of magician guards, and it was impossible to sink them.

Su Lun didn't read the battle, and greeted Kit beside him, "Let's go."

Kit was watching this special fireworks, and suddenly wanted to leave. He asked, "Stop shelling?"

Su Lun smiled wryly: "The shells also cost money, okay? It won't be worthwhile to continue to fight."

After a pause, he said again: "Besides... those guys who left before should almost find the Eternal Night, we have to go back."

Kit: "Oh."

A moment later, two figures appeared on the deck of the Eternal Night.

The bombardment is still going on, but now without Su Lun's precise coordinate feedback, they can only bombard in a wide range.

Seeing Su Lun's return, everyone on the deck gathered around.

"Mr. Su Lun is back!"

"Oh, Mr. Kit was also rescued safely."

"Mr. Su Lun, how is the battle over there? Did we hit it?"

"."

Everyone was full of curiosity and asked in a hurry.

Although ultra-long-range bombardment has been tested before, this is the first time it has been used in actual combat.

Although a large number of shells had just been fired, there was no feedback of the battle situation, and everyone always felt that something was almost there.

Su Lun said with a smile: "Everyone is doing well. The shelling just now destroyed at least 600 warships!"

"Wow! Six hundred ships?"

"Hahaha this is the most amazing naval battle I have ever experienced!"

"Oh, Miss Dora did a great job modifying the artillery system."

"."

With that said, cheers immediately erupted on the deck.

As Su Lun said, he also looked up at the girl in the high command room, and smiled as a gesture.

Dora nodded slightly in response.

At the same time, she also breathed a sigh of relief.

Although she felt that her calculations would not be wrong, this was her first time participating in the Dawn Regiment's battle, and she hoped to give everyone a good answer.

It was a brilliant win.

Apart from consuming some ammunition, the Dawn Regiment did not suffer any loss of personnel.

Su Lun said to the deck again: "Don't rest, everyone. Those guys from the plane of the gods are chasing after them. There will be a battle later, so be careful."

Hearing this, instead of being worried, everyone burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, just now I thought shelling was not enough, but those guys dare to come here and fuck you!"

"Yeah, fuck it!"

"."

Although everyone laughed, they were all ready.

Qianjo and the others had long received the notification from Su Lun that they were ready to fight, and none of them relaxed.

After Su Lun returned to the Eternal Night, they also stopped shelling and sailed aimlessly.

They looked like they were trying to flee after the shelling, but they were actually waiting for the men to come after them.

Sure enough, after waiting for a long time, the observer on the watchtower suddenly shouted: "Enemy attack!"

Everyone looked at it, a few sea miles away, more than 20 pirate ships suddenly circled around an island, and suddenly appeared in everyone's field of vision.

Obviously, those guys also used light magic to cover up the sea ship, otherwise they wouldn't have been discovered so close.

But it doesn't matter anymore.

Because it was predicted in advance that the enemy had already been discovered, everyone in the regiment was not surprised.

[Rainbow Well] There seemed to be a few eighth-level magicians on the island, but Su Lun had observed it before, and the twenty-odd pirate ships set off before the bombardment. So there are mostly pirates on board, and Moloch Bourbon, the "King of the Western Sea", is also on board, as well as many magicians.

Su Lun didn't think Moloch Bourbon was too much of a threat.

The Liming Regiment's current combat power is not weak, even if it really has the eighth rank, it is not without the power to fight.

So there was no rush to let the dawn group evacuate.

Instead, eat this wave of pirate ships, and the enemy's warships will be greatly reduced.

Su Lun squinted at the warship in the distance, and reminded: "There should be a crusader master coming, everyone be careful."

He guessed that someone from the Crusaders should follow, but as long as it wasn't the eighth-ranked Crusaders, it wouldn't be a big problem.

Everyone in Qiantiao looked coldly and nodded silently.

This distance is the best distance for shelling, and the Eternal Night fired while running.

The more than twenty pirate ships were all light warships, and with the blessing of wind mages, they were not slow, and they clung to them tightly.

But their artillery is much worse.

Even with an absolute numerical advantage, the firepower of more than 20 pirate ships is not as strong as that of the Eternal Night.

Moreover, the artillery sight is poor during high-speed navigation, and the gunner skills on the pirate ship are also very ordinary, and the hit rate is very low.

On the other hand, on the Eternal Night, the shells were as accurate as sniper shells.

After several rounds of confrontation, the two chasing pirate ships were sunk.

"Hahaha that's it?"

"Yo, is this the level of the West Sea Fleet?"

"."

On the deck, everyone in the Dawn Regiment laughed loudly as they watched the enemy pirate ship on fire.

The battle was much easier than expected.

The gap between the two sides' naval battles is too great. If the pursuit continues like this, the twenty or so pirate ships have no chance of winning.

The other party obviously knew this too.

Therefore, we can only count on hand-to-hand combat.

It's a pity that with such a highly skilled navigator like Tani, it is almost impossible for the opponent to catch up with them without chasing them for three days and three nights.

If they continue chasing, they won't be able to wait until they are on board, and the Dawn Regiment will be able to wipe out the other side just in the artillery battle.

But no one dared to be careless.

They all know that in this situation, the opponent's master is about to appear!

If not.

That's it, the situation is sudden!

Among the people on the opposite side, suddenly a burly figure jumped off a boat, walked on the waves, and rushed over from the sea.

Everyone in Liming didn't recognize him, this guy is Moloch Bourbon, the "King of the Western Sea"!

Every time this notorious veteran pirate king took a step, a huge vortex with a diameter of more than ten meters sank into the sea, and the movement of running was like a thousand troops, and the momentum was terrifying.

The death pressure of eighth-level professionals is not small, and the low-level crew members of the Dawn Corps swallowed their saliva one by one.

Barrett stood ready, and "Duke of Blood" Wordsworth also transformed into a demon form with blue face and fangs.

Kit looked at these seventh-level professionals on board, his pupils shrank slightly, and he praised in his heart: Everyone is so strong

However, in just a split second, he suddenly felt a piercing sword energy rising into the sky around him.

Turning his head to look, Chijo just put his hand on the hilt of his sword.

In an instant, he showed his sharpness.

Kit stood very close, his scalp numb from the pressure of the seventh-level professional field.

Even if Qiantiao's killing intent wasn't directed at him, he seemed to be torn apart by the sharp sword energy and wanted to retreat again and again, shocked in his heart: "Fuck, what Su Lun said is indeed right, Qiantiao The article seems to be so powerful that there is no limit!"

Looking again, Su Lun and No. 19, they had normal expressions on their faces.

Kit had a slightly weird expression on his face.

However, just when everyone thought that the "King of the Western Sea" Moloch would attack first, a strange scene happened in front of everyone's eyes.

In the field of vision, the image of a person is like teleporting, passing through the void, leaving a series of afterimages.

Taking a closer look, it was a blond magician with a staff in his hand, an indifferent expression, and a holy light all over his body.

Others may perceive the strength of the person who came, but the seventh-orders on the Eternal Night clearly sensed the deadly coercion.

Barrett frowned, and said softly, "Spatial displacement? No, there is no spatial fluctuation."

Everyone in the dawn regiment more or less understood some space magic formulas, and all of them changed their expressions.

No. 19 said lightly: "This is the 'Power of Time'. That guy is a member of the Crusaders."

Only she and Su Lun had seen this method before, so they recognized it at a glance.

Moreover, most of the crusaders wear black and white robes like nuns' clothes, which are easy to identify.

Hearing No. 19's words, everyone became alert.

Since it is definitely not easy for Su Lun to tell him to be careful.

And just this "time displacement" is already an incomprehensible method.

This is even an enemy to be more careful than the eighth-level Moloch.

However, no one noticed that Su Lun looked at the man's expression at this moment, which was slightly weird.

The distance of a few nautical miles is gone in the blink of an eye.

The black-and-white nun's blond magician appeared directly on the deck of the Eternal Night.

She looked at the crowd with indifference and pride, as if she didn't take them seriously.

Arrogant, domineering, contemptuous.

The Crusaders see nothing but gods.

Mortals are like ants.

Indeed, with the ability to "go back in time", no one here can kill her.

However, it was when this woman hadn't had time to pretend to be aggressive.

Su Lun suddenly appeared in front of her with a teleportation.

Then he stretched out his iron tongs with lightning speed, pierced the magic shield condensed by the power of time, and grabbed her neck.

The woman's reaction was also extremely fast, and the wand in her hand was shining brightly, as if she had used some magic.

Everyone in Qiantiao felt dazed for a while. Although they didn't understand what happened, they also realized that this magic is definitely not simple!

Everyone's expression changed!

However, a bizarre scene took place.

Su Lun made a move, and the enemy was the Crusaders. Everyone thought that no matter what, it would be a fierce battle.

However,

"Crack" a crackling sound,

It resounded across the huge deck.

Under everyone's utterly bewildered eyes, Su Lun cut off the crusader's neck so easily?

Looking again, the blond woman's unbelievable expression froze there, her head tilted, as if she was out of breath.

died?

Really dead?

All the people who were about to make a move were all stiff, and their eyes were full of disbelief.

For a moment, the atmosphere was eerily quiet.

"ga"

"ga"

The crows on the mast rattled and exchanged, which brought everyone's thoughts back to reality.

The woman's body was hanging in Su Lun's hands, swaying in the breeze.

I've seen it once before, and it's amazing.

Seeing it now, it seems like that, right?

[Ouroboros Time-Space Circle] Immune to the time-space spell whose level of law is not higher than the artifact itself, Tian Ke is in front of him.

Therefore, the "backtracking in time" just now has no effect at all.

After being immune to the power of time, the blonde woman's physical strength was too weak for Su Lun.

Naturally, he was strangled to death.

No one spoke, it was quiet.

Finally, with a tense expression, Lolota loosened the handle of the knife that was squeezed out of the water, and said weakly: "Mr. Su Lun said that the 'Crusader' seems to be very powerful, why doesn't it seem to be very powerful? look?"

Not only her, almost all professionals below the seventh level didn't understand what happened just now.

A guy who was clearly dressed as a crusader came across the void very coolly.

Then came to deliver a human head?

No, no matter what, it shouldn't be like this.

Everyone always feels that something is wrong.

Qiantiao's eyes flashed sharply, he saw something, and said meaningfully: "It's not that the guy is weak, but that Su Lun is stronger than her, and he just restrained himself. If Su Lun hadn't restricted the time for that guy to release Domain, you are all dead."

Everyone was surprised when they heard this: "Huh?"

They didn't even think that behind the dramatic scene just now, there was a fatal crisis hidden?

Unknown.

But when everyone in Liming heard this statement, they all blurted out "Fuck" in their hearts.

Not only the people in Liming were stunned, but also the group of pirates in the distance.

The "King of the West Sea" Moloch, who was still running wildly in the sea, looked at the corpse in Su Lun's hands, and was even more dumbfounded: Master Crusaders, dead?
