[Part 3]
The target the Wing Skeleton was looking for was the enemy's new transport ships. In addition to transporting soldiers, these transport ships were mainly used to transport large equipment. Warships could also transport soldiers, but many of the equipment were too large to be disassembled. They could only be transported by large transport ships.
The difficulty of building these transport ships was no less than that of warships. Moreover, there was only one shipyard on the coast. If they worked at full speed, it would take a month to build a transport ship.
Last time, the Wing Skeleton's sneak attack had actually caused great damage to the people of Cloud Flow. If it was on the sea, the people of Cloud Flow could quickly replenish the transport ships. Not to mention eighty, they could even gather eight hundred. The nobles on the coast all had larger shipyards than those on the coast.
If the Wing Skeleton could sink twenty-four transport ships in one fell swoop, it would be a serious blow to the people of Cloud Flow's logistics.
The Coiled Turtle Alchemy Ship sank, sticking closely to the bottom of the lake. The dock was nine miles away. The Wing Skeleton activated Undead Gaze and slowly observed the warships in the dock.
This dock had been expanded to accommodate more than forty large ships. Just as the Wing Skeleton thought, the transport ships were loading and unloading supplies at the dock. Outside the dock, there were small warships patrolling.
This dock was not as built as Metatlin City, but it was still heavily defended. There were large catapults, stone cannons, and dozens of watchtowers on the shore. The Wing Skeleton couldn't see clearly on the water, but it could guess that there must be large alchemy crossbows on the watchtowers.
The bolts of the large alchemy crossbows had magic attacks and could even be filled with magic powder. After hitting the target, there would be a violent explosion. This was the same principle as the Wing Skeleton's Bloodstone.
The explosive magic powder was even more difficult to stabilize than the Bloodstone, so there wouldn't be too many of them.
The Wing Skeleton could only observe the appearance of the target. It didn't dare to use Necromancy for deep detection. Fortunately, its goal was also very simple. It only needed to release the bone spirits and destroy more than twenty transport ships.
Twenty-four bone spirits swam out of the spiritual pool. Their lifespans wouldn't exceed a month. This was because the Winged Skeleton had obtained the Spirit Pool of the Three Sovereigns. An ordinary Bone Spirit would be considered a freak with a lifespan of a thousand years among humans if its lifespan exceeded one week.
The lifespan of these 24 Bone Spirits was coming to an end. The Bone Spirits that were stored could not evolve. The Winged Skeleton gave these Bone Spirits basic intelligence. Then, it gave an order to forcefully seal the images of the 24 targets into the weak souls of the Bone Spirits.
There was only the Winged Skeleton in the alchemy ship, so it seemed a little empty. The Winged Skeleton used a complicated undead spell to deal with the 24 bone spirits and opened the teleportation array in front of the Coiled Turtle Alchemy Ship.
Twenty-four Bone Spirits were teleported out at the same time. They carried the huge Blood Tears Stone and swam towards the port.
It took Gu Ling about five minutes to cover a distance of nearly ten miles. This speed was faster than almost all other warships, except for the Dragon Skeleton Warship at full speed and the Alchemy City's warship that could fly.
After the Bone Spirit was released, the Winged Skeleton turned around without hesitation. The Bone Spirit had locked onto its target. Even if there was a Level-8 Magician in the harbor, he would be able to discover it within three minutes. If the reaction was fast enough, the Bone Spirit would not even be able to hit its target and would be intercepted underwater.
Intercepting the Bone Spirit did not require any powerful magic. The Blood Tears Stone was unstable and could be detonated by a low-level spell.
The Wing Skeleton was betting. He was betting that the enemy would not discover such a weak Bone Spirit within three minutes. The Bone Spirit was only a creature below Level-3. In the sea, magical beasts of this level posed no threat to warships. This was not the sea, so magical beasts were relatively gentler.
The speed of the Coiled Turtle Alchemy Ship underwater was not as fast as that of the Bone Spirit. The Winged Skeleton could not start the magic machinery to avoid attracting the enemy's attention. He could only use the magic array to eject water to push the alchemy ship forward.
The alchemy ship turned around and slowly fled to the depths of the sea at a speed of 40 miles per hour.
The speed of Cloud Flow's main warship was more than 70 miles per hour. Once the enemy discovered the Winged Skeleton's speed, he would have to risk driving the alchemy ship at full speed to get rid of the pursuit. The noise made by driving the alchemy ship at full speed could even be heard by Archmages, let alone Magic Shooters.
Time passed bit by bit. The magic hourglass of the Coiled Turtle Alchemy Ship accurately measured the passing of every second.
Four minutes! A strong sense of crisis suddenly rose in the Winged Skeleton's heart. This ability was given to him by Salin. The advantage of the soul contract was reflected here. The Winged Skeleton could obtain the instincts other than skills without training.
At this time, he did not dare to look back at all. The enemy had discovered the Bone Spirit. In less than a minute, the Bone Spirit would hit the target. The enemy would either chase after him or stop the Bone Spirit. There was no way to satisfy both sides.
Moreover, there was less than a minute. The enemy might not discover the danger of the Bone Spirit. They must have discovered the weak magic wave produced when he released the Bone Spirit!
In the Cloud Flow Barracks behind the dock, a beam of white magic light shot up into the sky, and a black figure flew out from the barracks. He flew up into the sky, his black magic robe fluttering in the wind like a huge flag.
On the black magic robe, there were three eye-catching magic marks. The Level-Nine Magic Shooter set out and went straight to the dock.
Behind the Level-Nine Magic Shooter, a Level-Eight Magic Shooter followed from a distance, but he could not catch up with the terrifying powerhouse in front of him.
The people of Cloud Flow were already annoyed waiting for the Winged Skeleton's attack. In order to lure the submerged warships of Great Liang City, the people of Cloud Flow did not even set up magic at the bottom of the lake. They only set up a warning line about three miles away from the dock. Although the warships on the lake were not for show, and there was no special order to monitor the movements in the deep water.
The Winged Skeleton instantly increased the speed of the Coiled Turtle Alchemy Ship to the maximum. A layer of magic bubble appeared outside the alchemy ship, and it desperately fled south at a speed of 100 miles per hour underwater.
A level-eight undead, if supported by a large undead army, could barely escape the pursuit of a level-nine Magic Shooter. However, the Winged Skeleton was now alone in the enemy's camp.
At a speed of 100 miles, even a surface warship would find it difficult to catch up. The problem was that the enemy must have sent out a Magic Shooter. The Winged Skeleton did not look back and went all the way south. In the depths of the lake, the water was nearly a thousand meters deep. Even a Magic Shooter could not find its existence.
The Winged Skeleton obviously underestimated the speed of a level-nine Magic Shooter. As soon as it reached the outermost warship, it felt a powerful mental power scanning down from the water.
The Winged Skeleton had never faced such a powerful person. Even the soul power of the three Sovereigns did not fluctuate so violently. Separated by two hundred meters of lake water, the perception of the level-nine Magic Shooter was infinitely magnified and quickly locked on to the Coiled Turtle Alchemy Ship.
At the dock, a huge explosion sounded. The level-eight Magic Shooter above the lake water instantly released an elemental impact with a width of more than 80 meters!
Strong light elements formed a curtain wall, blocking the ten Bone Spirits. The Bloodtears Stones carried by the ten Bone Spirits were shaken by a level-8 spell and immediately disintegrated, exploding, and creating a water column that was tens of meters high above the water.
The level-eight Magic Shooter was not omnipotent. When he dared to come, the Bone Spirits had already reached the dock and dispersed, each looking for a target. The Bloodstone carried by the fourteen Bone Spirits hit the stern of the troop carrier, and at the helm, it exploded and created a huge wound with a diameter of more than two meters.
This kind of damage was simply irreparable. The entire stern cracked, the iron armor peeled off, and the huge troop carrier quickly sank. The level-eight Magic Shooter's eyes were full of anger. He could not save the warship. After looking down at the damage, the level-eight Magic Shooter immediately chased to the south.
Their reaction was less than half a minute late. They had underestimated the diving warship of Great Liang City! However, with Master Gill's action, the sneak attack on the diving warship would definitely not be able to escape!
At this time, the Winged Skeleton thought of hundreds of countermeasures in his mind, but none of them were useful. He did not expect the mental strength of a level-nine Magic Shooter to be so terrifying. This enemy must have used a rare magic amplification device.
This kind of thing was even rarer than a divine artifact. In the past, there were many strong people on the Myers Continent. There would always be a lucky mage or sword saint who could encounter a divine artifact or pseudo-divine artifact. However, there were only two sets of magic amplification devices on the entire continent.
One set was in Sacred Rock City, and it was those magic clocks. The other set was in Alchemy City, and no one knew exactly what it was.
Magic amplification devices for personal use only existed in legends. Now that the Winged Skeleton had encountered one, it could only be said that the Winged Skeleton's luck was really bad to the extreme.
"Want to escape?" The level-nine Magic Shooter in the sky rushed down and then stopped in an instant. His feet stood on the water, and the waves that were separated from the sea rose and fell under the Magic Shooter's shoes. They did not wet the soles of the Magic Shooter, but instead seemed to be isolating thousands of elemental shields.
In the hands of the level-nine Magic Shooter, a black magic scroll unfolded. The Winged Skeleton only felt a vibration at the bottom of the lake, and then the surrounding water was fixed. The bubble outside the Coiled Turtle Alchemy Ship, which was equivalent to a level-four spell, burst with a pop. Countless rocks shot out from the bottom of the lake, and instantly surrounded the Coiled Turtle Alchemy Ship.
The Earth's Sigh!
A level-nine area of effect spell could not be cast instantly without a scroll.
This level-nine Magic Shooter was terrifying. An instant cast scroll hit the high-speed moving Coiled Turtle Alchemy Ship two hundred meters underwater.
The real attack from the bottom of the lake was not the rocks, but the endless earth elements. This earth element attacked upward in the form of a jet, and everywhere it passed, everything was petrified. The lake water was enveloped.
The Coiled Turtle Alchemy Ship was sealed in a huge rock, and there was nowhere to escape.
This was the terrifying power of a level-nine Magic Shooter. The Winged Skeleton did not expect the gap between them to be so big, and it did not even have the slightest ability to fight back.
The opponent had a magic amplification device, and his mental strength was abnormally terrifying. The mental attacks of necromancy spells became useless skills. A trace of regret appeared in the Winged Skeleton's heart. If only it had listened to Sue's advice!
