[Forecast: Tomorrow, 4 pm]
The mechanical undead was lucky. Only the magic furnace at the core of the Desolate Ancient Battleship was still operating. All of its defenses had disappeared. If the battleship's combat capabilities were fully activated, let alone the mechanical undead, even the gods of the Undead Plane would not be able to control it.
The mechanical cabins were not the bottommost cabins. The bottommost layer of the Desolate Ancient Battleship was a series of airtight cabins. Above these airtight cabins were a large number of soldiers in deep sleep.
The mechanical undead's metal tentacles grew longer and longer. Wherever they passed, the mechanical parts were all devoured and assimilated.
"Hahahaha! Salin, just you wait … Aiya, aooo!!! " The mechanical undead was so pleased that it forgot itself. Deep within its soul fire, the broken jade emitted a blue electric current, giving it a painful beating.
"Master, Your Highness, I don't dare anymore …" Because the mechanical undead's body was too large, it trembled, causing the Desolate Ancient Battleship to shake as well.
Of course, Salin did not constantly monitor it. After panicking for a while, the mechanical undead finally calmed down. It thought to itself that it could no longer secretly speak ill of Salin in the future. This kind of pain in the depths of its soul was difficult for even an undead like it to bear.
The mechanical undead's devouring range grew larger and larger. Its attributes were truly powerful. The materials of the Ancient Alchemy Machines were hard to damage with magic, but they were quickly assimilated by it and turned into Undead Metal. After devouring the mechanical parts, the mechanical undead began to move on the metallic parts of the battleship.
The walls, the floor, the defensive layers, the pillars …
There were a total of eighteen layers below the Desolate Ancient Battleship. The mechanical undead began to devour from the bottommost layer. Above the engine cabins, storage cabins, auxiliary engine cabins, and a large number of sealed cabins containing ancient martialists appeared.
It seemed that these ancient martialists had been forcefully locked up in the Desolate Ancient Battleship by the First Dynasty. These ancient martialists had been lying in the sealed cabins, waiting for their superiors to wake them up so that they could fight for the First Dynasty.
The mechanical undead did not dare to touch these ancient martialists. It devoured the outer layers of the cabins containing the soldiers one by one, not allowing any air to pass through. Then, it continued upwards, devouring the Desolate Ancient Battleship. Just like that, the 500-meter long, 300-meter wide Desolate Ancient Battleship was devoured by the mechanical undead.
The mechanical undead was able to grow into something as large as a mountain in the Undead Plane. eating this battleship was not its limit. The largest Mechanical Undead were thousands of meters tall and stretched for thousands of miles. Any Undead that passed by would be devoured by the terrifying Mechanical Undead.
Mechanical undead could also create doppelgangers, relying on a wisp of soul fire to duplicate themselves.
The other specters didn't dare to let their soul flames split apart. Once they did, not only would their soul be heavily injured, but the split soul flame wouldn't be their other self. It would be a newly born specter, and it would attack itself in an attempt to merge back its soul flame and become whole again.
If they were to be devoured by their own Soul Fire, the Undead would die completely and disappear from the Undead Plane forever.
This characteristic of the Mechanical Undead allowed it to slaughter other Undead at a frightening speed. Now, the Mechanical Undead felt that its strength had recovered. Its level, which had been lowered due to creating a doppelganger, had returned to Level 7.
The golden soul fire in the mechanical undead's body expanded tenfold. The mechanical undead did not hesitate to split off ten wisps of soul fire and ten humanoid puppets. These humanoid puppets were all three meters tall and looked quite bloated. After splitting off from the mechanical undead's body, they spread out to every corner of the Desolate Ancient Battleship. The top three floors of the Desolate Ancient Battleship had already been opened and controlled by Yun Liu.
The mechanical undead's doppelgangers rushed forward. Two of them tried to curse Salin, but the soul fires of these two doppelgangers were instantly destroyed by a blue electric current. The mechanical undead doppelgangers were instantly killed by the electric current.
Since the experiment had failed, the mechanical undead could only control the clones to devour Yun Liu's metal puppets. Large amounts of magic equipment were devoured by the mechanical undead.
As the mechanical undead's level increased, it controlled more and more cabins. Everything below the third floor was filled with the mechanical undead's clones.
The upper three floors had been almost completely dismantled by Yun Liu. The cabins they created were no longer useful to the mechanical undead. The mechanical undead was finally stuck at level nine. Because of Salin's primordial state, it could not break through to level ten. After realizing this, the mechanical undead could not help but curse again. However, it did not dare to target Salin. Instead, it targeted Yun Liu. It used the language of the undead to curse again. The hundreds of clones that had been created later also cursed at Yun Liu.
Nelis and Nicholas had already cleaned the cabins. The thousands of undead that had come down from the Dragon Skeleton Battleship were reduced to less than two hundred in the end.
The Dragon Skeleton Battleship was still on the deck and had not returned to the sea. Hundreds of mechanical undead clones boarded the battleship and bowed to Salin.
"From now on, follow Bing." Salin ordered the mechanical undead clones to follow the Winged Skeleton. He could not be bothered to lead so many mechanical undead. The mechanical undead's temper was like a human's hooligan. Salin felt annoyed just looking at them.
"We only listen to master's orders!" the mechanical undead clones said in unison.
With a bang, a mechanical undead's chest exploded. Blue electric currents shot out. The golden soul fire in the clone's body was destroyed by the electric currents, causing it to fall to the ground.
"My orders are for you to listen to Bing's orders. If you object, then don't continue living," Salin said coldly.
Tamuenmu revealed too many secrets of the Dragon Island. When Salin heard that so many experts were working for the Iron Blood Grand Duke, he was a little envious and worried.
There was still one more Desolate Ancient Battleship on the Dragon Island. However, it had not been modified or repaired. The Desolate Ancient Battleship that he had captured had the ability to turn invisible. It had even deceived the Magic Shooters of the Alchemy City and infiltrated the Northern Sea from the sea.
The Ironblood Grand Duke had heard that Metatlin City could produce monster cores. To him, this was no secret at all. The people of Metatlin must have found a good hunting ground on the sea, and could easily capture the magical beasts that produced monster cores in groups.
The Iron Blood Grand Duke controlled 128 islands, but there were very few areas that could be used for hunting. In the ruins of the First Dynasty, a lot of equipment needed to be powered by high level magic cores. Because the Iron Blood Grand Duke lacked magic cores, he could not completely explore the ruins of the First Dynasty. He had thousands of mages, but they could only watch as the Desolate Ancient Battleship was used as a huge cannon.
The Iron Blood Grand Duke was determined to get the hunting ground on the sea. Therefore, he sent the Desolate Ancient Battleship to intercept Salin's fleet. On the Desolate Ancient Battleship, there were more than 10 Magic Shooters and eight Ancient Warriors. The large equipment on the ship could destroy more than three Cloud Flow Fleets. With such a powerful force, the Iron Blood Grand Duke did not think that he would lose.
However, he did not expect that the Ancient Warriors were very comfortable with the low temperature. They simply fell into a deep sleep, causing the control method he researched to fail. On the other hand, the 9th Rank High Mage controlling the Desolate Ancient Battleship was tricked by the Water Puppet and killed with its crystal finger.
How could Salin be in the mood to slowly train the mechanical undead? He had to immediately control the Desolate Ancient Battleship. If he could control it, then the Frozen Sea route would be truly safe.
The several hundred mechanical undead clones kept quiet out of fear. Salin would not negotiate with them. A slave was a slave. No matter how strong they were, they had no power to speak of.
"Magic Tooth, create more clones and control the Desolate Ancient Battleship. Follow the fleet north." Salin's order made the mechanical undead complain incessantly.
"Master, this battleship lacks power. It only has a magic furnace. Its fastest speed is 60 kilometers per hour, which is only half of our battleship's speed." One of the mechanical undead clones explained.
Salin narrowed his eyes and glanced at this clone. After thinking for a bit, he said, "Can it be a bit faster?"
"If it has a high level magic core, 80 kilometers is the limit. Any faster and we will need to use all the auxiliary power to increase the speed of this battleship to 120 kilometers."
"Forget it. 80 kilometers is 80 kilometers. If it's too fast, you won't be able to control it." Salin said as he took out 36 level 9 magic cores and handed them to the mechanical undead clone. He said, "Follow me. Before we reach the Frozen Sea, you must be able to completely control this battleship. Follow the blueprints to restore the battleship's defensive facilities and attack power!"
"Yes, Master." This time, the mechanical undead did not dare to negotiate with Salin.
"Bing, let the White Skeleton Battleship follow us." Salin said to the Winged Skeleton. He saw Nelis and Nicholas return to their cabins.
"Let's go." Salin did not ask about the results of the battle. With Nelis's temper, she would definitely not leave any loose ends. This was not on land. In the sea, the soldiers had nowhere to run. On this Desolate Ancient Battleship, there were more than five thousand crew members and the same number of soldiers. It sounded like a lot, but when the Dragon Skeleton Battleship reached the deck, there were already close to a thousand casualties.
Nelis transformed into an undead and released a necromancy spell in the cabin. There would not be a single person left alive in the cabin. Battles on the sea were a hundred times crueler than those on land.
Under the control of the Winged Skeleton, the Dragon Skeleton Battleship stood up shakily and charged toward the deck. It crashed into a few masts that the mechanical undead had painstakingly erected and then plunged into the sea.
The Dragon Skeleton Battleship made one last leap and left a huge pit several meters deep on the deck. The mechanical undead was so angry that it kept cursing, but did not dare to mention a word about Salin.
"Master, why are you in such a hurry to leave?" Nelis was puzzled. With Salin's personality, he would at least check the spoils of war first.
