"Those damn b * stards!!"
Seeing the warship sailing towards him, Captain Fux knew that today's battle was inevitable. Of course, if he could, he would certainly like to weigh the anchor immediately and deal with the enemy. Unfortunately, the ship had not been repaired yet, so he couldn't go anywhere. He could only stay here as a living target for the fixed cannons ….
"Alright, everyone, stay alert! Get on the cannons! Prepare for battle! "
Although this merchant ship was not as good as the Van Riel's warship, it was still well-trained. The sailors quickly put down their work and went to the cannons. They controlled the cannons and aimed at the warship in the distance.
"Open fire!!"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Following Captain Fux's order, cannonballs were fired from the cannons and flew towards the Van Riel's frigate. But as soon as the cannonballs reached the front of the frigate, a magical radiance flashed and a semi-circular barrier unfolded. The cannonballs that hit the barrier slid to both sides and fell into the sea with loud bangs.
"Hmph, that's why I said these poor bastards are poor bastards."
Ambassador Ruden snorted coldly. He reached out to pick up a cigar and put it in his mouth. In his opinion, it would be a piece of cake for a frigate to deal with a merchant ship. Putting aside the fact that all the mainstream military warships in this world had permanent magic shields and all kinds of protection, their cannons were also different. Some were specially used to break magic barriers, while others were used to create flames and explosions. But these cannonballs were generally made from tubes, so it was impossible for them to reach the hands of civilians, not to mention these merchant ships. It must be known that it was illegal for merchant ships to hold military supplies. Once discovered, the offender would be jailed.
Because of this, ordinary merchant ships could only hold ordinary cannonballs and could not obtain those military tubes. But an attack of that level was obviously impossible to break the barrier of the frigate in front of them.
"Hahaha, a bunch of mere civilians want to break our Van Riel's warship? That's just …. "
"— —!!"
Before Ruden could finish his words, his eyes were suddenly shrouded by a bright red torrent. The deafening roar whistled past, and for a moment, Lu Deng couldn't even hear anything. He could only stand there blankly, watching the raging torrent of energy collide with the energy barrier and disperse to both sides. After a few moments, the dazzling red light disappeared completely.
"Phew …"
Only then did Rudeng stretch out his hand and wipe the cold sweat off his forehead. He felt weak all over. The attack just now had been too sudden, and Rudeng hadn't been able to react at all. If not for the protection of the energy barrier, he would have been dead long ago!
"You, what are you doing? Quickly counterattack and destroy that broken ship!! "
"Tsk, you didn't kill him?"
Putting down the umbrella in her hand, a look of displeasure appeared on Tiria's face. She originally thought that she could easily sink that broken ship with her own strength, but she didn't expect that the ship's broken turtle shell was much harder than the ghost ship's. He had used all his strength to blast the cannon, but it didn't work.
Do I have to use that …?
Thinking of this, Tiria couldn't help but look at the handle of her umbrella. There was a small and exquisite rose pattern emitting a faint glow.
But just as she was hesitating, a voice suddenly came from the side.
"Leave it to me."
"Sister Nangzheng?"
Hearing Nangzheng's words, Tiria looked at the little angel beside her in surprise. After spending so many days together, Tiria had a good understanding of Nangzheng. As the first summoned creature of Fangzheng, she naturally had the best relationship with Fangzheng. In addition, the little angel was also very talented in alchemy. But her combat power … To be honest, in Tiria's opinion, even a newborn disciple of the Red World would be much stronger than her Angel sister.
But now, she actually had to deal with a warship?
"Are you okay? If there's any danger … "
"No, I'll be fine."
Hearing Tiria's question, Nangzheng smiled and shook her head.
"Actually, it's over.
"… Huh?"
"Prepare to attack! Blast them to ashes!! "
At this moment, Lu Deng was in high spirits. He waved his hands vigorously and shouted orders at the same time. However, what Rudeng didn't expect was that as soon as he finished speaking, he heard a loud bang. In the next moment, the ship under his feet suddenly slowed down.
"What's wrong? What's going on? "
"Report! The magic engine has malfunctioned! "
"How's that possible?"
The captain was stunned when he heard the report from his crew. This was the latest model of Varrier's warship, and the magic engine was also a product of the latest production. How could it malfunction?
"What's the cause of the malfunction?"
"It's … an instant overload of magic energy, causing part of the magic engine to be destroyed!"
"Repair it immediately!"
"We're repairing it, but …"
"What's wrong?"
"The damage is too severe. I'm afraid it won't be repaired in a short time!"
"How troublesome …"
Hearing this, the captain frowned, but he quickly made a decision.
"Repair the engine immediately. Everyone else, get ready to operate the cannons. The enemy is within firing range. Lock on to the target and fire!"
Although the magic engine was damaged, the warships of the main world were powered by both sails and magic energy, so it was still a form of insurance. Even without the magic engine, the warships could still continue to move with their sails open. Although they could not change direction as freely as the magic engine, they should have no problem dealing with a merchant ship.
"Target, two o 'clock —!"
Following the captain's order, several cannons turned at the same time and aimed at the Black Raven.
"Fire!"
BOOM!!!
Ruden had no idea what was going on. After the captain said the word "fire", he only heard a deafening explosion. Then, Ruden's vision turned black and he fell to the ground. When he opened his eyes again, he was shocked by what he saw.
The warship that should have been intact was now full of smoke and fire. The deck was tattered, and only huge holes could be seen as far as the eye could see. The shrill sirens and shouts were mixed together, making it impossible to hear what was being said.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? What happened? "
Holding onto the control panel next to him, Ruden staggered to his feet and asked loudly. But at that moment, the captain not far away from him didn't care what Ruden said at all. He just grabbed the microphone next to him and shouted loudly.
"Put out the fire immediately! Put out the fire! Damn it, don't let the fire spread to the ammunition compartment! What? The sea-access valve opened automatically? How did this happen? Was it blown up in the previous explosion? Damn it … "
"What's wrong, Captain? What the hell is going on? "
Seeing the flustered look of the captain, Ambassador Ruden hurriedly grabbed his shoulder and asked loudly. The captain shook his head blankly.
"I don't know either. I only know that the moment I opened fire, all the magic cannons overloaded and exploded! Damn it, what the hell is going on …. "
"Captain, it's bad!"
However, at that moment, a crew member suddenly ran over with an ashen face.
"There's an unknown high-energy reaction in the magic core!"
"What?"
Hearing this, Ruden didn't react yet, but the captain's face instantly turned pale.
"Abandon the ship, everyone, immediately …."
"Boom!!!"
The next moment, flames soared into the sky and completely destroyed everything.
"Ugh …. What's going on?"
Tiria stood on the deck and stared blankly at the warship in the distance. She only saw the warship suddenly catch fire, then explode in an instant. The warship was blown into two pieces and slowly sank into the sea. This made Tiria inexplicably speechless …. What's going on? The ship sank before I even made a move?
"Sister Nimf? You did this? "
"Yes."
Hearing Tiria's question, Nimf, who had her right hand hanging down, nodded with a smile.
"Fortunately, the enemy's magic utilization is relatively high, so I found a chance to invade the magic circuit of the warship. It seems to be very effective."
"…."
Tiria silently glanced at the glimmer on Nimf's fingertips, then glanced at the wreckage of the warship that had been swallowed by the sea.
