At this time, there were also emerald butterflies of light dancing around Elvin. His body began to fade as if he was about to merge into the air.
"Heh, I didn't expect Huggins to be so impatient. I thought he would at least fight a few rounds with his normal strength."
However, Elvin could understand Huggins' choice.
Since he needed to rely on the Ilia Republic's own strength to complete the feat of one against five, of course he would have to play to his greatest advantage. It was obviously not advisable to fight a soldier against a general.
The art of war was to create a local advantage in terms of military strength. It was the same in the Transcendent World. Grasping the opponent's weakness to increase one's own advantage was the right way to do it.
Finally, he turned to look at the three gray-robed men standing beside Anita. His voice was slightly cold.
"The three of you, this battle is a chance for you to show your worth. Use your life to protect my sister. If there are any mistakes, you know the consequences."
Before this, Elvin had already released the three pinnacle evil alchemists that he had captured when he attacked the Mechanical Immortality School. He had also returned the [Artificial Skeleton] to them.
No matter what, they were three pinnacle Grade 2 sorcerers. Their combat power was comparable to Grade 3 sorcerers. Their productivity stood at the top of the pyramid in the secular world. How could Elvin bear to give up such useful tools?
Before he became an upper-level sorcerer, he was worried that they would backfire on him. Now, he no longer had such concerns.
Before their ultimate knowledge [Wisdom Machine Template] (which could help the official sorcerers of the school to transform into an amalgamation of thoughts, energy, and information. They could freely switch their bodies among various constructs and achieve spiritual immortality) was successfully materialized.
As the foundation of their existence, their brains were completely under the control of Elvin, the great sorcerer of flesh and blood. Even if they had any bad thoughts, they would be in so much pain that they would rather die. They would not betray or not do their job.
The three sorcerers had already seen the situation clearly and chose to cooperate.
Whoosh!
They tore off the gray robes that hindered them and revealed their golden metal bodies. They took out power hammers, chainswords, and steam powered hand cannons from their respective "magic pockets". The three of them bowed deeply to him and promised.
"Please rest assured, Your Excellency. We will do our best to protect Miss Anita's safety!"
Then, he nodded at his sister, and Elvin disappeared completely in the light butterflies that suddenly rose.
Whoosh —
When he reappeared, he was already on the bridge of the [Legendary Warship — Miracle Crown]. At the same time, the warship had slowly sailed out of the dreams of the sea creatures on the emerald river of light, appearing in the sea of the material world.
It faced the legendary battleship that emerged from the water.
[Legendary Warship Skill — Dream Cruise]
Effect: Break through the fortress between dreams and the material world, allowing one to freely travel between them in material form without any hindrance. It was even possible to use the Spirit Realm as a transit point to teleport objects over a long distance and realize the projection of troops over a long distance.
"Captain!"
"Ship Spirit" May, who was wearing a straight female military uniform, saluted Elvin solemnly.
Elvin returned the salute.
"Command! Weapon system activated, authority unlocked, entering combat mode!"
"Understood!"
Immediately after.
The supernatural aura flowed through the runes and rituals that covered the entire warship. The black warship that was floating quietly on the surface of the water suddenly bared its claws and teeth like a giant beast that had suddenly woken up from a deep sleep!
Elvin walked to the main pilot's seat at the front of the bridge.
At this moment, Olivia, who had already changed into a gemstone armor, had already entered her half-covered co-pilot's seat.
The sparkling sapphire-like stripes on the girl's body resonated with the engravings on the pilot's seat. Her spiritual aura and magic power had already connected with the warship.
She moved her eyes away from the large and small light screens in front of her and nodded slightly at Elvin to confirm that everything was normal.
Apart from Olivia, who had already become a senior official wizard and assumed the role of the artificial support unit on the legendary warship, there was no third person on this ship.
Elvin was not worried that the legendary warship with a ship spirit would cause a "Wisdom Machine Crisis".
It was because although Mei's learning ability was extremely strong, he could rest assured that she would be able to pilot on autopilot. However, in a battle against a legendary warship of the same level, the ability to judge the battlefield was especially important.
For example, when there was only one chance to attack, whether to choose to rescue a teammate of the same faction or continue to attack, the immature ship spirit was not up to the task.
Elvin only had time to carefully observe the [Legendary Warship – Sea Spirit] one kilometer away when he sat in the main pilot's seat and listened to the increasingly loud splashing sound outside.
This was a dark blue warship that was equivalent in size to a first-level warship. The material was strange and did not seem to be wood.
The overall structure was not much different from an ordinary battleship. It was just that it was much lower, somewhat like the Morning Star after the bow and stern were flattened.
On the deck, there were three masts that were tilted backward and resembled fins. Above the masts hung sails that were constantly flowing like white clouds. There was no portrait at the bow of the ship. Instead, there was a "ship spirit" with the head of an octopus that protruded like a bubble.
Combined with the information from the Raging Waves Church, it was easy to deduce that Huggins had obtained the transcendent material from the Blackwing Cult. After that, the Goddess of the Black Sea, Hipponoa, spent a huge amount of energy to bless him and complete his transformation.
Elvin now knew.
The Tulip Alliance, which was far away from the center of the source continent and had only risen after the steam engine revolution, did not have a lot of resources. Only the top three powerful nations had their own legendary warships. They were Faletis's [Steam Fortress], Tyro's [Wings of Deities and Demons], and Ilya's [Southern Cross Star].
However, just like how the [Steam Fortress] needed the queen or the crown prince to temporarily grant it permission before it could be deployed, this group of capitalists clearly did not have the ability to obtain Ilya's [Southern Cross Star] like they did with the navy.
That warship had already disappeared along with the fleeing royal family. Otherwise, it would have been a huge problem if it had stayed.
Now, two legendary warships that did not belong to the Alliance were about to duel in this area of the sea.
[Legendary Warship – Miracle Crown]
Specifications: Total length of the hull is 132 meters. Width of the hull is 16 meters. Standard displacement after outfitting is 2,800 tons. Conventional speed is 32 knots.
Armament: [Missile Silos at the front and rear], [Railgun – Shipboard Improved], [Beam Weapon – Red-Haired Witch], [Tower Assembly – Wizard Tower], [Shield Generator – World Barrier] …
The main cannon's firing rate is three shots per minute. The cannon's mass is increased and the initial speed is five times the speed of sound. The maximum range is 100 kilometers. The secondary cannon turret is a conventional design. A single barrel can achieve a firing rate of ten shots per minute at three times the speed of sound. It can accurately hit targets within ten kilometers.
Elvin stared at the Sea Spirit that had turned around and gave the order to attack.
"Plum, the secondary cannon turret's firing rate is the same. Show Huggins what we're made of. Hersey, provide support."
"Yes, Sir Captain!"
"Understood!"
Under Plum's control, the two cannon turrets on the rear deck adjusted their firing angles as if they were alive and quickly completed their self-calibration.
Click, click, click …
The mechanical transmission device loaded the enchanted aluminum bullets into the cannon barrel. The cannon barrel rotated automatically and overlapped with the cannon barrel.
Then, the [Energy Core – Touch of the Tree of Life] quickly extracted the energy of the [Golden Crown] and converted it. Two seconds later, the electromagnetic cannon was fully charged.
"Fire!"
Following Elvin's order.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Red-red lines of fire poured out from the two cannon turrets. The distance of one kilometer was as if it did not exist at all.
Although there were only two cannon turrets and four barrels, the total firing rate of forty shots per minute was a qualitative change compared to the smoothbore cannons of this era.
On the Sea Spirit.
After Huggins noticed the abnormal situation, he immediately flew to the deck of the Sea Spirit.
He stared at the strange warship that he had never seen before in his decades of roaming the Black Sea. He was sure that it did not belong to any of the ships that he had received information about. Just when the Pirate King who always planned before taking action was a little surprised and doubtful.
Suddenly, he noticed that the strange "alchemy cannon" on the opponent's ship had flashed slightly.
One second later.
Boom!
The Sea Spirit seemed to have been hit by a battering ram that carried a huge amount of kinetic energy. Huggins almost jumped up from the deck. The explosion of aluminum powder ignited by the plasma blasted a big hole in the hull.
Compared to the full force attack of the Glory, it was not inferior at all.
Then, less than two seconds later, there was another huge tremor.
Even if Huggins was confident in the regenerative ability of the Sea Spirit, he could not help but shout.
"Sea Spirit defense, [Water Bubble Ring]!"
Whoosh …
A tall and thick transparent water ring that surrounded the entire warship suddenly rose and spun at a high speed. The speed of the water flow was equivalent to the most turbulent torrent in the Black Sea under natural conditions.
But even so, it was still being penetrated.
That was because the force that the enchanted aluminum bullet received per unit of time was not enough to cause its trajectory to deviate too much. It was only until the width of the water ring was increased to close to the limit of fifty meters that it barely maintained its balance.
But under the intensive and indiscriminate bombardment, it soon began to shake. It was only a matter of time before it was lost.
"Sea Spirit chase after it, [Vortex Maneuver]!"
The water flow at the bottom of the ship began to stir at a high speed. Like a vortex, it pushed the warship forward and its speed was getting faster and faster.
Whoosh!
At the same time, Elvin drove the Miracle Crown and began to shift the battlefield. He left the battlefield of the Quasi Legends and moved towards the vast sea in the distance.
From the information he received from the Raging Waves Church, he had a good understanding of the Sea Spirit.
Because this legendary warship was blessed by the victory of the Black Sea Goddess, it was a collection of various natural forces in the Black Sea. Without the support of additional energy sources, its data would never exceed the limits of the Black Sea itself.
As the fundamental power source, [Vortex Maneuver] had its own limits.
The fastest vortex was the Saarte Vortex in the north of the Black Sea. Its highest speed could reach forty kilometers per hour, which was 22 knots.
One after the other, the two legendary warships split the waves and quickly disappeared into the sea. The soldiers on the battlefield who had witnessed the terrifying power of the legendary warships heaved a sigh of relief.
Anita had already taken over the command of the Storm Horn. She waved her hand hard.
"Milan, activate [Unicorn Shark]."
The bow of the ship was activated like the Storm Horn.
Whoosh …
The roaring whirlwind had already accumulated and gathered in front of the Storm Horn.
Then, it quickly gathered into a ram made of whirlwinds and torrents. At the same time, a roaring whirlwind barrier formed around the hull. The huge sail of the warship immediately swelled up.
In the ear-piercing buzzing sound, the Storm Horn had already led the charge towards the Republic fleet that was made up of four Quasi Legends.
Following the fierce battle between the Transcendent and Legendary warships, the battle between the Quasi Legends began at the same time!
