The lonely boat in Canghai looked down at the time. The pointer on the pocket watch pointed to the five. The complex mythical words were like a set of twisted mountains, shining darkly under the glass. It was the last period before dawn in winter. The world that was about to wake up was ready to move in the darkness, and a trace of whiteness gradually appeared in the east.
Amid the low roar from the bottom cabin, Jori walked in from the captain's room, and there were several middle-level guilds accompanying him. Jori looked at him and said with a slightest statement: "The communication to the other side of the star gate is broken."
"Same as last time?"
"It's not the same," Jorie shook her head: "The community is still fine, but other contact information has been unilaterally suspended."
"I heard that the military people came to us?"
"There is this rumor, but no one informed us."
The two looked at each other, and Canghai Guzhou pondered for a moment: "What do you say from the guild?"
"The president is not sure what's going on over there. The people from the club asked us about our progress. They need you to be sure when you can catch this 'fish'."
“The club is in a hurry?”
"I don't know, but you'd better give me a schedule so I can reply." Jorie replied in a low voice.
"I can't answer this question alone. It depends on the ability of other people of the Florids. We are allies, but we don't belong to the same guild," Canghai Guzhou replied: "It's only three days, and at least three days, we can force the target to the predetermined target area."
Jori nodded. He shouldn't have said the following words, but after thinking about it, he still reminded him: "It seems that there are alliance people behind this matter directly intervening. I saw their officials. The president meant that even if the military puts pressure on it, the alliance will help withstand it."
Canghai Guzhou glanced at his old partner in surprise. He was not surprised. The alliance and the guild alliance cooperated closely, and both sides had their own interests in this matter. Moreover, if it were not for the Southern Alliance, the other party would not have put a gray wanted order for this.
However, he did not expect that the alliance would be so determined this time, even under the pressure of the military, they would have to do the job. On the other hand, they had already guessed that the other party had a certain relationship with the military, otherwise the other party would not have escaped after the battle of Kelan'ao.
He listened to his old partner, nodded silently and asked again: "The above wants us to enter the silent state of communication?"
"Now it's almost the same as Jingmo," Jorie replied, "but it's safer."
"Okay," Canghai Guzhou replied: "I will send an order later to ban the entire fleet from external contact. Is this what the guild means?"
"It means alliance."
Canghai Guzhou raised his eyebrows and probably understood something, but his mind was only on this task. He was a middle- and senior member of the guild, but he was not a core member of the club. He had neither the ability nor the interest in caring about things outside of Aitalia.
He just nodded and expressed his understanding.
"What about the live broadcast?"
"The people on the BBK mean, let's leave it alone."
Don’t worry, it means keeping it. Canghai Guzhou understands that the personnel sent to the live broadcast at the headquarters this time are two systems, and the project team specially organized on it is from BBK, not insiders of the Jeffrett Red Clothing Team Guild.
The meaning of clubs is to let them not interfere.
"Then they'd better not interfere with our actions." Canghai Guzhou understood what Qiaoli said and murmured to himself.
...
"I found the whereabouts of the other party, Vice President."
Yue Chen's vice president, Hai Lan raised his eyelids slightly, staring at his adjutant through his long eyelashes, and his eyes were unchanging in his ice-blue eyes.
She didn't have to speak, so others naturally understood what she meant. People gave her a very clichéd nickname, "Ice Beauty", but as her status in the guild rose day by day, the nickname gradually became a more unpleasant "Iron Virgin".
"Their location is in..."
The adjutant looked at the text on the report in a little surprised: "They did not appear in the expected area, and the last time they appeared was south of Ash Tree Ridge, were they planning to go...?"
Hailan waved his hand and interrupted the other party, as if he was not interested in where the Qihai Brigade planned to go: "How far is it from us?"
"It's not far, Vice President... At present, we are the closest to each other."
"That's enough," Hailan replied lightly: "Let the fleet expand its formation and prepare to launch the clockwork fairy and find the other party."
...
Two or three dazzling lights flashed in the night sky.
Under the curtain of the unfolding flame, the Qihai Traveler was passing through the shock waves generated by the explosion. Although the people on the deck were shaking, under Miss Tata's superb control skills, the ship still left the range of the two shells without any danger.
Although it was a matter of time before and after encountering the Florian squadron, Fang Yu did not expect to bump into Yue Chen's fleet head-on.
Moon, the predecessor of Yuechen, is the oldest club of the guild, belongs to one of the three giants V.E.M. The long club history has given this guild one of the richest family assets in the entire third division. Although they have made some significant mistakes and faults in personnel training in recent years, their fleet can still rank among the top three of the top ten guilds.
As for the other two, the Silver Weislan and the Godslayer, the former has a long history, while the latter has a series of excellent alchemists including the Nether.
Fang Zhu recognized this unique fleet through the opponent's unique blue flag. The "Blue Ghost" is originally the nickname of Yue Chen's hunting fleet. They defeated the strong by defeating the strong by defeating the strong and had won a series of wars in the turbid realm and accumulated a great reputation.
The fleet that appeared on the Qihai Traveler in front of me was this fleet. Although it was not the complete version of the "Blue Ghost", the iconic narrow hull of the three floating ships on the left and right still showed the other party's identity. It was the unique airship of the "Blue Ghost" - the three-masted inclined spinnaker, which has amazing mobility and flexibility in the sea with changing wind directions.
They are like the tentacles and ears of the main fleet, and the hunting dogs in the hunting team are especially good at dispersed joint attack tactics. Once they are entangled by them, almost few people can escape calmly.
This fleet not only has a reputation in China. In fact, it has experienced fighting fleets from many famous clubs in North America and Europe. Although it can gain the upper hand every time, its historical record is obviously more wins than defeats.
Fang Ling doesn't think that the current level of the Qihai Brigade has already caught up with the old guilds and clubs. Moreover, even if Miss Tata can really reach the same level, they are still at a huge disadvantage in terms of quantity.
After all, the Qihai Traveler is just a ship, not a fleet—
He didn't expect that he would encounter such a difficult opponent as soon as he got up. If Ragnarok's fleet was much easier to deal with. Although one of his nominal teachers, Odin, had a good relationship with him - he had to say that Ragnarok's fleet was really a bit unbearable among the top ten in China, and was even worse than the fleets of some guilds that ranked lower-ranked - such as the fleet of the Jeffrett Red Team.
In fact, since the retirement of the last two capable commanders, Ragnarok's fleet construction has been in a state of suspension. Not only is it short of personnel, but the technology has also been very slow to be updated. Recently, in order to rectify his fleet, Ragnarok has even let Odin intervene directly. However, as we all know, this warrior has outstanding personal combat power, but he has always been played by KUN in his command.
Although it may be a bit sorry for the other party, Fang Yu himself also thinks that the master Odin is more suitable to charge forward rather than to command in the formation.
The golden track hanging in the night sky has not disappeared yet-
That was the sign that the other party had deployed the wing boat before. The response of the 'Blue Ghost' was similar to what they had previously guessed. It should have used the wind element detector to determine the location where they finally disappeared, and then released the Clockwork Fairy on a large scale to search.
Although Fang Yu turned the clockwork out to a near-limit position and did not let the opponent's "eyeline" leak into the alert range, the other party obviously roughly determined their range of movement based on the position where the clockwork was attacked.
The Qihai Traveler had already reached a low altitude at this time, but the other party almost without hesitation to drop wing boats to several designated locations and dispatched ground teams. These were all possibilities they had imagined in advance, but the only thing they did not expect was that the accuracy of the opponent's prediction was obviously more than one order of magnitude higher than that of the Jeffrett Red Team.
The ‘Blue Ghost’ did not waste much time between each step, and seized the opportunity very accurately - and the key point is that the position of the other party’s wing boat was extremely accurate, and almost every time it was dropped, it just stuck in the airspace where the Qihai Traveler advanced.
This made Fang Yu feel a little uncomfortable. The current situation did not exceed their guesses, and the other party did not grasp their position at the beginning. But this predictive ability probably comes from the intuition on the battlefield, or after accumulating a lot of experience, he made a judgment almost instinctively.
This is a bit unreasonable for them, such as the "novice".
Compared with the fast sailing ships of the Jeffrett Red Clothes Team, the "Hunter" sent by Yuechen is smaller, although it is still huge compared to the Qihai Traveler. However, this size of sailboat is obviously more convenient in low-altitude airspace.
The low altitude that the Jeffrett Reds dare not easily get involved, these Clippers with long narrow hulls and spinnakers do not have so many concerns.
The concerns that the other party did not have were undoubtedly bad news for everyone in the Qihai Brigade.
In fact, they spent a lot of effort to escape from the other party's encirclement before, but unexpectedly they still bumped into the hunting fleet that the other party dispersed. Although there were not many, there were only three ships, which were probably one of the fleets that the other party dispersed to find their location.
But the real threat is obviously not on these three "hounds", but on the main fleet behind them. Once they are entangled by them, Yuechen's fleet may catch up at any time.
Fang Yu quickly reached an agreement with others and planned to break through forcibly.
Tianlan was holding the side of the ship tightly with his hands, beware of being thrown out by the inertia when the Qihai Traveler turned, and at the same time, he looked at the three ghost-like ships that were catching up with behind him with great nervousness.
The three Yuechen Feng ships all had their first guns, and the other party seemed to be unwilling to sink them, and they used flowering bullets to force the Qihai Traveler to move. One of the shells almost flew over to the left side of the Qihai Traveler, causing the shields there to flash, and almost instantly weakened half of the shield value.
However, Miss Tata never gave Yuechen's ship a chance to flank toward them and fire a volley, and always escaped from the other party's encirclement one step ahead.
The three Yuechen sailboats finally became a little impatient. Two of them began to accelerate at a speed visible to the naked eye and tried to escape from the safe range, intending to go directly to the front of the Qihai Traveler to further block its evasion space.
Tianlan widened her eyes and shouted:
"Brother Ed!"
But in fact, there was no need for her to shout. The Qihai Traveler had already opened the air combat deck, and one after another of the lancers were dropped out and flew up from the night sky with green light rails. The other party had obviously heard of this air combat structure from the Jeffrett Red Team. After noticing this scene, the three ships immediately dispersed.
But unfortunately, the flexibility of the sailboat is far less than that of the air combat installation, especially at this distance. Although their well-trained sailors responded at the first time, it was still a little late.
The structure flying away from the Qihai Traveler immediately rushed in that direction. The image was not visible in the darkness, and only a few bright beams of light flew to the starboard side - and then the dazzling red light shone across the night sky, and beams concentrated on the shields of the sailboats.
The Yangyan ray is very powerful, but a single lancer is not enough to disintegrate the shields of the floating-class ship. However, when the Qihai Traveler invested as many as 34 air combat equipment, the opponent's response seemed a little clumsy.
Fang Yu could clearly see that they concentrated the energy of the shield. This strategy is often used in air combat, because when floating ships open the battle lines to face the enemy, only one side or fewer areas will be attacked, but this skill is obviously ineffective for flexible air combat configurations.
In fact, several scorching rays have passed through the shield. Although they have not caused any damage to the hull, they have left a few marks on the deck, but have taken away several lives. There are not only sailors on the deck, but also standby elements to fight with Marines who are preparing to fight on the sidelines.
These people are almost equivalent to targets on the deck before approaching a certain distance.
Several bright flames bloomed in the night sky again.
The other party fired and fought back, but the target was not the Qihai Traveler. For the lancers surrounding the square pikes around one of the ships, the floating ship was so expensive that even Yue Chen could not afford to lose. Before falling off the Qihai Traveler, it was obvious that they were more important to protect their ships.
The lancers who flocked in obviously posed a great threat to the other party, making the other party feel at risk of a shipwreck.
However, in Fang Ling's opinion, this is not just a risk.
He must not let the other party follow them unscrupulously.
Under the explosion of fire, several lancers that plunged into one end almost instantly turned into fire balls and fell from the air with long tail flames. However, Fang Zhu did not control these lancers at all. They just followed the behavior pattern that had been set in the closed circulation device and launched an attack around the other party.
He looked in that direction and pointed with his hand, and when the lances turned to the other side of the sailboat, a golden light suddenly flew out of them.
The members of Yue Chen on the sailboat were obviously people who knew the goods. When they saw this scene, they couldn't help but scream - try to go to the Grand Guild to analyze almost no troops' opponents before the enemy, even for small targets like the Seven Seas Brigade.
The sailors on Yuechen's sailboat controlled their ship at the last moment and made a horizontal turn that seemed almost impossible to others. Even Fang Zhu looked at this scene in surprise. He always thought that only under the control of Miss Tata could the sailboat make such agile and beautiful movement.
But it is obvious that under the control of well-trained sailors, the sailboat can also achieve considerable flexibility.
But this flexibility doesn't make much sense.
The golden floating light flew down, but the elements on the opponent's deck made them chant loudly and raised the staff in their hands. Although most of the elements made them unstable in the huge horizontal turning, they failed to successfully cast the spell. But a few people successfully cast it, causing a translucent net to fly from the sailboat.
After Fang Zhu's fire giant passed through the light net, it immediately fell on the deck, as if it was raining in a sensation, but the preset detonation time did not take effect, and the explosion crystals installed inside the clockwork fairies seemed to have failed.
Fang Yu was stunned for a moment and immediately reacted. It was a shock note - an enhanced version of the spell that Tianlan used in the refugee camp not long ago. This spell did not harm the Fire Giant itself, but the resonance and sound waves generated were enough to damage the explosive crystal inside the clockwork fairy.
Explosive crystals are already delicate and have crystal structures, so how can they withstand such attacks?
He didn't expect that the Flor's descendants found a way to deal with Fire Giant Soul so quickly. This method may not be very useful for individuals and teams, but it is most appropriate to use it in Sailboat Mountain.
Fang Yu was very surprised. His understanding of the guild's ability was beyond the reach of another step, but who told you that only the clockwork fairies could explode? He raised his hand and took over the control of several lancers. When everyone's attention was focused on the fire giants, he let the lancers go around the other side of the sailboat and then quietly bumped into it.
A dazzling ball of fire flashed in the darkness, followed by a deafening roar from afar. The sailboat hanging on the spinnaker suddenly shook, and it broke from the middle as if it was cut in half. The two split hulls burned with raging flames and slowly fell from the air.
Tianlan looked at the fired sailors who jumped ship in a daze. Most of them were wind-elemental, so they could float in the air in a short time, slowly sink, and wait for the rescue of the other two ships. However, the Marine Corps was in a miserable state. Like the scattered hull, they fell down like stones.
This attack obviously shocked Yue Chen's people, and the remaining two ships were slowed down suddenly. They had not yet figured out how Fang Yu's attack arrived, so they did not dare to act rashly for a while. One of the ships approached the incoming ship, while the other ship slowed down and hung far behind the Qihai Traveler, not daring to get close.
Although they may not have figured out how Fang Yu's attack arrived, they roughly understood one thing first. It is obviously not just the fire giant spirit - everything can explode.
"They dare not catch up with you for the time being," Luo Hao looked at the scene, and the other party said, "We are almost at the area of ​​Charter City. The mining area is right in front of you. It is time to turn."
Fang Zhu nodded.
But he was about to issue an order when suddenly Jita's voice was heard from the sound transmission cylinder:
"Captain, the wind element detector responded... Another fleet appeared in front of it."
Fang Yu was stunned when he heard this, and his heart couldn't help but sink.
Chapter completed!
