Chapter 194: The Golden Flash!
A magic ship was hanging high in the air!
It was shaped weirdly; it looked like an enormous disk.
All around the disk’s chassis were “scales” that glittered gold.
The disk had five light cannon turrets on it, evenly distributed across its surface.
In the middle of the disk, there was its main cabin that was a prism crystal that was far more towering and gigantic than any of the light cannon turrets.
The magic ship emitted a strong gold level aura.
This was what Hun Tong had kept waiting until the right moment, the Golden Flash!
Before this, it had been hiding high in the clouds, and its first attack had shot Qi You down, stunning the entire battlefield.
At this moment, Song Shou and Er Gua Zi stopped fighting as they marveled at it.
The former was pleasantly surprised while the latter was solemn.
In the Deep Sea Monster Fish, Zi Di gazed at the magic image, her eyes glinting.
While buying treasures from the auction, she had been planning to build a flying magic ship, she didn’t expect to see one now, especially one more advanced than the one she wanted to create!
Hun Tong’s clone intensified its attacks.
The old clan elder and the naga priestess had to hold it back while paying more attention to the Golden Flash.
The card Hun Tong had been hiding was grander than anyone expected.
“A gold level magic ship are usually owned by saint level figures. Yet Hun Tong has one?”
“Abominable, he’s earned so much from Two Eyes Island these last years!”
“Hun Tong’s bloodline has reached its limit, rather than increasing his equipment or his personal strength, perhaps he thought to pool everything he had into something big.”
Everyone rolled with thoughts and constant estimations.
A gold level magic ship coming down was like a king descending to snatch away the svelte all other magic ships here.
Not just that.
It could also fly!
A flying magic ship was quite rare.
Controlling air superiority was an immense advantage.
Normal ship cannons on the sides of ships found it difficult to aim high into the sky.
Although deck cannons could shoot into the sky, there were too few of them.
Only magic could strike the Golden Flash.
But which magicians could?
Surveying the battlefield, there were no more than 10 silver level casters, two of which were dead already.
Of the gold level fighters, not all of them could fly.
Neither Er Gua Zi nor the old clan elder had flying battle skills.
Therefore, they could only look on helplessly and impotently.
It could be said that the mere fact the Golden Flash was floating at a high altitude gave it a seemingly invincible position.
Song Shou burst into laughter, “Er Gua Zi, I concede you are stronger than me, but so what? We will still be the true winners!
Human morale soared.
Yan Ding grumbled, “Hey, if you had this kind of ship, why didn’t you deploy it earlier? Why did you trouble me so greatly until now?
Hun Tong’s alchemy clone glanced at him as it continued to attack violently.
Xi Dai Zi unconsciously held his breath.
Compared to the Golden Flash, the Vinegar Jar he controlled paled by comparison.
Xi Dai Zi had a stronger premonition – the Vinegar Jar couldn’t withstand the gold magic ship’s bombardment!
“What should I do?”
“How can I compete with that ship?”
All kinds of thoughts flashed in Xi Dai Zi’s mind.
“Damn it!”
“There’s nothing.”
“If we found out about it beforehand, we wouldn’t be so helpless now.”
Xi Dai Zi felt how sinister Hun Tong was.
He actually had his biggest card hidden in the clouds.
When the fishmen were scouting out Two Eyes Island, how could they check the sky?
They couldn’t probe that part of the new island.
This arrangement demonstrated how wise Hun Tong was.
He had chosen the time and place the auction was held very carefully.
Every time one island floated up, everything on it melting away, it was white paper he could paint with his massive construction projects.
Spies like Shi Fa couldn’t get into the new island ahead of time to investigate it.
“Cough, cough, cough.”
Qi You coughed up blood into the sea.
“A gold level turret!”
The blast he took had seriously injured him.
“The main turret has the might of at least 5 light cannon turrets!”
“Crucially, the light beam is very accurate and fast.”
“I had been entirely on guard, yet I wasn’t able to evade it.”
“This was also while I was on the defensive.”
“With a turret like that, recklessly flying into the air will turn one into an easy target.”
Qi You’s fighting spirit plummeted to the depths.
He didn’t fly back up, rather he swam through the sea towards his flagship.
Qi You was a gold level pirate boss, if he chose this, the other pirates did too.
After the pirates broke from their stupefaction, they reacted one after the other.
“Row! Row has hard as you can.”
“Go faster, faster.”
“My god, Qi You was struck down in a single shot, that ship is too formidable.”
Hun Tong smiled as his half closed eyes revealed a cold glint.
“Where do you think you are going?”
“I kindly persuaded all of you to be treated as guests.”
“But you obstinately clung to your habits and looted by domain!”
“Since you’re so undiscriminating, then you’ll leave your lives here.”
A moment later, the Golden Flash’s hull’s innumerable “scales” automatically separated themselves from the ship and flew down in a whirl.
Hundreds of these “scales” quickly hovered over every place, each of them rotating ceaselessly.
The main light cannon turret’s tip began to pour out five thick beams of light.
These beams of light imbued the 5 light cannon turrets around it.
A moment later, all of the light cannon turrets fired a light beam simultaneously.
The perfectly straight light beams first hit the nearby circular “scales”, scattering the beams into three parts.
The three light beams were far thinner and were cast at more “scales” in the distance.
By means of the “scales”, the light beams were constantly refracted and scattered to form an immense light beam network across the skies above battlefield.
The tips of this light beam network precisely hit enemies.
Pirate landing skiffs, fishmen troops, the Vinegar Jar, and other foes all received “consideration”.
In just a spilt second, a thousand pirates died violently!
Many landing skiffs sank.
Cultivators ran away in a sorry state, few them survived this danger.
The Vinegar Jar’s hold rumbled from the ruthless light beams.
The refracting light beams precisely seared holes into the Vinegar Jar.
A second later, the treasure laden pirates that were proudly departing and the tumultuous fishman army were swept away in a mighty fashion.
After another second, pirate blood sprayed into the ocean, ships sank, and t he fishman army’s offensive was stopped due to massive casualties, their howls of grief ever present now.
After shooting Qi You, the Golden Flash’s second attack had instantly overturned the entire war situation!
“No wonder Hun Tong was so calm!” Zi Di looked at the magic image, turning pale, “With that magic ship, he was always in control of the entire battlefield.”
She compared the Deep Sea Monster Fish to the magic ship before her.
Both were gold level.
But utterly different.
The Deep Sea Monster Fish was a stealthy deep water submarine, while the other was an airship.
One was in the sea; one was in the sky.
In terms of applications, the Deep Sea Monster Fish had more.
Because this was the ocean.
Most natural resources were in the ocean.
Airships had to land to resupply.
“In terms of speed, the other ship hasn’t displayed anything yet, so no comparison can be made.”
“In terms of military power, the Deep Sea Monster Fish has two gold cannons and two types of special gold level artillery shells.”
“The other ship has 5 silver level light cannon turrets. The main turret is definitely gold level and serves as its main firepower.”
Zi Di calculated the firepower.
The light beam that had shot Qi You should have come from the main turret, its power was somewhat less, but its accuracy and speed were extremely high.
If the Deep Sea Monster Fish fired a gold artillery shell from one of its cannons, its power might be greater, but hitting a gold level person was quite difficult.
In terms of offense, the Golden Flash was very impressive.
With one attack, it had toppled the war situation, caused mass casualties, scored many military victories, and had done more in that single attack than Yan Ding had done the entire battle.
The Deep Sea Monster Fish had ways of wounding groups too.
It was called the Hedgehog Firepower Counterattack.
After being activated, the Deep Sea Monster Fish’s entire hull would create jet holes that could shoot out three alchemy arrows every second from each one.
500015000
With 5000 jet holes and this rapid firing rate, it could shoot 15,000 alchemy arrows per second!
“The group culling abilities of both are about equal.”
“But they have different inclinations.”
“The Deep Sea Monster Fish emphasizes defense, and through comprehensive firepower cover, it can counteract an enemy’s offensive.”
“While the other ship is all about precise attacks that focuses on every light beam hitting its target. This is impossible for the Deep Sea Monster Fish to do.”
“What exactly allows the light beams to lock onto their targets?”
“Don’t tell me that ship has been outfitted with a powerful ship spirit?”
Zi Di guessed to herself.
“Its concealment ability allows it to hide in the clouds, and even the Deep Sea Monster Fish’s detection methods didn’t notice anything.”
“It is very good at it.”
“But it cannot compare to the Deep Sea Monster Fish.”
In this point, Zi DI was very confident.
The Deep Sea Monster Fish had formidable camouflage capabilities. It was outfitted with the Deceptive Disguise and the Anti-investigation and Prophecy formations, both the best of their type in the world.
In this respect, even if the flying magic ship was overestimated, it still couldn’t compare with the Deep Sea Monster Fish.
“The Deep Sea Monster Fish’s greatest advantage stills rests with the fact that it can do alchemy.”
“It’s alchemy cabin has exceptional alchemy installations; it is a mobile first-rate alchemy workshop.”
“This cannot be achieved by the other ship.”
“The two ships have very different categorizations.”
“The Deep Sea Monster Fish is a submarine used to conceal and camouflage War Merchant as he collected resources and moved around.”
“While this magic airship must have cost Hun Tong most of his wealth, he spent that humongous sum to build a warship to be used to patrol the seas and deal with enemies.”
“According to this categorization, that magic ship’s flight speed should be decent, it should also have long distance and scale detection capabilities.”
Zi Di immediately transmitted this crucial information as well as her conjectures to the dragonman youngster.
The underground depths.
“The aura over there, two hundred meters straight ahead.” The dragonman youngster was solemn.
Zong Ge, Chi Lai, and the rest were the same.
As they were planning to storm in boldly, they got Zi Di’s information.
The dragonman youngster and the others looked at each other for a moment.
Soon after, they changed their tactics.
Since they now had the advantage, they no longer needed to risk charging recklessly.
