Chapter 549: Iron Chains Linking the Boats
ong, can we" Fana asked."When the time comes, there will be a mysterious aid, Miss. Remember this place," Lu Cheng pointed to a location on the map. "It's going to be very chaotic then, and a giant fo...Qi and marine-themed tarot cards, when simply combined, cannot form the gravitational tides.
But Lu Cheng was certain that the Taiyin Xingli could.
Over the centuries, countless brilliant astrologers emerged from the various astronomical schools. The last master of the renowned Hundred Schools of Astronomy resolutely followed his journey abroad in search of lunar phases, traveling as far as the kingdom of Ch'i-chih, and disappeared without a trace ever since.
But its essence is recorded in "Baijia Ling" and has been passed down through the ages.
Reading his story left Lu Cheng in awe. Back when Lu Cheng was preparing for the final battle, he had also recorded the essentials of Mohist mechanisms onto a card, just in case something happened to him so that these secrets could still be passed down.
...but luckily I survived and inherited the secrets of the astronomy masters.
"Stargazing platform, ready!"
Lu Cheng will dismantle the 【Dragon City Viewing Platform】. This platform was built during the Qin Dynasty when a mirage was created, and over time, it had lost its function and only served as a lookout tower. Now, it will have a practical use.
Qi flows, mechanisms transform.
It can carry the power of Taiyin star and induce tides during high tide.
This batch of Lingtao's luck is not good. With the existing Taiyin star power in the deck, it would probably be insufficient to disturb the [Hellespont].
But fortunately, Lu Cheng had learned the Seven Stars Gathering Spirit Technique during his time in Chengdu.
Although it led to a sharp reduction in the number of slots, the efficiency of using spiritual energy was extremely high. Specifically, it manifested as "large caliber" weapons that were slow to load but powerful.
According to Lu Cheng's estimation, it should be enough.
Standing atop the newly constructed astrolabe, Lu Cheng ignited a section of the glyph formation with star power. He furrowed his brow, seemingly sensing something.
Cast a last glance at the sea.
The tail of the Ocean Goddess slammed heavily against the outer casing of the battleship's Xuanwu mechanism.
The bone spurs and metallic sounds are earsplitting!
"Let go!"
Zhou Yu gave a calm order.
Boom, boom, boom!
Flames exploded heavily on the giant female serpent's body.
The call to arms echoes, the fires of war blaze across the Helespontic Sea!
Just as Huo Qubing and Zhou Yu predicted, three days ago, the total attack of Tier 1 and Tier 2 warships from the Sacred Domain arrived.
They believed that, thanks to the Sirens' efforts, the enemy's morale had been weakened to a certain extent. They decided to take advantage of the situation and board the enemy ships with superior forces.
When the first-class battleships drew near, the colossal ships were completely silent. It was only when the second-class battleship fleet approached and unleashed their legions that any sound arose.
The colossal warship, a behemoth of war, finally revealed its terrifying visage.
Zhou Yu's first order, the Xuanwu mechanism was fully covered outside the entire ship. As small warships approached the landing site, they were crushed by the large mechanism armor plates that were in the process of assembling and transforming.
Blood and the red-stained potatoes! The black air swirling above it is truly a scene from hell!
Huo Qubing's army pretended to have a back-and-forth exchange with the Deng fleet, creating the illusion of an imminent and decisive victory. Today, the entire fleet has lowered its sails and closed its core.
Indeed.
With a surge of tumultuous waves, the sea goddess appeared.
She wanted to please her master, so she swayed her serpentine tail and quickly approached the massive ship.
But as she got closer, she suddenly felt something was amiss, and she came to a halt.
The next second, three deafening roars echoed, and fiery meteors plummeted from the sky, engulfing her completely!
This batch is 【Fire Spirit Energy - Bone Scorching Flame】 (flame explosion damage reduced, but enemies will take continuous elemental damage).
Battle chariot with ballistae, prepare!
Zhou Yu said calmly.
The Flying General's army turned their rusty, ancient Qin crossbows, aiming them at the sea serpent.
"Release!"
With the distinctive sound of friction between the three-pronged arrowheads and the crossbow grooves, bolts were launched from the ship one after another.
Behind the crossbow, a chain of thick links.
This is a light chain crafted by Lu Master's summons of shipwrights aboard his vessel, using the war spoils [snake bone].
This time the loot is of high quality, and the snake bones are lightweight, so they won't affect flight. Therefore, we can make a batch of crossbow tail chains according to Gongjin's idea!
After the chains were shot out, they intertwined on the enormous body of the beautiful snake, each one tightly wrapped around the others.
"Hold on!" Master Lu shouted as he saw the situation on the deck.
"Yes!" The Imperial Guard charged forward!
The chain root is straight and tight.
The Ocean Goddess was suddenly attacked and wanted to dive, but at this moment, she was being pulled from all sides. Where could she break free
"Attach the chains to the outer armor and pull with all your might!" Huo Qubing frowned and ordered.
This was Zhou Yu's plan, it is said to be the "Chain of Iron Boats"
(Pulls the target into melee range and locks their movement for a certain period of time.)
Unexpectedly, it's surprisingly good.
The warship's outer shell retracted, forming a turtle shell shape. The Goddess of the Ocean was instantly subjected to immense force, being violently pulled in and slammed against the sturdy plating. The golden-yellow carapace pierced her body, leaving bloody streaks!
Ugh!
The wail echoed through the heavens and earth.
"Is it still cooling" Zhou Yu asked.
"General, we are not skilled in using this weapon," said Fei Lian's military captain helplessly.
Before the Tang Dynasty, talismans were forcibly infused with yin energy to cool them down, preventing them from melting in a yang explosion after being struck.
By the time of the Tang Dynasty's Zhenhai Si, craftsmen had incorporated the best techniques from previous generations and studied Western Regions practices like ice and fire techniques. Ultimately, they replaced yin-yang harmony with a water-cooled system and a design of flames reacting to each other using fire and water.
In order to allow a card to fire more rounds without being scrapped, Lu Cheng and Master Lu, who didn't have much money, naturally learned this design.
The Fei Lian Army are terracotta warriors, clearly more suited to manipulating yin and yang energy for ranged attacks. Water and fire rotations seem very sluggish in comparison.
But such an accident, Zhou Yu could understand.
These terracotta warriors were originally imperial tomb guards, regular soldiers, and not even spellcasters. To put it bluntly, they were just making a cameo appearance.
The reason for using the "iron chains to link the ships" was to prevent this kind of situation from happening, so that the Ocean Goddess wouldn't run away.
How much longer
"General, the artillery is ready to fire!"
"Fire!"
Flames erupted once more.
The air-borne Xuanjiao breathed fire, and the Feather Lin Army leaped over the sea of flames, seizing the opportunity to launch an attack.
After just one round, the Ocean Goddess is already badly injured!
But opportunities are not plentiful.
The Ocean Goddess is, after all, a high-star single card, not so easily bound by the Serpent's Shackles for too long.
As the chains snapped one by one, the heavily wounded prey was about to escape.
Bang!
The man-character pagoda fired.
The giant serpent demon let out another agonizing shriek, but this time it actually helped her escape more quickly. Once she went underwater, all her efforts would have been in vain.
"General, the Heaven Rank won't cool down. Forcing it to fire will damage the tower."
What did Master Lu say
"The Master said, 'In wartime, all depends on the two generals.'"
Zhou Yu furrowed his brows and glanced at Huo Qubing. The two met eyes and nodded in agreement.
"Fire!"
The blazing tower of Fata swallowed steam, the Fei Lian army channeling the final wisps of fire spirit energy into it.
"Xiao Zhao, this won't work! It will melt before you even fire it!" An old soldier anxiously watched the burning falaa in front of him. The sand and stones on it were glowing red from the heat.
Xiao Zhao hadn't spoken yet, when suddenly
A dark shadow flashed past.
Two people discovered that the strange mountain monkey had leaped with force and was now at the top of the Fata peak. Then
Demonic True Form!
The immense demonic energy was completely uncontrollable.
Even a monkey sees the wind rising, it can be known that the waves have reached the height of the Xuanwu armor.
Then, it roared angrily.
Wrenching out the blazing fata with all his might, he held the barrel hot as a branding iron and smashed it down onto the serpent's body!
This one hit, I'm sure
Lu Da Shi hadn't even had time to curse when suddenly the sky ripped open, and a beam of light shot down!
A single golden rod, heavy as it was, slammed into the tower with tremendous force, yet somehow managed to be stopped.
Suddenly, a voice echoed throughout the world: "Humans, you fight well. Let her go and take your other spoils and leave. I will not trouble you further."
"!" to par. Let's just sell it to clients as a toy.The girl definitely wouldn't like it.Lu Cheng thinks that boys definitely like to play with tanks when they are young!High-star [Sandstone] [Moonrock...
