Chapter 1193: Naval Battle
However, the Endless Sea has never been a calm place, although the vast sea seems to be the same everywhere, but under this sea surface is densely covered with the territory of various sea monsters. u n u n e t / The huge Star Ship sailed in one direction, and it was impossible not to alarm those sea monsters along the way.
After slaying the nine-headed sea dragons, Lin Li's trip to the sea is literally a sea hunt, from a giant sea beast that can swallow a merchant ship, to a manta ray that is the size of a finger but can pierce through steel like a bullet, and a sea witch who lures sailors with her song.
Although these various sea demonic beasts had greatly increased Lin Li's knowledge on this trip, those battles were still not of much weight for a high-level Sacred Domain powerhouse like him. After all, a powerhouse at the level of the Holy Domain, no matter what era he was in, could be regarded as a powerful existence standing at the peak of the Anriel world, and there were not many who could really threaten him.
Of course, such a situation also made Lin Li vaguely deduce that the Star should not have entered the depths of the Endless Sea now. You must know that it is said that in the depths of the Endless Sea, there is no single sea demonic beast that is at the level of the Holy Domain, and there are not a few who have even reached the peak of the Holy Domain. It is precisely because of this that the depths of the Endless Sea can almost be said to be a forbidden area in the Anriel world, and even the powerhouses of the Sacred Realm dare not go deep into it alone.
The Jindu Kingdom is known as the Endless Sea, but in fact, it has not really explored all the Endless Seas, and the main range of activities is still the sea closer to the Anriel Continent. Only with the powerhouses of the Holy Realm in charge, the fleet of the Jindu Kingdom dared to explore a little deeper into the Endless Sea, but only a little deeper.
Lin Li stood on the deck of the Xingchen, and gently waved his hand out against the sea breeze, and a thunderbolt with a roar shot on the ocean demonic beast that had just emerged not far away. In just an instant, the ocean demonic beast with the peak strength of the legend was directly cooked by the thunder light. In this kind of battle, Lin Li felt a little numb, if he didn't want those sea demonic beasts to hinder the voyage of the Star, he wouldn't have bothered to clean them up at all.
However, just when Lin Li was feeling bored, several warships with black sails appeared below the horizon in the distance. Merchant and fishing vessels sailing on the seas generally hang white sails, and only pirates hang black sails on their ships, and their respective emblems are often painted on them to indicate the identity of their pirate group. Therefore, as soon as he saw the black sails hanging on the other party's ship, Lin Li immediately knew that he had encountered pirates.
Don't look at Lin Li who came all the way on the Star and encountered many attacks by sea monsters, but that doesn't mean that there can't be other ships sailing on this sea. In fact, the reason why Lin Li encountered so many attacks from Ocean Warcraft was mainly because the Star was sailing straight in one direction and constantly intruding into the territory of those Ocean Warcraft.
Those who really sail on this sea, whether it is merchant ships, warships, or pirates, all have their own fixed routes, and these routes are deliberately avoiding the territory of those sea monsters. Read with me Please keep in mind that although this does not mean that they are 100% safe when sailing on the endless sea, it can be said that the danger of being attacked by sea monsters is greatly reduced.
In particular, pirates, whether they are plundering merchant ships or evading encirclement and suppression, have no way to survive on this sea if they do not have a few secret and safe routes in their hands. Lin Li only realized at this time that it was no wonder that the attacks of the sea monsters encountered during this period of time were suddenly much less, and it turned out that the Star had accidentally broken into the pirate's route.
Those pirate ships seem to be quite well armed, although there is no way to compare with the alchemy warships of the Jindu Kingdom, but I am afraid that they are not inferior to the naval warships of mainland countries such as France. At the same time that Lin Li discovered those pirate ships, the pirates on the pirate ship opposite obviously also discovered the behemoth of the Xingchen.
With the sheer size of the Star, under normal circumstances, the pirates would immediately turn around and flee after discovering it. However, the pirate ships that Lin Li encountered did not turn around and run away, but rushed towards the Star without stopping, which was really a bit overwhelming.
Lin Li was a little strange, this pirate was able to have such a big ship, obviously the development was quite good, it shouldn't be so indistinguishable from the situation. However, no matter how strange Lin Li was, in fact the pirates rushed towards him and began to fire at the Star from a distance.
The first to shoot at the Star were several magic beams, which were supposed to be fired by the magic crystal cannon. From this, it can be seen that this group of pirates is not an ordinary stock, you must know that even the current kingdoms such as Fran and Leding are reluctant to use the magic crystal cannon easily, and that thing is simply a bottomless pit in terms of the consumption of magic crystals. However, this group of pirates didn't seem to pay attention to the consumption of magic crystals at all, and directly launched an attack with magic crystal cannons as soon as they came up.
However, the defense of the Star is not a decoration, although Lin Li did not deliberately open the strongest magic canopy, but there are still many passively activated defensive magic patterns and alchemy arrays on the Star. Just as those few magic beams were about to bombard the hull of the Xingchen, I saw several magic patterns suddenly appear on the deck of the Xingchen, and a magic giant shield immediately appeared on the side of the attack, easily blocking those magic beams.
Come and don't be rude! Lin Li was about to try the attack power of the Star, and a group of pirates came to the door, how could he miss this opportunity. He directly activated the spatial robe, and the figure flickered into the main control room, where there was a crystal ball the size of a human head, and the images around the Star were displayed on it. This crystal ball is the control center of the various attack weapons of the Star, through this crystal ball, Lin Li can hold all the weapons on the Star in his hand as long as he is alone, and freely manipulate the attack.
Lin Li put his hand on the crystal ball, adjusted the image displayed in the crystal ball slightly, and then his spiritual power seeped into it, and he chose a few naval guns facing the direction of the pirate ship. Among these naval guns, in addition to those that directly use magic power like magic crystal cannons, there are also weapons that shoot magic and giant spears, and Lin Li chose so many different weapons just to test the power of various weapons.
Under Lin Li's manipulation, a magic crystal naval cannon was the first to exert its might, and an incomparably condensed white cannon light burst out, and the sea surface swept by the cannon light seemed to be cut open. In an instant, the white cannon light came into contact with a large ship in the middle of the pirate ship, and the magic protection on the pirate ship was torn apart in an instant like paper paste, and then the exposed part of the pirate ship was completely swallowed by the cannon light.
You know, this is just one of the many naval guns on the Star, and there are also main guns and more powerful naval guns, which Lin Li has not yet used. The power of this naval cannon alone is not known how many times stronger than the main cannon of the Jindu Kingdom, and it is really hard for Lin Li to imagine what the scene would be like if the Star was to fire a salvo.
Of course, it is conceivable that the scene of the salvo of all the guns must be very spectacular, but Lin Li is not bored enough to use these naval guns to set off fireworks. After a pirate ship was wiped out with one shot, it stands to reason that those pirates should have escaped from the battlefield as soon as possible when they saw the idea of assassination, right? But what made Lin Li feel strange was that the remaining pirate ships, not only did not flee immediately, but accelerated towards the Xingchen, as if they saw that long-range weapons were not superior, so they planned to have a boarding battle.
But that's fine, Lin Li is also happy to take this opportunity to experiment with the performance and power of the Xingchen ship's guns from far to near. It's a pity that there are only a few pirate ships, which is not enough to experiment with all the naval guns like this, especially the naval guns of the Star, which are all extremely powerful, and it is impossible to give a pirate ship two more hits.
Eventually, when only one pirate ship remained, the pirates seemed to have finally become timid, and quickly turned around to escape. However, a ball of fire shot out from the Star and landed on the pirate ship, engulfing the entire ship in an instant, and even the sea began to burn.
Looking at the wreckage floating on the sea, Lin Li shook his head helplessly, although he won a naval battle, he felt a little like an adult bullying a child. Compared with the Xingchen, the pirates' warships are simply scum-like existences, which makes Lin Li so enjoyable.
However, just as Lin Li was about to leave the main control room, he suddenly discovered from the crystal ball that there was another fleet on the horizon, and the scale of this fleet was larger than that group of pirates. The warships of this fleet look similar to the alchemy battleships of the Jindu Kingdom, but the shape is much more elegant, and they are not as rough as the alchemy battleships of the Jindu Kingdom. These warships had no sails, and they were supposed to be sailing with alchemical power, and the warships were hoisted with military flags painted with elaborate emblems, which was obviously a regular naval fleet.
At this time, Lin Li also understood why the previous pirates encountered the Xingchen, but they couldn't compete with the Xingchen at all, but they still behaved so bravely and refused to retreat. It turned out that it was not at all how heroic the pirates were, but that there was such a fleet chasing them behind. Between the unknown origin of the Star and the regular naval fleet, the pirates can only choose to attack the Star side, hoping that this big guy is just a big size. Unfortunately, the pirates miscalculated, and the power of the Star was not at all something they could compete with, and in the end they ended up with no bones left.
Looking at the fleet that was getting clearer and clearer in the crystal ball, Lin Li couldn't help frowning slightly, he didn't remember that in addition to the Jindu Kingdom in the Anriel World, there was any other kingdom or force that could have such a fleet. However, judging from the style of those warships, there is a very obvious difference from the warships of the Jindu Kingdom, and the warships of this fleet are obviously more gorgeous and elegant, as if they are works of art.
Just when Lin Li felt his doubts, the fleet was displayed more and more clearly in the crystal ball, and the figures moving on the deck finally revealed their true faces. Seeing the appearance of those figures, Lin Li was immediately taken aback, the figures on those battleships were not humans, but high elves that had been extinct in the world of Anriel for thousands of years!
How could a High Elf be in such a place! Lin Li suddenly realized at this time, could it be that the world he had entered was the world of the Dark Ages? Everyone knows that more than 1,300 years ago, Gresko led the rebels to overthrow the rule of the High Elves, and the High Elves were almost wiped out, so it is obviously impossible for the High Elves navy to appear after the Dark Ages.
Just as Lin Li was thinking about the time problem of this world, the High Elf fleet had also discovered the Star, and the fleet immediately shifted from a pursuit formation to a battle formation. Then, without any inquiry, the magic crystal cannon on the fleet spewed out a series of magic cannon lights towards the star.
Sensing strong fluctuations in magical power, the Star's main defensive magic canopy shrouded the entire Star at once when the dense magic cannon light was about to hit. Then I saw that the magic canopy was bombarded by the light of the magic cannon and rippled layer by layer, as if the rain was hitting the surface of a calm lake.
The brutality of the High Elves was evident in the fact that such a fierce attack was launched without any inquiry. Of course, even if the High Elves fleet didn't attack, Lin Li had already thought of using this fleet to test the firepower of the Star, after all, the previous pirate group was too vulnerable.
Under Lin Li's control, the main cannon of the Star slowly pointed at the fleet of the High Elves, the silver-white barrel flashed dazzling in the sunlight, and the muzzle with a diameter of about ten meters quickly gathered the magic cannon light like the sun that people dare not look at directly.
Until this time, the fleet of the High Elves also seemed to see that the big guy of the Star was not easy to mess with, and the fleet's intensive attack stopped at once, and one of the battleships also played a flag, asking the people on the Star to identify themselves. It's a pity that Lin Li doesn't know anything about the flags of the sea, and he doesn't know what the High Elves are talking about, and even if he does, it's impossible to deal with them.
When the light of the main cannon of the Star reached its peak, a magical cannon light that was enough to engulf everything finally erupted towards the High Elf fleet. The power of this magic cannon light was almost not inferior to a Sanctuary-level magic, even if the source of magic power was a legendary peak magic crystal, it would turn into a pile of powder in an instant.
On the other side, the High Elf fleet had already felt the threat contained in this cannon when the main cannon of the Star was accumulating magic power, so when they wanted to negotiate with the people on the Star, they all turned on the protective power on the battleship.
