Chapter 66: The Battle of the Sky Sea that has been recorded in history
"Mr. Ed." Fang Yu looked at Mei who was standing outside the door, breathing white breath, and watching Mei who was holding her hands in front of her chest, looking at her with a little surprise. "Miss Mei, is there anything wrong?" The faint white mist quickly dissipated the wind on the deck again. Mei Yi blinked her moist eyes and was about to nod. But at this time, Fang Yu heard Jita's voice coming from the sound transmission tube:
"Ai, Brother Ed, have some discoveries."
Fang Yuchen used his eyes to signal the Knight Miss to wait for a while, turned his head and asked, "What's wrong, Jita?"
"There is an unknown number of wind element reactions in front of you, one directly in front, one on both sides... Their spacing... Their spacing seems very consistent, no, it doesn't look like a cloud sea creature..."
Fang Yu was stunned for a moment: "How far is this place from the exercise area?"
“Not less than thirty kilometers.”
"These people are really not giving up," Fang Rong thought to himself. If it wasn't a cloud sea creature, it could only be a sailboat. The airspace of Kailan's has entered the front, and the other party did not plan an ambush here as he expected. But the encirclement of just 30 kilometers is no more thick than a piece of paper on the sky sea. Can anyone really defend against anyone?
"I know, Jita," Fang Yu replied: "We can move forward as usual, and there is no need to change the route."
"Don't you need to change the route?" The naturalist's voice was a little surprised.
"No need, tell Luo Hao, I will come to the deck later."
"OK."
Fang Yu turned around and looked at Mei and said, "Miss Mei, Kelano is right in front. We will send you down later. The matter here has nothing to do with you." He stopped, "By the way, did you have anything to do just now?"
May nodded slightly: "I don't have to get off the boat for the time being, Mr. Ed."
"What?"
"The Knights just sent a notice saying that the target will no longer go to Kelano, and they may have left Nognes. The leader said that he had lost the information of the target for the time being and asked me to wait here to reconcile with others, but there is still one month between now. I think I can investigate the affairs of the dark believers with you." May said a little happy, looking at Fang Yu with expectation.
Fang Yu was stunned for a moment, and understood what was going on. He couldn't help laughing and crying for a moment. However, being watched by a cute knight lady with a blink of an expectant look, he couldn't say anything even if he wanted to refuse. He nodded. "If Miss Maye was happy, she would stay on the boat as long as she wanted, and she could afford to raise one person on the boat." He said half-jokingly.
But Maye was very serious, "I will pay for living expenses, Mr. Ed."
Fang Yu: "This... is actually not necessary..."
"It is very necessary. Self-reliance is the minimum ethics of the believers of Oli, Mr. Ed."
"That, okay."
Since it involves the knight's precepts, Fang Yu is not easy to refute. The ancient knight is a profession that requires strict adherence to ancient rules, otherwise he may even lose his profession ability.
"There are those people," May said again, "It's the people of Flor, right?" She stayed on the boat for so many days, and naturally she had already heard about the grudge between the Seven Seas Brigade and the people of Flor. Fang Yu told her about the gray list, but she didn't say much about the wanted order.
Of course, Miss Cavaliers didn't ask, or even thought about that direction. She received a temporary task from Guta to Kaurin Ishurien, and was not the candidate of the third division. She didn't know the details of Parker's wanted order in the local area, and she was not sure about the cause and effect.
"Not all," Fang Yu shook his head and said the truth: "The people of Flores are actually only part of it. Seriously speaking, their influence in Nognes is not that great, and more people come for the gray list."
"But the people of Flores slander you," said Mayi, but his voice was strong, "I have heard in Sangshak that they have always been badly praised, and in my own observation, Mr. Ed could never be a pirate. These lies are bound to receive the punishment they deserve. Even if they are irrelevant people, blindly following their own blindly regardless of right or wrong, I will stand by and fight side by side."
Fang Rong looked at her a little surprised: "The Flores slander us? Who told you this, Miss May?"
"I saw it myself," May replied seriously: "Oli's teachings tell us that we must be good at discovering facts and truths with our own eyes, rather than blindly following rumors. In the face of light, darkness will be gone."
Well, although this logic is a bit strange, at least the conclusion is correct. And this conclusion is probably not thought of by Miss Knight himself, but was instilled in the sky blue subtly. The little girl ran towards Mey every few days, so how could Fang Zhun not know what it was for?
But in a sense, this can probably be regarded as a kind-hearted lie. He shook his head gently: "Although I am very grateful, I don't need you to take action, Miss May."
May sighed softly and looked at him with a little curiousness: "Mr. Ed, have you figured out how to deal with those people?"
"Come with me, Miss May, I'll show you how the Qihai Traveler fights."
...
"Miss Tata, please take over the heart of the fairy."
"Mr. Knight, it's taken over."
"Miss Tata, open the side arch door."
"Opened."
A ray of light emerged in the darkness, and the side cabin doors on both sides of the air combat deck were slowly opening in the creaking sound. A ray of light projected from outside fell into the eyes of Miss Knight, making her blink gently.
As the gears rotated, the console rose from the ground. Fang Zhu walked forward and placed his hand on the crystal. Luo Hao and others walked out of the cabin in front of them, watching the scene.
A flash of light, a lancer projected on the air combat deck. The jet air flow blew the green wind element particles, slowly pushing it forward, pushing it away from the air combat deck, and adjusting its posture and flying into the sea of clouds. There seemed to be a faint, fleeting silver net there—
Under the precise control of Miss Tata's mental power, the component gradually escaped from the inertia of the sailboat. It paused slightly, then suddenly drew an arc and accelerated to fly forward.
Next was the second, the third, the fourth and fifth. One after another they left the Qihai Traveler, one after another followed the front assembly, and formed a flight formation. Fang Zhu looked up at that direction, only saw a tiny black dot flying into the clouds and gradually disappeared.
He opened his pocket watch—
At 7:30, the Qihai Traveler released the first attack wave.
This will be the fairy dragon knight, who is truly the first time in Aitalia to be involved in actual combat, and at this moment no one can guess what this first time will bring.
But those who witnessed this scene at least understand that the history of magic technology may always remember this moment.
The dreams and efforts of our predecessors reflect reality at this moment.
...
The swordsman held the notice that was rustling in the strong wind and opened the door and walked onto the deck. "Da L, the third notice from the military has been released. The exercise area has been blocked. From here, the airspace thirty kilometers north and 300 kilometers east are all martial law."
On the deck, everyone from Flor's descendants were looking up and looking in this direction. Lair took the notice from the other party, frowned and looked, and then folded it silently into his arms. He raised his head to look at the towering cloud wall in the distance. The military's exercise came at a certain time - but it was not the reason they gave up.
They had spent half a month wandering around here. He didn't care about the casualties and losses of other guilds. The battle in the empty gorge might have scared some people, but for them, if they couldn't catch each other, their half-month effort would be wasted.
In any case, they had to stop the boat from this place.
"Thirty kilometers," Lair calculated silently in his mind, "In order to seek a glimmer of life, the other party will almost certainly break into the military's exercise area..." The military's exercise area is a rectangle with a long side of 1,300 kilometers, but the short side is only 300 kilometers. As long as the opponent cuts into the southwest corner of the short side and passes through the exercise area in an oblique tangent, there is still a chance. The military's fleet cannot be densely spread in this exercise area. The other party may not be able to hit the military's fleet at all, but do they dare to take this risk and chase the exercise area together?
Lair certainly understood that the answer was no.
So they have to cut off the other party before they enter the exercise area.
"Make the contact between the ships closer," Lair said: "At present, there are 33 sailboats densely spread on this line. As long as they take this route, they will definitely hit the head. Thirty kilometers, it will take at least half a day to cross this line. As long as someone finds them, this time is enough for us to get closer to form an encirclement."
"What about the wind knights?"
"The Wind Knights also need to disperse. They can go forward a little, so that we can have enough time to warn us." Lair replied.
The Wind Knight is a two-legged flying dragon knight. This is not a profession variant. It is just that some callers who have mastered the two-legged flying dragon knight can be competent. A slightly larger sailboat has large corrals left to raise these medium-sized flying beasts, but the number is generally not too large. It is the limit to having two or three heads for a boat.
Wind Knights have no professional requirements, and most of them exist as reconnaissance units on the battlefield above the sea. However, for higher-end guilds, they generally choose the Gun Knight or Element to be the reserve candidates for Wind Knights, so that their Wind Knights also have certain combat abilities.
"Notify other guilds," Lair looked at the cloud wall in the distance and said, "Let them disperse the Wind Knights too, don't be afraid of losses, tell them that if they catch those people, the bounty and points will belong to them, and we only need people."
"We only want people?" The swordsman was slightly stunned.
"This is the order given by the superiors," Lair glanced at the other party, "Don't worry, we will only receive more rewards than those things when we caught people."
"These people above?"
"It has nothing to do with us, don't ask what shouldn't be asked," Lair replied lightly: "Just do your own thing."
The swordsman was stunned and nodded quickly.
But it was at this moment that a sailor rolled and crawled up from the deck below. "Mr. Lair, the news he had just received, the Onoi, the Torch and the Seagull discovered the target at the same time. As we expected, the other party came from Mount Piriyed."
Lair immediately dropped the swordsman and turned around and asked, "The other party's position and course?"
"In the southeast of us," the sailor said immediately, "the other party was heading for the Onoi people, and the course did not change. We were not sure if they had discovered us, but the Torch and the Seagull had already leaned over."
Lair immediately turned around and said to the swordsman: "The Onoi people are the ship of the Sea Breeze Guild, the Torch is the Orca Guild, and the Seagull is the ship of the Cast Iron Spear Guild. Go and contact these three guilds immediately, repeat my previous words with them, and tell them we will arrive soon."
The swordsman nodded immediately, turned around and left.
"Follow me." Lair said to the sailor, then immediately turned around and walked towards the chart room. When he arrived, there was already a busy scene, with sailors wearing different colors coming in and out, and from time to time, people used rulers and compass to mark the spreading sailing map, or nailed a pin.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! The thirty-three pins represent the location of the thirty-three sailboats above this airspace. In their north, a striking dividing line was drawn with red ink brushes. Behind that is, the exercise area designated by the military.
Lair subconsciously looked at the star orbital in the center of the room, and a faint beam of light was projecting from the crystal below the star orbital, projecting three flashing light spots into the airspace above the star orbital.
And the three light spots are located by the wind element detector, the locations of the three sailboats, the Onoi, Torch and the Seagull.
A middle-aged man in a captain's coat was biting his pipe and watching the scene. He turned around and saw Lair walking in, and then said, "You are here just in time, the target has appeared. As long as the Onoi people, the Torch and the Seagull are not too stupid, they will never be able to escape."
“What’s the point now?”
"At present, the Onoi, Torch and Seagull have been dealing well. I heard that the opponent is just a small boat. The Torch and Seagull are both larger than it, and the firepower is much stronger than it. The Onoii is similar to our ship, and that small boat will not have a chance."
The captain said, picking up a pin and inserting it onto the chart.
“How far is we from there.”
The captain looked at the pocket watch: "Half an hour."
"Sir Captain, I'll leave it to you."
"Don't worry," replied the indigenous captain: "I have been in this industry for more than twenty years, and this little thing is nothing."
But just as the two talked, one of the three light spots on the star orbit suddenly flashed. After the largest light spot flashed about two or three times, it suddenly disappeared, disappearing without a trace, as if it had never existed in that place.
The two were stunned, thinking that something was wrong with the projection crystal of the Star Orbital. The captain reacted very quickly and walked up with a quick step, pressing the crystal with his hand. But he seemed to have debugged several times, and the light spots projected on the crystal were still stubbornly left with only two.
Lair's brows gradually frowned and suddenly asked, "Which ship is the disappearing light spot?"
"It's the Onoyi people."
The captain replied subconsciously, but after the answer was finished, he seemed to suddenly realize the problem - in the news he had obtained before, the sailboat was heading towards the Onoi. His face changed, and he suddenly stood up and shouted in the direction of the sound transmission cylinder:
"Contact the Onoi People account and ask what happened there?"
A murmur of unknown significance came back from the sound transmission tube, but after a while, a voice sounded: "Captain Odmiller, we can't contact the Onoi Man... No, we should say that we can't find the shadow of the Onoi Man at all. It was like... it disappeared from the wind element detector..."
"We are not sure if there is something wrong with the wind element detector. The captain's magician and craftsman are in an emergency investigation."
"No need to check—" Lair said decisively: "Where is the nearest wind knight? Let them go over and take a look immediately."
But he didn't finish his words.
Another extremely anxious voice suddenly came from the sound transmission tube:
"The Falcons call the Torch, the Falcons call the Torch, or any ship that can hear us can-"
"We're in trouble, repeat it again, we're in trouble..."
"We are the Wind Knights on the Torch, we are attacked...they, they are..."
The voice was filled with panic and nervousness, so that it seemed a bit intermittent. The sudden communication shocked everyone, so that the voice transmitter was silent for a while. After a while, Lair shouted: "Quickly ask them what happened!"
"Okay, captain, we'll do it right away..." There was a sound of war and chaos coming from the sound transmission tube, as if it was calling, but there was also the sound of something falling to the ground.
But suddenly, a terrified scream interrupted everyone's movements:
"...they are here...they are constructs! So many, they are in a lot of numbers, one, two...three, at least three formations..."
"They swooped down from the clouds, spread out soon, spread out soon!"
Next was a harsh sound.
It was like a metal or something, a sound that broke and then all sounds returned to silence, leaving only the rustling etheric background noise.
Lair heard the source of the sound - it was the sound of the communication crystal cracking.
He was silent for a while before he spoke calmly:
"Fifteen minutes later, contact the person on the Onoy People."
“Ask them…”
"what happened."
Lair turned around: "Sir Captain, please get the ship closer in that direction immediately."
The indigenous captain seemed to be immersed in the previous shock and did not react. Although he was an old sailor, he had never experienced such a thing before. Not to mention such things, he actually never encountered a real naval battle - except for a few experiences of fighting with the thief.
He was stunned for a while before he nodded quickly.
