Chapter 294 Dragon

Chapter 294 Dragon
The war has entered a fever pitch.

The sea was filled with the sounds of shouting and killing.

The Saint Lilith suffered a fierce retaliation when a third-level destroyer, the Skull, carrying a great knight, rammed into it.

The raging waves danced around the ship like countless white evil beasts, trying to drag the two pirate ships to the bottom of the sea. When the two sides collided, the ship shook violently, and the sails were rustled in the strong wind, as if they were trying to break free from the mast.

Skeleton Captain Jones led his team onto the deck of the enemy ship, his face twitching with hideous scars. He swung his heavy sword and swept across the area. Every strike brought up a blood mist, and the evil soldiers who were hit flew out and fell down. Dozens of people were killed or injured in an instant.

"I will send you bastards to hell today!"

"Who else!?"

In an instant, five figures appeared.

The Dawn Tyrannosaurus and other Silver Dao soldiers surrounded the newcomers. Wuhe, Laohei and Zhuang Ya led the evil soldiers to kill the enemy soldiers on the boat, and their actions were extremely fast.

More than 400 soldiers who boarded the ship retreated into groups of more than a dozen people under the fierce counterattack of the Saint Lilith.

"Not good."

The Skeleton Captain was a little embarrassed. The five people in front of him were not great knights, but they were definitely not on the same level as knights.

The skeleton's true form materialized, a several-meter-tall white skeleton clenched its scimitar in both hands and chopped.

But the Silver Dao soldiers cooperated very well, and the Dawn Intelligent Center maximized the efficiency of combat force allocation.

The Dawn Tyrannosaurus took the blow and flew sideways, with the knight-level construct armor on its body bursting.

Boom!
Ah Da rushed forward and kicked, hitting the real skull head.

Ah Er came to the enemy with a brutal look on his face and holding a sword. The knight's sword in his hand was fierce yet exquisite. The Dawn Intelligent Center loaded the complete sword knowledge in the database for him. Even though he did not have the blessings of an extraordinary sword master, his skills were enough to temporarily stand firm in front of the skeleton captain.

shhhhhh!
Asan gracefully circled the edge of the battlefield, with one flying knife after another cutting into the weak links of his prey's movements. The tips of the knives were stained with bright red poison, which was the favor he had worked so hard to obtain from the boss. Unfortunately, the toxicity would gradually diminish over time.

"You bugs!"

The Skeleton Captain was stabbed in the shoulder, and the poison turned his shoulder black. After just a moment's pause, Ah Er left a bloody sword mark on his chest with a long sword in his hand.

The skeleton's true form is cut again.

Ah Si put on armor and took the initiative to take responsibility.

As he was blown away, the Dawn Tyrannosaurus Rex, wearing new armor, returned and filled the vacant defensive position.

Five Taoist soldiers surrounded and killed this ordinary knight.

Half a quarter of an hour later, the Skeleton Captain was stabbed six times in total, and the poison, which had decayed by more than half, still pushed him to the brink of death.

The Dawn Tyrannosaurus was blown away again.

Ah Er pierced the prey's chest with his sword.

Ah San stabbed the prey right in the throat with two swords.

Ah Da launched a brutal charge, knocking the Skeleton Captain up with a clang. Ah Si, who had returned to fill in the position on the opposite side, also charged in a straight line, and attacked from the front and back with his companions.

boom!
"what!!"

The skeleton captain vomited up fragments of his internal organs, and his eyes almost popped out of their sockets. Ah Er rushed over and cut off his head.

"Leave the heart. The boss loves to eat it."

The five men dealt with the Skeleton Captain and turned to join the battle.

There was a bloody storm on the deck.

Lao Hei led his men to occupy the Skull, and Wuhe ordered them to be killed.

Boom!

A loud noise rose from the sea.

A violent explosion occurred on the Vanguard deputy ship not far away, and an ordinary three-color fireball detonated.

A silver-haired figure flew onto the sea surface. The Heart of the Sea pendant on his neck dimmed, his powerful vitality suffered heavy losses, and the A-grade secret treasure, the Sword of Yunquan, was covered with cracks.

Whoosh!
Jiang He returned to the Saint Lilith through the teleportation ability of his animal companion. At this moment, Zhuang Ya was raising his heavy sword and smashing the heads of enemy soldiers.

"Why didn't you kill him?" Lilith asked with interest. If it was a life-and-death battle, the Elite Knight would not be someone's opponent.

"It's a bit disgusting." Jiang He said calmly: "Two A-level recovery treasures, the Moon Elf Bloodline provides true damage, the Silver Moon True Form blesses 20% damage immunity, and the Virtue of Justice also grants 20% immunity. I don't have time to waste with him."

Lilith blinked: "What do you mean?"

"Now that we have forced the nobles' combined fleet to stop, the boarding battle will probably not stop for a while. Let's just retract the sails and use the jet propulsion device to launch a surprise attack on Caribibu Harbor." Jiang He said.

The combined fleet of nobles went out to sea to fight, and Duke Wyatt arrived in person. The Port of Caribib, which served as the base camp, was bound to be empty. After all, no matter how important a port was, it was not worth two fleets garrisoning there. Even Duke de York did not have the presence to do so.

Lilith nodded and said, "You are the captain, so you don't need to ask for my consent. But I have to remind you of another issue."

"There are four wreckages of destroyers at the moment. After the Saint Lilith consumes all of them, it can be successfully upgraded to a third-level ship. If it weren't for the serious damage, two would be enough."

"But swallowing it now will expose the characteristics of the Saint Lilith to the world. It is certain that someone will covet it."

Jiang He pondered for a while and said, "Opportunities are rare and will never come back. Go ahead and eat it."

"Understood, sir." Lilith saluted. Upgrading the Saint Lilith to a level three ship would help her recover. As for the covetousness and pressure from all parties, the captain would have to bear it.

"You've repaid me a big favor."

Jiang He did not comment.

……

On the rough sea.

The intensity of the war between the two fleets gradually increased.

The Saint Lilith passed over the four occupied third-level ships one by one. Pieces of wood, cannons, and wreckage flowed and gathered on the hull, and were quickly reorganized and lifted.

When the promotion was completed, the ship had grown several sizes larger. The hull was mainly made of black oak, as hard as iron, with a slender outline that was dozens of feet long, with smooth lines yet contained a hint of brutality.

The bow is shaped like an eagle's beak, with the sharp part covered with fine copper. There are three layers of tightly riveted gun decks on both sides of the ship, and three towering masts fluttering in the wind. The main mast is so thick that it takes several people to hug it. It gradually becomes thinner from bottom to top and is wrapped with densely packed coarse hemp ropes. The stern is forked in a swallowtail shape, which is conducive to flexible turning. It is surrounded by exquisitely carved railings, on which is carved a huge and conspicuous Ouroboros pattern.

Tier 3 destroyer - Saint Lilith.

It carries 120 artillery pieces and a full crew of 800 people.

This obvious change attracted the attention of many captains.

The Saint Lilith lowered all its sails, and the evil soldiers who went out from the portable temple replenished the configuration of 800 people. Old Black led the sailor team to throw thousands of solid oil blocks into the propulsion furnace.

The jet propulsion system is activated.

As the device roared, the Saint Lilith shot out like an arrow, and two majestic flames shot out from the stern, rapidly shattering the picture. White waves surged and rolled to both sides, and deep grooves were plowed on the sea surface wherever they passed, and the ripples instantly turned into surging waves.

In five minutes, the Saint Lilith was out of sight of both sides of the war and disappeared directly on the sea level.

clang!
The swords collided. The originally frantic Rock Count suddenly became stunned.

Duke Wyatt repelled the enemy and sneered, "You and I are fighting, but you still have the time to watch. I overestimated you in the past."

The Marquis of Rock remained silent. If the other party turned around, his expression would probably be the same as his. He had never seen drifting on the sea since he was a child. The speed of the Saint Lilith exceeded that of all ships so far.

……

On board the White Rose.

The Sword-wielding Elder stared at the direction where the Saint Lilith was going away, his thoughts churning.

When the ship disappeared, he tilted his head and asked, "Did you see anything?"

The Duke's youngest son, Browne, thought for a moment and replied, "The speed of that warship is of great strategic significance."

"What else?" the sword-wielding elder continued to ask.

"...It was upgraded from a level 4 frigate to a level 3 destroyer?" Brownie said uncertainly, "It's like it ate up the wreckage of the ship."

The Sword-wielding Elder sighed, "If it can be upgraded to level three, it may be upgraded to a level two cruiser, or even a level one battleship. I don't need to explain to you the value of a golden battleship. It is a national treasure, and there are only three of them in the entire Stuart Kingdom."

The Sword-wielding Elder paced back and forth. He was the Duke's blood uncle, with an incredibly high seniority, and he also had the strength of a top knight, so he had the power to interfere with the fleet's orders.

"Let's put it this way. Baron Rhine deserves the credit for this naval battle. He intercepted the fleet, participated in and led the sinking of four destroyers, and he and his men killed two great knights and more than 3,000 soldiers. His merits are outstanding. I will apply to the Duke for the position of vice admiral of the fleet. From now on, Baron Rhine will be the captain of the White Rose."

Brownie hesitated to speak. Although the war was not over yet, there were not many surprises in naval battles and the outcome was basically certain.

It is obvious that the elders now have their eyes on the Saint Lilith and are planning to promote and transfer Baron Rhine away, while the White Rose is the Duke's private property, and even if he becomes the captain, he will only command operations and may transfer personnel when necessary.

"This matter may require the consent of Baron Rhine himself. The Saint Lilith is his property, not a ship belonging to the Northern Fleet." Brownie said courageously. The elder has not yet taken sides, but he and Rhine are already in a relationship of lord and vassal. A monarch who cannot protect the interests of his subjects cannot be said to have prestige.

"You are very much like your father." The Sword-wielding Elder smiled warmly and kindly, "I would say this even in front of everyone."

Brownie heard his own heart beating and looked up in disbelief.

The captain's room was quiet for several minutes, with explosions, shouts and wailing all around.

After a while, Brownie said, "I will convince Baron Rhine to thank the elders for their support."

The sword-wielding elder smiled and nodded. It was just a matter of choosing sides. Even if he chose the wrong target, the heir could not kill him, the top knight. The only one who could take his life was the Duke.

……

The noise of the naval battle faded away.

The Saint Lilith sailed through the waves of the sea.

The efficiency of the jet propulsion system is so high that the power source of this giant mecha obviously takes into account the need for rapid support.

"This is simply a super speedboat, a perfect combination of powerful power and the light weight of black oak. Woohoo!" Wuhe stood on someone's shoulder and felt the speed of the boat. If it weren't for the black oak's steel-like hardness, the hull might have fallen apart by now.

Jiang He held the rudder with both hands. There was no reference object in all directions, but he remembered the route of the perspective movement when using the prophecy scroll.

Half an hour later, land appeared in front of us.

The fleet would have needed half a day to travel the distance, but the Saint Lilith shortened that distance to an alarming degree.

Caribibu Port is built on the mountain. Looking from the sea, the rolling mountains are like the natural barriers of the port, embracing the port city with a majestic posture. Four turrets that are comparable to the Yonggu cannon overlook the sea, several circles of coastal defense artillery chains are spread across the coast, and more than a dozen frigates are stationed offshore, all of which are anchored to serve as sea artillery positions.

"It will take at most half a day. We can't expect the nobles' joint fleet to not guess our intentions." Lilith judged: "The success of the strong attack is unlikely, but the enemy should not have discovered us at this moment."

Above the sea, as the distance grew, the Saint Lilith looked like an inconspicuous black dot.

Jiang He pondered, the best way to destroy Caribibu Port is to release the hellish smallpox disease, but after this trick is used, he will not be able to survive on land. Most forces cannot accept such a potential threat. A mere port is naturally not worth paying such a price.

"The Saint Lilith has entered the portable temple. Everything will be settled after I find the dragon."

"Yes, sir."

"be careful."

"Ok."

Jiang He landed on the sea surface, and a simple domain unfolded. A sphere with a radius of 300 meters covered the Saint Lilith. There was some connection between the domain and the item bag, that is, the portable temple Rock Town, and it could be used as a bridge for entry and exit.

The ship disappeared.

Jiang He turned around and dived underwater, moving forward.

The ultimate body of domineering blood is one of the key pieces of his current strength, allowing him to walk freely regardless of various terrains.

It took half a quarter of an hour for Jiang He to reach the coast underwater.

The all-seeing eye scanned the entire mountain port, taking in every secret outpost, every house, every artillery position, and all the buildings. The garrison was presented as human-shaped heat sources, and the higher the level of life, the higher the normal body surface temperature.

"More than 12000 soldiers, around 2000 apprentice knights, 45 knight-level knights, one ordinary Grand Knight, one fleet vice admiral... and one peak Grand Knight."

Even with the joint fleet going out, Caribibu Harbor still had a very powerful garrison. This was the base camp of the Wyatt family. The top knight was likely related to the Duke's family. His existence meant that the idea of ​​a strong attack was bankrupt.

Jiang He continued to move forward under the sea, occasionally raising his palm to take a sip of fresh air from the portable sanctuary. According to Wuhe's intelligence, a normal item capsule will expand to the same size as the domain after a creature is promoted to gold, and Rock Town is obviously an exception by chance. If he successfully ascends to godhood in the future, the sanctuary will evolve into the kingdom of God.

"I probably know this place better now than the port's designer."

A few hundred steps later, in the hidden reefs, Jiang He saw a huge pipe two people high, from which boiling hot sea water full of the smell of gunpowder continuously gushed out. He stepped inside, his strong body moving forward at a constant speed. If nothing unexpected happened, the end of the pipe should be a white gunpowder processing plant.

White gunpowder has the characteristics of high energy, high combustion and high explosiveness. It requires cold seawater to cool down during the processing. Due to the fine craftsmanship, the profession of gunpowder processor has been derived, which involves relatively complex processes.

Jiang He walked to the end of the pipe. Boiling sea water was pouring down from above, and in front of him was a stone wall.

"Up there is the white powder factory."

"Go straight ahead and you'll find the harbor treasure house."

Jiang He took out the Changhen Dragon Spear and gently destroyed the stone wall.

Bang!
The stone wall shattered and sea water poured in.

Jiang He's eyes suddenly opened up.

This is a natural cave hidden in the mountain. The interior of the nest is extremely spacious, and the dome seems like an independent sky. A strong smell of sulfur fills the air, and the ground is covered with thick gold coins and various rare jewels, which emit a charming glow under the dim light.

And on the huge stone platform deep in the ground, there was a dormant dragon with a huge body. Its green scales were as hard as steel and gleamed with metallic luster. Every breath was accompanied by a whistling wind with the smell of sulfur. But it seemed to be dead, with its eyes closed and its limbs and sharp claws tightly clenched the edge of the stone platform, leaving deep scratches.

A silver elite level wind dragon.

This guy is not in a very good condition at the moment. Its body is covered with inexplicable prismatic spikes, and green dragon blood is overflowing from it. It gathers along the lines on the stone platform into the blood pool below. The dragon blood in the pool is boiling, and the water and impurities are gradually peeling off, leaving only the purest essence. Due to long-term squeezing, the blood flowing out of the dragon's body has become droplets.

Seeing this, Jiang He remembered the excellent dragon blood body he had obtained before his transformation, and he instinctively desired the essence of the blood pool.

And the moment the sea water rushed in.

The wizard apprentices who were responsible for providing nutrients to the dragon turned around together, and the leading wizard had already taken action. His body temperature was no different from that of ordinary people, or even colder, but his life level was indeed that of an ordinary creature in the Silver Age.

All the wizards present were wearing robes of the Church of the Holy Blood.
