v2 Chapter 86： The wind stopped

The distance is gradually getting closer.

Diana and Logan are standing next to Ethan, but Laura is not on the deck. Upon realizing that a battle might occur, Laura was asked to return to the cabin.

Although Laura is not afraid of fighting, and her combat effectiveness is much stronger than ordinary people, but both Logan and Ethan treat her as an ordinary child, and hope to make her as an ordinary child as possible. Growing up, instead of participating in various battles early and non-stop.

Since Ethan wants to control the ship, he can't hold the telescope all the time. He will ask Diana next to him.

Diana's eyesight is far superior to ordinary people. Even without any equipment, he can easily see the situation in the distance. With her standing next to her, Ethan can easily grasp the dynamics of the opposite person.

"How's it going?"

"The other party still hasn't changed course, I can already see the situation on their deck."

Diana could clearly see that there were several people standing on the front of the opponent’s deck. One of them was holding a telescope and staring at her side, and then turned her head back and commanded her crew from time to time. This person should be the ship on the opposite side. captain.

"What is the performance of the other party?"

"It looks like... they are ready to attack us."

Diana knows that the world is not so peaceful. It is not uncommon for adventurers to start a fight directly after encountering Cleo with kindness like Cleo, and it is not uncommon for them to attack directly without a dialogue at all.

It’s just that they were all heard from Ethan, and she hadn’t really seen it. At this time, she saw it once, but she still didn’t understand this behavior in her heart: Why did she suddenly attack strangers?

Before she could think of any clues, she saw two dazzling red lights flashing from the other's two bow guns, and then the two energy shells flew straight to the Aurora.

"The opponent opened fire!"

The distance between the two sides is still far, but although the magic stone cannon looks more like a backward smoothbore gun, it actually has a much longer range.

Both sides have entered each other’s sight. Even if Ethan did not use the telescope at this time, he could see the other side firing. He had already been activated by the Book of Inheritance in the book cover around his waist. The translucent white magic shield. It was cast out, and the entire ship was enveloped in it.

The energy shells fired by the Magic Stone Cannon were very fast. Just as Ethan unfolded the energy shield, one energy group flew from a long distance, and the other one almost flew past the shield.

"Even the magic stone cannon, which is far more accurate than artillery, is not so accurate in the ocean."

Warship gun battles cannot guarantee accuracy. There are too many factors affecting the hits on the sea. The undulating waves alone are enough to make the gunner feel headache.

It’s not just the side that fired the gun, but the ship on the opposite side of the target is also undulating on the waves of the sea. You feel that the other party's ship has not changed in the distance, but when your shell flies past, it may seem that the slightest error will become a huge gap after a long flight.

It was like that shot flying past while wiping the shield. In most naval battles, more artillery is used to shoot more artillery shells in a salvo to cover shooting, and to increase the probability of hitting with a sufficient number.

This point, even in the era of more advanced radar positioning and fire control systems, there has been no fundamental change. It was not until the advent of missiles that precise attacks appeared in naval battles.

But now Ethan doesn’t have missiles in his hand, nor does the opponent. If he has this hit rate, he doesn’t need to worry. The opponent can only hit his shield once in a while, so he can calmly observe and judge the opponent’s. Fire intensity.

The opponent is not a fool, and it is impossible to insist on shelling at such a long distance. After some test shots, the opponent has been approaching the Aurora Aurora while adjusting its course, striving to gain the upper hand at the same time. Aim at the Goddess of Dawn.

"The opponent has taken the dominant position and is ready to shoot us."

Logan has served in the army and has been on the battlefield. Even if he is not a navy, he has enough knowledge of this common sense. He knows the situation when he sees the actions of the opponent, and he calmly told Ethan.

"Aren't you worried?"

"Why should I worry?"

Logan, "Do you think I'm an idiot?" 'Expression, he has a clearer understanding of the strength of Ethan and Diana. The group of idiots on the opposite side wanted to attack the ship, and he didn’t know how bad it was. He was completely foreseeable. What will happen next will be a very sad story for the captain of that ship.

As the opponent slowly completed the maneuver and aimed all of the artillery on one side of the Aurora, the warship that did not know its origin finally showed its full strength. The scene of a salvo of three artillery decks was very spectacular. The energy cannonball smashed over the head and face was also very spectacular.

Although the hit rate of this volley is still touching, Ethan’s protective cover is no longer a pure decoration. Occasionally, one or two shots hit the protective cover, making deafening explosions, and setting off bursts on the protective cover. At the same time as the ripples, the strong impact more or less affected the Aurora.

"The power of each energy cannonball is much stronger than that encountered in the calm sea."

At the beginning, he used the magic shield to resist the attack of the magic cannon in Parallel Sea. At that time, he didn't feel any trouble, not even shaking.

This time the power of the opponent's energy cannonball is more than one grade stronger than the one encountered that time.

"It seems that the opponent not only uses stronger artillery, but also uses better quality magic stones."

It is not clear how the structure of the magic stone cannon itself strengthens Ethan, but the opponent must have used a better quality magic stone as the shell. There is no doubt about this.

Because of how the structure of the cannon is improved, the power of this magic stone cannon depends on the magic stone used as a cannonball. There is no way to use the magic stone with a little energy to exert ten points of power.

"The other party seems to be a little flustered."

Because the distance was getting closer again, Diana could already see the expression on the face of the other crew member. The person who might be the captain still used the binoculars to look at her side, but compared to the previous face, there was more surprise and discomfort. I thought that the Ethan ship had an energy shield, and I didn't expect that the shield was so strong that my own cannon couldn't blast the defense shield at all.

Is this the case? You need to catch this person in front of you and ask before you know that Ethan is driving the Aurora and began to fight back.

Compared to the opponent’s three-layer artillery deck, with dozens of cannons fired, Ethan’s side has only a few cannons. Perhaps these cannons are not inferior to the other in power, but the huge gap in the number of shells is still very obvious. .

"Ethan, the other party poked his mouth in disdain when he saw you fired."

"……"

"Ethan, the Eternal is here."

Hearing Logan's reminder, Ethan turned his head and glanced.

When entering the state of naval battle, the direction of the Aurora was deflected. At this time, the Eternal was behind the Aurora. When Ethan turned her head, she saw Eternal rushing towards the unknown warship from the other side. At the same time, a jamming attack was launched with the bow gun.

"It seems that Cleo is standing firmly on our side again."

Ethan smiled and nodded. He knew that Eternity hadn't completely moved away. He had guessed whether Cleo would make a move before. Eternity’s actions proved that Ethan’s previous views were correct, and Cleo was indeed a suitable one. Friends of people.

"He made a very correct choice."

Just for Cleo’s help, Ethan couldn’t let this ‘friend’ go in vain.

Under his control, the Goddess of Aurora wandered flexibly on the surface of the sea, constantly adjusting the distance to the ship, so that the other party could not aim and lock well so even though It has the advantage of dozens of cannons, and each salvo is spectacular, but after such a long time, few shots actually fell on the protective cover.

In addition to allowing Ethan to understand the firepower of this sea area more clearly, it did not cause any damage to the Aurora at all.

, on the contrary, it was the ship on the opposite side. After the Eternal suddenly joined the battle group, it seemed a little flustered, and was hit by magic stone shells one after another while being flanked by both sides.

The strengthened metal-skinned hull could not withstand the continuous bombardment of the magic stone cannons. In just a few moments, there were many scars on the ship, and even the deck artillery was wiped out by the Eternal and the Aurora respectively.

"This guy...is not very resistant."

I saw that the metal-skinned hull still had limited defensive effects under the attack of the magic stone cannon. Although it was much stronger than the wooden hull that would be shattered by a single shot, it was far from reaching Ethan's requirements.

"It is the right choice to directly choose a battleship with an all-metal structure. This kind of skinned ship defense does not increase much, but reduces flexibility and speed."

It is precisely because of the lack of speed and flexibility that the opponent was surrounded by Eternity and Aurora when the firepower was superior, and no matter how the shells were poured, the Aurora could not be truly injured. This kind of one-sidedness. The situation of the battle gave the opponent a retreat and began to leave the battlefield.

"Fight as you want, run as you want? Where is such a good thing?"

Just when Ethan was driving the Aurora and began to pursue it, he found that the Aurora was getting slower and slower, and finally stopped slowly.

glanced at the Eternal not far away, and also slowly stopped on the surface of the sea. Looking up at the sails, Ethan knew why his boat was unable to move.

"The wind stopped?"
