Chapter 33 The Erosion of Heaven's Will
Normally speaking, given Kassel's style, it would be impossible for him not to carry dozens or even hundreds of torpedoes.
Unfortunately, he only brought four shots, which Lu Mingfei, completely unaware of the situation, used up as if he were urinating.
Now there are only ten micro-bombs left, and a powerful weapon against the dragons that the other side reported.
Lu Mingfei frowned. He wasn't even there. Otherwise, he could have fought. If he had the Fangtian Halberd or the Qinggang Sword, he could have defeated the dragon based on its abilities so far.
Even in a land battle, it's uncertain who will win.
"Follow my previous plan: everyone head to the bow. If we are caught, immediately detonate the engines and abandon ship."
The only way for these people to survive against an enemy of this caliber is for their base to be destroyed, resulting in a crushing defeat.
This was also the military strategy that Cao Cao's forces loved to employ in the early stages.
By mobilizing all his forces, he can prevent the enemy from taking advantage of the situation and directly trigger the "defeat is inevitable" effect when his main base is attacked, thus securing a major victory and allowing him to quickly rebuild his power.
However, it is extremely dangerous. If the defense is not quick enough, it will be all over, not to mention that the family and everything else are at the base.
Although you could simply pretend these things never happened, it still causes distress.
Therefore, once their power grows, they basically stop using this method, which is comparable to gambling with the fate of the nation.
But given the current situation on the river, this is the only option we can use.
Mans really wanted to ask you how you knew that the ship's propulsion system had been modified by the equipment department into a deadly weapon, but time was already so urgent that he could only obey orders.
But in fact, Lu Mingfei knew nothing about this; he just thought that the engine of such a ship could explode based on his experience watching movies.
Chekhov's gun: if you have a powerful ship, it's either going to sink or explode.
For example, the Titanic.
The torrential rain at night turned the river surface white, and the water vapor spread into a white mist, but no one noticed this at the moment.
The ship sped ahead, while the dragon chased rapidly behind, its back emerging from the water and drawing two white lines on the surface.
Following Lu Mingfei's instructions, the transport helicopter flew ahead, lowered the ladder, and gradually evacuated the group.
Mans led all his capable operations specialists, each wielding a modified, god-tier weapon from the equipment department, and unleashed a barrage of fire at the giant dragon in the water.
Meanwhile, at the stern, the searchlights on the deck directly above the engine room were shining on what appeared to be the dragon's head, attempting to disrupt its movements.
Ye Sheng, Jiu Deya Ji, and the bronze jar were the first to board the plane, followed by others in order of age from youngest to oldest.
Even at this critical moment, everyone remained calm and orderly, and quickly boarded the ship. In the end, only the people in charge of the ship's operation, led by Mans, were left on board.
"How's the detonation device setting going?"
he yelled.
"Okay! Here's the button!"
The first mate then roared and, amidst the storm, forced Schneider to hand over the button before climbing the ladder lowered from the helicopter.
He was the second to last person; now only one person remained to board the plane.
Mans Rundstedt stood on the deck, holding a small gray bottle in one hand and a rocket launcher in the other, its penetrating power insane enough to completely pierce the warship from the side.
But he was only confident that he could strike the dragon's weak point and penetrate its body when facing this terrifying dragon.
The gray bottle is loaded into the cannonball, and there's only one chance. So it's obvious when the dragon will be killed.
The first mate climbed halfway up the gangway, only to realize with horror that the captain hadn't even reached it! This should have been when he climbed up!
"Captain! Get aboard now!!!"
Mans lit a cigarette in a very pretentious manner. His Word of Power was Dustless Land, which could clear everything within its range when activated, which just happened to allow him to light a cigarette in the storm.
"A good captain will always go down with his ship."
"Detonate."
A calm voice from the loudspeaker echoed across the warship, now empty except for one man. Mans pressed a button, took a drag of his cigarette, and then exhaled slowly.
"Yes, ma'am."
A sharp, sarcastic laugh echoed across the river, seemingly mocking the futility of their efforts.
Suddenly, the waterline that was gradually approaching the stern of the ship burst open, and a dark shadow flew up instantly, shooting out of the water like a cannonball, pointing directly at the flying black helicopter.
He wasn't unable to catch them at all! He was just toying with them! He planned to wait until they were all gathered together before delivering a single blow that would completely destroy them.
The dark shadow swept past the stern, moving at a speed so fast it seemed to be stretched into a straight line, about to—
"boom!!!!!"
At the same time, a huge explosion rang out, and the tangible shockwave struck the dragon directly at point-blank range, followed by flames and shrapnel.
The immense force tore the warship into countless fragments, like fragmentation grenades, and countless steel planks pierced the dragon like needles.
"Raise! Raise!!!!"
The helicopter frantically increased the distance, but it was still jolted by the huge shockwave, and everyone in the cabin was shaken.
Like a heavy punch to a dragon, the acceleration of leaping out of the water clashed with the shockwave of the explosion, slowing its speed, causing blood to seep from its scales, and countless planks pierced its scales, but were blocked by its muscles from penetrating deeper.
At the bow of the ship, Mans unleashed the dust-free space he had prepared in advance to the maximum extent. The enormous air pressure emanated from the inside out, and a spherical barrier appeared around him, isolating shock waves, fragments, and flames.
However, the example of ten miniature bombs detonating together with the engine should not be underestimated. His barrier contracted wildly, and he himself was directly thrown into the air by the shockwave, with all the debris slowly moving towards his body.
But this was the perfect moment. Mance set up his rocket launcher in mid-air, and in his final, desperate leap, everything slowed down. He smiled at the roaring, enormous dragon.
"Die!"
The rockets shot out from the spherical barrier, heading straight for the dragon's joints that were being licked by the explosion's flames.
To facilitate movement, the scales are not as numerous, and the target is larger than the eye, making it easier to hit.
He watched as the rocket hit the part he wanted, and the liquid inside was injected into the dragon's body.
Mans smiled with satisfaction, looking at the shrapnel that was only about a centimeter away from piercing his eye, and marveled at how his life had ended in such a dramatic way, which he found rather cool.
Just then, a mist carrying a huge iron plate flew rapidly toward him, knocking away all the fragments that were slowly crawling toward him. Then, the huge iron plate seemed to be attracted by Mans's words and stuck to the dust-free ground.
A metal plate with angular momentum caused Mans to spin rapidly, eventually landing behind him and causing him to slam onto the flat ground by the river. The isolation between the metal plate and the dust-free land saved his life as he lay there.
However, most of the bones in his body were probably broken. He spat out a mouthful of blood, which slowly flowed down the corner of his mouth.
But Mans just stared wide-eyed, listening to the whirring of the helicopter, and couldn't help but shout out in a decaying voice.
"This actually works?!"
