What do you do when you encounter an unstoppable supership during a sea battle?
Ironclad ships meeting sailing ships, composite small clamps encountering small assault boats, is there really no chance of winning?
Uh, if both sides have a normal tech tree, it seems there’s no chance... but now, both sides are at the "random shooting" level.
"... First, collide, then force our way onboard for close combat."
It’s not just Lu Ping’an who has this determination.
When he stepped onto the giant turtle’s back, the battle was already intense and exciting.
But even the weakest fighters on it were professionals of third-tier or higher...the weak, even if they wanted to fight desperately, still found the battlefield below more suitable.
The killing was efficient, with ordinary soldiers of the Aus people in the fortress standing no chance against high-end Eastern Country professionals.
And the high-end professionals of both sides... Aus people’s numbers are significantly fewer!
Another spark exploded before their eyes.
Eastern Country professionals have been killing more and more fiercely, the only reason being that their weaker companions and relatives had already died in the previous brutal hunts.
Avengers don’t need to think about why they fight, only about the efficiency of killing.
Frenzied destroyers didn’t bother to fight high-end professionals, merely choosing to kill ordinary soldiers carrying various vortex stone weapons... in fact, this strategy itself wasn’t wrong. With the right distance and angle, these weapons could threaten third-tier professionals as well.
But to chase and kill ordinary soldiers while being pursued by high-level professionals is not rational, it looks more like a personal grudge.
"You kill my people, so I’ll kill yours. How foolish...but it feels refreshing."
With a smile, Lu Ping’an lit two "fireworks."
But like other boarding fighters, he also attracted the attention of high-end professionals.
The muscular man carrying a handheld heavy cannon seemed quite difficult to deal with.
He moved quickly, grinning fiercely.
"Huh, someone to play with..."\
Lu Ping’an was actually interested in this. It seemed like a Decree-level battle profession, maybe it could give him a challenge.
Come to think of it, he had never completely relied on himself to kill a Decree-level professional before...now, it seemed like the right time to try.
But the one who collided with the muscular man was one of the Saphire people.
"Go do your thing."
Li Zhenhuan, who had come as a bodyguard, turned around and still had time to instruct Lu Ping’an.
The young man sighed helplessly, knowing that these people had been watching him all along.
Lu Ping’an looked ahead... Since he was already up here, he wouldn’t be satisfied with a pointless attack.
An injury of the same level, if it hits the hand, it’s a flesh wound, if it hits a vital spot, it’s fatal.
Since he only had two shots, naturally, he couldn’t just use them recklessly.
Although he didn’t know where the weak point of this thing was...
"Anyway, aiming for the head is never wrong. Right, Meow?"
The next moment, he was lifted into the air.
"Clench your teeth, Meow, or you’ll bite your tongue, Meow!"
Meow activated two Silver-tier items simultaneously, moving as fast as lightning, swiftly dashing through crowds of people.
Terrifying speed required immense power, perhaps a Silver-tier physique, which allowed the seemingly weak Meow to easily carry Lu Ping’an while accelerating wildly.
Sometimes she turned into a spirit body, sometimes she sped up, even jumping directly into the air at times.
Her body showed clear signs of Beastification and Frenzy but still maintained rationality and sharp assault speed.
In this life-or-death battlefield, there was no holding back for Lu Ping’an. He used his own ability to "summon companions at any time."
Meow grabbed his collar, like a wild cat running with a roasted fish, her rapid strikes attracting targeted retaliation.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
Gunshots and blade strikes merged together, but targets hit turned into bubble shadows and disappeared without a trace.
"Meow! Too slow!"
Amidst the high-altitude Meow’s dive, there were catlike roars and wildly swirling blade lights.
In an instant, Meow stepped past this line of defense and landed behind the dismembered soldiers.
Only then did those soldiers fall to the ground in confusion, turning into chunks of meat.
"Meow! I’ve become stronger, Meow!"
Her outstretched hands caught Lu Ping’an as he fell.
Phantom, Doppelganger, Acceleration, Feathering Transformation, Spider Walk, Meow at this moment had the highest ground mobility on the battlefield.
But, her direct breakthrough approach also naturally attracted more attention.
This time the explosion came from the sky.
A team of Sky Knights focused on the troublemaker disrupting the battlefield... Although they didn’t know why she was so madly breaking through the battlefield alone, intercepting the enemy’s actions wasn’t wrong.
They couldn’t catch up to the ground-moving ghostly female Beastmen on the ground, but a descending team from the sky surrounded her from front, back, left, and right, and the parachuting Sky Knights were anything but ordinary.
"Throw me out."
Meanwhile, Lu Ping’an, who had been acting as their "greeting," pushed his glasses up and issued a command.
"Go, Meow, it’s your turn, Ping’an Beast Meow!"
Not knowing where it learned the bad habits, the cat suddenly exerted its power, a face full of joy as it threw Lu Ping’an... it was difficult to say if there wasn’t some personal grudge behind the tremendous force and frightening acceleration.
Throwing the javelin was a basic professional skill of Meow’s Sheer Cliff-series battle profession, and under the blessing of this at least Lv9 Career Ability, Lu Ping’an was instantly thrown into the sky.
And that captain, wielding his weapon, greeted Lu Ping’an.
𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
"...Using your companion as a shield?"
He swung his long sword, intending to split the unfortunate person thrown into the air in two, and then, along with his companion, surround and kill the fast-moving female Beastman.
"That’s right." But the one who answered was Lu Ping’an, who had just closed his book.
"That’s the correct way to use a teammate."
He tilted his head and faced the Sky Knights’ captain wielding the Taboo weapon.
"Hua Xueyi."
The golden-winged Angel suddenly flew out, and the dazzling gold light directly pierced the vital points of two Sky Knights. The feathered sky made use of the full-sky flying feathers and feathered arrows for the first round of a surprise attack.
When the golden blade and the long sword collided, Lu Ping’an slid down with the inertia.
But at this time, the Sky Knights were embarrassed by the feathered arrows, and the strongest cavalry captain was entangled by Hua Xueyi herself; no one could take care of Lu Ping’an.
If you only look at strength, the Captain should be stronger than Hua Xueyi, and his weapon is more powerful... But when Hua Xueyi stood on the constantly swaying Sky Knight, the golden wings became a balance tool, and the home court advantage was on the side of the young woman.
A Sky Knight standing on his mount is just a somewhat bewildered infantryman. He was probably the first to be stepped into his territory by someone, and he tried to stand up and attack Hua Xueyi but almost slipped down directly.
Hua Xueyi became a dancer in the sky, sometimes attacking swiftly, sometimes gliding away from the Beast... As long as she retreated one step and floated up, she would avoid the captain’s killing attack.
The comparatively large Sky Knight combinations, facing this single high-mobility airborne fighter, lost their advantage in mobility and could only fight passively.
At this time, Lu Ping’an, who had landed, had just been caught by Meow.
"Too slow."
"Meow, you should really fall to the ground."
Although complaining, the Cat didn’t stop at all.
She used magic potions, taboo items, and professional abilities to burst into the extreme speed and reflex action in a limited amount of time.
However, under the high-speed "carry" of Meow, Lu Ping’an approached the target of this trip.
But at this time, another trouble came knocking at the door.
It was a warrior wearing a "mecha." Lu Ping’an saw traces of Vortex Stone modification on it... He almost stopped, as it was a valuable "figure."
"It’s Decree-level, Meow."
Meow shook her arm, the tiger’s mouth had already cracked, and this intensity of rolling was obvious.
Her physical attributes, boosted by a full set of BUFFs, were also in the team’s first echelon. To easily inflict such an injury upon touching, the opponent was likely an Upper Silver brute.
Even with the so-called mecha’s blessing, this opponent looked troublesome, as if there were still components to speed up the action, which wasn’t something a tired Meow could get rid of.
Facing such an opponent was a gamble, so could they only fight....
"...I’ll do it."
Who spoke was a low female voice.
Xia Qin, with a long sword in her right hand and a short blade in her left, emerged from the phantom.
When the metallic heavy-boxing and the blade collided, a violent shock wave erupted, and Meow was already back on the road.
Without looking back at the clanging, Lu Ping’an knew that Xia Qin might not win, but she was also unlikely to lose.
Keep in mind that with the help of a full set of Abnormal Ability, she had already become the hardest hitter in the team... She could now blatantly ignore the pure physical damage, with no premium forbidden weapons to supplement hard-cutting.
Over the next two minutes, two more waves of interceptors arrived... but their strength did not match those before, at least their speed was clearly not enough.
Those who couldn’t keep up with Meow were only left with the single result of being left behind.
Finally, the giant beast’s skull was right in front of their eyes.
At that moment, Meow revealed her fatigue... she had fully burst through most of the battlefield. Her performance had already amazed Lu Ping’an.
"You did a good job, I’ll give you a pay raise when we get back... Zhi Xi."
As Lu Ping’an called out the most lethal "weapon," he quickly retreated, but he felt a bit regretful that he didn’t even have a chance to make a move.
When the metallic human-shaped... arm appeared, a violent storm swept away everything around it in an instant.
The silvery-white radiance lit up the entire battlefield, and even the horizon, as the long-charging "cannon" erupted with full firepower at its debut.
The violent explosion shook the earth. When the mushroom cloud bloomed over the giant beast’s skull, everyone paused for a moment.
Fireworks and flames not only illuminated the entire battlefield but even lit up the horizon.
The people of the Eastern Country cheered and jumped with joy, but the Aus people fell into inexplicable fear and unease.
But in the next moment, when the dark clouds dispersed and the scene appeared, the emotions of the observers reversed instantly.
"My goodness, what kind of outrageous monster is this..."
