The secondary cannons on both sides of the ship each aid at their targets and fired projectiles of varying sizes, erupting like an ordinary rainstorm.
The raindrop-like shells crashed into the sea, sending the surrounding seawater soaring into the sky, forming dozens of ters high water columns.
The spotlight illuminated the area where the shells exploded, and after the water splashes fell, there were no body fragnts or blood as one might imagine floating on the surface.
No matter how the shells exploded, nothing ca up, only patches of foam.
And on the alchemical sonar, thousands of targets were displayed, not a single one had diminished. They hadn’t even paused for a second due to the intense barrage, they were still rapidly approaching.
In the blink of an eye, the distance between the two sides had shortened to less than a thousand ters.
“Damn it! How can they swim so fast, these creatures are so agile!”
Watching the thousands of red dots on the screen coming from all directions, Ernesto muttered bitterly, “Prepare the deep-sea alchemical bombs, I refuse to believe we can’t blast these damn things out of the water!”
The optimal range for deploying deep-sea alchemical bombs was 50 to 150 ters.
On both sides of the gno rchant ship, gno sailors had already prepared the launching devices. As long as the enemy entered the firing range, these bombs, each weighing as much as several people, would be launched imdiately.
No creature could remain unscathed under the explosion of such bombs.
Even if a dragon were here, relying on its flesh and blood to resist, it would still be torn apart!
The enemy was 900 ters away from the rchant ship.
At 700 ters, ail alchemical cannons stopped firing, allowing the rchant ship to stabilize.
500 ters, Ernesto stared closely at the alchemical sonar display, cold sweat trickling down his back.
300 ters, all the gnos held their breath.
200 ters, the gnos slowly gripped the launching levers.
150 ters.
“Get ready!”
When the distance between the two sides had suddenly been reduced to just over a hundred ters, Ernesto yelled furiously, “Fire!”
Just as the gnos were about to press the release lever, a song suddenly drifted in from the distance.
In the quiet night, the song traveled very far, penetrating into every corner.
Ernesto was taken aback, seeing that the gnos in charge of launching had all stopped and were inexplicably angry.
“What are you guys doing? Why aren’t you launching the bombs yet?”
But these gnos acted as if they couldn’t hear him, their eyes vacant, as if they had lost their souls.
Seeing this scene, Ernesto’s anger surged even more. He angrily grabbed one of the gnos by the collar and berated them.
“What the hell is wrong with you guys? Why aren’t you launching the bombs? Do you want to get killed?”
But soon, he noticed that the gnos had extrely vacant eyes as if they had lost their souls.
Even when lifted up, they remained unresponsive, as indifferent as puppets.
At this mont, Ernesto finally realized that sothing was amiss. Just as he was about to release the gno’s collar…
With a muffled sound, an incredulous expression appeared on his face as he slowly lowered his head.
This gno had plunged a dagger deep into his abdon, with the blade fully inserted.
Muffled-
The dagger was withdrawn and then thrust in once more.
Dozens of consecutive tis, until Ernesto was completely dead, lying in a pool of blood.
At the last mont of his life.
He finally realized the reason was the song.
“The song sounds so beautiful…”
With no one to stop them, the army swiftly moving underwater quickly reached the side of the ship and, with the help of the mutinous gnos, successfully boarded.
The gnos who were still alive on the ship saw that ferocious alien warriors had already boarded, and without exception, they all surrendered, showing no sign of resistance.
Soon, a figure boarded the ship under the respectful welco of many warriors.
As soon as Ji Chen ca up, he happened to see Ernesto lying on the deck. At this mont, the gno rchant who had been lively and vigorous just half a day ago was now lying in a pool of blood, lifeless.
There was still a trace of an incredulous expression on his face.
Perhaps he hadn’t expected to die not at the hands of the enemy’s swords but at the hands of his own people.
“My Lord, what should we do with these remaining gnos? Should we eliminate them all?”
Ji Chen looked at the large group of gnos gathered on the deck and smiled as he shook his head. “These gnos still have enough value. We need them to teach us how to operate this gno rchant ship.”
“Understood!”
Hearing this, the gnos who had been trembling finally breathed a sigh of relief. At least they wouldn’t die right now.
Ignoring this group of gnos, Ji Chen began to explore the ship.
Previously, he had only seen the exterior at the harbor but hadn’t boarded the ship.
This gno rchant ship showcased the gnos’ advanced alchemical technology. Massive gears, tal, and hinges exuded a strong industrial steampunk flavor.
The gun turrets standing on the deck made Ji Chen feel exhilarated. He was a fan of giant ships and cannons!
Bigger is better, and more is better!
The larger the caliber, the harder the punch!
This ship, brimming with various caliber alchemical cannons, was a heavily armored vessel with formidable firepower. It hit his sweet spot.
If they were to launch a direct attack through conventional ans, even if they used all the warships he currently possessed, they might not be able to inflict significant damage to this gno rchant ship.
There was a technological gap between wooden sailboats and ironclad ships that was hard to bridge.
The difference between the two was like the gap between white-tier heroes and purple-tier heroes; a purple-tier hero could easily take on dozens of white-tier heroes..
