Chapter 169 Mine
Above the ocean east of the Disaster Clan, Soros, Salman and Set used magic to hover here.
"This is the route that Lady Fate predicted the fleets of the Holy Flame Empire would have to take."
Hearing this, Soros looked into the distance and narrowed his eyes slightly. Even he was not very confident about this war. After all, it was different from his original polluted world. The enemy basically attacked anyone they saw. It was much easier to hold the position than the current situation.
Salman had previously privately met with Soros and explained that the only way to win the war was to delay it until Ronnie returned. Although many people would sacrifice themselves in the meantime, there was no other way.
Even though Soros has seen life and death and does not want to see war again, he has no choice but to agree to Salman's tactics.
Just as Soros and Salman were each thinking about the war, Set leaped out of the sea.
When he saw Soros and Salman, he also shook off the sea water on his body.
"It's done. Even if the Sun Church is riding on a steel warship, they will definitely be in trouble in front of the mines I set."
Looking at Seth's confident look, Soros smiled and nodded to encourage him.
In these twenty years, Set has grown a lot, not only from a young dragon to a young dragon, but also learned tech-alchemy. Well, to be precise, Set only learned the explosives in tech-alchemy. He is also very talented in this area and has developed this kind of bomb. One of the bombs has replaced the black crystal that shined in the previous war. Under the premise of the same cost, the power has more than tripled.
Now, knowing that the war is about to start again, Seth worked overtime to develop two new types of bombs. One is a mine that can float in the water. Since it is made of materials that are compatible with the water element and is engraved with hidden runes, it is basically impossible to detect it unless you are a strong person above level seven with all-weather perception turned on.
Soros and his men asked Lady Fate to use her ability to predict the enemy's route, and then set a trap in the sea far away from the Disaster Clan.
Although these mines cannot destroy the enemy, they can still cause considerable trouble to the enemy and buy more time for the Disaster Clan.
As for the other type of bomb that Set is researching, it is an induction bomb similar to a landmine. When it is ambushed in the enemy's path, it can also reduce a lot of pressure on the warriors of the Disaster Clan to fight.
A few days later, Soros and a group of high-ranking members of the Disaster Clan sat in a conference room, using remote surveillance magic to watch the sea where the traps were set.
The fleet of the Holy Flame Empire was still sailing at full speed and had not yet realized the approaching danger.
Just as the frontmost ship sailed through a certain area, Set, who had been watching this side from afar in the Disaster Clan, curled his lips and rubbed his hands. He couldn't wait to see the enemy fleet being blown to pieces by his own mines.
Seth is very confident in the mines he designed. He relies on energy storage crystals to store highly compressed lightning for explosive damage, which is extremely powerful in an ocean environment full of water.
As expected, at the moment of the mine explosion, countless dazzling compressed thunders instantly enveloped the target ship, and the sea also splashed dozens of meters of waves due to the explosion.
However, this is not the end. After the explosion, Thunder was guided to continue attacking the ship.
"Success! You are worthy of being me!" Seth jumped up excitedly.
Soros and the others ignored the agitated Set and stared at the display screen without blinking.
After the aftermath dissipated, everyone was surprised that an explosion of this magnitude did not harm the enemy ship at all. All the damage caused by the explosion was blocked by the shield that instantly lit up on the surface of the enemy ship. Judging from the solidity of the shield, it would be useless even if it exploded a hundred times.
This scene made Seth very unhappy, but something even more unpleasant happened soon after.
On the enemy side, after the torpedo exploded, Joseph came to the front ship, turned on his senses and looked at the water surface under his feet. He found that the ship was going too fast and had entered the dense area where the bombs just now were triggered. He also sensed far away and found that even if he turned around and took a detour, he could not do it.
Seeing this, Joseph frowned, waved his hand to condense a golden spear, and then suddenly burst out with magic power and threw it into the sea.
boom! ! !
An explosion comparable to that of a nuclear bomb sounded, and a red sun more than ten meters in size stood in the sea. A layer of the sea was eliminated by the small sun created by Joseph, and the mines in the sea area several kilometers in front were also directly cleared away.
Joseph looked at the tsunamis around him that were caused by his attack, and evaporated them with just a wave of his hand. Despite this, he still frowned and looked at the sea.
Although the attack just now seemed to be huge and powerful, it did not achieve the result he wanted. He originally wanted to use the explosion to chain detonate possible bombs, but seeing the sea surface that was the same as the beginning, he knew that his plan had miscalculated and the enemy had already thought of this.
Joseph was not an expert in perception, and the torpedoes were engraved with runes for concealment. Under Set's special control, Joseph could not detect these torpedoes at all. He had to order all ships to fire at the sea in an attempt to destroy the bombs in this way.
Drake was unhappy with Joseph's behavior of meddling in other people's affairs, but even though he was the commander-in-chief of this operation, he had no choice but to give the order again so that he would not appear to be just a figurehead.
The order was given, and three-digit fleets fired at the sea one after another. The sound was instantly shocking.
When the Disaster Clan saw this scene, everyone looked at Seth.
Noticing their gazes, Seth snorted complacently. He has grown a lot over the years. He is no longer the reckless man who only knows how to read novels. He has learned a lot from the protagonists of those old silver coin-type novels. For example, there is a hunter who likes to chop girls. He has a trick that Seth likes very much.
Seth has already seen that the enemy ships are equipped with magic output devices that can be converted into shields and shells for attack. What he is waiting for is the enemy to fire and consume magic power to clear the mines. In this way, he can control the mines to temporarily dive into the sea, avoiding the shells, and wait for the enemy ships to run out of magic power to detonate them together.
When Seth thought of his victory in intelligence, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Jie Jie Jie Jie!"
Well, this laughter is really hearty. I don’t know if he learned it from Ronnie or from reading novels.
But before Seth could laugh for long, Joseph realized that something was wrong and ordered the shelling to stop, and then ordered the fleet to leave the area at full speed.
Seeing this, Seth laughed. After all, if the enemy was allowed to leave like this, the mines would not be able to catch up with them.
Not caring about the fact that there were still many mines that had not reached under the enemy ship, Seth simply controlled all the torpedoes that had gathered under the enemy ship to detonate them together.
