Chapter 2102 - 2102 The warship enters the sea (1)
2102 The warship enters the sea (1)
As time pa.s.sed, the first warship was finally completed under the antic.i.p.ation of many believers.
Everyone happily accepted Tang Zhen’s invitation and rushed over at the agreed time.
They had long wanted to see the actual combat results of the warship. Now that Tang Zhen had taken the initiative to invite them, they naturally would not miss this opportunity.
The entire defense area became unusually lively. Not only did the invited guests arrive on time, but many believers who did not accept the invitation also came uninvited.
Although this scene could be seen through the image transmission stone, many believers were not satisfied with watching the silent images. Instead, they wanted to experience it for themselves.
Anyone who came was a guest, and the believers in the defense area would receive them warmly.
The guests were lucky enough to taste the beast-luring fruit and were full of praise for its taste. In addition, they were also very envious.
It was because of the beast-luring fruit that the sea monsters kept coming to defense area 153. They could still hear the gunshots from the top of the city wall, which proved that the hunting of sea monsters had never stopped.
The number of wild monsters might not be as large as when the sea monster army attacked, but with this kind of non-stop killing, the battle merits gained were far greater than the rewards of normal battles.
Moreover, this kind of battle was quite safe. The believers in the defense area could even chat while hunting sea monsters, looking very relaxed.
It seemed that in their eyes, hunting sea monsters had become a simple task that could be completed with their eyes closed.
There was no need for the believers to die under the fangs of the sea monsters every time they fought with the sea monsters, like the believers in other defense areas.
When the other defense areas were attacked by sea monsters, they were all on guard, but the believers in defense area 153 were overjoyed.
This was the difference between them, and it made people envious and jealous.
Although there were also losses in the process of fighting, the items consumed by the believers were weapons conjured by Tang Zhen. Strictly speaking, there was no cost at all.
After all, Tang Zhen’s consumption could be replenished. As long as time allowed, he could materialize as many ammunition as he wanted.
Even if the other believers wanted to do this, they could not do it at all. After all, they did not have the strength of Tang Zhen.
There was another reason. The cultivation method of the world of loucheng was very special. It was a collection of the essence of ten thousand worlds, which was incomparable to the cultivation methods of ordinary planes.
Tang Zhen was able to conjure any object with a single thought. However, cultivators of the same rank from other planes might not be able to do so. Even if they were able to do so, the process would be rather difficult.
At the end of the day, it was still a difference in cultivation level. It was also because of this that the world of loucheng could dominate the myriad world.
While the believers were envious and jealous, they also had a rough guess of Tang Zhen’s strength. Perhaps, he was at the top level in the entire Scandinavia.
Such a super expert must not be easily provoked, or else it would be seeking death.
Many of the believers who harbored evil thoughts toward Tang Zhen earlier had now quietly stopped their actions in order to avoid causing trouble for themselves.
At the same time, these believers also made up their minds to be on good terms with Tang Zhen as much as possible. When they encountered something good in the future, they might be able to be guided.
The four-winged birds in the sky were still rushing over. When all the invited believers arrived, the warship launching ceremony officially began.
At this moment, not only were the gazes of the entire defensive area focused on one spot, but even the image transmission stones of the other defensive areas were also packed with spectators.
The believers all wanted to see the first show of the warship. They wanted to see if it could really become a mobile maritime defense area as Tang Zhen said.
Tang Zhen’s figure slowly appeared under the attention of tens of thousands of people. He was wearing a set of gorgeous battle armor and the Cape behind him was Scarlet like blood.
The surroundings were extremely quiet, with only the sound of low breathing and the occasional gunshot.
Many believers had only heard of Tang Zhen’s name but had never seen him.
Now that they finally had the chance to see him, they couldn’t help but widen their eyes. They wanted to see what was so different about this human cultivator whose name shook the divine Kingdom.
Tang Zhen walked to the front of the completed warship under the gazes of many people and gently waved his hand.
The scaffolding suddenly collapsed, and then, as if controlled by an invisible hand, it was neatly placed on an open s.p.a.ce not far away.
The half-covered battleship was now revealed. Its surface was covered with a layer of white paint, completely covering the original color of the Boulder.
The huge ship’s ruler was nearly 200 meters long, and it was not inferior to the largest sea monster. At least in terms of size, it was definitely not at a disadvantage, and it would not easily capsize after being hit.
As the warship was surrounded by walls, it was impossible to see the specific layout from below. However, they could still see objects like towers and flagpoles.
Just as the guests were watching intently, a command was heard. A group of believers in uniform armors gathered together and boarded the warship.
About ten minutes later, when all the selected crew members were in place, Tang Zhen invited the guests to board the ship.
The already impatient believers immediately climbed up the city wall along the deck and looked around impatiently.
After boarding the warship, they found that the surface area was far larger than they had imagined, and it was definitely not crowded during the battle.
The flat deck was not only filled with artilleries and anti-aircraft machine guns, but there was also a temple and some buildings for observation and command, which caused the believers to constantly discuss and speculate.
Many parts of the ship were covered with various runic magic circles, which were cleverly concealed at the same time. It was impossible to notice them without careful observation.
At the same time, the visitors realized that the interior of the warship was definitely not so large. There must be more s.p.a.ce under the deck.
The visitors were surprised as they calculated in their hearts. This warship alone could indeed accommodate thousands or even tens of thousands of believers.
Based on this point alone, it was not an exaggeration to say that the warship was a mobile sea defense area.
Although they really wanted to take a look below the battleship, the visitors did not dare to act rashly without Tang Zhen’s permission.
Just as the believers were talking in low voices, Tang Zhen had already come to the command cabin of the warship and issued the order to open the floodgates.
The waterway leading to other docks was sealed, and the waterway connected to the warship under their feet was opened. At the same time, a loud rumble came from the inside of the mountain ahead.
Immediately after, a glimmer of light appeared in the pa.s.sage on the mountain peak, and rolling sea water gushed in, filling the dock in an extremely short time.
The huge battleship swayed a few times before floating in the water. All the visitors felt very strange about this feeling.
“Activate the runic magic circle!”
As an order spread throughout the entire warship, a strong current suddenly sprayed out from the stern of the warship. A transparent barrier appeared around the warship, pushing the seawater that surrounded the warship away slightly.
In this way, the resistance of the warship would be greatly reduced, and the speed of the warship would be faster.
“It’s moving!”
It was unknown which believer shouted, but the huge warship was like a sea beast that had just woken up. It began to move slowly along the waterway and soon drove into the huge cave.
In the blink of an eye, the warship had already rushed out of the pa.s.sage under the mountain and sailed into the vast sea.
“Full speed ahead!”
Another order came, and the slowly moving warship was like a roaring giant beast, pushing out a huge wave from the tail, and like an arrow leaving the bow, it flew toward the distant ocean.
The believers on the city wall fired their guns to send them off, wishing the warship a successful first voyage and a great victory.
Through the live broadcast of the transmission stone, the believers in the other defense areas also saw the scene of the battleship leaving the defense area.
At this time, everyone’s heart was full of antic.i.p.ation. They wanted to see what kind of performance this warship, known as a moving defense area on the sea, would have.
