Hoffman led the Bellbear warriors in piecing together what shields they could find to hold up a shelter for the Robert Rabbits, who under cover adjusted the position and direction of the ship's giant crossbows and launched a passive counterattack!
The power of the giant crossbow wasn't small, and the most important thing was that the giant crossbow wasn't magical energy, it could go right through that shield, which was the most proven way of attacking at the moment!
The arrow as thick as an arm shot into the enemy ship that was speeding over there, the powerful penetrating force instantly nailed the two people standing in the front and back position, the arrow tip pierced out from behind the second person and then nailed heavily into the deck, the blood stayed along the arrow shaft and soon spread a puddle of scarlet blood on the deck!
The two people who were nailed to death, the former one's eyes were wide open, there was still an arrow waiting to be strung on the bow held in his hand, his finger threw on the trigger as if he was still going to fire the arrow in the next second, and the latter one's eyes were tightly closed, his hands were helplessly hanging down on both sides of his body, and his bow had fallen into a pool of blood, so he might have been directly pierced through before he could even react to the situation!
Deck and no one more than look at these two unlucky people, fighting no one dares to be distracted, if you do not always play a hundred and twenty-thousand percent of the spirit, then the next one to die, may be their own!
"Taberman, go pull out the dragon hunting giant crossbow, now!"
Sheridan shouted.
"Yes!"
Taberman answered, then called two men to run down the deck-side stairs with him.
In a few moments, the sound of wheels rolling over steps was heard, only to see Taberman pulling ahead, with two men pushing behind, and was pulling a giant crossbow machine toward the deck!
This dragon-hunting giant crossbow was purchased by Herald spending a lot of money, the general mercenary ships do not have this, this is beyond the conventional giant crossbow, operating this giant crossbow requires three adult men together, the arrows used are special special arrows, as thick as a thigh, and the arrows have four-pronged barbs, it is a single destructive power of the heavy weapon!
"That spot on the deck where the shields are up, aim for the spot!"
Sheridan said faintly.
At this time, Carlos and Shelia were frantically firing their magic guided cannons!
"I'm empty of magical energy in my magic crystals here, do you have any unused ones anywhere?"
Carlos said to Shelia.
"I just used up the last piece and now I don't have any more!
The shield on that ship hasn't broken yet, what can we do about that!"
Shelia said anxiously.
"How is this thing going to recharge, this shouldn't be used and wasted, right?"
Carlos asked.
"Of course not, the magic crystal stone can be reused, but only if there is a magician to infuse magic energy into it, different levels of magicians infuse different densities of magic energy, and the durability of the magic crystal stone will be different, like this one should just be made by an ordinary scholar mage, the durability is too low!"
Shelia explained.
"Then can we re-infuse the magical energy?"
Carlos asked.
"The special material of the magic crystal stone has a natural affinity for magical energy, things like imbuing magical energy can all be done as long as one learns to manipulate and use magical energy, there are magicians in the human world who specialize in charging the magic crystal stone, but the magical energy that the magical apprentice can hold and extract on their own is so small that it can take up to a day to fill up a single piece of magic crystal stone!
It's simply too late!"
Shelia said helplessly.
"As long as there's enough volume right, I guess I can give it a try!"
Carlos said confidently and slowly.
"Hmm?
Are you still a high level wizard?
! But you wouldn't even use magic just now!"
Shelia was skeptical of Carlos!
Of course Carlos wasn't a high level magician, but Carlos had a system, all the problems weren't a problem with Carlos!
As long as you increase the output, it's no problem, isn't magical energy extracted from elemental abilities?
There's a lot of elemental energy Carlos!
"Al, convert all the elemental energy stored in your attack skills into magical energy!
Hurry!"
Carlos urged.
"This will make the converted attack skills unusable for a short period of time, are you sure you want to convert them all, master?"
Al reminded.
"Hmm?
Does it make the skill unusable?
Forget it then, let's just convert the 4th rank attack skills, I still need to keep some skills for defense."
Carlos immediately changed his attention, a little attack would be too insecure!
"Conducting a large amount of energy conversion, the system will adjust the conversion rate downward, the current conversion rate is eighty percent, please confirm the conversion!"
That's Al's official accent.
"Eighty is eighty, spin it!"
Carlos was disgusted by this trickery of the system, but was helpless.
Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.
"Conversion in progress, please wait!"
"Ding!
Master conversion is complete!"
Al's brisk voice rang out.
"It's harsh, but at least it's efficient!"
Satisfied, Carlos then began to play deep in front of Shelia.
"Just try it!"
Carlos said softly, then gathered the magical energy from his fingertips and pressed it down towards a used magic crystal, which shimmered slightly before reverting back to dullness.
"It won't work, this amount is too small, it seems like it might not even fill up a block a day now!"
Shelia shook her head and said softly.
"Don't worry, I haven't even powered up yet!"
Carlos said with a smile.
Carlos's finger did not leave the magic crystal stone, only to see a faint glow lit up from the place of contact, and then quickly spread to all locations throughout the magic crystal stone, after a few breaths of time, the magic crystal stone was completely lit up, and it did not darken any further.
This meant that at this moment, this magic crystal had already reached the upper limit of the energy it could carry!
"Ah!
How is this this possible!"
Shelia looked at Carlos in surprise, while disbelief shone in her eyes!
"Jesus!
This is incredible!
Even Awakened Mages don't have this kind of speed, could it be that you're already at the Magus level?"
Shelia screamed out, the fact that she was in front of her made it impossible for her to maintain the proper dignity of a noble!
Carlos repeated the mechanical motions, quickly energizing all the magic crystals around him before looking up and saying.
"I don't know what level I'm really considered to be at!
Never mind that, getting rid of that mercenary ship in a hurry is the most important thing now!"
Carlos himself couldn't have a reasonable explanation, which was why he diverted Shelia's attention!
"Oh yeah, having these should be enough to break that shield!"
Shelia said with a nod.
The two of them, Carlos and Shelia, fired their magic guided cannons even faster, one with a red beam spewing out of the muzzle, and then not into, the light blue shroud of light.
"Captain Sheridan, Captain Derian's ship is still capable of firing magic cannons, and the upper limit of the energy the shields can support is about to go through the roof!
At this rate, the shield will collapse!"
A common mercenary ran out of the cabin in a hurry and shouted
"What?
How can that be!"
Sheridan said incredulously.
"Fart!
I don't know how many magic crystals that idiot Derian has on his ship?
There aren't even enough pre-stored magic crystals to reach the upper limit of my shield!"
After the surprise, Sheridan's first reaction was to disbelieve the news!
"Captain Sheridan, it's true, the magic cannons on Captain Derian's ship have been firing energy beams, with a brief pause in between, and we thought at the time that they were running out of magic crystals to fill them up, but not long after that they started firing them again one after the other, and now they're about to reach critical mass, and the alarms in the cabins are starting to go off!"
The mercenary said a lot in a row, hoping that Sheridan would realize how serious the situation was now!
"It's not possible!
That poor bastard Derian, selling himself he couldn't come up with such a large amount of magic crystals!"
Sheridan remains unconvinced.
"Boom!"
Just then, there was a violent shaking of the ship on Sherid's side, and the Dragon Hunter's giant crossbow tipped over on its side before it had a chance to fire!
All of the mercenaries on the deck tumbled to the ground with a sudden and tremendous force, and it was only after landing heavily on the deck that Sherid recognized the fact that the shields had collapsed!
"Holy shit!
Derian the asshole!
I can't believe I hid so many magic crystals behind my back!
And pretending to be poor in front of me every day, this superficial asshole!"
Sheridan cursed the already dead Derian, and Derian just took the fall for Carlos!
At that moment, Carlos was still blasting the mercenary ship with his magic cannon, and the blasts were getting better and better!
All of this energy could have been exchanged by Carlos with the elemental energy of his skills, which meant that it was equivalent to Carlos was slamming over in a frenzy with Breaking Chop, Explosive Flame, Current Pulse, all of these fourth-ranked skills!
Carlos loved this feeling of smashing people with skills the most, even though he was smashing the ship now, it didn't affect Carlos's feeling of throwing skills at all, but instead it was even more enjoyable!
Compared to Carlos's happy mood, Sherid's side was very difficult, now even if he wanted to use the magic cannon to counterattack, it was useless, because the opposite side's ship was also equipped with a magic shield, Sherid's reserves of magic crystals here weren't particularly large, and there was not much confidence in being able to break through a shield of the same level!
"Taberman, pick up the dragon hunting giant crossbow!"
Sheridan exclaimed!
Taberman, along with two other mercenaries, righted the dragon hunting giant crossbow!
"You guys go up there and operate it, me and the rest of the guys will stabilize the giant crossbow for you at the bottom and teach those damn orcs a lesson!"
Sheridan said in exasperation.
With the cooperation of Taberman and the other two, the bowstring of the Dragon Hunter's giant crossbow was slowly drawn back, the sound of the bowstring gradually tightening could be heard in such a noisy environment, and the crossbow arrows, as thick as thighs, were placed in the grooves, with the tips of the arrows pointing at the distant windows of the cabins where the magical guided cannons were still being fired!
Whoosh!
!
The sound that trembled the air came out, the arrow sounded like thunder, shooting straight towards that window, looking at the direction of the window of Hylia's turret!
Carlos was blasting away on his side when suddenly the spider-sense went off and on, and never more sharply and abruptly!
"Holy shit, what's going on?
Am I being punished?
Suddenly such a strong sense of crisis!"
Carlos didn't find anything threatening enough!
Soon a black dot answered him!
Carlos had the amazing physical quality of a fifth-order magical beast, when the black dot representing that arrow appeared within the field of vision, Carlos judged that it was the source of danger, but after judging, Carlos found that the damage range of this arrow was not very large, and that he himself would not be able to suffer any damage at all as long as he avoided it a little bit!
Carlos scrutinized the trajectory again and realized that this direction of the arrow was towards Shelia, who was not far away!
The rapidly approaching arrows didn't give Carlos much time to think, the sound of breaking air was already close to his ears, while Hylia still had to methodically fire her magic guided cannons, not even the slightest bit aware of the impending danger!
"Geez, this silly girl!"
Carlos couldn't help but crumple up, and despite his words, Carlos' body moved on reflex!
Because of his earlier hesitation, Carlos had already missed the best chance to escape with Shelia, and now it was no longer realistic for both of them to hide!
In the nick of time, Carlos dodged and pounced in front of Shelia's body, and then the arrow that was as thick as a thigh mounted heavily on Carlos' back!
The sound of metal clashing rang out, and the scales on Carlos's back actually clashed with the arrow!
There was a moment of sparks bursting out when they first made contact, the scale armor on Carlos's back blocked a large portion of the force, but spare me, the tip of that arrow was still deeply embedded in Carlos's back just below his shoulder, and if it wasn't for the scale armor blocking the arrow, it would have been able to zap Carlos through and through!
Part of the scale armor on his back was shattered by the tip of the arrow, and blood couldn't stop gushing outward from where the tip of the arrow met the flesh and blood!
As a result of this tremendous impact, Carlos also had a mouthful of bruised blood spurting out of his mouth, and the blood dyed the white plumes of Hylia red!
Hylia looked at Carlos in front of her, and tears sprang to her eyes, and her wail of grief simply tore at her heart, and the orc warriors on the deck rushed down when they heard it!
Then as soon as he came down he saw Carlos with a huge arrow sticking out of his back in Shelia's arms and so much blood on Shelia!
This scared the hell out of them, and they rushed forward to inquire, and after learning that Shelia was fine, everyone breathed a sigh of relief in unison!
"Hey, I'm not dead yet?
Can you save me?"
Carlos craned his neck to finish the sentence, and then passed out as if he had used up his last bit of strength and sank down!
When he passed out, Carlos was still a bit indignant, how come these orcs didn't care about him at all, he really suffered for nothing!
"Hoffman, get him up and get tools ready to remove the arrows from his back, then in a moment I'll go and treat him while I see if Ms. Shelia is alright!"
Avril said calmly and coolly, seemingly accustomed to seeing this kind of injury scene, listening to the tone of her voice she was still a doctor like existence, no wonder among these orcs vaguely higher layer to come!
"I'm fine, Avril, you have to help him, he's doing this to save me, Avril you have to help him, I'm not hurt at all, all this blood is his!"
Shelia cried, her words full of worry and nervousness.
If Carlos could hear that, then he might feel better inside!
"Yes, Ms. Hylia, I'll treat him now!"
Avril said with a nod.
Avril had Hoffman pull the arrow out of Carlos' back first, and all of a sudden blood spurted out!
