Chapter 120 Mutual Harm

"Look, what's that thing rushing towards us from the sky?"

"Idiot! Those are cannonballs, and the direction... it seems to have come from the location of the Rockbreaker."

"It's over! It's over, I don't want to die here, I want to jump ship, sob sob, I don't want to die on this ship."

Six shooting stars plummeted from the sky, their shrill cries in the air like the mournful calls of birds of death, dampening the morale of everyone on the fortresses by half.

"This thing actually dares to play for real!" Lord Chun-Li slammed his elbow against the wall, gritting his teeth as he spoke.

"My lord, should we activate the power system to increase its weight in the fortress's energy supply? Running faster might allow us to avoid it..."

"Run? Where to run? Even if we accelerate instantly, this thing will track our biggest target, and we're still doomed."

The lord of the Chun-Li sighed deeply, her brows furrowed. "Unless... someone else takes the blame for us."

"First mate, lock onto the nearest target, then charge at it. Once the locked-on shell changes target, get away immediately."

"yes!"

Several deputies' Adam's apples bobbed as they swung the gear levers to their full extent, charging at an astonishing speed toward the nearest Black Serpent.

"Don't blame me, I want to live too."

"The Lord of the Chun-Li muttered to himself."

Of course, he's not the only smart guy like that.

In an instant, countless fortresses intersected with each other, racing against time to get as close as possible to some poor soul amidst the roar of engines.

The locking mechanism of a second-order magnesium laser bullet never relies on human intervention; it follows only one internal logic.

Choose the nearest goal whenever possible, avoid the bad habit of trying to do too much at once, and only seek the most basic result.

So, the Rockbreaker was just blindly firing, taking advantage of the fact that the location information of other fortresses hadn't changed much after being erased, and trying to gain the initiative.

A pure gambler's approach: as long as you can lock onto one guy, you've made a profit, reducing the pressure on their second-tier intelligence positioning system.

Black Serpent was the first intelligent person to foresee the situation worsening.

The Black Serpent's Tier 2 technology, the Cobra Sail, was activated ahead of schedule. The strong wind instantly billowed the enormous sails, adding a considerable amount of thrust to the fortress.

Black Snake was able to quickly increase its starting speed in the face of drastic changes, thus reducing the trouble of being locked on by cannon fire.

The lord of the Black Serpent stared back at the Rock Burst, which was now lost in the vastness of the world, with eyes full of rage and resentment.

"So, the Rockburst, huh? Don't ever fall into my hands again, you'll see!"

As expected, the Black Serpent's location will soon change again, and no matter what kind of beyond-visual-range Tier 2 weapon it is, it will be unable to lock onto them even slightly.

With a loud thud, the Black Serpent suddenly shook.

The violent shaking of the ship caused the captain of the Black Serpent to stumble. In his disheveled state, he leaned on his hand and looked out of the fortress window, only to see another fortress of similar size sailing alongside them.

The two fortresses were so close that their sides were almost touching.

There were also sparks flying from the metal as it clashed, and the scraping sound was maddening.

They showed no mercy whatsoever, only charging headlong into the air, making it clear they really wanted to cuddle.

He stared intently at the uninvited guest, only to be met with a flag bearing a blue-green cross pattern.

"This is... Chunli, what is this guy doing here?" The captain of the Black Serpent was stunned, momentarily confused.

But after spotting a yellow-red star chasing Chun-Li, the impactful image made the situation crystal clear.

Almost instinctively, his nerves tensed up instantly.

He was almost launched like a catapult, turning the steering wheel sharply to the right. In his panic, he didn't know how many times he turned, causing the Black Serpent to swerve far away from the Chun-Li as if avoiding a plague.

Soon, the two were separated by tens of meters.

"What do you mean by wasting things and bringing that plague here?"

The Black Serpent opened a one-way communication channel with the Chun-Li, angrily questioning her in a trembling voice.

"Who doesn't want to live? Everyone does. Why should you be the one to live?"

After finishing her sentence, Chun-Li cut off the channel and drove her second-order phantom engine turbine towards the Black Serpent.

"born!"

The Black Serpent Lord clenched his fist and slammed his left foot into the metal control panel.

The Chun-Li, which was originally drifting further and further away from the horizon, easily changed course, and with the support of the powerful engines at the rear, the short distance between the two was immediately shortened.

The second-stage Phantom Turbo Engine, while powerful at startup, wasn't as impressive as the Black Serpent's Cobra Sail.

But he knew that if it came down to a contest of speed, it would be incredibly easy for the White Serpent to be caught up.

By then, even if the Black Serpent had the power to turn the tide, it would be useless; a single Tier 2 explosive magnesium bomb would be enough to end the lives of everyone on the fortress.

"To survive, even if it means resorting to any means necessary!"

He roared, like a beggar at the end of his rope, the slightest hope of survival enough to drive them to extremes.

"Now it's time to fight back, everyone! How can we let others become scapegoats!"

With the command given, the cohesion of the Black Serpent became a knotted knot.

The crew used every means at their disposal.

In an instant, a hail of bullets rained down on the Black Serpent, and even more shockingly, several shells shot out with serpentine trails.

To strike Chun-Li's propulsion system as much as possible, shutting down the two turbine units before the flares hit.

Meanwhile, the Chun-Li was not to be outdone, its firepower aimed directly at the Black Serpent's second-tier sails, attempting to tear them apart.

They all fell into a cycle of mutual harm.

Until that deadly magnesium flash bomb hit the ground, Chun-Li calmly sped away from the smoke rising from the Black Serpent, not daring to look back at the hell behind her for even a second.

……

Smoke filled the air, brothers turned on each other, and the firelight reflected on the sea surface, revealing an unspeakable madness.

He Feng remembered that after he hit the biggest guy, the guy next to him immediately exploded.

The death was extremely gruesome, and the weapon used to attack it was exactly the same as before.

The towering flames and beams of light marked the beginning of this dirge.

The remaining hull, burning fiercely, and the coal, emitting a charred smell, marked the final end.

At the same time, the next, most tragic symphony began.

Now, the complex cacophony of countless weapons creates a powerful symphony.

This place was completely ignited into a brutal battlefield.

The Azure, basking in the tranquility of the world, found a clearing in the wake of the artillery fire that was less affected by the battle.

It's safe for now, unless the intensity of the fighting escalates as rapidly as it is now...

The intelligence system clearly displayed the horrific situation around them.

Only one sentence was on his mind.

The entire border waters are in complete chaos.

"The living have all run away, so all that's left are the dead who have nothing to do with the things."

"It's time to harvest the vegetables," He Feng muttered to himself, gazing at the surrounding firelight.
