Chapter 837: Ancient Warship (Part 2)
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
On the deck of the giant battleship, the Dragon Remains combat vessel had crashed through the hatch at the rear of the deck, and the last thousands of spirits poured out and into the hatch. Nailisi sprang up on the aft end of the vessel, not caring about Nicholas anymore. She went straight to the command module.
" Master!"
"Nailisi, what's wrong?" Saleen was a bit surprised to see Nailisi hurrying back. His order was to kill all the people on the ship, and there didn't seem to be many strong ones on this ship. But such a huge ship could accommodate tens of thousands of people, so why did Nailisi return so quickly?
Nailisi was slightly relieved to see that the Dragon Remains combat vessel was unharmed, and that both Winged Skull and Saleen were safe. She frowned, "Master, this vessel is odd, and down there, there are many... ancient warriors."
"Ancient warriors?" Saleen didn't understand.
Nicholas followed up at this time, and he followed Saleen's words, "My lord, Nailisi didn't explain clearly. We went down and encountered a large number of ancient warriors who acted woodenly and didn't have any scent of living people. These warriors are very powerful, but in the ancient past, they were all in the status of ordinary soldiers. This vessel has at least a dozen floors, and I'm afraid that the further down we go, the more dangerous it will be."
Saleen was just flabbergasted, then said, "Nicholas, did these ancient warriors actively attack you?"
"No." Even after Nailisi used grade-9 magic, the ancient warriors didn't counterattack.
Saleen's mind raced as he thought. If this giant vessel was filled with powerful ancient warriors and they would actively attack, then he would immediately take the Pan Turtle Alchemy Ship and escape as far away as he could. But these ancient warriors didn't actively attack, obviously, they weren't the same as those on the deck.
There was something wrong with this battleship. It definitely wasn't what one imagined, it wasn't even a vessel made by the Cloudflow people.
If the Cloudflow people could create such a battleship, Alchemy City would definitely not be a match, let alone blockade the Cloudflow people's battleship in the southern waters.
"This vessel was made by ancient humans!" Saleen said with certainty.
"Master, I'll call someone over, many of the mages on Sreeger Island know trivia knowledge, they'll definitely be able to recall something.
Before he finished, a Sreeger Island mage took the initiative to contact Saleen within the Sound Transmission Magic Array, "Your Highness, I know the history of this battleship!"
"Dikka? Come here." Saleen's mind was slightly settled, and he searched his mind for the information he remembered. The knowledge he had forcibly remembered in the past was all related to battles, he remembered too little about the ancient human history.
This mage named Dikka quickly came to the command cabin, and after saluting with Saleen, he said, "This battleship should be from the First Dynasty period. When the dynasty's armies conquered all the planes, some of them were filled with oceans, and the land was extremely far apart. Although there were many powerful people in the First Dynasty, the number of planes to be conquered was also huge, and against some lower planes, only ordinary soldiers were dispatched. This kind of battleship, called the Ancient, is a small battleship that acts as an escort, with a crew of 68,000."
Small battleship....
If this is a small battleship, what is your own Dragon Remains combat vessel? A sampan?
"Your Highness, Ancient Battleships have the ability to blockade airspace and are very powerful against underwater attacks. But these ships were almost completely consumed during the Second Dynasty, and most of them did not return to the Myers Mainland Plane, but remained in other planes to suppress the resistance of the believers of various planes."
"Then do you know the properties of the Ancient Battleship?"

Dikka shook his head and said, "My lord, this ship is too old, the magic arrays that aid in battle must have stopped functioning, the soldiers on board have died cleanly, and the only thing that can function is the core power."
"Core power, it can continue to operate even after 30,000 years old ?"
"Of course, energy consumption can be conserved, and some magical array..."
"I see, Dikka, what other clues do you know?"
"Your Highness, all I know is that the Ancient Battleship has a strong self-healing ability, and the core maneuvering position is located a third of the way forward of the ship. All the way down, you can find the core power."
Hesitantly, Dikka added, "I don't think the enemies are very strong, they shouldn't have control of the ship. They have modified the deck and several floors above, using their own soldiers for control, but below, it shouldn't have been developed yet." His eyes radiated greed.
This kind of greed was something that all mages had when they discovered new knowledge, there must be quite a bit of lost magical knowledge on this ancient ship, such as Magic array, some Magic Medicine, and elemental restoration.
Saleen was also very impressed. This ancient battleship was obviously powered by someone who controlled it, but he couldn't control those ancient warriors to fight for him. If Saleen could capture this ancient battleship, then he could slowly study it and even fix those ancient warriors one by one.
It was just that this plan had to be done slowly since ancient humans and soldiers were all grade-9. The officers were probably grade-10, and he still had his own mind.
The ancient warships had a crew of 68,000, and if such power was revived, sweeping through the Myers Mainland would definitely not be a problem.
In any case, it was better to fix the person controlling this battleship first. In any case, it was better to fix the person controlling this battleship first.
"Nailisi, don't worry about me, I'm here with the soldiers and won't leave. You continue to lead the soldiers, just search for the enemy on the first level. However, I need the prisoners. You interrogate them yourself, and let Nicholas help you."
"Yes, Master." Nailisi listened to Dikka's words and knew that Saleen would indeed be in no danger. If the person controlling the ancient warships could manipulate those dead ancient warriors, they would have already dismantled the Dragon Remains combat vessel.
This dragon's skeleton might have been only a grade-12 creature in life, and it would not be able to defeat a group of level grade-9 soldiers by trying to rely on the battleship's power.
Saleen gave orders to Nailisi here, and the Water puppet over there also knew of Saleen's decision. Instead of going deeper under the deck, he brought the spirits with him and killed all the way to the stern of the ship.
The Water puppet didn't use its own power either, just kept taking out Magic Staff, or Magic Scroll to consume the stored magic. Before Saleen left, he had the grade-9 Sorcerer to store two magic inside all the Magic Staffs and brought them with him. The large number of Magic Staff that Joey had given him played a crucial role at this time.
The scrolls in the water puppet's hands were no more than grade-5 at most, enough to attack the enemy's soldiers and low-level mages, but inside those Magic Staffs, grade-9 magic was stored, not quite consuming mental energy.
The water puppet brought the spirits all the way to the stern of the giant battleship and encountered a total of four Sorcerers, all of which were grade-7, and none of which were stronger than grade-8. He didn't waste any time, and simply took out his magic staff and blasted them to death with his grade-9 magic.
The four grade-7 Sorcerers, who consumed eight grade-9 magic, all had no resistance and were put down by the Water puppet. Two successive grade-9 magic attacks were not something that a grade-7 Sorcerer could resist. The Water Puppet itself also had the strength of an grade-8, and once the grade-7 Sorcerer he had locked down were already dead.
The number of Sorcerers on the giant battleship wasn't small, but they were all scattered and died very unjustly as they were each struck by the Water puppet.
It was reasonable for a grade-7 Sorcerer to not be easily killed by a grade-8 Sorcerer, but Salen was just too rich. The Magic Staff made by God's mulberry and Ghost oak tree could store two magic, and the amount that Joey gave to Saleen was enough to equip him with all of his High Mages.
The Water Puppet slaughtered with magic all the way until the blood flowed like a river. The sea breeze blew across the deck and the blood congealed purple, giving off a sickening smell. The spirits behind him, however, were excitedly absorbing the power of life. The Winged Skeleton had given these spirits no injunction, so the spirits instinctively absorbed the power and soul of the dead.
"This is too much!" A loud voice rang out, from below the deck, a huge magic array emerged. Tt was a Teleportation portal for a short distance, the same as the one on the back of the Pan Turtle Alchemy Ship, teleporting up to within ten meters.
The Water Puppet threw an Elemental garbling Scroll, and this Teleportation portal emitted a deafening rumbling sound.
"Ah!"
A black-robed mage was only halfway through his teleportation when he discovered that the elements within the teleportation array went berserk, and his feet were dissolved by the elements before he even stepped out of the magic array, disappearing forever in an unknown dimension. This wasn't the most frightening, the most frightening was that the magic Teleportation array also began to collapse and caused the two phenomena of elemental storms and space collapse. The body of the mage who lost his feet was rapidly decomposing.
He didn't understand, wasn't the enemy afraid that the violent space collapse would swallow up everything nearby?
The Water Puppet calmly looked at the grade-8 mage before him and took out an Elemental Array Scroll, unfolding it with ease. The space collapse caused by the collapse of the Transportation portal was blocked, and the elemental storm raged towards the stern of the ship, but it was blocked in front of the water puppet.
In front of the water puppet, the six elements were regularly arranged into a magical barrier, and every time it was attacked by the space collapse, this barrier was eroded down one layer, only the speed of the erosion was similar to the speed of the magical barrier repairing itself.
The metal fragments were all absorbed into the collapsed space. With the disappearance of the magic transmission array that triggered the space collapse, the space collapse also stopped, and the metal powder absorbed inside exploded violently and blew out, shattering the elemental array in front of the Water Puppet.
On the surface of the Water Puppet's body, the Water Shield was activated instantly, blocking the remaining attacks.
From start to finish, every magical maneuver of the Water Puppet was perfect. Its movements flowed smoothly without flaws.
Inside the large hole that appeared on the deck, a black-robed mage appeared, who was quite a bit younger than the unfortunate grade-8 Sorcerer. He only looked to be in his early twenties and his black magic robe had three magic markings on it.
"Your name is Saleen, right?" The grade-9 Sorcerer smiled at the Water Puppet. His smile was full of banter. He had finally detected the true strength of Saleen, and it didn't look like it was much, just relying on his mental strength and a lot of high-grade equipment.
He'd made a fortune this time, not only had he captured Saleen, but he'd also been able to obtain a lot of high-grade equipment from him... Kill two birds with one stone!
