Chapter 347 Sequence "Painter"
On the vast sea, dozens of warships from the Fisher and Roman families were lined up, ready for the upcoming naval battle.
This naval battle was initiated by the Fisher family. They deliberately sailed their ships to the southern waters, pretending to launch a surprise attack on the port and then directly attack the royal capital, forcing the royal family of Adly to send ships to engage in battle.
As for why they wanted to provoke this naval battle, it was naturally because the Fisher family was confident of victory!
Aldridge was full of doubts, but Byrne was extremely persistent.
"Don't worry, as long as we choose the battlefield on the sea, we will definitely win... Although I can't reveal my trump card, I hope you can trust me!"
He eventually succeeded in convincing Aldridge.
At this moment, the crew members of the Roman family looked at the Fisher family's ship in surprise.
"How come those ships are powered by steam engines?"
"They don't even use sails. Aren't they afraid of offending the Church of Storms?"
"Humph, something without a ship soul won't have any fighting power!"
They talked at once, feeling uneasy and fearful deep down about the ship they had never seen before.
Fortunately, the Fisher family is their ally!
Ariel, the "Man of the Stars," was also on board, gazing at Fisher's steam battleship and recalling what Byrne had said to her not long ago.
He planned to build an ironclad ship with its hull completely covered with steel armor.
"How is it possible? A ship made entirely of iron will sink, right? Does every ship have to spend a huge amount of money to set up a powerful magic array to increase power?"
That was her first thought at the time.
"No, you are wrong."
Byrne said that a steam engine was sufficient to maintain the power. They had calculated the math and the shipyard had already started preliminary design.
At this moment, Ariel suddenly felt that perhaps the Fisher family could really build an ironclad ship.
"According to the priests of the Reforging Church, people will sooner or later invent something that can shake the status of the Transcendental Ones... Could it be that they are referring to the ironclad warship?"
The sea breeze was very fierce, and black steam kept floating into the sky. Each warship of the Fisher family was like a giant beast ready to go on the sea.
“Hurry up! Hurry up!”
The muzzle of the steam battleship pointed darkly into the distance, the barrel reflecting a cold and sharp light. The soldiers on the deck were busy in a tense and orderly manner, checking the loading and aiming of the artillery.
The air was filled with the smell of gunpowder and salty sea water. This mixed smell made people involuntarily nervous. The waves hit the bottom of the warship, making a huge roar.
The clouds in the sky hung low, gradually blocking the sun's rays, making the entire sea surface shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere.
A large number of seagulls were circling over the sea, making shrill cries, adding a bit of uneasiness.
The communication channels between the warships maintained by the extraordinary beings were busy and tense. The commander of this naval battle, Yag, the leader of the Dawn of the Order of Dawn, conveyed various orders and instructions. Each warship was like a chess piece on the board, carefully arranged on the battlefield, waiting for his order.
Now that Yager has gray hair, he is already planning how to advance to the fifth step of the road to conquest.
"I will definitely be the first blood recipient to be promoted to the fifth level..."
The enemies they faced were numerous warships belonging to the royal family of Yardley, whose number was even twice theirs.
However, those warships were all wooden alchemical sailing ships, which were one level inferior to the Fischer family's steam warships.
The two sides soon launched a fierce naval battle, and the extraordinary people from both sides also came forward. On each ship, there were extraordinary people at the qualitative change level or the third and fourth levels.
On the surging sea, the extraordinary strong men quickly launched a thrilling battle. Many figures shuttled among the waves like ghosts, and each leap was accompanied by amazing strength and speed.
"Come with me!"
Archibald, who was familiar with naval battles, roared and took the lead in running and charging on the sea, which was very brave.
He used the power of "Hand of Winter" to completely freeze the surrounding sea surface into ice, allowing many extraordinary people who could not fly or had poor jumping abilities to launch an attack.
The two sides quickly engaged in battle on the ice!
The sea breeze whistled around the people, and the weapons of the extraordinary people flashed coldly in the sun, cutting through the ice and stirring up layers of waves; some people waved huge hammers, and every blow shook the entire ice surface, while others moved swiftly and gracefully, like dancing, bringing the art of combat to the extreme.
The sound of battle was deafening, and the massive amount of artillery fire and extraordinary power intertwined together was very spectacular.
Finally, several extraordinary people at the monarch level from both sides also joined the battle!
All the warships and ordinary extraordinary people dispersed in all directions tacitly, not wanting to get involved in the battlefield at the monarch level because the aftermath was enough to be fatal.
Ariel, the "Man of the Stars", saw that her opponent was Jayne, the "Hunter in the Mist" of the Abernathy family.
"Does your family have to help the royal family? From what I know, your ally, Marquis Rad, has his own ideas, right?"
Jayne nodded calmly and said slowly, "I'm sorry, Ms. Ariel... I can't disobey the family's decision. In fact, if I had a choice, I don't want a civil war to happen at all."
"Every death of a Syat makes my heart ache."
Ariel sneered.
"Hmph, hypocrisy!"
Every time they collided, huge waves were stirred up, which soon swept away the surrounding ships. However, the monarchs and powerful men did not care about this and were fully focused on the battle.
Compared to those enemy or friendly warships, your own life and death is more important...you yourself are the "big picture"!
More and more warships on both sides were bombarded and collapsed by the aftermath, and Yag immediately gave orders.
“Let’s get started!”
Many soldiers and extraordinary people began to activate the curse to provide continuous endurance for their own monarchs, and the two sides gradually came to a stalemate.
On the deck of a steam battleship, Helen was immersed in her artistic creation.
The girl's presence contrasts sharply with the giant beast, yet blends harmoniously into it.
Her long hair is cleverly tied behind her head, with a few strands of hair fluttering in the wind. Her eyes are deep and bright, as if she can see every detail of the battleship and then capture these details accurately on the canvas.
"It will be fine soon..."
Helen held a special paintbrush in her hand, which was specially customized according to the ship's environment. It could resist sea water erosion while maintaining smooth brushstrokes.
The brush dances quickly on the canvas, and the color-filled brushstrokes jump on the canvas, forming vivid pictures.
In particular, the outline of an enemy warship is depicted as resolute and powerful, with straight and tough lines. Anyone who sees it can feel the majesty and power it exudes.
Her eyes sparkle with her persistent pursuit of art. Every stroke of her brush is an exploration of beauty. Painting itself is her exploration of the scenery of her inner world.
Even the enemy's warships were painted perfectly by Helen without any ugliness.
As the brushstrokes deepened, the warship on the canvas suddenly suffered a fierce attack, with flames shooting into the sky and smoke filling the air.
She took a deep breath, expending all her spiritual strength, and muttered to herself.
"Let's face the reality."
Just as Helen finished the painting, everyone on an enemy ship in the distance felt an inexplicable shudder. The huge body of the warship began to shake violently, and people looked around in horror.
"What's going on!"
"what happened?"
The invisible attack spans a long distance and directly affects the enemy's warships!
Helen's paintings seemed to possess some kind of mysterious power. The disaster scenes in the paintings were actually played out in reality. The enemy warship was hit by invisible artillery, flames shot up into the sky, the huge explosion shook everyone's hearts, the sea water slammed against the hull violently, and the warship was tottering in the huge waves.
“This…how is this possible?”
An old soldier near Helen spoke in a trembling voice, with astonishment and disbelief written all over his face.
He had never imagined that a painter's paintings could have such powerful extraordinary power that could change the course of reality.
“It’s incredible!”
The soldiers' eyes were all focused on Helen, their gazes full of admiration and curiosity. They felt that the extraordinary person of the Fisher family was indeed very powerful, but they didn't know whether she was an extraordinary person of middle or upper qualitative transformation. Ordinary people could not tell at all.
Helen stood among the crowd and said softly:
“I am just a painter, using my brush to depict the world I see and feel. The reason why my paintings can have an impact on reality is that they carry the landscape deep in my heart.”
Since what I saw was war, it would naturally cause destruction, killing, and death...
Helen silently watched the enemy warships sinking to the bottom of the sea in the distance. If it weren't for her destiny as a "dream man" and her enormous spiritual power, she would probably not be able to achieve this level.
The third step of the road to love is "Painter", and her image in the spirit world is a smiling girl with a childlike innocence.
Physical fitness increases by 15, spiritual strength increases by 55, and the "painter" only gains one kind of extraordinary power, but the effect is very powerful.
"Magic Pen".
The "painter" can use painting rituals to cause supernatural influence on certain things in the painting, but the greater the influence, the more spiritual power he consumes.
The biggest advantage of the "Spiritual Pen" is its versatility. However, its disadvantage is obvious: the preparation time for the ceremony is very long. Even the background must be drawn as detailed as possible, and portraits cannot be prepared directly. Therefore, it will be almost useless in the event of a sudden contact battle.
Just then, the boat beneath her feet suddenly shook.
"What's going on?"
Helen, who had exhausted all her spiritual power, nearly fell down. After finally standing firmly, she saw something horrible emerging from the bottom of the sea.
What on earth is that?
She stared in great amazement at the giant monster floating on the sea!
The "spider monster" that emerged from the seabed is extremely large, more than 30 meters high, like a moving castle. Its body is made of solid magic alloy and its surface is covered with complicated magic runes. These runes flash with dim light when the puppet moves, as if life is beating. Its eight limbs are thick and powerful, and each limb is as solid as a pillar, inlaid with sharp magic glowing blades, enough to tear apart the toughest defenses.
That is an alchemical puppet used in war!
It is essentially an alchemical tool!
However, no one has ever seen such a shocking alchemical tool!
Helen clenched her hands tightly, feeling a strong sense of fear in her heart, and heard Ariel's shocked shouts in her ears.
"Royal Family of Yardley, you can never create something like this!"
