I gather power with my gift of God and build the heaven.

Chapter 244: The Temptation of Interests, the Use of Runes and Military Formations

"Haha, how is this possible?

The Celestial Empire was only just established. Even if it was strong, how strong could it be? And the places we occupied were all overseas.

If they dare to come, who will be the winner in the end?"

They may still be afraid of the ancient Eastern countries, and even the Celestial Empire.

But these Spaniards really don't care much about the Celestial Navy.

After all, over the years, the treasure ships that brought great power to the West by the Ming Dynasty have long disappeared.

Even in the waters surrounding the Ming Dynasty, there were basically no traces of Ming army warships. There were only pirates, Japanese pirates, and smuggling ships from various aristocratic families in the south of the Yangtze River.

Even if the Celestial Empire destroyed the Ming Dynasty, it would not be able to gather so many large ships at such a time, let alone warships.

So, they really don’t have much to worry about now.

"Yes, my Lord.

The sea is not land!"

"Yes, if it were on land, we might not be a match for the Celestial Empire's army.

But that’s not necessarily the case at sea.”

"Well, maybe."

Hearing everyone's comfort, Baron Keane felt relieved.

Indeed, the navy of the Ming Dynasty was not that good. Wasn’t Dongfanwei occupied by them and the Dutch before, and in the end, they did not send troops to attack them?

How powerful can the newly established Celestial Empire be?

At worst, they could just wait for a while, until the newly established Celestial Empire had recovered and had a strong navy, and then they would return Dongfanwei and other places.

By the end of the Ming Dynasty, the West had caught up with and even surpassed China in many areas and fields.

But overall, there is still a sense of weakness towards this great Eastern country.

That is the power and pressure brought about by the Chinese nation having always been at the top of the world.

The desperate suppression and denigration by various countries in later generations may not be without this reason.

If they turn the tables one day, won't they press the old boss into the mud?

Only in this way can their superiority be demonstrated.

It’s a pity that those people who are most willing to work hard and endure hardships are also the ones who are least lacking in resistance.

He was willing to be killed and dared to pull the emperor off his horse.

If you make me unable to live, then I will let you die first.

It is enough to resist experience.

Are the kings, princes, generals and ministers like Chen Sheng and Wu Guang of different races?

Although it was only a flash in the pan, it set off a wave of peasant uprisings.

The Yellow Turban Rebellion at the end of the Han Dynasty swept across the country with great force.

It was not until the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty that peasant uprisings reached their peak.

Zhu Yuanzhang, he succeeded.

Therefore, since ancient times, the Chinese nation has never lacked the spirit of hard work and perseverance, but also the spirit of resistance.

Faced with suppression and humiliation from various countries, we did not collapse. Instead, we withstood the pressure time and again and stood tall in the world once again.

Of course, that is something that happened in later generations.

In this world, that would never happen.

Nowadays, Westerners still feel a little scared when facing the great Eastern powers.

Especially now, they are still far away from their own country and isolated overseas.

I'm afraid even they themselves don't have much confidence in occupying Dongfanwei and other places for a long time?

However, they came here for money.

At that time, the worst that could happen is that they would just have to give up these occupied territories. I think the Celestial Empire would also be willing to do business with them, right?

This is what they think in their deepest hearts.

However, what the people of the Celestial Empire think may be somewhat different from theirs.

And Wang Chao was not one of those corrupt scholars who only talked about benevolence, righteousness, and morality, and could only talk about benevolence and righteousness.

The same is true of the Song Dynasty and the later Qing Dynasty. No matter whether they win or lose, they have to pay losses.

Who do you think you are?

Come when you want, and just keep quiet when you feel you are no match for your opponent?

However, the Celestial Empire is a country of etiquette after all, and it will not punish without teaching.

Therefore, a rumbling sound like thunder rang out over the entire sea surface, and even the sea water was shaken into ripples.

When Baron Keane and others were about to say something, they heard a rumbling sound coming from outside, which made their ears buzz.

"Listen, people in front, this is China's territorial waters, please stop and accept inspection."

"What's wrong? What's wrong? What happened?"

In an instant, everyone on the ship was frightened and ran to the deck in panic.

Such a loud noise, even if they all had some magic power, it must have come very close.

The enemy was getting close to them, so they were naturally frightened.

However, when they arrived at the deck and looked around, they did not see any ships.

"What happened? Did someone just shout?"

Baron Keane looked at some people on the deck.

"no!"

Everyone shook their heads.

"It seems to be coming from the northwest."

Someone looked at the vast sea with uncertainty.

Everyone looked towards the northwest, but found nothing.

Baron Keane frowned and instructed his men:

"Go, get the telescope!"

Keane held up the telescope and looked towards the northwest little by little.

"There's a boat!"

Through the telescope, Keane finally discovered two ships.

"Is that a ship from the Celestial Empire?"

"It should be, didn't you just say it's their territorial waters?

Isn’t this their Linhai?”

Since Keane was conducting business here, he naturally knew some of the Ming language.

"But it's so far away, we can hardly see any shadows now, how did the sound get here?"

"have no idea.

The East is mysterious to begin with. Who knows what mysterious abilities they have after the changes in heaven and earth? Maybe it's some Eastern witchcraft.

Regardless of that, what we need to consider now is whether we should stop."

"No, how could we stop just because they told us to?"

"No, no, no, I think we should stop. We have the latest artillery on our ship.

What's more, we have more than 20 ships here, while the other side has only two.

Maybe we can get some more merchandise.”

"Um"

Keane's eyes flickered, and he was obviously moved.

"My Lord Baron."

".Turn the rudder and move closer"

"it is good!"

They were heading towards each other, and since the Jiaolong was a steam-powered ship, the distance between the two sides was closing rapidly.

Gradually, Baron Keane and others could clearly see the two warships on the opposite side.

It was fully armored, with white smoke humming out of a chimney, and was much larger than their merchant ships.

"This"

Everyone couldn't help but look at each other.

This is truly a steel warship, and it doesn’t even have sails. I really don’t know what powers it. Is it also oriental witchcraft?

Baron Keane couldn't help but hesitate. Should he just go ahead and undergo the examination?

At this moment, someone beside him suddenly spoke:

"Maybe they just covered it with tin?

Besides, they only have two of them.

Baron, don't you want to obtain the technology of these warships of the Celestial Empire that can sail without sails?"

Keane turned his head and could see the heat in the man's eyes.

Yes, if they can bring this technology back home.

Then he would not only be a baron, but also an earl, marquis, or even a duke, which would not be impossible.

But he was still a little hesitant.

The Celestial Empire has such technology, can they defeat them?

As if noting his hesitation, another person spoke.

"The warriors on our ship all have magical powers.

Besides, they only have two warships, how many people can they carry? We have more than 20 ships, so we must have more people than them, right? "

"Well, let's do it! When we get closer, we'll just fire our artillery at them, then rush forward with witchcraft and kill those Chinese.

Then they seized their warships and returned to Spain.

By then, even if the Chinese find out, they won’t be able to do anything to us.”

As the saying goes, when the profit reaches 10%, they will be ready to move;

When the profit reaches 50%, they will take risks;

When profits reach 100%, they dare to trample on all human laws;

When profits reach 300%, they will dare to risk being hanged.

And now, the profit is more than 300%?

As for whether the Spaniards who stayed behind in Dongfanwei and other places would be retaliated by the Celestial Empire after they returned.

What does that have to do with him?

When the two sides got close enough, the size of the Jiaolong appeared even larger in comparison.

Keane and others felt more pressure and more excited.

"fire!"

"Boom boom boom"

In an instant, more than 20 merchant ships fired their cannons in succession, and iron balls and projectiles flew towards the Jiaolong.

"bang bang bang"

Some fell into the sea, creating a lot of waves, but some actually hit the Jiaolong.

However, it was directly bounced off, and only a fist-sized dent appeared on the steel plate of the warship.

Looking at the dent on the hull, the captain felt a hint of excitement in his anger.

Angry at these damn barbarians who dared to attack them on the territory of the Celestial Empire.

The excitement lies in the fact that they can also attack fiercely.

At the same time, you can also experiment with the special abilities of the Jiaolong.

The magical runes derived from the magical powers such as finger transformation and head extension can achieve the effect of repairing damaged items.

Naturally, the first place where magical runes like this are used is military facilities and equipment.

He placed his palm on the platform beside the rudder, and as the power in his body flowed, he quickly activated one of the runes.

"Om~!"

In an instant, runes glowed, and waves of power were drawn from the air and the steam boiler.

In an instant, mysterious rays of light spread rapidly, and the countless dents that were smashed quickly swelled up and recovered.

On the other side, after being attacked, Li Shu's face instantly turned cold. He originally wanted to demonstrate the etiquette of the Celestial Empire and then gain more spoils.

Now, let’s fight first.

As for the spoils.

Let’s talk about it then.

"All units, attention, fire!"

As the order was given, the two Jiaolong ships opened fire.

"Boom boom boom"

Shells were fired one after another instantly.

With the most advanced sight and the assisted locking of the supernatural power, there is basically no possibility of mistakes.

In an instant, several ships that were the primary targets exploded into flames.

The Jiaolong's shells are not comparable to ordinary shrapnel shells.

In a moment, the ships were engulfed in a sea of fire. Even the cabins were flooded and began to slowly sink.

Looking at these, Li Shu couldn't help but feel a little heartbroken. The money, treasures and other valuables here should have been their spoils of war.

He couldn't help but start cursing.

“These bastards hit me too hard.

Don't you know how to fight separately?"

On the other side, the flagship where Keane was located was the main target of attack.

When he came to his senses from the shock, he saw the entire ship slowly breaking apart in the middle and sinking rapidly.

Baron Keane, whose face was extremely gloomy, couldn't help but curse angrily.

"damn it!

Warriors of the Rich family, follow me.

Kill those damned Celestial Empire people, seize their warships, and you will be granted a title of nobility when you return.

kill! "

Magic power flowed in Keane's body and he shouted loudly.

The sound spread far away and could be heard clearly throughout the sea. Even the rumbling sound of the explosion could not cover it up.

Then, Keane quickly took off into the air and rushed towards the Jiaolong first.

At this time, other people who also mastered magic powers rose from the sky, stepped on the water, and rushed towards the Jiaolong.

"Split into pieces!"

"Burning flames!"

In an instant, countless energy lights of various colors shot towards the Jiaolong and Jiaolong 2.

"Eh~?"

Looking at this scene, Li Shu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Although he didn't know the power of these attacks, he immediately gave the order for safety reasons.

"Blue Dragon Army Formation!"

In an instant, rays of blue, purple, red and gold light rose from all parts of the Jiaolong, interweaving with each other with Li Shu as the core, and instantly transformed into a huge military formation.

"Ang~!"

Along with a dragon roar, a shadow of a green dragon appeared in the sky, and what remained was a red cloud intertwined with purple and gold light.

The azure glow represents the core power of the formation; the red represents the iron-blooded murderous spirit of the army; the gold represents the blessing of national destiny; and the purple represents the will of the people.

After the army formation was formed, the shadow of the green dragon suddenly cast down a green light, instantly covering the entire Jiaolong.

On the other side, Li Yu also evolved the military formation.

However, it was not the phantom of the green dragon, but a swimming dragon with five-colored light flowing.

But soon, the five-colored light on the dragon's body turned into darkness, and the vast water vapor in the boundless ocean evaporated and turned into a water light that enveloped Jiaolong No. 2.

At this time, the attacks of Baron Keane and others had also reached the Jiaolong.

"bang bang bang"

However, those attacks landed on the glorious barrier cast by the military soul, but only made a series of dull sounds, which quickly dissipated after causing ripples.

Seeing this scene, Li Shu, Li Yu and others couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Isn't this too bad?

They were just unable to break the instinctive defense formed by the military formation.

I'm afraid there's no way to cause much damage to the warship.

If they had known this earlier, they wouldn't have gone to so much trouble to form a military formation.
