Cyberzaun, Machinarium

There were very few sailors on these two ships, but there were a lot of metal skeletons. It seemed that his method of inciting rebellion would not work.

Sighing, Sarah gently knocked on the captain's room and said, "Captain, sailor Sarah and doctor Raven want to see you."

No one answered, but the door opened automatically. The captain was sitting at his desk, drinking cocoa sip by sip, while the female executioner was lying comfortably on the sofa, pouring wine into her mouth.

"Welcome, my sailors." Jinx jumped up from the sofa with a smile, walked a few steps behind the two men, and injected injection guns into their necks.

"Now you are under the little finger's protection"

Chapter 148 A Plan to Kill Two Birds with One Stone

Sarah rubbed her stinging neck and stared warily at the injection gun that Jinx had just thrown on the table. "What is that?"

"Well, I call it an alarm clock. It will ring when I need it." The girl smiled and picked up the tablet from the map. "Look here." She pointed to the two graffiti on the screen. "This is Miss Pirate and Mr. Doctor. I can see where you are, so be honest. You don't want the little alarm clock to make a noise."

"Now, I remind you that if you try to escape, you will die; if you make a small move, you will die; if you make me unhappy, you will still die. Do I understand?"

"Yes, sir." Sarah raised her eyebrows and calmly ran her fingertips along the sofa, deftly bypassing the aggressive Jinx, and walked to the drawing table and leaned next to Enoch. "So, my dear Captain, what should I do to please you?"

"Tell me about the Soul-Eating Night and how to meet the sea beast priest." Throwing a bottle of rum over, Enoch was very interested in the woman's warning.

"No one knows exactly when it will come. Usually the Baju priests bring warnings, and then within less than a week, the dead people will appear. In other words, after the Baju priests gave the warning the day before yesterday, you can see those ghost things in four days at most." Biting open the bottle cap, Sarah took a big gulp. The overflowing foam and wine slid down the corners of the woman's mouth and wet her newly changed shirt.

"This stuff is too nasty to drink, like vinegar soaked in sea water, don't you have anything better?" Sarah complained, throwing the empty bottle aside and stretching the collar of her shirt, with the top button bursting open. "Also, don't you have any light clothes? We are at sea, not at a party, there is no need to dress so formally."

"If you feel it's inappropriate, how about I ask you to take another bath?" Before Enoch could say anything, Jinx interrupted Sarah while lying on the sofa.

"I think I'm fine the way I am now, don't I?" Sarah smiled and sat cross-legged on the chart table, turning to look at Enoch. "What are you going to do next, Captain~"

"Half a year ago, a group of pirates attacked Zaun's coastline. Do you have any clues?"

“Ah, you must be talking about the Hook Gang. They did something big. They booked the May Kiss for a week. Everyone in Bilgewater knows they made a fortune.” Miss Fortune combed her long red hair and looked strange. “Did you go to such great lengths to deal with these pirates?”

"This is not your concern." Enoch threw the map of Bilgewater to the woman's hand. "Mark out the map you know..."

"Yes, sir." He gently brushed the extremely detailed map. "I have to give you a suggestion. If you plan to meet with the priest of the bearded lady normally, you have to change the way of communication." Sarah said meaningfully, "At least you can't greet her directly with artillery shells like you did with my baby."

Miss Fortune sat awkwardly at the table, drawing and talking. "The temple of Baru is on the northernmost archipelago. There are only believers and fishermen there, not many other people. To the west is the Slaughterhouse Docks, Gangplank's territory, the most profitable place in Piltover. Further east is basically the pirate base. The specific location depends on who wins the fight that day. Apart from the flags hanging on the houses, I can't tell whose territory it is."

However, since you want to cause trouble for the Hook Gang, you can try fishing with a merchant ship, but you have to wait until the Haunting Night is over. Now many captains have left the station, and there are only a few sailors to look after the house, or..."

Turning the pen lightly, Sarah wisely did not continue talking, but just smiled. She was waiting for the girl lying next to her to jump out and cause trouble, so that she could cover up her plan.

"Or what? If you can't speak, I can help you fix your tongue." Sure enough, the impulsive little girl took the bait.

Smiling confidently, Sarah showed her charm to the greatest extent. "Perhaps our captain can attack the slaughter dock... That place is the slaughterhouse for sea beasts. Those priests never go there, so there is no need to worry about accidental injuries. If this place is destroyed, Gangplank will gather all his men to teach those who offended him a lesson. The Iron Hook Gang will definitely appear here as well."

"Sounds good," Enoch nodded, "So, I wonder what Miss Sarah will get? You seem to be more anxious than I am."

"What can I get?" Sarah smiled. "Maybe the captain will have a pirate king as his lover?"

Enoch sneered, looked at the freshly baked Bilgewater power distribution map, tapped the table for a while, and waved at the woman, "I'll think about it, go and have a rest."

"Yes, Captain." Miss Fortune grabbed the rum bottle beside her and winked at Enoch. "I look forward to your private summons tonight."

"I'm beginning to regret not killing her." Jinx lay still on the sofa. "Do you need me to keep watch for you when you ask her to serve you at night?"

"What nonsense!" Enoch snorted, "Help me look at the map, what do you think we should do?"

"How should I know? Isn't it usually you who makes the decisions?"

"That's true, but Miss Fortune's suggestion is similar to my plan... So I'm a little worried that something might go wrong."

"Problem? Is there anything in this place that Behemoth can't solve?"

"You're right. Notify all ships to proceed normally towards Bilgewater. Send out drones to scout the direction of Shadow Island. We'll decide which place to attack first based on the situation when they arrive."

"That's right, let's go all out"

After a simple correction, the Behemoth battleship continued to move towards the western port of Bilgewater. If nothing unexpected happened, she would appear in the port accompanied by thick fog in the early morning, giving the pirates a huge surprise.

In order to give a surprise to these bugs that often came to harass them, the sailors tacitly turned off the searchlights and continued to move forward in silence. Except for the sonar and radar that were still running, the whole ship was unusually quiet.

However, drones would take off from the platform behind the ship from time to time, conducting dynamic surveillance in the direction of Shadow Island.

Miss Fortune gathered a group of rotating sailors in the restaurant for a drinking contest. The average quality rum was consumed quickly, and the former pirate easily got the merchant sailors drunk. She was also very smart and got what she wanted.

"Ah, Captain... I think he is the boss of the largest company in Zaun. Oh, sorry, it should be called the Lower Town now. I can't make a mistake, otherwise those blue shoulder badges will cause trouble." The sailor burped and staggered on the bench.

"How did a boss become a captain?"

"How should I know? Just look at what the big shot thinks. Do you know what he does?" The man suddenly lowered his voice, speaking mysteriously, but before anyone else could talk to him, he burst into laughter again, "He's an arms dealer, of course he has to kill people, hahahaha."

"Enemy attack!!"

Chapter 149: Revelers of the Soul-Eating Night

The sudden alarm woke everyone up. Sailors, wherever they were, took their positions according to the drill and put on life suits, even though they felt that the battleship under their feet did not need such things. Nothing could defeat this unsinkable battleship.

The ship's flares also rose quickly, illuminating the nearby sky, and searchlights searched around the sea level in an attempt to find any trace of the enemy.

"Where is the attack coming from?" The door of the captain's room opened suddenly, and Jinx and Enoch walked into the command room one after another. They saw that there was no movement in the radar feedback, and there was nothing unusual in the sonar except for clutter.

"So where did the enemy attack alert come from?" Enoch flipped through the documents handed to him by the second mate. If the instrument display was correct, the nearby sea area was as quiet as a sleeping baby.

"Report, the drone has discovered that black fog is spreading rapidly near the Southern Shadow Island. It is expected to contact our ship within 1 hour."

"An hour... How far are we from Bilgewater?"

"The flight is expected to take more than 3 hours."

"So, we're stuck between Bilgewater and the Shadow Isles." After taking a sip of the coffee handed to him by Jinx, Enoch looked at First Mate Bona who was planning the route. He was curious about how he was taking the blame for Bilgewater.

"Well, because we need to sail silently at night, I calculated the shortest route. I didn't expect that we would encounter the Soul-Eating Night..."

"You didn't expect it. This is a great reason. What do you think the two Bilgewater pirates I left behind are for?" Enoch was completely disappointed with the people he hired. He hoped that they would not do anything stupid again.

"My advice," Sarah leaned against the door of the captain's room, "turn around immediately and run as far away as you can. The Harrowing's target is Bilgewater, so avoid it if you can."

"Thank you for your advice. How did you get here?" Enoch raised his eyebrows and looked at the woman who rarely looked serious.

"I'm not kidding," Sarah said firmly, "Listener, I know you don't believe me, but we are on the same ship now, and I don't want to be in trouble with you, so run quickly and run as far as you can before those dead guys notice you."

"So you're finally willing to express your opinion now? That's great, it means we've finally made some progress." Enoch answered the question irrelevantly. He had just asked Jinx to wait on the tarmac. No matter what, there was always a way out.

“I beg you, please, just leave this sea area as soon as possible. The light is too bright. Maybe they have already discovered you.” Miss Fortune rarely showed her feminine charm. She just wanted to pry open this idiot’s head and see what he was capable of.

"Calm down. I'm replanning the route. If you have any good suggestions, please bring them up as soon as possible. I'll try to accept them humbly. If nothing goes wrong, we still have about an hour. As long as we don't run into the troops hiding among the dead, Behemoth can handle it." Enoch handed the scale in his hand to Miss Fortune. "I did some intelligence gathering before I came here. I'm prepared for the worst case scenario."

Pulling the chart over, Sarah seemed to have returned to her most comfortable place, easily planned a route, and threw it to the first mate who was watching the show. "I hope your preparations are really that perfect."

Enoch chuckled twice and didn't refute. He just made a gesture towards the rudder and said, "Let me see how fast you can make her go."

………………

The Shadow Isles was originally an island belonging to wise men and scholars. They once again studied magic, delved into arcane power, and achieved advanced results in order to change the world.

This was considered a pure land at the time. The island had the largest library at that time, and the only place that could try to compare with it was Shurima.

However, a crazy and broken soul came to the island as a king, "I command you, do as I say." The king was so desperate just to pray for pitiful hope.

The mad king made the biggest mistake. The cold corpse came into contact with the spring water that should not be touched. The blurred boundary between life and death burst out with cold energy, forever changing Fulgrim Island. No one knew what King Kamavia had done, but they and their monarch were swept away by the energy and fell into the boundary between life and death, suffering in pain.

The wandering dead spirits keep trying to touch the faint traces of their lives. The island is now left with only madness and silence. The souls wander in sorrow, and nightmares are the constant theme of this island.

The corpse keepers, missionaries, cavalrymen, or the elves on the island have all had their forms distorted. They wantonly spread terror just to prevent the crazy souls from being broken again.

Until one day, they were pleasantly surprised to find that the black fog on which they relied for movement had quietly expanded. Their crazy souls burst into shocking joy when they once again touched the cold sea water. It was time to share this frantic silence with the living.

Death gave them nothing but time, and took away everything but madness.

Decades, hundreds of years, thousands of years, it makes no difference to the crazy creatures. They wait patiently for the souls of the living, and then swallow their blindly running prey like toads.

As the black fog spread, they finally landed on the second piece of land besides Shadow Island. After devouring the souls of the fishermen who were caught off guard, these manic souls found a new goal. They allowed the energy of the curse to spread throughout the world, and they indulged in a revelry in the terrifying night that everyone was terrified of.

Whenever the black fog spreads, Karthus, Hecarim, and Thresh will lead their enthusiasm and head towards the land of the living. Whether they are pious, cruel, or cunning, they will all briefly satisfy their desires that night.

This year's Harrowing is no exception. Ever since the cunning Hecarim killed his previous commander and took charge of the Iron Order, he has been inseparable from his horse. When the curse of the Blessed Isles broke out, he finally got his wish and merged with his horse, and a twisted monster was born. Perhaps this is exactly what he wanted, because in this way he can lead his subordinates to charge forward forever.

Without waiting for the other two souls to hesitate and pretend, Hecarim took the lead in charging, he was already impatient.

As for the poor fools he met on the way in their stupid little boats wandering on the sea, he always regarded it as a surprise, yes, a delicious and tempting appetizer before dinner.

Unfortunately, the number of ships wandering around in this kind of weather became fewer and fewer, until they disappeared. This made Hecarim very sad, but it was only for a moment. After he drained the water of an unlucky guy hiding under the awning, his mood was full of passion again.

There is always more killing waiting for him in this world.

However, maybe this time Hecarim can find some new snacks. Looking at the lights suddenly rising in the quiet night in the distance, he is full of fun. Let's take a detour. This is a rare activity.

"charge"

Chapter 150: Hecarim's Impact

"It looks like you didn't get us to a safe place." Enoch looked at the images from the drone.

The dead bodies were indistinguishable under the infrared camera, but the low-light camera captured them clearly. The lines drawn by the green-lighting things on the sea were too easy to identify.

"Shut your stupid mouth and stay aside. Don't disturb me while I'm working." Sarah rarely put down her usual disguise and reacted immediately like a rabbit roasted by fire.

Obviously, she couldn't care less about her dependent status. She couldn't care less about the brainless young man next to her who couldn't see the situation clearly. As long as she wasn't caught up by the privates behind her, she would rather clean the sailor's toilet with her own hands.

"I'm just reminding you that your method doesn't work very well." Enoch gently adjusted the detection screen and pointed at the huge light spot on it. "This is an energy detection lens, a newly designed trial product, but it's obvious that a leader is eyeing us."

"No need to repeat the bad news over and over again. I get it. Now make some room for me." Sarah didn't even look around and turned the direction, causing a large number of waves on the calm sea. She was now considering where to hide so as to deceive these dead guys.

"What I mean is that your method is useless. Now it's my way." Enoch unbuttoned the sleeves of his suit, lifted Sarah's hand that was tightly clenched on the rudder, and slowly manipulated the hull to form a T-shaped angle with the attacking undead.

"You're crazy." Miss Fortune began to consider changing her nickname. The crazy woman was right. This unlucky nickname could really bring bad luck to herself.

"I'm just solving a problem." The propeller at the stern stopped working, and as the ship slowly slowed down, the energy from the engine room was transferred to the protective cabin, and the turret also slowly turned, ready to greet these half-dead guys.

………………

Hecarim felt that today was his lucky day. Whether in life or after death, even the day he became the leader of the Iron Order was not as exciting as today.

After all, that was something he had painstakingly planned for many years, and today this beautiful ship was a complete surprise. The steel warship of astonishing length was quietly nestling on the water, and the raised bow easily cut through the waves from the sea. Looking at the shape, it looked like a girl lying on the water to rest.

It was rare that Hecarim decided to rush onto the ship himself and mercifully transform everyone into his own undead. This battleship should be his own collection.

Waving the huge and strange lance in his hand, he led all the cavalry to speed up again and rushed towards the ship with a faint blue light. He wanted to finish this as soon as possible because he still had to rush to the city full of pirates to collect fresh tribute.

The team pulled out an exaggerated arrow and ran rapidly on the water. The green light of the ghosts on their bodies drew a long stream of light and crashed into it fiercely.

The ship was not damaged. Instead, Hecarim hit a tough surface and was thrown to one side. Several fragile ghosts following him were even shattered by the barrier due to the high speed.

Because the impact was too violent. The blue light gradually became condensed, and began to spread outwards little by little from the point of impact. Following this light, Hecarim discovered that the ship extended upward from the central bridge, and then dispersed outwards at a certain height, like an eggshell that tightly held the ship.

"This is my solution. Before coming here, I collected some intelligence from Demacia. The shield of this battleship has been modified according to the energy characteristics emitted by the Holy Stone... Report the damage."

Enoch slowly took a sip of black tea, and stood on the observation deck, watching with satisfaction the group of people being thrown to the ground. It seemed that everything was normal, so he didn't have to slip to the rear deck, and Jinx, who was on standby in the helicopter, could relax.

"You already have a plan, and then you just watch me, your sister, running around in a panic?" Seeing this effect, Sarah also relaxed, loosened her hands that were tightly holding the railing, and returned to her usual lazy and mature appearance. "What a naughty little handsome boy."

"I'm not much older than you, so don't call me so intimately." Enoch felt helpless. Isn't this woman tired?

“Really?” Miss Fortune looked her up and down. “I can’t believe you looked that way. I thought you looked like that little girl. No wonder you’re indifferent to your sister. It turns out you like the younger one.”

Ignoring the multiple meanings in Miss Fortune's words, Enoch took another sip of the tea while it was still hot. The sea seemed a little too cold at night. He wondered how the woman next to him, who was only wearing a shirt, managed to survive.

"Report, shield integrity is 92%, the energy room is operating normally, the shield is slowly being repaired, everything is in normal condition."

"Very good," Enoch nodded, stuffed the empty cup into Miss Fortune's arms, and walked towards the bridge. "Now let the weapons warm up and pay attention to collecting data. We are about to start testing."

Hecarim swore that he would destroy this thing and tear the pretty boy up there into pieces. He leaped up from the sea in anger and scraped the translucent film lightly with his lance. As the tip of the lance touched the barrier, it showed ugly radial patterns like burnt skin, but disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Looking at the normally flowing sea water, Hecarim turned around suddenly and started galloping again with the twisted team behind him. When the cavalrymen regained their majesty again, Hecarim swung his spear downward suddenly, and the team rushed to the bottom of the sea.

Not long after, the green undead returned to the surface of the sea, but Hecarim's twisted metal face did not look very happy.

"Report, impact detected again, shield integrity 91% detected that the bottom shield was hit, it is judged that the opponent has collided again."

Enoch nodded, not caring about the opponent's actions. If the opponent was interested, he could keep attacking. The 12 large Hextech engines on the ship were running alternately. It was not a temporary shield held up by the mage. He had plenty of time to fight him. When the time came, the opponent just didn't want to bother and run away.

"When will the battery be ready?" Enoch was a little bored. The suit and tie looked good, but it was not a good choice after being blown in the sea breeze for a while.

"The two main turrets are ready and the deck is being cleared. The magic turret is still being warmed up. Since this is the first time firing while sailing at sea, we are still checking the parameters." The gunner was a little embarrassed. What kind of situation is it for a battleship to be unable to fire for a long time? It would be embarrassing if it got out.

"It doesn't matter. Let the kinetic shield make room for the artillery fire in advance. Let the artillery fire when ready. While the enemy is limited in numbers, we can test advanced kinetic weapons. They have been attacking for so long, so we should reciprocate."
