Chapter 900: Chapter 721, Hundred Soldiers Shawl (One update today). Chapter 900: Chapter 721, Hundred Soldiers Shawl (One update today). The car door opened.
Wu Heng stepped out of the carriage, accompanied by two skeleton attendants.
They had now arrived at Cock-Tail Island, which was dotted with a few scattered trees.
When Wu Heng first arrived, the island served more as a rest and ambush site for the Pirate Group.
After all, being close to the shipping lane, one could spot passing merchant ships from the island.
Now, pirates were nearly gone from the Emerald Sea, except for a few that roamed around its periphery.
As a testing ground, it was quite suitable.
He released three ghosts, which floated above his head.
“Cock-Tail Island, are we here to test out some cannons?” Xiao Xiao looked around and asked casually.
“Electromagnetic Cannon, when you abbreviate it like that, it loses all sense of technological sophistication,” Wu Heng commented, watching her.
“Hehe!” Xiao Xiao giggled mischievously, then suddenly flew over and perched on his shoulder, staying silent.
Glenda continued, “Have you figured out how to test it? We've prepared a scrapped ship in advance as a target.”
Wu Heng shook his head, “No need for that. We can simply attack Cock-Tail Island from the sea. After all, it's a deserted island, and a ship wouldn't show its power.”
Ships in this world were not very sturdy.
Just a few shots from a machine cannon could tear a wooden vessel apart, so testing the Electromagnetic Cannon on them wasn't very meaningful.
Besides, the recorded range of the Electromagnetic Cannon was 150 kilometers. If they were to use a ship at sea as a target, it would be invisible to the naked eye, and without satellites or radar for assistance, hitting the target would be difficult.
Better to just shoot at this small island directly.
It seemed right to Glenda, who nodded in agreement.
Wu Heng took several pirate flags and two buckets of lime powder out of the Space Ring, “Go make a clear mark on the hill in front, and make it large. Plant these flags too.”
Skeletons carrying lime powder climbed onto a distant hillside and drew a huge circle with a cross in the middle.
The pirate flags were also casually planted in the center of the circle.
Once everything was prepared, Wu Heng took out a Flying Carpet and, along with the skeletons, flew towards the open sea.
On the other side of Cock-Tail Island.
On the Dragon Trafficking Team's fleet.
The man pondered for a moment before softly reminding the Leader, “Boss, Gold and Silver Island belong to the Association, and we're also collaborating with Gold and Silver Island.”
The Leader said nothing, his gaze still fixed ahead.
The man continued, “Boss, I also heard that Gold and Silver Island is equipped with machinery provided by the Association, capable of demolishing ships from a distance. All the pirates in the Emerald Sea were wiped out like this. We should really find out what's going on before we anger them.”
“Hmph! Ridiculous machinery. If the Association really had such things, would they let pirates thrive for so long? It's nothing more than a bluff to intimidate those nearby,” scoffed the Leader.
He was about to reach level 18 and was increasingly understanding this world.
The disappearance of the Emerald Sea's pirates was most likely because they had angered the high-level professionals of the Association, who then killed all the foolish robbers that attacked ships on sight.
In the end, they left a human child to guard Gold and Silver Island.
They fabricated the rumors of powerful machinery to deter the rest.
While they were talking.
From the lookout above the mast, the sailor's voice came, “Approaching Cock-Tail Island ahead.”
Looking up to the front, a small island came into view.
“Move closer.”
The Leader ordered, and the crew began to bustle.
The fleet slowly approached Cock-Tail Island.
Out at sea.
Wu Heng rode the Flying Carpet, gazing at Cock-Tail Island in the distance, which had become a tiny speck of light.
But with his body enhanced, his vision had greatly improved as well.
Even from such a distance, by focusing, he was able to spot the position marked by the lime powder, though the pirate flags planted in the ground were hard to distinguish from the trees.
After confirming the situation, Wu Heng gestured with his hand, and [Mansion Skill] unfolded.
Behind the massive stone gate was the fully assembled Electromagnetic Cannon.
Alongside sat a skeleton.
“Prepare the projectile for the island ahead,” Wu Heng ordered directly.
The [Mansion Skill] opened in the air, and the skeleton inside took out the prepared projectile, loading it into the Electromagnetic Cannon.
The skeleton was personally selected by Wu Heng.
Its profession was 'Level 12 Sentinel,' possessing traits like [Long-distance Shooting], [Precise Positioning], and [Fixed Target Hunting].
After Wu Heng picked it, it took up the position of cannon operator.
Adjusting its aim, it targeted the distant island.
Wu Heng glanced at the Electromagnetic Cannon, then back at the distant island, and commanded, “Ready to fire at any time.”
The moment the order was given, the skeleton activated the Electromagnetic Cannon.
A sound resembling a powering up noise emerged, and the machinery behind the Electromagnetic Cannon worked intensely.
Whoosh–Boom!
A dull roar approached.
The projectile traced its path, rapidly shooting forth.
The surrounding air was torn apart, and a powerful shockwave spread outwards.
Boom!
Another roar came from afar, though not as deafening as the launch itself due to the distance.
The projectile successfully hit the island, and a huge cloud of dust rose into the sky. The entirety of Cock-Tail Island seemed to tremble for a moment.
The surrounding sea was whipped up into a giant wave that spread out in all directions.
“Such power?” Glenda's eyes widened.
“Wow, a sandstorm!” Xiao Xiao also exclaimed in amazement, coming out with this phrase all of a sudden.
Bella looked just as surprised.
Such a significant effect from that far away.
It was no longer an issue of just smashing ships; it was a fear that nothing would be left but debris.
Seeing the Electromagnetic Cannon successfully fired and hit its target, Wu Heng's face also showed a hint of delight.
