Magic Underachiever

Today, the weather in the sea area of ​​​​Budong Island is very good, with a cool sea breeze, large white clouds, and seabirds flying across the sea, catching a sea fish with just a touch on the water.

The island's only harbor has been busy since morning.

An order has been sent from the Scarab Company headquarters that all the company's magic potential activating potion factories should operate at full capacity to produce the fourth generation magic potential activating potion. The raw materials for pharmaceutical production are sent to the pharmaceutical factory by ship, and the pharmaceutical produced by the factory will also be loaded onto the ship and transported away.

As well as the living expenses of the workers and troops on the island, all need to be supplied by sea.

Piesman is the director of Scarab Company's Butong Island production area. While managing the pharmaceutical factory, he also serves as the top officer of the company's army on the island. At this time, he was in the tower on the top floor of the port lighthouse, looking at the sea in the distance, where the Butong Island Fleet was cruising from north to south.

The thick chimney in the middle of the battleship was billowing white smoke upwards, and the combined artillery pieces at the bow and stern pointed vigilantly at the sea diagonally ahead.

In the sky, the silver wings drew a long white trail against the blue background. A formation of five Silver Wings flew past the Butong Island Fleet.

Piesman has a very strong build, and his double-breasted military uniform looks like an inverted triangle on his body. His service in the army left a hideous scar on his neck. Originally, that kind of injury could have killed him, but he was taken away by the Scarab Company when he was about to die.

Then he was lucky enough to survive the genetic modification of the human body.

Piesman is very grateful to the Supremes of Scarab Company. They not only saved him, but also gave him powers he had never imagined before. Since then, Piesman was appointed as the supervisor of the Butong Island Pharmaceutical Factory, a job he held for more than ten years.

The military's rigor has ensured that there has never been an accident on the island managed by Piesman. All ships sailing here were discovered and expelled by him in advance, leaving Butong Island hidden from the world's sight to produce the most important magical potential activation potion for the Scarab Company.

Seeing the Butong Island fleet cruising for a week, Busman picked up the radio and said to the fleet commander: "Report on the situation of this cruise... What the headquarters asked us to salvage should be very important. Don't let anything on the sea escape." Your realization.”

The voice of the fleet commander came quickly: "Director Busman...this is the UP231 destroyer. We have just completed a 12-nautical-mile cruise with Butong Island as the center.

During the entire cruise, no surface vessels were sighted.

The air squadron also found no aircraft.

We are surrounded by water...

What is that? Something is coming up...very big...is it a whale?

What's the mast?

Director Busman! We spotted a sailboat rising out of the sea...it was still rising...oh my god!

It...it flew!

It's an aerial battleship, an aerial fighter plane from the ancient magic era! Damn it, how could I encounter an aerial battleship here? It has raised its sails and there are people on it!

alert! alert!

Director Busman, did you see it? This air and space battleship seems to be very unfriendly, we need support... Please send support as soon as possible..."

Then the communication channel became a "rustling" busy tone, and the tower lost contact with the fleet.

Busman threw away the radio walkie-talkie and immediately picked up the telescope and looked in the direction of the fleet, and then he saw what the fleet commander said was an aerospace battleship.

The dark three-masted warship was suspended above the side of the Butong Island fleet, and the water brought out by the floating hull fell back into the sea along the ship wall like a waterfall. At this time, white cloud sails were rising on the three masts, and in the middle of the cloud sails was a black flame.

This is a battleship that can fly in the air, a great alchemical work that only exists in the legends of ancient ruins.

Now, such an aerial battleship is floating on the sea next to Butong Island.

"***...how could an aerial battleship appear..." Piesman couldn't help but uttered a curse word when he saw the aerial battleship. After seeing the aerial battleship adjust the angle of the hull, open the gun doors and handle the After the black muzzle was pushed out, he immediately shouted to his subordinates in the tower: "Use the signal light to contact the Boudon fleet and ask them to retreat to the port while defending.

A war alert was issued and all military personnel on Butong Island immediately entered combat positions.

Forts everywhere monitor the sea to prevent enemies from attacking from other directions.

All airships took off, and the Silver Wings were on standby... The 4th Silver Wings Squadron went to pick up the Butong Island fleet back to port, and the 5th Silver Wings Squadron conducted a rapid reconnaissance of the fifty nautical mile sea area.

…

Allow non-combatants to enter shelters.

Report the situation here to headquarters..."

As Piesman's order was issued quickly, the communications personnel in the tower immediately issued instructions one after another through various methods.

The piercing sirens instantly spread throughout the island.

Accompanied by sirens and a series of roars from the distant sea...the shelling has begun!

Watching water jets splashing on the sea around the Butong Island fleet, Piesman said calmly to his panicked subordinates: "Stay calm... At present, only one enemy aerial battleship has been found. Although in the ancient magic era, the aerial battleship The Sky Battleship is extremely powerful, but that doesn't change the fact that it is a wooden sailboat.

Moreover, their guns are also backward front-loading smoothbore guns. These guns are so weak that they cannot penetrate the armor of destroyers and have been eliminated by us long ago.

We have five battleships, airships, silver wings, and all kinds of anti-aircraft firepower.

No matter who digs out this aerial battleship from the ancient ruins, it is impossible for him to break through our defense circle. If he really dares to attack Scarab Company's Butong Island, then our record will include the shooting down of an aerial battleship.

This ship has our chance to become famous, because we are facing a weapon that was built more than two thousand years ago..."

When Peaceman comforted his subordinates, he also comforted himself, and then began to look forward to shooting down an aerial battleship.

No matter how great the alchemy of the ancient magic age was, how much function an aerial battleship could retain after more than two thousand years of corrosion, and even being able to fly was already considered a miracle.

Moreover, due to the problem of flight load, most aerial warships in the ancient magic era used light and strong wood as materials, and no matter how strong the wood was, it was not as good as steel. After alchemical enchantment, the wooden hull may be able to withstand the firing of smoothbore cannons with a range of only a kilometer, but it will definitely not be able to withstand the attacks of artillery with a range of more than ten kilometers or dozens of kilometers.

The aerial battleship is definitely not as good as the current ironclad in terms of conventional firepower. It is powerful because it is a magic release platform, and in this era... who can bring out the magical power of an aerial battleship.

No!
