Warpstone bombs are not easy to make. They require a large number of runes to stimulate the energy of the warpstone. The amount of energy stimulated determines the power of the warpstone bomb.
Warpstone is relatively stable under normal circumstances. It is not easy to stimulate its energy. It requires a complex stimulation device to convert its mass into energy.
But it is unstable, and the energy of chaos fluctuates disorderly. Warpstone also has the ability to absorb the eight magical winds and chaotic energy. Almost all warpstone bombs will release violent energy under physical impact.
This impact will in turn input energy into the excitation device, causing an explosion.
So... is there any way to improve it? Mirza was lost in thought.
The sound of even breathing came from the stern deck. While the engineering warlock Mirza was busy making warpstone bombs, he had already fallen asleep due to the overwhelming fatigue.
This didn't allow him to get a real rest. In ten minutes at most, he would need to continue working again.
Continuing to imprint the runes of activation and inactivity on the dimensional stone bomb, the brown-haired engineer warlock also felt mentally tired.
He blinked. Why did the white-haired engineering warlock have a weak flash of blue energy in his second vision? illusion? Or is there a hidden danger in Eski?
Mirza turned around and continued working on his work.
No matter what those pagan gods want to do, it is none of his business. He only needs to kill the heretic after Eski becomes a heretic. With the help of the Thirteen People Council, he may be able to obtain greater benefits. .
The warpstone bomb was quickly prepared. This was not the highly powerful version that was carefully made, but a version that was rushed to work in a short time.
Especially when he still needs to distract himself from adding static runes, the induction part is not done attentively enough.
According to the judgment of the brown-haired engineering warlock, the utilization rate of this bomb's dimension stone is only about 123%, and its power can only lift up a small hillside.
After carefully putting the thing into the shell case, Mirza checked the runes that Eski had left on the bottom shell and found that there seemed to be some that he didn't recognize at all.
At this moment, he subconsciously glanced at the front of the ship.
"Damn, this is it."
The brown-haired engineering warlock immediately sat up. Within the visual range of the observer, land actually appeared in front of him.
There is indeed something wrong with the navigation.
The engineering warlock immediately thought of this, and slapped the white-haired engineering warlock on the mouth with a paw.
"Turn, turn."
"There is land ahead."
However, the white-haired engineering warlock just struggled to open his eyes, but seemed unable to do so.
Mirza immediately opened his eyelids, leaving only the third eyelid that had not been opened, but this stimulation was enough to wake up the white-haired engineering warlock.
"I'll do it right away."
Rubbing his head, the white-haired engineering warlock subconsciously grabbed the scribe and looked at the "cannon". The barrel of the cannon was almost completely cut, and the falling iron filings turned into liquid metal and suspended in the air.
Eski leaned to the ground and stroked the bloody path that had been made with the slave rat's blood in the time since he had taken control of the ship.
"Sended."
As the engineering warlock closed his eyes and finished speaking, the sails immediately turned to the direction they should turn.
The entire turn took about thirty seconds, and the Elf's ship closed some distance again.
Then, they seemed to have discovered the Skavens' intention to turn, and immediately started to turn.
The four elves' ships had already opened a distance of about eight kilometers in pairs so that they could go in any direction.
"The distance is getting closer. The southernmost ship, we will be within range of it in twenty minutes."
The brown-haired engineer warlock said that only they who have observers can know the current situation in the distance.
The robe he was wearing began to be soaked with liquid that didn't know whether it was sea water or sweat. The brown-haired engineering warlock looked down at his clothes, and he just laughed at himself in his heart.
The hair under the clothes was probably tangled. It turns out that I would be frightened by this situation and want to urinate.
After all, there was no cannon fodder. Looking at the clan rats around him who had lost their weapons and armor, the brown-haired engineering warlock began to fall into deep thought.
"What am I going to do? Be an engineer. What are all the conspiracies and machinations for?"
He thought and murmured to himself.
Before the brown-haired engineering warlock could continue his revolving door, Eski pulled him towards the barrel and stroked the barrel that had been fully formed and fixed on the base.
"The barrel also needs to be engraved with reinforcement runes. You can do it. I only have enough time to complete the activation device at the bottom."
The white-haired engineering warlock said, taking the bottom magic circle carrier that the scribe had just made for him, and began to carve green Skaven destruction runes on it with his nails.
The elves' ships were approaching from the right front, and there was no room for error in the engraving of the runes. In order to fire the cannon as soon as possible, the clerk had begun to drill holes in the cannon barrel and deploy the energy supply device of the dimensional stone boiler.
When the intact excitation device enters the bottom of the barrel, the energy supply device is connected to it through the metal wind.
A circle of green runes has been painted on the barrel, and time does not allow for more painting.
Ten minutes have passed since just now, and there are only a few minutes left to enter the opponent's range.
Watching the elves' ships approaching, even the clan rats' eyesight was enough to see the clear silhouette of the sails.
Exuding the smell of fear, they quickly loaded the completed cannonballs into the cannon barrel, and adjusted the direction of the cannon barrel to a position that was raised thirty degrees and aimed at the sail.
Since the range has not been tested at all, this crude aiming method can only be used.
Putting his paw on the barrel of the cannon, the activating runes were ready, but Eski suddenly stopped.
He looked at Mirza. Mirza's clothes were even damper than before. This robe was no longer suitable for him to wear.
The white-haired engineering warlock spoke.
"Rat people all have a certain desire. I want to create my own civilization, and I can use any means."
"I know a man who wanted all his life to be more famous than Mosquita. Then, he got more knowledge and began to be cursed by knowledge."
"What about you, Mirza, isn't this what you were thinking about just now?"
A smile that seemed relieved and sarcastic appeared on the corner of Eski's mouth.
"If this shot fails, we will be doomed."
Mirza said, also putting his paws on the barrel, and then looked at Eski viciously.
"But I don't care, you know, Eski, I'm not afraid of my death, even though the fear makes my bladder almost full. I want it, higher than any of you weirdos. I'm just a The brown ones, the lowest ones, you black-and-white-grey-eyed bastards.”
Really, the humble dream is exactly the same as his humble status.
"Then let me tell you, this despicable low-level rat-man, that it is better to risk death than sit back and wait for death. This is the foundation of nobility. I'm going to fire."
A green light flashed by, and Eski closed his eyes. One minute before closing his eyes, he clearly saw the green light from the bottom barrel.
There was an explosion, not around him, at least there was no pain.
Wasn't it as wrong as he thought?
Opening your eyes, the scene in front of you is already green.
The purple-black battleship was now completely covered in green, with green flames, green liquid, green smoke clouds, and a green steam cloud drawn in the air when the cannonballs traveled through the air.
The superstructure was completely destroyed, but the ship was not completely torn apart, but it was still doomed.
Eski could already see the humanoid objects burned to a crisp by the green flames, and the items scattered on the ground that exuded magical aura.
The flames mixed with these chaotic energies are enough to burn everything on the sea.
"Did you see what just happened?"
Esky asked his colleagues around him that he had just made a mistake. The observer was enough to prevent the flash from causing any damage to his eyes.
So much so that now, he doesn't know what happened just now.
The brown-haired engineering warlock didn't respond, and the white-haired engineering warlock asked his question urgently.
"Why didn't the whole ship blow up? Aren't the warpstone bombs you made powerful enough?"
A warpstone bomb of sufficient weight is enough to blow up anything in this world, including Nagash's black pyramid, as long as its reaction level is sufficient.
Even though the warpstone bomb was made by Ict Claw, and the maker of this one was only Mirza, its power would not be reduced to the point where it could not even explode the hull of a ship. degree.
This was something he had specifically certified. Even if it was simply made, it would be dozens of times more powerful than a cyclone explosive.
The brown-haired engineering warlock still didn't speak.
Esky did not intend to continue to ask about the specific reasons. They could no longer sit idle like this.
"There's another boat, and we need a cannonball."
He supported his body with his halberd and took the cannonball sample handed over by the clerk. He could do this slowly. In any case, both sides were traveling at the same speed.
The one just now was the only ship that could possibly catch up with them directly.
As for the one on his north side, the nearest one can only catch up to a distance of four kilometers before being left behind.
The runes in his hands were engraved. Due to his previous experience, the movements of his lower claws became faster and more accurate, which increased the speed of completion a lot.
"Don't be silent. Do something. Reinforce the bottom of the barrel. I thought it was going to be damaged just now."
Eski slapped Mirza's tail on the tail of Mirza who suddenly exuded the smell of fear.
"They have shields. I've never seen a shield that can protect an entire ship, and it's that far away."
Pointing at the ship that was being swallowed by green flames, Mirza spoke, but his voice was a little hoarse.
As he spoke, he pointed to another boat.
"It was released by that ship. The energy came from there, purple-black energy."
The white-haired engineer warlock looked in the direction pointed by the brown-haired claws and saw the largest and most rounded ship in the distance.
It does look like a mage's vehicle.
What a nice boat.
Esky sighed inwardly.
If the boat beneath my feet could be considered Helena, that thing would be Iowa.
"A mage with pointy ears is not invincible."
The white-haired rat said sharply.
"We only need one shell to destroy their motivation, and they will not be able to catch up with us. Don't you want to be higher than us black and white? If you die here, you will be nothing."
Without stopping, the shell of the cannonball was nearly completed, leaving only the warpstone bomb to be loaded.
The ships behind were clear enough that the faces of the elves behind the gun windows could be seen through the observer, which meant that the elves behind them were already close to a position of four kilometers.
The white-haired rat then yelled at the brown-haired rat.
"I tell you, I am the white-haired rat, and I am the will of the horned rat. I order you to continue working for me."
Then a whip struck the clerk.
"Clerk, check if the excitation device is broken?"
The powerful green light that was visible through the barrel just now, judging from the experience of the engineering warlock, the components at the bottom of the barrel must be almost damaged.
Already ready to make one again.
Fortunately, there was still a lot of time, and the elf was still four kilometers behind and could not catch up with them.
"Heaven, there is something in the sky."
Captain Stormvermin shouted.
The green flames on the sea provided more light sources for the ratman's night vision, and even he could clearly see the black shadows rising from the elves' ships.
"Is it a harpy, or something else."
Looking at this spectacular number, the white-haired rat man immediately thought of a certain branch of the dark elves.
If you look closely, you will see that they are indeed women-like things with distorted faces and sharp teeth in their mouths.
Their bodies are actually very hard, not as soft as they appear on the outside. According to records, their skin and flesh are as hard as steel, giving them extraordinary speed and agility.
These creatures are actually a type of beastman, a product of chaos. It is normal for them to appear here. After all, the dark elves always like to train some strange things.
For example, in history, in order to supplement the shortage of labor in the New World, the dark elves captured a group of greenskins and tried to tame them.
"Their flying speed is not slow."
Eski observed the harpies who were gliding in the air using their wings and fanning to maintain altitude. It wouldn't be long before they could approach the ship.
However, engineering warlocks never have ways to deal with these things.
"Dimensional wind roar!"
Gale winds and lightning composed of chaotic energy suddenly covered the sky.
It is the combination of the great horned rat's divine power and the energy of chaos. Storms can appear anywhere, even in the center of the earth.
However, this storm only killed some harpies, and ended as abruptly as it appeared.
The white-haired engineering warlock frowned.
What we did just now was not to stop the great horned rat's divine power. The opponent's mage definitely did not have this ability. It was to stop the supply of chaos energy and use more chaotic chaos energy to break everything.
The opponent's use of chaotic energy is superior to his.
