Pirate: My Piltover technology is far ahead!

Chapter 9 "War" begins

Dreams are one of the most prominent topics on this vast ocean.

Due to the limitations of the island environment, many people never see the world outside the island in their entire lives. Even before the Great Pirate Era arrived, many people set sail every year with hopes for the future.

These people are not all pirates, but the World Government can define any ship that sets sail without permission as a pirate.

Wealth and fame, besides being products of ordinary desires, can also give rise to some ideas that seem abnormal to ordinary people.

For example, Kate's desire to be the most evil, and that particular logic.

This was also the first time Kate had expressed her own thoughts.

She had no friends among the slaves because of her race, and the doctor in Zou had also sentenced her.

In the isolated living environment of Zou, the few doctors have a lot of influence.

This is roughly equivalent to someone in a Mayan tribe who has been deemed beyond saving by a priest; the environment would make the patient believe that the priest's assessment was a fait accompli.

Not long after leaving Zou, she was captured by the slave team. She had little knowledge of the outside world and therefore never believed that anyone could change things.

She's bringing these things up now simply so they don't disappear into obscurity along with her. At least in her eyes, Oran still bears the label of a good person.

"Fill your stomach first. A person who starves to death can't achieve any dreams, let alone your goal, which is quite difficult."

The definition of good and bad is based on the socially recognized moral order and personal cognition. Kate's idea, in other words, is to eliminate all evil for the sake of absolute justice, which is difficult to achieve.

Not to mention the sheer audacity of individual fighters on this vast sea.

After a brief chat to ascertain Kate's current mental state, the group split up again. The able-bodied men moved supplies, a small group did earthworks, and Oran, along with Shaq, Bear, and Kate, headed to their ship.

The sci-fi style ship shocked the three of them, but Oran didn't care. To be precise, he wasn't in a good mood when he returned.

"Oran, is this your ship? What a magnificent ship! I've never seen one like this on Fishman Island. Is it made of iron?"

"Some of them are, but it's nothing serious. When we get to Fishman Island, I'll show you a much stronger ship. It's just a pity about my old buddy."

Touching the railing of the ship's side, Oran felt a little reluctant, but quickly let go of it.

Oran is a very sentimental person. Even if his favorite things are broken, he will not throw them away. This ship was the first ship he funded to be built in Piltover, and it went on many voyages with him.

"Can't you teleport it along with you?"

They had all witnessed the escape method Oran described; according to Oran, moving the ship along with the cargo should have been easy.

"Yes, but it will take a lot of time. The teleportation will be very noisy when it is activated. If we use it, it will delay the transfer of some people. Compared to human lives, it is not that important."

Let my old friend deliver a big gift to those Celestial Dragons for me. I'll settle this score with them.

"Bear, Shaq, help me pack up and move these things out of here. Kate, come this way for a second."

Oran had already decided to abandon ship, since he was capable of building another one; he only needed to take some rare and hard-to-replicate supplies with him.

Before long, Oran led Kate to the engine room, the most central part of the ship, where the holographic projection equipment that had previously hidden the ship was also operating.

"Kate, if I remember correctly, the Mink Tribe's talents include electricity, right?"

"Yes, the friction of fur among fur-bearing tribes can generate special static electricity, which is something all fur-bearing tribes use."

"Very good, try to catch it and discharge it, keep this arrow here."

According to Oran's plan, he will soon be modifying the core of the Hextech Gate, which requires a special electric field environment to ensure the stability of the Hextech Crystal's entry.

However, some of the equipment on the ship was damaged during the crossing. The backup power system was maintaining the holographic image, and the electric field could only be powered manually.

But Kate's racial gifts could serve as a more stable source.

"Is that so?"

Kate's fur began to generate static electricity through friction and started to transmit current as Oran instructed. As the device switched, a slight current barrier gradually appeared around it, indicating that the device was functioning normally.

"Yes, that's the state. How long can it last?"

"At this level, if the cat has enough strength, it can keep going."

"Don't force it. Allow enough time for safety; the electric field must remain stable."

boom!

A deafening explosion echoed from afar, and at the same time, a plume of black smoke rose from the central area of ​​God Valley, marking the official start of the Celestial Dragons' killing spree.

Even though they were far apart, Oran understood the meaning behind the cannon fire.

"Time is really tight. Let's do a test first. If you feel tired, just say so."

Inside the cabin, Oran began his experiment, while outside, Ivankov and Ginny heard the cannon fire from the center.

"Hurry up! The Celestial Dragons' massacre will begin in an hour. This is the last safe time!"

At this moment, Ivankov, with a cloth wrapped around his face and a gun in his hand, was directing the craftsmen forward like a bandit. However, these people had families to support, so they couldn't move very fast.

However, this place is already somewhat orderly. From the moment the Celestial Dragons announced the start of the event, the island had already turned into a lawless zone.

The king's death fueled fear in the hearts of the people, and the once unified Valley of the Gods crumbled almost instantly, leaving the people with nowhere to go, like scattered pieces.

However, a small portion of it was connected around Oran as the core, and although it was not precise, it was operating roughly.

The holographic device moved its position, creating a screen at both ends and above the canyon, temporarily blocking the view of people in the distance.

Observation posts were set up on the nearby mountains to monitor the situation and issue warnings when anyone approaches.

Oran took the time to explain the blueprints to the craftsmen, and a large-scale assembly project began in the canyon. Oran himself, with the help of Cate, modified the Hextech Core.

Silent, oppressive, facing the threat of death, they desperately tried to grasp at this last straw.

As the sun rises and sets, the enormous machinery gradually takes shape, but the atmosphere in the canyon gradually becomes oppressive, especially when blood seeps out of the water source in the cave, at which point the oppression reaches its peak.

"I said, can that person really get us out of here? It's been days, and I haven't seen him since he finished explaining the details of the blueprints."

The two men carried a huge crossbeam toward the already taking shape flying door frame.

The people living on this sea are generally much stronger than normal people. Even without lifting equipment, workers who often do heavy work can move heavy objects by hand, which speeds up the progress of the project.

However, they were still filled with anxiety about the future.

Do you think he might run away by himself?

"Shut up! You're taking turns working. Mr. Oran hasn't slept for days. If he wanted to escape, he wouldn't bother with you guys! He even abandoned his own ship for you complete strangers!"

The people in the same group did not answer, but angry shouts came from the side.

The people here were only temporarily gathered together, and although they shared the same goal, there wasn't much trust between them.

Those who arrived later saw no sign of Oran for several days, and their suspicions inevitably grew.

But those who were rescued by Oran earlier trusted him even more, and they were the ones maintaining order and stability here these days. Shaq was one example.

He couldn't forget the first human who praised him, and he was also consciously protecting Oran.

"Alright, that's enough. Hurry up and deliver the stuff. The project over there will be finished soon."

His groupmates nudged him, stopping him from arguing with Shaq, but Shaq could clearly sense that the man was somewhat unconvinced. Just as he was about to go up and argue, he was stopped by Bear, who had been drawn over by the argument.

"Shaq, now is not the time to argue. Oran said that we can't fight amongst ourselves at a time like this."

hula.

Before Shaq could say anything, a tree on the mountaintop suddenly fell down, causing both Bear and Shaq to pause. This was a warning set up by Oran; its collapse meant that Celestial Dragons had entered the vicinity and were even approaching their settlement.

"I'll go distract them. I have the highest score, so I should be able to draw their attention."

"Bear, you..."

"I don't want to see anyone die in front of me anymore. Please tell Oran and Ivan for me."

The bear put down what it was carrying and offered to act as bait, but it encountered Ginny, who was on her way.

"Bear! Good news, those pirates have finally arrived! Once they start causing chaos, we can take advantage of the situation to execute Plan Two and steal those prizes!"

"Have you seen Brother Ivan? Oran's been busy for so long, it's time for us to get moving!"

Ginny, who was in charge of monitoring Den Den Mushi information, rushed over as soon as she received the message, but she didn't see Ivankov. Just then, Ivankov and Oran appeared together.

"Hehe! I'm here to announce some good news: Oran has completed the core transformation. Once the framework is built, we can finally leave this hellhole!"

The Celestial Dragons are approaching the canyon, pirates are about to land, and the core of the Hextech Flying Gate has been modified. These three things are being accomplished one after another. Faced with the impending chaos, Oran does not choose to wait in place.

"I hadn't figured out where to catch a Celestial Dragon yet, and now one has come to me. Isn't that perfect?"

Let's go, everyone, it's time for our stage to begin.

If you have the courage.
