The Battle with the Fishmen (New Year's Subscription Drive)

The Goblin Automatic Missile was, by far, the most powerful artillery in Liu Zhi's arsenal.

Its greatest strength wasn't how it launched the missiles, but how they were made. Liu Zhi carried all sorts of materials, though most of them were ores.

At Liu Zhi's command, the Titan constructs loaded large quantities of ore into the Goblin Automatic Missile machines.

The goblins hadn't specified how much ore to use, but their instructions said: the more, the better; the denser, the better.

So the Titan constructs, who didn't give things much thought, simply followed those instructions.

Each Goblin Automatic Missile was loaded with at least thirty kilograms of ore. Most of it was energy-rich sand and stone salvaged from the sea, though some had also been brought down from above.

Once the ore was put into the machine, it was automatically compressed until it took the shape of a missile.

The goblins hadn't originally intended to shape these materials like missiles, but the Black Gloves had insisted that if they were called missiles, they ought to look like missiles. A metal ball just wouldn't be any fun.

Liu Zhi's Titan constructs didn't understand the goblins' way of thinking at all. After loading everything as instructed, they pressed the button on the Goblin Automatic Missile.

One after another, oddly shaped missiles painted with shark mouths shot out, charging toward the Fishmen's warships like trucks.

The Fishmen's warships immediately reacted to the missiles, which were obviously physical attacks. They spewed out something that looked like black ink.

The ink formed a defensive barrier in front of the warships. It was clear that with this barrier in place, Liu Zhi's missiles couldn't lock onto their targets.

This method might have worked well against conventional missiles. After all, most missiles relied on locking onto their
