Chapter 683 Iceberg 2
I turned my head to look at the ghost ship as the cannon roared, but all I could see was the smoke of the ship, and all I saw was the smoke of the ship, and the only thing I could see was the black dots flying towards our ship with a whistling sound.
"Get down!" I reached out and hugged Ren Tianqing, forcibly pressed her to the deck, threw herself behind the other party, and protected her under me.
As soon as I put my hands on my head, the cannonballs fell through the curtain of light that had not yet been closed and fell to the deck, bursting into the sky near us with a loud fire, and the shattered shrapnel flew all over the sky, whipping several paladins into the water from behind.
The Knights' defensive light array was declared defeated before it could be fully utilized.
The ghost ship also approached us a few dozen meters in an instant.
The main weapon of the ghost ship is the medieval artillery, whether it is the range, accuracy, or lethality of the modern artillery, it is not on the same day, but once the ghost ship closes the distance, what awaits us is still the result of sitting and waiting for death.
Now, we have no other way but to run frantically.
Betty was still standing on the deck of the whole ship: "Pay attention to concealment, inform the captain to speed up, hurry up and ......"
Betty gave the order in succession, and the missionary also stood up in disgrace: "Betty, I command you, turn your head immediately, rush back, and rush to the ghost ship to fight those devils to the death." ”
If the range of the weapon is insufficient, the battle of the ship is indeed the best way, but only if we can get on the other side's deck.
Although the ghost ship is full of gunfire, no one dares to guarantee that the ghost ship glowing with green light is the real thing, in case the paladin steps on the deck, the ghost ship suddenly disappears, and they are only left to die in the belly of the fish.
Before Betty could explain anything, another round of cannon fire was set off on the ghost ship, this time the salvo was significantly less than half the original, but the sound of the cannonballs flying brought an eerie hum.
"Chain cannonballs!" I glanced up, and was pulled by a chain of fast-circling cannonballs, and was stunned, is there really such a thing in the world?
To put it bluntly, the chain cannonball is two iron balls connected by chains, and after the cannonball is fired, the two iron balls will rotate at high speed under the traction of the chain and sweep in all directions.
It is said that this shell was specially used to destroy the mast of a warship, or to deal with a dense formation of infantry, and was invincible when the two armies faced each other.
In the past, I always thought that it was impossible for artillery to fire such shells accurately, but now that I see it with my own eyes, I can't help but be stunned on the spot.
In a matter of seconds, a chain cannonball swept through the cross at the edge of the deck, and the stake, the thickness of a calf, was like a match and broke in two under the impact of the iron cable, and the sawdust flew everywhere.
The chain cannonball was castrated without abating, easily tearing through the steel armor of the three paladins, twisting the people into two pieces, and between the blood and flesh of the broken corpses, the chain cannonballs flew straight in the direction of Betty.
"Be careful!" I roared and jumped up from the ground, almost clinging to the edge of the cannonball, rushing out for several meters, holding Betty and throwing her to the ground.
The lower half of the missionary's body was carried into the sea by the whirlwind, and the remaining half of the body fell on the boat, and the other party did not breathe for a while, holding the board of the ship with both hands and struggling desperately and shouting: "Betty, I command you to ......"
Without waiting for the other to finish, I flew up on the ground and kicked him on the temple, and the missionary was silent.
Fortunately, the people on the deck, all dodging the shells, were either lying on the ground or huddled in the corner, so that they didn't see me kick the missionary alive before he could breathe.
Betty, the only one who had noticed my movements, actively ignored the anomaly in front of her, and rushed into the cabin to keep urging the captain to speed up.
The captain of the six gods and no master has long been unable to care about what instruments to see, and has pushed the speed of the ship to the peak again and again.
Although the ghost ship chasing after us no longer fired, its speed did not slow down at all, and it clung to us and did not leave us an inch.
We don't know how far we have gone, but suddenly a burst of inexplicable horror rose in my heart for no reason, as if I had a premonition of danger coming.
When I looked out the window, I saw a huge shadow floating under our ship.
Beneath that shadowed area, even in the cabin, I could see it much beyond the edge of the ship, and it looked like an island had suddenly risen from the bottom of our ship.
"Hurry up!" I yelled, "Rush out of the shadows." ”
"Hell, this is already the fastest!" said the captain's voice with mad despair.
No matter how fast the captain accelerated, the black shadow always followed the bottom of my ship at a constant speed, and it was slowly floating upwards.
It wasn't until the dark shadow showed its rough outline that I could see that it was a huge sea ship.
I don't know who shouted frantically on the deck: "Titanic, Titanic is ...... under our ship"
In the next moment, an earth-shattering loud noise came from the stern of the ship, and the freighter we were on was lifted halfway from back to front as if by a huge force, pushed diagonally out of the sea for a few meters, and then fell into the water with a bang.
The people in the cabin fell into a ball in a hurry, and when we reacted, there was a loud bang again in the direction of the bow.
"I've hit a rock!" I suddenly got up, and instead of a reef, I saw a small island covered in ice and snow that looked like a glacier. Our ship hit the edge of the island, and the bow of the ship got stuck in the glacier.
The ghost ship that has been chasing after us all this time is nowhere to be found. The Titanic, which once surfaced under the ship, is also nowhere to be found. If it weren't for our ship still stuck in the iceberg, who would have thought that we had just escaped death under two ghost ships.
"Pack your things and get off the ship......!" Betty didn't have time to care what the place was, and quickly commanded the paladin to move all the equipment and supplies off the ship.
I glanced at the calm sea and said, "We can't get too close to the sea, we have to go up." ”
Betty glanced at the iceberg on the island: "Go to the back of the mountain and set up camp and send out scouts to search the whole island." ”
I didn't expect Betty to bring out as many as 200 Holy Knights this time, and we gathered more than 300 people with the sailors on board.
While the accompanying priests were busy comforting the sailors and treating the wounded, a few of us sat down in the coffin, and I spoke first: "Who of you knows the legend of the sinking of the Titanic?"
Betty said: "All I know is that the Titanic sank because it hit an iceberg that fell off from Greenland, causing the biggest shipwreck at the time. It is said that the iceberg has existed for more than 100,000 years. ”
I nodded slightly and said, "This is a normal statement, what about legends?"
Ren Tianqing whispered: "I heard a legend about the curse of the mummy, the legend ......"
"At the end of 1890, four young Englishmen came to Egypt. Local smugglers peddled an ancient Egyptian coffin containing the mummy of the princess Yamanra. After they bought the coffin, bad luck followed. ”
"The four young men, first one of them left the hotel for no reason and disappeared into the desert, and then some innocently were shot and had to have their arms amputated. The remaining two also fell seriously ill after returning to China, reduced to the point of begging for a living. ”
The mysterious mummy was later transported back to Britain, but those who came into contact with the mummy were doomed, and the family of the wealthy merchant who bought the mummy died in a car accident. ”
Then there was the British Museum, which housed the mummies, and in a week four people died mysteriously in a row, and finally the museum guards were ready to resign en masse. ”
"Even after the mummy was hidden in the basement, the museum director who sent it into the basement was taken away. ”
By this time, the cursed mummy had become famous. A newspaper photojournalist went deep into the basement to take some pictures of the mummy, only to have a terrible face washed out of one of the photos. ”
Later, no one knows what the actual situation was, only that the photojournalist was found in his home the next day, and the cause of death was a suicide shot. ”
Soon after, the British Museum gave the mummy to a collector who immediately asked Lady Rawatsky, the most famous witch in Europe at the time, to exorcise evil spirits from the mummy. After an elaborate exorcism ritual, Mrs. Ravatsky declared that the mummy contained an astonishing amount of evil energy, and that it was impossible to exorcise the mummy, because the demon would remain in her body forever, and no one could do anything about it. Finally, Mrs. Ravacsky gave the collector advice: get rid of it as soon as possible. ”
"However, at this point, no museum is willing to accept the mummy of Princess Yamanla, because in the past 10 years, 20 people have suffered misfortunes and even lost their lives because of her. ”
However, the story doesn't end there. Soon after, an unbelieving MG archaeologist bought Princess Yamanra for a handsome sum of money, despite her horrific past, with the intention of placing her in New York City. ”
In April 1912, the new owner of the princess personally escorted her and lifted her aboard a ship that caused a sensation in the shipbuilding world at the time. For the sake of prudence, he also placed her near the captain's quarters, hoping that she would arrive in New York in peace. ”
"Princess Yamanra mummy. The last ship on board is the 'Titanic', which is now known to women and children, and the Titanic, known as the unsinkable ship, was buried at the bottom of the sea because of the impact on the iceberg. This is the end of the mummy story. ”
