Chapter 346: When a Legend Ceases to Be a Legend

When the bolt hits the prey, it is firmly nailed to the prey.

Then those large sea creatures will float at sea with their boats for a long time, and then they will be boiled alive.

This kind of crossbow is all too familiar to the Cummins family, who have been begging for a living at sea all year round, and they are not only familiar but also often used.

However, they did not use it to hunt whales, but to hunt merchant ships on the West Coast.

Once shot, the next step is to engage in a string fight.

Obviously, this is what the Eternal Night Leader is going to do next.

Compared to the sea ships of the Cummins family, the ships of the Eternal Night Army have no advantage in draft and impact resistance.

But there was no comparison between the two compared to the load, and the Eternal Night Commander's ship was three to five times larger than the Cummins family ships, only a little more.

What made the Cummins' sailors tingle even more was that they had previously chased the main force of the Eternal Night Army's retreat from Brother Port.

In other words, the ships of the Eternal Night Army are now carrying their main legions.

Under the reflection of the setting sun, the buildings and boats flickered with the unique cold light of heavy armor.

Close combat with heavy infantry is a matter of uncertainty even for the brave Cummins sailors.

It's all cheating.

Like the Cummins family, who beg for a living on the water all year round, not to mention heavy armor, even leather armor is not much.

Because once you fall into the water, these superfluous burdens are deadly.

Those who can buy themselves a sharkskin leather armor are all petty officers with some status, and most of the sailors go into battle barearmed.

If everyone is in the same situation, there is no such thing as fairness or unfairness.

But once one side boarded the ship in heavy armor and engaged in a string battle, it would be a disaster for the other side.

From top to bottom, the Cummins family battleship was shouting frantically, "Cut the ropes, cut the ropes, and never let them come closer." ”

Some experienced veteran sailors have already spontaneously taken action, dragging ropes, biting war knives and sliding down, and slashing at the whale hunting crossbow ropes.

The whale hunting crossbow rope shot from the Eternal Night Army's leading ship was only two thumbs thick, and it didn't look very strong, and the sharp war knives polished by those elite veterans fell on it, not to mention cutting it by the roots, even slashing several times, not even a single filament.

They are half-suspended in the air like this, and it is difficult to use their strength on the one hand, and the main thing is that the rope of the Eternal Night Army is not very difficult.

These ropes are specially made by the Eternal Night Lords, woven from the silk of the hunting birds and spiders that are the specialties of their territory.

In terms of toughness, it is not much more than the wire rope, and it also has the toughness that the wire rope does not have.

"Burn with fire, burn with fire!" some clever Cummins sailors thought of a new way to replace their blades with torches.

Some poured fire oil directly onto the ropes of the whale hunting crossbows.

However, the expected homeopathic spread did not appear, and even after pouring the oil on it, most of the burning oil was kerose, and the ropes made of the silk of the birds and birds of hunting began to turn red like a wire rope, but there was no sign of breaking or burning.

The ignition point of this kind of rope is unbelievably high, and it is difficult for ordinary flames to ignite them, which is a bit contrary to ordinary physical characteristics.

This trait is naturally not natural, but cultivated by the Eternal Night Commander.

As mentioned before, anything that is associated with magical energy will have the property of breaking common sense.

The large-scale breeding of bird hunting spiders by the Eternal Night Army is already a type of Warcraft in the strict sense, but under the artificial selection factor, their ability is not reflected in themselves, but in the spider silk they produce.

The increase in resilience is just the icing on the cake.

This super fire resistance is what really makes them shine, making them more practical and versatile.

Of course, this ignition point is only relative, no matter how much the spider silk of hunting birds changes, it can't change the essence of biological materials, it is impossible to have a burning point like steel, and after being calcined by the fire for a period of time, it will still become relatively soft, and then with the axe and machete, they can still be chopped.

But the problem was that the Eternal Night Warlord couldn't have given them so much time to react, and by the time they were dealing with the whale hunting crossbow ropes nailed to the battleship, more whale hunting crossbows had already been fired, and the distance between the two sides was constantly closing.

In addition to the whale hunting crossbow, there were many more hook ropes hooked onto the Cummins family ship.

Countless charging warships led by the Eternal Night Army have shuttled over like swimming fish, closely leaning on the Cummins family warship, and launched a ship-grabbing battle.

In the battlefield deliberately created by the Eternal Night Leader, those small ships are better than the big ones.

After there was no way to move, these large warships became out-and-out targets.

As the flagship of the Cummins family, the Dragonwreck Battleship was naturally targeted by the Eternal Night Commander, and two building ships rushed towards it.

One of them is the Rock, more precisely the Rock One, which is the flagship of the Eternal Night Army, and the Explorer assists it.

What's more interesting.

The energy shield of the dragon wreck battleship is not triggered indiscriminately, at least it does not react to the rain of arrows of the Eternal Night Leader.

But against the whale hunting crossbow arrows, the moment it hits, there will be an energy shield that will come out and directly bounce it away.

Obviously, this difference should be whether it will cause relatively serious damage to the dragon wreck battleship itself, and it is very likely that this energy shield is not artificially controlled, but passively triggered.

After realizing that the whale hunting crossbow could not be effective against it, the Eternal Night Warlord decisively changed his strategy and directly used a trebuchet to throw a huge anchor at the dragon wreck battleship.

This thing won't cause piercing damage to the Dragonwreck's body, so it's up to you to see if you can bullet or not.

It turns out that the Eternal Night Lord's guess was not wrong.

Before the anchor made actual contact with the dragon wreck battleship, the energy shield did not appear, until the solid anchor was slammed down, and the energy shield appeared in hindsight, resisting most of the impact of the anchor, but the anchor still hung smoothly on the dragon wreck battleship.

After more than a dozen attempts, the four anchors of the Rock One and the Explorer were hung on top of the Dragonwreck Battleship at the same time.

Even if the dragon wreck battleship is a strong dragon crossing the river, it is a little difficult to move at this moment.

While being dragged by the two building ships, a large number of charging warships rushed up.

The contrast between the two sides is like that of an elephant and a hyena.

In normal times, elephants can trample several hyenas to death with just a slight lift of their feet, and the difference in size between the two is too large.

But the problem is that now the elephant is tied to four legs, and there are herds of hyenas, swarming up.

It's a little less pretty.

Although it turned over and could still crush a piece of hyenas, it couldn't hold up the numbers.

If there are too many ants, they can gnaw at the elephant.

What's more, the Eternal Night Leaders are not ants, and they are not alone.

Just when the warships of both sides rushed together.

On both sides of the Danube River, countless crocodiles rushed out with their own boats, shouting excitedly.

Faintly discerning from the wave of human voices, shouts such as "kill them all" and "snatch their ships" can be discerned.

Even ordinary crocodile soldiers could tell that this was a rare and good situation, and if they missed this time, they would never have a chance to eat the Commins fleet again.

Therefore, there was no need for those crocodile elders to encourage them, and these crocodile soldiers marched forward one by one.

They have been aggrieved for too long.

They lost the west bank of the Swamp of Despair, they lost the Fog Hidden Lake, they lost the brother port.

Once they retreat to Andes Mountain behind the Death's Aqueduct, they will lose the entire Swamp of Despair, their people, the home they have lived in for generations.

This is something that every bloody crocodile does not want to see.

As long as they can take the ships of the Cummins, they will be able to turn the tide and turn the tide of the battle in the entire Swamp of Despair.

This is what the wise officers of the Eternal Night Army told them, they didn't believe it, but at this moment, they did.

"Captain, let's break through! If you can withdraw one by one, if you continue to entangle, our Third Fleet will be trapped and die here. Bray, the vice-captain of the Dragonwreck, suggested again.

So far, there are only seven or eight warships in the fleet of the Cummins family, which has fallen under the siege of the Eternal Night Army, and most of the rest are still outside the range of the Eternal Night Army's mountaintop artillery bombardment.

The Cummins family fleet pursued before, and did not gather the entire fleet together, but divided into two echelons, echoing each other from afar, supporting each other, and no matter which echelon was attacked, the other side reacted immediately.

It's just that the traps prepared by the Eternal Night Leader are too vicious, targeting the weaknesses of the Cummins family warships at every turn, and this section of water is now a literal swamp on the water, and if you come in, you will fall into one.

The second echelon of the Cummins family's fleet, rushing in now will not only not help much, but will make the situation more chaotic, and the already extremely congested battlefield will directly become solid, and when the time comes, none of the Cummins family's warships will be able to run.

The commander of the second echelon of the Cummins family fleet was also a smart man, and he noticed this at the first time, and did not rush blindly forward, but turned the bow of the ship with difficulty to prepare for the retreat, and at the same time gave the first echelon of stone throwing and arrow support.

The role is obviously quite limited.

Before the large-scale rise of firearms, the means of long-range attack in naval warfare were quite scarce.

Even the Cummins family, who are at the forefront of shipbuilding, are no exception.

The most lethal tactic of their warships is the ship ramming.

When this move was abolished, the combat effectiveness of their battleship was reduced by two-thirds.

As for the chord battle, just look at the sea of people on the entire Danube River, and the Cummins family battleships are at an absolute disadvantage.

As mentioned before, the Cummins family is just a strong dragon that crosses the river, and the Eternal Night Leader and the Crocodile are the real snakes.

When Stubin ignored this and chased all the way to the door of someone's house, he was destined to take a big heel.

The roots of Stubbin's teeth were about to bleed, and there were no words to describe the stinging pain in his heart.

The Third Fleet is the foundation of his survival, every warship is earned by his hard work, and every sailor crew is personally selected by him.

Now they are dying and falling before themselves.

Watching the soldiers of the Eternal Night Command flood onto his battleship, Stubin felt like his whole body was about to burn, but there was nothing he could do.

One wrong step, one wrong step.

When he clung to the Eternal Night Leader, he had already made an unforgivable mistake.

Just knowing the trap, he still chose to move forward.

It's hard to say right or wrong right now.

As Stubbin had previously said, if they had turned in the previous waters, they would have become a living target, and the Eternal Night Leader would have launched a counterattack.

There is no regret pill to sell.

What Stubin should be thinking about now is how to stop the loss, and if he wants to exit with the Cummins family fleet, it is obviously impossible.

Now that the situation has been reversed, the Eternal Night Commander will definitely bite them to the death,

"Each battleship will find a way to retreat on its own!" Steobin gave the order he was least willing to give with red eyes.

At this time, Stubin did not give up hope, and his confidence naturally came from the flagship dragon wreck battleship under his seat.

At the moment of giving the order, Stubin had already pressed on the dragon wreck battleship with a solemn expression.

Roar!

A roar louder than thunder in the clear sky came, and a huge phantom appeared on the dragon skeleton battleship.

"That's ...... Is that...... That's a dragon?"

"The head has two horns, a hideous face, five claws on the feet, and dragon wings covering the sky...... Is it really a dragon, is the legend true? Is the Dragonwreck Battleship of the Cummins really a sea ship made of dragon bones as a keel?"

"The true god is above, the legend is true, the legend is true, there really is a dragon in this world. ”

"Don't panic, don't panic, give me to continue to rush up, it's just a phantom, it's a trick, it's not a real dragon, cowardice, give me up, a dead thing will scare you like this, think that you are the warriors of the crocodile people, don't forget, we are not fighting for ourselves now, but for the people, fighting for the homeland, not to mention a dead thing, even if it is a real dragon appeared in front of us, for the homeland, we will slaughter him, for the homeland, for the clan, rush." ”

"They are going to run, all the ropes, all the ropes that can be tied strong, all of them are tied to me strongly, even if they really become dragons, they can't let them fly out. ”

"The First Army, the whole army is attacking. ”

"The Second Army, the whole army attacked. ”

"The Third Army, the whole army is attacking. ”

"The dragon strikes, invincible, drive them out of our warship, kill!"

"Block the enemy, you must block the enemy, follow the flagship, take the opportunity to rush out, this is our last chance. ”

That's right, just now, the figure of a giant dragon appeared in the sky above the dragon wreck battleship.

Half to be more precise, most of it overlaps with the Dragonwreck Battleship.

Although this dragon phantom only lasted for a few seconds, it was enough for most of the people on the battlefield to see it.

The impact speaks for itself.

Like elves, giants, and gods, dragons are creatures that only exist in legends.

Even whether they actually existed on this land is highly debatable, after all, no one has ever seen their traces with their own eyes.

Now he suddenly appeared in front of him, even if it was just a phantom, people couldn't accept it for a while.

It's just a phantom, that kind of ferocious might, rushing to the face, pressing people out of breath, what kind of situation is this creature when it is alive?

When the dragon phantom on the dragon wreck battleship appeared, several emotions appeared on the entire battlefield.

One is naturally dominated by fear, not so much by the dragon's phantom as by their own emotions.

Fear dominates, and it is unknown whether the dragon had this ability during its lifetime, but its phantom, even if it is made of magical energy, does not.
