Chapter 375: Who Are You Scolding!
Violent thunderclouds still loom over the archipelago waters, and from time to time blinding lightning flashes across the clouds, emitting a rolling low roar.
But in this terrible environment, the pirates on board were extremely fanatical, their red eyes staring at the rumored merchant ship full of magical items, and some even grabbed the reins of the spinnaker with one hand and raised their swords to let out strange screams of excitement.
It is not a luxury to be able to make the John Chamber of Commerce, who has worked hard in the waters of Sword Bay for decades, press the goods transported by his family, as long as he robs it, it is not a luxury to get rich overnight.
Although most of the pirates who have been rich have been rich for less than five years, and most of them have not ended well, who can really refuse this temptation when it is really in front of them?
Under the storm, no one dared to turn the rudder and fire the cannon sideways, and the result of that would probably be that before the opponent could be knocked down, his ship would capsize first... Especially for those pirate ships that don't have a lot of displacement.
But this has become their advantage, they take advantage of the storm, and the other party can only choose to go head-to-head with them.
When the ships of the two sides are staggered, they can completely surround each other, and then take advantage of the numerical advantage to jump directly into the opponent's deck when the shelling and bombardment are mutually bombarded, and quickly win by virtue of the numerical advantage.
"Aha! That's what it feels like! Lord of the Storm! Give me power!"
Standing high on the flagship, the one-eyed Addison seemed to have a kind of hallucination, and today's spectacular naval battle was prepared for him!
At this moment, he was like a child of the storm!
Bang!
Just as he was getting carried away, a huge crossbow arrow suddenly shot out from the bow of the merchant ship opposite, with a terrifying magical aura on it!
"Shit! They have magic ballistas!"
Addison's face changed drastically, and the moment the ballista came, he jumped up directly, grabbed the reins and swung towards the deck.
He had barely jumped out of his body when there was a loud bang behind him.
The main mast of the pirate ship was directly broken in response, and his body that jumped in mid-air also suddenly became weightless, and he rolled several times in succession directly on the floor, and the deck under the rainstorm was extremely slippery, and the whole person almost flew out of the deck directly.
As soon as he looked up, he saw that the unabated bolt turned into a parabola in the sky, smashing a large hole in the deck of a ship behind them...
Straight shot through the pair... You can still faintly see the flames rising into the sky.
The ship began to sink at a speed visible to the naked eye, and some of the pirates who were on fire also wailed and jumped into the raging waters.
"What a ruthless..."
This scene suddenly calmed down the pirate leader...
His bare head was full of water droplets, and he didn't know if it was more rain or more sweat.
But there are more variables today than he imagined.
As soon as he climbed aboard the ship, he saw a pirate pointing to the sea in some shock and stammering:
"The ship... Captain, a ghost ship, a ghost ship!"
"you Made! A magic ballista will scare you stupid? I'm ready! Whether you'll die at the bottom of the sea or get rich depends on this wave!"
Addison pulled a big-eared melon seed, he had never encountered the legendary real ghost ship when he was so big, even the so-called ghost ship in Luskan was full of living people.
Still, he glanced back suspiciously, and then his eyes widened:
"!"
I saw that the four merchant ships that were supposed to sink in the huge waves caused by Merlindra were actually pulled up from under the surface of the sea again...
But there was still not a single person to be seen on the deck...
It wasn't until most of the four merchant ships finally surfaced that he finally knew why they were able to resurface...
I finally knew why Wei's subordinates had been insisting that there was no one on that merchant ship...
Because he really doesn't have anybody... Only the Fish-Man...
Under the four merchant ships, there are densely packed with fishmen!
There are so many that a glance at the past can definitely make a dense phobia die on the spot...
These four merchant ships were carried forward completely by the fishmen below the surface of the sea...
All the pirates who saw this scene couldn't help but shudder.
And as it 'pulled' out of the sea, the fish-men began to climb along the side of the ship, and in the dim light there was like a swarm of wriggling barnacles, and in an instant, they were like pirates, and they hung the reins like pirates, as if they had completely covered the whole ship, and the scene looked very strange in the light of lightning.
"Could it be that the squid colonies of the Sea of No Trace have begun to attack the Nærancer Islands?" said one of the pirates, a little skeptical.
This sudden change made them want to retreat, but the storm was still strong,
They don't seem to have a second better choice than a tough fight with each other.
......
This strange scene not only made the originally fanatical pirates fall silent, but even the adventurers who were already determined to die couldn't help but feel the same question when they were guarded by the four ships crawling with 'monsters' in the center of the dreadnought.
"No... It's not like a Sawa Fishman... Most of the fish-people I've seen look more like finned lizards, and some even have four arms. It's more like... Kou Tao Fishman. ”
As soon as the mage Jason finished speaking, he added with some uncertainty: "But the Kou Tao Fishman is not nearly extinct... Is there still a remnant only in the dark regions?"
"Well... It's disgusting... It's scary... We are surrounded, what are we going to do?"
Sharela, who has a phobia of intensity, only feels that her feet are a little weak...
She could even imagine the terrible nightmares when the dense fish-man lunged at her, licking at her skin with its soft tongue.
She instinctively wanted to pray to the goddess, but she was afraid of going against the true meaning behind the oracle.
"Don't panic... How do I feel, they don't feel like they're coming for us, they're on our side. Jason wondered.
"Look at the stance... It seems that this is really the case. The warrior with the broadsword said with some joy.
I saw the four ships that had risen out of the sea and were loaded with Kou Tao Fishmen straight past them, and took the lead in charging towards the pirate ship array.
And on the mainmast of the first ship, a petite Kou Tao fishman with a black blindfold pointed obliquely at the reef harpoon and let out a war cry:
"Grunt!
"Goo-goo!"
"Gollum Purr!"
For a moment, it seemed as if the entire sea was overwhelmed by the strange war cries of the fishmen.
At this moment, the sluggish crowd heard the hoarse shouts of Felix, the captain of the ship's escort, coming from the front:
"Attention everyone, the local ships are about to take over!
"Draw your sword!
"Tampas, the god of war, is watching us!"
"Help me!"
"O Ranger Goddess Mekelly, let me aim a little more accurately!
After the brainwashing roar of the Fishmen, the deck of the Intrepid began to fill the deck with prayers of all colors.
"Load! Ready to fire!"
And beneath the cabin, hundreds of sailors also nervously and methodically began to load the alchemy cannonballs at the sound of orders.
In fact, in this generation of alchemy shells, it is no longer a matter of using flames to stimulate the barrel, but as long as a sledgehammer hits the metal hammer heavily, the goblin explosives inside are squeezed, and the components are demonized, and the intense heat will be released to send the solid cannonball out of the barrel, but the sailors are still used to shouting the command to fire.
......
"Damn! Those fishmen are actually in league with them. ”
One-eyed Addison ordered in a bit of a rage, "Shoot! Get ready to fire! Boom me! Fuck it! Follow me!" Watch out for those damn fishmen!"
As he spoke, he climbed up to the reins of the pole in three or two like nimble monkeys.
Driven by the storm, the ships on both sides approached faster than expected!
"Ready!" Just as everyone was holding their breath, a scream suddenly came from one side, followed by a deafening sound of artillery fire.
To the surprise of all the pirates, the first source of the sound was actually the four merchant ships full of fishmen!
The fish-people actually use alchemy cannons?
This simply subverted their three views.
"Shoot back! Shoot back! You shit!"
In the firelight, black alchemy cannonballs came and went, constantly tearing each other's hull structures, and occasionally some unlucky eggs could be seen flying directly into tattered pieces of meat by the cannonballs.
In just the blink of an eye, several pirate ships appeared on a large scale.
At the same time, the strange cries of the fish-men and the howls of pirates being harpooned in the chest and abdomen were heard in the sky.
Almost as soon as they fell into the water, they were dragged down to the bottom of the sea by more fishmen in despair, and kept stabbing the sand bag with the coral fork in their hands, and a puff of blood mist burst out in an instant, and their limbs stopped dancing uselessly.
What made the pirates a little devastated was that the four broken ships had obviously been blasted into a sieve by them, but they were so unsinkable!
It's even tougher than a real ghost ship!
Finally, when they crossed the four scalp-numbing 'fish boats', the pirates, who were already about to be driven crazy by the raging fishmen, would rather rush to the 'Intrepid' and fight the guards on the ship than get entangled with the fishmen who could never be killed.
These ghosts, which are no taller than their knees, are not very powerful individually, but they can be consumed alive by their numbers.
"It's now!
"Fire!
"Fire!
"Fire!"
The sailors in the cabins of both sides roared hoarsely.
Every one of their shells has the potential to sink the last of the enemy.
Boom!
Bang bang!
The Intrepid and even its staggered pirate ships fired in unison.
With a bang, a large hole was made in the cabin of a certain pirate ship that was on the side of the intrepid at the front, and a pirate who was about to fill the cannonball was directly hit by the cannonball on the opposite side.
The pirate who was in charge of firing on the side saw through the hideous holes in the cabin that he couldn't believe.
Under the combined bombardment of at least four pirate ships, the invincible flowering bombs that had passed on the opposite side of the ship actually burst into dazzling sparks, and they bounced off one after another and fell into the water in vain.
As more and more shelling grew, the planks on the ship's side fell off little by little, revealing the dark color underneath.
At best, their bombardment left a pit in the iron armor, but it barely broke through the defense...
Unless several shots hit the same part in succession, but the landing point of the ship's artillery is completely depending on the face ...
"Iron, iron, iron, iron... Hehehehe, I must be fucking dreaming! First the fish-man, then the ironclad boat floating on the water... I must..."
The pirate took a few nervous steps back, and as soon as he showed his yellow fangs, his head was shattered by another cannonball that broke through the wall, and the headless body rolled out of the distance.
Beneath the cabin, only the desperate roars and wails of the pirates remained.
Under the bombardment of the saturated fire of the Dreadnought, all the pirate ships that met him close to him were shattered and sank.
"The ship is sinking! Jump fast! Kill me with me!"
At this point in the battle, Addison was also a little desperate.
He can see that the other party's endless strange methods are almost all to prevent them...
He even had the illusion that the other party was taking the initiative to lure them to come and catch them all.
But he can't care so much at this time, and only when he kills can there be a glimmer of hope.
Click.
He slashed off the side of the reins, and the whole person jumped towards the opposite deck like a swing.
This is the broadside battle!
That's Jumping!
This is the blood and romance that belongs to pirates!
But that's all in the past...
There are too many adventurers on the opposite deck! and most of them are not low-level.
If it weren't for those damn fishmen, they would have paid a small price and could have fought each other out, but those fishmen had at least pinned down most of their forces!
With a pop, Addison just rolled to the ground, slashed the dwarf's hammer away, and kicked him to the ground with his foot raised, holding the knife in his backhand, ready to execute the first enemy of the day's raid.
"Jason save me! I've got a hard stubble!" the dead dwarf rolled and dodged his fatal blow.
As soon as he smashed the charging shield warrior with a punch, out of the corner of his eye, he saw three mana missiles attacking in succession, dodged the first one with his side head, and then slashed two times in succession with his sword, and pulled out the dagger on his waist with his left hand and threw it out.
Burst.
The mage fell to his knees on the spot, covering his chest.
"Uncle Jason!" a delicate priest next to her screamed.
"Yes, yes, that's it! That's what I know, the helpless cries of the adventurers, the screams of the priest chick, ah, this is the life of a pirate I'm familiar with. ”
One-eyed Addison finally smiled, and danced a knife flower as he spoke, Deal with these, well, this blonde chick has to be kept, and it can be sold for a good price after enjoying it, this is... Woking's priest, he hasn't tasted this goddess priest yet.
"Oh, is that so? A joking voice suddenly sounded behind him.
Addison's body froze suddenly, his instincts causing him to feel an extremely dangerous feeling.
It's not Alyssa, the queen of Sword Bay! It's not Archmage Fischer who has been lured away, could it be that there are other high-level professionals on this ship? But the two apprentices in the intelligence are just low-level professionals.
His rusty body slowly turned around, and his eyelids jumped.
Because there is only one blood stain left in the corner of the mouth in front of me... Glacier Malamute?
"A... Dogs?" muttered Addison.
"Who are you scolding!" the 'dog' was stunned for a moment, then showed a humanized angry face and bared his teeth at him.
As a terrifying aura enveloped the entire Dreadnought, the pirates who were fighting the adventurers were stunned.
click, and I saw that the deck began to freeze at a speed visible to the naked eye.
And the source of these ices, the corners of the glacier sled dog's mouth were all over the ear, and then swelled up at a speed visible to the naked eye.
As his front paws lifted off the ground, in the blink of an eye, he became a behemoth more than eight feet tall.
A... Silvery...
Gnolls?!
Some parts of the limbs can also be seen with silver, plate-like scales.
"Fierce? Scales? Is this really... A Dragonborn?"
Addison instinctively swallowed.
He finally knew why the other party was angry, and he was angry if he was replaced.
And then... He ran as soon as he pulled his legs! In three or two steps, he rushed to the side of the ship, and he was about to jump into the sea.
Seeing that the pirate leader was so decisive, the dragonborn gnolls were also stunned for a moment, and then they were furious, pounced violently, and slapped their claws towards each other.
Addison, who was stepping on the side of the ship, could only instinctively turn around and raise his knife to resist.
Then he felt as if he had been hit directly by a battering ram, like a kite off the string and flying into the sea with a mist of blood.
"Damn! It's all a trap...
"Shit Red Devil.
"The shit Arcane Brotherhood, none of them can be relied upon at a critical time!"
Addison, whose consciousness had become a little blurred, could only instinctively swim in the direction of the island, and suddenly felt that there was also fire in the sea.
Then he saw a red-robed bald head chasing the gorgon who was more embarrassed than him...
Is that... Merlindela?
He was mentally balanced in an instant...
Originally... He's not the worst.
Vaguely, he seemed to see the shadows of more than a dozen ships in the depths of the sea...
'Shit... It's really sneaking under the sea!'
If you had seen this scene a few minutes ago, you would have been able to rejoice...
But now...
Just as he was estimating whether the arrival of reinforcements would change the situation, a tuna suddenly sped past him...
His eyes widened.
He seemed to see that there was something tied to the belly of the tuna from earlier...
Grunt.
A bubble of air burst out of his mouth, and his eyes widened.
He saw a group of fishmen who seemed to notice him and swam towards him!
Frightened, he hurriedly swam frantically towards the shore.
"Shit!! grunt..."
......
With a shrill siren in the dreadnought's cabin, Levi's eyes snapped open.
"Finally... Are you coming?"
